Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 287 Sucking Life Force

At this point, the Hundred Schools Competition officially came to an end.

"It's a badge, not a medal." Lu Qing curled his lips and looked at the exquisitely carved object in his palm.

Shi Qiu raised an eyebrow.

This is similar to the Pokémon identification test in the anime.

"Keep it, this is the ticket for next year's league conference." Versace reminded.

Lu Qing muttered something.

Shi Qiu didn't hear clearly. He just sat by the window of the bus, supporting his chin with one hand, looking at the scenery outside the window as it gradually darkened, and gradually became lost in thought.

The evening breeze blows on your face, bringing bursts of refreshing coolness.

It’s a pity that this rare peaceful atmosphere was broken not long after.

"Hey, I say, you've discovered it too, right?" Someone leaned over and whispered.

Shi Qiu turned around in horror.

Sure enough, Wu Ran was looking at him with a smile, with a hint of "you know" in his eyes.

"...If you have something to say, please speak directly, senior." Shi Qiu said helplessly, turning his head back to the window, "And next time please don't talk so quietly around people...scare people to death."

"Okay~" Wu Ran drew out the tone and stopped keeping the person in suspense.

"When your bug Tutu dog used the sacred fire to show its might in the finals, I saw the shining candlelight spirit that we encountered before."

"And recently, I also felt the presence of ghost-type elves."

There was a hint of fatigue between Wu Ran's brows.

Shi Qiu frowned and turned back suddenly.

Wu Ran smiled when he saw this: "You felt it too, right? The program also said... Tsk, I have to talk to the program when I get back."

The power of Tokiwa lit up in Shi Qiu's hand, and at the same time, the power of the wave guide circled around the body of the senior in front of him.

He was surprised to find that the life energy in Wu Ran's body was much weaker than normal.

"you......"

What is this situation, being sucked by the candlelight spirit?

Could it be that it was because of him that Wu Ran suffered this unexpected disaster?

The young man output the power of Changpan in his hands, replenishing the deficiency in Wu Ran's body.

If Wu Ran hadn't said it, he would have noticed something was wrong. Just from the look on Wu Ran's face, he couldn't tell there was anything wrong.

But how was he able to do this…… Even with a huge loss of vitality, his face was still rosy, with no outward signs of fatigue at all, except for a hint of fatigue between his eyebrows.

A few minutes later.

As the power of Changpan was cut off, Wu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

He put his hands together and bowed devoutly to Shi Qiu twice.

Shi Qiu: "......What are you doing?"

Wu Ran said "Oh" and said, "Don't worry about me. I am just paying respect to the noble role of the nanny."

"...Do you know that your vitality has been sucked away?"

"Of course I know, otherwise why would I look for you?" Wu Ran glanced at him strangely.

Shi Qiu: “… …” Please speak directly next time, don’t beat around the bush.

Wu Ran patted his sleeves and sighed, his face was covered with tears. "Ah, in the end it was because I was too reckless. I wanted to subdue this candlelight spirit, but before I could throw the ball, my vitality was gone. Wow."

"If the programmer hadn't come to me, I would have been dead."

"You actually went to get close to him by yourself?!" Shi Qiu raised his voice, "Who gave you the confidence?"

Anyone who is not a fool knows how dangerous wild candle spirits are.

Shi Qiu remembered that Wu Ran had already stopped his activities that day.

"How can you blame me without any reason?" Wu Ran said that he felt wronged.

"I was also surprised. The moment I saw the Candlelight Spirit, I couldn't move. The only thing on my mind was to capture the ball."

The baby-faced senior student pouted and said aggrievedly, "According to my guess, he should be able to amplify certain desires or negative emotions in living things."

"That's why you were so inexplicably scared that day that you couldn't even think calmly."

Being scolded by a boy a few years younger than him, even Wu Ran was depressed and felt that he was like snow in June, more wronged than Dou E.

Even you, with your special abilities, can't stop it. I, an ordinary male college student, was bewitched by chance after encountering it, so there's nothing I can do about it.

After hearing Wu Ran's words, Shi Qiu frowned even deeper.

He suddenly recalled what happened that day. Zoroark was clearly right beside him, but his mind was filled with rich ghost energy and he couldn't stop eating. He only tried to break the illusion when the green vine snake pulled his ear.

I didn't think there was anything wrong at the time, but now I think there is something wrong.

No matter how heartless the little fox Xi Cui is, Shi Qiu, the trainer, will definitely be the most important person in his heart.

How could he leave the boy alone to worry and fear just for a momentary craving?

Wu Ran looked at Shi Qiu's frowning and thoughtful expression, knowing that he had taken his words to heart. He nudged him with his elbow and continued to deliver the information without complaint.

"Also, the way this Flashing Candlelight Spirit absorbs life force is somewhat special."

"It's not like what they say on the Internet, that after being inhaled by the candlelight spirit, the whole body will become stiff and cold. On the contrary, I have felt warm these past few days."

Wu Ran smacked his lips, recalling the feelings of the past two days.

"It even feels more comfortable, like basking in the soft sunlight, lying in a rocking chair and reading a newspaper."

"Well...if it weren't for the irrepressible mental fatigue and heaviness in my body, I wouldn't have thought that my life force or soul power had been sucked away."

Shi Qiu gave up thinking and just asked Rotom to write it down and then go back and tell Dark Mewtwo.

"That's about it." Wu Ran said, and saluted in a funny way.

"I think you have to be careful. He should be keeping an eye on you."

Shi Qiu nodded.

"Okay, my mission is complete. The information is your reward for healing me just now... Well, it feels not enough. I will think about it later and prepare some surprises for you."

Wu Ran waved his hand and left leisurely.

Shi Qiu: “… …” The information is already sufficient, so there is no need for surprises.

…………

…………

After the Hundred Schools Competition ended, the arrival of March symbolizes that the new semester is about to begin.

Compared to the exciting first half of the semester, life in the second year of college will surely be much calmer and more stable.

At night, Shi Qiu returned home while thinking about this. When he saw the dusty villa, he wrinkled his nose in disgust, turned around, took the world key and entered the simulator.

He took the Rotom cell phone and prepared to start catching Dark Mewtwo everywhere and tell others about the Shining Candlelight.

However, before he could move, Dark Mewtwo had already landed next to him.

"I was just looking for you!"

Before he could finish his words, Dark Mewtwo had already teleported next to him, grabbed his wrist and was about to teleport.

"Wait... wait a minute! What's going on?" Shi Qiu called out urgently.

"The newly accessed secret realm has just appeared."
