Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 326: Light Winter

Gulis declined everyone's thanks and took the conscious child back in a low-key manner.

The "Traveler" embarks on his final journey with the Pot of Punishment, a child, and an elf.

Gulis lowered his head and looked at the child who was only as tall as his calf. He was holding a cute little pink and gray Pokémon and was following him carefully.

"Grandpa, where are we going?"

Noticing the gaze, the child looked up and tilted his head and asked.

And the Punishment Hoopa in his arms was making an angry face at Gulis.

"Go and seal the Pot of Punishment and the power within it."

Gulis bent down and patted the child's head gently.

After saying that, he continued on his journey with the child and the elf, but his pace was a little slower than before.

"Oh." The child nodded and continued on his way.

Although the child did not have any special reaction to Gulis's words, Hupa in his arms was screaming with anger.

The child let him do what he wanted and just wrapped his little arms around him to prevent Hoopa from falling accidentally.

Seeing that both the big and the small ignored him, Hoopa curled his lips and continued to make faces at Gulis's back.

After a silent journey...

"Let's team up to defeat the bad guys and take back the power!"

Hoopa suddenly leaned close to the child's ear and whispered seriously.

"But we can't beat the big bad guy."

The child looked at the tall figure in front of him and whispered back in the same serious tone.

In Bodao's vision, this big bad guy...this grandpa was glowing with golden light so rich that it was about to overflow.

The child thought about it seriously and felt that even if he and the elf in his arms joined forces, they would not be able to survive more than one round against him.

Hoopa: “… …”

Ahhhhh, he’s going to continue making trouble!

…………

…………

Coming to a dark cave, Gulis used his power to seal the Pot of Punishment here.

The child and Hoopa looked left and right, with curiosity in their eyes not concealed at all.

Gulis sighed.

When he walked over, he could hear the child whispering in a soft voice to the elf in his arms.

"Hoopa, when I grow up, I will bring you back and take your power back."

The child's fine white hair was very soft, and when the wind in the cave blew it onto Hupa's face, it felt itchy.

"So don't be sad."

The same childish and aggrieved voice: "...Really?"

"Really, really, let's make a pinky promise. Liars are dogs!"

Gulis: “… …”

If I didn't know that you two are both directionally challenged, I would have believed it.

He thought about how the man and the elf were running around like headless flies when they got lost just now, and smiled helplessly.

…………

…………

The Valley of Creation.

It is surrounded by mountains on all sides.

The child didn't know how he suddenly appeared in this place holding little Hu Pa.

Because the road they came from was too rugged and winding, he had to hold on to Gulis's clothes tightly to ensure that he would not get lost like before.

Then, he thought hard for a long time, but could not remember the road conditions on the way here.

Child: “............” Oh no, when he grows up, he won’t even be able to go out.

How about taking little Hu Pa to get the power back?

The child squatted down in frustration, unable to even hold the elf.

Hoopa floated up into the air in confusion, watching the friend he had just met fall into deep self-doubt.

Gulis laughed, squatted down, and gently touched the child's thick white hair.

It has a unique, smooth and soft feeling.

"Will you live with me in the Valley of Creation from now on?"

"...Live together?" The child looked at him puzzledly.

Gulis nodded: "Although you have forgotten what happened before, if nothing unexpected happens, the color of this land should also be in your blood..."

"I can help you master the power of this bloodline and protect you from the harm of the chaotic energy in your body..."

At the end, his voice was steady and powerful: "I have never taken care of a child, but I will try my best to take good care of you."

The child looked at Gulis silently, his beautiful silver-white pupils taking on a divine coldness when he didn't speak.

But he looked back calmly, without avoiding the direct gaze.

Although this child still looks like a calm and reliable little adult, he accurately sees the fear in the child's heart when he is in a strange world.

Being calm and well-behaved is just the protective color that this clever child gives himself.

"...Then let's live together. Let's make a promise." A soft voice said.

Gulis held out his hand.

A rough, weather-beaten little finger rests on the young hand.

…………

"Do you have a name?" Gulis asked, "or should I give you one?"

name?

The child tilted his head.

"qiu..." He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

qiu? what is this?

The child, who had been stammering in the common language of the elves, intuitively felt that this should mean "autumn".

"Qi...Qiandong." Qiandong said, "My name is Qiandong."

The first day of winter after saying goodbye to autumn.
