Pokémon: Encounter

Chapter 240: Meeting the Chosen One Again

As the speedboat swayed, Nanfang half-closed his eyes, looking drowsy.

Nanfang vaguely noticed that the speed of the speedboat seemed to have slowed down. Nanfang shook his head and looked up. He saw something swimming on the sea not far from the speedboat.

"Come and see! This is a scene that is rarely seen."

Longkong greeted Nanfang.

Nan Fang rubbed his eyes and tried to see the other party clearly. Coincidentally, the other party's route was gradually approaching the speedboat.

"This is... a dragon? No... a Laplace group!?"

Nan Fang was surprised.

I saw a group of Pokémon that looked like plesiosaurs swimming slowly on the sea.

The upper part of Lapras' body is blue, while the lower skin from the chin to the tip of the tail is white.

It has a bulge on its head and spiral structures on both sides of its head.

It has a gray shell on its back with many uneven bumps on it.

Occasionally a few Lapras would flap and jump out of the sea, seemingly playing.

There are four fins under its body, and it can be clearly seen that its front two fins are larger than the back ones.

It is said that Laplace has a high intelligence that can understand human language and a gentle heart. He loves to carry humans on the sea, rarely participates in fights, and sings with a beautiful voice when he is in a good mood.

Because of this, they were hunted in large numbers by humans in the past and were on the verge of extinction.

Later, due to extreme protection in some areas, the number of them suddenly increased for a period of time, so they were used as an important means of water transportation by people in some coastal areas.

However, in our country, Lapras are still quite rare. This is in the dragon cave, but if it is outside, it is difficult to see even one, let alone a group of them. It is precisely because of the previous large-scale capture that many of the remaining Lapras resist humans.

Nanfang stood up carefully and watched, afraid of disturbing these lovely and gentle blue sea elves.

It seemed that they saw Longkong and the others. The largest Lapras led the group to swim towards the speedboat.

"Lapp~~~"

This Laplace squinted its eyes and greeted Long Kong warmly.

"You know this too?"

"Yes, I was once thrown into the sea by Articuno, and it was this bird that saved me."

"...".

"What on earth did you go through back then..."

"It's all in the past. Who hasn't been young before?"

Longkong patted Laplace's neck.

"Hey! Brother Nan? Is that you?"

"???"

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind the Laplace group.

"Xiao Rui! Why are you here?"

Nanfang leaned back and looked. A boy wearing a red baseball cap waved his hand and rode a smaller Lapras in front of Nanfang.

"Is this your teammate too? He doesn't look old enough to participate in the college competition."

Long Kong asked doubtfully.

"No, he's just a junior I met before. But don't be fooled by his young age, he is actually an excellent trainer."

"But the point is, how did you get here?"

Nan Fang looked at Xiao Rui again.

"Um, what's wrong? It's just that half a month ago I planned to challenge a gym located on the coast. After I succeeded, I thought that it was my first time in the sea, so I simply found a sea chart and wanted to take a walk near the sea."

"Then, by chance, I saw my Lapras being caught and dragged ashore by some people."

"I remember that Lapras is actually a Pokémon that humans are prohibited from illegally capturing, so I saved it."

"After that, I successfully tamed this Lapras! Then it carried me on its back and started traveling across the sea or between small islands!"

"Then yesterday, when we were traveling, my Laplace seemed to hear some sound, and we followed the sound and found Laplace's tribe!"

Xiao Rui excitedly recounted his experiences over the past few days, not noticing Nan Fang's increasingly dark face.

What kind of luck is this? Can he swim to the dragon's lair? Is Xiao Rui really the chosen one?

"Oh, this is its tribe! I wanted my Laplace to reunite with its tribe and live freely again. But my Laplace has decided to go on an adventure with me!"

"Now, they are planning to take me back to land. I didn't expect to meet you here, Brother Nan!"

"He must have entered the dragon's lair by mistake through another entrance. I haven't met such a person in many years. Boy, the fact that you have been recognized by Laplace proves that you are still extraordinary."

Long Kong crossed his arms and nodded.

"Dragon's lair? What dragon's lair?"

"Brother Nan, are you guys on a mission? Can I help you? "

Xiao Rui widened his starry eyes.
