Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 225 Crematorium

"What? You want me to give half of my coolant pipe to this thing outside?!"

Inside the cold storage, the AI's screams echoed through the sky.

"Think about it, with it here, it can help you with a lot of tasks, and you can practically take a vacation!"

Natsume tempted her.

On the AI ​​screen, a tiny, angry soybean-shaped head appeared, glaring at Natsume with eyes that seemed to spit fire.

"The temperature control is right here, what if it breaks down!"

The AI ​​roared, and the little soybean figure on the electronic screen disappeared, transforming into a gradually rising temperature indicator.

"Did you see that? The temperature rose by three degrees Celsius before you even finished turning this thing on!"

Upon hearing this, Natsume touched his nose.

The latest version of the laboratory AI has higher heat dissipation requirements than Natsume had anticipated.

It can accommodate almost half as many coolant channels as Dr. Oak's machine!
If not all of them are installed, the performance will be locked at a certain limit.

You know, this is the first time I've turned on the machine I just got!

Natsume was itching to see his AI system operating at full power.

"Well, if he takes over the task for you, you'll have extra computing power to search for her in the data stream, right?"

Natsume suddenly said.

In an instant, the AI ​​that was playing the clapperboard suddenly shut its mouth.

On the screen, a soybean emoji appeared, stroking its chin.

Natsume looked at the other person in silence.

Although it's unclear what "she" is, it's obvious that the AI ​​is quite concerned about that data stream.

Moreover, Natsume had already calculated it.

The AI ​​only needs to disassemble half of the coolant pipes to replenish its own AI.

Although its own AI didn't have a configuration with maximum heat dissipation, it was certainly enough to take over the entire Oak Research project and help analyze the permutations and combinations of those unknown totems.

As for Professor Oak's AI.

Once the other party has no mission and doesn't need to run anything, maintaining normal operation is perfectly sufficient thanks to that half of the heat dissipation.

"Ok."

After hesitating for a moment, the AI ​​actually agreed.

Natsume's curiosity was immediately piqued.

"So who exactly is that 'she'?" Natsume couldn't help but ask.

"Mind your own business with silicon-based things, and don't concern yourself with carbon-based things."

On the electronic screen, a shy soybean emoji appeared.

About two weeks ago, while the AI ​​was browsing the local area network, it discovered a soft, fragrant data stream that suddenly appeared.

However, it was fleeting at that moment, and the AI ​​thought it was just its imagination.

But in the past few days, as the thunderstorms have passed, that fragrant and soft data stream has appeared repeatedly several times.

The AI ​​is captivated by the other's presence, but every time it tries to communicate, the other disappears.

"OK then."

Natsume silently watched as the electronic screen was filled with images of a puppy holding flowers.

It seems the AI ​​is eager to fully commit to finding that data stream.

After transferring half of the coolant channels from the AI ​​to his own AI, Natsume nodded in satisfaction.

The supercomputer's startup will be a bit slow when connecting to a full-scale research institute for the first time.

After glancing at the progress, Natsume clapped his hands.

"Alright, since that's the case, I think the most important thing now is to give you two names."

The image of the puppy holding flowers on the electronic screen froze, and the next moment, a sweet, cloying voice rang out:

"Her name is Xinghuan, and mine is Chenyu. As for this new guy, let's call him Tiezhu."

On the electronic screen, Huang Dou's expression, which had been blushing, suddenly turned cold, and even his tone carried a hint of hostility.

Furthermore, the AI, quick-witted and agile, changed the other party's code nickname to "Iron Pillar" before its permissions were fully transferred to the supercomputer.

Natsume: "." Now that he'd even thought of a couple's name, Natsume was even more eager to know what was sending that data stream.

"You call yourself whatever, but I'll call you number one, and number two."

Natsume pointed to the AI ​​and his own supercomputer respectively.

Although Natsume couldn't understand why the AI ​​would have a territorial sense like an animal, and even instinctively reject its own kind.

But this made Natsume understand even more that the divine authority that fell into Rotom's body might not just represent a simple "machine".

That's too anthropomorphic!
This is just one person!

He's even someone with personality flaws!

Soon, the second one was successfully powered on.

Since Natsume didn't have that electronic screen, Number Two and Number One shared one screen.

However, number two was squeezed into a small corner.

The remaining screen, dominated by Number One, showed a petal in the puppy's arms, with a larger display area than this corner.

Fortunately, the screen is large enough that even in a small corner, it's about the size of a tablet, allowing Natsume to see the words clearly.

Meanwhile, the AI ​​happily began heading to the previous network node and started searching for that data stream.

Judging from the increasingly brisk pace of the puppy carrying flowers on the electronic screen, the other party was in a very good mood.

But soon, the AI ​​changed its mind.

"Wow, it's a Soyuz 7! I remember Professor Oak's is a Soyuz 5!"

Looking at the startup screen, Natsume muttered to himself.

He was somewhat surprised, thinking that there was only a generation between them.

I never imagined it would be two generations!

In an instant, the AI ​​became unhappy.

Visibly, the display area left for the second tablet has shrunk again, becoming the size of a mobile phone, and the text on it has become tiny and barely noticeable.

Seeing this, Natsume's lips twitched, but he didn't pay any attention to it.

Anyway, my AI won't be at Oak's lab for long.

Fortunately, the AI ​​didn't monopolize the microphone access, so Number Two could still communicate.

"Dear Mr. Natsume, this is Alliance Seven at your service."

A sweet female voice rang out, sounding much more pleasant than Number One's mechanical voice.

"Ok?"

Natsume suddenly noticed that the little dog that had been wagging its tail so frequently had suddenly stopped moving.

"Stuck?"

Natsume was puzzled, thinking there was some kind of malfunction. Just as he was about to go over to check, the lag on the screen suddenly returned to normal.

In an instant, a horizontal line was suddenly pulled up.

The pitiful display area of ​​Number Two suddenly began to expand until it was finally divided in half with Number One.

"It's you, the sweet and soft data stream!"

The AI's shocked voice rang out.

The moment it opened the second opening, it retracted back into the laboratory.
Then, the AI ​​discovered that the entire laboratory was filled with fragrant and soft data streams.

The source is this supercomputer that Natsume moved in!
Natsume suddenly realized.

Only then did he realize that the fragrant and soft data stream the AI ​​was talking about was probably emitted by his own supercomputer during the previous test.

"Hi, beautiful lady, I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you earlier."

However, Number Two has yet to respond.

"Oh no, does she hate me?"

On the electronic screen, the area belonging to the AI ​​began to change rapidly.

A puppy holding flowers, a puppy in a suit, a puppy in a wedding dress
Countless styles are constantly switching.

Seeing that the other person seemed to have suffered a stroke, Natsume tapped the screen:

"What are you trying to do? I haven't even communicated with her through spirit mediums, how can she respond to you?"
