An abstract trainer who taught Charmander the Incinerate move

Chapter 6 Dream Energy
After witnessing the magical effects of the Dream Theater, Mo Zhen's inspiration flowed like a spring, and his thoughts soared. He had already arranged the plot for the tenth or even the ninth act!

Just as this spirited eighth-generation director was full of enthusiasm and eager to get started, his beloved cinematographer inadvertently poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"Huh? That scene just now used up all your stored energy, and you need to replenish it?"

[Uh...it's true...that's indeed the case...cough cough, this kind of amazing ability definitely comes at a price...]

Hearing the other party's hesitant and embarrassed explanation, Mo Zhen didn't care at all, and a calm smile appeared on her lips.

"I'm not trying to be mean, but do you really need to report this stupid thing to me? The camera's out of power, just go charge it. Do I have to find you a socket myself?"

Seeing Mo Zhen's kind smile, Xiao Mengzi immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

To avoid being cheated by Mo Zhen using AC power to boost its Special Defense Effort Values, it quickly explained.

【My lord! Our cameras don't use electricity, they use 【dream energy】! It makes perfect sense to use dream-specific energy to shoot movies in dreams!】

Mo Zhen's eyes revealed a hint of care for the mentally challenged, and she slowly began to explain basic common sense to him.

“You’re right, but film is essentially an art form that uses electricity to power cameras and projectors to create the visual effect of motion by continuously shooting and projecting still images…”

Sensing Mo Zhen's fundamentalist obsession with "electric power," Xiao Mengzi finally realized that she seemed to be doomed...

Fortunately, Mo Zhen scanned the cabin and found no tools that could generate alternating current.

This led him to settle for second best and speak to his camera in a friendly manner.

"Okay, tell me how to replenish dream energy. Is it through dreaming? If you can't sleep, I have a way to help you fall asleep quickly!"

Faced with Mo Zhen's words, each one laced with hidden meaning, Xiao Mengzi felt the pressure of serving a powerful ruler.

[It's not a dream, how should I put it... you should be able to sense that this Pokémon world is somewhat different from the Pokémon world you knew before, and that's precisely why you've descended into this world... This world has undergone a massive distortion, and my power has dissipated in the process, but as long as I can restore this world to its original state, I can regain my lost power...]

Listening to the other party's rambling lines, Mo Zhen impatiently pressed the Skip button.

"Stop with the nonsense. Do you think I don't know this old trick? Nobody knows games better than me! All that talk is about finding a few NPCs, doing quests, and getting gold!"

Seeing that Mo Zhen seemed to have roughly understood her intentions, Xiao Mengzi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right. As long as we fulfill other people's dreams, guide the world towards the beautiful direction they envision, and restore it to its original state as the Pokémon world was, I will receive feedback, absorb Mew Energy, and return to its original state...

However, before Xiaomengzi could even catch her breath, Mozhen immediately exclaimed excitedly.

"Very good! We just helped a lonely, mutated little fire dragon realize its dream. You must have collected a lot of dream energy by now, right?"

Mo Zhen truly lived up to his reputation as a highly skilled player with a keen sense of smell. In just a moment, he discovered the game's loophole and developed a perpetual motion machine-like gameplay where the left foot steps on the right foot to spiral upwards.

Faced with Mo Zhen's cunning bug-exploiting behavior, Xiao Mengzi retorted righteously.

[That doesn't count! It had virtually no impact on the original main storyline of this world. The timeline didn't change much, and the energy I collected wasn't even as much as what I put in...]

After failing to exploit the bug, Mo Zhen became furious, put her hands on her hips, and leaned down to question him.

"How could that be? You must have collected a lot of energy. Are you trying to secretly pocket it? Are you planning to hide energy on your back?"

"Big brother, who are you talking to?"

As Mo Zhen was trying to exploit a bug, a soft, sweet voice suddenly drifted from behind her.

Mo Zhen turned his head in the direction of the sound and saw a pair of bright, energetic eyes staring intently at him.

Yes, very innocent eyes, has the potential to work in a state-owned enterprise.

Mingyi had woken up at some point and was chewing on bread that she had taken out from somewhere, seemingly unaware of our great Dream God.

Mo Zhen glanced casually at the pink trash floating above his head. He could guess without being tortured that this thing must have a setting that only he could see.

Hmph, as expected, it's a manifestation of my divine power; mortals cannot look directly at it...

At the same time, Xiaomengzi looked at Mingyi and excitedly shouted.

"My lord! This is a golden opportunity. She is a crucial figure in the Unova region. If we can turn the tide and get her back on the right track to become a Trainer, this world will be a better place..."

Although he wasn't particularly interested in figuring out trivial matters, Mo Zhen had already realized that as long as he guided the original main characters in the game onto the right track, he could continuously extract cheat abilities from this pink-haired trash with questionable origins.

Looking into Mingyi's innocent eyes, Mo Zhen didn't hesitate and blurted out.

"Hehe, little sister, I'm an artist. I was just working on a script. A good artist often needs to put themselves in the role and refine the script..."

Still with her bright, energetic eyes, Mingyi pulled out a piece of bread from a magical place and said to Mozhen.

"Oh, would you like some bread?"

Looking at the shrunken panel on the other end, Mo Zhen hesitated for a moment before taking the bread.

While munching on the milky bread, Mo Zhen revealed a mentor-like look in his eyes and asked seriously.

"So... little sister, do you have a dream?"

Without much preamble, Mo Zhen started with zero frames and immediately got into the main quest.

Mo Zhen Grand Stage, come if you have a dream.

Smack, smack...

After a long period of contemplation, including finishing a loaf of bread, Mingyi finally gave her answer.

"I want to...make bread." Upon hearing this heartfelt answer, the two mentors looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

She seems like a nice girl, but unfortunately, all she thinks about is bread.

But I have to say... the bread smelled so good, so milky!
"Huh, making bread? Can that really be called a dream?"

A stylishly dressed, dark-skinned boy suddenly barged between the two, his eyebrows raised high, a disdainful smile playing on his lips, exuding an air of arrogance.

Upon seeing the other person's appearance, Mo Zhen couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Holy crap, there are dogs on the boat!"

Upon hearing this, the dark-skinned boy was startled and quickly gripped the Poké Ball, looking around in a panic.

"Huh? Where's the dog? There's no dog anywhere!"

The creature before us is named Goh, an original character from the Pokémon TV series.

However, due to his unrestrained elf-raising methods and carefree and genuine personality in the story, he was widely discussed by the audience and was thus given the name "Dog Hao".

To be honest, Mo Zhen didn't have any particular prejudice against him.

Because he doesn't watch TV.

In his view, wasting time watching such trashy programs would only hinder his lofty pursuit of art.

However, he kept seeing people discussing this guy in various comment sections, so he had a slight impression of this dark-skinned guy.

Adhering to the gamer's instinct of checking for exclamation marks above NPCs' heads, Mo Zhen spread his hands, his tone slightly teasing.

"So... young man, what are your grand dreams?"

Upon hearing someone ask about his dream, Xiao Hao immediately straightened his back, his eyes sparkling with confidence.

"Heh heh, I'm not afraid to tell you, but my dream is to capture the legendary Pokémon... Mew!"

[Pfft—Daydreaming, fantasizing, wishful thinking—absolutely impossible!]

Before Mo Zhen could speak, Xiao Mengzi had already made a sharp comment.

Seeing the other party's cat-like hissing reaction, Mo Zhen slapped the other party to calm them down.

"What the hell are you getting so worked up about? Stop jumping around on my head!"

Mew, a well-known succubus-type Pokémon, is basically loved by everyone. Once you catch a glimpse of it, no one can resist the urge to release it.

Although everyone wants to capture it, no one has ever succeeded. It is the legend of the succubus in the Pokémon world, attracting generations of trainers to try their luck.

Mo Zhen stroked her chin, a sly glint in her eyes, her tone full of self-righteousness.

"Hmph, no need for your nonsense. I know this loser's dream is pure fantasy. A spirit as extraordinary as Dream... is destined to become my hardworking slave!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaomengzi's expression became quite varied, and she stammered out a reply.

【Ah... uh... what Lord Mo Zhen said... is probably, perhaps, right?】

Looking at Mo Zhen talking to himself in the air, Gouhao puffed out his chest, his eyes full of disdain and arrogance.

"What are you muttering about? Are you so shocked by my dream that you're babbling incoherently? Haha, that's the difference between people! My dream is something that ordinary people like you can't even dream of!"

Mingyi maintained her blank expression, like a delicate porcelain doll, completely baffled as to what the dark-skinned boy in front of her was showing off.

Mo Zhen looked at her innocent face and thought she was easy to fool...

No, it was like a rough gem, a child who could be taught, so I took every opportunity to guide him.

"Little sister, are you interested in becoming a Pokémon Trainer? It's much more interesting than baking bread, and you can see a much wider world!"

Before Mo Zhen could reply, the graceful middle-aged woman beside Mingyi sighed softly, her eyes revealing a mixture of helplessness and anticipation.

"Becoming a trainer is too far-fetched for our child. His father passed away early, and we came to Unova hoping to find a good family to settle down with and live a peaceful life..."

As she spoke, Mingyi's mother gave Mo Zhen a deep look, revealing a hint of appreciation.

To this simple housewife, the handsome young man in the red suit who was eloquent and had a promising future seemed very promising.

[Oh! It's here! It's here! This feeling... Ughh ...

Seeing the exaggerated expression on Xiaomengzi's face, Mo Zhen was somewhat surprised. Was Purple Mood working its magic?!
"Hey, although I know my language skills are second to none, it's a bit abrupt that I managed to get that little girl to become a trainer with just a few words..."

Xiao Mengzi, who was completely filled with dream energy, hesitated for a moment and said with a troubled expression.

[No, actually, Mingyi's mom thought you might become her son-in-law, but it's unlikely you'd actually become her son-in-law, so it seems like she created a bug that allowed Mingyi to successfully escape the timeline where he becomes a housewife in the United States, giving us a positive feedback loop from the timeline change...]

"..."

For a moment, even Mo Zhen didn't know how to comment on this insane logic.

However, he didn't have time to dwell on this nonsense. Instead, he grabbed Xiaomengzi's chubby face and said solemnly.

"In short, you're fully charged now, right? So, next, I'll unleash my profound power..."
