Pokémon: Legendary Pokémon Simulator, Starting with Arceus

"God will always provide a way, and there will also be occasional good fortune. For example, if a very capable person persists in doing good deeds, then many people will definitely have their lives changed."

"Little Silver, what you're doing right now seems really stupid to me, incredibly stupid."

The sudden change of topic caught Xiao Yin off guard, and her first thought was to retort, "I..."

"Then let me ask you, do you know anything about the Rockets' lower-ranked members? Do you understand them? If there really was hope, why would they join the Rockets? Do you know?"

"Let me tell you, you won't go hungry if you join, you'll get a monthly stipend, and you can even train at the Rockets Academy. And if you want to leave later, no one will stop you."

"Here, they can see hope—the hope of surviving and a bright future."

What is the Pokémon world like? A beautiful, utopian world, a world that you've always dreamed of, where resources and everything are plentiful.

Perhaps so. He thought the same thing more than half a year ago, emphasizing the importance of obeying the law in his hometown.

A vacation in the water city evokes fond memories of anime...

But is reality really like this? Stray Pokémon in big cities, homeless people who can only exist but see no future, people who gamble in the wild for a fleeting hope...

There are always many children, most people can only learn by hiking, schools that ordinary people can never attend, and professional training methods that ordinary people will never know...

That's reality.

Only after truly understanding it did he realize that the world is just a giant makeshift operation, and it wasn't as wonderful as he had imagined.

"Do you understand? As long as you can live well, it doesn't matter whether you're a good person or a bad person."

The hand on Xiao Yin's head was withdrawn, and at the same time, the golden light that enveloped the two of them disappeared.

Xiao Yin was still recalling the scene from earlier: the helpless father, the child who hadn't seen his family in so long.

The news that I had suddenly become an orphan.

Some people are lucky enough to receive help, but many more are forced to choose another way to survive.

But it wasn't all bad; there were good moments too: the deliveryman's smile, the joy of buying something he liked when he received a bonus, and the delight of knowing he got a discount as a member.

Full of confidence, he bought expensive food and items for his Pokémon, worried that Team Rocket's expenses were too high and proposed canceling the subsidy. After being rejected, he worked even harder, and then a new rule appeared:

"What...what kind of feeling is this...? It's so strange..."

Xiao Yin felt that she might be sick, otherwise why would her chest feel so uncomfortable? Joy, sadness and all sorts of emotions were echoing in her chest, and it felt like there was a fire burning inside.

"If the Rockets didn't exist, or if things changed, do you feel like things would be better than they are now?"

"You think you're a mature person, but have you really thought about it? Is it better to spend decades pursuing a vague future, or to cultivate a strong tree?"

"Do you really know, Little Silver?"

The calm words struck the boy's heart like a hammer blow, leaving him speechless and unable to think.

After a moment, the boy still didn't say a word, nor did he move his body.

"Don't overthink it. These are just my thoughts. Just focus on doing your own thing. The biggest difference between people is their way of thinking."

"I still don't understand, but teacher, I want to learn about this."

Xiao Yin's eyes still showed a lot of confusion, but her serious expression could not be ignored.

Xiong Meng smiled and shook his head. "These things aren't suitable for learning on paper, so there are more suitable methods to teach you." "I understand. Can I ask the teacher questions if I have any?"

"Of course, I'm always welcome."

After receiving the reply, Xiao Yin bowed and walked towards the office, knowing that the man must be there.

After the other person disappeared from sight, he took out his phone from his pocket. "Mr. Sakaki, he'll be there in a bit."

It's up to you now.

"You can figure out how to do that project yourself. You don't need to report to me anymore. Also...: Thank you. After hanging up the phone, Xiong Meng breathed a sigh of relief. He had risked exposing his superpowers to transmit his feelings this time. He hoped everything would go smoothly from now on."

In the office, Sakaki put his phone aside and patiently waited for someone to arrive.

I never imagined Dr. Satoshi Ishida had such expertise. No wonder he's so experienced in the market and has such a keen understanding of people's hearts. He must have learned it from his research.

Little Silver... What will you say in a moment? Let me see.

"Kapomi!"

The door opened, and in front of the young man's desk, facing the man with his eyes closed, the events of the moment echoed in his mind, finally settling into a single sentence.

"I want to make this situation a reality, and I hope the Rockets will improve."

"It's unrealistic. These few industries alone have taken up all of Team Rocket's resources, and they haven't even been able to completely conquer two regions in such a long time. What about the rest? What about the elderly? What about the military personnel?"

This was the first time Sakaki had said so much. When was the last time he said something like this? Was it before he became the boss, or when he argued with some of the older members?

Looking at the boy's stubborn expression and his unwillingness to admit defeat, I feel so nostalgic. It seems like he used to be like that too.

Although there weren't such good teachers back then, those predecessors were also quite good.

"The future is difficult, but it's not hopeless. If you want to do it, I'll teach you."

Giovanni's smile remained as confident as ever, for he was the leader of Team Rocket, and also Giovanni of the Earth!

Xiao Yin seemed to be meeting her father for the first time—confident, composed, and fearless.

"I understand. I'll leave the rest to you, Father!"

Little Silver has figured it out: if he wants to do better, he just needs to manage the Rockets well; nothing else matters. By the way, his father seems to be quite handsome now.

At that moment, the conflict between father and son completely disappeared; the dark clouds had dispersed, and the rainbow had appeared.

In the other bedroom, Xiong Meng slumped onto the sofa, took a sip of tea, and said, "Polygon2, print out Mewtwo's information for me. Choose the one from the game you made."

After saying that, he looked at Dreamy, who was watching him curiously, and said, "Half of it is solved. I'm in charge of the whole project now. The other half can only be solved in Pallet Town."

"Mmm~" Well done.

Fly freely and joyfully, then take the two antlers.

"Meow~"

"Forget it, let me take care of everything first. Don't forget about training, and remember to take care of Xiao Lan for me."

"Mmm~" Dreamy patted his chest as he held the animals in his arms.

That very evening, I asked Giovanni if ​​I could return to Pallet Town, but he just told me, "You'll have to figure it out yourself."

"Don't bother me." and hung up the phone.

Oh dear, what a fickle old father!

But that's fine too. The next day, he ran back to Pallet Town and headed straight for Oak's lab.

Looking at the old man in a wheelchair who opened the door, Xiong Mengxin felt a chill, just like the other man's expression.

"Hehe, you must be Dr. Satoshi Ishida. You're so young! Come in."

Looking at the forced smile on the other side, that strange emotion, and the fat penguin that appeared behind them, my heart sank even further.
