Crossover Anime: This is not pure love at all

Main world, Kuroe Minoru's bedroom.

When Kuroe Minoru stepped onto his own floor again, he turned to look at the clock on the wall.

"It really has only been two hours..."

It was already 1 a.m. in the real world.

But it's not a big problem!

He was already used to staying up late.

Minoru Kuroe sat down at his desk, plugged in his laptop, and then opened "Shōsetsuka ni Narō" (Let's Become a Novelist), currently Japan's largest light novel serialization website.

Then register an account.

Pen name: [The Black River is Honest].

Title: Pokémon.

Okay, next is to upload the first draft.

Although uploading in the early morning will affect data usage, Heijiang doesn't really care; good wine needs no bush.

As the world's number one IP in his previous life, coupled with his writing expertise.

He has great confidence in this novel.

Without hesitation, Kuroe uploaded the first 30,000 words of the manuscript, divided into 15 chapters.

"Done."

After doing all this, Kuroe Minoru clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"Let's let the bullets fly for a while."

……

at the same time.

Inside a luxury apartment in Tokyo.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was wearing a loose black silk nightgown, lying on the bed without any regard for her image, her two long, fair legs swinging idly in the air.

Can't sleep.

Ever since the terrifying hypnotic experience she had at the book signing a few days ago, and the subsequent rescue by that mysterious young man, she had been feeling somewhat uneasy.

Although the police arrived later and took away the fat man who had been beaten so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

But the image of that boy seemed to have taken root in her mind, and she couldn't shake it off.

"Sigh... I have absolutely no inspiration..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha scratched her long, smooth black hair in frustration, looked at the latest volume document on her laptop that had been stuck for two days, and let out a desperate sigh.

She's been deleting and revising for the past two days, and she's only managed to write one chapter so far.

No matter what she tried, she couldn't write the feeling she wanted to express. Unfortunately, she even deleted the outline she had written in a moment of impulse.

The girl's current state is commonly referred to as—getting stuck.

"Sigh, never mind, I'll go check the websites to see if there are any interesting new books to find inspiration."

Shiyu skillfully opened the "Become a Novelist" webpage and clicked on the latest additions to the ranking list.

The screen is filled with the same old toilet paper titles like "Reincarnated into Another World as an Overpowered Protagonist" and "After Leaving the Team, I Became an Invincible Magician".

As expected, it's either isekai (another world) or the "leaving the party" trope. Light novels are hopeless.

Shi Yu scrolled the mouse wheel listlessly, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Just as she was about to close the webpage and go to sleep, a rather unusual book title suddenly caught her eye.

Pokémon?

The cover photo looks like a casual snapshot, featuring a chubby, yellowish-brown bird with big eyes. It looks like it's been digitally composited, but it's clearly not that realistic.

"Elves? Pokémon? What are those? Some kind of novel monster concept?"

Shi Yu raised her pretty eyebrows and glanced at the introduction.

"Blank? It's been serialized for 30,000 words, but the synopsis is blank?"

Shiyu immediately became interested.

Those who do this are usually either newbies or experienced authors who have started a new book and are so focused on writing that they forget to write a synopsis.

interesting!

With a scrutinizing and critical mindset, Kasumigaoka Utaha clicked on the first chapter.

"Beast Taming Style?"

As she watched, a hint of understanding flashed in Kasumigaoka Utaha's wine-red eyes.

"Summoning monsters called 'Pokémon' to fight? Judging from this opening, it should be a world centered around summon battles."

"Although the 'beast taming' theme isn't exactly new, there are already tons of similar things on the market..."

As a professional light novel author, Shiyu had only read the beginning of the book before she began to guess the general plot.

She originally thought this was just another generic, entertaining novel that relied on summoning various flashy magical beasts to attract attention.

However, as she read on, the scrutiny on her face gradually hardened.

"what?"

Shi Yu sat up slightly.

"This setting... is pretty interesting."

She originally thought that these monsters called "Pokémon" were simply tools for fighting.

However, the author devoted a lot of space to describing the bond between the protagonist Red and his initial partners Poliwag and Bulbasaur, a bond that is not one of master and servant, but of partners fighting side by side.

Moreover, what impressed Shiyu the most was the combat system of this world.

Each Pokémon has a unique type: Normal, Grass, Fire, Water, Ice, Psychic... These types are mutually exclusive and have strengths and weaknesses against each other.

While other beast-taming styles also have attribute advantages and disadvantages, they typically only have five or six common attributes.

In this novel, Pokémon have a whopping 18 types! And most Pokémon can possess two types at the same time!

This makes the chain of restraints even more complicated!

This makes battles no longer a simple numerical crushing contest, but full of strategy and wit!

Add to that evolution, and the bond between trainers and Pokémon... plus the author's detailed descriptions of each Pokémon, unlike other web novels that just gloss over them...

"hiss……"

Shi Yu gasped.

In just over ten chapters, she saw countless futures within this novel!

This novel was definitely conceived by the author for a long time before he started writing it!

Shiyu unconsciously tightened her grip on the mouse.

She originally just wanted to browse around to pass the time and find some inspiration.

But now, she finds herself completely absorbed in it and can't stop!

"This author... is definitely a master!"

The opponent's control over the rhythm of the battle and the creation of suspense were simply masterful.

Whenever Red is in dire straits and on the verge of losing the match, the author always manages to pull off a stunning comeback through a clever tactic or a Pokémon's growth!

Even a girl like Shiyu, with a traditional literary background, felt her blood boil with excitement.

"No... this is not just as simple as the Beast Taming style."

Shiyu keenly sensed that beneath those exciting battle scenes, there seemed to be an even grander main storyline hidden.

The mysterious criminal organization "Team Rocket," and the Pokémon that were cruelly treated and illegally modified...

"The interplay of light and darkness..."

"This author has big ambitions."

Shi Yu's eyes were filled with keen interest and appreciation.

Before she knew it, she had finished reading all fifteen chapters that had been released.

"That's it?"

When Shi Yu subconsciously tried to click on the next chapter, she found that the page had already reached the end of the latest update.

"How could this be... We were just reaching the climax! Red just infiltrated Team Rocket's secret base at Mt. Tsukimi..."

Shi Yu stared at the screen, still feeling unsatisfied, a sense of discomfort like being scratched by a cat welling up inside her.

She now understands her readers' feelings about suddenly experiencing writer's block when she's writing the climax of a story at the end of a volume.

So uncomfortable!

"Who exactly is this 'Black River is Honest'?"

Shi Yu bit her lower lip and, as if possessed, clicked on the author's homepage.

The author information is completely blank; apart from this one book, "Pokémon," there are no other works or any introductions.

An unknown newcomer.

Yet this very newcomer has managed to create such a fantastical world.
