Pokémon, but cultural invasion

Unless... calm calculations can guarantee that programming will never be wrong, and that it will be absolutely correct from the very first line of code.

Thinking hard.

But since it has already happened, instead of getting caught up in the details and trying to figure out what it all came about, we should just enjoy it for now.

With that thought, Quanshu felt relieved.

Regardless of the other party's motives, you must eventually confront them.

Cherish every moment before the showdown.

He and the Polygon Beast are expected to assemble the finished product within a day.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Unexpected Gain

"Don't touch the socket."

"Bui——"

Izumi's words caused Eevee to pause slightly in her movements. She jumped off the table and leaned against the window to admire the moon.

Why is this guy so energetic at night?

Quanshu yawned and dragged the art materials sent by Ache into the program.

Late at night, the moon was bright and the stars were few outside the window.

The wind had stopped at some point, as if silencing the croaking of frogs and chirping of insects, and a heavy silence pressed down upon us.

"Finish."

With the help of the multiverse, Izumi finished her work in four hours.

We'll test it tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we can use it to shut Qishu up.

Suddenly, Ibrahimovic's perked-up ears twitched.

A tiny flame lit up the darkness.

The next second, a deafening explosion swept in, making people's eardrums ache.

"what's the situation?"

As Quan Shu looked out the window, the night sky was instantly dyed red by the towering flames.

"Team Rocket from Red City and Goldenrod City are fighting?"

That's not right either. At that time, the Rockets probably hadn't even collected all three legendary birds.

The flames went out in an instant, then lit up again.

The explosions grew closer and closer, showing no signs of stopping.

"Are there people fighting outside?" Startled awake, Lanxing hurriedly went downstairs.

"I guess it's..."

Trainers who engage in wild battles are unlikely to disturb the peace at night; they're probably not friendly.

Lanxing opened the door and let the frightened Pokémon into the hall, where she comforted them.

"I'll go check it out with Polygon."

Quanshu put on his trench coat. The two fighters were getting closer, and those inside the house were completely in the dark.

"Then... be careful." Lan Xing hesitated before speaking.

"Ibrahimovic, let's go."

A multifaceted beast floats on its shoulder, and the spring tree steps into the night.

Two black crows were perched on a withered tree at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Gah-"

The raven stretched out its wings and pointed southeast.

"Can you show me the way?"

"Gah!"

The ravens flapped their wings and took flight, with the spring tree following behind.

......

On a dirt road through the woods, a modified off-road vehicle sped along, bumping along. The three people inside were wearing hoodies and windbreakers.

Two large black and orange striped dogs galloped along both sides of the road, their flaxen fur flying in the wind, looking majestic.

"Arcanine, Flamethrower!"

A police tricycle gave chase after the car with two dogs. Officer Jenny floored the accelerator and shouted ahead.

Two scorching pillars of fire burst forth, illuminating the forest as bright as day, as if to burn everything in their path.

"Tsk, that's really troublesome."

The SUV driver slammed his fist on the steering wheel, and the Black Luggage in the back seat roared to the sky.

The high-temperature torrent that was about to engulf the off-road vehicle was twisted and absorbed into the body of Houndoom by an invisible force.

The three light gray bony ridges on its back flickered with its breath, digesting the raging flames.

"Boss, if we let her keep fighting like this, even Houndoom's 'Flashfire' won't be able to hold up."

The hooded man in the back seat was sweating profusely; he had just tried to touch Ruga's body and burned his fingertips.

Arcanine's Flamethrower isn't so easy to catch.

The hunter in the co-pilot's seat cursed, "I knew no one would put a Dratini in a rural breeding house. It was a trap after all."

Suddenly, the SUV lurched downwards.

"The police have set up tire deflation devices; the tires are about to burst."

The hunter in the driver's seat looked grim and pulled out a Poké Ball.

A screeching sound rang out as the modified wheel rims spun, sending sparks flying.

"boom!"

The out-of-control SUV crashed into a thick tree trunk, with thick black smoke billowing from the hood.

"Armored Bird, let's go!"

"cough cough..."

The two hunters scrambled out, while their leader had already taken to the air aboard an armored bird.

When disaster strikes, everyone flees for their lives. It's the hunters' standard practice, and the two didn't complain. They took out their riding sprites and went their separate ways to escape.

A gleaming armored bird flew overhead, and the ravens ducked and fled.

The belated Quanshu peeked out from the bushes, leaving the scene in a mess.

The police tricycle was parked to the side. Officer Jenny, holding a walkie-talkie, sensed the danger and swiftly drew her gun, aiming it at Izumi.

"Who goes there? Hands up, don't move!"

"I'm an employee of a nearby welfare home. I came to check after hearing the noise."

Izumi raised both hands, indicating that he was not making any move to retrieve a Poké Ball.

"The spring tree at Tingxiang Welfare Home?"

Having set a trap nearby, the police had naturally investigated the surrounding area.

Officer Jenny looked him over carefully and found that he was a bit more handsome in person than in the photos.

"Perfect timing." She lowered her gun.

Quanshu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Having witnessed too much American-style law enforcement in his previous life, he was genuinely afraid that the other party would empty their magazine.

"This is a new trainer who helped us set up an ambush. The training center was bombed, and we hope you can provide us with a place to stay tonight."

"The large number of wild Pokémon on the off-road vehicle will be temporarily housed in the welfare home. Someone will come to take care of them, and the subsequent expenses will be reimbursed by the Goldenrod City Police Department."

Officer Jenny spoke very quickly, rattling off a string of words.

Holding the walkie-talkie, she confirmed the location: "The suspects have split up and are fleeing. I need to guard the east side."

"I understand."

After receiving Izumi's reply, Officer Jenny left in a hurry.

A young girl, pale-faced and retching uncontrollably, was left behind.

She had short reddish-brown hair, wore a green baseball cap, a yellow short-sleeved shirt, and brown shorts, and was holding Nidorino in her arms.

A standard template for a new trainer.

"Hello, I am Izumi."

The girl, leaning against the tree trunk, said with difficulty, "I am Lei'er, from Flowerbud Town, and I am currently traveling with the goal of winning the championship."

Are you injured? Can you still move?

"I'm a little carsick, Ms. Officer Jenny is driving too fast."

Lei'er's eyes were darting around.

Seeing that she was not seriously injured, Quanshu began to check the trunk of the SUV.

Baskets of oddly painted Poké Balls lay scattered about, with many black Poké Balls rolling on the ground.

"The Dark Sphere?"

The black patterns on the sphere were chaotic, but when Izumi held it in his hand and examined it closely, he realized it wasn't.

It's more like some kind of unfinished product.

Bishas's Dark Ball can drive captured Pokémon into a frenzy; I wonder what this unfinished product will be like.

"Are you feeling better from your motion sickness? If you don't mind, could you lend me a hand and help me carry the basket of Poké Balls back to the orphanage?"

"Okay, I'm fine now."

Recovering, Rael rubbed her forehead and directed Nidorino to help carry the load.

Only then did Quanshu realize that the person in front of him looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

Back at the orphanage, he explained the situation to Lanxing.

“Since it’s Officer Jenny’s request from Golden City, there’s nothing wrong with it. After all, she helped the orphanage a lot when tracking adoptions.”

"I suspect there's something wrong with the dark Poké Ball. Let's release it first."

Izumi tried to open a Poké Ball.

A flash of white light, and the little wild boar appeared on the grassland.

It trembled and curled up in a ball when it saw people.

Izumi broke the Poké Ball in half and said, "Don't be afraid, the poachers have been driven away, and someone will take you home."

The little boar remained wary as it watched the Poké Ball turn into scrap metal.

“Pokémon that have experienced poaching are very wary of humans, so it’s better to let other Pokémon step in.”

Lanxing waved, signaling for Luluca to come over.

A large group of Oddish grass gathered around and started talking to the little wild boar.

After some sweet talk, the little wild boar's hostility towards them noticeably lessened.

Boar is a Pokémon from the Sinnoh region, and these poachers have a pretty wide range of operations.

So... looking at the three baskets full of Poké Balls, it's like a blind box!

He rescued the poor Pokémon one by one.

Trapinch-ant, Cocodora, Gothic Baby, Candlelight, Curly-ear...
