Pokémon, but cultural invasion

Quanshu breathed a sigh of relief; his blood pressure had risen considerably from the auditions he had been doing these past two days.

Having a group of relatively inexperienced actors wear suits to film action scenes resulted in childish, playful movements devoid of any real power.

Nobuhiko was the type to act faster than he spoke; at his signal, his two apprentices donned monster costumes.

Those who have specifically trained their bodies are truly different.

Golza and Melba's movements became visibly fluid and agile.

"Alright, it's my turn to go on stage."

Nobuhiko put on the exquisite leather suit with its red and blue color scheme and an energy indicator light embedded in the center of his chest.

"Drink!"

He roared, clenched his left fist, held a knife in his right hand, and slightly bent his knees, guarding the area ahead.

He grasps the movements so quickly... Izumi just showed him the picture book, probably because of Nobuhiko's excellent muscle control.

The two monsters facing him were so frightened they nearly collapsed to the ground.

"Master's hand chop, is it real?"

"If they fall, without a doubt, they will die!"

Chapter 83 Daigo Becomes Light

"Hey, Mr. Nobuhiko has a really good physique."

A-Che was very satisfied with his height, shoulder width, and physique. People with a weak physique and insufficient shoulder width could not make the suit look full.

Nobuhiko's well-trained physique was a perfect fit.

"OK, Brother Xinyan, can you try a few moves? I'm rooting for you!"

A-Che shouted excitedly from outside the venue.

He had read part of the Ultraman Tiga script and had a basic understanding of Tiga's charm. How could he not be excited to witness the birth of art firsthand?

Nobuhiko nodded slightly.

Asheng and Xiaodian, who were facing him, felt a chill run down their spines. Even though their master had said he would hold back, they couldn't help but feel nervous after seeing him split solid rocks with his bare hands.

Ah Sheng whispered, "I've had some medication, so my muscles are tough. Please go easy on me, Master."

"Get out!"

He gets very angry whenever this topic is brought up.

"Come!"

Nobuhiko took a step forward, and the two of them instinctively assumed a defensive stance.

"Bang bang bang!"

Sand flew up from beneath his feet, and the sounds of heavy, visceral punches rang out as Nobuhiko burst between the two, taking on both of them single-handedly.

"Okay, okay, this is exactly what I want to film!"

As Ah Che listened to the screech of the suit tearing through the air and the muffled sounds of flesh colliding, he realized that this was what fighting was all about.

As long as the movements are slowed down in advance, the two monsters are not so cowardly, and some special sound effects are added, the performance effect will be absolutely explosive.

"All three of them are fine, let's sign the contract and start filming quickly."

A-Che urged Quan-Shu.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you in a bit."

Quanshu took out the contract he had prepared in advance.

A few minutes later, Asheng and Xiaodian, who had half-removed their protective suits, grimaced as they touched the red spots on their arms. What happened to the promise to hold back?

They dared not speak out against their anger when they saw the pay in the contract.

"what?"

The two of them turned around and looked at their master.

I thought it was just a chore, but I never expected to be struck by wealth.

"master!"

They signed the contract, too moved to speak.

"If you take someone's money, you should do your best to get things done."

Nobuhiko added a few words.

He knew that a mere costume actor wouldn't be worth that price; the other party was only paying him a high salary because of him.

If someone accepts your food, you're bound to be obligated to help them; it'll be harder to refuse if they ask for a favor later.

Even the most dedicated martial artist will struggle to make ends meet, and running a dojo is not a guaranteed way to make money.

Nobuhiko sighed.

With about a hundred men under his command, it was impossible for him to completely retreat into the mountains to cultivate in seclusion.

Perhaps he was too preoccupied with mundane matters to beat Sabrina?

Even Master Si has his own disciples and relatives, so he can't break free.

The exceptionally talented and single-mindedly focused Nobuhiko only knew about Ayako, who was far away in the Galar region.

......

On the other side of the film crew.

Sami is doing makeup on the GUTS team members.

"director..."

Upon seeing Quanshu enter, the six actors sitting at the base all stood up.

He personally auditioned all six actors; they were all skilled performers whose acting abilities were up to par and whose appearances resembled the original cast members after makeup.

If Tingxiang's first film hadn't been such a huge success, he wouldn't have been able to recruit this group of people.

"How are you preparing?"

"Everything is settled, except..."

The team members all looked at Daigo, who was sitting there dumbfounded.

The actors' careers are neither long nor short, and they have never encountered a situation where they have to act opposite a monster.

That calm, expressionless face and deep pupils had an indescribable strangeness about them.

"Just treat Ditto as me, don't be so reserved."

Miyajima Minami put her arm around Daigo's shoulder and said cheerfully, "My Ditto is born for the entertainment industry."

"Who would believe you!" the team members thought to themselves.

Regardless of their thoughts, the first shoot began with multiple cameras positioned in different locations.

...

"So this is the meteorite?"

At the Victory Team base, the extraterrestrial meteorite is being examined by various instruments.

"It looks like there's something wrapped inside?"

Nanase Rena looked around at the meteorite.

Daigo, standing beside her, leaned down to examine her intently and with a look of confusion.

Haruka, who plays Rena, felt a jolt in her heart; Ditto seemed different now.

Its expression, eyes, and movements instantly came to life, as if there was a living person next to you.

"This is not a natural meteorite; it's man-made."

As the laser cuts through the dark outer shell, the silvery-white cone-shaped object inside is revealed.

The base lights went out in an instant, and the cone-shaped object began projecting a video into the air.

A woman with white hair and clothing very different from modern styles appears in the video; her lips move as if she is saying something.

"Maybe it can be translated using a voice translator."

Horii called out to Nozue, and the computer received the sound waves, translated them, and transmitted the sound in real time.

"Everyone, I am Yu Lian, the captain of the Beast Defense Force. The arrival of this time machine on Earth means that many great changes will take place on Earth."

"The first signs were the arrival of the earth-shaking beast Golza and the sky-cracking beast Melba. Only the giants in the pyramids could protect the earth from the disaster of the anomalies."

"That giant was once the protector of the earth. He hid his body, which he used for fighting, in a huge pyramid, then returned to the form of light and went back to his homeland."

...

"There is only one way to revive the giants, and that is to let—Zzz!"

At the critical moment, the footage abruptly stopped as the base's power supply was restored.

"Dr. Kenmura, do you think the information is true?" Captain Megumi asked.

"This time machine is modeled after a comet in the solar system, which seems too outrageous."

Daigo anxiously retorted to Kenmura, "It's true! She said Golza would appear, and she was right!"

"That doesn't necessarily mean it's the monster Golza."

Vice Captain Zong Fang appeared very calm.

Kenmura laughed and said, "Team Member Daigo, if you believe in this time machine, it means you acknowledge that there was a civilization more advanced than ours in the past."

Upon hearing this, Daigo was speechless.

He lowered his eyes, his gaze wandering as if he were struggling with something, then looked up again, but ultimately said nothing.

"Crack!"

Quanshu stopped filming.

The footage of Yuzare and Rei talking was added in post-production, so they were actually talking to thin air just now.

However, everyone performed very well without making any mistakes.

"One take."

The first shot was successfully completed, which was very encouraging news.

The Victory team members relaxed, and Haruka asked in surprise, "Did you guys notice? Daigo came alive when filming started!"

The wording is very strange, but it perfectly captures Haruka's strongest feeling.

His expression suddenly came to life, as if the fictional character Daigo had gained a soul.

"I didn't expect that Ditto, who I was most worried about making a mistake, would be the best actor. I really underestimated you before."

The Ditto, feeling smug after being praised by everyone, let its carefully maintained appearance go limp.

"I go!"

Horii watched as Daigo's facial features slipped off like a mask, and he cursed in fright.

"Hey, hey, hold on!"

Miyajima Minami held Daigo's face and put the mask back on, saying, "Really, this happens as soon as you let your guard down."

Izumi stroked his chin, it seemed that Daigo would have a hard time holding a fan meeting.

If your whole face melts during a handshake, that's an accident.

Chapter 84 Gratitude

"Lift it this way!"

Guangtai directed the hyperactive apes to move three life-size stone statues into the stadium.
