Pokémon, but cultural invasion

"You knocked it out?" Lan Xing asked in astonishment.

"I simply chose the most efficient method: early treatment leads to early recovery."

Quanshu picked up Pidgey and said, "Give me a hand, hold its wings steady, and help me carry it back to the infirmary."

Chapter Ten: The Oldest PV Fraud

Lanxing took a mixture of sleeping powder and a small amount of paralysis powder and gently applied it to Pidgey's mouth and nose.

"After dilution, sesame juice can have a calming and analgesic effect."

Quanshu stared with interest at the pale purple, viscous liquid in the medicine bottle and asked, "You know this trick too?"

Didn't your grandfather teach you that?

She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and rolled up her sleeves, vigorously scratching the Pidgey's wings.

"Crack!"

With a crisp snap, Pidgey's wings were put back in place.

"After applying numbing paste, the excruciating pain of bone realignment will not wake it up."

Lanxing carefully gave Pidgey a full-body check-up. Apart from some scratches on its body, it was otherwise healthy.

"Sesame paste... Of course I know, it's for collecting the powder scattered by Oddish, right?"

Quanshu racked his brains and finally managed to glean a fragment from his long-forgotten memories.

Before becoming the director of the welfare home, my grandfather was a barefoot doctor and knew many folk remedies.

These folk remedies do not rely on industrial products; they are made purely from natural ingredients found in Pokémon.

Lanxing selected bamboo planks of suitable size and used them, along with bandages, to fix the broken bone in Pidgey.

After confirming that the tightness of the cloth did not compress blood circulation, the initial treatment of Pidgey was completed.

"Pidgey's fracture is not complicated. In addition, Pokémon have strong self-healing abilities, so there is no need to worry about bone deformities after treatment."

A satisfied smile graced Lanxing's face, and the moonlight cast a crescent of shattered stars in her eyes.

She placed the food on the table in the infirmary.

"By the way, a couple wants to adopt an elf tomorrow at noon."

Quanshu wondered, "I didn't receive any reservation notification on my computer?"

"Sometimes customers will ask questions on the navigator."

Lanxing took out her phone. "Speaking of which, we haven't added each other as friends yet..."

After adding her as a friend, she went up to the attic.

"It's getting late, go to sleep early."

Quanshu looked at the message sent by the Dean on the screen and typed a reply.

Goodnight, you too.

Even though the two of them were only separated by a wooden board, it always felt awkward not to send something after adding each other as friends.

This guy doesn't seem to be the type who uses emojis, Izumi thought to herself.

His attention returned to the new game.

To resolve the navigator's login interface issue, Quanshu needs someone who can help him get to the negotiating table.

Naturally, he thought of the strange tree.

After all, Qishu is the only League Gym Leader whose game has intersected with his.

The dojo master has a very high social status, second only to the Tenno.

Although subject to the supervision of the inspectors, unless you misbehave at the dojo—see Cerulean Dojo for details—the inspectors generally won't interfere.

How to connect with Qishu has become a new problem.

He opened the live streaming platform, and due to the viral success of the video clip, the "DianDian Live Streamer" had once again topped the homepage.

There were also many live streams of digging for life in the gaming section.

"Capture your eyeballs with an electric grid!"

Despite staying up all night, Qi Shu was still full of energy, striking a pose with his sleeves raised in the live stream.

Seemingly because the previous live stream went well, she chose to stream Getting Over It again tonight.

The strange tree on the screen, following the footsteps of the little rock, sometimes laughed, sometimes felt frustrated, and sometimes felt excited, enjoying itself endlessly as it fell down again and again.

The barrage of comments is so intense that it can overwhelm the entire screen if no specific area is designated.

"She seems to really enjoy these kinds of challenging games?"

The spring tree seemed lost in thought.

The smile on her little face didn't seem like an act; it seemed more like a genuine expression of emotion.

Gradually, he had an idea.

Game promotional videos are not very common in this world; most games don't even have a dedicated promotional video.

Therefore, the promotional PV for this major title is quite honest, basically consisting of recorded gameplay footage.

What you see is what you get.

Large-scale games like Izumi no Kizuki are currently out of the question, but promotional PVs are a piece of cake.

With TuTuDog providing the original artwork and the generated Porygon model, and Quanshu overseeing the overall project, creating the PV was a piece of cake.

What he wants to make is not a PV, but an animation with extremely high precision!

To cater to her tastes, since Qishu liked challenging games, he served her a bowl of Soul-type items to test its flavor.

The Elden Slate

"The first life was born from the seven-colored horn atop Xerneas's head. The energy supporting the horn came from a magic ring composed of several elemental stone tablets, until one day a golden meteor fell in..."

I picked up my pen and started writing the copy.

"Jiejiejie..."

The spring tree let out a sinister laugh.

By layering a UI over an animation, how could a native who hasn't experienced the era of grand promises and frequent delays possibly see the clues?

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ms. Kiki will experience her first ever PV fraud, and the first of its kind in the world.

It is commonly known as "drawing a cake" (or "drawing a picture of a cake").

......

The next morning, Izumi, who had spent the whole night grinding PVs, sat listlessly by the window, observing the little ones at the orphanage.

When making a movie, casting is necessary, and these past few days he's been thinking about which individuals have a strong desire to perform whenever he has a spare moment.

However, we'll have to see how the little ones react to the camera when A-Che comes to take a group photo.

Among the small Pokémon frolicking on the lawn at this moment, Eevee stands out the most.

This guy quickly became friends with the Pokémon at the orphanage, and now he's showing signs of becoming a leader among the kids.

She will stop Ekans from coveting Rattata, mediate the conflict between Oddish and Bellsprout over soil, and lead Water-type Pokémon to fertilize the fruit trees along the wall.

Ibrahimovic is an optimistic person who can adapt to any place.

In stark contrast, the Pidgey bird with bamboo sticks tied to it in the corner under the tree appears somewhat withdrawn.

He was filled with despair and grief, almost to the point of looking up at the sky and weeping.

It ignores its own kind of Pidgeotto that comes near and looks down on other Pokémon.

It's like a helpless child who hates heaven and earth, thinking of ending it all so that its parents will regret their past actions.

Unfortunately, Pidgey's trainer has long since disappeared, and all that still cares about it is a kind-hearted person.

Holding the cooked medicinal soup, I stood a short distance away, attempting to engage in meaningless communication.

Perhaps it was the restoration of its wings that made Pidgey realize that Lanxing really wanted to help it, and it no longer showed any threat or resistance.

Still maintaining an air of superiority, trying to preserve what little self-respect remains by trampling on the kindness of others.

Just looking at the spring tree makes me angry.

"Squeak-"

He pushed open the door and walked up to Pidgey.

"Compare?"

Pidgey bristled, looking as if it had seen a ghost upon seeing the spring tree.

"Either you take your medicine obediently, or I'll knock you unconscious and force-feed you the medicine. You choose one."

Quanshu sneered.

Pidgey instinctively stiffened its neck in refusal, but remembering what happened last night, it decided from the bottom of its heart to bow its head.

Noticing the gazes of the surrounding Pokémon, it raised its head again.

He had a "you can kill me" look on his face.

Izumi Tree took in all its tiny movements, and its eyes were still secretly observing the reactions of the other Pokémon.

He understood that Pidgey had already chosen to submit from the bottom of his heart, but he was just too proud to admit it.

So Izumi returned to the lobby and continued grinding.

I silently marked a spot for Pidgey in my mind.

Lanxing also wanted to remind him that he shouldn't be so rough with injured Pokémon.

After Izumi left, Pidgey limped over and asked for the medicinal soup that she had been trying to persuade her to give for so long.

"I don't understand."

Lanxing held her forehead.

Aren't Pokémon all about perseverance and determination?

This Pidgey is so complicated.

Chapter Eleven Adopters

There are three conditions that need to be met to adopt a Pokémon.

1. No criminal record.

Second, no serious mental illness.

3. Pay taxes to the alliance on time for three years or more.

In addition to the three basic conditions, different welfare institutions have different additional requirements for adoptive parents.

For example, the Tingxiang Welfare Home requires adopters to sign an agreement that they will not abandon their Pokémon for eight years.

In future, irregular follow-up surveys, if any cases of abandonment are found, the adoptive parents will be required to pay a penalty to the welfare institution.

In cases of abandonment leading to the disappearance or death of a Pokémon, the League will pursue legal action against the adopter.

Therefore, adoption is a big deal.

At the desk in the lobby, a middle-aged couple with their child, around ten years old, were carefully reading the agreement.

"Hiro, have you decided which Pokémon you want to adopt?"

When asked by his mother, Xiaohong replied without hesitation, "I want Pikachu!"

"Pikachu is very cute, and it has a very gentle temperament if you don't touch its tail unnecessarily."

Lanxing enthusiastically introduced, "There are currently three Pikachu in the orphanage, and they are all good children."
