Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

When Roco was playing games, he would consider which Pokémon was cool, good-looking, or strong when he caught them. But for a new trainer in this world, it seems that 'which one is destined to be with him' is a more important factor.

If even obtaining a starter Pokémon is this difficult, and the people in this world aren't absolute novices, then you can't expect wild Pokémon to be so virtuous as to refrain from attacking their trainers when adventuring in the wild.

So for most trainers, abilities, moves, tactics, and the like are probably not things they would consider.

Luo Ke thought a lot about this.

But he had no worries about the summer camp that was going to be held in three days.

He already knew what kind of elves would appear at the Los Angeles summer camp through previous episodes.

These Pokémon are either trained by the League or specially selected; they are not very aggressive and are not particularly dangerous.

It seems to be something like the green caterpillar. Although he practiced martial arts intermittently, after reading those ten-thousand-word analyses, he felt that he should have been able to defeat it with his fists before he transmigrated.

Not to mention he's a complete rookie right now!

He did a quick test before coming to the hotel... and he felt incredibly strong!

Although he wasn't sure what level he was at among the Pokémon, based on the data and events he saw in those videos that described Pokémon as very strong, he estimated that he could do most of them, and even do them better!

He watched a video about this world that said the superhuman strength relied on four hands and could deliver a thousand punches in two seconds!

He tried it out briefly and found that, without completely pursuing speed, he could easily throw a thousand punches in two seconds with both hands, provided that he was still focused on the power of his punches!

He couldn't figure out the solution using the methods he knew.

But he tried lifting the truck parked on the side of the road and easily got its tires off the ground!

He didn't continue trying for fear of being discovered; otherwise, he felt that he could easily overturn the truck with one hand!

Luo Ke didn't know whether he could fight against the superhuman strength and win.

However, the Pokémon selected during the summer camp activities certainly do not reach the strength of ordinary monsters.

Therefore, Luo Ke has no need to worry!

There's no need to develop a set of strategies and then make targeted preparations.

His plan for capturing the starter Pokémon was very simple.

In other words—punch!

The League will distribute five Poké Balls, which are essential items, before the summer camp activities. So, all Roco needs to do is wear clothes that allow for easy movement and bring his hands!

Subdue whichever one you want, and then take it!

It's that simple!

......

3. Is he here for tourism?

"Hello everyone, I am Lily, the host of this summer camp event."

Wearing a white dress, with her light golden hair tied up and adorned with a red rose hair accessory that complements her hair color, this young woman is holding a microphone and smiling at the camera.

Her smile was pure and innocent, like a newly blossoming flower.

And this smile was praised by Los Angeles audiences as the most beautiful smile for three consecutive years.

However, that smile only lingered on the screen for a short while before the host, Baihe, stepped aside, revealing the commentary booth set up in the woods behind her.

"Just like previous summer camp activities, our resident commentator, Mr. Giraffe, is still present this time."

As Baihe spoke, the man on the left side of the commentary booth nodded vigorously at the camera.

There's nothing we can do about it. It might be due to his persona or other reasons, but this man is wearing a full-coverage giraffe headgear!

If it's a small movement, it's hard to see it in someone like him.

However, the reason he is called Mr. Giraffe is not just because of the headgear.

Under the hood, his neck is probably twice as long as a normal person's, and it doesn't look out of place at all even under the hood!

That's probably the real reason he wears that kind of headgear.

He's the kind of guy who makes a good impression.

However, it's clear from Baihe's introduction that he's not the focus of the commentary team this time.

"And as you've probably already noticed, our temporary commentator this time is none other than the strongest champion who recently won the King of the Skies tournament, representing North America—Miss Eureka!"

As Yuri's voice rang out, the camera switched to a close-up, giving Eureka a close-up shot.

Although her title is Empress, she doesn't look very old. She has short blonde hair, a red scarf, a white shirt that's partially tied at the waist, and skinny jeans that fit her legs perfectly, all connected to brown ankle boots.

This cowboy-like outfit, combined with her not-so-prominent bust, also gives her a very...girlish look!

but...

This girl, however, showed absolutely no signs of youth; in fact, her face was expressionless. Furthermore, various small flying-type Pokémon from the forest were perched on her head, shoulders, and the table in front of her!

Especially the blue cotton bird on her head!

At this moment, it completely retracted its body into its cloud-like wings, looking like a cotton candy with eyes and a cowlick.

Soft, lazy, light, and warm~

It seems he's treating Eureka's hair like his own bird's nest.

This scene looks very cute, but those who know will understand that Swablu generally weighs between two and three pounds. It's unclear how long it had been standing still, but in any case, Eureka's neck was bent by its weight.

This situation made Yurika look blank, like a swan trying to stretch its neck!

However, she still gave her response when faced with a close-up shot from the camera.

"Ah ho~"

She lazily uttered what sounded like a greeting, and then remained silent, simply shifting her gaze from the microphone to the camera.

Um...

Even more dumbfounded!

"...Ah, so we've looked at the commentary booth, now let's take a look at the players' side~"

Realizing that Eureka wouldn't speak again, Yuri quickly tried to salvage the situation with a gentle voice.

The camera then switched to focus on the contestants.

Unlike the rather quiet commentary booth, the players' side was much more lively.

And because the contestants often have their own preparations, there are many things about them that can be discussed.

Some were carrying huge pots on their backs, some were wearing full armor, some were dressed as clowns, and some had dyed green hair...

If this were the first time you'd seen this scene, you might think it was some kind of theater troupe putting on a show nearby.

But since there are summer camp activities every year, neither the hosts nor the audience are surprised by them.

Lily even provides commentary on some of the most distinctive contestants.

For example, the purpose of the large pot carried by this contestant is different from that of contestants in previous episodes, and the style of the clown costume this time is different from that of previous episodes... In this process, Baihe's adaptability fully demonstrates her broad and profound knowledge.

But when the camera started to move and then stopped on one person, even the professional host Baihe was clearly stunned for a moment.

The reason wasn't that this person's outfit was too bizarre, but rather...

"This gentleman's attire... isn't it a bit too normal?"

...

They're just too weird!

After looking around, Luo Ke finally focused his gaze on himself and came to this conclusion.

Although he had watched many episodes of the show before he came, seeing these guys in person was a completely different experience from watching them on screen!

But Luo Ke only glanced around and then stopped paying attention.

He completely ignored the stares of those around him.

Before the event started, he simply picked up his backpack, took out a thermos and placed it next to him, and also took out a box of Los Angeles flower cakes that he had bought on the way here and that had received high reviews online.

He started eating like that!

The camera then glanced at Luo Ke's fully open backpack.

Then the others discovered that Luo Ke hadn't brought anything with him except some food!

He tried to catch the starter Pokémon with his bare hands?

'Master, what do you do for a living?'

'Is this guy here for tourism?'

"Although I've long heard that people from your Flower Language City live very refined and leisurely lives, isn't this gentleman's relaxed demeanor a bit too much?"

'No, he's a tourist in Los Angeles!'

Viewers watching the live stream also commented.

While there were many memes, there wasn't a single comment with pure malice.

And this is what Rocco originally meant by the difference between the people of this world and the people of the world he traveled to before.

Not so impatient, nor so aggressive.

This social atmosphere also proves that the pace of life in this world is very relaxed and comfortable.

At least Luo Ke really liked the atmosphere.

He has even perfectly blended into the atmosphere of this world!

They're much more relaxed than the locals around them!

He really looked like he was here on vacation.

From the moment he was shown on camera until the start of the event, he actually ate everything in his backpack!

Not a single drop was left for the elves!

Moreover, he's quite knowledgeable about flower cakes, multifloral tea, honey cakes, lotus pastries...

We ate popular products recommended by locals!

His behavior drew the attention of many viewers to him.

After all, it's been a long time since we've seen such a 'pure' newcomer!

At the same time, they were all curious about one question.

So... how is he going to capture the spirits?

......

4. Can Roco be subdued?

The tall trees stand tall like guardians, their branches forming a canopy that blocks out the sun, allowing the growing green leaves to cut through the sunlight and scatter irregular patches of light across the ground.

Beneath the trees, there are many roads hidden by dense bushes, and from time to time you can see some of Los Angeles' specialty flowers!

This environment, so different from that of modern people who have lived in the city their whole lives, intrigued Luo Ke.

The thought that dozens of different kinds of elves were hidden in such an environment made Rocco rediscover the joy of 'adventure' after a long time.

It's just like when you were a child, you went to a large supermarket with your parents, or visited a relative's big house for the first time, or went to an amusement park.

The joy of childhood made Luo Ke unconsciously raise the corners of his mouth and take steps into the depths of the dense forest.

"...He's too confident."

On the commentary side, dozens of screens have been set up, each corresponding to one or more trainers participating in the event.

The commentators, the hosts, and even most of the audience were focused on Luo Ke.

This prompted Mr. Giraffe to immediately comment on Rocco's behavior.

“Even if the forest is inhabited by animals instead of elves, his behavior is far too lax.”

He spoke with his arms crossed, and Eureka, sitting on the other side, chimed in with her own lazy voice.

"Hmm... the area he went to is the habitat of the Fiery Sparrows..."
