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

Such discussions brought Luo Ke back to his senses.

This wasn't the first time he'd heard the term "zoological school."

He remembered that when he participated in a summer camp activity, the comments section said that the giraffe guy was a member of the zoology school!

At the time, he didn't understand what Ditto turning into himself had to do with the Zoological School.

But now he seems to understand...

While Luo Ke was pondering, Changshan had already helplessly ordered his men to stop the guys who were pushing the tiger up and push the tiger back down.

Some trainers confirmed that the newcomer was carrying two Magikarp in addition to a tiger. However, among the animals they transported in via tunnel, besides the tiger, there was also a lion and a leopard...

After confirming that the opponent was not going to continue the battle with Magikarp, but instead insisted on using Tiger, the team had no choice but to declare him the loser.

Luo Ke, watching from the sidelines, clearly saw Changshan's expression perfectly synchronized with his dog's. Both were wide-eyed, mouths agape, looking like they wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, and could only manage a forced smile in the end.

Luo Ke shook his head slightly at this.

The testing is still too lenient.

He passed the test as soon as he came in. There's a device at the door that detects the Poké Balls hanging on your Trainer's Belt or something similar to determine how many Pokémon you're carrying.

If there are more than three, but not more than a certain number, it will pass directly; otherwise, it will sound an alarm.

Even if you bring three Magikarp, they'll still let you in.

Moreover, Magikarp is actually much stronger in real life than in the game.

Because the mainstream view in this world is that hard work is more important than talent, Luo Ke saw someone online saying that the current Water-type Gym Leader of Shenzhou has a very powerful Magikarp.

It moves very fast in water and has a great impact force.

So even if the gym leaders find out you have three Magikarp, they won't really say anything to you.

They might even wonder if you have some unique tactics.

After the Zoological School member was carried off, it was Changshan's rest time, while the dojo arranged for the next challenger.

If no one is live streaming today, then under normal circumstances, there would be a constant stream of challengers.

Some come for the dojo badge, while others become fascinated with the pit tactics here, develop and refine them, and then come specifically to challenge and learn from Changshan.

But if someone is live-streaming, that's a different story.

Many of the trainers who come for the gym badge are newbies. If they're confident they can beat the gym in one go, they certainly wouldn't mind if you streamed it live. But just like that Zoological School trainer from earlier, if you get instantly defeated right away, it's a bit embarrassing to have it streamed live.

Not many people would come to Changshan to ask for tactical advice.

So for a while, there were no challengers.

Upon seeing this, Luo Ke stood up and walked over to the staff.

"I'm signing up, I'll be next."

He didn't mind live streaming in the first place. After witnessing Changshan's underground tactic, he had just come up with some countermeasures and was already itching to get started.

"Okay, I'll register you."

The staff were quite professional, smiling, patient, and experienced.

Under his guidance, Luo Ke quickly completed the preliminary preparations for the challenge, and Changshan also received the news.

When the lights inside the arena came back on, the streamer who had been interacting with the audience in the live broadcast room lowered his voice and focused on the competition.

He only has a few hours to stream, so the more matches he streams, the more money he earns.

Even the zoological school of thought can bring him considerable entertainment value.

"Hello, I am the headmaster of the Black Continent Dojo. My name is Changshan."

Wearing a uniform similar to that of a miner, with short but clean hair, he was in his early thirties, quite tall, and physically robust. Changshan was a very spirited person.

Even though they had just encountered such an abstract matter, they didn't view Luo Ke with any prejudice and still wore a friendly smile.

"Hello, my name is Luo Ke."

In response to such a person, Rocco responded in a very friendly manner, and then the two of them took a Poké Ball from their waists.

"Go, Upo."

As the Gym Leader, Changshan wouldn't change his tactics casually. Even if he needed to adjust the intensity based on the challenger's strength, he wouldn't use his strongest Pokémon on the first move against a challenger without a badge. Therefore, the first Pokémon he sent out was still his own Wobo.

Luo Ke, on the other hand, had already come up with ideas after seeing the pit tactics.

This time he didn't send out Ditto, but instead...

"Go, Victini!"

Testimonials

When I came back after finishing my errands, I saw that everyone else was posting their testimonials about the product launch, and then it suddenly dawned on me that it was launched today.

In a rush, I'll just post my thoughts on the product launch anyway.

As for what to say in my acceptance speech... I'm a bit conflicted.

When I think about Pokémon, or more specifically, Pocket Monsters, I feel like I have a lot to say.

For example, I once saw something like Platinum? Or HeartGold and SoulSilver? I forgot, anyway, it was at a press conference where they said that in the world of Pokémon, they pursue a more peaceful world, a more harmonious relationship between humans and nature, and a world where humans are not so indifferent. That sentence left a deep impression on me.

Just like I mentioned in this book, the League broadcasts live, but controls the distribution of the recordings. I'm sure everyone understands what that means. In our world, if you're broadcasting live, how can you control it? But the Elf world in my imagination should be a world where it can be controlled in this way.

However, in the end I didn't dare to write it too definitively. I only focused on limiting its spread. In the end, I felt from the bottom of my heart that complete control was impossible... Thinking about it this way, it feels a bit sad.

Many people probably don't like the children's-oriented worldview and prefer special episodes instead.

Actually, I feel the same way. In some parts, I prefer the more realistic special episodes because I find them cool, like the battle design and the appearance of legendary beasts.

But if I had to say what kind of fairy world would be more appealing to me... it would definitely be one that's more peaceful, where humans and nature live in harmony, and where some 'stupid things' happen that seem impossible to us and would leave us speechless.

As for this book, I believe many longtime readers will recognize it. After all, urban elf novels were very popular a few years ago. Several websites had urban elf novels as their best-selling elf novels at the time. It's not that long ago, and I think many people should still remember it.

My book is generally the same kind of story. Like other books, it incorporates elements of my own fantasy about the elf world into the urban design section.

Overall rhythm... if you think of Roko as a Pokémon and Victini as a Trainer, then it's pretty much the same!

Finally, let's talk about the protagonist. I believe many people who have read this far should have a general impression of Luo Ke, but I can only say that this is still the complete version.

The first inspiration that came to me when I first wanted to write this book is still not written down.

This part is from Volume 2. Readers should have guessed it by the middle of Volume 2: the final battle of Volume 2 will feature the protagonist's first stage of complete form.

In short, I've calculated that there's one form in Volume 2, one form in Volume 3, and one more form in Volume 4, which is the last one.

I wrote four volumes of outlines.

It is expected to be completed after the fourth volume is finished.

Whether the outline will be torn up and expanded in the middle depends on the situation, but at least the content of the four volumes should not change much.

Well... that's all I wanted to say.

Oh, right, there's one more thing!

After it's published, I'll increase the update frequency from two updates a day to three updates a day. If I'm in a good state, I might update even more.

Today...

I'm going to sleep now. I'll start writing when I get up. See you tonight!

that's it!

47. Stacking numerical values ​​is a tactic for players!

With a flash of red light, Roco's Victini landed on the field, not floating in mid-air as usual, but actually standing on the ground.

Upon seeing Victini, both the trainers at the scene and the viewers watching the live stream noticed one thing—they didn't recognize this Pokémon!

However, this incident did not cause any disturbance among the audience, because it is quite normal for ordinary people to encounter an elf they do not recognize.

Firstly, for most people in this world, because the League does not allow wild Pokémon to appear in cities, they cannot recognize all of the hundreds of Pokémon in the Pokédex.

Just like modern people's understanding of animals, although you can find information about them online, very few people actually do it.

It's perfectly normal to encounter an elf you've never seen before!

Secondly... this is the real world.

For the game, different colors are enough to distinguish between different Pokémon.

However, there are many differences in reality. For example, some elves of the same species have different ear shapes, and some have certain characteristics and traces due to their living environment. Different colors are the most common.

Some trainers even dye their Pokémon!

Therefore, the most special spirit in this world is the kind that Roco originally thought of—a spirit that is practically a bug in the game, with its uniqueness maximized due to its own experiences and other reasons.

These kinds of spirits often possess characteristics that set them apart from their kind.

Under such circumstances, even though Gym Leader Chōzan heard Roko call out "Victini" when he released the Pokémon, his understanding of Victini was still uncertain, wavering between a new Pokémon and a variant of some kind of rodent Pokémon.

After all, there are so many people who name their Pokémon. Victini is just a very conventional name among those people's Pokémon names. As a Gym Leader, he has seen a lot and is not surprised by anything.

As for mythical beasts...

Yurika didn't even have the concept of mythical beasts, let alone anyone else.

All they could be sure of was that Bictini was very rare and must have some kind of special skill!

That's why Changshan made the wrong judgment.

"Upo, dig a hole!"

Just like in the last match, he made Upo burrow underground right from the start!

Because the previous match had just ended, the surface part was filled in while resting in Changshan, but the underground part was not completely filled in. Therefore, Wubo's digging speed this time will only be faster than last time!

but...

Luo Ke simply watched this scene without saying a word.

Bictini acted immediately without Rocco giving any orders!

First, it becomes invisible, and then, without anyone seeing it, it flies into the sky.

"So you have the ability to become invisible, huh? You're trying to use that to keep me from finding your location and thus prevent me from knocking your Pokémon into the pit. Not a bad strategy, but unfortunately—it won't work on me!"

Changshan's words contained no instructions, but based solely on his tacit understanding with the elf, Upo, who was digging a hole underground, immediately closed his eyes.

The ditch tactic seems simple and straightforward, but in reality, there are some issues that require the Pokémon to fill in using their abilities.

When your Pokémon is digging a burrow underground, your opponent's Pokémon will also move. If you have to rely on the trainer, Chōzan, to verbally announce the location, the Pokémon on the surface will definitely be prepared when there is any movement underground.

So unless you dig the entire underground space, you won't be able to dig the pit fast enough, and you won't be able to make any other arrangements in the pit.

Therefore, the sprite must be able to determine the enemy's location on its own and shatter the ground the moment the enemy steps on it!

Only in this way can the practical value of the burrow tactic be elevated to the level of a classic ground-based tactic.

Woopoo, the Gym Leader's Pokémon, is extremely familiar with the ditch tactic and has undergone extensive training in it.

Therefore, when it closes its eyes, it can determine the enemy's exact location on the ground through various subtle information such as vibration and breath.

Left, right...

Ok?

Ubo suddenly opened his eyes and then opened his mouth.

'Wow--'

As Wubo let out a cry that could pierce the ground, Changshan immediately looked up at the sky.

"I see, it's not on the ground, so it can fly?"

Seeing his reaction, Luo Ke laughed.

He had already thought it through. Although the tactics in this world are diverse, there was no need to completely abandon some of the ideas and experiences he had when he was still a player.

Just as he said when he was fighting Alice.
