Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 110: Clear and Stupid Pokémon
The news that Ghost Pictures was about to start shooting a new short film quickly spread throughout the Special Actors Guild in Kanaz City, but Ghost Pictures did not receive many audition requests.

The main reason is because of Teng Shu's requirement for the protagonist this time. Teng Shu only asked for a Spearow to play the role, but the problem is that not many people have captured a Pokémon like Spearow. After all, the potential of Spearow is relatively limited, and there are too many flying Pokémon to choose from. Many people in the Hoenn region like to choose Tanabata's unevolved form, Cottonbird.

Tanabata is also a flying-type Pokémon, and once it is cultivated and evolved, Tanabata can become a dragon-attribute Pokémon. It is very good for battles, and if you don't use it in battles, you can also listen to Tanabata's beautiful singing voice.

However, although there were not many people who could tame the Spearow, when the time came for Teng Shu to take the role, there were still ten special actors who possessed the Spearow who came to audition.

"Boss, are there any requirements for acting skills this time?" Zoroark asked while standing beside Teng Shu. Zoroark knew very well that his boss particularly liked Pokémon and actors with good acting skills.

"No, the requirement this time is no acting skills. The worse the better." Teng Shu flipped through the information in his hand and replied casually, leaving Zoroark a little confused.

Why are the requirements this time different from before?

Teng Shu looked at the audition requests in his hand, which included photos of Spearow and the works they had participated in. However, perhaps because of the nature of Spearow as a Pokémon, they had not participated in many works.

However, this is more in line with Teng Shu's requirements. What Teng Shu wanted this time was to shoot a Spearow that was close to surviving in the wild, and then let it fly along without telling it the fright point, and then let Gengar take action and give it an unexpected fright. It's hard to say whether he could get a more realistic fright scene.

This is why Teng Shu requires poor acting skills. Poor acting skills will make it easier to be frightened, and that kind of genuine expression will make wild Pokémon more realistic.

Soon, Teng Shu took a fancy to a Spearow, who had no experience in acting, and it took two years to register as a special Pokémon actor.

He has not appeared in any work in two years, or he is unable to get any work, but the probability of this is relatively low. The Alliance provides subsidies to Pokémon actors, and basically they can get two jobs every year. Even if there are no eligible ones, there are also public welfare short films for the Alliance to shoot.

But this Spearow has never taken a single shot, which proves that he has some flaws, such as acting skills that are so bad that the Alliance can't even grit their teeth and use them.

"Let the actor come over for an audition." Teng Shu wanted to see how well this Spearow could act, and judging from the photo, this Spearow's eyes also had a hint of clear stupidity.

"Okay, boss." Zoroark was a little confused, but didn't say anything. Instead, he went down to inform the other trainer. Soon, an excited girl brought Spearow to Phantom Pictures.

Zoroark looked at the girl in front of him with some hesitation. It was the first time he saw a human with such clear and stupid eyes.

There is a kind of beauty that has not been beaten by society.

"Mr. Teng Shu! I am the trainer of Xiaoque who is here for the audition!" When Teng Shu saw the girl, he couldn't help scratching his head.

If this girl were in her previous life, she would be the typical image of a pure and stupid college student. However, Teng Shu was not auditioning for her, but for Lieque.

So Teng Shu looked at the Fiery Bird. Then he saw the Fiery Bird standing on the girl's shoulder tilting its head and searching for something in the girl's hair with its beak. It looked so persistent that he thought there was some bug in the girl's hair.

Teng Shu fell silent. Isn't this a bit too stupid?

However, after the audition, Teng Shu was still very satisfied. The acting skills of this Spearow had reached the level of returning to nature - there was no detectable acting ability at all.

No wonder it has not participated in any work. After all, such acting is no different from finding a wild Spearow in the wild. The only advantage is probably that this Pokémon named Spearow was trained by its trainer not to look at the camera intentionally.

"That's it. Do you have time today?" Teng Shu asked the girl. The girl with freckles on her face nodded immediately.

I was even so excited that I looked like crying.

However, considering that this was the first time for the opponent's Spearow to participate in filming, although it was only a short film, it was indeed a huge improvement. Teng Shu did not say anything, but notified the crew and the props team to prepare and go to the Orange Forest in the evening to complete this filming.

And Teng Shu needs to meet Gengar first and make two sugar cubes for him. After all, asking Gengar for help requires sugar. Teng Shu doesn't mind this. After all, Gengar is a strong guy and has a good relationship with him.

Zoroark was driving quietly. Teng Shu was sitting in the car, looking at the scenery receding outside the window, and couldn't help falling into deep thought.

Speaking of which, I'm going to play rock-paper-scissors with Gengar today, right? Gengar likes to use scissors, so I might as well use paper and let him win once. Otherwise, Teng Shu would feel a lot of pressure watching a fat guy weighing hundreds of pounds being wronged every day.

Moreover, a game where players keep losing can easily make players lose motivation to continue playing. However, there are also some mechanisms that like to torture players, such as making players lose consecutively, as if this can touch the inner sense of satisfaction of these designers, but Teng Shu will definitely not do this. He will occasionally let Gengar win when facing him to give Gengar some gaming experience.

When the car arrived outside the Orange Forest, Teng Shu took Zoroark in. As soon as they entered, Teng Shu saw a little light in the sky. He raised his head and took a look, and then he saw a very beautiful Pokémon flying from the sky. It flapped its wings and the sunlight shone on its body, sacred and dazzling.

Teng Shu was a little dazed. When the Pokémon flew high in the sky, its tail seemed to be dragging a rainbow.
Only after the other party disappeared from his sight did Teng Shu come to his senses.

"Isn't this the official photographer?" Teng Shu opened his mouth. He really hadn't thought that one day he would be able to meet the legendary beast Ho-oh in the Hoenn region.

The official photographer in the Pokémon movie.

"Boss" Zoroark swallowed his saliva, and Teng Shu noticed something strange on his head. He reached out and touched it, and then got a feather.
