Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 240 Collection of Science Fiction Films in the Unova Region
"Who is it?" Teng Shu looked at Zoroark, a little curious. Could it be that Zoroark remembered something? However, looking at Zoroark's appearance, it didn't seem like it.

"Hehe, I was just kidding you." Zoroark touched his nose proudly, then rushed back to his room. Teng Shu was a little helpless, but didn't say anything. Now that it was dawn, he could just go back and take a nap, and by the way, check on the situation in Shirona after waking up.

Lying on the bed, Teng Shu was flipping through his cell phone. He had a habit. For some reason, every morning once he got out of bed, he would not be able to fall asleep within a short period of time. This was his current situation.

Since I can't sleep, I might as well just check my phone.

[New ruins in the Sinnoh region! New evidence of the Age of Cleansing! ]

[Famous movie star Rockda's scandal broke out, he went into a hotel with a mysterious woman and did not return overnight]

[The League has issued the "League Minimum Hourly Wage Standard", will it have an impact on our wages? 】

Teng Shu looked at the news headlines and yawned out of boredom. Little Q curled up in Teng Shu's arms, and then he lay down and fell asleep contentedly.

[The United Alliance has issued a high reward! The future is destined to be a science fiction future! ]

Looking at a news title, Teng Shu suddenly became interested and clicked on it to take a look.

[The United Alliance recently released a 'bounty' on its official website, but it is not a bounty for any dark organization, but a special bounty for the entire alliance area]

[“We firmly believe that the future of mankind is the future of the universe and the future of science fiction!” said the president of the alliance. In the face of this situation, the United Alliance issued a reward to all well-known directors to collect films related to science fiction and the universe. After selection, three grand prizes were awarded! ]

[The first prize winner can get a mysterious gift plus 100 million Alliance Coins reward]

[The second prize winner can get 50 million Alliance Coins (five prizes)]

[The third prize is 5 million Alliance Coins (20 prizes)]

【Participation requirements.】

"A call for science fiction entries? A call for movies?" Teng Shu muttered to himself. Looking at the call in front of him, Teng Shu had some ideas in his mind.

Although Teng Shu was not short of money, one hundred million Alliance Coins would allow the fund founded by Teng Shu to go further, so it was not impossible to give it a try. Thinking of this, Teng Shu began to think about the classic movies from his previous life.

Science fiction movies and cosmic themes have basically been played out in the past. The most famous one recently is Avatar 2. Although the reviews are not very good, the success of Avatar has indeed laid some box office foundation for the launch of the second part.

But Teng Shu has not forgotten his job. He mainly shoots horror films. So is there any potential for science fiction + horror themes?
Of course there is.

The name of a movie suddenly flashed through Teng Shu’s mind - "Alien".

This movie can be said to be a milestone work in science fiction movies. It is a low-cost science fiction film with a shooting cost of only more than 10 million yuan, but it finally raked in more than 800 million yuan at the box office, making a huge profit.

It also laid the foundation for subsequent sequels.

What Teng Shu appreciates most is the earliest movie Alien, which was filmed in 1979, a period when movie special effects technology was still in its infancy. But the Alien at that time was already good enough that it didn't even need any outstanding special effects to make people shudder.

Some of the settings of Alien are also very ingenious, and even influenced the settings of some subsequent movies. Among them, the plot of the alien hugging the face, parasitizing the body, and bursting out of the chest left a deep impression on the world. Most importantly, Alien is a horror movie.

"Although it is labeled as a science fiction film, the essence of Alien is a horror film." Teng Shu looked at his phone and thought about this award in his mind.

There is no doubt that Alien is a horror film, and although it also has science fiction elements and is relatively realistic, it is undeniable that it was indeed a horror film in its original form.

Moreover, the monster called Alien is always elusive in the movies and rarely reveals its true form.

On the one hand, this is because the special effects at the time were not mature, and if the whole body was exposed, flaws might be seen; and on the other hand, such a hazy feeling can actually bring a stronger sense of fear.

When we can't see clearly, our brain will automatically fill in the blanks. The more we fill in the blanks, the scarier it becomes.

In addition, many subsequent Alien works were filmed, from the second to the fourth part. However, due to problems with the fourth part, Alien almost died, leaving behind fan-made works such as "Alien vs. Predator".

It was not until several years later that the director of Alien 1 brought out Alien: Prometheus and restarted the Alien IP.

"The special effects technology in the Pokémon world is quite advanced. If it is used to shoot aliens." Teng Shu touched his chin. He was thinking about this possibility.

It is not difficult to send aliens into this world. After all, the movie story and shooting angles of Alien are all in Teng Shu's mind. Teng Shu has also watched this excellent masterpiece many times.

But what Teng Shu was thinking about was the combination of Alien and Pokémon.

The existence of Pokémon can be said to have made Alien more promising for development, but it has also increased the difficulty of adaptation.

After all, it is well known that the alien, a special life form, is a parasitic creature born through the fusion of DNA with the host. If it fuses with humans, mice, or engineers, the appearance of the alien may have some subtle changes.

There may even be some differences in abilities.

If an alien parasitizes Pikachu, what kind of alien will be born?
What if it parasitizes a monster? What about Gardevoir? How can the alien avoid the detection of psychic Pokémon? These are all questions.

Teng Shu climbed out of bed and picked up the notebook with great interest, intending to write down his thoughts.

"In the first work, the original plot will not be changed too much, but a crew member will be added who secretly brings a Pokémon on board to relieve his loneliness. Then he will say that the company does not allow Pokémon to be brought on board. This will solve the Pokémon problem." Teng Shu wrote his thoughts in his notebook.

This way, Alien 1 only has one Pokémon.

However, Teng Shu was a little conflicted about the choice of this Pokémon.

“It’d be better if it’s unique so that it can be used for subsequent works.” Teng Shu touched his chin.

As for how the alien parasitizes steel, rock, or ghost attributes, the explanation at that time will be that "the alien has super strong parasitic ability."

Don't ask, the question is about the movie setting.
