Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 320 Pikachu's Tsundere Time, Embarking on a Journey!

As Xiao Mao appeared, the comments section started scrolling wildly.

Wow, this kid's asking for a beating!

[That smug pose, that confident expression, and the fact that he even has his own cheerleaders—honestly, I feel like this guy is the main character.]

[This Xiao Mao's hairstyle... his aesthetic sense is truly unique.]

The protagonist was mocked as soon as he stepped out... It feels vaguely familiar, yet somehow different... Why does this mockery sound so friendly? They even reminded him that if he didn't go soon, he wouldn't be able to claim it.

To be fair, this kid is kind of handsome.

Ash clenched his fists in frustration, but watching Gary's car disappear into the distance, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Damn it, I have to work harder too!"

He started running again, heading towards the white building at the highest point of town—the Oki Research Institute.

The institute's doors were wide open, and Xiao Zhi nearly bumped into an elderly man in a white coat as he rushed in.

Professor Oak!

The old man adjusted his glasses, looked at Xiao Zhi who was covered in sweat, and smiled: "Xiao Zhi, you've finally arrived. Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Sorry, I overslept..." Xiao Zhi scratched his head sheepishly.

Professor Oak shook his head and turned to walk towards the lab table.

"Come on, beginner Pokémon are here."

Xiao Zhi took a deep breath and excitedly walked over.

On the lab table were three red and white Poké Balls.

"This is... Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle..." Ash muttered to himself, reaching directly towards the ball in the middle.

"I choose you! Charmander!"

The ball flashed open, but there was no reaction.

"Huh?"

"Um, the little dragon was taken by a guy about 5 minutes ago..."

Professor Oak's voice rang out from the side.

So Ash switched to Squirtle's Poké Ball, but the situation was the same; Squirtle had already been taken away by Gary.

"It's alright, we still have Bulbasaur!"

Ash took a deep breath and reached for Bulbasaur's Poké Ball, but when he opened it, there was nothing there! Hmm.

His hand froze in mid-air, as if he had realized something.

Professor Oak sighed, a slightly embarrassed smile appearing on his face: "Well... Ash, actually..."

"Actually, they have all been taken away."

As the professor finished speaking, Ash trembled as if struck by lightning.

He stared at the empty base, completely petrified.

"what?!"

"Are they all... gone?"

Professor Oak scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. "As you know, there are a lot of people getting starter Pokémon this year. Gary, who came early, has already taken Squirtle, Charmander was taken by a girl, and Bulbasaur was also chosen. Now... there's only this one left."

As he spoke, the images of three Pokémon appeared behind him, each marked with a large red cross.

The chat in the live stream room started to get active again.

【Huh? Only one left? What kind of start is this?】

[That guy named Xiao Mao is so unfair! He picked all the ugliest ones, what was left for the protagonist?]

[But seriously, those three Pokémon all look pretty good. The one carrying the seed is Bulbasaur? It looks quite docile. And the one with the flames is Charmander? It looks the coolest!]

[Yeah, I also think Charmander is the coolest. I'd choose that one. The main character is doomed; he'll probably only get one of the less desirable characters.]

[Demon King, if you had to choose, which one would you pick?]

Jiang the Great Demon King looked at the comments and thought for a moment.

"If I had to choose, I'd definitely pick Charmander," he said into the microphone, his tone tinged with admiration. "It looks so imposing, and its evolution would definitely be something like Charizard, how cool."

After saying that, he suddenly paused for a moment.

It's only been a few minutes? And they're already discussing which Pokémon to choose?
Moreover, judging from the reactions in the comments, everyone seemed to be completely absorbed in it, and no one mentioned the poor picture quality or the lack of an intro anymore.

This animation... is kind of interesting.

On the screen, Ash was somewhat disappointed, but he still picked up the last Poké Ball.

"I want it, no matter what it is!"

As Xiao Zhi pressed the button, a white light flashed.

A yellow creature with long ears and a lightning bolt-shaped tail appeared on the table.

It has a round body, bright black eyes, and two red...dimples?

"Pikachu?"

It tilted its head and let out a clear chirp.

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with the keyword "cute".

Holy crap! This is so cute!

[What is this creature? A rat? But this rat is so handsome!]

[That blushing face makes me want to pinch it! The designer must be a genius; how could they design a mouse like that?]

Pikachu? Is that its name? It sounds quite catchy.

Ash was clearly also attracted by this adorable Pokémon, and excitedly reached out to shake its hand.

"Pikachu, I'm Ash. From today onwards, we're partners!"

However, Pikachu's reaction was unexpected by everyone.

It jumped back a step in disgust, crossed its arms over its chest, turned its head to the side, and looked utterly disdainful.

"Pikachu".

The live chat erupted in laughter again.

Hahaha! This little guy has quite a temper!

[Disdain! It really disdains! Look at that look, it's practically screaming 'Don't touch me!']

[This is hilarious! If I woke up and saw such a silly kid in front of me, I'd be disgusted too.]

[This pet has such a distinct personality! It's not just the kind that's cute; its tsundere traits are off the charts!]

Professor Oak wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "To say it's special... well, it's just that this Pikachu has a rather unique personality; it's not very friendly towards people."

Ash wasn't giving up, so he took out a small device from the table and scanned Pikachu.

[Illustrated Guide Launched]

As the mechanical sound rang out, Pikachu's data and information popped up on the screen.

[Pikachu, the mouse Pokémon. A Pokémon that can generate electricity; it has small electric sacs on both cheeks that it uses to discharge electricity when it encounters danger.]

The viewers in the live stream were shocked once again.

Holy crap, what kind of cutting-edge technology is this encyclopedia?

[This thing can analyze all Pokémon information directly? That's so convenient! If I had software like this, I'd be unbeatable when it comes to Animal Studies!]

Wait, that's not the point. The point is, it can discharge electricity, right? This little guy can discharge electricity?

[Looks harmless, but it's actually electrified... I like it even more now] In the scene, Ash clearly didn't take the "electrocution" warning to heart; he just wanted to bring Pikachu home.

He picked up Pikachu and tried to drag it away by force.

"Hey Pikachu, what's with that face you're making? Come on, we're going on a trip!"

Pikachu struggled desperately, and the electric sacs on its cheeks began to flash with dangerous electric sparks.

"Pikachu!"

Ash was still grinning foolishly, completely unaware of the impending danger.

The next second, a dazzling yellow current burst forth, enveloping Ash completely.

"Zizzi-"

The screen turned into a white light, and then Ash's entire body turned charred black, his hair stood on end, and he was still emitting wisps of smoke. He collapsed to the ground, seeing stars.

Of course, Professor Oak was with him.

When this scene appeared, the live stream chat exploded with comments like "hahahahaha" and "I'm dying of laughter."

【hhhhhhh】

This is hilarious! It's absolutely hilarious!

Holy crap, it really does generate electricity! Those special effects look painful!

Is the main character really alright? He looks like he's turned to charcoal...

[This Pikachu really went all out, without any hesitation, hahaha!]

[Demon King, this anime is something else! I bet the protagonist's in for a rough time.]

Jiang the Great Demon King laughed so hard he almost spat out the cola he had just drunk.

He wiped his mouth, looked at the charred Ash and the afro-haired Professor Oak on the screen, and the ominous premonition in his heart had long since vanished.

Although the picture quality is so-so, although there's no opening sequence, and although the production team seems to be on a tight budget, the plot... seems kind of interesting?

At the same time, Ash shook off the dust from his head, picked up the red and white Poké Ball, and pressed the switch on Pikachu.

A red beam shot out from it, but Pikachu was not caught up like other Pokémon. Instead, it nimbly jumped away from the beam.

"Huh?!"

"Pikachu, why aren't you going in!"

Xiao Zhi was completely dumbfounded.

Pikachu, however, looked resistant, shaking its little head like a rattle drum, and even swatting the red and white ball far away with its little paws, showing a stubborn look of "I won't look, I won't listen".

When Xiao Zhi realized that his gentle approach wasn't working, he rolled his eyes and suddenly pulled out a pair of thick, yellow rubber gloves from his backpack, as thick as bulletproof vests.

These gloves look like the kind you'd normally use to unclog drains.

He put on gloves, rubbed his hands together vigorously, and grinned confidently. "Hehe, now you can't electrify me!"

After saying that, he suddenly pounced on Pikachu, trying to forcibly hug it.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu's eyes narrowed, and just as Ash's hand was about to touch it, the electric sac on its cheek suddenly released a strong electric current.

"Sizzle sizzle—!"

A blinding yellow light instantly enveloped Ash.

"Aaaaaah—!"

Ash let out a blood-curdling scream, his entire body convulsing in mid-air from the electric shock, before collapsing to the ground as a black humanoid object.

The worst off was Professor Oak, who was standing nearby. He tried to take a step back, but he was too close and was hit by the aftershock.

Professor Oak was also caught in the intense flash, his whole body was smoking from the electric shock, his eyes rolled back, and he fell straight backward, an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

When the viewers in the live stream saw this, the chat exploded with comments.

[Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter! Poor Professor Oak! Is this the legendary case of zero kills, a thousand casualties, and a random passerby in to save you?]

[Did you buy these rubber gloves from PDD wholesaler? Why aren't they discharging electricity?]

Pikachu: You want to catch me? I'll electrocute you! And that old man too!

[Isn't this protagonist a bit silly? Hahaha, what's the use of just protecting his hands from electric shocks? People can just shock his whole body.]

Jiang the Great Demon King sat in front of the computer, looking at the two charred figures on the screen, and smiled.

He actually found this little Zhi somewhat interesting. Although he seemed a bit silly, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity with him, as if he were seeing himself as a child.

However, this intelligence definitely needs improvement.

The scene shifts, and after several attempts, Ash has clearly given up on the idea of ​​forcibly capturing Pikachu.

He found a thick rope somewhere, tied one end around Pikachu's neck, and pulled on the other end, dragging Pikachu away.

Pikachu followed reluctantly behind, its four short legs gripping the ground tightly as it was dragged forward by the rope, leaving two long tracks on the laboratory floor.

“Pikachu…”

It let out a protesting bark, clearly very unhappy with being treated like a dog on a leash.

When the viewers in the live stream saw this, the chat exploded with comments.

[Hahahaha! This is hilarious! Is this someone walking Pikachu?]

[That's a sudden change in style! They were talking about partners just now, and now they're walking the dog?]

Pikachu: Get out of my way!

This protagonist is truly something else...

Ash dragged Pikachu out of the research institute.

At the entrance, Ash's mother, Hanako, was wiping away tears with a handkerchief, while the residents of Pallet Town waved goodbye on both sides.

"Ash, be careful on the road!"

"You must become a Pokémon Master!"

Professor Oak, who had been electrocuted and turned to charcoal, had recovered somewhat. Although his face was still covered in soot, he still stood at the door, smiling and waving goodbye.

Amidst the farewells of the crowd, Ash, clutching the rope, embarked on his journey, turning back every few steps.

The sun shone brightly in Pallet Town, and a gentle breeze rustled through the lush green grass, carrying with it a refreshing scent of herbs. However, for Ash watching on screen, this beautiful morning was clearly not so pleasant.

He was carrying a huge yellow backpack and holding a rope he'd found somewhere, with the yellow electric mouse tied to the other end, as he struggled to move forward.

In the scene, Ash is clearly aware of Pikachu's resistance.

He stopped, turned around and looked at the sulking Pikachu, scratching his head helplessly.

"Pikachu, can't you just go into the Poké Ball? That would make things easier for everyone."

As he spoke, he took a red and white Poké Ball from his belt, trying to persuade Pikachu.

"Look, it's very comfortable here, just like home."

Pikachu glanced at the Poké Ball, then immediately turned its head to the side, even covering its eyes with its little paws, looking like it was saying, "I don't want to see or hear anything."

Ash sighed and could only put away the Poké Ball. It seemed this Pikachu was determined not to stay inside.

"Alright, Pikachu, if you don't want to go in, then don't."

"Even so, we're still partners."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the live stream paused.

Jiang the Great Demon King was also taken aback.

That kid...
—Your personality seems pretty good, doesn't it?
