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

Chapter 69: A Turning Point! (5k)

To be honest, similar situations have occurred many times, but this time, Shirona still couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

After all, the Gracitia flower has been extinct for so long, and even as a native of the Sinnoh region, I didn't know about the existence of this flower.

This game directly lists all the conditions required to grow Gracitia flowers.

But at this moment, Sirona quickly came to her senses and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Even if we learn about the growing conditions of Gracitia flowers here now, it is a bit too late.

After all, all the flowers on Tianguan Mountain have long since disappeared.

I should see if I can replant this flower in the game. Being able to witness an extinct plant blooming with my own eyes... is also a good thing.

Even if it is virtual.

With this thought, Sirona's thoughts returned to the conditions for growing Gracitia flowers.

Extremely cold regions, soft land, and nutrient-rich soil make this easy to achieve.

But how can I get the shell powder of the shellfish Pokémon she mentioned?
"Is there a place that sells this powder?"

Shirona couldn't help but press the interaction button and asked the big sister who was planting flowers in front of her.

But the other person covered his mouth and laughed, shaking his head slightly.

"No, of course there's no place that sells this kind of powder, but it's actually quite easy to collect it."

"All you have to do is go to the beach, catch some shellfish Pokémon, and talk to them. They'll be happy to let you scrape off some of the excess growth on their bodies."

"After all, their shells tend to grow some excess material over time...leaving them to deal with it themselves is actually quite troublesome."

Listening to the other party's explanation at this moment, Shirona's expression suddenly changed.

what?
fishing??
Recalling her previous two fishing experiences, the girl in front of the screen immediately shook her head.

No, I would rather go to the sea and look for it myself than go fishing again!
After all, every time he fished in the river, he could always catch a Gyarados that was much higher than the upper limit.

If I go fishing in the sea... who knows what kind of fish I'll catch next time...

Thinking of this, she sighed.

Forget it, there’s no rush to plant Gracitia flowers anyway.

What's more, in the game, there is no place suitable for growing this kind of flower in the several cities that he has visited so far.

——I haven’t seen any cold places, but there are quite a few hot places.

Talk to you later, talk to you later.

After learning about these situations, Shirona thanked the older sister.

At the same time, a question arose in her mind.

Whether it was the seeds of the Gracitia flower or the strange hedgehog-like Pokémon, he had found them both in the other party's flower bed.

In that case, might she have some clues about that Pokémon?
Thinking of this, Sirona pressed the interaction button and spoke again:

"Well, I want to ask you, have you ever seen a green Pokémon?"

However, as soon as these words were spoken, a red exclamation mark suddenly popped up above the older sister's head.

The moment she saw the red exclamation mark, Sirona realized that she must have triggered the plot again!

Sure enough, the next moment, the eldest sister's face showed a look of reminiscence and she spoke softly.

"A green Pokémon? I've seen one before... but that was many years ago."

"I'm sorry, I don't want to talk about this matter anymore."

"Let's put it this way. If one day you can successfully grow the Gracitia flower, bring it to me and I will tell you about that Pokémon."

Shirona was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that after triggering the plot, she didn't get more information, but instead got a task - to successfully plant Gracitia flowers!
However, Shirona was not in a hurry. Since she had already confirmed that there was a connection between the green Pokémon and this big sister... and she had a specific target, it would be much easier.

Anyway, that kind of flower is what I want to plant myself.

At this moment, after saying that, the older sister turned around and left, returning to a small wooden house nearby.

Sirona also carefully controlled the game character and collected the Gracitia flower seeds.

Although this plant has become extinct in the real world, it is no longer meaningful to obtain its specific cultivation method.

But Shirona knew that the doctor would be happy to hear information about this plant.

With this thought in mind, Shirona opened the player rankings in the game and quickly found the account registered by Professor Oak.

His image in the game is a young boy wearing a straw hat, and his game ID is very honest - [Oki Yukinari], which is Professor Oak's real name.

This is also in line with the naming style of an elderly man who never plays games.

What surprised Shirona was that the current progress position of this account was actually ranked fourth among all players!

She is naturally the first one.

The second one is Du, who has also arrived in Fuyan Town and started to challenge the Fuyan Gym.

The third one is the owner of the gym named "Qishu", whose game progress is still at Meteor Falls.

As for the fourth one, Professor Oak, the current game progress is that he has reached the beach of Kaina City.

You know, Professor Oak started playing this game very late, and his progress in the game is even faster than before!

From this point, it is enough to see that there is a reason why Professor Oak became a champion when he was young!
His understanding of Pokémon battles, based on his research experience, has far surpassed that of most trainers, even surpassing some of today's young superstars and champions.

At this moment, Shirona searched on the ranking list and finally found the button to add a friend and chose to send a request.

The next second, the application was directly approved and Professor Oak's message came back.

[Oki Yukinari: (Pikachu smiles), Takeran-chan, I was right. This game... is truly impeccable. It's incredible.]

At this moment, the moment they saw this message, all the audience in the live broadcast room were stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly reacted, and countless barrages began to erupt in the live broadcast room.

[Oki Yukinari? Is that the Oki I'm thinking of?]

[Oh my god, this isn't Professor Oak from the Kanto region, is it?]

[Who else could it be? The game progress suddenly improved so quickly, and he could even call the anchor Xiao Zhulan? It had to be him!]

[6666, Professor Oak is also playing Emerald! !]

……

At the same time, Sirona also entered information through the window.

[Strawberry Ice Cream: Indeed, Doctor, your progress is really fast.]

[Strawberry Ice Cream: So, Doctor, have you also seen the Rock Pillar?]

Dr. Oak replied very quickly, which was totally unlike the typing speed of an elderly person. This was probably related to the fact that he often operated scientific research machines.

[Oki Yukinari: Of course, to be honest, even though I'd already watched the video you sent me and was mentally prepared, it was still a bit shocking when I saw it with my own eyes.]

Sirona did not respond directly to this, but she nodded slightly in front of the screen.

That aura...that sense of intimidation.

I have to say, it is indeed too strong.

She thought about it and continued typing, sharing her detailed findings from Regirock with Professor Oak.

[Strawberry Ice Cream: Doctor, based on my speculation and findings, if you want to awaken that Regirock, you need to place some energy-rich minerals or items into that magic circle.]

[Strawberry Ice Cream: But even a decent quality Evolution Stone can only barely fill a small portion of the energy of the first magic circle.]

This time, there was silence in the chat box for a moment before the message was sent again.

[Oki Yukinari: Takeran-chan, how about this... you're responsible for catching up on the game progress, and I'll slow down and find a way to collect more ores and items to fill up that energy you mentioned.]

[I'll share with you information about collecting items, and you can send me your experience and ideas about challenging gyms and important NPCs.]

As soon as these words were spoken, Sirona's eyes lit up.

I have to say that Professor Oak's idea is really ingenious. Isn't it equivalent to the two of them playing this game together?
At this moment, she suddenly realized a new problem. Yes, after all, this is a game!
So, if you post your gaming experience online and use it as a guide to help other players, you may also be able to gain some experiences and skills that other gamers have discovered but that you don't know about.

For example, the locations of hidden rewards, and special side quests. The more Cynthia thought about it, the more she felt she had opened the door to a new world, and she immediately made a decision.

After today's play, I will open a discussion thread online.
But before that, there is one important thing.

Sirona started typing again.

[Strawberry Ice Cream: Doctor, I'm looking for you this time because I have two important matters.]

【First of all, I just learned the reason why Gracitia flowers became extinct.】

Professor Oak immediately showed interest and replied with a surprised Pikachu emoticon.

Shirona then told Professor Oak all the information she had just obtained from the flower-growing sister.

After listening to this, Professor Oak seemed to have sudden enlightenment.

[If that's the case... then it's no surprise that Gracidia flowers became extinct.]

[The temperature of Tianguan Mountain has been rising continuously for a hundred years due to human activities... As time goes by, the temperature becomes increasingly higher and is no longer suitable for the survival of Gracitia flowers.]

[Oh, I didn't expect it to be this reason. What a pity.]

"Hmm... Also, what's the second thing? Please tell me about it as well."

……

[Strawberry Ice Cream: I met an NPC named Zhenghui in the game, and he said he could help me revive the fossil.]

[I just took a living fossil, and it's currently being revived.]

[Oki Yukinari: Oh, a resurrection fossil.]

Professor Oak seemed very calm about this information from Shirona.

But a second later...

[Oki Yukinari:? ? ? ? 】

What did you say? Say it again? Resurrected fossils?

He seemed to have suddenly realized that everything in this game, up to now, was not random, and all corresponded to reality!

So...work it backwards.

In the real world, isn't it possible to resurrect all those fossils... and turn them into ancient Pokémon?

This was truly shocking news for him, a researcher who had devoted many years to studying ancient Pokémon.

Faced with Professor Oak's series of questions, Shirona sighed slightly. She knew the other party would react like this.

[Strawberry Ice Cream: I'll explain the details to you over the phone later. I just found another fossil in the desert in the game.]

[Strawberry Ice Cream: I have sent you the picture, you can take a look.]

[Oki Yukinari: Okay, I'll go check it out right away.]

If he really succeeds in resurrecting the fossil Pokémon... I might need to take a closer look at the situation. I'll have to put Regirock aside for a while.

[After all, you know, this matter is really too big. ]

……

Shirona and Professor Oak exchanged a few more words and then closed the chat window. At this moment, she suddenly noticed that the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room was already flying all over the place.

So is this guy really Professor Oak? I don't think so. He's just resurrecting fossil Pokémon in a game. What's so surprising about that?

Even if the elderly don't play games much, Professor Oak shouldn't be so... fooled, right?

[Indeed, it's just a game, don't take it seriously.]

[That is, if resurrecting fossils could be realized in real life, what would it be like?]

……

Looking at the noisy discussions in the barrage, Shirona suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten to cover the chat window in the game when she was chatting with Professor Oak just now.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing that the two of them wanted to talk about just now that cannot be said.

At most, the resurrection of fossils might cause a sensation.

But looking at the audience in the live broadcast room, it is obvious that they have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

Yes, before this game appeared, resurrecting fossil Pokémon was indeed just a bold and impossible conjecture.

But once in this game, there is a case of resurrecting fossil Pokémon.
Then the way to revive fossil Pokémon must be hidden in this game!

——All of this will become a reality!
Shirona scanned the barrage of comments and did not switch back to the game interface. Instead, she opened the game rankings again and clicked on another person's account.

This account is Du, who is currently ranked second in the game progress.

As Shirona's friend request was quickly approved, a chat window popped up.

This time, Shirona dragged the window directly to a position that the audience in the live broadcast room could not see.

Because...what they are going to talk about next is something that cannot be told to anyone.

At this moment, Du didn't seem surprised by Sirona's arrival.

[Long Xi Sai Gao: You want to talk to me about that matter, right? I've been waiting for you for a while.]

【Strawberry Ice Cream: Yes, you should understand everything?】

[Dragon Saigo: ...Yes, the Ultimate Hole. So this thing is called the Ultimate Hole.]

[And those weird Pokémon, it turns out they are called Ultra Beasts. ]

[But what good does it do to know? There's too little information right now... I can't really help you.]

Sirona looked at Du's speech, her fingers hovering over the keyboard, and did not respond for a while.

The appearance of the Ultimate Hole happened 10 years ago.

The first place where it appeared was the Kanto region where Du was located.

Although in recent years, the places where the Ultimate Caves have appeared are all on the outskirts of cities and in some deserted and sparsely populated places.

But what no one knows is that the Ultra Hole actually first appeared in the center of a village in the Kanto region.

That night, countless Ultra Beasts poured out of the Ultra Cave, razing the entire village to the ground overnight.

When Du arrived there on Dragonite...
All that was left for him were the burning ruins.

Yes, no one survived, so naturally no one knew about this incident.

This incident naturally became an insurmountable hurdle in Du's heart.

Although to outsiders, Du was no different from usual during that period.

But whenever late at night, he would stand on the terrace of the alliance and smoke one cigarette after another until he finished a pack.

After this incident, Du joined the special investigation team on the original black hole, which is the Ultimate Hole.

Whenever the Ultra Hole appears in the Kanto region, he will lead the charge and stand on the front line, reaching the location of the Ultra Hole as quickly as possible, just to prevent what happened that night from happening again.

However, the Ultra Hole has become increasingly dangerous recently. The strange Pokémon that have emerged from it are becoming difficult for even the champions to resist.
There were several times when Du and his Pokémon were in battle to protect their fellow trainers, and several of his main Pokémon were seriously injured. Therefore, he was temporarily arranged by the League to rest for a period of time and not participate in matters related to the Ultra Cave for the time being.

Even when he is on a mission, the Alliance has recently tried to assign him some less important and less difficult tasks as much as possible, so that he can adjust his condition first.

This is actually why...Du has plenty of time to stay at home and play games.

Because of all the Pokémon on his body, only one Dragonite is left, which is still capable of fighting, and the others are still recovering.

But Shirona knew that even so, the matter of the Ultimate Cave was still like a huge rock pressing down on Du's heart.

Moreover, this huge rock will only get heavier.
Regarding the Ultimate Cave, Shirona herself didn't actually have any good solutions, so naturally she couldn't help much.

But now..
The situation seemed to have finally taken a turn for the better.

And the key to turning around.

——It’s this game called “Emerald”!
