Pokémon: Legendary Pokémon Simulator, Starting with Arceus

Upstairs, Xiong Meng communicated with the person in charge and chose a design, a cute pink princess style. Once confirmed, she paid directly.

"Okay, let's change it like this. How long will it take to finish?"

"Don't worry, boss, it'll be done in three hours at most!"

Looking at the money that had already arrived in the account, the person in charge patted his chest and assured them that they couldn't lose face since the other party was so generous.

Seeing the person in charge hurriedly making phone calls to arrange for more people, he felt relieved; it seemed like he should be able to find a place to stay tonight.

Going downstairs, I saw Nazja sitting on the sofa, looking like a delicate doll, though her eyes and face remained indifferent...

"I'm going to say hello to my neighbor, do you want to come?"

"The renovation team will be here soon, and there will be a lot of people coming and going in the living room. If you're here, remember to supervise them."

Naza slowly walked behind him, and he smiled slightly, "You little brat, you can't be dealt with."

The first gift I brought to the Rockets' house was from next door, though it was a few hundred meters away.

But that's normal here.

"Ding-dong~ Hello, is anyone there? I'm a new resident of Building 136, and I've come to pay a visit."

"Coming~" Miao Meng's voice came from inside, along with the sound of footsteps approaching.

"Click~"

"Hello··

...

The brown-haired girl pushed open the door, froze when she saw Xiong Meng's face, and slowly took half a step back to close the door a little.

"Our family doesn't buy anything, and we don't do any sales. My mom is inside."

Xiong Meng: . . o

The little girl's half-step back truly hurt him.

"Pfft~"

He turned around abruptly, and Naz had already covered her mouth with a doll, her eyes indifferent as if nothing had happened.

The little girl looked over at the sound, but was startled by the look in his eyes and took two steps back. The door was now only a crack.

"Hahaha~" This time it was him who laughed.

Naz glared at him when she heard the laughter, then looked at the little girl behind the door.

Is she really that scary?!

The young girl was a little scared when she saw the other person staring at her. The two people at the door were so strange, a scary-looking uncle and a young woman with frightening eyes.

Could it be a bad guy...? I'd better close the door and call my mom.

"Don't worry, we're not bad people. We're residents who just moved into Building 136 today. I'm Satoshi Ishida, and this is my relative, Nazi."

After Xiong Meng finished speaking, he took out a Poké Ball from his pocket, and a Mudkip appeared in front of him with a red glow.

"Selling~?"

The little guy was stunned when he saw the person who was released. "Wait, who are you?"

A golden light flashed in his eyes, and Super Link said, "It's me, I've just temporarily changed my appearance. By the way, could you act cute to appease the little girl behind the door? Thanks."

Mudskipper:

He's a grown man, it's a bit inappropriate for him to act cute.

But the trainer is seeking help, and they haven't been able to get any assistance before.

"Sell (·w·)~"

Adjusting his gaze and expression, he looked both silly and cute as he raised his head and called out softly.

"Oh, so cute!" came the exclamation of the little girl behind the door.

She felt that the people outside couldn't be bad people; how could someone with such cute Pokémon be a bad person?

After trying to reassure myself, I finally pushed open the door.

"Hello, uncle and sister, my name is Xiao Lan. How can I help you?"

Xiao Lan? The Xiao Lan who was kidnapped in the special episode?

Is the protagonist of this world Red?

He didn't react for a moment until someone poked him in the waist, at which point he came to his senses. By then, Xiao Lan had already retreated behind the door.

While I was spacing out, Ziguang didn't look away, staring straight at me and startled the other person again.

"Sorry, sorry, I just suddenly remembered something." He explained, putting his things down by the door.

"These are just a small gift. We'll be going now, and we'll come back to visit again when your family is here."

Xiao Lan only opened the door and took her things back after the two had walked away, and only felt relieved after locking the door.

The strange uncle and sister... But that Pokémon was so cute, I hope I can hug it next time.

Xiong Meng wandered around aimlessly after leaving Xiao Lan's house, lost in thought.

I didn't expect to run into Blue at the first house, which means there are Red and Green here too. I'll probably meet Green at Professor Oak's place sooner or later.

That leaves only Little Red. Hmm, let's see if we can find him...

"You wretched little Red, don't let me catch you! How dare you eat the sandwich my sister made for me!"

"Hahaha, I can't catch you, I can't catch you. Besides, you brought you to my house just to feed me!"

"Who gave you the food?! I'm here to show off!"

Just as he was thinking, the sound of playing came from the side, and two little boys ran past.

Coming to his senses, Xiong Meng watched the two children, one with spiky hair and the other wearing a hat, leave. Turning back, he saw a young woman looking at the two boys with doting eyes in front of a house not far away.

After making eye contact with him, she paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

Hmm... I think I found it.

Nodding in acknowledgment, the other person went inside and, to Natsu's surprise, took out a new gift box from their person.

"If you make eye contact, you should greet each other. Now, let's choose which one to go with."

Nazi's big eyes were full of doubt. Where did she take it out from? How could she put such a big thing in her arms?

"Ding-dong~"

"You're here," the young woman said, opening the door with some surprise. "Oh, it's the gentleman from earlier. May I ask what brings you here?"

"Hello, I am a resident of Building 136. I just arrived today and came here specifically to pay a visit."

"136? I remember no one has ever lived there."

After speaking, the wife realized she might have made a mistake and quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just quite surprised."

"It's nothing, please accept this small gift."

"Hehe, thank you so much. Please come in and have a seat."

"Let's leave it at that this time. I have things to do at home. I'll visit again next time."

On the way back, Naz saw Xiong Meng's smile and said to the doll in her arms, "Don't you want to come in and sit for a while?"

"There's no need for that. Besides, it's like meeting for the first time. Who would rush home right after the first meeting? At least wait until next time."

After explaining to Naz, she nodded thoughtfully.

When I got home, the workers had already arrived. They seemed to have come in a flying sprite. I didn't see their vehicle, but all the tools and equipment were there. Three people were carrying bowls and carrying them upstairs.

Nazi chose to stay in the study on the first floor, while Xiong Meng went up to see what was different from his hometown.

"Hey, the boss's back. It'll be ready in two hours at most."

"Yes, no rush, safety first."

Xiong Meng looked at the two TuTu dogs at work and they seemed to be no different, except that they were both equally efficient at their work.

After half an hour of drawing, release the Pidgey bird to flap its wings and let it dry for another half hour, then assemble all the furniture and put it inside.

The two hours ended just in time.

"All done! Boss, just contact us if you have any problems."

"Alright, thank you all for your help."

After the staff left, Nazi emerged from the room and quietly went upstairs. Seeing the pink room, she felt inexplicably speechless.

The entire house is decorated in pink, from the carpet on the floor to the curtains on the walls and all the furniture.

Sitting on the soft, plush bed, I felt a little helpless. Just how much does this guy love pink...?

In the kitchen that evening, Xiong Meng looked at the table full of dishes and nodded in satisfaction. He was a little too tired to cook anything else, so he only prepared simple dishes such as steamed, stir-fried, and stewed vegetables.

"Naza, dinner's ready!"

There was no response, so he walked to the stairwell and said, "Dinner's ready!"

There was still no response, not even a sound of footsteps. Xiong Meng was a little worried. Could it be that his superpowers had gone off and he had instantly teleported away?

"Why aren't you answering?" Upon opening the door, I saw Naz lying on the bed asleep, her shoes still on.

Looks like I walked quite a bit today. I guess I haven't been walking enough. I need to find a way to make some friends.

"Although I don't want to bother you, it's time to eat." Xiong Meng pulled out a teacher's stick from his pocket.

He gently poked the girl's cheek.

"Hmm~"

Naza was woken up by the noise. She rubbed her eyes and got up, making unintelligible sounds. She looked around groggily, tilting her head as if trying to figure out where she was.

His eyes cleared instantly upon seeing Xiong Meng.

"Dinner's ready. I'll be waiting for you downstairs. Don't take too long."

After Xiong Meng left, Na Zi lay on the bed, covering her face: "Ugh!!!"

Five minutes later, he went downstairs and looked at Xiong Meng in disbelief when he saw a table full of food.

"What kind of look is that? Come and see how your appetite is."

The girl took a bite with some skepticism, and wow! It was delicious!

"Haha, I'll eat like this often from now on." Xiong Meng nodded in satisfaction. As expected, the food from his hometown is still the best.

After the two finished eating and tidied up, Natsu went upstairs to take a shower and go to sleep. Xiong Meng let Nido out to eat after he had already prepared the food for him: berries, energy cubes, and all kinds of nutritional supplements.

"Does your older sister usually rest outside, like when I'm at home?"

"Hoo~" is fine, but I want to be by your side no matter what.

"Okay, then we'll let them out to play during the day, and put them in a Poké Ball by the bed at night."

"Hoo~" OK

After Nido finished eating, he went into the Poké Ball. Xiongmeng tidied up his things and went into the bedroom on the first floor, casually placing the Poké Ball on the table.

After showering and changing clothes, I picked up my phone, found Zhenniao's number, and dialed it.

"Dr. Satoshi Ishida, what brings you here so late?"

"I need as many corresponding machine blueprints and physical copies as possible, not just the ordinary and best ones that are currently available, but also investments in upgrades."

...All aspects?

"That's right, not just nutrient solutions, but also the corresponding equipment and piping systems—we need everything."

"...This is far too big a task; only Boss Sakaki can decide."

Xiong Meng's statement covers too broad a scope. Modern machines are easy to use, and although the cost of a single project is high, it's still acceptable.

But upgrading is different. Every step forward on the road to technology is a money-burning process with too much funding, so she can't make a decision.

"Would it be inconvenient to contact you now? How about we contact you tomorrow?"

"It's alright. Boss Sakaki said that your matter should be reported first, regardless of the time."

"Then let's contact them right away; the sooner we decide, the better."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

A few dozen seconds later, Sakaki's voice rang out: "I'm here. Dr. Ishida, just tell me what you need."

It looks like the line has been switched.

Xiong Meng repeated what he had just said, pausing briefly: "The cost of this approach is immeasurable. Could you tell me why, Dr. Ishida Satoshi?"

"Genes are very, very small, and also extremely easily affected; the same circuitry, different temperatures..."

Different nutrient solutions yield different results.

"Even with the same circuit, temperature, and nutrient solution container, different results can lead to different outcomes. Every tiny change can cause different results."

"So I need to know the details in advance. I need to calculate all the details and then conduct precise experiments. Although this approach is tedious, it is very stable and has a lower margin for error."

"Upgrading opens up new paths and raises the lower limit, making it easier to reach the upper limit, and also opening up more avenues for research."

"I understand. This plan will proceed, but the number is too large, so we can only proceed with a portion first. You can choose which aspects to focus on first."

I completely agree with what Xiong Meng said about Sakaki. Experiments should be this meticulous, taking into account all angles. Why bother stepping into so many pitfalls?

This approach may seem to involve a large initial investment, but it will be much better in the later stages, requiring at most one or two major investments.

Researchers, researchers, that's how a calm and intelligent leader should be. Yes, much better than those researchers you keep at home.

He only discovers errors during or after experiments every day. If two out of ten pieces are usable, he considers them high-strength. The continuous high-intensity investment every year is frustrating for him.

Okay, I'll distribute this theory tomorrow.

"Can only a portion of them come? Given the size of the Rockets, that shouldn't be the case, right?" A questioning, slightly disdainful voice came from the other end of the phone.

Sakaki and Masato both fell silent. It was the first time they had heard someone complain about the Rockets' small size. Masato quickly explained.

The Rockets are a large, multifaceted company with a wide range of businesses, and their working capital needs to be calculated, so the funds for any particular project are limited.

"Isn't it still because we don't have enough money?" Xiong Meng summarized bluntly, though his words were crude.

"I remember our Rockets team has a lot of players, so why don't you expand your business more?"

"Business is not so easy to do. Many markets are already saturated and it's not easy to enter them."

"Masato explained earnestly, and Sakaki nodded in agreement."

Starting a business is not that easy. It seems that Dr. Satoshi Ishida still doesn't know enough. It's true that researchers are better off focusing on research.

"Why is it so hard to get in? Take food delivery for example, why not just open a company and forcefully take over the market? We have so many players on the Rockets team, and we're already paying salaries. How many of them can compete with us?"

"Take ordinary dolls as an example in the manufacturing industry. We can completely produce them from raw materials to finished products. We can directly buy stores to open chain franchises and quickly recover our capital."

"Our biggest advantage is that we have a lot of players and a large scale. We can directly cut costs and disrupt the market. Once the market is in chaos, we will have market share, and once we have market share, we will have money."

If it were an ordinary person, it would be one thing to care about this and that, but this is Team Rocket, the leading absolute organization that spans several regions, and an organization that has recruited several of the eight gyms and is researching Level 1 legendary Pokémon.

Although we have a lot of money now and several multinational stock companies, is that enough? Obviously not, right?

"But...but...this would be too conspicuous, too obvious..." Masato attempted a final rebuttal.

"If the target is big enough, anyone who wants to act will have to think twice. The death of a whale king in the ocean will be no big deal, but in a pond it will only cause a huge ripple effect."

"...We can't be too arrogant," Sakaki decided, and Masato breathed a sigh of relief; this was far too radical.

"The machines here still need some time to prepare. Dr. Satoshi Ishida should first write a plan for the market and pick a few simple ones to start with."

Just kidding, who is he?

Sakaki, the leader of the Rockets, is ruthless and decisive, and has almost overthrown the league or the world in various works.

This plan sounds good; let's try it out first and see if it works.

"Alright, I've made arrangements for the next two days. Mr. Sakaki and Ms. Makoto, get some rest." Xiong Meng said and then left.

Yeah, it feels good to be all about using modern knowledge. He's not thinking too much about it right now.

I just want to collect more machine blueprints and put them in the system repository. As for what the future holds?

With Red Lord around, there's definitely no problem in this world. Having more money doesn't mean you'll become stronger. After defeating him, things will be fine as they are.

Defeating them is definitely not a problem. Then the alliance can follow up and take them. The alliance can't be a bunch of pigs, looking at such a big piece of meat and not taking a bite, right?

Haha, how could that be?
