Pokémon, but there is a hunter app

"...So, it's because of me?"

Lillie quickened her pace and swiftly reached the other person's side.

Ever since Alola was shrouded in light, her old friends have all disappeared one by one.

Unexpectedly, I encountered another one during the final countdown.

"Hua Ling, you're so kind~"

"Indeed... I also think I'm fine."

"Hehe~~"

at dusk

The two have returned to the Ether Foundation.

During dinner, Lillie told Gladgio and Lusamine what had happened that day.

"Did something like that happen again today...?"

Rosamina lowered her head slightly, then looked earnestly at her kind daughter.

"Since we've already warned them once, then they shouldn't go there again."

Even the island's guardian deity has abandoned them, so there's no need for us to waste our breath.

"But......"

Lillie hesitated at first, but seeing the worry in her brother's eyes and the seriousness in her mother's gaze, she nodded.

"I understand... I won't meddle in other people's business anymore."

"It's good that you understand. Although this incident doesn't have much to do with us..."

The Radiant God came to this world in search of light, which led to the current situation.

But those trainers who have been driven to the brink of despair don't see it that way.

The Aether Foundation has researched Ultra Beasts; when Ultra Beasts proliferate and become a disaster...

Then we'll become the target of everyone's anger, and if we encounter someone who's particularly agitated, they might even attack us directly.

No matter how precious other people's lives may be, protecting ourselves is the most important thing.

"......Um."

The girl stood alone outside, gazing at the calm sea. In the past, she would often see a fish-like Pokémon leaping out of the water from this spot.

Or perhaps the Pokémon birds were perched on the fence not far away, but now not a single one can be seen, not even the person who usually watches the sea with me...

And at this time indoors

Lusamine handed a specially made cell phone to Hualing with a smile on her face.

"This is a specially made, yet-to-be-released phone from the Ethereum Foundation."

It contains information about Pokémon from various regions, as well as Ultra Beasts.

Once you acquire Rotom, you can also use it as a Rotom in your Pokédex.

I've also included various data from the Ethereum Foundation in here. Now, please register your voiceprint and fingerprint.

Hua Ling followed the other party's instructions to complete the verification, while also asking some questions out of curiosity:

"I can't meet our terms, so you're giving me all this stuff?"

"The terms between us are no longer important..."

She drew back the curtains, looked at her daughter standing by the sea, then glanced at the even smaller girl beside her and smiled slightly.

"This is clearly our world... yet it requires you to risk your life to save it."

Not only am I, an adult, useless, but I also need your extra care.

Whether you use it or not, just take it. It's a technological marvel from the Aether Foundation.

In the future, the Pokédex can be updated by entering data.

At least it puts this useless adult at ease a little.

P.S.: New author, new book, please add to your favorites and recommend!

Volume 1: Chapter 41...

Into the night

Hua Ling was wearing a pair of borrowed pajamas and was playing with the Pokédex that Lusamine had given her.

Start by looking at each Pokémon one by one from Sequence 001, and learn more about them.

Lillie went to take a bath. The day was drawing ever closer, and the vast resources stored by the Aether Foundation were no longer as restricted as before...

Perhaps due to the different flow of time compared to reality, the item refresh rate in the Hunter App is too slow in this world; even my own little shop hasn't updated at all...

"Can you beat me?"

She couldn't help but ask herself this question; she said it, but she felt very uncertain.

After all, within the memories of the Guardian Deity, absorbing the light of half the region was enough to destroy the Alola region in one blow...

Just like the legendary dragon in the Unova region, which burned the entire Unova continent to the ground with fire and lightning, she felt that the legendary dragon here was probably fake, or at least heavily exaggerated.

However, in this world, the island guardians would rather coexist with Ultra Beasts than give up their efforts to fight against the radiant gods high in the heavens.

They would remain unmoved even if half the population of the Alola region were wiped out...

This attitude indicates their acknowledgment of the danger posed by that individual.

"Will they all die and disappear? Lillie, Lusamine, and Gladio?"

The thought of this possibility made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Although this world is a game, she wholeheartedly accepts its existence as a game.

But just like keeping your save file and storing the game cartridge in a box after you've finished the game, it's like...

The death of an important NPC in the story always brings her a sense of sadness.

Especially since the interaction between the live-action game characters is so realistic.

Just as she was lost in thought

The sound of electric arcs crackling echoed outside. Having done this a few times before, she knew that this sound meant Tapu Koko was nearby.

"They've arrived... Could it be..."

I mustered a little energy, got out of bed, and went outside.

Not long after she left

"Hua Ling! Quickly help me blow-dry my hair! Huh... where did she go?"

Lillie entered the room wearing pajamas and with her hair wrapped up.

After calling out several times without getting a response, they realized the person was gone.

At this point, the other person shouldn't be running around randomly.

She found her...

Bathed in light, the girl with long blue hair reached out to touch Tapu Koko.

The girl's eyes were tightly closed, and she didn't open them again for a long time. Her expression had changed slightly.

"I understand, I'll go tomorrow."

Hua Ling nodded to Tapu Koko, who responded in kind before transforming into a bolt of lightning and disappearing into the distance...

After Tapu Koko disappeared, she sensed approaching footsteps behind her.

"Tapu Koko came here for...?"

Lillie stopped a short distance behind her.

"Tomorrow evening."

"?!"

"Tomorrow night, the four Tapu will cause Lunala to re-evolve, restoring it to its original form..."

Lunala is at her strongest at night, and that's when we'll face Necrozma.

Then, it can be decided whether this region can survive this disaster.

It was a bit rushed, and I felt a little reluctant to part with it...

I gained a lot from this game, but I didn't feel the usual joy; instead, something felt off...

Hua Ling felt conflicted, and her hands, which were placed in front of her chest, unconsciously clenched tighter.

The footsteps slowly approached, and then she felt her body sway as she was pulled into an embrace, with another hand constantly rubbing her head.

"Ah... Hua Ling usually behaves so well that I almost forgot you're just a nervous little kid."

Lillie's actions were exceptionally impolite, but considering this might be the last perk before the game ended, she chose to accept it...

Memories of the past

Aside from the Pokémon-related details that I firmly remember, everything else has become increasingly blurry.

Only her name was deeply etched in her memory...

She seemed to understand that feeling...

I feel like...

"I think... I'll miss you a little."

This has nothing to do with love; every time I finish a good game, I feel a sense of loss...

However, unlike a Pokémon, the person in front of her is not a Pokémon she can take with her, nor can she play the game again like a game console by inserting a cartridge.

The thought of this made her feel inexplicably tight in her chest.

The little one in her arms made a muffled sound. Feeling the hands climbing up her waist, Lillie's body stiffened, then her smile widened.

"I'll miss you too~ Even across the world... I can still run into you, Hua Ling."

I'm so lucky! But don't worry! Whether you succeed or fail the day after tomorrow, I'll be there for you!

I'm really looking forward to traveling with you!

The two sides were completely on different wavelengths...

Hua Ling quickly distinguished between the game and reality, calmed her somewhat flustered heart, and resumed her usual calm demeanor.

"It's late, let's go back to our room."

After letting go of her hand, Hua Ling greeted her and walked towards her room.

This appearance caught Lillie off guard.

"Huh? Weren't you just being all cute and affectionate? Why are you suddenly so cold?!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Ling's walking rhythm remained unchanged; she simply listened quietly.

After returning to my room and going to sleep

"Hey~ Little Hualing~ Can I hug you when we sleep tonight? I'll be very gentle~~"

Lillie leaned closer excitedly, while Hua Ling, without opening her eyes, retorted:

"If I say no, will you not hug me?"

"of course not!"

"That settles it then..."

"Hey hey hey~~"

Lillie reached out and hugged him again. Even though he was just a little child, he made her feel exceptionally safe.

"I really want to get through this disaster, then become good friends with Hua Ling, and then travel the world together~"

"If I could, I'd like to."
