Ditto doesn't move

"Quack! Producer, I'm going to kill you!"

However, it's as if we foresaw the current situation.

The producer disappeared without a trace from the day of release.

Compared to the chaos online, the situation in reality should be better.

It's like people walking on the road and bumping into each other's heads. Even if they do, it seems like there won't be any arguments; they'll just keep walking forward with empty eyes.

Ah, the streets are so quiet.

As Lillie walked to school with her little backpack on her back, a thought suddenly popped into her head.

Passing by the park that children usually love, I finally felt a touch of life.

The innocent and naive children, who didn't yet know what games were, laughed and built sandcastles, imitated Pokémon, and argued about whose moves were more powerful.

Too noisy.

Oh, right!!!

"Kids, would you like to hear a happy story? I have one here..."

A wicked thought, like a gene, was passed down from her mother to Lillie.

Oh no, oh no!

Lillie shook her head violently, as if trying to shake off such wicked thoughts, and slapped her face hard with both hands.

We mustn't let those Soul Hall elders online infect us!

Elder of the Soul Hall.

A trending internet term that suddenly became popular after the game's release, usually referring to a group of people:

After playing games, it feels like a huge hole has been dug out in my heart. I feel idle and extremely empty. The more I see people who know nothing and have a smiling face, the more twisted my heart becomes.

They'll use every despicable means imaginable, even offering the game for free, just to get the other person to play with them.

Then you see the other person looking at the screen where they've cleared the level, making the same expression as you, and then letting out a strange, clamorous laugh.

The streets are so quiet; this is the result of the Soul Hall elders' efforts.

Ah, I really want to see these delicious little kids crying their eyes out.

Another dark and twisted thought emerged from the depths of her heart.

No, I can’t think about it anymore!

This is a contagious attack!!!

Quickly shift your attention!

Lillie noticed a familiar figure sitting on the small swing in the park, head bowed.

She forced a smile, preparing to greet her friends and try to warm her empty heart with their warmth, but they noticed her first:

"Lillie, when did you arrive? Oh, it's the first day of school today."

"The sun is shining brightly today. Last time Togodemar poked my butt, luckily I was wearing pants...hehehe~"

"I haven't introduced it yet. This is my partner, the forest lizard."

"Forest lizard, no, no, I just charged you up this morning, how come you're hungry again? Hehehe, waaaaah~"

"Lillie, why are you ignoring me, your partner? Aren't I perfectly normal?"

"I'll share a Malasada with you. Look at its yellowish-green color, it must taste delicious!"

The chubby, vacant-eyed scientist pulled something out from behind him.

Upon closer inspection, wow, it turned out to be a computer that had been disassembled in half!

Lillie seemed to realize something, and looked at her classmate with a sad expression:

"Mama, so you've already put in so much effort?"

As if startled, the chubby boy suddenly screamed and clutched his head:

"what!!!!"

"It failed! It failed! It failed! It failed! It failed!"

Image: "Failed", Location: "Images/1736135183-100422757-112528657.jpg"

"I have failed to meet everyone's expectations! I have let everyone down!"

"What is that code?! Why is it completely undecipherable, like a Pokémon's body?!"

"This approach offers no way to escape a hopeless future; we can only accept the predetermined fate!!!"

"There must be a way! There must be a way!"

"Cassiopeia, Tetsuya, Denji, Clifton, and everyone else... did you all succeed?"

"I can't stay here! I can't stay here! I have to pass on the clues I've obtained to you!"

"42! It's 42!"

"The key to everything is at 42!"

Stumbling and clutching her laptop, Mamane nearly went mad as she rushed out of the park, attracting the curious gazes of the children.

It was only then that Lillie noticed that what she had initially thought were sand sculptures made by children were actually...

—It's Kaki!

With hands clasped together, may you have peace and joy.

The face of the usually passionate and outgoing Aloraman men was now etched with a serene calm born of profound understanding.

It seems that even if mischievous children bury it in the sand, it's nothing more than a speck of dust in one's heart.

There was no ripple effect; in fact, I almost wanted to laugh.

he!

He has attained Buddhahood!

“Benefactor, why don’t you sit down and meditate with me?”

As if sensing Lillie's gaze, Kachi opened his eyes, nodded, and said:

"All beings suffer, but by practicing Zen, I can be spared the pain of wasting my life. Come, give it a try."

Accompanying his words and actions was a torrent of sand and the children's disgruntled cries: "Big brother, don't move around!"

"Kiachi, have you become like this too? At least, what about the professor and Ash? Have you seen them?"

Lillie, suppressing the emptiness in her heart, asked:

"It is said that shrines have appeared in the Alola region, and they have gone to look for them."

Seemingly having foreseen a sorrowful future, Buddha Kachi clasped his hands together, lowered his compassionate eyes, and said no more.

Ah, hahaha.

Lillie let out a dry laugh that was hard to decipher, and then turned around.

The immense emptiness made Lillie's world seem like a demonic realm.

That's good, at least I don't have to go to school today.

Otherwise, I'd better go back to sleep.

Maybe when you wake up, everything in front of you will just be a nightmare, and none of it will have happened.

Staggering to the end of the road, Lillie suddenly realized that she seemed to have taken the wrong turn.

Instead of going to their own home, they walked to the war ruins behind the town of Lili.

Something suddenly touched my heart.

"Kapoo is the guardian spirit of the island, so it must know where that person went."

Recalling the heart-wrenching messages I saw online, recalling the madman Mamane and the enlightened Kachi.

Lillie hardened her gaze and stepped into the pitch-black darkness.

PS: Hehehehehe

Volume Two: The Grand Alliance Chapter 89 An Angel (Big Lie) Descends By My Side

Let me introduce myself again.

My name is Mizuki, I am 16 years old, and I live near Route 1 in Lily Town. I recently moved to Alora and I am unmarried.

Image: "The True Protagonist of Alola", Location: "Images/1736152812-100422757-112529194.jpg"

I worked as an assistant at the Yamanashi Research Institute and earned my doctoral degree at the age of six. Because my research focused on Poison-type Pokémon, I earned the unpleasant nickname "Miss Poison."

I don't like daytime, but I practice archery occasionally.

Every day, I must go to the ruins of war to find new materials to complete the recipe that will enhance the power of my poisonous attacks.

After producing the highly toxic substance, we will thoroughly clean it up to ensure that no toxic components are leaked out.

Miss Junsha praised my treatment skills as being exceptional.

The reason for saying this is...

I saw.

I saw the man who was the root of all evil.

I saw him enter the war ruins that night, and then he never came out again.

I want to clarify that I am someone who always seeks inner peace.

Even though a month has passed since we moved, and most of the suitcases my mother brought are still unopened, I won't deliberately expose the fact that she's lazy.

Don't be fixated on winning or losing, and don't get caught up in worries.

...Do you think I would say that?

Producer!

I have overcome my past cowardice!

Perhaps it was the will of Arceus at work; the world line had already begun to collapse in an uncontrollable direction, but the coincidence of fate led the two girls to step onto the battlefield of destiny one after the other.

This time, however, the person in charge of the evil plan has changed from Lusamine to someone else, another terrifying figure unlike any other.

boom! ! !

A huge hole suddenly appeared in the sky.

The Aether Foundation's Ultimate Hole observation device, located in the distance, broke through its numerical limit at that moment.

It has appeared! A super-powerful Pokémon that surpasses even Ultra Beasts!

A Pokémon with a nebula-like appearance fled in panic from the giant hole.

The colors of the gases that make up the body range from light blue to purple, like a spectrum, and it has pale yellow eyes and round blue cheeks.

Both the upper and lower body are inlaid with a golden semi-circular hook, and there are two cloud-like extensions that constantly shimmer with starlight in the position of the ears.

With a trail like a shooting star, it startled a large flock of bird-like Pokémon living on the mountaintop, which flew towards the ancient wooden bridge of the war ruins.

However, Lillie in the arena had not yet noticed the change above her head.

At this moment, his empty eyes were burning with intense emotion.

"Saigoni Hi Iron Duck!"

He came here without telling anyone since the release date, and even broke the record for absenteeism that had never been broken since he started working.

That's exactly the kind of expression I wanted to see!

Standing on the other side of the log bridge, Xia Ming, the Martial God, made a twisted expression that looked like he was having an unbearable time, his finger pointing towards his temple.

Judging from the veins popping out on his face, you could tell how much he was struggling to hold back his laughter.

He truly is the Soul Hall Elder among Soul Hall Elders!

Even the trend of the term "Elder of the Soul Hall" was secretly started by him in the dark, in the internet, a place where identities cannot be exposed!
