Pokémon, but cultural invasion

He was so good at disguising himself that he almost forgot his true nature.

"waste!"

He picked up a vase and smashed it on Shi Long's head, causing blood to gush out.

Quixote cursed, but not at Shi Long in front of him.

"Smura is trash; he can't beat one of their three movies!"

"Azura is useless; his foolish suggestion to destroy the Dark Trio is a disgrace!"

"The Dark Trio is even more useless; they can't even kill a third-rate trainer."

While hysterically cursing, he picked up an ashtray and smashed it repeatedly on Shilong's bloodied head.

When the latter was on the verge of death, Quixote cut open his cheek and stuffed an ashtray inside.

The gushing blood was warm, splashing onto Quixote's cheeks, but he was oblivious.

"It's a pity that my cruelty and violence can only be left in this room. Once outside, I must be a wise and mighty leader."

Quixote muttered to himself, then took out his knife and slashed at the corpse at will.

Until the stone mound on the ground was covered in blood and gore.

He then stood up and gave a smile.

"You can't be so angry."

"Forget yesterday when the sun rises."

Chapter 135 Subduing Sabrina (Sorry for the delay)

“My grandson has been very persevering since he was a child, or you could say he’s a bit slow on the uptake.”

"The teacher assigned the task of observing insect silk. Either a caterpillar or a unicorn could be used, but he insisted on the unicorn. He even went to the colony of beetles and came back with a huge bump on his head."

“He’s a bit slow. He needs to learn things several times before others can learn them in one go. I taught him how to tie his shoelaces more than ten times. Finally, I couldn’t stand it anymore and beat him up.”

"The only thing worth praising is his love for Pokémon; he loves every Pokémon in the orphanage just the same."

"So when this brat asked to go on a trip when he was thirteen and didn't want to inherit the orphanage, I didn't stop him."

"Because I know that no matter what I say, I can't change his mind."

"He's too stupid. How could his journey have been smooth? He must be struggling somewhere right now."

"If that brat ever comes back, he'll definitely slink back home, so don't give him a hard time."

"Only when you fall hard enough will you think about how to avoid falling again when you get up."

Lanxing didn't say the last two sentences.

"Was he stupid? He's actually quite smart now."

Nazi was surprised. If Quanshu, the person in charge of Tingxiang, was considered stupid, then there weren't many smart people left in the world.

"Yes, so after I saw him in person, I felt that his account differed from what Master Quan had said."

Lanxing's words piqued Nazi's interest even more, and she asked, "What's the difference? Are there any particularly big changes before and after?"

But this time, Naz asked her questions, and she brushed them off.

Seeing that Lanxing had no intention of continuing the conversation, Nazi was somewhat disappointed.

She was actually very curious about what had happened during the years that Izumi was away from Kanto.

When I first met Izumi, I could clearly see his future.

When we met again, it was too late to find out anything.

He did undergo some kind of peculiar change during the years he disappeared.

A short while later, Izumi returned to his seat after dealing with the harassment from the Electric Gym Leader.

"Why are you all looking at me? Look at the screen."

The group looked away.

As Izumi sat down, a thought crossed his mind: would these people be gossiping about him while he was gone?

The lights go out.

"The movie is about to start."

"I shot the opening scene, and I'll shoot the scene with the spring and tree later."

Ah Che rubbed his hands together and said to the two people beside him, "That was a freeze-frame shot, it's hilarious."

Jasmine said disdainfully, "You've already spoiled the plot, what am I supposed to watch?"

"Then I'll shut my mouth."

Ah Che looked constipated as he watched the film gradually begin.

Soon, everyone present became completely absorbed in watching the film.

Quanshu was an exception. He followed the entire filming process, knew the script inside and out, and had seen the sample footage of the Metagross monsters with special effects added.

The reactions of the people around me were more interesting than those in the movie.

Naz, focused, cast a shadow under her eyes with her eyelashes.

For her, Ratatouille was the first movie, and Ratatouille was the second.

Quanshu couldn't help but marvel at how well she ate, without having to sample the large portions produced by the world's film industry.

It was her first time going to the movies, and Izumi was worried that Nazi wouldn't be comfortable in a crowded environment, but she was overthinking it.

Humans have a strong capacity for growth and adaptability.

The big screen suddenly went dark; it was a transition.

Naza turned her head and met Izumi's gaze.

"Why are you watching me if you're not going to watch the movie?"

"..."

Quanshu whispered, "I'm the director, I've already seen it."

"Then why did you come to the cinema to watch it again?"

Nazi was puzzled; she genuinely believed that Izumi wanted to watch the movie she had made.

Quanshu explained helplessly, "What's important isn't doing a certain thing, but the person you do it with."

"You might not understand if you haven't read books, but humans are the kind of creatures that even go to the toilet in pairs."

Naz frowned slightly. She felt that the comment "you've never been to school" was a bit harsh, even though it was true.

"Most things are more fun to do with friends."

"So you invited a bunch of friends to watch a movie together?"

"of course."

Quanshu's explanation left her speechless, because Naz had few friends.

She looked back at the big screen, wondering if she would want to do something with Ki-ki when he returned.

I can't imagine...

Quanshu turned to observe the Dean's daughter.

She's just as bad as Naz, this should be considered her third time watching a movie, the first time in an orphanage, the second time in a welfare home.

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes sparkling with light and shadow.

His face, which always carried a certain aloofness, had completely lost its usual coldness, and he even breathed very softly.

For a long time, the headmistress didn't notice him.

Bored, Izumi glanced at Jasmine, whose mind was completely absorbed in the screen, her hands mechanically gripping popcorn.

Ah Che and Guang Tai were always laughing and joking, sometimes whispering to each other.

As the movie continued to play, the audience, whose emotions were rising and falling with the plot, would never have guessed that the main creative team was among them.

...

Xiao Mi returned to Xiao Kuan and Tian Jie's side with the God of Cookery's will in her mouth, and the story seemed to have entered a happy ending.

Unable to perceive the passage of time, Lanxing mistakenly thought it was the end and subconsciously looked at Quanshu.

"what happened?"

"...Nothing, is the movie about to end?"

"It's still early, we've only just begun."

Quanshu whispered, "How can it be considered a movie if it doesn't include some scenes of life and death?"

"However, I do have a question for the Dean."

"...ask."

"You don't seem to have any Pokémon to tame, even though it's rare to see them working at the orphanage."

Izumi finally asked the question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.

Generally speaking, even ordinary people will choose one or two Pokémon to accompany them.

In a world where everyone keeps cats and dogs, it would seem strange not to have a pet.

Lanxing said calmly, "I manage a Pokémon welfare center and don't need my own Pokémon."

"I don't think that reasoning holds water."

The spring tree tilted its head.

Thinking about it carefully, the director is a very strange person; she treats all the Pokémon in the orphanage the same.

But people always have preferences; how can there truly be an unbiased liking?

"Never mind, it's fine if you don't want to answer. I was just asking casually anyway."

Seeing the conflicted look on Lanxing's face, Quanshu stopped trying to find the answer to the question.

...

Before the real ending arrives, Xiaomi bursts through the trunk and races towards the God of Cookery restaurant.

Do you still want to hear the answer to the question we just discussed?

Perhaps influenced by the atmosphere of the movie, Lanxing stared straight ahead and said softly.

"I definitely want to, but don't force yourself."

Quanshu sat up straight, listening attentively.

All I got in return was a single sentence.

"I don't think I can be happy, so I don't want to make the Pokémon around me unhappy."

That was the only reason the dean gave, a completely nonsensical statement.

She didn't reveal any further reason until the movie ended.

"What a great movie!"

Jasmine was excited at first, then her face fell.

The animation I was in charge of was far inferior to Tingxiang's films.

After leaving the movie theater, Izumi treated everyone to popsicles.

When we took Lanxing back to the orphanage, it was the second to last train.

Why can't we achieve happiness?

Quanshu thought about it for a while, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to ask.

Sabrina's unreliable superpowers finally worked once, teleporting him from the orphanage back to the villa.
