Pokémon, but cultural invasion

"Naz, why are you... wearing Officer Jenny's clothes?"
"Mr. Izumi, you are suspected of instigating Pokémon crimes. I hereby announce your arrest!"
Naz's tone was icy as she held up the handcuffs in one hand and pushed his chest with the other, turning him around.
Quanshu was pushed so that his back was pressed against the wall.
"Boom!"
She grabbed Izumi's left wrist, which was not handcuffed, and pressed it against the wall.
"You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law."
Naza looked up at him, her dark red eyes reflecting Izumi's somewhat bewildered face.
He was... pinned against a wall?
Izumi realized belatedly that Nazha seemed to want to test her acting skills again.
So he lowered his voice and said, "Give me a chance."
"I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person."
Naz's movements faltered.
This scene wasn't in the script.
She hesitated for a moment, then let go of my hand and took two steps back: "How's my acting now?"
"To be honest, it's just average, because the most important thing for an actor is their expression, and your expression doesn't change much at all."
Izumi unconsciously poked Naz's tense cheek, only realizing his offense when the soft touch reached his fingertips.
He quickly withdrew his finger, but fortunately, Naz seemed not to notice, as she was focused on her own expression.
She asked, "So, can I make movies now that I'm an actor?"
“Playing an insignificant extra role is no problem at all.”
Quanshu concealed his guilty conscience; the urban commuters in the evening didn't need any expression other than exhaustion.
He lowered his arm, touched the metal shackles on his right wrist, and couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get this police uniform and handcuffs?"
"The storage room on the first floor."
Naz took out the script and the handcuff key.
The storage room had indeed been used to store a lot of movie props a long time ago. Izumi took the script and looked through it.
The storyboard above is clearly A-Che's work.
This guy got carried away while writing the storyboard for "Crazy Elf City" and left behind a few scrapped drafts of Judy capturing Nick.
Besides the wall slam, there's also a scene where Judy pushes Nick, steps on his chest, and pulls on his collar and chain to talk to him.
Should we be glad that Naz didn't choose the latter?
"If my acting skills are just average, then forget it. I'll wait until my expressions are more varied before taking on any roles."
Naza walked up to the bathroom mirror and began to ponder her expression.
Izumi returned to her room.
Eevee, who had spent the day lounging in the villa, was happily playing Minecraft on his tablet.
"Little Eevee, you're doing pretty well lately."
Seeing Eevee dodging left and right, outsmarting Chandelure, Izumi rubbed her tail.
"Boy!"
Ibrahimovic turned around and glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed.
Because the battle had reached a critical moment, it was difficult to stop Izumi's indecent behavior.
"It feels silky smooth."
Eevee's tail is fluffy and feels very nice to the touch, probably because it has many nerve endings distributed on it, so I never allow him to touch it.
A fingertip scratches the base of Eevee's tail, and Eevee's body, which was lying on the bed playing games, immediately stiffens.
"happiness."
Izumi stroked her tail; that's the joy of raising a fluffy Pokémon.
It's worth mentioning that Ibrahimovic's account seems to be doing very well.
With the help of Qishu editing, it possesses the interesting and eye-catching quality of "Pokémon playing games".
The account 【布超人】 has gained considerable attention and popularity on Pikachu.com.
Tech video blogger Ibu, it sounds very abstract, but it has indeed achieved good results.
"Buebu!"
After finishing his battle with Chandelure, Eevee launched a Rocket Headbutt and charged into Izumi's arms, where they began to wrestle.
After joking around for a while, Izumi logged into Tingxiang's Pikachu account and posted behind-the-scenes footage of the filming of "Ratatouille".
This is a compilation of selected bloopers from the filming process, and it's full of laughs.
"I'm being unfair to everyone, I want a cell phone too."
Gastly had somehow sneaked into the room, sticking out its tongue and demanding its share with an air of self-righteousness.
"No problem, but the fee will be deducted from your actor's salary."
Quanshu took out a pre-prepared cell phone and handed it to it.
He had long anticipated that Gastly, with its intelligence and experience far exceeding that of ordinary Pokémon, would eventually become interested in human networks.
"Hehehe~ You're getting more and more pleasing to the eye, kid."
Gastly laughed heartily. It had no concept of money, but it was very pleased with Izumi's straightforward attitude of "giving what you ask for" and its high efficiency.
"How do you use this thing?"
Just as the grinning Gastly was about to ask Izumi for advice, it suddenly sensed something.
"!"
Gastly's figure vanished in an instant, hiding trembling inside a painting on the second floor.
On the first floor, Naz suddenly looked up, as if she had noticed something.
The space in front of the desk began to ripple.
Mewtwo appeared in the room without warning.
He appeared suddenly, but did not immediately take the spring tree away.
"Mew-two?"
Quanshu got out of bed and stood up, saying guiltily, "Long time no see."
"Let me ask you a question."
After not seeing it for many days, Mewtwo's purplish-black pupils, besides being violent, also showed signs of fatigue and confusion.
Its purple tail drooped to the ground, clearly indicating that it was in a bad mood.
Has the ideal of equality for all, as advocated by humanity, been achieved?
Mewtwo's voice rang out directly in my mind, just like always.
Quanshu was taken aback. How was he supposed to answer that?
After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Equality for all is very difficult, and I think it has not yet been achieved in human society today."
"But the equality of human dignity in this world should have been achieved."
"Equality of human rights?"
Mewtwo moved its three toes and walked up to Izumi no Kisaki. "What is equality of personhood?"
"Equality of personality means that all people are completely equal in dignity and value, without any difference based on factors such as race, gender, or social status."
Quanshu's answer was clear and unambiguous.
Mewtwo frowned, and the already violent deep purple energy around him became even more agitated.
"If humans can achieve equality of personhood, can equality be achieved among highly intelligent elves?"
Mewtwo's question was, as always, asked.
Quanshu immediately understood.
It seems that Mewtwo's real-life Pokémon City project has encountered some problems.
Chapter 147 An Unresolved Conflict
Elf City is a city located on a new island, completely devoid of humans, where every elf can live freely, equally, and in peace.
Mewtwo's idea is simple.
He believes that most of the misfortunes that Pokémon suffer from come from humans. If you want to solve the Pokémon's suffering, why not just remove the source?
After watching "Crazy Elf City", this extreme idea continued to grow in Mewtwo's mind, which already had a very poor view of humans.
If a world where only Pokémon exist is so wonderful, what use are humans?
To prove his ideas, the New Island Elf City Project, a testing ground where no humans exist, was launched.
Initially, Mewtwo's plan went smoothly.
Adhering to the concept that Pokémon > Humans, it copied a set of operating rules for human cities and planned to apply them to Pokémon City.
Since humans can operate under these rules for centuries, elves can certainly do the same.
Of course, this is not because He admires human creations, but simply because He lacks the ability to do so.
Even though His power can destroy the world and easily destroy countless human cities, in the end, He was born in this world only two years ago.
Although He traveled all over the world and saw all the different customs and cultures, His short time for reflection and lifespan were still insufficient to allow Him to fully understand the underlying logic of human society.
No matter how powerful He is, He cannot conjure up a vast, self-contained, and meticulously functioning utopian society that operates in a long-term cycle.
Using the operating rules of great human cities, Mewtwo built the framework of the Elf City.
He is the rule-maker, the source of all order, and the guarantee of the smooth operation of the Elf City.
Mewtwo has absolute confidence in its own strength; it represents order, and Pokémon would certainly not have the courage to deliberately violate that order.
With preparations complete, Mewtwo begins its search for "flesh and blood" to fill the Pokémon City.
He chose Pokémon with strong emotions and high intelligence as the city's residents.
Squid King, Oranguru, Alakazam, Gardevoir, Hypnos, Slowking, Foxthief...
These exceptional Pokémon, through simple training, can assume various roles in human society.
This includes entertainment tools such as mobile phones and computers that people like to use, as well as transportation tools such as cars.
Elves cannot create new tools like humans, but they are perfectly capable of using them.
Mewtwo meticulously filled every city resident with jobs, and even took into account Squidward and Slowking's love of water, placing them in the Water City.
As the skeleton and flesh were added, this moving and vibrant elven city did indeed present a thriving scene as depicted in the movie at the beginning.
Just as Mewtwo was feeling excited and preparing to bring Izumi Tree over for a visit and then conveniently destroy humanity, unexpected setbacks began to occur frequently.
Many elves have become decadent due to the influence of human short video culture; some elves are dissatisfied with their jobs and hope for easier work; due to various trivial matters in life, there are even more quarrels and conflicts among elves than in human cities.
If the above situations are minor ailments that Mewtwo can accept, then the two situations discovered later directly threaten the Elf City project itself.
First, true equality has not been achieved among the elves.
Leaving aside the differences between elves of the same race due to their job duties, individual abilities, and diligence, elves of different races are often stronger or weaker.
For example, the Squid King's Dark and Psychic attributes give it a huge advantage in an environment where most residents are Psychic-type.
With Mewtwo restraining them, the Pokémon are unlikely to start fighting.
However, in some minor matters not covered by law—such as queuing, bus seats, gym equipment, and other public resources—the Squid King has a significant advantage.
