Pokémon, but cultural invasion

"spring!"

As the sun rises and the sky clears, the ice and snow melt away, turning into flowing water.

Old trees sprout new buds, flowerbeds bloom, and the weathered Gryphon opens its eyes.

"Crack!"

Ache grinned and said, "Everyone, the filming was excellent."

It is because of the existence of Pokémon that the changing seasons can be captured in one continuous shot, without the need for post-production, except for the props set up in advance.

"The subsequent shots of the station can all be filmed on location."

Quanshu encouraged Ache's idea. He looked around and saw that since there was no yellow line this time, countless people had stopped to watch.

Fortunately, Tingxiang's fans were quite rational; they didn't rush in for autographs or do anything outrageous.

After pondering for a moment, Quan Shu decided to cancel today's station filming. He said to A-Che:

“I have another long shot I want to shoot indoors today. You’ll have to do it yourself. Guangtai’s props team is ready.”

"That one~"

A-Che recalled the long take that Quan-Shu had planned with him long ago, and he hesitated, saying, "The problem is there is no problem, but can it really be filmed?"

"Excuse my bluntness, but the difficulty of that shot is enough to go down in film history."

A-Che rubbed his hands nervously, knowing that no one in film history had ever used such a bold shooting technique.

"Anyway, the props team has prepared everything and we've practiced many times."

Quanshu affirmed, "Our cooperation and understanding are sufficient."

What he wants to replicate is one of the most classic long takes from his previous life, from "Kidding".

"hope so."

Ah Che joked, "If it's really completed, the behind-the-scenes stories might be even more exciting than the actual film."

The atmosphere on set was great, filled with laughter and chatter.

When everyone works towards the same goal, the spirit of unity and concerted effort becomes even stronger.

Tingxiang is a group with strong cohesion.

They moved to a two-story wooden cabin film set.

The props team meticulously prepared every detail of the first-floor living room, which was full of hidden surprises.

Quanshu sat in the director's seat, while Ache personally carried the camera and stood in the center of the room.

"Are you ready?"

The questions were directed not only to the actors on stage, but also to the prop team members who were waiting behind the door.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Izumi waved.

"let's start."

......

Ache turned on the camera, and the extremely stable camera panned from left to right across Hei Kui sitting on the sofa, the Growlithe dog in her arms, and Parker walking behind the sofa.

As A-Che stood between the sofa and the TV, the camera panned to the TV, and the prop team members began to work.

They used blind spots to remove items like coffee tables, Christmas trees, and wall decorations, and even knocked over an old sofa.

Hei Kui put on the jacket that was handed to her and changed her makeup.

When the camera pans back, Black Sunflower, wearing a jacket and sporting a different hairstyle, is seen dragging an overturned sofa toward the door.

Ah Che walked around in circles, and the camera returned to the television.

At this point, a new sofa and coffee table were installed, and the camera moved from right to left toward the television.

Kumi, having changed her clothes again, placed a bare flowerpot on the bookshelf where the Christmas tree used to be.

Using the same trick again, A-Che's camera swung back, passing the television, where workers carrying hammers were dismantling the wall that had previously been decorated with wall ornaments.

The scene shifts back to the new sofa, where Black Sunflower, who has changed her clothes countless times, is leading the grown-up Gale Dog to water the lush green plant.

The camera pans past a few potted plants by the bookshelf, then returns to the television, where the old, large black TV has been replaced by an LCD TV.

The smashed-open wall expanded the space, and the Parker family was celebrating Black Sunflower's birthday in the new space, clapping their hands and blowing out the candles.

In the not-so-large living room, A-Che carried the camera in a circle, and the prop team members took advantage of blind spots to secretly switch the camera with other equipment.

The nearly two-minute long shot ends when Kuroko takes the speed dog out for a walk and reaches out to turn off the TV with the remote control.

With each camera movement, large areas of furniture, carpets, and even the appearance of walls change.

"Crack!"

Quanshu called a halt to filming, and after nearly thirty takes, they finally succeeded.

Sweating profusely and nearly exhausted, A-Che put down the camera and exclaimed, "This is really tough! I almost collapsed here from exhaustion."

He smiled again: "Fortunately, it was all done in one day."

"The remaining shots are not difficult; just let time take its course."

Quanshu laughed along, clapped his hands, and said to everyone, "It's getting late, everyone go home and rest."

"Thank you to everyone in the props team for your hard work this time."

After lifting the sofa about thirty times, Shouren's limbs were weak, but he still straightened his back and said, "Director Quanshu, it's not hard work at all!"

"See what you can do."

Guangtai said irritably that he had been in charge of a large group of people for a long time, and had shed his gloomy personality, now able to chat and laugh in a crowd.

A camera was hidden in the upper right corner of the living room ceiling, recording the entire filming process.

After extracting the video, A-Che watched it for a long time and exclaimed in amazement: "If this kind of shooting technique were put into the behind-the-scenes footage, it would be enough for directors all over the world to study for several years."

......

"A new letter from the alliance?"

When Izumi opened Sabrina's mailbox, she didn't receive a notification about the dojo inspector assessment.

Instead, it was a manhunt order issued by the City Alliance to alliances in various regions.

The Heart Drop, a treasure of the water city of Odomare, was stolen at 2:10 a.m. yesterday.

We request that all local alliances closely monitor the jewelry market to prevent thieves from selling stolen goods.

Chapter 172 The Belated Timeline

Odomare is a small, isolated island in the Metropolitan region, renowned as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, also known as the City of Water, due to its intricate network of canals.

Legend has it that the Infinite Pokémon Latios and Latias are the guardian deities of Latios, and their statues still stand at the entrance of the Alto Mare Museum.

There has long been a rumor that one of the most beautiful gems of antiquity, the Heart Drop, is hidden somewhere in Odomare.

It wasn't until the Heart Drop was stolen and the City Alliance received a request for help from Odomaree that the theft was confirmed.

Although the Johto police issued arrest warrants to alliances across the country, the Johto police in charge of the case were pessimistic about whether they could recover the Heart Drop.

Aside from the fact that the culprits were two female thieves, there were no other clues. All that was known was that the Pokémon they used were Ariados and Espeon, which was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Monitoring the jewelry market is a daunting task, and the extremely valuable Heart Drop will most likely end up in the hands of a private collector.

Quanshu stared at the Alliance's wanted poster for a long time, lost in thought.

The secret intelligence sent to the Gym Leader of Saffron City revealed that not only Heart Drop disappeared that night, but also an Infinite Pokémon, who was suspected of being kidnapped by the female thief.

He couldn't help but rub his forehead. In his memory, the Water City siblings' fighting ability was indeed not very good, but it was still quite shameful for a guardian deity to be captured on their own territory.

The intelligence contains a great deal of hidden information.

As far as Izumi knows, Ash is currently traveling in the Kalos region and it will be some time before he suffers the devastating blow of the Water-filled City. There is no reason for him to return to the Johto region under any circumstances.

In other words, in this world's timeline, the thief sisters Sana and Lian acted too late and missed Ash and his friends.

Ironically, without Ash's interference, the two who obtained the Heart Drop and the infinite Pokémon should have controlled the ancient device in Altomare and completely taken over Water 7.

But everything is calm in Water City, except for the theft of the Heart Drop. Why is that?

Quanshu was completely baffled.

The Water City is now teeming with Alliance police, and based on intelligence provided by the Canon family, they will surely seize control of the entrance to the ancient device.

Sanna and Lian have missed the best time to activate the device and have likely already left Water City.

Why does this happen?

Given their flamboyant and daring personalities, it's impossible for them not to be tempted after learning about the ancient device.

The only possibility that Izumi could think of was that the two sisters had not yet deciphered the ancient books and stone tablets of Odomare.

They regarded Heart Drops and Infinite Pokémon as ordinary expensive jewels and rare Pokémon.

This is undoubtedly a good thing.

Without the ancient devices of the Water City, the Heart Drop is indeed just a beautiful jewel, and its wandering outside will not cause any changes.

Latios wouldn't have to die from the tsunami caused by the Ancient Device going berserk; being captured is better than dying.

"what a pity."

Quanshu thought to himself, "It's a pity the movie didn't reveal the location of the thief sisters' secret base or hideout."

Otherwise, leading a group to surround them might yield unexpected gains.

Although he really wanted to help the captured Pokémon and was also quite attracted to its body, Izumi was not good at solving cases and tracking down Pokémon, so he didn't know where to start.

However, based on the intelligence he had deduced, he added an extra task when assigning the Golden City Police Department: to monitor the data flow of the ancient script database.

If the two thieves decide to decipher the code, Water City risks widespread destruction; we must be on guard.

Tracking keywords related to Ancient Kathmandu and Ancient Odomalei in online databases and chat software, and translation requests received by the Institute of Ancient Writing...

Quanshu didn't believe that the thief sisters would have downloaded the corresponding text database before discovering the stone tablet and ancient book, and that deciphering it by computer would inevitably generate a data stream.

Hired translators will leave a record with the navigator.

The scenario Quanshu envisions may not necessarily occur, but casting a wide net is always a good idea.

Once the order was given, the multi-faceted beasts belonging to the Jinhuang City Cyber ​​Police swarmed out, traversing every information tributary of the network.

Only these can constantly retrieve massive streams of information; no AI on the internet has yet emerged that can rival these multi-faceted beasts.

This made Izumi Tree very envious.

He wondered if he should get his own Polito a cyber police position while Sabrina was still employed.

"X72 Officer: Command completed. We will locate the signal source as soon as a suspicious target is detected."

Quanshu used Natsumi's account to receive reports from the police station.

She was known to the public as a woman of few words, so Izumi did not reply.

When a seed is planted, it's unknown when it will sprout.

...

In the evening, he lay on a wicker chair in front of the wooden house, while Ibrahimovic played on his phone beside him.

Miss Dean and Bulbasaur went to the lake to feed the fish. Surrounded and recommended by a group of Oddish, Sabrina squatted down to observe a newly opened wildflower.

"Boy!"

He scooped up Ibrahimovic and stroked its fur on its belly.

When the game was interrupted, Eevee gently bit Izumi's finger with its little teeth in protest.

He squinted, thinking that it would be perfect if Qi Shu were around; the four of them could play a tense and exciting game of Ludo.

Pokémon roam freely in the yard from time to time, living happily in their community.

Among the playful Pokémon, the obsessed Smeargle and the dazed Porygon stand out as particularly unusual.

Teddy the dog was engrossed in studying the starry night, while Porygon was simply bored.

It has been idle ever since the code work was handed over to the calm calculation.
