Pokémon, but cultural invasion

Nowadays, Porygon no longer needs frequent training and battles, and spends more time daydreaming.

“Some scholars say that polygons have no emotions, but I disagree.”

Suddenly, Quanshu spoke up. He pulled the polygonal beast that was floating and spinning in the air over and asked, "What are you thinking?"

The red and blue duck has a blank stare; it hardly communicates with the spring tree and simply follows commands.

He had wanted to cure the autism of the Porygonian for a long time.

"He clearly understands the instructions..."

Quanshu rubbed its head, wondering why it never showed any emotion and what it was thinking.

"Never mind, you'll be the lead in the next movie."

Upon hearing this, Porygon's black and white pupils flickered slightly; it couldn't understand what its trainer was saying.

...

As the heat of summer gradually fades, the members of the Tingxiang film crew are putting on long sleeves one after another.

Early autumn in the Kanto region isn't too cold, and thanks to the presence of Fire-type Pokémon, winter isn't too unbearable either.

The remaining filming of "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" is proceeding smoothly, and the movie poster has been released at the right time—a group photo of the Parker family with Growlithe and Arcanine.

"The poster is so heartwarming, but the movie itself is a tragedy..."

Looking at the intense reaction to the poster on social media, A-Che sighed, "I don't know if the audience can accept it."

"That's how movies are; the audience just needs to watch them. But our production team has a lot more to consider."

Quanshu comforted him, saying, "By the way, about the next movie..."

Chapter 173 I'll Take Your Lives

"You want Polygonal 2 to be the lead actor?"

A-Che's tone became sharp and distorted. He immediately realized it was a trade secret, quickly covered his mouth, and whispered, "But it's just a red and blue painted duck!"

"Not only that... Polygon is not even as good as an average actor."

He paced back and forth, gesturing to the shape of the Porygon: "It has no expression, no emotions, and it can't even think!"

"You want to cast an actor with no expression as the lead?"

Quanshu raised his hand, signaling him to calm down.

“I admit there were some personal motives involved, but it is indeed feasible.”

"Because the protagonist of the next movie is a waste recycling robot, Polymorph, after being made up and carrying some props, can perfectly portray this image."

Ache said sourly, "Is Tingxiang moving towards hard science fiction?"

He pondered that even in the golden age, few science fiction films achieved great success.

The only one that even remotely relates to the franchise, "Full Metal Cops," features the futuristic element of RoboCop.

"It's not hard science fiction; at its core, it's about the beautiful emotions of elves."

"I haven't finished writing the script yet, but I'll let you see it later."

After much deliberation, Izumi decided to indulge his spirit, though he wasn't sure if Porygon could take on the role of the lead.

But what if... Polygons, like the junk robots that have developed emotions, also develop emotions in this movie?

Izumi felt that even if the movie flopped, it would be worth it.

"Since you've made up your mind, there's nothing I can do to stop you."

Ah Che murmured, "The beautiful feelings of the elves born from the scrap robot sound quite romantic."

"Also, don't let Gastly know about this."

"If it knew I was making a movie for Polygon, it would probably throw a tantrum."

Izumi and Gastly made a promise to make a movie starring a girl from two thousand years ago.

He hadn't considered breaching the contract; he was just still deciding which movie or story to use as a prototype.

For example, "The Little Mermaid" fits the theme of a young girl who never met her lover and ended up in the Dead Sea.

"I understand, Gastly that has become sentient is not easy to deal with."

Before taking a set of shots, Ache suddenly thought of something and said, "Recently, there seem to be frequent incidents of elves attacking humans in the wilderness outside Goldenrod City."

"Aren't you living in an orphanage? Be careful going to and from get off work."

"I'm not an ordinary person, I'm a top 256 tournament trainer."

With Eevee around, ordinary wild Pokémon can't beat her.

Izumi had reviewed the case files of those Electric-type Pokémon attacks on humans; some were attacks while cutting down trees in the mountains, others were ambushes while electrofishing in rivers...

Police initially suspect that the batteries in the chainsaw and electric fishing kit attracted them, but Pokémon attacks on humans are still quite rare.

...

Wooden cabins at the welfare home.

Quanshu threaded a red rope through the keyhole structure that held the damaged gene glass bottle, tied a knot, and the pendant was complete.

He moved back from the villa, and the destructive genes were also transferred from the safe.

Quanshu took the vial of what appeared to be the destructive gene that had been reflected in the Olympic flame very seriously and always carried it with him.

But it wasn't convenient to carry it in his pocket, so he had a metal clasp custom-made to make a pendant.

The two thumb-sized metal ovals hanging on his chest might have seemed a bit out of place in his previous life, but they are quite normal in this world.

Many trainers have strange pendants, such as the black sphere on N's chest.

"Quanshu, the cyber police have sent word about the whereabouts of the Heart Drop."

Naza held her phone; she knew Izumi had been following this matter closely, so she informed him immediately.

Izumi frowned as he read the message: "Asakusa City?"

"I see. Because of the existence of the Hunting Zone, a large number of trainers from outside the city come and go every day. It's a mixed bag and a good place for trading."

Following his instructions, the Multi-Beasts lurked on the network for a long time, constantly monitoring and screening, and finally found a suspicious message on Navigator.

An archaeology student who dropped out of Yuhong University was commissioned to translate a few scattered ancient phrases.

After the translation was completed, the client wanted to collaborate further but was unwilling to upload images of the ancient book, instead requesting a face-to-face transaction.

The student initially resisted, but eventually succumbed to the lure of the large sum of money and agreed.

Then Officer Jenny came to his door, scaring him so much that he trembled with fear.

"It's not certain whether it's the real person at the moment, but the style of doing things is very similar."

Quanshu was quite confident that the ancient phrases the client requested to be translated were indeed from the Jodo region.

The thief sisters are cunning; they know how to test the students' true abilities and understand that too much information leaked online can lead to trouble.

Knowing that the Johto region was under strict surveillance, he deliberately fled Johto and chose a down-on-his-luck student as his translator.

They were also negligent, choosing the nearest Kanto region, thinking that the crowds in Asakusa City would conceal their tracks, and treating the police like fools.

"We need to go to Asahi City."

Izumi, along with Gastly and Eevee, her two strongest fighters, as well as the unpredictable Sabrina, excitedly headed to Fuchsia City.

He informed A-Xing, the owner of the Shallow Red Pavilion, who was willing to cooperate.

If the two gym leaders were truly the thief sisters, they could be quite proud of themselves for sending two gym leaders to help.

...

The next day at noon, at a fried noodle shop at the Asahi City dock.

An archaeology student with a buzz cut and square-framed glasses sat nervously drinking warm water at a wooden table in the corner.

"coming..."

A kilometer away, on the tablet in the spring tree, the signal source that cyber police officer Junsha had located was approaching the fried noodle shop.

The signal source first circled around the area a few times to make sure there were no problems before entering the store.

"Sister Sanna, is it him?"

As soon as the two sisters, wearing sunglasses and sporting elaborate hairstyles, entered the house, their eyes were immediately drawn to the timid, buzz-cut man in the corner.

The tall woman with bright red lipstick and spiral blonde hair whispered, "That's right, exactly the same as in the photo."

Lian, with her shoulder-length silver hair, walked leisurely to the wooden table, sat down, picked up the menu, ordered fried noodles, and then spoke:

"Is this Mr. [The Three-Groundhog Who Digs Through History]?"

"That's right, you are the [Shining Twins], right?"

The student with the buzz cut swallowed hard, his face flushed as he stammered, having never spoken to such a beautiful woman before.

Sanna's eyes, hidden behind her sunglasses, were full of disdain. She placed a wad of banknotes on the table and said, "This is a deposit. Once you complete the translation for us, the payment will be doubled."

"But...but I don't want the money..."

The student with the buzz cut swallowed hard, looking extremely embarrassed.

Sanna and Lian exchanged a glance. This man was extremely lewd. If he didn't want money, then he must be lusting after their beauty.

Suppressing her disgust, Lian raised an eyebrow and glared coldly: "If you don't want money, then what do you want?"

"What I want...hehe..."

The student with the buzz cut grinned, a gaping fissure stretching from the corner of his mouth to his ear, and let out a sinister laugh: "I'll take your lives!"

"not good!"

Sanna and Lian's expressions changed simultaneously, their faces turning pale with fright at the horrifying and bizarre scene before them.

The next second, the two, under Gastly's "hypnosis," collapsed onto the wooden table.

"What's going on? Is that all?"

As the wall plaster slipped down, Ah-Xing, dressed in a ninja outfit, complained, "I wanted to show off in front of Master Natsume and Director Izumi."

Maybe she can even persuade Izumi to make a ninja movie for her.

Chapter 174 Latias

"Gu...Kill me."

"I won't say anything."

On the interrogation table, illuminated by cold white light, Sanna and Lian were handcuffed, the latter gritting her teeth.

"It doesn't matter, I wasn't planning on asking anyway."

Quanshu held a crystal-clear, deep blue sphere in his palm, with speckled spots swirling within, like the rising tide of the sea.

He exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect you to carry the Heart Drops with you. This saves you a lot of trouble."

The Heart Drop is an exclusive item for Latios and Latias, and also the key to controlling the Water City.

Seeing her only two chips being played with in someone else's hands, Lian's eyes turned red with anger. She growled at her sister beside her:

"I've already told you not to carry stolen goods on your person, but you just wouldn't listen. Do you really like jewelry that much?"

Sanna's sorrow paused for a moment. It's human nature to love beauty; who doesn't want to dress up in a dazzling and beautiful way?

The most beautiful gems should be on the most beautiful people, even if only for a moment.

Instead of standing by her sister through thick and thin, the younger sister turned around and accused her, retorting, "Isn't it your insistence on interpreting the legend of the heart's drop that brought this disaster upon us?"

“If we had honestly sold it, we might be enjoying ourselves at a beauty salon in Miaret right now.”

Lian slammed her hand on the table: "You vain fool! Whoever controls the Heart Drop controls the Water City, and that power can even rule the world!"

"You're actually telling me you're going to sell it?"
