Pokémon, but cultural invasion

Latias watched this scene with curiosity.

When the second mutation occurred, Izumi realized that the abnormality that was destroying the genes was related to the legendary spirits.

Is it that genes are being completed, or that energy is being collected?

The answer to this question is probably only known to Mewtwo.

Quanshu stroked his chin thoughtfully. What was this all about? Did he have to unlock the achievement for contacting all legendary Pokémon?

It is also unclear what will happen after the overall color change of the genes is disrupted.

However, with only a vial of genes of unknown purpose, it's impossible for him to actively seek out legendary spirits.

...

"Latias will be staying at our orphanage for a while, so please get along well with her."

Izumi announced this to a group of Pokémon that had gathered together.

The walking grasses didn't understand what had happened; all they knew was that they had gained a larger friend.

Latias's size stands out among the group of baby elves.

She loved this place, a gathering place brimming with happiness and joy, where she got to know all the Grass-type Pokémon.

"The legendary elves..."

Sitting in her wheelchair, Lanxing couldn't help but sigh, realizing that Quanshu had finally become someone she didn't recognize at all.

?

In the Unova region, in a secluded forest.

"Thank you, Bean Dove."

N sat by the window of a small wooden cabin, reaching out to take the videotape that the pigeons had brought him.

Barbena and Holina went out mushroom picking, giving N a chance to secretly finish watching the half of the movie he hadn't finished last time.

Crazy Elf City.

"Gryphon seems to be deliberately preventing me from accessing the film."

A sly glint flashed in N's dull eyes as he inserted the videotape into the player. "The world depicted is so beautiful."

"Hmm... there's also the poster for 'Ratatouille' and the upcoming 'Hachi: A Dog'."

After watching Crazy Pokémon City, N became even more convinced of one thing—the Poké Ball is a constraint on Pokémon, and also on humans.

When humans put reins on horses, the stirrups of the saddle also restrain humans.

He popped out the videotape and inserted Ratatouille.

It's almost dusk.

N became even more convinced of his idea.

"A bridge is needed between humans and Pokémon."

"I want to create a world where no Pokémon get hurt."

Chapter 176 Daigo's Visit

In early November, Xiao Yin was on duty at the entrance of the film set as usual when she suddenly heard a noisy cheer.

After the noise subsided, several crew members quietly slipped out and secretly wiped away their tears outside the set.

"What's going on here?"

As Xiao Yin looked on in confusion, the security captain patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "Filming's wrapped up, huh? As for those guys outside..."

"That's how artists are; they feel inexplicably sad when they should be happy, and when they are sad, they think of happiness and become anxious about losing it."

"I heard that this movie is very moving, so it probably touched a nerve with them."

Xiao Yin seemed to understand but not quite. He watched the actors with their arms around each other, tossing their hats and props high, clapping and taking photos, but he couldn't see Quan Shu anywhere.

The reason I couldn't participate in the wrap-up celebration was because Izumi, who is usually idle, had something serious to do.

...

"Iron dumbbell's work...this is truly amazing."

On the wooden table set up on the lawn of the orphanage, Daigo finished reading "Goodbye Eri" and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Mute!"

The enormous silver-gold metallic creature standing behind him turned its gaze away from the screen, its surprise mirroring Daigo's.

"Quanshu, Iron Dumbbell seems to be undergoing an extraordinary change around you."

Steven is the strongest Metagross trainer and one of the people who knows them best.

Unlike Metagross, which gives a calm and noble impression, these metal lumps are quite brutal, even ferocious, when they get into a heated battle.

Especially Mega Metagross after its Mega Evolution, it has a ruthless personality that will stop at nothing to win. Once it judges that it cannot win, it will not hesitate to grab its opponent and self-destruct.

In a family of Metagross monsters whose minds are filled with calculations and rules, there is an oddball who is interested in drawing.

Besides "Goodbye Eri", Daigo also watched two other works by Tetsuya Rin.

Although the story's concept and execution were not as good as the former, he felt the vigorous creativity and bizarre writing style of Iron Dumbbell.

This is something that other Metagross creatures in Zvoich Estate do not possess.

"You flatter me. Well, it's mainly because Iron Dumbbell is indeed interested in this area."

Quanshu scratched the back of his head and laughed heartily, like a parent being interviewed when their child wins an award.

Iron dumbbell's subsequent growth exceeded his expectations.

"In that case, I'm relieved."

Daigo gazed at Iron Dumbbell, who was serving as a model for Tutu in the yard, and said, "It's very happy here and has found its own path."

He believes that the two most important things for Pokémon are having a trusted trainer and finding a direction that interests them.

Whether it's battling or anything else, as long as you get enjoyment from it, that's enough.

Early winter was a bit chilly, but the Pokémon remained energetic, lazily basking in the sun.

Latias flew over, grabbed a scarf, and wrapped it around the spring tree layer by layer.

She wore a small felt hat that Quanshu had given her.

A rare legendary Pokémon came into view, and Daigo immediately recognized it, saying, "This must be Latias, the guardian deity of Water City, right?"

"Yes, she was temporarily staying here to recover from her injuries."

Izumi held Latias's triangular ears in her hands and gently stroked them, squinting her eyes as she enjoyed the touch.

As they spent more time together, he realized that Latias's occasional little actions were actually a way of seeking a reward.

Verbal praise or a grooming massage will make her very happy.

Her attitude is so much cuter than Ibu's.

Izumi Tree cherished this time and sighed, "Latias has recovered very well during this period, and I believe he will be able to return to the Water City soon."

Speaking of Water Seven, he always had a question: Where did Latias's brother go?

They haven't come looking for us after all this time. Surely they didn't go in the wrong direction or just got lost?

"Mute!"

Suddenly, the Oddityrum subtly activated its psychic powers, and Daigo followed its prompts to look towards a grove of trees.

There was nothing there, but Metagross's telekinesis outlined a pale blue figure on his retina.

Latios?

A mysterious spirit, strikingly similar to the spirit beside the Izumi Tree, is hiding behind the tree, spying on them.

Daigo saw regret, self-blame, bitterness, and unvented anger on its blue and white face.

Latios stared intently at Izumi and Latios, who were interacting intimately.

In a flash, Daigo understood everything and couldn't help but laugh.

He suppressed the slight trembling in his shoulders and smiled:

"You and Latias have a good relationship. If she hasn't returned to Water Seven by next year, I'll give you a gift."

"Gift?"

"Yes, but please allow me to remain a mystery until your answer is revealed."

Daigo laughed so hard he covered his eyes, almost losing his composure.

Izumi Tree, assuming he was just happy to see the Heart Droplet with his own eyes, got down to business: "The Heart Droplet is right here."

He opened the exquisite box on the table, and a drop of water from his heart, as blue as the sea and as clear as the sky, lay quietly on the cushion.

Dawu suppressed his laughter.

His lapis lazuli-like eyes were instantly drawn to the contents of the box, and he became completely absorbed, speechless.

After a long while, he finally snapped out of his shock at the ancient gem and sighed, "This trip was worthwhile."

"I'm counting on you to return the Heart Drop. I reckon the Canon Clan in Water City must be getting impatient."

"Yes, it was a task I took on voluntarily."

Daigo said with genuine regret, "It's a pity that it concerns the survival of a city, otherwise I would have bought it at a high price without hesitation to enrich my collection."

Izumi felt a slight stirring in her heart; Daigo was a contradictory person.

He often travels the world in search of rare minerals, but he generously gives away his collection to friends.

If you encounter him while playing a game, who wouldn't be confused?

"I'll be staying in Kanto for a while... Also, is it alright for Gym Leader Sabrina to be like this?"

Daigo suddenly lowered his voice; he had noticed Sabrina's unusual behavior when they met.

Quanshu glanced at Sabrina, who was playing frisbee with Latias, and said, "Overall, things are developing in a positive direction."

"That's good. You can tell me if you need any help."

Daigo stood up, picked up his top hat, and said, "I have to attend a banquet in Vermilion City, so please excuse me."

"Take care..."

...

Latios's feathers suddenly stood on end in the shadows, and the strangely colored giant monster glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally before leaving.

Is this a warning?

Latios clenched his claws; it was all because he was too weak.

My weakness led to my sister being captured; my weakness prevented me from breaking through to defeat humanity and rescue Latias...

After leaving Water City, he flew towards Hoenn, searching for the psychic signal along the way.

Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Galar... finally, the fluctuations of Latias were detected in the Kanto region.

Two weeks ago, he landed at this welfare home, not daring to act rashly for fear of alerting the enemy.

Latios knew his fighting strength wasn't great, so he could only observe from the shadows and look for an opportunity to take his sister away.

Contrary to his expectations of Latias being unjustly humiliated, she seemed quite happy living there.

Humans did not restrict her freedom, and her body recovered to the point where she could fly at supersonic speeds.

Why doesn't the younger sister leave?

After a long period of observation, Latios' eyes blazed with fury as he concluded that his sister had been deceived by humans!
