Pokémon, but cultural invasion.

This scene amused the audience.

Trying to catch a Goomy with a bug net? You can't even catch a Caterpillar.

Two of the curious teenagers even stopped and started pulling at the fabric covering Lali's body.

Take your hand off!

The dirty hands and warm skin undoubtedly belong to a real person.

"This is insane!"

Larry watched incredulously as various exhibits came to life, sparking a riot inside the museum.

The bizarre and fantastical scene was also an extremely chaotic spectacle in the eyes of the audience.

Xiao Gang and Li Jia's expressions were priceless; they rarely use the phrase "chaotic and chaotic" to describe a movie.

Xiaoxia even had time to glance back at the group of people in suits in the back row, who were taking notes in their notebooks.

Film critics and small-time journalists... they won't write that Izumi is making random movies, will they?

Xia had no empathy for Larry's experience, so she developed unnecessary worries.

The sudden sound of characters' dialogue drew her attention back to the screen.

"You're the new night shift security guard?"

At the end of the procession of the Washing Green Wild Men was a young girl wearing a red scarf.

Unlike other jade washers who are loud and boisterous, she appears gentle and quiet.

Larry was quite frightened when the savage suddenly spoke in human language.

He asked in surprise, "You, a jadeite trader, can speak Mandarin?"

"Surprised?"

Xiao Zhao tightened her scarf and retorted, "If the exhibits can come to life, why can't I speak?"

Upon seeing the only exhibit he could communicate with, Larry didn't bother to investigate further. He eagerly asked, "What's going on here?"

Xiao Zhao didn't answer immediately; she continued introducing herself.

"The most exciting creatures on the first floor are the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Pteranodon, which were the kings of the land and sky in ancient times, respectively."

"The Washing People who tried to capture the Sticky Dragon with mud balls were the same people in the past."

She spoke as she walked forward.

Confused and unsatisfied with the lack of an answer, Larry chased after them.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly felt a sharp pain on my face.

Dozens of thin, delicate arrows shot into his face, while a group of tiny men tripped his feet with ropes as thin as dental floss.

Larry lost his balance and fell straight into the sandbox.

"The sandbox booth for 'Ideals and Realities' simulates the ideological war in the Unova region 2,500 years ago."

"A pair of twin brothers split up due to their differing ideologies, which eventually escalated into a war that swept across the entire region, and the legendary dragons they worshipped were also drawn into it."

Xiao Zhao's introduction seems a bit late; Larry has already been tied up by well-trained troops.

"Hey, giant, if you want freedom, win that war for us and crush the real army!"

The leader of the petty men loudly proclaimed their ideals, attempting to urge the giants to act.

A commotion arose in the distance.

"Oh no, the real army is attacking!"

The two sides clashed fiercely, lightning crackled and sparks flew as arrows rained down.

Larry was too large to be hit by arrows that missed their mark in the center of the battlefield.

Enraged, he strained, and the hemp rope, as thick as dental floss, snapped completely.

A majestic giant rose from the ground, and both sides in the battle stopped simultaneously.

"Giants will bring disaster to this land."

"Eliminate unstable factors."

The two armies, which had just been fighting to the death, inexplicably reached a truce and turned their attention to attacking Larry.

The bowstrings twanged in succession.

"Wait, why are they all hitting me?"

Lacking historical knowledge, Larry was disoriented and retreated while dodging arrows.

Xiao Zhao pulled him away from the real-world sandbox and escaped that miniature world.

The scene of being chased by tiny creatures the size of a thumb is so absurd.

But the audience, who had been immersed in the film since its opening, found it all quite reasonable.

Chapter 68 Young directors are really daring!

Carl was once a professional film critic.

Film critics are those who praise some works to the skies while denigrating others as worthless.

He happens to excel at the latter.

After the golden age of cinema ended, all new films were deemed worthless, and film critics became obsolete.

Therefore, when he received the notification for the preview screening in Tingxiang, he discovered that the young director had not given him any gifts.

Carl's right hand, which had been retired for many years and used exclusively for writing scathing satirical commentary, is showing signs of a resurgence.

The film's protagonist is unconventional, and the first five minutes, interspersed with flashbacks using a unique filming technique, successfully resonated with ordinary viewers.

However, this also makes the overall atmosphere of the film heavy and oppressive, indicating a lack of overall vision from the director and a sacrifice of too much for local effects...

If it weren't for its unconventional approach to character-driven narratives, Carr's writing would be even more ruthless.

His expression changed as the exhibits in the museum came to life one by one.

[A museum where exhibits come to life every night avoids the dull displays and dry textual explanations of history films, making this movie successful in terms of entertainment.]

When the entire museum comes alive, you can see extinct Pokémon walking among them and talk to historical figures, perhaps providing a new way to popularize historical knowledge.

Carl wrote more and more slowly, spending more time watching movies.

This struck him as incredible.

"How many years has it been since I was captivated by a movie?"

Carl was reluctant to admit it, so he picked up his pen again: "[It's good to consider entertainment, but we can't ignore rationality.]"

The way the movie exhibits were brought back to life wasn't the ghost-type sprite prank I expected, which was surprising.

However, if the film cannot provide a self-consistent explanation, it will undoubtedly create huge logical flaws, leading to an overall failure...

Everyone except him was glued to the screen.

Following Xiao Zhao's footsteps, Larry entered a temple decorated in a strong ancient style.

The X-shaped tree, adorned with the eternal flower, is radiating seven-colored light.

Xiao Zhao pointed to the light source and said, "The root of all the turmoil is this glowing thing that looks like the Flower of Eternity. The ancients called it the ultimate weapon."

"The ultimate weapon?"

"That's right, it's the one you're thinking of, the ultimate weapon that once took countless lives in the Carlos region, and can also grant eternal life."

Xiao Zhao said casually, "It was unearthed in Shixiang Town two hundred years ago and was sold to this museum as an ordinary antique."

"That night, everything in the museum came to life, and it happened every night after that."

"And your job is to make sure that everyone who comes back to life stays in the museum."

...

The ultimate weapon? There's such a thing?

Xiaoxia's eyes widened. How come she had never heard of this before?

She discreetly observed the reactions of the others, and everyone except Lijia was completely bewildered, which immediately put her at ease.

As long as you're not a complete country bumpkin, it's understandable that you might not be familiar with obscure historical records.

Several film critics were also quite surprised, and they discussed it excitedly in hushed tones in the back row.

Compared to ordinary people, they need to consult materials frequently because of their work, which broadens their knowledge considerably.

They were discussing in hushed tones the plausibility of the final weapon's design.

The legend of Xerneas grants the ability to share eternal life, and coupled with the ultimate weapon, the extended effects seem particularly plausible.

Carl, sitting in the last row, wanted to retort, but his pen seemed to have its own ideas.

This film is weaving a magnificent dream for its audience with its boundless imagination.

When Karl saw the words written down, he was stunned.

What is he writing?

However, he has no intention of making any changes for the time being, because Carl is looking forward to the continuation of the story.

How can Larry, a third-rate trainer, manage a huge museum with all sorts of ancient Pokémon?

...

"The exhibits in this museum cannot leave the museum, otherwise, when the sun rises the next day, the exhibits that have lost the protection of the eternal flower will turn to dust."

Xiao Zhao continued, "You wouldn't want the exhibits in the museum to just disappear into thin air, would you?"

She glanced at the clock: "Alright, it's almost dawn."

"Go find Hezer from the expedition team. He will help you restore order, but remember, he will only help you once."

Seeing a glimmer of hope to end this farce, Larry, unwilling to give up his hard-earned job, nodded repeatedly.

When he found Hezer, the man was leading the exploration team out.

"Wait, where are you going?"

He first politely removed his hat, then replied, "The Great Pit of Parthia, Zone Zero."

"But this is Tamahiko City in the Kanto region!"

Larry found it absurd that these statues actually had a goal of exploring the Paddy Pit.

"Ok, I know."

Haizhe pointed to a large circle on the map: "We need to take a boat first, starting from Vermilion City..."

Seeing Larry's increasingly grim expression, Haizhe clapped his hands and laughed, "Alright, enough joking, we're not leaving the museum."

"But remember, I will only help you this once."

He rode a motorcycle lizard, leading Larry through the museum, meticulously untangling the chaotic scene and returning the exhibits to their original positions.

When the sun rose the next day, Heizhe returned to his rightful place.

As sunlight streamed into the museum, he said to Larry, "Don't give up easily. Everyone has their chance to shine."

The next second, Haizhe, who was holding the motorcycle lizard, froze, reverting to his original deep and rigid gaze.

The museum quieted down, as if last night's chaos was just a pipe dream.

Larry was left alone, clutching his head, worrying about what to do the following night.

His deep thought prompted viewers who had previously sympathized with him to offer him advice.

Xiaoxia pouted and said, "We need to find a dojo master to help him keep things in check."

"No, if all the exhibits were to come back to life, there are memorial statues of past champion teams in the lobby on the first floor."

Xiao Gang stroked his chin and said, "You need to find Adu."

Lijia glanced at the two of them; they were really getting into the movie.

She's different. If it were her, she would choose to quit the job directly. Why risk your life for a monthly salary of 3,000?
