Pokémon, but cultural invasion.

See, this is people's attitude towards clones.

Even if they retain their original consciousness and memories, they will be treated as outsiders and guarded against.

Look at this terrible world.

Chapter 118 Once a clone, always a clone

Hiroshi's plight annoyed Mewtwo, who swung its tail in frustration.

The family members who were so kind and friendly when I left home this morning now look at me with suspicion and distrust.

Hiroshi's inner self remained completely unchanged; only his appearance changed.

If his clone identity is exposed again, he will probably suffer even worse treatment.

Clones with the original's memories are still not well-received, and He... an unexpected product reconstructed from a fossilized eyelash, born from a blank slate, is even more sinful.

Sometimes Mewtwo wonders if it had been born with dreamlike memories, would it be less troubled than it is today?

But such thinking is meaningless, because once you are a clone, you will always be a clone.

Therefore, He did not understand why Hiroshi, a robot who was also a clone, would ultimately make that choice.

Mewtwo sat quietly in the last row, staring at the screen, while Hiroshi was overwhelmed with worry because of the changes in his body.

...

Why did this happen?

Hiroshi sat on the wooden steps in the backyard, his hands covering his head: "How am I going to explain this to Misae and Aoi when they come back from their parents' house?"

Excited, Shin-chan checked him over and over, and found a row of small buttons on his arm.

"We've discovered the mysterious power of the robot dad!"

When Shin-chan pressed the first button, the robot's fingers transformed into electric toothbrushes.

The second button caused Hiroshi's lower body to spin, and a strong wind blew grass clippings flying everywhere in the yard.

"Oh, an electric fan!"

Like an experiment, Shin-chan sometimes turns Hiroshi's feet into a vacuum cleaner, and other times a radio comes out of his mouth.

"They're all so ordinary."

Disappointed, Shin-chan couldn't help but complain that he preferred the iron fist and laser beam that could be fired.

The last button fell off Hiroshi's ear like a remote control.

Shin-chan remotely controls Hiroshi the robot, making him move quickly around the yard, just like he's manipulating a toy car.

After all that, Hiroshi felt a deep sense of mental exhaustion.

But he was not discouraged; even after becoming a robot, he would continue his life.

Use a robotic arm to pull weeds from the backyard, transform into shears to clear away excess branches, and cut wood to build a toy house for the slippery boy.

Improving the roof's drainage pipes and repairing the antennas for receiving television signals are also within our capabilities.

He even worked part-time as a chef, taking care of family dinners.

The deliciousness of the food surprised Bay Leaf and Electric Dragon.

Wearing a wig and heavily disguised clothes, he continued to go to work as usual, and his soaring work efficiency impressed his colleagues.

Interspersed throughout the scenes, viewers can see that Laurel Leaf and Electric Dragon's attitudes gradually soften.

Their guard was gradually lowered, and the trainer they knew seemed to have returned.

At night, Hiroshi would gently press the green buds around the neck of the laurel leaf.

"You've liked having this spot pressed for a long time because it relieves stress and fatigue."

He still drank with the electric dragon, but the wine in his glass was now replaced with liquid fuel.

As the days went by, the Nohara family's life returned to normal.

During this time, Hiroshi tried to call the police, but the police investigation into such bizarre cases was slow.

It turns out that no matter how the appearance changes, as long as the core remains the one that Pokémon are familiar with, it can regain their approval and love.

What truly made Laurel Leaf and Electric Dragon lower their guard was a study tour organized by Shin-chan's kindergarten.

On the construction site where fully automated robots are building, Hiroshi desperately saves Shin-chan and several classmates who are falling from a great height.

The vine whip couldn't reach it, and there were no Flying-type Pokémon around that could react in time; it was a close call.

Hiroshi once again supports his family's warm life as a father and trainer.

The scene changes.

Before going to bed, Hiroshi and Shin-chan arm wrestled on a platform made of pillows.

Under the dazed gaze of the slippery boy, Shin-chan used all his strength, his face flushed, to slowly press down Hiroshi's wrist.

"Oh dear, I lost." Hiroshi said with a helpless smile.

"Hate!"

Shin-chan stood up and said seriously, "Men can't go easy on each other when it comes to winning or losing; it has to be fair and square!"

As he spoke, he lay down and stretched out his hand, indicating that he wanted to play another round.

"Okay, I got it. Come on."

With a little force from Hiroshi, not only Shin-chan's wrist, but Shin-chan's entire body was flipped over.

Shin-chan, who is withdrawn, lies motionless in the corner with his back to the camera.

Quiet laughter drifted through the screening room.

As if they had already escaped the predicament of becoming robots, things were going incredibly smoothly, accompanied by a soothing rhythm.

Hiroshi would wear a hood and play with Shin-chan's friends, letting them grab his shoulders and fly high into the sky to overlook the entire city.

Every morning, she would take her slippery little boy out for a run, and in the process, she discovered that she could operate simple machines.

With a few snaps of the fingers, the microwave oven automatically heats up, the TV channels are switched, and the washing machine starts running.

The cheerful atmosphere was infectious, even to Rika, not to mention Ah-Xing, who was watching a movie for the first time.

Seeing her smile along with the surrounding audience, Xiaoxia felt that inviting her was definitely the right decision.

Although the invitation was made at Izumi's request, the fact that everyone was happy in the end is a good thing.

However, Xiaoxia actually felt a strange unease deep down.

Based on her consistent understanding of Izumi's work style, there are only two differences: first suppressing and then elevating, and first elevating and then suppressing.

For example, "Night at Night" is a typical example of a film that starts with a slump and then builds to a climax, which is very effective. Every audience member left the theater feeling excited and thrilled.

"The Little Mermaid," on the other hand, started strong but ended weak, and as we've seen, some female viewers still feel unsatisfied and think that Izumi had ulterior motives.

As the plot unfolds, Xiaoxia holds her forehead, and Quanshu's classic move is about to begin again.

She looked at the ignorant audience around her, still immersed in the joyful atmosphere, and felt a pang of pity for what was about to happen.

The police made no progress, but the private investigator Hiroshi hired discovered that the missing beauty salon was connected to the automated construction site where Shin-chan was in danger.

To find out the truth, Hiroshi sneaks into the construction site, only to discover Shin-chan following him underground, playing a stalking game.

They found thousands of robots underground that looked remarkably like Hiroshi, and a large, heart-shaped ellipse in the center, wrapped in countless cables and pumping.

Inside the pale purple liquid sphere, a figure named "Hiroshi" lay curled up like a sleeping baby.

"dad?"

Shin-chan shouted and waved, but the other person didn't respond.

Until he frantically pressed buttons on the control panel, the sphere shattered, Hiroshi fell down, and slowly woke up.

"Who is it...who are you?"

Robot Hiroshi's eyebrows twitched as he looked at the "Hiroshi" on the stage with a human body, and he instinctively shouted, "Shin-chan, stay away from that person!"

"That person is a fake, I am the real Hiroshi Nohara!"

The shout that came out of his mouth was deafening to the audience.

I followed Hiroshi's perspective from the very beginning of the film, especially the long shot of robot Hiroshi after he woke up in the massage parlor.

This led all viewers to subconsciously believe that Hiroshi had been modified, forgetting the "cloning" mentioned in the pre-release promotional material.

When the real Hiroshi and the robot Hiroshi face each other, the veil covering the truth is lifted, but a huge problem is also created.

Between the two, which one is the real deal?

Without a doubt, Hiroshi is the true human being, and the so-called robot merely replicates his consciousness.

But the audience followed the perspective of the robot Hiroshi and witnessed his efforts.

He had already successfully gained his family's acceptance, but now he had to cruelly tell them: Are you an imposter?

The huge screening room fell silent, with the audience either unable to bear watching or speechless with shock.

Xiaoxia sighed inwardly, realizing that she had laughed too soon and too happily in Quanshu's movies, and that she would have to pay the price sooner or later.

Chapter 119 Sorry, I don't think I really am your father (3k2)

"What are you talking about? I am Hiroshi Nohara."

Hiroshi seemed to remember something and said, "I know, you're the robot that copied my memories, aren't you!"

These words flashed through the mind of the robot Hiroshi like lightning.

Several scenes flash back to the present: scientists in white lab coats, Hiroshi placed on instruments, and the robot prototype...

Hiroshi confidently said, "Shin-chan, tell him quickly who the real dad is."

Shin-chan jumped onto the robot's shoulder: "Robot Dad is the best! Because he can fly and launch rocket punches."

"You little rascal..."

A piercing alarm sounded at the construction site. The three crawled out of the ground and found that Laurel Leaf, Electric Dragon, and the construction site's security guards had gotten into a conflict.

After discovering that Shin-chan was missing, Laurel Leaf followed the scent to the construction site, but was stopped when she tried to enter.

The alert wasn't just for the conflict, but also for the loss of important cloning material, Hiroshi.

Seeing the red glow in the eyes of the guard robots, they sensed that the Pokémon were in danger.

"My bay leaf and electric dragon are in danger!"

The robot Hiroshi put Shin-chan down and flew off first.

Hiroshi retorted angrily, "What do you mean 'your'? Those are my Pokémon!"

Thunderbolt and Razor Leaf had no effect on the leader of the guards; seemingly taking into account the strength of the Pokémon, the robot was made exceptionally sturdy.

The robot Hiroshi and the leader engaged in a fierce, hand-to-hand combat, leaving Shin-chan, who was hiding, utterly excited.

The continuous explosions attracted the attention of nearby residents.

In the end, the robot Hiroshi achieved a hard-won victory.

"Plop~"

"Bah!"

Hearing the shouts of Laurel Leaf and Electric Dragon, he instinctively looked up and saw them running towards him.

"Basil leaf, electric dragon!"

Hiroshi reached out, wanting to give them a big hug, just like he always had.

Under the blazing firelight, laurel leaves and electric dragons brushed past him.

The robot Hiroshi stood frozen in place, and after a long while, he turned around with difficulty. They were never heading towards his position, but rather towards the area around Nohara Hiroshi, who was human.

Seeing them embracing each other, the robot Hiroshi inexplicably stretched out his palm and looked down at the charred marks left by the battle.

It's raining.

The sound of rain pattering down on the metal hand was heard.
