I became a Pokémon

Chapter 47 This World Is Abnormal (6000 words)
After receiving the message from Daoba's illustrated book, Kodak Duck is going to take the old man with white eyebrows to leave.

At this time, the white-browed old man was still in a coma, so Koda Ya had no choice but to use his thoughts to support his body, and walked outside step by step.But also because of this, Thunderball and Ghost Stone, who had been eyeing it, immediately avoided it. It seemed that they took into account that the white-browed old man would not dare to attack the duck, which saved him a lot of trouble.

The unscrupulous students greeted the duck at the elevator entrance, and while they took the old man with white eyebrows, they talked about Nazi's situation.To put it simply, Nazi was released by the Rockets on their own initiative. Sakagi didn't seem to want to imprison her, but just asked for Nazi's elf coins and villas. At the same time, Nazi had to promise not to fight against the Rockets.Nazi was forced to agree to these conditions, and now she has come to the non-trainer alliance, waiting for the Kodak to join her.

Koda Duck is also looking forward to that moment, it is looking forward to reuniting with Na Zi, and it is also looking forward to Dao Ba fulfilling his promise.

Although the development of the matter was somewhat unexpected, judging from the results, it still defeated the elder with white eyebrows. At the same time, Nazi also returned safely, and reached the previous agreement with Daoba. After they met, it was up to Duck to figure out Time for the truth.

After more than 20 minutes, Kodak returned to the Non-Trainer Alliance by car. As soon as it got out of the car, it saw Nazi and came up to her. She looked good, and there was no sign of injury, but her expression was a little anxious:
"Cunda Duck, do you really want to ask Daoba a question to find out the nature of this world?"

Koda Duck nodded, "Why are you in such a hurry? Is there really a problem here?"

Nazi sighed:

"Of course there are problems, but not everyone can bear those facts. It's not a wonderful story, it's just a cruel and helpless fact."

Koda Duck did not respond to her words, but changed the subject, "Sakagi didn't use you for research, did he? Why is he willing to let you out?"

"Sakaki is not a researcher." Nazi shook her head with a smile, and then said, "He just wants me to give up fighting against the Rockets and compensate him enough property. For him, these are more important than restricting my freedom. actual."

"Where are the members of the Rockets who were captured? I remember that Gran Yas is still in your hands, and you can definitely make an exchange with him."

Nazi smiled wryly when she heard the words, "Sakagi knows me too well, he knows that I will not hurt the members of the Rockets, so he didn't mention them at all, but repeatedly discussed the amount of spirit coins. In his opinion, I have nothing to do without spirit coins." I can't guarantee the food and housing conditions for those people, so I can only let them go."

"That's because you are too polite to those people!" Da Ya thinks that this is entirely because Sakagi took advantage of Nazi's kindness. If he follows his idea, those people should be put through labor reform, at least earning their food money. return.

Na Zi wanted to say something else, but saw Dao Ba approaching, she finally confirmed:

"You really decided?"

Koda Ya looked at Dao Ba standing aside, and nodded.

Na Zi didn't speak anymore, she turned and left here, and then explained the situation to Xiao Xuan and the others.

So Keda Ya, who had just returned here, followed Daoba out of here again, and finally they came to a grassy hillside.There is no one around here, only the whistling of the wind can be heard, Daoba sat on the hillside, turned his back to Koda Ya and asked:
"What do you think of the world?"

Koda Duck was taken aback by his question, and then slowly answered:
"This world is very abnormal." Seeing Daoba's body trembling, Koda Duck continued to explain:

"As a Pokémon, my first impression of this world is that there are abundant products and no worries about food and drink. However, the source of human food is still very mysterious, like some rare resource."

"This is like a free and equal society, but what happens to non-trainers is worrying. On the other hand, the gap between the rich and the poor is very obvious. The rich live in mansions, have elf coins and have nowhere to spend, but they don't care about the poor." ask."

"This seems to be a peaceful and stable place, but the friction between the Pokémon Alliance and the other three forces is always constant. What is even more puzzling is that if the alliance forces in various places are combined, the other forces will definitely be able to Break them down one by one, but the alliance did not do so, and instead acted as if it had nothing to do with them.”

"People here seem to be positive, but the only ones who feel really enthusiastic are those trainers who are over 10 years old and under 30 years old. Others have complicated attitudes towards Pokémon battles."

"The technology here seems to be very advanced, but I haven't heard reports about exploring time, space, and unknown worlds. On the contrary, mythical beasts like Celebi have the power to travel through time and space, and there are also stories about Dialga, The legend of Palkya and the Hades dragon."

"The last point is that although the tricks of different Pokmon look very colorful, the super power system is an exception. For example, the power of mind looks like a simple power, and the shield composed of super powers is like a shield. A thrust can reflect the trick; floating with the help of thoughts can also be understood as a force supporting the body.

I sometimes wonder, if superpowers are a kind of force, can they be turned into a fist and used as a fighting style trick, so it seems that superpowers can do everything..."

Hearing Dao Ya's words, Dao Ba, who had been silent all this time, suddenly turned around, stared at Da Da Ya for a long time, and then said in his deep voice:

"Sure enough, you are a unique Pokémon. You can realize that there is still a problem with superpowers in this world. No wonder you can defeat the elder with white eyebrows. This gave me an illusion that you are not a Pokémon, but a A wise human being, a human being who has a long-term vision and can see the essence of things."

Koda Duck lowered his head when he heard the words. Although he felt that he was praised, he didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell him "you guessed it right".

Dao Ba didn't care about the silence of the duck, he said to himself:
"Originally, things about the nature of this world cannot be told to Pokémon. Just like divine beasts do not interfere with human affairs, we will not seek help from Pokémon. But until now, I have nothing to do."

Dao Ba sighed, and said in a nostalgic tone:

"This starts with the establishment of the Pokémon Alliance. 163 years ago, the world was still in chaos. Although humans at that time knew how to tame Pokémon, they only used them as tools. The trainers at that time believed in The strength is respected, and only fight for one's own desires, so there is an extreme lack of order, and incidents such as robbery, bullying, murder and robbery occur frequently. It was that year that some people established the Pokémon Alliance in order to maintain the order of the world."

"After the establishment of the alliance, laws were enacted to restrict the actions of trainers, and facilities such as Pokémon Hospital and Pokémon Center were established, which stabilized the situation at that time. In the following 100 years, the entire society was also in a state of vigorous development and prosperity. .”

"However, the league hid a lot of problems, and in the end, those problems blew up 21 years ago."

"At that time, Sakagi and I were still good friends, and we both worked in the Pokémon League. I was a trainer responsible for maintaining law and order, and Sakagi was a staff member of statistics. On that day 21 years ago, Sakagi accidentally discovered a report , the report shows that the population of the world has been increasing in the past hundred years, but the supply of food has hardly changed..."

Hearing this, Koda Ya had no choice but to interrupt Dao Ba's memories, and asked suspiciously:

"Shouldn't food be the most basic thing? Why is it like a secret?"

Dao Ba sighed:
"Food is of course the most basic, no one can live without food, but we rarely think about the source of food.

This world is a paradise for Pokémon, they can find all kinds of food, for example, green caterpillars can eat leaves, three bees can suck pollen, but humans are different, we cannot digest bark and grass leaves, only a very small amount of food, For example, the honey from the three bees and the milk from the big milk pot are edible for us.It is said that our human ancestors ate wild tree fruits all day long. Since the calories of tree fruits were not high, the ancestors could only travel long distances to find food. Even so, they were still malnourished.Because of this, there is an old saying that goes, 'Pokémon are God's darlings, and humans are only God's illegitimate children'.

This difficult situation changed only after humans discovered citrus trees.

At that time, only tree fruit was known food to human beings, so they were eager to find new food, and they would taste everything they had never seen before.Until one day, they tasted a fruit so hard that it was like a stone, and biting it would just knock their teeth out.

Expecting to find new food, they returned disappointed, but took an orange or two with them.However, just a day or two later, they suddenly discovered a ruin, which seemed to be left by another civilization, and the murals on the wall were engraved with this kind of fruit.

There are methods of opening citrus fruits and making citrus fruit balls on the walls. At the same time, the ancestors also found out how to use natural resources, smelt metals, extract fibers and other technologies inside. That is when they finally put on clothes.

However, what surprised them the most was what was inside the orange fruit. When the orange fruit was opened, many things they had never seen before appeared, and they were all edible.People at that time could not understand how such a small sphere could hold so much food.

It is precisely because of these foods and the technology in the relics that human beings developed rapidly. In the following years, they discovered many relics one after another, including various technologies including metal balls, the predecessor of Pokémon. "

"Then came the chaotic period before the league, when life was very difficult, there was a shortage of food, and there was no food in the oranges anymore, instead it went into the metal balls.

Metal balls are randomly scattered all over the world, requiring human beings to constantly search for them. Of course, some people rob other people's food by force.The situation did not stabilize until the alliance had a large amount of food.

Since then, the source of food has become a taboo issue, and no one brought it up until Sakagi found the article.

If what that article says is true, then as the population grows, our survival pressure will increase, but the amount of food will not increase, which means that sooner or later someone will not be able to eat, and sooner or later we will face a famine, or even It is the extinction of all mankind.

Realizing this, Sakagi and I had a heated discussion, and finally we decided that only by figuring out the source of food can we find a way to increase the amount of food.At that time, we were young and energetic, and after discussing for a while, we immediately went to the leader of the alliance and asked about the source of the food.However, the leader's thoughts are extremely firm, and indeed the amount of food is getting insufficient, but he still doesn't want the alliance to accept any changes. At the same time, he told us the truth in order to dissuade us, but we find it difficult to accept..."

"He told us that the food comes from the sea!"

Koda Duck stood up all of a sudden, and it finally understood how shocking what it heard next would be.

At this time, Dao Ba slowly took out a map from his arms, he spread the map, pointed to a few continents and said:

"These places are Kanto, Chengdu, Fangyuan, Xin'ao, Hezhong, and Carlos areas in order. They are all the areas we know. However, the area larger than these areas is the endless ocean. They surround Every continent, finally coming together here."

Daoba pointed to the top of the map and said seriously:

"This is called the Sea of ​​Origin. It is the place where the legendary humans and Pokémon were born, and it is also the source of food for the Alliance."

"This, this is impossible..."

Koda Duck looked at the blue area on the map, and couldn't believe Daoba's words at all, and its reason told it that this map was very wrong.If the map is regarded as a globe, the location of the Sea of ​​Origin should be at the North Pole, there should be polar day and polar night phenomena, and there is no South Pole on the map.

For this question, Daoba can't answer:

"The Sea of ​​Origin doesn't have that kind of phenomenon where it's all daytime, and there's no Antarctica like you said. It's also a sea area at the bottom of the map, but we can't reach it."

Koda Duck couldn't figure it out, but it still asked Daoba to continue talking.

"According to them, the Alliance only knew about it in the year it was founded, and several of their explorers stumbled across an ocean they had never seen before, where the sea water would emit a faint light, where It is the sea of ​​origin. We don’t know what happened after that. We only know that the leader at that time made an agreement with Kyoka, the master of the ocean. The habitat of wild Pokémon must not be destroyed, and the development of the alliance must not disrupt the life of wild Pokémon."

"This is the wish of all the beasts, and there is no loss to the alliance. The leader at the time readily agreed. In this way, the Pokémon Alliance, which controlled the food source, gained a huge advantage and quickly resolved the war. At the same time, it also buried this secret So far. However, Sakagi and I believe that this matter can no longer be concealed, and we suggest that this information should be disseminated, so that more people can discuss this issue, brainstorm, and always find a solution.”

"However, the league rejected us decisively, and let us see something even more shocking."

"That's their conclusion report. According to their findings in the ruins and the calculations and discussions of all the scientists, it is finally determined that the reason for food is nothing but the happiness of this world!"

"Happiness?"

Koda Duck asked in surprise.

"Yes, you heard it right, you can also call it satisfaction, happiness index. In short, as long as life on this planet is happy and happy, they can get enough food, how ridiculous! It's like someone said to you, As long as you smile at me every day, I will give you something to eat."

Although Dao Duck was also shocked, it was not as extreme as Daoba thought. It put forward its own views:

"If every life can get food as long as they are happy, wouldn't that be great? Compared with planting trees and fruits, at least it saves the time from planting seeds to the maturity of food, and saves manpower and material resources, doesn't it?"

Dao Ba shook his head:
"You think too simply. This happiness value does not refer to the momentary pleasure, but the whole. The Sea of ​​​​Origin distributes food once a week, and it will not increase because of someone's ecstasy. At this point, Pokmon is still Well, wild Pokémon are emotionally stable, and subdued Pokémon are usually very happy, but human beings are much more complicated. After all, everyone has seven emotions and six desires, and they will be happy or sad. Even if some people are happy, they will provoke others jealousy, so that the average happiness value does not change much. Although we try to increase happiness, we can't solve the problem."

"What about the Pokémon Alliance? They won't sit idly by."

"The Pokémon League is full of conservative guys. They are afraid that if the news leaks out, it will cause panic among the people. As a result, the happiness level that was originally not high will decrease rapidly. The most serious consequence is that the alliance will have a little food next week. If you can’t get it, relying on the leftover food will only bring the world back to the era of chaos.”

"Sakagi and I are also aware of this. Because of this, even if we left the Pokémon Alliance and were considered villains by them, we did not announce the truth. Until now, only a few people know this."

"Are you the only ones who object to the alliance's approach?"

"No, even within the alliance, there are disputes about this. Many people who know the truth don't want to sit still, but they are all cowards. They dare not take risks to carry out reforms. They just strengthened the propaganda of the alliance conference and encouraged Pokémon We didn't agree with them, so we left and developed our own power."

"Encourage Pokémon to fight? What's the use of that?"

"It can improve a certain degree of satisfaction. After all, for young people under the age of 20, becoming a trainer and defeating the gymnasium owner is a thing that attracts both fame and fortune. Therefore, the gymnasium trainer and the Four Heavenly Kings The income is so high, but it is just a cover, the alliance can not exchange the same amount of food, because the merchant alliance hoarded food before, the alliance had to limit the amount of food purchased by each person, so Nazi's elf coins also I can only buy a villa."

"We are different from the merchant alliance that only focuses on interests. Both Sakagi and I want to solve the problem with our own actions, but obviously, we failed and fell into the quagmire of power. Now we can only hurt each other with the Pokémon Alliance. When the new week comes, send force and alliances to grab food and maintain your power."

"Even so, we still can't approve of the league's approach. They use the blood of young people to improve happiness, while ignoring other age groups, such as people over 20 years old, who have doubts about the nature of the world. , the older they get, the more doubts they have and the less satisfaction they offer.

Most of them can still live normally, but they no longer yearn for Pokémon battles. They only use Pokémon as pets and live a peaceful and simple life.Only those trainers who have become soldiers will pick up Pokémon balls and continue to fight.

And at the age of the white-browed elder, many people have become suspicious, and it is difficult to maintain life, let alone provide happiness.The alliance can only tell them the truth, but this cannot save them. Most people can't believe it after knowing the truth, and eventually become mentally disturbed until they go crazy. Because of this, people like Dr. Old people are very rare. They know the truth but can guarantee normal thinking. This is no longer easy. "

"And this system has a serious problem, that is, resources cannot be allocated reasonably. Although there is a constant influx of newborns, the alliance cannot support so many trainers. Therefore, they will come up with the ten-year-old Pokémon, but the limit is only Three people, only a joke in some towns. These behaviors directly lead to more and more non-trainers, but compared with trainers, we are still a minority. In order to protect the interests of the majority, the alliance is afraid of destroying the happiness of this world. image, leading to a decrease in happiness, and deliberately concealing the fact that non-trainers are not, it can be said that trainers do not understand non-trainers, and non-trainers are not respected, all caused by the alliance."

"Of course, our approach is not much better than that of the Alliance. I originally wanted to replace the status of Pokémon with the technology in the ruins to find a way out, but in the end we only made robots for combat; and Sakagi is Pursuing power wholeheartedly, he wants to use absolute power to defeat the alliance and change the world, but after all, he is addicted to power and forgets his original intention."

Hearing Daoba mentioned the robot, Koda Duck couldn't help but ask:
"Since your technology is not weak, why don't you try to make food artificially?"

"I remember someone tried it, but it didn't work. In fact, we have tried many times for food, and some people even went to eat Pokémon..."

Koda Duck suddenly thought of the tail of the slow-witted beast, and asked:
"The results of it?"

"Crazy! The experimenters are all crazy! No one survived."

After asking some more questions, Kodak finally decided that the technology in this world is indeed very problematic. In some respects, the technology here is on par with that of the earth, and even in terms of robots and Pokémon balls, they are slightly better. In terms of biology, they are still at the cellular level, and Kodak finally understands why Joey in the Pokémon Center has so many non-mainstream treatments...

After sorting out the information in his mind, Dao Duck was full of emotions. The things Daoba said were like the Arabian Nights, full of weirdness, but they could explain the problems of this world.

Because of the problem of happiness, the Pokémon Alliance strongly recommends the alliance competition, making Pokémon battles mainstream. It is also because they want to hide the happiness and avoid the panic of the people and reduce the happiness. The alliance will be timid and recognize the existence of other forces. , and created a situation where non-trainers were poor but nobody cared about them.

Although there are many problems in this world, when it comes to happiness, Koda Duck has an idea. It said to Daoba with a smile:

"Although this world is a headache, since entertainment can be exchanged for bread, this problem is actually not that difficult."

Sword Master: "???"
