Global Elf Frenzy

Shanghai, located in the eastern coastal area of ​​China, is China's economic, financial, trade, shipping, and technological innovation center, and is a world-famous international metropolis.

In this world, due to the existence of Pokémon, security checks seem to be stricter.

When driving off the highway and officially entering the boundary between Shanghai and Shanghai, the Audi A6 sedan with a foreign license plate driven by Lan Jingyun's father received special attention.

Under the instructions of the traffic police, Lan Shuwen parked the car on the side of the road.

"Hello, please show your ID!"

The uniformed policeman first stood at attention and saluted Lan Shuwen, who was sitting in the driver's seat, and then asked him to cooperate with his work.

Next to the policeman, there was a wind speed dog sitting majestically on the ground, looking warily at Lan Shuwen and Lan Jingyun and his son in the car.

Looking at the wind-speed dog in front of him, which was as tall as a person, Lan Jingyun believed that if he dared to make any uncooperative move, the wind-speed dog would rush up to him as fast as possible and subdue him, even if he hid. Inside the car, this Audi A6 sedan cannot stop the bite of the sharp fangs of the wind speed dog.

Lan Jingyun naturally chose to follow his heart and sat obediently in the passenger seat, not daring to move.

"Okay, officer, please wait."

Lan Shuwen seemed to have expected this to happen, so he handed over the prepared small book, which was about the size of a driver's license, along with his ID card and the elf ball hanging on his belt.

At this time, another female police officer also in uniform came forward and saluted before taking what Lan Shuwen handed over. Then she took out a small square box and pointed it at Lan Shuwen. Scan the trainer's license provided by the book.

"Pokémon Illustrated Book?"

When he saw the instrument used by the female police officer to scan documents, Lan Jingyun subconsciously thought of this term.

Although the shape and color of this instrument were very different from the Pokédex in Lan Jingyun’s impression, for some reason, Lan Jingyun instinctively thought that the female police officer was holding a Pokédex, and even he I don't even know where my confidence comes from.

After checking Lan Shuwen's ID card and trainer's license, the female police officer picked up the Poke Ball and placed the white button-like thing in the middle of the Poke Ball against a special receiving port on the Pokédex. Start reading the information of the Pokémon inside the Poké Ball.

After confirming that the information was correct, the female police officer nodded to the waiting police officer with a wind speed dog.

"Thank you for your cooperation!"

After handing back all the things Lan Shuwen provided, the two police officers present saluted again, and then left with the wind speed dog to check the next intercepted car.

"call--"

Lan Jingyun couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the wind speed dog that made him so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe finally left.

Lan Jingyun never thought that he would be frightened like this by a mere "mad dog".

Moreover, in China, even the police now carry Pokémon with them to perform official duties, which has also given Lan Jingyun a deeper understanding of the world.

However, during the short period of time when his father restarted the car, Lan Jingyun also took the time to look at several other vehicles that had also been intercepted, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Because not all vehicles will be intercepted, some vehicles are directly released, and after Lan Jingyun's observation, whether they will be intercepted has nothing to do with whether they have local license plates. At least Lan Jingyun was also intercepted. A local Shanghai license plate was found among several cars.

It seems that he saw the doubts in Lan Jingyun's heart, or he just wanted to do some popular science for Lan Jingyun.

Lan Shuwen said: "The reason why I was stopped by the police for inspection was because I was carrying Pokémon."

With that said, Lan Shuwen used his hand behind his back to signal Lan Jingyun to take a look at the toll station that was gradually moving away.

"There are special instruments on it that can check whether there are Pokémon in the car. If there are Pokémon in the car, you have to stop and get checked."

Lan Jingyun nodded, indicating that he understood.

"When you get the initial Pokémon, we will have to check it again when we return to Jiang Cheng, but that time will be when we arrive in Jiang Cheng, and you will also have to be checked by then."

Lan Shuwen and Lan Jingyun said half-jokingly.

"Otherwise, if that's the case, Dad, why would you go out with the Poké Ball?"

If you will be stopped by the police if you take a Pokémon out with you, why do you still take it with you?

Lan Jingyun also saw just now that the people who were stopped by the police for inspection were not isolated cases, but almost all the vehicles were stopped. The police officers responsible for the inspection were somewhat short of manpower.

Lan Shuwen answered his son's doubts with a smile.

"It is common sense for trainers to take your Pokémon with you to protect your own safety when you go out!"

What happened at the highway intersection was just an episode on the road.

In the following time, Lan Shuwen's car drove smoothly along the way and was never stopped again.

So Lan Jingyun quickly forgot the episode that just happened, because Shanghai is indeed an international metropolis, especially the number of Pokémon that can be seen in the city is far beyond what Jiang Cheng can Comparable.

In Jiang Cheng, although there are trainers who release Pokémon from Poké Balls, most of them are very weak and unevolved Pokémon. It is rare to see fully evolved Pokémon, but in Shanghai , Pokémon is truly integrated into every aspect of people’s lives.

Lan Jingyun even saw a very fashionable female trainer who went shopping with Bulbasaur. From the back of Bulbasaur,

Shopping bags hang from vine whips sticking out of huge blooming flowers.

Moreover, the roads in Shanghai are not simply divided into motorized lanes and non-motorized lanes. In addition, there is also a road dedicated to Pokémon. Along the way, Lan Jingyun saw many people wearing suits and ties. The urban white-collar worker carrying a briefcase hurriedly ran down the driveway on a Pokémon.

It was an eye-opener for Lan Jingyun that Shanghai and Shanghai in the previous world were two completely different cities from what he remembered.

Lan Shuwen seemed to want to let Lan Jingyun fully appreciate the extraordinary charm of the "magic city" of Shanghai. He drove Lan Jingyun around Shanghai and spent a little extra time. .

Then he arrived at Professor Chen's residence before the time agreed upon with Professor Chen. This is why Lan Shuwen took Lan Jingyun and set off from Jiang Cheng so early, just to have enough free time. Give Lan Jingyun time to appreciate the unique charm of Shanghai.

Professor Chen and his family live together in a specially built two-story house next to the research institute, because the research institute is located near the university town in Cangming District, Shanghai City, and because the university town is full of Pokémon-related It is a professional school, so the environment is very clean, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and is very suitable for Pokémon to live.

Professor Chen's real name is Chen Tingzhi, and he teaches at Shanghai Elf University, one of the five top universities in China related to Pokémon battles.

Although before coming to Shanghai, Lan Jingyun searched for information related to Professor Chen on the Internet in advance and did his homework in advance.

But when he actually saw this Pokémon authority who had written numerous books, Lan Jingyun was still a little surprised, surprised by how young he was.

Because in Lan Jingyun's impression, those who are associated with authority are basically gray-haired old men, but this Professor Chen looks about the same age as his father. Even in his own home, he still has Wearing a white coat and glasses.

Lan Shuwen parked his car in a parking lot some distance away from Professor Chen's home, and then walked there with Lan Jingyun as a sign of respect.

Lan Shuwen did not carry gifts such as cigarettes and alcohol, but prepared gifts suitable for children such as dolls. The reason is that Professor Chen does not like smoking and drinking, and is obsessed with Pokémon on weekdays. research, so it’s not suitable for preparing those tacky things.

But Lan Shuwen had been shopping in the mall for so many years, so it was not good to bring no gifts. Professor Chen happened to have a daughter who was still in elementary school, so he decided to start from this aspect and bought a doll. It was prepared for Professor Chen's daughter. After all, this time Lan Shuwen dropped by in the name of a friend of many years.

"Professor Chen, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"

Lan Shuwen pretended to be polite and took the initiative to approach Professor Chen, but did not call him by his name directly, keeping a tight balance.

"Haha, Shuwen, you still like to pretend to be polite as before, and you haven't changed at all."

But Professor Chen suddenly disrupted Lan Shuwen's plan. He was originally planning to be polite to Professor Chen for a while, and then get down to the main topic of the day when the relationship was almost settled.

Why didn't he play his cards according to the routine? It didn't look like he hadn't been in contact with each other for so many years, and he exposed Lan Shuwen's shortcomings as soon as he started.

Lan Jingyun looked at his father with a confused and deflated look on his face. He wanted to laugh but couldn't, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

But Lan Jingyun also knew that it was time for him to take action. After all, his father was really unable to step down. In the end, he was the unlucky one.

"Hello, Uncle Chen."

Lan Jingyun held an Eevee doll imported from abroad for Professor Chen's daughter and walked up to say hello.

"Who is this"

Only this time did Professor Chen focus on Lan Jingyun, who was following Lan Shuwen.

"This is Inuzi Lan Jingyun. Because he will be in his senior year of high school soon, but he has never been able to find a suitable starter Pokémon, so he wanted to trouble Professor Chen, because you are the authority on Pokémon cultivation in China."

However, Professor Chen did not listen to Lan Shuwen's words at all. Instead, he started to look up and down at Lan Jingyun halfway through.

"Feng Ming Chaoyang, Long Xing Jing Yun, you are indeed a talented person. Speaking of which, I gave you this name in the first place. I didn't expect you to have grown so big after not seeing each other for so many years."

After hearing Professor Chen's words, Lan Jingyun had a surprised look on his face.

Lan Jingyun still knew the allusion to his name, but he had never heard his father mention that his name was given by Professor Chen. So, did his father have a good relationship with Professor Chen back then?How could there be no contact for so many years?

Lan Jingyun's heart was full of doubts.

"Cough cough."

Lan Shuwen quickly pretended to cough twice, attracting Professor Chen's attention to himself again.

"Professor Chen, actually today"

Unfortunately, Lan Shuwen still couldn't finish his words this time. Professor Chen seemed to have remembered something and turned to look at Lan Jingyun again.

"Indeed, Jingyun has grown so big in the blink of an eye. Logically speaking, it should be me, the uncle, who should prepare the initial Pokémon for Jingyun, but I don't think I have any Pokémon that you will like. Kameng, how about this? I'll take you to my friend's place. He has a lot of dragon-type Pokémon there, which should be more in line with boys' aesthetics."

Professor Chen said as he prepared to take out his mobile phone from the pocket of his white coat.

But he was stopped by Lan Jingyun.

Although Lan Jingyun wanted to complain in his heart at the moment, it was really incredible that Professor Chen actually had friends who studied dragon-type Pokémon.

On the surface, Lan Jingyun showed no abnormality at all.

"Uncle Chen, I'm here just for the Pokémon you're studying." Lan Jingyun said sincerely, "Because I heard that you are the eighth known evolved form of Eevee - Fairy Eevee. Discoverer of cloth.”
