Pokémon: The Journey of Bonds

Wu Yao and others have followed the navigation to the Flame Mountain area near the Fire Gym.

"We're almost done here, I hope we'll meet again someday!" Ellie announced the end of the group, and everyone left.

"Wu Yao, I hope you can meet my master if you are lucky enough!"

"I will."

Wu Yao thought about it. There are now two Flying-type Gym and a Dragon-type Gym in the Tianzang District. There will be no gym that can be restrained by the Water-type. However, he has collected so many Pokémon, so he can challenge the gyms that are restrained by them. Although he has no confidence in challenging the Dragon-type Gym, this is an extremely challenging gym battle, which can test the strength of his Pokémon.

After everyone separated, Wu Yao and Sun Qing were bored. The Fire Gym was not open yet because the gym owner and the apprentice were temporarily out. It was not dark yet, so they could only walk around. There were ice-type Pokémon making ice in the activity area, so it was not hot at all. The Flame Mountain Scenic Area did not have refrigeration arranged. After all, it was the Flame Mountain. How could it be called the Flame Mountain if it was not hot?

"Come and see! The Pokémon adaptation of the classic Journey to the West is coming out for free! If you want to watch it, come and sign up here!"

Upon hearing the news, many people flocked to the publicity staff to sign up. After all, it was the first time for them to see Pokémon acting, but the locals were used to it as they had seen this kind of performance many times. It was free but there would be advertisements from various sponsors inserted into the products to attract tourists to buy.

Soon the crowd gathered in a large theater, and Wu Yao and his friends, who were bored, joined the crowd to watch the show.

"Welcome to watch Journey to the West: Tang Sanzang's Road to the Flaming Mountain and Sun Xingzhe's Fan!"

I saw a flame monkey wearing yellow clothes, a golden hoop on his head and a golden hoop stick appear.

"A play is not nonsense, and an adaptation is not a random creation! Can the Blazing Monkey play the Monkey King? We should apologize to the people of the whole country!"

Suddenly, an old man stood up in the audience and pointed at the Flame Monkey on the stage and criticized him.

"Who is this person?"

"It seems that his ancestors had performed in the classic TV series adapted from Journey to the West. He said these words at the time that he didn't want others to perform in Journey to the West and wanted to monopolize the business of Journey to the West. Now all of this has been passed down!"

"How can a flaming monkey with a weird beard play the role of Sun Wukong well? In the second half of this year, the filming of Journey to the West co-produced by Huami will officially start. Please support me. I will play the role of Sun Wukong and reproduce the glory of my ancestors!" The old man saw that everyone was curious and quickly took the opportunity to promote himself.

"Lao Deng! It's disrespectful enough that your ancestors promoted Journey to the West at someone else's funeral. Although it wasn't in the mourning hall, these words are all true. Also, your ancestors' Huami co-produced Journey to the West has been promoted since he finished filming the classic Journey to the West, but it was not released until he died! I don't know where this co-production went."

"Although the TV series is a classic, Journey to the West is not the work of your ancestors alone. The martial arts instructor, special effects team, props team and supporting actors all contributed!"

"Your ancestor has been making money since he finished filming the classics. He endorsed pay-to-win mobile games, filmed Wu Cheng'en and Journey to the West, and filmed The Money Lover. These are all his attempts to make money by using the gimmicks of classic TV series!"

"Me! Me!" The old man was speechless after being confronted by the audience, so he took out the classic whitewashing videos on Bilibili and found them on other platforms.

"Wow! That's amazing! Endorsing a pay-to-win mobile game is not just a fabrication! He said others took his words out of context, but his own video was also taken out of context. He didn't dare to whitewash it when the rhythm was at its peak in 2018, and waited until the rhythm had passed before he started to mislead the public. Many people who didn't know the truth and the pure passers-by who were added later were all misled!"

Now the descendant was speechless. The previous two times he promoted his product were quite smooth. He used the Infernape to brag about himself. In fact, his performance was not even as good as that of his ancestors. His ancestors were really capable and had acting skills, but they were blinded by money after making money. He, on the other hand, was purely benefiting from his ancestors' fame but had no acting skills and only wanted to make money.

In the end, the man left without asking for permission, feeling ashamed, guilty and annoyed.

"I remember this guy's name seemed to be Zhang Cheng'en? His original name is unknown, but he thought he could compare to Wu Cheng'en, so he changed his name. There are also many people on the Internet who use their ancestors to sue others. As long as the person dressed as the Monkey King from the classic Journey to the West, he will sue that person. It's the same as the person who made the animation Abandoned Cat and Chicken thousands of years ago. In the end, that person was also criticized on the Internet because he caused trouble for the innovative and excellent Journey to the West game. I hope this guy will soon fall for using Journey to the West."

What everyone didn't know was that the crew was actually annoyed by him. He kept coming over to promote, and the security guards couldn't stop him.

Soon, King Yanwu, wearing a blue-gray cap, a blue-gray cloth shirt, and carrying a nine-toothed rake, came on stage. He bowed to the audience.

Next is the Lotte Kappa with 9 beads hanging around his neck. Although we don't know where his neck is, his beads are stuck right below his mouth and above his hands. He is wearing a purple shirt and green underwear and holding a crescent shovel.

Wu Yao thought of a popular science article he had read before. What Sha Seng held was not a crescent shovel, but a short stick. The helmet of Monkey King was not the same as Lu Bu's, but a hat that looked like small wings. However, these costumes have become classics now. There is nothing wrong with disrespecting the original work. Wu Chengen is unlikely to crawl out of the underground and find modern authors to ask them to change his Journey to the West completely. And if Wu Chengen were born in modern times, he might also support this costume.

Next came a fiery red fox wearing a cassock, a monk's hat, and holding a nine-ring Zen staff, riding a flaming horse painted all over in white.

As they walked, they came to the Flaming Mountain. The Flame Monkey, representing Wukong, went to explore the way and asked the old actor where this place was. The voice of the Flame Monkey, who was playing the role of Sun Wukong, was emitted by the radio.

The old man replied: "This is near the Huoyan Mountain. The Huoyan Mountain is 60 miles to the west. The entire mountain is 800 miles long. Even a copper head and an iron body will turn into water if you go there!"

A cake seller came over not far away and shouted: "Flame Monkey pure hand-made rice cake! 50 yuan each! Buy it quickly if you want!"

"Is this also the content of Journey to the West?"

"There is indeed a cake seller in the original novel, but he never said such words."

The man selling rice cakes on the stage took out the WeChat and ZFB codes, and everyone realized that this was an advertisement to the audience...
