Pokémon cross over into the real world

"Qiyi, your fifteenth birthday is tomorrow. Have you decided who to choose as your initial elf?" Dad's gentle voice interrupted Wang Qiyi's thoughts.

The elf king Qiyi in his father's mouth is more accustomed to calling them Pokémon, but people in this world don't call them that. The International Elf Alliance was established in 1950 AD and officially called these magical animals elves. It also issued a decree that only citizens over the age of fifteen can own elves. Now Wang Qiyi is about to welcome his first elf.

Wang Qiyi has been in this world for five years. Yes, it is not fifteen years but five years, because he does not belong to this world, but a time traveler. However, this time traveler is different from other stories, because he is still called Wang Qiyi, his father is still the same father, his mother is still the same mother, and all the people have not changed, but the world has changed, life has changed. It is like another self in another time and space. When he was ten years old, he traveled to another time and space and became another self who was also ten years old.

The biggest difference between the two worlds was the creature in front of him. A large carp with shining red scales, bigger than any carp he had ever eaten on the table before. Wang Qiyi knew that it was called Magikarp and was one of many Pokémon. They were supposed to exist only in the world of cartoons or video games.

Wang Qiyi likes Pokémon very much. When he was three years old, he started watching the animation of Xiaozhi traveling with Pikachu. His house was filled with Pokémon figurines. Every birthday, he made a wish that his father would give him a Pokémon. In order to satisfy him, his father bought him Pokémon-related video games, figurines, toys, etc. It was not until his tenth birthday that he woke up and really saw a living Pokémon. He couldn't believe it and thought it was a dream. He was extremely excited that day. It was not until he found that not only his room, but the whole world was full of Pokémon, and other people were used to it and were not surprised, that he realized that this was no longer the original world, but a world with Pokémon.

When it comes to choosing the initial elf, Wang Qiyi doesn't have many options, and their family's financial resources must also be considered.

Wang Qiyi lives in Wen'an County, Zhejiang Province, in the south of Dragon Country. His family conditions are not too rich. His father was a bodyguard of a security company in his early years, but he was hired by the local wealthy Jia family for many years and has become the Jia family's personal butler. His mother is the tutor and nanny of the Jia family's children, so the whole family lives in the Jia family's villa community. The head of the family, Jia Shangda, trusts them very much. On the surface, the Wang family is the servants of the Jia family, but the two families get along like relatives and live a comfortable life.

Now Wang Qiyi is fifteen years old and it is time to choose his initial elf. The alliance has very strict control over the number of elves that an individual can own. Ordinary people can only own one elf in their lifetime, so the choice is very important. It even plays a vital role in a person's future work. For example, Wang Qiyi's father has a monarch snake, a grass-type elf that is proficient in plant control. It was the monarch snake's outstanding combat power that made him the security captain of the Jia family. Not only that, the monarch snake that controls plants is very good at taking care of the botanical garden, so the greening of the Jia family's villa community was handed over to Wang's father. In this way, Wang's father went from a bodyguard to a butler who manages the entire villa community.

"Son, don't worry too much. Tomorrow I'll take you to the breeding house in the city to look around and see if there are any Pokémons you like." Wang's father looked at Wang Qiyi's troubled expression and said gently, "Don't worry about the money. Dad still has some savings. If it's not enough, I'll go borrow some from Master Jia. But don't choose something too expensive. Things like Mini Dragon and Round Land Shark cost tens of millions, and Dad can't afford them."

"Come on, Mini Dragon! Even I dare not think about it, Uncle Wang, how dare you say that." The speaker was a boy who was about the same age as Wang Qiyi, thin and small, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. This was Jia Wencheng, the eldest son of the Jia family. Jia Wencheng and Wang Qiyi were the same age. The two had played together since childhood. Although they were from different classes, they had the same tutor and went to the same school, so they could talk about anything. Although Jia Wencheng was born in a wealthy family, he was not the legendary second-generation rich dandy, but a three-good student with excellent academic performance. The only shortcoming was that he was a little weak and was often charged protection fees at school. Wang Qiyi was as tall and handsome as his father. He became Jia Wencheng's bodyguard at school and it seemed that he would inherit his father's job.

"Mr. Jia, have you decided which elf to choose?" Wang Qiyi asked curiously. He wanted to know what kind of elf a rich young master like Jia Wencheng would choose. However, Wang Qiyi knew that Jia Wencheng didn't need to worry too much. He could just have them all if he had money. The strict limit on the number of elves one could own was for ordinary people, not the rich.

"I know what you're thinking," Jia Wencheng pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said seriously, "You think that because my family is rich I can own a lot of Pokémon, but you're wrong. There's a difference between raising Pokémon and owning your own Pokémon. A trainer can unleash the power of Pokémon based on an emotional connection with the Pokémon. This emotional connection can only be established through long-term training, study and life with the Pokémon. Pokémons have very simple minds and are also very proud creatures. They won't just follow human commands. So now newcomers have to buy Pokémon eggs from the breeding house to start training their own initial Pokémon. Human energy is limited, so no matter how rich you are, the number of Pokémon you can command is always limited."

Wang Qiyi rolled his eyes. This boy always liked to show off his knowledge. He didn't answer the questions he asked. "So... you kept talking for so long. Which elf did you choose? At least give me some advice."

Jia Wencheng chuckled and pretended to be serious, "The elf that can match my temperament must be a highly intelligent superpowered elf - Alakazam! I have asked my father to contact the Zhejiang Province Elf Alliance to help me find the best Casey."

"Master, you should choose Cathy!" Father Wang looked surprised.

"What happened to Casey? Is she very powerful?" Wang Qiyi looked curious. In his mind, Casey seemed to be a very weak Pokémon, with a racial value of only over 200. In the original world, he was too lazy to catch it in the game. Alakazam was okay, with high special attack and high speed, but it was very fragile and was basically killed in one round by Gyarados's bite. Of course, these were all game settings in his previous life, and he didn't know what reality was like.

The father explained, "Kathy is a psychic Pokémon, relatively weak. Once it grows to its final form and becomes Alakazam, it will be very powerful. And when Kathy is in a Pokémon egg, psychic fluctuations will overflow. If it is a powerful Kathy, it will be easily discovered and sold at a high price. Some top-level Kathys can only be seen at the Alliance Pokémon Auction. It is possible to sell them at a sky-high price of billions. Master, with your appetite, it would be more cost-effective for me to buy you a Dratini."

After hearing what Wang's father said, Jia Wencheng scratched his head awkwardly: "Uncle Wang, what are you thinking about! How can I dare to hope for that kind of top-level Casey. Of course, a top-level elf must be matched with a top-level trainer, otherwise it would be a waste of talent. If there really is such a Casey, the alliance will give priority to providing it to a few super-powered families. I will be satisfied with the remaining ones among the super-powered families."

"The leftovers! How can that be? How can my son deserve the leftovers!" A deep voice of a middle-aged man came from not far away. However, the owner of the voice was not a nine-foot-tall burly man as imagined. On the contrary, a thin man who was only over 1.7 meters tall and a little bald walked over. He was Jia Shangda, the owner of this villa community.

"Xiao Wang, I'll give you half a day off this afternoon. You can drive these two kids to the breeding house and pick a starting elf for Qi Yi. Just report the price to the finance department."

"Boss Jia, how can this be appropriate..."

Before Wang's father could say anything polite, Jia Shangda waved his hand and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? I treat you as a brother. I have watched Qiyi grow up, and now he is taller than me. What's wrong with giving a child an initial elf?" He patted Wang Qiyi on the back and said, "You are a really strong boy. I wish Wencheng had your physique, but it's a pity that he can only be short like me."

"Dad, why do you always bring up my height? My IQ is much higher than his!" Jia Wencheng said unconvinced.

"You brag about yourself, aren't you ashamed?" Father Jia said unhappily. "I've already said hello to the Fan family, a superpower family in Zhejiang Province. They will definitely keep an eye out for high-quality Caseys for you and send them to you in due time. You should also accompany Wang Qiyi to the breeding house today to broaden your horizons and see what kind of Pokémon are high-quality and what are ordinary or inferior Pokémon. If you can't even tell this, forget about becoming an excellent trainer."

It takes about 40 minutes to drive from the villa community to Dafuyuan Commercial Street in Wen'an County. This is the most prosperous place in the county. There are cinemas, game halls, clothing, cosmetics and other dazzling stores. Of course, there is also an area dedicated to elves. There is an elf-themed restaurant here. The welcoming Picosi stands at the door and is showing cuteness to the guests. There is also an elf playground. Trainers treat elves like their own children and spend money to let elves play in the playground. Of course, the most shops are elf training institutions, just like the cram schools in the original world, here the elf cram schools are more varied. There are those specializing in fighting, those specializing in grass, those specializing in water, and so on.

"Welcome!" As soon as the three of them stepped into the elf breeding house, a male waiter hurriedly came up to greet them, "Are you two young gentlemen looking to choose your starting elves?" The waiter receives many newcomers of this age every day, and he began to introduce them with a familiarity, "I want to know your price range and preferences, so that it will be easier for me to introduce you."

"Let's take a look ourselves first. We'll call you when we need an introduction, okay?" Jia Wencheng waved to the waiter and motioned him to go away.

The waiter still kept his professional smile and handed over a fairy album: "The shelves are full of fairy eggs, and there is nothing to see. Here, there is a fairy album with relevant fairy introductions. It is very detailed and the price is also marked on it. If you see something suitable, you can call me at any time. You can go to the tea room to take a look. Please!"

The three of them sat in the tea room and opened the album. Wang Qiyi was surprised: "There are more than 40 choices!"

"Tsk, you're so ignorant. There are more choices in the breeding houses in the provincial capital Hangzhou, with more than ninety kinds. You're surprised by the only forty kinds here." Jia Wencheng said arrogantly. This guy always speaks with this attitude, no wonder he is bullied at school.

Wang Qiyi thought: When I played the game before, each version only had three types of plants to choose from, water, fire, and grass. I would struggle for a long time, but now there are more than 40 types. What are these? Ladybug! Orb-silk spider! Sunflower! Standing tail! Long-tailed monster...Are there no species with higher racial values?

Oh my god! Bulbasaur costs 50! When Wang Qiyi finally saw the three starter Pokémons, the price was too high. Although Master Jia said he would give him a starting Pokémon, he didn't have the nerve to ask for 50. He went to the aristocratic school with Jia Wencheng every year, and the tuition was 16 yuan per year, which was paid by Master Jia. He didn't have the nerve to ask Master Jia to help him pay 50 yuan at once.

He flipped through a few pages and found that Wang Qiyi couldn't afford the high-quality elves, but the ones he could afford were the ones he didn't like. He stood up and patted his wrinkled clothes: "Dad, Master Jia, you guys watch first, I'll go to the breeding house to take a look at the elves that have been hatched."

Wang Qiyi hummed a little tune and went up to the second floor of the breeding house. It was called a breeding house, but it was actually a large indoor zoo. Walking along the corridor, you could see more than a dozen large rooms, each of which had a group of young Pokémon playing. These were Pokémon that had just hatched, and new trainers could also choose them as their starting Pokémon. However, the Pokémon that had already hatched had been identified by experts, and the prices were marked according to their quality, while Pokémon eggs were a bit like buying lottery tickets. For example, the Bulbasaur Pokémon egg I just saw cost 50, while a high-quality Bulbasaur would sell for 300 million.

Wang Qiyi has actually been hiding a secret, that is, the elves in his eyes are different from those seen by others. He can see faint colored stripes on the elves. He asked many people, but no one else saw this thing. At first, he didn't know what this meant and didn't care. He just thought that his vision was different from others, similar to color blindness. Until recently, when he began to pay attention to the price and appearance of the elves, he discovered something unusual. The colored stripes on the elves he saw seemed to be the individual value of the elves. When playing games before, each elf had an individual value, a total of 6 dimensions: physical attack, special attack, physical defense, special defense, life, and speed. Of course, the higher the individual value, the more powerful the elf, and the individual value is determined at the moment the elf is born and cannot be changed. This is why there is a hatching clan in the game, which keeps brushing elf eggs until a elf with a satisfactory individual value is hatched.

Wang Qiyi saw six colored stripes. Different Pokémons have different combinations of the six colors. After his summary, white represents a low value, followed by yellow, orange, green, blue, and red. The order of the stripes is also distributed according to physical attack, special attack, physical defense, special defense, life, and speed. Because he saw a color combination of orange, yellow, blue, blue, green, and white on a pot, which completely matches the combination of a slow and high-defense Pokémon like Pot, he can draw a conclusion by observing a few more Pokémon for comparison. The most important thing is that the higher the individual value of the Pokémon Wang Qiyi sees, the higher the quality evaluation given by the experts.

Haven't experts ever missed something? I can't even find a single missed one. Oh, right! Am I going to be an expert in identifying elves in the future? My special ability seems to be prepared for this job. I wonder how much this job pays.

While he was fantasizing, Wang Qiyi suddenly had an idea. Something was wrong! There was a loophole...
