Pokémon: The Journey of Ordinary People

In the evening, the setting sun dyed half the sky red, and the afterglow of the setting sun gently spread in the Baidai forest.

Children from different regions sat in a circle on the grass and happily discussed with each other.

In the middle is a transparent virtual screen, so everyone can clearly see the video content.

"Come on, who wants to be the first to play the video they shot?"

Zhang Yu glanced at the children

Xiaozhi raised his hand immediately

"me!"

"Okay, then Xiaozhi goes first!"

Zhang Yu smiled, took the camera from the other party, and let the Rotom in his phone go into the camera.

The virtual screen brightens instantly, with the azure blue sky appearing first, and then the perspective slowly moves downward.

"Wow!"

"Xiaozhi took a photo of..."

"...the process of Magikarp using Water Splash..."

At the beginning, the video was shot beautifully, and there were camera movements, which made everyone look forward to it.

But suddenly a stupid Magikarp appeared behind him and jumped in the water for three minutes.

This feeling is like when you find that the main course at the end of a meal is rice, you can't hold it in

"puff--"

Several children couldn't help laughing, but Xiaozhi said seriously:

"Eh! You don't understand, I'm just studying the process of Magikarp evolving into Gyarados!"

Xiao Mao stared at his shoes, a drop of cold sweat appeared on his head. He clearly asked Xiao Zhi to take pictures of Pokémon's daily life.

The previous scenes were all set up, but this guy ended up shooting Magikarp all the time

"Damn it! How come you have the same idea as me!"

Misty muttered, seriously suspecting that Ash also wanted to be a Water Pokémon Master

“This is not funny, kids.”

Zhang Yu signaled everyone to be quiet

"Xiaozhi took this photo. I think it's pretty good. At least he has his own goal."

“In fact, shooting Pokémon videos is also a process of finding a goal.”

"Little Intelligence has its own thoughts, which I think is great."

Zhang Yu said, giving Xiaozhi a thumbs up

"Brother Ayu..."

Xiaozhi's eyes were filled with tears. After all, he was only 7 years old. He felt that his hard work was not in vain after being recognized by the king.

"Um, wipe your nose first..."

Zhang Yu awkwardly took out a tissue and handed it to Xiao Zhi.

Then continue to invite the children to play the video

"I filmed a Pikachu practicing free fighting..."

Hiro introduces to everyone that he likes Pikachu very much. After failing to photograph a flying Pokémon, he soon discovers a Pikachu boxing against a tree.

Just caught it

In the picture, Pikachu is shouting "Pikachu, Pikachu" and waving his fists. It's so cute!

Some girls have hearts in their eyes.

But the queen flower next to Zhang Yu looked a little strange

[Why does this Pikachu keep scolding the speaker cricket? ]

----

The sharing session lasted for an hour.

The children more or less took photos of the Pokémon they observed.

At the same time, I also have my own views on Pokémon, which is no longer a simple idea of ​​​​capturing Pokémon.

Zhang Yu recognized and encouraged their achievements, and took out the Pokémon badges he had prepared in advance as rewards.

Then he said seriously

"Kids, two weeks have passed and our first stop of the trip is coming to an end"

"I believe everyone has gained a lot during this time, including a healthy body, friends to talk to, and seeing many Pokémon from the Sinnoh region."

Xiaozhi and others nodded.

"Then our second stop is the Great Wetland!"

"There, you will begin your real life as a trainer. Everyone will have the opportunity to find a Pokémon partner, but you won't be catching any Pokémon."

"It's about becoming friends with Pokémon. Then it will be a test to see if you can gain Pokémon's approval."

I briefly talked to the children about the next stop.

Their eyes lit up with gold. Please, partner up with Pokémon in advance!

So exciting!

"But... before that, I want to hear your opinions on Pokémon..."

"Are they friends, family, or... tools?"

Speaking of the latter part, Zhang Yu's voice was a little solemn.

In fact, although some simple creatures like Pokémon will attack humans or other Pokémon, most of them are influenced by instinct and acquired factors.

The Pokémon that choose to enter the Poké Ball all recognize the strength or feelings of their human friends.

[Of course, there are also people who don’t like trainers at first, but become partners after getting used to each other]

Otherwise, with their powerful strength, it would be easy to deal with a trainer. Even if they are knocked unconscious and enter the Poké Ball, there are many Pokémon that will not listen to the trainer's command and escape after coming out.

So, this is why rare, powerful Pokémon are difficult to capture.

It is really a fantasy that a mythical beast would be cheated away for a small benefit.

Without long-term companionship and recognized strength, powerful Pokémon will not be interested in ordinary trainers.

Chiaki's Moltres was also a result of his trials by the Moltres tribe, and finally he was recognized by a young Moltres and became his partner...

End of random thoughts

Zhang Yu saw the children in front of him were chattering about

"I think Pokémon are like friends, willing to travel with you and grow together..."

Xiaoxia put her hands on her hips and expressed her thoughts in front of several children.

"Eh? But doesn't Misty want to be a Water Pokémon Master? What if a Water Pokémon doesn't want to be a Master?"

Xiaozhi asked the soul question

"...Then why don't I just look for a Pokémon that's willing to be a Master as my partner?"

Xiaoxia was a little mad. This question was a bit too profound for her, who was only 7 years old.

It involves philosophical issues between humans and Pokémon

"Indeed, if you and your Pokémon don't share a common goal, forcing them to be together is counterproductive."

Zhang Yu felt that what Xiaoxia said was right. You can't force your Pokémon to fight just because the other party doesn't want to fight.

Pokémon like Dragonite are born to love peace.

It doesn't mean that if you tame it, it will become fond of fighting.

"Hehe, you're still talking about me, Xiaozhi, don't you also want to be a Pokémon master~"

"What are you talking about... becoming friends with all Pokémon~"

"The world is so big, you can't take your captured Pokémon with you everywhere you go. You can't just leave your previous partners with the professor when you go to a region~"

Xiaoxia raised her eyebrows and asked the same soul-searching question:

"Um...this..."

Xiaozhi's CPU is about to burn out, indeed. In this case, he can't capture too many Pokémon, otherwise it would be irresponsible to them...

Xiao Mao, who also heard the question, fell into deep thought.

Zhang Yu smiled slightly, shook his head and said

"No, Xiaoxia, maybe you have captured a lot of Pokémon, maybe you don't have that much time to accompany them."

"But, as long as you don't forget each other and cherish this friendship, even if you separate in the future, it will be a precious memory~"

"Friendship is a pearl, and memories are diamonds. Both are equally rare, but friendship may have an end, but memories will always remain in our minds..."

Ps:

I really hope Xiaozhi will not forget his old friends and show his talents in top competitions.
