Pokémon: The Journey of Ordinary People

The next morning, the sun had just risen and the soft sunlight sprinkled on the sparkling sea.

Gollum-

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the calm sea surface, followed by the sound of splashing water.

A nimble sea dragon leaped out of the water and landed steadily on the broad back of the dragon.

"Ah~ Good morning, Chenglong!" Zhang Yu yawned, slowly opened his eyes and stretched his body hard.

Although he slept well last night, he still felt some pain in his neck because he was not lying on a comfortable bed.

"Woo~"

Chenglong also greeted Zhang Yu. Unlike humans, Chenglong is used to sleeping directly on the water surface. This unique sleeping posture is somewhat similar to those horses that can sleep standing up.

"Beep~"

The sea thorn dragon let out a cry, and then carefully placed the items it had harvested last night in front of Zhang Yu.

A few golden beads and a ball of soft pink hair were gently dropped by the sea dragon using its flexible tail.

"Eh? What is this? Is this the treasure you brought up from the bottom of the sea?" Zhang Yu curiously picked up a golden bead and pointed it towards the sun, which was shining with golden light.

I looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what material it was made of, so I could only put it in my backpack.

Then he picked up the ball of pink hair again. It was soft, and he rubbed it with his hands, but it didn't loosen up.

The hair exuded a mysterious aura, and Zhang Yu had a hunch that this thing was more valuable than the golden beads.

Put this ball of hair together with the scales that the sea god had given you before and put them in your backpack.

Zhang Yu rode his dragon to Honglian Island again. He would not sell anything today and would try to reach his destination before dark.

Shortly after Zhang Yu left, a pink cat-like Pokémon emerged from the water, covered with a layer of protective shield and not wet by the sea water.

"Miyo~"

Shaking its body, the mysterious Pokémon seemed to have a headache, as it had recently started to lose its hair again.

It scratched its body with its little paws, rolled the fallen hair into a small pink ball, and threw it into the sea.

Then his figure flashed and disappeared into the sea in an instant, as if he had never been there.

-

As evening approached, Zhang Yu finally saw the outline of Honglian Island. He patted Chenglong's neck and signaled it to swim in that direction.

There is a twin island next to Honglian Island, but Zhang Yu didn't want to waste time, so he ignored it.

There is a huge active volcano on Honglian Island, but it has not erupted for many years. People settled here and established Honglian Town.

Later, due to the existence of volcanic hot springs, it developed into a tourist resort. Honglian Gym was built in Honglian Town.

[The volcano on Crimson Island erupted about three years after Xiaozhi's journey, destroying all buildings except the Pokémon Center. After this incident, the Crimson Gym moved to a cave on the Twin Islands. From the Pokémon Encyclopedia]

When Zhang Yu arrived at Honglian Island, it was already completely dark.

Although there were still many trainers playing on the beach, he wanted to go to the Pokémon Center to rest first, mainly because he didn't sleep well last night.

"Drip-"

Zhang Yu had just laid down when the navigator called.

Could it be Lilia? I answered the phone with doubts.

"Hello? Who is that?"

"Good evening, Consultant Ayu! I'm meow! Didn't you provide the game plan before? We have already made a prototype! When are you free to come to Yuhong City?"

Meow meow's voice came from the phone, but the news it brought surprised Zhang Yu a little.

How long has it been? Only a week or so, and you've already got a prototype?

要知道这不是1+1=2那么简单，而是从0~1的突破。

"Sure! Meow meow, you guys are very efficient. But I'm currently on Red Lotus Island. I'll go back after I challenge the Red Lotus Gym. We'll see then."

Zhang Yu replied that if things went well, they would probably be able to return to Yuhong City next week.

"Red Lotus Island?"

Kojiro picked up the phone.

"Don't worry, Ayu, we... um... Game City has invested in the Red Lotus Research Institute."

"I'll contact their person in charge later. You can go to the research institute and see if there has been some progress in the Pokémon network." Kojiro brought another piece of important news.

"?"

"Really? They even built a network."

Zhang Yu was a little confused. Pokémon technology was too advanced.

After promising Kojiro that he would go and check it out himself, he hung up the phone.

-

other side

"Kojiro, why did you let Ayu go to the research institute, meow?" Meow Meow was puzzled.

Kojiro said confidently, "Because I have already reported this to Boss Itaki last time."

"The boss is very interested in the progress of the game. So he asked Ayu to go to the research institute to provide some guidance."

“I didn’t expect to catch up this time!”

"So that's how it is, meow~ It seems that the boss really likes this game called Pokémon World~" Meow Meow nodded in sudden realization.

But it still has doubts about this game

“Is this game really that attractive?”

-

An underground laboratory somewhere in Niijima

"Boss, the dreamlike fluctuations have been detected again in the waters of Honglian Island!"

A man dressed as a doctor said to Sakaki

"Hmm... Dream... I'm not that interested in it now."

Sakaki looked at the transparent nutrition tank in front of him. There was a strange-looking Pokémon inside, with tubes inserted all over its body.

"However, if there are more Mewtwo genes, Mewtwo can be improved..."

"By the way, Dr. Fuji, how is the research on the mental link between Porygon and Mewtwo going?"

Sakaki turned to Dr. Fuji who had just reported on his work and asked

Dr. Fuji looked a little excited when talking about this.

"It's going very smoothly! If nothing goes wrong, the Pokémon Network will probably be ready before the Quartz Conference begins!"

“But now we have to conduct a pilot project…”

Sakaki waved his hand: "This is a small problem, don't worry, take your time, I want a perfect...online world..."

After Zhang Yu's careful analysis last time, Sakaki had a big change in his heart. From the current plan, it seems that it is not difficult to make money in the Pokémon World.

He knows a lot of rich people, so it's normal for him to compare with others.

Therefore, when it comes to powerful equipment released in the game, the rich people will definitely look at them one by one and buy them crazily like taking drugs.

The consumption of wealthy people will also drive the consumption of ordinary people.

Where there are luxury goods, there are naturally ordinary goods.

Comparison is something that everyone, whether rich or ordinary, will do. [Unless you have no desires or demands]

He now wants to build a world where the Pokémon network is completely under his control.

As for controlling reality, it is indeed a bit difficult, not only to catch the beasts, but also to deal with the alliance. It is too energy-consuming.

And their Rocket Team just happened to have Pokémon like Mewtwo and Porygon, which were of great help in building the online world.

Because of this, he still values ​​Zhang Yu very much. The last time Kojiro came to him to report the situation, he also revealed that Zhang Yu did not want to join Team Rocket.

As for talents, Sakaki has always valued them, let alone Zhang Yu who has a complete understanding of the Internet.

[This is mainly because the Pokémon world has basically no knowledge of the Internet, and in the current timeline, even Xiaozhi has not traveled.]

So after hearing Kojiro's report, he also had the idea of ​​whitewashing Team Rocket.

Not only for Zhang Yu's surrender, but also for smoother promotion of the network after whitewashing.

After all, the alliance is still the boss.

However, we still need to think carefully about how to whiten it.

Seeing Boss Sakaki lost in thought, Dr. Fuji waited for a long time and finally couldn't help but said: "Boss, I have another question to report."

"We have made great progress in infiltrating the Chengdu area."

"But in Fengyuan area, they were blocked by the Water Fleet and the Magma Team." [Using the game name, the author is used to it╰(*′︶`*)╯]

After hearing this, Sakaki shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry about those guys. These two teams are idiots. For now, stop infiltrating the Fengyuan area."

"Let's first manage the Kanto and Chengdu regions well."

Itaki also had some knowledge of the Water Fleet and the Magma Fleet.

He seriously suspected that the bosses of these two teams were all brawn

Just kidding, one wants to turn all the land in the world into sea, and the other wants to turn the sea into land.

Is this an idea that a human being can have?

Sakaki doesn't care about this kind of clown.

After his Rockets are cleaned up, he’ll just give them a thunderous blow.

"Okay, I'll notify the members over there right away and ask them to gather their forces for the time being..." Dr. Fuji nodded, picked up the phone and started dialing
