Bang!
A huge steel snake shining with silver light suddenly rushed out from the ground with a roar!
"Roar!"
"Crack!"
The speeding Porygon knew that if it braked hard, it would easily crash into the trainer due to inertia. Even if it stopped, it might still throw the trainer off its body. So it slowed down slightly and shot out an ice-blue lightning forward.
Zip!
Ice-blue lightning fell to the ground, forming an arc-shaped ice channel that extended into the sky at the fastest speed, connecting to a high slope nearby. Porygon drove up along the slope, allowing itself to reduce speed while turning around Steelix and successfully stop.
It leaned forward slightly to help the trainer land smoothly.
Kashiwagi held the Poké Ball and looked at Porygon with great surprise.
I didn't give any orders just now. There is no doubt that this was the result of Porygon's on-the-spot judgment.
Before we knew it, Porygon had grown visibly. It was just that clumsy-looking building block duck not long ago, but now it has become so smart and clever.
"Well done! Thank you, Porygon!"
He couldn't help but praise her.
"Pah~"
Porygon was very happy with the experience, but he did not forget the enemy who attacked them.
Steel Snake, the boss of the Valley of Steel.
"Roar……"
Steelix turned his head to look at Kashiwagi and Porygon on the high slope. He was also surprised by their reaction. He thought they would crash into him directly at such a fast speed.
It took a deep breath, and its dragon breath was ready to be released.
Porygon's eyes lit up slightly, and [Texture 2] was ready.
The Armored Bird and the three-in-one Magnetomons had arrived nearby at some point, surrounding the two of them with extremely unfriendly looks.
Kashiwagi held two Poké Balls in his hands, looking calm and showing no sign of panic at all due to being surrounded.
"--stop!!"
A quick shout interrupted the group battle that was about to take place.
The fat old man who was in charge of the command stepped on the evolved Magneto, ran to Porygon, raised his arms and shouted, "Stop! Stop!"
Upon seeing this, Steelix looked at the surrounding Pokémon such as Magneto and Armored Bird, and stopped attacking.
Tie Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something when a voice came from behind him.
"It is indeed Mr. Tiexuan. How come you are in the Valley of Steel?"
He turned his head and said, "This should be my line. Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
"No injuries."
"That's good. There's a danger sign outside the Valley of Steel. Why did you barge in? Look how dangerous it is!"
"Danger sign?"
Kashiwagi recalled and looked at Porygon, "Is there?"
"Pah."
Porygon shook his head to indicate that he didn't see it either.
"No? Impossible... Which direction did you come in from?"
Tiexuan looked unconvinced, but waved his hand without waiting for his explanation, "Forget it, there's no point in saying that now that you're already here. I'll take you out later. The wild Pokémon here are very hostile to foreign invaders. If you stay here any longer, they might attack you."
He turned around and said something to Steelix and the others.
The wild Pokémon of Fullmetal Valley, led by Steelix, looked at each other, turned around and left without saying a word.
Seeing this, Kashiwagi knew that Ironspin probably had a good relationship with the wild Pokémon in the Valley of Steel. Was it because of the special magnetic field here? Or was there some little story that happened?
It is possible!
"Come with me."
Tiexuan waved his hand and said, "It just so happens that my three-in-one Magneto has evolved successfully. Are you planning to go to Violet City? I can give you a ride."
"Well, thank you very much."
Kashiwagi nodded in thanks.
It was only 50 kilometers from here to Zijin City, but it was already 3pm. He had wanted to walk to Zijin City in one go before resting, so there was no reason not to take a ride now that there was a ride available.
The two men walked down the hill and along the dusty road. Tiexuan, who was generous and open-minded, took the initiative to talk to him.
Magneto and Porygon followed behind him and looked at each other without saying anything.
"I see, you're planning to challenge the Zijin Gym. What a coincidence." Tiexuan laughed. "You have good vision! Just don't go to dangerous places next time!"
"Ah."
Kashiwagi just responded.
After circling for about three minutes, a hovercraft with the color of Thunder Beast and many Thunder Beast elements came into view.
"How about it? Isn't it cool? This is my favorite car!" Tie Xuan said complacently.
"handsome."
When Kashiwagi saw this unique pain car, he inevitably thought of the hover car that the Quicksand Team had given him. He had never driven it even once because it was not as convenient as the hover motorcycle.
He put away Porygon and thanked it.
Tiexuan, who was standing next to him, took back Magneto and said, "Your Pokémon is called Porygon, right?"
"You know?"
Kashiwagi was quite surprised. He was used to seeing other people's expressions of ignorance about Porygon, so it was still a surprise to see someone recognize it occasionally.
Tiexuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Of course! When I was rebuilding part of Zijin City, I considered cooperating with Dr. Akihabara to implant Porygon into the city management system, but I gave up in the end."
"Give up? Why?"
"Because I found a more suitable Pokémon."
Tiexuan patted the car door without pulling the door handle or using the key, and the doors on both sides opened automatically.
At the same time, a voice with a slight electromagnetic sound sounded, "Welcome back~ Mr. Tiexuan~"
"This voice is——"
Kashiwagi's heart moved, and he leaned over to look inside the car. He immediately saw a familiar orange-red face on the central control screen, "Rotom!?"
"That's right!"
Tiexuan drilled into the car and showed a pair of white teeth. "The Rotom intelligent central control system is very suitable for me, an electric attribute gym leader, right?"
“This is indeed…”
He had to agree with this person.
But Porygon's defeat against Rotom or something... don't take it personally.
Kashiwagi sat in the co-pilot seat, gently shaking the Poké Ball that Porygon was in, thinking that the screenwriter's ban was so strong that even Tiexuan's thoughts were interfered with.
but.
"Why didn't you choose artificial intelligence?" he asked curiously.
In the background of the animation, various types of artificial intelligence are very developed, from Hitler's robot clone Hitloit, to the virtual intelligence of the villain Zero in Ice Sky Beam, and even some high-tech robots in developed cities.
"artificial intelligence?"
Tiexuan was holding the steering wheel and was startled when he heard this, then he realized: "Ah! Kashiwagi, you may not be from Hoenn, and you don't know about the artificial intelligence turmoil in Larus City. Although I personally hope to use artificial intelligence, other people in Zijin City have concerns."
The city of Laruse?
Kashiwagi quickly recalled the contents about Larus City.
Simply put, Deoxys I wanted to find his companion Deoxys II, but because he fell from the sky, he caused dissatisfaction to Rayquaza. The three of them made a mess in Larus City and accidentally damaged the intelligent defense system of Larus City, causing the artificial intelligence boxes there to riot.
Of course, the problem was successfully solved later thanks to the efforts of Xiaozhi and several supporting characters.
But this situation has also caused others to distrust artificial intelligence... Can you believe in Pokémon but not artificial intelligence?
Tiexuan seemed to be very proud of the [Rotom City Management System] and kept explaining relevant content to Kashiwagi along the way.
The Porygon in the Poké Ball didn't care at first, but as it listened, it couldn't help feeling unhappy.
Who made Tiexuan specifically mention that he had initially considered Porygon?
If you don't mention it, it won't feel anything at all.
The agitated Porygon caused the Poké Ball to shake slightly.
Seeing this, Kashiwagi politely responded to Tiexuan's words while putting it in the deepest part of his backpack and wrapping it with a towel so that it wouldn't hear anything.
You can't fight with Tiexuan, can you? He's still driving.
I'd better not listen and not be bothered.
-
Tiexuan's car is going quite fast.
Even though they spent most of the time traveling through the dense jungle, it only took Kashiwagi less than an hour to see the vague outline of Zijin City.
Obviously this has a lot to do with Rotom's control ability.
Like most prosperous cities, Zijin City has many tall buildings, but the difference is that there is a huge U-shaped building in the center of Zijin City.
If I had to describe it, there would be no problem in saying that it is a small city.
"Zijin City in Zijin City?"
Kashiwagi murmured softly.
Tiexuan said with great pride: "Yes! This is the Li Zijin built according to my original plan! A brand new Zijin City! The City of Joy!"
There is no doubt that the U-shaped building in front of Kashiwagi is the Zijin City in the game, but with the huge population base in the animation, the small Zijin City in the game simply cannot accommodate so many people.
