Porygon adjusted its direction slightly, directly passed the ring it was originally going to enter, and rushed into another ring.
What it didn't notice was that after it entered the ring, a strange figure emerged from the light band in the distance. It was three-quarters similar to it and had the same red and blue colors. It looked like a hummingbird but also like some kind of weird round doll.
The key point is that this guy's head is separated from his body, and his body twitches unnaturally when it sways.
On his forehead, the huge number zero is extremely conspicuous.
-
Porygon looked up and met several astonished faces.
"Pah?"
It looked around and found itself in front of a TV in a living room, which was playing the Pokémon World Cup, a Pokémon competition that was popular in many regions.
My appearance seemed to disturb the family's good mood of watching the game.
"Ahh! Dad! Something strange came out!"
"Honey!"
"This - changing the channel is useless! Lazy Otter, please think of a solution! Please!"
“Well…”
"Dad, Lazy Otter, there's nothing I can do..."
The family jumped up in panic, but that didn't include the lazy otter, or its attempt to attack the TV but was stopped.
Porygon huddled in the corner, wondering how he was going to get out.
Under normal circumstances, it relies on data interfaces or Poké Balls to enter and exit the cyber world. It is unlike Pokémon like Rotom, which can not only enter and exit the cyber world, but can even drill through electrical wires.
Will it be like losing in some way?
Ah! Stop being distracted, you have to get out of here quickly!
Porygon tried hard to ignore the panicked gazes, successfully found a data interface, and successfully transformed from data back into a physical entity.
"Crack!"
It bowed shyly to the family, and then disappeared in a flash.
This exit is not far from the trainer's exit, so I guess the room where the trainer lives should not be far away either.
The scene in front of me suddenly changed.
Porygon found himself on the street outside. Under the light of the street lamps, the traffic was very busy and noisy. Although it was already past twelve o'clock, there were still many people wandering outside. Seeing it suddenly appear, they couldn't help but cast curious glances.
“Pah…”
It decisively crawled into the shadows and quietly observed the surrounding scene. It found that the huge inner purple violet was located across the street, and behind it was a high-rise apartment with dozens of floors.
Presumably that's where it came from.
I was able to move such a long distance in an instant in such a hurry. It’s a good thing I didn’t move onto the road.
Porygon thought to himself, staring at the second level of Li Zijin who used teleportation again.
This time it appeared in a corridor illuminated by warm yellow lights. The vaguely familiar doors around it made it breathe a sigh of relief. This was definitely where its trainer was.
It flew forward, found the room according to its memory, and used instant teleportation.
Everything in front of my eyes suddenly went dark.
Then, a silver light flashed in front of it, and a huge claw came through the air at a speed that it could hardly dodge, but stopped before hitting it.
"Goohoo?"
A familiar voice came into my ears.
Porygon, who was almost scared to death, looked up and saw a pair of aqua blue eyes with a bit of surprise and helplessness. They belonged to Boskodora.
"Pah, pah."
It responded awkwardly, saying that something small had happened and it needed to report to the trainer.
Two minutes later.
Kashiwagi came out of the bathroom and became much more sober after washing his face. "So what happened?"
He looked at Porygon.
Porygon got into his phone and quickly described in words what he had just experienced in cyberspace.
"There is another Porygon in the cyberspace of Violet City that is impossible to hit?"
Kashiwagi raised his eyebrows, confused for a moment, "What do you mean?"
The Porygon in the phone was spinning in circles anxiously, like a Chihuahua. Suddenly, a small frame popped up at the side of it, showing a short video, which was the process of Porygon encountering a strange Porygon and escaping from his perspective.
He was stunned, "Huh? You still have this function?"
“Pah…”
Porygon also looked at the frame beside him with a bit of disbelief, and it was obvious that he himself didn't know either.
Perhaps some hidden system was suddenly activated.
Kashiwagi didn't take it too seriously. In order to make Porygon defeat Rotom, Professor Akihabara had added a lot of "unknown" special little functions. During their previous communication, he had said that they would be unlocked slowly and hoped that he would look forward to it.
What a ghost!
"..."
He watched the short video in silence, then took a deep breath, "Hiss! What the hell is this! It's hard for you to stay calm when encountering such a strange thing."
A ghostly Porygon...
Rotom made it?
That's unlikely. I've never heard that the electronic ghost has this kind of projection ability. Besides, why would they have nothing better to do than do such a thing?
"By the way, what are you doing in cyberspace so late at night?"
Kashiwagi suddenly realized this major premise.
The Porygon in the phone froze.
After a few seconds.
It confessed everything to its trainer.
Kashiwagi looked at it speechlessly. He never expected that his own Pokémon would sneak over and beat up other Pokémon after it disliked them.
Why would Porygon have such an idea?
This is inconsistent with its past.
Kashiwagi first gave him a righteous verbal lecture, then called this guy out of his phone and started a heart-to-heart talk.
Although he had anticipated that Porygon would reject Rotom, Kashiwagi did not expect it to develop to this point. Fortunately, Porygon did not completely hide the truth from him, otherwise he might still be kept in the dark even if something big happened.
After a simple exchange.
He understood the worries in Porygon's heart.
Worried about being replaced by Rotom.
It's a very realistic problem. Porygon knows that as a trainer he will capture many Pokémon, and Rotom pesters him so much during the day, which makes Porygon feel a sense of crisis.
What if the trainer captures Rotom?
What if the trainer prefers to have Rotom crawl into the phone to help?
What if my combat power and usefulness are inferior to Rotom's because I haven't evolved?
Pokémon, like humans, have possessiveness, which may be lighter or heavier, but it is definitely not absent. At the same time, they have a clear understanding of their position and function in the team.
Porygon may feel that he does not have a high status in the team, but there are some things he can do that other Pokémon cannot, and even if it is just a small favor, it makes him very satisfied.
The emergence of Rotom poses a threat to its status.
What it can do, Rotom can do, but what Rotom can do, it may not be able to do...
all in all.
Porygon, already anxious about its failure to evolve, was in a confused and panicked stage. Unable to understand its trainer's attitude, it chose to vent its anger on Rotom, and its possessiveness made it extremely hostile to the other party.
"I see. The source of the error lies with me."
Kashiwagi suddenly realized, sighed, and covered his face, then lowered his head to look at Porygon, who didn't dare to look him in the eye and had a rather nervous look in his eyes.
Normally speaking.
He should have noticed Porygon's feelings long ago and tried to enlighten him, but in the end he was thinking about which one of Rotom and Porygon would dominate the smart market in the future, and what he should do.
Is it important? Of course it is.
But more importantly, he looked down at his Pokémon.
Porygon is in trouble! What's the point of thinking about something that will be too early in a few years?
It’s hard to imagine how thick-skinned I am.
Maybe Dolby is an artificially created virtual life, but it has complete emotions and desires. It can be happy, sad, and want to move forward with its companions. As a trainer, shouldn't I know this best?
In the end, he only looked at the "big picture" and was so focused on making Porygon flourish that he didn't even pay attention to his own Pokémon.
If he hadn't met that strange phantom Porygon and Porygon hadn't spoken it out on his own initiative, he might still be immersed in his vision of the future.
That's the thought.
How is it possible to make Porygon's trust level in himself reach six hearts?
I originally thought that there was something wrong with Dr. Akihabara's judging criteria, but now it seems that he is the one with the problem.
Kashiwagi knelt on one knee, slowly hugged Porygon and said, "I'm sorry, I just said something thoughtless to you as if it had nothing to do with me."
"Pah...?"
Porygon never expected that the trainer would apologize to him, and immediately became at a loss.
There's no need to say sorry.
Because it was indeed wrong. It shouldn't have provoked Rotom, otherwise it wouldn't have encountered such a strange thing.
"I should have apologized."
