Chapter 38: Missing

Afternoon, Dead Leaf City.

Dead leaves refer to the orange-yellow color at dusk.

Pure white, evergreen, dark gray, splendid blue, dead leaves... The cities in Kanto seem to have something to do with color.

Zhou You and Ye Zi finally registered their information before the evening, made an appointment to challenge the gym owner, and then contacted Professor Oak through a video call.

When the two told Professor Oak that they had obtained half a box of fairy milk, they almost spilled the instant noodles in the old man's hand.

Galar, that is a region where the royal family exists in name only, and almost all enterprises are controlled by a certain group, strictly controlling the inflow and outflow of production materials such as elves!

Therefore, Professor Oak immediately thought that the two were likely to have robbed a smuggler, but he also reacted quickly.

Of course, two rookie trainers who had just left Pallet Town for less than a month could not have such strength and fate!

And when the two told the origins of this group of fairy milk in this way...

Click, splash!

The instant noodles in Professor Oak's hand finally spilled on the ground.

A male Caterpie... gave birth to a litter of fairy milk! ?

Professor Oak was so excited that his face almost turned red. He didn't care about the instant noodle soup that splashed all over his pants, and hurriedly asked Zhou You and Ye Zi to send the extra fairy milk to him.

Unlike the animation, the first generation of illustrated books in this era only had very basic functions.

There was about one-tenth of system memory, one-tenth of infrared and networking devices, three-tenths of scanning elves to obtain information, and one-half of crosstalk and various miscellaneous functions to fill the extra space.

In short, the illustrated books of this era could not be used as mobile personal transmission devices for the time being, so the two had to arrive at the Vermillion City Pokémon Center to transmit the remaining 13 fairy milk to Professor Oak.

During the transmission for the doctor, Zhou You, who used this function for the first time because the Pokémon reached the upper limit, discovered a strange anomaly.

"Hmm?"

The computer at the Pokémon Center has three options for him to use:

→ Masaaki's computer (Pokémon storage system)

→ Zhouyou's computer (item storage system and mail system)

→ Professor Oak's computer

Masaaki, that is, Sonezaki Masaaki, is the developer of the Pokémon storage system and the time capsule system.

Any trainer can send extra Pokémon to him through Masaaki's computer, and then use Masaaki's computer as a transit station to send them to various places in Kanto.

The trainer's computer is used to store extra items (item storage system) and add friends and send mails between trainers.

Unfortunately, in this era, neither mobile phones nor computers are popular. This function is redundant and inconvenient, and few people often use it.

As for Professor Oak's computer, it is the permission that Oak gave to the three giants of Pallet Town, so that they can skip Masaaki's transit station and transmit with Professor Oak anytime and anywhere.

At first glance, everything seems normal, but the problem is——

The language and characters used in the Pokémon world are neither Japanese, nor Chinese, nor English and other 8 languages, but independent languages ​​and characters.

For example, Zhou You's name is actually a string of letters with a pictographic flavor.

But why are the two words "Zhou You" in "Zhou You's Computer" displayed in Chinese characters! ?

After thinking for a while, he concluded:

"It's good! Have I finally started to develop the habit of converting the letters in my eyes (Pokémon world characters) into familiar characters (Chinese characters) in my mind?"

————This is the first time that Zhou You missed his computer (NS) and the massive props that materialized with his journey.

Under the call of Arceus, how could the collision of the two worlds not have any residual sparks (referring to benefits)... But someone with too strange a brain circuit obviously hasn't realized this yet.

After all, Zhou You is not rich enough to have extra items to store in the computer space.

…

“Miss Joy! Please save my Pikachu!”

Not long after all the fairy milks were transferred, a familiar voice came from behind.

Zhou You looked back and saw that it was indeed the Xiaozhi with two “Z” letters on his face.

“Qiao Qiao, Ye Zi, why are you here?”

Xiaozhi was surprised to see his fellow countryman, but soon put aside his distracting thoughts and ran to Joy to hand over Pikachu.

“And these, Squirtle and Pidgeot, all three of them have been severely electrocuted, please save them quickly!”

After taking the three Pokémon from the other party, the experienced Joy immediately judged that they were seriously injured, and with a serious face, she put them on a tray similar to a dining cart and pushed them into the medical room.

In the empty corridor, her compassionate sigh seemed to still echo.

Since the opening of the Quartz Competition, how many Pokémon have been electrocuted to the point of death?

The gym owner from the United States really didn’t know how to control the severity of his attack!

But then again, it was outrageous for this boy to take Squirtle, Pidgeot and an unevolved Pikachu to fight against an Electric Gym!

Seeing his three dying Pokémons being taken away for treatment, Xiaozhi, looking lonely, sat in the hall in a mess.

"It's okay, Xiaozhi, it's just a loss. Which trainer hasn't lost a game? Just wait for a while before challenging again." After finally finishing the teleportation work in his hands, Ye Zi went over to comfort him.

Xiaozhi was still in a state of daze.

As Ye Zi said, losing a battle is not terrible.

But the fact that Shishi Ma defeated Pikachu easily with Raichu with absolute overwhelming momentum made him lose some confidence.

Pikachu and I actually lost so thoroughly?

The most important thing is that my Pokémons were seriously injured because of my mistakes!

This is what frustrates Xiaozhi the most...

Just when Ye Zi was feeling a little worried, the door of the Pokémon Center opened again, and a beautiful figure wearing a miniskirt and a belly-baring outfit ran in breathlessly.

"Xiao... Xiaozhi... why are you running so fast!" It was Xiaoxia, who was traveling with Xiaozhi, who caught up with him, "Hey, aren't you Qiaoqiao from last time?"

"Long time no see, Xiaoxia, what happened?" Zhou You also asked curiously.

He clearly taught Xiaozhi a lot of battle common sense in the past few years?

Is this the inevitability of history?

Xiaozhi is destined to suffer for 20 years?

What about Xiaogang?

After Xiaoxia's narration, the two finally understood what Xiaozhi had encountered.

Due to the failure of command, Xiaozhi was unsurprisingly killed by Ma Zhishi with a Raichu, and the ruthless Ma Zhishi also electrocuted all his Pokémons and seriously injured them.

So far, it is quite normal (?).

But because Xiaozhi did not train the Pokémon at all, and brought a few unevolved Pokémons to challenge him against their attributes, he accused him of being a failed and hopeless trainer.

Zhou You: Thank you, I feel attacked.

This made Xiaozhi feel very guilty, and he once doubted whether he was really a qualified trainer.

As for Xiaogang?

He was slow, and seeing that he could not catch up with Xiaozhi who was moving at high speed, he might have gone to chat with some big sister on the way!
