Chapter 74 Caracalla and Galagala
Since Eden temporarily left the team and could not challenge the more difficult Psychic Gym, Zhou You took his elves to Route 8 for an outing.
The roads near big cities like Golden City are well maintained. This place, which is close to Aster Town, is basically a straight road with trees planted on both sides to distinguish the sidewalk from the habitat of wild elves.
The gym trainers of Golden Gym would patrol the surrounding area from time to time and repel the more powerful elves to areas far away from the sidewalk.
In other words, the Pokémon world of this era is a standard high-welfare, low-birth society.
A series of simple tasks such as animal husbandry, planting, production, labor and even power generation can be done by elves, and humans can use their own intellectual advantages to assist and guide elves on how to use their own power.
In addition, this world is vast and sparsely populated. In order to avoid threats and attacks from wild elves, in various areas dominated by the alliance, humans tend to gather in major cities, towns and villages.
Most mechanical labor is basically done by elves, and the work that ordinary humans who are not technical and intellectual can do is actually quite limited.
However, thanks to the elves, most of the resources in the Pokémon world are basically seriously overflowing. You can keep your life at a comfortable level by doing anything - even the ordinary underage insect catcher on the roadside can be hung with Poké Balls filled with insect Pokémon!
Poké Balls at 200 yuan each have long been in most people's homes, and the monthly rations of 400 to 500 yuan per Poké Ball can meet all the nutritional needs of non-combat Pokémon.
With such advanced black technology, the price of artificial evolution items such as Fire Stone is also decreasing year by year. Even in the distant Unova region, artificial meat is being put into the trial stage amid the calls of people who love Pokémon.
Of course, raising 6 Pokémon is still a bit of a burden for ordinary families. Even the natives who generally have several houses in the capitals of countries traveling around the earth, how many families have 6 cats/dogs?
At least the author's family only has a Corgi and a Shiba Inu, and just added a tabby cat last month.
Even if the economic conditions are good, there is no energy to take care of pets...
The people here choose to work only for their own interests and fun.
And almost every household has one or two elves. Who would be eager to have children with elves?
Maybe in the past, there was an era of war, plunder and killing between people and elves, but now under the guidance of many legendary Pokémon in charge of divine duties, people and elves live in peace is the main theme of this world.
Zhou You can be said to have traveled to an era of heaven.
Having said that, although it is enough to ensure a well-off life, it is actually quite difficult to go one step further - Zhou You still remembers the bicycle worth 1 million in Hualan City today!
Artworks, collectibles and luxury goods are mostly very expensive, which are not something that ordinary families can afford.
It's just that the welfare is so high and life is easy and happy, most people don't have that motivation.
It doesn't matter.
However, for two types of people, money is still never enough.
One type is Zhou You, a trainer who has no stable income and background but still aims to be a professional.
This is like a family-oriented person who wants to pursue art as his lifelong pursuit. Often, before even taking the first step, he has to change his career to do more profitable work for a living.
For example, to cleanse Jews or something?
Another type is a lazy dog who is idle. After all, even if he relies on the perfect social welfare of the alliance, he can only have enough food and clothing at most.
Team Rocket... Rainbow Group, which is a large-scale legal listed company across regions, specifically accommodates a large number of these two types of people and anti-alliance elements.
They capture common, highly deterrent, easy to train, and fast-forming Pokémon armed forces in batches, and use high welfare and high treatment to win over their members. It has taken two generations more than ten years to form a behemoth in Kanto and Chengdu that is difficult for the alliance to eradicate.
Even some people in the alliance have colluded with Team Rocket.
(Player's perspective) As we all know, senior intellectuals such as Xia Bo and Dr. Fuji, who are well-known in the League, have cooperated with Team Rocket to conduct inhumane experiments that are not allowed by the League because of a momentary delusion.
The result of that experiment is the artificial elf Mewtwo, which will take revenge on all mankind in the near future!
Short-sighted humans will eventually pay the price for their actions.
"It's just a picnic, why do you suddenly think of such an unpleasant thing."
Zhou You sighed silently, and then looked at the Pokémon Tower looming in the distance.
The Pokémon Tower is a 7-story Pokémon cemetery. Kanto people usually bury their Pokémons there after they die, and almost every day someone goes there to commemorate them.
Unknowingly, he has actually walked to the vicinity of Ziyuan Town.
Because he doesn't like to stay in the Poké Ball, the leftovers that he let out to run wildly outside followed the sight and immediately scratched the ground and barked as if facing a great enemy.
It sensed something dangerous.
"Don't worry, I may be the trainer who is least afraid of ghosts in the world." Zhou You smiled and touched the dog's head, "Let's go to the Pokémon Tower to collect a high-level Gengar as an immediate combat force, okay?"
"Woo woof?"
Although he didn't quite understand where this person's confidence came from, he didn't think about it anymore. After a few seconds, Leftovers lost his memory and started to have fun in the wild again.
In contrast, Arthur, who only had two short legs and low endurance, was not so keen on long-distance travel outside the Poké Ball. He is still sleeping soundly in the Poké Ball.
It has been trained so much that it is almost difficult for it to make any progress at the stage of Charmander. Therefore, it is adjusting its state for the final sprint recently, just waiting for the best time to evolve and make a big splash.
Just as Zhou You was planning to continue moving towards Lavender Town with the thought that he had come here, Leftovers heard a human voice not far away from the sidewalk.
"Woof?"
Having received police dog training, it immediately reminded Zhou You to be more careful and calmly waited for the other party to issue an order to investigate.
"Go check it out, but be careful." After hesitating for a moment, Zhou You, who was worried that someone might be attacked in the wild, decided to go check it out.
After walking a few steps, he really heard the human voice that the leftovers mentioned before.
"Hurry up and catch up! The cubs of Caracara can be sold for a lot of money!"
"What the hell, you dare to hit me! Go catch Caracara, I'll teach this Caracara a lesson!"
