Today, ash and his two friends came to a beach.
Vermilion City is a port city surrounded by the sea.
Although there is still some distance, strictly speaking, this place is already considered the outskirts of Vermilion City.
However, it was getting dark, so ash and his friends planned to stay overnight at the lonely lighthouse next to the cliff on the beach.
"Look, there's a Pokémon!"
On the beach, a crab waving its huge claws crawled towards the three of them.
It is not big, only about the size of two palms, and it walks sideways on the beach, waving its big clamps in a very arrogant manner.
"Beep, beep. Krabby, the crab Pokémon. The red shell means it's cooked. Delicious."
"Trivia: Now is the season when crab roe is at its juiciest."
The illustrated guide automatically announced.
"What? It's a krabby, a water-type Pokémon. I want to capture it no matter what!"
As a water-type trainer, Misty immediately retorted and tried to raise her Pokéball, but was blocked by Satoshi.
"Wait, misty, this crab is red, which goes against your blue will. Give it to me!"
He spoke with reason.
misty: "?"
I was speechless.
Afterwards, with a quick operation from Xiaozhi, he captured the krabby with his bare hands before Pikachu even had a chance to make a move.
Not counting Red's adopted Pikachu, he is officially a trainer with more than 6 Pokémon.
Belong to normal people.
"Let's go, let's go to the lighthouse tonight and have a good meal to celebrate. I'm one step closer to becoming a Pokémon Master~~!"
Xiaozhi, with a happy face, pushed the two of them towards the lighthouse.
The huge metal door of the lighthouse is engraved with a large and simple mural.
Various Pokémon patterns in a drawable style are inlaid in square grids, and it is obvious that it is a bit old.
"Pica."
Pikachu pointed at one of the electric mouse images, which was very fat and round, which gave it some confidence.
It's not fat.
At most, a little fat.
Creak!
At this moment, the lighthouse door suddenly opened.
To ash's and his companions' surprise, they originally thought that there would be a simple and shabby little house inside the lighthouse.
I never expected it to be a red carpet with silk draperies and simple and elegant decorative walls, as if it were a prince's castle of some landowner.
At the end of the avenue is a staircase platform.
At this moment, there was a huge figure standing above.
The front is a pitch-black belly and several hooked claws.
On the back, there is an oval amber shell, like some kind of giant reptile, and it looks very dangerous.
"kabuto!?"
brock was so frightened that his eyes became narrow.
As a gym trainer in pewter City, he has some knowledge of fossil Pokémon like kabutops.
"Is this a kabutops? It's so big!?"
Seeing this, ash was not afraid at all, but became excited instead.
He didn't expect that the size of the kabutops could be a head taller than him.
After all, for men, size is the most important thing!
You know, there is a fossilized shell in his bag, and it may break out of the shell and be born one day.
"Can mine be this big?"
He is looking forward to it.
Suddenly, the giant fossil helmet on the platform shook.
A human voice suddenly came out from the dark body, and it sounded like a young man's voice.
"Well, I'm not a kabutops, boy, come up and touch my chest muscles."
aah didn't doubt it and bravely went up and pulled it.
As if some mechanism was activated, the kabutops suddenly emitted white smoke with a "puff" sound, and then the outer shell split in two and fell down.
Finally, a figure walked out from inside.
"Sorry, once you get in, it's hard to get out. I thought I'd have to stay in there all night."
A man appeared, rubbing his head.
This is a man who looks to be about 17 or 18 years old, with pale yellow skin, fluffy slightly curly hair, a straightforward tone, and a handsome face.
But the hairline is vaguely dangerous.
"Haha, hello everyone, my name is bill, and I'm a Pokémon researcher."
The three of them quickly greeted and responded.
"Oh, you are from Pallet Town. Then you should know Professor Oak. I am half his student."
Having said this, bill's face suddenly revealed a hint of nostalgia.
It seemed as if he was reminiscing about the good memories of the past when he discussed academic matters with Professor Oak.
"That was also the season when crab roe was at its juiciest. I remember that we set up a hot pot in palet Town."
He licked his lips, his eyes dazed.
ash and the other two: "?"
This logic is not right, right? !
"Why is Mr. Bill wearing the clothes of the fossil helmet?"
ash quickly interrupted and changed the subject.
With his drooling look, he was a little afraid that this weirdo might be able to smell the giant claw crab he just captured through the Pokémon Ball.
Upon hearing this, bill's eyes suddenly brightened, as if he had become a different person.
He was seen gently stroking the fossil helmet set at the back, expressing emotion.
"I'm experiencing the inner thoughts of Pokémon and feeling their real world."
"Have you ever thought that Pokémon are actually no different from us humans? Humans have all kinds of ideas, so what about Pokémon? It's even possible that humans are just a type of Pokémon, and there is no difference between the two."
"Since we want to pursue inspiration and feel excitement, we must follow through to the end."
Three people: "?"
Seeing the three people looking confused, bill suddenly asked a question.
"What is the difference between humans and Pokémon?"
ash looked at Pikachu and answered subconsciously:
"Humans know how to consciously control their weight."
Pikachu: "?"
"Ahem, think about it, Pokémon can use a variety of skills, but humans are not so fancy. They gave up all those various skills, but actually still retained the only skill, which is the skill of "cooperating with Pokémon to perform skills". If you think about it this way, aren't they somewhat similar?"
Hearing this, the three of them nodded.
"It seems like there is some truth to what you said."
Some Pokémon, for example, can only use a single skill.
"So I am here, practicing to understand the inner world of Pokémon, trying to understand their real world."
bill suddenly opened his arms, as if praising science, which made the three of them frown.
Can you feel the thoughts of Pokémon by wearing Pokémon clothes? Then you really understand.
Is this a Pokémon researcher? This is good enough.
It's really great.
"ash, help me ask a question"
Suddenly, red's voice rang in my mind, his tone sounding unusually urgent.
This aroused ash's interest, and he couldn't help but ask,
"Brother red, haven't you already ascended?"
red:"."
Back to the topic.
It turns out that red was recalling that in the previous video game world, he also met a man named bill who was also eager to understand the thoughts of Pokémon.
However, that bill was obviously more passionate than the bill in front of him.
He even completely merged himself with the Pokémon, pouring his thoughts and soul into a Pokémon, making it impossible for him to escape.
Later, he happened to pass by and was able to untie the fusion of bill and clefairy.
But that's not the point.
The key point is that the person in front of you has mastered the black technology that can transfer human souls to Pokémon!
This is red's most urgent thing at the moment.
"Brother red's business is my ash's business!"
ash patted his chest muscles and agreed immediately.
"Thank you, thank you."
Although red felt embarrassed, he still lowered his head slightly and expressed his gratitude with a blushing face.
When you live under someone's roof, you still have to bow your head.
He couldn't remember the last time he said thank you to someone.
"Oh, you're being polite to me, you krabby."
ash just replied nonchalantly.
red:"."
Or why not try to take it away?
In reality, ash was operating on both lines, and looked up and asked:
"Excuse me, Mr. Bill, I have a friend who wants to ask you a question."
The other three looked around, wondering where this empty friend came from.
"Do you know how to transfer a human soul to a Pokémon?"
Hearing this, bill's body trembled, his pupils shrank, and he became extremely serious again.
Even for the first time, I took ash seriously.
An ordinary country boy.
Strange, transferring human souls to Pokémon to reach the highest level of soul fusion.
This was actually an idea that bill had when he was very young, but he had never told anyone about it until now.
Even his dining buddy, Professor Oak, never mentioned it!
How did this young man know this?
"Could this friend you're talking about be you?"
He asked tentatively.
ash waved his hands quickly:
"It's not that I'm not me, it's just that kind of friend that is really rare, how should I put it"
"Half dead?"
Three people: "?"
red: "?"
