Akai stood by the window of his office, reflecting on the events of the past few weeks. The progress they had made – from founding the nation to the arrival of powerful allies – filled him with pride. Yet, despite all the development, neither Tony Stark nor Shiho Miyano had seen much of the nation. It was time for them to experience the world Akai had built in just three months.
"It's time to show you the nation," Akai murmured to himself as he summoned Shiho, Tony, Kirito, and Nami.
When Nami and Kirito entered his office, Akai smiled. "Today, I'll show you the nation we've built over the last three months. First, we'll pick up Tony and Shiho from the Umbrella base. They should see the progress as well."
Nami and Kirito exchanged curious glances before following Akai. They had seen little of the nation so far and were eager to find out what awaited them.
As they entered the Umbrella base, Kirito immediately noticed the futuristic architecture. The vast base, equipped with the latest technology and designed like something out of the future, left him visibly impressed. "Incredible... it's like a fortress from the future," he muttered.
Nami nodded, clearly amazed. "I've never seen anything like this. It's as if we're in another time."
Inside, Tony and Shiho were already waiting. Tony was deep in conversation with Jarvis, while Shiho was bent over scientific reports. When they noticed Akai and the others, both looked up.
"Tony, Shiho," Akai said, "I want to introduce you to Kirito and Nami. They recently arrived and will be part of our nation."
Tony glanced at Kirito, but before he could say anything, Kirito beamed with excitement. "Tony Stark... Iron Man! I know you from the comics in my world. You're a genius! It's an honor to meet you!"
Tony grinned. "I like the sound of that. A tech enthusiast, I see. We'll definitely have a lot to talk about."
Kirito nodded excitedly. "I have so many questions, especially about your suits and Jarvis!"
Shiho also stepped forward, smiling slightly as she greeted Kirito and Nami. "Welcome. I'm Shiho Miyano. Tony and I work on various scientific projects here to change this world."
"I'm happy to meet you," Nami responded with a respectful nod. "What you've created here is impressive."
"Let's move on," Akai said. "I'll show you the nation."
Together, they left the Umbrella base and began their tour of the nation. The streets were bustling with activity, people working on houses, building roads, or tending fields. The energy here was palpable.
"Everything you see here has been built in the last three months," Akai explained. "We've worked hard, but there's still much to do."
Shiho and Tony observed their surroundings with curious eyes. Both recognized the enormous potential this nation held. Shiho was already thinking about scientific innovations, while Tony envisioned technical improvements and plans for the city.
Nami and Kirito, on the other hand, were swept up in the atmosphere of the people. Nami, however, paused, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. "Wait a minute... this air, the weather... we're not on the ground, are we?"
Akai smiled. "Very observant. We're on a sky island. High above the ground, far from most of the world's threats."
Nami looked impressed. "A sky island? I've heard stories, but experiencing it firsthand is something else entirely."
Kirito gazed into the distance, feeling the freedom of the high-altitude air. "It feels like we're disconnected from all the world's problems."
The group continued their tour and soon approached a large settlement.
"This," Akai said with a slight smirk, "is Pokémon City."
As they drew closer, the eyes of Shiho, Tony, and Kirito widened in amazement. They instantly recognized what they were seeing. Pokémon trainers, professors, and Pokémon – a living world they had only known from their childhood. Pokémon roamed freely everywhere, and in the distance stood a massive tree reaching into the sky. At its peak resided Arceus, the creator god of the Pokémon world.
"This is... incredible," Shiho whispered, her eyes sparkling with awe.
Tony laughed in astonishment. "I never thought I'd see Pokémon in real life. This is a dream I had as a kid."
Kirito was completely overwhelmed. "I've played so many Pokémon games, but this... this is just unbelievable."
While the three admired their surroundings, Nami remained quiet, looking around in confusion. Finally, she cleared her throat and said softly, "Uh... I don't know much about Pokémon. Honestly, I know nothing. What are Pokémon, anyway?"
Shiho, Tony, and Kirito looked at her in surprise, but then they broke into understanding smiles.
"Don't worry, Nami," Tony said, patting her on the shoulder. "We'll teach you everything you need to know."
"Exactly," Kirito added. "Pokémon are amazing creatures. Some can battle, others help with work. They're incredibly diverse."
Shiho nodded. "There are also many scientific applications involving Pokémon. They're not just cute – they're useful too."
Nami chuckled nervously but felt relieved by her new friends' helpfulness. "Okay, thank you. This all sounds really fascinating."
Akai watched the conversation with a smile. He knew that Nami would quickly adapt to this world – especially with support like this.
The group continued their journey through Pokémon City, where professors like Professor Oak, Professor Kukui, and others worked on various projects. Pokémon like Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and many others roamed freely.
"This," Akai said as they walked through the city, "is a central hub for research and training. Every Marine soldier in our nation will receive a Pokémon egg. They'll be partners, not just in battle, but in everyday life too."
Shiho, considering the scientific possibilities of this world, looked at Akai. "The combination of technology and Pokémon could truly lead us into a new era."
Tony was also impressed. "Pokémon could assist us in developing new technologies. Their abilities are incredibly versatile."
Kirito, still thrilled by the Pokémon around him, said, "I can't wait to train a Pokémon. This is like a dream come true."
Nami, although still a little uncertain, began to warm up to the idea of Pokémon. She watched some of the trainers and Pokémon and couldn't help but be impressed by their strength and loyalty.
"It seems like Pokémon can really be great allies," she said quietly as she watched a Pikachu happily scurry past her.
Akai nodded in satisfaction. "That's the plan. With allies like you and the Pokémon by our side, we'll turn this nation into something extraordinary."
The group continued their tour, and though they were overwhelmed by everything they saw, they knew this was the beginning of a new era. An era where technology, science, and Pokémon would play a role in creating a better future for everyone.
