Stonehill Quarry
The gigantic Onix loomed large in the sun, its massive size almost dizzying.
"What the heck is this? It's like a monster."
"This is Mr. John's pet. I heard it's called a Pokémon... but it's too exaggerated."
"It's too big, my God, can this thing also be considered a pet? That tail could literally smash a person."
"How can its whole body be like this? Oh my god, wasn't it forbidden to become sentient after the founding of the People's Republic?"
The workers in the quarry all gathered around, looking at Onix with amazement and terror, chatting amongst themselves.
But without exception, they were shocked by Onix's presence.
If it hadn't been confirmed that Onix wouldn't go berserk...
John had a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and the shocked eyes and expressions of those around him gave him an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
Cool!
It felt even better than being praised by friends and outsiders after a successful business!
"Onix, are you full?" John smiled at Onix.
Onix let out a low cry, leaned down, and put its big head in front of John.
Jason, who was standing beside John, looked envious, but the bald man beside Jason was almost scared stiff.
"Okay, okay, so big and charming every day."
John patted Onix's horn lightly, finding it amusing.
Although Onix's size was intimidating, John found that Onix's temperament was exactly as the owner had described: very gentle and even affectionate.
Mmm, the contrast is adorable!
"Mr. Jason, thank you for your help today."
Taking out the Poké Ball and returning Onix, the surrounding quarry employees were shocked again. John passed the fee to Jason and laughed.
"You're too polite, Mr. John. Honestly, if your Onix was used to dig rocks, it would be a great asset."
Jason shook his head hurriedly, then spoke with admiration.
With such a large body and capable of digging, if it were used to mine stones, it would be incredibly efficient.
Mining and quarrying have always been dangerous work, especially mining—how many people die in illegal mining every year?
No one knows for sure, but as the owner of the quarry, he had some insight.
If Onix could help, the work efficiency would skyrocket, and there would be no need to worry about danger. After all, Onix could dig and wasn't afraid of mine collapses.
"Maybe." John smiled lightly, nodding and saying goodbye to Jason.
What a joke? Want to buy my Onix? Dream on.
Of course, John heard Jason's subtext and didn't even consider it.
Time blinked to the afternoon.
The Ruan Family.
"Huh? Dad, why are you home so early today?"
After Rachel and Ryan entered the door, they unexpectedly found that Mr. Ruan was already sitting in the living room, which was quite unusual.
"There are guests coming today, so go eat first."
Mr. Ruan was obviously deep in thought and replied without looking up.
The Ruan siblings exchanged glances and shrugged.
"What on earth is this?"
Mr. Ruan looked at the video on his phone and fell into deep thought.
In the afternoon, he received a message that a college student and teacher had encountered the tiger that escaped from the zoo in the western suburbs.
But before he could get angry, the information that followed shocked him.
Two students, using three strange creatures, resolved the tiger?
After that, several videos were sent. The first video was of the incident, recorded by a student present at the time.
"It's not like anything from Earth..."
Mr. Ruan watched as the girl in the video directed the magical creature to freeze the tiger in a few moves, still feeling shocked even now.
This was simply outrageous!
It involved fire, water, and ice, which upended his worldview!
Most importantly, according to the information obtained by the western suburbs police from the two students, these magical creatures called Pokémon were purchased by them at a pet store in the city...
Pet store?
Jingle ∼
The doorbell rang suddenly, interrupting Mr. Ruan's thoughts.
"Uncle Ruan, I'm sorry to disturb you."
"Come in."
Mr. Ruan opened the door, and what greeted him was John and a strange young man.
John was also familiar to him; he was the son of a friend.
"What brings you here today? And who is this?"
Back in the living room, Mr. Ruan frowned slightly when he saw John, who was present with a large bag.
"Ha~ Uncle Ruan, it's not me, it's the one next to me. He has something to discuss with you."
"Hello, Secretary Ruan, I am Alex, the owner of a pet shop."
Alex introduced himself to Mr. Ruan with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Pokémon House pet shop?"
Mr. Ruan noticed this keenly, narrowing his eyes slightly. The name Alex wasn't unfamiliar to him.
According to the message he received, the owner of that pet shop was Alex.
"Yes, it seems that Secretary Ruan has some knowledge of it."
Alex smiled and nodded.
Mr. Ruan stared at Alex. He hadn't sought him out yet, but Alex had actually taken the initiative to find him...
"John, go to the kitchen and join your friends Rachel and Ryan for a meal."
After being silent for a while, Mr. Ruan spoke to John.
"Okay, Uncle, you guys talk first."
John understood what Mr. Ruan meant, and he was no longer needed for the conversation.
Originally just a matchmaker, John replied to Mr. Ruan very well-behaved, got up, and walked toward the kitchen.
"Mr. Alex, let's go in and talk."
"Thank you, Secretary Ruan."
Mr. Ruan led Alex to his study.
"To be honest, I've lived for over 40 years, and this is the first time I've learned there are such... pets in our world."
Mr. Ruan gestured for Alex to sit down, poured two cups of tea, and pondered for a while before speaking.
Since Alex took the initiative to come to him, it indicated that Alex had no ill intentions, so Mr. Ruan's tone was not harsh at all.
The main thing was, those creatures were truly remarkable.
"The world is vast, and even now, humans haven't fully understood it, have they?"
"Of course, but your pets are a bit too magical. You didn't come here just to ask me to legalize your pets, did you?"
Hearing this, Mr. Ruan was noncommittal.
The current level of human technological civilization is not low, and they have already begun exploring the universe.
But arrogance is the most terrifying enemy of humanity, and the unknown doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
At least Mr. Ruan actually felt that those 'pets' that could use magic didn't seem to be native to Earth.
"As expected of Secretary Ruan, yes, I came to see you today for more than that."
"Pokémon, as I call them, I want to introduce them to this world, and I need your help."
Alex didn't hide it either, took a sip of tea, and said to Mr. Ruan.
The Magic City is one of the four first-tier cities in the country, and as the secretary of the Magic City, Mr. Ruan's official status is actually very high, as he is the highest-ranking official in the city.
Well, the secretary is higher than the mayor.
Alex didn't hide himself at all because it wasn't necessary at all, anyway, he thought he was an alien, right?
That's right, what's up with the aliens?
"Introduce them to this world?"
Mr. Ruan's eyes narrowed and his face changed; the amount of information in this sentence was too great! Even his heart was pounding at the moment.
This sentence was obviously not hidden at all!
Pokémon really don't belong to this world, so what about the person in front of him?
Mr. Ruan frowned tightly, his heart filled with turbulent thoughts, but he still held back.
"Secretary Ruan doesn't have to worry at all, I have no ill intentions towards you, and believe me, the appearance of Pokémon will only make the world better and can help resolve conflicts between your countries."
Alex noticed the change in Mr. Ruan's expression and said slowly with a chuckle.
Although it is already 2022, the world is still not peaceful. For example, the neighboring country is engaged in conflict.
"So you have already admitted it? Where did you come from?"
"Is this important?"
Alex asked back.
"I came from a sea-blue planet, but I don't think I will go back for the time being because I like it here very much."
But Alex still answered Mr. Ruan, and his slightly embarrassed words made Mr. Ruan ponder.
"I wonder if you plan to introduce Pokémon into this world by selling them as pets now?"
A few minutes later, Mr. Ruan asked Alex in a deep voice.
To be honest, he never dreamed that such a thing would happen one day—he was negotiating with an alien!
+!
"No, no, the pet store is just my hobby for retirement, and the introduction I'm talking about isn't just that."
"I have already arranged a teleportation array in the city. As long as I want, I can have a large number of Pokémon collectively appear in the city area at any time."
Alex smiled and said, since it was going to be a showdown, he might as well be forthright.
"You!" Mr. Ruan's face changed dramatically.
He didn't know if what Alex said was true, but he didn't dare to gamble.
"Relax, Mr. Secretary, as I said, I have no ill intentions, and the introduction of Pokémon will only bring more benefits than harm."
Alex shook his head to interrupt Mr. Ruan's words.
"Your Excellency, do you know how much chaos it would cause if a large number of those creatures appeared in the city at once?"
Mr. Ruan's chest rose and fell slightly, showing that his mood fluctuated greatly at the moment, but he still steadied his mind and said solemnly.
"I know, so I didn't do it directly, but came to you, didn't I?" Alex's smile remained the same.
Mr. Ruan was silent.
"You want us to support you? To help people accept the existence of Pokémon?"
"Bingo, worthy of being Mr. Secretary, but that's not all."
Alex snapped his fingers, and a Pokémon manual suddenly appeared and floated quietly in front of Mr. Ruan, making him frown even tighter.
This...
"I hope that the government can fully support the popularization of Pokémon and cooperate with my efforts to publicize them, so that all people can know and accept the existence of Pokémon in the shortest possible time."
"Of course, I won't ask you to help for free. Now, let's talk about the benefits to the country."
Alex smiled.
He was not afraid that Mr. Ruan would refuse.
