Pokémon: Did you play Pokémon today?

Chapter 162 is truly captivating...

Chapter 162 is truly captivating...

Kanto region, Shinoshima.

After a busy day, the ice sculpture queen Krona finally returned to her cozy and stylish little home.

She pushed open the bedroom door, casually removed the hair tie that had bound her long, wine-red hair all day, and let her hair cascade down like a waterfall, with a touch of lazy curls.

She surveyed the various Pokémon plush toys scattered throughout the bedroom—Jigglyphs, Jynx, Delicious—

The final target was the largest, fluffy Laplace doll next to the sofa.

Then, this Heavenly King, who always maintains a cool and elegant image in public, took a running start and jumped without any regard for his image.

As if giving up all hope, he collapsed headfirst into the arms of the giant Laplace doll!

The tall and graceful figure is squeezed by the soft doll, revealing its curves. The close-fitting special material uniform is stretched into alluring wrinkles, making the figure even more hot.

She buried her entire face in the plush toy's soft, fluffy fur, rubbing against it gently like a spoiled feline Pokémon, letting out a satisfied, muffled sigh.

A pair of long, beautiful legs encased in sheer black stockings swayed gently and irregularly in the air.

One foot still had a half-taken high heel hooked on it, bouncing precariously with the swaying of her calf.

No one could have imagined that the seemingly flawless and charismatic ice goddess in public would be so relaxed and almost childlike in her private bedroom.

"That damned A-Du! Why does he get to run off and have fun while I have to deal with this mountain of Alliance mess for him?!"

Kona abruptly looked up, remembering the mountain of tedious paperwork she'd dealt with that day. Furious, she punched the doll in frustration, yelling, "I should never have supported him to be the champion! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Her frameless glasses were hanging askew on her nose from the earlier shoving, and her carefully applied bright lipstick was slightly smudged, but she didn't care at all.

Right now, all she wants to do is completely empty her mind, which is filled with work-related tasks.

"Oh well, whatever. I guess I'm just having a run of bad luck this year, running into a boss who just washes his hands of the business—"

She sighed deeply and turned over.

Lying gracefully on her side atop a giant Laplace doll, she pulls out her phone, ready for her nightly online surfing routine, washing away the day's fatigue with the joy of silly netizens.

A background notification caught her attention.

"Shocking! A groundbreaking game is about to receive a major free update! According to a well-known game producer, a brand new hidden storyline will be included!"

Kona gracefully straightened her crooked glasses.

Although her rational mind told her that it was 99% clickbait spam, her finger still clicked on the message without hesitation.

The phone screen immediately switched, and the League Trainer Forum APP opened automatically, redirecting to the Pokémon game community interface.

A pinned announcement, highlighted in bold red font, took up half the screen!

"It's really true! Wait a minute! A major update for Pokémon?"

Kona perked up slightly and immediately clicked on it.

She herself is actually not very interested in most video games, but Pokémon is an exception because she is very, very excited about her appearance in the game!

The thought of Lorelei appearing in the game as a cold, beautiful, and powerful Pokémon who could make countless players cry out in despair, becoming an inescapable nightmare for countless trainers on their journey to challenge the League, made her secretly delighted, and a smile crept onto her face.

Upon entering the post, the words "Major Update" are prominently displayed.

The following are the specific details.

Posted by: Game Producer - Salty Fish Teacher.

Hello, dear trainers!

First of all, I, Xianyu, would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all players for their love and support of Pokémon! (bows.jpg)

To repay everyone's overwhelming enthusiasm, which is as surging as the Lake of Rage, our team worked day and night (and my wise leader).

Pokémon will receive its first major update at the beginning of next month!

The point is!

This update!

Free! Free! Free! (I'm saying it three times because it's important!)

This update will add a brand new hidden storyline!

Although this storyline does not directly affect the main storyline of the championship, according to an authoritative source who wishes to remain anonymous (that's me).

This hidden storyline is extremely important, and it might even connect to the main storylines of future generation games! (I'm a professional at planting seeds.jpg)

Furthermore, after the game update, we will simultaneously launch a large-scale "Hidden Story Uncovering" event!

If you are lucky enough to trigger this hidden storyline in the game, record a video and upload it to the Pokémon Network Platform (remember to tag it with #PokémonHiddenStory#).

At the end of each month, we will rank players based on the completeness of the storyline and the depth of their exploration, and distribute special rewards provided by the Pokémon Studio!

It aims to inspire everyone with a spirit of exploration!

I'll secretly give you a little insider information (shh-shh).

The special code name for this hidden storyline is Rainbow.

Alright, this is a secret, I can't reveal it now. If I keep going, one of my investors might come looking for me with a knife.

As for what the special reward that everyone is most concerned about is...

Hehe, I won't keep you in suspense any longer about the salted fish!

Of course, these aren't the virtual rewards from ranked matches! They're real, high-value rewards! This time, Teacher Xianyu is really going all out with this giveaway!

Do you remember those amazing items in the game?

Magical candies, learning devices, and amulet coins—these are items that seem to not exist in reality.

Do they really not exist?

That's right! Just as you thought!

The core rewards of this event are these props that "don't exist" in reality!

Of course, out of respect for the balance of the world, the effects of these items will not be 100% replicated from the game, but the difference in effect will not be too great!

for example..-·

While Miracle Candy may not directly raise a Pokémon's level, our research and tasting have shown that it can help.

It has been confirmed to have the amazing effect of gently enhancing Pokémon's constitution and slightly promoting energy accumulation, and it's completely free of side effects! (Proudly puffing out his chest.jpg)

Hey.

I bet you're all really tempted by it now, right?

Are you already itching to take your Pokémon to explore the mysteries of the "Rainbow"?

The specific rules for the event will be announced in detail along with this major update patch, so we won't go into too much detail here.

Oh, right, one last thing—my live stream will start promptly at 8 PM tonight!

Don't worry, this time there definitely won't be any more delays!

The comments section below the post was filled with messages.

"A free major update?! Salty Fish Teacher, I love you so much!!! You're my god!!! How can there be such a conscientious game developer in the world!!!"

"Thank you, Mr. Salty, and thank you, Pokémon! This game has truly helped me become a better trainer! Rattata and I will definitely strive to reach the top of the Kanto League at next year's Indigo League!"

"Ahem, a Pokémon internal data editor, top-tier Pokémon custom-made one-click refresh, guaranteed green and won't get your machine banned, exclusive technology, DM me if interested, add me on WeChat."

"Upstairs, you son of a bitch! You're a stupid scammer! You just took over 200 Alliance Coins from me and then blocked me! Why are so many people liking his posts? Brothers, let's report him together!"

"Codename Rainbow? Sounds mysterious! Could it be a hidden storyline related to Ho-Oh? Or is Team Rocket up to some kind of scheme again?"

"What the hell! Can't you guys focus on the main point?! Isn't the main point 'Magic Candy,' those in-game items?! Teacher Salty said the rewards for this event are physical versions of those items!!!"

Scrolling through the rapidly growing comments, Kona couldn't help but become very interested in the so-called "special reward".

The magic candy's effect in the game is simple and straightforward.

Unconditionally boosting a Pokémon's level by 1 is an incredibly powerful training tool, something that has never existed in reality.

But now, Bai Zhou himself claims that he will use these props as real rewards. Could this be the result of his latest research?

Wait a minute, this guy didn't present on this topic at the academic summit a few days ago, did he?

Legendary Pokémon and Gene Candy—that's quite a leap, isn't it?

"Hmph~ This guy always manages to come up with something unexpected."

Kona muttered to herself, her fingertips unconsciously twirling a strand of red hair.

"It's so tempting—"

As an old acquaintance, she naturally knew that Bai Zhou was an extremely outstanding researcher.

She even made time to watch the academic summit online a few days ago, and the speech about the legendary Pokémon system and creation myth really impressed her.

No, it wasn't just her.

Almost the entire Pokémon research community was deeply shocked by what happened that day.

The name "Bai Zhou" also gained widespread recognition through this opportunity. According to reliable sources within the Pokémon League, the Pokémon League has made a preliminary decision to award him the title of "Professor," and the official awarding ceremony is expected to be completed within this month.

"I must find a way to hold onto such a good man tightly—"

Kona licked her dry lips, a determined glint in her eyes, but then, as if remembering something, she sighed helplessly.

She's almost thirty, long past the stage of a young girl yearning for romantic love.

For her, feelings could be cultivated slowly, but excellent targets had to be firmly in her grasp first. It was just that Bai Zhou... thinking of him, sometimes incredibly intelligent, sometimes as slow as a stone, and always with that slightly smug smile.

Kona felt that the road ahead was long and arduous, and that it would be a source of endless tears.

After reading the update announcement, Kona returned to the community's main interface.

In addition to the pinned update, there was another post with a bright red "hot" tag, which was extremely popular and almost dominated the entire community discussion area.

"A legendary rising star in the scientific community! The framework of the legendary Pokémon system has been confirmed for the first time! Professor Oak confirms it himself!"

It's like my wish came true.

Kona raised an eyebrow and decisively clicked on it.

The poster's ID was "Passionate Riddle Old Man," and his profile picture was a photo of an old man wearing an exaggerated red wig and making a funny face.

Kona's lips twitched slightly; she recognized who it was at a glance.

Blaine, the eccentric yet passionate gym leader of the Crimson Lotus Gym and founder of the Crimson Lotus Research Institute.

Haha! It's me again! The riddle-solving old man is here!

I wonder if everyone watched the Pokémon Academic Summit live stream a few days ago?

Don't miss it if you haven't seen it yet! I've put the link to the live stream recording below!

Alright, those of you who were drawn in by the title must be completely confused! The legendary Pokémon system framework has been confirmed, but what does that have to do with our Pokémon games?

Haha, it's very important!

As we all know, the world of Pokémon games also contains all sorts of legendary Pokémon!

This undoubtedly gives us players an excellent opportunity to connect and explore the mysteries of reality and the game!

But here, I actually want to discuss a long-debated issue with you.

About Mewtwo!

About this man-made legendary Pokémon!

Whether it actually exists or not is not a topic for discussion here (wink~), we will only discuss its setting and role in the Pokémon games.

To which category of the Legendary Pokémon system proposed by researcher Shirafune should it be classified?

I believe it can be perfectly classified as a "Power Pokémon"!

Don't rush to refute me, let me, this old man, explain it to you slowly (making tea.jpg).

What is Mewtwo? It is the pinnacle of human technological wisdom!

It is an artificial legend perfectly created using Mew's genes! Its birth itself represents the pinnacle of technology!

(A large section of analysis regarding Mewtwo's abilities, setting, and game performance is omitted in the middle)

Although it may not be able to directly exercise natural authority like "land" and "sea" like Groudon and Kyogre, Mewtwo can be said to be the embodiment of technological authority!

Or to be more specific—it is the god of genes!

Of course, the background story and exploration information about Mewtwo in the game are still relatively limited at present.

My analysis may contain some inaccuracies, so please be understanding and let's discuss it together!

that's all.

The comments section below was even more heated.

"Maintain a skeptical attitude. Can Mewtwo really be ranked alongside those nature deities who can change the world at will? According to researcher Shirazuki, those powerful Pokémon are all beings with extraordinary power."

"This is pure bashing! Arceus, the creator god; Dialga, the god of time; Palkia, the god of space; Giratina, the god of antimatter; and the three gods of the sea, land, and air—aren't they all more powerful than Mewtwo?"

"You've forgotten the overwhelming presence Mewtwo had when it first appeared in its entirety in the games, haven't you? Compare that to the aura of Zapdos and Articuno in the games; Mewtwo's presence is absolutely crushing!"

"Exclusive news! Someone has captured a blurry, humanoid Pokémon image using high-powered binoculars in a remote forest in the Kanto region! Its appearance is extremely similar to Mewtwo! This means that Mewtwo may actually exist!"

"Buzz buzz buzz—. Let me form a bond with Mewtwo! I'd be willing to form a bond with Giratina if it meant becoming my partner!"

"You want both, right? Don't rush, send me your address, I need to ask you something."
