Chapter 348: Empathy Music (Multi-in-One Chapter!)
He successfully hypnotized King Centipede, but the musician failed to subdue it.
Instead, he ended the impromptu concert, said goodbye to all the wild Pokémon, and left with Jigglypuff.
Obviously he doesn't have much interest in Pokémon like King Centipede. Kashiwagi thinks he probably likes Pokémon with some musical elements...
Speaker cricket?
Are there any traces of its presence in Hezhong?
Kashiwagi wasn't sure.
Seeing that the musician passed by Suanmu Ranch very smoothly, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. You must know that this farm in the game is where you can meet Riolu.
The background in the animation is probably gone because the ranch was contracted and not the wild environment full of grass in the game.
at the same time.
The musician arrived in Suanmu Town successfully.
[You came to Zuanmu Town, and the strong country style drove you to the busiest tavern here, and discussed with the boss here to play a song on stage]
Kashiwagi watched him walk into a tavern carelessly and was pushed out at an even faster speed.
[You were severely rejected by your boss because of your age. When you heard the other party said that minors were not allowed to enter, you felt a little disappointed. Your idol Homiga has been invited to perform everywhere, and you can't even play in a lively pub.
】
This boss... is a good person!
It is indeed not good to allow minors to enter a place like a pub, even if the original intention is to make music.
the other side.
Although he couldn't get into the tavern, the musician didn't give up. He simply played the guitar near the tavern door, picked a catchy tune, and sang while singing.
The lively looks of him and Jigglypuff soon attracted the attention of passers-by.
It's just that Pokémon Singers seem to be a very common thing in the Hezhong area. Although passers-by were attracted by the musicians and Jigglypuff's singing, they were not too surprised. Many who enjoyed listening to it even put coins in their guitar bags.
.
[You are very happy when you see someone putting money into the guitar bag. Although you are not short of this little money, you feel that you have been recognized and are one step closer to realizing your dream]
Kashiwagi listened to the quite touching song and saw smiling faces popping up on the musician's head. To be honest, he was a little curious as to why he would take such a path.
With his family being able to buy so many musical instruments, he must have come from a musical family and could have made a name for himself in classical music.
As a result, it didn't start in a concert hall, performance hall or even a piano room, but in a small warehouse, looking at the underground performance venue of rock singer Homiga with longing eyes.
And the musician’s parents never appear from beginning to end.
Passed away?
Or... did you quarrel with your family like a chef?
Kashiwagi feels that if a musician comes from a classical music family, but admires an underground rock singer, even if the other person is the gym leader musician's parents, they probably won't be able to accept it.
Of course, these are just his guesses so far, and there is no way to tell.
in the screen.
The musician's behavior of playing in front of the tavern quickly attracted the attention of the boss. Unfortunately, the latter was not here to invite him in, but to ask him to leave.
[You heard your boss begging you to leave, otherwise it would be difficult for Miss Junsha to come over and ask him. Considering that you might really cause trouble to the other party, you packed up your bags in despair. But before leaving, you heard a message from a passerby.
Applause, this will cheer you up again.]
It was almost dusk inside the simulator.
The musician unexpectedly did not spend the night in Suanmu Town, but went to the wild and chose to camp.
[You learned that many musicians’ works are gradually inspired by feeling nature, so you try to copy this move]
In the jungle.
The musician laid out the tent and set up a fire to solve the problem of dinner very skillfully, which surprised Kashiwagi.
This guy is not the type to open his mouth when clothes come and stretch out his hands when food comes.
"What a surprise..."
Being so independent made him inevitably have some associations.
After a simple dinner, the musician habitually took out his guitar and started playing and singing. Although he had been playing and singing all day long, this guy still had the physical strength——
[Physically strong] His talent is well-deserved, and even his inhuman physique cannot achieve this.
It's a pity.
In the evening there was only Jigglypuff's solo and the musician's solo, but it was not because the musician's voice was not strong enough, but compared to the cheerful tunes at the entrance of the tavern, the tunes at night were of a soothing and soft type.
Jigglypuff needs to use a more ethereal voice to sing, and his voice is not suitable.
"It sounds pretty good."
Kashiwagi originally only regarded the guitar sound as background music, but as he listened, he relaxed completely and continued to watch the simulation in a paralyzed posture. When he realized it, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The effect of this emotional transmission is quite powerful!
Original? Or an existing song?
He quickly wrote down the melody and called Porygon. While the musician in the simulator was still playing, he asked him to get into his phone and activate the humming and music-recognizing mode.
To be honest, this was the first time for the latter to do this kind of thing. Fortunately, the trainer still had some musical talent and didn't sing the tune out of tune, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to find it according to the melody.
"Crack!"
Porygon issued a search completion prompt on the phone.
Kashiwagi moved the screen away from the light screen and discovered that it was actually a piece of classical music, but it was played by a musician on a guitar.
It's not original...
He was a little disappointed. If this piece of music was original by a musician, maybe he could be comparable to a music prodigy like Beethoven, which was a pity.
How many of the songs you sang before were original?
Kashiwagi kept an eye out, and when his eyes focused on the light screen again, he found that the musician was surrounded by various wild Pokémon sleeping peacefully.
It's obvious that these wild Pokémon interpret the musician's guitar sounds and Jigglypuff's singing as lullabies.
The musician who saw this scene didn't care and took Jigglypuff into the tent to sleep peacefully.
"You're brave enough."
Cypress clicked his tongue.
The emulator starts to accelerate.
the next day.
The musician who opened with an exciting piece of music was about to embark on a journey, but found that among the many wild Pokémon that had dispersed, one Pokémon remained.
"Wind chimes?"
Kashiwagi saw the appearance of the Pokémon clearly, and was a little surprised that there were wild wind chimes in the Hezhu area.
This guy may have been attracted by the ethereal and comfortable music last night.
It's like a wild Pokémon captured by Sister Xiangxiang with her superb medical skills.
The musician seemed to be pleasantly surprised after discovering the wind chimes. A heart appeared on his forehead, which was completely different from his behavior when he encountered the Centipede King.
[You have discovered the wind chime that you have always been interested in. The latter is said to be able to display seven different beautiful tones. This is the best travel companion for you who have the dream of being a musician]
The musician did not hesitate to send Jigglypuff to try to conquer the wind chimes.
Unexpectedly, the latter barely resisted.
The harvesting process was extremely smooth.
[You have conquered the wind chimes, and new members of the band have been added]
Band member?
Kashiwagi confirmed that he had read the narration correctly and realized that to the musician, his Pokémon were probably teammates in a band.
Then some of the later Pokémon will probably be related to music.
As for the Hezhong area...
Sand bell cactus?
There can't be a Meloetta. The Meloetta in the anime is a very important existence... Well, there is no evidence to prove that there is only one Meloetta.
There are even two Magearnas, so what does it mean to have two Meloettas?
Maybe with the help of Meloetta, musicians can win the Higaki Tournament, or even defeat one or two of the Unova Four Heavenly Kings?
To be honest, what kind of reward would be on top of that? He was really looking forward to it.
Kashiwagi had a sweet dream silently, and the musician also came to the location of the first gymnasium - Hinohan City.
[You have arrived at Hinoken City, which is located in the southwest of the Hezhong region. It is built at the foot of a mountain. Standing at a high point is enough to get an overview of the entire Hezhong region]
【You see this prosperous building
In the city, instead of rushing to the Hinoki Fan Gym, we stood in the place with the most traffic and started today’s performance with Jigglypuff and Wind Chime Ling]
Although the wind chimes have just joined the team, under the guidance of the musicians, the bells are naturally mixed into the guitar sounds, as an accompaniment to the musicians and Jigglypuff's singing.
Judging from the smiling faces frequently shown by the wind chimes, it seems that it is a very happy thing to play with the musicians.
In reality.
Kashiwagi quickly wrote down the melody and repeated it to Porygon, and the latter did not disappoint him. He successfully found the original song of the musician's performance - it was still a very old classical music, which he changed to
Guitar version with a few lyrics added.
Why is it not original... Could it be that he is also a music tailor?
No, no.
The musician has never claimed that what he is playing or singing is his own original composition, and he has not even posted it on the Internet, but simply performed it for others to listen to.
But such a musical dream is probably difficult to realize...
After all, if you want to become famous in music, you have to rely on originality. Blind imitation is useless.
Kashiwagi watched as people kept investing money into the musician, and he was very curious about how he would go down the road next.
Not long after.
The musician who satisfied his desire to perform finally headed to the first gym.
Hinoki Fan Gym.
As expected, the owner of the gym is Mr. Black Lotus, Black and White's great rival, and the main battle venue is set up in the backyard of the trainer's school.
[You challenged the leader of the Hinoki Fan Gym, Black Lotus]
After the narration appeared, the two pixel villains each released their Pokémon.
Since it was the musician's first badge, Black Lotus only used Exploration Mouse and Hayok to fight against it, and the musician's fighting method was just as Kashiwagi expected -
By playing music.
From beginning to end, he didn't give any verbal instructions. He just used the speed and rhythm of the guitar to remind Jigglypuff what to do and when to break out.
In a sense, this can also be regarded as a manifestation of "telepathy".
Otherwise, how could Jigglypuff know what he should do through the melody? At this moment, music has become a bridge for them to communicate, establishing a secret connection that is completely incomprehensible to others except the two of them.
Black Lotus was obviously shocked by the performance of the musician and Jigglypuff. When he found that his Pokémon was losing ground in front of Jigglypuff, unable to resist, an expression of admiration appeared on his forehead.
final.
Jigglypuff used two soprano shots - [Big Sound], and successfully defeated Hayok and Detective Mouse, and the musician just finished playing the last note.
The performance is over.
The only audience member, Hei Lian, applauded him.
[You defeated Heilian, the leader of the Hinoki Fan Gym, and got the basic badge. Heilian admires your musical talent and fighting talent very much, and thinks your future is limitless]
[You thanked Black Lotus very happily]
"Battle Dance... Even Shang Zhi couldn't use this style of play, but I saw it in the simulator." Kashiwagi deeply felt that the double-blue genius was extraordinary.
With this unique talent alone, a musician may be able to achieve impressive results.
And after getting the first badge.
The musician who returned the same way did not regard Liyong Gym as his second goal.
[You decided to challenge your idol Homiga for the eighth badge. You feel that only with her approval can you play music without any scruples at the Higaki Festival]
Ah~
I see.
Kashiwagi showed a clear look, and immediately saw the musician returning to his residence in Liyong City. He first took care of his own instrument himself, and then took away several other instruments after hesitating for a while.
[You realized during this short trip that the old guitar has fulfilled your determination, but if you want to play some songs better, other instruments are essential]
He stuffed a bunch of musical instruments that Kashiwagi could not recognize, such as clarinets, violins, etc. into his space backpack. The originally empty backpack suddenly became extremely full.
However, he still took the guitar outside and did not stuff it in together.
Done all this.
The musician went to Pokémon Hollywood located behind Liyun City to watch a few movies starring Homega's father, and then boarded the ferry to Feiyun City.
When sailing.
A musician stood on the bow of the ship and blew the trumpet. The loud sound spread far and attracted the attention of countless passengers.
Kashiwagi changed his posture slightly.
"There's still no clue about his life experience...are you not ready to reveal it?" He murmured to himself.
The screen changes.
The musician has arrived in the largest metropolis in the Pokémon world——
Feiyun City.
Skyscrapers and ordinary high-rise buildings stand side by side, and the bustling scene represents that it is the commercial and economic center of the Hezhong area.
Even though it is a pixel style, Kashiwagi can’t help but feel a majestic atmosphere.
What concerned him even more was the narration.
[You look at this familiar yet strange city, and you didn’t expect that you would come back so soon. It’s a pity that things have changed, and what you lose can never come back again]
The narrator clicked lightly without going into details.
The musician also uncharacteristically gave up the street performance with Jigglypuff and Wind Chime and went directly to Feiyun Gym.
The owner of the museum, Arti, is an artist who is good at painting and has held many personal exhibitions. In the words of the former, he has fulfilled his dream.
The musician was so envious of Arti that the melody for this battle was played on the violin, with a fast and aggressive tempo.
Affected by him, Jigglypuff's combat effectiveness has been significantly improved, and Kashiwagi on the sofa has been affected, and his blood is boiling and he wants to fight with any Pokémon.
The significant amplification effect made Arti completely unable to parry with the current lineup, and lost to Soprano Jigglypuff.
Its loud sound is really terrifying. Even though it is in pixel style, you can still feel the powerful power brought by the sound, the kind of waves that seem to vibrate together.
[You defeated Feiyun Gym Leader Yadi and obtained the Beetle Badge]
[During your communication with Ati, you learned that the other person seemed to have some impression of you, which made you run away and quickly left Feiyun Gym]
The musician ran out of the Feiyun Gym as if he was running away. After checking the status of the Pokémon at the Pokémon Center, he hurried to his next destination.
I neither tasted Feiyun ice cream nor sang on the crowded streets.
It was obvious that the audience could be found everywhere, and there were many more than before.
Kashiwagi knew very well that the musician's past must be related to Feiyun City. Perhaps for him, Feiyun City was a sad place that he could not face.
It seemed to confirm his guess.
The musicians walking on Route 4 played the guitar full of sadness, and Jigglypuff's singing voice also changed from a soprano to a melancholy alto. The wide range of his voice was shocking.
I remember that the illustrated book described Jigglypuff as having a vocal range of more than 12 scales and being able to change the wavelength of his voice at will. His fantastic voice conditions made him a natural singer.
It's just that there is a gap between Jigglypuff and Jigglypuff. Some Jigglypuffs actually don't sing very well because they don't grasp the notes accurately.
This is not the case with Musician's Jigglypuff.
The depressive ditty ends in front of a campfire.
The next day.
After the musician got up, he found a cactus in front of the tent - the Sandbell Cactus. When the body swayed, it would make a sound like a sandbell.
After listening carefully for a while, his eyes lit up and he decisively abducted the guy.
[You have conquered the Sandbell Cactus, and new members of the band have been added]
Have you successfully purchased another accompaniment?
Kashiwagi nodded secretly for the musician and continued reading.
He discovered that although the latter did not view Pokémon from a battle perspective at all, he was surprisingly talented in cultivating Pokémon.
At least the few trainers he met during this short trip were no match for the two Pokémon he "newly captured". In the game, due to race value distribution and attribute issues, almost no one cared about the Sand Bell Cactus in the music. Under the nurturing of his family, he burst out with extraordinary fighting power.
The chlorophyll properties also complement it.
Not to mention wind chimes, as a super power attribute
As a sexual Pokémon, it is best at attacking opponents with invisible power. The two Pokémon can often defeat the enemy very easily as long as the attack frequency matches the rhythm played by the trainer.
[Your Pokémon gradually understand the music you play, and the bond deepens]
Bai Mu, the narrator, saw this line and was happy in his heart.
Maybe the possibility of winning the championship is high?
It should be big.
After all, there is a boundary breakthrough that has never had any effect from beginning to end. Baobuqi was used at a certain critical moment.
He compared the music played by the musicians many times and found no trace of originality in any of them. They were all quite ancient classics handed down from generation to generation, comparable to those of Orathion.
What the musicians are doing seems to be changing classical music into pop music.
A little strange.
Since he has Homiga as his idol, he shouldn't know a pop song, but he has never played pop music.
Not long after.
The musician came to Raven City.
[You have arrived in Raven City. The place is still so electric and brilliant. You look at the musical theater hall in the distance with a look of longing on your face. But you understand that you can no longer go to that place.
】
Musical venue?
Kashiwagi looked at the ellipsis that kept popping up on the musician's head. Unexpectedly, the latter seemed to have performed in a musical venue. It seemed that he had a pretty glorious past.
Same as Feiyun City.
The musicians also did not play on the streets of this city and went straight to Raven's Gym.
When meeting the gym leader Xiao Juer, a conversation took place.
[You greet Xiao Ju'er, and the other party asks you where you have been these days. You tell Xiao Ju'er that you have decided to regain your dream, forget the past and start from scratch, starting from becoming a powerful trainer and musician]
The two seem familiar.
And Xiao Juer cares a lot about the musician, as if he was once famous.
Kashiwagi had an inexplicable feeling like playing a detective game, and he didn't want to spoil the future results by searching.
Ripe will be ripe.
Xiao Juer did not give up in the battle with the musician. The musician successfully defeated the third gym with his current three Pokémon.
[You defeated Leiwen Gym Leader Xiao Juer and obtained the Volt Badge]
[Before leaving, you stayed not far from the musical venue for a long time, and then turned around and left as if you had made a complete break with your past self]
The musician strode onto the canvas suspension bridge and started his new singing career in the middle of the suspension bridge.
And the Pokémon he attracted this time was the Green Sheepbird.
Of course, it's not so much that the musician was passively attracted, but rather that he deliberately stayed on the sail bridge to wait for the Green Sheep Bird to take the bait. The latter's evolved form is one of the few Pokémon that can show off its singing voice.
It is the best candidate for Harmony Pokémon.
The narration fully explained the reason why the musician conquered the blue sheep bird.
