Kuye City is a city surrounded by the sea. Although it is still some distance away, it is technically the outskirts of Kuye City. However, it is getting late, so Xiaozhi and his group plan to go to the beach next to the cliff first.
Stay overnight in a solitary lighthouse.
"There's a Pokémon!"
Suddenly, a crab waving its large pincers crawled toward the three of them. It was about the size of two palms and walked sideways on the beach.
"Didi. Hairy crab, a crab Pokémon. The red shell means it is ripe and delicious."
"Trivia: Now is the season when crab roe is at its most juicy."
Automatically broadcast reports in the illustrated book.
"What? It's obviously a giant claw crab. It's a water-type Pokémon. No matter what, I want to conquer it!"
Xiaoxia tried to raise the elf ball, but Xiaozhi got stuck behind it.
"Wait a minute Xiaoxia, this crab is red and goes against your blue will, so give it to me!"
He said with reason.
Xiaoxia: "?"
I was speechless.
Afterwards, under Xiaozhi's operation, even Pikachu successfully subdued the giant claw crab before he could take action.
Not counting Shang Chi's retired Pikachu, he can be considered a trainer with more than 6 Pokémon.
"Let's go, let's have a good meal inside the lighthouse..."
With a look of joy on his face, Xiaozhi pushed the two of them towards the lighthouse.
...
...
The lighthouse door has a large, simple mural carved on it, with various Pokémon styles inlaid on it as a square grid. It looks a bit old at first glance.
"Pickup."
Pikachu pointed at one of the electric mouse designs, which was extremely plump and round, which secretly gave it confidence.
It's not too fat yet.
At most slightly fat.
At this time, the door opened, signaling the three of them to enter.
To their surprise, they originally thought that the lighthouse would be a simple and dilapidated small house, but they never thought that it would be a red carpet and silk, with simple and elegant decorative walls, as if it were a landowner's castle.
At the end of the avenue is a high staircase, on which a huge figure is standing.
On the front is a dark belly and a few small claws, while on the back is an oval gray-brown shell, like some kind of giant reptile.
"Fossil...helmet!?"
Xiaogang was so frightened that his eyes narrowed into slits.
As a gym trainer in Nibi City, he is very familiar with the fossils of fossil helmets.
"Turtle, is this a fossil helmet? It's so big!?"
Seeing this, Xiaozhi also became excited. He didn't expect that the fossil helmet's size could be a head taller than others.
After all, for a man, bigness is everything.
You should know that he also has a fossilized carapace in his bag. He might break out of his shell and be born one day.
"Can I be this big...?"
He is looking forward to it.
...
Suddenly, the giant fossil helmet shook and made a human sound.
"Well, I'm not a fossil helmet. Boy, come up and touch my chest muscles."
Xiaozhi boldly went up and pulled it, and as if some mechanism had been pulled, the fossil helmet made a pop of white smoke, and then the shell split into two halves from the middle, and a figure walked out of it.
"I'm sorry, it's hard to get out of this thing once it's in. I thought I had to stay in there for another night..."
This is a man who looks about 17 or 18 years old, with light yellow skin, fluffy and slightly curly hair, a cheerful personality, and a handsome face, but his hairline is already a bit dangerous.
"Haha, hello everyone, my name is Zhenghui, and I am a Pokémon researcher."
The three people quickly said hello and responded.
"Oh, you are from Zhenxin Town, so you should know Dr. Omu, I used to be half of his student..."
There was a hint of nostalgia on Zhenghui's face, as if he was nostalgic for the good memories of academic discussions with Dr. Omu in the past.
"That was also the season when crab roe was at its most plentiful. I remember when we set up a hotpot in Zhenxin Town..."
Xiaozhi and three others: "?"
"By the way, why is Mr. Zhenghui wearing a fossil helmet?"
Xiaozhi couldn't help but interrupt and asked.
Could this weirdo be able to smell the giant claw crab he just tamed through the Poké Ball?
Hearing this, Zhenghui's eyes became solemn, as if he had changed. He gently touched the fossil helmet suit on the back and said slowly:
"I'm experiencing Pokémon's inner thoughts."
"Pokémon are actually no different from us humans. Humans have all kinds of ideas, but what about Pokémon?"
"It's even possible that humans are just one type of Pokémon, and there is no difference between the two."
Three people: "?"
Seeing the three people looking confused, Zhenghui suddenly asked a question.
"What is the difference between humans and Pokémon?"
Xiaozhi looked at Pikachu and subconsciously replied:
"Humans must know how to consciously control their weight."
Pikachu: "?"
"Ahem, think about it, Pokémon can use various skills, but humans are not so fancy and have given up all kinds of skills, but in fact they still retain the only skill, which is "cooperating with Pokémon"
"Exerting skills" skills, if you think about it, are they somewhat similar?"
After hearing this, the three of them nodded.
"There does seem to be some truth in what he said."
For example, some Pokémon can only use one skill.
"So I am practicing here to understand the inner world of Pokémon, trying to understand their real world."
He suddenly opened his hands, as if he was praising science, which made the three of them sweat.
Can you feel the thoughts of Pokémon by wearing Pokémon clothes? That is indeed understandable...
Is this a Pokémon researcher? Is this good enough?
It's really great.
...
...
"Ask me a question..."
Suddenly, Chi's voice sounded in his mind, and his tone was a little urgent. This made Xiaozhi become interested and couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Chi, haven't you already ascended?"
red:"..."
...
Back to topic.
It turned out that he recalled that in the previous world, he also met a man named Zhenghui, and he was also eager to understand the thoughts of Pokémon.
However, that Zhenghui was obviously more fanatical than the one in front of him. He directly integrated himself with the Pokémon, completely pouring his thoughts and soul into a Pipi.
Later, it was only when he happened to pass by that the connection between him and Pippi was revealed.
But the most important thing is that he masters the black technology of moving human souls into Pokémon!
This is the most urgent thing for Chi right now.
"Brother Chi's business is my Xiaozhi's business!" Xiaozhi clapped his chest and agreed immediately.
"Then...thank you."
Although Chi was embarrassed, he still bowed his head slightly and turned red in thanks.
People still have to lower their heads when under the eaves.
"Hey, why don't you be polite to me?" Xiaozhi replied carelessly.
red:"..."
How about trying to seize the body...?
...
In reality, Xiaozhi operated on two lines, raised his head and asked:
"Excuse me, Mr. Zhenghui, I have a friend who wants to ask you a question."
The other three people looked around, wondering where this void friend came from.
"Do you know how to transfer human souls to Pokémon?"
Hearing this, Zhenghui's tiger body trembled, and his whole person became extremely serious. He looked at Xiaozhi seriously for the first time.
An ordinary country boy.
Strangely, transferring human souls to Pokémon to achieve the highest state of soul fusion was an idea he had when he was very young, and he had never even told anyone about it.
Not even his friend and mentor Dr. Oki mentioned it.
Why was this young man speaking it out as if it was a piercing of his mind?
"Could this friend you are talking about be you...?"
he asked tentatively.
Xiaozhi quickly waved his hand:
"It's not me, it's just that kind of... that kind of really rare friend, how should I put it..."
"Does it count as half-dead?"
Three people: "?"
red:"?"
