The First Gospel Chapter 23: The Villain's Self-cultivation
The retro wooden deck, the black and white flags fluttering in the wind, and the endless sea as far as the eye can see.
This sudden change made Gu Yun a little nervous, because a second ago, he and An Ling were in the bustling Wanhua City Square.
"Plasma Team's ship, I really miss it."
An Ling sighed . It had been several years since she last stood on this familiar deck. She had almost forgotten all the math formulas and English words she learned in high school, but the scene of playing NDS under the quilt was still vivid in her mind.
"When did you change your clothes?"
A uniform with an [R] logo, almost like a bra, a miniskirt with black knee-high socks, and an exposed belly button...
"How can a girl dress like this? It's outrageous!"
"Are you a pure little virgin? Why are you blushing? This is the new uniform of the Rainbow Rocket Team. It's obviously normal!"
"…How did you figure that out?"
Gu Yun's face changed.
It’s true!
But when An Ling thought about Gu Yun's character and his poor rental house, she understood.
However, this is not a place to be sad. As a fanatical fan of Ren Dilu for many years, she decided to use her own experience to make Gu Yun happy.
"Listen carefully, this generation continues the foreshadowing left in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, and recreates the classic version of the fifth generation. This is double the fun!"
The fifth generation is the last version on NDS. The subsequent XY, Origin Gem and Sun and Moon series used the 3DS platform, and later there was the Sword and Shield series on the Switch platform.
Although Pokémon has been constantly innovating in terms of gameplay and graphics, the fifth generation still occupies an important position in An Ling's mind. She has always believed that the black and white series is the pinnacle of the Pokémon plot.
In order to punish her in high school, her family often cut off her internet access. She played through the black and white series on NDS more than a dozen times and found all the hidden easter eggs.
Of all the series, what she is most looking forward to is the remake of the fifth generation.
At this press conference, GF provided players with a scene trial experience.
Although there is only one scene, it makes people want to burst into tears.
"You...wait a minute!"
An Ling rubbed her eyes, and suddenly, as if she had discovered a new world, she took a big step closer to Gu Yun. She stood on tiptoe, widened her eyes, and tried to get as close to the other person as possible.
After connecting to the equipment using the VR system, the volunteers automatically changed their clothes, and the person in front of her at this moment was naturally Gu Yun, who was wearing the male uniform of the Rainbow Rocket Team.
"Why are you blushing?"
Gu Yun felt a little nervous when An Ling stared at him. He looked up and down at his uniform.
It was still mainly black, with an [R] mark on the chest, but unlike the women's uniform, this one had long sleeves and long pants, revealing nothing.
"I didn't expect it... I didn't expect it! You are born to be a villain!"
There is some truth to the saying that clothes make the man.
Because of poverty, Gu Yun usually dressed very simply, with several patches visible on his clothes and pants. But the outfit he suddenly changed into now brought out his villain temperament to the fullest.
"But it's a waste of your talent to have you be a minion."
As we all know, the minions in the entire Pokémon series are only divided by gender, and other than that, they are all just extras produced on an assembly line. But Gu Yun's aura...
It's clearly Boss Sakaki wearing a small-time uniform!
"Wait a minute, I need to take a picture to commemorate the occasion. Come and check out the camera."
An Ling turned around and raised her head, finding a perfect angle. She held the phone in one hand and made a scissors hand gesture with the other hand, then tilted her head and smiled at the camera.
After taking the photo, I immediately opened Weibo on my phone.
《Taking a photo with the Rockets' top management》
Select a photo, add text, and send it with one click.
"Young man, you have a bright future. Come with me to comic conventions in the future!"
For veteran game geeks, only large-scale comic conventions and game conferences can make An Ling willingly come out of the house.
Instead, Gu Yun touched his face nervously.
"Do I really look like a villain?"
"Super similar! Appearance is secondary, the key is temperament. When you have a sullen face and don't speak, you are simply a villain boss!"
Gu Yun's face darkened.
This was the first time he learned the truth after coming here ten years ago.
After An Ling said this, all the seemingly unreasonable events in the past seemed to be explainable.
No wonder he was taken away by the police as a suspicious person when he was wandering around the gate of his sister's school in the middle of the night with a hammer used in rituals.
It turns out that it’s all because of appearance!
"No! We don't have time to talk about this now. You've posted this too!"
An Ling suddenly remembered something and took out a red and white Poké Ball from the Pokémon column. For a veteran Pokémon player, there was no need to explain what this was.
But Gu Yun is different.
This guy is the kind of person who would say, "Is that the game where you chop monsters with knives?" In other words, he has no idea what Pokémon battles are about.
"I have one."
Gu Yun took out an identical Poké Ball.
"This is the core of the Pokémon game, watch out!"
An Ling returned the standard action of throwing the Poké Ball, and then threw the Poké Ball onto the deck.
The innovation of this generation of Pokémon is unprecedented. The VR system will simulate different styles of throwing movements based on the player's movements and strength, but more importantly, it is the VR Pokémon!
In this generation, players can truly experience the joy of touching, interacting with and growing with Pokémon.
An Ling looked at the flickering white light with anticipation.
Will the Pokémon she is assigned be Pikachu or Eevee?
Girls really have no resistance to cute Pokémon.
Gu Yun also looked at the white light that violated common sense with curiosity. Through the dazzling light, he saw...
It seemed as if a gray plastic bag was happily flying towards An Ling's face. There was also turbid yellowish smoke coming out from the plastic bag, which looked dirty.
"Ah, it's the broken bag. That's right, we are just ordinary minions after all."
With her face covered with the enthusiastic torn bags, An Ling showed a look of despair. Fortunately, her GF did not design a stinking smell according to the Pokémon encyclopedia.
Now, she just looked like she was being hugged in the face by a dirty, broken and smelly Pokémon.
On the bright side, at least this is a Pokémon that you can see and touch!
…
I still feel like I can't be happy.
An Ling could only comfort herself that it was fortunately a Pokemon that popped out of the Poké Ball. If it was a Dust Mountain, her waist would not be able to withstand such torture.
"This is the Pokémon we got as villains. After the players enter the venue, a few players will be selected to fight with us, and at the same time, the battle system of this generation will be demonstrated. You can throw the Poké Ball like me and see what Pokémon is assigned..."
Having said that, Anling's expectations have plummeted.
Gu Yun exudes Sakaki's aura, but the roles he is assigned are probably just standard villain roles like Gas Bomb, Rattata, or Arbok.
"Just throw the ball and that's it? Interesting."
Gu Yun glanced at the Poké Ball in his hand.
This seemingly inconspicuous sphere is home to strange creatures that have never been seen before.
He couldn't help but feel some anticipation in his heart.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Then, gather all your strength into one point!
"drink--!"
Under An Ling's gaze, the Poké Ball in Gu Yun's hand turned into a meteor...
Disappeared at the end of the sea.
