"I was well protected by my mother, so I had no combat experience. Humans quickly conquered me. I was sold into the hands of others because when I came out again, my master was no longer the one who captured me."
"The Poke Ball is really a very closed environment. There is nothing in it, so I don't want to stay any longer."
"But what breaks me apart is that I can only go out when I hear "Vulpix, it's decided that it's you."
"But going out is not to get some air or move around, but to fight other Pokémon."
"I don't know why humans gather around us to watch our battles and cheer for this kind of thing. The bloodier we fight, the louder they shout."
"In the first battle, I couldn't complete the master's instructions very well. After several painful beatings, I lost the game without any surprise."
"I thought I was going to die, but when I opened my eyes again, it was a female doctor with pink hair who said to me gently: "Okay, everything is cured."
"I used to wonder why humans rescued me, and I was even grateful. At that time, I even thought I was saved, but later, I realized how ridiculous this was."
"Humans let us fight until we were near death, and before one of us died, they healed us, and then the cycle continued, dying, healing, dying, healing."
"I tried to resist and refused to obey my master's orders."
"But when I was trapped in a small Poké Ball for a month without anyone communicating with me, unable to do anything, and unable to see anything, I felt scared."
"I don't have the courage to die, so I surrendered. Compared with this kind of life, I would rather pay the price of dying again and again in exchange for every insignificant time to breathe fresh air."
"If I please my master, he will even allow me to move freely outside for a while. I am even grateful for this, forgetting that this is the freedom that should belong to me."
"I gradually got used to this kind of life, until one day, when I left the Poke Ball, I found that the opponent I was fighting was my mother."
"I'm happy and sad at the same time, and so is my mother."
"Mom was unwilling to fight with me. She disobeyed her master's orders and ran out of the fighting venue."
"My master was very happy. The bet on that game seemed to be a lot of money, but mom's master was very angry."
"The next day during my free time, I searched for my mother's scent in the city. After searching for a long time, I found it."
"She was in a garbage bag in the trash can. She died. There were scars all over her body. Her death was very painful. No doctor came to save her."
"I collapsed. After I confirmed this fact, I wanted to find my mother's owner, but he had left the city and I could never find him again."
"I finally have the courage to die. I never want to forcefully fight an unfamiliar Pokémon again."
"When my master realized that no matter how much I was detained, it was useless. When I went to the hospital and found out that it was a heart disease that was very troublesome to treat and might cost a lot of money, he gave up on me."
"I finally have the freedom I've always wanted."
"Of course, there is a price. The master cut off all my tails."
"Then I met you while I was waiting to die."
"——So there are good people among humans?"
The Vulpix on the screen stopped talking, and the camera gradually zoomed out, revealing his petite body - because there was no tail, blood was still flowing out of its newly bandaged body, staining the gauze underneath red.
"This Vulpix died on the second day after we saw it. The wound infection was too serious and there was no way to save it." Xiaozhi, who was opposite, added at this time: "Although the Vulpix's fur is not valuable, the mosquitoes can't save it." The small ones are also meat, and the tails can be used as decorations.”
Seeing that Lin Li didn't speak immediately, Xiaozhi chuckled silently, but he was not laughing at Lin Li:
"Mr. Yu Nian, don't feel sorry for it, because you can't bear it. This is a bright future for trainers who abuse Pokémon. After all, at least this Vulpix left the hands of its owner alive, and he The owner treats it fairly...normally."
Xiaozhi said with some difficulty.
"Isn't Pokémon treatment free? Why is treatment so expensive?" Lin Li noticed one of the details and asked.
"The Pokémon Center in every town does provide free treatment... it can be regarded as a welfare policy, but those who have this welfare must be a family that pays legal taxes every year and be a legal citizen.
If you are a black householder or someone who does not pay enough taxes every year, you will not enjoy this benefit.
Secondly, there are naturally restrictions on the enjoyment of this benefit. For example, there is a limit on the number of treatments. The project is limited to normal and simple treatments, and the time will be very long. Moreover, when there are many people, you need to queue up. If you want to jump in line in a hurry, then Just...add money and go through the paid channel.
There are actually some gray areas in this.
So Lin Li, do you still remember the class issue I mentioned earlier? I was the beneficiary, so when I left my hometown to travel around the world, I didn't pay attention to it at all. Therefore, I thought that everyone was like this. However, under the care of Dr. Oki, the world was full of "goodwill" towards me. .
This question is the same as what I would ask at the time. In front of many people who do not have this benefit, it can be regarded as "why not eat minced meat". "Xiao Zhi explained.
Lin Li rubbed his eyebrows. Hearing the words welfare and tax in the Pokémon world always felt inconsistent.
At this time, Xiaozhi clicked the "return" button on the screen and returned to the video list. Lin Li saw densely packed videos and swiped up and down at will, but could not see the end.
"The situation with this Vulpix is not good, but compared with other Pokémon, he can still be considered "good". "Xiao Zhi clicked on the videos inside and introduced Lin Li one by one:
"The owner of this little fire dragon likes to force it into the water, euphemistically calling it reverse attribute training, so much so that it now trembles when it sees water, and even needs to blindfold itself to drink water."
"This Fatty had to be punched and kicked by his owner every day, but he was willing to do so because if he didn't get beaten, his younger brother Fatty, who was also subdued by his owner, would bear it for him."
"This double-bomb gas bomb was forcibly broken into two pieces simply because its owner was curious whether it could be turned into two gas bombs."
…
These incidents of mistreating Pokémon are getting more and more heinous.
Lin Li frowned when he heard these things that could only be done by a psychopath: "Isn't there necessary training before becoming a trainer? Abuse of Pokémon is not allowed by the regulations, right?"
"Of course." Xiaozhi nodded, but there was a bit of sarcasm between his brows, "The law and training are very clear that trainers are not allowed to abuse the Pokémon they have tamed. Kindness shouts loudly, but the problem is , and no one is supervising this aspect!
Because there is no way to regulate it.
It's impossible to record everyone's Pokémon in a book, and then send someone to check the mental and physical health of all Pokémon every once in a while, right? This is too troublesome and cannot be done manually. "
"Many of the Pokémon captured in batches like Vulpix are circulated and traded underground. As mentioned in the original video, the process of capturing these Pokémon is very... cruel. I don’t care if the Pokémon wants it or not.”
“And, what is the definition of ‘abuse’? Have you ever considered one thing in Yu Nian? When we successfully subdue a Pokémon, the "abuse" has actually begun, because their freedom has been taken away.
And once we have more than six Pokémon, there will definitely be extra Pokémon that we can’t carry with us. Once we don’t have their own territory, these extra Pokémon can only stay in the Poké Ball for a long time. Isn’t this right? Is this considered "abuse"? "
Lin Li touched his chin and silently thought about Xiaozhi's question.
This did become a problem after the system modified the inside of the Poké Ball into a dark, enclosed space.
"Putting aside the abuse part, there is also the mass slaughter of Pokémon by humans." Ash let out a long sigh, and the video on the tablet also switched.
On the screen, people armed like an army, holding weapons, driving tanks and forklifts, were devouring a forest.
Dozens of green onion ducks in the forest, which had lost their habitat, ran out of the forest in a panic. They wanted to protect their home, but when a tank shelled in front of them, they realized that it was not them. can contend.
When gunshots resounded through the forest and a large number of anesthesia needles were shot at each other, the sounds of the green onion ducks gradually disappeared.
Green Onion Duck is a Pokémon that comes with its own seasoning, and its meat is delicious. According to the introduction in the illustrated book, it was captured and became a rare Pokémon because it was too delicious.
The second video is much more gory.
It was a Slowpoke breeding farm, with a large number of captive Slowpoke trapped in one place, and what was being done in the video was to chop off all the Slowpoke tails - because the tails were also extremely delicious ingredients.
…
There are many such videos, covering many types of Pokémon.
Not only in the direction of food, but also to enslave a large number of lightning-type Pokémon to generate electricity. When Xiaozhi led the people to rescue these "slaves", these drained Pokémon were even unable to escape.
There are so many things worth taking from Pokémon, and they are basically full of treasures.
One of the videos shows humans capturing Gardevoir - and the purpose is to use him as his wife!
Lin Li was so angry when he saw this video!
——Where is the humanity? ! Where is the morality? ! Where is my wife’s link? !
As for Pokémon becoming food, Lin Li was not surprised at all.
After all, in the later Pokémon animations, there were no animals in the world that were not Pokémon. In that case, it was normal for them to become food.
However, it is inevitable to feel a bit ironic. We have always claimed that Pokémon are partners of trainers, but where in the world are there partners that can be used as food?
Although it was not unexpected, Lin Li still felt uncomfortable - because Pokémon are human, they have their own language and can understand human words, and when such creatures are hunted and become food, they will inevitably feel resistant.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. In the past year, I have actually found that I am also a very double-standard person. I can accept green onions, ducks, and Slowpoke as food, and I have even pursued such delicacies, but when I know that some people think that Pikachu When the meat was delicious, I felt strangely angry.
When the anger dissipated, I realized how ridiculous I was. In fact, the Pokémon I cared about were just species with whom I had established a deep friendship. "Xiao Zhi's words were full of self-deprecation.
"Speaking of...Xiaozhi, where is your Pikachu?" After hesitating for a while, Lin Li asked this question that he was somewhat concerned about.
"..." Xiaozhi fell into silence and did not answer.
"Sorry." The answer was already hidden, Lin Li said apologetically.
"In short-" Xiaozhi shook his head and took a deep breath, "I finally decided not to participate in Pokémon battles anymore, but to start trying. Can I change this situation and make the world... brighter? "
"So you want to kill all human beings? You won't let yourself go?" Lin Li blinked, then you are too bright.
Satan has a photo of you tattooed on his back.
Xiaozhi waved his hand and denied the matter: "I'm afraid the Rocket Organization said that deliberately to demonize me. I never thought of doing this at the beginning.
At that time, I just wanted to do my best to protect the rights and interests of Pokémon, so that psychopathic trainers would get the punishment they deserve, and that the hunting and abuse of Pokémon would As little as possible, that’s all. "
"How did that extend into a war between Pokémon and humans? Didn't a lot of people die? What happened to you "broken cage"? Lin Li asked curiously.
Hearing this question, Xiaozhi sighed, with a little fierce light in his eyes: "When I preached my ideas, because I was the champion of multiple competitions for several consecutive years, many people immediately followed me.
Some of them really agree with my philosophy and want to do the same thing as me.
But there are still some people who join this thing just because they find it interesting. They like riots and disputes, think it's cool, and like to join in the fun. Many of them actually don't care about the feelings of Pokémon at all.
They just used my name and the name of righteousness to plunder human shops, kill people and set fires.
I have never done anything like bewitching a Pokémon to kill its owner. "
When Lin Li heard this, he shook his head gently. He believed that what Xiaozhi said was true.
This is one of the bad qualities of human beings.
Just like the riots in country F on Earth, the so-called trigger was that an African-American young man was shot dead at close range by the police in a small town outside Paris. People felt unfair for him, but when the incident evolved to the point where people collectively gathered in the streets When people were burning, smashing, looting, and buying happiness for 0 yuan, did the people who did these things actually care about this young man in their hearts?
I'm afraid I don't care at all.
"In addition, there are some people who agree with my philosophy, but are much more extreme than me, and their hatred is deeper than mine -"
After a moment of pause, Xiaozhi finally sighed:
"So in the process of things evolving to what they are now, I seemed to be coerced, and my ideas gradually began to flow to them. I have to admit that when they asked me if I wanted to destroy the factory that enslaves Pokémon to humans, At that time, I refused without hesitation.
When I found that I had strayed away from the final simple idea, I found that it was not easy to go back.
Those superiors have regarded us as a thorn in their side. "
"When humans or Pokémon die due to the conflicts we initiated, I actually question myself. Am I doing the right thing? Am I doing the wrong thing?"
"I heard Bai Xiu said that you wanted to join us, but the residents' first reaction was to call the police. Those ordinary people should hate me. It was me who made this situation into the mess it is now."
Lin Li could see that the Xiaozhi in front of him was not firm and full of regret, which was different from what he expected.
"So do you regret it?" Lin Li asked.
"Maybe." Xiaozhi nodded.
"However, when I was in Changqing City, it seemed that there were no riots in the city. What is the situation between you and the authorities now?"
"At the beginning, we actually had a slight upper hand, because Rocket Organization was right about one thing. When Pokémon knew that we were protecting their rights, they were really unwilling to fight us, and even willing to help us.
After the Rocket Organization's Pokémon transformation technology matured, the situation took a turn for the worse. With systematic weapons and Pokémon that completely obeyed orders, it was our turn to retreat and recuperate. "
"So..." Lin Li hesitated, his eyebrows filled with questions.
"I won't give up." Xiaozhi shook his head, his eyes becoming firmer.
"No matter what the outcome of this so-called "uprising" is, I have one thing I must do - destroy the Rocket Organization and completely destroy the "Pokémon Transformation Device" that has been abused because of this incident.
This kind of complete control of Pokémon's emotions is completely unacceptable to me, just like you.
And this happened because of me. I must not let the world become worse because of me. "
"What should we do? Do you have a plan? I joined you just for this matter." Lin Li immediately asked seriously.
Obviously this is the direction to complete the main quest (2/3).
Xiaozhi looked at Lin Li for a long time, as if to confirm whether Lin Li was trustworthy, and then nodded:
"Attack Evergreen City and take the opportunity to rescue Mew."
The magic reform is just for fun. These are just the darkness that may be extended, and it is inevitable that they will become food.
The original work is actually very realistic, and it is not even a high-welfare society, but because it is relatively dark, it has not been promoted.
