Speaking of the elf world, or the Pokémon world, in addition to all kinds of elf, there is also an important prop that goes hand in hand.
That's the Poké Ball.
Chen Mo didn't know what other Pokémon fans thought about the Poké Ball in the world he originally lived in. However, when he was very young, he just watched the TV. The protagonist stood on the battlefield, holding the Poké Ball. Ball, turn the hat, and then throw the ball spinning.
"The decision is yours, so-and-so!"
Whenever he hears these words and sees the elf emerging from the elf ball, Chen Mo always feels like his blood is boiling.
but.
After traveling to this world where conflicts between humans and elves are constant, Chen Mo, who is well aware of the abnormal effects of the elf ball, understands how much impact it will have if the elf ball is brought into this world at will.
So for some time, Chen Mo has been worrying about the elf ball.
Until last night.
Things have taken a new turn.
Chen Mo, who was worried about the travel issues of Absol, Bibi Bird, and Magikarp, once again set his sights on the elf balls in the system mall.
to be honest.
Chen Mo was in an extremely tangled mood at that time.
After all, according to his original plan, he planned to wait until most people in the world, at least in the country where he currently lives, could accept the existence of elves before he started to promote Poké Balls.
If Chen Mo just took out the elf ball just because his elf had travel problems, that would be a bit of an asshole.
So after talking on the phone with Professor Zhou last night, Chen Mo looked at the drawings for the Poke Ball in the system mall and regretted it.
This really isn't the right time.
Just when Chen Mo was about to put away his bad thoughts, he caught a glimpse of a jade-washed version of the Poke Ball production blueprint in the system mall.
Xicui is the ancient name of the Sinnoh region.
Although Chen Mo had not yet traveled through time when the game "Pokémon Arceus" became popular, in fact, he had not played this game and had only watched some related game videos online in his previous life.
Therefore, Chen Mo was still a little curious about this green version of the Poké Ball, and subconsciously clicked on it.
The result was at this time.
Chen Mo discovered that there was a special instruction included in the Xicui version of the Poké Ball purchase page.
[Note: This production drawing is divided into complete version and incomplete version. 】
This was the first time Chen Mo saw such a prompt on the purchase page of a certain product. With a hint of curiosity, Chen Mo checked the difference between the complete version and the incomplete version.
Needless to say, the effects of the full version are natural. It has all the functions of a normal elf ball such as throwing, subduing, limiting the power of elf, etc.
But the incomplete version of the Poke Ball is different. It basically retains the normal function of storing Pokemon, and it cannot limit the power of the Pokemon itself. Therefore, the system introduction also specifically reminds people that this was considered a failure by people of that era. product.
Seeing this, Chen Mo was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, he showed an ecstatic expression, because he stopped buying the production drawings of the Poke Ball because of the Poke Ball's abnormal ability to forcibly control the elves, and the incomplete version of the Poke Ball in front of him had lost most of its abilities. , is what Chen Mo wants and is the version he needs most at the moment.
No.
This shouldn’t be called the incomplete version of the Poké Ball at all, it should definitely be called the travel version of the Poké Ball!
…
"Professor Zhou, I have something I want to give you."
Taking a deep breath, although he was still a little worried, Chen Mo felt that it was time to hand over this thing.
"Huh? What?"
After talking for a long time, Professor Zhou, who was a little thirsty, immediately put down his tea cup when he heard Chen Mo's words, with a curious look on his face.
Without any nonsense, Chen Mo simply took out a pre-bound production drawing from his satchel and handed it over.
"This is…"
"Pokeball production drawings."
"Elf... ball?"
Professor Zhou's expression was a bit puzzled. He looked at the green-washed Poké Ball with a lock on the cover. His hands were not idle and he quickly opened the production drawings.
What comes into view is naturally an overview of the functions of the Poke Ball.
"...can shrink elves and store them in elf balls..."
Professor Zhou became very interested after reading this.
Chen Mo kept his mouth shut obediently and waited quietly while occasionally hearing whispers like "This is unscientific" coming from Professor Zhou.
But it's true.
The production drawing purchased from the system only described how to make the elf ball, but did not describe much about its principles.
Chen Mo vaguely remembered.
In my previous life, when I was watching other netizens discuss Pokémon on various forums, I mentioned that one of the principles of making Pokémon balls was said to be related to a doctor's erroneous experiment.
Because of that erroneous experiment, the elf in the experiment directly entered a weak state. Then, perhaps out of the elf's survival instinct, the weak elf began to shrink in size, and then hid in the doctor's glasses case. This became Developing the origins of Poké Balls.
If you think about it carefully, this story is still very problematic. After all, it can only explain the birth of modern Poke Balls, and those Poke Balls that have existed since the Green Age are contradictory to this.
But no matter what, this story gave Chen Mo some other thoughts.
At the beginning, the Poke Ball most likely did not have the ability to capture Pokemon. Its starting point may be very simple, which is to allow the Pokemon that are difficult to follow all the time to follow the trainer by entering the Poke Ball.
The function of capturing elves may have been developed by later researchers.
This is why Chen Mo has to observe the official attitude and is still hesitant even before handing over the production drawings.
Because Chen Mo didn't know whether the researchers in this world, after getting the blueprints for making the Poke Ball, would directly create the kind of Poke Ball that could be used to capture Pokemon in the subsequent development.
…
soon.
Professor Zhou looked thoughtful after roughly reading the drawings for making the Poke Ball. He hesitated for a moment and finally looked at Chen Mo.
"Is this also what the God of Knowledge, Uxie, gave you?"
After saying this, before Chen Mo could reply, Professor Zhou quickly added another sentence.
"Old man, I don't mean anything else. I'm just asking casually. If you have difficulties, Xiao Mo, and you can't talk about it, that's okay."
"It's okay, there's nothing to say."
Chen Mo smiled.
"But Professor Zhou, you guessed wrong this time. The blueprint for making the Poké Ball has nothing to do with Uxie, the God of Knowledge. Its origin comes from the elves that the unknown totem led me to during the previous live broadcast in Hongjingpo Forest. Among the ancient ruins of the world.”
"remains?"
Professor Zhou instantly recalled the ancient mural ruins with the story of Zekrom and an unknown king at that moment.
"Professor Zhou, you must have noticed that during the live broadcast, I was in a very strange state for a while. In fact, during that time, my consciousness was pulled to another dimension by the unknown totems."
It's time to make up a story again, but it's not appropriate to keep using Uxie as a shield. This time Chen Mo will find a different partner.
Mr. Arthurs, the decision is yours.
"Another dimension?"
Professor Zhou's expression gradually became serious.
"Yes." Chen Mo nodded and said slowly: "There, I saw the second half of the mural, and... the legendary king who created a new era in ancient times."
Professor Zhou's child shrank suddenly.
"What!?"
"Professor Zhou, don't worry. When I saw the legendary king, he was already in a spiritual state. It was only because of the power of the unknown totem that he was able to communicate with me."
"That's it..."
After hearing this, Professor Zhou gradually felt relieved and signaled to Chen Mo that he could continue.
Seeing this, Chen Mo did not hesitate and recounted the manuscript he had prepared beforehand.
Regarding the second half of the story of the mural, Chen Mo did not make too many deletions and basically told Professor Zhou without changing the original story.
Zekrom's sleep, the fall of the Prime King, the betrayal of ideals, the destruction of the kingdom...
Looking at it in another way, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the history of this world. It can even be said to be everywhere. However, Professor Zhou, one of the actual leaders of the Countermeasures Bureau, heard this. At this time, it is inevitable that there will be some emotion in my heart.
But, right now.
Professor Zhou suddenly realized something.
Although Chen Mo chose to confess to himself what happened in the ruins, this made Professor Zhou very happy. After all, this undoubtedly proved that Chen Mo's trust in their officials had reached a new level.
but…
What about Poke Balls? What does this have to do with Poké Balls?
"...Mr. Arthur wants to entrust me to help him find Zekrom who may be sleeping somewhere in this world. In exchange, he will use his own ability called 'Waveguide Power' and Some special knowledge from their time was passed on to me, including the drawings for making Poké Balls."
Professor Zhou was stunned.
He finally heard the origin of the Poké Ball, but...
"The power of waveguide? What is that?"
"How to put it, you can simply understand it as a super power."
[Eye of Detection] and the Power of Waveguide, these two skills were originally gifted to him by the system. Among them, [Eye of Detection], Chen Mo, had already registered it with the official side by passing the blame to the God of Knowledge, Uxie. .
As for the power of waveguide, Chen Mo also felt that it was time to take the blame.
After all, it was okay when he was live broadcasting alone before, and the exposure was not that obvious. At least when Chen Mo watched the replay of his live broadcast, he didn't think there was anything too suspicious.
But during the journey to the Evergreen Forest, because Brother Yi and Ah Hui were added to the team, they spent a long time together, and there was no blind spot in the live broadcast as a cover, so the power of the waveguide was inevitably exposed.
Chen Mo didn't know if Ah Hui noticed it, but Brother Yi, a very capable official, most likely noticed it.
Therefore, instead of waiting for the official to take the initiative to ask, it is better to take this opportunity to throw the blame away.
Anyway, Professor Zhou and the others have never met Mr. Arthurs, and they don’t understand what the power of waveguide is. If Chen Mo wants to blame him, he can’t just say whatever he wants.
"...In short, waveguide is a kind of spiritual energy, which represents the spirit of every living thing. It has many functions, such as telepathy, investigating the environment, and using waveguide to create barriers or attacks. However, I don't have many abilities at the moment, and I am the most proficient. A waveguide application..."
Having said this, Chen Mo paused and then glanced at the closed door behind him.
"Professor Zhou, if nothing unexpected happens, within ten seconds at most, there will be a knock on the office door. The person knocking on the door is a young woman wearing black rims and a mole on the left corner of her eye. In her hand, she is holding a document called the 'Elf Illustrated Promotion Plan'."
The words just fell.
Sure enough, there was a knock on the office door.
Professor Zhou glanced at the smiling Chen Mo, and then said towards the door of the room.
"Please come in."
The door was pushed open, and a young woman with the same appearance as described by Chen Mo walked in while still talking quickly.
"Professor Zhou, here are some promotion plans for the Elf Illustrated Book we have discussed. Please..."
Suddenly, the young woman noticed that an old man and a young man in the office were looking at her with different and strange eyes, and their voices couldn't help but become smaller and smaller.
…
Half a minute later, the young woman left the office.
Professor Zhou looked at the 'Elf Illustrated Promotion Plan' document in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Super power...
Taking off his glasses, Professor Zhou rubbed his eyebrows.
The power of waveguide is different from the ability previously given to Chen Mo by Uxie, the God of Knowledge.
First of all, the power of the waveguide is transmitted through another human being.
Furthermore, the power of waveguide is not restricted knowledge, but a genuine super power.
After thinking for a moment, Professor Zhou put on his glasses and looked at Chen Mo seriously.
"There's one thing, Xiao Mo, I have to tell you in advance."
"What?"
"I hope you won't mention the power of waveguide to anyone else, even your relatives and friends. Also, try not to show off the power of waveguide during the live broadcast."
Chen Mo quickly understood what Professor Zhou meant.
Obviously, Professor Zhou is concerned about his own safety.
Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart, and Chen Mo nodded slowly.
"I see."
At this moment, Chen Mo, who had been paying attention to the changes in Professor Zhou's expression, also realized something was wrong.
It seems that Professor Zhou doesn't know that he has other special abilities.
So, this means that Brother Yi did not convey the flaws he leaked to Professor Zhou?
"Oh, by the way, Xiao Mo, there is one more thing I need to tell you."
"What?"
Chen Mo came back to his senses and asked doubtfully.
"As for the Poké Ball, although you got the production drawings from Arthurs, I plan to announce this matter in the name of the God of Knowledge, Uxie."
Professor Zhou said slowly.
"In addition, you are not allowed to mention anything about Arthurs and the special abilities of the unknown totem to anyone again. Is that clear?"
"good."
"Just leave the rest of the matter to the old man and me. Now, let's talk about the elf ball itself. For example, why can it shrink the elf and put it into a ball?"
