As time went by, the actors of the crew gradually got into the groove.
Compared to when he was filming the TV series, Zhang Song Wen seemed to be in better shape, and he had a deeper understanding of the character Sakaki.
Even when he was just casually acting with Yan Yi Kuan, who played Yu Long Du, you could clearly see Yan Yi Kuan being subdued.
Su Yi Huan nodded in satisfaction.
Gao Qi Qiang appeared early, so to speak.
But if she had to choose someone to be the boss.
Su Yi Huan thought Sakaki was still the right choice, at least Sakaki, while he might have done some nasty things outside.
But he never played dirty with his own people.
…
The first day of school is here.
But the updates still need to be followed.
The benefits of weekly updates are also evident.
Students can watch the new episodes as soon as they get out of school on weekends, without having to buy pirated discs.
Yes, in this era, pirated discs still exist.
Those ten-yuan two-disc sets that contain a whole series of TV shows.
Guess the later 05s and 10s wouldn't even know what those are.
Back then, computers could still play discs, oh, the tears of the times.
At 6 PM, the update for the children's channel arrived.
The trio returned to their usual adventure routine.
In this episode, the three pass through a canyon.
They discover a large number of trainers dressed in construction worker-like clothing, wearing hard hats, and wielding shovels to continuously dig the ground.
Satoshi: “What are they doing?”
“You don't even know that, Satoshi?”
Shigeru suddenly appeared from behind, also carrying a shovel on his shoulder.
Although his expression was still full of mockery, he still explained the reason to Satoshi.
It turns out that recently, the League has invented a technology that can extract fossil genes and revive fossilized Pokémon.
If trainers can find fossils, the League will provide free assistance to help revive the fossilized Pokémon.
This has attracted many trainers who crave powerful Pokémon to mine for fossils.
Satoshi, who had just been brutally defeated by Risa, immediately lit up at the sound of this.
He eagerly joins the mining team.
…
【Okima Kikuko】huh—
【This is another new addition to the lineup?】
【Currently, Satoshi's team has one vacancy, it's reasonable to supplement his team at this opportunity】
【I don't think there's any rush, let's train the existing team first】
【I agree, compared to catching new Pokémon, Satoshi's priority is to strengthen his abilities as a trainer, don't you remember what happened to Charmeleon?】
…
Coincidentally, Shigeru's explanation was also heard by the Rocket trio lurking in the shadows.
But they weren't interested in slowly digging with shovels, instead, they planned to blow up the entire canyon with explosives.
Satoshi, upon discovering this, immediately called out Squirtle to try to extinguish the explosives.
But it was too late.
Although he extinguished some of the explosives, the rest still detonated.
Satoshi fell into the crater created by the explosion.
He accidentally discovered that many fossilized Pokémon lived there.
Omanyte, Omastar, Kabuto…
Satoshi suddenly realized.
No wonder the news said this canyon had yielded many fossils.
This place was originally the territory of fossilized Pokémon!
The Omanyte and the rest were fine, they just looked at Satoshi with curious eyes.
But a Aerodactyl was different.
It roared, with an attitude of “How dare you intrude on my territory,” and flew out.
Its strong claws grabbed Satoshi's shoulders, lifting him up through the hole created by the explosion in the mountain wall.
“Waaaaahhhh——”
Hearing Satoshi's screams, all the trainers in the canyon looked up.
Kasumi, Takeshi, and the other companions turned pale.
Shigeru shouted the name of the Pokémon, “That's, Grandpa mentioned this fossilized Pokémon, Aerodactyl!”
Kasumi, Takeshi, and several other trainers around them all tried to save him.
But Aerodactyl was fast, and Satoshi was firmly caught by it.
The risk of intervening was too great.
“Damn it, if that's the case…”
Satoshi, facing the strong wind, gritted his teeth and threw out a Poké Ball.
It was Charmeleon!
“Please! Charmeleon!”
Although Charmeleon had been a bit rebellious in the previous gym challenge, seeing his trainer in danger.
He still raised his claws, ready to use the “Slash” attack on Aerodactyl.
However, Aerodactyl slightly flapped its wings, easily dodging Charmeleon's claws.
In the next instant, it slammed its head down.
It smashed Charmeleon from the sky to the ground.
Charmeleon, kneeling on one knee, once again became bloodshot.
Lost, lost?
I lost again?
“Kakakaka～”
Aerodactyl continued to attack, constantly sticking out its tongue and making faces at Charmeleon.
As if to say, “Is that all? You're such a loser”
From Charmander to Charmeleon, to now.
Charmeleon has experienced three consecutive defeats!
And Aerodactyl's provocation was the final straw that broke Charmeleon's self-esteem.
“Roar——”
Charmeleon roared to the sky.
Blue light emanated from its body.
Kasumi: “That's!?”
Takeshi: “Ev, evolution!?”
Shigeru: “How is that possible, I remember it just…”
Shigeru, who had fought alongside Satoshi in the Pokémon Tower, knew very well that Charmeleon had just completed an evolution not long ago.
Now, it is actually—
And outside the screen, the audience was stunned.
The first season has been playing for so long, the basic settings have been laid out.
Evolution, attributes, worldview, etc. …
Of course, this also includes the very important evolution.
So fans also know how outrageous Satoshi's Charmeleon's evolution speed is.
Damn, didn't you just complete your first evolution half a month ago?
How come you're evolving again!?
