Chapter 2: Inventory: Ordinary Pokémon That Can Rival and Defeat Legendary Pokémon!
Chatroom?
Dama Lan Qi looked up at the screen.
An even more shocking scene appeared.
Chat panel and input panel… a chat software-like interface appeared in Dama Lan Qi's line of sight.
Could there be some kind of conspiracy?
Dama Lan Qi was very cautious and did not send any messages.
He opened another interface.
After seeing the familiar, unfamiliar, and only-heard-in-rumors names in the chatroom, Dama Lan Qi was speechless.
What did he see?
Dragonite, Koga, Lance, Karen, Steven, Wallace, Glacia, Flannery, Cynthia… these names are relatively normal.
After all, these people are either Champions or Gym Leaders.
It's not strange for their names to appear here.
But… Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Ho-oh, Lugia, Mew, Rayquaza, Groudon, Kyogre…
The names of these legendary and mythical Pokémon also appeared in this chatroom.
Is that a bit absurd?!
Those are Legendary Pokémon!
Pokémon that no one has had the chance to see for hundreds or thousands of years!
Pokémon that only exist in legends!
They are actually in this livestream room!
Is this really something that can be achieved by the power of a villainous organization?
Dama Lan Qi finally began to doubt its origin.
If the Pokémon behind these names are all real…
Dama Lan Qi gasped, he didn't dare to think about it.
At the same time, Dama Lan Qi's gaze towards the screen became increasingly serious.
After some thought.
Dama Lan Qi immediately contacted Professor Oak, who was one of the best Pokémon Professors.
Professor Oak's figure appeared on the video call.
Both Dama Lan Qi and Professor Oak had the same serious and solemn expressions.
"You've seen it too."
Professor Oak nodded: "I've investigated, and all the residents of Pallet Town can see this white screen."
Dama Lan Qi's expression was not surprised at all.
"I've also had people investigate, and for now, we can confirm that the same screen has appeared in all regions."
"This screen is what guarantees that everyone can see it."
"However, the chatroom… it seems not everyone is in it."
Professor Oak frowned at this.
Why is there this difference?
Or is there something wrong with the chatroom?
Out of caution, everyone refrained from posting in the chatroom.
Next.
Dama Lan Qi changed his tone.
"Actually, I initially suspected that this was a conspiracy by some villainous organization."
Professor Oak's expression froze.
Huh?
It sounds reasonable.
Dama Lan Qi also pointed to a few names and said.
"Although it's not certain, but these people…"
"Archie, suspected leader of the villainous organization Team Aqua in Hoenn Region."
"Maxie, suspected leader of the villainous organization Team Magma in Hoenn Region."
Dama Lan Qi tapped on these two names with his finger.
When Lance went to Hoenn to investigate related events, he reported the results to him, so he said this.
Professor Oak's frown deepened upon hearing this.
Good heavens!
So, the chatroom not only has Champions and Gym Leaders from the Pokémon League.
But it also has leaders and members of various villainous organizations in different regions, right?
It's a pity that we can't tell.
Otherwise, we should have just caught them all!
Professor Oak couldn't determine what commonalities those who could enter the chatroom had.
Then.
Dama Lan Qi's fingers slid towards the names he had already been shocked by once.
The legendary Pokémon…
"What exactly does this screen want to show us?"
Dama Lan Qi muttered.
His heart was filled with curiosity.
Professor Oak, like him, looked at the screen with the same curiosity.
What kind of conspiracy is behind this?
At this moment.
A message popped up in the chatroom.
【Ash: Wow! Can everyone see my message? This thing is so amazing!】
Professor Oak: …
Seeing this familiar prefix, Professor Oak clearly froze.
This idiot?
Why is Ash in this chatroom?
Does Ash have some special thing about him?
Professor Oak didn't know.
Professor Oak couldn't figure it out.
But people in the chatroom were already chatting with Ash.
【Lance: Haha! You can indeed see it! So what's the use of this thing?】
"My goodness! It's Mr. Lance!"
Misty's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the reply in the chatroom.
Ash asked in confusion.
"What's wrong with Mr. Lance? Is he famous?"
Brock, knowing Ash's ignorance very well, explained to him smoothly.
"Mr. Lance is the strongest of the Kanto Four Elites, incredibly powerful."
…
Because of Ash's message.
Those who were originally hesitant and watching from the sidelines started posting in the chatroom.
However, some people remained in a watching state.
Viridian City Gym.
Giovanni sat in a chair, half-closing his eyes, looking at the screen in front of him, lightly stroking Persian's smooth fur with one hand.
His head was spinning rapidly.
What did he hear after this screen appeared?
The content broadcast in this livestream room.
It might involve things about the past, the future, and parallel worlds?
Is… is this really possible?
After contemplating, Giovanni made a judgment.
It is.
It is possible.
Because… through Team Rocket's intelligence network, Giovanni learned that this screen appeared in all regions and cities that Team Rocket could investigate.
This is not something that can be achieved by human effort!
It's not something the Pokémon League can do either!
So… is this really some unspeakable high technology?
…
【Diantha: Hmm… interesting, so what are we going to do next?】
【Lance: Probably… watch?】
【Lance: …You guys are just spouting useless words, can you say something useful?】
【Wallace: As expected of you, Lance, you shut everyone up right from the start.】
【Dama Lan Qi: We should observe the situation, don't rush, we can't show our weakness first.】
Everyone was discussing back and forth, with a sense of probing and hesitation towards the chatroom and screen.
At this time.
The mechanical voice that had sounded before came from all directions again.
The white screen lit up simultaneously.
【This is about to be played –】
