Night has fallen in the blink of an eye, but the internet remains lively, especially with voices eagerly anticipating the arrival of Pokémon in the country growing louder and louder.
After all, the Magic City Tournament had a huge impact on those who were originally living in a modern, scientific society.
Especially after official confirmation!
What are Pokémon?
Pokémon are magical creatures that can use special abilities! And they are such tame and lovable magical creatures!
Who wouldn't want to command such magical creatures and have them battle under their orders?
Especially seeing Lily White and the others looking so happy after all their hard work, people are even more envious!
Although most people are hesitant to buy Pokémon from the Pokémon House, they don't necessarily have to purchase them from the store.
Didn't they see that both Old Wang and the Martial Artist encountered Pokémon in the wild~?
And if it weren't for the fact that Old Wang's second Pokémon was a bit weaker, the outcome between him and Chris Young would still be unknown.
As the store manager said, the encounter between people and Pokémon is the most beautiful thing!
Old Wang was able to meet Heracross, so why can't I?
Many people naturally have this thought in their hearts. A lot of people believe they are special and hope to meet another 'Heracross' through sheer luck!
Even if they aren't that lucky, they believe they can slowly train their Pokémon to become stronger!
Most importantly, Pokémon!
They want Pokémon!
"Manager Gus, should we make an announcement first? The preparations have already started anyway."
At eight o'clock in the evening, Ron Jackson called Gus Newman with a headache.
The enthusiasm from the public was overwhelming.
"Sure, but it will take several months."
Gus raised an eyebrow, but he had no objections. The pressure wasn't on him anyway.
The problem was that preparations for the nationwide rollout had only just begun, and it would take at least three to four months to fully implement it.
"At least there's hope. Right now, they're so excited without even having received any official news."
Ron sighed in relief and responded with a smile.
"In that case, I'll make an announcement later."
Gus touched his chin and nodded. Since preparations had already begun, many people could probably guess what was coming.
After all, before Pokémon arrived in Magic City, trees were planted to establish a Pokémon Center in advance.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Manager Gus. We'll fully cooperate with you." Ron's voice was noticeably lighter, clearly in a good mood.
"No problem, this is something I want as well."
Gus smiled. No one wanted to see the arrival of Pokémon more than he did.
"If Pokémon truly appear all over the country, Mr. Gus, you will have ushered in a new era for us."
Ron said with emotion. This was originally an atheistic, scientific world, but the existence of magical creatures like Pokémon would completely change that perception.
If Pokémon spread throughout the entire country, it would undoubtedly mark the beginning of a new era!
The Pokémon Era!
There was no doubt this was a brand-new age! The old era would be completely left behind!
"I'm looking forward to the beauty of this era." Gus smirked slightly as he gazed out the window.
"By the way, Mr. Ron, once the Magic City Tournament ends, many people will try to spy on us. Be sure to strengthen security measures."
Gus thought for a moment and reminded Ron.
Right now, the Pokémon craze in the country had almost reached a point where everyone knew about it, so other nations were bound to take notice.
Previously, Sakura Island secretly sent people to smuggle some Pokémon back, though Totem Wishiwashi stopped them. However, they wouldn't give up so easily.
Moreover, Sakura Island was still arguing with Magic City to have their arrested operatives returned, but the country was taking a hard stance, making the internet particularly lively these past few days.
That's also why the hype surrounding the Magic City Tournament finals skyrocketed today, leading to fewer discussions on the issue.
"Hahaha~ Don't worry, Manager Gus. We'll handle this matter! I will never allow Pokémon poachers to exist!"
Ron, sitting at home, gently stroked his Ivysaur's head, his tone becoming more resolute.
Not to mention the development and transformation Pokémon could bring to the country—Pokémon were intelligent, friendly creatures, and he would never allow poachers to harm them!
Absolutely not!
"That's for the best."
Gus replied with a smile and hung up the phone.
"System, claim my reward."
Taking a sip of his drink, Gus hugged Jirachi and Manaphy, speaking to the system in his mind.
It was time for his own draw!
"Initiate the unlimited prize pool draw."
Gus glanced at the option for selling Pokémon in the branch quest. He was only a few Pokémon short of reaching 200 in the next stage.
"Claim successful. Begin the lottery?"
"Yes."
As Gus spoke, a translucent roulette wheel appeared before him.
"This shouldn't be too bad. I've always been lucky."
Gus touched his chin. He always considered himself quite fortunate!
After all, in three unlimited draws, he had gotten three Pokémon: Diancie, Manaphy, and Jirachi.
This unlimited prize pool was practically becoming a Pokémon prize pool, which proved his luck was even greater than Lin Yuna's.
Time ticked by, and soon, the wheel stopped.
"Congratulations, host! You have drawn Ditto."
"Ditto?"
Gus was momentarily stunned, then his expression became somewhat strange.
Ah, this...
Could the system have known he was looking for a Ditto recently? His luck seemed ridiculously good.
It wasn't a legendary Pokémon, but this Ditto...
"System, claim the reward."
"Claim successful."
Looking at the Poké Ball that appeared in his hand, Gus hesitated for a moment before opening it.
A white light flashed, and a lilac-colored Pokémon, resembling living ooze, appeared in front of him.
Its body was gelatinous, with small black eyes and a tiny mouth.
This was Ditto.
Ditto slightly raised its body and curiously looked around.
"Ditto, we'll be partners from now on. Let's get along well," Gus said with a smile.
"Momo~!"
Ditto looked at Gus curiously, then after staring for a while, it nodded slightly. A part of its body stretched up like an arm and waved, making a cute little noise.
"What a cute little guy."
Gus reached out and shook Ditto's hand, laughing.
[...]
"System, start the legendary prize pool draw!"
After getting up, Gus spoke to the system in his mind. This was the main event!
Another system roulette wheel appeared before him, showing flickering silhouettes.
Gus, very familiar with Pokémon, could guess them just from their shadows.
Mewtwo, Ho-Oh, Lugia, Rayquaza, Hoopa…
"Please don't let it be one of the legendary birds—give me something stronger!"
His eyes locked onto the spinning wheel, silently praying. He loved cute Pokémon, but he also wanted something more fierce!
[...]
"Congratulations, host! You have drawn Zygarde."
Hearing the system's announcement, Gus's head shot up, staring at the illusory image of Zygarde in front of him.
F**k! GUNDAM!!!
