Pokémon Modifier

This night at the Kongmu Research Institute, Populus euphratica did not sleep very peacefully.

Iron Dumbbell is infected with the Pokémon virus that can make Pokémon stronger. This special state is beneficial and harmless to Pokémon. It is best if everyone is infected.

Therefore, in order to spread the Pokémon virus on Iron Dumbbell to the entire team, Hu Yang spent one night bonding it with several full-body Pokémon, Charizard Gengar, in an effort to make it available to everyone.

But the Pokémon virus in reality seems to be different from the one in the game, and its infection speed is very mysterious.

After trying for most of the day, Hu Yang never saw a Pokémon infected with the virus.

In desperation, he could only lie down and rest, waiting until tomorrow to try again, but he was woken up by Gengar in the middle of the night.

"What's wrong?" Hu Yang sat up from the bed in a daze, looking at Geng Gui whose face was full of discomfort and asked.

Gengar's breathing sounded a little rapid: "Hu Yang, my body feels a little weird. Am I going to die?"

Hearing the word death, Hu Yang's heart tightened. He immediately woke up and used his golden finger to check Gengar's situation.

Then I saw the words [Poké Virus] on the physical status column.

Populus euphratica: "..."

"What are you talking about at night?" He breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief, pinched Geng Gui's cheek, and explained: "That is something that can bring great benefits to your body. Feel it carefully, is it still uncomfortable? ?”

After hearing this, Gengar calmed down, blinked his eyes, felt the condition of his body, and said: "It feels... as if I have endless strength."

"That's right." Hu Yang said. He turned around and checked whether other Pokémon were infected with the Pokémon virus.

But unfortunately, except for Gengar and Iron Dumbbell, the other Pokémon are very healthy.

Because of the commotion that had just occurred, several Pokémon such as Charizard and Dual Axe, who were sleeping on the floor of the room, woke up.

Seeing them waking up, Populus euphratica simply took this opportunity to tell them about the Poké Virus:

"...If you suddenly feel a strange feeling in your body, don't worry, it is something that can make you stronger."

"Dan...bo!" The iron dumbbell floated into Populus euphratica's arms and happily echoed: "Dan...bo! dan...bo!"

"Continue to sleep." Populus euphratica said to them.

Several Pokémon closed their eyes again and lay on the floor to continue sleeping.

Hu Yang turned off the light and lay down on the bed in a relaxed state.

Just when he was about to fall asleep, Geng Gui's deliberately lowered voice came to mind again: "Hu Yang, are you asleep?"

Populus euphratica: "..."

"SnortzzZ!"

Populus euphratica deliberately pretended to sleep, and snored deliberately to make it appear more real.

However, Geng Gui immediately exposed his disguise and accused in the dark: "Liar! I will never talk to you again!"

Hu Yang was delighted. If he remembered correctly, Gengar had said the same thing when he met him.

Hu Yang opened his eyes, looked at the roof, took a deep breath, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Time flies, and two years have passed without realizing it.

"Can't sleep?" Hu Yang asked softly.

Although Geng Gui knew that Hu Yang did it on purpose, he did not continue to cause trouble and nodded obediently: "Yes."

Hu Yang was no longer sleepy at this time. He glanced out the window and suggested, "Go for a walk outside?"

Gengar readily agreed.

So one person and one Pokémon quietly ran out of the window.

Geng Gui struggled to carry Populus euphratica on his back, looking troubled: "You have become so heavy!"

Populus euphratica: "..."

This can't be blamed on him, because he is still a growing child.

Alliance calendar year 211, Hu Yang is 13 years old.

Boys of this age eat a lot, and their height and weight are also growing rapidly.

Although he has not measured himself, Hu Yang feels that his current height should be about 1.6 meters.

One person and one Pokémon landed on a hillside near Kongmu Research Institute.

Hu Yang looked at Gengar, noticed something was wrong with it, and asked, "What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Geng Gui sat on the ground and shook his head, his face a little confused: "No... Populus euphratica, I just seemed to have remembered something..."

Hu Yang was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Geng Gui: "I don't know what happened before I arrived on that island."

"Did it happen when you were in the spirit world?"

"I can't remember clearly..." Gengar shook his head and thought dejectedly for a while, but couldn't remember anything, not even the vague memory that just appeared like a sudden flash of inspiration. .

Thousands of years have passed since then, and the first memories have gradually become blurred in the wash of time.

Seeing this scene, Hu Yang couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

At that time, according to Gengar, it was still a little ghost. Because it sensed the breath of the ghost slate, it followed a group of ghost Pokémon to the island.

Gengar has previously stated in casual chat that it lived in a place with a large number of ghost Pokémon before going there.

Based on this description, that place most likely refers to the spirit world.

If it's not something in the spiritual world, could it be something in "past lives"?

When Hu Yang came to this world, he had always been curious about how ghost-type Pokémon participated in the cycle of life and death.

According to normal circumstances, if nothing unexpected happens, their lifespan is generally close to infinite.

After thinking for a moment, Hu Yang comforted him: "It's okay. If you can't remember it, don't think about it. It's all passed. Seizing the present is the most important thing, isn't it?"

Geng Gui looked at his trainer blankly, and then nodded heavily: "Yes!"

Having said that, Hu Yang still mentioned to Dr. Kongmu during breakfast the next morning:

"Doctor, do you know how ghost-type Pokémon participate in the cycle of life and death?"

Hearing this question, Dr. Kongmu felt a little surprised, but he still answered seriously:

"The existence of many Pokémon in the ghost type is still a mystery. The current research community has not collected any cases of ghost Pokémon that died normally."

"But according to rumors in some places, when ghost-type Pokémon pass away, their souls will return to their closest humans and continue to accompany them in places where people can't see them."

"And if it is a wild ghost Pokémon, it is said that after they pass away, their souls will return to the spirit world for reincarnation, and come to this world with a new appearance."

"I understand." Hu Yang nodded thoughtfully, "Thank you, doctor."

Dr. Kongmu said with a smile: "So, Pokémon is a very magical creature!"

After breakfast, Dr. Omu also sent a message.

Hu Yang saw Dr. Omu's face again on the video phone.

Dr. Ohki seemed to have not slept all night, and he looked a little tired.

"I have analyzed the data about this egg and obtained the results."

Dr. Omu looked at the report in his hand and said with a smile:

"Your guess is correct. There is a very "powerful" Pokémon living in this egg. It is precisely because of its power that the egg did not hatch for such a long time. "

"However, although it has not hatched yet, according to my observations, the Pokémon in the egg is likely to have self-awareness and be able to sense external conditions."

"When I conducted energy detection on it last night, I detected a special mental wave released from the egg. It was probably the little guy in the egg secretly observing the situation outside."

"Is that so?" Dr. Kongmu looked thoughtful, because he had never encountered such a situation before, so he didn't think of it for a while.

But now after Dr. Omu pointed it out, he realized this, his eyes showed excitement, and he immediately transformed into Dr. Omu and said: "As expected of Dr. Omu!"

Dr. Oak: "Haha."

"So doctor, is there any way to make this egg hatch?" Hu Yang asked.

Dr. Oak shook his head slightly and replied: "This depends on the Pokémon egg's own wishes. Maybe you are still unfamiliar to it, or maybe it is afraid of something outside, so it I’ve been reluctant to come out.”

"My suggestion is that you can communicate with it more. Maybe when it is willing to accept you as its trainer, the egg will hatch automatically."

Populus euphratica: "..."

After hearing what Dr. Omu said, Hu Yang had a brief brainstorming session.

First of all, they have been living with the egg for several months. Logically speaking, if the egg is self-aware, it should be very familiar with them.

And sure enough, Weng, a qualified nanny, is hatching eggs with all his heart every day.

Therefore, this may pass temporarily.

As for the second possibility mentioned by Dr. Ohki, fear.

Hu Yang thought of the time when the Ancient Moon Bird took the egg back and accidentally dropped it on the ground and rolled it several times.

So, could the Pokémon in this egg have developed a fear of the Ancient Moon Bird because of this incident, right?

Hu Yang realized this possibility and showed a solemn expression on his face.

Upon seeing this, Dr. Ohki knew that Populus euphratica had found the answer to the problem.

He said with a smile: "Don't worry, try to communicate with it, it can hear it."

Hu Yang felt that there was little hope in his heart, because the ancient moon bird's rough way of picking things up might have left a deep psychological shadow on the egg.

And he accidentally dropped the egg on the ground before.

It just didn't break.

Maybe in the eyes of the other party, the image of him and Gu Yue Bird has changed from a human and a silly bird to a terrifying combination of a snarling demon and a demon bird.

Thinking of this, Hu Yang didn't know what to say for a while.

Because he stayed up all night and fought hard all night, Dr. Ohmu didn't say much. After explaining the matter, he hung up the video phone and prepared to catch up on his sleep.

But before hanging up the phone, he smiled and said to Hu Yang: "Let's talk next time! I believe it won't be long before we can meet."

Hu Yang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you coming to the Chengdu area?"

However, the Pokémon egg matter has been resolved for the time being. He plans to leave Dr. Kongmu's research institute and officially start traveling in the Johto area.

"Yes." Dr. Omu smiled and nodded: "There happen to be some research results that need to be exchanged with Kongmu."

Hu Yang: "...that doctor, I'm ready to leave Dr. Kongmu's side."

"That's it...that's really regrettable." Although Dr. Omu said this, there was no regret at all on his face: "If that's the case, then go ahead!"

Hu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that the character of Dr. Omu in this world seemed a bit familiar.

If Granny Juzi knew that Dr. Omu was so enthusiastic about him, she would probably get a slap in the face.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, Kikuko had asked him a long time ago if he was a fan of that old guy Omu.

At that time, his answer was no, and he said that he did not know Dr. Omu.

As an outsider, it is quite interesting to look at the relationship between Oki and Kikuko from the perspective of a bystander.

After hanging up the phone, Dr. Kongmu smiled and said, "Dr. Ohmu has always been so serious and knowledgeable."

Hu Yang nodded, and then said to Dr. Kongmu: "Doctor, it's time for me to leave here. Thank you for your hospitality these two days."

"If anything, it's just a few meals." Dr. Kongmu said: "And speaking of it, I should be the one thanking you. If it weren't for you, I might not have known that there would be such a special treasure in this world. Kemen eggs.”

After the two shied away from each other, Hu Yang took the egg and his group of Pokémon and left the Kongmu Research Institute, leaving the town where the wind of initiation blew.

This time, Populus euphratica did not take the tram, but adopted the traditional way for trainers to travel - walking.

Standing in the wilderness with a strong local atmosphere, Populus euphratica looked at the map of the Chengdu area in his hand and said in his heart:

"First go to Platycodon City to investigate the Alfu ruins there, and then set off to Yuanzhu City to see where Ho-oh and Lugia once lived."

When he came to the Chengdu area this time, he no longer needed to collect eight badges. Therefore, Hu Yang planned to take a trip as he pleased.

The reason why we went to the Aluf ruins first was because there were a large number of unknown totems living there.

Hu Yang was still quite curious about what happened to the unknown totem.

Their connection to the world, their connection to words, their connection to Arceus and the three gods of Sinnoh.

But before setting off, Hu Yang planned to conduct special training on Iron Dumbbell and Gengar who were infected with the Pokémon virus in the wild forest.

In the game, the basic effort points earned by a Pokémon infected with the Pokémon virus after the battle is multiplied compared to the original value.

In other words, special training of Pokémon during the infection period can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Moreover, the Poké Virus will disappear in a few days, so don’t hurry up.

The only pity is that only Iron Dumbbell and Gengar in the team are infected, and there is no movement on the other Pokémon.

Populus euphratica only hopes to infect Gardevoir Charizard and Yaya in the next few days.
