Chapter 954: Lifting the Curse
Hoenn.
Devon Corporation headquarters in Kanazawa City.
The main hall of the venue.
Kashiwagi and the Ethereum Foundation were invited here to attend the multilateral mobile phone launch conference.
Although Dr. Akihabara later sat up several times during his illness, he hoped that he could host the press conference as usual.
But with the efforts and persuasion of all parties.
He gradually died down.
"Isn't it just that they are younger and more handsome than me? They even told me not to appear on the stage of Unit-01. What a bunch of heartless people..."
Dr. Akihabara bit his handkerchief, tears of unwillingness overflowing from the corners of his eyes.
He is over 40 years old and is already a middle-aged man, but his youthful face makes him look less old.
Compared with Daigo, he is far from that.
Kashiwagi was ashamed.
"Doctor, compared to who will host the press conference, I think it is more important for you to update your phone system."
The multilateral mobile phone system was jointly developed by Dr. Akihabara and Dewen Corporation.
The research and development time is less than half a year, and there are still many minor bugs.
The reason why Kashiwagi has been used until now is that Porygon II has quietly written various patches on its own, and the sample machine has enough functions.
Ordinary Porygons neither have the authority to modify the system nor are they as domineering as it.
Dr. Akihabara nodded absentmindedly.
Whether the Porygon clan can rise depends on today.
"Kashiwagi!"
A familiar voice called out.
Kashiwagi turned around and saw Mikoli and Rukia, the uncle and nephew. They were dressed in their best clothes and attracted countless eyes as they walked.
He smiled and walked forward to greet him.
"long time no see!"
"Haha! I didn't expect that in just one year, you've accomplished so much!"
Mikoli put his arm around his shoulders warmly with an expression that said, "I'm proud of you."
Hearing this, Kashiwagi quickly waved his hands and said, "I just provided the idea, this is not my career!"
Although there are dividends.
"Creativity is the most important thing! As a top coordination trainer, how can you forget the importance of creativity?"
Lukia pretended to be angry, then giggled and shook her slender jade-like arms, "Hello~ Long time no see~!"
She quietly lip-synced the name of her beloved disciple.
Kashiwagi pretended not to see it.
The two of them are busy with their own things on weekdays, but they often chat in Pokéline, so their relationship has not become unfamiliar.
We talked about the past for a while.
You can enter the press conference now.
He was about to ask where Mikoli and Lucia were sitting, but they had disappeared.
"Ok?"
"Come in, come in!"
Before he could ask anyone else, Dr. Akihabara pulled him in.
Take a seat in your designated front row seat.
Kashiwagi saw Liliae's family nearby. They had just gone to meet some acquaintances to reminisce about the past.
In the past six months since Moon returned, he has been busy with handover work and has not had a good reunion with his former friends and family.
at this time.
Lilia's face was flushed, and she was excited with a hint of anticipation.
Ever since she developed a phobia for Pokémon, Lusamine rarely brought her to such occasions.
So it's quite novel.
On the other side, Gladion looked normal, he was the same kind of fighting idiot as Xiaozhi, maybe even more extreme.
I have no interest in anything other than fighting.
Xiaozhi would at least shout: "The power of science is amazing!"
Speaking of which, if the Pokémon school hadn't had an extracurricular activity today, Satoshi and the rest of the Sun and Moon protagonists would probably have been able to show up to support the event.
A few moments.
The stage lights came on, and a promotional video for the multi-faceted mobile phone was displayed on the huge screen.
Daigo showed up in a proper manner.
But once it appeared on stage, it caused a lot of cheers.
After all, no one is more admired than the champion, let alone the champion of the region!
"Everyone! Welcome to the Multilateral Mobile Phone Conference!"
Daigo spoke confidently and calmly, and even used virtual projection to perform a magic trick to conjure up a real multi-sided mobile phone.
This made Dr. Akihabara bite his handkerchief again.
"My speech has also been changed, wuwuwu——"
"Doctor, don't do this..."
Kashiwagi comforted him helplessly while observing the expressions of everyone around him.
all the time.
No matter how hard Dr. Akihabara tried, Porygon just couldn't be promoted.
Even though he had shown the power of Porygon II at the Caiyou Conference, there were still only a hundred Porygon trainers today.
It seemed as if there was an invisible force restricting the development of Porygon.
Is it really the influence of "reality" on the Pokémon world?
Is it true that there is no way to change fate no matter what?
today.
This is the decisive moment when multilateral mobile phones break the curse.
A series of organizations including the Ether Foundation, Devin Company, Ocean Team, Lava Team, etc. have all contributed to the multilateral mobile phone!
Their opponent has never been CellRotom!
But this damn fate!
Let Porygon show its brilliance!
"...Let's take a look at the pricing of multilateral mobile phones!" Daigo stepped aside.
Three prices popped up on the gorgeous screen.
The whole place was excited!
Just like Xiaomi’s original shocking price of 1999, the prices of many mobile phones are also shocking.
You should know that the price of Rotom mobile phone is twice that of ordinary smart phones.
And Duofang mobile phones are priced only a few thousand yuan more than ordinary smartphones!
In this world where the purchasing power of a currency is equal to that of the Japanese yen, a few thousand dollars is equivalent to a few hundred in the past life!
Why is it so cheap?
Because Devin started out making products for Pokémon trainers, such as multi-function navigators, diving equipment, and many types of Poké Balls.
For example, the luxury ball, catching ball, repeating ball, timing ball, etc. are all products developed by Dewen Company.
They know best that most Pokémon Trainers don't have much money in their pockets, and most of the money is spent on Pokémon, so they have a lot of experience in compressing finished products.
As costs are reduced, pricing will naturally follow suit.
In terms of product competitiveness, few companies can achieve the level of Dewen, not even Silver from Kanto.
The price announcement phase has not yet ended.
A cloud of mist spread across the stage.
follow closely.
Amid the screams of many people, Mikoli and Rukia both appeared.
On their sides are the proud-looking Milotic and the lively and cute Tanabata Bluebird.
The screen in the background showed two people each holding a different polygonal mobile phone, a beautiful promotional photo like a magazine cover.
Daigo said: "We have specially invited Mr. Mikoli, the master of the gorgeous contest, and Liu Ji, the idol of the gorgeous contest, to serve as the spokespersons for the multilateral mobile phone!"
Endorsement?
I do not know how?
Kashiwagi turned to look at Dr. Akihabara in surprise, who also looked confused.
He pulled out his phone to check the blog.
It exploded as expected.
In the previous life, Lukia was a top idol and Mikoli was a legendary idol. The traffic brought by the two was terrifying to the extreme.
Looking at the official website of Duobian Mobile, all 50,000 units released have been sold out!
Half an hour into the show!
It worked!
Kashiwagi hurriedly shared this joy with Dr. Akihabara, who burst into tears on the spot and no longer cared about the host or the spokesperson.
"Finally, finally succeeded! Kashiwagi!"
He hugged her with tears in his eyes and cried loudly, "The luckiest thing in my life is meeting you!"
There is no cypress.
He felt that he would never think of making a mobile phone in his life, and it would be impossible for him to find the escaped Unit-00.
I guess I still have to clean up its butt now.
Lilia stared at the two of them blankly, but her attention was soon drawn to Lukia who began to perform.
After the gorgeous competition was restructured.
Lukia has found a new direction for her performance - trainer singing and dancing plus gorgeous Pokémon performances.
This also makes her title of gorgeous idol even more worthy of its name.
Dance finished.
The press conference ended successfully.
Kashiwagi stood up and clapped, and the people around him were inspired to stand up and applaud and cheer.
Everyone present knew it.
Multilateral mobile phone, it’s done!
From now on, there will be two Pokémon smartphones competing against each other in the world!
-
Unit-00 was both happy and disappointed.
The good news is that it is one step closer to its goal of exploring new homes on alien planets.
The disappointment is that a cyber war is unlikely to take place.
All the Porygons are looking forward to reaching the shoppers as soon as possible, but no one will respond to their call.
Multilateral mobile phones are too successful.
As a result, the sales of Rotom mobile phones began to decline.
But this may be a good thing for friendly competitors.
It is rumored that the other party's order has been extended to one year later, which means that if you buy a mobile phone today, you will have to wait one year to receive it.
The lack of Rotom has greatly reduced their production capacity.
At the same time, the Pokémon black market flourished as a result, and the price of Rotom Mobile increased tenfold there.
Many Pokémon hunters travel through the mountains and abandoned houses between cities in search of wild Rotom.
Multilateral mobile phones have eased the heat.
More importantly, although the animation world does not have faith in mobile phones, it does have faith in manufacturers.
Devon's many high-quality and low-priced products have earned it a lot of loyal fans.
They are all willing to pay for multilateral mobile phones.
It is estimated that the 50,000 units released the next day were lost in this way.
Dr. Akihabara went back to work overtime to produce Porygon. He was happy and cheerful at the moment. It was said that he even laughed in his dreams.
This made many assistants shudder.
at the same time.
Pokémon became a little famous.
With 100,000 new users in the short term, the number is expected to continue to grow as the multi-sided mobile phones are selling like crazy.
A version compatible with Rotom Mobile is being urgently developed.
To Porygon, Rotom is a "friendly competitor", and to Pokémon, Rotom is a partner.
Now that similar products are starting to appear online, the number of users means everything.
"I'll do my best!"
Lilia witnessed the rise of multilateral mobile phones.
This stimulated her career ambition, which she inherited from Lusamine. It is unclear what Liliae's goals were in the original anime.
This one clearly wants to be the Queen of Business.
Kashiwagi gave her a thumbs up.
-
Olei.
Platinum Silver Mountain.
This time the trip was shorter.
Overall, it’s been less than half a month, and there’s basically no change on the mountain—
Just look at the environment.
Just as Kashiwagi imagined, Alola Meowth thrived in Platinum and Silver Mountain, fully unleashing its evil nature.
It united all the Pokémon with cat elements on the mountain, and confronted the former leader of wild Pokémon, the Lycanroc.
Success has brought a little ripple to everyone's peaceful life.
There is nothing wrong with it.
Wild Pokémon can't sit still after all.
Pokémon like Galar Suncoral that love to eat and sleep are actually a niche.
No matter how much a Pokémon yearns for peace, it will occasionally have the urge to fight.
Alola Meowth seems to have divided the Pokémon on the mountain, causing everyone to form opposing stances, but it has also brought new rules.
For example, one-on-one fights, group fights, etc.
As smart as it is, it never participates in battles. It claims to be a counselor to the outside world and often invites the respected King of the Belle Crown to be the judge.
He would also try to please Lingyouma at night.
The main reason is that the Ponyta doesn't pay much attention to the Belle Crown, so it has to find one more person to please.
Snowstorm Horse doesn't have to worry about it.
of course.
In addition to playing, Alola Meowth often calls some Pokémon that are good at cleaning to clean the villa together.
As a result, when Kashiwagi returned home, everything looked brand new.
This made Happy Egg very disappointed.
Spring cleaning is one of the few pleasures it has.
For this, Kashiwagi naturally praised Alola Meowth.
Then tell it not to do it.
"Doing housework is Happy Egg's hobby, do you understand?" Kashiwagi scratched Meowth's chin.
Meow Meow responded softly while snoring.
It likes it here.
Plenty of food and pleasant environment.
All the wild Pokémon on the mountain are willing to play with it, allowing it to integrate other wild Pokémon in a very short time.
The tiger skin of cypress and bud crown king is also the most important reason.
As long as it says that it was specially sent by Kashiwagi, even the most ferocious Pokémon will give it face.
How could it have such an opportunity in Alola?
After being driven away by its mother cat when it grew up, it had to use its intelligence and talents to survive in the mountains.
Miaomiao will never forget the time when he accidentally entered the territory of a group of throwing stones monkeys and was pelted with all kinds of flying stones and had to run away in panic.
Maybe it was that time.
This made it determined to have a cat-on-cat life.
Now I finally got what I wanted.
"Meow~"
"Stop meowing. I'll take you to the beauty salon in a couple of days to get your fur trimmed."
Kashiwagi put it on the sofa and answered the ringing phone.
The countdown to the opening ceremony of the Orei Conference has officially begun.
The number of people challenging the four major tests began to increase, and many of them were traveling.
According to Shan Minoru, the number of people who have passed the four major tests has now exceeded three hundred.
Over five thousand people signed up!
It greatly exceeded his expectations.
How to reasonably eliminate these contestants became what he had to consider next.
Kashiwagi: “Hello?”
"Boss! We are back!"
The person who spoke was Otsuka. He shouted excitedly: "You don't know, we traveled all over the world with Master Genji, and our strength is——"
"You said these words to my face! Didn't Cheng Hong inform you to come over for dinner tonight?"
Kashiwagi interrupted Otsuka's endless sharing.
Otsuka said embarrassedly: "I told you, hehehe, I just couldn't help it..."
"Bye."
"No! It's urgent!"
He hurriedly called a halt and shouted, "You don't know, we just brought back someone along the way! It's someone you know!"
"……who?"
"Manchong, Manchong, do you remember him? He was a head shorter than me and had green hair!"
"Where is he - never mind, bring him back later!"
Kashiwagi said and hung up the phone.
Manchong, Manchong actually came to Orei to attend the conference!
The two haven't been in touch since they last parted, mainly because Manchong never replies to their messages.
It seems that he has gone to find a place for special training.
There are more and more acquaintances.
Kashiwagi recalled the faces one by one and finally smiled.
“Hope you have fun!”
