It all starts with helping Pokémon

Chapter 8 Kabukicho Belongs to Pokémon
"This, this, this... I have time-traveled again?"

Hoshino grabbed the handrail of the balcony and looked down. The street, which was empty in the afternoon, was now flickering with neon lights, making it extremely lively!
People come and go... It should be said that Baolai Baochang is right. The whole street is full of Pokémon walking around and standing in front of the store to entertain customers!

There is a mongoose inspector who seems to have finished his inspection work for a day, and brings a few mongooses who seem to be new additions, walking and chatting on the street, introducing the surroundings, and drawing in the relationship between the seniors and the juniors.

There are also those like the Blazing Roaring Tiger who just finished the group arena, hooking shoulders with his good brother Hong Kong Orangutan, both of them seem to be drunk, walking in the middle of the street swaggeringly, constantly making strange laughter, making some Pokémon around Can only avoid walking.

There are also Miss Quer and Miss Goth, who are like good sisters. They are dressed like humans, holding hands, carrying bags, and shopping happily...

Such a scene is far more than that. If it is placed on a human being, it will be very normal, like visiting some bustling Night City, but if it is all Pokémon, it will be very strange!

Hoshino's hands gripping the railing trembled slightly, his body subconsciously took a few steps back, and when he returned to the house, he didn't know what expression to make. What he saw just now was completely beyond the scope of comprehension.

"It must be the wrong way to open the door..."

After thinking this way, he closed the door again, ignored the noisy voices, waited for a few seconds, and then opened the door again, looking down...

"Isn't this still the same!"

"I only slept... for six hours, why does the whole world seem to have changed!"

Hoshino glanced at the time on his phone, and said that he couldn't understand it at all. It's only been a few hours... Could it be that some hidden copy has been turned on?

He couldn't figure it out, and felt that he was the only human being left in the whole world now, and he couldn't understand what those Pokémon communicated at all.

But at this time, he looked down to the first floor, only to find that there seemed to be a moving signboard with LED lights, which was constantly flashing.

He couldn't see clearly what was written on it from this angle, but he guessed that it said "Daily Izakaya", and the Daidai King on the first floor has opened a shop!

In order to find out what was going on in this street, he immediately went downstairs and ran towards the store.

"If you want to open a shop, then just ask the boss. After all, Dull King is just a Pokémon, and the real owner of the izakaya must be its trainer. After all, I am also the upstairs neighbor!"

As soon as he ran down the stairs, Hoshino was immediately noticed by some Pokémon on the street.

However, he didn't notice, let alone that some of the Pokémon were staring at him unkindly, but continued to run into the izakaya that opened the door...

The interior style of the izakaya is retro, and the floor and walls are also made of imitation wood structure.

There are many long wooden tables and chairs neatly placed on the left side. There are Haoli and Iron Bone natives who seem to have just returned from the construction site, drinking happily, just like human behavior.

On the right side is a long bar counter, and there is a slow-witted animal like a mascot, lying on it, looking up at the sky and making a sound of "stupid~".

There is a row of high stools below, but there are no customers sitting on them now, and no other humans are seen here, only a Dumb King reading a newspaper behind the bar...

"???"

"Wait... don't tell me..."

Just for a moment, Hoshino seemed to realize something, and at the same time, King Daidai also swept his gaze over, still with that expression full of wisdom.

"stay?"

"Forehead……"

Hoshino didn't know what to do next, so he could only walk over and sit in front of the bar, nervously preparing to inquire about something.

"Just because of staying?"

"that……"

He put his hands on the bar, looked at the wise King Dumb before him, hesitated to speak, hesitated for a while, and asked, "By the way... why are there all Pokémon here? And why are they all related to humans?" same, casual shopping, eating, drinking and chatting, and why are you really a dull boss?"

Hoshino asked all the questions in his mind at once. It didn't matter whether the other party would answer or not. He just wanted to find someone who could tell what he had seen and heard in less than 10 minutes.

But what he never expected was that Duduwang suddenly turned his head away, skillfully took out a lollipop, tore open the package, held it in his mouth like a cigarette, and chewed it with great enjoyment.

After replenishing the sugar, it turned around, squinted its eyes, and its expression suddenly became contemptuous. It tapped the bar with its hands rhythmically, and said slowly: "What do you think this is? This is Hoole Kabukicho... Kabukicho!"

"Kabukicho? What is Kabukicho! This is what the Pokémon world should be... huh?"

When Hoshino was complaining loudly when he heard the name, he suddenly realized something even more outrageous, and his expression froze for an instant.

"The Dumb King... has spoken!"

"It's telepathy, what a fuss."

"Eh... oh, but in the afternoon..."

"Only when I communicate with you humans, I will use telepathy. Why do you stupid guys not understand us at all? It's really troublesome."

"Sorry for being so stupid..."

After subconsciously apologizing, Hoshino was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that this is not the time to say this, and then shouted: "That's not right! What I want to ask is what Kabukicho is!"

He felt that he was about to turn into a hundred thousand renzhuli. As a self-proclaimed treasurer, he was rich in gold, but the knowledge reserve in his mind was actually useless here.

Fortunately, after staring at him for a while, King Daidai answered this question.

"The so-called Kabukicho is a city that never sleeps for Pokémon's leisure and entertainment. Do you think our Pokémon are pets who only know how to fight and show cute every day? How naive!"

"Forehead……"

Hoshino has never thought of this before. To him, Pokémon are creatures with emotions living in this world just like humans.

And the Dumb King continued: "Pokémon, whether they live in the wild, wander in the city, or have been subdued by human trainers...they will all be under pressure."

"For some dissatisfaction and complaints in the trainer's daily life, such as not playing in the battle, the trainer loves the other Pokémon he has received more, likes the new and dislikes the old, and the strength is gradually unable to keep up with the team. Months or even years to see each other..."

"Who can guarantee that all trainers can care about each of their own Pokémon? I have seen some human beings who don't even remember how many Pokémon they have tamed. After these emotions and mentality appear, What should I do if the Pokémon's depression cannot be released?"

Hearing this, Hoshino seemed to understand suddenly, squinted his eyes, and said slowly: "Could it be..."

"That's right!"

King Dudu nodded and continued: "This is the role of the existence of Hau Le Kabukicho. Here, Pokémon with good brains can open a shop and do business, and other Pokémon can spend money or use equivalent things. Come to trade and enjoy, this is a paradise belonging to Pokémon, a night city belonging to Pokémon!"

"hiss--"

Hoshino took a deep breath. The knowledge of Pokémon has increased. Before, because it was a game, it could only be understood from the setting and background.

But I didn't expect that the Pokémon that really lived in this world would have such a side, but there seemed to be some other problems in it.

"Wait! No other humans know about such a big Kabukicho? Or did some Pokémon tell their trainers?"

Hoshino is very strange, even if this place is disguised as a homeless neighborhood during the day, but what about at night?The lights are bright, but no one notices?
Hearing this, King Daidai suddenly laughed disdainfully, as if he knew that he would ask this question a long time ago.

"Because this is the domain of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kabukicho, all interpretation rights belong to them, and if there is anything that cannot be explained, go to them!"

"???"
