6 month 30 day.

After a month of discussions and the entry of major merchants and even other countries, virtual reality games that were supposed to be banned were finally allowed to be played.

However, the only virtual reality game still available on the market is "Pokemon".

Everyone was very confused by this name. They had never heard of any news about the launch of any other virtual reality games except "SAO" before.

Moreover, this game can be loaded into your own game library without spending any money, but players are required to purchase the gaming equipment themselves - the second-generation NERvGear, which is available online all over the world.

This is even more confusing.

If making games doesn't make money, then why bother?

Many people have huge doubts about this, but what is even more strange is that when they investigated the operating company of this game, they found nothing.

Originally, many manufacturers of the second-generation NERvGear wanted to contact the operators of "Pokemon" to see if they could conduct a small transaction and manipulate the traffic. As a result, they couldn't find any operators at all.

Although this game can be saved in the game library by players, it has not yet been officially launched.

However, according to the preview on the official homepage of the game, the mystery of the game "Pokemon" will be unveiled at 8 o'clock tonight.

Eight o'clock at night.

Rinko Kamishiro was already wearing the first generation NERvGear and lying on the bed.

Others don't know what's going on, but as the lover of Kayaba Akihiko, how could she not know the truth about "Pokemon"? It was adapted from the death game "SAO" that just ended a month ago.

"How on earth did you do that, Jingyan?"

Rinko Kamishiro closed her eyes and murmured on the bed, thinking constantly while waiting for the game to start.

She was sure that Kayaba Akihiko was dead, but why did Kayaba Akihiko say that she could meet him when she entered the game after Aincrad reopened?

'Is Akihiko still alive?'

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Rinko Kamishiro dispelled it herself.

She believed that Kayaba Akihiko must have simply intercepted a part of his consciousness in Aincrad. They had studied such technology before, so it was not impossible to achieve it.

But Kamishiro Rinko had another question in her mind.

Who is actually operating the game "Pokemon"?

After the SAO incident, ARGUS, the original operator and game development company of "SAO", went bankrupt due to the huge debt of compensation for the incident.

Originally, Asuna's father, Yuuki Shozo, was going to take over the server and continue operating it, but after RECT and ARGUS got to know each other, they found out that all the permissions regarding SAO in ARGUS's hands had been secretly taken back by the developer Kayaba Akihiko a year ago. Now they do not have the authority to continue controlling SAO, so naturally they cannot hand over the server to RECT.

But if even RECT can't keep it running, then who else in Japan can do this?

Question after question flashed through her mind until a white light flashed before her eyes and she entered the game.

What appeared in Kamishiro Rinko's vision was a quiet town full of natural atmosphere. In the center of the town stood a giant tree that seemed to have no end.

At the same time, in the town and around the giant tree, there are countless creatures that look full of fantasy.

Just as Rinko Kamishiro noticed these creatures, the title of "Pokemon" also appeared in front of her eyes.

'Pokemon.'

Rinko Kamishiro understood that those creatures were most likely the so-called Pokémon, which was also the theme of this game.

In other words, all the players who went to the 101st floor at that time chose to go to the Pokémon Island, otherwise they would immediately discover that the background of the homepage was Yggdrasil.

However, although this group of players is no longer there, some survivors of the previous SAO incident have entered the game.

Although most of them were traumatized by this type of virtual reality game, some fearless people still couldn't resist their curiosity and chose to log in.

When they saw those 'Pokemon', they immediately exclaimed, 'Isn't this Pokémon? !'

Some smart players have already guessed the truth.

It's not that a talented person other than Kayaba Akihiko appeared in this world and created a new virtual world, but that this new virtual reality game was originally modified from Aincrad!

But there was still one thing they were unsure of.

Now that Kayaba Akihiko has passed away, there are two possibilities for why this virtual reality game will still be released.

One possibility is that this new version was already prepared after Kayaba Akihiko's death, but someone helped to spread it out later.

Another possibility is that the authority of the SAO server has been transferred to someone else by Kayaba Akihiko, and this 'someone else' can modify the game with just a little bit of ability.

After all, the difficulty lies in creating a virtual reality world. If we just delete or modify the content on the original template, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.

But no matter what, after realizing that this matter was related to Kayaba Akihiko.

Basically all the surviving SAO players logged out of the game immediately. Their bodies are still weak and they can't stand being locked up for another year or two.

Among the SAO survivors, there is only one type of people who are still playing the game, and that is the trainers or those who failed to reach the 101st floor.

After seeing the Pokémon on the cover, they couldn't help but want to continue playing the game.

Most players chose to wait and watch quietly, and some even expected Kayaba Akihiko to do something weird and lock up a bunch of people again, but some chose to make the news public.

Rinko Kamishiro was unaware of these things.

She has stopped at the character creation screen.

Originally, Rinko Kamishiro was a person who hardly cared about her appearance. Women who do scientific research usually don't have the energy or time to spend time on their makeup.

But considering that he was going to see his lover Kayaba Akihiko.

Rinko Kamishiro still chose to pinch her face slightly to make herself look a little better.

(as is)

Rinko Kamishiro first removed all the freckles on her face, and then changed her short hair into waist-length hair.

Just like that, she felt that she looked much better, or at least more feminine.

As if she had discovered the fun in it, Rinko Kamishiro moved her gaze to the board on her chest, and soon the original tangerine turned into a cantaloupe.

"."

The iron lady, who had been calm all this time, blushed at this moment and quickly clicked to create a character, as if she was afraid of being discovered by others.

Enter the game.

First level - the town of origin.

Rinko Kamishiro looked around and saw that a lot of players had gathered, and the number of people who showed up was still increasing.

"Aincrad."

Rinko Kamishiro had helped Kayaba Akihiko test the game SAO in the past, so she roughly knew some of the maps in the game.

The first level of the starting town in front of us is the original first level of SAO, at least at first glance, not much has changed.

This means that there should not be many changes on the game map, so there may be major changes in the game mechanics.

The moment she opened her backpack, Kamishiro Rinko confirmed her thoughts.

The weapon slots and equipment slots that should have been on the character panel have all disappeared, and he is only wearing a simple linen short-sleeved shirt and shorts.

"There's no equipment slot, and no novice props. How do you play this game?"

"I don't know. What exactly is Pokémon?"

"Wow! This is amazing, it's just like real life, and there are only handsome men and beautiful women. The girl's breasts are so big, they must be as big as watermelons."

"Finally I've made it. I envy those SAO players so much for being able to experience such an exciting experience. This time it's finally my turn."

"Oh? There is a main quest, let me take a look."

Listening to the noisy sounds coming from her ears, Rinko Kamishiro opened her backpack one after another, then frowned and ran to an empty corner without making a sound.

【Backpack】

【***: After use, you can send a friend invitation to the GM account 'Heathcliff'. 】

Rinko Kamishiro raised her eyebrows, used the tool, and then looked around again to make sure no one was paying attention.

Judging from what the players around me said just now, this item is undoubtedly unique to me.

She was very familiar with the account 'Heathcliff', which was Kayaba Akihiko's administrator account in SAO. In the original work, this account was originally lent to Kirito to log in and defeat the boss of ALO, Nobuyuki Sugo.

She opened her friend list and found it was still empty, so she had to divert her attention from it temporarily.

[Main Mission: Initial Partner]

[Content: Please go to the 'Arceus Research Institute' in the southeast of the map to receive your first Pokémon]

[Tip: Before receiving your own Pokémon, the player's range of activities will be restricted to avoid being attacked by wild monsters or Pokémon]

"Arzeus."

Kamishiro Rinko murmured.

She had also read the previous news. This so-called 'Arceus' was one of the three final bosses of SAO. It was said that it was an AI similar to humans.

"Go and have a look."

Since her movements were restricted and there was nothing else to do, Rinko Kamishiro decided to try playing the game made by her lover.

Following the instructions on the map, Rinko Kamishiro walked out of the town of origin and was soon attracted by the scenery outside.

Outside the Starting Town is a grassland. It is the same scenery as when she helped Kayaba Akihiko test it before. There are also some wild monsters with yellow health bars on it.

But, in addition to these, there are a large number of creatures with green health bars.

There was a bug with a small horn on its head.

There are purple rats with fangs.

There are also morning glories running around everywhere.

These creatures have appeared many times in the mouths of SAO survivors. Each of their races has its own name, but they are collectively called

Pokémon.
