Pokémon Breeding House Starting from Pirates.

Many players have gathered on the grass outside.

Some of them already have Pokémon around them, but they are basically the same few.

Rinko Kamishiro guessed that it should be the 'initial partner' obtained from the research institute in the main quest, and there should be only those few Pokémon to choose from.

She did not rush to the research institute, but stood aside and calmly observed the movements of the Pokémon.

As a scientist, Rinko Kamishiro always analyzes calmly and makes choices that will benefit the future, but she soon realizes that this is just a game and there is no point in analyzing which Pokémon are better or worse.

So she turned around and left, walking towards the research institute.

In fact, if Rinko Kamishiro plans to play the game, then her starting difficulty will definitely be much lower than that of players who choose Pokémon based on appearance.

Among the original three Pokémon in the Pokémon series, choosing different Pokémon does mean choosing different starting difficulties.

For example, characters with the grass attribute will basically always start at normal or easy difficulty, because the effectiveness of grass attribute skills in the game is indeed higher.

However, for the vast majority of players, they still prefer to start with fire or water Pokémon.

Because there is a higher probability of handsome Pokémon appearing with these two attributes.

For example, Charizard, Flame Chicken, Greninja, Infernape, King Nabo, Swampert.

There are also some cool grass-type Pokémon.

For example, the king lizard and the monarch snake.

But the former's contemporaries are Blaziken and Swampert, two handsome and powerful players. Unless it is true love, you will not choose Lizardking.

The environment for the latter is very good. At the same time, there are Great Sword Demon and Flame King. In terms of appearance, they are not on the same level as the Monarch Snake, so the selection rate is quite high.

This situation continued until the Zhuzi version, when Grass-type Pokémon finally stood up.

The Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile and the Carnival Wave Dancing Duck are completely unable to compare with the Grass-Lord Magic Masked Cat, both in terms of strength and appearance.

Magical Masked Meowth is a Pokémon that has become a dark horse star in the 3D area not long after its appearance. Its popularity is second only to the Eternal Queen Gardevoir, but it has basically surpassed veteran players such as Jackrabbit.

In the updated "Pokemon", the map has been proportionally reduced, reducing the time players spend on the road.

So, a journey that would normally take an hour on foot in SAO, Kamishiro Rinko only took fifteen minutes to reach her destination.

【Arzeus Research Institute】

Rinko Kamishiro looked at the crowded research institute in front of her. If she wasn't in the game, cold sweat would have flowed down her forehead.

But she soon discovered something was wrong.

Players poured in like a tide. She stood and watched for a minute or two and estimated that there were hundreds of people squeezing in. However, the research institute in front of her, which was only about 120 square meters in size, still did not look full.

Rinko Kamishiro took a step forward and walked inside.

By the time she entered the research institute, she knew what was going on.

From the outside, the research institute looked crowded, but when you got inside, it was empty.

look around.

At the very front, there was a green-haired man in a white coat, standing there, looking at him with a smile.

She was no stranger to this character.

Because this character has appeared countless times on the Internet, a survivor of the SAO incident with superb painting skills drew the three final bosses.

The NPC in front of you who is acting as a 'guide' is the big boss.

She could even imagine how a SAO surviving player would react when he entered the game and saw this person again.

In other locations, there were several NPCs with their backs to her, operating the scientific research equipment in the institute.

If I just stood there and watched quietly, this scene would be quite strange, because these people clearly saw me enter the research institute but it seemed as if they didn't see anything.

'It's all AI.'

Based on her observation for a few minutes, she has determined that this group of NPCs do not have advanced intelligence.

Even the boss 'Arceus', who was called indistinguishable from a human by players in SAO, now stood here like a robot in a suit.

"When SAO ended, did the missions of those three bosses also end?"

Kamishiro Rinko guessed secretly while walking forward to trigger the interaction.

"Hello, I'm here."

Rinko Kamishiro's serious look is actually how many Japanese players look when facing NPCs.

Because the NPCs in virtual reality are almost the same as real people.

Moreover, for people like Rinko Kamishiro who have little gaming experience and whose main focus is real life, it is easy for them to bring their real-life experiences into this virtual reality game.

"Welcome, the children have been waiting for you for a while, Miss Rinko."

Arceus responded as per the formula, pointing to the nine Poké Balls on the table behind him.

At the same time, nine card-like panels appeared in front of Kamishiro Rinko.

Information about nine Pokémon is displayed on it.

They are:

Charmander.

Vine snake.

Bubble frog.

Ghost.

Scorpio.

Sandshrew(Alola).

Mealy sheep.

La Rulas.

Bluebird.

Rinko Kamishiro took a quick look and directly blocked six of the Pokémon, leaving only three Pokémon: Snakehead, Rallas, and Bluebird.

There is no other reason to keep these three, just because they look cute.

After considering for a few seconds, she chose Snakebite, which looked the most heroic and proud among the three Pokémon.

Lalulas and Bluebird looked too delicate, not the type she was looking for.

"It seems that you have already chosen your first partner. Then, embark on a new journey with this child."

Arceus smiled and nodded, then handed the Pokémon Ball containing Serpentar to Rinko Kamishiro, and then took out a book and a tablet device, "This trainer's manual can help you understand this profession faster and walk more easily on this path; and this Pokémon Pokedex can help you recognize Pokémon you have never seen before."

"Thank you. Goodbye then."

Rinko Kamishiro bowed slightly and left the research institute with the tools Arceus gave her.

There were still a lot of people outside, and the appearance of Kamishiro Rinko made some players take a second look.

Some were curious about what kind of Pokémon Kamishiro Rinko chose, while some of their eyes stayed on Kamishiro Rinko's chest.

'It's a bit too big.'

Feeling that kind of gaze, Kamishiro Rinko sighed helplessly.

It was the first time that she felt the trouble of having big breasts. Not only did it make it difficult for her to walk, but it also attracted some disgusting looks.

Fortunately, the players just followed their instinct and took a quick look.

Unlike the SAO public beta period, gender and appearance can be changed at will in "Pokemon", so no player knows whether a mature lady is controlled by a sweaty uncle with smelly feet.

Rinko Kamishiro found a relatively quiet place and summoned her own Fujimoto Snake.

"Teng Teng~"

As soon as the Fujito Snake appeared, it circled around Kamishiro Rinko, looking very happy.

However, this action made Rinko Kamishiro realize that these Pokémon were very different from what the SAO survivors described as "creatures with their own consciousness."

Because when she was observing the fighting abilities of those Pokémon, she discovered that when Snakebite was summoned by the player, it would have a fixed appearance action of circling around the trainer.

Therefore, these Pokémon do not possess the intelligence comparable to that of intelligent creatures, but are data that follow a certain set of rules.

This is a game that truly fits the players' understanding, so everyone had a lot of fun playing it and exploring the main gameplay.

The so-called main gameplay is that players travel with Pokémon on floors 1-100.

The previous gameplay, which required players to defeat the boss together to unlock the teleportation array to the next level, was retained.

But on this basis, a large number of wild Pokémon have been added, allowing players to capture them and build their own teams.

After that, players will have to challenge eight gyms on the 10th/20th/3080th floors to obtain badges.

After getting eight badges, you can participate in the challenge of the Four Heavenly Kings and then the champion on the 90th floor.

Once players successfully challenge the champion, they will have the opportunity to participate in the annual Aincrad Pokémon Battle Tournament on the 100th floor and the qualification to participate in daily Rank Ladder qualifying competitions.

There are also many ways to play, such as Pokémon Cube, Coordination Competition, and Breeding House, but they are not mainstream.

In addition, SAO's original sub-job system, guild system, street PK system and other gameplay are all retained.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was ten o'clock in the evening.

Although it is not early anymore, the number of online Pokémon players is still increasing.

Rinko Kamishiro was alone in the game waiting for Heathcliff to come online, and she took Snake to kill monsters and see the scenery. Time passed quickly.

Just as she was sitting in the park holding her vine snake and enjoying the evening breeze, she heard a crisp ringing of a bell in her ears.

She opened her eyes and clicked on her system settings in confusion.

【Friends (1)】

Seeing that the friend list that was originally empty suddenly had an account named [Heathcliff], and that this account was in the 'online' state, Kamishiro Rinko's eyes widened.

I took a deep breath and my nose felt slightly sore.

Although she wanted to cry, she was not sure whether Kayaba Akihiko was alive, and whether this Heathcliff account was logged in by her lover Kayaba Akihiko.

Her mind told her that Kayaba Akihiko was dead, she had seen the body with her own eyes.

But deep down I have other expectations.

After all, this man is not the first time to create a "miracle".
