Chapter 411: The Magical Phone, Rayquaza's Online Alias, and a Rotom Scared by Giratina
Chapter 411: The Magical Phone, Rayquaza's Online Alias, and a Rotom Scared by Giratina
It was a day of swirling snowflakes.
Beyond the window, a frosted landscape stretched as far as the eye could see, the world blanketed in pristine white snow.
Naoki sat on the sofa, taking out the fifty phones he had pre-ordered and beginning the process of installing software on each one.
Although the Rotom Phone had only recently been released, the app store already boasted a diverse array of applications.
The naming conventions of this world's software were equally straightforward, with the majority bearing names related to Pokemon.
Examples included Pichu TV, Pichu Live, PokeBuddy Messenger, Pelipper Delivery, Pokemon Online Shopping, Pokemon NetBank, and PokeForum, among others.
The icon for Pichu TV was a square Pichu head, complete with a television screen inside, resembling a Pichu-themed television set.
True to its name, this app was designed for watching television and movies.
Pichu Live and Pichu TV were part of the same internet company, and streamers could upload their live content to Pichu TV for fans to subscribe and watch.
PokeBuddy Messenger, on the other hand, was a chat and social app developed by the internet division of Rotom Tech based on information provided by Naoki.
Its interface and functions, including a friends' circle feature, closely resembled WeChat, a familiar app from Naoki's previous life.
Pelipper Delivery and Pokemon Online Shopping apps were also creations of Rotom Tech.
One facilitated food delivery, while the other was tailored for online shopping.
Upon opening the Pelipper Delivery app, Naoki noticed that they were recruiting registered stores and Pokemon delivery riders.
The Pokemon Online Shopping app was in a similar situation, having only recently been uploaded and not yet widely downloaded.
Pokemon NetBank, akin to Alipay, was a mobile app for convenient payments and transfers.
PokeForum, on the other hand, served as a platform for netizens from various regions to stay abreast of news and current affairs while engaging in discussions.
Upon opening the app, Naoki stumbled upon several randomly recommended posts by curious users.
For instance, a netizen with the username [Desert Tyrant] asked, "Hello? Can anyone see this?"
The comments section revealed a handful of replies, mostly greetings coupled with exclamations about the wonders of the Rotom Phone and the marvels of the internet.
Naoki couldn't help but smile at their naive reactions.
Thanks to the high-speed internet connection he had set up when purchasing the computer, browsing and downloading speeds were impressively fast.
It was worth noting that Rotom Phones were unique in that they provided constant internet access, even without a Wi-Fi connection, as long as there was a Rotom residing within the device.
Naoki attributed this to the inherent characteristics of the Rotom species.
He noticed that phones without an internal Rotom required a specialized internet access card to utilize online functions.
Naturally, the models with built-in Rotom companions carried a higher price tag.
It took around eight minutes to install all the essential software on the first phone.
Naoki helped Rayquaza register for a personal account on PokeBuddy Messenger and then handed the device over.
Rayquaza eagerly accepted the phone, its eyes filled with curiosity as it examined the electronic gadget crafted by humans.
"Is this the phone you told me about before?" it asked.
Naoki nodded, affirming with a smile, "Yes!"
Leaning closer, he pointed at the screen and introduced the apps to Rayquaza, starting with Pichu TV.
"This is Pichu TV, an app for watching movies. With this, you can enjoy films anytime, anywhere, and the best part is that you won't have to sit through ads."
Rayquaza's eyes sparkled at the mention of ad-free movie-watching, and it asked, "Really?"
"Give it a try," Naoki encouraged. "Just a light touch is enough to open an app. Of course, there's a Rotom living inside the phone, and you can ask it to open apps for you. It will gladly assist."
"If you have any questions or don't understand something, feel free to ask Rotom. It will share everything it knows," Naoki added.
At his words, Rayquaza released its hold on the phone.
The Rotom Phone promptly floated in front of it.
"Rotom, please open a movie for me," Rayquaza requested.
"Received, Rotom," the Rotom replied.
The next second, Pichu TV launched, displaying a neatly organized array of movies and anime for Rayquaza to choose from.
Rotom proceeded to introduce each movie and video to Rayquaza.
Rayquaza selected a movie it had watched before.
"Play 'The Cozy Magcargo Home,'" it requested.
"Playing 'The Cozy Magcargo Home' as requested, Rotom," the Rotom acknowledged.
True to its word, the movie began playing on the screen.
Witnessing this, four words popped into Rayquaza's mind.
Truly magical! This phone is amazing!
Naoki then proceeded to introduce the remaining apps to Rayquaza.
When he reached PokeBuddy Messenger, he opened his own phone and added Rayquaza as a friend.
"Now that you have this," Naoki explained, "you can stay in touch with me anytime, whether it's through video calls or text messages. Oh, and Rotom will translate your words into human language and transcribe them into human text automatically."
"Here's your personal homepage, where you can change your username and profile picture.
It video-called Naoki, typed messages with Rotom's translation help, and checked out the friends' circle.
When it came to the profile picture and username settings, Rayquaza suddenly asked, "What is a username?"
"It's your name on the internet, a nickname. Others can use it to address you, and of course, you can also use your real name and photo if you prefer." Naoki explained.
Rayquaza listened with a perplexed expression.
Before Naoki knew it, Rayquaza had changed its username to Farmer.
"..." Naoki was speechless.
Well, it did fit Rayquaza's line of thinking.
"I've got it memorized," Rayquaza nodded slightly.
"Sure, if you have any questions or don't understand something, you can ask the Rotom inside, or feel free to reach out to me anytime," Naoki said.
Rayquaza nodded gently and then began to examine the human-made machine curiously.
Naoki, meanwhile, took the remaining phones to the Reverse World.
He first located the three Pokemon from the Big Adventure Team and gave them each a Rotom Phone, introducing its features in detail just as he had done for Rayquaza.
"With the Rotom Phone, you'll be able to stay in touch with the ranch at all times from now on. And if you come across any beautiful scenery during your adventures, you can use the camera to take pictures and send them to me," Naoki explained.
As he spoke, Naoki added the Big Adventure Team to his contacts.
Teddiursa and Mew looked at the Rotom Phone floating in front of them with fascination.
They chirped excitedly, indicating that they had gotten the hang of it!
"Great! From now on, Rotom is also a member of the Big Adventure Team. Let it travel with you on your journeys!" Naoki said with a smile.
"Miu~"
Mew happily circled around the floating Rotom Phone.
Next, Naoki went to find Giratina.
As usual, he started by giving a detailed introduction to Giratina.
Giratina initially looked down on this human-made device, but when Naoki mentioned that he had given one to each of the legendary Pokemon, Giratina's interest was piqued.
It wouldn't stand for the other legendary Pokemon having one while it didn't!
Two heavy snorts escaped from Giratina's large nostrils.
Its scarlet eyes fixed on the Rotom Phones beside Naoki.
Perhaps sensing a formidable aura, the Rotom Phones that had been quietly floating behind Naoki suddenly stirred, as if in fear.
The Rotom seemed intimidated by Giratina and reluctant to become its Rotom Phone, hiding behind Naoki.
Naoki was taken aback by this reaction.
Giratina, on the other hand, seemed to understand the reluctance of these weak and useless Pokemon.
When none of them volunteered to accompany it, Giratina flew into a rage and forcibly grabbed the one with the smallest courage.
The poor Rotom was terrified.
Naoki quickly stepped in to stop Giratina: "Hey, hey, hey! No need for such roughness!"
Giratina roared at the small Rotom: "What are you afraid of? I won't eat you!"
Humiliation! Absolute humiliation! It, the ruler of the Reverse World, was actually less favored than those legendary Pokemon from the outside world, and now it was being rejected by these weaklings!
Naoki was speechless.
He immediately warned, "Do not harm the Rotom!"
Giratina scoffed, "Do I look like the type of dragon who would do such a thing?"
Naoki turned to the frightened Rotom and, out of compassion, suggested, "How about I find you another Rotom that isn't afraid of Giratina?"
Giratina stubbornly refused: "No, I want this one!"
Naoki was at a loss for words.
While Giratina had a bad temper, it wasn't the type to arbitrarily harm weaker Pokemon.
Seeing Giratina's unwavering determination, Naoki could only try to reassure the unfortunate Rotom:
"Don't be scared. Giratina just has a bad temper, but it will never harm you. I promise. If it ever does anything to hurt you, you can send me a message, and I'll come to take you away immediately."
Hearing these words, the little Rotom finally relaxed a little, clearly comforted by Naoki's assurance.
"Well, I hope you two can get along," Naoki said, adding Giratina as a friend and then leaving the Reverse World with the remaining Rotom Phones.
During the cold winter, Naoki gave the Dragonite employees two days off, telling them to return to the ranch after the snow stopped.
He planned to distribute the Rotom Phones to them when they came back to work.
Additionally, Naoki had wanted to give one to Golurk as well, but Golurk declined.
In Golurk's opinion, it could always be with Naoki, so it didn't need a Rotom Phone to interfere.
Seeing this, Naoki had no choice but to give up. He left the remaining Rotom Phones in the living room for any Pokemon who wanted to play with them.
While some Pokemon showed great interest in the phones, others remained indifferent.
Naoki didn't force the issue, emphasizing freedom of choice.
He sat down beside Rayquaza.
Human and Pokemon, each with their own device, played with their new toys.
Naoki glanced over and noticed that Rayquaza was intently listening to the Rotom as it explained the phone's various functions.
Naoki noticed that Teddiursa and the others had already changed their usernames.
The Big Adventure Team had become 【Big Adventure Team】, simple and straightforward.
Meanwhile, in the Reverse World...
After Naoki left, Rotom was terrified. It called out for help, but there was no response. Feeling helpless, it decided to play dead.
Giratina stared at it with its scarlet eyes.
Unmoving, the Rotom even dared not breathe.
After a while, it heard the sound of flapping wings.
Rotom opened its eyes and saw the terrifying behemoth in front of it taking off into the air.
The oppressive atmosphere suddenly dissipated, and Rotom breathed a sigh of relief.
Alone in this strange place, the Pokemon felt wronged and wanted to cry.
After an unknown amount of time, the fearsome Pokemon finally returned.
Rotom immediately lay down on the grass and continued to feign death.
However, soon enough, several round, red apples rolled over to its side.
"Hmph, you're so timid. I won't eat you, here are some fruits, eat up!" The cold and disdainful voice of the Pokemon rang out.
Hearing this, Rotom was stunned.
After a long while, seeing that the Pokemon truly had no intention of harming it and was just lying there asleep, Rotom cautiously floated up.
But the next second, it saw the Pokemon open its terrifying blood-red eyes and look in its direction.
Rotom: ∑(дlll)
Under the gaze of those deep eyes, Rotom cautiously said, "I don't eat that, Rotom..."
Giratina's tone was no longer as aggressive as before, and it now sounded ancient and solemn. "Then what do you eat?"
"Electricity, Rotom..."
Outside, it could generate electricity through solar power.
But in this place without sunlight, Rotom didn't know what to do.
What Rotom didn't know was that there used to be one or two Sunflora on this island, but they had all been crushed to death by Giratina while it was sleeping.
Hearing this, Giratina didn't think much of it.
It directly stretched out its front limb and touched the Rotom Phone with its golden claw.
Giratina used Charge Beam.
However, the Rotom Phone was already fully charged, and in just a second, Rotom felt like it was about to be exploded by the electric power.
It quickly floated backward and shook its head. "I'm not hungry right now, Rotom!"
Giratina didn't say anything more and closed its eyes, pretending to sleep.
Rotom was conscientious. At this moment, it also realized that this Pokemon wasn't inherently malicious. After some hesitation, it took the initiative to introduce the functions of the phone to Giratina.
Giratina suddenly opened its eyes and looked at the electronic screen of the Rotom Phone.
Regarding human-made inventions, its innate arrogance as a Legendary Pokemon made it naturally disdainful.
But in truth, Giratina was quite curious.
At this moment, it was intently listening to the Rotom's introduction of the phone's features.
Upon hearing that it could video call Naoki, Giratina immediately asked to make a video call to Naoki.
The obedient Rotom dialed the number.
Soon, the call was answered, and Naoki's face appeared on the screen.
He really appeared! Seeing Naoki on the screen, Giratina was utterly astonished.
On Naoki's end, after seeing Giratina's video call, he immediately realized that Giratina and the Rotom Phone were getting along quite well.
Thus, Naoki smiled and exchanged a few words before ending the call.
Giratina, on the other hand, became even more intrigued by the Rotom Phone.
It started giving commands to Rotom, asking it to open this app and that app.
Since Giratina couldn't read, Rotom had to spell out the words on the apps, introducing their functions and purposes one by one.
While Giratina was exploring the functions of the new phone, Naoki wasn't idle either.
He was checking the Pokemon Online Shopping app, planning to register a merchant account to officially start operating Dragonite Delivery.
With the Rotom Phones, the Dragonites could now deliver packages throughout the entire Pasio region.
Just then, the video phone at home rang.
Naoki answered it and saw Yeci's face on the screen.
"Long time no see, Naoki!" Yeci smiled.
"What's the matter, Chief Yeci?" Naoki was a little surprised. Why was Yeci calling him at this time?
But the next second, he saw Yeci holding up a Rotom Phone and waving it in front of the screen.
"You bought this new phone too? Let's add each other as friends?"
Naoki: "..."
A minute later, looking at Yeci's friend request on his phone, Naoki hesitated for a moment before finally accepting it.
Yeci was a straightforward person, and her profile picture was a close-up of herself, almost identical to the photo on her ID card.
Her username was equally direct - 【Yeci】.
At that moment, Yeci sent a message.
【Yeci: This makes things so much easier. From now on, if I want to find you, I don't have to worry about you not being at the ranch! :)
】
She even included a smiling emoji.
