Chapter 463 367 Is the Past and the Future

Chapter 463 367. The past and the future

Still in the ruins cave, just like at the beginning.

With a loud sound, a green light immediately appeared in the cave, illuminating the entire cave like daylight.

A huge vortex appeared in the void, and Pikachu and the Rockets were thrown out of it and fell heavily to the ground.

"Ah! Pikachu!!!"

Xiaozhi had been waiting, but he didn't expect to really come back.

After seeing Xiaozhi, Pikachu seemed extremely excited, with tears in his eyes.

"Pika...chu!"

Pikachu jumped up and threw himself into Xiaozhi's arms.

"Great, I thought I wouldn't see you again."

Xiaozhi hugged Pikachu and rubbed it for a while, and everyone was reluctant to stick to each other.

After sticking, Xiaozhi turned around angrily and prepared to teach the Rockets a lesson.

But...

When he saw the lonely look of Kojiro and Musashi, he was startled for no reason.

"What's wrong with you?"

It was quite strange, completely different from the Rocket Team that he saw every time, full of energy and eager to capture Pikachu and return to the boss to ask for credit.

Now Kojiro and Musashi who returned from the other world seemed too silent.

Pikachu stretched out his paw and gently patted Musashi and Kojiro's backs from behind, as if to comfort them.

"Meow meow..."

When Musashi and Kojiro thought of Meow Meow sacrificing himself for them in the end, they hugged each other and burst into tears.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?" Xiaozhi asked in confusion.

At the same time, Sato Reiko and Uesugi Noboru, who were sitting in front of the TV, also had a lonely expression on their faces.

Who would have thought that such a Meow Meow, who was the villain in the animation and also played the villain for 99% of the time in the game of Incredible Adventure, could do such a touching thing in the end.

If they were Musashi and Kojiro of Team Rocket, they would definitely not be able to bear it, because they would lose such a close partner who fought side by side from then on.

Although Meowth's ability is not very strong, it is really hard to imagine a life without Meowth.

"It's just a game, right?"

Sato Reiko's heart skipped a beat, and then she looked up at Uesugi Noboru, "The story in the game shouldn't affect the animation, right?"

"Yeah, it should be." Uesugi Noboru himself was not sure, but in order to comfort Reiko, he nodded seriously.

"You can regard what happened in the game as a story that happened in another parallel time and space, so even if Meowth has disappeared in the game, it should not be affected in the animation."

If the game interferes with the performance of the animation, Pokeni is too hateful.

Uesugi Noboru thought.

However, just when the two were immersed in endless sadness and nostalgia for Meow Meow, a cry suddenly appeared in the last animation on TV:

"Meow Meow."

Musashi and Kojiro were stunned and their necks were stiff.

"Did you hear Meow Meow's voice?"

"It's over, it's over, I also have hallucinations, is it because I just lost Meow Meow and miss it too much?!"

"What two idiots!"

At this moment, the image of Meow Meow really appeared behind them.

It raised its paws and put one on each of their shoulders.

"Ah! It turns out that it's not an illusion, it's real!"

Musashi and Kojiro rushed to Meow Meow and hugged it tightly.

"Oh... I can't breathe if you do this!!!"

"Someone come to save me!!!" Meow Meow shouted for help, but Xiaozhi and Pikachu next to him were extremely happy.

...

"Great!!!"

Sato Reiko and Uesugi Noboru were so excited that they held each other's hands and turned around in the room.

"Great, Meowth is back too!"

This ending was something they had not expected.

Originally, Uesugi Noboru and Sato Reiko had prepared for Meowth's sacrifice and thought it would never come back.

Unexpectedly, Pokeni gave them such a huge surprise in the end.

Perhaps this is the kindness of Lisa Asano, who thinks that Pokémon, as a game product for all ages and more for children, must give a perfect ending.

The world of children is quite simple and beautiful.

Justice must defeat evil, and good people should win in the end. No matter how tortuous the process is, beautiful things should be kept to the end.

Even grown-up adults must have the courage to yearn for beauty, the courage and strength to believe in justice.

This is what Pokémon: Mysterious Adventure wants to convey and bring to players.

…

The game is over here.

On the TV, the production list also appeared on the right.

However, unlike previous games made by Pokeni, the subtitles of Paradox this time feel a bit like the ending of a movie.

On the large screen on the left, static pictures appear.

First, through static pictures, one by one is shown what happened to Meow Meow in the other world after everyone left:

Meowth was once again lifted high by the barbarians and local Pokémon, becoming the patron saint of the world.

However, in the next picture:

Meow Meow was not living a happy life, even though he was well treated. Sitting on the throne, he always supported his chin with one paw and fell into endless melancholy.

Soon, Master Miao Miao made the most difficult but unhesitating decision in his life——

It wants to return to its own world.

To this end, Mew Mew summoned local Pokémon and barbarians, and everyone worked together to find a way home for him.

After countless efforts, they found a small energy crystal, and the door to time and space opened again.

Although it only takes the blink of an eye,

Miao Miao also took advantage of the situation and returned to the ruins cave.

After that, their own lives and evolutions continue in other worlds...

Just like the evolutionary history of humans, or the evolutionary history of humans and Pokémon.

From the very beginning, the barbarians wore animal skins and chased their prey with Pokémon.

Then gradually and slowly developed, humans and Pokémon coexisted peacefully, establishing deep friendships with each other, and they came together to use each other's wisdom and strength to slowly change the entire world.

The first primitive people, then to the agricultural era, and then to the feudal era...

The picture shows troops wearing helmets and armor riding horses to fight.

Pokémon were also mixed in, some became mounts, some were flying in the air, and some were running with humans.

…

The continuous advancement and evolution of time.

After modern civilization, new modern cities were built one after another.

But this time they were all made into patterns and engraved on the walls of the ruins cave.

At the end of the game, a number appeared in the mural:

The history of humans and Pokémon can be traced back a million years.

In the middle, in order to commemorate the great Meow who once protected the world, humans specially built a statue about Meow in the middle.

At the bottom of the statue, there are small pictures describing what happened here.

Among them, two humans wore strange clothes, and together with the Miao Miao God, they completed the seal of Yun Mama.

[Human beings are grateful to them. It is precisely because of the countless heroes who have appeared in the long history and defeated evil with justice time and time again that the civilization of humans and Pokémon can continue to this day. 】

[Master Meow Meow, thank you. 】

This last paragraph of text was added by a latecomer. I don’t know how many years ago it was. Perhaps it was passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation until it reached the present moment.

No one knows the specific content of the story, but the protagonist of the story has left his name.

This is also the pride of cats.

…

At this point, the game is all over.

The credits have also been played.

[Thank you for being with me until now. 】

This last sentence was spoken to the players in the tone of the Pokémon production team.

After watching the entire ending, Noboru Uesugi and Reiko Sato looked shocked.

"Wait, what just happened?" Noboru Uesugi blinked. He always felt that there was a lot of information, as if he had experienced a big explosion. His mind was still buzzing.

"! A million years ago?!!"

Sato Reiko was shocked.

After some discussion and sorting by the two people, they discovered——

It turns out that this is not the so-called different world.

But the real Pokémon world was just a million years ago, when humans and Pokémon had just established a relationship.

If there was no Pikachu, no Team Rocket coming,

There is no such thing as a so-called orthodox Pokémon battle.

…

Time is a closed loop!

What they save is their own world!

Wow!

So that’s it! ! !

The two children looked shocked, looked at each other, and then jumped up and down on the ground happily!

Very good!

It’s really a good experience, Pokémon Mystery Adventure! ! !

…

After the release of "Pokémon: Mysterious Adventures", a large wave of players quickly poured into the official Pokémon forum.

Among these people, there are children and many adults who have already worked. They have Internet access and can speak in forums. Most of them can afford computers or have relatively good family conditions.

Most of these people are adults.

"It's amazing. Pokeni created a story that seems simple, but full of twists and turns, and can still make people think at the end."

"Yes, yes, I have never had such a magical experience. At first, I thought this game was just a simple fairy tale.

After all, the plot structure of the game is quite simple if you analyze it carefully. Due to some chance and coincidence, a group of people entered the ruins cave.

And because Pikachu's one hundred thousand volts activated the mechanism in the ruins cave, causing space-time oscillations.

So a group of people went to another world.

Miao Miao was regarded as the god of this world, so everyone embarked on a thrilling journey home against each other.

It looks almost like a traditional fairy tale, with a very simple linear narrative structure.

Encounter a problem, solve the problem, what is happening now is to pave the way for the next task.

The same goes for the gameplay and maze construction.

However, we never expected that pokeni gave us a big surprise in the end——

Everything is happening in your imagination, but everything is completely different from what you thought.

All the foreshadowing has been laid, just waiting to be revealed when the time is right.

Later in the game, you will realize that Yunmama is the real villain, and although Miaomiao was confused and attracted in the process, he finally chose to stand with his friends. .

Defeat Yun Mama and return to the world where he belongs.

In fact, up to this point, the game still follows the standard template of Dragon Quest. Although there are twists and turns, twists and turns, and touching moments in the middle, this kind of narrative structure is actually quite common.

Justice will eventually defeat evil, and the brave must slay the dragon.

That's probably it.

But what really shocked me was the still picture on the left that appeared at the end of the subtitles.

Those pictures, one after another, tell the history of the development of this world.

It’s not until the end that you suddenly realize and discover the truth about the whole world——

It turns out that what they went to was not a different world, but the world a million years ago, a different time period in the same time and space.

Traveling back to 1 million years ago, starting a magical adventure, and all of this is just a [historical coincidence]

Let everything develop according to the established trajectory.

Only at this moment did I really understand the purpose of this game.

All I can say is that pokeni is really awesome.

Even if it is a game for children, it can be constructed with such a simple story, expressed in a fairy tale way, and give you a big surprise in the end, which is really amazing.

Through this game, I once again regained the courage to face reality and face life.

Life is like a cycle of time. Only when you look back will you find——

You are still the passionate young dragon-slaying boy.

This time, I'm going to pick up my sword again and fight!

Thanks pokeni!

Thanks to Pokémon: Mysterious Adventures! "

“The game is a closed time loop, but I’m also thinking about one thing:

In fact, pokeni's narrative structure is very clever.

Think about it from another perspective, if Pikachu and the others did not accidentally enter this cave and open the door of time to go back to the past a million years ago.

Will the world be different?

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that it will not be different.

Because if they had not gone back to the past, they would not have accidentally released Yun Mama.

Now that Yun Mama is sealed, even if they don't go a million years ago, nothing will change.

History will follow its inherent trajectory and form today's world.

However, they went to the past, released Yunmama, and finally sealed it back.

Just like what ancient Meowth did many years ago.

This is actually equivalent to a small closed loop to a certain extent. Pikachu and Team Rocket changed the past, but made up for their mistakes through their own efforts, thus eliminating the impact on history.

It probably makes sense from this perspective.

If this is the case, the adventure actually has another educational function, that is, you have to bear your own mistakes, and you have to make up for the mistakes you make.

In fact, it is a good growth for both us and the children.

Even if it is such a simple game that looks like a fairy tale, you can still find many profound truths in it. "

"Did you notice any special details?

In the game, the production team of Adventure actually made many metaphors and hints.

For example, the game starts in the ruins cave and ends in the ruins cave.

For another example, in the ruins caves, the murals on the walls, the patterns appearing in the circuit diagrams, and structures such as snakes eating their tails are actually a hint of circulation.

It is both the beginning and the end.

The ruins cave is the beginning of everything and the end of everything.

With such a design structure, you can hardly tell that pokeni's production team did not do it intentionally.

Moreover, I discovered an amazing fact during the game.

In Pokémon Adventures, there are three closed loops.

The first closed loop is its own small closed loop. Pikachu and Team Rocket released Yunmama, then discovered that it was a big bad guy, and locked it back into the cage at the bottom of the ruins cave, as if nothing had happened. Same.

The second closed loop is a time closed loop. Everyone traveled from now to a million years ago, then completed a series of tasks and adventures, and returned to the present.

This relatively large cycle is used to explain the development history and process of the world.

The final static image miniature is used to describe this closed loop.

The third closed loop is actually a bit scary.

Have you ever thought about this?

In a cave a million years ago, there was actually a prison that needed an electric system to operate, and in the subsequent exploration process of Pikachu and his friends, there were actually quite a few mechanisms and mazes driven by electricity.

In other words, a million years ago, there was already very advanced high technology that could be completed by electricity, wind power, and the power of various strange Pokémon.

The design of these mazes seems to be completely inconsistent with the IQ of the local barbarians.

It is impossible that they are products of the same era.

So, although the official has not made a clear explanation, I also have a very bold guess:

The third closed loop is a large space-time cycle.

In this game, they went to the Pokémon world a million years ago.

However, this Pokémon world a million years ago is very likely the future of the world they are in.

It may be a bit confusing to say, but if you can understand it in a circular way, it will be easy to get it.

First of all, the current world they are in will create a future with extraordinary technology in the future, and in this future, various high technologies are created, and new Pokémon are born, such as Yunmama.

The appearance of Yunmama, coupled with various new Pokémon, may have started a fierce war between them, leading to the destruction and decline of the earth's civilization.

Many years later, some high-tech products of mankind were preserved, but civilization was not continued, but returned to the primitive age.

Later, Yunmama was defeated by the ancient Meowth and sealed...

Then it was the story in the game.

History was once again pushed and evolved, and finally returned to the starting point of everything, that is, the time and space where Xiaozhi and his friends were.

If you think about it this way, then the third closed loop is a large closed loop that spans millions of years and connects the beginning and the end.

Adventure is the past and the future. "

"Wow, I heard the analysis above and got goose bumps all over my body!"

"It's terrifying to think about it! ! ! Maybe the official really set it up like this, otherwise there is no way to explain those high-tech products!"

"Terrible! I can't sleep well at night. Is this really a game for children? ! ”

There will be another chapter in the evening
