Pokémon: Hoenn Storm

Chapter 65 About "The Call of the Sea" - written at the end of the volume

When I first started writing this book, several readers asked me: What is ability?When will you leave Novice Village?How to form a team?

In fact, I have never been able to directly answer such questions, because they are the presentation of many propositions to be discussed in this volume.

In the previous book review section, I briefly mentioned some basic writing ideas, which revolve around a more important concept: what is a hero and where do heroes come from.

At the beginning of this volume, we can see that the protagonist Lai is a person who knows a lot of things, but is unwilling to try to change anything. This is determined by his rational cognition and also comes from an unknown about the new world. of fear.

This fear prevents the two souls from being perfectly integrated, but becomes "the shelving and burying of differences."

This is very important to this volume because it is an important initial aspect of Len's character: when faced with a problem that cannot be solved, he is put aside.

But is this enough?Obviously not enough, because behind the rational judgment, this person also has an emotional and impulsive side. Driven by this impulse, he will do some less rational and seemingly heroic things, and then be "defeated" Considered a hero."

This troubled him, but not with this view of the outside world, but with his own inner contradictions.

Both Naqi and Huayue noticed this contradiction, but their focus was very different. In the end, neither played a central role, but became a "partial thrust" for change.

In other words, what this volume or this book wants to present is directly related to the above content, that is, "complexity".

The world is never one-dimensional, but diverse, mixed, and integrated.

The same is true for people, and we even have to add a word.

So, how does such a complex person grow up?

The answer is simple, face the problems, face the true self, and then accept him and accept them.

When a person does this, he will change from a passive recipient, someone pushed by the gears of history, to an active pioneer, someone who pushes the gears of history forward.

But are the two separate?totally not.

Because a hero is a person who is first shaped by the times and then shapes a new era.

In the short 10,000+ words, in order to present these contents, many stories have been more or less reduced in length, and even some plots have been deleted from the entire paragraph. I have to say that it makes me feel a little sad, but it is also necessary. After all, I was asked more than once, "When will I be released from Novice Village?"

In the subsequent plot, Lai, who has taken the "first step in a realistic sense", will have more stories of his own, and will go to more unknown distances, contact more people, and usher in his own epic.

As for some specific settings that have not yet been announced, please allow me to retain a sense of mystery, and speculation is welcome.

As for questions that everyone may be concerned about, such as "What level is a gym leader and what level is a king?", we can only say that level is a necessary condition for strength, but it is not a sufficient condition.

So, dear readers, "The Call of the Sea" ends here. The new volume is called "The Waves in the Sea". I hope you all like it.

Compared with the intensive conflict in this volume, more attention will be paid to the extension of details and the presentation of the story later on, which will probably bring some different experiences.

Thank you so much for the long-winded words I have said.

Although the previous signing did not go through, I will try to present such a story as much as possible.

I would be honored if I could get your support.
