Pokémon, but there is a hunter app

"Don't worry, Charizard... Relax, we won't die, cheer up!"

It offered words of comfort during the fall and simultaneously began to activate the power of Eternal Light to heal its body.

"Ow!"

My stamina was replenished, and my body's strength also increased slightly.

Flying close to the waterfall, just before plunging into the pool, it suddenly soared higher, gliding through the vast, dark cave...

The waterfall plunges into a huge cave, and a ray of sunlight, shining from somewhere in the center of the cave, illuminates something resembling a magic circle.

"Roar!"

The intruder's arrival startled the Pokémon dwelling in the cave.

A Pokémon with blood-red wings crawled through the cave, roared at the sky, and then flew rapidly toward them.

"Ow!!"

It responded with a jet of flame, which prevented it from getting any closer before it landed on the ground.

Charizard placed Hua Ling on the ground and then charged towards Roaring Moon.

Watching the two still battling in the sky, and the roaring moons rising higher and higher below, Hua Ling's hunting desire surged like never before.

"That's awesome, hahaha~ Roaring Moon~ Garchomp~ Gible~ Deino and Deino~~"

Hunting in a place teeming with these Pokémon—am I really that happy?

She cupped her face, her body trembling slightly. After calming down, she took out a Salamence from her pocket.

"But...that's reality...I guess being a bad guy suits me better after all...ahhh~"

After releasing the Flying Dragon, Hua Ling's expression quickly returned to its gentle state, her fingertips tracing the ring on her wrist.

"Let's capture all our prey! Mega Evolve, Salamence, Charizard!"

"Ow!!"

"Roar!!"

Mega Salamence and Mega Charizard Y join the battle...

Amidst the continuous roars and the roaring flames, Hua Ling's gaze swept over the Pokémon on the ground, and soon her eyes lit up...

"What a pleasant surprise!"

There are many small groups of Pokémon here, such as a Two-Headed Raptor with a One-Headed Deino, and a Garchomp with a Gible.

However, there are also lone baby Pokémon.

Just now, Charizard's Flamethrower, used to stop Roaring Moon, accurately hit a certain unlucky little creature.

I picked up this big, round Pokémon.

A very large gible; while most gibles her age only reach her thighs, this one reached her shoulders...

"Little one, you're mine from now on~"

He took out a deluxe ball from his pocket, gently tapped it on the large little guy, and with a slight shake, successfully captured it.

The battle inside the cave had now ceased.

Two Mega Evolved Pokémon landed behind her, each carrying what they considered their most satisfying prey in their mouths, before tossing them together at her feet.

"You did a great job, darling~"

I threw Ultra Balls at the two Pokémon, successfully caught them, and then threw them into the Pokémon world.

Her gaze fell upon the small group of Pokémon trembling before her in the distance.

"These little guys are so pitiful staying here. I'm a very kind person and I can't stand seeing Pokémon with such expressions."

Hua Ling gazed at them with affection in her eyes, then waved and walked toward the other defeated Pokémon.

"...Defeat them all and bring them back."

"Hoohoo!!"

“Roar!!”

The two Pokémon brushed past her, each unleashing their own attack.

She reached the unconscious Pokémon and threw her Ultra Balls at them one by one, but then she stopped in her tracks...

This is a Roaring Moon, smaller than its kind, but its body is green, completely different from its kind.

"Huh, an oddly colored Roaring Moon? It looks small... What a pity~ I'll have to take a look at it sometime!"

Hua Ling felt a little regretful, but still took out a high-grade ball and threw it at the little guy.

It's likely a child from this group, but she wouldn't raise a Pokémon that left a bad impression on her.

For example, a Pokémon stolen from someone else, a Pokémon filled with malice and hatred towards you, or a Pokémon whose species you have captured.

They'd rather spend a world or two cultivating something than plant a landmine for themselves that might explode at the slightest chance.

"Da~ da da da da~ da da da da~~ I'm so happy today~~"

Hua Ling was in a very good mood, her hands behind her back, and she took light steps toward her two Pokémon.

The glasses she was wearing were from the mall; their purpose was to detect the range of the reaction device within her line of sight.

For example, laser alarms or surveillance cameras.

The battle was now completely over; the Ultra Balls had captured all the rare Pokémon that had been knocked down.

The two Pokémon have been restored to their basic forms.

"Great job! You guys are the best! Since that's the case, let's eat first!"

After preparing food for the Pokémon, Hualing released the Gible that she had just caught.

Looking at the round, large Pokémon reflecting a blue glow, her mood improved considerably.

"Wake up, little one! Time to eat!"

And outside

Before landing, Nemo and her group witnessed Hualing being attacked by a group of Pokémon and falling towards the waterfall, which immediately threw them into a state of panic.

Fortunately, Dr. Orin gave them advice when they arrived at the first observation station.

"If it's that waterfall you mentioned, then we need to be careful."

Located between the second and third observation stations, it is home to a very powerful Ancient Pokémon, Salamence in its Ancient Form, Roaring Moon.

"I won't object to you going to see her, but please prioritize your own safety."

Volume 1: Chapter 16 Gible

In order to find their missing companion Hua Ling, Nemo and her group unlocked the blockade of the observation station while heading towards the cave in front of the third observation station.

They reached the top of a river and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the figure below.

"It's bigger than I imagined... The hunting location has been decided. Should I take it with me? I only have one Beedrill on me outside."

Hua Ling was deep in thought as she looked at her enormous giblet.

When I crouch down, the other person is larger than me.

It just looks a bit silly to keep staring at yourself.

"Crack—"

The gible's memory ends with it arriving at a cave and just as it was about to find some fruit to eat, a strange creature fell down a waterfall.

Then it battled the strongest Pokémon in the cave. That Pokémon used Flamethrower, which the strongest one dodged but then accurately hit itself.

When it awoke again, it found itself being hugged by that strange creature, with a Pokémon as powerful as the cave leader following behind.

However, having lived in the giant pit since childhood, it didn't understand what taming meant; it only knew that it would have to follow this strange species.

Most importantly, meals are provided, and unlike rocks and tree fruits, they also offer a very special food that I've never eaten before.

"Click".

As it spoke, it felt hungry again, so the gible grabbed a rock from the side and stuffed it into its mouth, making crunching sounds.

"Wow, your teeth are really good! And your appetite is excellent too!"

Hua Ling stroked her chin, then took out a box of Pokémon food from her bag and poured it all into its mouth.

"Hua Ling! Are you alright?! Wow, what a huge gible shark!"

The group that had separated from her along the way also arrived at this time, and Nemo immediately came over to them.

"This is a Shiny Pokémon, and its size, its skin..."

"Wow, it looks like it's being trained very well. It'll definitely be very strong after it evolves!"

As he spoke, he touched his hand and felt the slight friction on it.

"It seems to be a characteristic of rough skin."

"Yes, indeed. This is the first time I've ever seen such a large gible. Just meeting this kid made the trip worthwhile."

Peony, standing behind, watched as the two of them, upon reuniting, immediately began discussing Pokémon, and both seemed to take it all for granted. This made her question her own understanding of the world once again.

"Am I out of touch? Shouldn't we be asking each other questions at this point? Why is everyone talking about Pokémon?"

Feeling a strange headache coming on, Peony pushed up her glasses and complained helplessly.

"Hmm... I guess it's because in their eyes, Pokémon are more important than themselves, sigh."

The one beside her made a reply, and upon hearing this, Hua Ling looked at the Gible in front of her.

Are Pokémon more important than yourself? That's definitely true...

A game is just a game; if you die, you can return to reality and create a new character.

If a Pokémon dies, it's truly dead. Even if you can train a new one, it won't be the same Pokémon.

But before the Pokémon of this world are materialized into real-world data, they are ultimately just a mass of data.

"Alright, Gible, come back first."

Hua Ling put the Pokémon back into its ball and looked back at the others.

"So, should we continue down the path?"

"Yes, Dr. Orin asked us to go to the deepest part of the research institute, saying she has something to ask of us."

"In that case, let's go full speed ahead!! Let's try to have dinner at the research institute! I found so many ingredients in the giant pit that we can't see from the outside!!"

Pipa clenched her fists and excitedly suggested that, in fact, she was more interested in seeing her mother's joy, but she just didn't want to say it out loud.

"Oh!"

The others responded happily, and Hua Ling joined in with them.

But she knew Piper was going to be disappointed; the real doctor was already dead...

What's below now is an AI.

After a short rest at the third observation station, everyone restored their Pokémon to their peak condition.

Then they headed towards the fourth observation station together, seeing all sorts of Pokémon along the way, but everyone tried their best not to disturb them in order to avoid battle.

Wings flap, tail roars, ironclad sand

Although I really wanted to collect them all, I decided against it for now, as I was joining them.

The fourth observation station revealed a messy room with huge claw marks visible on the walls, and walls dented from Pokémon attacks...

"What...what's going on here? It looks terrifying—"

Peony looked around the dirty room with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

Piper didn't speak, but a bad feeling crept into his heart.

"Leave the task of lifting the blockade to the four of them," Hua Ling said, standing by the small fence at the entrance of the observation station, looking at the large patches of crystals all around her.

There are many enormous rock pillars overhead; the other Goreton is probably on one of those pillars...
