Chapter 8 Kabukicho belongs to Pokémon

"This, this, this... I have traveled through time again?"

Hoshino grabbed the balcony handrail and looked down. The streets that were originally empty in the afternoon were now filled with neon lights and extremely lively!

People are coming and going... I should say Pokémon are coming and going. The whole street is full of Pokémon walking around and standing in front of stores to entertain customers!

There was a meerkat inspector who seemed to have finished his patrol work for the day, and he led a few meerkats who seemed to be new members. They walked and chatted on the street, introducing the surroundings and building a relationship between the seniors and juniors.

There were also people like Blazing Roaring Tiger who had just finished the arena competition, and his good brother Boomerang, who was arm-in-arm with each other. Both looked like they were drunk, strutting around in the middle of the street, constantly making weird laughs, making some Pokémon around them laugh.

Just avoid walking.

There are also Miss Skirt and Miss Goth who are just like good sisters. They are dressed like humans, holding hands, carrying bags, and happily shopping...

Such a scene is much more than that. If it were placed on a human being, it would be very normal, just like visiting a bustling night city, but if they were all Pokémon, it would be very strange!

Hoshino's hand holding on to the railing trembled slightly, and he subconsciously took a few steps back and returned to the house. He didn't know what expression to make. What he just saw was completely beyond the scope of his understanding.

"It must be the wrong way to open the door..."

He thought like this, then closed the door again, ignored the noise, waited for a few seconds, then opened the door again and looked down...

"Isn't this still the same?"

"I only...slept for six hours this time. Why does the whole world seem to have changed!"

Hoshino glanced at the time on his phone and said he couldn't understand it at all. It had only been a few hours... Could it be that some hidden copy had been opened?

He couldn't understand. He felt like he was the only human being left in the world now, and he couldn't understand what the Pokémon were saying.

But at this time, he looked down to the first floor and found that there seemed to be a mobile signboard with LED lights that was constantly flashing.

He couldn't see clearly what was written specifically from this angle, but his guess was that it said "Daidai Izakaya", and the Daidai King opened a shop on the first floor!

In order to find out what was happening on this street, he immediately went downstairs and ran towards the store.

"If you are opening a shop, then just ask the boss. After all, Slow King is just a Pokémon, and the real owner of the izakaya must be its trainer. After all, I am also the neighbor upstairs!"

As soon as he ran down the stairs, Hoshino was immediately noticed by some Pokémon on the street.

However, he did not notice it, nor did he notice that some of the Pokémon were staring at him with evil eyes. Instead, he continued to run towards the opened izakaya...

The interior style of the izakaya tends to be retro, and the floors and walls are also made of imitation wood structure.

On the left side, there are many long wooden tables and chairs arranged neatly. There are Haoli and tough natives who have just returned from the construction site. They are drinking happily, just like human behavior.

On the right side is a long bar, with a Slowpoke lying on it like a mascot, constantly looking at the sky and making "slow~" sounds.

There is a row of high stools placed below, but there are currently no guests sitting on them. At the same time, there are no other humans seen here. There is only a Slow King reading a newspaper behind the bar...

"???"

"Wait...could it be that..."

Just for a moment, Hoshino seemed to realize something. At the same time, King Dude also glanced over, still with the same expression full of wisdom.

"stay?"

"Forehead……"

Hoshino had no idea what to do next. He could only walk over and sit in front of the bar, nervously preparing to inquire about something.

"Just because?"

"that……"

He put his hands on the bar and looked at the wise Slow King in front of him. He hesitated to speak. After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "By the way... why are there Pokémon here? And why are they all the same as humans?"

Just the same, casually shopping, eating, drinking and chatting, why are you really such a stupid boss?"

Hoshino asked all the questions in his mind at once. As for whether the other party would answer, it was not important. He just wanted to find someone who could tell him what he had seen and heard in less than ten minutes.

But what he never expected was that King Slow suddenly turned away, skillfully took out a lollipop, tore open the package, held it in his mouth like a cigarette, and chewed it with great enjoyment.

After replenishing the sugar, it turned around, squinted its eyes, and its expression suddenly turned contemptuous. It tapped the bar counter rhythmically with its hand and said slowly: "What do you think this is? This is a good place."

Kabukicho...Kabukicho!"

"Kabukicho? What is Kabukicho! This is what the Pokémon world should have...eh?"

Just when Hoshino was complaining loudly after hearing this name, he suddenly realized something even more outrageous, and his expression instantly froze.

"King Dudu...has spoken!"

"It's telepathy, what a big fuss."

"Eh...oh, but in the afternoon..."

"I can only use telepathy to communicate with you humans. Why are you stupid guys unable to understand us at all? It's really troublesome."

"I'm so sorry for being so stupid..."

After subconsciously apologizing, Hoshino was stunned for a moment, then remembered that this was not the time to say this, and then shouted: "That's not right! What I want to ask is what exactly Kabukicho is!"

He felt like he was about to transform into one hundred thousand Jinchuuriki. As a self-proclaimed treasure expert, he was valuable, but the amount of knowledge in his brain was of no use here at all.

Fortunately, King Daidai answered this question after watching him for a while.

"The so-called Kabukicho is a city that never sleeps for Pokémon leisure and entertainment. Do you think we Pokémon are pets who only know how to fight and act cute every day? How naive!"

"Forehead……"

Hoshino has never thought of it this way. To him, Pokémon are just like humans, living creatures with emotions in this world.

King Slow continued: "Pokémon, whether they live in the wild, wander in the city, or have been tamed by human trainers... they will also be under pressure."

"Regarding some of the dissatisfaction and complaints that trainers have in their daily lives, such as not being able to play in battles, trainers being more doting on other newly conquered Pokémon, liking the new and hating the old, and gradually failing to keep up with the team in terms of strength, and being left in the backyard by maybe a few

We only see each other once every month or even every few years...etc."

"Who can guarantee that all trainers will care about each of their Pokémon? I have seen some humans who can't even remember how many Pokémon they have tamed. After these emotions and mentality appear,

What should I do if the Pokémon's inhibitions cannot be released?"

Hearing this, Hoshino seemed to suddenly understand. He squinted his eyes and spoke slowly: "Could it be..."

"That's right!"

King Slow nodded and continued: "This is the purpose of Haole Kabukicho. Here, Pokémon with good ideas can open a shop and do business, and other Pokémon can spend money or use items of equal value.

Come trade and enjoy, this is a paradise for Pokémon, a night city for Pokémon!"

"hiss--"

Hoshino took a breath, and his knowledge about Pokémon increased. In the past, because it was a game, he could only understand it from the setting and background.

But I didn't expect that Pokémon that really live in this world would have such a side, but there seemed to be some other problems.

"Wait a minute! In such a big Kabukicho, no other humans know about it? Or maybe some Pokémon don't tell their trainers?"

Hoshino was very surprised. Even if this place was disguised as a homeless neighborhood during the day, what about at night? It was so brightly lit that no one noticed it?

Hearing this, King Daidai suddenly laughed disdainfully, as if he had already known that he would ask this question.

"Because this is the territory of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kabukicho. All rights of interpretation belong to them. If you have any explanation that doesn't make sense, go to them!"

"???"
