I'm the King Of Technology

What was this?

(°0°)

Ian blinked in awe as the Pokemon game theme song came up, as well as the digital image of Ash on one side, and another person on the other.

They looked as though they were about to fight each other or something.

But from the manga, he knew that they were probably about to have a Pokemon battle.

If Ian could say, he would probably describe the images to be similar to how the images on his calculator showed up... Except, the images were more vivid and well done than that.

Look! He could even see potted plants, a miniature Ash and several other cool features when the game started.

That's right. He started at the scene where Ash seemed to be in some reception room with another person seated on the couch close to the potted plants.

Ian's heart bursts with excitement as he quickly found himself immersed in the strange world of Pokemon.

And in no more than 3 minutes, he had already walked out into a field and was about to have his first Pokemon battle.

What?

A Wild Rattata appears?

Rattata! Rattata!

Ian quickly opened his bag and took out his Pokemon cards and his manga.

He hastily flipped through each card and saw the image of Rattata in colour.

Rattata's fur was bluish, with some fur parts like its mouth region, paws and belly being white.

It also had sharp beaver-like teeth at its front and long thick whiskers too.

Oh? So this was what Rattata looked like?

Ian knew that all Pokemons evolved. So he couldn't help wondering what Rattata's evolved stage would look like from this.

.

Ian gripped the card hard in fascination as he burned Rattata's image in his mind.

Pokemon cards were trendy in Baymard, as people even switched lunches and did favours to collect or exchange cards with their friends.

Some even battle out in the streets, and there were also several Pokemon board games too.

Ian quickly laid out his cards next to him because he had a feeling that he would need to look at them again going forward.

Thus, he placed his babies and collector cards by his side before focusing on his GameBoy again.

"Go! Pikachu! I choose you!!"

Pikachu appeared.

And up next, he had to choose the type of attack he wanted against Rattata.

He looked at all the attacks and fell into a dilemma.

Should he choose a Thunderbolt attack with a 30/30 electric shock?

Or should he just choose a Quick attack with a 30/30 normal hit range?

Looking at Rattata was at level 6, while Pikachu was at Level 19.

So a simple Quick Hit from Pikachu should knock it down immediately, right?

Ian pursed his lips deeply before finally choosing a quick attack.

Hopefully, he was right.

[Quick attack!]

~Pah!

A fierce sound echoed out of his game amidst the music, and before his eyes, Rattata's HP of 16 fell so low to zero.

[CRITICAL HIT!

Enemy Rattata fainted.

Pikachu gained 29 EXP. Points.]

Hahahhahahahahah!

Ian laughed excitedly while tapping his feet and shaking on the floor like crazy.

That's right.

He was still seated on the floor around the charging outlets on the wall of his apartment.

He was so excited that he didn't feel the knocking discomfort from sitting on the floor for too long.

At the moment, his buttocks were pleading for mercy. But what did he care?

Ian's entire mind was focused on Pokemon!

But he wasn't the only one.

All over Baymard, countless people were now on their Gameboys and Gamegirls, as they too couldn't wait for the 8 hour charge period.

What a joke!

Wasn't that the same as torture?

[All tortured victims around the world]: "_"

Everyone sat by their charging plugs and loaded several games on them.

From Pokemon, Final Fantasy, Dr. Mario, Kirby's DreamLand and Tetris, everyone's fingers went to work, as they excitedly found themselves drawn to the games!

.

"Hahahahaha! I just beat a wild Sandshrew!"

"No! No! No!!... Why did I choose a quick attack when my level is lower? Dammit! I should've gone full out on Charmeleon. Ahhh!!~ I'm such an idiot!"

"Hey! I think Pokemon is the best of all!"

"No way! It's obviously Kirby's Dreamland that's the best. From the scenic background to even his adventures and eating sprees. Plus, its music notes are more pleasant and upbeat. So it's clearly the best of them all!"

"Heh. An amateur's mistake. Obviously, Final Fantasy is the best. The action, the battles, and even the background gets a full 12/10 when compared to the rest."

"No way! I beg to differ. Tetris might look simple since it's more of placing falling shapes on the screen properly. But do you know how hard it is? When you stack the shoes incorrectly, and they touch the top of the screen, then it's game over. And after every level, it just gets harder and harder, with shapes falling faster and even the music speed up, making me panic. F***! That music makes me rush instead. For sure, it's all a trap!"

"For one, I have to agree with you. Since Tetris seems similar to Doctor Mario. The difference is that in Doctor Mario, you're starting up pills instead. For this game, I had to use all my focus and concentration, so much so that I haven't even eaten yet. Wait! ... Stay on the line. I'll add Jennie to our call. She's trying to call me too!"

"_"

Like so, countless people used their phones to call one another, talking about their many experiences with these new games.

Some spoke while playing, while others only spoke after their hunger had forced them to look away from their games.

Others, who had errands to run or plans later in the day, enthusiastically met up with their friends and chatted about their experiences.

Some also went to cafes or open spaces to bring out their Pokemon cards, talk about matters more and even exchange information on how to beat the levels they had passed.

Yes. Some people were gaming geniuses with them already going so far ahead, while some were still in level 1 or 2.

But all in all, everyone's heart bubbles with ecstasy as they now realized that the Gameboys and Gamegirls were all and everything they thought it to be.

Countless waves of emotions rippled their hearts as they held their games like treasures.

Hahahahahahhaha!

As expected, no product from his Majesty Landon could disappoint them.

Of course at the same time, the system's words echoed in Landon's mind.
