It's still in the ruins of the cavern, just like it was at the beginning.

With a loud sound, a turquoise light immediately appeared in the cave, illuminating the entire cave as if it were day.

A huge vortex appeared in the void, and the duo of Pikachu and Team Rocket was thrown out of it and slammed to the ground.

"Ahh Pikachu!!! ”

Ash waited for a long time, not expecting to actually return.

After meeting Ash, Pikachu looked unusually excited, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

"Pickup...... Hill! ”

Pikachu jumped to his feet and threw himself into Ash's arms.

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

Ash hugged Pikachu Rua for a while, and everyone reluctantly stuck with each other.

After posting it, Ash turned back angrily, ready to teach Team Rocket a lesson.

But......

When he saw the appearance of Kojiro and Musashi Luomo, he was stunned for no reason.

"You ...... What's wrong? ”

It's weird, it's completely different from the energetic Team Rocket he sees every time, bent on capturing Pikachu and returning to the boss to ask for credit.

Now Kojiro and Musashi, who have returned from another world, seem too silent.

Pikachu stretched out his paws and gently patted Musashi and Kojiro on the back from behind, as if comforting them.

"Meow Meow ......"

At the thought of Meow Meow finally sacrificing herself for them, Musashi and Kojiro hugged each other and cried.

"What's going on? What kind of nerves do you have? Ash asked, confused.

At the same time, Reiko Sato and Noboru Uesugi, 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 was the villain in the animation, and he also served as the villain for 99% of the time in the game of the incredible adventure, and finally could do such a touching thing.

If they were Musashi and Kojiro of Team Rocket, they would definitely not be able to stand it, and they would have lost such a close partner who fought side by side from now on.

Although Meowmeow's ability is not very strong, it is really hard to imagine the days without Meowmeow.

"It's just a game, right?"

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

"Uh-huh, it should be."

Uesugi himself wasn't sure, but in order to comfort Reiko, he nodded earnestly.

"You can think of what happens in the game as a story that happens in another parallel time and space, so even if Meowth has disappeared in the game, it shouldn't be affected in the cartoon."

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

Uesugi thought to himself.

However, just when the two of them fell into endless sadness and nostalgia for Meow, in the final animation of the TV, a cry suddenly appeared:

"Meow meow."

Musashi and Kojiro were stunned, and their necks stiffened.

"Did you hear a meow?"

"It's over, it's over, I'm hallucinating too.,Is it because I just lost Meow Meow.,Hallucination caused by missing too much?!"

"What two idiots!"

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

It raised its paws, one by one, and put them on their shoulders.

"Ahh It turns out that it's not a hallucination, it's real! ”

Musashi and Kojiro pounced on Meow and hugged it tightly.

"Oops...... I'm going to be out of breath like this!! ”

"Who's going to save me!!" Meowth shouted for help, while Ash and Pikachu on the side were unusually happy to see it.

……

"Great!!"

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

"Great, Meowth Meow is back too!"

This ending was something they didn't expect.

Originally, Uesugi and Reiko Sato were mentally prepared for Meowmeow's sacrifice, thinking that it would not come back.

I didn't expect that in the end, Pokeni gave them such a huge surprise.

This may be the kindness of Lisa Asano, who feels that Pokémon, as an all-age-oriented and more child-oriented game product, must be given a perfect ending.

The world of children is quite simple and beautiful.

Justice should triumph over evil, and good people should win in the end, no matter how tortuous the process is, good things should be kept until the end.

Even adults who grow up must have the courage and strength to yearn for beauty and believe in justice.

That's what Pokémon: Incredible Adventures wants to convey and bring to players.

……

This is the end of the game.

On the TV, the list of credits also appears on the right.

However, unlike previous games made by pokeni, this time the subtitles of P Company are a bit like the end of a movie.

On the large screen on the left, there are static pictures.

First, through the static picture, it shows what happened to Meow Meow in the other world after everyone left:

Meowth was once again held high by the barbarians and local Pokémon and became the patron saint of this world.

However, in the next picture:

Meow Meow was not happy, although he was well treated, sitting on the throne of the god, he always supported his chin with one paw, and fell into endless melancholy.

Soon, the god of meow made the most difficult but unhesitating great decision in his life-

It wants to return to the world in which it belongs.

To this end, the meowth god gathers the local Pokémon and barbarians, and everyone works together to find a way home for it.

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

Although there is only so much time between the blinks of an eye,

Meow Meow also returned to the ruins cave from the inside.

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

It's 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, humans and Pokémon coexist peacefully, build deep friendships with each other, and they come together to use each other's wisdom and power to slowly change the whole world.

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

The picture shows an army wearing helmets and armor on horseback to fight.

Pokémon are also mixed in, some have become mounts, some are flying in the air, and some are running with humans.

……

Time is constantly advancing and evolving.

After the arrival of modern civilization, new modern cities were built.

This time, they were all patterned and engraved on the walls of the cave of the ruins.

At the end of the game, a number appears 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 meow who once protected this world, human beings specially built a statue about meow in the middle.

At the bottom of the statue, there are small pictures that tell the story of what happened here in those years.

Among them, two humans dressed in strange clothes were with the god Meow Meow and completed the seal on Yun Mama.

[Human beings thank them, it is in the long history that countless heroes have appeared, and justice has defeated evil again and again, and the civilization of humans and Pokémon has been able to continue to the present. 】

[Meow meow god, thank you. 】

The last paragraph of the text was added by a latecomer, and it has been many years since then, perhaps it has been passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation.

The exact content of the story is unknown, but the protagonist of the story has left his name behind.

This is also the pride of meows.

……

At this point, the game is all over.

The cast has also been played.

[Thank you for being with me until now.] 】

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

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

"Wait, what just happened?" Uesugi blinked, always feeling that there was a lot of information, as if he had experienced a big bang, and his brain was still buzzing.

“！ A million years ago?!! ”

Reiko Sato's whole person was shocked.

After some discussion and sorting by the two people, they found out -

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

It's the real Pokémon world, just a million years ago, when the connection between humans and Pokémon was just established.

Without Pikachu, without Team Rocket their arrival,

There is no so-called orthodox Pokémon battle.

……

Time is a closed loop!

They are saving the world they once were!

Wow!

I see!!

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

That's great!

It's really a good experience, Pokémon Incredible Adventure!!

……

After the release of "Pokémon: Incredible Adventure", a large number of players soon poured in on the official forums of Pokémon.

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

And most of these people are adults.

"It's amazing that Pokeni has created a story that looks simple, but is full of reversals that still provoke people to think at the end."

"yes, yes, I've never had such an amazing experience. At first, I thought the game was just a simple fairy tale.

After all, the plot structure of the game, it's quite simple to analyze it carefully, and a group of people entered the ruins cave because of some coincidence.

And because of Pikachu's 100,000 volts, the mechanism in the ruins cave was activated, which caused a space-time shock.

So a group of people went to another world.

And Meow Meow is regarded as the god of this world, so everyone embarks on a thrilling trip home against each other.

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

When you encounter a problem, solve it, what is happening in the present is a foreshadowing for the next task.

Including the gameplay and maze construction is also like this.

However, I never expected that in the end, Pokeni gave us a big surprise -

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

All the foreshadowing has been buried, just waiting to be uncovered when the time comes.

When you play later, you will find out that Yun Mama is the real villain, and although Meow Meow has been confused in the process, he will also be attracted, but in the end he still chose to stand with his friends.

Defeat Yun Mama and return to the world to which you belong.

In fact, up to this point, the game is still based on the standard template of Dragon Quest, although there are twists and turns along the way, twists and turns, and touching places, but this kind of narrative structure is actually quite common.

Good will eventually triumph over evil, and the brave will inevitably slaughter the dragon.

Probably so.

But what really shocked me was the static picture on the left that appeared in the final subtitles.

Those pictures tell the history of the development of this world.

It will not be until the end that you suddenly realize the truth of the whole world -

It turned out that they were not going to another world, but this world a million years ago, in different time periods in the same time and space.

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

Let everything follow the established trajectory.

It was only at this moment that I really understood the intent of the game.

It can only be said that pokeni is really awesome.

Even if it is a game for children, it can be expressed in such a simple story structure and in the way of fairy tales, and it can 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 time loop, if you look back at it, you will find -

You're still the hot-blooded dragon slayer.

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

Thanks pokeni!

Thanks Pokémon: Incredible Adventure! ”

"The game is a closed loop of time, but I was also thinking about one thing:

In fact, this narrative structure of Pokeni is very ingenious.

On the other hand, if Pikachu hadn't stumbled into this cave and opened the door of time to go back a million years ago.

Could the world have changed?

Actually, if you think about it, you will see that it doesn't become any different.

Because if they hadn't gone back in time, then they wouldn't have released Yun Mama by mistake.

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

History will follow its inherent trajectory and then form the world it is today.

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

It's like what Ancient Meowth did many years ago.

In fact, this is actually a small closed loop in a way, where Pikachu and Team Rocket change the past, but through their own efforts to make up for their mistakes, thus eliminating the impact on history.

It probably makes sense from this point of view.

If this is the case, in fact, the adventure has another educational effect, that is, you have to bear your own mistakes, and you have to smooth out the mistakes you have made.

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

Even if it's a simple fairytale-like game, you can still find a lot of profound truths in it. ”

"Did you notice any special details?

In the game, in fact, the production team of Big Adventure used many metaphors and hints.

For example, the game starts in the Ruined Cave and ends in the Ruined Cave.

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

It's both the beginning and the end.

The Cave of Relic is the beginning of it all, and at the same time the end of it all.

With such a design structure, it's hard to say that Pokeni's production team didn't mean it.

And, in the middle of the game, I discovered an amazing fact.

In Pokémon Adventure, there are three closed loops.

The first loop is its own small loop, where Pikachu and Team Rocket release Yun Mama, then discover that it's a big bad guy and put him back in a cage at the bottom of the ruins cavern as if nothing had happened.

The second closed loop is the closed loop of time, where everyone travels from the present to a million years ago, and then completes a series of missions and adventures, and returns to the present.

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

The final static diagram is used to describe this closed loop.

And the third closed loop is actually a bit scary.

Have you ever thought about such a thing?

In caves a million years ago, there were prisons that required an electrical system to function, and in the course of Pikachu's subsequent expeditions, there were many electrically powered traps and labyrinths.

That is, a million years ago, there was already very advanced high technology that could be done with electricity, wind power, and the power of all kinds of strange Pokémon.

The design of these labyrinths does not seem to match the IQ of the local barbarians.

It simply cannot be a product of the same era.

So, although there is no official clear statement, I also have a very bold conjecture:

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

In this game, they go to the world of Pokémon from a million years ago.

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

It may be a bit winding to say, but if you can understand it in terms of rings, it's easy to get.

First of all, the world they are in now, going backwards, will create a future with extraordinary technology, and in this future, all kinds of high-tech will be created, and new Pokémon will be born, such as Yun Mama.

The appearance of Yun Mama, coupled with various new types of Pokémon, may have started a fierce war with each other, leading to the destruction and decline of the earth's civilization.

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

Later, Yun Mama was defeated by the Ancient Meowth and sealed up......

After that, it's time for the in-game story.

History was once again pushed, evolved, and finally returned to the beginning of everything, that is, the time and space where Ash and the others 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 from end to end

Adventure is the past and the future. ”

"Wow, I heard the analysis upstairs, and goosebumps all over my body rose!"

"It's scary to think about it!! I don't know if the official is really set up like this, otherwise I can't explain those high-tech products! ”

"Terrible! I can't sleep well at night, is this really a game for kids?! ”
