Chapter 127 Pure White Ideals vs. Dark Reality
N's words were rather vague and ambiguous, and Azure couldn't process them for a moment, so she looked at the detective with pleading eyes.
Hugo noticed his assistant's confusion and couldn't help but chuckle: "N's statement is still too subtle. If you want to change the world, you have to make your words clear to everyone."
He turned towards the azure—
"What this king means is that no matter how friendly humans are to Pokémon, they still treat them as slaves. For example, I can put Chimchar back into its Poké Ball at will without caring about its feelings. The reason I can do this is because I have a Poké Ball that can restrain it. With the help of this oppressive tool, I have become the master of this Pokémon and established a master-pet relationship that is unequal from the start."
"The closer my relationship with Chimchar, the more hidden and solid this inequality becomes. In N's view, this twisted relationship is like a cake made of plaster, with a beautiful appearance covering a cruel core. The more fragrant cream is squeezed on top, the more people will be deceived."
This time, Azure understood completely. She opened her mouth to refute, but the words wouldn't come out.
Yes, humans can't really place Pokémon on the same level as themselves.
The girl considers the elves her friends, but Hugo and Douzi, Crimson and Green are also her friends. Can she put these humans into a small ball and carry them with her?
Of course not! Just thinking about that scenario is terrifying.
N's gaze towards the detective changed at this moment, filled with surprise and a hint of delight: "Detective Hugo, your views on the liberation of the elves are very insightful. Are you also a supporter of our ideals?"
The detective shrugged: "From birth until sometime three months ago, I never caught a single Pokémon. If this is what you call a utopia where humans and Pokémon coexist peacefully, then I've already experienced it. As a practitioner of the Pokémon liberation movement, I must regretfully answer you that I do not agree with your theories."
The green-haired youth frowned: "Why? You should know how cruel it is to trap Pokémon in a ball, shouldn't you? Can't you feel the pain of those Pokémon losing their freedom?"
“There is suffering everywhere in the world, Your Majesty. Your concern for the status of the elves is somewhat putting the cart before the horse,” Hugo said frankly.
"This Ms. Azure was severely criticized at a job fair this morning and felt quite down for a long time because her value as labor didn't meet the interviewer's expectations, leading to their sarcasm—this is the kind of inequality that can arise from a salary of just a few thousand dollars. Even if society is functioning well, the pain caused by inequality will continue to arise, but it will also gradually dissipate on its own. We must distinguish which aspects are tolerable, which must be addressed, and which should be handled with caution..."
"The inequality between Pokémon and humans must be addressed, otherwise, as time goes by, more and more humans will treat Pokémon as tools and servants," N said firmly.
“My thinking is different from yours. The way we treat Pokémon right now is already quite sophisticated. Brutally changing the structure of society will only breed disorder and chaos. At that time, the inequality you talk about will only increase.”
“No.” N’s eyes were crystal clear.
Only then, in front of the detective and his assistant, did he reveal for the first time the aura of a superior.
"When that time comes, I will become the king of this world. Like the heroes of Unova two thousand years ago, I will create a peaceful, fair, and tranquil world. There, humans and Pokémon will be able to bond without Poké Balls, all conflicts will be properly resolved by sages, I will teach people to respect and be kind, Pokémon will find happiness, and inequality will lose its breeding ground..."
Hugo opened his mouth as if to say something more, but when the topic turned to dreams, N had entered a state of frenzy, oblivious to the sounds around him—
"I embarked on this journey not only to liberate Pokémon but also to free humanity from the constraints of Poké Balls. Along the way, I've witnessed diverse landscapes and encountered all sorts of people. This has made me realize that I've always lived in a narrow world. This ideal, perhaps instilled by my father, hasn't changed with my growing experience; instead, it has become even stronger. My father was right. This world may not be filthy and sinful, but it's far from beautiful and peaceful. The explosion in Lishui City is a bloody example. To change all this, someone must stand up and confront the root of inequality..."
While N was engrossed in his ideal world, the detective shrugged at Azure and muttered something under his breath—
"That's why I'm unwilling to take the initiative to meet this person. Theoretical debates are pointless; no one can wake someone who's immersed in their own world. I can refute every word he says, but I can't refute him as a person. Of course, as for this N, I myself might be just as stubborn and difficult to deal with."
Azure nodded in deep agreement: "He was determined to liberate the elves for a noble reason, but completely disregarded the serious consequences that might result... No, he may have known the difficult road ahead, but he was confident in his abilities and was determined to try..."
"...If it weren't for the Plasma Group behind him, he would probably be a very good person," the girl concluded.
.
"Gentlemen, I hope you will withdraw from the investigation of this explosion."
After N finished his speech about his vision of a wonderful world, he returned to the main purpose of his trip. He once again requested that the detective and Azure withdraw from the investigation of the explosion.
Perhaps it was Hugo's words that convinced N of his detective skills, or perhaps it was because they had met and learned about each other's backgrounds. This time, the green-haired youth made no attempt to conceal anything and told Hugo all the information he knew.
“These past few days, I’ve visited the elves near the factory, and through my interactions with them, I’ve learned the truth about the explosion at the Liyong City power plant. This incident was not a simple accident, but rather an organized and premeditated collective crime.”
"Oh?" The detective looked up at his client. "It seems you have a lot of informants in this city."
N ignored the detective's sarcasm and continued, "Just as you discussed before, there were no police cars or fire trucks with sirens at the scene of the explosion. That's because the firefighters and police were already waiting next to the factory. When the explosion happened, they rushed into the factory and then carried the elves' bodies out of the factory."
Azure had already vaguely guessed what was going on, but the facts N revealed still shocked her: "Why would the police do this?"
"Because this explosion involved a complex network of interests among the energy companies in Liyong City, even the League and the police were implicated, and the Pokémon everywhere were fully aware of it—"
N said with a serious expression.
"The sheriff and capitalists met frequently, exchanging money and secrets; Alliance officials walked into the factory with grim faces and came out with satisfied expressions; and finally, an unprecedented explosion destroyed all the evidence... Did you know that, according to my subsequent calculations of the Liyong City power plant equipment, there was an enormous difference between the amount of electricity this factory could generate and the amount of electricity it had previously produced!"
