What made Alex laugh was that not only was the boy Riku swimming happily, but a golden Magikarp was swimming happily next to him, circling around Riku.
This golden Magikarp was the Shiny Magikarp that Alex had seen, the first Shiny Pokemon to be captured.
Alex thought that since he had found a Shiny Pokemon, Riku would train the Magikarp to the maximum so that it could evolve into a powerful and rare Red Gyarados.
Especially considering that Shiny Pokemon are slightly more powerful than normal Pokemon, which would make the Red Gyarados slightly more powerful than the already powerful Normal Gyarados.
But Alex had forgotten that these people didn't even know that Pokemon only had one color, and that Shiny Pokemon were very rare.
When they learned about Pokemon today, they might have thought that a Shiny Pokemon was just like a dog with a different color, it was different because of its parents, and that was all.
But when Alex saw Riku swimming happily next to his golden Magikarp, he just smiled and let it go.
Riku was only 6 years old, a child who had just started ninja school, this child who would probably lose a large part of his childhood to training to become an assassin deserved to have happy, relaxing moments like this, where he could just swim happily alongside his new friend.
The funniest part of this situation for Alex was that Riku, being only a 6-year-old kid, didn't really understand the benefits of paying the Pokemon Alliance monthly fee, and maybe didn't even have the money to pay it, so he just used the one Pokeball he got for free while playing and captured a Magikarp.
In a situation like this, Alex didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Riku's luck.
Now, he would have to spend a few Pokedollars to buy another Pokeball to catch a Pokemon that would really help him in battle.
Alex stopped paying attention to Riku and continued to watch the Uzumaki playing, enjoying the adventures they were having.
Seeing how much fun they were having, he also felt that it would be nice to start his journey.
Especially since he knew how much fun this world he was making was, how random many things were, which would make the game fun even for him who was making it, because it would also be very challenging, because the game was difficult, and if he didn't use the admin commands, growing up to the Indigo League would be difficult, but fun.
So he decided to start in Pallet as a normal coach and experience it with the players.
"I think the only thing I'll have to change with the Admin Commands is that I want my starting Pokemon to be a Shiny, mainly because of its latest evolution..." Alex thought as he set up Professor Oak to give him the Pokemon he wanted.
As Alex prepared to begin his adventure, guests arrived at the Uzumaki village.
Although Pokemon had been released at the lookout points around the village, and the Ninjas in charge of guarding the village were eager to play, they knew that their responsibility to keep the village safe was more important, so they were content to look at the photos their friends had posted on the forum with the Pokemon they had caught, and chatted excitedly about which Pokemon they would choose when they got home.
"I'm going to get a Squirtle, have you seen this? Its evolution is a big fighting turtle! How badass is that?!" One of the Ninjas said excitedly, showing off a photo that a player had taken of a Blastoise walking down the street next to a trainer in a town.
"Look how cute that Bulbasaur is! Those vines it can control must be very useful, imagine if you had a Bulbasaur and it used those vines to help you train! I'll choose a Bulbasaur!" Another Ninja said excitedly, listening to his friend's argument and looking around for anything suspicious.
"You're wrong, the best starter Pokemon is Charmander, because..." But before the Ninja could continue, he saw three names appear on the scroll in front of him!
This scroll was the one that warned when someone broke through the village's protective barrier, and just as it had warned when Alex appeared out of nowhere, it now warned that 3 people had broken through their barrier and were heading for the village!
These people were a team of three ninjas, two men and one woman.
"Intruders have arrived, let's check them out." The ninja became serious and ran in the direction indicated by the parchment.
His companions also stopped arguing about Pokemon and went with him, ready to fight if necessary.
As they approached, they saw the three ninja who had arrived at his village.
These ninja were wearing bandanas with the Konoha symbol on their foreheads, which caused their caution to subside a little, but not completely.
"Identify yourselves." The Uzumaki leader said in a serious voice as he stopped in front of the Konoha ninjas.
Nodding his head, the leader of the Konoha team spoke. "I am Ren Sarutobi, Konoha's representative on this journey to discuss an important and confidential matter with the Uzukage on behalf of the Hokage."
As soon as Ren Sarutobi said this, he handed over a document proving their identity, which made the Uzumaki leader nod and allow them to enter the village, but to make sure nothing went wrong, Takumi Uzumaki, one of his subordinates, would accompany the group.
Since Ren accepted this, since it was normal for a ninja to travel to another village, he didn't object and they entered the village.
But when Ren and the other Konoha ninja entered the village, they were confused and suspicious when they realized that the village was completely silent.
Even though it was night, it was normal for people to stroll through the streets resting after work.
But as much as he looked around the village, he couldn't hear anything, no footsteps, no conversations, everything was completely quiet, as if there was no one in the village.
To satisfy his curiosity, Ren looked into an open shop and actually saw a person sitting behind the counter, but instead of being attentive to the customers, this person was sleeping in a chair.
Unable to resist his curiosity, Ren asked.
"What happened? Why is the village so quiet, with people sleeping everywhere?"
Hearing Ren's question, Takumi Uzumaki thought for a moment and realized that something like this could not be completely hidden, especially from Konoha who was considered their ally, and even if he tried to hide it, it would raise even more doubts, so he gave a simpler explanation.
"Today is the start of a new game, everyone is playing it." Takumi explained.
But this explanation made Ren even more confused. "How is that possible, these people are clearly not sleeping?" Ren pointed to a person sleeping in a shop.
Shaking his head, Takumi denied it. "They're not sleeping, if you look closely, they're holding devices like this." He said while taking his cell phone out of his pocket. "This device is a cell phone, and it's with this cell phone that people are playing the new game."
This explanation didn't help Ren's doubts, but it raised more questions, so Takumi, seeing that he wanted to ask more, found a solution.
"It's not very appropriate for me to explain this, ask the patriarch when we get to him."
With this explanation, Ren decided to be patient and wait to ask the Uzumaki patriarch.
