Chapter 1466 Do you have to use such a vulgar way of putting it?
No problem. That's how copyright works. Without copyright, you can't do anything. What can you do if someone doesn't give you copyright?
Qianlin had already thought it through. If Sabrina really didn't give him authorization, then he could only ask the Summer League to change the Goldenrod City Gym Leader when making the game. The Team Rocket executives couldn't directly say it was Sabrina, so they could only put a mask on the NPC and cut ties with Sabrina.
It doesn't matter. Those who need to know these things already know, and those who don't know these things still don't know, so it doesn't affect anything.
Now everyone has their licenses. It would be best if we could get Sabrina's, but if we can't, it won't affect the game's production.
It's that simple.
"That's why Boss Sakaki wasn't worried about this. It's not a big deal," Chibayashi said straightforwardly.
After hearing Chizuru's explanation, Naz was completely dumbfounded.
The reason was so normal that she felt it was somewhat abnormal.
“You…you all…” Naz looked at Qianlin, her eyes filled with confusion, “You…I…”
Chihaya understood Sabrina's shock and said frankly while drinking tea, "That's why I'm drinking tea here and not worried about you at all. What happens next has nothing to do with me. Irene is in a meeting with the Yanxia Alliance on their behalf. After the gym test, I'm back to being disliked. So, I can only find a place to drink tea."
He's not making this show of things because Naz is coming; he's just looking for a place to have some tea since he has nothing else to do.
After saying that, Qianlin looked at Nazi with a grin: "Are you still going to kill me?"
Sabrina sat there, utterly listless: "Why would I kill you now?"
I thought Chihaya was going to expose her past, which is why I rushed over from Padilla, abandoning the filming altogether and having Alakazam Mega Evolve and use Teleport to bring her here. I even asked Team Rocket to bring back the three legendary birds.
Even if we can't kill Qianlin, we have to let him know how serious the consequences are of offending a superpowered person.
Natsumi had even prepared herself to secretly cause trouble for the Summer Alliance using her superpowers, but after only one minute of meeting Chizuru, her confidence completely vanished.
Thinking of this, she slumped onto the recliner, staring blankly at the starry sky just like Qianlin had before.
Qianlin smiled at her, picked up the teapot and filled the cup with water: "But to be honest, I still really want to get your authorization. You are the true first generation, the one who is the Gym Leader of Team Rocket and Saffron City."
Naza turned to look at Chizuru, her eyes seemingly reflecting the entire starry sky: "I don't want to go back to the past."
“No one is asking you to go back in time.” Qianlin shook his head and lay down on the recliner.
"I don't want to think about where you got this information about our past, but Chilin, I was once a high-ranking member of Team Rocket. I wouldn't call myself a complete villain... but I was definitely not a good person either." Sabrina sat up, took out the three Poké Balls hanging from her waist, and looked at them with a complicated expression.
Chilin looked at Nazi but didn't say anything.
Sabrina held three Poké Balls: "You ask me if I regret it, I don't know, but without the me of the past, there would be no me now, I won't deny that... but, I don't want to go back to the past."
"I don't want to... go back to the past when no one stood by me, do you understand?"
She looked at Qianlin intently.
Qianlin chuckled: "I get it. You're afraid your fans will stop supporting you if they find out you used to be a Rockets executive, right?"
Sabrina's hand holding the Poké Ball trembled: "Do you have to put it in such a... corny way?"
"Then what do you mean by 'remarkable'?" Qianlin rolled her eyes. "This is the truth. You've said so much, gone around in circles, but isn't the core idea just that you're afraid of losing fans? Or is there some other meaning behind it?"
Naza opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
After a long while, she closed her eyes in anguish... because she couldn't refute it.
Why does something that's supposed to be serious suddenly feel so low after this guy brings it up?
"Eh!" A lightbulb went off in Qianlin's head. "Saria, are you saying that because too few people know you're a Team Rocket executive, you're afraid more people will find out, which is why you haven't given me authorization? If enough people knew, would you give me authorization?"
Nazi: "???"
What is your brain circuit?
"Is there a problem?" Qianlin asked.
Naza was stunned: "It seems... there's no problem."
What she was most worried about was the exposure of her identity as a Rockets executive. After that, her past actions would definitely be found by fans with a magnifying glass, and her current life would be over.
She wasn't worried about losing her fame if she went back to the way things were before, but rather that she would return to the state she once was, like a rat in the street.
She doesn't care about fame. To say something that might infuriate other celebrities, she didn't achieve her current status because her fans want her to keep moving forward, and that's why she responds to their wishes.
The choice made by the spoon of fate is always the best.
"Hmm...would you mind being a star in another world?" Qianlin smiled, her eyes crinkling.
Naz: "...You don't mean you want me to become a star in the heat of summer, do you?"
“Yes.” Qianlin nodded. “And it’s not about making you give up on your Pokémon World fans. Your work in Yanxia will still be sent back to Pokémon World. However, you won’t be able to see the comments from Pokémon World fans at this time. If my game causes your Pokémon World fans to unfollow you, then Yanxia will become your strongest support.”
"And if not, then congratulations, you are still the brightest new star in the Pokémon world." Qianlin stretched out his right hand, his smile gentle, and held the silver-white drone that shimmered with golden light in his palm. "At the same time, you are also the brightest star on Earth."
The drone's camera showed only black; those familiar with Qianlin Live know that a drone without a flashing red dot is not broadcasting.
Sabrina looked at the drone in his palm, her eyes dimming: "Escape?"
She understood what Qianlin meant; wasn't this just escapism?
She escaped from one world to another. If her Team Rocket identity was exposed and the people of the Pokémon world began to hate her, she wouldn't be able to see it in the sweltering summer. If her Team Rocket identity was exposed and the people of the Pokémon world didn't hate her, she would still be the shining new star she is now.
To put it bluntly, they are fans who have given up on the Pokémon world.
"I can't do it." Naza looked at Chizuru with unwavering determination. "I! Can't do it!"
She couldn't bring herself to abandon her current friends or those who supported her.
"Why?" Qianlin tilted his head. "If you're just afraid of going back to the past, you don't have to worry at all in Yanxia. With my support and the Alliance's support, the people of Yanxia will trust you completely, just like they do now."
"And you're talking about running away?" Qianlin shrugged. "You're unwilling to face the Rockets of the past, isn't that also running away?"
Naz remained silent.
After a moment, she raised her head again: "Yes... but it's different."
Where is it different?
She didn't know, but it was just different.
“So, I refuse.” Sabrina stood up, retrieved the three Poké Balls, and turned to walk back the way she came. “Since you’re not planning to include me in the game without authorization, I’m going back to filming.”
Qianlin watched Nazi's retreating figure and smiled softly, "Nazi, are you afraid of betrayal?"
Not only are they afraid of being betrayed, but they are also afraid of betraying others.
Naz stopped in her tracks instantly.
Qianlin simply smiled and said, "So, it's quite remarkable, isn't it?"
