Pokemon: Behold the Father of All Pokemons

A big ol' thanks to "Faysal Muhumed" and "Salenttee" for becoming strong supporters of my Patreon, this just brings me a little closer to my goal of quitting my job and focusing more on translating to my heart's content. Thank you so much!!!

Squirtle and Charmander had barely finished their foraged eggs when Ethan and Timmy arrived at the top of the small hill. Startled, the mischievous duo tried to wipe their mouths clean, only to find the residue smeared in even more conspicuous stripes across their cheeks.

"Pika pika!"

Timmy pointed at their dirty faces, clearly telling Ethan.

Ethan tucked one under each arm and stifled a laugh.

"Even Timmy can see through you two, enough is enough! Back you go!"

He carried them down the hill, deciding to move them to his private villa soon. Otherwise, they'd risk spoiling the other young Pokémon with their antics.

Meanwhile, news of that day's Pokémon transfer to the newly acquired Tarvok Wildlife Park spread to the masses. Photos and videos quickly appeared online. Netizens - some excited, some skeptical - speculated that Ethan might be opening a "special zoo" to the public.

"If this is true, I can't afford a Pokémon, but I can afford a park ticket!"

"I live in the capital. When it opens, I'll definitely fly out to see it!"

"I've been thinking about getting a Pichu; it would be perfect to visit first!"

"I'd pay $100 for a ticket-just open it!"

Late that night, a tired Ethan scrolled through his Weibo private messages and found hundreds of new ones. Noting the growing curiosity, he posted a brief update:

Ethan (@EthanGraveOfficial):

"We're taking a short break to get everything organized, but yes, the park will be open to visitors soon. Hope to see you then!"

Replies and likes skyrocketed. Comments praised his openness, though Ethan knew the online buzz could fade quickly. Still, it was an encouraging sign.

Along with the park updates, Charmander made its social media debut. Clips of the small orange lizard with a fiery tail puzzled many viewers:

"That poor thing! Can't they put that fire out?"

"Ethan is cruel - letting a Pokémon burn like that!"

Ethan snorted when he saw such remarks and shook his head at the misunderstanding. Fortunately, more informed commenters soon clarified that Charmander's tail flame was essential to his health. Others marveled:

"So he literally controls fire? Incredible!"

"Squirtle stores water, Charmander breathes fire... how is Ethan coming up with new genetic marvels so fast?"

Indeed, Charmander's existence rekindled the awe surrounding Ethan's seemingly endless supply of biotech breakthroughs - especially since Squirtle's debut hadn't been that long ago. The public's curiosity about the upcoming Pokémon Park increased even more.

That night, Ethan received a WeChat message from someone named Shevaun Smith, an acquaintance from his neighborhood:

Shevaun Smith:

"Hey, Ethan, I'm a friend of Peele's, the guy you met in the neighborhood. I hear you're opening up this Pokémon Park to the public. My company, Dingdong Advertising Media, specializes in promotions-if you need help, we'll give you a great rate!"

He attached a link that showed previous advertising campaigns his company had run. Intrigued, Ethan did a quick background check on Dingdong.

"Not bad," he thought. "They've successfully handled several major campaigns."

Ethan replied, suggesting a face-to-face meeting. In business, advertising is still crucial for both new ventures and big brands. If the park was going to welcome ticket-buying visitors, some form of promotional push would be essential.

Ethan:

"All right, come by my office tomorrow and we'll discuss the details."

Excited, Shevaun promised to come, full of praise for Ethan and the Pokémon Company.

---

True to his word, Shevaun arrived the next day. Ethan spent three hours questioning him about marketing strategies and practical approaches to promoting a "biotech theme park" that wasn't exactly an amusement park or a zoo. 

In the end, Ethan was impressed enough to propose a long-term deal. Dingdong would spearhead a comprehensive advertising campaign for Pokémon Park, from billboard design and social media outreach to potential collaborations with local businesses.

"I'll have our legal team draw up the contract," Ethan said. "If we're good to go, I'd like you to start in a month or two. I have a lot of moving parts right now."

They shook hands, and the preparations for Pokémon Park's official debut entered a new phase.

---

Weeks passed. With the park nearly complete, Ethan received a timely reminder: the International Gene Biotechnology Exchange Conference was just around the corner. 

He'd received an unexpected invitation. It was hardly surprising, considering that his Pichu, Squirtle, and Charmander creations had rocked biotech discussions worldwide.

As Ethan contemplated the upcoming trip, the mental image of Charmander and Hydro guiltily nibbling on those stolen eggs made him chuckle.

Pokémon Paradise might be physically secure, but the Pokémon's mischief and curiosity knew no bounds. Their playful antics, the public excitement, and the never-ending scientific intrigue would all become part of the ongoing story of Pokémon Biotech.

With the groundwork laid and the park nearly complete, the next step was an even bigger stage, where the world's leading biotech experts waited impatiently for Ethan's next breakthrough.
