"However…"
"Precisely because this patent is so important—because it carries such enormous commercial value and social significance…"
"Even though the League has already opened many green channels for you, and simplified countless procedures in other matters…"
"For this particular patent certification, Ash, every single step of the process must be completed rigorously and according to regulations."
"Only then, when future commercial organizations cooperate with you and review the patent documentation, will there be no legal issues."
"Only then will malicious parties be unable to exploit loopholes or attempt to seize portions of the patent by applying for similar or derivative concepts."
"So next…"
"You must formally and comprehensively explain your creative proposal in full."
"This presentation will become an extremely important archived recording and certification document."
The elderly executive inside the Kanto League Intellectual Property and Patent Administration conference room looked toward Ash through the screen as he spoke.
Then he smiled faintly.
"So, Ash…"
"Please begin your presentation."
"We're all ears."
—
"Alright."
"First of all, thank you very much to all the leaders and officials of the Kanto League Intellectual Property and Patent Administration for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my presentation."
Sitting calmly on the hotel sofa, Ash nodded politely before beginning.
"As for the concept proposal of 'Remote Capture' itself…"
"The overall logic and framework are actually not complicated at all."
"In fact, they're very simple."
"The trainer first sends their own Pokémon to the location of the target Pokémon they wish to capture."
"Then, through trusted friends or associates, their Pokémon is brought before the desired target."
"After that, both sides open a live video connection."
"Once the target Pokémon consents to the challenge, the trainer remotely commands their own Pokémon in battle and completes the capture process that way."
"Fundamentally speaking…"
"The method of capturing Pokémon itself has not changed."
"It is still the familiar system of battle-and-capture."
"What 'remote video command' solves…"
"Is the problem of enormous geographic distance between the trainer and the Pokémon they wish to capture."
Ash's tone remained calm and steady.
"Remote video command shortens spatial distance."
"It greatly reduces the time, money, mental effort, and travel costs associated with obtaining Pokémon from foreign regions."
"At the same time…"
"It transforms things that were once impossible—or extremely difficult—into something achievable."
"That…"
"Is the complete summary of the advantages, superiority, and operational structure of the Remote Capture model."
—
"Additionally…"
"Why must trainers send their own Pokémon over and personally command battles using their own Pokémon?"
"I believe I don't need to overexplain this point."
"Because this concerns legality, compliance, and ethical legitimacy."
"Pokémon civilization has existed for over six thousand years."
"And modern civilization—where humans and Pokémon coexist harmoniously—has a history of approximately 170 to 200 years."
"The civilization of the Pokémon world was not built by humans alone."
"It was jointly created by humans and Pokémon together."
"Modern society itself is a civilization formed through the coexistence of both races."
"Therefore…"
"We must treat Pokémon as intelligent lifeforms equal to humanity itself."
"And Pokémon capture must always follow the principle of mutual consent."
Ash's expression became more serious.
"The reason trainers personally command their own Pokémon during capture battles…"
"Is because this has become a universally recognized rule and tradition throughout the development of the trainer profession."
"So the Remote Capture model I propose…"
"Cannot break away from the existing trainer capture system."
"The trainer must use their own Pokémon."
"And they must personally command the battle."
"This is both respect toward one's future companion…"
"And a requirement demanded by social ethics and legal regulations."
—
"If someone merely sends their Pokémon over and allows another person to command the capture battle…"
"Or worse…"
"If they don't even send their own Pokémon and simply ask someone else to capture a Pokémon on their behalf…"
"Then even if there is no commercial transaction involved…"
"Even if it is simply friends helping one another…"
"That behavior still cannot be permitted."
"Because such systems could easily become disguises for Pokémon poaching and illegal Pokémon trafficking."
"It could become fertile soil for criminal activity."
"So Remote Capture must satisfy two mandatory conditions."
"First: the trainer must use their own Pokémon."
"Second: the trainer themselves must command the capture battle."
—
"Additionally…"
"Why use live video communication instead of simple voice calls?"
"That concerns Pokémon recognition and consent."
"If it were merely a voice call…"
"The Pokémon being challenged wouldn't even know what its future trainer looks like."
"Naturally, it would be far less likely to accept the battle invitation."
"After all…"
"Capturing Pokémon isn't simply about having stronger Pokémon or superior strength."
"The core principle is still mutual willingness."
"But through live video…"
"The Pokémon can directly see the trainer's appearance."
"Even if the trainer is not physically present…"
"The invited Pokémon still gains greater room to think and make a conscious decision."
—
"Furthermore…"
"Although the logic and operational structure of Remote Capture itself are simple…"
"The real key to fully unlocking its advantages…"
"Lies in the preparation before capture and the follow-up systems afterward."
Ash leaned slightly forward.
"What preparations are needed before capture?"
"Actually…"
"There are quite a lot."
"Because trainers are obtaining Pokémon from foreign regions…"
"The Pokémon's habits, living conditions, dietary needs, and behavioral characteristics may differ greatly from local Pokémon."
"So before a trainer chooses to capture a foreign regional Pokémon…"
"They must first learn the relevant knowledge associated with that species."
"They must understand how to properly care for it after capture."
"Only then should they be granted the qualification to capture foreign regional Pokémon."
"From an industrial-chain perspective…"
"This means that before Remote Capture can occur, there must first exist two systems:"
"First: educational training regarding Pokémon-related knowledge."
"Second: qualification review and authorization for capturing foreign regional Pokémon."
"The former could potentially be handled by civilian commercial organizations."
"But the latter…"
"Must absolutely be supervised and completed by the League itself."
—
"Of course…"
"Those are merely the preparations before Remote Capture."
"After trainers successfully capture foreign regional Pokémon…"
"Commercial organizations or official institutions could also establish simulated ecological habitats."
"These facilities would allow foreign regional Pokémon to gradually adapt to the local environment and prevent environmental incompatibility."
"Additionally…"
"The League must conduct official registration and periodic follow-up inspections."
"This includes monitoring health conditions and disease-prevention measures for foreign regional Pokémon."
"And finally…"
"To prevent trainers from irresponsibly releasing foreign regional Pokémon into the wild…"
"Which could damage local ecosystems…"
"And also leave those Pokémon abandoned in unfamiliar lands, causing severe physical and psychological harm…"
"The League and related organizations must strictly regulate the future release process."
"If a trainer and Pokémon genuinely cannot get along…"
"And truly must 'separate'…"
"Then proper 'separation registration procedures' must be completed."
"Afterward…"
"The Pokémon should be safely escorted and returned to its original region."
