Labyrinths, Journeys, and a Pokemon Teacher

Integrating the Dungeon Expedition series into the world-building is excellent; it's much better than those so-called "mysterious realms." I'd say, could we standardize the naming of all "mysterious realms" in Pokémon fanfiction from now on by calling them "Dungeons"? And it's not written like the fantastical mysterious realms found in other stories; it genuinely considers the Dungeon Expedition series' setting, cleverly using "Dungeon" to replace the harsh wilderness and inexplicable mysterious realms. While many books have incorporated the Chinese region into the Pokémon world, even using familiar names like "Eastern Empire," the author's concept in this book feels refreshing. The idea of granting Pokémon human rights, known as the "Pokémon Citizens" system, is truly eye-opening. Perhaps only a genuine love for Pokémon could lead to such a system granting Pokémon human rights and citizenship. It stands out in creating a relatively "realistic" Pokémon worldview, unlike those that portray reality as dark and oppressive or vaguely explain it as a beautiful world simply because it's for children. It restores the beauty of the Pokémon worldview while taking into account the flaws in the system and reality. While I do feel that the world's power dynamics are somewhat inflated, it is precisely because of this abundance of power that the world appears peaceful. Moreover, it is true that due to the abundant production capacity of the Pokémon world, there will not be much conflict between countries and regions. For example, other texts use Pokémon battles to replace national wars. The so-called World Championships are actually wars, and the desire for power stems from the fact that trainers are equivalent to armies and armaments.
