Chapter 306 "Protecting Pokémon starts with you and me!"
The energy contained in Bai Zhou's words during the live broadcast and the chain reaction they triggered were far greater than he had imagined.
Legendary Pokémon, especially those that have never been officially revealed, are always a topic of great interest!
In just a few short moments, the number of viewers in the live stream exceeded ten million!
This caused the popularity of the Qishu Qishu channel to explode instantly, surpassing the League of Legends live stream that was broadcasting a Masters tournament and firmly taking the top spot on the real-time popularity chart across all platforms!
However, Qishu didn't have time to pay attention to the data at the moment; her mind was completely captivated by the name "Shrabi" and the mystery behind it.
Celebi — The Mythical Pokémon — An ancient forest legend of the Johto region —
With each word she repeated in a low voice, the light in her eyes grew brighter.
It's as if I can already see myself traveling alongside the shrine in the future, exploring ancient legends—a dreamlike scene.
Although she wanted to know more about the shrine, she was also a smart girl who knew how to be discreet.
As the game's producer, SaltyFishSauce made an exception and gave her an important name and clues during the live stream, which is already an enormous favor.
She can't push her luck any further; she has to explore on her own!
"It's decided!"
"I, Qishu, must find all the fragments of the legend of Celebi in HeartGold/SoulSilver!"
'
Qi Shu clenched his little fist and announced to the live broadcast camera with great enthusiasm.
"Then you'll encounter it and forge a truly special bond! Travel together and explore all the ancient secrets of the Johto region! This is the latest installment of the Legend Exploration Project on the Strange Trees and Strange Tales Channel!"
"Very good, very impressive."
On the other end of the phone, Bai Zhou's gentle voice seemed to carry an electric current, making Qi Shu's ears itch slightly.
"Well then, I'll hang up now. I still have some follow-up project plans for the game to work on. Good luck with the live stream!"
"Mmm! Thanks for the salted fish sauce! Bye-bye~ Good luck with your work!"
hang up the phone.
Qi Shu felt his body brimming with electricity, his motivation to explore was even stronger than before, and even his cheeks flushed slightly with excitement.
I was completely immersed in a state of blissful excitement.
She glanced at the handsome researcher in the game screen who was still smiling at the little strange tree, and a sly smile appeared on her lips.
"Hmph~ Handsome researcher, although you're very tight-lipped and won't say a word—"
Qishu, controlling Little Qishu, walked up to the handsome researcher and said proudly, "But! I already know its name through special channels! Celebi!"
"Just you wait, I will definitely find it and bring it back to confront you! Let's see what you have to say then!"
"Now—the second phase of the exploration in Jihua City begins!"
With a clear goal in mind, Qishu's exploration efficiency increased significantly.
Soon, she controlled the little strange tree to travel all over the main areas of Jihua City and completed the lighting of the entire map.
However, to prevent the overly curious Little Tree from wandering into some strange place on her own again, the conscientious researcher Shiki personally led her to Pokémon Grandpa's house.
What Qishu didn't expect was that she not only met the kind Pokémon grandpa here, but also encountered an unexpected heavyweight!
"Professor Oak?!"
The strange tree was both surprised and delighted, and controlled the little strange tree to run forward.
After some interaction and conversation, it was learned that Professor Oak had come to the Johto region to participate in an academic exchange activity and took the opportunity to visit his old friend in Johto—the Pokémon Grandpa.
Professor Oak was as kind and approachable as ever, and he gave Little Tree, a rookie trainer who was just starting out, a lot of encouragement.
He also solemnly handed her a crucial tool for her journey—the Pokédex (Johto Edition)!
A classic tradition, brimming with a sense of ritual!
Qishu even struck a pose as if opening a picture book for the camera.
Grandpa Pokémon solemnly entrusted the "strange egg" to Little Tree and told her to take good care of it.
The main quest has been successfully updated.
Just then, Dr. Kumo called to inform him of an emergency.
Of the three starter Pokémon prepared for newcomers at the research institute, one was stolen by an unidentified person!
Little Qishu needs to return to Ruoye Town immediately!
After bidding farewell to Pokémon Grandpa, Professor Oak, and the handsome researcher, Qishu, carrying his newly acquired Pokédex and the mysterious egg, embarked on his journey back to New Leaf Town.
She set off on Route 29 once more, her heart pounding with excitement at the abundance of her harvest and adventures, humming a little tune she'd learned from the salted fish sauce.
"Mambo~ Mambo~"
Then----
I've been blocked again.
This time, the one blocking Xiaoqishu's path was not the strange masked man from before, but the red-haired boy she had met once before outside the Kongmu Research Institute.
He stood alone in the middle of the road, arms crossed, chin slightly raised.
Her short red hair fluttered gently in the breeze, indicating that she had been waiting there for a while.
"???: Hey, you."
The red-haired boy spoke, his tone as direct as his gaze, without any preamble.
"???: You also got your Pokémon from Elm, right? Let's battle."
There were no questions, no pleasantries, just a direct challenge.
The style is characterized by its crispness and efficiency.
Qi Shu was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up!
at last!
Is the long-awaited first official match finally about to begin?!
"Okay! I won't lose!"
With great enthusiasm, Qi Shu waved his hand and sent out his companions.
"I choose you, Chicory!"
Chicory leaped spiritedly to the middle of the road, its leaves swaying gently, ready for battle.
The red-haired boy opposite silently threw out a small saw-toothed crocodile with equally unruly eyes.
Battle process ————
It was much easier than I had imagined.
Since it was a tutorial battle for beginners, both Pokémon were at low levels and had very few moves.
Moreover, the little saw-toothed tortoise seemed to have an exceptionally stubborn personality, ignoring the red-haired boy's commands several times and acting on its own, practically making Chikorita a live target.
In short, after several rounds of Chikorita's relentless and rapid-fire attacks, the little tortoise was panting heavily and showing signs of defeat.
Seeing that defeat was imminent, the red-haired boy, who had always had a cold expression, suddenly became anxious.
"???: This battle isn't over yet! I'll be back for you! Little Sawtooth—take your anger out on me!!!"
Having lost all will to fight, the little tortoise heard this final command and slammed its head into the ground beneath its feet!
boom!
With a muffled thud, bits of grass and a little dirt flew up, creating a small area of smoke.
As the smoke slowly dissipated—
The red-haired boy and the little saw-toothed tortoise have disappeared.
Only a small card remained, left behind in the same spot.
"Huh? Where did everyone go? Did I... win?"
Qishu was stunned for a moment, looking at the empty road, before he reacted and happily jumped up and down on the chair.
"Yay! First battle won! Chicory leaves are amazing!"
"That's more like it! The previous masked man was just a plot device, he didn't count at all, hmph!"
After the initial excitement subsided, she remembered to control the little tree to walk over and pick up the card on the ground to examine it.
The card featured a life-size illustration of the red-haired boy, with his name written next to it.
"Little Silver"
"Silver? Is that the name of that trainer from earlier?"
Qishu looked at the card, furrowed her delicate brows, and pretended to be thinking hard.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she remembered the live broadcast of the event that Bai Zhou had watched a few days ago!
"Ah! I remember now!"
She clapped her hands excitedly and announced to the audience, "Isn't that Silver, the contestant from the Pokémon All-Around Sea Tournament?! That cool-looking..."
A somewhat taciturn boy!
Her words instantly awakened the memories of many viewers in the live stream, who connected the game character with the real person, and the chat was flooded with comments!
"Holy crap! I didn't even remember if Kiju-chan hadn't mentioned it! Not only Gin, but the other two main characters from the game, Akin and Chris, also participated in that competition!"
"If you mention this, I'm wide awake! That competition wasn't just about them! Legendary trainers Crimson and Blue-Green also participated! It was a battle of gods!"
"It wasn't just a battle of gods! At the very last moment, someone summoned a legendary Pokémon! It literally overturned the ocean! My legs went weak just watching it!"
"I know that! The one who summons legendary Pokémon is Mr. Shiwagi's best friend, Dr. Shiwagi, a professor of mythology!"
During the awards ceremony, he even made a special appearance to preview the upcoming HeartGold/SoulSilver livestream for Mr. Salty!
"Now that you mention it—the more I look at the handsome researcher, the more he resembles Dr. Shiraishu? His demeanor, his knowledge..."
That effortless and confident tone —
"What the hell?! Knowing Professor Xianyu's track record, the handsome researcher could very well be Dr. Bai Zhou! Their attributes overlap perfectly!"
The viewers in the live chat thought they had discovered a shocking secret and started a new round of reasoning frenzy.
They thought Teacher Salty Fish was hiding on the fifth floor, but they used their wisdom to see the seventh floor.
But what they didn't know was that the seventh floor might just be the "appearance" that Teacher Salty wanted them to see.
In reality, Teacher Salty Fish might be standing in the atmosphere.
Who would easily guess that the game's producer, Salty Fish Teacher, is actually the mythology PhD "White Boat" himself?
Looking at the comments on the screen who thought they had discovered the truth, Qi Shu couldn't help but purse his lips, forcibly suppressing the smile that was about to spill out.
There was a small, secret sense of pride and sweetness in my heart.
She would never tell them that Professor Salty Fish is Dr. Shiraishu!
This is a little secret between her and Salted Fish Sauce—well, it's kind of a secret?
Otherwise, if I express my love for the handsome researcher character during a live stream, wouldn't that be the same as publicly "confessing" to SaltyFish Sauce herself?
Just thinking about it makes me incredibly shy!
Although she might, seems, should, possibly, indeed—do like salted fish sauce a little bit—
But that's only a little bit!
It's the fans' admiration and appreciation for the excellent producer! It's their love for the charming character of the "handsome researcher" he created!
Yes! That's it!
Just as the comments section was buzzing with discussion, Qi Shu's inner monologue was churning.
In the game scene, a dense thicket next to the little strange tree suddenly swayed unnaturally.
Immediately afterwards, the red-haired boy, Xiao Yin, who had just been defeated and disappeared, walked out from inside with a blank expression.
He walked straight up to Little Tree, snatched the Trainer Card back, stuffed it back into his pocket, and spoke with a hint of embarrassment and anger.
"Silver: Give it back! This is my Trainer Card! Hmph—you saw my name, didn't you—"
He didn't say another word.
Silver tried his best to maintain a cool and aloof expression, quickly walked out of Route 29, and his figure disappeared somewhat hastily in the direction leading to Yoshihide City.
"————"
Qi Shu blinked, his eyes crinkling as he watched Qi Shu's retreating figure, which was less of a "cool exit" and more of an "awkward escape."
Then he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Oh my, really—she's quite cute, Gin."
She commented to the camera in a relaxed tone, clearly not taking the minor conflict to heart.
After all, winning is always a happy thing! The joy of the first victory is the greatest!
The live chat was also amused by this unexpected turn of events, instantly filling the air with a joyful atmosphere.
"Good grief! He just hid in the bushes?! That's such a ridiculous escape method!"
"So cringeworthy, hahaha! Who knew the cool Little Silver used to be so lively? Snatching back the business card in a fit of rage, huh?!"
"About the incident where I lost the match but absolutely couldn't lose face, so I hid in the bushes and then came out to retrieve the business card."
"Silver: Damn it! I can lose the battle, but I can't lose my Trainer Card! (After uttering these harsh words, he makes a rapid return, invincible!)"
"That arrogant air, tsk tsk, definitely the classic style!"
"Little Silver: Dark History +1"
After the brief incident, Qishu continued humming a song, controlling Little Qishu to continue its journey back to Ruoye Town.
Upon returning to Wakaba Town, I bumped into a dashing Officer Jenny right in front of Dr. Elm's research institute.
After a brief interaction, the two entered the research institute together and found Dr. Kuki.
After some conversation, it was learned that the reason Dr. Kumoki was in such a hurry to call Little Tree back was to ask her if she had seen any suspicious people nearby and to provide some clues.
Miss Officer Jenny handed a portrait to Little Tree, hoping she could identify the thief and name him.
"Little Silver!?"
Qi Shu looked at the familiar red-haired boy in the portrait and blurted out!
Isn't that Little Silver, the one she just fought?!
"Ah! I see!"
Qi Shu suddenly realized, and gently punched his left palm with his right fist.
"I knew it! That's why his little totomato wouldn't listen to commands and always acted so stubborn! Now I know why!"
Having figured everything out, she pouted angrily, made a big "X" with both hands in front of the camera, and solemnly warned the audience.
"Did you all see that? Stealing Pokémon is a very, very serious crime!"
"Pokémon are our partners, not objects!"
"The alliance has a very comprehensive and strict set of laws and regulations regarding this type of incident! Never, ever imitate this behavior!"
The live chat immediately followed suit, flooding the screen with positive messages.
"Protecting Pokémon starts with each of us!"
"So Silver stole Totodile? Then why did he risk stealing the starter Pokémon? I have a feeling his background might be more than he seems—I'm starting to look forward to what happens next!"
"If I remember correctly, in FireRed/LeafGreen, Blue initially wanted to take away the lab's starter Pokémon, right? But she was caught red-handed by the handsome researcher!"
"Goodness, that's a traditional skill!"
"Regarding the main characters' tendency to try and get the three starter Pokémon for free at the beginning..."
