Pokémon: Did you play Pokémon today?

Chapter 32 "WC! Box!"

Interact with Little Green.

Without hesitation, Bai Zhou readily accepted the childish challenge of "who gets the gym badge first".

Then, he revealed an extremely sinister smile.

The following actions were textbook examples of tailing and freeloading.

Little Red Ghost followed Little Green furtively, keeping a safe distance.

Just as Green finished clearing out the gym preliminaries and was preparing to step onto the final battle stage, Red suddenly appeared behind him and, to his astonishment, stepped onto the battle stage first.

The image is in focus.

Brock, the Gym Leader of Pyrenees Gym, with his rock-solid, squinty eyes, makes his appearance.

Xiao Gang: Challenger! State your name!

"Regarding gym challenges, the order in which badges are collected is not fixed. The core responsibility of gyms is to discover promising new trainers, so gym leaders usually send out at least three Pokémon to meet the challenge."

Bai Zhou did not answer Xiao Gang immediately, but instead carefully explained the rules to the audience.

"The difficulty of subsequent gym challenges will gradually increase based on the number of badges you have obtained. However, it is worth noting that badge collection challenges do not represent the true strength of gym leaders. If you want to compete against gym leaders at their peak, then become the League Champion first and then try to chat with them."

"So you can jump around while fighting in a gym?"

"You can become the champion and then come back to challenge the gym leader at full strength! This game even has a hidden New Game Plus challenge!"

"Xiao Gang is a real man!"

"Alright, enough chit-chat."

Bai Zhou was preparing to explain the key points of the strategy when he suddenly seemed to remember something. A meaningful smile appeared on his lips, and he quietly took out his phone and tapped the background a few times.

"Wait a minute, actually, when it comes to understanding the Pewter City Gym Leader, I think there's one person who definitely has the right to speak, and he happens to be in the live stream right now."

Amidst a barrage of confused "???" comments, Bai Zhou smiled and clicked on the live stream connection function, precisely targeting a specific ID in the viewer list and sending an invitation.

"Connecting..."

"Rock Solid" has been integrated into the live streaming channel.

"Who is this rock-solid guy? Wait a minute! His ID is verified as the Pyrenees Gym Leader!"

"WC! Box!"

"Good morning, lunch, and evening. Would you be interested in sharing some key points about challenging the Pewter City Gym with everyone in the live stream? This is Brock, the Gym Leader."

Bai Zhou spoke in a familiar tone.

He and Xiaogang had a very good relationship; they often analyzed the differences between Joey and Miss Officer Jenny in different cities together.

"The gym leader's appearance in the game is almost a 1:1 replica of the real gym leader."

He also added:

"If you're interested in Rock-type Pokémon, the Pewter City Gym is always open, and Brock is a great trainer there."

"Haha, no problem at all! Let me explain how to conquer the Pewter City Gym!"

A cheerful and steady voice came out, which surprised Xiao Gang. In the background, the clinking of spatulas and the noise of children could be faintly heard.

"I was just preparing dinner for my younger siblings, cooking while watching the live stream, when I didn't expect Teacher Salty Fish to suddenly call me..."

He immediately understood Bai Zhou's intention.

This is basically helping him get a free GG!

Although the Pewter Gym is famous, it would be good if it could attract more trainers to challenge it.

No wonder he's a good brother!

Thinking of this, Xiao Gang's squinty eyes seemed to narrow even more, and he continued with high spirits:

"Teacher Saltyfish is absolutely right! The core of welcoming new challengers to a gym is discovering and guiding their potential! So in the game, I predict I'll be sending out Geodude, Graveler, and my ace Onix!"

At this moment, in the game screen, Brock indeed sent out Geodude first.

This is exactly as Xiaogang predicted in reality.

"The lineup is set, now it's time for tactics!"

Xiao Gang's voice carried the unique authority of the museum owner.

"As a test of a newcomer's resilience, I really like to use 'self-destruct' tactics! This forces challengers to make judgments and responses in an instant! Finally, my ace Onix, like a rolling boulder, will end the challenge with unstoppable force!"

He paused at this point, and his tone suddenly rose.

"After all, to remain steadfast as a rock in the face of fierce winds and torrential rain—that's what makes a true man!"

"Master Xiaogang's analysis is spot on!"

Bai Zhou continued to give instructions without stopping.

"However, we have Gastly! Normal-type moves are completely ineffective against us. As long as we switch at the right time, we can perfectly avoid the threat of the suicide attack."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Gang in the game took a deep breath and shouted commands.

"Brock: Geodude! Big Bang!"

"Come back, Bulbasaur! Go, Gastly!"

Bai Zhou's command was smooth and fluid.

A flash of red light, and Gastly appeared, completely avoiding the damage from the explosion.

"Gym Leader Brock personally taught me how to conquer the Pewter City Gym. Am I out of my mind, or is the world out of its mind?"

"Understood, I'll get ready now and challenge the Pewter Gym later."

"A real man! So handsome!"

"Master Xiaogang's analysis is excellent! Teacher Xianyu's guidance was just right!"

The number of viewers in the live stream has reached a new high, although it keeps increasing.

With Xiaogang's strategy, Baizhou's gym battle went smoothly.

With the final Onix falling, Red successfully obtained his first Gym Badge—the Grey Badge!

"Let's thank Gym Leader Brock once again for his strong support. Skilled trainers are welcome to challenge the Pewter Gym at any time."

White Boat disconnected the connection, maneuvered Red to take a detour and avoid Green before leaving the gym.

Just as all the audience held their breath, eagerly anticipating his charge towards Mt. Tsukimi to continue the Crimson Legend's adventure, he uttered an untimely remark.

"Ahem... This demonstration is almost over. To find out what happens next, please follow Salty Fish. We'll broadcast more when we have time..."

He deliberately dragged out the tone.

"Well then, Ghana~"

As soon as he finished speaking, the live stream went black.

"Is it frozen? Why is the screen black?"

"Fuck you... I'd already taken my pants off! You just ran away, huh?"

"Refund! Refund! Refund!"

"RNM! Refund!"

After turning off the live stream, Bai Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief, gently carried the Gastly, who was drooling in its sleep, to the bed, and carefully tucked it in.

After doing all this, he took out his phone and opened the game chat group.

The first thing they did was to interrogate me in a fiery red light.

"A fighter:!"

"Fighter: @DreamIsRetiredSaltedFish"

"Fighter: Shirafusa-kun! What happened to Mount Tsukimi? I gave you all my allowance for today! You lied to me!!!"

Ignoring this, Bai Zhou clicked to add the group chat members.

"'Dreaming of Retirement' invites 'Rock Solid' to join the group chat"

"Dream is to retire Salty Fish: @RockSolid, this is a Pokémon game discussion group. We can chat and joke around when we have free time."

"Evolved One: Welcome newcomer, group status -1"

"Nurturer: -1"

"The Healer: -1"

"The Fighter: ?"

"Fighter: -1"
