"Why Does Teacher Salty Fish Have So Much Right~"

Phadoya region, Niangguang Dojo.

Inside the dojo, the indicator light on the professional camera turned from red to green, signaling that the live broadcast was connected.

Viewers who had been waiting in front of their screens flooded in like a tidal wave, and colorful bullet comments instantly overwhelmed the entire live stream.

"Capture your eye with an electric grid! Good morning, good afternoon, good night, hello Ciao! Who's 'Strange Tree'? I'm Strange Tree!"

A burst of energetic girlish voice rang out, followed by a dynamic background music track.

In the center of the screen, a vibrant and energetic young woman with pink and blue highlights and wearing a wide-necked sweatshirt suddenly appears.

This is none other than the Gym Leader of Brewmaster Dojo, and the wildly popular streamer who has gone viral!

"It's time for the Qishu Channel! Today's live stream content is..."

Qi Shu deliberately dragged out the last syllable, his pink crystal-like pupils gleaming slyly under the light, and his shark-tooth smile dazzlingly bright.

"Hehe, everyone must be super curious, right? Right? Right~"

She twirled gracefully, her wide sleeves drawing beautiful arcs, and the two little Magnemite hair ornaments floating above her head also spun merrily.

"Today is the big day for the release of Pokémon! Did everyone get theirs? Hehe~ I'll let you in on a little secret: I've already played it ahead of time!"

"Mama Qishu! Hehehe~"

"I got one! I lined up at 3 a.m., and the line was so long it could circle the earth three times!"

"Kiki-chan, I'm so sorry! They were sold out by the time it was my turn, sob sob~"

Pokémon YYDS!

"Where's Qishu gotten to? Spoilers please!"

Qi Shu's bright eyes swept across the comments, and then he responded enthusiastically.

"Looks like everyone's enthusiasm is incredibly high! That's right! Today's live stream is all about—entering the world of Pokémon together and starting an adventure!"

She playfully covered the lower half of her face with the edge of her sleeve, revealing only her smiling eyes.

"And what's more! I've invited a special guest! He'll be exploring the wonderful world of Pokémon with me! Can you guess who it is?"

"That must be me!"

"Special guest? Could it be... Champion Ye Ci?"

"Let me do it! Playing Pokémon with Qishu is my lifelong dream! Oh my god—"

"I bet five cents it's definitely the missing person, Salty Teacher!"

Click—

As if in response to the speculation, a crisp notification sound rang out indicating that the communication had been connected.

Immediately afterwards, a languid voice, heavy with sleepiness, drifted into the live stream.

"Hey? Mr. Qishu? The room is set up. I've sent you the key via private message. Just log in and enter the code to enter my world."

"Holy crap! It really is Teacher Salty!"

"Kiki-chan has unearthed the missing person!"

"You lazy bum! You have time to play games with Qishu but no time to stream! I'm unfollowing you!"

"How could you be so selfish! Do you even know that a player named red uploaded a video of the hidden storyline in Pallet Town's research lab?! And what about you?!"

"Strange Tree, Strange Tree, enslave Teacher Salty Fish severely!!!"

The barrage of comments exploded, and Qi Shu quickly covered his mouth with his sleeve, chuckling to himself as he shrugged. A moment later, he announced with great energy.

"That's right! That's right! This is the producer of Pokémon—Salted Fish Sauce!"

"Huh? The live stream has already started?"

On the other end of the communication line, Bai Zhou's voice sounded somewhat bewildered, but he quickly realized what was happening.

"Teacher Qishu, please give my greetings to everyone in the live stream."

"Don't call me teacher, Salty Fish Sauce! Just call me Qishu!"

She waved her hand somewhat shyly, but her eyes nervously glanced at the camera. Suddenly, she imitated Bai Zhou's tone and said sweetly:

"Hi everyone~ Salty Fish Sauce asked me to say hello to you all!"

"?"

"So we were part of your scheme too? Salty Fish Teacher, you deserve to die!"

"Wonderful Tree, Wonderful Tree, can't you kick Salty Fish Teacher aside and let me do it? I promise I'll be 2 times more considerate than him!"

"Why does Teacher Saltyfish have so much right?"

"Kiki-chan...is it okay to call me that?"

Bai Zhou's voice carried a hint of probing.

"Of course, no problem! I'm ready! Let's begin!"

Qi Shu's eyes sparkled, and he pulled out a pink illustrated book from somewhere, instantly projecting the image onto the live stream.

Enter the key; connection successful.

Why do I say it's a success?

Because two characters with very different styles appeared in the game screen.

One is a replica of the real-life Qishu, an energetic and adorable little Qishu.

The other one was wearing a bulky Gengar onesie costume, with an extremely simple expression of two dots and a horizontal line on his face, and the ID: Xiaobai.

"No! There's also a costume system!"

"He's obviously a casual player who didn't manage to snag a game account. Not only does he have outfits, but he also has in-depth character customization! Teacher Xianyu was hiding a lot of things during his stream."

"While it's described as an adventure story of Red Saga, you can completely immerse yourself in it and create your own legend in the Pokémon world!"

"What kind of aesthetic sense does Salty Fish Teacher have! The Gengar costume is one thing... but what's with that minimalist face with two commas and a dash?"

"You don't understand. This is called postmodern deconstructionism. I feel that Teacher Salty's character is very interesting."

The online comments section was filled with heated debate.

The adventure of Qishu and Baizhou has officially begun.

Kiju got his hands on the collector's edition a while ago and leaked it; the characters are so exquisite they look like custom-made figurines.

Bai Zhou used the save file from the last live stream, but privately changed his name and put on his favorite outfit.

Current progress: Just finished defeating the Pewter City Gym.

"Salted fish sauce! Salted fish sauce!"

Qishu's voice was full of anticipation as it manipulated Little Qishu to circle around the dazed Little White.

"Where do we go next? I just got the Dark Grey Badge too!"

"According to the original route, we should be heading to Cerulean City."

Bai Zhou controlled Xiao Bai to take steps, heading towards the Dark Gray City Museum with a clear goal in mind.

"However... now that the game has been released, it wouldn't be fair to keep it hidden any longer."

He paused, his voice carrying a hint of mystery.

"Let's take a look at certain people, and some hidden storylines related to Tsukimiyama."

Hidden plot!

Qi Shu's voice suddenly rose, and he excitedly waved his little fist at the camera.

"Attention everyone! High alert ahead!"

She only realized after she shouted that Little White had already gone far away, so she hurriedly and frantically manipulated Little Wonder Tree to chase after it.

As Qi Shu arrived at the museum's imposing main entrance, he was about to open the payment interface to buy a ticket when Bai Zhou stopped him.

"Come with me, I have connections, it'll cost you nothing."

"free?"

Qi Shu's eyes widened in surprise, and his mouth pursed into an "O" shape.

Little White skillfully navigated to a secluded corner behind the museum and moved a few inconspicuous, broken wooden crates—

A small hole, hidden at the base of the wall and only wide enough for a small Pokémon to pass through, appears.

Then, under the stunned gazes of Qishu and hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream, Xiaobai lay down without hesitation and began to pupate inside.

"No! So they brought this strange tree to burrow underground because it's free?"

"No way! It's really not that bad! It's only 50 yuan!"

"Don't go crawling, Kiju-chan! We can't ruin our good image!"

"How Game Producers Spoil Top Streamers"

"Teacher Salty Fish: The essence of this game is to not follow the beaten path!"
