Chapter 47

The Five-Part Rayquaza!

Hoenn region.

The entrance to a cave.

Daigo Zvoich smiled as he put away his phone, took off his still-blinking miner's helmet, and casually handed it to his assistant beside him.

The assistant skillfully took the helmet, and seeing the young president's delighted expression, couldn't help but ask:

"Excuse my intrusion, young master, did you manage to collect the ore you desired on this trip?"

"No, it's just that I happened to see a very interesting trainer online and I thought about getting to know him."

Daigo gently smoothed his short, light blue hair, which had been flattened by his helmet, then propped his elbow up, rested his chin on his hand, pondered for a moment, and asked in return:

"By the way, has your company ever been involved in the gaming industry?"

"To the young president, the company's business is mainly focused on electronic technology products and Pokémon fossil research, and we have not yet ventured into the gaming industry."

The assistant answered respectfully, but was secretly surprised.

The trainer that the young president would actively befriend... could it be a champion from another region?

Crimson or turquoise legend?

Or perhaps it's champion Adu?

Daigo's gentle voice interrupted his assistant's thoughts.

"If I remember correctly, a large natural mining area seems to have been discovered recently in the Kunlun Mountains of the Donghuang region?"

"That's right. It was discovered about a month and a half ago, when you were still in the underground mining area."

The assistant answered immediately.

"Have my father prepare some funds and tell him that I intend to develop the company into the gaming industry."

As Daigo spoke, he pulled out a deluxe ball from his waist and threw it out.

A flash of light, and the majestic Metagross appeared before him. He nimbly leaped onto Metagross's sturdy platform, muttering to himself.

"You're treating me to dinner... Well then, I'll make time to visit the Donghuang region."

……

Kanto region.

Shin-chan Town, Hanako Restaurant.

A passionate roar suddenly erupted from the second floor, shattering the afternoon tranquility.

"Gyarados - Outrage! Shirazu-san is so cool!"

The phone screen went dark.

Ash flung his triangular sleeping cap off his head, sat up abruptly, and looked at Pikachu beside him with shining eyes:

"It's decided! Let's travel to the Eastern Huang region next!"

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu was equally excited, giving a thumbs-up and nodding firmly.

"Even though we've already traveled to two regions, we're still so reckless."

A gentle voice rang out at just the right moment, pouring cold water on the two who were in the middle of their excitement.

"The Eastern Alliance Tournament hasn't started yet, so if you travel there now, you won't be able to participate!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw that the bedroom door had been opened at some point.

A gentle woman with an apron tied around her waist and a spatula in her hand stood at the door.

"Stop lying in bed! Come downstairs and eat. The food will get cold if you dawdle any longer."

"Oh, it's Mom... I know, I'll come down right away."

Xiao Zhi immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, answering listlessly.

Pikachu stood at attention and saluted, watching Hanako go downstairs.

On the table.

Seeing her son listlessly shoveling rice into his mouth, Hanako couldn't bear it. She sighed helplessly and took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"Ash, I don't think you've officially been certified as a Trainer yet, have you?"

"Yeah, Mom."

Xiao Zhi responded listlessly.

"Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Hmm... the Eastern Alliance Tournament isn't scheduled yet, but I think I heard there's a competition there recently specifically for new trainers."

Hanako paused, frowned, and pondered for a moment before adding:

"Although you have already participated in the alliance conferences of two regions, you should be eligible to participate since you do not have a certification level and your age meets the requirements. It would be a good choice to make it your goal for a short trip."

"Really?"

Ash instantly revived, jumped up, scooped up Pikachu who was still focused on eating, and rushed upstairs.

"Mom! I'm going to pack my things now!"

……

United States region.

The outskirts of Hinoki City.

Mingyi exited the closed live stream, found and followed the account called "Dream is a Retired Salted Fish," and then put her phone into her handbag.

After packing up the picnic supplies, she stood up, supporting herself with her beautifully shaped legs encased in black yoga pants, and stretched her body.

Her brown twin ponytails swayed gently with her movements.

The swaying trees cast dappled sunlight, outlining the girl's slender yet voluptuous figure.

"Hmm... Dreams actually exist! Salty Fish Teacher, really, you're so secretive about everything. I really want to ask you directly..."

She looked down at her feet.

"Hey, Snivy, what do you think about us going on a trip to the Eastern Empire first?"

Snivy raised its little head, clearly stunned for a moment, pondering where exactly the Eastern Huang region was.

"Never mind!"

Mingyi suddenly clenched her small fist and gave it a forceful shake in front of her chest, a movement that caused her full breasts to rise and fall slightly.

"Anyway, Donghuang is holding a competition for new trainers soon! I'll just treat it as a competition and come back afterward!"

"Teng Teng?"

……

Similar incidents are happening all over the place, and Bai Zhou, the instigator, is currently busy arguing with the system.

"Little A Assistant reminds you: The impact of the Contractor's actions has been detected, with a large number of individuals generating positive feedback. Statistics are currently being compiled and analyzed. Please wait..."

"Little A Assistant reminds you: Calculation Notes: The same type of positive feedback triggered by the same individual will reduce the BP point acquisition ratio to some extent."

"Little A Assistant reminds you: The live broadcast campaign garnered a total of 1008.5 BP points, with a projected subsequent impact of 4106.11 BP points."

"Little A's Assistant reminds you: The Pokémon launch event generated a total of 5412.21 BP points, and the subsequent impact is expected to generate 13112.11 BP points."

"Hiss... How terrifying—"

The release of Pokémon generated far more buzz than expected. Even though Bai Zhou was mentally prepared, the sheer volume of BP points still made his heart race.

"Adding what I saved before, I've broken the 20,000 mark..."

What does 20,000 mean?

The five-part Rayquaza!

Suppressing his excitement, Bai Zhou glanced at Gastly beside him, who was eating with grease on its face and looking blissfully satisfied. He decided to strike while the iron was hot and further expand his influence.

I got up, went to the computer, launched Pokémon, and started recording footage and editing the video.

He wants to take advantage of the strong momentum of the game's release to release the first video revealing the hidden storyline and collect as many BP points as possible.

Halfway through cutting, Bai Zhou suddenly felt a cool, gentle touch on his back.

Looking back, Gastly was mimicking a massage, kneading his back with its translucent gaseous hands.

Although the gas massage had almost no real sensation, and Bai Zhou didn't know where the little guy had learned it from, seeing its serious and earnest little appearance, Bai Zhou felt even more motivated.

Moon stars are rare.

After confirming that the edited video was fine, Bai Zhou clicked the upload button and then stretched lazily.

The Gastly in my arms was already fast asleep.

Bai Zhou gently poked its soft cheeks and carefully carried it back to bed.

Just as I finished washing up and was getting ready for bed.

My phone vibrated.

"Garuda and Ice Cream: Playing Games"

Bai Zhou blinked, then blinked again, wondering if he was hallucinating from sleepiness.

"My dream is to retire and be a salted fish: ?"
