"Player Xiao Chi Disconnects".

"Teacher Salty Fish! How did you do that?"

After leaving the Vermilion City Gym, Crimson finally couldn't contain her curiosity and asked the question that the viewers in the chat were most eager to know.

"Didn't Maslow make it very clear?"

Bai Zhou's voice remained calm as always.

"No rules means anything is possible. Haunter has been lurking in the shadows all along, and the Poké Ball I threw out... was just bait."

"Huh? You can do that?"

His small, red eyes were filled with huge question marks.

He paused for a moment, his tone suddenly becoming somewhat worried.

"Um...I hope Little Green will be alright?"

"Don't worry, it's just a misunderstanding. His grandfather is Professor Oak."

Bai Zhou casually remarked:

"Besides, do you think the title of 'Little Green Rival' is just for show? If he wants to leave, who can stop him besides us players?"

On the communication channel, Qinglu, who had been quietly fishing by the sea, heard this and her lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

"Let's go, let's head to Lavender Town..."

Before Bai Zhou could finish speaking, a panting figure rushed up to Xiao Bai and Xiao Chi and grabbed their hands.

He is the president of the Pokémon Club.

"Gentleman Old Man: Whew... Great! We made it! Amazing news! All our missing Pokémon have returned safely!"

"Gentlemanly Old Man: Oh, by the way! Casey also told me that things haven't been peaceful in Golden City lately! You guys have to be very careful while you're traveling!"

"Gentlemanly old man: Here, take this! It will definitely be of help!"

"Little White and Little Red received a bent spoon from the old gentleman!"

"Xiaobai and Xiaochi put the bent spoons into their prop pockets."

The gentlemanly old man came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Red was in a good mood after getting the new item. He controlled Little Red to follow behind Little White, and even his walk was a little bouncy.

The two headed east towards Kurenai City, but were stopped by a conspicuous wooden sign at the entrance to Highway 11.

"notify!"

"Route 12 is blocked by a sleeping Pokémon. Please detour through the Rocky Tunnel to Lavender Town."

"—Kuraba Police Station."

"The road is blocked by Pokémon?"

As Crimson looked at the sign, he hesitated whether to turn around and take a longer route, but was surprised to find that White Boat, controlling Little White, bypassed the sign and swaggered onto Highway 11.

"Don't forget we have the Pokémon Flute."

Bai Zhou's voice rang out at the right time, carrying a hint of common sense and certainty.

"Even without the flute, there are plenty of other ways. If you have a flying Pokémon, it can just fly you there. Why bother taking that detour?"

"So this sign is just for show? This is official fraud!"

"666! I've been tricked by capital! I'm the one who obediently took the two-hour detour through the Yanshan Tunnel!!!"

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! The malice of game design! Teacher Salty Fish teaches you to break free from fixed mindsets!"

"What's the use of a curved spoon? Is it for eating?"

"This is a battle item! This is a fake fan!"

Discussion in the comments section.

"A curved spoon, a tool imbued with special spiritual power."

As Bai Zhou steered Xiao Bai forward, he explained:

"When a Pokémon carrying this Pokémon uses a Psychic-type move, the power of that move will be significantly increased."

The two drove along Highway 11, stopping and starting as they went, and took care of a few trainers who jumped out of the bushes to rob them.

As they walked, Little Red, controlled by Red, suddenly stopped in front of a large mound of earth by the roadside.

There is a hole on the side of the mound, big enough for one person to pass through.

"This is a gopher burrow."

Before Chi Hong could ask any questions, Bai Zhou had already begun to explain.

"A network of underground tunnels dug by the mole clan. You can take a shortcut through here to Takahashi City. It's quite famous in the Kanto region and is considered a landmark."

"Oh, it's a gopher burrow..."

Red was somewhat moved, and controlled Little Red to peer inside cautiously.

But seeing that Xiaobai had already gone far away, he had no choice but to reluctantly give up exploring and plan to come back for archaeology another day.

Cross Highway 11 to reach the entrance to the 12 Sea Highway.

A furry figure, as big as a small mountain, was lying sprawled out in the middle of the road, snoring loudly.

It was a gigantic Snorlax, far exceeding the size of its ordinary counterparts!

Its round belly rose and fell with its breath, and the "Zzz" symbol representing sleep floated above its head, taking up almost half of the screen.

A voiceover prompt appears.

"Snorlax Lv.38"

"Ability: Thick Fat (Being protected by a thick layer of fat reduces the damage of Fire and Ice type moves by half.)"

"This Pokémon is sleeping soundly with its limbs outstretched."

"Kirby!"

Red cried out in surprise and controlled Little Red to circle around Snorlax.

However, just as his excited exclamation faded, a sound effect of a Poké Ball bouncing off came from the communicator.

This was immediately followed by panicked screams.

"Wait! Kirby! I didn't call you out! Wait! No! You're too heavy! This room can't handle... Ah—!!!"

Then came the sound of something collapsing.

The next second—

"Player Xiao Chi has disconnected."

No, we were just chatting happily, how come he suddenly disappeared?

Bai Zhou silently mourned for the unfortunate Crimson for a second, then controlled Little White to take action.

Xiaobai took out the various berries he had collected earlier and placed them in front of Snorlax one by one.

Then he blew the Pokémon Flute, and the melodious and clear flute music drifted along the sea highway.

Snorlax slowly woke up. It first looked blankly at the little white creature in front of it, tilted its head, and then noticed the berries in front of it, happily devouring them.

After patiently waiting for it to finish eating, Bai Zhou then steered Xiao Bai forward.

"Xiao Bai: Seeking partners, food and lodging provided, you'll never go hungry."

Snorlax looked down at White, savoring the berry from earlier, and nodded憨厚ly.

Then... he closed his eyes and fell asleep again in the middle of the road.

Bai Zhou smiled knowingly, then controlled Xiao Bai to throw a Great Ball, and Snorlax's figure disappeared instantly.

The ball wobbled three times in the air, produced a few sparks, and fell back into Xiaobai's hands.

"So that's how you wake it up and then feed it? I threw fifty Poké Balls at a sleeping Snorlax before!"

"Trading a bunch of berries for Snorlax's affections, Mr. Salty is really something!"

"Those who said that are too naive! Snorlax's stomach is connected to another dimension! Be prepared to go broke buying berries! (From the blood and tears of a young Snorlax trainer)"

"Where's Crimson Legend? That huge Crimson Legend was just here a moment ago! How did it suddenly disappear? My Crimson Treasure!"

The live stream room was still bustling with activity.

After the red light disconnected, Bai Zhou glanced at the deepening night outside the window and prepared to end his live stream for the day.

"Crimson Legend might be tired and has gone to rest early, but I'll still stay with everyone..."

Bai Zhou spoke casually, then suddenly paused, his speech quickening.

"My cabinet seems to have moved! That concludes today's live stream! Let's thank the two legends who participated in the live stream once again, and finally... Ghana~"

Before he could finish speaking, the live stream went black!

"Wait, wait! Bai—"

Suddenly, Qinglu spoke up on the communication channel, her voice rising sharply and filled with anxiety.

The powerful fishing rod on his screen was shaking violently.

Beneath the surface, a graceful serpentine figure was struggling frantically, about to break free of the water!

"Connection lost, game save in progress..."

What followed was a roar.

"I just caught a Dratini!!!"
