Chapter 75
"Start Broadcasting, Come Quickly!"
The Ghost-type Energy Tide event has finally come to a successful conclusion.
Zhu Lan deservedly won the MVP award, and Bai Zhou, as the champion's close bodyguard, also gained some popularity and attention.
At this point, he had something to say.
Why do you approve of this rating system so much?
Ah ~
It will alienate people's efforts.
above……
Bai Zhou's happiness didn't last long.
The mission is over, which means Cynthia will soon be returning to the Sinnoh region.
Although she was very interested in the subsequent work of cultural relic restoration, as a champion, she had to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities while enjoying the rights.
Dr. Oak wasn't in a hurry to leave; apparently, he was going to Dragon City to attend an academic summit in a while.
Private waiting room at Di'an City Airport.
Garchomp efficiently sorted, packed, and stuffed a mountain of luggage into its suitcase.
Gengar floats to the side, helping to deliver small items, working together seamlessly.
Zhu Lan, carrying two cups of coffee, gracefully walked to Bai Zhou, who was gazing out the window.
"so……"
Zhu Lan's voice carried a hint of inquiry as she handed one of the cups of coffee to Bai Zhou.
"Aren't you going to tell me your little secrets?"
Bai Zhou took the coffee, symbolically took a small sip, and revealed a mask of pain.
He has never liked bitter drinks.
Life is tough enough as it is, so we need to find some sweetness in other ways.
"actually……"
Bai Zhou put down his coffee cup, his face serious.
"I am the savior chosen by Arceus. After completing the task of saving the world, he sent me to this world to enjoy my retirement."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Lan rolled her eyes with a captivating charm.
She gently blew away the steam from the surface of her coffee, took an elegant sip, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
A man who lies constantly.
Garchomp is better; it doesn't lie.
"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."
Zhu Lan put down her coffee cup and changed the subject.
"Also, when do you plan to visit Sinnoh?"
These days, nobody believes you when you tell the truth.
Bai Zhou inwardly grumbled, watching Gengar float over with a reluctant expression after packing its luggage, and speechlessly pinched its big face.
Why do I feel like you're even more reluctant to part with it than I am?
Meeting Zhu Lan's clear, bright eyes, Bai Zhou suppressed his distracting thoughts and said with a carefree air:
"Unless there are special circumstances, after I finish what I'm doing, I'll take Gengar on a trip to Sinnoh. It might be a while before we can see each other again."
He hadn't known Cynthia for long, and although he felt a little reluctant to part with her, he couldn't act as carefree as Gengar.
"Really?"
Zhu Lan tilted her head slightly, a meaningful smile curving her lips.
"I feel...maybe not."
Before Bai Zhou could react, she called out to Garchomp again:
"Let's go, it's time to set off."
"Rumble—"
Garchomp responded and deftly stacked the last box.
As Bai Zhou watched Zhu Lan's slender and upright figure gradually disappear into the distance, a sense of sorrow about parting began to well up in his heart.
Before the worries could even fester, they were shattered into dust by a sudden telepathic message from the Liekongzuo coiled around her neck.
"So, you're in heat?"
A vein throbbed on Bai Zhou's forehead as anger welled up inside him, and he retorted sharply.
To shut up!
If you can't speak, donate your mouth to a Pokémon that needs it!
……
That evening, Bai Zhou sat down in front of his computer, preparing to start his live stream after a long absence.
However, he didn't turn on his camera this time. The real streamer, Gengar, is currently in his shadow "rectifying the court" with the ghost Pokémon and doesn't have time to show his face.
Before the broadcast, Bai Zhou planned to recruit a few strong companions in the chat group to act as his henchmen, since more people means more power (just kidding) and the show would be more entertaining.
I opened my phone and saw a lively chat in the group.
"The fighter:..."
"Fighter: @Nurturer"
"The one who nurtured him: ?"
"Fighter: I heard the professor gave Bai Zhou a special Pokédex entry. What is his title ability? I need to prepare in advance."
Wait, I understand you're asking about my title and abilities, since we're all special encyclopedia holders, but what do you mean by preparing in advance?
Bai Zhou raised an eyebrow slightly.
You're not really planning to reveal your true self offline, are you?
Surely not...
It doesn't matter, Gengar will take action.
……
Shadow space.
Gengar suddenly sneezed without warning, and looked around in confusion with its big head raised.
"Genga?"
Even I, a ghost, can sneeze?
(ŎдŎ?)
……
The group chat was still flooded with messages.
"Ceramic Mermaid: Did he only get the title now? I thought he had it a long time ago."
"Kuroba Port Transport Captain: Title? Come to think of it, I'm the big boss of Kuroba City."
"Fighter: @CeramicMermaid, I also thought the Doctor had given it to me a while ago, but it was only recently."
"Nurturer: Where did you hear that from?"
"Fighter: @Evolver"
"Evolved Being: Little Red! You betrayed me so easily! You just wait!"
"The Fighter: Huh? Can't I say?"
"The person who nurtured him: The old man did indeed give Bai Zhou a special Pokédex, as for his title ability..."
"The one who nurtures: The old man's words were all very vague, talking about things like representing hope and symbolizing miracles. It all sounded very mysterious."
"Fighter: Ah! I'm getting more and more excited for my all-out battle with Shiraishu-san!"
That's a bit too much talk, Green.
And you, Crimson, we're just online friends!
Bai Zhou remained silent, only peering at the screen.
At this moment, Little Yellow suddenly popped up.
"The Healer: Um... actually, you could just ask Brother Shiraishu..."
"A fighter:!"
"Fighter: Thank you, Little Yellow! You're a good person! @DreamIsRetiredSaltedFish"
"The one who nurtured him: an idiot."
"The one who received the healing: You're welcome..."
Bai Zhou knew he could no longer go diving.
"The person who dreams of retiring and being a salted fish has changed their group nickname to 'Rainbow Person'."
"Rainbow Person: The title the Doctor gave me is Rainbow. As for my specific abilities, I'm not too sure, but I have reason to suspect... that I don't actually have any special abilities at all."
"The one who nurtures: Rainbow?"
"The Nurturer: An interesting name. A rainbow is composed of seven colors of the spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Each color represents a pure energy. So, does the rainbow, which combines all the colors, mean... omnipotence? An omnipotent being?"
"The one who nurtures: At least from the trainer's qualities and knowledge of training you have shown, this explanation seems quite reasonable."
"The Fighter: That makes sense!"
"Kuraba Port Transport Captain: All-rounder???"
"Ceramic Mermaid: That's amazing..."
"Rock Solid: A Real Man!"
Am I that amazing?
How come I didn't know?
Stop bragging, stop bragging.
If I keep blowing like this, I'll start to get scared myself.
Fearing that Qinglu might say something outrageous again, Baizhou quickly changed the subject.
"Rainbow Person: Getting off topic, during the live stream later, we are sincerely recruiting two skilled, positive, and resilient game companions. First come, first served, excellent compensation (referring to moral encouragement)."
"Fighters: 1"
"The person who nurtured me: I have something to do and cannot come."
"The Evolved One: I'll Go!"
"Rainbow Person: @Breeder, there is a special fishing spot for Dratini, which is located at Mt. Tsukimi."
"The one who nurtured him: OK"
……
Everything is ready. Live stream name:
"Start broadcasting, come quick!"
