Chapter 318 Fire Goose: ...I know him...he...is very powerful.
Qi Shu took several deep breaths before he could barely calm his excited heartbeat.
She felt that the ups and downs of today's live stream, in terms of information density and emotional impact, were equivalent to the total of the past month's live streams!
From the mystery of the unknown totem to Suicune's relentless pursuit, and then to Arceus and the creation myth that touches upon the very origin of the world—
Every step of the process was wildly expanding the boundaries of her understanding of the world.
The thrill of discovery and the sense of cognitive upheaval that comes with uncovering ancient secrets, step by step, captivated her and even made her somewhat "addicted".
She had long since lost count of how many times she had lost control of her emotions today; all she knew was that she was completely "trapped" in it.
HeartGold/SoulSilver — Seriously, it's so much fun!
Just as the Strange Tree was controlling the Little Strange Tree, preparing to leave the ruins of Aluf with satisfaction.
Electric Frog, who had been quietly staying in the corner of her live stream room, served as her partner in the "atmosphere team".
Suddenly, it wobbled over and gently bumped her arm with its soft belly.
"Hmm? What's wrong, frog?"
Qi Shu turned his head and tilted it in confusion.
"Wow~ Beep!"
The electric-bellied frog patted its round belly, then stretched out its short little hand and pointed to the clock hanging on the wall.
The strange tree looked in the direction it was pointing, suddenly realized what it meant, and let out a cute exclamation.
"Ah! It's already this time?! Hmm—I see~"
The clock hands had quietly crossed the threshold of midnight, far exceeding the time when Qishu usually ended its broadcasts.
However, so engrossed in her adventure, she was completely unaware of the passage of time.
"Waaaah—today's live stream is really coming to an end~"
Qishu's eyes instantly welled up with tears, like an Eevee whose fruit had been stolen.
This reluctance to part is not a performance, but a genuine expression of emotion.
The game world was so captivating; she really wanted to continue exploring it.
Even though she was extremely reluctant to give up the game, reason told her that she had to stop and rest.
She still has the duties of a dojo master to fulfill today, and she cannot be absent without a valid reason.
Furthermore, there was a preview livestream about HeartGold/SoulSilver.
She has exceeded expectations today, even uncovering one of the ultimate secrets that even the authorities probably didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.
Exploring further might cross the line of "foresight" and go too far.
Although she knew that the salted fish sauce would definitely not blame her, and might even be happy about it, she was a girl who knew her limits.
She patted her cheeks hard, temporarily dispelling her weariness and lingering attachment.
Her face once again beamed with that energetic smile, and she waved enthusiastically at the camera.
"Above~"
"Capture your eye with an electric grid! Electric grid livestream host, who brings you the amazing stories? It's Qi Shu, my darling!"
"Everyone, that concludes tonight's adventure. Goodnight~"
Just as the live stream was about to go dark.
She suddenly playfully turned the camera around with both hands, filling the entire screen with a large, sweet smile, and added in an overwhelmingly sweet voice, "Remember to subscribe and follow the Qishu Qishu channel~ There will be amazing adventures waiting for you in the next live stream! Yay~"
The live stream has ended.
But the storm stirred up by this live broadcast has only just begun.
Even though Qishu has turned off the streaming, the tens of millions of views remaining in the live stream have not dissipated.
It still tells the story of how shocking everything that just happened was.
Everything about this live stream.
Arceus, the Genesis animation, the ruins of the capital, and outrageous quest rewards all spread wildly along the internet, instantly sweeping across major social media platforms.

—and other terms, which appeared out of nowhere and dominated the top of all trending lists, causing an unprecedented uproar!
Its popularity even surpassed the promotion of the upcoming blockbuster film by the Carlos regional champion, firmly holding the top spot on the trending topics list for a long time.
And the hype continues to grow wildly.
A nationwide discussion about creation myths, sparked by a game, has begun.
Hoenn region.
World Environment Organization, Office of the Executive Director.
The indoor lighting was dim. Chi Yansong leaned back on the sofa, his hands casually resting on the desk with his fingers interlaced.
His brows were furrowed, his gaze calm, as he stared intently at the large screen that occupied the entire wall in front of him.
On the screen, two videos are playing in split-screen mode.
On the left is a recording of an earlier "Comprehensive Maritime Competition".
The breathtaking scene of Bai Zhou commanding the mysterious dragon named "Zigeld" to pierce through the sea with a single blow was so powerful and destructive that it seemed to overflow the screen.
-
On the right is a replay of last night's live broadcast from the Qishu Qishu Channel.
The screen freezes on the in-game animation of "Arceus creating the world".
Even after both videos finished playing and the screen automatically switched to standby mode, the Crimson Pine remained in a contemplative posture.
Standing next to the giant projector, a young man with gloomy eyes and a cold demeanor stepped forward at the right moment and opened the folder he had been holding.
He is the Hokage, a man who recently joined an environmental organization and quickly became the assistant to the chairman of the Red Flame Pine thanks to his outstanding intelligence analysis skills.
"President."
The Hokage's voice was calm, neither fast nor slow.
"Based on the information we have collected and verified so far, the legendary Pokémon that Dr. Shirafusa is commanding is named Zygarde."
"Its specific ecology and capabilities are not yet fully clear, but the level of strength it has demonstrated is extremely high."
He paused, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Furthermore, intelligence from various sources indicates—"
"hey-hey!
77
A casual laugh interrupted the Hokage without any politeness.
The burly man standing opposite the Hokage, a broad, uninhibited smile on his face, interjected, "Boss, you'd never guess! This Dr. Shirafusa is actually the inspiration for that handsome researcher from the Pokémon games! Hahaha!"
"Himura! You!"
The Hokage glared at Himura with some displeasure, his eyes growing even more gloomy, but in the end he just pursed his lips and didn't lash out.
He turned to the Crimson Pine Tree and continued to supplement his report in a professional tone.
"As Himura said, the current clues are highly overlapping."
"Based on the analysis of existing data, almost all the information about legendary Pokémon revealed in the Pokémon series games is strongly related to Dr. Shirafusa."
"We speculate that there is an over 80% probability that the real-life prototype for the game character, the handsome researcher, is Dr. Shirafusa himself."
"And most notably—"
The Hokage's tone became more forceful.
The theoretical basis for the "Arceus's creation myth that caused a sensation in the game" is precisely the core viewpoint that Dr. Bai Zhou publicly presented at the Dragon City Academic Summit!
"This theory has already received preliminary recognition from several regional authorities, including Dr. Oki."
Report complete.
The Hokage swiftly closed the folder, took a half step back, and resumed his silent, standing posture.
Himura made no attempt to hide his smirk and rolled his eyes in the direction of the Hokage.
He has never liked this dull and oppressive atmosphere.
"Boss, nothing else? I'm off tonight. Those guys are waiting for me to train them!"
Himura gestured to Akahama, who nodded slightly in response, before striding away from the office without looking back.
"Um--
The Crimson Flame Pine finally spoke from its long silence.
He closed his eyes, seemingly weighing something, his fingertips tapping unconsciously on the desk.
A moment later, he opened his eyes, his gaze returning to its usual calm.
"Naruto".
He ordered, "Go and bring that idiot back to me—"
He paused, then added.
"And while you're at it, call Huoyan over too."
"yes!"
The Hokage responded swiftly, turned and left quickly to carry out the order.
It took no more than five minutes in total.
There was another knock on the office door, but the sound was very soft.
"Come in."
After receiving permission, the door was pushed open, and a petite figure walked in.
She had short, flowing, dark purple hair, wore a well-fitting organization uniform, and held a slim tablet computer in her hands.
She looked listless, her delicate face expressionless, radiating a coldness that seemed out of place for her age.
It was Huo Yan, the youngest cadre in the organization, who was known for her genius-level scientific research abilities.
Chi Yansong glanced at her, but offered no further pleasantries.
He simply pushed the clear photo of Bai Zhou at the academic summit, which had been specially printed out on the table, to the other side of the table with his finger.
Huoyan's gaze naturally fell on the photograph.
She stepped forward, picked up the photo, and quietly examined it.
The young man in the photo has bright eyes and a unique temperament, making him stand out even among many PhDs.
After watching her for a while, Chi Yansong slowly spoke.
"His name is Shiraishu, and on the surface, he is a PhD with achievements in the field of mythology."
"But according to reliable information, he is also a legendary Pokémon trainer and has a close relationship with the Pokémon named Zygarde."
He observed Huoyan's reaction and continued in a straightforward tone, "You are both in the field of scientific research, so you naturally have common topics to discuss."
"I hope you can approach him under the guise of academic exchange or collaboration, try to gain his trust, and ideally become his research assistant or collaborator."
Crimson Pine paused for a moment, then threw out the real bait, which was also the core objective of the mission.
"We have reason to believe that he most likely possesses clues about the whereabouts of Groudon, the Earth God, therefore—"
He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning couldn't be clearer.
Despite hearing Chi Yansong's words, Huo Yan's face remained expressionless as she quietly gazed at the photograph in her hand.
However, upon closer inspection, one might notice a subtle ripple passing through the depths of her perpetually dull eyes.
The corners of her mouth twitched almost imperceptibly upwards, forming a fleeting, faint curve.
"————Yes————I understand."
Fire Goose finally uttered a simple syllable in response.
Then, she actually took the photo, turned around, and walked towards the door without saying a word.
After taking a couple of steps, she seemed to remember something and added a sentence in a low voice with little variation.
"I know him—he's very capable."
After she finished speaking, the door was gently closed, and her figure disappeared outside.
Chi Yansong looked in the direction Huo Yan had left with some surprise, and a rare twitch appeared on his serious expression.
Did she just laugh?
Although it's very faint, I shouldn't be seeing things, right?
Based on his understanding of Huo Yan's almost autistic and aloof personality, he was already mentally prepared to be politely rejected by her with excuses such as "being busy with research."
I really didn't expect her to agree so readily.
Decisive and efficient, even subtly revealing a sense of positivity?
But let's go then.
Suddenly remembering something, Crimson Pine rubbed his temples with a hint of helplessness.
You should at least leave a photo!
He had to put in some effort to print that high-resolution image; he'd need it when he met with Shui Wutong later.
As he was thinking, the office door was once again pushed open with a loud "bang" without any politeness.
Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.
"Hahaha! I heard from my underlings that you were looking for me? What's the rush, Crimson Pine? I'm busy with my grand plan to 'expand the ocean'!"
Shui Wutong strode in and plopped down on the single sofa next to Chiyansong, sinking deep into it.
Then, his gaze was immediately drawn to the images on the large screen opposite him.
"Hey! Isn't this that... that god again?"
"Oh! I remember now! Arceus, the creator god, right?"
Shui Wutong slapped her thigh, her voice booming.
"I just saw it in the league's push notification this morning! It actually looks pretty convincing!"
Chi Yansong's carefully maintained serious expression was about to crumble again, and he glared at Shui Wutong with displeasure.
"I called you here to discuss serious business! Be serious!"
"Tch~ So serious."
Shui Wutong spread her hands, completely unconcerned, and instead crossed her legs.
"By the way! I recently hired a group of great guys, all of them passionate about the ocean! Give me a bit more of your budget, the equipment needs upgrading!"
"Budget? You dare mention a budget!"
A tic-tac-toe sign appeared on Chi Yansong's forehead as he barely resisted the urge to throw the teacup at him.
"I sent you to deal with Daigo and gather some information on Mega Stones, and what did you do? You almost got into a fight with the Devon Corporation! Funds are already tight, and you still want to hire people and buy equipment?!"
"How can you blame me? Those Devon guys are so arrogant!"
The water sycamore is perfectly justified.
Chi Yansong took a deep breath and decided to stop getting entangled in the details with this muscle-brained person, lest he be led astray, and simply cut straight to the core.
"I've received reliable intelligence—Groudon, we have a lead."
"What?!"
Shui Wutong's playful expression vanished instantly, and she sprang up from the sofa with a whoosh, her massive body exuding an aura of oppression.
He even grabbed Chi Yansong by the collar in excitement, lifting him up as well, his eyes shining.
"What about Kyogre?! Have you asked him?! Are there any clues about Kyogre?!"
