Chapter 179 Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!

Cerulean City, Kanto Region.

Blue was dispatched by Giovanni to carry out the mission of "recruiting and reorganizing former Team Rocket personnel".

Right now, I'm leisurely hiding in a lounge at the Cerulean Gym, taking a break.

However, she wasn't worried about the mission's progress at all.

The former Rockets underlings who were won over by her "personal charm" (and a few tricks).

Naturally, she will handle the "KPIs" she sets perfectly.

She only needs to show up occasionally to act as a "supervisor," be responsible for looking beautiful, and watch Red and Ash's Pokémon live streams to pass the time.

However, watching the scene of the pink and dreamy creature flying affectionately around the white boat in the live broadcast, Xiao Lan's forehead veins couldn't help but throb.

An unnatural blush appeared on her fair and delicate face.

I'm so angry.

She only breathed a sigh of relief, filled with resentment, after the live stream ended and the screen went black.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! The dream was right there beside him all along!"

Xiao Lan gritted her teeth and pounded the soft sofa cushions.

"They even lied to me, saying they only knew vague information about the trail of the Dream! They've been lying to me for so long! They've cheated me out of so much 'free labor'!"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt cheated, and the angrier she became.

Xiao Lan, who roamed the Kanto region, was always the one who deceived others and made them run around in circles!

Unexpectedly, they were caught off guard and "played" by Bai Zhou, a seemingly harmless guy, for so long!

the most important is!

She only realized the truth now, belatedly, through the live stream!

This is practically her entire career of scamming...

No, it's a disgrace to a wise life!

I can't stand even a little bit of it!

"No! He must pay the price he deserves!"

Xiao Lan muttered to herself angrily, then pulled out her phone, skillfully found Bai Zhou's number, and hovered her finger over the dial button, ready to call and confront him directly.

But just as her fingertips were about to press down, she suddenly stopped.

It's not that I'm giving up on revenge.

But then she suddenly remembered that, based on her understanding of Bai Zhou, even if she called him now to confront him, she would definitely not get any real benefit.

After all, being "deceived" is a thing of the past, and Bai Zhou is now far away in the Donghuang region, thousands of miles away.

At most, they can only gain some advantage verbally and satisfy their ego.

What are the actual benefits?

Not a single hair!

"That's such a waste!"

Little Blue pouted, her eyes darting around, gleaming with a cunning light.

"Throat! Got it!"

Her eyes lit up suddenly, and she decisively pulled out her special catalog from her small handbag, which she always carried with her and contained various "little props".

I skillfully turned on the computer and logged into the Pokémon game.

Since you so confidently promised to "lead me to the dream world,"

So now, isn't it time to fulfill the promise?

Although my grand ambition to find my dream in reality has been temporarily thwarted, but—

In the Pokémon games, becoming the first trainer to form a bond with Mew doesn't seem so bad!

The thought of becoming the first player in the game to capture Mew, and then being able to summon this legendary Pokémon to show off to those "mortals" anytime, anywhere...

A smug smile, tinged with a hint of "pervert" tendencies, involuntarily crept onto Xiao Lan's face.

Seemingly feeling that such an expression was detrimental to her image as a beautiful young woman, she quickly reached out and elegantly wiped away non-existent drool from the corner of her mouth.

"Hmph~"

She cleared her throat and muttered to herself in a tone that said, "I've given you a huge favor":

"Since it's all for the sake of fantasy—then I'll reluctantly play the game with you a little longer—"

As she spoke, she took out her phone, found Bai Zhou's chat window, and began to edit a message.

Fingers tap and doodle on the screen, writing and deleting, deleting and writing again.

She pondered for several minutes, her face occasionally flashing with hesitation and a hint of barely perceptible shyness.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she pressed the send button forcefully, "Evolved One: Cough—White Boat! It's time to keep the promise you made to me! Take me to play Pokémon! Take me to Mew! Otherwise—otherwise I'll tell them that you made me scam Red and Blue!"

The Padiya region.

Niangguang City, Niangguang Dojo.

The strange tree wrapped itself up like a giant blanket, with only a small head peeking out from the top.

Her signature pink and blue hair looked a little messy from rubbing against her, like a cat that had just woken up.

She blinked her large, captivating eyes, her eyes glued to the live stream replay on her phone screen.

His lips would occasionally curl upwards uncontrollably, emitting a silly "hehe" laugh.

"Dreamy~ Hehehe~ My dream~ It's so cute~"

To capture every adorable moment of the dreamlike scene, she even dragged the progress bar several times.

I watched the scenes of her dreamlike entrance, her flight, and her brushing against the handsome researcher's cheek repeatedly, my eyes sparkling.

"This is so cute! I really want to sneak it home and hide it away—"

She muttered to herself, then shook her head violently, as if trying to shake off the dangerous thought.

"No, no! Qishu, you can't do this! You have to rely on your own strength!"

But the next second, an even more tempting idea popped up like a bubble.

"But—as the game producer, Mr. Salty Fish should know where Dream is in the game, right? If we could ask him—"

The thought had barely formed when it was immediately suppressed by the remaining "gaming ethics" within her.

"No, no! You can't do that! That's cheating! It's unfair to the other players!"

Her voice grew softer and softer, increasingly lacking confidence.

Just then, it was as if a little devil version of Qishu, with a sharp horn tail and holding a small fork, appeared out of thin air next to her left ear.

Whisper in a seductive voice.

"How could it be cheating?"

"This is clearly just making good use of the available information resources to efficiently achieve the game's objectives—it's as simple as looking up a walkthrough when you're stuck on a level in a game. It doesn't count as cheating at all! What are you waiting for?"

"Just imagine~ A lovely dream is beckoning to you from there~ Pink and soft~"

"What's more—just imagine! In a future gym livestream, suddenly summoning the legendary Pokémon Mew in the game! The entertainment value! The popularity! It would absolutely ignite the entire audience! The subscription numbers for 'Strange Trees and Strange Tales Channel' would definitely skyrocket!"

Kiju listened blankly to the "devil's whispers" in his mind, unconsciously swallowing a mouthful of saliva, his eyes gradually shifting from struggle to determination.

The Frog, resting nearby, watched its trainer's strange behavior: sometimes shaking its head, sometimes talking to itself, and sometimes having its eyes shining.

Confused, it patted its round belly and made a "gurgling" sound.

Is Qishu-chan hallucinating because she's been too tired from live streaming lately?

Should we suggest she go see Miss Joey for a checkup?

But I don't think I can be of much help; I'm just a silly electric frog. "Hmm! That's right! The little devil is right! That makes sense!"

Qishu finally convinced himself and nodded vigorously.

She immediately took out her phone, opened the chat interface with Teacher Salty Fish, and decisively sent a game invitation message.

"Strange Trees and Strange Tales Channel: Moshi Moshi ~ Salted Fish Sauce ~ Are you asleep? Are you asleep? (√) If you're not asleep yet..."

Um—could you take me to find the adorable Mew in Pokémon? Please, please—this is a once-in-a-lifetime request! (clasps hands and blinks frantically.gif)

Donghuang region.

Dragon City Research Institute, Premium Guest Room Area.

Several days have passed since the Dragon City Summit that caused a sensation in the academic world.

However, many renowned PhDs and senior researchers from around the world did not immediately return to their respective regions.

The reason was simple: Bai Zhou's theories about "Legendary Pokémon" and "World Authority" presented at the summit were so groundbreaking that everyone wanted to find an opportunity to have an in-depth discussion with this young academic star.

At this moment, in an elegantly decorated guest room.

Zhu Lan gently put down the notebook filled with dense annotations and thoughts.

The above details her interpretation of the White Boat Summit speech, her extended conjectures, and her comparison with the Sinnoh mythology.

She stretched leisurely, her elegant curves fully revealed under the light, and casually turned off the live stream page that had been hanging beside her as background music.

Although she had been focusing most of her attention on her academic notes, the appearance of Mew and Mewtwo during the live stream successfully caught her eye.

Dreamy is indeed very cute and full of mystery.

But for some reason, Mewtwo, who exuded a cold, powerful, and oppressive aura, captivated her even more.

This piqued her interest.

In particular, Mewtwo displayed an absolute sense of power and near-dominant performance when it easily suppressed and controlled the "Legendary Birds" in a one-against-three battle.

It startled even the champion.

Even though this is just in a game, Cynthia firmly believes that with Shiraishu's personality and understanding of legendary Pokémon, he would never speak without reason.

As the producer of this game and the originator of the "Legendary Pokémon Theory," his design of Mewtwo must have had profound meaning and considerations.

Therefore, the power levels exhibited by Mewtwo in the game.

This most likely reflects Bai Zhou's certain assessment of his strength in reality, or even a conservative assessment.

The concept of artificial legendary Pokémon is itself full of contradictions and appeal.

"Rumble—"

Garchomp, which had been standing quietly behind Cynthia like a guard, noticed that its trainer's attention seemed to be completely drawn to the purple and white "artificial object" on the screen.

Finally, it let out a low growl of dissatisfaction, flicking its sharp, fin-like arms to assert its presence.

"Um?"

Cynthia smiled slightly, turned her head, and saw Garchomp's awkward "I am the strongest" expression, and couldn't help but smile.

Reach out and gently stroke the hard, yellow, pointed horn below its head.

"What's wrong, Garchomp? Do you, like me, crave a thrilling battle against that rival named Mewtwo?"

"Rumble!"

Garchomp nodded vigorously, a competitive flame burning in its eyes.

"What a pity—"

Zhu Lan's tone carried a hint of regret as she looked out the window.

"Since Team Rocket disbanded, all clues and information about Mewtwo seem to have vanished into thin air. Finding it is probably—."

Her voice suddenly stopped.

wrong!

There's definitely someone who knows something about Mewtwo!

Bai Zhou!

Her eyes lit up instantly, but then the light dimmed slightly.

What reason should I use to ask him?

Asking directly "Where is Mewtwo?" seems too abrupt and utilitarian.

Lancea's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table unconsciously, her gaze inadvertently falling on the Pokédex on the corner of the table.

"Garuda, do you think it's feasible for me to find Bai Zhou and challenge Mewtwo in the game?"

A thought flashed through my mind like lightning.

Garchomp.

She turned her head to look at her old partner, a hint of cunning eagerness in her eyes.

"What do you think—if I invited Shiraishu to challenge Mewtwo's stats in a Pokémon game—would that be a good idea?"

Upon hearing this, Garchomp actually crossed its arms and tilted its huge head to think, as if it were doing something quite serious.

Bai Zhou?

Oh, that man who cooks so well and is also very intelligent!

I think there's no problem!

This is a good opportunity to test the waters of that arrogant "man-made product" in the game first!

"Rumble!"

It let out a low, confident growl.

"Okay, then it's decided that way."

Zhu Lan smiled charmingly and immediately took out her phone.

But when she opened Bai Zhou's chat box and was typing halfway through, she suddenly stopped.

She thoughtfully put her phone back into the pocket of her fitted black trench coat, a smile with a hint of "hunting" on her face.

"I almost forgot, we haven't gone back to Sinnoh yet—some requests are better made in person to show more sincerity."

She stood up gracefully, straightened her clothes, put away her notebook and Pokédex, and then, with her battle-ready Garchomp, walked calmly out of the room.

The direction seems to indicate the area where Shiraishu's dormitory is located.

Inside the research institute's dormitory.

"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!"

Bai Zhou, who had sneezed three times in a row, rubbed his slightly red nose, looking completely bewildered.

"Strange. Who's talking about me? Did I catch a cold last night?"

He shook his head, his attention quickly drawn to the semi-transparent data panel that popped up in front of him by his classmate, Xiao A.

"Settlement for this live stream: 3150.77 BP points"

More than 3150 BP points?!

Bai Zhou's eyes widened.

This was a live stream in which he didn't participate at all!

How could Red and Ash have amassed such a huge amount of BP points solely through their performance?

This far exceeded his expectations!

He decisively reached out and grabbed Gengar, who was behind him diligently massaging his shoulders with its chubby paws, pulling its round body right in front of him.

Bai Zhou interrogated him with a "serious" expression:

"Tell me the truth! What earth-shattering thing happened during the live stream just now? Did you guys pull some big stunt behind my back?"

"Feeding! Eyes feeding~ Eyes one-one"

Gengar was startled when it was suddenly lifted up, but it immediately began to "explain" with great enthusiasm and gestures, its chubby face full of excitement.
