Chapter 1: The Livestream Begins!
“I got the Pink Badge!”
Xiao Zhi excitedly raised the Pink Badge in his hand towards the sky.
“Hehe! I am indeed a genius!”
“Only two more badges, and I’ll have all eight!”
This achievement was enough to make a young boy who had just left Pallet Town and had been traveling for less than a few months, incredibly proud.
Xiao Zhi happily pinned the Pink Badge on the inside of his clothes, crossed his arms, and proudly displayed his achievement to his companions.
Seeing this, Xiaoxia couldn't help but unleash her sharp tongue.
“Humph! What are you so proud of? Most of those badges were just given to you!”
“It’s not like you’re that amazing!”
Xiaoxia was usually quiet, but when she spoke, she always shocked everyone.
Xiao Zhi was rendered speechless.
Xiao Zhi instantly recalled how he had gotten his badges.
During his battle with the Pewter Gym, Xiao Zhi was a rookie, completely clueless about type matchups and battle rules. He ended up getting the Gray Badge as a gift from Xiao Gang.
The three sisters of the Cerulean Gym had no interest in fighting, and Xiao Zhi and Xiaoxia ended up drawing. Since Xiao Zhi drove away Team Rocket, they gave him the Blue Badge.
The Golden Gym Leader was the psychic girl, Nashi. Xiao Zhi was no match for her strength, and only with the help of his Gastly was he able to receive the Gold Badge.
The Rainbow Gym...cough, cough, to get this badge, Xiao Zhi even went so far as to dress as a girl and infiltrate the gym, but still lost the match. The Gym Leader, Risa, gifted Xiao Zhi the Rainbow Badge for helping her put out a fire.
Out of the six badges, four of them were gifted to him due to various reasons.
Only the Orange Badge and this Pink Badge were earned by Xiao Zhi through his own strength.
“Well…but I did put in a lot of effort to get these badges…”
The previously arrogant Xiao Zhi dropped his hands, his eyes becoming watery, like a helpless and pitiful puppy.
Xiaoxia choked.
She was the one who usually roasted Xiao Zhi the most.
But seeing Xiao Zhi hang his head in dejection, she was the first to feel conflicted.
“I…I’m not saying you’re not strong…it’s just that you’re a little…” could you tone it down a bit…
Before Xiaoxia finished, Xiao Zhi had already cheered up and bounced back.
“I knew Xiaoxia was just messing with me. I’m still really strong, right?!”
Seeing Xiao Zhi’s tail wagging again, Xiaoxia stood there speechless.
Damn it!
Her momentary soft heart had been thrown to the dogs!
Xiao Gang’s narrowed eyes crinkled with amusement as he patted Xiaoxia on the shoulder.
“Pfft…Alright, alright. You know Xiao Zhi’s personality. He’s always been like this.”
“Hmm, I wonder when he’ll finally mature.”
“I don’t know, maybe he’ll get better with age.”
Xiao Gang shook his head helplessly as he spoke.
Xiaoxia angrily turned her head, glaring at Xiao Zhi, her tone harsh.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
“Xiao Zhi’s reckless personality will never change!”
Xiaoxia’s words were decisive and resolute.
Xiao Gang smiled enigmatically.
Hmm.
Imagine Xiao Zhi as mature and calm…
Ugh!
Unthinkable!
As the embodiment of recklessness, enthusiasm, and impulsiveness, Xiao Zhi could never be associated with the term "mature and calm"!
Unknowingly, Xiaoxia and Xiao Gang’s thoughts had completely converged.
It was as if to contradict their thoughts.
An unexpected event quietly descended.
A white curtain of light appeared in front of the three who were moving forward.
Pikachu stopped, tilted its head, and looked at the transparent white curtain.
“Pika?”
It twitched its long ears, its eyes filled with puzzlement.
They didn’t know that.
Similar scenes were happening all over the world.
In Kanto, Johto, Orange Islands, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, and so on… not a single place was left out.
Professor Oak, who was playing in the backyard of the research institute with the Pokémon; Dama Lanqi, who was leisurely drinking tea and basking in the sun; Ghetsis, who was flying around the world with his three… well, not fat, but huge, Dragonite; Shirona, who was training shirtless with her Tyranitar in the mountains; and Dandi, who was attending events wearing a cloak full of advertisements…
They all saw the same white curtain of light in front of them.
Everyone simultaneously stopped what they were doing and looked up at the curtain.
Before they could speak, a picture appeared on the white curtain.
A platinum-colored Pokémon, resembling a horse but also a Qilin, leapt into the air. Countless beams of light tore through the darkness, revealing the rudimentary form of the world.
Then, three enormous creatures whose appearance defied description emerged. In plain sight, the time and space in the world started to flow.
A gold and green dragon-shaped creature soared into the sky.
The massive gold and blue whale, with its powerful fins, created oceans wherever it went.
The gigantic gold and red creature slowly walked forward. Lava flowed, volcanoes erupted, and wherever it passed, land formed.
One scene after another, these awe-inspiring images left everyone speechless.
“This…what is this?!”
Xiao Zhi gasped, his jaw nearly dropping off.
Pikachu was so frightened by the aura emanating from the scene that it jumped onto Xiao Zhi’s shoulder, trembling, but still couldn’t help but peek its little head out to look.
Xiaoxia took several steps back before finally regaining her balance.
Xiao Gang’s eyes widened in shock, his narrowed eyes opening like bells.
More unfamiliar, legendary Pokémon appeared on the screen.
Even if it was only for a second or two, it was enough for those who knew about these legendary Pokémon to recognize them.
“Groudon! That’s Groudon! The legendary ruler who created the land!” A man wearing a red tracksuit, known as Flint, looked at the screen with shining eyes.
“Kyogre! That’s Kyogre! The ruler of the oceans, Kyogre!” A man in a blue tracksuit, known as Wallace, looked at the screen with eyes full of ambition and desire.
“Mew! That pink figure must be Mew! Mew really exists! I’m going to catch it!” A certain rich man was brimming with confidence.
Unlike the excitement of those ambitious individuals, the surprise of ordinary people, and the curiosity of trainers, Dama Lanqi, as the president of the Pokémon League, was incredibly serious.
“Is this another scheme by some organization?”
Dama Lanqi was the first to suspect those evil organizations. They were all troublemakers.
Before Dama Lanqi could contact the Champions and the Elite Four, the curtain provided an answer.
