"Sorry for making everyone worry. We lost signal last night due to the weather."
Lin Siyu calmed herself down and started the stream.
(Oh! The Streamer is alive! I knew the Streamer was safe and sound.)
(Yeah! The weather was perfectly clear yesterday, then it suddenly changed and scared us all.)
(Huh? Where's Sister Fei Xiao? Streamer, how come we don't see Sister Fei Xiao anywhere?)
"Well, Sister Fei Xiao... has some business..."
"So she'll catch up with us soon, don't worry, everyone."
The two of them tried their best to smooth things over.
Next...
"Just walking is a bit boring, so we'll take you to check out other streams."
After saying that, Lin Siyu fiddled with her phone while following Grovyle.
Grovyle was just curious about what these two were doing with that brick-like thing, but it didn't interfere.
Still, its gaze drifted toward them unconsciously.
Bulbasaur watched its friend's gaze, not knowing what the other was thinking.
...
Next, through a normal "coincidence," the two clicked into Brother Yang's stream.
(Hmm? Another Pokémon Streamer. Are there more than one expert?)
(Bullshit, they are obviously just a Mimic of our Sister Fei Xiao.)
(That's right, the only Pokémon Streamer I recognize is our Sister Fei Xiao.)
"Thank you for your support, but we only have a little bit of knowledge; it's not like we're the only ones who can stream."
"However, I'd still like to advise everyone: since people don't know enough about most Pokémon yet, it's best not to go to dangerous places like this Streamer is doing."
Lin Siyu and her friend secretly @-ed someone.
Next, they "coincidentally" opened the stream recording.
"Ah! This Pokémon is!"
Lin Siyu stared at the Pokémon in the picture with a look of "shock."
(What's wrong? This is the first time I've seen the Streamer look so surprised when seeing a Pokémon.)
(Is it some kind of bad Pokémon?)
(That's not right! In the stream, that Brother Yang just glanced at this Pokémon from afar, but it didn't do anything and just left, right?)
(Does this Pokémon have some special skill?)
Meng Xi said with a very serious expression, "If there is anyone near the location of the stream, I suggest you evacuate as soon as possible."
"Everyone, quickly warn this Streamer to run, because something bad might happen."
To prevent people from not believing her, Meng Xi took out the Pokédex.
"Absol inhabits steep mountainous regions and rarely comes down to the foothills."
"It runs through the mountains like the wind and is a long-lived Pokémon that can live up to 100 years."
"It is sensitive to changes in the sky and land, and possesses the ability to foresee disasters."
"When it wants to warn humans of a disaster it has sensed with its horn, it appears from deep within the mountains."
"Because if an Absol appears before people, a disaster like an earthquake or tsunami is bound to occur, the elderly call it the Disaster Pokémon and are very wary of it."
"In the past, when superstition was rampant, it was detested because it was thought to bring disaster and was driven into the deep mountains, but people were very interested in its ability to foresee disasters."
"However, only its appearance is ominous; in reality, its personality is very gentle."
"It is a precious existence that will help protect fields or warn people of anomalies."
After the broadcast finished, the chat fell silent for a moment.
"So, if there is anyone in the area, it's best to evacuate quickly to avoid suffering an undeserved disaster."
(Thanks for the reminder, I've already started packing.)
(No way? You actually believe it? How can there be an ability to foresee the future in this world?)
(I trust the Streamer 100%, I'm already preparing to take my wife and kids and run.)
(That's right, the Streamer is accurate every single time, just in case, I feel like I should run too.)
(That was close, thank goodness I don't live over there.)
(Could it be that a volcano is about to erupt? But usually, there's no way there wouldn't be a notification for such a hazard, right?)
"The Streamer can confirm the information is absolutely accurate; friends in the area should get away as quickly as possible."
...
"What's the situation? How did Fei Xiao respond?"
"Sister Fei Xiao said she wants to go and check it out personally, and she should have already set off by now."
"She also told us to quickly evacuate the local residents."
Jiao Xiaoyan relayed Fei Xiao's words exactly to her grandfather; she didn't dare say much more about such a major matter.
"Is that so?"
Jiao Wuyan and Ye Jinnian could now basically confirm that the content of the pokédex was likely true.
Otherwise, Fei Xiao wouldn't have gone there personally.
No! If a volcano were to erupt, it wouldn't be useful for Fei Xiao to go, would it?
And if the instrument analysis is correct, it's not even certain yet whether it's a volcanic eruption.
Ding!
Jiao Wuyan's phone rang again at this critical moment.
"Hello! Is this Elder Jiao?"
"It is I."
"Elder Jiao, according to the local people, it seems quite a few people have seen that Absol entering the city area several times in a row."
"What!"
...
"Grandfather..."
"Hurry and remind the local authorities to evacuate the masses."
"Just in case, tell people to go and rescue that person, while also investigating the cause."
Jiao Wuyan always felt that things might not be as simple as imagined.
...
(Streamer, hurry and run!)
(Yeah, yeah! Be careful not to lose your life.)
Brother Yang watched the suddenly changed chat, not understanding it for a moment.
"What's wrong? Nothing major has happened here, right?"
(Brother Yang, it's that Fei Xiao's assistant warning you to flee.)
(It's that Pokémon you met earlier, Brother Yang! It's said to be called Absol, the Disaster Pokémon.)
(That's right! So Streamer, hurry and get away from here too!)
...
Brother Yang finally understood.
The reason turned out to be a Pokémon he had encountered not long ago, but that Pokémon gave him a very scary feeling.
So he had only stared at it from afar, and the latter indeed hadn't attacked him.
He really didn't expect the other party's identity to be so terrifying.
Brother Yang was really a bit scared for a moment.
Although he didn't think much of them, they seemed to really understand Pokémon very well.
He didn't want to ruin his bright future.
(The Streamer isn't scared, right?!)
(Yeah! How come we don't see any danger at all?)
(If a volcano were going to erupt, the local residents would have already been evacuated.)
(Exactly, exactly. This time, I think they are just trying to scare you.)
Following some brainless fan comments, Brother Yang suddenly got cocky again.
That's right, the weather is clear now, and there's no abnormality in the surroundings.
It stands to reason that this volcano has also been simply confirmed to basically not erupt suddenly.
Thinking of this, he prepared to gamble one more time.
Immediately, his expression changed.
"I think everyone makes sense. So, for those who want to see the Streamer prove them wrong, please type 1."
"The Streamer is risking his life to investigate for everyone."
That's right, if he successfully pointed out their mistake, his reputation would further expand; this itself was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Watching the endless stream of comments, Brother Yang couldn't help but laugh.
...
On the other end, Lin Siyu and Meng Xi were stunned speechless after seeing this scene.
Risking his life just for traffic?
"If you don't court death, you won't die."
The two couldn't help but shake their heads; this guy was definitely beyond saving.
