15: Section 15

“No, I can’t take it anymore! If I don’t see Charmander soon, I’m going to die!”

“Anchor is really something. It’s just a nap, why turn off the live stream?”

“Exactly! He sleeps, we watch our Charmander. There’s no conflict there.”

“Regarding this, I can actually understand it. Knowing that so many people are watching you, a person probably can’t really rest, right? So, it’s quite normal for Anchor to temporarily close the live stream.”

“That’s right. And have you ever considered a problem? Based on my observation, Charmander is actually a relatively lively Pokémon. It’s fine when Anchor is around, but when he’s not, that little guy won’t be well-behaved. It probably won’t be long before it runs off somewhere. So even if the live stream were still open, you wouldn’t get to see Charmander for long.”

“This is indeed a problem.”

“Oh, oh, oh! Anchor has appeared!”

“Good heavens, has Anchor finally woken up?”

“No, wait. Why do I feel like the environment around Anchor is different from before?”

“Isn’t it different? The open space from before is gone, and Metapod and Caterpie are also missing.”

“Is there a possibility that Anchor accidentally forgot about us after just waking up, and only remembered us after walking for a while?”

The Water Friends clearly had some opinions about Zhang Yu’s sudden “nap.”

Chapter 23: Staryu?! (Begging for flowers, monthly tickets, and recommendation tickets)

However, most people could still understand the situation.

After all, before, Zhang Yu and Charmander had a genuine fight with Beedrill.

But understanding is one thing; complaints were still inevitable.

But very quickly, they stopped paying attention to these matters, because Zhang Yu had finally started streaming again.

At the same time, some Water Friends also noticed some unusual circumstances.

How did the location change while Zhang Yu was sleeping?

They immediately realized that Zhang Yu might have temporarily forgotten about them.

Was that really the case?

Of course not. After all, Zhang Yu wasn’t actually going to sleep, so how could he forget about the live stream so easily?

But it’s important to play the part fully. Since he said he was going to rest for a while, he certainly couldn’t restart the live stream immediately.

To avoid wasting time, he only rested for a moment before setting off with Charmander.

He only restarted the live stream when he felt enough time had passed.

However, there was another reason why he only started the live stream now.

“Ahem, compared to those irrelevant matters, I have something more important to tell everyone now.”

“Have you noticed that in this seemingly quiet forest, some other sounds have appeared?”

After noticing the bullet comments in the live stream, Zhang Yu first gave a slightly awkward dry cough, then immediately changed the subject and started talking about something else.

It was only then that the Water Friends noticed that, compared to before, there indeed seemed to be a slightly muffled sound in the forest.

“Anchor, your level of changing topics is really not good.”

“Exactly, I saw right through it.”

“Although Anchor is indeed changing the topic, there does seem to be a very muffled sound in that forest.”

“That’s strange. I always feel like I’ve heard this sound somewhere before, but I just can’t remember it right now.”

“Huh? Do you feel that way too?”

“If I haven’t misheard, this should be the sound of water hitting something?”

“You couldn’t have misheard, could you?”

“No, he shouldn’t be wrong. If I remember correctly, this should be the sound of a waterfall.”

“Waterfall?!”

Although some Water Friends were complaining about Zhang Yu changing the topic, some also noticed the change in sound and began to ponder.

Initially, the muffled sound was not very noticeable, but as Zhang Yu advanced, the sound grew louder and louder, which led some Water Friends to voice their guesses.

“A waterfall?”

“It seems this Water Friends has the same idea as me.”

“In that case, let’s go together and see if there’s a waterfall ahead.”

After seeing the bullet comments in the live stream, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

He hadn’t expected that someone in the live stream would have the same idea as him, and that they would appear so quickly.

To confirm this guess, Zhang Yu immediately quickened his pace and walked forward.

And as he continued to advance, the muffled sound also continued to amplify.

After a period of time, it transformed into a huge rumbling noise.

When Zhang Yu walked out from a patch of shade, his vision suddenly broadened, and a waterfall appeared before his eyes, just as he had expected.

He couldn’t determine the exact height of the waterfall yet, but its width alone seemed to exceed twenty meters.

Looking from afar, the waterfall resembled a white giant dragon rushing down from the mountain range, constantly surging and roaring.

At the bottom of the waterfall, there was also a huge pool, and one could vaguely see that some Pokémon were living in the pool.

However, because the water was too deep, Zhang Yu, standing on the bank, couldn’t clearly see their appearance.

But just as he was thinking this, a Pokémon, with a golden-brown body, an appearance resembling a five-pointed star, but with a red, jewel-like core in the very center, flew out of the water.

It drew a large arc in the air before falling back into the water.

After a while, it flew out again.

“This is… a Sea Star?”

“Big brain upstairs, since you already know it’s a Sea Star, where do you guess it lives?”

“Sea Stars are creatures that live in the sea, so it’s clearly impossible for one to appear here. If I’m not mistaken, that should be a Pokémon, and it seems to have the ability to fly? I just don’t know how it does it.”

“Fly? Is it gliding?”

“No, it’s flying! I saw it very clearly. When it flew into mid-air, it even changed its flight path several times, and its altitude was also constantly fluctuating. This clearly isn’t something gliding can achieve!”

“So, this Pokémon that looks a lot like a Sea Star is likely a Flying-type and Water-type Pokémon?”

“If nothing unexpected happens, it’s probably true.”

“I bet something unexpected will happen. After all, wasn’t the previous Beedrill not a Flying-type Pokémon? But it could still fly.”

“Indeed, whether a Pokémon can fly is probably not the judging criterion for whether it’s a Flying-type Pokémon.”

Although the Pokémon appeared very suddenly, the Water Friends in the live stream still managed to get a clear look at its appearance, which immediately led them to start discussing.

Although they were very surprised that this Pokémon, which seemed to have no wings or similar structures, could actually fly.

However, when they thought about the various magical abilities that Pokémon possess, the fact that it could fly didn’t seem so strange anymore, did it?

More than that, they were more concerned about the type of this new Pokémon.

After all, if they could be the first to state the Pokémon’s type before Zhang Yu introduced it, they would feel a sense of accomplishment, however small.

As for more detailed information?

That couldn’t be known from such a short period of observation.

And let alone them, even those experts who specialize in researching Pokémon, after Pokémon have appeared for so long, haven’t they also failed to gain much information?

Chapter 24: Staryu (Begging for flowers, monthly tickets, and recommendation tickets)

“I never expected to see it here…”

Zhang Yu naturally recognized it at a glance; it was a Pokémon called Staryu.

But then, a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

Although Staryu, unlike the Sea Stars on Earth, doesn’t only live in the ocean but can appear in various coastal areas and a few rivers, generally speaking, it still primarily lives in the ocean and nearby areas.

However, Rong City, where he was currently located, didn’t seem to meet these conditions no matter how he looked at it.

Or was it because this Unknown Land, when it was originally in the Elf Pokemon World, was actually very close to the ocean, which is why this situation occurred?

“In a sense, that person’s bullet comment wasn’t wrong, because this Pokémon’s name is none other than Staryu, and it’s a Water-type Pokémon.”

“You heard right, it only has the Water-type, no other types exist.”

And when he noticed the bullet comments in the live stream, his expression became slightly strange again.

However, he quickly returned to normal and began to introduce Staryu to the Water Friends.

“As for why it can fly… that’s because it’s a rare Pokémon that has mastered Psychic abilities. It’s by relying on its own Psychic power that it possesses a certain degree of flying ability.”

“Not just its name and appearance, but its living habits also have some similarities with the Sea Stars on Earth. Staryu mostly inhabit coastal areas, so situations like it appearing in inland regions are quite rare.”

“However, if you’re lucky, you can try fishing in waters where Pokémon appear. There’s a certain probability you might encounter a Staryu.”
