36: Section 36

“The sight of humans and Pokémon facing difficulties and overcoming them together is truly beautiful. I wonder when it will happen around us?”

“Such a scene is indeed beautiful, but in the short term, we probably won’t see it. Don’t forget, the relationship between Pokémon and humans is not very harmonious right now.”

“So the question is, which countries were the first to go to war with such beautiful, kind, and gentle Pokémon?”

“Who else but the United States and those Western countries?”

“Upstairs, have you forgotten about the island nation, the Koreans, and the Indians?”

“Right, right, and those troublemakers! They’re always involved in bad things!”

After seeing such a harmonious and beautiful scene, not only did those who had just entered the live stream and didn’t know much about Pokémon change their views on Pokémon, but those who already understood Pokémon and believed that they could coexist harmoniously with humans were even more firm in their beliefs.

“After bustling about for most of the night, it’s finally coming to an end. This really wasn’t easy.”

As the rescue work began to wind down, Zhang Yu finally had time to attend to some of his own matters.

First was solving the problem of various supplies, including tents. Undoubtedly, they all had to be re-acquired.

After all, he couldn’t possibly go back to the previous location to search for them now, could he?

Putting aside whether he could find them, even if he did, how much of it would still be usable?

Facing the current situation, the only option Zhang Yu had was to purchase them from the System Mall.

What relieved him slightly was that these more common items, or items not closely related to Pokémon, were very cheap in the system.

Otherwise, if he bought so many things at once, his wallet might give out before he did.

Although this would inevitably expose some issues, based on his observations, many Water Friends in the live stream had already noticed problems.

His actions now simply meant he was no longer hiding it.

After all, with so many things, even if he wanted to hide it or make excuses, he couldn't, right?

Of course, to avoid making it too obvious, when he took them out of the system, he chose an empty space outside the camera’s view.

Although it only took a turn of the camera for so many supplies to appear, it was essentially no different from directly conjuring things out of thin air in front of the camera.

And since the supplies were ready, he had another thing to do—fill his stomach.

“Please give fresh flowers, monthly votes, and rating votes.”

After such a long period of busy work, not only he but also the Pokémon were already hungry.

And there were also some injured ones that needed to be taken care of.

The food that could solve all these problems was undoubtedly Pokémon Curry.

This thing not only tasted good and was easy to make, but it also had effects such as restoring stamina, healing injuries, curing Pokémon’s abnormal statuses, and increasing their strength.

And most importantly, Pokémon Curry could be made in large quantities at once!

This point was especially important for Zhang Yu.

“Anchor has been busy for several hours now, hasn’t he? The rescue work is finally over.”

“This is the first time I’ve deeply realized how difficult disaster relief truly is.”

“Yes, it’s not just within the line of sight; there might also be survivors in the nooks and crannies. Not only is it troublesome to rescue them, but it’s also troublesome to find them. I still don’t know how Anchor found so many people.”

“This probably can only rely on meticulousness and patience, searching little by little.”

“It’s truly not easy for Anchor to persist for so long.”

“Compared to that, what I’m more concerned about is how did those supplies next to Anchor appear? How did so many supplies appear in just a moment? Other things are fine, but how did tents appear there?”

“What’s so strange about that? Haven’t you noticed? Anchor can always pull out all sorts of strange things from his backpack, and the volume of those things has long exceeded the backpack’s capacity.”

“Indeed, not only me, I believe many people in the live stream have noticed this problem, so the fact that Anchor has secrets is no longer news. Now, the live stream is just no longer pretending.”

“Is Anchor no longer pretending? It’s clearly that he can’t keep pretending, okay? After all, who would have thought there would suddenly be a heavy rainstorm?”

“What? You already knew? Then do you know what’s going on?”

“I don’t know, but we guess that someone, or a Pokémon, is probably Helping Anchor.”

“Exactly, that’s the only way to explain it.”

“Forget about it, why do you care about such things? Who doesn’t have their own secrets?”

Just as Zhang Yu had thought, many people in the live stream had some guesses about his situation.

So, upon seeing such an incredible scene, many people were not too surprised.

After all, to be honest, Gyarados’s direct confrontation with the natural disaster and Venusaur’s changing of the weather were clearly more shocking.

Compared to the commotion they caused, Zhang Yu’s actions truly weren’t much.

Zhang Yu only glanced at the situation in the live stream when he had a moment, and seeing that nothing unexpected had happened, he stopped paying attention. After all, he was still busy making curry.

He was already somewhat tired, and if he were to be distracted by other things, the curry he was making might have an accident.

Originally, Zhang Yu estimated that he would only need to spend at most an hour to finish making all the curry he and all the Pokémon needed.

However, an unexpected situation occurred midway: he had overlooked the curry’s attractiveness to Pokémon.

As a result, while he was making the curry, the surrounding Pokémon showed a tendency to gather more and more, and even Gyarados and Venusaur gathered because of it.

And facing those pairs of watery, pitiful big eyes, he really couldn’t bear to refuse and could only brace himself and continue making it.

As a result, he spent a full two hours before finally finishing all the curry and filling his own stomach.

After resting for a short while, Zhang Yu turned his head to look at Growlithe, who was resting beside him.

And gradually, some other thoughts arose: Should I catch it?

The question of whether to catch Growlithe was not a sudden impulse of Zhang Yu’s, but rather because he inherently liked this kind of Pokémon, which is why he had such a thought.

In fact, if it weren’t for so many things happening tonight, he would have already invited Growlithe.

And after all these things tonight, he found that he liked Growlithe even more.

As for the reason... tonight, besides Charmeleon, Growlithe was the one who accompanied him the most.

The reason this thought popped up again now was mainly because he was worried that if he didn’t act now, it would be too late.

After all, he was so tired today that once he fell asleep, he didn’t know when he would wake up, and by then, it would be impossible to find Growlithe.

“Growlithe, are you willing to become our partner, travel with us, and see the wider world with us?”

Thinking it, Zhang Yu immediately reached out his hand and invited Growlithe.

“Woof~”

Upon hearing Zhang Yu’s invitation, Growlithe did not refuse. Instead, it immediately stood up, came to Zhang Yu’s opposite side, and looked at Charmeleon with a face full of fighting spirit.

Upon seeing Growlithe’s reaction, Zhang Yu immediately understood what it wanted to express.

Want to catch me?

You can, but you must defeat me first!

“Okay, then let’s battle.”

After understanding Growlithe’s meaning, Zhang Yu immediately patted Charmeleon’s shoulder, signaling it was time to get up.

“Char~”

Charmeleon, hearing this, reluctantly stood up.

If it could, it really didn’t want to battle now.

However, it also vaguely guessed some of Zhang Yu’s concerns, so this battle truly had to happen.

“What kind of food is Anchor making? Curry? It looks delicious, it’s making me hungry!”

“It does look like curry, but I don’t recognize some of the ingredients used. It’s very likely they are also from the Unknown Land, so I can’t be sure if this is really curry.”

“Is there a possibility that you’re hungry simply because it’s been a long time since you last ate? After all, you haven’t even checked what time it is now.”

“Good heavens! It’s already 3 AM!”

“Yes, it’s already 3 AM, which makes me a bit conflicted. Charmeleon is about to fight Growlithe, and I really want to know the final outcome, but if I really keep watching, I’ll probably be late for work tomorrow.”

“Worried about being late due to staying up late? Then just stay up all night!”

“Stay up all night? No thanks, I’m worried I’ll just drop dead.”

“Why care so much? Anyway, the daily quests are about to refresh. Are you sure you can really sleep if you don’t do them?”

“What you said does make a lot of sense.”

“Compared to those games, shouldn’t what truly matters be the fact that Anchor is going to catch Growlithe? If we miss this time, who knows when Anchor will catch another Pokémon? After all, Anchor’s taste is clearly very high; he wouldn’t catch just any Pokémon, otherwise, he wouldn’t only have Charmeleon.”

“You’re right! How did I not think of that? No! I must keep watching!”

“You guys are really going to stay up all night, aren’t you?”

The Water Friends, who had originally decided to go to sleep seeing that things seemed to be over, were suddenly invigorated when they saw that Zhang Yu was going to battle Growlithe because he wanted to catch it.

They definitely had to finish watching this rare scene of catching a Pokémon before going to sleep; otherwise, they felt they wouldn’t sleep soundly tonight.

“Ahem, Water Friends, I personally suggest you go to bed early. After all, staying up late is really bad for your health.”
