52: Section 52

To divert everyone's attention and move on from the topic, Zhang Yu immediately started talking about the main business.

“Just as you guessed, it is indeed an Electric Pokémon, but you didn't guess its second type, which is Ghost-type.”

“Due to its typing, Rotom's body structure is also extremely special; it can enter certain machines like an Electric current.”

“In a sense, you can think of Rotom as a soul that operates on electrical energy, or you can consider it a true artificial intelligence with its own soul.”

“And after Rotom enters those machines, not only will their appearance change to some extent, but their performance will also be enhanced.”

“To give you a more intuitive experience, I'll demonstrate it for you now.”

“Rotom, please enter my phone.”

As Zhang Yu said this, he immediately raised his phone and shook it at Rotom.

Upon hearing this, Rotom immediately transformed into a golden Electric current and entered Zhang Yu's phone.

Then, everyone saw an antenna-like object, identical to Rotom's, appear above Zhang Yu's phone, and a pair of eyes, also like Rotom's, appeared on the back of the phone.

“Language selection complete!”

“User Zhang Yu registered!”

“Phone Rotom program activating... Program activated!”

“User Zhang Yu, please guide me, Roto~”

After winking at Zhang Yu, Rotom automatically floated up.

Immediately, everyone saw a series of data flash across the phone screen, followed by Rotom's voice broadcast.

“Rotom, please guide me from now on.”

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yu immediately smiled and nodded at the phone Rotom.

“Holy moly! So that Pokémon is that amazing?”

“Is Rotom really a Ghost-type Pokémon? This is truly the first time I've seen one.”

“I wonder if other Ghost-type Pokémon are as elusive as Rotom?”

“No wonder we haven't seen this Pokémon before; unless it actively shows itself, there's no way to find it, right?”

“Indeed, and considering that it can enter various machines and change its appearance, even if it does show itself, we might not be able to recognize its identity.”

“Listening to Anchor's description, Rotom truly is an amazing Pokémon.”

“Yes, and why do I feel like Rotom is somewhat like artificial intelligence?”

“It's not 'like'; you could say it IS artificial intelligence.”

“Holy cow! Is this Pokémon that outrageous?”

“Goodness, it really seems that way, and it can even get into phones? And make the phone's performance even stronger?”

“Holy cow! Anchor is using a real smartphone!”

“It's more than just a smartphone; it can even fly!”

“Not just that, have you forgotten that Rotom is an Electric Pokémon? Does that mean it can actually power the phone?”

“This... that can't be, can it?”

“Theoretically, it's entirely possible. After all, it directly entered the phone's interior, so it should be able to Charge the phone.”

“If that's really the case, Anchor's phone is pretty much overcharged, isn't it?”

“That depends on how much the phone's capabilities have improved, but just the current situation already makes me want one!”

“Don't even think about it; the phone is simple, but how do you get a Rotom?”

“This is indeed a problem, but it's a problem for phone manufacturers to consider. Even if they can't find a large number of Rotom, they should at least be able to implement some of its functions, because the appearance of the phone Rotom has greatly raised everyone's expectations for phones.”

“To be honest, that's true.”

The Water Friends, who were already very curious about Rotom, widened their eyes in surprise when they saw the abilities Rotom displayed.

If they previously had no concept of Rotom being able to enhance machine performance, they now had a vague idea.

Even without considering other things, just the abilities currently displayed by the phone Rotom were enough to make their hearts flutter.

They wished they could also own such a phone Rotom!

It was just a pity that such an idea was destined to be impossible to achieve, at least not for a very long time.

Because not to mention them, even Zhang Yu's current phone, which Rotom had entered, could not be considered a complete phone Rotom.

A true phone Rotom was not just any ordinary phone; it had to be a phone specifically prepared for Rotom to fully unleash Rotom's abilities.

In this regard, Blue Star still had a long way to go.

But if it was just a low-spec version like Zhang Yu's current one, then there was still some hope. Perhaps someone's luck would suddenly explode, and they would encounter a Rotom?

“Alright, it's getting late. It's time for us to set off.”

After briefly fiddling with the phone Rotom and discovering that it seemed to have gained additional functions like a Pokémon Dex and danger rescue, Zhang Yu temporarily put his phone away and walked towards the nearby forest, ready to officially begin today's journey.

After all, from the current situation, the phone's changes were quite significant, so it would be better for him to study it slowly in the evening.

After all, some things were not suitable for showing to the Water Friends, at least not at this stage.

As for why he chose the forest instead of going directly up the mountain... wasn't it because there was no visible path up the mountain nearby?

“By the way, did I forget something?”

But for some reason, Zhang Yu always felt like he had forgotten something, but no matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't remember.

It wasn't until Zhang Yu noticed Charizard's presence, and the camera followed his gaze to Charizard, that he finally remembered what he had forgotten.

He had forgotten to give the Water Friends a surprise!

But he couldn't be blamed for it; there had simply been too many things happening this morning.

First, there was Reba and Corviknight's matter, and then Rotom's matter, which made him forget the surprise he had originally prepared.

When Zhang Yu looked at the live stream with a slightly guilty conscience, he couldn't help but cover his eyes.

It was indeed too late.

“Oh? It seems like a few new apps have appeared on Anchor's phone?”

“Really? Are you sure you're not mistaken?”

“Anchor's phone only had a few apps to begin with, and now several have appeared all at once. It's obvious, isn't it? How could I be mistaken?”

“Indeed, a few apps have appeared, but those apps only have icons and no names, so we don't know what they do.”

“Compared to such trivial matters, what I'm more concerned about is... where did this Pokémon that looks like a Western dragon next to Anchor come from?”

“Holy cow! You didn't say anything, and I really didn't notice! How did a Pokémon appear next to Anchor?”

“Don't you think this Pokémon looks quite similar to Charmeleon?”

“Now that you mention it, it does seem so, and I still haven't seen Charmeleon yet. Could it be that...”

“Huh? Could it be that Charmeleon wasn't hidden by Arcanine all this time, but that Charmeleon no longer wants Anchor?”

“Idiot! Of course, Charmeleon evolved!”

“That's right, this Pokémon is very likely to have evolved from Charmeleon! And from its appearance, I'll boldly guess that it's very likely a Dragon-type Pokémon!”

“It must be said that there is indeed such a possibility, otherwise, it wouldn't make sense why Charmander and Charmeleon both have 'Dragon' in their names.”

“Yay! Finally, a Dragon-type Pokémon!”

The new additions to the phone were naturally noticed by some sharp-eyed Water Friends, but without Zhang Yu using them, they couldn't guess anything just by speculating.

And very quickly, they were drawn to Charizard, who had finally appeared in the camera.

Especially Charizard's appearance, which was almost identical to a Western dragon, led many Water Friends to make all sorts of guesses.

“No, just as you thought, it's called Charizard, and it is indeed Charmeleon's evolution.”

“Perhaps stimulated by Arcanine, it suddenly evolved into Charizard last night.”

“I originally planned to introduce it to you after the broadcast started, but because of other things, I got sidetracked and accidentally forgot.”

When Zhang Yu saw that Charizard's presence had indeed been discovered by the Water Friends, he simply stopped hiding it and generously displayed it.

At the same time, he also gave them a simple explanation.

“But there's one thing you guessed wrong. Although Charizard's name has 'Dragon' in it, and it looks very much like a Western dragon, it is not a Dragon-type Pokémon. It's a Fire-type and Flying-type Pokémon.”

“I believe you all must have noticed Charizard's wings. Don't let them seem ordinary, because I want to tell you that these wings are not simple. They not only give Charizard extremely fast flying ability but can even allow Charizard to fly at altitudes of over a thousand meters.”

“Even without considering anything else, this alone is something most birds cannot compare to.”

“Compared to Charmeleon, after evolving into Charizard, its strength has also significantly improved, the most obvious of which is its Fierce Flames.”

“Charizard's flames can reach temperatures of over a thousand degrees Celsius, a terrifying temperature that can even melt rocks.”

“So, if you see a Charizard in the wild, do not easily provoke them. That would be a very dangerous act.”

“Although Charizard usually doesn't have much fighting spirit when facing weaker opponents, if you truly anger a Charizard, causing the tip of its tail to start burning with blue-white flames, then that's another matter entirely.”
