6: Section 6

It was from that time onwards that it lived a life of eating one meal and starving the next.

If Zhang Yu could really do what he said, perhaps it could indeed agree.

However, it absolutely refused to admit that it agreed because it couldn't resist the temptation of food; it just felt that Zhang Yu was a good person and gave it a sense of security, which was why it reluctantly agreed. Yes, that's right!

"Huo!"

After struggling in its mind for quite some time, Charmander finally nodded at Zhang Yu, agreeing to his invitation.

"You agreed?"

"That's great!"

"My name is Zhang Yu, please take good care of me from now on!"

Originally, when Zhang Yu saw Charmander hesitating to agree, he thought that this matter was hopeless, but he never expected that just when he was about to give up, Charmander actually nodded and agreed.

He immediately grabbed Charmander's small paw and shook it excitedly.

It wasn't that he couldn't stay calm; this was the first Pokémon he had caught so far, and it was his beloved Charmander!

Perhaps it was a bit uncomfortable from being shaken by Zhang Yu, so Charmander immediately slapped Zhang Yu's hand away with a look of disdain.

[No, Charmander actually agreed?]

[Could it be that I'm seeing things and misread it?]

[Could it be that Charmander is really a special effect, and Anchor created this scene just to joke with us?]

[Wait, I suddenly realized a problem: Charmander can actually understand Anchor's words! Doesn't this mean that Pokémon can not only understand human language but are also very smart?]

[It shouldn't be as amazing as you think. Look, don't pets at home also understand some human words?]

[Yes, it's no big deal.]

[You guys, since Anchor can abduct Charmander, can I also do it?]

[Upstairs, are you tired of living? How dare you even think about such a thing!]

[Although this matter is indeed somewhat dangerous, it's not impossible.]

[If you ask me, this Charmander is completely an exception and has no reference value at all.]

The Water Friends, who were already very surprised by Zhang Yu's words, were stunned when they saw Charmander actually agree.

After a while, they gradually came back to their senses and began to discuss.

And through this matter, some relatively smart people also noticed some things that they had previously overlooked.

For example, the fact that Pokémon can understand human language.

However, except for a few people, most people didn't take this matter seriously at all.

Fortunately, the 'few people' mentioned here included some official personnel.

Sure enough, in a Research Institute in Rong City, several Researchers were watching Zhang Yu's live stream and began to discuss.

"Incredible, this is truly incredible."

"This is simply a miracle!"

"Yes, who would have thought that this Anchor not only wasn't attacked by that Charmander but also managed to touch it."

"Not only did he touch it, he directly abducted it, and from their interaction, it's not hard to see that the intelligence of Pokémon is actually not low, and it can understand our human language, which also allows us to overturn the United States' previous statement that Pokémon are unintelligent beasts."

"Compared to 'monsters', I think the term 'Pokémon' that this Anchor uses is more suitable, and if Charmander's situation is not an isolated case, then our humans and Pokémon can live in harmony, and there's no need for war at all."

"Indeed, and this also means that Pokémon can become a help to humans. If the supernatural powers that Pokémon possess are used well, it might even allow our technology to achieve major breakthroughs."

From their conversation, it could be seen that they were also very surprised by what was happening in the live stream at that moment.

After all, unlike those Water Friends, they knew much more about Pokémon.

But precisely because of this, they were even more shocked.

Because the performance of that Charmander in Zhang Yu's live stream almost overturned their understanding.

And while they were surprised, they also noticed many things from it.

Chapter 9: The Arrival of Night (Begging for flowers, monthly tickets, and recommendation tickets)

"This Anchor is quite interesting."

Soon, this information was passed to General Liu, who was responsible for defending against Pokémon on the front line.

When he first learned of this news, General Liu only thought that Zhang Yu was a reckless person, not only daring to enter the forest alone to contact a Pokémon but also wanting to abduct it.

But when he learned that Zhang Yu had actually succeeded, he immediately changed his mind.

Perhaps not all of what Zhang Yu said was accurate, but judging from his ultimate success in abducting Charmander, he must have some real skill.

As someone who had truly interacted with Pokémon, he naturally understood that Pokémon, or rather, Pokémon, were not as terrifying as some people portrayed them to be.

Although Pokémon indeed possessed powerful abilities, they had no hostility towards humans and rarely initiated attacks.

As for why the war between humans and Pokémon broke out?

There were too many hidden agendas involved, but one of the main reasons was the trouble caused by Western countries led by the United States.

And since a new solution to the human-Pokémon problem had emerged, their original actions should be suspended.

"Pass down the order: temporarily cease the offensive against Pokémon."

Thinking of this, he immediately gave the order to his subordinates.

As for whether there would be other actions later?

That would depend on the higher-ups' decision.

At the same time, he also noted down Zhang Yu's live stream, intending to check it out when he had time.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu had already led Charmander deeper into the forest.

Perhaps it was because the place he was currently in was still the original land of Blue Star, and not the Unknown Land that appeared on Blue Star with the arrival of Pokémon later. Although he occasionally heard Pokémon Growls along the way, he didn't see any Pokémon except for Charmander.

Not just him, even the Water Friends in the live stream started to feel a bit bored.

Fortunately, Charmander was there; otherwise, a portion of the audience he had painstakingly gathered would probably have drifted away.

"Alas, this can't go on like this."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh.

From the current situation, the only way to change his predicament was to truly enter that Unknown Land.

Although whenever Zhang Yu looked up and saw the mountains that seemed to be within reach, he always had a feeling that he would arrive soon.

But as the saying goes, 'looking at mountains makes horses run to death.'

He had already walked for several hours, and it was already getting dark, yet he still hadn't reached the foot of that mountain range.

Left with no choice, Zhang Yu had to find an open space and set up his tent.

"It seems my preparations were still insufficient; the tent is a bit small."

Looking at the tent he had already set up, Zhang Yu's brows furrowed slightly.

Although he had considered the Pokémon issue and chose an extra-large tent when purchasing it, logically speaking, let alone having only one Pokémon, even if a few more Pokémon came, as long as no Pokémon with an oversized body like Wailord appeared, the internal space would definitely be more than enough.

However, considering the flame on Charmander's Dragon Tail, the actual number of Pokémon that this tent could accommodate was hard to say.

But those were worries for the future; Zhang Yu immediately shook his head and started doing other things.

[Sigh, why has Anchor walked for so long and still hasn't seen any other Pokémon?]

[This can't be helped; Anchor hasn't reached the real Unknown Land yet. Although it's the wilderness, the number of Pokémon is actually not large. Let alone one day, it's entirely possible not to encounter a single Pokémon for two or three days.]

[That's right, if it weren't for that, those Anchors who specialize in outdoor live streaming in the wilderness would have already gone out of business.]

[Actually, to be honest, it was abnormal for Anchor to encounter Charmander as soon as he got out of the car. Perhaps that one chance encounter used up all of Anchor's good luck.]

[Good luck, huh? Other Anchors would definitely have a different opinion on that.]

[Huh, Anchor's tent, why is it so big? It's completely different from the small tent I expected!]

[Isn't it? This tent, let alone for one person, is spacious even for a family.]

[Indeed, to put it bluntly, some people's cramped homes aren't even half the size of this tent.]

[I get it now; no wonder Anchor was carrying such a large backpack. I was curious why his backpack was so big before. So it was this thing taking up space inside.]

[I can tell, Anchor had the intention of luring Pokémon away a long time ago. Otherwise, he wouldn't have prepared such a large tent for himself.]

Because they hadn't encountered any Pokémon for a long time, the Water Friends in the live stream were almost all chatting idly.

Although someone would occasionally complain, it was just a casual remark.

After all, in their view, this was actually a very normal situation.

It was when Zhang Yu took the tent out of his backpack that it caused a stir of surprise among them.

After all, not many people had seen such a large tent.

However, Zhang Yu at this moment didn't notice their bullet comments, for no other reason than that he was currently preparing his dinner.

As someone who had lived alone for a long time, he did have some cooking skills, but truly, just some.
