Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 129 A roadside stall! (4k)

As for the Scyther, Ling Feng felt that he could only wait for another opportunity to catch it.

After skillfully scouring the entire town of Wudu, he plunged into a rocky cave. After speaking with the mountain climber at the entrance, he successfully obtained the Flash ability learning machine.

To be honest, whether or not he had this trick wouldn't make much difference to him. After all, he already knew every dark cave and every place in the game like the back of his hand.

The settings of these maps are completely faithful to the original work.

But with so many comments watching, I should at least do something in return.

The cave is naturally filled with Rock-type Pokémon, which should be quite disadvantageous for Bug-type Pokémon.

However, along the way to Wudu Town, Ling Feng also battled many NPCs and wild Pokémon encountered along the way. His Bug Pack had already reached level 20 and naturally evolved into a Poké Cocoon.

His new Grass-type move, "Mega Drain," became a powerful weapon against these Rock-type Pokémon, making it extremely efficient for Ling Feng to clear a path through the cave, allowing him to move smoothly without any obstacles.

As for Ling Feng's efficiency in finding a way in the cave, it was astonishing; even in the darkness, he didn't bump into a single wall.

This situation inevitably sparked another round of discussion among the viewers in the live stream.

[So that's why the streamer caught that Pokémon called Bug Bag! Turns out it was to deal with the Rock-type Pokémon in the cave.]

[How many times has this streamer secretly played this game? Why does it feel like he's back home when he goes back to the cave, even though he didn't use Flashy Flash?]

While the live stream chat was buzzing with discussion, Ling Feng had already successfully retrieved the ancient fossil from a platform not far away and arrived at the area controlled by Team Rocket members.

However, these Team Rocket NPCs were completely powerless against him. After all, he had easily destroyed Cuckoo's gym, so these NPCs were no match for him either.

After defeating most of Team Rocket members, Ling Feng finally reached the bottom of the cave. According to the game mechanics, this area leads directly to Regirock's location. This sight instantly generated excitement among many viewers in the live stream chat.

[The streamer has finally arrived! Hurry! Get down here, I want to watch the cutscene of that legendary Pokémon again!]

[Now it's time for my favorite part: experiencing the imposing presence of legendary Pokémon firsthand!]

[Streamer, you're progressing so fast in this game! Can you be the first on the entire internet to awaken Regirock? I want to see what he looks like when he's awake.]

Clearly, most of the viewers in the live stream had already seen the CG clip featuring Regirock, the Geo Registeel, in other live streams or videos.

Soon, some people noticed something different.

It seems that the CG seen in those reposted videos on the internet doesn't bring that shock and strong feeling; only when watching it in a live stream will you feel this special sense of oppression.

Many people even go out of their way to watch the live streams of streamers who are new to playing Ultimate Emerald, just to see this cinematic again.

But the next moment, something completely unexpected happened to all the viewers in the live stream. Ling Feng glanced at the ladder leading to the lower level, then turned and walked away without looking back. This drew a barrage of question marks from the chat.
【? ? ? 】

"Hey bro? Aren't you going? There's a rumor that Pokémon are down there, at least take a look!"

[Yeah, the streamer looks like they've played this so many times beforehand, didn't they see it before?]

[Was the streamer so scared during the last CG screening that they fainted and are now too afraid to go again?]

Amidst the barrage of comments in the live stream, Ling Feng, while controlling his in-game character to walk back, personally spoke up and asked a question:
"To awaken the Rock God Pillar, do we need to collect a lot of valuable stones to charge his magic circle?"

He paused for a moment, seemingly giving everyone time to react, before continuing:
"If that's the case, why should I rush down now? I can come back after I've collected all the necessary items."

The moment these words were spoken, the live stream room fell silent.

Hmm, that makes some sense.

Indeed, going down now would only allow us to take a look.

[Damn it, streamer, I'm begging you, please go down and take a look.]

Amidst a barrage of comments, Ling Feng left the rocky cave.

After talking to Daigo, we successfully obtained a Sun Stone.

This evolution stone is obviously not of much use to him in his Bug-type Pokémon challenge, but it can be used to awaken Regirock in this save file later.

After all, according to his own settings in the game, the evolution stones that Daigo gives to players are of very high quality, which can speed up the charging of that altar magic circle.

Upon obtaining the evolution stone, he immediately recovered at the Pokémon Center and plunged into the Fighting Gym, where he began using Beautifly to annihilate the NPCs blocking his path.

Beautifly has now reached level 22 and has successfully learned the new Flying-type move Air Slash. This is a fatal blow to the Fighting-type Pokémon in the Fighting Gym.

In less than a few minutes, Ling Feng successfully cleared out all the characters inside the martial arts dojo and arrived in front of the dojo master, Fujiki.

By this time, the popularity in the live stream room had been rising steadily for quite some time, with the number of online viewers reaching over 10.

It wasn't until then that the viewers in the live stream realized that Ling Feng had already reached the second dojo and started discussing the martial arts dojo.

[This gym must be pretty difficult, right? Can you really beat it with just a Butterfree?]

[It's hard to say. Didn't you see how badly Du Juan was beaten by the streamer? Who can say for sure?]

[The Vine Tree is pretty strong, isn't it? That Baton Pass Blaziken, plus that Iron Fist, and I remember all those Pokémon have Fire-type moves. The streamer's team might not have an easy time.]

[Indeed, and this time the streamer won't be able to set up Reflect. After all, if he sets up Reflect in one turn, Roborock will immediately use Swords Dance to boost its Attack by two stages, which is essentially negated, making it a bit awkward... It might even get swept by Blaziken.]

[That makes sense. Let's see how the streamer plays. I really don't believe he can beat it in one go this time.]

However, in front of the computer screen, Ling Feng glanced at the large number of refreshed comments and smiled slightly.

If we were to say which dojo is the easiest to beat in the whole process...
Without a doubt, it's this Fighting-style gym.

Difficult to fight?

This is clearly a welfare agency!
He stepped forward and started his second gym battle!
As the battle began, Lingfeng's team first dispatched their lead Pokémon, Beautifly. This would undoubtedly be their main force in this gym battle. Meanwhile, the opposing team, Tengshu, didn't change their team composition at all; just as the viewers predicted, they sent out Combusken. With Combusken's arrival, the viewers in the live stream began to discuss:
[Here it comes! Sword Dance takes over from the Speedy Chicken! And it even has a Power Sash that can lock its health—it's insanely powerful. If the streamer doesn't handle this first stage well, they'll be wiped out.]

[I'm stuck here because of this guy, so I've rushed to the cave next door to catch Rock Pokémon to level up, but I have this feeling that even though Rock is super effective against Fire, I'll still get one-shotted by Fighting-type moves.]

[Your feeling upstairs is actually correct, don't ask me how I know. Even a sturdy little stone wouldn't last a single round. Do you know a move called the Double Kick that comes down from the sky?]

[I'm really curious, how does this streamer's team play if they don't have a chance to break through the wall?]

However, just as the viewers in the live stream were discussing how Ling Feng would deal with this strong chicken, Ling Feng's choice surprised them all.

Without hesitation, he selected the skill Air Slash!

The next moment, the Hunting Butterfly struck first. With a flap of its wings, a sharp gust of air transformed into a swift wave, striking the Mighty Chicken directly opposite it.

Immediately following, a notification popped up: The Hunting Butterfly used an Air Slash! A critical hit! Extremely effective!

The next instant, the Combusken's health bar began to plummet at an alarming rate, reaching zero. After a muffled cry of pain, the Combusken swayed and collapsed, incapacitated.

Upon seeing this, the viewers in the live chat were instantly dumbfounded:

[What?! It was over in seconds?!]

I can understand a critical hit, but isn't the Mighty Chicken supposed to be imposing? How come it got instantly killed?

[Yeah, I remember when I watched Nana's live stream before, she solved this problem with a surprise high-five attack using Lucky Kappa.]

Meanwhile, while Tengshu was switching Pokémon, Ling Feng glanced at the comments and noticed the audience's discussion. He was immediately taken aback.

In the original Pokémon Emerald, Combusken never carries any held items. I simply kept that in the game I was making.

Unexpectedly, Cynthia mistakenly believed that the Mighty Chicken was carrying an item like the Power Sash, thus misleading the audience and other players.

But saying it like this actually serves as a reminder to myself.

If you equip Combusken with a Focus Sash here, even if the player's Pokémon can instantly KO Combusken with a super-effective move, the opponent will still be able to successfully use Swords Dance to gain an advantage and then use Baton Pass.
That makes sense, that makes sense. I'll add this guy after the stream ends.

The viewers in the live stream were unaware of the unforeseen trouble their comments had brought them.

On the battlefield, Vine Tree had already switched to his second Pokémon—the muscular Iron Fist Warrior.

However, when faced with the Iron Palm Warrior who had been replaced, Ling Feng didn't seem to care much and simply clicked on the Air Cutter again!

A sharp airflow swept across the screen, but this time the air cutting did not produce a critical hit.

However, a brand new message popped up as Iron Palm Warrior's health bar plummeted:
The Iron Palm Warrior cowered in fear!
The pop-up notification startled Ling Feng.

He only intended to use the air cutter to hit the Iron Palm Warrior's status, but unexpectedly it triggered the Cowardice effect.
However, if that's the case, then things will obviously be much easier from here on out.

Before the viewers in the live stream could react, the second air cut was launched, taking away half of the Iron Palm Warrior's remaining health bar and rendering him unable to fight.

In just a few short minutes, the Vine Tree had only one Pokémon left: Makuhime.
At this moment, all the Pokémon in Lingfeng's team, except for Beautifly, whose PP was slightly depleted, were at full strength.

The outcome of this battle was, of course, self-evident.

To be on the safe side, Ling Feng even deployed the Butterfly Bartholomew, using a combination of hypnotic powder and ultrasound.

As two more air cuts flashed by, and the warrior under the curtain fell, cheerful celebration music started playing, and the viewers in the live stream chat finally snapped out of their daze.

Ling Feng thought this fighting arena battle would at least pose some obstacles, but unexpectedly, the streamer kicked the vine tree to death as easily as kicking an NPC on the roadside.

[The guys just arrived. Didn't everyone say this game is really hard? How come the streamer plays it so easily?]

[Just kidding, the streamer took down this gym leader even faster than he dealt with the NPCs...]

[A humorous Fighting-type Gym Leader, can't even beat Team Bug?]

[You're the one who's funny! You couldn't even handle a strong chicken!]

...

Some viewers have already noticed new problems:

[Huh? I just realized the streamer cleared the second gym in less than two hours! That's insane!]

【What? Two hours? I'm looking at my watch, it's one hour and twenty-eight minutes.】

"Holy crap, that's so fast! Are they really going to keep their promise and use the Bug-type gym to reach the latest story progression within a week?"

At this rate, let alone reaching the latest progress within a week, I'd believe it if you said the streamer set a speedrun record.

"How is that possible! Fighting-type gyms are easy for him to beat. Clearing it so quickly this time was purely luck, right? One critical hit, one Coward; even if he wasn't lucky, he could have beaten it with a few more tries."

Indeed, I have absolutely no idea how he could possibly win at the Electric-type Gym...

This comment was very eye-catching and naturally attracted Ling Feng's attention.

Believe it or not, this is actually a problem he's currently pondering.

If you use Beautifly as your main attacker when you reach the Electric Gym, the weak electric Thunderbolt might not be enough to withstand it.

By that time, most of the NPC Pokémon had reached level 30 and entered their final evolved forms. Beautifly's base stat advantage had completely disappeared.

However, Ling Feng was not worried about this at all.

If things continue to be this easy, then this challenge live stream will obviously lose its appeal.

That's the kind of challenge that gets people excited!
