Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

Good morning, good afternoon, good night, hello Ciao~

"Welcome to Qishu's brand new channel, Qishu Outdoors!"

"Working nine-to-five, sitting in the office all day, have you not gone on a hike with the fairies in a long time? Let the wondrous tree ignite your passion, and this spring, let's get moving together!"

As the energetic and adorable girl's voice rang out, the fans who had been waiting in the live stream room instantly went wild.

Almost every sentence ends with a large number of fans interacting with the message by leaving paid comments or sending gifts.

Clearly, they had been eagerly anticipating this program, which had been generating buzz online for several days.

"This is the first episode. Can the Magnemites guess where the Wonder Tree is?"

"[Magnemite]" is the common name for Qishu's fans, just like Xia Chen's fans are called "[Bean Dove]".

After saying this, the live stream finally showed the image on the screen, and Qishu, whose smile was even brighter than the morning sun, appeared on the screen.

The comments section erupted in another round of wailing and howling.

She was still wearing that carefully designed, loose-fitting, yet subtly revealing outfit, which really appealed to otaku.

With the backdrop of the strange tree—the azure sea, the blue sky, the faint sound of ship horns, and the clearly audible splashing of water—even a fool could guess that this was at sea.

She brought her delicate and adorable face close to the screen, pretending to read the comments, then retreated before the otaku could drool over the screen. Kiki exaggeratedly clapped her hands, which were hidden by her sleeves, and exclaimed, "Wow, the little Magnemites guessed right! I'm on a yacht now!"

"Today, Qishu and his friends came to play at sea. Can you guess who this person is?"

The chat immediately erupted into a guessing game about the person's name.

[Popi!]

[Gurusha!]

[Also, Ci?]

Could it be Aoki?

"Haha, you guys have such vivid imaginations! Aoki is probably still working overtime, how could he be streaming with me?"

"As for who the mystery guest is, please follow Qishu's footsteps to find out!"

…………

Rotom followed the ship from the best angle, and as the tree walked from near the ship's side to the deck, many elves that were not common in the Padia region and were not familiar to most viewers suddenly appeared in the shot.

The exquisite and adorable Sylveon, the beautiful and elegant shiny Gardevoir, the cool and aloof Zoroark, and the magnificent Milotic that occasionally leaps out of the sea as the yacht slowly moves forward.

Some viewers have already recognized the trainers of these distinctive Pokémon.

"Wow, Master Pigeon!"

At the same time, Milotic, which had just flashed across the screen, leaped high into the air again from the shimmering sea, and this time, a person was sitting on his back—Xia Chen.

Xia Chen leaped from Milotic onto the deck in one swift motion, landing with one hand on the ground. Gaia would give him a perfect score for his landing posture.

"That's right, our guest for the first episode is my Pixiv senior, the one everyone is very familiar with, [I'm Not a Cuckoo Pigeon], Xia Chen!"

Xia Chen, who has been operating on Pixiv for two years and has over ten million followers, can indeed be considered a senior to Qi Shu, who has only been a streamer for less than half a year.

"Good morning, everyone! It's a great honor to be a guest in Master Qishu's live stream~"

Both "Master Qishu" and "Miss Qishu" are affectionate nicknames given to Qishu by fans, but the former is a bit more flattering.

Xia Chen, who understands the importance of creating a good show, naturally chose this title, which was more likely to generate buzz.

Sure enough, as soon as Xia Chen finished greeting them, the Bean Doves mixed in with the Magnemite also became active.

"Master Pigeon, please be more reserved, don't embarrass our Bean Pigeon!"

"What are you saying? If Master Pigeon doesn't call me Lord Qishu, he's unworthy of the title [The Most Affectionate in the Eastern Empire]. That would be a disgrace to our Bean Pigeon!"

"Don't think you can't be found by Cynthia in other people's live streams. I'll open portals in all my fan groups and expose you right now!"

"Just wait, Garchomp will fly over and kill you in a minute!"

"Seeing that Xia Chen is just as eager to please Lord Qishu as I am, I feel relieved. Lord Qishu truly is the only light in this complicated and chaotic world!"

When Xia Chen appeared in the live stream, the entire chat became strange, but this did increase the activity level.

Qi Shu promptly picked up the conversation.

"Alright, today's activity is... the famous sea fishing!"

"But before the event begins, there's one more friend I'd like to introduce to everyone~"

Xia Chen has already appeared, so there's no need to guess who the last person is; it's naturally Mingyi, who has been challenging Niangguang Dojo for the past few days.

This led to the introduction of the last person on the trip, and the three of them officially began the main purpose of this sea voyage: sea fishing.

Meanwhile, the unease in the heart of the lonely old dragon, who had been told by Xia Chen that there would be a live broadcast event but did not want to show his face and was resting in his room, grew stronger.

Chapter 255 I finally got to pet a mythical beast!

Xia Chen's arrival undoubtedly boosted the popularity of Qishu's live stream by a significant margin.

Moreover, since there was no prior notice, the outdoor live stream was far from reaching its peak popularity at the beginning.

As time went on and the news spread, more and more DouDouGe came to QiShu's live stream.

Before long, the popularity of the live stream had already surpassed the historical record of the previous Qishu birthday party, and the number of viewers also continued to rise.

Inside the Brewing Light Dojo, Adrina stared at the rapidly rising backend data, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

The collaboration turned out even better than she had imagined, and all the humiliation she had endured at that guy's hands was worth it.

Turning our attention back to the live-streaming room next door, we saw that the three of them had already moored their yacht and boarded three small speedboats to prepare for sea fishing.

Just sea fishing isn't very interesting. Since it's an event, we should organize some competitive small competitions, such as who can catch the most Pokémon or the rarest ones.

Fishing in the Pokémon world is somewhat different from that in the original world; besides fishing, battles are also inevitable.

After all, the targets for fishing include not only ordinary fish, but also spirits with special abilities.

No matter how special the fishing tackle is, if those fish spirits use their moves, the angler could be in danger.

Therefore, fishing in this world is an extremely challenging and dangerous sport.

The three participants in this sea fishing competition have varying skill levels: Qi Shu, the gym leader; Xia Chen, who is still at the elite level; and Ming Yi, who is still a seasoned newbie.

To increase the fun and balance of the competition, the three decided to shuffle the Pokémon they each brought.

After a simple draw, Qi Shu drew three "fishing partners": Frog, Zoroark, and Frog, while Ming Yi drew Electivire, Milotic, and Cinderace. Xia Chen was left with only Xeno'jiiva, Sylveon, and Gardevoir.

The best draw among the three is undoubtedly Mingyi, who has two admirals skilled in naval battles, Daedalus and Milotic. The worst draw is Xiachen, who doesn't have a single Pokémon that can go into the water.

However, absolute fairness cannot be guaranteed, and Xia Chen did not try to cheat by asking for a re-draw.

With their respective spirits by their side, the three boarded a speedboat and set off immediately.

…………

There was only one Rotom phone in charge of filming. In order to prevent Rotom from running around and getting too tired, the three of them stayed close to each other, keeping a distance where they could hear each other if they shouted.

Because it was Qishu's live stream, Rotom spent most of his time on Qishu's site, only occasionally flying over to Xia Chen and Mingyi's to see how things were going.

Qi Shu, who was sea fishing, finally took off her loose yellow coat, revealing a figure-hugging black bodysuit underneath.

To be honest, this outfit isn't exactly bordering on suggestive, as it doesn't reveal anything, but compared to the casual clothes, it looks a bit too revealing.

In addition, the large movements when pulling the rod transform the energetic and lively loli in her daily live streams into a sporty and mature woman. Her heroic and dashing temperament unintentionally touched many people, and naturally attracted the attention of many lesbians who like this style.

However, what's even more appealing than the pretty girls is the sport of sea fishing itself. Compared to the rigid and formulaic battles between Pokémon, the primitive and wild nature of sea fishing has a unique charm.

Trainers are no longer just the ones directing from the sidelines; in addition to manipulating the fishing rod, they sometimes have to personally assist their Pokémon in taming prey from the sea.

In this respect, Xia Chen has a considerable advantage, after all, his superpowers, which he has been diligently training, are now at a certain level.

It's probably better than the Money-Gathering Spirit, but weaker than the Sticky Treasure.

Commonly known as "vegetarian chicken".

But Xia Chen may be a novice, but most ordinary fish or fish spirits in the sea aren't much stronger, so this superpower is perfect for fishing.

With the help of Gardevoir's psychic abilities and Sylveon's flexible ribbons, Xia Chen managed to keep up with Mingyi and Qishu in the competition even after half a morning.

This is actually a remarkable achievement. Qishu has two frogs, Electric Belly Frog and Froghead Frog, who are proficient in water combat, and Naruina's Milotic and Giant Electric Petal are even more so.

Xia Chen's lineup of Sylveon, Gardevoir, and Luxray is unmatched in terms of team composition alone, unless Luxray is illegally electrofished.

But Xia Chen was clearly not that ruthless. He glanced at his watch and realized it was almost time for the agreed-upon break. He put away his fishing rod, sorted out the fish and Pokémon he had caught, and returned to the yacht.

…………

"Three light cod, five needlefish, five heartfish, eighteen carp, wow, and I even caught a trolleyweed! Mingyi has had a great haul!"

During halftime, it was natural to tally up everyone's catch; ordinary fish didn't count.

Among the various fish Pokémon, the most common Magikarp has the lowest score, only one point. Fish that are harder to catch, such as Heartfish and Needlefish, have two points, while ferocious fish like Light Cod have three points.

The one with the highest score weight is undoubtedly the extremely rare Dragon-type Pokémon baby, Lala Algae, which scores a full five points.

After a series of statistics and counts, the first half of the morning's sea fishing competition came to an end. Mingyi was far ahead with 52 points, Qishu was close behind with 48 points, but Xiachen fell behind and dropped to 38 points.

Although the gap of 52 points between them and the leader Mingyi is not particularly large, it will not be easy to turn the tide in the afternoon's match.

However, since it's an entertainment-oriented competition, there's nothing wrong with everyone having fun and the audience enjoying themselves.

Of course, not all the fish caught could be kept or served on the table. After treating them well as an apology for catching them, all the fish were released back into the sea.

Xia Chen's merit from releasing the fish increases infinitely.

After the morning's sea fishing activity ended, Xia Chen returned to the cabin alone to prepare lunch, while Qi Shu and Ming Yi stayed on the deck to continue their live broadcast.

The live stream content is, of course, casual conversation and cuddling with the adorable elves.

This is thanks to Xia Chen again. Putting everything else aside, when it comes to the looks of the Pokémon, no famous trainer in the world can rival Xia Chen in this regard.

And it's not just about appearance; rarity is equally important.

While Sylveon and Milotic are no longer as rare as they were last year thanks to Xia Chen's promotion, Shiny Gardevoir isn't something you can get just by feeding Pokémon Energy Cubes.

Not to mention the ghost Zoroark, whose origins remain a mystery to this day.

With these Pokémon appearing on screen, Qishu's live stream viewership surged once again.

Adrina, who was closely monitoring the backend data, wanted to keep Xia Chen tied to Niangguang City.
