Pokémon: Did you play Pokémon today?

Chapter 313 "Record complete, logged in as an unknown Pokémon!"

The screen switched to the inventory interface of FireRed/LeafGreen.

In the "Important Items" section, two fossils of different shapes lie quietly.

The strange tree held its breath and looked at their names and thumbnails.

When their gaze fell upon the second fossil, the entire live stream, including Qi Shu's own voice, seemed to hear...

With a loud "boom!"

The fossil is called a crustacean.

Its shape and outline are almost identical to the partial pattern of the heavy carapace she just pieced together on the puzzle of the main hall of the Aluf ruins!

"Just as I expected!"

Qi Shu excitedly showed his discovery to the live stream, as happy as a child.

"So that means the Pokémon described in the text must be ancient Pokémon resurrected from fossilized shells!"

Fossil helmet!

"Holy crap, that's amazing! Two generations of games are directly connected! Who would have thought of that?"

"Amazing Tree! My Superman!"

"So detailed! Incredibly detailed! They even managed to connect these details! This is our Pokémon!"

"Key point added, take notes!"

"Teacher Salty Fish dug so deep a foreshadowing! Who would have guessed that!"

Enjoying the flood of praise and amazement in the live stream, Qi Shu was full of energy.

She compared the patterns of the fossilized shells in her game inventory with the shape of the fossilized helmet in her memory.

Quickly manipulate the interface to piece together the broken mural fragments on the ground.

Accompanied by crisp and pleasant game sound effects, the outline of a fossil helmet lying down and resting gradually appears on the wall.

Just as the last crucial fragment was perfectly fitted in...

Rumble—

The entire ancient ruins began to tremble violently without warning!

Gravel fell in a flurry, and dust filled the air.

In the game screen, a bright red exclamation mark suddenly appeared above Little Wonder Tree's head!

Suddenly, a dull hum of machinery came from the seemingly solid stone platform beneath her feet!

Then, with a sudden crash, it opened downwards, revealing a bottomless, pitch-black hole!

"ah--"

Little Qishu and Laurel Leaf had no time to react. With a cry of alarm, they plummeted straight down along with the shattered edge of the platform!

The entire game screen suddenly went black, plunging into absolute darkness.

All that remained was the sharp, whistling sound of an object rapidly falling through the air from the speakers, and —

At that moment, Qi Shu himself and countless viewers in the live stream held their breath.

thump.

A soft thud broke the chilling silence.

A moment later, a soft white light grew stronger, gradually dispelling the surrounding darkness—it was Laurel Leaf who had used the Flash attack in time.

The game screen gradually lit up and became clearer.

Little Qishu was sitting safely on Laurel Leaf's broad, soft back. Laurel Leaf's limbs were slightly bent, and he caught her steadily, perfectly cushioning the fall.

"Whew—that scared me to death!"

Qishu patted his chest, which didn't actually exist, and let out a long sigh of relief, his voice still trembling with lingering fear.

"Thank goodness! Thanks to you, Laurel Leaf! You're truly the most reliable partner!"

Laurel~

Laurel Leaf affectionately turned its head, nuzzled its cheek against the little sapling on its back, and let out a reassuring, gentle chirp.

At the same time, the "glow" emanating from the laurel leaf gradually expanded, slowly illuminating the underground space.

This appears to be a completely enclosed circular stone chamber; the space is not particularly wide, but rather spacious.

Several thick, ancient stone pillars stood all around, their surfaces carved with strange, unrecognizable patterns that vaguely resembled the abstract forms of some unknown Pokémon.

The ethereal yet slightly oppressive background music quietly begins, perfectly creating an ancient and mysterious atmosphere of isolation from the world.

"here it is----?"

The strange tree manipulated the little strange tree to get off the laurel leaf and cautiously observed its surroundings.

"We fell down after triggering a mechanism—this should be the hidden underground chamber in these ruins, right?"

The live stream chat also became very active.

"Hidden map! It's definitely a hidden map!"

"The trigger condition is way too hidden! It requires piecing together the mural from two different games? Who would have thought!"

"This background music — it's kind of creepy, I feel like something's about to come out."

"The atmosphere is amazing! Mr. Salty Fish knows horror games (not really)."

"So—what about the reward? Hidden rooms usually have treasure chests or rare Pokémon, right?"

The strange tree and the laurel leaf carefully explored the enclosed stone chamber.

The walls on all four sides were covered with densely packed, strange characters, perfectly sealed together, leaving no trace of any door or passageway.

The entire space was empty except for a few strange stone pillars that provided support; it resembled an elaborately crafted prison.

"Oh no—it seems there's no way out?"

Qi Shu scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled.

Just as she was racking her brains for a way to escape.

A faint light suddenly appeared in the dense darkness not far in front of us.

Immediately afterwards, the light stretched and deformed rapidly, outlining a vertical pupil out of thin air!

The black lines, like living things, twisted and converged around the pupil, eventually coalescing into a complex and mysterious single character symbol.

The faintly glowing "words" floated silently in mid-air.

Its central "pupil" seemed to possess a life of its own, staring intently at the small, strange tree below without blinking.

silent.

still.

Only that cold "gaze".

The more silent one is, the more the chill from the unknown creeps up one's spine, sending shivers down one's spine.

"A picture, a totem?!"

Qi Shu's voice changed instantly, and his heart jumped into his throat!

"She's...she's alive?!"

The unknown is always the best catalyst for fear.

Faced with this supernatural scene, her first reaction was to control the little strange tree to escape!

However, there was nowhere to escape from this sealed stone chamber!

All around were walls covered with strange writing!

Moreover, as she approached the wall, a chill ran down her spine.

Every single word on the wall, densely packed with text, seemed to have come alive, silently watching over her!

The single floating character did not launch an attack.

It simply drifted behind the little strange tree like a ghost, moving slowly and steadily, always keeping a certain distance.

No matter where Xiaoqishu turned, that cold "pupil" remained locked on her.

The viewers in the live chat were also quite frightened by this bizarre scene.

"Holy crap! What is that?! That's terrifying!"

"What is this?! A new Pokémon? It looks so disgusting!"

"It kept staring at me—it sent chills down my spine—"

"My mom asked me why I was watching the live stream under the covers —"

"Wait! Look, it didn't attack! Could it be the key to triggering some kind of event?"

Despite feeling uneasy, Qi Shu's professionalism as a streamer gave him renewed courage.

"Fine, alright—since there's no escaping it—"

She took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision.

"Baby Leaf, let's—let's go take a look!"

The strange tree, controlling the little strange tree and carrying the somewhat nervous laurel leaf, took the initiative to walk towards the floating, eerie text.

As soon as it enters a certain area.

"Beep beep beep————"

Little Tree's Pokédex suddenly emitted a rapid alarm, automatically popping up and unfolding the screen to display: "Unknown life form detected — recording and analyzing —"

"Record complete, logged in as an unknown Pokémon!"

"Unknown Totem Lv.5"

"Attribute: Superpower"

"Ability: Levitate (lifts the user from the ground, allowing them to dodge Ground-type moves)"

"Movement detected: Awakened Power"

"Additional explanation: Unknown totem, symbolizing Pokémon, its shape resembles writing on an old stone tablet, suggesting a deep connection between the two."

"Unknown Totem?! Pokémon?!"

Qishu stared at the description in the encyclopedia, completely stunned. His previous fear was instantly replaced by immense astonishment.

It wasn't a ghost or monster after all! That scared me to death!

Unknown Totem —

It's actually a completely new Pokémon!

She even manipulated the little tree to move forward two steps, wanting to see more clearly, and her tone made a complete 180-degree turn.

"Hmm... looking at it this closely, it actually has quite a few unique features~"

As the distance closes, the unique shape of the unknown totem becomes clearer in the picture.

The glowing single-character text, with a seemingly living pupil in the center, floats silently.

The sentiment in the comments section changed instantly.

"This really is Pokémon! The words have come to life!"

"Unknown Totem — This name is quite fitting."

"So those things on the wall—could they all be...? (It's terrifying to think about)"

"LV5! That's a really low level! Its ability is Levitate! It's immune to Ground-type moves! Interesting!"

Why does it seem a little dazed and cute? It keeps staring at me.

The unknown totem showed no particular reaction to the little strange tree's approach and observation.

Its "pupil" merely shifted slightly with the movement of the little strange tree, continuing its silent "gaze".

After fiddling with and observing the strange tree for a while, a bold idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

She suddenly lowered her voice and, in a tone that was both thieving and unable to hide her excitement, quietly asked the live stream audience, "Um—since it's a Pokémon—can I try to invite it to be my partner?"

'

Upon hearing this, the live chat exploded with astonishment: "Arrest him! Arrest him now! If we don't arrest him, are we even human?!"

"A hidden Pokémon! Absolutely rare! From the top of the tree!"

"But it doesn't look like it's capable of fighting—"

"Who cares! Let's just throw the ball first! This is living text!"

"Teacher Salty Fish: I knew you guys would want to catch me—"

"Qishu, stake your dignity as a top streamer on this, and grab it!"

"Okay! It's decided!"

Qi Shu's courage was ignited by the barrage of comments, and he loudly and energetically announced.

"Come be my partner! Unown!"

The unknown totem tilted its flat body slightly, and the characters flickered.

They didn't seem to fully understand the meaning of "partner," but they didn't show any obvious rejection or hostility either.

Seeing that the other party did not refuse, Qi Shu's confidence increased greatly.

She seized the opportunity and decisively threw out a Poké Ball while controlling the little tree!

The Poké Ball traced an arc and hit the target precisely!

Under the expectant gazes of Qishu and all the audience, Unown, just like any other Pokémon, transformed into a red light and was successfully sucked into the Poké Ball!

The Poké Ball landed on the stone surface and began to wobble slightly.

one time----

Two times —

Three times —

Just as the Poké Ball was about to stop shaking and a star effect symbolizing a successful capture was about to appear on top, Qishu's heart was in his throat, ready to cheer.

Click.

A sound like a small pebble falling came from somewhere.

Immediately afterwards!

The entire underground stone chamber began to tremble violently! And the tremors grew stronger and more intense!

Snapped!

The Poké Ball suddenly opened automatically, emitting a red light!

But the unknown totem that should have appeared did not return!

"?! Wait, wait a minute—"

Qi Shu's pupils contracted, before she could even react to what this unusual situation meant.

boom!!!

The countless strange characters carved and written on the four walls of the stone chamber suddenly burst forth with dazzling light!

They seemed to be awakened from a deep sleep, beginning to flicker and wriggle violently, and then—

They detached themselves from the walls and, like living black specks of light, gathered in the air in the center of the stone chamber!

One, two, ten, a hundred —

Countless unknown totems emerged!

These symbols are similar in shape to the previous unknown totem, yet they are all different, encompassing countless forms ranging from simple strokes to complex patterns!

They filled every corner of the stone chamber, floating silently.

Countless cold "pupils" focused intently on the tiny, wondrous tree in the center of the stone chamber!

The shock was indescribable!

"All, everything————"

Qi Shu felt like she was about to stop breathing, her nerves gripped by this epic visual spectacle.

Every single word here —

She was stunned, almost losing the ability to think.

"It's all Pokémon!"

As if in response to her whisper, all the floating, unknown totems began to move!

They were not disorderly, but began to rotate and fly rapidly around the small strange tree below.

It created countless black traces, forming a vortex of words.

At the center of the vortex, the light grew ever brighter!

The figures of countless unknown totems blurred, overlapped, and intertwined as they spun rapidly.

Finally, at the center of the vortex, they began to be pieced together and combined in an orderly manner according to some ancient agreement!

Gradually, a completely new silhouette took shape in the light and shadow.

Its elegant, deep blue body is revealed.

The white ribbons, as pure as clouds, moved without wind, dancing and swirling lightly around him.

Her long, crystal-like hair flowed behind her, radiating a hazy glow.

Beneath the crystal on her forehead, a pair of lifeless pupils, shimmering with crimson light, slowly opened.

Without a trace of emotion, it pierced through the flying, unknown totems, calmly "gazing" at the screen, or rather, at the little strange tree in the image.

An indescribable sense of oppression pierced through the screen and descended directly into the hearts of every viewer!

Legendary Pokémon.

The embodiment of the north wind, the water of purification.

Water Lord.

He appeared here.
