I'm live-streaming Pokémon science popularization on New World.

At dusk, by the stream, Lin Dao led Li Hao to catch some fish for dinner.

After observing for the past few days, Lin Dao had already noticed an interesting phenomenon.

Although the arrival of Pokémon changed the ecology, animals in the human world did not directly "evolve" into Pokémon as depicted in some fantasy novels.

On the contrary, they seem to have been affected by some kind of environmental radiation, with their reproduction and growth rates significantly accelerating.

The nest of baby rabbits they saw yesterday is now able to run around unsteadily, and the fish in the stream are more active and plump than they remembered.

"It seems that the fusion of the two worlds is not just a spatial superposition," Lin Dao said as he rolled up his trouser legs.

"There are also deeper ecological impacts. This is both a challenge and an opportunity for humanity. Food sources may become more abundant, but we also have to face more complex ecosystems."

Li Hao, holding up his phone to film, asked, "Brother Lin, do you think it's possible for animals in our world to hybridize with Pokémon?"

"No," Lin Dao shook his head firmly. "These are two completely different life forms, just like cats and dogs can't interbreed."

"But they will influence each other and form new ecological niches. We need time to observe and understand these changes."

Just as he was about to go into the water, the Gene Wedge hanging around his neck suddenly emitted a clear warmth.

Immediately afterwards, the Arceus mobile phone system, which was integrated into the depths of his consciousness, popped up a series of information prompts with unprecedented clarity and immediacy.

There was no delay, no lag, as if some long-standing limitation had been lifted.

[Special conditions met: Initial improvement in the understanding and relationship between humans in the main world and Pokémon]

[Data Analysis: Today's live broadcast has impacted 182,457 individuals, with 34.2% experiencing a cognitive shift (from fear to curiosity/acceptance)]

[Task System Enabled]

[Current Main Mission: Spread Knowledge, Eliminate Fear]

[Mission Description: Continuously improve humanity's understanding of Pokémon. Each time a human shifts from "fear" to "acceptance," the world's integration process will accelerate, and the host will receive corresponding points.]

[Points redemption system activated...]

Lin Dao froze, remaining in a comical position with one foot in the stream and the other still on the bank, the icy water contrasting sharply with the warmth of the Gene Wedge. His brain processed this information in an instant, like a computer that had suddenly been upgraded.

"Brother Lin? What's wrong?" Li Hao asked疑惑地 from the shore, his phone camera still pointed at him, intending to film some wilderness survival footage. "Is the water cold?"

Lin Dao snapped out of his daze, straightened up, and shook the water droplets off his hands to cover up his unease: "It's nothing. I just saw something flash in the water. It was probably fish scales reflecting light."

He stepped ashore, his mind racing.

The points system, the mission system, the world fusion acceleration... When the Three Dragons of the Dao sent him to this world, they did say that he was an "agent" to handle the fusion of the two worlds. But the situation was urgent at the time, and that magnificent figure only gave a brief explanation, leaving many details unclear.

In retrospect, the Arceus phone was not just a simple detector and map, but a comprehensive tool that guided him to complete his mission.

And those exchangeable documents...

Each and every one of these is a cornerstone for establishing a system where the two worlds coexist! Poké Balls allow humans to safely carry Pokémon, berry cultivation provides a stable food source, Energy Cubes promote the healthy development of Pokémon, and medical knowledge reduces unnecessary casualties…

If I can earn points from today's live stream, then I'll keep doing it...

Lin Dao felt his heart pounding powerfully in his chest; it wasn't just excitement, but also a heavy sense of responsibility and hope.

Hope, true hope, finally took root and sprouted in his heart at this moment.

This is not blind optimism, but rather a practical and feasible path forward.

Lin Dao closed his eyes, feeling the warm pulse emanating from the gene wedge.

The pulse seemed to be in sync with his heartbeat, one beat, two beats, steady and strong.

He finally understood the true purpose of the Three Dragons of the Dao sending him to this world.

It's not about letting him solve all the problems single-handedly, but about giving him seeds so he can sow and cultivate them on this land, eventually growing into a system that connects the two worlds.

His live stream today is the first seed to sprout.

"Take it one step at a time," Lin Dao said to himself, as if speaking to the being that chose him. "Start with the basics."

"Are you still catching fish?" Li Hao asked again, seeing Lin Dao standing there lost in thought.

Lin Dao nodded, but his eyes lit up: "Catch them, but before that..."

He said to Li Hao, "Turn on the live stream."

"Now?" Li Hao glanced at the sky. "It's almost dark. Is anyone still watching?"

"Give it a try." A new light shone in Lin Dao's eyes.

"We want to do more than just showcase wilderness survival; we want to seize every opportunity to spread knowledge."

Although Li Hao was puzzled, he followed Lin Dao's instructions and went directly to the live streaming website to open the live streaming room.

He casually wrote the title: "Evening Extra Broadcast: Catching Fish by the Stream and a Pokémon Mini-Lesson".

To his surprise, even during this off-peak time, viewers flooded in just a few seconds after the live stream started:

"What kind of surprise attack was this?"

"I just got off work! I made it!"

"I'm just a working stiff, I had some time to watch the replays and clips earlier, now I'm going to start a live stream!"

"Brother Lin, are you going into the water? Be careful!"

"Li Hao, don't let your hand shake!"

"How are the Kangaskhan family doing? How is Growlithe recovering?"

Lin Dao smiled at the camera: "Hello everyone, I'm Lin Dao."

"I am Li Hao," Li Hao quickly added.

"We were going to go into the water to catch fish for dinner, so we thought we might as well broadcast it and let everyone see what it's like in the wild."

As Lin Dao spoke, he rolled up his trouser legs again.

"And I just saw a Pokémon in the water, so I'll give you all a simple explanation."

He stepped back into the stream, his movements more composed than before.

The sun had already dipped westward to the treetops, and the water surface shimmered with a warm orange glow.

Lin Dao stood quietly in the knee-deep water, his gaze moving across the surface.

Suddenly, with lightning speed, he reached out and scooped a small Pokémon swimming in the water.

The Pokémon thrashed about in his hand, splashing water everywhere.

As the camera zooms in, viewers see a small Pokémon that resembles a koi fish.

Its body is mainly orange-red, with a white belly, obvious white stripes on both sides of its head, bulging round eyes, a large mouth that is slightly upturned, and a blank and adorable look on its face.

"This is Magikarp."

Lin Dao lifted up the fish-shaped Pokémon that was constantly thrashing about; its tail slapped the air, making a "plop plop" sound.

Water-type Pokémon are very common in the Pokémon world.

Magikarp seemed to realize that struggling was futile, so it simply gave up, staring at Lin Dao with its round eyes and opening and closing its mouth.
