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

Over the next few days, Lin Dao's live streams gradually developed a fixed rhythm.

In the early morning, Dao would sit on a flat stone by the stream, facing the phone set up by Li Hao, and begin his "Pokémon Basic Knowledge Class".

From the most basic type advantages and disadvantages to the identification and countermeasures of common moves, from Pokémon's eating habits to simple emergency treatment of injuries and illnesses.

His explanations are insightful yet easy to understand, often drawing on readily available teaching materials from the camp.

Let Growlithe demonstrate how to carefully ignite a damp twig with a spark, let Oddish show how its leaves perform efficient photosynthesis, and even let Pichu control a weak electric current attack...

"Remember, when facing most Pokémon, calmness and respect are the first principles."

Lin Dao repeatedly emphasized, "Their attacks often stem from fear, territorial defense, or protection of their companions. Understanding their body language is more important than any weapon."

The afternoon was for on-site exploration.

Lin Dao led Li Hao and Growlithe, while Kangaskhan stayed behind at the camp. Guided by the map on Arceus's phone, they cautiously explored the area within a five-kilometer radius of the creekside camp.

He not only popularized the newly discovered Pokémon, the Greedy Squirrel family found in the berry bushes, the Zubat colony nesting on the rock wall, and the Poliwag leisurely spending its days in the stream, but also intentionally marked some dangerous areas.

"Look at this thicket," Lin Dao pointed to a dense jungle ahead, "There's an Arbok living in there. It's the one I mentioned that used Hyper Beam to injure Growlithe. It's very territorial, so let's go around it."

He set up a makeshift warning sign at a safe distance, writing in bright red marker: "Danger! Arbok territory! Detour!"

The other area is the beehive area.

"This is Beedrill territory," Lin Dao said in a low voice. "Don't go near it, don't use perfume or strong scents, and don't wear bright yellow clothes, as that might be mistaken for a provocation. If you accidentally wander in, stay calm, don't make any attacking gestures, and just back away."

He put up a more detailed sign here: "Beedrill Territory! Do Not Approach! If you accidentally enter, find terrain or obstacles to hide behind!"

They also discovered signs of activity from a mother and cub of circly bears. Lin Dao stopped 200 meters from the bear den: "Circly bears are of average strength and powerful. Especially the mother bear with cubs, they are extremely aggressive. We'll only observe from a distance here, not approach."

"The coniferous forest to the east is the territory of the Falcone clan. They are especially sensitive to intruders from high altitudes, and drones must never fly over it."

"In contrast, the birch forest to the west has a relatively mild population of birch birds, which usually only call out as a warning unless provoked."

The most thrilling moment was on the afternoon of the third day.

As Lin Dao explored the depths of the forest, he vaguely saw a huge shadow sweep across the canopy.

He immediately stopped and gestured for Li Hao to be quiet, while he used the maximum detection range of the Arceus phone to scan.

Salamence (?)

grade:???

Type: Dragon/Flying

characteristic:???

Recommendation: Getting closer will allow you to obtain more detailed information.

Lin Daodang did not see the message displayed on the Arceus phone: "Get closer for more details."

They immediately stopped, not attempting to go any further, but instead placed a warning sign in a prominent location on the outskirts, written in bold Chinese characters on a wooden board removed from an abandoned road sign.

"Extremely dangerous ahead! Do not proceed!" and nailed the plank firmly to an ancient tree.

"That's Salamence," Lin Dao solemnly told the audience during the live stream that night. "A late-blooming Pokémon of the Dragon and Flying types, it is known as a pseudo-legendary. An adult Salamence has the power to easily destroy a town. It has a violent temper and a strong sense of territory."

"If anyone sees a similar giant dragon-like creature in the wild, move away immediately and do not attempt to observe or record it."

The live chat was filled with exclamations:

"A dragon?! Dragons really exist?!"

"Destroying a town...that's even more powerful than planes and tanks, isn't it?"

"Thanks for the warning, streamer. I would never go deep into the forest, even if you killed me."

"So Pokémon have strong and weak versions, just like animals."

"My rational mind tells me I should be afraid, but why am I feeling a little excited...?"

Evenings are interactive time.

By the campfire, Lin Dao prepared dinner while answering questions from viewers in the live stream.

Growlithe lay at his feet, Pichu dozed on his lap, the Kangaskhan family rested quietly not far away, and the Zigzagoon waited eagerly for its meal.

This became a classic scene in the live stream, jokingly referred to by viewers as "Teacher Lin's Night Class".

That evening, a peculiar problem caught Lin Dao's attention.

The questioner, whose ID is "My Family Has a Ranch," described a situation that is quite representative: "Hello host, my family raises sheep on the grasslands. Recently, a strange 'sheep' has wandered into our flock. It looks a lot like a sheep, but its wool is exceptionally thick and white, and the wool on its head and tail is braided. It's very docile, grazing and sleeping with my sheep, but my parents and I are afraid to go near it. What is this? What should we do?"

Lin Dao's eyes lit up when he saw the question.

"This 'I have a ranch' guy," he said to the camera with a smile, "I don't know where you're from, but let me tell you, you've hit the jackpot."

He took a grapefruit he had just picked that day from his backpack and held it in front of the camera: "You're probably talking about Wooloo, the Normal-type sheep Pokémon. They are very docile Pokémon and can be raised like ordinary sheep."

Lin Dao explained in detail: "It eats and lives with your flock of sheep, which means it really likes its current environment and has made that grassland its home. You can feed it these berries to get it to accept you. The sweetness and nutrition of the berries are irresistible to most Pokémon."

He paused, his tone becoming somewhat excited: "The white wool all over a Wooloo's body grows continuously throughout its life. Even if you shave it completely bald, it will grow back to its original shape after 3 months. Moreover, research in the Pokémon world shows that the quality of Wooloo's wool is far superior to that of ordinary wool—it's softer, warmer, and more resilient."

"Clothing and carpets made from braided wool are high-end luxury items in the Pokémon world and are in high demand."

Lin Dao said seriously, "So, you can shave it when its fur grows long; it has high economic value. Of course, if you want better quality fur, you need to feed it carefully. If possible, feed it tree fruits, and its fur quality will improve significantly."

The live chat exploded instantly:

"Doesn't that mean we're going to make a fortune?!"

"Why didn't any Woolwire sheep get mixed in with my flock?! This isn't fair!"

"The streamer is too late! I think someone sold those fruits at our local market before. I'll go buy them tomorrow!"

Looking for wool braids and wool products! High price offered!

"I'm so jealous! Cute Pokémon and making money at the same time, what incredible luck!"

"So Pokémon aren't just dangerous, they can also bring economic benefits?"

"A new approach to ecological agriculture?!"

Lin Dao, watching the scrolling comments, added, "But remember, don't force Wooloo for financial gain. Pokémon have feelings; if you treat it well, it will repay you with better fur. If you mistreat it, it might leave, or even... in some cases, rebel."

"My family has a ranch" immediately sent ten big rockets and excitedly replied in the chat: "Thank you, streamer! I'll definitely take good care of it! I'll go find berries tomorrow!"

This question opened the door to a new world.

In the following questions, more and more people began to ask how to get along with the Pokémon that appear in their living areas, such as Oddish in the backyard, Wurmple near the orchard, and even Pidgey in the city park.

Lin Dao patiently answered all the questions, and before they knew it, it was late at night.

He looked at the sky, then at Li Hao, who seemed somewhat distracted all day and had drifted off several times during the live stream.

"Okay, actually, there's no need to send so many gifts," Lin Dao said to the camera. "I just hope that everyone can treat the Pokémon around them as friends and partners, not monsters or tools. Mutual respect is the key to harmonious coexistence."

He waved goodbye: "That's all for today, everyone. See you next time."

The comments section was filled with reluctance:

"Oh, it's already off? I can watch the marsupial mom with her baby for another three hours!"

Goodnight, Teacher Lin! Goodnight, Growlithe! Goodnight, Pichu!

"I'll be there on time tomorrow!"

"Picchu hasn't shown its electric discharge ability yet today..."

"Thank you, Teacher Lin. I learned so much today."
