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

It wasn't heat or light, but a genuine vibration, as if some ancient being was awakening.

The blue gem burst forth with an unprecedented brilliance, so intense that it even overshadowed the golden orb of light in the mouth of the Salamence.

"This is..." Lin Dao looked down and saw the Gene Wedge automatically floating in front of his chest.

Then, an unbelievable thing happened.

The light of the Gene Wedge unfolded behind Lin Dao, forming three enormous, halo-shrouded phantoms.

Although its exact appearance is unclear, its outline, slender dragon-shaped body, majestic posture, and extraordinary presence make it undoubtedly a projection of the Three Dragons of the Dao!

At the same time, an indescribable pressure swept across the entire venue.

"Ugh!!!"

Just as the Flying Dragon was about to unleash its Dragon Star Swarm, it was as if struck on the head by an invisible giant hammer. The energy gathered in its mouth instantly dissipated, and it let out a mournful cry mixed with pain, fear, and confusion. Its massive body was forced down from the sky by this irresistible pressure and crashed heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

It struggled to lift its head and look at the phantom in the light. The crimson in its dragon eyes receded like a tide, leaving only awe and trembling from the deepest part of its bloodline.

That wasn't physical pressure, but a shock that acted directly on the soul.

Ye Aiguo, Xiao Wang, Li Hao, and even Growlithe and Pichu all collapsed to their knees, unable to breathe, as if a boulder was pressing on their chests.

The Pokémon that had just awakened fell into a coma again.

Even the elf egg in Lin Dao's arms, under the gentle radiation of this light, had its shell glowing faster, and a faint yet clear, vibrant and dependent response came from inside: "Humming~~".

This call from the unborn child was like the clearest spring water, irrigating the heart of the Flying Dragon, which was scorched by rage.

Under the combined influence of the supreme pressure of the Three Dragons of the Dao (phantoms) and the resonance of the bloodline between parent and child, the last trace of mad red light in the eyes of the Flying Dragon completely dissipated, returning to clarity, though it was still filled with sadness, exhaustion, and lingering fear.

Lin Dao stood in front of the three illusory figures, and he himself felt a strange change.

His consciousness seemed to have been partially extracted and merged into some grander, more ancient will.

His gaze turned cold and deep; it wasn't the gaze of a human, but rather... the gaze of a god.

The light slowly faded, and the three illusory figures quietly disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

The light of the Gene Wedge faded, and with a soft "click," it fell back into Lin Dao's outstretched hand. The sapphire's brilliance dimmed, and its temperature returned to normal.

The terrifying pressure that had enveloped the entire area vanished instantly.

Lin Dao staggered, almost collapsing from exhaustion. The icy divinity in his eyes receded like the tide, returning to its usual clarity, only tinged with deep weariness and a bitter smile.

He looked down at the gene wedge in his hand and muttered to himself, with a mix of relief and helplessness, "At least... it worked this time."

Then, he took a deep breath, suppressed his trembling, and holding the unharmed Pokémon egg, which even seemed more vibrant because of the light it had just received, he walked step by step, resolutely towards the Salamence lying on the ground, looking at him with a complex expression.

He gently placed the egg on the soft ground in front of the Salamence.

"Brother Lin!" Li Hao was the first to rush over and help him up. "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing..." Lin Dao waved his hand and looked at the Flying Dragon.

By this time, Salamence had completely calmed down.

It carefully sheltered the egg beneath its body, using its wings to protect it, as if afraid of losing it again.

Then, it raised its head and looked at Lin Dao, its dragon eyes filled with complex emotions: gratitude, apology, and exhaustion.

It let out a soft cry, no longer fierce, but gentle, almost sobbing. It was saying: Thank you.

Lin Dao nodded without saying a word, his meaning clear without being spoken.

In the distance, Ye Aiguo had already struggled to his feet and, with slightly trembling hands, operated the communication device to send out a text message: "The crisis has been temporarily resolved, the Flying Dragon has regained its senses, and the egg has been returned."

Soon, more engine and propeller sounds came from the edge of the forest, and a large number of support troops, fire trucks, and medical teams began to enter the devastated battlefield.

Firefighting, rescuing injured Pokémon and potentially surviving survey team members, cleaning up the scene, collecting evidence... one task after another was quickly launched.

Many wild Pokémon that were originally wary of humans showed a significant decrease in hostility after witnessing the miraculous scene and the interaction between Salamence and Lindao. Some even began to passively accept human assistance after being communicated with by Growlithe, Kangaskhan, and the Pokémon that Lindao had healed.

Xiao Wang then walked over to Wang Yafei's side.

The female spy was already stunned by what she had just seen, sitting blankly on the ground with empty eyes.

Xiao Wang handcuffed her, preparing to take her back for trial.

Li Hao picked up the snake-striped bear and suddenly burst into tears: "Thank goodness... thank goodness... everyone is still alive..."

Growlithe walked to Lin Dao's feet and gently rubbed against him.

Pichu ran over and stared at Lindao expectantly, as if asking: Did we do a good job?

Lin Dao patted the two little ones on the head: "You did a great job. You saved an egg, and indirectly saved the whole forest."

This disaster has finally shown signs of ending.

Lin Dao gripped the gene wedge tightly in his hand.

The scene from just now was still replaying in his mind: the three phantom figures, the oppressive aura, and that transcendent state.

The power of the Three Dragons of the Dao was far greater than he had imagined.

He looked at the gene wedge in his hand, then at the forest that was recovering its vitality, and a decision took shape in his mind.

Strength alone is not enough, nor is knowledge alone.

He needs a systematic and organized approach to institutionalize and normalize the connection between the two worlds.

Poké Ball techniques, berry cultivation, Pokémon medicine, the Trainer system... the knowledge in Arceus's phone must be spread as soon as possible.

And today's event is an opportunity.

An opportunity to prove to the world that humans and Pokémon can cooperate, rescue each other, and face crises together.

Even if there were any hidden dangers, looking at the Flying Dragon not far away, Lin Dao already felt confident.

"Secretary Ye," Lin Dao turned around, "I think you should also be planning to have a formal, face-to-face conversation with me."

"You can arrange your time after you get back."

Ye Aiguo looked at him and nodded earnestly: "I will report to my superiors. I believe that after today's events, no one will doubt your sincerity and ability anymore."

Lin Dao nodded, taking one last look at the forest. The fire was being extinguished, the wounded were being treated, and humans and Pokémon were working together on the ground.
