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

Lin Dao first searched for basic information about the world.

Familiar country names, maps, and historical events pop up on the screen...

Indeed, apart from minor differences in details, the basic framework of this world is extremely similar to my original world.

He breathed a sigh of relief; at least he didn't have to start from scratch to learn everything about civilized society.

Next came the crucial part, where Lin Dao entered keywords such as "world upheaval" and "monster invasion".

A massive amount of information appeared on the screen.

A video caught Lin Dao's attention: a yellow, rat-like creature was releasing a strong electric current on the street, causing the circuits of the entire street to fail.

The video is titled "Lightning Monster Attacks City, Causing Widespread Power Outage".

The fear in the comments section was palpable: "This isn't a natural creature, it's a monster!" "The government must take action!" "Our world has been invaded!"

Lin Dao continued reading.

About two months ago, countries began to take military action.

It started as small-scale driving away and capturing, but quickly escalated into a clearing operation.

An event that particularly caught Lin Dao's attention occurred a month ago: the United States encouraged its neighbor, Mexico, to carry out a large-scale extermination operation against the "monsters" that had appeared in its volcanic region.

Lin Dao clicked on the related report, and a blurry but shocking video began to play.

At the foot of Popocatépetl, Mexico’s largest volcano, troops are assembling.

Suddenly, the crater spewed out unusual dark red smoke, and a huge figure slowly rose from the smoke.

As the video zoomed in, Lin Dao held his breath.

It was a reddish-brown creature that resembled a turtle, with brown and orange spots on its body, metal bracelet-like structures on its legs, gray on the darker side of its body, a gray protective structure covering its face, and orange-red eyes.

It stands atop the lava, like a giant beast that has stepped out of mythology.

"Sidorlan..." Lin Dao murmured.

The video continues: Mexican troops open fire, shells and missiles are fired at the creature.

Sidora simply lowered her head slightly, and all attacks that approached her were deflected or vaporized by an invisible heat barrier.

Then, it opened its mouth, not to spew out flames, but to release a massive, swirling storm of lava and fire that instantly engulfed the frontline troops.

What followed was even more shocking: with the "technical support" of the United States, a tactical nuclear bomb was dropped on the crater.

(Please remember the website 20 ...

At the moment of the explosion, the entire screen was filled with white light.

When the scene returned to normal, Sidson did not fall down; instead, his size seemed to have increased, and his entire body radiated a scorching light.

Its forelimbs slammed heavily into the ground, and from it, lava spread outwards like waves, turning an area of ​​several kilometers into scorched earth.

The video ends with a few seconds showing a striking black scar on a satellite image, labeled "Former site of the 3rd Mechanized Division of Mexico".

Even though Lin Dao had been mentally prepared, on the morning of his second day in this world, as he relaxed, he began to wonder if he was truly capable of handling this difficult "profession." In the end, he could only take it one step at a time.

Seeing the large-scale casualties in the video, whether from Pokémon or humans, Lin Dao closed his eyes and sighed.

Lin Dao carefully experienced his enhanced body and couldn't help but recall his previous life. It's not shameful to lie down when you don't have the power, but what is it to lie down when you have the power? To hand over the world to ambitious people and cold-blooded, cruel villains?

When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with complex emotions—pain, anger, helplessness, and determination.

"A second-tier god, Heatran," he said in a low voice, introducing with a hint of bitterness, "that move should be Lava Storm. It was enraged... no, it was just defending itself."

"A second-level god? Sidora? You know this... monster? After the incident in Mexico, countries began to adopt a conservative defense, and several major powers also began to urgently research targeted weapons." Li Hao said cautiously. He had been watching from the side and heard Lin Dao's whisper.

Lin Dao turned to look at him, his eyes sharp: "It's not a monster. It's called Heatran, a legendary Pokémon of the Fire and Steel types."

He paused, seemingly choosing his words carefully, "Moreover, it was probably provoked by you... by the attacks from humans."

Shedran is generally of a stable temperament, as long as its territory is not invaded...

"Pokémon?" Li Hao caught the unfamiliar word. "You mean those monsters?"

"They are not monsters," Lin Dao said seriously. "They are intelligent, emotional beings, just different from us."

Li Hao was stunned.

For the past three months, everyone, including himself, has called those creatures "monsters," "monsters," and "disaster beasts."

Official documents use the neutral term "unidentified organisms," but they have long been demonized by the public.

But this person in front of me says...they aren't monsters?

"But they attack humans—"

"Don't you attack them too?"

Lin Dao interrupted him, pointing to the video screen.

"Look at this. Did they strike first, or did the humans strike first?"

Li Hao was speechless. The cause of the Mexican volcano incident had already been thoroughly investigated: the United States attempted to capture the "monster" in the crater for research, using Mexico as a pawn, which angered it and led to the subsequent tragedy.

However, public opinion had already been steered towards the narrative of "monsters brutally attacking humans," and no one cared about the truth.

Lin Dao continued to look at his phone, his expression growing increasingly serious.

He witnessed the initial armed suppression in various countries, the spontaneous "hunting teams" organized by the people, the overwhelming hate speech on the Internet, and the voices of a few who tried to communicate but were labeled as "traitors" or "saints".

"Sigh, I didn't expect the situation to develop like this." Lin Dao rubbed his temples, looking extremely tired and with a headache.

"This head-on confrontation can't go on any longer. Neither humans nor Pokémon should continue with these meaningless sacrifices. What should I do to get humans and Pokémon to coexist peacefully?"

His voice carried a deep sense of helplessness, as if this question had been swirling in his mind for a long time.

Li Hao remained silent for a while. Although he was just a small-time streamer who took risks to make money, he wasn't stupid.

The person in front of me clearly knows a lot of inside information and seems to genuinely want to change the status quo.

After a moment of silence, Li Hao scratched his head and said cautiously, "Well... although I don't quite understand what you're trying to do, I think that if we want humans and... Pokémon to coexist peacefully, we should at least let both sides understand each other first, right? Just like when people interact, if they don't know each other, misunderstandings are bound to happen."

Lin Dao suddenly looked up, his eyes lighting up.

"That's right!" He slapped his thigh, his voice regaining its energy. "You're absolutely right! Communication, getting to know each other, understanding—that's the first step! How could I not have thought of something so simple!"

Li Hao was startled by his reaction and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Well... of course. I'm known for being smart in our area..."

Lin Dao ignored his boasting and stared intently at the phone in his hand, as if it were a rare treasure.

His mind raced, and ideas burst forth like sparks.

Live streaming...mobile phones...internet...information dissemination...

One of the most prominent characteristics of modern human society is the rapid flow of information.

If he can use this to show people the true nature of Pokémon, explain their behavior, and share knowledge about living with them...

Just like Professor Oak.

The scholar who, through research and education, helped generations of trainers understand Pokémon and build bonds with them in the Pokémon world.

Lin Dao gripped his phone tightly, his eyes hardening.

"I've made up my mind," he announced, his voice filled with unprecedented determination. "I'm going to do live streaming."

"Live stream?" Li Hao was stunned. "Live stream what? Live stream how you get chased by monsters—no, I mean, Pokémon?"

"No." Lin Dao shook his head, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Live stream educational content. Live stream about Pokémon's habits, their personalities, the principles behind their abilities, and... how to safely coexist with them."

He looked at Li Hao with burning eyes: "I want to be the 'Professor Oak' of this world."

"Dr. Oki...?" Li Hao was completely dumbfounded.

"A scholar in my world who has dedicated his life to studying Pokémon and spreading knowledge to everyone," Lin Dao explained simply.

"What the world needs now is not more weapons and hatred, but knowledge and understanding."

"I want to tell people that they are not monsters, but beings with feelings, personalities, and who deserve respect and understanding, just like us. I want to teach people how to get along with them, how to avoid conflict, and even... how to become partners."

"Could I borrow your phone for a while? In return..."

Lin Dao pulled a few orange-yellow fruits from his tattered pocket. "Here you go. Orange berries can restore stamina and heal minor injuries. They're very useful in the wild."

Li Hao took the fruit; it felt warm to the touch and emitted a faint fragrance.

He recalled the speed and judgment Lin Dao had displayed when saving him, and looking at the resolute gaze in the man before him, he gritted his teeth:

"You can borrow my phone! But I have one condition."

"you say."

"I want to go with you!" Li Hao straightened his chest, even though his legs were still weak.

"I can help you shoot videos and do live streams! I've worked as a streamer for three months, I know how to attract viewers! Besides..." His voice trailed off, "I'm too scared to go back to the city alone, who knows what I might run into on the way."

Lin Dao scrutinized him, then smiled after a moment: "Alright. But let's make this clear first, it'll be dangerous for you to follow me, and you'll have to listen to me."

"No problem!" Li Hao quickly agreed, then added, "By the way, my name is Li Hao, what's yours?"

"Lin Dao." Lin Dao extended his hand. "It's a pleasure doing business with you."

As they clasped hands, the mad badger not far away had finished eating the food in its backpack, licked its paws contentedly, glanced at them, and then turned and disappeared into the bushes.

Looking in the direction it had gone, Li Hao suddenly asked, "Brother Lin, that... Mad Badger, what kind of Pokémon was it?"

"That's a snake-striped bear," Lin Dao explained while checking his phone's battery.

"It's a Normal-type Pokémon, very curious, greedy, and likes to collect shiny things. As long as you don't steal its food or threaten it, it generally won't attack you unless provoked. It probably bumped into you just now because it smelled the snacks in your bag."

"It's...it's that simple?" Li Hao's mouth dropped open.

"Many times, the cause of conflict is that simple." Lin Dao put away his phone and looked into the depths of the forest.

"Let's go. We need to find a safe place to spend the night before dark, and then... start our first live stream."

As the sun began to set, it cast long shadows of the two people.

Li Hao picked up the torn backpack and stuffed the usable items into the cloth bag Lin Dao had given him.

He glanced back at the path he had come from, then looked at the mysterious forest ahead, and finally his gaze fell on the glowing pendant around Lin Dao's neck.

For the first time in three months, he felt curiosity rather than fear about the world outside the city.

"Brother Lin," he caught up with Lin Dao and couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly are you? How do you know so much about... Pokémon?"

Lin Dao paused, but did not turn around.

"A person who should have died, but was given a second chance." His voice was soft, but it clearly reached Li Hao's ears.

"An ordinary person who wanted to stop more unnecessary deaths."
