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

Over the next few days, Lin Dao's life was filled with intensive meetings, technical seminars, and knowledge sharing.

During the day, he traveled between the officially arranged hotel and various heavily guarded conference rooms, connecting with expert teams from different fields.

In the evenings, he also had to organize materials and systematically explain the knowledge in the Arceus phone that urgently needed to be transformed in a way that the world could understand.

Li Hao was equally busy.

As a "local role model" for successfully coexisting with Pokémon, he was assigned to various official agencies, universities, and even communities to explain his practical experience, precautions, and mental preparation for interacting with Pokémon.

Although they lived in the same city, they could only meet briefly late at night to exchange their observations of the day.

The two were so busy they barely had time to breathe, as if they had been caught in a giant, highly efficient gear.

During these past few days, a figure has been quietly and efficiently accompanying Lin Dao – Shen Yu'er.

This meticulous and capable female graduate student, with the intentional arrangement of the authorities and the approval of Lin Dao, naturally took on the role of "assistant" or "secretary".

She not only coordinated Lin Dao's schedule and compiled meeting minutes, but also quickly absorbed the knowledge Lin Dao imparted with her outstanding learning ability and calm mind. She was also able to raise insightful questions in discussions of some technical details, becoming a smooth and reliable bridge between Lin Dao and the official Chinese team.

That afternoon, Lin Dao had just finished a video conference with experts in the fields of materials and energy.

He was explaining to researchers on the other side of the screen why, even using the most advanced alloys currently available on Earth, they couldn't manufacture an effective modern Poké Ball according to the blueprints.

"...The key is not the physical strength or manufacturing precision of the metal, but whether the material contains or can be assimilated by the 'original energy field of the Pokémon world'."

"The laws of the two worlds are still in the early stages of merging, and our metals lack that 'activity.' Therefore, the focus of large-scale production at this stage must be on improving the manufacturing process of 'green washing balls,' seeking to mechanize and standardize certain processes to increase output."

He pulled up the scanning data of the Jadeite Poké Ball: "The reason why the ancient method succeeded is that natural materials such as cones, ironwood, and Hetian jade have spontaneously absorbed free energy from the environment over a long period of time, forming a stable 'energy field.' Modern industrial processes, on the contrary, destroy this natural field."

An academician's voice came through the speaker: "Mr. Lin, do you mean that at this stage, we cannot mass-produce standard Poké Balls?"

"It is difficult to perfectly replicate it industrially, at least in the short term."

Lin Dao frankly stated, "But we can take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we can focus our efforts on researching how to 'empower' modern materials or find alternative energy media; on the other hand, we can prioritize improving and expanding the production of the Emerald Elf Ball."

He pulled up a map that marked the world's major volcanic zones: "According to intelligence, one of the main missions of secondary gods like Sidora is to strengthen the ley lines."

"Their active volcanic regions, exposed to long-term radiation from their forces, are likely to foster plants rich in special energies, such as the cone-shaped fruit trees needed to make the Emerald Balls. We should prioritize investigating these areas and establish stable supply lines for ancient materials."

The meeting concluded with pragmatic discussions.

Lin Dao rubbed his throbbing temples, exchanged a smile with Shen Yu'er who was quickly organizing her notes beside him, and prepared to leave the conference room.

Just then, the conference room door was pushed open, and He Zhong led Li Hao, who looked anxious, into the room quickly.

The excitement from a few days ago was gone from Li Hao's face, replaced by an expression that was a mixture of worry and exhaustion.

"Brother Lin!" Li Hao couldn't help but speak as soon as he saw Lin Dao, his tone filled with self-reproach.

"We've been so busy with meetings with higher-ups these past few days that we haven't been doing any live streams, and things are going wrong online!"

Lin Dao frowned slightly: "Tell me slowly, what happened?"

Li Hao took out his phone and swiped the screen rapidly, his voice urgent.

"Many people who watched our previous live streams, especially those bloggers who want to become famous and ride the wave of popularity, feel that 'the time has come' and want to replicate the 'Li Hao model'."

"They tried to do the same as us, venturing out of town to encounter Pokémon and get some exciting 'first-hand information'! And then... disaster struck!"

He clicked on several videos that had been trending at the top of the search results.

In the first video, a young man with exaggeratedly dyed hair grins at the camera, then suddenly pulls out a bottle of weed killer and sprays it at a trumpet bud that is quietly absorbing sunlight by the roadside.

"Listen up, everyone! What Pokémon? I think it's just a mutated weed! Let me disinfect it!"

The trumpet bud was sprayed with the irritating liquid and immediately curled up in pain. Then, it angrily lashed out with its vine whip, lashing the man hard and knocking him to the ground. The man screamed in agony, while the trumpet bud quickly disappeared into the grass.

The video title is sensational: "I believed the forest trail's evil tricks! I almost got killed by a 'cute' plant monster!"

The second video is even more shocking: a man who calls himself an "outdoor explorer" tries to approach a monkey-like creature that is resting on a rock and looks somewhat agitated.

He waved his hand in the same way Lin Dao had done before, but his movements were exaggerated, and he kept muttering provocative words.

The monkey monster was clearly enraged. It leaped up and delivered a powerful "empty-handed chop" that struck the man's hastily blocking arm. The man's arm was clearly deformed, accompanied by a scream.

The video ends amidst chaos and cries for help.

The headline reads a heart-wrenching accusation: "This is the consequence of believing in 'peaceful coexistence'! Forest roads are a menace!"

There are many similar videos and posts, some showing people being burned by Pokémon's "electric shocks," others being knocked down and injured by "bumps," and still others going missing after venturing into obviously dangerous areas, triggering rescue operations...

Under each "accident," there are comments filled with panic, mockery of imitators, and increasing questioning and attacks on Lin Dao himself:

"See? A monster is a monster!"

"That Lin Dao is hiding in the safe zone while tricking others into going to their deaths!"

"Has the authorities been fooled by him? Why hasn't he been arrested yet?"

"I've said it before: those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!"

What's even more concerning are several highly upvoted "analysis posts" that, while seemingly rational, actually contain hidden guidance:

"Lin Dao has not been broadcasting live for several days; according to internal sources, he has been detained and is under investigation."

"Living with monsters? Beware of civilization's downfall."

"Beware of the sugar-coated bullets of outsiders"...

"Right now, five or six out of ten of the hottest comments online are negative!" Li Hao said bitterly.

"They said our previous livestreams were 'glorifying monsters,' 'irresponsible misleading,' and that Pokémon are dangerous beasts that could never coexist peacefully..."
