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

As night fell, he was preparing to sort out his recent thoughts when news of Shen Yu'er arrived.

"Lin Dao, the first episode of the animated series from the Dumpling Team has arrived, including the final version of the theme song you selected."

Lin Dao's spirits lifted, and he immediately went to the professional audio-visual room in the basement of the villa. The lights dimmed, and a video began playing on the giant screen.

The first thing to play is the theme song, "Goal! Pokémon Master!"

"You've caught the Pokémon!"

Whether in fire, water, or dense grass

Still deep in the forest, amidst the clouds and the earth,

(Even) inside the girl's skirt, (accompanied by cartoonish screams and cheerful sound effects)

Although the process was quite...

It was extremely, extremely, extremely hard work.

But you absolutely must subdue them!

Pokémon caught!

Saying goodbye to familiar Chengdu, waving farewell~

The wind will bring a call from afar…

The melody is energetic and exciting, and the lyrics, while retaining the original's fun core, cleverly incorporate local elements such as "Chengdu" (Chengdu city), instantly drawing people into that adventurous world.

Lin Dao smiled slightly.

This song was selected from submissions nationwide, and the singer is a new generation singer named Su Yu.

Her voice was clear and full of adventurous energy, perfectly matching the theme of the animation.

The main feature begins.

The anime is set several years after the "Great Fusion" event, in an era when human society and Pokémon have begun to establish a stable coexistence.

The protagonist, Xiao Zhi (whose design is closer to the aesthetics of Chinese youth, being sunny, persistent, and slightly reckless but with a pure heart), lives in the newly transformed Chengdu.

In the city, Pokémon and humans live in harmony. Pidgey hovers above the park, Meowth sunbathes on the street corner, and occasionally you can see uniformed police officers patrolling with Growlithe.

Ash's dream is to become a great Pokémon Master like "Legendary Pioneer Lindau".

On his sixteenth birthday, he went to the local Pokémon Beginner's Center full of anticipation, but because he overslept, only one Pikachu was left, which refused to enter the Poké Ball and had a stubborn temper.

The story unfolds from here: from initial rejection and mutual dislike, to fighting side by side in an unexpected crisis (attacked by a flock of wild Spearow), Pikachu unleashes its power to protect Ash, and Ash resolutely stands in front of the injured Pikachu... In the end, golden lightning rips through the sky, repelling the Spearow, and for the first time, the boy and the electric mouse truly see the light in each other's eyes, establishing their first bond.

At the end, Ash holds a recovered Pikachu, stands on a hillside, and points to the distant, layered mountains and unknown wilderness.

"Just you wait, Master Lindao," Ash said to the camera, his eyes shining, "I will become the next Pokémon Master!"

The animation is excellent, the movements are smooth, the Pokémon are both cute and lifelike, and the emotional portrayal is very well done.

In particular, incorporating the legendary figure of "Lin Dao" into the worldview adds a sense of realism and intimacy while cleverly avoiding the problem of directly depicting the complexities of reality.

After reading it, Lin Dao smiled with satisfaction.

He immediately messaged Dumpling: "Excellent! It completely met and even exceeded my expectations. The emotional core was captured accurately, and the visual presentation was strong. It can be scheduled for broadcast as planned. Speed ​​up the production of subsequent episodes and maintain the quality."

Over the next month, good news blew across China like a spring breeze.

First, the "purchase restriction order for daily necessities" that had lasted for several months was completely lifted, the supply chain basically recovered, supermarket shelves became full again, and the convenience of people's daily lives greatly improved.

Following this, the official announcement stated that the "Pokémon Standard Identification and Safety Assistance Device" (quickly referred to by the public as the "Pokémon Pokédex") would begin its first limited pre-order sale in a month, with an affordable price, publicly available functions, and a focus on safety education.

The trailer follows closely: Starting this weekend, the National Television Children's Channel and major video platforms will simultaneously premiere the animated series "Pokémon," with two episodes airing daily, telling the adventure and growth story of a Chinese boy and his Pokémon partners.

The trailer, especially the catchy and energetic opening theme, instantly ignited the enthusiasm of children and also evoked childhood memories and curiosity in many adults.

The Ministry of Transport also held a press conference to announce that the basic cleaning and maintenance of the national main road network has been completed, and long-distance passenger and rail transport across provinces and cities will gradually resume, bringing the long-awaited "freedom of travel" to the foreseeable future.

This series of positive news, like warm sunshine, continues to dispel the gloom and fear that have shrouded people's hearts since the disaster.

Life seems to be getting back on track and moving in a more colorful and exciting direction.

The focus of conversations on the streets gradually shifted from the initial "monsters are scary" to "how easy is it to get a Pokédex entry", "when will the anime air", "can I raise a Pikachu in the future", and "how to guide a child who wants to become a trainer".

Hope is truly growing and spreading.

This optimistic, orderly, and hopeful atmosphere was transmitted globally through the media and the internet, standing in stark contrast to many other countries and regions still struggling in chaos, fear, or stagnation.

Foreign authorities may intentionally block news from China, but foreigners living in China film the situation and send it back to their families back home. Except for a few countries that can block it, most countries simply cannot stop the voices of people who are increasingly yearning for a return to normalcy on their own platforms.

With no other options, more and more foreign ministries have begun to send formal or informal requests to China, hoping to learn from its experience or explore potential cooperation.

Just when everything seemed to be going well and progressing smoothly, Lin Dao was in his study, looking at the considerable number of points he had accumulated on the Arceus phone screen due to a series of recent technological releases, cultural product launches, and a significant increase in social awareness. He took a deep breath and redeemed them.

A stream of light flowed through his consciousness, and a vast amount of complex knowledge and technical blueprints about the "construction of a new type of ecological city system" flooded his mind. From urban planning, complex ecosystem design, Pokémon-friendly infrastructure, to energy recycling, special building materials, and urban transportation solutions, it covered almost all the theoretical foundations and key technical paths needed to build a "city where Pokémon and humans coexist in an ideal way".

The points were instantly cleared, but Lin Dao's eyes shone brightly.

Basic science education and the establishment of a sense of security have been laid out; it's time to take a substantial step forward.

A few days later, accompanied by He Zhong and experts in urban planning, geology, and ecology, Lin Dao and his group took a helicopter to one of the alternative sites for the planned "new city".
