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

The international outcry triggered by the riots continues to escalate.

Within 72 hours of the tragedy at the United States' "Control Center," global social media was flooded with related topics, and news channels around the world were broadcasting rolling news reports of burning streets and the horrified faces of the injured.

The debate between those who support control and those who support coexistence has escalated into a standoff, as if the world has been divided in two by an invisible ideological rift.

However, the data doesn't lie.

The UN Special Committee’s “Monthly Report on Global Pokémon Incidents” shows that in the past month, not only have there been no large-scale Pokémon attacks in China, but social order has also basically returned to normal before the lockdown.

Apart from reasonable restrictions on people going to the countryside, urban life, business activities, and the education system are all operating normally.

In stark contrast, of the seventeen countries that adopted control strategies, fourteen still maintain strict intercity travel restrictions, requiring armed forces to escort the movement of people and goods to prevent "unpredictable Pokémon threats."

This report became a turning point.

Foreign ministries from more than forty countries have formally sent letters to China requesting technical information and policy guidance on "Pokémon Fusion and Social Reconstruction".

The voices that once questioned China's "overly idealistic" approach have gradually faded in the face of irrefutable facts.

Against this international backdrop, the construction of Xinyuan City has been upgraded from a "domestic strategic demonstration project" to a "world strategic demonstration project," attracting more attention.

The initial cleanup work was exceptionally difficult.

In just a few months, the land was covered with vines, bushes, and the ruins of collapsed houses.

However, on the third day of work, the workers discovered a surprising phenomenon.

At six o'clock in the morning, when the first batch of workers arrived at the construction site, three Magnus dogs were already standing on the edge of the ruins.

Their muscular arms easily lifted cement slabs that required a small crane to move, neatly stacking them in the designated area. Foreman Old Chen paused for a few seconds, then tentatively handed over a box of energy cubes and a basket of tree berries—a prepared friendly gift.

The leader, Haoli, took the basket, let out a deep roar, and continued working.

"They...are helping us?" The young recorder, Xiao Zhang, adjusted the camera in disbelief.

"It's not helping 'us'," Old Chen lit a cigarette, his gaze deep, "it's helping 'this city'."

As time went on, this collaboration increased.

During their underground exploration, the three groups of ground squirrels discovered stable rock strata and groundwater sources, providing crucial data for foundation design.

A herd of startled deer allowed construction vehicles to pass through their traditional migration route, provided that sufficient vegetation corridors were left on both sides of the road.

The most impressive moment came on the fourth day when a giant rock stuck in a critical position brought the project to a standstill. A rumbler slowly rolled over, its body emitting an orange-red glow, and easily pushed the rock away from its original position.

"It seems to know that the rock is blocking the way," Old Chen reported at the project meeting that evening.

"We gave it an energy cube as a thank you, and it ate half of it and shared the other half with the nearby Geodude."

Lin Dao watched all of this through remote monitoring, and a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him.

Pikachu, tired from training, lay on his lap, its ears twitching slightly in response to the sounds coming from the construction site.

"They're not passively accepting, Pikachu," Lindo said, patting his partner's back. "They're participating, they're making choices."

"Pikachu." Pikachu nodded in agreement, its electric sacs on its cheeks making a soft crackling sound.

A week later, after Lin Dao confirmed that the local Pokémon community had largely accepted the construction activities, he returned Salamence to the camp.

Almost simultaneously, the official Pokédex was released nationwide.

This pricing strategy takes into full consideration accessibility: the suggested retail price for the basic model is 799 yuan, with subsidies provided by local governments based on their financial situation.

Shanghai offers the largest subsidy, with citizens only needing to pay 499 yuan.

Even the most remote county towns have kept prices below 600 yuan through the "Rural Safety, Digital Accessibility" project.

Sales were phenomenal.

The first batch of three million units sold out within a week, and the number of people waiting in line for online pre-orders exceeded twenty million.

The production line operates 24 hours a day, yet demand still exceeds supply.

On social media, topics related to the encyclopedia continue to dominate the trending charts.

Hashtags such as "#MyFirstPokémonPocketEdge#", "#HiddenPocketEdgeScanned#" (Pokémon whose images were not included in the database), "#GainingEevee's Favor Through Pocket Knowledge#", and "#SuccessfullyCatchingCaterpie at My Doorstep#" continue to dominate the trending topics list.

Cultural penetration is equally rapid.

The Pokémon anime has steadily progressed to its tenth episode.

After undergoing special training and deepening their bond, Ash's Pikachu finally mastered the iconic "Thunderbolt".

The team also welcomed its first important partner, Misty, a trainer from a minority area in Southwest China. She has a fiery personality but a gentle heart, and she made her debut with her starter Caterpie, showcasing the potential and beauty of Bug-type Pokémon.

"Caterpillars are not a symbol of weakness," Misty says firmly to those who question her, hugging her companion in the animation.

"It saved Pidgey from falling off a cliff today by shooting an String of Pearls. Every Pokémon has its own brilliance; it just needs to be discovered."

This line topped the trending search list after it aired.

The animation's natural portrayal of the fusion of multi-ethnic cultures, its care for the vulnerable, and its depiction of the hardships of growing up resonate deeply with real-world social values, earning high praise from propaganda and cultural departments.

Taking advantage of the momentum, the Ministry of Education officially announced that "Pokémon basic knowledge and coexistence ethics" will be included in the elective curriculum system for primary and secondary schools.

Lin Dao was invited to serve as the chief consultant for the textbook, and he insisted on writing the following opening in the first chapter:

"When you get your first Pokémon partner, remember: you are not the trainer, but family; not the commander, but a companion."

"True strength is not about one side overwhelming the other, but about two lives growing together through understanding and respect, becoming each other's strength."

Another month has passed in a flurry of activity. Thanks to the occasional "friendly assistance" from Pokémon and the tireless efforts of the workers day and night.

Within the vast area designated by Xinyuan City, the surface appears empty, but upon closer inspection, one can discover countless meticulously planned trenches and pits of varying depths, beneath which lies a crisscrossing network of specialized pipelines already laid, resembling the "blood vessels" of a city's future life system.

Only in the very center of the planned city stands a peculiar building, a cylindrical house constructed entirely of a special alloy that shimmers with iridescent colors under the sunlight. Quiet and sturdy, it is the outer shell of the future city's heart.

Project manager Zhao accompanied Lin Dao into the building.

In the empty space, there is only the central base and the interfaces extending in all directions.

"All underground lines have been laid according to the blueprints, and all pressure tests have been passed."

Engineer Zhao reported, his voice echoing between the metal walls.

"The central energy room has also been completed according to the highest protection standards. But Mr. Lin..."

He hesitated for a moment: "This week we've just been doing repeated testing, and even after the materials arrived, we weren't allowed to start construction. The workers are a bit worried about whether the project will be completed on time..."

Just as Lin Dao was about to reply, the roar of a convoy came from afar.

Through the building's observation windows, a special convoy can be seen approaching.
