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

Meng Na and several Huaju executives waited patiently without making a sound to disturb them.

Meng Na even got up and tiptoed to Shen Yu'er's side, where she whispered to Shen Yu'er and Zhao Lan about everyday things.

"Is your kid still insisting on becoming a trainer?"

Shen Yu'er asked softly, remembering that Meng Na had mentioned before that she had a rebellious son at home.

Meng Na smiled helplessly and lowered her voice.

"That's right. That kid is only sixteen years old, two years away from the legal age to apply. His room is covered with Pokémon posters, he knows the theory better than I do, he sighs all day at home, and all he talks about on the phone with his classmates is Pokémon."

"His father and I were initially not in favor of it, thinking it was too dangerous and wanting him to study peacefully."

"But my father doesn't see it that way. He has a very long-term vision and says that in the future world, trainers will definitely play an important social role, or even be the backbone. Not only does he not object, but he also promised to find a suitable Pokémon for his son when he is old enough. He also asked his father and me to try to get in touch with and catch Pokémon when we have the opportunity, so that we don't fall behind."

As she spoke, her gaze drifted to Shen Yu'er, who was gently stroking the wisteria snake, and envy appeared in her eyes.

"It's truly enviable that someone like you, Yu'er, has such intelligent and considerate companions as Snivy and Foam Chipmunk. They are not only companions, but also capable assistants."

Shen Yu'er nodded in empathy and quietly shared how the Snivy and the Bubble Squirrel helped her overcome difficulties in social situations.

Zhao Lan also joined the discussion, talking about how to deal with the various changes that occurred after the team members caught Pokémon.

The atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.

At this moment, Shen Yu'er encouraged, "Sister Mengna, you're such a nice person, you're sure to have Pokémon that like you. Look, Pikachu is very friendly." She gestured.

When Pikachu heard its name, it looked up and said, "Pika?"

At Shen Yu'er's prompting and with the "introduction" from the foam squirrels, Pikachu generously jumped onto the table in front of Meng Na and waved its little paws in a friendly manner.

Mengna stretched out her finger in surprise, and Pikachu gently touched it with its cheek. The tiny electric sparks brought a tingling sensation, but it wasn't uncomfortable. Instead, it gave her a wonderful feeling of closeness.

Meng Na's smile grew even more genuine.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Dao raised his head, gently handed the tablet back, and it was then put away by the secretary beside him.

His eyes became clear and deep, clearly indicating that he had an idea.

Meng Na and several executives immediately sat up straight, and even Shen Yu'er and Zhao Lan, who were talking in hushed tones, stopped talking. Everyone realized that what Lin Dao was about to say might be crucial.

"Ms. Meng, I've finished reading it," Lin Dao said, getting straight to the point.

"Huaju Technology possesses profound technological expertise and a strong market position in mobile communications, smart terminals, artificial intelligence algorithms, IoT platforms, and basic materials research and development. These are very solid advantages."

He paused briefly, then offered a crucial suggestion.

"If I had to pinpoint the most suitable and potentially explosive point of convergence for Huaju, I would say it is the deep integration of Pokémon with smart devices. The key is to find and win the trust and cooperation of a Pokémon called Rotom."

"Rotom?" Mena and several other executives looked puzzled yet intrigued.

"That's right."

Lin explained in detail, "Rotom is an Electric/Ghost-type Pokémon."

"It possesses an extremely special ability: it can enter and 'possess' various electrical or mechanical devices, not only controlling the device but also significantly enhancing its performance and even endowing it with some special functions."

He saw the eyes of several tech executives begin to light up and continued digging deeper.

"More importantly, Rotom possesses naturally strong information processing and learning abilities."

"In the Pokémon world, there is a very successful product called the 'Rotom Pokédex' or 'Rotom Phone,' which puts Rotom into a specially designed electronic device, giving it intelligence far beyond that of ordinary devices. It can not only provide detailed Pokémon information and navigation, but also interact with trainers in a personalized way, provide tactical advice, and even help analyze battle data. It is no longer a cold, impersonal tool, but an intelligent partner with personality, the ability to grow, and a true understanding of the trainer's needs."

"Hiss—" A senior executive in charge of AI research and development couldn't help but gasp. "Artificial intelligence with self-awareness, the ability to learn proactively, and the capacity to be materialized and integrated into hardware? This... this is simply..."

"This is a revolutionary direction!" Mengna chimed in, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"If we can integrate Rotom into our phones, tablets, smart homes, and even future wearable devices and in-vehicle systems... then we will no longer be providing products, but truly 'intelligent life partners'! The interactive experience, service depth, and user stickiness will all experience a qualitative leap! This is a complete paradigm revolution in the next generation of human-computer interaction!"

Zhao Lan was also deeply moved and couldn't help but interject with a question.

"Lindao, is it possible for our official departments to try to access and apply this kind of Rotom? For example, in emergency command, information analysis, or trainer management platforms?"

Lin Dao nodded, then shook his head.

"Of course. Rotom is very adaptable."

"However, one thing to note is that because of their ghostly nature, Rotoms are generally quite...unconventional, curious, and even a bit playful. For official applications that require high stability and discipline, extra care needs to be taken when searching for and selecting Rotoms. Priority should be given to those with relatively calm personalities who are willing to follow the rules, and more rigorous interaction protocols and security redundancies need to be designed."

"In contrast, commercial companies, especially those like Huaju Technology that focus on innovation, user experience, and flexibility, may be more compatible with the nature of most Rotom companies, and collaborations may be more likely to spark new ideas."

He paused, not mentioning another Pokémon, "Porygon," which is theoretically more stable, entirely composed of data, and highly malleable.

With the current level of digital technology, it is extremely difficult to understand or even create the basis for the existence of multi-sided beasts. He did not want Huaju or the government to be distracted by researching a field that might not be able to break through in the short term.

Meng Na took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, but the light in her eyes remained undiminished: "Mr. Lin, your suggestion has opened a door to a whole new world for us! We are willing to invest resources, establish a special team, and begin exploring feasibility studies and cooperation models with Rotom! My father will be very excited when he finds out!"

The talks then shifted to more specific cooperation.

Shen Yu'er, representing the "Pokémon Culture Communication and Development Group," and Meng Na, representing Huaju Technology, reached a preliminary strategic cooperation agreement on several areas:

1. Future Pokémon-themed virtual content development: including but not limited to high-quality games, interactive educational software, and virtual community building. Huaju provides the technology platform and distribution channels, while Lindao provides core IP licensing and content guidance.

2. Joint R&D and Production of Advanced Poké Balls: With the guidance of key technical parameters and principles provided by Lin Dao, Hua Ju leveraged its advantages in precision manufacturing and materials to attempt to produce "Advanced Balls," "Great Balls," and even "Deluxe Balls" that are officially distributed and have better performance than the standard version, and was responsible for some of the channel sales.

3. Priority access to Rotom collaboration projects: Once Huaju makes progress in her contact and research with Rotom, Lindao will provide priority technical consultation and coordination support.

4. Information and Data Sharing: Subject to compliance with laws, regulations and confidentiality requirements, both parties shall establish an information exchange mechanism to share non-core Pokémon ecosystem observation data and technology application feedback.

Director Zhao Lan, representing the National Pokémon Phenomenon Response Bureau, joined the memorandum of understanding in the name of "supporting the integration and innovation of cutting-edge technology and Pokémon," thus forming a solid tripartite collaborative relationship aimed at jointly promoting the healthy, orderly, and efficient transformation and application of Pokémon-related technologies.

The talks ended close to noon.

Meng Na tried her best to persuade them to stay for lunch, but Lin Dao and Shen Yu'er had to catch the afternoon high-speed train and could only politely decline.

"I look forward to having another in-depth exchange with Mr. Ren Zhenhua and you in Xinyuan City or Pengcheng soon." Lin Dao shook hands with Meng Na to say goodbye.

"Definitely! The entire staff of Huaju Technology looks forward to working alongside you and your partners." Meng Na responded solemnly.

Director Zhao Lan escorted Lin Dao and Shen Yu'er, who had made simple disguises (hats and masks), to the Beijing Railway Station on time.

As they entered the station through the special passage, Zhao Lan looked at the two of them and said with emotion, "This trip to the capital has been far more fruitful than I expected. Xiao Lin, Yu'er, you've worked hard."

"Sister Zhao, you've worked so hard too, accompanying us on our journeys these past few days." Shen Yu'er sincerely thanked her.

Lin Dao nodded in thanks: "Thank you for your help, Sister Zhao. We'll keep in touch regarding any follow-up matters."
