Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

As long as Xia Chen is by my side... well, let's include that stinky Eevee too.

With him and them by my side, what do I have to be afraid of?

It's just a waterfall; if you want to do it, go for it!

He's always hesitant and fearful in everything he does. How is he any different from the Ugly Fish from before?

[Ding~ Sensing a change in the host's mindset, the achievement "Leaping Through the Abyss" has been unlocked, permanently increasing all abilities by 10%!]

The system voice, which hadn't been heard for several days, rang in his mind again. This time, Milnas didn't analyze it much.

Even if you have the support of a system, no matter how powerful you are, it's all fake, not real.

Therefore, do not rely too much on the system's effectiveness.

But... the effect of this achievement is really awesome...

…………

Looking at Milotic's determined eyes, Xia Chen smiled slightly. It seemed that Milotic had a good ability to regulate his emotions.

Although I still don't know what happened in between, it's good to be a little oblivious in life...

As long as the result is good, that's fine.

Xia Chen comforted himself with this thought.

"Since I've decided to participate in this event, I must do my best to be the best!"

Xia Chen climbed onto Milotic's back and said, "From now on, let's practice waterfall climbing!"

"Phew~"

Milotic nodded happily and swam toward the direction it had longed for and now dared to move toward.

Passing by that familiar place, Milotic saw that familiar, clumsy figure again.

The Magikarp swung its tail as it climbed up the waterfall, then predictably fell down.

But Milotic realized this time that he seemed to have climbed two or three meters higher than last time.

Milotic smiled knowingly. "That's great. I hope you never give up."

The observant Xia Chen noticed Milotic's unusual behavior and suggested, "Is that Magikarp your friend? Why don't you go over and say hello?"

"Phew~"

Milotic nodded slightly, then swam over.

A rare and beautiful Pokémon suddenly appeared beside him. Even the dull-witted Magikarp stopped what it was doing and stared blankly at the uninvited guest, asking what was the purpose of his visit.

Milotic tilted his head, suddenly wanting to ask his long-time online friend a question.

"Phew? (Why are you so determined to climb this waterfall?)"

Magikarp's long whiskers twitched slightly, and it seemed that this seemingly proud and beautiful spirit wasn't much smarter than itself.

Without hesitation, he replied, "Karu—(Because the waterfall is right there!)"

Chapter 152 Xia Chen and Xianbu's Outdoor Live Stream (4k)

The waterfall festival is not held on a fixed date; the amount of water at Long Yue Waterfall is predicted based on the timing of the arrival of spring each year.

The day with the highest water volume naturally becomes that year's waterfall climbing festival.

April 10th marked the quiet arrival of the busiest day of 2023 in Lianli Town.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Xia Chen, having had a good rest, led the four elves out of the hotel.

Don't ask why I got up so early.

Only lazy people stay in bed at this time!

The diligent Xia Chen, dressed in casual beachwear, walked to Longyuetan, which was not far from the hotel.

As expected of the annual waterfall festival, the Dragon Leap Pool was already packed with people, and a bunch of people jumped into the pool with their water-type spirits like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Like Xia Chen, they will ride their own water-type spirits to experience the thrilling waterfall climbing activity.

There were quite a few trainers in this group; by this time, there were already several hundred people in the large pool.

However, Longyue Waterfall is hundreds of meters long, and the pool formed by the waterfall is larger than a small lake, so a few hundred people are not considered crowded at all.

Xia Chen didn't rush to go into the water so early; instead, he took out his phone.

After months of waiting, Xia Chen finally remembered his Pixiv account password.

Today, he's going to do a long-awaited live stream – an outdoor live stream of the waterfall festival.

Speaking of which, Xia Chen's number of fans on Pixiv has increased to an absurd level in the past six months.

Although Xia Chen's update frequency has been almost monthly for the past few months since that Milotic evolution video, and sometimes he can't even manage a monthly update, he has become a veritable procrastinator.

But thanks to the events, both big and small, that have occurred during this period—

The public opinion against the fabrication has subsided somewhat...

Minas's paper count has surged significantly...

My score improved a bit after winning the entrance exam for Beijing University...

The number of arrests of the Diego poachers has increased slightly...

Winning the Grand Contest and having his Sylveon Evolution Paper skyrocket in popularity...

If we were to use stocks as an analogy, then Xia Chen's number of fans would undoubtedly be a top-performing stock that increased tenfold in just a few months.

As of now, [I'm not a pigeon] has surpassed five million followers!

It's fair to say that this is a number of followers that many part-time content creators and top-tier trainers can only dream of.

However, this does not affect Xia Chen's behavior of not posting videos. Xia Chen has only posted three videos this year, which are described by fans as "travel vlogs that he took a break from his busy schedule to appease his fans".

Being a pigeon (a term used to describe someone who fails to deliver on their promises), I still feel a little guilty...

So, on this unique regional festival, Xia Chen chose to ambush his fans.

Listening to the thunderous roar of the waterfall, Xia Chen named his live stream "[Please turn down the volume before entering the live stream]" and started the live stream.

…………

It has to be said that there are a lot of people living on Pixiv.

Even before Xia Chen could load the live stream, a group of people barged in with question marks on their faces.

"Am I seeing things? The dead pigeon has come back to life?! o.0??"

"To be honest, when I saw the notification for Pigeon's live stream, I really thought my Rotom had crawled into my phone to play a prank."

"Holy crap, all I did was stay up until 10 a.m., and the King of Hell is scaring me like this! Master Pigeon is live streaming? Is this the kind of thing I'd only ever see in my lifetime?"

"Ten in the morning? Is that guy upstairs from the Parthian region? I was just about to go to the kiln before bed... oh wait, I mean the dance area, and that's where I caught him!"

"Speaking of which, where is Master Pigeon? It sounds so noisy, like water? Is Master Pigeon going to livestream himself taking a shower?"

"I can forgive Pigeon Master for taking a bath, but look at Fairy Cloth!"

"Zanbu...my Zanbu! (Screams!) (Twisting!) (Crawling in the shadows!) (Writhing in a twisting motion!)"

Xia Chen had just put on his headphones with a microphone when he discovered that the number of viewers in the live stream had exceeded 100,000, and the barrage of comments was so dense that it was impossible to see them clearly.

Fortunately, those rich women didn't seem to be browsing Pornhub, so they didn't start sending gifts yet.

Using silk as a natural selfie stick, Xia Chengang pointed the camera at himself, along with four elves and an extra Devourer Turtle. The rich women he had just been talking about arrived one after another.

"[Aromatherapy Girl] left a paid comment: Hey, did you go to the waterfall festival in Lianli Town? Want to play in the water with Milotic? Let me see your abs~"

Tsk, how come this woman becomes so lewd online?

The internet is not a lawless zone!

"[Mingyi] left a paid comment saying: Please put on your clothes and pants properly, and please abide by male virtues!"

Snivy's ability is Contrarian, and your trainer's ability is also Contrarian, right?

"[I will always love Sylveon] commented (paid comment): Give us a close-up of Sylveon! My Sylveon addiction is acting up!"

This rich woman is more normal; Xia Chen finally found a suitable entry point.

…………

With great effort, Xia Chen lifted the increasingly heavy Xianbu and introduced, "What a fan said earlier was right. Today we have arrived at Lianli Town in the Carlos region. Today is the annual waterfall festival. Behind me is the famous Dragon Leap Waterfall!"

Although the headphones had a microphone, the sound of the waterfall was too loud, and Xia Chen was speaking very loudly.

Coupled with his seemingly official tone and introduction, Xia Chen at this moment resembled a frontline reporter reporting directly from the scene.

Ignoring the teasing comments in the live chat, Xia Chen continued, "As everyone knows, the Waterfall Festival naturally involves waterfall climbing. Today, Milotic and Sylveon will have a small competition. Milotic will be with me, and Sylveon will be riding Drednaw. We will compete against each other on the magnificent stage of Dragon Leap Falls! Everyone can place their bets now if they have a favorite."

As soon as Xia Chen finished speaking, the live chat became even more lively.

"If Milotic hadn't brought Pigeon Master along, I might have considered it, but now... is there even a question? I'd bet everything on Pigeon Master to win!"

"I bet 30 million... Master Pigeon wins! (Jumps off a building in tears)"

"So what kind of amazing thing is it that Master Yi rode a Devourer to the Waterfall Festival? As expected of Master Yi, he easily did what other Pokémon dared not do!"

"Master Yi: Do you need a trainer? I am a trainer myself!"

"Master Yi, can you ride me? I can also climb waterfalls!"

"So Ralts and Zoroah aren't participating in today's event? So love will disappear, right?"

Before going into the water, Xia Chen glanced at the live chat and found that no one thought he and Milotic could win.

He said, rather speechless, "If you won't give me face, at least give Milotic some face... Fine, we'll show you our strength and make you lose face later!"

After uttering these harsh words, Xia Chen recalled Zoroa and Ralts, and then went into the water with the remaining Pokémon.

Xia Chen was also a little disappointed that Ralts and Zoroa couldn't participate in today's rare team-building activity.

He originally wanted the two little ones to be cheerleaders on the shore, but the shiny Ralts and Zoroah were too eye-catching... Xia Chen didn't dare leave them alone on the shore.

Had to give up.
