64: Section 64

Upon hearing Zhang Yu say that Gengar would not harm anyone, the Firefighter immediately took a deep breath, and then, as if having made up his mind, he promptly called out to the others to chase after where Gengar had disappeared.

He felt very fortunate that, although some time had passed since Gengar left, there was a straight passage behind that iron door, so they didn't have to worry about taking the wrong path.

When they passed through that passage and pushed open a large door, they saw more than a dozen Firefighters lying scattered on the ground.

To their relief, although these people were all lying on the ground at this time, they had not suffered any injuries; they seemed to have merely fainted.

"Gengar~"

Just as these Firefighters were focused on checking on the condition of those people, Gengar suddenly appeared in front of one of them and made a scary face at him.

If one were completely unprepared and Gengar did that, it would indeed be quite terrifying.

But with Zhang Yu's prior warning, although this Firefighter was startled, he still tried to maintain a very calm expression, not letting himself appear too flustered.

"Gengar~"

Gengar was clearly not very satisfied with this result. It immediately concealed its form and then quickly appeared in front of another Firefighter, performing the same action.

However, having already witnessed Gengar's frightening tactics, the other Firefighters were clearly prepared, so they all appeared relatively calm.

"Gengar~"

After trying several times in a row without achieving the desired effect, Gengar immediately felt a wave of boredom and showed a very wronged expression.

However, Gengar quickly cheered up.

Perhaps seeing that these people were not easily scared, it stopped trying to scare others and instead floated off to the side by itself, taking out all the snacks and toys it had previously stored in its body and starting to rummage through them.

Clearly, now that the Firefighters were no longer easy to scare, it had lost much interest in them; instead, these small items interested it more.

"Hurry up, let's get them all out as soon as possible."

Upon seeing this situation, the Firefighters immediately seized this great opportunity and began to get busy.

Now that Gengar wasn't paying attention to them, it was the best time for them to rescue people.

[This Gengar really likes to scare people... It suddenly appeared and startled me.]

[Isn't that right? It just met everyone and gave them a 'surprise'.]

[Surprise? I think 'Astonish' is more like it, right?]

[I actually think it's fine. Besides liking to scare people, Gengar has no other flaws, and don't you think its round body is actually quite cute?]

[Indeed, its appearance is completely different from what I imagined a Ghost-type Pokémon would look like; it's not scary at all.]

[Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit cute, especially when it has a wronged expression, it's even cuter.]

[No, are you guys a little bit off?]

[I also think they're a bit off. It's one thing when Gengar makes a wronged expression, but normally, I really can't see where it's cute.]

[Hahaha~ I think it's fine, right?]

[To be honest, I feel Gengar's personality is quite to my liking. With it around, I'll never have to fear loneliness again.]

[Isn't it true you won't have to fear loneliness? It'll play pranks on you from time to time; then you'll just feel it's too lively.]

[Actually, I think people who like liveliness but don't have too many friends are especially suited for a Pokémon like Gengar. You two are a match made in heaven.]

[Although I think 'match made in heaven' sounds a bit odd here, but one thing's for sure, such people and Pokémon are indeed quite suitable.]

[Indeed, choosing a Pokémon is like summoning a heroic spirit; compatibility is very important.]

[Compatibility is really hard to say.]

Although the Firefighters on site pretended to be very calm, the Water Friends in the live broadcast room were truly frightened by Gengar.

This also allowed them to finally see Gengar's appearance clearly.

You know what, Gengar's round body actually looks quite cute, huh?

Especially when Gengar showed its wronged little expression, it was even more so, to the point that some Water Friends directly chose to 'defect'.

"Alright, things here are pretty much resolved."

"It's getting late, so I'll end the broadcast now. See you all tomorrow."

After seeing that the matter was almost handled, with only some finishing touches left, Zhang Yu first greeted the Water Friends and then decisively ended the broadcast.

After closing the live broadcast room, Zhang Yu finally had time to start preparing food for the Pokémon.

Charizard and Arcanine, needless to say, hadn't finished the food prepared earlier, so he didn't need to worry about them for now.

However, he needed to quickly prepare the food for Rotom and Snivy.

To meet their needs, Zhang Yu had no choice but to empty his wallet and purchase their advanced exclusive energy cube recipes.

Although with his current skills, he could only produce general attribute energy cubes, it was temporarily sufficient.

But in this way, his wallet, which he had just managed to replenish, was emptied again, and he wondered when he would become wealthy?

"Moo~"

"Mareep~"

Attracted by the scent, the Miltank immediately approached very familiarly.

And in just a moment, the Mareep, which were further away, also came over, and like the Miltank, they looked at Zhang Yu with eager eyes, their meaning self-evident.

"I understand, I will share some energy cubes with you later. You don't have to look at me like that."

Seeing this, Zhang Yu sighed and immediately promised.

Although he said he would share some with them, considering the attribute issue, Mareep would be fine, but he would have to prepare Miltank's energy cubes separately, as he currently didn't have any Normal-type Pokémon.

So he would just have to put in a little more effort and make some Normal-type energy cubes.

As for the recipe issue?

That wasn't something to worry about; after this period of learning, he could even create intermediate energy cube recipes himself, which would be more than enough for these Miltank.

As for why he didn't just refuse Miltank?

Facing so many pairs of bright, shining big eyes, he really couldn't bring himself to say no.

But to say he would lose out, that certainly wouldn't be the case.

Not to mention that Zhang Yu could take the opportunity to thoroughly pet those fluffy and soft creatures to his heart's content, just the gifts they gave him as thanks after eating the energy cubes would be enough to make him break even.

Miltank, needless to say, gave Zhang Yu Moomoo Milk.

And Mareep gave Zhang Yu a large amount of wool.

Even with a conservative estimate, this wool could make several wool coats.

What surprised Zhang Yu even more was when he was tidying up to go to bed, he suddenly noticed a system notification that had appeared at some unknown time and that he had accidentally overlooked.

(Ding! Congratulations, Host, the main quest: Arceus's Expectation has made phased progress.)

(You will receive a new phased reward: one Keystone, one Charizard ite X!)

When Zhang Yu saw this system notification, he was stunned, and then felt a burst of ecstasy.

Good heavens! He was just talking about Gengar's Super Evolution, and he didn't expect to be rewarded with a Keystone and a Mega Stone in the blink of an eye!

And it happened to be Charizard's Mega Stone, which he could use right now!

This made Zhang Yu even more excited!

And Zhang Yu also confirmed another thing.

That is, judging from the rewards obtained previously and this time, these rewards are clearly not randomly distributed, but are issued based on his situation, which greatly reassured Zhang Yu, so he didn't have to worry about getting things he couldn't use temporarily.

The night passed uneventfully, and time quickly came to the next day. After eating breakfast and packing up his tent and other things, Zhang Yu started the live broadcast again.

[Nth hour without seeing Arcanine, missing him.]

[No, you don't even have a specific time, what's there to miss?]

[By the way, have you heard? Someone seems to have successfully captured a Pokémon?]

[Really? Someone captured a Pokémon again so quickly?]

[Of course it's true!]

[Wait, how do you know this news?]

[That's because I also captured a Pokémon and brought it home.]

[Damn it! You're too lucky, aren't you?]

[That's not right, I also tried yesterday, and I felt that Pokémon are still very difficult to capture. How did you succeed? You didn't capture a Caterpie, did you?]

[How could that be? Who would capture a Pokémon like Caterpie?!]

[I always feel like something isn't quite right. Generally speaking, if someone really succeeded in capturing a Pokémon, they would at least say the Pokémon's name, right?]

[It is a bit off. Either that person is bragging, or there's something wrong with the Pokémon they captured.]

[Alright, alright, I actually captured a Magikarp, okay?]

[Haha! No wonder you could capture a Pokémon; it was a Magikarp! Isn't that not much different from a Caterpie?]
