"Make a tutorial video?"
"That's… not impossible."
After thinking for a moment, Qingyu quickly agreed.
Relying on livestreams alone to build a Gym's reputation wasn't that easy, and Pokémon battle tutorials were still very much an untapped market. It was definitely worth trying to branch out.
The only downside was that he'd have to suffer a bit—working overtime after ending the stream…
"Before we wrap up, I'll leave you guys with a little homework. Actually, for the Endeavor strategy, there's a Pokémon that's even more suitable than Aron. Does anyone know which one it is?"
"If you know the answer, feel free to leave a comment under the video."
"Alright then—see you tomorrow~"
Before the words even finished leaving his mouth, the livestream suddenly cut to black, leaving only a stunned chat behind.
[???That was such a fast cut...]
[I admit it—your hand speed is unmatched, streamer!]
[Looking forward to the tutorial video. Endeavor strats really feel broken in low tiers!]
Qingyu could no longer see the scrolling chat.
After ending the stream, the first thing he did was—
Get up and go to the bathroom.
He didn't know about other Qingyus, but having a weak bladder really wasn't suitable for being a streamer.
That was a precious lesson he'd learned in his previous life.
After returning from the bathroom to his bedroom, Qingyu was just about to pick up the Eevee napping by the bed when several lines of text appeared before his eyes once again.
[Returning to age 18, armed with knowledge of future strategies, you quickly grasp the secret to streaming. With powerful tactics, you conquer your audience and gain your first batch of fans for yourself and Sunlight Gym!]
[Mission: Imitate the successful model of Luminous Gym and obtain the Gym's first batch of fans. (Completed)]
[Reward: System functions unlocked, Growth Points ×50]
[Life Comeback System unlocked. Current features: Point Shop, System Pokédex, Travel Training]
"This system feels like it's bound to the wrong person…"
Qingyu's mouth twitched.
Although he was also a transmigrator, he wasn't the original version who traveled back from the future. It felt more like he'd been thrown into a parallel world that just happened to have Pokémon.
The process was completely wrong—but the result somehow worked out.
Pretty amazing, actually.
Qingyu focused his mind and tried to control the virtual screen in front of him. The mission panel quickly faded away, revealing the system's true interface.
The three currently unlocked modules were all extremely straightforward.
In the already available Point Shop, Growth Points could be exchanged for various items from the Pokémon world.
However, whether due to insufficient permissions or because the system simply didn't have much stock, the selection was pretty limited.
After browsing through it, aside from various Berries, there were only some fairly ordinary battle items and Technical Machines.
"My points are still really low right now, so this probably won't be very useful yet."
As for the System Pokédex, it seemed to be a passive, always-on feature.
Specifically, as long as Qingyu focused his gaze on a Pokémon for about five seconds, information about it would automatically pop up.
At the moment, his only test subject was obviously his own Eevee.
When he focused on the Eevee napping beside him, a game-like status panel quickly appeared before his eyes.
[Eevee (Female)][Type: Normal][Ability: Anticipation][Moves: Tail Whip, Growl, Helping Hand, Covet][Friendship: 160][Nature: Very Timid][Hatched on July 27 in Twinleaf Town, where you met it][Dislikes spicy food][Loves painting]
Judging from its move set, Eevee's combat power was indeed pretty mediocre.
Before evolving, the hidden ability Anticipation and its Timid nature would likely do more harm than good.
Still, as a starter Pokémon, its friendship level was impressively high.
Qingyu nodded—this result wasn't surprising.
Eevee's current strength wasn't important to him at all. With another system function available, raising it shouldn't be difficult.
His gaze shifted to the final feature currently unlocked by the system.
Travel Training.
As the name suggested, it allowed Pokémon to travel to other places and undergo growth training in the wild.
It was probably a convenient feature for letting Pokémon fight wild Pokémon to level up. The cost was exactly 50 Growth Points per use.
It looked like the most practical feature available right now, making it hard not to suspect that it was also part of the beginner mission.
As Qingyu thought this, two more lines of text appeared.
[Although you've gained your first batch of fans, personal strength is still a crucial factor if you want to keep the Gym running.]
[The Gym Qualification Assessment will take place in two months. If you fail the League trial, your only option will be returning to Twinleaf Town.]
[So, in order to avoid repeating the humiliation of living off others in your previous life, start working hard from now on with the goal of becoming a Gym Trainer!]
[In this life, you swear that you must stand at the top!]
[New Mission Unlocked: Use the Travel Training function to accelerate Pokémon growth.]
[Reward: "Green's Pokémon Training Compendium"]
"As expected!"
Qingyu had predicted the system's prediction.
"Seriously though, what's so bad about having a rich wife? If she let me live in a seaside mansion and drive supercars, I'd be totally fine with that…"
Twinleaf Town, rich woman, successful career.
Why did it feel like the system was hinting at Cynthia?
But if it really were Sinnoh Champion Cynthia—would any Sigma man actually choose to restart a second playthrough?
That's Cynthia we're talking about. The eternal white moonlight of Pokémon players!
Qingyu shook his head and turned his gaze toward Eevee, deep in thought.
No matter how you looked at it, with Eevee's timid personality, sending it straight into wild battles on its very first trip felt way too cruel.
But if he could obtain Green's training guide, it would be immensely beneficial for his future career as a Trainer.
After all, it was Green—Professor Oak's chosen master of training. His Pokémon-raising abilities were undoubtedly top-tier, even among Champions.
So… was there a better way?
"Eevee… (っ﹏-)."
Sensing Qingyu's gaze, Eevee groggily opened its sleepy eyes and let out a soft, adorable cry.
After rubbing its eyes, it noticed its Trainer smiling gently at it.
"Eevee~"
Its fluffy tail immediately began wagging as it leaned forward and rubbed against Qingyu's wrist.
"Eevee, do you want to become a painter?"
Qingyu asked, his eyes full of encouragement.
He suddenly recalled the line from the System Pokédex.
[Loves painting.]
If he trained Eevee by following its interests, maybe it wouldn't resist traveling at all?
"Eevee!"
Without hesitation, Eevee nodded vigorously.
Seeing Eevee suddenly light up with excitement, Qingyu's smile grew even wider.
It really did love this.
In that case, he already had a plan for its first journey.
With that thought, Qingyu walked over to his desk and took out a map from a drawer.
After spreading it out in front of Eevee, he pointed to a landmass labeled "Kalos Region."
"Do you know the Kalos Region?"
Qingyu smiled as he continued explaining.
"At the center of Kalos is Lumiose City. The art museum there is recognized worldwide as the most authoritative art hall."
"If you want to become a painter, how about going there to see some world-famous masterpieces?"
"Eevee! (☆ω☆)"
Eevee's eyes instantly lit up.
