Eighteen years, eighteen whole years.
I've finally waited for this day!
Chapter 2: I Can't Be a Trainer in This Life
After calming down, Lu Ye searched the Internet for relevant information.
First of all, we need to understand what the world has become.
As the world line converges, Lu Ye's world merges with the elf world.
But it seemed that only Lu Ye realized this.
Even history textbooks have changed.
According to the appearance of elves, they can be roughly divided into ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary times.
In ancient times, the number of Mew gradually decreased, and the oldest prehistoric Pokémon was born.
In the Middle Ages, a meteorite fell into the Fengyuan region, triggering the awakening of the super ancient elves, which was eventually quelled by the Rayquaza.
In modern times, Dr. Nishino Mori of Yuhong University invented the Poké Ball in 1925, marking the beginning of modern "Pokémonics".
"These are actually compulsory history courses." Lu Ye looked strange.
Even the history of elves has endless memorable points.
For example, the Balfam Temple was built in 1700 AD, and the first Pokémon League Tournament was held in 1896...
It would be painful if Lu Ye really remembered them all.
"It seems that even in the elf world, being a top student is not that easy!"
Lu Ye sighed and opened the "High School Politics Compulsory Course 3" on the Internet.
With the emergence of elves, centralized organizations represented by the Alliance gradually formed.
In this parallel world, Lu Ye is in the Demon City of the "Donghuang Alliance".
In other areas, there are the "Carlos Alliance", "United Alliance", etc., which are exactly the same as Lu Ye's memory.
"It seems that the elf world has really merged with reality."
Lu Ye was stunned for a long time and let out a long breath.
"Could it be possible that... I also have a chance to become a trainer?"
Becoming a Pokémon trainer has always been Lu Ye's dream.
But when Lu Ye searched the Internet for information, he suddenly became hesitant.
"The mortality rate is so high!?"
In this world, becoming a trainer is by no means an easy task.
Being proficient in multiple foreign languages is just the basics. Chinese, Japanese, French, and English are even required languages for trainers.
Financial resources, academic qualifications, resources and connections are all essential.
The extremely high mortality rate has resulted in trainers being listed as a "high-risk occupation", and Pokémon battles have even become an "extreme sport".
Compared with other industries, the high risk and high threshold restrictions make the number of trainers extremely scarce.
Of course, the popularity of Poké Balls is still quite high.
Ordinary people can also tame elves, and there are many people who love elves and own elves.
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly realized something.
"What's the point of being a trainer... Isn't it nice to be a plagiarist?"
Thanks to the emergence of sprites, the cost of special effects in industries such as movies and games has been greatly reduced, but the quality of the films is hard to describe.
Like this commercial film called "Hatchik Man" starring Hatchik, the leader of the Unova Snow Gym, and produced by Pokémon Hollywood.
The old-fashioned plot and templated heroism actually made it to Douban's top 250.
Lu Ye really couldn't think of any reason why he wasn't popular.
In the field of games, due to the parallel world, the popular works in the previous life failed to appear.
The most popular game is "Pokémon: Battle", which was developed by Fengyuan Dewen Company and broadcast live by Lu Ye every day.
"Pokémon Battle" is based on real-life Pokémon battles and uses virtual imaging technology to create a real-time system, which has a very wide audience.
Some trainer academies even use this game as a teaching material to train students' command awareness.
There are many well-known trainers, including the "Fighting Man" Red, who are loyal users of this game.
Due to the limitations of the elf battle threshold, the various tactics that Lu Ye was familiar with had not been popularized.
This is why Lu Ye was able to gain millions of views just by relying on the "guarding the poison" tactic.
"It seems that if I shoot a couple of videos when I have nothing to do, I will soon be one of the top 100 UP hosts..."
With Lu Ye's understanding of elf battles, it would be easy for him to produce a few more million-quality videos.
But before that, we must first understand the operating mechanism of Bilibili in this parallel world.
Lu Ye ate the roast duck with green onions while continuing to browse Bilibili.
Unlike in the past, the same group of bloggers are now popular on major platforms such as Bilibili, YouTube, Twitch, and N Station.
For example, the popular UP host on YouTube right now -
Lurina, the water gym leader from the Galar League, known as the "Black Pearl", is also a very popular figure on Bilibili.
With long and strong legs and healthy tan skin, Lurina in the video rides on the Milotic and jumps out of the sea, splashing crystal water.
This beautiful scene made Lu Ye a little dazed.
"It's actually... Lurina!"
"Come to think of it, since even Red has appeared, the Gym Leader should be the same."
This photo video topped the fashion section of Bilibili, and the poster was Lulina herself.
There are many talented people in the comment section.
"Lulina took photos for LV. My youth is back!"
"Woo woo, little angel Lurina, mommy loves you!"
"You call that liking her? You're just lusting after her body, you're such a slut!"
Based on the principle that practice makes perfect, Lu Ye opened the dance area.
Lu Ye thought he would see traditional performing arts in the dance area, but unfortunately he saw a man.
A popular influencer on Instagram, the dark-skinned Galar Dragon Gym Leader, Kibana.
With a well-proportioned figure and a slightly ruffian look, Chibana wears an orange-red headscarf and has a hearty smile and snow-white teeth.
Although he is not as handsome as Lu Ye, Chibana is extremely popular on social media thanks to his dancing and his status as a dragon-type gym leader.
As for the film and television category, the cover is the promotion of the new movie of Hollywood actress, Kaluni…
"It seems that the profession of UP master still has great prospects."
Lu Ye murmured.
"Let's continue the live broadcast tonight and wait and see for a while before making any plans..."
Lu Ye already has a rough plan for the future direction.
It's impossible to be a trainer, not in this lifetime.
The only way to make a living is to write novels and make videos.
Although he had no plans to become a trainer, Lu Ye was still tempted to raise a few Pokémon as pets.
"What kind of elf should I raise..."
"Since you're not a fighting party, Meng Meng Da must be the first one!"
"Eevee? Pikachu?"
"I can suck Eevee and Pikachu at the same time, wouldn't it be wonderful!"
The market price of a Poké Ball is 500 yuan.
After counting the balance and taking into account the incentives for the video with a million views, Lu Ye still had about 20,000 yuan.
Lu Ye plans to go to the special Pokémon store in Magic City tomorrow to buy Poké Balls.
That night, Lu Ye went live as usual.
Due to the popularity of the video, Lu Ye’s popularity exceeded 200,000 as soon as the show started.
Chapter 3 Dinner is ready, brothers are cute
As soon as Lu Ye’s live broadcast room started, barrages of comments began to flood the screen.
"It's time for dinner, bro!"
"Yes? Why doesn't the anchor turn on the camera?"
"This is from the video on Bilibili. It's really dirty to be the one guarding the poison!"
Lu Ye opened "Pokémon: Battle" and read the barrage.
“Why doesn’t the anchor turn on the camera? I need to have over 100,000 subscribers before I can show my face.”
In the blink of an eye, a series of question marks flashed by.
"???"
Is this anchor so unique
Although the sound is nice, but aren't you also a Beta driving a tank
"I've been a fan for ten years, Teacher Lu is definitely a handsome anchor!"
"Is there really anyone who follows Teacher Lu just for his looks? No way!"
"There is a screen recording of Mr. Lu in the forum. Although he appeared on screen for less than five seconds, he is definitely a male god!"
"You're overpraising me as a male god. I'm just an average person, barely worthy of being called an actor in terms of looks."
Lu Ye didn't blush or feel nervous.
"Thanks for the plane sent by 'When will Mr. Lu's new movie be released'... It will be soon. Let me discuss the script with Kaluni first."
"Thank you Mr. Lu and Mother Monster Sticker for sending me ten cards... Let's not talk about Mother Monster today."
"Today I will continue to teach you about elf battles."
The comments in the barrage were surprisingly unanimous.
"Please ask the host to teach me how to guard against poison!"
"My starting Pokémon happens to be Bulbasaur, please give me a detailed tutorial!"
Lu Ye glanced at the barrage.
"Thanks to 'How to Guard Poison with Bulbasaur' for sending the plane."
"For those who can afford the three starter families, evolving into Venusaur shouldn't be a problem... Then let's talk about Venusaur's tactical positioning."
Lu Ye opened the team editor and dragged Bulbasaur into the team.
"There are many ways to play Bulbasaur, such as the sunny team system, using chlorophyll to speed up the output."
"Or, on top of guarding the poison, you can learn photosynthesis and parasitic seeds and take on the role of standing guard."
"There's no point in saying more, I'll just show you how to do it."
Entering the game screen, Lu Ye was matched with an international friend from the Johto Alliance, with the ID "The Billiards Boy Like the Wind".
"Digging mud."
Lu Ye exchanged friendly greetings in Japanese while locking his eyes on Bulbasaur.
The first Pokémon that the opponent sent out was a Infernape named "Explosion Taro".
