Chapter 228: Pupitar's Video, The Venus
In the evening, Bai Feng kept Caicaizi, Yangtai, Xiao Limo, and Xiao Huang at Home for dinner, and then had Machamp drive them back to the Blue Bird Orphanage.
After they left, Bai Feng looked at the Meowstic siblings and asked, "How did Caicaizi and Yangtai learn this afternoon?"
The Meowstic siblings' answer was somewhat unexpected for Bai Feng. They said Caicaizi learned in a standard manner, and it was hard to tell her Talent for now, but Yangtai performed very well. He was not only quick-witted and could apply what he learned to new situations, but his practical Ability was also outstanding.
Bai Feng truly hadn't expected that Yangtai, who was usually so boisterous, would have such capability. It just goes to show you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
After dinner, Bai Feng began giving the Pokémon their Rejuvenation. Just then, Brionne suddenly ran over excitedly with the Mobile Phone it usually used for Live Streams.
"Sira~ Sira~" Bai Feng, look at this!
Bai Feng asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Sira~ Sira~" Look quickly! Look quickly!
Brionne tapped open the Private Message page of their Band Account and scrolled for a while, finally finding a user named "M". It tapped on the user, and this user had sent the Primarina Band a Video.
As the Primarina Band's Fans continued to grow, they actually received Private Messages from Fans every day. The Pokémon in the Band would sometimes pick some to read, which helped them understand the Fans' Demand and feedback on their Live Stream Effect.
Bai Feng was initially confused why Brionne was so eager to show him a Private Message sent by a Fan to the Primarina Band. But when the Video was opened, he was stunned, because the Pokémon appearing in the Video was a Pupitar.
"Saki~ Saki~ Saki~" Brionne, did you see my Video? I'm Larvitar, I evolved! Quickly tell Bai Feng to come pick me up, I miss you all so much! I'm waiting for you...
It turned out that after the Toxtricity brothers picked up the Poacher's Mobile Phone, they started watching the Primarina Band's Live Streams from time to time. Finally, one day, Pupitar found out about this.
It was strange at the time why the Singing coming from the Mobile Phone sounded so familiar. After some questioning, it learned that its two Underlings were actually huge Fans of Brionne!
What a coincidence!
Pupitar immediately declared proudly, "I know Brionne! We even have the same Pokémon Trainer! When I go Home, I'll take you with me so you can see your Idol with your own eyes!"
At first, the Toxtricity brothers didn't believe Pupitar. "You're a Wild Pokémon, and you know Brionne? What kind of joke is that!"
Hearing the brothers call it a Wild Pokémon, Pupitar immediately bristled. "I'm a Wild Pokémon? Have you ever seen such an excellent Wild Pokémon? Did you eat those delicious Pokéblocks I gave you for nothing?!"
Only then did the brothers remember this Matter.
Oh yeah, the delicious Pokéblocks they used to eat were given by Pupitar. They had thought Pupitar stole them from Humans who came adventuring in the Mountain, because with Pupitar's Nature of picking fights with everyone, it could definitely do that.
Could it be that wasn't the case?
So the brothers filmed the Video that Bai Feng had just seen and sent it to the Primarina Band's Account.
Pupitar even praised the brothers for being smart. As long as Brionne saw this Video, Bai Feng could come pick it up and bring it Home.
After being away from Home for so long, only Arceus knew how much it missed Home, missed Bai Feng's petting and comfortable Rejuvenation, missed its clean and tidy Room, missed its friends it played with...
In the Video, the Toxtricity brothers also briefly showed their faces, but they were very nervous, worried that what Pupitar said was true and that Brionne would actually open the Video. So they only appeared for a few seconds before leaving the frame.
After watching the Video, Bai Feng smiled and said, "Larvitar evolved faster than I expected. It seems it's time to go pick it up and bring it back."
At this moment, Bayleef and Carbink heard Bai Feng's words and came over, nodding repeatedly. They had the best Bond with Pupitar, and they were the ones who missed Pupitar the most during this time apart.
"But there were two other Pokémon that flashed by in the Video just now, did you see them?" Saying this, Bai Feng rewound the Video to the part where the Toxtricity brothers flashed by.
"Sira~ Sira~" I saw them, I saw them too! They're Pokémon I don't know!
Brionne said.
Bai Feng explained, "Those should be Toxtricity, Pokémon unique to the Galar Region. It's normal that you haven't seen them and don't recognize them."
Looking at the two Toxtricity frozen in the frame, Bai Feng smiled, "It seems Pupitar made new friends while we were away!"
Hearing that Pupitar had new friends, Bayleef happily jumped and bounced. Pupitar's friends were its friends, and it loved new friends the most!
Carbink, however, felt a little jealous, as if its Good Friend had been taken away.
"But where did Pupitar and the others get the Mobile Phone they used to film the Video?" Bai Feng suddenly realized the key to the Matter and looked at the Pokémon beside him in confusion, asking.
The Pokémon all shook their heads; how could they possibly know!
"Never mind, we'll know when we see Pupitar." Bai Feng shrugged, "Ah, right! Let's film a Video and send it to Pupitar too."
"Sira~"
"Bay~"
"Meixi~"
The Pokémon all nodded.
So Bai Feng took the Pokémon and filmed a Video, sending it to Pupitar through the Primarina Band's Account.
The Toxtricity brothers were using the Mobile Phone to watch old Videos of the Primarina Band when they suddenly heard a "ding-dong" notification Sound from the Mobile Phone. This Sound was very noticeable in the quiet Cave, scaring the brothers so much they almost threw the Mobile Phone away.
Immediately, they noticed that the Message was from the Primarina Band's Account.
After opening the Message, the brothers saw a Video and indeed saw their goddess Brionne in it. They were instantly so excited they jumped three feet high.
So everything Pupitar said was true! Didn't that mean they really had a chance to meet their goddess?
At the end of the Video, Bai Feng said to Pupitar, "Pupitar, congratulations on evolving. Wait patiently for a while, I'll come pick you up soon."
Looking at the Human on the screen, the Toxtricity brothers suddenly understood. So this was the shared Pokémon Trainer of Pupitar and their goddess!
The brothers hugged the Mobile Phone and quickly ran towards the still sleeping Pupitar.
Since evolving into Pupitar, Pupitar felt like it had become very sleepy. It spent most of the day sleeping, only waking up at meal times to stuff a few pieces of Lapis Lazuli into its mouth.
Because of this, it hadn't gone outside for a while, which made the Copperajah and Coalossal outside quite puzzled. Did that Larvitar change its Nature? Or was it taken out by some enemy?
Speaking of which, Larvitar did have quite a few enemies in this Mountain. To train its battle Ability, it would really go up and scratch anyone it saw.
The next day, after getting up, Bai Feng started considering the Matter of going to Galar to pick up Pupitar. Could he take the new Aircraft he bought?
That was a good idea, but he didn't have an Aircraft Pilot! What a headache.
Right, he could borrow a Pilot from Lysandre! Bai Feng suddenly thought of a good idea.
Thinking this, Bai Feng called Lysandre, told him he had bought an Aircraft, and wanted to temporarily borrow an Aircraft Pilot from him.
Unexpectedly, Lysandre was very generous. He directly sent Bai Feng two Poké Balls, saying these two Pokémon were a gift to Bai Feng, and they were qualified to pilot Aircraft.
Truly worthy of being my Good Friend! Bai Feng was touched by Lysandre and immediately said he would send him a pile of Grade S Berries.
The two Pokémon Lysandre sent Bai Feng were Solosis and Porygon2.
Solosis was the main Pilot, capable of monitoring the ship's dynamics through Psychic and achieving complete control over the ship, making it more reliable than a Human Pilot.
Porygon2 controlled the ship's core, connected to the Internet, and was responsible for controlling direction and navigation.
Porygon2 evolved from Porygon and had just been researched by Professor Akihabara. Bai Feng was the first person to obtain this Pokémon, aside from Lysandre and the relevant personnel at his Laboratory.
Currently, Professor Akihabara has officially joined Lysandre's Laboratory, and the upgrade patch for Porygon's Evolution was researched together by Professor Akihabara and the researchers at Lysandre Labs.
Without Lysandre's strong support, Professor Akihabara would likely have needed a considerable amount of time to research the upgrade patch.
Currently, Professor Akihabara has already begun researching another project with Lysandre's support: the Rotom Phone that Bai Feng once suggested.
Lysandre also specifically sent Bai Feng another upgrade patch for the Porygon in the Computer he had given him before.
The upgrade patch is actually a special data patch. As long as Porygon absorbs this data and then performs a Link Trade with another Pokémon, it can successfully complete its Evolution.
After hanging up the Telephone with Lysandre, Bai Feng immediately asked Hatterene to prepare some Grade S Berries and some Pokéblocks made from Grade S Berries. He wanted to send them to Lysandre.
His Good Friend was just too awesome!
After entrusting the Matter of sending the Berries and Pokéblocks to Hatterene, Bai Feng took the two newly acquired Poké Balls to the Warehouse where the Aircraft was stored.
Opening the Aircraft door, Bai Feng walked inside and then released Solosis and Porygon2.
"Solosis, Porygon2, please take care of me from now on!" Bai Feng greeted the two Pokémon in a friendly manner.
"Moo~"
Solosis waved its arms and greeted Bai Feng. It was originally a Pokémon Employee trained by Lysandre Labs but hadn't officially started work. Now that it was sent to Bai Feng, it would be Bai Feng's exclusive Pilot.
As a Psychic-type Pokémon, Solosis possesses extremely high intelligence. Its Psychic Power can form a network, quickly processing large amounts of information, which is much more reliable than a Human brain.
Porygon2 also rotated its peculiar body, silently greeting Bai Feng.
Compared to Porygon, the evolved Porygon2 looked significantly more lively and more like a real Pokémon.
The Initial Form Porygon looked somewhat dull and more like a program without its own thoughts than a Pokémon.
"I'll leave the Aircraft Driving to you from now on. Oh, right! How about we try it out now!" Bai Feng suddenly said excitedly.
"Moo~"
Solosis happily agreed. It flew to the Aircraft's Operating Console, waved its arms, and the entire console instantly lit up, including the Big Screen in front.
The moment the Big Screen lit up, Porygon2 transformed into a segment of data and drilled into the screen, transforming into a beautiful woman in a red dress before Bai Feng's astonished gaze.
"Initiate ship?" the red-dressed woman said expressionlessly.
"Are you Porygon2?" Bai Feng asked in wonder.
"Yes, Master. But now I am the ship's control core. You can also give me a name. My name will be the ship's name."
The woman spoke word by word, her Voice a bit stiff, but her appearance was undeniably beautiful. Lysandre Labs really knows how to have fun!
"Let's call you... Venus!" Bai Feng thought for a moment and said.
Venus is the name of the goddess of beauty. Bai Feng felt that the beautiful woman the ship's core transformed into was very suitable for this name.
"Okay, Master! Venus has been registered. Venus is at your service! Master, do you wish to initiate the ship?" Venus asked again.
So I need to give the command myself!
"Cough, cough, cough..." So Bai Feng cleared his Voice and said, "Initiate!"
Venus's Voice sounded again from the Big Screen: "Aircraft initiation preparations!" Her Voice seemed much smoother now.
As this Voice fell, Solosis's arms rapidly waved over the Operating Console. The colorful buttons flashed continuously. Then the Warehouse roof automatically opened.
The Pokémon outside all noticed the commotion from the Warehouse and looked over with Curiosity. Immediately after, they saw a Mantine-shaped Aircraft fly out of the Warehouse.
Its elegant coloring, smooth fuselage, nimble movements... truly awesome!
The curious Talonflame, Fletchinder, and Fletchling even circled around directly, examining the Aircraft.
Inside the Aircraft, Venus asked again, "Master, where would you like to go?"
This wasn't a question from the ship's core, but a Problem from the Pilot Solosis. It had formed a Consciousness link with the ship's core through Psychic and could ask all questions through the ship's core's mouth.
Bai Feng thought for a moment and said, "Just fly around the nearby Mountains for a bit!"
"Yes!" Venus replied.
And so, the Venus flew around the surrounding Mountains. Solosis's Driving Skill was very proficient, and the ship flew very smoothly. Even with many Talonflame, Fletchinder, and Fletchling circling around, it wasn't affected at all.
With a Pilot, Bai Feng can now take his Aircraft to the Galar Region to pick up Pupitar and bring it Home!
