Pokémon battle for Huaxia

Shan Weiyu was completely panicked. Looking at the frozen battlefield and at the emotionless, icy eyes of Double Ice, she finally realized—she had kicked a hornet's nest. Her meticulously planned "cross-industry collaboration" had now turned into a complete disaster.

Shan Weiyu also has good professional skills; she even set up her own phone stand to do a live stream.

"Little brother Qiancheng truly lives up to his reputation as a top-tier trainer. But if I win next, I'll have to cooperate well with the live stream! Magneton, Thunderbolt!" Shan Weiyu even unleashed her trainer-level skills!

Electricity crackled and popped in the air as a thick beam of 100,000 volts shot straight at the fire-breathing dragon's face—the sound of electricity tearing through the air was broadcast across the entire internet via the live microphone.

Qiancheng stood still, not even raising an eyebrow. He glanced at the approaching electric current, then gently raised his right fist towards the direction in front of the Charizard.

"Charizard, spitting fire."

"boom--!"

The flames in Charizard's throat instantly expanded into a crimson torrent, no longer the scattered spray from the overturned equipment, but condensed into a precise pillar of fire. The electric current from the skill contact instantly dissipated into tiny sparks, but the pillar of fire was unstoppable, easily repelling Thunderbolt—the aftershocks swept across Magneton's metallic body, shaking it off its feet.

"W-What?!" Shan Weiyu's pupils suddenly contracted, and she blurted out in shock. She had clearly calculated the type advantage and even charged Magneton to its maximum power in advance, intending to defeat Charizard in one blow.

But Qiancheng's strength far exceeded her expectations. She considered herself to have seen many excellent Pokémon battle streamers, but she only realized the difference in strength when she actually met Qiancheng.

"Did you just learn that 100,000 volts thing on the spot?" Qiancheng said bluntly.

"We should head out now, we're done playing with you, you big streamer. Charizard, Dragon Claw, you know Magneton!"

But Qiancheng didn't want to waste any more time with her. He glanced at the chaotic equipment outside the arena, then at Shan Weiyu's forced smile, and said coldly, "We should go too. We're not playing with a big streamer like you anymore. Charizard, Dragon Claw, understand Magneton!"

"Magneto, cannon!" Shan Weiyu shouted urgently.

The gray energy ball from the cannon shot hurtled towards Charizard with a whooshing sound, but Charizard didn't even move its feet. It simply swung its right claw forward—the claw, with its edge scorching with flames, precisely struck the side of the energy ball, shattering it into countless points of light.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon claw stretched forward with lightning speed and struck Magneton's side directly!

"boom!"

The metallic clang was deafening. Magneton flew backward like a kite with a broken string, but unexpectedly crashed into the backup live streaming equipment suspended in mid-air—a row of lights that had been thrown out of control by Magneton and were hurtling towards the direction where Shan Weiyu was!

"Watch out!" Shan Weiyu's pupils shrank suddenly, and she instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too late.

At this critical moment, Magneton forcibly twisted its body in mid-air, using the side of its metallic body to block the drone from below, while simultaneously deploying an electromagnetic field to mitigate the impact.

"boom!"

The lamp stand slammed heavily onto Magnemite's back, sending parts flying everywhere. It groaned as it pressed down on the Magnemite, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The metal casing was dented several times, but it successfully created a safe space for Shan Weiyu, leaving her unharmed.

Shan Weiyu stood there, stunned, looking at the Magneton kneeling on the ground with its shell damaged, and then at Qiancheng watching coldly from a distance. She felt a mix of emotions. She had wanted to create a buzz by using the trainer battle, but she was completely outmatched and even had her Pokémon take the blame for her.

Just as Qiancheng was about to step forward to rescue her and leave, he noticed a gray shadow suddenly darting out from the shadows in the corner of the arena—it was a small Rattata, its fur dark, its cheek pouches taut with effort, biting down hard on a steel bracket supporting the live broadcast lights with a ferocity disproportionate to its size.

"Crack——!"

The ear-piercing sound of metal being gnawed by sharp teeth was particularly jarring in the chaotic scene. Little Rada pushed off the ground with all four paws, its muscles taut like bowstrings, and forcefully bit the thumb-thick steel frame off at the base! The broken lampstand crashed to the ground with a "bang," and the debris that had been hanging in mid-air and might have fallen due to the vibration came to a steady stop, completely eliminating the threat to Shan Weiyu.

"Ratattarata..."

"Little Rada... what are you doing in here!"

Shan Weiyu crouched down, carefully picking up the little Rada. She gently brushed away the rust from its mouth with her fingertips. The panic in her voice faded considerably, replaced by a tenderness she herself didn't even realize.

"You little rascal...when did you sneak in? Do you know how dangerous it was just now?" The little Rada rubbed against her palm, making a soft "chirp" sound, as if it was being affectionate or asking for praise.

"You used to be a very loving pet-raising streamer, with Magnemite and Rattata as your partners. But then your mom got sick and needed money, and things just spiraled out of control, right?"

This statement contained no questioning, no sarcasm, just a straightforward statement, yet it acted like a key, precisely prying open the layers of calculation and sweet smile that Shan Weiyu concealed within. Her hand holding little Rada froze abruptly, the color draining from her face, and even her breath caught in her throat for a moment.

Shan Weiyu's lips trembled slightly; she wanted to retort, but couldn't utter a single word. She recalled herself three years ago: in a small livestreaming room, patiently explaining the electromagnetic field principles of Magneton, grooming Rattata, and feeding it its favorite berries; the chat was full of...

"The rain is so gentle."

A comment read, "I want to see Rattata learn skills."

Back then, she was indeed a Pokémon breeding streamer who genuinely loved Pokémon and dreamed of opening her own breeding center so that every Pokémon could be treated gently.

But her mother's illness came suddenly, and the expensive medical bills were like a bottomless pit. She tried to do commercial performances and live-streaming sales, but the money was far from enough. Until one day, her agent said that "creating a CP, causing conflict, and riding the wave of popularity" was the fastest way to make money. She gritted her teeth and compromised—from a "pokémon breeding streamer" to a "popular blogger," from genuinely loving Pokémon to using Pokémon as a "traffic tool."

She thought she had hidden it well, that no one would remember the "outdated" Xiaoyu, but Qiancheng saw through her past at a glance.

"Considering your mother is sick and needs money, I won't pursue this matter this time. Take care of yourself."

Qiancheng left with Charizard and Double Ice, and Shan Weiyu, holding Little Rattata, seemed to have made a decision as she watched Qiancheng leave.

The controversy surrounding the live stream came and went quickly; a few days later, Qiancheng was going to throw away the Pokémon ball storage box that Nuoyan had bought. The counterfeit product was already broken.

On Nuoyan's phone, there was a new, increasingly popular live stream by Shan Weiyu.

There are no dazzling special effects or extravagant sets, only a simple breeding house—clean food bowls, medicine boxes and several potted plants are placed on the wooden shelves, a little Rattata is happily munching on a berry in the corner, and Magneton is quietly floating on the stand, its core glowing softly like a night light.

Shan Weiyu wore a simple beige knit sweater and appeared without makeup. Her signature white highlights were braided into a headscarf with a Poké Ball pattern, giving her a gentle and unpretentious look.

Moreover, she changed the name back to her own name—Li Lanhua's Nursery.
