Chapter 451 Meiyue: I learned it from Teacher Yu!
Mizuki's appearance was quite unexpected for Aoba.
A few days ago, near Dr. Kukui's research institute, he had already noticed the place that was probably where the future protagonist would live.
However, the house didn't even have a nameplate yet, so it looked like no one had moved in yet.
In addition, Mizuki is originally from Kanto, and she will move to Alola with her mother when the Sun & Moon storyline begins, starting her "championship journey".
Therefore, Qingyu had the preconceived notion that he would not see her on this trip.
But Mizuki did indeed appear in the Alola region, and was chatting with Lillie, looking very familiar with her.
Although she didn't quite understand the reason, Qingyu didn't care too much.
After all, at this time, Mizuki was just an ordinary little girl, and it was still a long way from her becoming a legendary trainer who was only slightly inferior to Red.
Today's focus, of course, is still on the grand celebration and introducing the culture and customs of Alora to the viewers in my live stream.
So, Qingyu only paused for a few seconds before stepping forward again and casually finding a seat near the front.
"Let me introduce you all. Today is the annual grand celebration on Melemele Island! It's said that if you're lucky, you might even have a chance to meet the legendary island guardian deity!"
As a professional streamer, Qingyu gave a brief explanation to the audience before turning the conversation to the Alola Mythology, which they might be more interested in.
"Legend has it that the four island gods of the Alola region were each given the responsibility of protecting their islands, and the local people would hold a festival on each island every year to thank them, hoping to attract the attention of the island guardian gods."
"To this day, the celebration has become an important festival for the Alora people, and many of the celebration's programs have been passed down."
Qingyu shifted her perspective, turning to the Gara Gara who were performing a strange dance in a corner of the plaza not far away.
"Those are Alolan Marowak. They generate flames by rubbing their bone clubs together on their foreheads and then spin and dance with the lit clubs. Locals call them magicians."
"During the festival, the Galaga's dance is a popular part of the festivities, and they also beat their drums when things get lively, adding a background music to the celebration."
Because of its remote island location, many Pokémon have acquired entirely new forms in Alola; even Raichu can now surf with its tail.
Therefore, it's actually quite normal to have a Gara-Gara that can start a fire with a bone club and also has psychic abilities.
At least that's what Qingyu thinks.
[Teacher Yu, I understand the logic, but the regional form is just too strange! How did it change from Ground type to Fire/Ghost?]
Actually, Galahad is already dead; it's controlled by ————
[The Parastas literature of the ditch is still chasing me!]
Perhaps infected by the lively atmosphere of the All-Out Celebration, the audience relaxed and began to immerse themselves in the Alola journey from Yu's perspective, and the tone of the comments became much more relaxed and humorous.
"Speaking of Ghost-type, it is said that Marowak's bone club is made from the bones of its mother, which is why the flames it burns are blue-green like will-o'-the-wisps."
Qingyu suddenly remembered some settings about Galagala, so she spoke slowly.
"Perhaps even after they leave this world, they will still silently protect their children who must be strong."
"I see. Does that mean that for every new Crawdragora that appears, a Crawdragora mother dies?"
Just as Qingyu was feeling sentimental, a cheerful girl's voice suddenly came from beside her, her tone seemingly tinged with confusion.
Qingyu: ?
Qingyu subconsciously turned her head and met Meiyue's gaze, who had somehow appeared beside her.
When?
【???Who is speaking!】
[Aren't there other adorable people around Teacher Yu? Isn't she worried about the Bamboo Orchid Champion sharpening his sword?]
[To be honest, this question sounds a bit dark. Don't ruin our beautiful Pokémon fairy tale!]
What an adorable little girl! And the blonde girl in the dress behind her is cute too!
As expected, the audience was immediately drawn to the suddenly appearing girl, and the serious atmosphere of the science popularization came to an abrupt end.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself!"
It wasn't until she saw obvious confusion in Qingyu's eyes that the energetic girl with the red knitted hat and black bob haircut realized what was happening and clapped her hands loudly.
"Hello, Ms. Yu! I'm Mizuki from Kanto, and I'm also a big fan of yours!"
"----Hello?"
Qingyu was also a little confused for a moment.
Similar to my initial impression of her, this true protagonist of Alola seems to be an extremely outgoing and sociable socialite.
"And Lillie too, good evening."
"Hmm... Good evening, Teacher Yu."
Out of politeness, Aoba also greeted Lillie, and received a completely different reaction than Mizuki.
In comparison, Lillie, who was huddled behind her, seemed like a complete social phobia.
"So, does Teacher Yu know the answer to that question?"
Mizuki blinked, looking like a curious child, and steered the conversation back, seemingly eager for a definite answer.
""
Qingyu remained silent for a few seconds, while her brain began to work rapidly.
Logically speaking, Mizuki's conjecture is correct.
After all, Marowak was a Pokémon recorded by Professor Oak in the first edition of the Pokédex, and after so many years of research, it is almost impossible for it to have any obvious errors.
Therefore, although the bestiary doesn't explicitly state it, the birth of the Calacara likely did coincide with the death of their mother.
Even the skulls they wear on their faces are the last protection from their mother.
But he just couldn't bring himself to say it!
It's not like me to tell such a cruel reality to two little girls who look only twelve or thirteen years old!
Fortunately, after thinking it over, he quickly came up with a reasonable explanation.
"Sometimes even picture books aren't accurate; perhaps those bones come from their ancestors?"
"Marowak is a very united Pokémon, and it is said that they can sense special power in their bones."
"Is that so?"
Mizuki nodded, seemingly understanding, and quickly stopped worrying about the issue.
"Thank you for answering my question, Ms. Yu!"
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
Qingyu waved her hand.
After finally managing to smooth things over, he was about to glance at the comments when Mizuki's next question was immediately thrown at him.
"Then how does the Alolan Exeggutor grow so tall? Doesn't its neck get tired with such a long neck?"
"And another one, that dark-skinned Meowth over there too, did it get so tanned from sunbathing too much in Alola?"
Once she started talking, Mizuki, like a curious child, asked several questions related to the shape of the region, leaving Aoba somewhat helpless.
However, since they are your fans, you should be a little more patient.
So, Aoba began to patiently explain the question she had raised to Mizuki.
[Tears welling up, Teacher Yu, you're so kind, I'm crying so hard!]
[When did Teacher Yu become so gentle? She wasn't like this at all when she came to challenge the Sunshine Dojo!]
"You don't understand, do you? Teacher Yu is trying to lure the newbies to the Sunshine Dojo so she can give them a good lesson!"
Is that right?
""
The viewers in the live chat immediately realized something was wrong.
While Aoba patiently answered Mizuki's questions, Lillie, standing behind Mizuki, was also secretly observing her.
At the same time, I couldn't help but think—
As expected of Teacher Yu, she knows so much about Alola Pokémon, that's amazing!
And Mizuki was the same; as soon as she saw Teacher Yu, she immediately came over to ask him questions, just as naturally as when she had chatted with him earlier.
If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to communicate with strangers so naturally.
Lillie glanced at Mizuki, her eyes filled with envy.
Just as Qingyu finished explaining the last question and successfully won the admiring gazes of the two "little fangirls".
Suddenly, a powerful drumbeat came from not far away.
He turned his head and saw that the island king, Old Man Hala, whom he had met before, had somehow walked onto the celebration stage and was looking across the bonfire at the crowd patiently waiting on the other side.
"The grand celebration is about to begin!"
A local behind him exclaimed in surprise, and after that first cry, cheers erupted from the other tourists who had come to join the fun.
"It seems the Q&A session will have to end here."
Qingyu smiled, and Chong Meiyue waved.
However, she showed no intention of leaving. Instead, she looked at Qingyu with starry eyes and then spoke decisively!
"Ms. Yu, may Lillie and I sit here?"
"I heard the All-Out Festival has a battle segment, right? I bet Yu-sensei will join the battle too!"
"Yes—of course."
Qingyu certainly wouldn't refuse.
Rather, he thought he was already incredibly powerful, but he never expected there to be other experts out there.
"After all, it's an annual celebration. If I can't participate, I feel like something's missing."
"And, you might even have a chance to meet the island's guardian deity, Melemele Island!"
"----very nice!"
Mizuki nodded longingly, then looked somewhat disappointed.
"It's a pity I haven't become a Trainer yet. It seems I can only make up for this regret when I move to the Alola region next year."
"So, Lillie, what about you?"
At that moment, she suddenly remembered that she had been so curious about Pokémon that she had subconsciously ignored her new friend Lillie, so she turned around and asked her.
"—I didn't become a trainer either."
Lillie shook her head, her expression somewhat complicated.
Qingyu noticed this and had a rough guess in his mind. It was probably the same as in the anime. Because of her childhood experience, Lillie was afraid of contacting Pokémon, so her personality was also a little introverted.
That's good, or rather, it's a relief for him.
In the game's storyline, Lillie's mother, Lusamine, is a somewhat obsessive villain who isn't very kind to Lillie and Gladion.
But the animated storyline is different; she still loves her two children very much and is a very good mother.
At least it should be easier to talk to her if I need to contact her in the future.
As Grandpa Hara stepped onto the stage, the once bustling town of Lili suddenly fell silent, and even the wild Pokémon around them collectively fell silent, patiently waiting for his opening remarks.
Hala only said a few words, then laughed and waved.
The eager Alora Mara Mara immediately stepped forward, circled the campfire, and began to wave their bone clubs, dancing in unison.
"I hereby declare the full-scale celebration to begin!"
"To let Lord Tapu Koko feel our passion, please show your best in battle and forget about winning or losing!"
After saying that, Mr. Hala gave up his spot, leaving the open space in the center of the square for the local young people who were about to take the stage, as well as the tourists who had signed up for the fun.
"The all-out celebration battles will continue for some time until a final victor is determined."
Qingyu glanced at Rotom's phone in the live stream and began to explain.
"The winner will have the opportunity to challenge Hala, the king of the islands, and that's when the real show begins."
"Tapoo Koko might also make an appearance at the end. If I have the chance, I'll take a picture and show it to you. Yu-sensei is definitely a professional when it comes to capturing legendary Pokémon."
"good!"
Before the comments could react, Mizuki, who was standing next to her, was the first to respond.
"But, Mr. Yu, aren't you participating in the battle?"
Qingyu shook her head, her expression somewhat strange.
"Let the kids heat things up first; if I join in now, it'll feel like I'm abusing them—"
He looked at the flashing Poké Balls in the square and the little creatures jumping out of them, most of which were not yet fully evolved Pokémon such as Owl, Litten, or Zangoose.
As a proper gym leader and attribute master champion, it wouldn't be good if I made a kid cry.
"Okay—I was originally thinking of seeing Yu-sensei's fighting style firsthand, and maybe I could learn a lot from it."
Mizuki nodded with some regret, then looked with great interest at the square where a massive battle was taking place.
"This is great! I can command my favorite Pokémon in battle!"
Does Mizuki have a favorite Pokémon?
Seeing her like this, Qingyu suddenly felt curious and took the initiative to ask.
"You mentioned before that you're moving to the Alola region next year, right? Are you planning to collect the local Pokémon and start an island trek?"
"Mmm! I love Rowlet the most!"
When the topic of her interests came up, Mizuki's tone became much more excited.
"Also—after watching Teacher Yu's videos, I think raising a powerful Blazing Roaring Tiger sounds pretty good; it would give me a lot of peace of mind!"
Qingyu: ?
Oh no, these are truly high-quality viewers who genuinely watch my livestream!
He almost unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth at her originally innocent thoughts.
But at this moment, Mizuki suddenly mentioned the name of the Tiger God, and it seemed that she was influenced by him —?
It seems like Mizuki was led astray by herself from the very beginning!
No—maybe we've embarked on the right path?
Qingyu's expression was complicated for a moment.
