Chapter 30 The Battle of Silver Mountain
Amidst howling winds, Lin Wan's character finally reached the summit of the snow-capped mountain.
Three more days passed, and people still hadn't found the keystone. Lin Wan also defeated Adu, the champion of the Johto region.
Logically, she should have chosen to move on to the next region and continue her campaign.
After all, this is the most popular way of saying things on the internet.
You can obtain the Keystone by completing the first playthrough of all four regions.
However, she has a collaboration with Hao Zheng, who is responsible for the live stream content in the Kanto and Hoenn regions. Lin Wan, on the other hand, is responsible for the live stream content in the Johto and Sinnoh regions.
Although Hao Zheng also completed the first playthrough of the Hoenn region, the streaming platform still allowed them to continue streaming, so they could only continue streaming their second playthrough of their own region.
However, she still had some advantages, since the second playthrough in the Johto region is the Kanto region, and now that she has collected all 16 badges, she is about to face the final challenge of the second playthrough.
A snowflake grew larger and larger, eventually obscuring the player's view. When a hand wiped away the snowflake from the screen, the game switched from a top-down perspective to a first-person perspective.
At that moment, a young boy who looked quite young stood in front of her.
He had messy black hair and a handsome but expressionless face, as if he had long been accustomed to the cold and loneliness of the mountaintop.
He was wearing only a black vest, a red jacket, blue trousers, and white shoes.
The screen was filled with greetings, and Lin Wan exclaimed in surprise.
"How come Brother Hao is here?"
Pokémon does not have a character customization system; a player's appearance is determined by the region they are assigned to and cannot be changed.
At this moment, the person standing in front of Lin Wan was Hao Zheng.
Or you could say he's the male protagonist of the Kanto region: RED.
Hearing Lin Wan's exclamation, Hao Zheng couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Meanwhile, Hao Zheng's live stream was also flooded with comments.
"Brother Hao, hurry and check Wan'er's live stream! She met you at the top of Baiyin Mountain!"
"Yes, he looks exactly like Brother Hao's character. I have a feeling something big is going to happen."
Meanwhile, the comments section was filled with question marks as people were confused, and they all urged Hao Zheng to go and see what was going on.
Meanwhile, Hao Zheng was shopping in town and had nothing else to do, so he muted the game and came to Lin Wan's live stream.
Accompanied by a familiar melody, RED turned around, said nothing, and threw out his Poké Ball.
Pokémon Trainer Red has come to challenge them.
The live chat exploded instantly.
"Holy crap!!! What does this mean? I'm hitting myself!"
"Wait, what's with this?"
At this moment, Lin Wan's eyes were already filled with tears, and the viewers in the live chat were also somewhat confused by her appearance.
Lin Wan looked at Pikachu standing in front of her and said:
"Some of you may know that my brother is an employee of Tangren Games."
As you all know, I asked him a couple of days ago where the Keystone is.
His answer at the time was:
In the hands of the strongest character in the game.
Who is the strongest character?
I've had this question for the past few days.
Now I finally understand.
The strongest character in the game...
It can only be me.
After saying that, she wiped away her tears, clicked the mouse, and the previously frozen dialog box popped up again.
"Go, Bangiras, prove to my past self..."
"The strongest trainer in this world can only be me!"
"Holy crap! Tangren Games is awesome!"
"That's not surprising, that's not surprising at all. The Johto region represents tradition, so how can this not be a kind of tradition?"
"Not just the past me. This Crimson can also be seen as the future me from another timeline. So, no matter who you are, the strongest Pokémon Trainer in the world can only be me!"
As a menacing-looking green monster appeared, the large snowflakes gradually disappeared, replaced by a sky full of yellow sand.
"Bangiras! Use Earthquake!"
But its opponent was faster. The yellow mouse rushed in front of it in the blink of an eye, raised its tail, and slapped it in the face. The Tyranitar staggered, and its health dropped rapidly until it had only 20 points left.
However, type advantages and disadvantages still exist. When Tyranitar used Earthquake, the ridiculously strong Pikachu could only leave the field in frustration.
The second Pokémon REN sent out was Blastoise.
The opponent was still faster than Tyranitar. Before the second Earthquake could be used, the water jet from Blastoise's cannon took away its remaining 20 HP.
Having experienced the trials of the Johto region, Lin Wan was no longer the trainer who acted on impulse. She chose to send out an Ampharos, whose type was super effective against Squirtle.
"Electric Dragon, use 100,000 volts!"
Perhaps because the opponent was of a higher level, Blastoise attacked first again. This time, RED did not choose a Water-type move that it was weak against, but instead chose to use Focus Blast.
However, since this is not a STAB move, its power is limited, so it only managed to take down about a third of the Ampharos's health.
However, the electric waves emitted from the horns of the electric dragon were extremely powerful, instantly killing the aggressive Blastoise.
Next up is Snorlax. This seemingly docile and cute Pokémon has developed a hint of ferocity under RED's training. As soon as it came out of its Poké Ball, it opened its mouth and bit Ampharos.
Lin Meng was just as fast. At the last second, she recalled the fragile Electric Dragon and sent out Heracross, whose type was super effective against Snorlax.
Heracross was instantly burned by the flaming orb, but due to its tenacity, its attack power not only did not decrease, but actually increased.
Still at a speed disadvantage, Snorlax, which was countered, had no choice but to be defeated by a Fighting-type close-range attack.
RED then sent out Charizard. Heracross is a Bug/Fighting type and is four times weak to Flying, so it's impossible for it to defeat Charizard.
If type advantage were taken into account, Lin Wan would naturally have to switch Pokémon, but she didn't, choosing instead to let Heracross continue using melee combat.
A group of viewers in the live chat couldn't understand her actions and kept asking question marks.
Why not switch in Empoleon, which has a type advantage over Charizard, when you already have it?
Hao Zheng understood her move and began to explain to the viewers in the live chat.
"The known Pokémon pool includes: Pikachu, Blastoise, Snorlax, Charizard, and most likely a third starter Pokémon, Venusaur, and one unknown Pokémon."
If Wan'er sends out Empoleon now, her ace Pokémon will likely be taken down by Venusaur. While she could then send out Typhlosion to finish off Venusaur, given the opponent's higher average level, if Red pulls out some strange last Pokémon, Wan'er's chances of survival are slim.
