Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

"Master Yi, don't go! How can I live without you, Master Yi!"

"At least Master Ge has some conscience; he knows what we want to see. With this scene, I can see my mom coming in and calling me for dinner!"

"Where's Ralts? Where's my Ralts? Master Yi and Milotic at least showed up in the competition a few days ago, but where's my lovely Ralts sister?!"

Ibrahimovic watched the frantically surging images, thought for a moment, and then typed a few words in the text box above the live stream screen.

"Xia Chen and Ralts went grocery shopping. I'll chat with you all for a while."

Holy crap! What did I just see?

Is an Eevee chatting with the live chat using text?

The chat fell silent for a moment, then erupted in even more intense chatter.

"??? Really? Could it be that Master Pigeon is hiding behind the keyboard and typing?"

"Don't delay the child's education, hurry up and send Master Yi to university!"

"Stop talking. I just asked my Ye Yibu to help me with my advanced math homework, and she gave me a Leaf Storm. If you have any conscience, Pigeon Master, come to the hospital to see me."

"What's the big deal? Many elves are just as intelligent as humans, and Metagross is practically a supercomputer. What's wrong with Master Yi saying a few words?"

"System message: [I will always love Master Yi] sent one hundred high-grade balls."

"Wow, the little rich girl is here too!"

"She spent 20,000 in one go, what a generous young lady!"

"The boss is confused!"

On the screen, Ibu twitched its ears, thought for a moment, and then typed another line of text.

"Thanks for the tip! Chatting is really inconvenient, so I'll play a couple of rounds of Pokémon League for you guys!"

audience:"."

You're an expert in everything from gaming to chatting, and you even thank people for tips. Are you actually a professional streamer who's also a part-time elf?

…………

"We're back! Ibu, come help us with these things, they're too heavy!"

Xia Chen carried bags of things in and out, calling out loudly for Eevee, who was supposed to be guarding the house.

At their feet, Ralts was also struggling to use her Nen to control and help.

But right now she's too weak to help Xia Chen with any of the burdens.

“Buyi—(Come in yourself, I can’t leave here.)”

Ibu's voice drifted from the room, but he didn't come out.

Although Xia Chen couldn't understand Elvish, he understood her meaning from Eevee's actions and could only summon Milotic to get him involved.

After putting his things away, Xia Chen curiously went into the room to see what this guy was busy doing instead of helping out.

But when I walked in, I saw Ibrahimovic sitting in front of his computer playing games!

Xia Chen was furious. So, while I, Ralts, Milotic, and the others worked so hard to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, you, as their senior, were just playing games here?

Xia Chen was about to teach the lazy Eevee a lesson when he realized that things weren't so simple.

What does the camera feed in the bottom left corner of the screen mean? Is this a live stream?

Xia Chen opened his phone blankly and saw the message that his account was live streaming.

Looking at the dense barrage of comments on the screen and his own stiff face in the camera, Xia Chen felt numb.

Ibrahimovic, do you dare to do something mortal?

------

"Could you please move aside, you're blocking the streamer?"

"I hope some pigeon makers can have some self-awareness and understand their own position."

"I suggest starting a live stream from three perspectives, one for each of Eintracht Frankenstein, Milotic, and Ralts."

"Watching online as the pigeon maker gets disliked 2333"

"Master Pigeon, if you give me a spot in an evolution experiment, I'll speak up for you."

Xia Chen thought he could isolate himself from the world by chopping vegetables and pretending to be an ostrich by not looking at the comments, but he didn't expect that the robot reading SC (paid comments) function on Pixiv would still make his blood pressure rise sharply.

Fortunately, he still has some true fans.

"[Yellow-skinned Mouse] left a paid comment saying, 'Happy New Year, Master Pigeon!' and then asked if you could maintain your monthly update frequency in the first half of next year? I really want to learn your new dishes."

Xia Chen felt a pang of sadness; there were actually people who were looking forward to the cooking video he had been putting off for so long. They were definitely true fans.

Even so, today's answer may disappoint him.

After carefully considering his words, Xia Chen replied, "Happy New Year to you too. As for next year's plans, I've decided to take a spontaneous trip with the elves, probably a few days after the New Year, so that's all for now."

Before Xia Chen could finish speaking, the voice of a robot continuously broadcasted from the phone.

"[I will always love Master Yi] left a paid comment saying: Master Ge, come to Alora! Food and lodging included!"

"[Trying to smile] Paid comment: Galar, I've got your back."

"[GuluGuluXia] left a paid comment saying: The natural scenery of Padiyaa is also very nice."

Welcome to the Unova region!

Xia Chen tried hard to suppress the unrestrained smile on his face, but his heart was already filled with joy.

Am I really that popular?

It seems these guys only complain about me verbally, but they actually like me quite a bit!

Xia Chen suppressed his wildly upturned smile. "Thank you all for your support, but I've already decided on my destination: the Carlos region. I'll definitely visit other regions in the future, and I'll come find you all then!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the voice broadcasting robot went into overdrive again.

Clearly, Xia Chen's answer satisfied fans in various regions, with fans in the Carlos region showing particular enthusiasm.

"[Fragrance Girl] left a paid message saying: Please be sure to come to the beautiful city of Fragrance City. I will treat you well."

Aroma City?

Xia Chen had an impression of this city in the Carlos region, but it was only from the game.

The sixth gym in the main storyline, the Aroma Gym, is located there. The gym leader, Marie, also seems to have a Sylveon.

Xia Chen doesn't mind meeting up with fans; the meaning of travel is to encounter more people and spirits.

The little anticipations along the way will surely make this trip more interesting.

However, the "fragrance girl" who calls herself "[this humble servant]" seems to have a strangely elegant yet childish air about her. Could it be that she's actually Ma Xiu, the owner of the aromatherapy academy?

Thinking of this, Xia Chen joked, "Thank you for the tip, boss. I will definitely go to Aroma City. Don't try to renege on your promise then."

"[Aroma Girl] left a paid comment: Of course, but remember to post an update when you arrive in Aroma City, and I will find you."

……

While cooking with the elves, I chatted with my fans, and tonight's dinner had a special flavor.

…………

After dinner, Xia Chen was sitting in front of the computer, preparing to end the broadcast, when the person with the nickname "[I will always love Master Yi]" sent another paid message worth 10,000 yuan.

"Master Pigeon, shall we watch another semi-final match of the Eight Masters Tournament together?"

The barrage of comments, finally catching Xia Chen, instantly erupted with "Seconded!" and "Support the rich woman tycoon!"

After all, this was a boss who had spent over ten thousand yuan on him in one night. Xia Chen stroked his chin, considered for a while, and then agreed.

As a quadrennial extravaganza for trainers worldwide, the Masters Tournament has an even greater influence than the World Cup in Xia Chen's previous life.

Pixiv has acquired the rights to broadcast the Eight Masters Tournament online, so Xia Chen can directly turn on the original audio and provide his own commentary.

Tonight is the first match of the Masters 8 semifinals, with Ardek from the Unova region and Cynthia from the Sinnoh region facing off.

Both are regional champions, but the former has held the title for seven years while the latter only recently took office.

On one side is the defending champion of the Masters Tournament, and on the other is a rising star. This battle between the old and the new has attracted the attention of the whole world.

The influence of a competition of this caliber truly reached the exaggerated level described by the phrase "the streets were deserted."

The match was held in the United States region. Due to the time difference between the two places, it was still sunny there, while it was already completely dark in the Eastern Empire.

At 7:45 PM, fifteen minutes before the match was scheduled to begin, rising star commentator Xia Chen was chatting and joking with his fans in the live stream.

…………

"Everyone should be familiar with the strongest champion, Alder. He is one of the few champions who can achieve such success with a Bug-type main character, so I won't go into too much detail. I would like to analyze the newly emerging Sinnoh champion, Cynthia."

The Cynthia in this world recently rose to become the new champion with lightning speed, and people don't know much about her.

Even most people were quite surprised that she was able to defeat the veteran champion of the Hoenn region and enter the semifinals in her first appearance at the Masters Tournament, calling her the biggest dark horse of this tournament.

However, after encountering Ardek, most media outlets believed before the race that this dark horse had already reached its limit.

After all, that was Adek, the strongest champion at the peak of his career, showing no signs of decline.

This public opinion environment gave Xia Chen room to maneuver.

How can you demonstrate your professionalism if you don't say something different from other commentators?

"To put it simply, Cynthia is very strong, extremely strong, so strong that I wouldn't be surprised at all if she won the championship this year."

Xia Chen took the initiative, uttering a statement that no one had ever dared to say before.

It has to be said that Xia Chen understands live streaming. What is the most important thing in live streaming?

It's definitely for the sake of the show!

Some streamers even dedicate their entire lives to creating entertaining content.

Xia Chen would never do something as outrageous as getting himself into jail, but it's his first time doing a live stream, so getting some attention isn't shameful.

Even from Xia Chen's own perspective, he didn't think his statement was attention-grabbing.

Who is Cynthia? She is the goddess of countless Pokémon fans, a symbol of popularity and strength.

Before the seventh generation, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was the strongest and most popular champion in the games and anime.
