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

Therefore, Harper's live streams usually attract around 5,000 viewers, and often exceed 10,000.

While not a top streamer, it's not an exaggeration to say she's somewhat famous.

But once a person steps into this arena of fame and fortune, the ambition to climb higher is bound to arise, and Harper was no exception.

When he noticed the incredibly conspicuous crack in the sky amidst the commotion of the people around him while he was battling fish in the park, he knew that his chance had come.

Explore the rift and become famous!

The thought instantly took root in his mind and could never be extinguished.

I surrender!

Harper decisively conceded defeat to his opponent, then summoned his flying mount, the Goblin Bird, grabbed his phone Rotom, and set off.

His opponent was clearly not interested in fighting at this moment. He was only half surprised and half excited as he looked up at the deep crack and several figures heading towards it.

The cool night breeze blew against his face and seeped into his skin. Harper didn't feel cold at all; instead, he felt as if a raging fire was burning in his chest.

He pointed the Rotom camera at the crack and spoke excitedly to the viewers flooding into the live stream.

"Okay, guys, all eyes on me! This will be a live stream that goes down in history. I'm going to take you on a journey to discover the secrets of this mysterious rift. Don't forget to follow me! Without further ado, we're almost there!"

Although he kept saying he was almost there, it was just a visual illusion; in reality, he was still quite a distance from the crack that hung far in the sky.

Harper, this big bird with a goblin beak, is at least of elite-level strength and is a flying-type Pokémon specifically designed for riding, so its speed is definitely not slow.

It's been almost ten minutes since we flew, and we still haven't arrived?

Harper was even more awestruck by the enormous crack that seemed to have torn a hole in the sky.

…………

Harper wasn't the only one stunned; the viewers who kept flooding into the live stream were equally impressed.

A barrage of comments scrolled across the screen, propelling the live stream to the top of the popularity charts.

"What the hell is this? Special effects?"

"You're obviously not from Alora, otherwise you would have seen this crack if you looked up."

"This is the closest streamer I've seen. Go for it! I'll give you ten Super Balls!"

"Are you really not going to listen to advice? The broadcast said this thing is very dangerous and should not be approached. The anchor should be careful!"

"Looking down on our Alola's Little Dante, huh? The streamer is a Gym Leader level Trainer, more than capable of protecting himself, charge! Charge!"

"Let's still have some respect. What if a legendary Pokémon like Eternatus emerges from the rift? What's a Gym Leader compared to that?"

"If the streamer doesn't watch, what are we supposed to watch? Nobody's forcing us to watch if we don't like it!"

"Stop trying to persuade them. Give up your desire to help others and respect their fate."

"Fun fact: Pigeon Master made an appearance in Alola recently. You can decide for yourselves whether it's a blessing or a curse."

"It's over! A humanoid monster is guarding the area. The residents of Alola are in trouble!"

"Although I believe in science, Xia Chen is really weird!"

The comments section was filled with wildly imaginative remarks, ranging from guessing what the crack was and what was inside, to exploring the relationship between Xia Chen and the crack.

However, to be fair, their guess was actually correct. Xia Chen was related to this suddenly appearing crack, and the relationship was quite close, but no one knew it yet.

Just as the audience in the live stream were having a heated discussion, a black dot suddenly appeared in Harper's eyes and kept getting bigger.

He was both surprised and delighted, and quickly interacted with the viewers in the live stream.

"Brothers, see that black dot? It's probably coming out of the crack. Quick, let's go see what it is. Maybe it's a new elf we've never seen before!"

The audience naturally reacted enthusiastically, with many wealthy viewers sending virtual gifts. Even those who advised Harper to stay away from the crack couldn't resist their curiosity and waited for the black dot to approach.

The answer was quickly revealed. As they rushed towards each other, the black dot magnified in the camera, and what appeared on the screen was a strange and terrifying elf with a scarlet body, bursting muscles all over its body, and a sharp, slender mouth.

Harper and the audience were stunned; it was a completely new elf unlike anything they had ever seen before!

"Brothers, we've witnessed history!!"

Harper shouted excitedly, and the popularity of the live stream soared.

"We've discovered a new Pokémon!!"

He cleverly shared the credit for discovering the new sprite with the audience, trying to please his customers; it wouldn't be shameful.

However, what Harper and the audience did not know was that this ultimate monster, named Burst Mosquito, had been discovered and studied by the Aether Foundation long ago.

Just as the streamer and the audience were cheering, the blood-red eyes of the muscle-bursting mosquito that had spotted them earlier revealed a violent and ferocious glint.

Its thin, amber-colored wings, not particularly wide, flapped at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye as it swooped down towards the large, gun-beaked bird!

The hunt has begun!

…………

Harper watched the fierce, charging unknown elf and a sudden sense of unease welled up inside him.

This is certainly not some kind of spider sense, but rather the judgment of an excellent trainer. Based solely on speed, he can determine that this Pokémon possesses formidable strength.

But he didn't want to back down, nor could he.

This has nothing to do with the trainer's dignity or honor; it's simply because of their own interests.

At this moment, the live stream was very popular, and all the viewers were looking forward to the streamer's battle with the new Pokémon, or even to catching it!

Once he quit, his live streaming career was completely ruined.

This encounter was unavoidable.

Fortunately, Harper's secondary attribute is Flying, and half of his main Pokémon have the ability to fight in the air.

Harper slowly exhaled and took out three Poké Balls from a familiar spot on his waist.

A flash of white light appeared, and three imposing Pokémon appeared in the air: Pelipper, Electivire, and Harper's ace Pokémon, Gyarados.

Harper distanced himself from the elves to make it easier to bring the entire battle into Rotom's field of vision later.

These are three Pokémon that don't belong to the Rain Team. Harper sent them out simply because they were the only Pokémon he had that could fly.

But coincidentally, the three sprites also cooperated somewhat—

Pelipper activates Rain and Tailwind, allowing Gyarados and Electivire to unleash their full power. As long as the Pokémon isn't excessively strong, defeating it shouldn't be a problem.

Even the strongest wild Pokémon rarely reach the Elite Four level or higher. Harper felt that her luck wouldn't be so bad that the unknown Pokémon she encountered had such strength.

"Puffin, Tailwind! Electric Petrifier, Thunder! Gyarados, Dragon Dance!"

Harper methodically issued the first command to the three Pokémon, covering everything from terrain and boosting to attack.

His calm demeanor also impressed the viewers in the live stream. Who knows, we might actually witness this streamer become the first person to capture this new Pokémon.

However, the next second, a horrifying scene on the screen shattered their illusions.

But then the burly creature, which looked like it had grown a mosquito's head out of its muscles, suddenly accelerated and threw a punch of unknown technique at the Bighead Carpenter standing at the front.

…………

boom--

It's hard to imagine that such a seemingly ordinary punch could generate such a stir, but that's exactly what happened.

With a punch coming from the west, the Bigmouth Gull instantly fell into a deep sleep, like a baby, and plummeted downwards in a freefall motion.

Ignoring the thunderous crash from the sky, the burly mosquito flapped its thin wings and swooped down, catching up with the beak that was already on the verge of death.

What is it going to do?

Harper and the viewers in the live stream were stunned.

In a proper Pokémon battle, the referee would definitely stop Buzzwole right now, and might even disqualify it for violating the rules of the game. But this is not a battle, it's a fight.

There are no rules to restrain the behavior of the blowfly mosquito.

It stopped a bighead gull from freefall, its long, sharp, silver beak piercing the gull's body.

In just a few seconds, the gull's body lost its vitality at a visible speed, its blue and white body withering away like a wilted flower.

"No, Peacock!"

Harper shouted loudly, trying to stop the blowfly mosquitoes from feeding on the life force of their companions who had been with them for over a decade.

However, the terrifying beast paid no heed. After a few more seconds of completely absorbing the life force of the Pelipper, it looked up at the furious and shocked Electabuzz and Gyarados with a lingering sense of satisfaction, and then tossed the lifeless Pelipper aside like trash.

"Booz—"

After a piercing screech, the burr mosquito leaped up with incredible speed and charged toward its new prey.

At that moment, Harper finally realized how unforgivable the mistake he had made.

But it was too late.

The last image in this live stream was forever frozen on the scene of a ferocious, malevolent beast being magnified in the camera's view—a scene comparable to a horror movie.

Then, the live stream ended.

The same scene unfolded in a different form in the airspace above the Paradise of Ether.

The difference lies in the fact that the trainers, using different Pokémon, encountered different "new Pokémon"—

A sprite resembling a jellyfish, a sprite that looks like a humanoid cockroach yet exudes a seductive charm, or a humanoid sprite that resembles several electrical wires tangled together...

What remains the same is the outcome: those who encounter these ultimate monsters can be described by the title of a book—"And Then There Were None".

And the images left behind by these “brave and fearless” people with their lives, unsurprisingly, caused a sensation that shocked the world!

…………

On the world's most popular social media platforms, the hottest topics have all been dominated by this event that occurred in the Alola region.

Unknown rifts, unknown spirits, and these spirits' immense power and tyrannical nature...

The world, which had been at peace for a long time, was thrown into turmoil by this mysterious and unknown rift.

People in other regions were naturally shocked and excited by this news, but those in Alora were more filled with fear.

How long will this rift last, how many terrifying Pokémon will escape from it, and what impact will they have on the whole of Alola?

Nobody knows this.

The incident was sudden, and the newly formed and immature Alola League offered almost no contingency measures, which made people who were already fearful even more worried.
