Chapter 323
"Live stream? I've watched their previous live streams before, they're probably just some everyday Pokémon, right?"
"No, look at this advertisement."
"A mysterious Songstress is a guest on the live stream... Holy crap, could this be the girl who Sing last time?"
It started as just a post on "Trainer Diary" on his own account, but it quickly spread across the internet.
No one underestimates the efficiency of internet dissemination, but the speed of this dissemination is truly astonishing. In fact, in almost every Pokémon discussion group, people are frantically forwarding it, and what's most frightening is that this is all spontaneous.
Everyone has indeed been waiting for this mysterious Songstress for far too long.
From that strange video onwards, this person seemed to have vanished without a trace. What's most frightening is that even if someone wanted to find information about the girl's past, they couldn't find anything.
All these factors combined to further pique everyone's curiosity, and after brewing for so long, it finally exploded all at once.
This time, it's not just fans who have been following this story who have gotten involved; it has also attracted a lot of onlookers who are just there for the fun. Everyone is eager to know what kind of surprise this mysterious "Songstress" will bring.
Nighttime, in Lillie's room.
"Wow, it hasn't even started airing yet, how come there are already so many people?"
Qiao Ran looked at the more than 100,000 viewers displayed on the computer screen and couldn't help but complain. The other girls came over to take a look and were also greatly shocked.
The person involved, Altaria, was so frightened that she started stammering.
"Ten thousand... tens of thousands of people... are there really so many people coming to see me? Am I supposed to Sing in front of all this people?"
"It's okay, it's okay, they can't see it anyway, just pretend it doesn't exist, and talk Sing as usual. Haven't you been practicing for so long?"
Qiao Ran patted her on the shoulder to encourage her, though his own hand was trembling slightly.
Online attention is one thing, but it's nothing compared to the number of viewers of a live stream. The thought that there might be over 100,000 people watching their live stream in front of their computer screens, including some of his acquaintances, made Qiao Ran feel uneasy.
Is it stress?
Or is it something else entirely?
First, there's his cousin, she'll definitely watch it. As for Sabrina... and the other Gym Leader he knows, even Cynthia and Phoebe, they'll probably watch it too.
All he can think of right now is to do a good job with tonight's live stream. The first part might require him to have a conversation with Altaria and ask her some questions, but the rest of the time will have to be left to Altaria herself.
To lose face in front of so many people would be a stain on one's reputation for life.
"Come on, come on, everything will be alright."
Several girls watching also offered encouragement. Although they might not be able to help directly, their presence helped calm Qiao Ran and Altaria down considerably.
As time ticked by, the agreed-upon eight o'clock finally arrived.
Next comes the most important moment.
The live stream by Altaria did indeed attract a lot of attention. Just as Qiao Ran had expected, many people he knew were watching in front of their screens, not only his cousin's family, but also his mother and even Hua Wanshuang's family, all waiting for the live stream to start on time.
Many people were actually using this video platform and the live streaming function for the first time, but thanks to its somewhat wider reach, they all joined the ranks of viewers.
The number of viewers, exceeding 100,000, was only before the broadcast began. When the beautiful girl actually appeared on screen, the number of viewers continued to rise.
"Hi everyone, my name is Qiqi... Um... This is my first time participating in a live stream or similar event, so please forgive me if I do anything wrong."
The girl with long blue hair smiled in front of the screen. This was the first time she had appeared in front of everyone in such a "clear" state. In front of the camera, she looked even more beautiful and refined than in that performance.
So cute~
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. uuuuuuuuuuuu It's a real person!"
A flood of comments appeared all at once. The voice of the Altaria was already captivating enough, and coupled with her cute and beautiful appearance, it made people instantly fall in love with this special girl.
The opening segment not only included Altaria's self-introduction, but also a question-and-answer session between Qiao Ran and her. Of course, Qiao Ran, as the one asking the questions, didn't appear in the video to spoil the mood. However, anyone who had seen their videos before would probably recognize whose voice it was.
After all, Qiao Ran has appeared quite a few times.
By raising
After spending some time asking and answering questions on the water, we still had to get down to business. In preparation for tonight's live stream, Altaria had also learned some songs from this world. While interacting with the comments, she also "selected" a few songs to sing under the "direction" of the comments.
Although these are all well-known songs in the world, Altaria's interpretation creates a completely different feeling. Songs and dances are the most primal expressions of emotion, and in human primitive culture, they are deeply bound to courtship and Ritual. However, when Altaria Pokémon, speaks, it creates a completely different artistic conception.
"Wow, that's amazing..."
"Yes..."
The girls watching the live stream in the room couldn't help but sigh. Although they had already experienced Altaria's singing level at the karaoke bar that night, hearing it again now still gave them a different feeling.
The reason Altaria has received so much attention is probably not just because of its own quality and skill level, but also because it is originally Pokémon.
Her singing, and only she can do it, no other human singer can Mimic the soul within it.
As time went on, the number of viewers in the live stream increased, recently approaching 300,000. No one expected that this account, which had not appeared online just a few months ago, would Harvest so much attention in such a short time. Moreover, its popularity should increase significantly after tonight's live stream.
"After this song, it's the last segment. Remember to say something to conclude."
Seeing Qiao Ran standing to the side, frantically pointing at the whiteboard in his hand, Altaria couldn't help but smile.
In order not to disturb her singing, Qiao Ran did not use his usual methods of communication. After all, Sing was an unfamiliar area for him, and it would be bad if he disturbed her.
--This was Altaria's first live stream, and also the first time so many people were watching at the same time, so Qiao Ran was quite cautious.
He certainly didn't want the Altaria to underperform because of his own actions.
"It's almost over, so I'll sing a song that everyone's been waiting for. Oh, and the video version of this song will also be posted on this account tonight, so remember to follow it!"
"And what about your upcoming live streams?"
"Um... I'll also keep track of my live stream schedule on this account. I'll let everyone know when I have time."
Under Qiao Ran's direction from the sidelines, Altaria finally went through everything in detail. As the person in charge, she sometimes really forgot some of the details.
This feeling... is quite similar to being on the field.
The Altaria couldn't help but think of it.
After this series of routine remarks, the highlight of the evening finally arrived: she would sing the incredibly stunning song "Together" with accompaniment.
Please enjoy it!
As the other sounds gradually subsided, the long-awaited accompaniment to "Together" finally began to play. In order to achieve a similar effect to the song from the Pokémon World, Qiao Ran had basically made all his requests. Although the final product was slightly different from what he wanted, it no longer mattered.
The important thing is that this song has truly appeared in this world—as part of a journey across two worlds, becoming a classic melody in the hearts of people in this world.
It holds extraordinary significance not only for Qiao Ran himself, but also for Lillie, Mei, Mei, and Acerola.
Moreover, a song presents completely different feelings when it has accompaniment and when it doesn't have a half-axis; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are two completely different songs.
"Is this really that interesting?"
"Um."
In the dimly lit Western-style Mansion, Cynthia lay on the sofa, and behind her stood a short little girl.
Both of them were staring at the tablet in Cynthia's hand, which was playing a live stream of Altaria.
As the familiar melody gradually filled her ears, Cynthia couldn't help but close her eyes slightly.
"This is a song from my hometown."
"Oh... songs from other worlds?"
Hearing Cynthia's answer, Phoebe seemed to become interested as well. She was also curious to know what this song from the Pokémon World would be like.
Perhaps, it really is quite different from the things in this world.
With Last Resort Steadfast
Let's cross the towering Mt. Coronet!
Who will I capture next? Where will we meet?
This feeling of excitement is like being in Secret Base...
When a person is alone far from home and hears the sounds of their hometown, they are filled with countless thoughts, let alone when that distance transcends time and space and reaches another dimension.
"..."
Sabrina sat alone in the living room, watching the live stream on TV.
On the broadcast, her Pokémon were watching quietly beside her. Like her, the Pokémon shared the same thoughts, and hearing these things always stirred certain emotions within them.
"... After this live stream is over... I guess some people, no matter how much they don't want to attract attention, will have to come out on their own."
Sabrina muttered to herself, speculating that this world must still harbor many people from the Pokémon World, who might be concealing their identities for some reason and being extremely cautious. Of course—these were just her wishful thinking. Perhaps, like the amnesiac Nurse Joy and the amnesiac former International Police and Battle Tower Master that Qiao Ran encountered on his travels, the loss of memory was the reason they didn't actively seek contact.
But in any case, anyone in the Pokémon World will surely be moved by this song, and even those who are not Trainer in the Sinnoh Region will feel nostalgic for the landmark "Mt. Coronet".
This is not only the starting point of the Sinnoh Region, but also the starting point of the Pokémon World, the source of everything, their root.
Nestled among towering mountains, a dark-skinned man, who appeared to be in his forties, held his phone, which was playing a video intermittently, with tears welling up in his eyes.
"Mt. Coronet..."
Even a poor signal couldn't stop his thoughts. The reason he was now searching for the Ruins so diligently was not only because of his personal affection for that Sinnoh Champion, but also because he wanted to return to his original world.
His life can never be restored, but at least his efforts can bring about some small change in the fate of those still in this world.
Even on a very, very long Pokémon Journeys
Just thinking about the countless battles
Traveling through time
We will meet
Everyone's bright faces
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!!
Songs are a vehicle for expressing emotions. No matter what kind of emotion it is, it can be reflected in songs.
When Pokémon, Altaria, sang this song from the Pokémon World with a complete accompaniment, the song finally revealed its full charm, and its power to move people was so great that Qiao Ran, who was watching at the scene, was taken aback.
He became completely absorbed in it.
Looking back on his journey of learning about the Pokémon World, longing for Pokémon World, and finally being able to come here and adventure in this world, his experience is probably quite different from that of Mei, Mei are native inhabitants.
However, he couldn't help but smile, his eyes welling up with tears.
Looking at the faces of the other girls, quite a few were moved to tears, but they didn't make a sound, afraid of disturbing the Altaria's performance and disrupting the live stream.
Unlike the audience, they must have had different insights and thoughts.
"It's a really nice song."
"I think it would be perfect as the opening theme for the Pokémon League tournament!"
"Opening music... you were a genius!"
"Qiqi! Qiqi! Qiqi!"
Various comments floated across the live stream, and the viewers also really liked the song. However, in their ears, the song might not have been imbued with any additional emotions, but their feelings of liking it still reached the hearts of Qiao Ran and Altaria.
As long as everyone likes it, that's enough.
As for anything else, I believe that with the passage of time, it will surely come to fruition.
Use a jet of water to knock it away.
A gloomy mood can be dispelled by Defog.
Climbing the Rock-type to see what's above
GOOD GOOD SMILE!!
Everyone is GOOD GOOD SMILE!!
As the song "The Altaria" sang, it finally came to an end. The moment she opened her eyes again, she saw a screen full of comments and heard applause coming from her ears.
The people in the live stream couldn't do much, so they could only vent their excitement through the barrage of comments. Qiao Ran and the others also clapped uncontrollably.
At the very least, the Altaria, which put on such a beautiful performance, deserves this applause.
One of her songs inspired countless people, people with diverse emotions and backgrounds, to dream different dreams.
"One more time! One more time!"
"That's awesome... Did anyone record the video of what just happened?"
