When Professor Oak appeared, the entire live stream exploded.
There's no way around it; as the most authoritative figure in academia and the only PhD to have won a competition, Professor Oak's popularity is simply too high.
In the live stream, the most valuable Present in the gift section— Charizard's Flamethrower, Blastoise's Hydro Pump, and Venusaur's Solar Beam— never stopped after Professor Oak appeared.
Roy thought Professor Oak could just switch careers and become a streamer.
That being said, this is already the third regional expert they've seen in Roy's livestream, right?
First it was Professor Birch in the Hoenn, then Professor Rowan in the Sinnoh Region, and now Professor Oak in the Kanto Region.
Roy's network is incredible. It means that if they follow Roy, they might be able to watch a live stream by a regional PhD at any time?
Professor Oak was already used to the camera and lights that Roy had just set up in front of him. He had previously written teaching materials for the Kanto and Johto League and filmed educational videos introducing various common Pokémon.
Even now, many Trainer School still use his older version of the materials in their courses.
So even though this was his first time doing a live stream, he felt familiar with the live stream room, just like when he filmed science videos before.
Roy quickly adjusted the camera lens, helped Professor Oak find his seat, and then began to create atmosphere in front of the screen.
"Everyone, ask your questions now! Professor Oak is usually very busy, so this is a limited-time opportunity!!!"
As soon as Roy spoke, a series of questions were typed in the chat, most of which were about the evolution of the Pokémon Annihilape.
When asked about the evolution of the Annihilape on the public chat, Professor Oak calmly stated that it is currently in the research stage and the research report will be released in a while. Everyone can follow up on this information at that time.
Roy stared blankly at Professor Oak, who hadn't even started researching anything yet, never expecting the other to be even more outspoken than him.
Moreover, Professor Oak's calm and unashamed demeanor made it seem as if the research had progressed to the final stage and was just waiting to be announced.
With an official and authoritative answer from someone like Professor Oak, the viewers in the live stream gave up any further questions they might have.
Roy watched as the barrage of comments about the Bond Evolution Annihilape and Misdreavus dwindled from filling the entire screen to just a handful.
It's fair to say that a single sentence from an industry expert like Professor Oak is far more effective than a month of explanations on his own livestream.
Professor Oak took out the materials he had prepared earlier and began explaining today's lesson on Ghost type Pokémon.
Although Professor Birch and Professor Rowan have already explained Ghost type Pokémon in their live streams, each region's professors have different focuses.
Professor Oak explained the entire subject of Ghost type, including type advantages and disadvantages, the habitat of Ghost type Pokémon, etc.
"So don't be too afraid of Ghost type Pokémon. Sometimes they want to scare you, but it's just for survival."
Of course, don't deliberately approach Ghost type Pokémon, or you might get your life force drained and blame it on me.
Professor Oak's explanation was much more interesting than Professor Rowan's. While everyone in the live stream was listening attentively to Professor Oak's explanation...
A large purple ghost face appeared... pasted on the screen of the live stream.
Iono, who had just finished her broadcast, also entered Roy's live stream. Just as she was about to send Roy a Present, she saw a large, chubby purple face with green tattoos staring at her with scarlet eyes. She was so frightened that she threw her Communicator away.
Fortunately, the Misdreavus beside him reacted quickly and used its Confusion to catch the Communicator second before it hit the ground; otherwise, Iono would have had to spend money to buy another Communicator.
The Misdreavus used its Confusion to control the Communicator, returning it to the Iono's hand.
"Thank you, Misdreavus."
"Dream!"
The Misdreavus she tamed was a bit mischievous, but it was still very obedient to her, thanks in large part to the Pokéblock Roy had given her.
As long as you take out the Pokéblock, the mischievous Misdreavus will instantly turn into a well-behaved baby.
The Ancient Gengar stared at the camera with its red eyes, curiously looking at the reflective lens placed in front of Professor Oak.
As a result, he only saw his own reflection in the lens. He couldn't resist his curiosity, including when he hid in Roy's shadow and discovered that Roy was holding a small square box, which the Annihilape also had.
The Ancient Gengar had absolutely no idea what this was.
He only saw moving Pokémon and even humans inside. Could they be sealed away like he had been before?
Just as the Ancient Gengar was about to examine the camera closely, Roy shoved the Ancient Gengar aside, rearranged the camera, and adjusted the live stream to focus on himself.
"Sorry, everyone, my Pokémon being a bit naughty. The streamer has already given him a little whip, Smith Masai!!!"
Two minutes later, the comments reappeared on the public chat.
"That scared me to death!!!! What was that thing just now?"
"Hey streamer, you owe me my new Communicator!"
"Could the anchor please let us know in advance if there are any scary scenes like this in the future? I was listening intently!"
"By the way, was the Pokémon the streamer was using just now Gengar? Why did it have some green dye on its face?"
The live stream ended due to the disruptive intrusion of the Ancient Gengar. Since continuing the stream would only remind everyone of what had just happened, Roy simply ended it early.
Professor Oak's livestream helped Roy gain approximately 990,000 Popularity Points, which is more than Professor Birch and Professor Rowan combined.
After Professor Oak returned to his lab, Roy looked at the Ancient Gengar poking its paws behind him.
Even though the Ancient Gengar 3000 years old, why Gengar it so immature?
I still like playing pranks and scaring people.
I really should give you a good whipping.
"Ghost~~"
The Ancient Gengar knew it had just caused Roy trouble, and lowered its head, waiting for Roy's criticism.
Sorry?
Roy was surprised that the big, fat man in purple would apologize to him.
Seeing that the other person already seemed to have admitted their mistake, Roy swallowed back what he was about to say.
There's nothing I can do; it's my own Pokémon, after all.
Roy naturally chose to forgive, patting the fat man with the purple tattoo on the belly as punishment.
However, it's understandable Ancient Gengar like this; it probably didn't intend to scare people, but was simply curious.
The other person seemed like someone from ancient times who had traveled to the modern era, filled with curiosity about everything modern.
Including in the afternoon, he thoroughly examined all the electronic devices, furniture, and appliances inside the Palossand.
It's also his fault for not explaining things clearly to the Ancient Gengar beforehand, which resulted in the Gengar lacking a basic understanding of modern society.
Furthermore, due to its short time in the team, the only Ancient Gengar that has a good relationship with its team is Dusclops, because both of them like to eat and can eat.
What can Dusclops, who only knows how to eat, teach Ancient Gengar?
I still have to do it myself.
Roy first explained to the Ancient Gengar what the Communicator was.
The Ancient Gengar then realized that the small box didn't actually contain any Pokémon or humans, but rather something resembling a scene.
Is modern society really that amazing?
