• Ye Yinchuan shared Pokémon Food with Exploud, Noivern, and their young, and explained Noivern's abilities and diet to his viewers.
• Exploud and Noivern gestured for Ye Yinchuan to follow them, and he happily agreed.

Ye Yinchuan followed Exploud and Noivern to a massive Sound-Pattern Tree, which opened into a hidden realm filled with rare Pokémon and Advanced Grade Berries. As the realm’s Pokémon welcomed the group, a mysterious master began to sing, leaving Ye Yinchuan wondering who—or what—ruled the place.

• Exploud and Noivern led Ye Yinchuan and his Pokémon through the valley, where the group encountered an enormous tree covered in sound-wave patterns.
• Exploud and Noivern used special sounds to reveal a portal in the tree, and Ye Yinchuan followed them inside with his Pokémon.
• Ye Yinchuan discovered a hidden realm filled with unusual Advanced Grade Berries and Pokémon, including Jigglypuff, Kricketune, and Tranquill.
• The realm’s Pokémon gathered around Exploud and welcomed the visitors, while a Loudred approached Exploud tenderly.
• Exploud, Noivern, and the other Pokémon called for the realm’s master, and a beautiful song sounded as Ye Yinchuan waited to meet its singer.

Ye Yinchuan met Milotic, a melody-themed Mirage Pokémon whose singing affected the emotions of everyone nearby, and learned that its true power could awaken through the move Ancient Song. Milotic welcomed Ye Yinchuan and his Pokémon with Sound-Pattern Berries, which helped some of them learn sound-based moves, while Ye Yinchuan continued exploring and explaining Milotic to his viewers.

• Milotic emerged as its singing opened a path through the plants, and Ye Yinchuan identified it as the Mirage Pokémon representing melody.
• Ye Yinchuan used Appraisal Eye to learn that Milotic was Level 49 and could unlock its true power and Dance Form by learning Ancient Song.
• Milotic offered Ye Yinchuan a Sound-Pattern Berry and invited his Pokémon to eat from the secret realm's supply.
• Ye Yinchuan discovered that Sound-Pattern Berries and Sound-Pattern Leaves would quickly wither outside the realm, but his Pokémon gained new sound-based moves, including Uproar for Snorlax and Captivating Voice for Milotic.
• Ye Yinchuan let his Pokémon play nearby and told viewers that Milotic used melody to influence emotions, while remaining kind and protective.

Ye Yinchuan learned that Milotic had forgotten the Ancient Song needed to assume its powerful Dance Form, then helped it recover the melody using sheet music found by a Huaxia archaeological team. After Milotic transformed and danced, it kissed Ye Yinchuan, leaving a mysterious musical note on his cheek.

• Ye Yinchuan explained that he wanted to catch Milotic but would not force it to leave its home, and he described its Serene Grace Ability and two forms.
• Milotic asked Ye Yinchuan for help remembering Ancient Song, which it needed to access its Dance Form.
• Xiao Lingzhi of the Millennium Archaeology team connected with Ye Yinchuan and showed him a mural they suspected contained Ancient Song's sheet music.
• Milotic recognized the music on the mural, hummed it, and transformed into Dance Form before performing a swift, powerful dance.
• Milotic returned to Song Form, sang to Ye Yinchuan, kissed his cheek, and caused a pale-green musical note to emerge there.

After receiving Milotic’s blessing, Ye Yinchuan discovered it enhanced his singing and dancing and secretly granted him powerful abilities. As he ended his exploration for the day, he spotted Mewtwo flying across the sky and prepared to share what he had identified with his viewers.

• Ye Yinchuan explained that Milotic’s blessing let him sing and dance beautifully, while secretly revealing that his voice could stir emotions and its battle dance strengthened him for combat.
• Ye Yinchuan learned that Milotic’s Note Mark could let him enter the Sound Pattern Secret Realm without Exploud or Noivern.
• The Millennium Archaeology team promoted Xiao Lingzhi and assigned her to coordinate with Ye Yinchuan after his discovery of Milotic.
• Dr. Li Xuecheng heard about Ye Yinchuan’s encounter with Milotic and privately recalled Celebi and Miraidon.
• Ye Yinchuan spotted a wingless Pokémon flying through the darkening sky and recognized it as Mewtwo, though he told viewers he did not know it and offered to share what he had identified.

Ye Yinchuan ended his livestream after discussing a mysterious, powerful Psychic-type Pokémon he recognized as Mewtwo, then reported his discoveries in the Wild Area and enjoyed dinner with his Pokémon. The next day, he returned to the newly named Copperajah Valley and found a group of Turtwig and Grotle showing signs of illness and avoiding the lake water.

• Ye Yinchuan told his viewers that the fast-flying Pokémon was likely a powerful Psychic-type and pointed out the tube running from its back to its neck, while withholding what he knew about Mewtwo's origins and escape.
• Ye Yinchuan explained that the Sound-Pattern Berries had withered after leaving the secret realm, ended the stream, and noted his growing audience and income.
• Ye Yinchuan reported the unexplored area and Cufant herd to the Wild Area ranger, who praised the discovery and promised a reward.
• Ye Yinchuan ate at a Cantonese restaurant with his Pokémon, then returned the next day and named the area Copperajah Valley.
• Ye Yinchuan found Turtwig and Grotle gathered by the lake, where most appeared listless and resisted drinking the water.

Ye Yinchuan discovered that heavy-metal pollution in a lake was making the Turtwig colony dangerously ill, and that a severely contaminated Grotle was purifying water for its kin at the cost of its own life. After Milotic temporarily stabilized the Grotle, Ye sent Milotic and Lairon to find the pollution source, and they returned having located it.

• Ye Yinchuan identified the lake's metallic water as heavy-metal pollution and saw that it had left the Turtwig and Grotle dehydrated and sick.
• A severely polluted Grotle drank from the lake, then released purified spring water from its shell for the colony, nearly collapsing as a result.
• Ye Yinchuan used Milotic's Life Dew to stabilize the Grotle and learned that its repeated use of Rest was slowly prolonging its life.
• Ye sent Milotic and Lairon to locate the pollution source while the Grotle's child offered him a sour Berry, which he ate to comfort it.
• Milotic and Lairon returned about twenty minutes later, and Ye Yinchuan learned that they had found the source of the heavy metals.

Ye Yinchuan and his Pokémon investigated the lake’s heavy-metal pollution and discovered an underwater Water Mithril mine guarded by a mutated Wormadam with the top-tier Mithril Body trait. After struggling to overcome the defender, Ye Yinchuan planned one combined attack from Milotic and Lairon, with retreat as their fallback.

• Milotic showed Ye Yinchuan that a long Pokémon had broken rocks underwater, and he decided to investigate whether it was an outsider or a native of the lake.
• Milotic enclosed Ye Yinchuan and Lairon in a water bubble and carried them to a damaged underwater mine where Water Mithril was leaking into the lake.
• A long, silver-coated Wormadam attacked Milotic, and Ye Yinchuan identified its Mithril Body trait, which granted it poison immunity and strong resistances.
• Wormadam used Muddy Water, and Ye Yinchuan told Milotic to rely on powerful direct attacks rather than status effects.
• Ye Yinchuan concluded that neither Milotic nor Lairon could defeat Wormadam alone and planned to combine their strength for one attempt before retreating.

Ye Yinchuan and his Pokémon defeated Wormadam with a combination attack, then Lairon ate most of the Water Mithril ore and gained the Mithril Body Trait. After the lake began clearing and Miraidon grew, Ye Yinchuan found Grotle starting to evolve in a violent, potentially berserk state.

• Ye Yinchuan guided Milotic and Lairon into combining Milotic’s Water Spout with Lairon’s reinforced charge, injuring Wormadam and driving it away.
• Ye Yinchuan praised Milotic and Lairon, then brought them ashore so Lairon could breathe before returning to the mine.
• Lairon devoured most of the Water Mithril ore over the next few days, gained the Mithril Body Trait, and learned Muddy Water, while Wormadam cautiously ate what remained.
• Ye Yinchuan noticed the lake had become clearer and saw that Miraidon had grown to the size of a small colt.
• Ye Yinchuan rushed toward a gathering of Turtwig and Grotle after hearing a growl, then saw Grotle begin evolving amid violent energy and realized it was about to go berserk.

Grotle evolved into a metal-armored Torterra and rampaged until Ye Yinchuan and his Pokémon subdued it, though its Heavy Metal Pollution remained a danger. As Ye Yinchuan rested with the forest Pokémon, Grass Team members Kumu and Poison Point ambushed him and demanded Miraidon, forcing him to prepare his trump card.

• Grotle evolved into a ferocious Torterra whose Heavy Metal Pollution drove it to attack its own child and devastate the forest with Earthquake.
• Ye Yinchuan and his Pokémon fought to restrain Torterra without killing it, and Milotic’s song and Life Dew helped calm and treat it.
• Ye Yinchuan determined that Torterra might recover if it avoided further contaminated water, while the exhausted group rested and received food from the Turtwig and Grotle.
• Kumu and Poison Point of the Grass Team sent a hypnotized Turtwig carrying a Paralyzing Bouquet toward Ye Yinchuan, and its burst pollen paralyzed Incineroar and nearby Pokémon.
• Kumu and Poison Point surrounded Ye Yinchuan with five powerful Pokémon, revealed their plan to seize Miraidon, and demanded that he surrender it.
• Ye Yinchuan refused and prepared to use Overlord’s Shadow as his Pokémon formed a protective line around him.

Ye Yinchuan used Overlord's Shadow to turn Team Grass's attack against them, then called nearby Pokémon to help capture Kumu and Poison Point. After Long Feiteng arrived to take custody of the criminals, Celebi suddenly appeared through a portal.

• Ye Yinchuan summoned five Overlord's Shadows, which overwhelmed Team Grass's Pokémon, while Sableye struck Kumu and Poison Point with an illusion and Ye Yinchuan fled.
• Kumu and Poison Point recovered, broke the shadows' assault through teamwork, and caught up with Ye Yinchuan, who refused Kumu's offer to join Team Grass.
• Ye Yinchuan had Cottonee call for Pokémon, and Copperajah, Torterra, Milotic, and others arrived to surround Team Grass and turn the fight around.
• Long Feiteng rode Garchomp to Ye Yinchuan's location, found Team Grass already subdued, and handcuffed Kumu and Poison Point as the Pokémon Center personnel arrived.
• A portal opened above the group, and Celebi emerged.

Celebi blessed Ye Yinchuan with enhanced sight and restored the damaged forest before leaving. Kumu revealed why he wanted to travel back in time, and Ye Yinchuan warned him that changing the past could endanger others; Poison Point then explained his own reason for joining Kumu.

• Celebi recognized Miraidon’s potential, hinted that it would help face a future crisis, and gave Ye Yinchuan a blessing that sharpened his vision and let him glimpse what plants had recently witnessed.
• Celebi healed the forest, Pokémon, and lake, purified Torterra’s heavy-metal pollution, and then vanished; Milotic showed jealousy over the blessing.
• Kumu asked whether Celebi had granted Ye Yinchuan time travel and confessed that he wanted to return to the past to save his brother, who had been buried alive after reporting an illegal logging group.
• Ye Yinchuan said his blessing did not allow time travel and warned Kumu that changing the past could cause disaster and destroy other people’s lives; Kumu fell silent as Long Feiteng urged him to focus on the present.
• Poison Point said he had joined Kumu to try to save the Sprigatito he had once modified unsuccessfully, and admitted he would attempt the experiment again if given another chance.

Ye Yinchuan answered the Pokémon Center consultants’ questions about Roserade and explained how Sun Stones and Shiny Stones affected its evolution. He then identified Phantump but left the mystery of the human skeleton inside it for its Trainer, Kumu, to explain.

• Long Feiteng asked Ye Yinchuan to help the Pokémon Center identify and assess Pokémon taken from the evil organization, and Ye agreed to connect through his Live Stream Chat.
• Consultant Gong challenged Ye’s knowledge of Roserade, but Ye accurately described its types, evolution line, poisonous flowers, fragrance, and sex differences.
• Old Consultant Liu apologized for Consultant Gong and asked Ye about Roserade’s evolution requirements, so Ye explained Budew’s daytime evolution into Roselia and Roselia’s need for a Shiny Stone to evolve into Roserade.
• Ye explained that Sun Stones could help Roselia evolve into Roserade but were less effective than Shiny Stones, and that prolonged exposure to light could also help.
• Old Consultant Liu asked about the Grass- and Ghost-type Phantump and the human skeleton inside it, and Ye said Kumu would have to explain the mystery.

Ye Yinchuan explained Phantump’s connection to Kumu’s dead younger brother, persuading Kumu to cooperate with the investigation and ask to keep Phantump. He then shared information about Tangrowth and Ferrothorn, leaving the Pokémon Center’s consultants with valuable details about their evolution, habitats, and care.

• Long Feiteng questioned Kumu about the skeleton inside Phantump, and Kumu revealed it belonged to his younger brother, who had been buried alive by illegal loggers.
• Ye Yinchuan used Phantump’s Lost Soul Trait and its lore to explain how it might have absorbed Kumu’s brother’s soul and become close to him.
• Long Feiteng urged Kumu to consider what his brother would think of his crimes, and Kumu asked to keep Phantump if he cooperated with the investigation.
• Ye Yinchuan explained that Phantump protected forests and that Kumu’s brother may have been accepted because he fought illegal logging; Old Consultant Liu then asked him about the vine-covered Pokémon.
• Ye Yinchuan identified the vine-covered Pokémon as Tangrowth, described its evolution and habitat, and explained its fast-growing vines and care requirements.
• Ye Yinchuan explained that Ferroseed needed mineral-rich rock walls and substantial resources to evolve into Ferrothorn, which had few weaknesses apart from Fire and some vulnerability to Fighting.

After helping the Pokémon Center investigate Ferrothorn and defeat Grass Team criminals, Ye Yinchuan enjoyed dinner with his Pokémon and arranged another date with Bai Zhi. The next day, he stayed out of the Wild Area and streamed advice about a proud Piplup and an unusually kind Crawdaunt.

• Ye Yinchuan explained Ferrothorn and the nonabsolute nature of Pokémon Type matchups before ending his stream, while the consultants praised his expertise.
• Long Feiteng told Ye Yinchuan that the bounties and mission reward would be transferred to him within seven business days.
• Ye Yinchuan took his hungry Pokémon to a xiaolongbao shop, where he overheard a couple argue over tofu fillings and later enjoyed dinner with his Pokémon.
• Ye Yinchuan asked Bai Zhi about the couple's argument, agreed with her criticism of using anger as a threat, and suggested they go on another date.
• The next day, Ye Yinchuan streamed from home and advised a viewer to protect their proud Piplup's dignity by letting it find food around the house.
• Ye Yinchuan told another viewer that their Crawdaunt's inability to learn Dark-type moves might come from its kind nature, and suggested focusing on Water-type moves instead.

Ye Yinchuan investigated a lean Pidgey at Fat Bobo Farm and discovered it was hiding its flying ability. The Pidgey escaped, but the farm planned to tighten security, making future escapes even harder.

• Ye Yinchuan connected with a worker at Fat Bobo Farm and learned the farm raised plump Pidgey as pets.
• Ye Yinchuan examined the unusually lean Pidgey and found no sign of illness, while the worker explained that it ate less and liked to flap its wings.
• Ye Yinchuan noticed the Pidgey's status read "Hiding Clumsiness" as it struggled to fly only a few meters.
• The Pidgey suddenly flew over the fence at high speed and escaped toward the horizon.
• The worker decided to report the escape to the farm owner and add another layer of aerial netting.

Ye Yinchuan appraised a gigantic, mutated Chatot in Japan and warned that it was heading toward a research base. Dr. Jinggeng recognized the Pokémon as Shira, his daughter’s missing Chatot, but how it had changed remained unknown.

• Ye Yinchuan accepted a connection request from Meichuan Neiyi, a Japan Pokémon Center agent seeking help identifying a destructive giant bird Pokémon.
• After examining footage, Ye Yinchuan suspected the bird might be a mutated Chatot, and Meichuan Neiyi connected him to its live appearance.
• Appraisal Eye identified the Pokémon as a Level 70 Chatot polluted by Zelda gas, enraged and seeking revenge.
• Ye Yinchuan learned that the Chatot was flying toward a research base studying Zelda gas and urged Meichuan Neiyi to warn its occupants.
• Dr. Jinggeng recognized the giant Chatot as Shira, the Shiny Pokémon his daughter had raised.

Dr. Jinggeng revealed how his Zelda Gas research caused his daughter’s death and transformed Shira, while Ye Yinchuan realized Shira was trying to stop the gas rather than harm anyone. As Japan’s forces attacked Shira, Ye proposed that Clear Smog might neutralize the Zelda Gas, and Dr. Jinggeng and his researchers prepared to approach Shira with it.

• Dr. Jinggeng recalled his daughter’s bond with Shira and confessed that a Zelda Gas sample he brought home exploded, killing her and changing Shira.
• Meichuan Neiyi explained that Dr. Jinggeng continued his research to find a safe way to destroy Zelda Gas, as Japanese forces mobilized to stop Shira.
• Japanese Pokémon and military forces attacked Shira, but Ye Yinchuan heard that Shira wanted to remove the Zelda Gas and was trying not to hurt anyone.
• Shira protected a damaged fighter jet, confirming Ye’s belief that he was not hostile, even as the combat command continued its attacks.
• Ye suggested Shira could use Clear Smog to clear the fog-like Zelda Gas, and Dr. Jinggeng proposed bringing the gas to Shira himself.
• Dr. Jinggeng’s researchers and their Pokémon volunteered to accompany him and stand beside Shira.

Ho-Oh appeared as Shira neared death, extended Shira’s life, and let it choose whether to leave or destroy the Zelda Gas. Shira purified the gas and faded away with Dr. Jinggeng and his daughter Mami, leaving behind a radiant egg and a blue gemstone.

• Ho-Oh descended in rainbow flames, revived Shira, and offered it the choice to abandon its mission or purify the Zelda Gas at the cost of its life.
• Ho-Oh chose Ye Yinchuan as the one watched by all, allowing him to hear and convey its message to the viewers.
• Ye Yinchuan revealed that Shira had endured decades of pain to repay the kindness of Mami, Dr. Jinggeng’s daughter, who had saved it during the Zelda Gas explosion.
• Shira rejected Ho-Oh’s offer of protection and used Clear Smog to absorb and purify the Zelda Gas, while Dr. Jinggeng begged it to stop and later collapsed.
• As Shira’s life faded, Ho-Oh sent Dr. Jinggeng into the rainbow flames, where he reunited with Mami and Shira; a golden, rainbow-lit egg and a blue gemstone remained behind.

After Ho-Oh appeared, Ye Yinchuan explained that the golden Egg was born from Shira, Dr. Jinggeng, and Mami’s spiritual resonance, while Ho-Oh intended to take it away and give the Sheila Rainbow Stone to him. Ho-Oh left Japan with the Egg and sent the gemstone toward Huaxia, making Ye Yinchuan an internationally famous spokesperson whose new status immediately brought trouble.

• Ye Yinchuan explained the origins of the golden Egg and blue gemstone, while Japanese officials and Trainers began competing to claim them.
• Trainers fought one another as they tried to seize the treasures, and Ho-Oh judged their greed while Ye Yinchuan urged Meichuan Neiyi to stop them.
• Ye Yinchuan told Meichuan Neiyi that Ho-Oh would take the Egg and give him the Sheila Rainbow Stone, prompting Japan’s officials to debate whether to intervene.
• Ho-Oh swallowed the golden Egg, sent the Sheila Rainbow Stone toward Huaxia on a Seven-Colored Feather, and departed as the gathered people watched.
• News of Ye Yinchuan’s connection with Ho-Oh spread, his followers and fame surged, and he ended the stream before receiving a call from the Pokémon Center.
