Pokemon: Cheat System

Kai had already thought everything through.

Once they arrived at the destination, he and Caterpie would set up camp between the dangerous and safe zones. If they could handle the wild Pokémon, they'd fight; if not, they'd run.

The area he chose was frequented by wild Pokémon, but their danger level wasn't too high, making it perfect for Caterpie to dominate.

Kai just needed to stay in the safe zone and give commands.

Besides, Kai had been working out—he was tough!

It might have been his imagination, but since the system awakened, Kai felt that his daily workouts were having an increasingly positive effect on his body.

At the very least, he wasn't afraid of Caterpie's 'String Shot' anymore.

The silk threads that could easily wrap an adult into a cocoon were just a few ropes that Kai could break free from with a bit of effort.

Kai still remembered the look on Caterpie's face a few days ago when he tore apart the web it had spun as a carrier for its electric net—before it was even electrified. Caterpie looked like it wanted to bang its head against a wall.

The purity was too high.

This was the epitome of a super Dayan person.

As for the livestreaming equipment he used back then... that wasn't an issue.

Everyone knew that one of the key factors limiting the development of outdoor livestreaming was the equipment.

Most livestreaming gear was bulky and not portable, only capable of capturing a small portion of the scene in static shots.

Especially for Trainers exploring the wild, carrying such a heavy device while livestreaming in areas with wild Pokémon not only produced poor results but also constantly affected the Trainer's movement and focus... It was undoubtedly a death wish.

The problem was that the most popular livestreaming content in this world was Pokémon, and Trainers' outdoor adventures were a topic loved by all, regardless of age or gender. This type of content was especially popular among viewers who wanted to become Trainers but couldn't due to various reasons.

Experiencing the life of a Trainer vicariously wasn't a bad deal for them.

As the saying goes, where there's demand, there's a market.

Legend has it that Silph Co., the company that once created the 'Master Ball,' developed a special livestreaming drone to fill this niche in the livestreaming world.

This device was compact and easy to carry, with powerful motors, a high-definition camera, and a satellite network system. Its battery life was long, allowing it to follow the user with a sensor for synchronized video capture and professional livestreaming... It was a true piece of black technology.

The only downside was that it was too expensive.

Moreover, the target audience for this product was a bit peculiar.

Generally, Trainers who weren't strong enough wouldn't have the leisure to go into the wild to livestream.

Regular streamers wandering around the wild were just asking for trouble...

Trainers strong enough to roam the wild freely wouldn't be generous enough to broadcast their training content online for others to watch.

So, aside from some professional streamers who were also veteran Trainers, not many people chose to buy and use such a livestreaming drone.

As a result, the originally high price had dropped significantly...

Otherwise, Kai wouldn't have been able to afford one.

"Playing with my life? That's exactly how I make a living!"—Those were Kai's words when he bought the livestreaming drone during a discount promotion.

To this day, Kai still felt his heart bleed when he looked at the bill for the drone.

But it didn't matter—Caterpie would take care of it!

Today, this thing wouldn't just sit around collecting dust.

Once they reached the training area, he'd start the livestream, farm some wild Pokémon, and the money would roll in.

This was a livestream of farming wild Pokémon with just a Caterpie—the entertainment value would be explosive!

"Hmm, I hope no brain-dead viewers actually try to imitate me by taking a real Caterpie into the wild to farm Pokémon..."

Kai silently prayed that his livestream wouldn't lead to any bad influences.

Then, he edited a message to announce his livestream: [Caterpie's Spring: One Trainer, One Pokémon, Violent Outdoor Training, Exploring 'Ancient Sword Mountain,' Keeping It Real!]

...

Kanto Region, Cerulean City.

"Ding!"

Misty picked up her phone and looked at the screen displaying the livestream announcement. She couldn't help but show a puzzled expression. "Outdoor training?"

As the Gym Leader of Cerulean City in the Kanto Region, a powerful Trainer and idol whose fame might rank among the top in the world, Misty naturally couldn't help but be interested in Kai, the streamer who had effortlessly swept through her entire team.

After all, this was the Trainer Red was following.

Not just Misty, but many powerful Trainers in the Kanto and Johto regions had watched some of Kai's videos under Red's influence.

This was the power of Red's influence—arguably the strongest boost Kai had received so far... and possibly one he would never surpass.

Although she was amazed by the flawless looks of this handsome young streamer, Misty had noticed quite a few things—her logic was similar to Red's.

Based on the fact that most Trainers in this world needed sufficient practical experience to gain solid tactical knowledge and engage in online battles, Misty, paired with her almost suffocating online battle experience against Kai, had almost immediately concluded that this young man was a powerful Trainer far beyond her level.

At least Elite Four level—that was Misty's assessment after comparing her own strength.

As for her crushing defeat, Misty accepted it wholeheartedly...

"Alright, I'll look forward to your livestream."

With a curious expression, Misty clicked "Reserve" on Kai's livestream announcement and also shared the link in a group chat with some well-known Trainers.

Cerulean Mermaid: "Everyone, check this out. That streamer from the Dayan Region is going to livestream outdoor training."

Red: "...I saw it too."

Single Fan of Miss Walnut: "Oh my god, Red actually spoke!"

Child of Viridian: "Red isn't mute, of course he can talk..."

Dragon Master: "I remember this streamer—the young guy Red's following. It's interesting that he's willing to livestream something as thankless as outdoor training."

Single Fan of Miss Walnut: "I remember this Trainer swept through Misty's entire team last night, haha, a perfect zero-to-death."

Cerulean Mermaid: "?"

Cerulean Mermaid: "Kid, don't let me see you in Cerulean City!"

Graceful Water Artist: "Dayan Region?"

Rare Gem Purchases, Contact Devon Corp: "Wallace, this isn't the time to slack off. You still have a lot of work to do!"
