After calming down, Lu Ye went online to collect relevant information.
First, he needed to figure out what this world had become.
Due to worldline convergence, Lu Ye's world and the Pokémon world had merged into one.
But it seemed only Lu Ye realised this.
Even history textbooks had changed.
According to the appearance of Pokémon, it could be roughly divided into ancient times, Middle Ages, the Modern Era, and Contemporary Times.
In ancient times, Mew's numbers gradually decreased, and the oldest prehistoric Pokémon were born.
In the Middle Ages, a meteorite fell on the Hoenn region, triggering the awakening of super-ancient Pokémon, which were finally calmed by Rayquaza.
In modern times, Professor Nishino of Celadon University invented the Poké Ball in 1925, marking the beginning of modern "Pokémon Studies."
"These are actually required history content." Lu Ye's expression was strange.
Even Pokémon history had endless memorisation points.
For example, the completion of Parfum Palace in 1700 AD, the first Pokémon League tournament held in 1896...
If Lu Ye really had to memorise all this, it would be quite painful.
"Looks like even in the Pokémon world, being a top student isn't easy!"
Lu Ye sighed and opened the online "High School Politics Required Course 3."
With the appearance of Pokémon, centralised organisations represented by the League gradually formed.
In this parallel world, Lu Ye was located in the "Eastern Huang League's" Magic City.
Other regions still had the "Kalos League," "Unova League," and so on, exactly as Lu Ye remembered.
"Looks like it really is the Pokémon world merged with reality."
Lu Ye was stunned for a long time before exhaling deeply.
"Could it be... I also have a chance to become a trainer?"
Becoming a Pokémon trainer had always been Lu Ye's dream.
But after Lu Ye collected information online, he immediately hesitated.
"The mortality rate is this high!?"
In this world, becoming a trainer was definitely not easy.
Mastering multiple foreign languages was just the basics; Chinese, Japanese, French, and English were even required for trainers.
Financial resources, education, resources, and connections were all indispensable.
And the extremely high mortality rate made trainer a "high-risk profession," with Pokémon battles even classified as "extreme sports."
Compared to other professions, the high risk and high threshold meant the number of trainers was extremely small.
Of course, Poké Balls were still quite popular.
Ordinary people could also capture Pokémon, and those who loved and owned Pokémon were definitely not few.
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, as if suddenly realising something.
"Why become a trainer... isn't being a content plagiarist better?"
With the appearance of Pokémon, the special effects costs for movies, games, and other industries had greatly decreased, yet the quality was questionable.
Like this commercial film starring Unova's Icirrus City Gym Leader Brycen, produced by Pokémon Hollywood, called "Brycenman."
With its cliché plot and template heroism, it actually made it onto the TOP 50.
Lu Ye really couldn't think of any reason he wouldn't become popular.
In the gaming field, due to the parallel world, the previously popular works hadn't appeared.
The most popular game was "Pokémon: Battle" developed by Hoenn's Devon Corporation, which Lu Ye streamed daily.
"Pokémon: Battle" referenced real Pokémon battles, using virtual imaging technology to create real-time gameplay with a very wide audience.
Some trainer academies even used this game as teaching material to train students' command awareness.
Many famous trainers, including "Fighter" Red, were loyal users of this game.
Due to the barriers to Pokémon battles, the various tactics Lu Ye knew hadn't been popularised.
This was why, just with the "SubToxic" tactic, Lu Ye could garner millions of views.
"Looks like making a couple videos in the future, Top 100 UP master is just around the corner..."
With Lu Ye's understanding of Pokémon battles, creating a few more million-quality videos would be extremely easy.
But before that, he needed to first understand how Bilibili operated in this parallel world.
Lu Ye ate his roast duck with scallions while continuing to browse Bilibili.
Unlike his previous life, on Bilibili, YouTube, Twitch, Niconico, and other platforms, almost the same batch of bloggers were popular.
For example, the currently popular UP master on YouTube, the Water-type Gym Leader from the Galar League, known as the "Black Pearl," Nessa, was also hugely popular on Bilibili.
Long, athletic, beautiful legs, healthy wheat-colored skin; in the video, Nessa rode on a Milotic, leaping out of the sea's surface with crystal water droplets splashing.
This aesthetically pleasing scene left Lu Ye somewhat entranced.
"It's... really Nessa!"
"Makes sense, even Red appeared, so gym leaders should be the same."
This photo shoot video was at the top of Bilibili's fashion section, posted by Nessa herself.
In the comment section, talents emerged.
"Nessa shot a photo spread for LV, my youth is back!"
"Sob sob, Nessa angel, mama loves you!"
"You call that liking? You're just lusting after her body, you're despicable!"
With the principle of practice leading to truth, Lu Ye opened the dance section.
Lu Ye, who had expected to see the traditional dance section, was disappointed to see a man.
An internet celebrity, Galar's dark-skinned Dragon-type Gym Leader, Raihan.
With a well-proportioned physique and a slightly roguish air, Raihan wore an orange-red headband, showing a cheerful smile and white teeth.
Although not as handsome as Lu Ye, with his dancing skills and Dragon-type Gym Leader status, Raihan had extremely high popularity on social media.
In the film and television category, the cover was for the new movie promotion of Hollywood actress Diantha...
"Looks like the UP master profession still has good prospects."
Lu Ye murmured.
"I'll continue streaming tonight, observe for a while, then make plans..."
Lu Ye already had a rough plan for his future direction.
Becoming a trainer was impossible, impossible in this lifetime.
Only by writing novels and making videos could he maintain his livelihood.
Although he didn't plan to become a trainer, raising a few Pokémon as pets still made Lu Ye very excited.
"What Pokémon should I raise..."
"Since I'm not a battler, cuteness definitely comes first!"
"Eevee? Pikachu?"
"In the future, I can cuddle Eevee while cuddling Pikachu, how wonderful!"
A Poké Ball's market price was 500 yuan.
After checking his balance, including the incentive from his million-view video, Lu Ye had about 20,000 yuan.
Lu Ye planned to go to Magic City's specialised Pokémon shop tomorrow to purchase Poké Balls.
That evening, Lu Ye streamed as usual.
Due to the video's fermentation, as soon as Lu Ye started streaming, his popularity broke through 200,000.
