Chapter 126 The Current Situation and Declaration of Gaul
As the conversation veered off-topic and time ticked by, Lin Dao steered it back to the main point.
"Regarding the issue of evolution, as the two worlds merge more deeply and the rules gradually become more complete, Ralts's evolutionary obstacles should naturally disappear; it's just a matter of time. So, do you and Ralts have any other questions?"
""
The live feed fell silent for a brief moment.
In the attic, only the moonlight flowed quietly.
After a long while, the girl's voice rang out again. This time, her speech was much slower, with a solemn air as she tried to organize her thoughts and tell her story: "My name is Lia—I live in a small town in southern Gaul. My family is very ordinary, even somewhat poor. My mother died early, and my father runs the family farm and orchard by himself, barely making ends meet."
"I know about my family's situation, so after finishing my basic courses, I didn't continue my studies. I helped my dad with chores while studying nursing knowledge on my own. I thought that I would get a nursing license and work at the clinic in our town so that I could help everyone and have a stable income to help my dad with his burden."
Her narrative is simple, yet it paints a vivid picture of a precocious and sensible rural girl.
"About a month ago, I was trying to introduce some more valuable fruit trees into the orchard at home, and that's when I first encountered Ralts."
The girl's voice carried a hint of warmth and disbelief.
"In our country—although the concept of Pokémon has been introduced and mentioned intermittently in the news, it seems that the higher-ups are constantly arguing and unable to come up with a unified solution. In small places like ours, there's been even less activity; everyone continues with their lives as usual, and some are even a little scared."
"Ralts told me it comes from the Pokémon world. It was somewhat special within its original species," Although it possesses strong willpower, it aspires to evolve into a warrior like Gallade, rather than the Gardevoir path recommended by its species.
"To achieve this goal, it had been honing its fighting skills diligently on its own. As a result, while it was focused on one training session, a fluctuation from the merging of two worlds brought it here."
"When it first arrived, it was very scared and hid. Later, it discovered that apart from a few areas where powerful wild Pokémon were lurking, there didn't seem to be many other things that could threaten it, so it settled down and continued to train."
"It wanted to continue getting stronger, to evolve, but found that no matter how hard it tried, the threshold for evolution remained unchanged. It heard from some arriving Pokémon that 'trainers' and 'battles' might help it break through, so it began secretly observing humans, hoping to find a suitable partner."
"It has been observing me for a long time."
Liya's voice lowered, tinged with shyness and emotion.
"It thought I was fairly reliable. Then one day, it appeared right in front of me and asked me telepathically if I would like to become its trainer and grow stronger together."
"I—I actually secretly watched some restricted Pokémon videos online back then. Especially those from China, like the 'Pokémon Center' concept you mentioned, Professor Lin."
"That nurse named Nurse Joy, with just a Pokémon called Chansey, can protect the health of an entire town. That's practically—my dream job!"
"So, when Ralts asked me, I agreed almost without hesitation. But—"
Her tone became helpless and heavy.
"The ban in our country hasn't been lifted, and the people in the town are wary of anything unfamiliar. I didn't dare tell my dad, and I didn't dare tell anyone. So I had to let Ralts secretly live in our attic where we store junk."
"Every day I secretly feed Ralts berries and a small amount of tree berries, and at night I secretly study the meager Pokémon knowledge I can find online. I also—I even get Ralts to use its psychic powers to help me," he said, quickly learning Chinese so he could understand more of the materials and videos available in China.
"Ralts was really excited watching your rookie matches. I could feel the fighting spirit within it."
The desire to prove myself in a professional competition. We—we secretly watched matches every day, I tried hard to imitate what I saw in the videos, imagined myself as a trainer, and did some of the simplest command drills with Ralts—but I knew it was far from enough.
The girl's voice was filled with confusion and longing.
"Teacher Lin, I don't know—how much longer we have to hide like this. I don't know when Ralts and I will be able to walk openly in the sunlight like trainers and Pokémon in China, training together, sparring with other trainers, and striving together for a certain goal—"
"Today's live stream was really lucky. We sent our comments on a whim—and to our surprise, we were actually selected."
She took a deep breath and mustered her courage to ask the most crucial question.
"Ms. Lin—can you tell us what to do? Can you—help people like us, in other corners of the world, who also want to become Pokémon partners but are trapped for various reasons? It's like there's a 'high wall' in front of us."
The live broadcast room and the scene were completely silent.
The bullet comments section was unusually empty, with large areas of blank space.
Then, comments began to flood in various languages. Some in Gaul expressed support and empathy for Leah; viewers from other countries recounted similar plights; there was anger at the slow action of their respective governments; and there were almost pleading calls to Lin Dao: "Teacher Lin, help them!", "Please come to our country!", "We need guidance!" —
Inside the battle tower, the 200,000 spectators fell silent.
Many people wore complex expressions, including sympathy,感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep feelings), and a sense of relief and reflection as members of the Chinese nation who could pursue their dreams relatively freely at this moment.
Lin Dao listened quietly, watching the silhouettes of the person and the Pokémon in the dimly lit attic in the picture.
His gaze was deep, as if it pierced through the screen, seeing the Gallic countryside, and many similar places around the world.
A corner isolated by fear, prejudice, or incompetent policies.
After a long silence, he spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but carrying a resolute and unquestionable firmness that clearly resonated throughout every corner of the live broadcast room and echoed within the magnificent battle tower.
"Lia, Ralts."
"I have heard your questions. I have seen your predicament."
"Please believe that you are not alone. There are many other people and Pokémon in this world who, like you, yearn for connection and a shared future."
"The high wall may exist for a time. But its existence is never meant to be admired, but to be broken down."
His self-glow sharpened, as if it contained a powerful force.
"I cannot fly to Gaul immediately, nor can I instantly change your country's policies. But I can promise '7...'"
"As long as I stand here, as long as the path of Pokémon culture dissemination and development continues to extend, and as long as the bridge connecting the two worlds continues to be built—then breaking down barriers and letting the light shine into every forgotten corner is the unwavering goal of me and my companions."
"Your dreams deserve respect. Ralts's thirst for battle and evolution deserves to be fulfilled. The future you've been waiting for, where humans and Pokémon walk side by side, will eventually come."
"This may take time, it may require effort, and it may even involve some risks. But please keep hope, and keep your courage and connection in this moment."
"because-
—"
Lin Dao spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice like a declaration.
"I, Lin Dao, hereby promise: I will stand with you and work together to overcome your difficulties."
After he finished speaking, the live stream remained silent.
But the comments on the screen, like the eruption of a dormant volcano, were completely drowned out by messages in various languages such as "Thank you!", "Let's break through together!", and "We believe in you!"
Many people's eyes welled up with tears.
In the video call, Ralts raised its head, its red eyes fixed on the screen beneath its green bangs, as if trying to imprint Lin Dao's figure and words deep into its heart.
Lia seemed to say something in a low voice, with a heavy nasal tone, and then the image shook slightly and stopped.
This unexpected connection, which spanned continents and overcame difficulties, has now come to an end.
But the shock and reflection it brought are far from over.
