Chapter 520 Pokémon Legends: The Dragon of Ideals and Reality
It was probably Professor Oak's real-life experience that had an effect.
Just a few days ago, Qingyu was leisurely enjoying her life as a teacher, but she finally realized that she hadn't updated her videos for a while.
So, in the early morning of the third day after the urging for an update, user "Qunqingzhiyu" finally remembered his Pokémon TV account password and updated a "Talking Myths" series video after nearly three months.
Pokémon Legends: Dragon of Ideals and Reality!
Once the video was released, it quickly rose to the top of the charts within minutes, even achieving the absurd record of "one million users watching at the same time," which made the already strained servers even worse.
[Something's not right. Teacher Yu disappeared for so long recently, how come he suddenly remembered he's a streamer now that the competition is about to start?]
To be honest, the Unova Journey probably provided Yu-sensei with a lot of material. Just by looking at the title, you can tell that the main characters in this episode are those two legendary black and white dragons!
[I was wondering if Pokémon TV could switch to a less laggy server. What if Yu-sensei uploads ten episodes in a row and crashes the server?]
[Don't make Teacher Yu laugh, okay?]
[If we can only produce one video a month, that's considered a success. Teacher Yu, do you know how we've been coping these past two months?!]
Since Qingyu's work as the gym owner has temporarily come to an end, his fans haven't been able to enjoy his videos right on time for meals anymore.
They seem to have accumulated a considerable amount of resentment.
Of course, it was mostly just banter, since they knew how difficult it was to create the "telling myths" series.
You won't find another streamer on the entire internet who can directly film legendary Pokémon face-to-face in videos!
It is probably precisely because of this that Qingyu, a technical streamer, has been able to leave everyone else in the dust on the historical track.
Who knows, he might become the number one figure in the history section next year.
After clicking on the video, countless viewers left their comments while the video started playing.
"Come on, Reshiram, smile for the camera!"
In the first frame of the video, the blurry camera is pulled in one direction by an unseen hand, revealing only a vaguely visible flying Pokémon with snow-white feathers.
However, if we combine this with Qingyu's casual remark, it's easy to figure out its true identity—sure enough, the camera quickly returned to focus, and a very cute white baby dragon filled the entire screen, letting out a helpless sigh.
It certainly didn't grin at the camera; instead, it spat out a small wisp of blue flame from its mouth as if to say hello, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
【Wait, Yu-sensei, you've made legendary Pokémon "voluntarily" appear again, haven't you?!】
[Rahiram: Doesn't taking such a close-up shot of my face make me look bad?]
[666, this is definitely something you can't learn. No normal person would dare do that; they'd be asking for trouble.]
【——
This is the best proof of Teacher Yu's skill!
Am I the only one wondering why the white dragon has become so cute? Did Teacher Yu turn it into a baby form?
[Very likely! I genuinely believe that Teacher Yu crushed the Legend!]
"Well, it's just here to serve as a 'disclaimer' anyway, to enhance the persuasiveness of this video~"
After clearing her throat, Qingyu pointed the camera at herself, revealing a bright and cheerful smile.
"In short, what I'm about to say has no objections from Zekrom and Reshiram themselves, which is enough to prove its high credibility, right?"
"Well then, without further ado, Teacher Yu will take you back to Unova a thousand years ago to learn about the origin of the Twin Dragons."
The scene then shifts to an image of the "Hero Monument," a highly recognizable landmark in Unova.
"As we all know, the ancient world was not as peaceful as it is now, and the relationship between humans and Pokémon was still in a stage of mutual distrust and alienation."
"The same is true for the Unova region, which is isolated overseas. The ongoing conflict between humans and Pokémon has left both sides exhausted."
"And a thousand years ago, two legendary heroes stepped forward."
"They were twins who left Aindoark to bring peace to the Unova and were eventually recognized by the Primal Dragon."
Qingyu zoomed in, focusing the view on the enormous, bipedal dragon on the stone tablet.
It does indeed look somewhat similar to Kyurem.
"With the power of the Primal Dragon, the heroes quickly conquered the entire Unova, spreading the ideal of peace, and humans and Pokémon gradually came into contact as a result."
However, this good fortune did not last long.
"As the nation was unified, the two heroes' ideologies diverged, leading to another war that brought profound disaster to the land of the United States."
Since this part of the content has been almost forgotten by history, and Qingyu couldn't find a suitable background image, he simply added a picture of Keldeo.
"The war soon spread to the habitats of wild Pokémon. The three swordsmen stepped forward, chose to stand against humanity, and successfully defeated the hero who was gradually forgetting his true self."
"However, their change in mindset indirectly affected the will of the Primal Dragon, ultimately causing it to split into three."
"Due to their differing ideologies, the black dragon Zekrom, who was devoted to his ideals, and the white dragon Reshiram, who sought truth, were separated from each other and began to pursue their respective goals."
"As for the primordial dragon's body—it was frozen in an inconspicuous corner of Unova, and people call it Kyurem."
"From then on, the primordial dragon ceased to exist, and the dragons of ideals and truths that people knew began to emerge, and over the course of a thousand years, they chose their respective representatives, trying to prove that only their own ideas were absolutely correct."
"And the older traditions that people are more familiar with have continued in this way."
Qingyu's voice gradually faded away, and the screen went black briefly.
It seems to be giving the audience time to think.
Therefore, many local fans in the United States quickly began to express their opinions:
[Huh? So Unova has "Holy Swordsmen"? I've never heard of them before?]
[If I hadn't seen it at Blueberry Academy, I probably wouldn't have known. It just goes to show how difficult it is to retrieve the past that's been hidden in history!]
Indeed, after all, this was during a dynasty a thousand years ago, and the descendants of those heroes probably wouldn't want such disgraceful things to be passed down.
[It's indeed a very interesting legend, and precisely because it was told by Teacher Yu, even though it sounds a bit far-fetched, it's still quite credible!]
To be honest, the Unova mythology doesn't feel exciting enough. Legendary Pokémon from other places are always destroying the world, so why does yours seem like you're just having humans train heroes?
[So, is there an even more exciting version?]
"Yes, brothers, yes!"
As if anticipating the thoughts of the comments, a bright light suddenly flashed across the previously black screen, and then Qingyu, holding a baby dragon in each hand, made a dazzling reappearance.
"A story from a thousand years ago is still too far in the past. In fact, just over half a month ago, something of moderate importance happened in Shuanglong City."
"And I happened to be there, and was unexpectedly chosen by the White Dragon to be the true hero," so I helped them out by resolving some of their troubles.
Qingyu paused for a moment, then continued.
"It's probably just that Team Plasma is up to no good. They dug Kyurem out of the Primal Dragon's slumber and froze the entire Twin Dragons City."
"If I had been just a little slower, that ideal hero might have given the villain a golden opportunity, allowing Kyurem to absorb Zekrom's power and regain his full strength~"
A few casually uttered words instantly shocked countless viewers.
【Huh? No, Teacher Yu, you're only telling me now?】
[Teacher Yu said something incredibly profound as if it were nothing out of the ordinary—and he genuinely seemed to think it was no big deal!]
After all, Teacher Yu has the experience of fighting two dragons from different time periods single-handedly, so it feels like only he has the right to show off like this.
[Wait a minute, how come I haven't heard anyone mention something this big?]
[Because Twin Dragons City already had a small population, and given the current situation of the United States Alliance—sigh!]
"It was actually quite easy to resolve, it wasn't a big deal, but nobody paid any attention to the plasma team, which almost caused a major disaster."
Even through the screen, Qingyu seemed to resonate with the comments.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have believed the current state of the United States Alliance—"
"I can't say for sure, but in short, this matter hasn't spread much."
Qingyu rarely expresses her subjective emotions in videos. Even if she does, she usually does so in a lighthearted, teasing way.
But recalling the still unresolved case of champion Ardek, and the complete shutdown of the United League—
Even he was deeply troubled by this.
That's why I made a little complaint.
"In any case, the matter is over, and Teacher Yu has placed Kyurem in a safer and more welcoming new environment."
"And now it's time to end the conflict between ideals and reality."
Qingyu weighed the black and white baby dragon in her hand, which remained motionless and silent like a doll, and quickly revealed a kind smile.
"Ideals and reality are not in conflict, just as they once belonged to a whole."
"Just as an ideal hero could be my student, a real hero could be N's teacher. Perhaps he might even find his true self in the future?"
"So, we've been stuck on this one point for a thousand years. It's time to shake hands and make peace, don't you think?"
After saying that, Qingyu's gaze locked onto Zekrom and Reshiram in his hands.
"————" ×2
Clearly, judging from their expressions, they were not willing to reconcile.
But since they were both held by the scruff of their necks, they could only reluctantly shake hands and immediately turn their heads to wipe their palms.
"That's more like it~"
Qingyu didn't care about their obvious resistance, after all, the process was already complete, and there would always be an opportunity for reconciliation in the future.
Why does it feel like the Black and White Dragons are as weak and powerless as a little girl in Teacher Yu's hands?
[Czech Röhm & Lehiram: Oh well, let's just do it to give Teacher Yu face ——————]
[Teacher Yu: I'm not one for fighting, I only know how to defuse conflicts, but if you don't give me face, don't blame me for losing my temper!]
[Pokémon Legends × Mega Sinnoh Master]
[Not a Padia? There really are bad guys in Sinnoh, always trying to steal away our world's best teacher, Yuu!]
【Padiya? Don't make your sister Zhulan laugh~】
"cough--"
Just as the atmosphere in the comments section was becoming increasingly tense, Qingyu suddenly coughed lightly and then summarized today's Unova short story.
"In short, there are no terrifying legends in Unova that would destroy the world at any moment; rather, the problem lies with the legendary Pokémon themselves."
"But the reason for this is actually related to us humans."
"While the changes in these two heroes are certainly tragic, how many people can truly stay true to themselves and see their own reality throughout their lives?"
"Compared to the legends of world destruction, introspection about human nature may be the main theme of the Unova region."
"The questions that humans ponder can stump even legendary Pokémon, and even leave a powerful god unable to find the answers, forcing him to split his consciousness to ultimately arrive at the correct conclusion —"
Qingyu's voice remained calm, yet it inexplicably sent a chill down one's spine.
"Perhaps one day, the same thing will happen again, and when that time comes, will humanity be able to arrive at the right answer on its own?"
"To be honest, I'm not too sure either."
"However, perhaps it's precisely because I've always believed I could make the right choice that I was chosen by Reshiram to become a true hero?"
"And you, my lovely students, you must always keep your confidence in yourselves!"
The video abruptly ended, just like always.
It seems that the mythology series videos are always like this: Qingyu, who is unserious at the beginning, will suddenly become serious at the end, as if he wants to teach them something beyond strength in this way.
According to Qingyu's plan, the viewers might remain silent for a moment.
But after the silence, even more power will surely burst forth from within.
If that's the case, then this video of mine will have served a purpose.
Unfortunately, it seems he finally failed at "reading first" once again—
The focus of the viewers seems a bit strange.
【Huh? Me, I want to be a hero too?】
[Teacher Yu says this because he can actually beat a legendary Pokémon. Didn't you see him carrying Reshiram, which looks like a chick? — What are we cannon fodder doing getting involved? Let's just wash up and go to sleep!]
Although I feel that what Teacher Yu said makes sense, I still can't empathize with him. After all, the difference in strength is just too great.
Teacher Yu is becoming increasingly inhumane; a deep, thick barrier has grown between us!
In short, Qingyu's words seemed to have become one of the materials for their emo, and for a time the comment section was full of strange words such as "I am sorry for being born as a human being" and "I am really not worthy to be Teacher Yu's student, waaaaah".
This silenced Qingyu, who had opened the comments section.
"No, buddy?"
"Looks like next time, I'll have to give them some more interesting legendary Pokémon."
