Chapter 243: Hoenn’s hottest idol is in the stream too?!
🕑 Added 2026-01-02 16:00:16 +0000 UTC“If you keep eating like this, you won’t even be able to fly soon. At this rate, Zapdos is going to be faster than you!”
“Kyah!” (Impossible. Absolutely impossible! I’m the great Articuno—how could I ever get surpassed by some frizzy-feathered bird like Zapdos?!)
The moment Zapdos was mentioned, Articuno’s emotions instantly flared up.
Especially when it came to flying.
You could say its flight speed couldn’t beat Blaziken’s running speed.
You could say it couldn’t beat Lucario when it was using Extreme Speed.
But!
You absolutely could not say it was slower than Zapdos!
Not in any way, not in any category!
That was its bottom line!
“Zzt-zzt.” (If you’re slower, you’re slower. Just look at what you’ve been eating lately. You’ve been greasy-mouthed every day, going on about how the fridge is ‘nice and cool,’ but all you do is sneak food out of it!)
Right then, Zapdos squeezed out of the kitchen too.
It had been eating electricity.
But Articuno suddenly got all fired up, and after listening closely, Zapdos realized it was somehow involved.
Zapdos felt like it absolutely could beat Articuno.
Why was Articuno so strong in the first place? Because it joined the team early and got Grey’s guidance!
But don’t forget—Zapdos had joined now too. And early this morning, its strength had already reached Elite Four level!
The same level as Articuno!
“Kyah!” (What do you know?! I’m just helping test whether the fridge is cooling properly! What if it breaks?!)
Articuno hurriedly argued back, insisting it stayed near the fridge for the dojo’s safety.
In the blazing summer heat, if everyone wanted to eat popsicles and the fridge suddenly died, someone could seriously get heatstroke!
“Zzt-zzt.” (Yeah, yeah, sure. If the fridge breaks, we’ll just use you as the fridge.)
Zapdos had already moved to Grey’s other side. The camera on the streaming setup kept swinging back and forth between Articuno and Zapdos, lingering for exactly the same amount of time on each—perfectly evenhanded.
【I don’t know what they’re saying, but it feels like their bond is really good!】
【Is that really a bond? Why do I feel like they’re actually cursing each other out? Any bird experts here—what’s going on?】
【All Flying-type Gym Leaders and Elite Four members, step forward!】
【Lance, where are you?! We need a Trainer who’s good with Flying Pokémon to translate!】
【? I’m laughing my head off—had to read that twice to get it. You Kanto Trainers really love roasting your own Elite Four, huh?】
【Quit slandering us—we’re just telling the truth, okay!】
The chat burst into laughter.
Still, they were incredibly curious what these two legendary bird Pokémon were actually saying.
You could tell they were trash-talking—just not what they were trash-talking about.
It had everyone itching to know whether legendary Pokémon lived any differently from regular Pokémon day-to-day.
“Poli.” (What are you two yelling about? Every day it’s bickering, bickering, bickering—so loud.)
At that moment, Poliwrath walked over. Standing behind Grey, it grumbled at the two bird Pokémon.
Then it reached out—first grabbing Articuno, then grabbing Zapdos—and dragged both of them off to the side to argue somewhere else.
“Poli.” (Seriously, you cause trouble every day. Embarrassing.)
Poliwrath complained while dragging them, leaving the viewers completely stunned.
【What is this Poliwrath?! It just dragged two legendary Pokémon away?!】
【This is rebellion against the natural order! But… why are the birds being so obedient? Where’s the legendary pride? They’re just letting Poliwrath drag them off?】
【I don’t get it. Are all of Grey’s Pokémon this insane? Even Poliwrath can drag legendaries around now?】
Everyone was still kind of dazed. Today’s stream was genuinely unbelievable.
【That Poliwrath is really strong, Mr. Streamer Do you have any interest in coming to the Hoenn region to take part in Pokémon Contests? (Gifted 1 Ultra Ball)】
【Lisia!!! Aaaah—Lisia, you’re a soft, sweet mint cake!】
【Miss Lisia, I’m your fan! Take us with you!】
【Lisia is an angel, I love you so much!】
“Thanks to ‘Lisia’ for the Ultra Ball—arigato~ As for Pokémon Contests, I don’t really know that much about them. But if I get the time later, I’ll go check out the Hoenn region.”
Grey glanced at the username and realized it was Lisia—the current top idol in Hoenn.
She was sweet-looking, obsessed with Contests, and also Wallace’s niece.
With that many buffs stacked on her, Lisia had basically become a regional idol, adored by fans everywhere.
If you wanted an example, her status was kind of like Cerulean Gym’s Daisy, Violet, and Lily.
But since Lisia wasn’t a Gym Leader, even if her battling strength was a bit weaker, nobody really criticized her for it.
Contests were all about stunning move combinations and nonstop visual flow—and with her looks on top of that, becoming a star was only natural.
Totally normal.
【Why does Lisia have time to watch streams today? I remember Wallace is streaming too—why aren’t you watching Wallace?】
【Yeah yeah! I heard Wallace is explaining Water-type move combinations for real battles today, more on the flashy side!】
【I’m watching streams in secret I finally got a chance to breathe today, so of course I’m going to check other channels Otherwise I wouldn’t have run into you guys~】
【You’re the best!】
【I want to be a Lisia fan forever!】
【Waaah, you’re resting but you still think about us little fans? Lisia, you’re seriously so, so good!】
Watching the chat, Grey rubbed his chin and realized there was still a lot he could learn.
Just a few lines, and she’d already turned her fans into helpless babies—there was definitely real technique in that.
Sure enough, the road of streaming was long and difficult!
If he wanted to expand the dojo as soon as possible, he’d have to learn slowly and steadily!
【Mm thank you for all the support But this is Mr. Streamer’s channel, so everyone should try not to talk about me too much, okay~ (Activated Membership)】
【I’m curious what kind of Pokémon Mr. Streamer has. Can you let me broaden my horizons? (Activated Captain Tier)】
“Thanks to ‘Lisia’ for the membership and Captain tier~ As for what Pokémon I have… it’s honestly not that many. Besides those three just now, I’ve got less than twenty total.”
Grey really hadn’t caught that many Pokémon. Compared to other Gyms that easily had dozens, even counting little Riolu that wasn’t in a Poké Ball, Grey only had sixteen.
“‘Broaden your horizons’ might be a bit much, but… let me see which one’s free…”
Grey’s gaze swept around, and then he suddenly saw a flash of deep blue right in front of him—followed by pitch-black darkness…
