Chapter 612

~7 min read 1,289 words

On the last day of February, the video suddenly released by Xiang Qingyu quickly topped the PokéTV hot search list again.

Compared to the last "Arceus Genesis," the popularity of the second episode of the science popularization video about Mew was only higher, and it immediately became popular all over the internet overnight.

The reason is also very simple—

For the last "Genesis," Xiang Qingyu himself said that the authenticity could not be verified, so let the audience just listen to it as a story.

Although after subsequent joint exploration by scholars from various regions, it was found that the Legendary Pokémon mentioned in his video were all true, but how to prove the creation process is clearly an unsolvable problem.

Unless you can find the Creation God Arceus himself, the content in the last video cannot be verified at all.

Therefore, treating it as a pure mythological story is already the best solution.

Anyway, Teacher Feather also hinted at this.

But this time, the presentation of Mew's science popularization is completely different...

Teacher Feather directly brought this mysterious Mythical Pokémon into the video, not only appearing as the protagonist, but even showing a few waves of its own transformation "special skills"!

In the minds of the fans, only two words remained—

Authoritative, too authoritative!

Even Professor Oak can only fill in the blanks of Mew based on a small amount of discoveries, and there is not even a photo of Mew in the Pokédex.

Teacher Feather is good, you even pulled Mew himself over, who dares to question you now?

You are more awesome than Professor Oak!

Even Professor Oak himself appeared in the comment section of this episode, expressing high praise for Xiang Qingyu's introduction.

Of course, this person is already a frequent visitor under Teacher Feather's videos, and many fans have long been accustomed to it.

Professor Oak, Steven, Cynthia, and various members of the Elite Four and Champions are all Teacher Feather's connections, appearing in the live broadcast room or comment section from time to time...

Now even Legendary Pokémon have been invited by Xiang Qingyu to appear and speak for themselves, acting as video material.

In terms of connections, I have never seen anyone more outrageous than Xiang Qingyu!

Kanto region, Pallet Town, Oak Research Institute.

"Xiang Qingyu's second video is indeed about Mew."

Staring at the content on the mobile phone screen, after sending the typed praise text, a smile soon appeared on Professor Oak's spirited face.

Some time ago, when Xiang Qingyu brought Mew here, he vaguely guessed that there would definitely be such a day in the future, and at the same time, he did not forget to urge for updates offline.

Although it was a bit later than expected, however...

Sure enough, for Mew, Xiang Qingyu should be a quite special human, right?

Unlike other ordinary people who just watch the fun, Professor Oak has a very deep understanding of these mysterious Mythical Pokémon.

Strictly speaking, Mythical Pokémon are actually rarer existences than "Legendary Pokémon"; most of them are unique special individuals, and they almost never appear in front of humans.

If it weren't for the luck of meeting a Celebi in his youth and becoming deeply interested in these Mythical Pokémon, even as a leader in the academic world, I'm afraid his understanding of these special Pokémon would only be a blank slate.

But there is one point Professor Oak can be sure of—

Mythical Pokémon may not possess very powerful power, but their perception of spiritual power is incomparably powerful.

Therefore, in extremely special circumstances, some traits in humans may attract their attention, and thus forge a bond.

For example, the relationship between him and that Celebi that can travel through time and space freely is such a relationship.

"As the guardian of the World Tree, Mew should also be a Pokémon that is extremely sensitive to human inner thoughts, right?"

Professor Oak guessed to himself.

Currently, the only human known to have been recognized by Mew seems to be Aaron, the Aura Guardian who sacrificed himself to restart the World Tree and stop the war hundreds of years ago.

From this point of view, perhaps Xiang Qingyu and that Aura Guardian also have some similarities?

Thinking of this, Professor Oak suddenly froze, and soon shook his head again.

I must have thought too much...

Just at this moment, a researcher suddenly walked over mysteriously, looking at Professor Oak, acting coy, but did not speak.

"What happened?"

Seeing this, Professor Oak took the initiative to smile and speak.

"Professor, have you watched Teacher Feather's latest video?"

The researcher scratched his head, and after speaking a bit unconfidently, Professor Oak immediately reacted.

The fact that he often pays attention to the videos released by Xiang Qingyu is not a secret in the Oak Research Institute, and even many researchers are also fans of Xiang Qingyu, often hearing them gather together to discuss Xiang Qingyu's new videos.

However, this video has a completely different significance from the past.

"Related to Mew?"

"Yes..."

The researcher nodded, and after a brief psychological construction, he finally took a deep breath and asked.

"The Kanto Pokédex made by you, Professor, has always had a Pokémon whose data is basically blank, right? If we can complete the Pokédex data of Mew, the Kanto Pokédex can become more perfect."

"..."

Professor Oak was silent for a moment, then sighed.

Actually, he could roughly guess that this kind of thing would happen soon.

After all, the Oak Research Institute focuses on the relationship between Pokémon and humans, followed by the ecology of local Pokémon.

After decades of research, the Pokémon existing in Kanto have almost all been confirmed, their data has all been included in the Pokémon Pokédex, providing convenience for new trainers.

It's just... there is only one Pokémon whose information in the Pokédex is still almost a blank slate.

That is Mew.

As a rare Mythical Pokémon, the researchers responsible for recording Pokédex data have always thought that this part of the content would be missing forever.

It wasn't until Mew suddenly appeared in Xiang Qingyu's video that it gave them hope to make the Pokédex perfect.

For this reason, this researcher found Professor Oak in a hurry, hoping to persuade Professor Oak to contact Teacher Feather so that they could fulfill their wish.

"If Teacher Feather agrees, we can go to Paldea!"

Regarding the researcher's words, Professor Oak did not reply immediately, but after smiling and shaking his head, he slowly spoke:

"Let's forget it."

"For existences like Legendary Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon, so what if their data is recorded?"

"Not only is it of no help to newcomers, but it is more likely to be used by other people with ulterior motives, repeating the mistakes of Mewtwo's appearance."

When speaking, Professor Oak's expression was somewhat emotional.

If Xiang Qingyu's video had been released before the Team Rocket incident, perhaps he would have taken the initiative to contact Xiang Qingyu, hoping to complete the final content of the Pokédex.

But the appearance of Mewtwo and the actions of Team Rocket gave this Pokémon professor, who has researched for many years but doesn't know much about human diversity, a new perspective.

Pokémon scholars obtained the eyelash fossils of Mew, at most they just studied its gene sequence, confirming the view that it is the origin of Pokémon.

But once Mew's genes are in the hands of evil organizations like Team Rocket, the consequences will become unpredictable.

Mewtwo is the best example.

So...

Letting legendary existences remain mysterious might also be a form of protection for them.

Xiang Qingyu being able to get the recognition of Mew and Mewtwo should also be inseparable from this point.
