I Popularized the Pokemons in the Three Kingdoms

Charizard, possessing both Fire and Flying attributes, held a distinct advantage over Beedrill.

Not only that, but this Charizard was a transformation of Mew. Its abilities far exceeded those of an ordinary Charizard, making it an absolute force of destruction.

Even if there were twice as many Beedrills, it would still pose no challenge.

The moment Lin Yu gave the command, Charizard opened its mouth wide, unleashing ten blazing fireballs toward the swarm of giant Beedrills that had trapped the Yulin soldiers in a desperate struggle.

The searing flames tore through the air, striking with merciless precision.

In an instant, chaos erupted. Some Beedrills were incinerated, their bodies reduced to ash, while others, gravely injured, frantically buzzed around in disarray, their formations broken.

From below, the Yulin soldiers—who had just been on the brink of collapse—stood frozen, their eyes widened in utter disbelief.

Lin Yu, noticing their stunned expressions, let out a sigh and shouted down at them.

"What are you standing there for? Are you waiting for another ambush?"

You've been tormented by those giant bees, and you're still standing around like statues? Go back and rest!

"Yes, Imperial Master!"

"All 640 soldiers, follow my orders—retreat immediately!"

The commander of the Yulin Army straightened his posture and saluted Lin Yu before relaying the command in a booming voice.

The soldiers, as if breaking free from a trance, snapped to attention and began retreating in an orderly manner.

What would happen if they didn't retreat?

In their current condition, they were in no shape to continue capturing Pokémon.

As they pulled back, the memory of Lin Yu's intervention remained fresh in their minds.

The Immortal Imperial Master was beyond extraordinary.

To them, Lin Yu—who had descended from the skies atop a fire-breathing dragon—was nothing short of divine.

Their awe and reverence deepened, but now, admiration and gratitude mixed in as well.

If it weren't for him, they would have been slaughtered by those vicious Pokémon.

They finally understood—the National Teacher had been right all along.

Catching Pokémon wasn't easy.

Next time, they had to be more careful.

Soaring Above on Charizard

As they flew high above, Lin Yu turned to Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, who still looked shaken.

"The Pokémon you encountered just now is called Beedrill," Lin Yu explained. "It's a social Pokémon. Many Pokémon species live in groups.

"When they're alone, they may seem weak. But when they gather in large numbers, they can unleash terrifying power."

Liu Hong exhaled heavily. "I'm fortunate to have you as my son-in-law today… Otherwise, I don't know how many guards I would have lost."

His voice carried deep sincerity.

At first, he had assumed that capturing Pokémon wouldn't be too difficult.

If they couldn't catch the strong ones, couldn't they at least capture the weaker ones?

That was why he had sent out the Han Dynasty's most elite troops.

But reality had slapped him hard.

Several soldiers had been wounded catching a mere bug. And when faced with the Beedrills, they had been utterly helpless.

Had it not been for Lin Yu, the Yulin soldiers would have met a tragic end.

"Let's check on the other teams," Lin Yu said, scanning the horizon. "See if any of them are in trouble."

Sigh…

He shouldn't have agreed to this father-in-law's request.

This whole thing felt like a school field trip, with him as the teacher leading students.

What a headache…

The Tiger Guard's Encounter

Not far away, a Tiger Guard squad roamed the dense foliage, searching for Pokémon with excitement.

Suddenly, a brown deer leapt from the bushes.

The soldiers tensed for a moment—until they realized it was just a small deer.

They relaxed, lowering their guard.

It was a sturdy little creature, its brown coat contrasting with a beige underbelly. Two small beige spots adorned its back, along with a large, ball-shaped tail.

Its face matched its earthy tones, except for its dark brown muzzle. On its head sat two small antlers, each with a black sphere in the center.

Then, without warning, the black spheres on its antlers pulsed, releasing a mysterious energy wave.

Before the Tiger Guards could react, they were already caught in its illusion.

One soldier saw his comrades attacking him with drawn swords.

Another found himself standing on the edge of a cliff, teetering on the brink of death.

Someone else struggled for breath, drowning in an unseen abyss.

Some drew their blades, slashing wildly at phantoms.

Others clawed desperately at thin air, trying to grab onto something—anything—for survival.

Many collapsed, their bodies trembling in fear.

And by the time Lin Yu and Emperor Liu Hong arrived at the scene, the deer—the one responsible—was long gone.

Breaking the Illusion

"My dear son-in-law… What happened to them?"

"How could this be?"

Emperor Liu Hong's voice was filled with shock.

Lin Yu didn't answer immediately. Instead, his gaze flickered toward the direction where the Frighted Deer had fled.

Frowning, he gave a direct command.

"Mew, pull them out of the illusion."

At his order, Mew floated into the air. Its tiny pink body glowed, and with a flick of its tail, it released a soft, shimmering energy wave.

Slowly, the Tiger Guards' eyes began to clear.

Yet, their expressions remained dull, their minds still trapped in the aftereffects of the hallucination.

Mew sighed playfully, then unleashed a second, purer wave of psychic energy, cleansing their minds completely.

Finally, they came back to reality.

As realization dawned, their faces turned pale, and cold sweat trickled down their backs.

They had barely survived something truly horrifying.

As Lin Yu and Emperor Liu Hong descended, the soldiers immediately saluted in unison.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Master! We are forever in your debt!"

Their voices were full of gratitude.

Lin Yu nodded. "The Pokémon you encountered was Stantler—the little deer you saw earlier."

"It may look harmless, but its antlers can create powerful illusions that trap those who see them."

"You must be more careful next time."

Lin Yu took the opportunity to give a live lesson.

After all, practical experience left a far stronger impression than theory.

Meanwhile...

Far away in Xuzhou, a man named Mi Zhu journeyed toward Luoyang, intending to purchase an official position.

But little did he know…

Something awaited him that would change his fate forever.
