Chapter 134 Ugly-Cute? A Fairy-Type Pokémon That Looks Like a Dog! Poliwag Egg and Azire Seaweed! (Requesting...)
Before the official live broadcast, Ye Yinchuan tidied up the surroundings.
Although the environment and equipment were rudimentary and the space was small.
But tidying up and keeping things clean can make people feel more at ease and focused on their work.
"Meow!"
As soon as they finished tidying up, Firefly lay down on its side, resting its chin on one hand in a lazy posture.
If it weren't a male cat, Ye Yinchuan would have been quite tempted!
The broadcast will start promptly at the appointed time.
After a whole night of buzz, Ye Yinchuan's total number of fans has exceeded 30,000 and is rapidly climbing toward 40,000.
The recent live streams have proven to be very effective.
As soon as the broadcast started, the number of viewers skyrocketed, and all sorts of comments flooded the screen.
Ye Yinchuan directly selected a comment and connected with it.
@DogBacteria: [Host, please check on my dog, Bluey. He won't eat, he only drinks water!]
"Is 'Blue' the name of a Pokémon, or a type of Pokémon?"
With these questions in mind, Ye Yinchuan made the connection.
[Connection successful!]
"Hey streamer, I've been waiting for you for days, and you finally connected with me! Can you please check on my little Blue baby?"
When the other person appeared on screen holding the Pokémon, Ye Yinchuan immediately knew the answer.
It's really Blue!
"The little thing is quite unique in appearance."
Ye Yinchuan carefully examined the Pokémon.
Actually, he didn't know much about this Pokémon, and his impression of it was not deep.
Even if you see this Pokémon, you might not be able to tell which one it is, let alone one with a name that's a bit abstract.
Blue looks like a bulldog, all pink, and looks like a dog doll wearing a dress.
The tips of the ears are black, with two on each side, like flowers blooming, which is quite unique.
His face, or rather his head, resembled a small rice ball. His expression and eyes looked fierce, and his face was full of fat, not to mention he had two sharp fangs.
The body part, which resembles a skirt, has a blue collar and blue circular spots.
There are no fingers.
The paws are quite large and yellow, so they are probably dog paws. You can see the paw pads, but there are no sharp nails.
[What kind of Pokémon is this? It's so ugly and fierce!]
Is it a dog-type Pokémon?
【Blue? It seems to have a very gentle personality! I heard it's a Pokémon with a rather unusual personality!】
Ye Yinchuan looked at Bru and recalled some things.
It seems the encyclopedia says that Blue is ugly, but his behavior is cute and gentle, which is why he is fascinated by young women...
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but doubt the veracity of this statement.
Because although Blue is pink and cute, it's definitely not considered pretty...
But when you think about how you can actually find your ugly fish pleasing to the eye, Blue is probably more in line with the "ugly-cute" attribute, right?
"Bulu..."
At this moment, the little dog made a sound and stretched. Although its eyes were dull and its appearance was quite fierce, it did have a somewhat harmless look.
"You mean, your Blue doesn't eat and only drinks water all day?"
Ye Yinchuan looked at Bru's panel, lost in thought.
Fairy Pokémon: Blue
[Level: 10]
[Attribute: Fairy]
[Gender: Female]
[Racial stats: C-rank (300)]
Individual Value: Grade A (177)
【Characteristic: Intimidate】
[Personality: Relaxed]
[Evolutionary Path: Blue - Blue Emperor]
[Skills: Tackle, Tail Wag, Growl, Demon Mask, Aegis, Thunder Fang, Bite]
Status: Bored
[Trait: None]
Immediately, Ye Yinchuan sensed that something was wrong.
If you only drink water and don't eat, either you'll develop health problems or you'll be in a state of hunger, right?
But this blue one looks perfectly healthy.
What also caught Ye Yinchuan's attention was that Blue was not a Normal type, but a Fairy type.
Is it because it's pink and delicate?
Because of this, it seems reasonable that it would use lightning-powered teeth.
After all, if she's a fairy, knowing a little magic shouldn't be a problem, right?
"Yeah, host, my dog Blue hasn't been eating lately. Look how skinny he's become."
The other party took a picture of Ye Yinchuan, and it was clear that Bru's body did show some ribs, but he wasn't fat.
[How can someone with such a big face be so thin?]
[She is indeed somewhat malnourished.]
Ye Yinchuan asked thoughtfully, "What kind of food do you usually feed them?"
"I feed it Pokémon food, and I also feed it human food."
"Not eating?"
"Yes, it only smells it twice, and at most takes a bite; it doesn't like to eat it."
These words left Ye Yinchuan somewhat dumbfounded.
Although Pokémon can absorb the energy of spirits in nature as a source of energy.
But that stuff doesn't keep you full.
Many of the nutrients and energy that the body needs still need to be obtained through food!
This Bru, can he really not eat and only drink water? Wouldn't he starve to death?
Could it be that Fairy Pokémon have something special about them?
Just as Ye Yinchuan was puzzled, Blue made a sound, seemingly trying to coax its master for something.
Ye Yinchuan listened with the power of "listening heart".
"Hey, what's going on? It's asking you for food this time. You should try feeding it."
Upon hearing this, the other side also brought over a bowl of Pokémon food.
As a result, Bru took a sniff, and Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow, because he heard Bru's inner thoughts, which were clearly saying, "Don't eat this, eat something delicious..."
"Are you sure you only feed it Pokémon food, and not human food? Think carefully, have you been feeding it something else?"
Does this count?
As he spoke, the other person pulled out a bag of freeze-dried Pokémon from somewhere.
The so-called Pokémon freeze-dried food should be called Pokémon freeze-dried food. "Freeze-drying" refers to the technology used to make this food, namely "vacuum freeze-drying technology".
This thing is usually given as a snack to Pokémon.
"..."
Ye Yinchuan fell silent, feeling as if he had vaguely solved the case.
"Girl, do you usually feed Blue this?"
Pokémon have certain pet attributes, and many people not only feed them but also buy Pokémon-specific snacks for their own meals.
However, many of these snacks are unnecessary, or they contain palatability enhancers or other ingredients to make them taste better and more appealing to Pokémon.
To put it bluntly, it's Pokémon's "junk food".
Of course, some freeze-dried foods use high-quality ingredients and are beneficial to Pokémon, but those are often expensive. Also, because they are fed too well, they may affect the Pokémon's normal eating habits at other times.
What's more, when the camera panned, it revealed various Pokémon snacks displayed on the shelf.
While freeze-dried foods may have some health benefits, some of these are pure "junk food," which, aside from being delicious and addictive, are entirely harmful.
"I usually feed him these, just a few snacks."
[I'm speechless. If I ate all these snacks, I wouldn't need to eat meals at all.]
[I knew it! How could you not eat and only drink water? So eating snacks doesn't count as eating a meal?]
Ye Yinchuan finally understood.
"Girl, from now on, just feed your Pokémon food at fixed times and in fixed quantities. Don't feed them any of these random things."
"Look at my Blue, he has a big face and a big frame, but he's really not fat at all, he only weighs about ten pounds..."
Listening to the woman across from him talking to herself, Ye Yinchuan nodded and said:
"I understand, I understand."
Perhaps the other person was responding to the live chat; the older sister didn't respond to Ye Yinchuan's words, so it's unclear whether she heard them or not.
"Look at its ears, they're so big, and this skirt-like hem..."
Ye Yinchuan remained silent, and after his eldest sister finished speaking, he repeated himself:
"Sis, stop feeding it all those random snacks. Wean it off them..."
"Then it won't eat its food."
The eldest sister interrupted Ye Yinchuan again as soon as she opened her mouth.
Ye Yinchuan's expression was a mixture of annoyance and amusement.
I was thinking, didn't you call me to ask questions and seek help?
It's one thing to not listen to people and not let them finish speaking, but what are you still arguing about? And why are you interrupting me?
"Sis, stop talking and shut up. Otherwise, I won't be able to speak."
"Ah... okay, shut your mouth."
In the video, Blue is looking at the freeze-dried snacks, grinning from ear to ear.
This woman simply reached out and pinched Blue's mouth shut.
[666, shut up, shut your dog mouth!]
I don't understand this...
But in any case, after the other party shut Blue's mouth, she stopped talking.
Ye Yinchuan remained calm and continued:
"After you cut off all those freeze-dried snacks and other random things, just follow my instructions. Every morning, noon, and afternoon, put a little Pokémon food in the bowl, leave it there for seven or eight minutes, and if it doesn't eat it, just take it away."
Don't worry about whether it eats or not. Just feed it at the same time, in the same amount, and at the same time every day. If it doesn't eat, take it away; don't leave it there. Make it understand that this food is hard-earned. Do I understand?
The other party finally didn't interrupt, and Ye Yinchuan finished speaking in one breath.
"Okay, I just can't bear to see it go hungry. Look how cute it is, looking at you so pitifully."
After a moment of silence, the other person spoke with a hint of grievance in their voice.
"It won't starve. It'll know to eat when it's hungry, don't worry. Pokémon are very smart."
"Sigh, I bought so much Pokémon food, and it still doesn't like it. Why is it so ungrateful?"
"This isn't Bruha's fault; it's all your fault for spoiling him. But it's alright now; he hasn't developed any problems from the food, not even malnutrition. But who knows what will happen later?"
Ye Yinchuan didn't indulge her either.
[Haha! The streamer's comeback was brilliant!]
Pokémon might be smarter than her...
"I can't bear to part with it. It's so cute. Whenever it acts cute with me, I can't help but feed it treats."
Ye Yinchuan was completely speechless, his expression undisguised.
The cat next to it glanced at the live stream and meowed, as if to say, "Forget it, this human is hopeless!"
Seeing that the streamer remained silent, the other party asked in return:
"Can you really bear to let your adorable child go without eating?"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't hold back any longer, and his fists hardened.
This is the first time I've encountered someone who is so oblivious to human speech, just talking to themselves and stubbornly refusing to listen.
"Come on, I have to make this clear to you today. I have no idea what you're arguing about! I'm asking you, do you have children at home?"
"No, this is my daughter."
The other party pointed at Bru, causing Ye Yinchuan's spell to fail.
"Okay, okay, let's say it's your daughter, your child, a human child. The child doesn't eat proper meals, only junk food like spicy snacks and potato chips. I'm asking you, would you just buy her junk food, or would you supervise her and make her eat three regular meals a day?"
"If it were a child, you wouldn't feed her those kinds of random things..."
"Then why did you feed Blue! Why did you feed your daughter all that junk food, freeze-dried food! Snacks! Why! Tell me why!"
Even Ye Yinchuan, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't help but lose his composure and burst out at the top of his lungs.
"I think those can supplement nutrition and make it healthier."
"You think? That's just what you think! I'm asking you, is it healthy? Didn't you just say it was thin? It's not even eating normal food anymore, what kind of nutrition are you giving it?! Girl!"
"Ah...that might be my mistake."
"So, can you do as I say? Feed them at the same time, at the same place, and in the same amount, and don't do anything else haphazardly?"
"Yes, I think so..."
"If you can, you can; if you can't, you can't! What are you talking about?"
Ye Yinchuan was also a little sorry for Blue, having such a doting and stubborn owner.
If you keep raising it like this, it'll be ruined sooner or later.
Moreover, he realized that the woman opposite him might not understand normal speech, so he had to give her something shocking and speak in a serious manner.
"If you keep feeding him like this, he'll be ruined, I'm telling you."
"Yes, yes! Host, I'll do as you say..."
[Having watched so many live streams, it's rare to see a streamer become this popular; he's usually very gentle.]
[Communication is so difficult, it's suffocating!]
"That's it, sis. Just feed him well. Everything else about your Blue is fine; he's good in appearance and temperament. Cherish him!"
After Ye Yinchuan finished speaking, he disconnected the line.
He encountered a weirdo during his first live stream, leaving him somewhat helpless.
@Unknown Water-type Trainer:
[Hey streamer, I'm here! Do you have time now? Could you help me pick out a mosquito coil tadpole egg?]
Ye Yinchuan hadn't forgotten about this, and he promptly accepted Ah Gui's call.
Yesterday, he told Ah Gui to go down the mountain to the hospital to treat his injuries and come find him at 2 pm today when the broadcast started.
Seeing that the other person was not online, Ye Yinchuan connected with other people first.
Now that the person in question has come knocking, it's natural to prioritize connecting with them.
[Connection successful!]
The camera shows Agui and his two Pokémon, Wartortle and Kingler.
He was already on his way to the mountain lake from yesterday; he would arrive once he passed this high slope ahead.
"Host, I picked up two big-billed finches on my way down the mountain yesterday. I've already cleaned them and sent one to you. Try it, this kind of wild game tastes amazing."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow.
He realized that this Ah Gui was also a foodie.
One after the other, I sent a Savage Bass and a Bigmouth Gryphon...
How could I, a Pokémon enthusiast, possibly eat this?
Tears of sadness and heartache streamed uncontrollably down my cheeks.
[The giant finches that were killed by the Politoed Frog King yesterday? They're definitely inedible. Send them over and I'll process them for you!]
Is it illegal to eat wild big-billed finches?
"Hey! Streamer, and viewers in the live stream, don't worry. I, Gui, am a professional Pokémon trainer. Do you think I'd make a mistake like this? Wild Pokémon are different from domesticated ones. As long as they're not specifically protected, it's no problem!"
[That mosquito coil frog king, if made into roasted bullfrog, wouldn't it smell amazing?]
Seeing the comments, Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated.
This is such a foodie!
That Poliwag is a top-tier, dominant Pokémon.
Who is so extravagant as to use a top-tier Pokémon as food?
Unless it's a Totem Pokémon that's already dead, but even that's extremely rare!
But he didn't take it too seriously.
Because basically every single viewer in the live stream is there.
If you were to encounter the Mosquito Coil Frog King in the wild, it's hard to say who would eat whom...
Even professional trainer Agui was badly injured by the aftershock, let alone being attacked head-on.
Wow! So many mosquito coil tadpole eggs!
[How amazing!]
At this moment, Ah Gui also crossed the high slope and arrived near that mountain lake.
Because it was a little past two in the afternoon, the sun was at its strongest, and the golden sunlight shone on the lake, showing people what true shimmering light really meant.
On the shore and in the shallow water, there were mosquito coil tadpole eggs everywhere!
Clearly, under the leadership of the mosquito coil frog king yesterday, the mosquito coil tadpole swarm held a grand party, and these eggs in front of us are the crystallization of their life and passion.
[Huh, is that slime on the ground?]
This feeling... I just feel... No, I can picture it!
Ah Gui walked towards the lake, each step feeling like he was stepping on slime, his shoes covered in a stringy texture.
Ye Yinchuan didn't say anything. The mosquito coil tadpoles are multiplying and thriving, why are you making such a fuss?
"The anchor is counting on you."
Ah Gui trusted Ye Yinchuan very much.
[Some of these eggs were in water, and some were covered in slime. How could the streamer identify them?]
[This is the first time I've seen mosquito coil tadpole eggs.]
"Okay, point the camera correctly, I'll look at them one by one."
At this moment, in the picture, you can see some aquatic plants floating in the clear water.
What kind of plant is this?
The leaves looked curled and twisted.
"Ah, this... is Asile seaweed!"
Looking at these aquatic plants instantly brought back memories of the Pokémon anime for Ye Yinchuan.
I remember an episode where Ash and Team Rocket all inhaled the paralyzing powder from Vileplume.
Although Xiaoxia eventually found the Azire Seaweed, she shared it with Team Rocket without holding a grudge.
It's a pretty heartwarming story.
In the Pokémon world, there is also a type of seaweed called Azire, which can be used to make medicines containing certain detoxifying components.
In addition, this aquatic plant is also food for many water-type Pokémon, such as Poliwag.
"Ah Gui, could you send me some of these aquatic plants later? I happen to have an aquarium and would like to keep some. I heard that Asilea aquatic plants can purify water."
"No problem, streamer, I'll definitely do this small favor."
Ah Gui agreed very readily.
Ye Yinchuan nodded, no longer distracted, and carefully checked the mosquito coil tadpole eggs on site.
Poliwag's eggs are among the few Pokémon eggs with distinctive features. Their shells are often covered in slime and need to be kept in a moist environment, making them difficult to store dry like regular Pokémon eggs.
Its eggshell is translucent, and you can vaguely see the mosquito coil-like pattern. It is obviously the egg of a mosquito coil tadpole, and it is not easy to fake.
The price of mosquito coil tadpole eggs in the market is neither low nor high.
The price isn't low because storage and transportation are difficult; you have to go to a specialized aquatic egg market to buy them.
The strength is not high because mosquito coil tadpoles are not very strong when they first hatch; they need to evolve at least once to become strong.
The price isn't as high as Squirtle, but it's a good deal compared to Magikarp and Feebas.
of course.
Some mosquito coil tadpole eggs do not have the mosquito coil pattern and may even have very low transparency.
This falls under the category of the Pokémon world, specifically the deceptive aspect of mischief.
Therefore, in the water-type Pokémon egg market, you might encounter blind box eggs, which could potentially hatch into Poliwag...
According to experts, this is why this situation occurs.
It's very likely that Pokémon protect their eggs by making it difficult for enemies to identify what kind of egg it is, and they might even mistake it for one of their own kind, thus preventing the egg from being in danger.
On the contrary, those with obvious characteristics are more likely to become targets of attack!
"This one won't do; it's inherently weak. Let it die on its own!"
"So-so, next one."
"This one does have the 'Water Pulse' move, but its individual values are too low!"
"What a pity, you're timid by nature. Would you like to give it a try?"
As Ye Yinchuan examined the eggs, one by one, the mosquito coil tadpole eggs were released.
【Wow, is the streamer's authentication skill really that amazing?】
I can't even do math problems this fast!
[Kirby's signature skill, the high-speed appraisal technique, what do you think?]
[666, you can even tell what kind of move it is?]
The comments section was filled with amazement at Ye Yinchuan's level of expertise.
"Wait a minute, this one is pretty good."
Finally, Ye Yinchuan stopped on an egg:
"A-rank IVs, Bold nature, and the egg-shaped move 'Mud Throw,' what do you think?"
Ah Gui was overjoyed upon hearing this.
These attributes combined make it a mosquito tadpole with considerable potential.
Grade A individual values, needless to say, are more prestigious than the common Grade B.
A bold personality makes Pokémon even more courageous in battle.
The move "Mud Throw" is a Ground-type move, which means that this Poliwag also has Ground-type talent, which can make up for its blind spots to some extent!
"That's perfect, host! I'll take this one!"
"No need to choose anymore? Maybe there are even better options."
"There are regulations regarding wild Pokémon eggs from various departments. Unless reported under special circumstances, a maximum of two eggs can be taken at a time. If you don't mind, could you take another look for me?"
Ah Gui was being polite, but he wasn't just putting on an act.
"Okay, that's fine. A little extra time won't make a difference."
Ye Yinchuan intended to help this person to the very end.
The main thing is that the benefactor is quite nice and knows how to express gratitude and give back.
"Hey? Look over there, let's zoom in on that spot."
As the camera panned across the room, Ye Yinchuan noticed something unusual.
[Oh? The host's reaction...]
Something's up?
As Ah Gui's camera panned back, Ye Yinchuan's eyes flickered, and his expression became complicated.
"How could this happen? Did the mosquito coil tadpole cheat on its owner, or... did the round tadpole commit adultery?"
Because Ye Yinchuan actually found a round tadpole egg among a pile of mosquito coil tadpole eggs!
Here comes the 12,000-word update! Another day where I managed to avoid writer's block at the end!
(End of this chapter)
