Chapter 36 The Mimic's Habits: Its Unique "Painted Skin" Characteristics! You call this misunderstanding? (Please continue reading!)
Your friend is a bit too talkative; he keeps spilling out all sorts of research findings.
Stop pretending, host. The *Journey to Galilee* you mentioned last time is nowhere to be found!
[Stop talking, everyone! I want to hear the streamer brag!]
"I'm not an expert in this field, so please don't be offended if I'm wrong."
"As mentioned earlier, Mimikyu's biggest characteristic is that it likes to imitate Pikachu. It usually uses sticks and cloth, and paints facial features to dress itself up as Pikachu."
"Look closely at the picture. Mimikyu's tail is actually fake; it's just wood."
[It's all pixelated, I can't see anything!]
[Super admin, stop this! If you don't take down this account, you're out of luck!] (This user has been banned for 365 days)
Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan was sweating profusely; the super moderator was still watching from inside the room!
At this moment.
In the super administrator's office of the "Douyin" live streaming platform.
A moderator shouted, "Chao! Supervisor, come quick! What do you think we should do about this live stream?"
The supervisor quickly came over, examined it carefully, and his brow furrowed slightly.
"Are you sure this isn't a scripted performance?"
"It shouldn't be. Did you see it? This thing really looks like a Pokémon. And this streamer, the Dream Protection Bureau just connected with him before and even sent him a gift... He seems to have some powerful connections."
The super duct lowered its volume.
"Since it's a Pokémon livestream, it's normal content. So, keep the video quality unchanged. Then, give viewers a pop-up option to confirm they don't have heart conditions or anything, agree to a liability waiver, and then they can see the original video."
"Okay. Boss, this streamer is interesting. Shouldn't we give him more traffic support? I think he has the potential to be a top streamer!"
"This isn't under our department's jurisdiction. If he can consistently produce high-quality content, he'll become popular sooner or later."
After the supervisor finished speaking, he left.
As the person in charge of the live streaming super moderator, he is very busy.
Moreover, with high-quality new streamers emerging every day, people naturally won't pay much attention to a small streamer, even if their data is quite good.
If it's something like a beautiful woman dancing with a Pokémon that's bordering on something more, he might be doing it out of personal interest... cough, job duties, but he should take a closer look to see if it involves any violations.
[It's ready to watch!]
[Although it's dark, the streamer is right!]
With the backend operations of the super moderators, the viewers in the live stream were finally able to see Mimikyu's situation clearly.
Ye Yinchuan's gaze was also fixed on the Mimikyu and the protruding panel.
Mimikyu: The Pokémon with Painted Skin
[Level: 6]
【Attributes: Ghost, Fairy】
[Gender: Male]
[Racial stats: B-rank (476)]
Individual Value: Grade A (139)
【Characteristic: Disguise】
[Character: Naive]
[Skills: Grab, Leap, Startle, Imitate, Shadow Strike]
[Status: Sadness, Anxiety]
[Evolutionary Path: None]
It has to be said that Mimikyu's base stats are quite impressive, at 476 points, which is close to the upper limit of B-rank and will soon reach A-rank.
The final evolved form of the starter Pokémon only has a base stat total of 525.
There's also this skill, and the unique "Painted Skin" characteristic.
Ye Yinchuan was a little envious. If he could capture this Mimikyu, not to mention being invincible in the early stages, with proper training, it would have a great chance to become a professional trainer.
"Host, why does Mimikyu like to imitate Pikachu?"
The question from the other end brought Ye Yinchuan back to reality.
"Good question. Why does Mimikyu like to imitate Pikachu? There are currently two possible explanations. One is that Mimikyu is a ghost formed from the resentment of abandoned Pokémon after they died, so it desperately craves people's affection. And since Pikachu is so popular, it wants to be as popular as Pikachu, so it tries to gain people's affection by imitating Pikachu."
"Ah, it feels so pitiful..."
[Tsk tsk, clearly trying to be liked, but instead being feared, how pitiful!]
Is this what they call "Dong Shi imitating Xi Shi" (a Chinese idiom meaning to imitate someone poorly)?
Why does this feel more like a ghost story or a ghost painting?
"Another explanation is that Mimikyu is a naturally born fairy, but it is very close to humans and is particularly prone to loneliness. It also dresses up as Pikachu because Pikachu is so popular. The reasoning is pretty much the same."
"I don't find it scary anymore; it's such a poor little thing. Can I go outside and touch it?"
The young lady seemed much calmer.
"Don't rush. After all, it's a Ghost-type Pokémon, and it's wild, so there's some danger involved."
Even ordinary starter Pokémon have the ability to hurt people, let alone one with a base stat total of 476?
[Miss, don't interrupt, let the streamer speak!]
Why wear sunglasses?
Seeing the high level of enthusiasm for Mimikyu in the comments, Ye Yinchuan continued to provide further explanation:
"Based on what I just said, Mimikyu finds its original form terrifying and doesn't want anyone to see it. Therefore, if someone tries to see what's inside, it will react defensively, attack, and even try to kill the person..."
"I made the girl wear sunglasses so that Mimikyu would think she couldn't see. After all, I wasn't sure if the Mimikyu's skin was torn. As it turns out, I was right; its 'neck' was broken, and that piece of fabric was torn."
Upon hearing this, the other party turned pale:
"Oh? How scary."
Blanching? Is that dangerous?
[Hey anchor, what if the sunglasses don't work?]
"If sunglasses aren't working, then hurry up and close the door, or are you just waiting to die?"
Just then, Mimikyu, who was crying in front of the mirror, seemed to notice the presence of the young lady.
It turned around to look at the other person, then suddenly hid behind the mirror.
"It's because it's afraid you'll find out. It's imitating Pikachu, after all, its 'neck' is broken, which makes it very obvious."
"Host, what should I do now?"
"Go find a piece of cloth, and preferably a needle and thread. If you have a wooden stick, that would be even better."
Ye Yinchuan thought for a moment and said.
"I have fabric, but I'll have to look for needles and thread. As for wooden sticks... I only have wooden hangers, is that alright?"
"Okay. Just be careful not to let Pichu get out. Mimikyu is easily jealous of Pikachu, and so is Pichu."
After saying that her husband wasn't home, she started to take action as Ye Yinchuan had instructed.
"Hey streamer, I'm coming!"
The young woman, carrying what she had found, tiptoed open the door and, as Ye Yinchuan had instructed, placed everything on the ground some distance from Mimi Hill.
It's like feeding stray cats; if you get too close, you might get scratched, so you can only leave the food nearby.
"Pikachu..."
The mythical creature poked half its body out, cautiously observed for a moment, then dashed out, grabbed all the things, and ran to the mirror.
"Is it... repairing its own skin?"
Mimikyu then emerged from beneath the tattered cloth, extending its shadow-like "hand."
First, the wooden hanger was disassembled, suitable pieces of wood were taken out and stuffed into the broken parts to support Pikachu's "head" again.
Then, using needle and thread, they sewed new fabric onto the torn areas.
This way, the ghost inside won't be exposed.
"Pikachu!"
After finishing the repairs, Mimikyu looked at herself in the mirror and finally stopped crying.
Ye Yinchuan noticed that the status on its panel had changed to "Happy, Thankful".
"It's all set. You've fixed Mimikyu's hide, so it won't hurt you now. Go turn on a light."
Snapped.
As the room lights up, Mimikyu's appearance is fully revealed.
"Are those two little black dots on the belly actually the eyes of the main body? They're actually quite cute."
The young woman was sizing up the mysterious hill.
Mimikyu also sensed that the other party was not afraid of her, so she cautiously approached.
"May I touch it?"
"Can."
After receiving Ye Yinchuan's reply, the young lady reached out and patted Mimikyu's head:
"It feels...so special. It's so empty, yet it feels real. This child really needs love."
Wow, it looks like they can be subdued already!
This is a brand new Pokémon, very valuable for research!
[Host, does Mimikyu have any special abilities?]
"Mimimitsu's special characteristic is 'mask disguise.' The suit it creates possesses a magical power, allowing it to take damage in Mimikyu's place. However, this only works if the suit is intact."
[I don't understand, but it sounds impressive!]
You call this "not knowing enough"? You could publish a paper on this!
"Ah, Mimikyu ran away..."
The young woman seemed somewhat lost and dejected.
"It is a wild Pokémon after all, but it will probably come back again."
Ye Yinchuan comforted him.
"Thank you so much, streamer! Thanks to you, I'm not scared at all now. My problem is solved, so you can continue your stream!"
As they were talking, the other party disconnected the call and sent a gift.
"Thank you so much for the six Poké Balls! You're beautiful and generous!"
Seeing the gift effect pop up on the screen, Ye Yinchuan perked up and became enthusiastic.
"We still have time tonight, so please welcome the next Pokémon appraiser! This is the Snorlax Pokémon Appraisal Livestream, specializing in... free appraisal of all kinds of Pokémon! There's no Pokémon that the streamer can't appraise!"
Ahem... I was trying to keep it to 2 words, but I almost reached 3. I just love writing, there's no stopping me! Okay, the main problem is that if I don't finish this chapter about Mimikyu soon, it'll really drag on! I'll be identifying a new Pokémon tomorrow!
