Have You Ever Heard of a Psychic Pony? Damn! A Pokémon Motivator?!

Have You Ever Heard of a Psychic Pony? Damn! A Pokémon Motivator?!

Ye Yinchuan was considering how to phrase it in a way that would be easier for people to accept—or perhaps have a better effect on the live stream.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Ponyta isn't a foal that was just born. Yet it's never grown a Flame Mane, which means it probably never learned any Fire-type Moves either, right?"

Officer Tan froze for a moment and looked toward Ponyta's owner—the Female Police Officer.

The Female Police Officer nodded.

She had been training this Ponyta for some time and had let it interact with other Ponyta, hoping it would learn Fire-type Moves, but nothing had come of it.

"That's right, young man."

Officer Tan nodded in response, then asked in confusion, "So what exactly is going on here?"

Heh, I've heard of White Tigers, but this is my first time hearing about a White Horse!

A Ponyta that can't use Fire-type Moves? Isn't that ridiculous?

Streamer, keep making things up if you've got the nerve!

Ye Yinchuan was also somewhat puzzled at the moment.

Even if this Ponyta couldn't use Fire-type Moves, it clearly knew Confusion. Had it really never shown it before?

But on second thought, Ponyta itself probably didn't even know it was Psychic-type. On top of that, its owner had been guiding it in the direction of Fire-type Moves. If it had never encountered danger, it really might never have used Confusion.

After all, other people couldn't see a Pokémon's status panel.

Some Pokémon might naturally possess a certain move, but if their owners didn't know about it and they themselves had never used it, that move could indeed remain buried.

Professional Pokémon Trainers and breeders didn't just teach Pokémon new moves; sometimes, they also uncovered those "buried" moves!

"Yes, that's how it is. I suspect this Ponyta has mutated into a different type."

Ye Yinchuan slowed his tone and deliberately put on a profound air.

The slightly humble tone, paired with his confident demeanor, somehow made people feel like he really knew what he was talking about.

A type-mutated Pokémon? But shouldn't it have some obvious characteristics?

Could it have mutated into a Normal-type? Wouldn't that make it useless?

Upon hearing this, Officer Tan's expression turned uncertain. He tactically leaned back, then, encouraged by the Female Police Officer's gaze, continued questioning him.

"So what type did it mutate into?"

At the same time, everyone's anticipation and curiosity rose, and Bullet Comments flooded across the Live Stream Chat.

Hurry up, I'm dying here!

Whoa! Streamer, say it already!

My friend's dying wish is to know what type this Ponyta mutated into!

After all, a Pokémon's type was extremely important.

If, as the Bullet Comments suggested, this Ponyta had really mutated into a Normal-type, that would be rather absurd.

Fire-type was already a very good type, with relatively strong combat power.

Normal-type, on the other hand, was just like its name implied—middling and unremarkable.

"Psychic-type. This Ponyta mutated into a Psychic-type!"

As soon as Ye Yinchuan said that—

Officer Tan's pupils contracted, and his gaze toward Ponyta filled with surprise.

It was actually Psychic-type?

Holy shit! A Psychic Pony! Isn't that like upgrading from a bicycle to a motorcycle?

For real?

Clearly, the reactions of both Officer Tan and the Bullet Comments were enough to show just how precious Psychic-type Pokémon were.

Mysterious, powerful, and possessing excellent special attack methods—those were practically synonymous with Psychic-type Pokémon.

In particular, Pokémon with pure Psychic-type were even rarer.

Whether it was Abra, Wobbuffet, or Gardevoir, not only were they extremely difficult to breed artificially, but they were also rarely encountered in the wild—and even when found, they were hard to catch.

For a Ponyta to mutate a Psychic-type attribute was something no one could even dream of.

"Young man, if what you said is true and this Ponyta really mutated a Psychic-type attribute, we'd be overjoyed. But you need to take responsibility for your words. Don't get our hopes up for nothing, alright? This kind of thing is even harder to come across than winning the lottery!"

Understanding what Officer Tan meant, Ye Yinchuan waved a hand.

"Officer Tan, don't worry. I definitely wouldn't talk nonsense. Besides, I wouldn't dare lie to the Pokémon Protection Bureau. Do I still want to keep running this live stream or not?"

Ye Yinchuan stopped keeping everyone in suspense.

"How about this, Officer Tan? Hearing is believing, but seeing is knowing. Try throwing something at this Ponyta and see if it reacts. If I'm not mistaken, this Ponyta naturally mastered Confusion. You just never developed it properly, and it doesn't realize it itself."

You can tell that too?

Streamer, tell us—did you turn on some kind of x-ray cheat?

Officer Tan listened, nodded, and immediately got to work with his colleagues.

They brought over a ping-pong ball.

Ponyta's owner—the female police officer—finally appeared on camera as well. She crouched in front of Ponyta and soothed her.

"Polly, we're going to throw things at you in a moment. You can't dodge, and you can't use your body to knock them away. You need to use your mind to control them. We won't hurt you, so don't be afraid."

This female officer was so pretty.

She really was Ponyta's owner, huh? No wonder she named her Polly!

She spoke so gently. Was she Rabbit Officer?

Some even more outrageous Bullet Comments posted a photo of a chubby young man bent over on the ground, striking a flirtatious pose. He had dressed himself up and edited the picture to look like Ponyta, leaving the comment:

Officer, can I be your little pony too?

The Bullet Comments below immediately exploded:

That burns my eyes...

Sometimes, when I'm online alone, I really want to call the police!

Officer Tan, do something about him!

Officer Tan was reading the Bullet Comments too, and when he saw the picture, he nearly lost it.

"Some of you netizens, don't go too far! Even if you're a Ponyta protected by the Pokémon Protection Law, I still want to whip you!"

Officer Tan, why are you rewarding him?

Stop messing around, I want to see the Psychic Pony!

Over on Officer Tan's side, they were ready as well. They picked up a ping-pong ball and threw it at Ponyta.

Smack!

Faced with the incoming ping-pong ball, Ponyta squinted and instinctively wanted to turn her head away.

But remembering her owner's words, she could only let the ping-pong ball hit her in the face.

This won't work either!

Reporting this—the Pokémon Protection Bureau is breaking the law while enforcing it, leading the way in abusing Ponyta!

Lmao, Officer Tan actually believed him?

"Um..."

Officer Tan looked awkwardly at Ye Yinchuan.

If the Streamer had just been talking nonsense, then the Pokémon Protection Bureau's reputation would be utterly ruined today.

"Don't stop. Keep going."

Ye Yinchuan stared at Ponyta's panel. Her status read: Nervous, Uneasy, Inferior.

He knew that Ponyta might have felt inferior because she had been born different and had never managed to learn Fire-type Moves.

So asking her to use Confusion all at once was bound to be difficult.

Thus, he spoke directly to the camera.

"Polly, all this time, you haven't been able to learn Fire-type Moves. Have you felt inferior and uneasy because of that? Actually, it wasn't your fault. Everyone simply failed to notice what made you special. But that's okay. Now we all know. You're not a useless little pony—you're a special little pony. You are the most precious, most beautiful, most amazing little pony in the world!"

"Remember, your owner is with you! You were already amazing! Now, feel carefully. Can you feel a surge of power rising inside you? Use that power to grab those ping-pong balls being thrown at you, just like grabbing hold of all those doubts and denials—then throw them all back!"

Damn! A Pokémon Motivator?!

Streamer, I'm so fired up I'm rolling all over the floor!

Why does this sound so familiar?

Stop making me laugh!

On camera, ping-pong balls flew toward Ponyta one after another. Her owner stood nearby, cheering her on with a heartbroken expression.

Ponyta seemed to understand Ye Yinchuan's words. Her eyes flickered as she looked at the camera, then at the female police officer beside her. Her gaze gradually became firm.

Every muscle in her body seemed to tense with effort.

In Ye Yinchuan's eyes, Ponyta's status changed as well: Greatly Encouraged.

The next moment, a ring of pink energy emerged around Ponyta's body, clinging closely to her outline.

The ping-pong balls flying toward her were also wrapped in the same energy, hovering before her.

Confusion! That was Confusion!

Without a doubt, that energy was Psychic-type Pokémon Power—Confusion!

Officer Tan and the others on camera all wore stunned, delighted expressions. The female police officer was even more overjoyed, ecstatic beyond measure!

After a brief silence, the Bullet Comments in the Live Stream Chat exploded once more!

Huh? She really can use Confusion?

Psychic Pony! She really is a Psychic Pony!

It really seemed to understand?

Hei Zi, say something! Apologize to the Streamer!

Seeing this, Ye Yinchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it worked.

Otherwise, even if this Ponyta was Psychic-type, if he couldn't prove it, people would only think he was bragging and get slapped in the face.

He hadn't been sure whether this Ponyta could understand him.

But with a never-give-up attitude, his little speech had actually managed to encourage it, allowing it to successfully use the move Confusion!

As for whether it had been a coincidence, or whether what had truly encouraged it was its owner cheering it on, Ye Yinchuan had no way of knowing!

Something came up and delayed me, so the update was late.
