Could the Streamer Have Another Trick? The Official Account Sending Gifts? Wouldn't That Be Inappropriate? (Please Follow)
All rise!
Damn, the streamer really pulled it off!
Could it be that the officials are shills too? (This account has been banned for 24 hours!)
The person upstairs really dared to say that...
While the Bullet Comments flew across the screen.
The Pokémon Protection Bureau where Officer Tan worked had become livelier than ever before.
Whether they were from the publicity department or not, everyone hurried over to see what a Psychic-type Mutated Ponyta looked like.
In the arranged testing area, the Mutated Ponyta was still maintaining its Confusion. Not only was the ping-pong ball that had nearly hit its head suspended in midair, but even the ping-pong balls scattered across the ground earlier were controlled by its Confusion, floating in the air around it.
The Ponyta snorted and let out a neigh, as if saying, That's right, I'm the best little pony!
"Isn't that Chen Xue's Ponyta? Didn't they say it couldn't learn any Fire-type Moves? Has it switched to the Psychic-type department now?"
"So this Ponyta is mutated. No wonder it's so different."
"Did you hear? The person who identified this Ponyta was a new streamer with fewer than five hundred followers!"
"What was his name? I'll go check him out! Was it Snorlax Appraisal?"
For a time, Ye Yinchuan, a Pokémon appraisal streamer who had originally been "exposed as a fraud," instead became a widely known civilian appraisal expert throughout the Pokémon Protection Bureau.
"Chen Xue, we really need to thank this streamer properly. If not for his sharp eye, we truly would have misunderstood and neglected Polly. Who would've thought she was such an impressive little pony?"
Officer Tan had finally recovered from his shock and called over the female police officer named Chen Xue.
"Young man, let me introduce you. This is the Police Flower of our bureau. She's still studying at Pokémon University and is interning here! Once she graduates, she'll become a full officer!"
Was Officer Tan trying to play matchmaker?
666, she already had an official position while still in university? This girl was no ordinary person!
The way she looked at the streamer didn't seem entirely innocent!
Trainee police officer Chen Xue was slightly bashful upon hearing Officer Tan's words, but she still stepped before the camera with poise.
"Hello, Streamer. I'm truly grateful to you. My Ponyta was almost depressed because it couldn't learn Fire-type Moves! You helped me discover its potential! Thank you!"
Ye Yinchuan, however, had some thoughts of his own.
Based on the appearance of a Galarian Ponyta, this Ponyta should eventually grow dreamy, fluffy mane as beautiful as that of an elf.
If that really happened, Chen Xue would probably be even more delighted.
After all, everyone loved beauty, especially girls.
"Your Ponyta doesn't have a mane. Do you mind that?"
Ye Yinchuan examined it. Though the bare Ponyta was snowy white and reasonably good-looking, it still lacked much of the charm of an ordinary Ponyta with its Flame Mane.
Chen Xue's eyes lit up at his words.
"Streamer, do you have a way to make my Ponyta grow a mane?"
Don't, don't do it, Streamer! Don't flirt anymore!
Could the streamer have another trick?
No, why does he know so much?
"Of course. You know about Psychic Gems, right? They can increase the power of a Pokémon's Psychic-type Moves, and they contain powerful Psychic-type energy. If you can get a Psychic Gem for your Ponyta, then I believe there is a fairly good chance that it will grow a mane! And the form of that mane will differ from a Flame Mane. It will definitely surprise you!"
Ye Yinchuan spoke with certainty.
Psychic Gems? Those were rare items!
She already had an official position while still in university. Are you worried she can't get one?
Where did the streamer even learn all this stuff?
At this point, after what had happened earlier, fewer and fewer Bullet Comments questioned Ye Yinchuan.
More of them were simply puzzled by him.
Why did this guy look so young, yet know so much?
In truth, Ye Yinchuan had merely inferred it from the panel information he could see, combined with some Pokémon knowledge from before he transmigrated and the Pokémon knowledge he had acquired afterward.
He was basically eight or nine parts out of ten correct.
"But I can't guarantee it completely. After all, I said there was a fairly good chance, not a one hundred percent chance!"
Rigorous!
The streamer bragged too much and was now trying to cover himself!
"Alright! Streamer, thank you so much! If official accounts were allowed to, I'd definitely send you a few gifts!"
Chen Xue nodded gratefully, her gaze toward Ye Yinchuan carrying a trace of admiration.
She studied at Pokémon University and would work at the Pokémon Protection Bureau after graduation. Her love for Pokémon was obvious, and she cherished the Ponyta she raised even more.
Now that Ye Yinchuan had solved her problem and even provided further help, displaying such extensive Pokémon knowledge, it was hard not to feel respect for him!
The official account wouldn't work, so did that mean they had to do it privately?
Why did I feel like there was a story behind this?
User "Pokémon Protection Bureau Tan Police Officer" sent you the gift "Poké Ball" *3!
"Thank you, Officer Tan, for the gifts! Th-this... is this really appropriate?"
Chen Xue had barely finished speaking. Since the official account supposedly wouldn't work, Officer Tan had immediately sent the gifts from his side, leaving Ye Yinchuan somewhat flattered.
Whoa! He actually sent them?
Wait, isn't it insane for an official account to send gifts?
"Appropriate. Of course it's appropriate."
Officer Tan said with a chuckle, "Don't worry, young man. We have a quota of free gifts provided by the platform. It's only three Poké Balls, just a little show of support—not a big deal. And those Bullet Comments, don't stir things up for no reason!"
So they were free... I'm truly disappointed on the Streamer's behalf! SneakyLaugh.jpg!
The person above is laughing too soon. The official account may have sent them for free, but the Streamer can still cash them out!
"Alright, young man. Your interaction with the female police officer from our bureau ends here. I have a few more questions for you next. I'm sure everyone still has plenty they haven't figured out."
Officer Tan steered the conversation along and signaled for Chen Xue to leave.
Ye Yinchuan's gaze followed her somewhat reluctantly. That beautiful Police Flower had fair skin and a lovely face—who wouldn't want to keep looking?
Just during the time Chen Xue had appeared on camera, the Live Stream Chat had already surpassed five hundred viewers!
"Officer Tan, go ahead and ask."
"The first question is: how did you tell that this Ponyta was mutated, and specifically Psychic-type? The second is: how did you know that using a Psychic Gem could make this Mutated Ponyta grow a mane?"
Upon hearing that, Ye Yinchuan answered without hesitation:
"Actually, I can answer both questions at once."
Officer Tan nodded and looked toward the camera, waiting for Ye Yinchuan's answer.
"Actually, I saw this type of mutated Ponyta in a book. If you look closely, you'll notice that its forehead is slightly raised. A horn would actually grow there. It would also grow a beautiful mane. Unlike Flame Mane, it would be an elf-like, multicolored mane—extremely beautiful."
"As for why this Ponyta's horn hadn't fully grown in and why it didn't have a mane, it must have been because the environment it grew up in lacked sufficient energy. According to what I read in that book, that kind of Mutated Ponyta lived in a forest overflowing with life energy, bathing in that energy generation after generation to develop that way. This Ponyta must have lacked energy, which caused some developmental delays. That's why I said that replenishing its energy with a Psychic Gem would give it a chance to grow a beautiful mane!"
There's really a book like that?
No wonder. He'd basically gotten the actual test questions in advance!
"What's the name of that book you mentioned?"
"I think it was called... Galarian Travels!"
"Galar? I've never heard of someone by that name. But now I understand—people really do need to read more books. In any case, thank you, young man. I've really learned something today. They say true experts are found among ordinary people, and you're an expert among Pokémon appraisal Streamers!"
Ye Yinchuan muttered inwardly, Of course you haven't heard of anyone by that name. Galar is the name of a region!
As Officer Tan spoke, he gave a thumbs-up.
"You're too kind, Officer Tan. Your work is very demanding too. Your educational outreach today has benefited me greatly!"
Ye Yinchuan replied with a chuckle as well.
That mutual flattery wasn't obvious at all!
The Streamer is amazing!
After exchanging just a few words, Officer Tan ended the call.
Watching Officer Tan leave the Live Stream Chat, Ye Yinchuan let out a breath of relief. He had finally adapted to the situation and thoroughly seized this wave of traffic!
"Come on, let's randomly pick a lucky viewer for a free call!"
Ye Yinchuan took a sip of water and continued his appraisal stream!
I had something to do today and was in a rush, so this chapter was a little rushed! Please forgive me. Tomorrow, we'll appraise a new Pokémon!
