Weedle That Mastered Electric Web? No Way! My Pikachu Hasn't Even Learned It! (Please Follow)

Damn, nobody shows off quite like you do.

Why was Miltank flying through the sky? Because the streamer was bragging from the ground!

Don't panic, everyone. The streamer must have appraised something real!

Ye Yinchuan suddenly caught sight of a familiar username among the bullet comments: "Spring Blooms."

They were an old fan who had appeared in the previous live stream. They asked:

How do I send gifts to the streamer? Please teach me! Fist Fist Fist.jpg

Seeing this, Ye Yinchuan's heart stirred.

Judging from Spring Blooms' comment, he was probably rather old.

Sure enough, when Ye Yinchuan opened his user profile, he found an energetic, white-haired old man. All the videos he posted showed him exercising in the park with his Pokémon.

"Grandpa Spring Blooms, thank you so much for your kindness. Just coming to my live stream and watching me is already the greatest support you can give me. There's no need for gifts—you should save the money for yourself!"

At that moment, other bullet comments said:

Giving gifts isn't worth it. The platform takes a cut anyway—might as well transfer money directly to the streamer!

Grandpa, do you need a grandson?

Officer Tan, who was watching the live stream, was also moved as he spoke to the viewers in his own live stream chat.

"Ah, this young man's live stream is always full of surprises. He handled today's matter exceptionally well. Even I might not have reacted in time!"

With that, Officer Tan made up his mind.

"Today, I'll send the streamer another round of gifts in my personal capacity! It's not much, just a small token of appreciation!"

User "Dream Protection Bureau Tan" sent the gift "Poké Ball" *2!

"Thank you, Officer Tan, for the Poké Ball gifts!"

Ye Yinchuan was still a little bewildered. Why had Officer Tan sent gifts again?

Immediately afterward, a huge wave of new viewers flooded into the live stream chat!

We came from Officer Tan's stream! We have to support this streamer!

If even Officer Tan approves of him, I can't say much else, but his character definitely checks out!

Brothers, hit that follow button! Don't let a streamer with a conscience down!

The sudden influx of traffic pushed Ye Yinchuan's live stream past five hundred viewers once more, and the number was still rising!

User "Good People Get Good Rewards" sent the gift: Poké Ball *1!

User "Snorlax Appraisal Iron Fan" sent the gift: Super Potion *1!

User "How to Get to Erxian Bridge" sent the gift: Rare Candy *3!

"Wow, everyone... honestly, this really caught me off guard. Thank you all so much for your support!"

Ye Yinchuan clasped his hands together, his expression sincere as he bowed toward the camera to express his gratitude to the viewers.

User "Spring Blooms" sent the gift: Master Ball *1!

"Wow, Grandpa Spring Blooms, this gift is far too valuable! Please request a refund—I really can't accept something like this!"

Ye Yinchuan was truly having a hard time holding himself together.

He was genuinely worried that accepting such an expensive gift from an elderly man might affect his life.

Spring Blooms: A positive streamer deserves support! I have a pension, so don't worry, streamer! Sunshine Sunshine Sunshine.jpg

A flood of bullet comments swept through the live stream chat as well:

I'm not jealous at all when someone like this streamer makes money! He deserves it!

Open your mind up—I'm sending a gift too!

Forget that for now. Can you talk about the Weedle first?

"Alright! Then let me thank everyone again! Let's get back to the Weedle!"

Ye Yinchuan's gaze fell once more upon that Weedle's panel.

This Weedle truly was extraordinary.

Originally, Ye Yinchuan had only intended to pick the best of a bad bunch, but he had never expected to find a Weedle that could be considered a tiny gem.

Bug Pokémon: Weedle Level: 5 Type: Bug Gender: Female Base Stats: D-Rank (195) Individual Value: A-Rank (171)

Ability: Shield Dust

Nature: Modest

Moves: Tackle, String Shot, Electric Web

Status: Hungry, Aggressive

Evolution Line: Weedle - Metapod - Butterfree

Although this Weedle's A-Rank Individual Value had some noteworthy points, that was not the real reason Ye Yinchuan chose it.

After all, Weedle's Base Stats were far too low, and they were so numerous as to be everywhere. He had already seen more than one with A-Rank Individual Values.

The real reason Ye Yinchuan chose it was that this Weedle had not only mastered String Shot, but also an advanced String Shot move!

That was Electric Web!

Electric Web was an Electric-type move. Not only was its power decent, but it could also restrict the opponent's movements.

Against a weak opponent, it might even shock them so badly that they could barely move.

Even stronger opponents would be affected by Electric Web, their speed in actual combat greatly reduced.

With this move, even during its frail early stage, this Weedle could perform remarkably well in real combat.

Of course, although Electric Web was an Electric-type move—

Based on Ye Yinchuan's understanding of Pokémon before he transmigrated, not every Electric-type Pokémon could learn Electric Web, nor were all Pokémon capable of learning Electric Web necessarily Electric-type.

In the Pokémon games, Weedle could also learn Electric Web through a Move Tutor.

So, while it was a little absurd for a Weedle to know an Electric-type move, Ye Yinchuan was not overly surprised.

"Maybe bioelectricity? Perhaps the reason this Weedle is so skinny is that all the nutrients it consumes are converted into bioelectricity, or perhaps stored as special threads for Electric Web..."

Ye Yinchuan made a brief guess while considering how he should explain this to the viewers later.

He wondered how people in this Pokémon World viewed a Weedle that could use Electric Web.

The matter of the Galarian Ponyta had also made Ye Yinchuan realize something.

That was, while the Pokémon games, Pokémon anime, and the Pokémon World he now lived in shared many things in common, each of them inevitably had its own differences.

Therefore, he needed to adapt to local conditions and maintain both curiosity and reverence toward this Pokémon World.

Streamer, this Weedle is skinny enough to waste away. Are you sure it isn't sick?

Talk about the Weedle already! I'm here for the appraisal!

Why did you pick this one of all things? Streamer, hurry up and explain!

Faced with the Bullet Comments' eager questions, Ye Yinchuan paused before finally explaining:

"This Weedle's Individual Value is quite good. And from what I've observed, it should have mastered Electric Web. A considerable portion of the nutrients it consumes has likely been converted into bioelectricity, or special electric threads, which is why it's so skinny!"

As soon as Ye Yinchuan said that, the Live Stream Chat erupted again, just as expected.

Huh? Is Weedle an Electric-type Pokémon?

Could it be another mutation? Did the Streamer stumble into a nest of Mutated Pokémon?

Electric Web? No way! My Pikachu hasn't even learned that!

Absurd! This is beyond absurd!

Yesterday's plot was a little controversial. The protagonist's abilities really are limited, and he even gave away a Starter Pokémon, so it's hard to evaluate. This novel leans more toward relaxed daily life, so the overall tone will be a little warmer. Also, the Siblings and the Weedle have been written about for several chapters now, and I'll make sure to wrap that up as soon as possible. Originally, I wanted each chapter to have a bit more content, quickly finishing a Pokémon appraisal like in the earlier plotlines, but I've been busy lately and have limited energy, so I can only keep each chapter at a little over 2,000 words. Also, if you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment. I'll read them seriously. Lastly, Please Follow this new book! As long as it doesn't flop into a ditch, I definitely won't abandon it! Thank you, everyone!
