Snorlax's Mukbang and Defense Curl Showcase! You Want Me to Appraise a Meowth? (Please Follow)

Snorlax's Mukbang and "Defense Curl" Showcase! You Want Me to Appraise a Meowth? (Please Follow)

"You're raising a Snorlax? No wonder you bought a hundred pounds of food. That should last a week, right? Good thing you came to pick it up yourself, or I'd have had to deliver it to your door."

The Innkeeper at Doduo Post Station checked Ye Yinchuan's pickup code.

"You're a streamer too? More and more young people are streaming these days. You specialize in streaming Snorlax, right? That's unusual, but watching pretty girls dance suggestively with Pokémon is still more interesting."

Hearing the innkeeper's rambling, Ye Yinchuan's expression turned a little strange.

A week? One meal!

As for the latter kind of stream, Ye Yinchuan occasionally liked watching those too!

"Yeah, I'm doing a mukbang today. Just streaming for fun."

Ye Yinchuan didn't bother arguing with the innkeeper. There was no point in saying more.

"Snorlax, let's carry the food outside. No, you can't eat at someone else's place."

The hundred pounds of Pokémon Intermediate Ration had been bundled together.

Ye Yinchuan had originally planned to split it up and share the load with Snorlax.

But Snorlax simply picked up all hundred pounds of food and eagerly headed for the door.

"Ka-um!"

Hearing Snorlax's happy cry at the prospect of eating, Ye Yinchuan smiled indulgently.

The hospital examination had shown that there was nothing wrong at all; they had only disinfected the wound.

The gentle female Pokémon doctor had said that if they'd come any later, the wound would have healed on its own!

So cute, so healing! It would be even better if it were a little chubbier.

Get Snorlax a job already. I can't stand seeing it live so carefree!

Streamer, what's going on today? Are you still doing free call-ins?

"I am! Later."

Ye Yinchuan replied to the Bullet Comments.

"Innkeeper, can we borrow the space outside your door? My Snorlax needs to eat."

"Go ahead, go ahead. What's the big deal? Look how hungry the kid is—it's gotten so skinny."

Snorlax set the hundred pounds of intermediate ration on the ground, tore open the packaging with its claws, and started wolfing it down in huge mouthfuls.

It's eating so deliciously that I want to sneak some of my Meowth's Pokémon Food!

I'm dying, my Poochyena heard that sound and ran over to guard its dog bowl!

Over there, the innkeeper had just lit a cigarette when his brows slowly furrowed. He realized something was off.

Before even a quarter of his cigarette had burned away, Snorlax had already devoured two twenty-pound bags of Pokémon Food. It even turned the bags upside down and poured the remaining bits into its mouth, determined not to leave behind a single pellet!

By the time Snorlax finished all hundred pounds of food, the innkeeper's cigarette had not even burned halfway down.

Ye Yinchuan turned the camera, catching the innkeeper's slightly terrified and bewildered expression.

Look how badly the innkeeper got scared. Anyone who didn't know better would think Snorlax was about to eat him!

He's probably seeing a Snorlax eat for the first time. The first time I saw it, I was just as shocked!

Streamer, you're really willing to spend money. You buy intermediate ration for Snorlax? The people I've seen raising them all feed them leftovers and pig slop!

Did you think a big-eater Pokémon was just a joke?

It wasn't just the innkeeper. Other passersby nearby also witnessed Snorlax's "savage" eating.

"Mom, I want to raise a Snorlax too!"

A child blurted out.

Then his mother covered his eyes and dragged him away.

"Sweetie, that's not something ordinary people can raise."

The innkeeper picked up his cigarette and took a deep drag. The burning tobacco glowed bright red, and no one knew what he was thinking.

When he saw Ye Yinchuan looking for somewhere to throw away the packaging, he hurriedly said:

"Just leave it here, kid."

Seeing Ye Yinchuan's slightly thin frame and plain clothes, the innkeeper immediately imagined the child scrimping and saving to raise Snorlax.

Ye Yinchuan felt like the innkeeper might have misunderstood something.

But if you weren't going to say it, neither was he.

Ms. Carrot: Streamer, tell us in detail. What exactly happened today? I'm curious.

"Sigh, I got rammed by a Tauros today and nearly died. Luckily, my Snorlax protected me. Look at its injuries."

Ye Yinchuan showed the Live Stream Chat viewers.

"Huh? You got rammed by a Tauros today?"

The cigarette butt in the innkeeper's hand slipped through his fingers, hitting the ground and scattering sparks.

His conscience was being put on trial. The Pokémon Food had actually arrived that morning, but because it was so heavy, he had decided to wait for the package's owner to come collect it himself.

Could it be that this kid had met with disaster on his way here to pick up his package?

The innkeeper secretly swore that if this person had another package in the future, he would definitely deliver it right away.

Aww, poor Snorlax.

Wow, who was so lacking in civic responsibility that they let a Tauros loose in a Residential Area?

Nice, nice! Snorlax wasn't raised for nothing!

User "Ms. Carrot" sent a gift: Poké Ball *1!

Gift message: Wuwuwu, Streamer, use this to give Snorlax some extra nutrition!

"It's fine, boss. It was a close call, but nothing serious. Otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here."

Ye Yinchuan turned back to explain, then hurriedly replied to the Bullet Comments.

"Don't worry, that person was already punished by the Pokémon Center and paid me a thousand in compensation."

"Thank you, Ms. Carrot, for the Poké Ball gift. I'll thank Snorlax on its behalf!"

Haha, that's great!

I'll send a little gift too, Streamer. Hope you don't mind!

"Thank you, everyone. No matter how small the gift, it's still support!"

After watching for a while, the innkeeper said in surprise, "Oh? Your Live Stream Chat's pretty popular. So many people are sending gifts too. You're almost at three hundred followers. Snorlax Appraisal... I followed you! You specialize in appraising Pokémon? You're impressive, kid!"

The innkeeper had gained a new respect for Ye Yinchuan.

The viewers in the Live Stream Chat had seen and heard it all, and Bullet Comments immediately began flooding in.

The boss clearly hasn't watched the Streamer before. That Electric Web Weedle last time really turned out to be a Hidden Gem!

Kid? You got the seniority wrong! We all call him Brother Snorlax!

Beauty streams with suggestive dancing may look good, but we're tired of them. Snorlax Appraisal is way better!

Seeing those Bullet Comments, the innkeeper was dumbfounded.

Although there were still fewer than two hundred viewers in the Live Stream Chat, the activity and loyalty of these followers already had the bearing of a major streamer's audience!

"Damn, I really ought to call you Big Brother. Your stream's got some serious potential!"

The innkeeper exclaimed in admiration.

"Just call me kid, don't listen to the Bullet Comments spouting nonsense. You're my big brother! Everyone who comes to my Live Stream Chat is my big brother or big sister!"

Ye Yinchuan gave a high-EQ reply.

"Alright, alright, kid. If you have any packages in the future, I'll prioritize delivering them to you. You can even bring your Snorlax here and let it eat in my shop!"

The innkeeper had never expected that this young man, who only came by a few times a year, was actually a fairly popular rookie streamer. He couldn't help wanting to build a closer relationship.

"Then thanks, Big Brother."

Ye Yinchuan smiled, then said to the Live Stream Chat viewers, "My Snorlax actually gained something from this misfortune today. When it got hit, it comprehended a new Move, which was why it didn't suffer any serious injuries. I'm not bragging—when that Tauros charged into it, the Tauros itself got flipped over. The base of its horns was smashed bloody!"

Ye Yinchuan stirred up the atmosphere in the Live Stream Chat.

As a streamer, knowing how to tell a story was also very important.

What happened? What Move was it?

Streamer, you mentioned it earlier. Show us!

"It's not some especially powerful Move. It's just 'Defense Curl.'"

Ye Yinchuan looked at the Move on Snorlax's panel, still feeling delighted.

In this Pokémon World, Moves were not as easy to obtain as they were in the games. It was more like the Pokémon anime—you had to meet certain conditions or actively learn them.

Move: Defense Curl

Curl the body into a ball and release Pokémon Power, temporarily increasing one's own Defense!

In the Pokémon games, Defense Curl simply raised Defense by one stage.

But in this Pokémon World, it had become an active defensive Move.

There were still some slight differences.

"Come on, Snorlax. Show everyone."

Ye Yinchuan had Snorlax use Defense Curl.

Snorlax's body curled into a ball, and grayish-blue Pokémon Power flowed around it once more.

Ye Yinchuan reached out and pressed against it. The Pokémon Power felt like a somewhat soft wall—hard, yet elastic.

Not only could it withstand attacks, it could also dissipate the force behind them.

Pretty impressive. No wonder Snorlax had only suffered such minor injuries after being rammed by Tauros.

Haha, that guy deserved it. He let his Tauros run wild in the Residential Area, and now he had to pay compensation after his own Tauros got hurt!

"Amazing, amazing! Snorlax is the best!"

Ye Yinchuan did not forget to praise his own Snorlax.

Snorlax grinned foolishly and scratched its head, a little embarrassed by the praise.

But inwardly, it secretly resolved to work even harder at eating, become even stronger, and earn more praise from its owner!

Snorlax not only had to protect its owner, but also become its owner's pride!

After showing off Snorlax's Move, Ye Yinchuan planned to head home first before starting today's Pokémon appraisal.

After all, that was the main content of his stream. Snorlax's eating stream and Move demonstration had merely been a small interlude.

"Streamer, this is a rare opportunity. I'd like to ask you to appraise a Meowth for me. Would that be convenient?"

Seeing that Ye Yinchuan was about to leave, the Innkeeper could not help asking.

"I know the rules. I won't make you do it for nothing—just tell me how many gifts I need to send!"

The Innkeeper said he understood, but clearly he didn't. Streamers did appraisals for free.

Upstairs, you don't understand. Cutting in line and getting an on-site appraisal cost extra!

This Innkeeper is pretty polite. Streamer, help him appraise it. I want to see the Meowth too!

Seeing the Innkeeper's attitude and the reaction from the Bullet Comments, Ye Yinchuan nodded.

"Sure, I can take a look. No charge. It's free."

"Then thank you!"

The Innkeeper hurried to the back and brought out a Breeding Box. Inside was a Meowth.

"This Meowth was originally bought online by one of my customers. But after raising it for a few days, he suddenly said he didn't want it anymore and claimed there was something wrong with it. The seller said the return period had passed and refused to take it back unless the customer paid the shipping fee. So the Meowth was left here with me. I contacted the customer, but he doesn't care either. What a mess."

The Innkeeper sighed.

"I just want you to help appraise it and see what exactly is going on with this Meowth. If there's nothing wrong with it, I plan to give it to my niece. If there is something wrong, I'll send it to a rescue station."

Ye Yinchuan's expression shifted slightly at this.

In the Pokémon World, Meowth were not valuable.

Only those that knew Pay Day, or evolved into Persian, would see their value rise sharply.

After all, not every Meowth could walk upright and talk.

Thinking of Team Rocket's Meowth in the anime, that was easy enough to understand.

If Meowth were really so valuable, how could one end up wandering the streets?

For sellers, transporting living creatures was costly, and any problems that arose were troublesome.

So if the distance was great, the cost of live transport might be higher than the Meowth's own value.

And for customers, raising Pokémon required both time and money, yet they were unwilling to even pay the shipping fee for a Meowth they no longer intended to keep!

This was far from an isolated case. Otherwise, there would not be so many abandoned Pokémon.

This Meowth is so pitiful. Can I adopt it for free?

I heard Meowth have unpredictable Natures. Maybe that person never looked into it. But just leaving it there and ignoring it is way too irresponsible.

Surely nobody thinks every Meowth knows Pay Day, right?
