A New Connection! Pichu? Pikachu? A Strange Incident Involving Pokémon?! (Please Follow)

I'd heard of novels being dropped halfway through, but never of Pokémon appraisals being dropped halfway through!

Streamer, if Meowth is gone, you can appraise another one. But you're as cheap as cheap gets!

"Everyone, please understand. We need to protect people's privacy a little. You wouldn't want to identify a Top Quality Pokémon in my stream, then get bagged and kidnapped the next day, would you?"

Seeing that some viewers were complaining because they could not learn the full appraisal results of that Meowth,

Ye Yinchuan casually explained himself.

Some comments were still actively discussing it—

The streamer is the thoroughbred of the appraisal world. I hope the streamer discovers even more Pokémon potential through appraisals! Clap clap clap.jpg

Was the person above doing that on purpose, or by accident?

Every time I watch the streamer's broadcasts, I learn something new. I suspect the streamer is A Certain Research Bigshot's son!

When Ye Yinchuan saw that final comment, he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Because the username of that comment was, incredibly, "A Certain Research Bigshot"!

"Some of you commenters, I'm not even kidding, you're really vicious! One day, Pancham won't have any bamboo shoots left for you to steal!"

Though Ye Yinchuan pointed at the camera and put on an expression that said, "You people are seriously unbelievable,"

he actually quite liked the atmosphere in his stream.

It felt like every netizen was a talent. What they said might not always sound nice, but it was definitely funny!

This kind of harmless teasing was hard not to laugh at, and Ye Yinchuan was happy to engage with them.

"I'm home. I'll just pick someone from the comments for a connection."

After the previous streams, Ye Yinchuan had demonstrated his appraisal skills, and more people wanted to connect with him.

One comment caught Ye Yinchuan's attention—

Husband Not Home: Streamer, I've encountered something really strange recently. I'm scared to be alone at night now. Please, please connect with me!

It was completely different from the tone of the other comments.

"Something strange?"

Ye Yinchuan's curiosity was piqued. "You, then!"

If there really was something unusual going on, then tonight's stream would have its entertainment value.

As a streamer, Ye Yinchuan could not just connect with people to appraise Pokémon. He also had to think about entertainment value at all times. Otherwise, how could he keep these picky viewers around?

There were too many streamers these days. The competition was brutal.

You initiated a connection with user "Husband Not Home."

Connection successful!

As Ye Yinchuan connected with her, a wave of comments swept across the screen.

That name is 666666!

??? Streamer, did you pick her because her husband wasn't home?

Ye Yinchuan ignored those comments and merely smiled knowingly.

What are you thinking? Am I that kind of person? Even if I were, I should be privately messaging her...

"Hello, streamer."

On camera was a young Beauty with an uneasy expression, wearing pajamas, her hair somewhat messy.

Whoa, pretty Sister!

The times are progressing. Young girls love married women!

She looks this good without makeup? Wouldn't she be incredible with it on?

The streamer really knows how to have fun!

Ye Yinchuan was also slightly stunned by Husband Not Home's looks.

But he had read the Spring and Autumn Annals—he was only appreciating her beauty.

"Hello, Little Sister. You said you encountered something strange? Is it related to Pokémon? This is a Pokémon appraisal stream."

Ye Yinchuan got straight to the point, keeping control of the stream's pace while also observing the camera feed.

After all, all kinds of monsters and freaks existed online. What happened with Li Pi and his Sister had made him more cautious.

It was clear that Little Sister was in her own room. It was fairly spacious, though the lighting was not very bright, and the decor seemed somewhat old-fashioned.

"It's related to Pokémon, but it's hard to explain. At first, I thought it was nothing, but over the past two days, I've realized something is more and more wrong. I'm really scared now."

Ye Yinchuan noticed that the Beauty on camera was sitting against the corner of her headboard, holding a small Pokémon in her arms.

"Pichu..."

That Pokémon also seemed frightened, curled up in her owner's arms.

Ye Yinchuan focused his gaze. People could lie, but Pokémon would never lie.

Well, except for one particular talking Meowth.

Little Sister, could you lower the camera a little? I want to take a closer look at your cute Pokémon.

Above, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?

Wow! Pichu is so cute! It looks so squishable!

Yeah, it looks so soft and babyish.

For a moment, Ye Yinchuan suspected that the commenters were talking about two entirely different things, but he had no proof.

Normally, including its diamond-shaped ears that were longer than its head, a Pichu was only around 0.3 meters tall.

This Pichu still looked quite young, so it was even smaller.

Pichu's head was round like a little ball. Its body was pale yellow, while the outer edges of its ears, the ring around its neck, and its tail were black.

Its limbs were short, with two toes on its front paws. Its feet were round like a cat's, though slightly flatter.

Its pitch-black, gleaming eyes, paired with the two cheek-like electric sacs, made Pichu look like a little baby. It was adorable.

Appraisal Eye activated, and this Pichu's panel appeared.

Mouse Pokémon: Pichu

Level: 2

Type: Electric

Gender: Female

Base Stats: D-rank (205)

Individual Value: D-rank (29)

Ability: Static

Nature: Timid

Moves: Tail Whip, Thunder Shock, Charm

Status: Frightened

Evolution Line: Pichu - Pikachu - Raichu

Trait: None

Ye Yinchuan subconsciously glanced over the panel.

Both its Base Stats and Individual Value were low, and it was Timid by Nature...

All he could say was that this Pichu was suited to being a companion in everyday life, not being raised as a battle Pokémon.

Though Little Sister was probably raising it as a pet in the first place.

The streamer's already appraising it?

Appraising? More like reviewing!

What do you think, streamer? B or C? I can't tell through the screen.

Ye Yinchuan glanced at the comments. He could not even be bothered to mock some of them.

He simply said to the camera:

"Beauty, pull your pajamas up a little. Be careful not to expose yourself. Tell me exactly what's going on. I can't understand what you're saying like this."

Wow, streamer, you have no conscience!

You're just online acquaintances. Don't be so controlling!

Little Sister's ability to express herself really is worrying...

"It's like this, streamer. I'm on annual leave from my company, so I moved back to my old house in the countryside to stay for a while. I wanted to relax properly. I bought this little one from a street stall."

Little Sister stroked Pichu's egg-shaped head. "Everything was fine at first, and I got used to life in the countryside. But a few days ago, my Pichu suddenly seemed to get frightened by something. It was trembling all over. But I didn't know what was happening. Then, over the last two days, I saw other Pokémon figures near the house..."

"At first, I thought a Pikachu from somewhere had wandered over and scared my Pichu, so I didn't pay much attention. But yesterday, I saw that Pikachu again. It was still far away, but this time I saw it very clearly. That Pikachu was seriously wrong! Seriously strange, seriously terrifying!"

As she spoke, Little Sister's eyes widened.

It was as though she had remembered something terrifying again, and she hugged the Pichu in her arms even tighter!
