The Streamer Invented Mimikyu! A Dangerous Ghost or a Mysterious Pokémon? (Please Follow)

That sound was way too terrifying, wasn't it?

Damn! I didn't dare look directly at my Pikachu anymore!

Streamer, don't hang up the call! Something's seriously wrong!

I'm out, I'm out! I don't dare watch anymore!

The barrage in Ye Yinchuan's livestream reached its peak for the day following those cries that sounded suspiciously like Pikachu's.

Though many people were shouting "I'm scared" and "I'm not watching anymore," the number of viewers in Ye Yinchuan's livestream kept rising, once again breaking past five hundred.

The reason supernatural things drew so much discussion was that they made people both afraid and curious.

And right now, anyone who entered Ye Yinchuan's livestream couldn't help wanting to know what the hell that thing was.

"Alright! Streamer, I believe you! I'll listen to you!"

Little Sister's face in the camera had gone pale, and her voice trembled, but there was a resolute look in her eyes.

"Today, I'm definitely finding out what that thing is! If I die, I die!"

Don't say that!

Has Little Sister gone dark?

She's been pushed too far!

Streamer, if something really happens, you're fully responsible!

"Don't worry. I'm here."

Ye Yinchuan's calm tone gave Little Sister in the camera a strange sense of reassurance.

The reason he could be so certain—

was that, as a transmigrator, Ye Yinchuan possessed Pokémon knowledge, along with the information he had just verified.

"Do you have sunglasses in your room? Or something that can cover your eyes?"

"Yes, let me look..."

"Put them on."

On the other end of the camera, she quickly found a pair of sunglasses.

Delicate girls all needed sun protection, and sunglasses were standard equipment for going out.

"You know where the mirrors in your house are, right?"

"Mm... I roughly remember."

"Alright. Open the door a crack and point your phone toward the mirror. Keep the noise down."

"Huh?"

"Do as I say. That's a Pokémon. As long as it's a Pokémon, there's nothing I can't identify."

"Oh, and put Pichu down first."

666, what a domineering streamer!

With all these fancy steps, are you sure this isn't some exorcism ritual?

Sometimes I really want to crack open the streamer's head and see whether it's built differently from everyone else's!

Everyone, run! He's about to show off again!

Don't do it! What if this turns into The Ring? No one in the livestream will get away!

"Okay."

Compared to the barrage, Little Sister trusted the streamer more.

She put on the sunglasses, settled Pichu on the bed, then cautiously moved toward the door.

The crying of that suspected Pikachu ghost continued intermittently. As she drew closer, it became clearer and clearer, sending chills all over her body.

The door opened slightly, and she pushed her phone's camera through the gap.

"Streamer, how is it now?"

Little Sister didn't dare look outside, nor could she see the barrage, so she could only ask.

"It's fine. We're good. Just hold that position for now."

Ye Yinchuan's voice was gentle.

Husband Not Home didn't know that the livestream barrage was currently going insane.

I'm dying! I'm dying! I'm going to be scared to death!

Streamer, are you sure that's a Pokémon? Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open!

Its head has fallen off to one side! My heart's about to stop beating!

At this moment, the livestream showed the living room.

The lights in the living room were off, leaving it pitch-dark. Yet where the mirror stood, they could see the figure of a "Pikachu." Its neck seemed to have snapped, and its head lay slumped to one side.

Even stranger, it was holding its head up with one hand while trembling and crying.

And that hand looked less like a hand than a ghostly mass of black shadow...

Warning! The current livestream appears to contain a large amount of horror content! Please comply with platform rules to avoid having your livestream banned!

Seeing the notification, Ye Yinchuan felt helpless.

"Super Admin, don't ban my livestream! This is a normal Pokémon identification session! Let me explain!"

Haha! The streamer messed around too much and got noticed by the Super Admin!

It really is a bit much. What if it scares old people or children?

A few seconds after the notice appeared, Ye Yinchuan noticed that the "terrifying" thing in the livestream had suddenly been blurred out.

What kind of privilege is that? The Super Admin censored it for you on the spot?

Do you even know who the streamer is? An undercover agent for the Dream Protection Bureau, friend of the rich, son of a research big shot...

Seeing the barrage praising him, Ye Yinchuan really wanted to say:

"Stop blowing Little Conch-level bullshit. Keep blowing, and even seagulls will crash!"

But when the words reached his lips, they became, "Not me, not me, don't talk nonsense!"

The triple denial!

"S-Streamer, are you sure that's a Pokémon?"

Little Sister ultimately couldn't resist taking a glance. Her heart nearly leaped into her throat.

"Yes. This Pokémon hasn't been officially revealed yet. Or rather, people know far too little about it. I just asked my Research Friend, and he sent me some internal information."

Classic! Research Friend has appeared!

No, when did you even ask? Do you think we're all blind?

"I asked by typing."

Ye Yinchuan didn't explain further. "This Pokémon doesn't have a name yet, but I want to call it Mimikyu."

"Mini Qiu? Does that mean a miniature Pikachu?"

The barrage had the same question as Husband Not Home.

"The Mi is the mi from mystery, and the mik is the mik from mimicry. As for kyu, yes, that's from Pikachu."

"Because it has so many mysteries surrounding it and likes to mimic Pikachu's form, I think the name fits perfectly."

Ye Yinchuan said without blushing or missing a beat.

Of course, he hadn't come up with that name.

Mimikyu had already existed in his knowledge of Pokémon!

Streamer, tell us more!

Mimikyu... that's pretty interesting!

"Actually, many people have seen Mimikyu, but they mistake it for a ghost wearing a sheet, or Pikachu's ghost after it died."

Got it, like the white-sheet ghosts in cartoons!

I think they were originally burial shrouds!

Spread the word: the streamer invented Mimikyu!

"Like Gastly, Mimikyu is Ghost-type. However, Gastly has already been confirmed as a gaseous Pokémon. Mimikyu is still uncertain, but current research points toward it being Fairy-type."

What's Fairy-type?

Fairy-type... I only know Clefairy!

Don't forget Jigglypuff and Flabébé!

"Mm, Fairy-type is also a term that only emerged in recent years. Clefairy used to be considered Normal-type. Just think of them as immortal spirits or demon spirits among Pokémon. Fairy-types are generally small and mysterious, and they usually have magic- and psychic-related Moves, such as Charming Voice..."

Ye Yinchuan found it difficult to explain as well.

Because neither the official Pokémon organization nor the Pokémon Research Association of this world had a concrete, unified explanation for Fairy-type. It was merely used as a classification.

Whatever the streamer says goes.

Learned something new!

"So is this Pokémon dangerous? Why do I need to wear sunglasses?"

After hearing Ye Yinchuan's explanation, the camera on the other end had calmed down somewhat.

After all, human fear came from the unknown. Once they understood a little, especially once they knew it was a Pokémon, it didn't seem quite as frightening.

Gastly can kill people!

So Ghost-type can add a new member now?

Yeah, why sunglasses?

Husband Not Home's question was also what the barrage desperately wanted to know.

Ye Yinchuan took a tactical sip of water.

"Don't be impatient. To explain that, we have to start with Mimikyu's habits..."

A new book can't update too many words, so I'm keeping it around 2k, otherwise it affects recommendations. But I write in more detail, so if I can't fit enough words in, the pacing may feel a little slow. Still, I'll try to keep each Pokémon identification within three chapters, and it will definitely end in the fourth chapter. Also, some people are worried that I won't be able to write it for long or that it'll get abandoned. It really isn't easy to write—every day I have to think about what to identify next, how to introduce it, and whether arranging other plotlines will feel like padding. But I'll do my best to write it well. And Please Follow! It's very important for a new book at this stage. National Day is coming up, everyone is busy, but Big Banana is still shamelessly asking for your continued reading!
