Mimikyu's Habits, the One-of-a-Kind "Disguise" Ability! And You Call This Not Understanding? (Please Follow)

Your friend had a pretty loose mouth. He blabbed about every research result.

Stop pretending, Streamer. That Galarian Travels you mentioned last time couldn't be found anywhere!

Everyone shut up, I want to hear the Streamer bullshit!

"I'm not an expert in this field. If I really get something wrong, don't hold it against me."

"As I said before, one of Mimikyu's biggest traits is that it likes imitating Pikachu. It usually uses sticks and cloth, then paints on facial features to dress itself up like Pikachu."

"Look closely at the screen. Mimikyu's tail is actually fake. It's just a piece of wood."

It's all pixelated, I can't see shit!

Super Admin, stop messing around! If you don't dismount now, you'll lose your horse! (This user has been banned for 365 days.)

Seeing the comments, Ye Yinchuan broke out in a cold sweat. That Super Admin was still watching in the room!

At that moment.

In the Super Admin Office of the Douyin livestreaming platform.

A Super Admin shouted, "Fuck! Manager, come take a look! How should we handle this livestream room?"

The manager quickly came over and examined it carefully, his brows slightly furrowing.

"Are we sure this isn't scripted?"

"Probably not. Did you see it? That thing really seems to be a Pokémon. And the Dream Protection Bureau just connected with this Streamer earlier and even sent him a gift... Looks like he has some serious backing."

The Super Admin lowered his voice.

"Since it's a Pokémon livestream, it counts as normal content. Keep the screen censored. Then give viewers a pop-up option. Once they confirm they don't have heart problems or anything and agree to waive liability, they can view the original footage."

"Got it. Manager, this Streamer is pretty interesting. Shouldn't we give him some extra traffic support? I think he has the makings of a top streamer!"

"That's not our department's responsibility. If he can keep producing content, he'll become popular sooner or later."

After saying that, the manager left.

As the person in charge of livestream Super Admins, he was very busy.

Besides, high-quality new streamers emerged every day. Naturally, he wouldn't pay much attention to a small streamer, even if his numbers were quite good.

If it were the kind where pretty women and Pokémon danced suggestively, then perhaps out of personal interest... ahem, professional duty, he might take a closer look to see whether there were any violations.

We can watch now!

It's still really dark, but the Streamer was right!

With the Super Admins working their backend controls, the viewers in the livestream room could finally see Mimikyu clearly.

Ye Yinchuan kept his eyes on Mimikyu and the panel that had appeared.

Disguise Pokémon: Mimikyu

Level: 6

Type: Ghost-type, Fairy-type

Gender: Male

Base Stats: B-Rank (476)

Individual Value: A-Rank (139)

Ability: Disguise

Nature: Naive

Moves: Scratch, Splash, Astonish, Copycat, Shadow Sneak

Status: Sad, Anxious

Evolution Line: None

It had to be said that Mimikyu's Base Stats were quite formidable. At 476 points, they were already close to the Upper Limit of a B-Rank evaluation and were about to reach A-Rank.

Even the final Evolutionary Forms of Starter Pokémon only had 525 Base Stats.

And then there were its Moves, as well as its one-of-a-kind "Disguise" Ability.

Ye Yinchuan was getting a little envious. If he could capture this Mimikyu, forget being invincible in the early stages—if he raised it seriously, he would have a great chance of becoming a Professional Trainer.

"Streamer, why does Mimikyu like imitating Pikachu?"

The question from the other side pulled Ye Yinchuan back to reality.

"Good question. Why does Mimikyu like imitating Pikachu? There are currently two possible explanations. One says that Mimikyu is a Ghost-type formed from the accumulated resentment of Pokémon abandoned by humans after they died, so it desperately craves people's love. Pikachu is just too popular, so it wants to be popular like Pikachu too. It tries to gain everyone's affection by imitating Pikachu."

"Ah, that makes it seem so pitiful..."

Tsk tsk, it just wants people to like it, but everyone's afraid of it. How tragic!

Is this Dongshi Imitates Frowning?

Why does it feel more like Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio: Painted Skin?

"The other explanation is that Mimikyu is a Fairy-type born naturally, but it's very attached to humans and gets lonely easily. Since Pikachu is so popular, it dressed itself up like Pikachu. The reasoning is basically the same."

"I don't think it's scary anymore. What a pitiful Little One. Can I go outside and approach it?"

Little Sister looked much calmer now.

"Don't rush. It's a wild Ghost-type Pokémon, after all. There's a certain degree of danger."

Even ordinary Starter Pokémon were capable of hurting people, let alone one with 476 Base Stats.

Little Sister, stop interrupting. Let the Streamer talk!

Why exactly did she need sunglasses?

Seeing how interested the comments were in Mimikyu, Ye Yinchuan continued explaining.

"Based on what I just said, Mimikyu thinks its original appearance is terrifying and doesn't want anyone to see it. So if someone tries to look at what's inside, it will have a Stress Response and attack them. It might even want to kill them..."

"I had Little Sister wear sunglasses so Mimikyu would think she couldn't see it. After all, we weren't sure whether this Mimikyu's outer covering had been damaged. The facts proved I was right. Its 'neck' was broken, and the cloth there had torn too."

Hearing that, her face turned pale.

"Ah? That's so scary."

Fuck? It was that dangerous?

Streamer, what if the sunglasses didn't work?

"If the sunglasses didn't work, then shut the door and run. Otherwise, were you going to wait to die?"

Just then, the Mimikyu crying in front of the mirror seemed to have noticed Little Sister's presence.

It turned around to look at her, then immediately hid behind the mirror.

"It's afraid you'll discover that it's imitating Pikachu. Its 'neck' is broken, after all, so it looks pretty obvious."

"Streamer, what should I do now?"

"Go find a piece of cloth. It would be best if you also have needle and thread. And if you have a wooden stick, even better."

Ye Yinchuan thought for a moment before speaking.

"I have cloth. I'll have to look for needle and thread. As for a stick... I only have a wooden clothes hanger. Is that okay?"

"That works. Be careful not to let Pichu run out. Mimikyu gets jealous of Pikachu easily, and Pichu is the same."

After saying that, Husband Not Home began taking action according to Ye Yinchuan's instructions.

"Streamer, I'm going."

Holding the things she had found, Little Sister carefully pushed open the door and, following Ye Yinchuan's instructions, placed them on the ground some distance away from Mimikyu.

It was like feeding a stray cat. Getting close too easily might get you scratched, so you could only place the food nearby.

"Pika..."

Mimikyu poked half its body out, cautiously observed for a moment, then darted out and grabbed everything before running back in front of the mirror.

"Is it... repairing its outer covering?"

Mimikyu stretched out hands like shadows from beneath the ragged cloth.

First, it took apart the wooden hanger, selected suitable pieces of wood, and stuffed them into the broken area to prop Pikachu's "head" back up.

Then it used the needle and thread to sew new cloth over the torn areas.

That way, the Ghost-type Main Body inside it would no longer leak out.

"Pikachu!"

After finishing the repairs, Mimikyu looked at itself in the mirror and finally stopped crying.

Ye Yinchuan noticed that the status on its panel had changed to Happy and Grateful.

"It's fine now. You helped Mimikyu repair its costume, so it won't hurt you anymore. Go turn on a light."

Click.

As the room lit up, Mimikyu's appearance was fully revealed.

"Are the two little black dots on its belly actually the Main Body's eyes? Looking at it this way, it's actually pretty cute."

Little Sister studied Mimikyu.

Mimikyu also noticed that she wasn't afraid of it and cautiously approached.

"Can I touch it?"

"You can."

After receiving Ye Yinchuan's answer, Little Sister reached out and touched Mimikyu's head.

"It feels... so strange. It's clearly empty, but it somehow feels tangible. This child really needs love and care."

Wow, she could probably capture it now, right?

This is a brand-new Pokémon. It has huge research value!

Streamer, does Mimikyu have an Ability?

"Mini Qiu's Ability is 'Disguise.' The costume it makes possesses some kind of magical power and can take damage in Mimikyu's place. But the costume has to be intact for it to work."

I don't understand, but it sounds amazing!

You call this knowing too little? You could publish a paper with this!

"Ah, Mimikyu ran away..."

Little Sister said wistfully.

"It's a wild Pokémon, after all. But it should come back again."

Ye Yinchuan comforted her.

"Thank you, Streamer. Thanks to you, I'm not scared at all anymore. My problem has been solved, so I won't delay your livestream any longer!"

As she spoke, she voluntarily disconnected the call and sent a gift.

"Thank you, Little Sister, for the six Poké Balls! Beauty is both gorgeous and generous!"

Seeing the gift effect pop up on the screen, Ye Yinchuan perked up, his enthusiasm soaring.

"There's still time tonight. Let's welcome the next appraiser! Snorlax Appraisal livestream room, profe... free appraisals for all kinds of Pokémon! As long as it's a Pokémon, there's nothing this Streamer can't identify!"

Ahem... I wanted to keep it to 2,000 words, but I accidentally nearly wrote 3,000 again. I just love writing—I can't stop! Okay, mainly because if I didn't wrap up Mimikyu this chapter, it really would have dragged on too long! Tomorrow, we'll appraise a new Pokémon!
