"Super Male" Machop Returns for a Limited Time! The First Person to Be Abused by a Pokémon! Deciding Whether to Keep It! (Please Follow)
Ye Yinchuan was picking someone to connect with.
Suddenly, another gift notification popped up—exactly six Poké Balls.
Red and White Balls bounced across the screen one after another, setting Ye Yinchuan's heart bouncing along with them.
Each Poké Ball gift was worth fifty yuan, so six of them came to three hundred. Although the platform took its cut and he only received two hundred and ten yuan, it was still a considerable sum.
Especially since this was the second wave in a row. That meant Ye Yinchuan's guaranteed earnings from this stream had already reached four hundred and twenty yuan.
Feeling secretly delighted, Ye Yinchuan thanked the sender.
"Thanks to 'Doduo Post Station · A Wen' for the six Poké Balls! Wishing Boss Wen booming business!"
Only after saying that did Ye Yinchuan seem to recall something.
Wasn't that the innkeeper who had asked him to appraise Meowth earlier that evening?
He clicked on the profile, and sure enough, it was him.
Ye Yinchuan remembered that the man had said he would send him a gift. He had forgotten all about it afterward, yet the gift had arrived after all this time.
@Doduo Post Station · A Wen: Streamer, here's the belated gift! I was busy playing with Meowth and forgot the appraisal fee!
"It's fine, it's fine! Ah, you're too kind! My appraisals are free anyway!"
Ye Yinchuan said that, but the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than they had been that morning.
Look at that face!
Watching him appraise treasures is fine, but watching him make money hurts worse than killing me!
"Don't be in such a hurry, little bro. You're watching the streamer make money now, but you forgot he's only been streaming for two days!"
666!
Say no more, brothers, report him!
Please stop sending gifts, or the streamer will have no choice but to buy a Land Rover!
Ye Yinchuan had endless fun interacting with the chat.
User "Da Ji Ba" has applied to connect with you!
Seeing the rather outrageous username, Ye Yinchuan was suddenly attacked by lost memories.
Wasn't this the owner of that Super Male Machop—the guy who got beaten up at the gym?
Come to think of it, after this Big Friend had connected with him last time and gone to the hospital, he had never shown up again. Ye Yinchuan had thought there would be no follow-up.
Ye Yinchuan decided to accept the connection and see what was going on.
Connection successful.
Along with the notification, a muscular man appeared on the other end of the camera.
It was him, except he was wrapped in bandages, covered in bruises, with one eye swollen black and blue. The smile on his face was bitter.
"Streamer, I'm back."
Who's this guy? Does the streamer know him?
@Ms. Carrot: You can tell you're new here. This guy is one of the streamer's first veteran fans to connect with him!
Tsk, tsk, how did he get beaten up so badly? Did he offend the streamer?
The streamer has criminal connections too? Both sides of the law? That's way too criminal!
"Hey, hey, hey, that's enough. Criminal connections? The streamer is upright and law-abiding, a perfectly respectable citizen!"
Ye Yinchuan felt that if he did not explain himself, the chat would get more and more ridiculous.
The streamer talking is pretty rare. I suggest a thorough investigation!
Fine, Ye Yinchuan did not dare speak anymore. The more he explained, the worse it looked!
Oh no! The streamer stopped talking! Could there really be something wrong?
Ye Yinchuan's silence was deafening, so he focused on the connection instead.
"Hello, Big Friend. How's your Machop doing now? The streamer's been worried about you."
"Sigh, I took it to the Pokémon Hospital for an examination. It really was a genetic defect. The people at the hospital wanted to keep my Machop for medical research. They said they never expected Pokémon could have Super Male Syndrome too. They were also willing to compensate me with some money."
What? A Super Male Machop? No wonder he got beaten black and blue!
The first person to suffer domestic abuse from a Pokémon.
There's compensation money? That's good enough. You really can't keep that Machop!
"Did you agree?"
Ye Yinchuan asked.
Just as the chat had said, if he could not control a Super Male Machop, handing it over to a professional institution and receiving compensation was already a very good outcome.
"I've been struggling with it these past two days. My family says I should give it up before the hospital changes its mind. But I've raised this Machop for so long, and I do have feelings for it. Streamer, you understand, right? I really can't bear to let it go. It feels like personally giving away my own child."
Indeed, in this situation, they needed to pay more.
You've been beaten up like that. What's there to be reluctant about?
Even muscular men can be gentle!
"Mm... How much is the hospital offering?"
Ye Yinchuan asked the question many people in the chat were concerned about.
"Fifty thousand yuan. Enough to cover what I spent raising this Machop."
"What do you think? Make your decision carefully, and don't regret it. After all, keeping this Machop around is a potential danger to the people around you too."
Ye Yinchuan generally did not support abandoning Pokémon in any form, but this situation truly was exceptional.
Fifty thousand? For fifty thousand, I'd sell the streamer!
Bro, you can replace it with a top-tier Machop!
Hesitation leads to defeat!
He probably decided to sell it long ago. He just feels morally guilty and came online looking for validation.
"Some people are dark inside, so don't assume everyone else is just as bad."
Ye Yinchuan admitted that what the chat said was not impossible.
But he could tell that this Big Friend was a man of feeling. He would not go that far.
"Sigh, they're not entirely wrong. I admit I feel morally pressured. I used to despise people who sold their own Pokémon for money. I never thought that when it came to me, I'd actually be tempted..."
Instant karma.
Making money isn't shameful.
Can't be helped—they're offering too much!
"Big bro, there's no need to feel pressured or anything. If a Pokémon seriously injures someone, or even causes someone's death, you know what the consequences will be. It won't just be your Machop that gets put down. Several families could be ruined. In something like this, the Machop is innocent, and so are you."
"Streamer, you're right."
Da Ji Ba took a deep breath, as though he had finally made up his mind.
Finally dropping the act, huh? It was exhausting just watching.
Fifty thousand yuan—he probably can't stop himself from smiling!
"That child is innocent. I'm worried that if the hospital uses it for research, they'll be cruel to it. Like lab mice—drug injections, Thunder Shock tests, maybe even dissection..."
Come on, bro, you really know how to pick out the important part!
Seriously, who knows what kind of research it'll be?
Ye Yinchuan was not very surprised to hear that.
Or rather, he could understand whichever choice Da Ji Ba made.
"So you came to ask me for help after all?"
Ye Yinchuan had not forgotten the promise he made during his previous stream.
"You need to think this through. You may have to put in several times more effort, and it could all end in failure."
Da Ji Ba turned the camera to the side.
Inside a specially made Pokémon cage, an injured Machop gripped the bars, its face full of sorrow and guilt.
If one did not know that it was responsible for Da Ji Ba's injuries, one might truly think someone was abusing the Pokémon!
"At first, I was angry too. I thought I might as well send it away. But seeing the child like this, I still couldn't bring myself to do it. It only has a congenital genetic defect and has trouble controlling its temper. It's definitely not an ungrateful traitor. Streamer, I've made up my mind. I still want to try again!"
You fool, bro!
Don't do this. You'll regret it for the rest of your life!
Sigh, Machop is pitiful too.
Don't rush. Why not ask the magical streamer? He has plenty of terrible ideas!
"Alright, I'll tell you what to do. But let me make this clear first: I'm not an expert in this field. The streamer is only giving you some suggestions based on my understanding of Pokémon. You can also take the advice of the Pokémon Hospital and the Pokémon Center into account."
Ye Yinchuan spoke sincerely.
