The Gentle Blade: Buddy, Your Omanyte Is Seriously Illegal! (Please Follow)

"Of course, you can't spoil it too much either. It's like a human Chao Xiong child—if you blindly pamper and indulge it, you'll only fuel its arrogance and raise a truly terrifying Super Male Demon."

"In short, never let it develop the feeling that 'throwing a tantrum gets me what I want.' Punish it when it needs punishing, scold it when it needs scolding. As long as it doesn't cross into abuse, you absolutely have to be firm..."

He had hit the nail on the head.

That sounded like a hassle. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't raise one!

"Streamer, you're right. Raising Pokémon really is like raising children."

"Mm. This is a great opportunity. You have to seize it and establish your authority as its owner. If you let this slide so carelessly, next time will only be worse. Don't forget that if it behaves well, you should also praise and reward it promptly."

Positive feedback and negative feedback.

Put simply, it was about helping Machop develop good behavior patterns. The streamer knew his stuff.

"Fourth, because it's Chao Xiong, this child is Destined to be irritable no matter how hard you try."

"As its owner, you must have ways to calm it down at any time, ensuring that when its emotions flare up, it can settle down quickly. You can consult professionals about that. The warm-hearted and all-powerful netizens probably know a little too."

Some Pokémon food contained calming ingredients with no Side Effect, though it was a little expensive.

I've seen some Pokémon Trainers use specific music to soothe Pokémon. Simple bell sounds and the like should work too, as long as they suit it.

I heard that some natural ores, as long as Pokémon carried them around, could put them in a good mood!

Just strangle it...

When this kind of Pokémon gets angry, I usually slap myself a few times first. That way, it won't hit me.

I recommend Flexible Persuasion! (Image: a bearded muscular man in a bunny-girl outfit, striking a coquettish pose and looking utterly seductive!)

"Some of the chat's suggestions are pretty good. Some of them... don't be too outrageous! Especially whoever suggested Flexible Persuasion—if you've got something to say, say it properly! Don't just throw up pictures out of nowhere! That's an assault on the eyes!"

That image made Ye Yinchuan feel as though the muscular man's leg hair was repeatedly rubbing against his eyeballs.

Not looking made his whole body itch, but looking made him suffer all day!

Forget a Chao Xiong Machop—my Old Granny would want to hit someone after seeing that!

Someone in the chat offered that cutting remark.

"Fifth, blocking is worse than guiding. You need to teach Machop to release its emotions proactively. For instance, when it gets angry, it can attack a punching bag or something, but it absolutely must not attack people. Or it can turn its anger into motivation for training."

"If you can succeed, this genetic defect may even become an advantage uniquely its own!"

The streamer sure dreamed big.

Easy to say, hard to do!

Come to think of it, some exceptionally brave and hot-tempered ancient generals might have been Chao Xiong. There just wasn't a term for it back then.

Zhang Fei? Xiang Yu? Li Yuanba?

"Chao Xiong aren't born evil. It's merely what we consider a genetic defect. To some extent, if this gene can be properly guided and put to good use, it may well be a talent."

Emotions are the best driving force!

Amazing, Streamer! You actually made Chao Xiong Machop sound impressive!

"Sixth... this may sound a little absurd. But I don't think it's entirely unworkable."

Feels like the streamer is about to pull something!

Killing Intent detected!

"Streamer, tell us!"

After hearing everything Ye Yinchuan had said, Da Ji Ba was completely convinced. He even picked up pen and paper, taking notes as he listened, terrified of missing any key points.

"That is... the Gentle Blade! Chao Xiong means excessive Male hormone secretion! Then friends who frequently jerk off should know that every time they finish, they feel utterly calm inside, even a little empty."

"You should have this Machop breed regularly, at a slightly higher frequency. Wear it out until it's Exhausted, its legs go weak, and its eyes grow blurry. How could it still be irritable or aggressive then? If that doesn't work, find it a mate that can handle it. If it ends up henpecked, you won't need to worry about it anymore."

666! Streamer, you're fucking talented!

Sage Mode, huh?

Sorry, everyone. I just blacked out after finishing. What were we talking about?

Stop! This Machop is still a child!

The streamer was drooling as he spoke. Get him a Female Machamp with No Guard!

"Uh..."

Even Da Ji Ba's face reddened after hearing that. Was this really streamable?

"It actually sounds kind of reasonable. I'll try it later."

By this point, Ye Yinchuan had basically said all there was to say, and the chat had helped fill in a few gaps.

But in summary, there was only one approach for this Machop—

Use both gentle and firm methods, with more discipline and guidance.

Even if Chao Xiong couldn't be turned into an advantage, at the very least, it had to be kept from losing control.

That was the most basic bottom line!

"Thank you, Streamer! I want to go try it right now!"

"Remember to come back and tell everyone how it goes."

Especially the sixth point.

Start a stream: My Daily Life with a Chao Xiong Machop. The first person on the internet to get domestically abused by a Pokémon. You'll definitely become more popular than Snorlax Appraisal.

Hahaha, the guy above is pointing the way to immortality! I've followed already!

Steal the streamer's already meager traffic!

Ye Yinchuan sat before the camera, watching the chat as he hunched slightly forward like a shrimp.

He admitted that he was getting a little heated.

"Come on, guys, why don't you follow me first?!"

The call disconnected.

User "Da Ji Ba" sent a gift: Silver Leaf ×1!

Gift message: Streamer, once this Machop is properly trained, I'll send you a Gold Leaf!

Seeing the glittering silver leaf fly across the screen, Ye Yinchuan instantly brightened.

"Thanks to Da Ji... Big Friend for the Silver Leaf!"

A Silver Leaf was quite a valuable gift. Although it wasn't as expensive as a Master Ball, it still cost as much as 600 yuan!

After the platform took its cut, that meant 420 yuan in earnings!

As for the Gold Leaf Da Ji Ba had mentioned, it cost three times as much as a Silver Leaf—1,800 yuan, nearly twice the price of a Master Ball!

"Little Snorlax, today's earnings have already exceeded expectations!"

Ye Yinchuan excitedly patted the Snorlax beside him.

"Ka-um?"

Snorlax was sleeping groggily, but it still responded to Ye Yinchuan.

"Extra dinner tonight!"

"Ka-um!"

Snorlax's eyes flew open. Groggy? What groggy? There was no such thing!

@Nutritious Nonsense: Streamer, are you taking another call today? I've watched several of your streams, and I can't help wanting you to appraise mine too!

Seeing that it was an old viewer from his stream, Ye Yinchuan immediately replied.

"I am! But this will be today's final appraisal! Nutritious Nonsense, I choose you!"

That name is killing me.

No idea what the streamer is getting so fired up about.

The call connected!

"Streamer, the way you shouted that makes it sound like I'm your Pokémon."

A teasing voice came from the other side of the camera.

Then a Pokémon simply and crudely appeared on-screen.

"Help me take a look. How's this newly acquired Omanyte of mine? How much is it worth?"

Omanyte? Damn! Wasn't that an almost extinct Pokémon?

Buddy, your Omanyte is seriously illegal!

Please Follow during the National Day holiday, and please send some votes too. New books aren't easy, so I sincerely ask that you wait until the results stabilize before shelving it! I've finally finished talking about Machop and moved on to a new Pokémon. Sometimes there are too many things I want to express, which can drag down the pacing, but I'll do my best to pay attention to that. You're also welcome to keep me in check. As for Pokémon, this book will do its best to respect the original work. However, some details will be adjusted as "the plot requires." If you spot any unreasonable settings, feel free to comment, but please be patient. If there are any secondary settings, I'll do my best to make them internally consistent.
