About Overlord Pokémon! A Simple Way to Double an Omanyte's Value? (Please Follow)

The call disconnected!

Nutritional Nonsense heard him, but his hand had been a beat too fast.

666, Wool Bro was really in a hurry.

He really made me cry. For Omanyte, he was even willing to forgo the money!

He was probably afraid it couldn't be saved and he wouldn't get even a cent!

Was it Nutritional Pennies or Nutritional Nonsense?

@Nutritional Nonsense: Bro, my hand slipped! Please accept the call again!

Ye Yinchuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"It's fine. This money-making method isn't urgent. Take Omanyte to the Pokémon Center for emergency treatment first."

@Officer Tan: That's right. Life and safety come first.

@Nutritional Nonsense: Bro, I got a car! Please tell me! Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep tonight!

Spit it out already, I'm too anxious to sleep!

Stop messing around. Who would openly share a real money-making method?

Ye Yinchuan checked the time. There was still a while before midnight, so he nodded.

"Anyway, I'm ending the stream soon. Call me once you're in the car."

@Nutritional Nonsense: That's great, bro! You have to wait for me!

After sending that, Nutritional Nonsense went quiet. He was probably busy dealing with things.

Since he was waiting anyway, Ye Yinchuan decided to answer some questions from the chat.

Why did a high level lower its value instead? Isn't higher level supposed to mean stronger?

"There are many factors that determine a Pokémon's value, and they're quite complicated. A high level means it's strong, but it also means the Pokémon has already grown up. It may have missed certain training or improvement methods, and some of its potential may have been wasted. It's not absolute—it depends on the situation."

Right, you can't generalize.

Raising high-level Pokémon yourself and then selling them was actually quite unprofitable. Feeding and training cost money, making the investment high, but their value did not necessarily increase proportionally.

Wild Pokémon didn't need to be raised by you. It was basically free.

"High-level wild Pokémon generally fall into two categories. One is those that barely survive in the wild, only managing basic survival and going hungry one meal and full the next. Even if they're high-level Pokémon, their development is actually poor. Most of their potential has likely been wasted, and it's difficult to develop it later. You're better off raising a low-level one."

What about the other kind?

I love hearing the streamer talk about this stuff. I learn something new every time.

"The other kind is the top of the Food Chain—the overlords among Pokémon. These wild Pokémon are often exceptionally powerful and vicious. Because of their formidable strength, they never lack food, or even rare natural treasures. Not only has their potential been developed to an extremely high degree, but they've also experienced the brutal slaughter of the wild..."

"The higher the level of an Overlord Pokémon, the more expensive it is! The only issue is that whether you want to capture or tame one, it's an extremely difficult task. As overlords among wild Pokémon, calling them kings of the beasts wouldn't be an exaggeration. They won't easily bow their heads to humans!"

Damn! That's so cool?

Overlord Pokémon? I've heard of them! Last time, an Overlord Charmeleon sold at auction for 1.8 million. The buyer went through a lot of trouble after bringing it home and thought he'd tamed it. But after that Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, it immediately showed its savage nature, tore up the house, beat up all the Pokémon in the home, and put them in the ICU. I heard it flapped its wings once and flew away...

How much? 1.8 million?! Even a top-tier Charmander only costs twenty or thirty thousand at most, right? Ordinary ones are only two or three thousand!

What's so surprising about that? A bottom-rung wage slave makes 3,500 a month, while the richest tycoons have fortunes... The gap is even crazier than this!

So ordinary people shouldn't even think about it. Overlord Pokémon aren't something ordinary people can afford, capture, or tame!

Watching the lively discussion in the chat, Ye Yinchuan felt his blood stir as well.

Overlord Pokémon were genuinely cool!

He wondered whether he would ever get a chance to tame one himself.

For a Trainer who loved battling, having an Overlord Pokémon would undoubtedly mean reaching the pinnacle of life.

Why were they called overlords? Because they were strong—really, really strong.

Only then could they suppress other wild Pokémon and rule an area!

How did the streamer know that Omanyte was Dehydrated? Isn't Omanyte Rock Type?

"Omanyte is dual Rock Type and Water Type. Although it can move around on land, it basically lives in the water and feeds on plankton. That's also why I determined that this Omanyte wasn't an Overlord Pokémon. It's difficult for this kind of Pokémon to produce an overlord. As for it being Dehydrated, its eyes were bloodshot, and the surface of its tentacles was extremely dry. It was obvious at a glance."

Tell us about the Move Ancient Power?

When Ancient Power was mentioned, Ye Yinchuan became more cautious and casually looked up some information.

This Pokémon World knew about Ancient Power. Rock-type Pokémon could generally learn it, so it was also classified as a Rock-type Move.

Since that was roughly the same as what he knew, Ye Yinchuan spoke directly.

"Ancient Power is a very mysterious Move. Although it's a Rock-type Move, Pokémon of other Types can also master it. It's said to be a power wielded by ancient Pokémon, one that many Pokémon have now forgotten."

"After using Ancient Power, a Pokémon's abilities in all aspects can increase for a short period of time. In addition, Ancient Power has effects similar to Confusion. It can attack directly or control objects and hurl them at an opponent. Some people even say Ancient Power is a form of Confusion."

Ye Yinchuan had to admit that Ancient Power in the Pokémon World differed somewhat from Ancient Power in the games.

The former definitely increased abilities, while the latter only had a chance to do so.

In the game's animated depictions, it was also used to directly control rocks and smash them into enemies. That was probably one reason it had been classified as a Rock-type Move.

Ancient Power in reality could also control rocks, but it wasn't limited to rocks.

However, most wild Pokémon were still accustomed to using rocks to unleash Ancient Power's might!

So how did the streamer tell that Omanyte knew Ancient Power?

"I was only making an inference. After all, high-level Omanyte have a fairly high chance of knowing Ancient Power."

User "Nutritional Nonsense" has requested to connect with you!

Seeing that the person in question had arrived, Ye Yinchuan immediately accepted. He was just waiting to get off work.

"Streamer, tell me. What exactly is the method?"

Nutritional Nonsense was clearly excited.

He held a portable Breeding Box with Omanyte inside. Since he planned to resell it, he naturally hadn't bothered to prepare a Poké Ball for it.

"It's simple. Your Omanyte will be able to evolve before long. If it evolves successfully, its price should more than double."

What? Omanyte can evolve?

I looked it up. It seems to be called Omastar.

Does the streamer know Omanyte's evolution conditions?

666, Wool Bro is going to make a fortune!

"Really, bro? Then I'll keep it and sell it after it evolves!"

"Yeah. But I estimate that after its injuries heal and it evolves, it'll take at least a month, maybe even two. That depends on how many resources you're willing to invest in it. But I can't guarantee that it'll definitely evolve. I can only say this is an opportunity. What you do is up to you."

Ye Yinchuan saw that some people in the chat didn't even know Omanyte could evolve.

He guessed that Omanyte was simply too rare, and its Evolutionary Form was even rarer.

After all, when he had just looked up information, he had seen details about Omastar, which meant that some people still knew about it.

As for Omanyte's evolution conditions, there was indeed no information online. The requirements were unclear as well.

But Ye Yinchuan knew that in the games, Omanyte should evolve at Level 40.

Of course, he couldn't blindly copy the games.

After checking, Charmander's two evolutions occurred at around Level 16 and Level 36 respectively.

That meant they matched the game's settings.

Going by the games, a Pokémon like Omanyte, which had only one Evolutionary Form, should evolve at Level 40, and Ye Yinchuan remembered there being no other additional conditions.

Nutritional Nonsense's Omanyte was already Level 36, so it truly wasn't far from evolving!

But it was only a deduction, so Ye Yinchuan didn't dare guarantee anything. He only said it was an opportunity.

"Bro, when the time comes, can I call you again and have you take another look at it?"

"Sure, sure."

As long as the gifts are enough.

Ye Yinchuan thought it, but ultimately didn't say it aloud.

"That's it for today's stream. Bye, everyone. See you again this afternoon and tonight."

Don't, bro! I'm still waiting for you to appraise mine!

My roommate is just like Omanyte. He might not make it through tonight, and before he dies, he just wants to watch the stream a little longer!

What kind of streamer ends the stream at noon? I can't sleep at night if I don't see you stream!

Ye Yinchuan glanced at the chat and still decided to End Stream.

There was plenty of traffic after midnight, but Ye Yinchuan didn't want to trade his health for it.

Health was the foundation of everything, and streaming was a long-term career.

"Little Snorlax, come give me a hug!"

Having just finished work, Ye Yinchuan went looking for Little Snorlax.

Little Snorlax obediently came over and served as Ye Yinchuan's big body pillow and power bank—

Reliable, warm, soft, and stress-relieving...

The physical and mental fatigue from working for so long needed cute Pokémon to heal it!

Some readers have said they're worried that if the story keeps focusing on appraising Pokémon, it'll become predictable and boring. All I can say is that livestream Pokémon appraisal is the main plot and won't change. There will be relaxed daily life interludes, Pokémon interactions and training, and other events. Later, Little Snorlax will be raised properly, then other Pokémon will be captured, gradually expanding the worldbuilding. But appraisal will definitely remain the main plot. The title and synopsis are both about appraisal. I'll take everyone through appraising different Pokémon and do my best to enrich the story on that basis. This week is do-or-die, so please support me with follows and votes.
