The Logic Behind Super True Newcomers? What Kind of Decent Person Appraises Pokémon in a Toilet—Are You Lao Ba? (Please Follow)
Unlike in the Pokémon anime and games people knew.
In this Pokémon World, there existed a substance called "Pokémon Energy."
After exercising, the drifting points of light Ye Yinchuan saw were Pokémon Energy.
The reason Pokémon possessed extraordinary strength and could unleash Moves of various Types, such as water, fire, and electricity, was also because Pokémon Energy existed in this world.
One theory held that Pokémon were physical entities born from Pokémon Energy, though there was currently no way to verify it.
Pokémon had initially also been called "spirits" or "Pocket Monsters," and some people still called them that even now.
Pokémon were highly efficient at absorbing and utilizing Pokémon Energy. They could store it in their bodies, where it formed "Pokémon Power." Using Moves consumed Pokémon Power.
Like Snorlax's "Defense Curl"—that special energy was its Pokémon Power.
At this moment, what interested Ye Yinchuan more was Pokémon Energy's effect on humans, as well as how it could be utilized and converted.
In this Pokémon World, humans had a major benefit.
Because of Pokémon Energy, people were relatively healthier and longer-lived.
Moreover, when humans exercised, rapidly exhausting their physical energy noticeably improved their ability to sense and absorb Pokémon Energy.
That was why Ye Yinchuan had only been able to see the drifting Pokémon Energy when he was nearly dead from exhaustion after running.
Furthermore, because Pokémon naturally possessed powerful Pokémon Energy absorption and storage abilities, these abilities were further amplified during training, causing the concentration of Pokémon Energy in the surrounding area to rise rapidly.
At such times, humans training alongside Pokémon could also increase their own absorption of Pokémon Energy.
In other words, the rules of this world encouraged humans and Pokémon to train together.
That was also why some Professional Trainers had such impressive physical fitness that they could support a Pokémon weighing twenty or thirty kilograms with one hand.
Generally speaking, the stronger the Pokémon a Trainer raised and trained, the stronger that Trainer's physical abilities would be in every respect.
To some extent, this could be understood as Pokémon giving something back to their Trainers.
"That explains Super True Newcomers. As long as they keep training Pokémon and train alongside powerful Pokémon, humans in this world can also become very strong. Though they still can't compare to Pokémon."
Ye Yinchuan pondered to himself.
"Training really is necessary. Even if I don't need to battle, I still need to keep training, whether for myself or for Snorlax's health."
"People in this world are even trying to develop machines that can utilize Pokémon Energy? That's pretty interesting. If they really succeed, it'll probably bring about an era-defining transformation!"
He became so immersed in the materials that time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was 2:59, and Ye Yinchuan entered the Live Stream Chat.
There was no need to arrive too early, but he absolutely could not be late.
@Bobo Won't Fly: Streamer, cutting it close, huh?
What surprised Ye Yinchuan was that some viewers were already waiting in the Live Stream Chat.
It seemed his fans were definitely quite loyal.
"What do you mean, cutting it close? You make it sound like I'm sneaking around committing theft."
Ye Yinchuan instinctively interacted with the viewers.
It was a Streamer's instinct—he had to be witty, and he had to know how to catch a joke.
Meanwhile.
At a certain Live Stream Base.
A fashionably dressed female Streamer in a playful, cute outfit held her phone and typed furiously. Her manicured nails clacked against the screen with crisp taps.
@Bobo Won't Fly: Streamer Brother, you are a thief. You're just an uninvited heart-stealing thief. I only glanced at you once in the crowd, and you stole my heart.
Xiao Wen wore a sly, wicked grin, her curved eyes resembling those of a little fox.
Though she had not put on makeup yet, her fair, youthful skin and naturally lovely features were enough to captivate a whole crowd of looks-obsessed fans, regardless of gender.
That was right.
This Xiao Wen, whose real name was Xu Qingwen, was a signed female Streamer under the live-stream Guild "Golden Pearl," and a recently popular newcomer.
She had started around the same time as Ye Yinchuan, and both were talents under Hu Yue.
She had previously seen Hu Yue send gifts in Ye Yinchuan's Live Stream Chat, so she had deliberately remembered him. He suddenly came to mind today, and she decided to tease him a little...
No, she was going to look after this little brother who had been kicked out of the Guild.
Over on Ye Yinchuan's side, he got goosebumps when he saw that Bullet Comment.
What even was this? Were they playing cringe games now?
Still, complaints aside, Ye Yinchuan replied with interest:
"Please don't keep falling for me. Oh, I'm just a legend..."
Streamer, how old are you? What kind of ancient edgy meme is that?
Dead memories were starting to attack me!
"Ah, what an outdated joke."
Just as Xiao Wen was about to reply, Ye Yinchuan continued:
"Don't keep looking at me in the crowd either... because you're too beautiful. One more look and I'll explode!"
"Pfft!"
666, you little hater, you've shown your true colors!
Alright, alright, so the Streamer is a Pokémon Appraiser who trained for two and a half years?
Xiao Wen directly spat out her laughter, luckily she had not been drinking water.
The others around her could not help looking over, and Xiao Wen hurriedly explained:
"I came across a video that was too funny..."
Hu Yue, who was sitting in front of a computer studying live-streaming scripts, gave Xiao Wen a long, quiet look.
Xiao Wen flashed Hu Yue her white teeth, smiling both guiltily and ingratiatingly.
"I get the feeling she's up to no good."
Hu Yue muttered, but did not think much of it.
Xiao Wen immediately lowered her head and typed a reply on her phone:
"Streamer, would you dare appraise a Pokémon for me later? My Pidgey has never been able to fly. Could you take a look and see if it has some serious illness or something?"
As she spoke, Xiao Wen looked beneath her seat, where the Pokémon Pidgey was lying down and resting.
Her eyes held both affection and helplessness.
Other people's Pidgey liked to fly and perch in high places.
Her Pidgey was strange. It always liked lying on the ground like a little dog.
She had taken it to the hospital for an examination, and it was completely healthy. She had no idea what the reason was.
After seeing Ye Yinchuan appraise Pokémon, she thought she might as well have him take a look. If he discovered anything, she would only stand to gain.
"No problem. Just because you're the first Bullet Comment in the Live Stream Chat today, I can't refuse. Besides, other people only send gifts, but you gave me your heart. If I still don't appraise it for you, wouldn't that make me a scumbag?"
Ye Yinchuan had no idea whether "Bobo Won't Fly" was male or female, or what kind of oddball they were.
Xiao Wen's account was a private one, with everything hidden, not even a Gender listed.
What he said now was simply a Streamer's normal interaction, following along with a fan's words.
"Haha, he's pretty good with words. No wonder Sister Hu Yue recruited him back then. Too bad being good with words doesn't necessarily mean having traffic... But why does his traffic seem pretty decent after leaving the Guild?"
Xiao Wen watched the viewer count in Ye Yinchuan's Live Stream Chat climb steadily after he went live, and could not help muttering to herself.
She had originally thought that Ye Yinchuan, who had already been a flop, would only flop even harder after being kicked out of the Guild!
That made Xiao Wen look forward to the upcoming appraisal a little.
@Bobo Won't Fly: Then wait a moment, Streamer. I'm going somewhere better.
Her eyes darted about as she picked up her Pidgey and headed toward the company restroom.
There was nothing shameful about it.
But Xiao Wen did not want Hu Yue to know that she had secretly gone to Ye Yinchuan's Live Stream Chat.
Otherwise, she would probably get nagged at endlessly again!
Connection successful!
As the connected video feed appeared, Ye Yinchuan froze for a moment.
"This is the better place you mentioned? Are you Lao Ba?"
This was a restroom, right?
Oh no, is she about to drop something huge on the Streamer?
What kind of decent person appraises Pokémon in a toilet?
