How to Treat a Pidgey with Fear of Heights! Only Trainers with Empathy Are Good Trainers! (Please Follow)

"How to Treat a Pidgey with Fear of Heights! Only Trainers with Empathy Are Good Trainers! (Please Follow)"

At that moment, in a private stall in the restroom at the "Golden Pearl" Live Stream Base.

Xiao Wen, the beautiful rookie streamer, gasped sharply in surprise.

But the smell was way too strong!

Xiao Wen interrupted her casting, merely holding her breath slightly—

This Ye Yinchuan had actually figured out that her Pidgey couldn't fly?

Looks like her username was pretty fitting.

Snorlax Appraisal—anything was possible! I'm a mutt, and I love watching this!

How did the streamer tell?

Sensing the confusion from the bullet comments and Bobo Won't Fly, Ye Yinchuan cleared his throat.

"It was obvious at a glance. My dear subjects, there's no need to panic. As for the reason and the solution, I do have a few personal thoughts, but I can't guarantee they're correct. After all, I'm not an expert in this field."

Everyone, disperse. The streamer is about to start showing off.

When the streamer appraises something, he spots the truth at a glance!

That's the spirit!

I thought the streamer would have a friend who specialized in researching Pidgey!

"Tell me, tell me, hurry up and tell me."

Bobo Won't Fly was anxious.

After all, this problem had plagued her for a long time.

Who wouldn't want their Pokémon to be healthy?

Especially when a Flying Type couldn't even fly? It was embarrassing just to say it out loud!

The more anxious Bobo Won't Fly and the viewers in the bullet comments became, the more a small sense of satisfaction welled up in Ye Yinchuan—

Everyone was waiting for him.

Though what he relied on was the information advantage brought by Appraisal Eye.

It was still enough to show that his livestream content was highly appealing and kept people on the edge of their seats.

"Your Pidgey is usually rather timid, isn't it?"

"Yes. How did you know?"

Bobo Won't Fly was astonished once again.

The other party could see through the screen at a glance that her Pidgey "couldn't fly" and was "timid." What kind of godly appraisal ability was this?

Be bold. Remove the "bold."

Ye Yinchuan glanced at the comments below and thought, Is this joke ever going to end? You really can't let it go, can you?

He continued.

"Although Pidgey have gentle natures, that doesn't mean they're clingy. This Pidgey keeps burrowing into your arms and doesn't dare look at the camera, so I have every reason to believe that it's rather timid."

Ye Yinchuan would rather die than admit that he had seen it directly on the status panel.

Bluffing was the way to go!

Finding the problem after already knowing the answer was foolproof!

"Sigh, this little one always shrinks into my arms whenever it sees people. At the slightest disturbance, it lowers its head and hides in a corner. I don't know how it ended up being this timid. Luckily, I'm not interested in battling, or else this nature would really be hard to describe..."

Bobo Won't Fly complained resentfully.

"But why can't it fly? Could it be so timid that it doesn't even dare fly?"

People had heard of timid Pokémon, but never one this timid.

No way. Flying was instinctive for Pidgey, wasn't it?

"Congratulations, you got it right. Your reward is the chance to send the streamer a Poké Ball."

Hearing Ye Yinchuan's humorous answer, Bobo Won't Fly wanted to laugh, but she also felt helpless.

Right now, she only wanted to know what exactly was wrong with her Pidgey and whether there was a solution.

"Streamer Brother, explain it clearly. Help me solve the problem of my Pidgey not being able to fly, and I won't treat you poorly!"

As a professional female streamer, it was perfectly reasonable for her to know how to use an Artificial Voice, right?

Damn it! Stop using that voice! I'm playing this out loud on the subway, and everyone's staring at me!

Tell us honestly, did you use that voice so much that the Pidgey forgot how to fly?

Bobo Won't Fly stunned the crowd with her performance, and goosebumps rose all over Ye Yinchuan's body.

"Beauty, we're on the same side. Don't start talking like that. Speak properly!"

"Tch! Don't you men all like this sort of thing?"

Bobo Won't Fly's voice instantly returned to normal, perhaps even a little too much.

It carried a world-weary air, as though she had seen through everything, utterly killing the mood.

Followed. I love this voice!

Not hearing it makes my whole body uncomfortable. Hearing it makes me uncomfortable for an entire day!

"I'll put it plainly. Your Pidgey is not only timid—it's also severely afraid of heights."

Ye Yinchuan felt he had built up enough suspense. It was time to reveal the answer.

If he kept dragging it out, impatient viewers would all leave.

"Huh? Afraid of heights?"

I get it now. This is a livestream for bizarre Pokémon!

First there was the super-aggressive Machop, then a Pidgey afraid of heights! The streamer is a damn genius.

Where do you even find so many "amazing" Pokémon, streamer?

The bullet comments erupted once more.

A timid Pidgey was still understandable, but a Pidgey afraid of heights...

That somehow seemed even more absurd than a Pidgey that couldn't fly.

"Calm down, everyone. Calm down."

Watching the bullet comments surge and his popularity climb all the way up.

Ye Yinchuan could barely suppress the corners of his mouth from rising.

But he still had to put on an act. Being too smug would not make him likeable.

He wished more strange Pokémon like this would show up. That was how you got entertaining content.

Of course.

Only because he had Appraisal Eye could he accurately discover the exceptional traits—or rather, bizarre traits—of every Pokémon...

Just like a popular saying lately: many people in life were actually mildly intellectually disabled, but since they could take care of themselves, no one noticed.

It was probably the same principle.

"Those of you who watch my livestream often should know that certain illnesses defined among humans, even genetic defects and psychological issues, can also appear in Pokémon."

Machop: You might as well just say my name.

When is the streamer's Pokémon medicine friend making an appearance?

Pokémon appraisal? More like Pokémon diagnosis!

"Among humans, many people suffer from acrophobia. Some are even extremely afraid when standing by the railings a few stories up. Similar conditions can also occur among Pokémon. This friend here is simply very lucky to have encountered a Pidgey with a fear of heights."

Ye Yinchuan said with a perfectly serious expression.

"Lucky? Ha, then I really am so lucky."

Bobo Won't Fly was completely dumbfounded. She patted the Pidgey in her arms. "Well, well, Pidgey. You're so pretty, yet you're afraid of heights! Sigh..."

"It's not that there's no solution. For this kind of acrophobia, one of the most effective methods is exposure therapy."

Ye Yinchuan secretly used a search engine to find treatments for human acrophobia. He believed that applying them to Pokémon would be more or less the same.

Adding some of his own understanding, he explained concisely.

"Fear comes from imagination. A fear of heights may stem from being afraid of falling from a high place. As long as you repeatedly expose your Pidgey to high places, let it face its fear, adapt to the stimulation, and realize that being high up does not necessarily mean real danger, then it has a good chance of overcoming its fear of heights."

"Of course, you must proceed step by step. If you overdo it and create too much stimulation, it will only make the Pidgey even more afraid of heights and leave it with psychological trauma, producing the opposite effect."

Now this was what you called professional!

The streamer really knows his stuff, especially that part about proceeding step by step. That was so right!

Seeing the praise in the bullet comments, Ye Yinchuan felt a little embarrassed.

He had merely used the information supplied by the panel, combined with powerful search functions, to organize the knowledge.

Then he applied it to the Pidgey in front of him through his own understanding.

It was not like he truly knew that much.

But there was one thing he could be certain of.

As he repeated this process over and over, perhaps one day Ye Yinchuan would become a genuine Pokémon expert.

He would be able to draw on this knowledge freely, even without relying on a search engine!

Just as the saying went, sometimes you shouldn't resist showing off.

Because if you keep pretending long enough, you might actually become impressive!

"Ah, but wouldn't that be too cruel? If I were that Pidgey, I'd clearly be afraid of heights, yet I'd still have to be constantly placed somewhere high... Sigh, it feels so suffocating!"

You're empathizing with a Pokémon now? Are you stupid?

Pokémon have natures, even personalities. What's wrong with empathizing?

The bullet comments split into two camps over Bobo Won't Fly's reaction.

Ye Yinchuan, however, spoke as though it were only natural.

"Only trainers with empathy are good trainers. It's not just humans empathizing with Pokémon—many Pokémon empathize with humans too, and will actively help and protect them... Only those who can put themselves in a Pokémon's place can receive a Pokémon's sincere devotion in return."

"Even if you don't empathize or agree, surely you don't have to mock someone and call them stupid, right?"

Ye Yinchuan made his stance clear.

Being insincere just to keep every single viewer was not Ye Yinchuan's style.

Just as Confucius said—

"Hypocritical conformists are thieves of virtue!"
