Squirtle Has Aquaphobia? It's a Water-type Pokémon, Damn It!

"Gloom, come with me to pick up the delivery."

Ms. Carrot had changed into a new outfit she had bought but never had the chance to wear. After making sure there was no lingering smell on her whatsoever, she took her phone, started her stream, and headed out with Gloom.

Into the elevator, downstairs, picked up the delivery—all in one smooth motion.

Everyone they encountered along the way, including the Delivery Guy and even the Pokémon, was startled when they saw Gloom. To them, Gloom meant a stench so foul it could warp your nose!

Some places even had rules banning Pokémon like Gloom from entering. Some netizens had gone so far as to classify them as biological weapons. That was enough to show just how terrifying the smell was...

It was said that the odor released by an emotionally agitated Gloom in heat could knock people out from two kilometers away!

That was why people's first reaction upon seeing Gloom was usually to cover their noses and stay as far away as possible.

But they soon realized there was no smell. Not even the faintest trace of stench. If anything, there was even a subtle fragrance in the air!

The disbelief, the astonishment, even people stepping closer to sniff—all of it was witnessed by the viewers in the live stream chat.

For the sake of the stream, Ms. Carrot even asked the Deliveryman to take a sniff. She then bought him a milk tea and asked him to open it and take a sip on the spot.

Ye Yinchuan had to admit that Ms. Carrot really got it. She knew exactly how to create good streaming content!

After all, if Gloom really smelled unbearably foul, anyone trying to eat in that stinking environment would instinctively feel nauseated. If he didn't, that proved quite a lot!

"So, Argumentative Bastard, are you still going to keep arguing with the streamer?"

After finishing all the tests, Ms. Carrot spoke proudly to the camera.

"My Gloom doesn't smell at all now! And it never will again! It's the best Pokémon in my heart! You'd better apologize right now, or the spit from everyone in the live stream chat will drown you! Their eyes are sharp!"

After saying that, Ms. Carrot did not forget to glance at Ye Yinchuan, as if asking, Streamer, did I do okay?

Ye Yinchuan nodded in approval.

Bullet Comments flooded the chat—

Hahaha! That felt good! Now that's a proper slap in his face!

The streamer is awesome! New viewers, remember to follow!

Argumentative Bastard, what else do you have to say now? Just admit you're an idiot!

For the most part, the outcome had already been decided.

But some people really had mouths harder than stone—harder than a dead duck's beak!

Argumentative Bastard: It's staged! It's all staged! Their acting is just too good!

Ye Yinchuan felt no emotional stir at all. If anything, he wanted to laugh.

"Carpenter buddy, you can fool me, but don't fool yourself! Is admitting the truth really that hard? Fine, I can see you're still unconvinced. Come on, bring out your Pokémon and connect to my stream!"

Ms. Carrot knowingly disconnected from the call and posted a bullet comment.

Streamer, thank you so much for today. I'll always support you from now on and watch your streams!

She also sent a Poké Ball gift worth around 50 RMB. It was not much, but it was the thought that counted. For an unemployed student, it was already the greatest show of appreciation.

He had gained one loyal female fan!

"Thank you, Ms. Carrot, for the gift! New viewers in the live stream chat, remember to hit follow! New streamer, free treasure appraisal—Pokémon Treasure!"

At that moment, the bullet comments were all questioning why Argumentative Bastard was not accepting the connection request.

Many comments even said that they wanted to connect too, and if he really did not dare to do it, he should get lost already!

Without realizing it, Ye Yinchuan, who had once had to beg people to connect with him for treasure appraisals, was now being fought over by people wanting to connect with him.

The tables had turned!

Though he waited for a while, Argumentative Bastard eventually accepted Ye Yinchuan's connection request.

When Ye Yinchuan saw Argumentative Bastard appear on camera wearing Pi Shen Headgear, he could not help but laugh.

"Buddy, that headgear is pretty interesting. You could rob a bank without even changing your outfit!"

Argumentative Bastard merely sneered. "Cut the crap! Today, I'm going to see just how capable you, this streamer, really are!"

Bullet Comments in the live stream chat—

I Am Not Chao Xiong: How come the moment I came back, I saw a creepy Pikachu challenging the streamer? Did I miss something good?!

King Kiki: The teacher checked our phones during evening self-study, so I missed the stream. Can someone tell me what happened? Urgent!

Ms. Carrot: Hehe (∩_∩), the streamer just finished appraising mine. After my Oddish evolved, it really doesn't smell at all anymore! This Argumentative Bastard won't last long—he'll behave soon enough!

Nutritious Nonsense: He knows he's embarrassing himself, so he specifically went and found Pi Shen Headgear. What a disgrace to Pi Shen!

Spring Blooms: Young people are too stubborn. Streamer, teach him a good lesson and make him keep a low profile in the future! fist fist fist.jpg

Watching the live stream chat grow increasingly lively, Ye Yinchuan curled his lips slightly.

The more stubborn Argumentative Bastard was, the better. The more stubborn and arrogant he acted, the more entertaining it would be when his face got slapped later!

As the streamer, Ye Yinchuan had to keep up the momentum too.

"Come on, come on! Let's see who else in the live stream chat refuses to accept me today! Every single one of you—I'm not afraid! Get your Master Ball money ready! Bring out your Pokémon!"

Argumentative Bastard was fully fired up as well, immediately showing off his Pokémon.

It was unmistakably a Squirtle.

"Streamer, like Ms. Carrot just now, I came to you with a problem for appraisal. I won't tell you what it is—just take a look and tell me how my Squirtle is, and what issues it has!"

The moment Ye Yinchuan heard that, he gave an inward "oh-ho." This guy was coming in hard right from the start?

Just what he wanted!

"Point the camera properly and let me get a good look!"

Ye Yinchuan examined the Squirtle.

The Squirtle had a round little head and body, with thick, stubby limbs, each sporting three toes. It carried a turtle shell on its back, pale brown on top and pale yellow on the breastplate. Where the front and back connected ran a white, wavy frill as a transition.

Its tail looked like a curled-up wave, while its Water Blue skin gave it the distinct freshness unique to Water-type Pokémon. Its large purplish-red eyes looked somewhat panicked as they faced the camera, and its big mouth made it seem especially simple and honest.

Squirtle all looked more or less alike as individuals, with only minor differences. That did make them harder to appraise, and certain problems were also more difficult to spot.

He wondered whether Argumentative Bastard had done it on purpose, specifically choosing a Squirtle for him to inspect.

But no matter what, to Ye Yinchuan, this was a trivial matter.

He narrowed his eyes slightly as Appraisal Eye quietly activated. The Squirtle's status panel appeared before him. As Ye Yinchuan looked it over, his brows gradually furrowed, and he muttered to himself:

"How could this be? This shouldn't be possible..."

Tiny Turtle Pokémon: Squirtle

Level: 7

Type: Water

Gender: Female

Base Stats: C-Rank (314)

Individual Value: B-Rank (75)

Ability: Rain Dish

Nature: Timid

Skills: Tackle, Tail Whip, Withdraw

Status: Oxygen Deficiency, Depression, Panic

Special: Aquaphobia

Looking at this thing, Ye Yinchuan fell into deep thought.

How could a Squirtle have Aquaphobia? This was a freaking Water-type Pokémon!

The panic was understandable—after all, its Nature was Timid. It was perfectly normal for it to be scared in front of a camera.

But why did it have Oxygen Deficiency and Depression?

Something was off. Not just off—twelve out of ten levels of off!
