Chapter Summaries

Ye Yinchuan appraised several Pokémon on his livestream, including a Spearow with powerful potential and Triple Kick, before discovering that a listless Staryu was in love with its Trainer’s sister.

• Ye Yinchuan warned Uncle Bird that his Skarmory was too weak to defend against Mandibuzz and helped him select promising Spearow for the competition.

• Ye Yinchuan appraised several viewers’ Pokémon before accepting Believe in Light’s request about a listless Staryu.
• Ye Yinchuan suspected Staryu missed its close friend Piplup and suggested calling its Trainer’s sister, who had taken Piplup away to college.
• Staryu visibly perked up during the video call, and Ye Yinchuan realized it was in love with the sister rather than Piplup.

Ye Yinchuan explained how to handle Staryu’s one-sided romantic feelings for the Line Connector’s Sister, then appraised a newly hatched Togepi for another caller. The chapter ended with Ye Yinchuan warning that Togepi resisted people with bad intentions, leaving the caller and her boyfriend to consider what that meant.

• Ye Yinchuan identified Staryu’s pink, rapidly flashing core as a sign of courtship toward the Line Connector’s Sister and advised her to keep her distance and reject it clearly.
• The Line Connector and his Sister accepted Ye Yinchuan’s advice, and he moved on to a new call from Bobo No Nutrition.
• Bobo No Nutrition showed Ye Yinchuan an egg-shaped Pokémon, and he identified it as a naturally appearing Fairy-type Togepi rather than a mutation.
• Ye Yinchuan explained that Togepi was said to symbolize good luck, then appraised its Individual Value as around B-Rank and its Ability as Serene Grace.
• Togepi rejected the food offered by Bobo No Nutrition’s boyfriend, and Ye Yinchuan warned that Togepi resisted people with bad intentions.

Ye Yinchuan explained Serene Grace and Metronome before appraising a viewer’s Ledyba and revealing how its Run Away Ability could help it evolve with Iron Fist. He began to describe a way to improve its chances, leaving the Line Connector eager to hear the method.

• Ye Yinchuan explained that Serene Grace increased luck and pointed out that his Togepi’s body patterns were all hollow.
• Ye Yinchuan learned that Togepi generally needed to reach Level 30 to learn Metronome, but kept the information to himself.
• Ye Yinchuan appraised the Line Connector’s Level 18 Ledyba and found its Individual Value was A-Rank, its Nature was Timid, and its Ability was Run Away.
• Ye Yinchuan explained that Run Away could strengthen Pokémon under stress and could increase Ledyba’s chance of gaining Iron Fist after evolving into Ledian.
• Ye Yinchuan described how an Iron Fist Ledian could attack rapidly with its fists and feet, and the Line Connector asked whether it could compete professionally.
• Ye Yinchuan said he could improve Ledyba’s odds of gaining Iron Fist through tricks during evolution, and the Line Connector begged him to explain.

Ye Yinchuan guided Wen and Ledyba through a risky attempt to develop the Iron Fist Ability, and Ledyba evolved into an Iron Fist Ledian. He then accepted a call from explorer Xiao Ran, who offered ten Master Balls for each unfamiliar Pokémon species found on an uninhabited island.

• Ye Yinchuan explained that Ledyba could improve its chances of gaining Iron Fist by tempering its fists, but stressed that Wen needed Ledyba's consent and should prepare Potions.
• Wen tested Ledyba's resolve by driving his own fists into gravel, and Ledyba began punching the stones as it evolved.
• Ledyba became Ledian, whose metallic-sheened fists confirmed that it had gained the Iron Fist Ability.
• Ye Yinchuan warned viewers not to imitate Wen's reckless method, then selected Explorer R's call about unusual Pokémon on an uninhabited island.
• Explorer R introduced himself as Xiao Ran and offered ten Master Balls for each species Ye Yinchuan appraised.

Ye Yinchuan examined two newly discovered Pokémon for Xiao Ran’s expedition team while suspecting that they were criminals exploiting an uninhabited island. He learned through Pokémon voices that the team had captured nearly two hundred Pokémon despite its members’ legal quota, and continued stalling while the Pokémon Center and Dream Protection Bureau investigated.

• Xiao Ran gave Ye Yinchuan ten Master Balls and presented a caged Natu for identification.

• Ye Yinchuan secretly contacted the Pokémon Center and Dream Protection Bureau, which began tracing Explorer R and investigating the team.
• Ye Yinchuan used Listen to the Heart’s Voice and realized the roughly fifteen-person team had captured nearly two hundred Pokémon, far above its legal quota.
• Ye Yinchuan continued identifying the team’s Pokémon to buy the authorities more time.

Ye Yinchuan identified Meditite and Spritzee, explaining their abilities, potential, and temperaments while the Line Connector tried to recruit him and appraise the Pokémon. After learning the Line Connector was overseas and authorities might take time to act, Ye Yinchuan heard that Pokémon were attacking the islanders’ ship, and the Line Connector saw a chance to capture them.

• Ye Yinchuan recognized the third Pokémon as Meditite and refused the Line Connector’s attempt to recruit him.
• Ye Yinchuan explained Meditite’s low Base Stats, Pure Power, evolution, and the specimen’s B-Rank Individual Values and Telepathy Ability.
• Ye Yinchuan identified the fourth Pokémon as Spritzee and described its evolution, powerful abilities, and vengeful nature.
• The Line Connector learned his Spritzee had Speed Boost, while Ye Yinchuan received word that the Line Connector was overseas and authorities might be slow to respond.
• A commotion broke out as Pokémon gathered and attacked the ship, and the Line Connector decided he could profit by capturing them.

Ye Yinchuan watched the island Pokémon attack the Line Connector’s team and identified several powerful evolved Pokémon. The attackers turned the battle with electric web guns and three Dark-type Pokémon, but Kadabra began to glow as the island Pokémon prepared their plan.

• Ye Yinchuan identified Medicham, Psychic Ostrich, Farigiraf, and Xatu among the island Pokémon attacking the retreating team.
• Ye Yinchuan recognized Kadabra and Hypno as evolved Psychic-type Pokémon whose powers overwhelmed people and Pokémon on the Line Connector’s side.
• The Line Connector ordered his team to use electric web guns, and Ye Yinchuan noticed their R markings and suspected the group was connected to Team Rocket.
• The Line Connector released Houndoom, Mightyena, and Weavile, whose Dark-type attacks exploited the island Pokémon’s vulnerability and began shifting the battle.
• Kadabra closed its eyes and gripped its glowing spoon as Ye Yinchuan sensed that the island Pokémon’s plan was about to begin.

Ye Yinchuan and the island’s Pokémon fought the Line Connector’s poachers, who used illegal weapons to overpower them. As Kadabra collapsed after pushing itself to its limit, the Pokémon united their Mental Power to revive its strength, triggering its evolution into Mega Alakazam and leaving the invaders terrified.

• Kadabra closed its eyes and unleashed Mental Power that disabled the Line Connector’s technology and weakened his Pokémon while a Psychic Ostrich led an assault on the hold, freeing captured Pokémon.
• Ye Yinchuan confronted the Line Connector about imprisoning over two hundred Pokémon, but the Line Connector refused to abandon his plan to capture them all and ordered his men to use illegal weapons.
• The Line Connector’s weapons and Pokémon overwhelmed the island’s defenders, and Kadabra exhausted itself protecting its companions before Houndoom, Weavile, and Mightyena pinned it down.
• The island’s Psychic-type Pokémon gathered their Mental Power and poured it into Kadabra, which rose and evolved into Alakazam before transforming further into Mega Alakazam.
• Mega Alakazam warned the humans that they should not have come to the island, while the Line Connector and his accomplices recoiled in fear.

Mega Alakazam subdued the invading Line Connector’s team and forced them to repair the island, then Ye Yinchuan explained the strange Mega Evolution to his viewers. After ending the stream, he enjoyed time with his Pokémon, met a Frogadier delivering dinner, and went live again that evening.

• The Line Connector led his team in an attack, but Mega Alakazam restrained them all with Psychic power and communicated with viewers through the stream.
• Mega Alakazam ordered the invaders to repair the island, care for injured Pokémon, and perform hard labor until they repented, then used Mental Power to make them obey.
• Mega Alakazam reverted to Alakazam, and the stream cut off; Ye Yinchuan later explained the events and the possible cause of the Mega Evolution to his viewers.
• Ye Yinchuan contacted the Pokémon Center and Dream Protection Bureau, learned that authorities planned to protect the island, and checked his donations and Influence Points.
• Ye Yinchuan spent time with Rowlet before its likely evolution, then received dinner delivered by a Frogadier that climbed up to his window.
• Ye Yinchuan ate with his Pokémon, watched short videos, and started his evening livestream at seven.

During his live stream, Ye Yinchuan helped an Eevee with unstable evolution choose Jolteon, revealing that it might eventually switch between its three Evolutionary Forms. The stream ended with a new caller asking him to appraise a mysterious Dragon-like Pokémon unearthed during wilderness construction.

• Ye Yinchuan let viewers watch Aron eat metal ore before answering random Pokémon questions during his Line Connector segment.
• Ye Yinchuan examined a viewer's Eevee, which was in pain while showing traits of Vaporeon, Flareon, and Jolteon, and found it had the Unstable Evolution Trait.
• After learning the Eevee wanted to grow stronger and its owner favored Jolteon, Ye Yinchuan guided it to evolve with a Thunder Stone.
• The Eevee became a Jolteon that retained traits of Vaporeon and Flareon, but it became distressed when its owner brought it near a Fire Stone.
• Ye Yinchuan warned the owner to guide Jolteon's transformations gradually, then received a request from Land Development to appraise a Dragon-like Pokémon found during construction.

Ye Yinchuan identified the injured Pokémon unearthed at a construction site as a Larvitar, a hatchling of the disaster-causing Tyranitar, and urged the crew to report it and evacuate. As the Pokémon Center was on its way, the Larvitar called toward the ground, where another Pokémon began to emerge.

• Old Fang connected with Ye Yinchuan and showed him the injured Pokémon his crew had dug up while building a resort in a Beginner Grade Wild Area.
• Ye Yinchuan recognized the Pokémon as Larvitar and warned that its evolved form, Tyranitar, was a Disaster Pokémon known as the Sandstorm Green Dragon.
• Ye Yinchuan told the crew to report the discovery to the Pokémon Center, stop construction, and evacuate the area; he explained that Larvitar evolved through Pupitar and ate soil and rock to grow.
• The crew's Boss ordered them to stop the Pokémon Center from coming and continue construction, but Long Shao offered to confront the Boss, and Ye Yinchuan reassured the workers that force majeure meant they would not owe a breach-of-contract penalty.
• Larvitar called toward the soil, and Ye Yinchuan warned the crew that another Pokémon was about to emerge from underground.

Ye Yinchuan explained Pupitar and Tyranitar to his livestream audience after Pupitar emerged to protect Larvitar, then revealed that Tyranitar might have a temporary further evolution. The call ended, and Ye Yinchuan prepared to investigate a viewer's unusual Shiny Zigzagoon.

• Pupitar burst from the ground beside Larvitar, and Ye Yinchuan identified it as Larvitar's older brother while warning the construction crew to back away and leave the situation to the Pokémon Center.
• Ye Yinchuan explained Larvitar and Pupitar's Types, Tyranitar's evolution requirements, its Sand Stream Trait, and how development during the Pupitar stage could affect Tyranitar's eventual size and strength.
• Ye Yinchuan told the viewers that Tyranitar's body holes released energy and could be both weak points and powerful weapons, then ended the call with the construction crew.
• Ye Yinchuan revealed that ancient texts described Tyranitar evolving again temporarily through special energy, shocking the livestream audience.
• Ye Yinchuan received a message from Xiong Da about a Shiny Zigzagoon emitting black smoke as it neared evolution and began looking for the next caller.

Ye Yinchuan explained that Xiong Da’s black-and-white Zigzagoon was the rare original Galarian form, not a mutation, and revealed its Dark-type potential and unusual Dark Gluttony Trait. Both Zigzagoon evolved during the stream, leaving the audience with a newly evolved ordinary Linoone and a menacing Galarian Linoone.

• Ye Yinchuan accepted Xiong Da’s connection request and identified the black-and-white Zigzagoon as the original Galarian form rather than a mutation or Shiny Pokémon.
• Ye Yinchuan explained that the Galarian Zigzagoon’s black smoke came from developing Dark-type energy and discussed its potential to learn Thief and Fling, as well as its possible mastery of Dark Pulse.
• Ye Yinchuan appraised the Galarian Zigzagoon, revealing its Glutton Ability and Dark Gluttony Trait, which amplified its appetite, growth, and Dark-type moves.
• Ye Yinchuan told Xiong Da to feed the Zigzagoon more and guide its training carefully so it would not become a disobedient bully.
• The ordinary Zigzagoon evolved into Linoone, then the Galarian Zigzagoon evolved into a black-and-white Galarian Linoone with red eyes and a battle-ready appearance.

Ye Yinchuan explained Galarian Linoone’s evolution into Obstagoon and its battle style, then shared the conditions for evolving it during his livestream. After answering several viewers’ questions about their Pokémon, he read a comment about a Marshtomp whose changed expression reminded him of something.

• Ye Yinchuan explained that Galarian Zigzagoon’s combative nature and environmental pressures contributed to its decline, while regular Zigzagoon may have survived by moving elsewhere.
• The two newly evolved Linoone clashed, and Ye Yinchuan explained Galarian Linoone’s Dark-type advantage and revealed that it could evolve into Obstagoon.

After training Rowlet and Aron and tasting several Berries with his Pokémon, he began his afternoon stream and noticed a viewer asking for help with a mysterious Pokémon in a Poké Ball.

• Ye Yinchuan examined the caller’s Marshtomp and explained that its Egg Move Foresight and See Through Everything Trait caused its strange appearance and gave it a major battle advantage.
• Ye Yinchuan ended the call, then took Rowlet and Aron out for Overlord’s Shadow training; Aron struggled through its first session while Rowlet fought with practiced skill.
• Rowlet began showing signs of evolution the next morning, while Aron recovered and rose from Level 1 to Level 8, learning Metal Claw and Rock Tomb.

• Ye Yinchuan guessed that Naluduo's strange Pokémon had appeared after his Nincada evolved and asked him to release it.
• Naluduo released his Ninjask and then the eerie Pokémon from a locked Poké Ball, revealing it as Shedinja.
• Ye Yinchuan explained that Shedinja formed when Nincada's shed shell became inhabited by a soul, and described its possible connection to the Nincada line.
• Ye Yinchuan reassured Naluduo that Shedinja would not suck out someone's soul just from a glance and said it shared Nincada's Individual Values and Gentle Nature.
• Ye Yinchuan explained that Shedinja had the powerful Wonder Guard Ability, which blocked most attacks but remained vulnerable to certain move types, abnormal status, and environmental damage.

Ye Yinchuan explained Shedinja’s limits and advised callers about unusual Pokémon, including a muscle-bound Fighting-type Pidgeot and a Tyrogue that evolved into Hitmontop. After dinner, he and his Pokémon packed up their old home with Bai Zhi’s help, and she suspected Rowlet would evolve that night.

• Ye Yinchuan told a caller that Shedinja could serve as a defensive shield but still suffered damage from Pokémon-generated weather, status conditions, and wear on its shell.

• Ye Yinchuan began his stream with Bai Zhi and appraised a female Aipom whose growing lump was a second tail, explaining that it was a healthy mutation that would give it an advantage.
• Ye Yinchuan explained that Aipom’s Skill Link Ability strengthened repeated-hit moves, and the viewer thanked him with three Gold Leaves.
• A viewer connected with a blue, ball-shaped Pokémon, and Ye Yinchuan recognized it as a Jumpluff nearing the end of its life because its Cotton Spores could no longer regenerate.
• Ye Yinchuan told the viewer to feed Jumpluff and warned him to wear a mask around its Cotton Spores.
• The viewer gave Jumpluff Pokémon Food, and it flew into the night wind, turning back to wave before disappearing.

Ye Yinchuan watched Rowlet evolve into a beautiful Shiny Dartrix and explained its traits to the livestream audience. After Bai Zhi styled Dartrix’s feathers to match its preferred feminine look, Ye Yinchuan prepared to connect with a viewer whose Primeape had developed Ghost-type Energy.

• The Line Connector found a Cottonee Seed, and Ye Yinchuan explained that it could be raised into a Hoppip Egg; the Line Connector chose to keep it.

Bad Temper agreed to Ye Yinchuan’s online guidance after Primeape chose to become stronger, and Ye Yinchuan began with the first step: mastering Fury Fist.

• Bad Temper showed Ye Yinchuan his Primeape, and Ye Yinchuan found that it had an Evolution Trend and already knew Fury Fist.
• Ye Yinchuan explained that Fury Fist gathered rage and could help Primeape evolve into Annihilape by escaping the body’s limits when its fury became extreme.
• Bad Temper worried that a failed evolution would kill Primeape, and Ye Yinchuan clarified that Fury Fist instead offered a way to survive the danger of Primeape’s rage.
• Ye Yinchuan offered to guide Primeape’s evolution online, and Bad Temper asked Primeape for its opinion before agreeing.
• Primeape eagerly chose to evolve, and Ye Yinchuan said its first task was to master Fury Fist.
