Ye Yinchuan took Little Snorlax to a Spicy Stir-fry Restaurant, where he met a level 26 Farfetch'd working as a waiter. After examining Farfetch'd and realizing it could not evolve into Sirfetch'd, Ye Yinchuan was asked what he wanted to eat.

• Ye Yinchuan banned Taro Bubble Tea for a year after the viewer insulted his fans.

• Ye Yinchuan’s appraisal revealed Doduo had the rare Two Heads Two Brains Trait, which gave its heads separate personalities and helped it grow stronger and gather Pokémon Energy efficiently.
• Ye Yinchuan explained that the Doduo’s frequent fights could help it grow, and its owner realized this might explain its fast leveling.
• Ye Yinchuan noticed Pokémon Energy gathering around Doduo and told the caller to bring the camera closer because Doduo seemed ready to comprehend a new Move.

Ye Yinchuan explained that Doduo’s two heads needed to settle their rivalry and that their owner had to establish authority over them. The owner released his Pikachu so Ye Yinchuan could demonstrate how to use Pokémon to rein in Pokémon.

• Doduo’s heads learned Peck Food and clashed with one another, leaving both temporarily dazed.
• Doduo’s owner separated the heads with a board, and Ye Yinchuan suggested their interrupted fights were preventing them from establishing a hierarchy.

• The owner released his Pikachu, and Ye Yinchuan prepared to demonstrate how to tame Doduo with another Pokémon.

• Ye Yinchuan inspected Big Bird’s female Pikachu and confirmed that it could control the strength of its Thunder Shock.
• Big Bird removed the board separating Doduo’s heads, and they immediately began pecking at each other.
• When Doduo ignored Big Bird’s commands to stop, Ye Yinchuan told him to have Pikachu shock the Hasty head, which injured it and revealed that the two heads shared some of their senses.
• Doduo’s heads resumed fighting after Big Bird allowed them to continue, so Pikachu shocked both until they became dizzy.

• A viewer offered to raise the Bulbasaur himself after Ye Yinchuan declined to take it, and Ye Yinchuan worried that accepting it might make viewers suspect him of hiding its Individual Value.

• Ye Yinchuan explained that Bonsly mimicked plants, had a decent Individual Value and Timid Nature, and cried to expel excess moisture rather than express sadness.

Ye Yinchuan welcomed the Bug Catcher Boy, a young Professional Trainer, onto his livestream to appraise his Bug-type Pokémon and discuss his plans to catch and trade them.

• Bug Catcher Boy hid in the grass as Ye Yinchuan and the viewers watched a swarm of Beedrill pass nearby.
• A Beedrill found the bushes, and Venonat used Psychic energy to immobilize it before it could alert the swarm.

• A Chong challenged the wild Scyther with his Level 32 Venomoth, which used Immobilization Technique, Poison Powder, Stun Spore, Confusion, Supersonic, and Bug Buzz against it.
