"Hello, streamer, I raised my little tortoise like it was my own child. I was so worried about it, how could I have let it turn out like this?"
Aunt Ba felt embarrassed and aggrieved, and she rubbed the hem of her clothes with her hands.
At the same time, she was puzzled as to why the anchor would say such things about her.
"It seems you really don't realize your own problem."
Ye Yinchuan sighed.
Indeed, many people are wrong without realizing it.
What does this mean? I don't understand. Isn't Aunt Ba a really nice person?
[Riddler, get out of the live stream!]
Ignoring the comments, Ye Yinchuan continued at his own pace:
"Do you usually feed this child a lot of sweets? Like cakes and candies?"
"Host, how did you know?"
Aunt Ba found it somewhat unbelievable.
This streamer in front of me even knows the details of how I feed my baby tortoise.
I didn't say anything.
Seeing Aunt Ba's reaction, Ye Yinchuan's case was now confirmed.
After all, there are other possibilities. I was just testing the waters, and this is how I found out.
"Auntie, what kind person would feed a baby crocodile sweets? It's a carnivore, feeding it sweets is just ridiculous!"
[No way, a baby tortoise eating sweets? That's outrageous!]
[That can't be right, Pokémon are like kids, they can eat snacks too.]
But what's the connection between the two? Does eating too much junk food damage your brain? Shouldn't eating sweets bring joy and pleasure?
"You don't know, my little tortoise loves sweets, like little cakes. It eats them very happily when I feed it to it."
"And it's not that I don't feed it meat and Pokémon food; sweets are just small snacks, especially before bedtime, it can't fall asleep without them."
"What the hell..."
Ye Yinchuan felt an urge to swear.
Feeding it sweets is one thing, but feeding it right before bedtime is another! Is it because they're afraid the baby tortoise won't get cavities?
But he held back.
After all, as a live streamer, one must be mindful of one's public image.
"Auntie, and some viewers in the live chat, what I'm saying is, since Pokémon are like little kids and can eat sweets..."
Upon hearing Ye Yinchuan say this, Aunt Ba even showed an expression and gesture that said, "That's right."
"...But the problem is, won't eating too many sweets cause cavities? And giving them to children right before bed is just asking for trouble!"
After what came next, Aunt Ba was dumbfounded, and even smiled inexplicably:
"Cavities? Pokémon get cavities? Aren't they supernatural creatures? Totodile's teeth are so strong, how could it get cavities? Streamer, you must be joking."
[Exactly, totoros rely on their teeth for food, are their teeth really that fragile?]
This is the first time I've ever heard of Pokémon getting cavities!
Ye Yinchuan, however, maintained a serious expression, showing no sign of smiling.
"I'm serious, I'm not joking. Supernatural beings are, first and foremost, living beings. The little saw-alligator's teeth are powerful, and its bite force is amazing, but that's all for fighting and carnivorous purposes."
Contrary to what you might think, precisely because they rarely come into contact with things like desserts, which are extremely high in sugar, in nature, their teeth are actually less resistant to sweets!
If you think Pokémon, or Totodile, don't get cavities, you're sorely mistaken! Think about it: since Pokémon get sick and injured just like us, why wouldn't they get cavities?
Were we wrong again?
[Host, next time you might as well just make us apologize directly, okay?]
[Long-time fans are laughing. I've always stood by the streamer, and I've never been proven wrong!]
After listening to Ye Yinchuan's explanation, Aunt Ba frowned, looking somewhat remorseful.
"Host, you mean my little totoro has cavities and a toothache, which is why it's chewing on things and its bite force has decreased? Is it because I often feed it sweets?"
"Absolutely."
"Sigh, I never thought that spoiling it so much would actually harm it."
Seeing that Aunt Ba had finally realized her mistake, Ye Yinchuan's tone softened again:
"It's nothing, just a cavity. It's still a minor issue. Go to the dentist to get it checked out and treated promptly. Just avoid feeding her sweets anymore, and she'll be fine."
Treatment for a baby alligator is likely to be expensive, given the risk of the veterinarian being bitten!
[Oh, so you can't feed Pokémon sweets?]
Seeing the comments, Ye Yinchuan became convinced that some people really would feed Pokémon anything.
It's understandable, really. It's like when I eat lamb skewers and find them delicious, I might want to try feeding them to the Ugly Fish as well.
As the saying goes, good things should be shared.
The problem is that what you think is good may not be good for Pokémon.
In particular, most things are best done in moderation.
Ye Yinchuan must emphasize this again:
"We still need to learn more about Pokémon. Feeding is the most basic and important part of raising Pokémon."
Sweets can be eaten as snacks, no problem.
But you need to control the amount, and don't feed them before bedtime. It's best to brush your baby's teeth after eating. If you can do that, there's nothing to worry about.
Hehe, I brush my little Ratta's teeth every day, and his front teeth are so clean and shiny, it's a pleasure to look at them...
Speaking of which, my cat has a really bad breath, shouldn't she brush her teeth?
Is this being too sentimental?
Ye Yinchuan did not respond to the question raised in the last bullet comment.
In the world before the time travel, people who cared about ordinary cats and dogs would brush their teeth.
One reason is for dental health, and the other is to avoid bad breath.
If ordinary cats and dogs are like this, how much more so Pokémon, which are more intelligent and spiritual, and more like human children?
So the answer is not pretentious at all.
Of course.
Generally, healthy Pokémon don't have much of a bad smell in their mouths, since they have a balanced flora in their mouths and their food is relatively clean.
"I understand, host. I'll take my little tortoise to the vet tomorrow. Ugh, I thought something was wrong, turns out it was because I fed it sweets. It's been having a toothache these past few days, always fussing, and I stupidly fed it sweets to soothe it..."
The more Aunt Ba reflected on her actions, the more she blamed herself.
It's precisely because he loves the baby alligator so much that he did this.
At that moment, the little alligator was also biting the cage with its teeth.
She was feeling a bit uncomfortable because of her toothache, but she still kept her eyes on Aunt Ba.
She seemed to sense Aunt Ba's emotions and was very concerned, but didn't know how to comfort her.
Ye Yinchuan noticed this detail and felt a warmth in his heart.
It's said that baby alligators are not easy to keep, as they are quite aggressive and can easily bite their owners.
But as long as you treat them with care, they will always be good babies.
"Auntie Ba, that's enough, don't be too sad. It's just a minor flaw. You're just naive, you didn't mean to be mean, you can correct it in the future. No one will blame you."
Aunt Ba nodded:
"Thank you so much, streamer. I've been watching your streams a lot these past few days. You've really helped a lot of people and a lot of Pokémon."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and began operating the machine.
[User "Crocodile King" has gifted a silver leaf*1!]
[Gift message: Host, this is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it!]
"Oh, you're too kind, you're too kind."
Ye Yinchuan glanced at the silver leaf, which was somewhat better than a Poké Ball, and smiled.
However, tonight's live stream will feature two connections: one with a Poké Ball and the other with a Silver Leaf.
It's more like a pittance...
It seems that encountering a big shot isn't so easy.
Having encountered so many in a row before, I guess there was an element of luck involved.
After the live stream ended, Ye Yinchuan started shouting:
"Family members, let's continue! Anyone need Pokémon appraisal? Any questions or problems? Feel free to ask the streamer; I'll answer everything I know!"
@DumbLiver:
[Hello, I'm a Slowpoke zookeeper at a Pokémon park. I think I've run into some trouble. One of the newly hatched Slowpokes is acting very strangely.]
Not only does it have a very unusual appearance, but it also won't eat Pokémon food or drink MooMoo milk. Now it won't eat or drink at all, what should I do? I'm afraid it's already weak from being born, and if it doesn't eat, it won't live to see tomorrow morning!
Urgent! Need help online! If you can solve this, I can send you two Master Balls! My salary isn't high, please help!
Looking at this long barrage of comments.
Ye Yinchuan didn't choose to skip the long passage; instead, his attention was drawn to it.
The words reveal a deep concern for Slowpoke's safety.
Ye Yinchuan was deeply moved.
Really, it wasn't because of the allure of those two Masters balls.
"You're the one."
Slowpoke is also one of Ye Yinchuan's favorite Pokémon.
The so-called Pokémon tourist park is actually the same as a zoo, just a more polite way of saying it.
[You have accepted the connection request from user "Dumb Zookeeper"!]
[Connection successful!]
As the screen appeared, Ye Yinchuan saw a young woman in work clothes. She looked anxious at first, but her face lit up with joy when she saw that the connection had been successfully established.
"Host, great! I finally got through to you! If you hadn't connected, I would have had to run to the Pokémon Center or Pokémon Hospital late at night! I was too busy to take care of all those newly hatched Slowpokes!"
The headmaster really values these Slowpokes; he said a leader will be coming to inspect tomorrow. I haven't dared to report this! Please, host, help me take a look!
It was already past 8 p.m.
There weren't many people in the tourist park.
The girl was standing in the area where the Slowpokes were, and in one of their hatching houses. Inside, there were lights and heating facilities, as well as all the tools needed to care for newly hatched Slowpokes, such as bottles, nutrient solutions, cleaning cloths, and so on...
Ye Yinchuan also saw it: a pile of eggshells and seven or eight newly hatched dazed beasts, lying there quietly.
Slowpoke looks chubby and plump, with two curled ears, round and large eye sockets, but only one pupil in each eye, giving it a dull look. It has short limbs and only one oval-shaped claw, which doesn't seem very dangerous. It has a tail with a lighter-colored tip.
Overall, Slowpoke is pink and cute, and also quite silly.
These Slowpokes have just hatched and are quite small and delicate. The sight of so many of them appearing on screen at once is quite visually striking.
Wow, so cute! Slowpoke is already adorable, but baby Slowpoke is absolutely adorable!
[Is this girl a zookeeper? She's still working so late, that must be tough!]
[This girl was surrounded by happiness upon seeing such a tiny Slowpoke for the first time!]
[That girl is so pitiful! Where's that Slowpoke with the problem? Let the streamer take a look!]
A barrage of comments flashed by.
"Where is that Slowpoke? Let me see."
Ye Yinchuan also got straight to the point.
He could tell that the girl was a little anxious.
He could understand this situation.
If you discover a problem, try to solve it yourself rather than letting your supervisor know.
Because some leaders are really difficult to get along with.
As for reporting to the Pokémon Center or having the Pokémon Hospital send someone, firstly, the cost is an issue, and secondly, it needs to be reported to the leadership first...
After all, a tourist park is a relatively large public institution, and any activity there is likely to attract attention, and it might even end up on short video platforms or in the news the next day.
For example—an ambulance and doctor arrived at a Pokémon amusement park late at night. What happened? Were any Pokémon sick or injured?
all in all.
Since the other party has reached out to me, it means they trust me.
Even if it's just for those two Master Balls and the adorable Slowpoke, Ye Yinchuan has to do his best today.
"Okay, please help me, streamer!"
The zookeeper turned the camera inward and captured a Slowpoke that hadn't been in the frame earlier.
When this silly little beast appeared before him, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"This...could it be?"
The comments section reacted swiftly as well.
【Ah... how can there be such a Slowpoke?】
[Oh my god, she's not cute at all!]
The color is so strange, it looks so old-fashioned, why does it look like this...?
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan also read the panel of this Slowpoke.
【The Silly Pokémon: Slowpoke】
[Level: 2]
[Attribute: Superpower]
[Gender: Female]
[Racial stats: C-rank (315)]
Individual Value: Grade A (186)
【Characteristic: Independent and unconventional】
[Personality: Stubborn]
Evolution Path: Slowpoke - Slowbro
[Skills: Impact, Spells]
[Status: Loss of appetite, hunger]
[Trait: Picky eater]
"Goodness, another mutation? But... this appearance, if I remember correctly, seems to be the Galar form of Slowpoke, right? I'm not sure, let me take another look..."
Looking at the Slowpoke's design and the interface, Ye Yinchuan had a lot on his mind in an instant.
This Slowpoke is indeed different from the usual Slowpoke at a glance.
The main difference lies in this.
The head and the tip of the tail of this Slowpoke are both a very obvious yellow color.
Moreover, there are three horizontal lines on his forehead, which look like wrinkles and make him look very old!
"I remember that the Slowpokes in the Galar region form are unique because they have been eating the seeds of a plant called Galar Cardamom for generations. As a result, the components of the plant have accumulated in their bodies, forming their unique appearance and abilities."
"It seems the spiciness stimulated its brain, making Galar Slowpoke's psychic power stronger, and causing it to become a Psychic-type Pokémon because it's not good at Water-types?"
Ye Yinchuan tried hard to recall and thought about how to organize his thoughts.
[Oh no, it's rare to see the streamer so silent, there might be a big problem!]
[A normal Shiny Slowpoke shouldn't elicit such a strong reaction from the streamer!]
I suspect he's just faking it for the sake of the show!
"Host, how's it going? Can you tell anything? Whenever I try to feed it milk, it resists and even spits it all out..."
[Girl, explain yourself clearly, how did you breastfeed?]
[Slowpoke usually eats whatever you give it, but this one is definitely different!]
"If I'm not mistaken, it's a picky eater."
Ye Yinchuan remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.
The girl, who had been full of anticipation, was stunned. She opened her mouth, but then hesitated to speak.
【? ? ? 】
[Host, are you kidding us? You're saying I'm picky about food? We can see through you!]
[I came here because of its reputation, but is this all the streamer is capable of?]
I thought the streamer was going to pull something big, but it turned out to be something truly massive!
"You don't understand."
Ye Yinchuan finally organized his thoughts and decided to proceed step by step, telling his story in a gentle and detailed manner.
"This Slowpoke isn't your average Slowpoke. First, it's extremely picky about food. Second, it's not just picky; the food you feed it simply doesn't suit its taste. Or rather, the food it craves is different from what you expect from a regular Slowpoke."
[Host, you've successfully confused me.]
【Then what?】
"What do you mean? I don't quite understand, host. So, is there any way to get it to eat?"
"have."
Ye Yinchuan decided to solve the problem of feeding this Slowpoke first, and then talk about other things later.
Do you usually eat spicy food?
This question once again stumped the girl.
But she still answered obediently:
"I eat, and I love to eat."
"That's good. Do you have any dried chili peppers? If not, chili powder will do. Mix it into MooMoo's milk and feed it directly to it, see if it eats it."
[6. Hey streamer, don't mess around! You'll make that girl lose her job!]
[No normal person would feed a newly hatched Pokémon spicy food, right?]
[Be careful, this could trigger stress; in severe cases, it could be fatal!]
Ye Yinchuan was also worried that he might have misjudged the situation, so he added:
"Just to be on the safe side, try feeding it a tiny bit first and see how it reacts."
The girl also had many doubts about Ye Yinchuan's statements.
But she had been watching the streamer for a while.
So, trust still exists.
The main concern is that the girls are suspicious because they believe that even the Pokémon Center and Pokémon Hospital might not be able to help with situations that can't be found online.
"Let's try it, even if it's a long shot! It shouldn't cause any major problems!"
The girl gritted her teeth and chose to believe the streamer.
"Host, I trust you so much, please don't ruin my life..."
"Don't worry, we'll just try a little bit first. It won't die. Even newly hatched Pokémon aren't that fragile."
[I get it! The streamer probably realized this Slowpoke is a picky eater, so he decided to torture it to teach it that there are even more terrifying foods in this world, and that it can eat normal food without making a sound!]
[To the person upstairs: I've been watching this streamer for a while now, and you know what, it's something a streamer would actually do!]
Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated by the speculations in the comments section.
Do you usually play this skillfully?
"I must say, you guys have a lot of imagination, but you're all wrong."
Okay, okay, we were wrong again?
[I never got to match it with the streamer in the live broadcast room...]
Soon, the girl got some dried chili powder, and in a new baby bottle, she filled it with some fresh milk and mixed it with the chili powder.
Even though only a little was added, the milk visibly turned red.
[Tsk tsk, if I were that Slowpoke, I'd behave myself...]
"Someone come here! Feed the young master milk!"
"Will this really work?"
Even at this point, the girl still had some doubts.
But trust in the streamer still outweighed reason.
She put the bottle into the Slowpoke's mouth.
Slowpoke initially showed little reaction, even frowning slightly, indicating some displeasure and resistance.
But the moment it drank the milk, it began to suckle.
His blank facial expression also revealed a hint of enjoyment.
【Wait, this Slowpoke really likes spicy food? Where is it from?】
[666! Streamer, you've once again broadened my horizons!]
[I'm speechless! Who would have thought of that? I really want to cut Kirby's head open and see what's inside!]
But... what exactly is the underlying principle?
Seeing the scene before him, Ye Yinchuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although he possessed the Pokémon knowledge he had before time travel, he also had a keen eye for Pokémon.
But everything is just speculation and experimentation based on limited conditions.
He wasn't 100% sure either.
After all, even if this is the Galarian form of Slowpoke, it likes to eat Galarian cardamom.
In this world, where do we go to find the Galer region, and where do we find Galer nutmeg to feed it?
Even if there were similar plants, it would be impossible to find them all at once.
There's no other way but to use a substitute.
Since Caleb is known to be spicy, perhaps if food were made spicy, this Slowpoke would be able to accept it.
As it turned out, Ye Yinchuan succeeded.
This also corroborates the point that this is the Galar region form of Slowpoke.
However, in the Pokémon world, it should be called a mutation.
"Host, this is amazing! What's going on? Why is it that some Slowpokes won't eat normal Moo Moo milk and prefer spicy food? Is this normal?"
The girl was filled with questions and was waiting for Ye Yinchuan to answer them.
It wasn't just her; the comments section was the same.
[Host, please elaborate!]
Please tell us! Otherwise, I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight!
Upon seeing this, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but laugh.
Aren't these comments exaggerated?
He took a tactical sip of water, cleared his throat, and began to speak:
"Actually, this Slowpoke is a mutation. Or rather, there used to be a group of Slowpokes that all looked like this, but they have disappeared or are hiding somewhere and have not been discovered by people."
I learned about Slowpoke because I saw a description of it in an ancient book called "The Travels of Galileo." It described Slowpoke's appearance and habits, including its fondness for eating the seeds of a spicy plant.
So I suspected that this Slowpoke might have the bloodline and genes of other Slowpokes, and also liked spicy food, so I had the girl do this experiment.
To be honest, I only have a superficial understanding of it, relying entirely on knowledge from books, and I don't have complete confidence in it.
But for this Slowpoke to be able to eat normally, for the girl to keep her job, and for the love and peace of this world, I have no choice but to risk my reputation as a streamer and give it my all!
[The host is truly knowledgeable!]
[Is this another "Travels of Galilee"? Did you write it yourself?]
[6...Love and peace have even come up; I almost believed it!]
[The host is so righteous! I admire him greatly!]
The 6k update is here! Regarding the previous comments about the detailed livestreams and training, as well as the book's overall structure and pacing, I've been carefully considering these points over the past few days. I do plan to speed things up later, especially with the training progress and certification matters. While the book doesn't specify a exact word count, plot development, or word limit, there is definitely a plan, or rather, a framework. The livestream Pokémon appraisal storyline is the main plot, while daily activities, training, and Pokémon improvement are side plots. This will not be changed arbitrarily. Therefore, if there is a speedup, I will let you know so you can be prepared, but the framework will remain the same. It's impossible for it to suddenly jump from daily Pokémon appraisals to constant battles.
