Watching the Silly Beast Baby suck on the pacifier, continuously drinking the Moo Moo milk mixed with chili powder.
After hearing Ye Yinchuan's explanation, the zookeeper was momentarily stunned before repeatedly expressing her gratitude:
"Ah, thank you so much. Even if the Pokémon Center and Pokémon Hospital came, they might not be able to resolve this situation so quickly and effectively, right?"
Ye Yinchuan said modestly:
"I believe they are more professional than me. After all, I'm just an amateur Pokémon appraiser, not a professional veterinarian. By the way, you can give Slowpoke more; it definitely won't have enough to drink."
Reminded, the girl quickly got to work.
At this point, the viewers in the live chat still had many questions and curiosities about this mutated Slowpoke.
[Host, could you elaborate? What does *The Travels of Galilee* say?]
What are the characteristics of this type of Slowpoke?
"Yeah, host, tell me more about it. Are there any things I need to be careful about if I want to raise this Slowpoke?"
At this moment, the girl prepared more spicy milk for Slowpoke, and while feeding it to him, she also kept asking questions.
"Well... you're a Slowpoke trainer, so you actually know more about raising Slowpokes than I do. These Slowpokes aren't that different from regular Slowpokes, except for their tastes."
If I had to say something, firstly, it has superpower attributes. Furthermore, because the components of the spice will continuously accumulate in its body, they will gradually concentrate and produce toxins.
After evolving into Slowbro, it will be very different from other Slowpokes, possessing highly potent toxicity. It will become a dual-type Poison/Psychic.
This is a complicated story...
In short, if possible, I still don't recommend letting it come into contact with Shellder, lest it evolve into Slowbro. If it goes berserk, it's very difficult to control and far more dangerous than a regular Slowbro.
At this point, Ye Yinchuan paused, observing the girl's and the comments' reactions.
If you ramble on and on, what if the other person gets distracted? Wouldn't all your talk have been for nothing?
As expected, there were many questions in the comments section.
What is the connection between Slowpoke's evolution and Shellder?
I really want to know what Slowpoke looks like when it evolves into Slowbro!
[I've noticed something! A lot of the mutations are psychic! And there are way too many psychic-type abilities appearing here on the streamer's channel!]
"Oh, is that so? I understand, I'll be careful."
The girl listened, somewhat surprised, and nodded.
"You're really amazing, streamer! You even know what kind of Slowpoke it will evolve into, Slowbro."
Ye Yinchuan responded:
"I learned all of this from books, so I can't guarantee anything. After all, yours is just a bit like a bloodline reversion, and it might just evolve into an ordinary Slowbro."
I'm just offering some suggestions; the specifics depend on your park's plans.
By the way, many viewers don't know what the connection is between Slowpoke's evolution and Shellder. Girl, could you explain this to everyone? You're Slowpoke's trainer now.
Ye Yinchuan felt his mouth was dry after talking for so long.
We've decided to recruit some girls to be free live streamers.
The young woman didn't hold back either, and when it came to her professional field, she started explaining to the audience:
"For a long time, people thought that Slowpoke couldn't evolve. It wasn't until later that someone discovered Slowbro in the wild."
As the girl spoke, she turned on the computer in the incubation room and displayed several pictures of Slowpoke.
"Our tourist park keeps some silly-looking creatures, look..."
[Isn't it just Slowpoke standing up?]
[There's something growing on its tail, is that a tongue clam? The appearance is quite different, isn't it?]
That thing really did look like a living creature...
Ye Yinchuan admired the appearance of the Dumb Beast, simply nodding without interrupting the girl's mouth.
If you look closely, there are still significant differences, except for when they are standing up.
For example, their limbs have become longer.
The forelimbs grew three claws, while the hind limbs became more developed, with two thick and long toes.
As for the "giant tongue clam" mentioned later.
It has a spiral-shaped shell structure covered with spikes and patterns, and a pair of slightly fierce eyes. You can vaguely see sharp teeth piercing into the flesh of Slowpoke's tail.
"At first, we didn't know what kind of Pokémon was on Slowbro's tail. Because there isn't a single Pokémon that looks like that."
Until a researcher accidentally witnessed Slowpoke using its tail to catch a Shellder, and then evolution occurred.
He excitedly recorded the scene and realized that Slowbro was evolved from Shellder biting Slowpoke's tail.
And afterwards, he conducted numerous experiments to verify this. Only now can we confirm that Slowbro is an evolution of Slowpoke and Shellder.
Ye Yinchuan nodded in agreement.
Although the people in this world as a whole have a serious lack of understanding of Pokémon.
However, there are also a large number of researchers who specialize in studying Pokémon.
Even without their own popular science education, it is estimated that in a few years, people's understanding of Pokémon will reach a fairly high level of knowledge.
Of course, this is definitely not something that can be done overnight.
In particular, some of the Pokémon knowledge is really obscure.
Just like the relationship between Slowpoke and Shellder, without that one chance encounter, it would probably be difficult for people to discover and understand it.
[Did Slowpoke use its tail to lift a Shellder?]
[Excuse me, is Slowpoke's tail delicious?]
The girl also answered the questions raised in the live chat:
"That's right, Slowpokes use their tails to fish for food. Their tails emit a faint sweet smell, which seeps out when soaked in water. Although they don't have any special nutritional value, tasting them gives you a particularly blissful feeling."
There are now business owners specializing in milk tea drinks who are investing in research, hoping to extract components from Slowpoke's tail and add them to their beverages to develop amazing Slowpoke drinks!
Speaking of this, the female zookeeper was a little excited and proud.
As a Slowpoke keeper, she must love these Slowpokes and be proud of them; otherwise, she would be unable to handle the arduous work of caring for them.
As we all know, raising even one Pokémon is a very demanding task, let alone raising a whole group.
Otherwise, she wouldn't still be working overtime at this hour.
"Slowpoke drinks? That's interesting."
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but admire how business-savvy these people were; how come he hadn't thought of that?
It is not yet in production or widely available, presumably because the cost is too high.
"Some people say that after Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro, its tail is always being bitten. Doesn't it hurt?"
Actually, Slowpokes have very poor senses. They use their tails to fish for food, and even if their tails are bitten, they may not feel it. Even if you hit them with a stick, they will only feel the pain after five seconds.
Especially after evolving into Slowbro, the toxins from Shellder will make it even more numb. It's said that the toxins can even invade the brain, making the already slow-witted Slowbro even slower…”
Isn't that Slowpoke that evolved into Slowbro quite pitiful?
Shellder is so mean, bullying Slowpoke.
"Uh, that's just hearsay. Slowpoke is inherently silly, so Shellder shouldn't be blamed. Besides, in the wild, Slowpoke and Shellder evolve together into Slowbro, which is actually a symbiotic relationship."
Slowpoke can use the shell on its tail to launch powerful attacks to deal with enemies.
Shellder survives by eating what Slowpoke leaves behind, probably a substance secreted from its tail. Besides being sweet, it also has a savory flavor, which Shellder really likes.
Some studies suggest that the schefflera evolved its spiral shape to capture more flavor!
I'm really curious if Shellder eats Slowpoke's poop.
Does Slowpoke poop? Is it pink?
[If Slowpoke gets bitten by a Shellder, can it no longer fish?]
"If a Slowpoke's tail falls off along with a Shellder or is cut off, it can regenerate, but it will degenerate into a Slowpoke. That's why we say they have a close and inseparable symbiotic relationship."
Someone just asked if Slowpoke's tail is delicious, so let me answer that. Basically, Slowpoke's tail often falls off.
Most of these tails will be collected and handed over, but as a zookeeper, you can keep some to take home.
Slowpoke's tail is very delicious, with a natural sweetness. Whether it's dried into cured meat or used to make soup, it's very tasty.
Because Slowpoke's tail can regenerate and it doesn't hurt when it falls off, we don't feel any psychological burden when we eat it.
"Host, could you give me an address later? To thank you, I've decided to send you two Slowpoke tails so you can try them out."
Hearing the female zookeeper say that, Ye Yinchuan felt embarrassed.
He also discovered that there was one advantage to live streaming: it was easy to get free food and drinks.
As for the possibility of being poisoned...
Ye Yinchuan still believed that as long as it wasn't something of dubious origin, it shouldn't be that serious.
[Damn it! Don't let her easy tone fool you, Slowpoke's tail is incredibly valuable!]
I just checked the price online, 3,000 yuan a stick, ugh...
I'm so envious! I have to report this streamer!
"Is it really that expensive?"
Ye Yinchuan had never inquired about Slowpoke's tail.
Judging from the comments, it's much more valuable than I imagined.
No wonder you rarely see anyone selling Slowpoke.
This detached tail is so valuable, it's worth as much as a starter Pokémon egg.
The price of Slowpoke itself is definitely not low!
"Your intentions are kind, but giving me something so precious... won't you have a good time explaining this to your park management and your superiors?"
"Oh dear, we zookeepers don't earn much, we work overtime every day, and we even have to sleep with these kids. This is all part of our employee benefits."
Taking one or two back home a week is normal. There was a woman who took five at once and shared them with her relatives without any problem.
As long as we don't sell it for money, it's fine. The main problem is we don't have the channels or sales permits, and we can't sell it anyway.
Can I be a zookeeper for a month? Nothing special, I just love Slowpoke.
Hey upstairs, your drool's dripping onto my face.
The abacus was so loud it bounced in my face.
"Okay, that works then."
Seeing that the other party said that, Ye Yinchuan didn't hold back.
He still really wanted to try Slowpoke's tail; it was much more palatable than eating a real Pokémon.
Speaking of which, that guy, Ah Gui, who's a professional water-type trainer, sent himself a Savage Bass and a Finch, which are still on their way...
Once I receive it myself, I'll really have to think about how to handle it.
"Thanks for the explanation, little sister. You mentioned Slowpoke's tail, so I'd like to add something. This mutated Slowpoke's tail isn't sweet; it's spicy."
As long as it hasn't evolved into a Slowbro, its tail is edible and non-toxic. But once it evolves into a Slowbro, you absolutely must not eat it.
The girl nodded; this was a detail worth noting.
If we were to give the leader the tail of this mutated, dull-shelled beast and it poisoned him, that would be a real problem.
This Slowpoke is actually pretty nice; it knows I like spicy food...
[Great! Theoretically, could we determine the flavor of Slowpoke's tail by adjusting its usual food?]
Seeing the comments, Ye Yinchuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
That's why everyone in the live stream is so talented and speaks so well.
But it must be said that this is indeed a research direction.
If it weren't for the fact that Slowpokes are a bit troublesome to raise, large-scale breeding of Slowpokes and then selling their shed tails would be possible, and you could even differentiate them by taste...
discharge!
It's not a mental hospital, it's an elite business school.
That's so capitalist!
"Hey sis, just take good care of this mutated Slowpoke. If you raise it well, talk to your boss, and they might even give you a reward. Anything else?"
"That's all, that's all."
The connection has been lost.
[User "Dumb Zookeeper" gifted a Master Ball x2!]
[Gift message: The streamer is handsome and talented, I love him!]
"Wow...wait, I didn't see you being this enthusiastic and outgoing during the live stream. Now that the camera's off, you're showing your true self?"
Ye Yinchuan was a little embarrassed by all this.
@Ms. Carrot:
On behalf of all the female fans, I'd like to ask: Is the streamer single?
Seeing his first female fan and moderator jump out to interact, Ye Yinchuan responded with a smile:
"I'm single, but right now I can only support myself and my Munchlax. I sit here all day and don't have much of a social life, let alone any romantic relationships."
[Don't worry, streamer. Pick any of your female fans; you'll probably find plenty who admire you!]
Have you ever considered not being so rigid about gender? I could be the streamer's boyfriend!
[I can't accept this, streamer! Please don't make fried noodles!]
Ye Yinchuan ignored the comments.
Joking around is fine, but know when to stop.
As for finding a partner, he hasn't really considered it yet.
Once you get used to it, it's hard to find someone who meets the same conditions as before.
If I absolutely had to find someone, I would definitely want someone who loves Pokémon as much as I do, has a good temper, and appreciates my livestreaming career.
As for whether it's pretty or not, it must be pleasing to the eye; I don't ask for anything else.
Of course, the prettier the better; who doesn't like pretty girls?
You know what, after being teased like that by the comments, Ye Yinchuan was actually a little tempted.
But then the doorbell rang.
"It's halftime, I'll go open the door."
Ye Yinchuan greeted the audience and then left his seat.
Standing outside the door was a Pokémon, Heracross.
"Hello, it's me, your package has arrived."
A man's voice rang out, startling Ye Yinchuan.
Upon closer listening, it turned out to be Wen, the innkeeper. It turned out that Heracross was wearing a microphone for communication.
"It's so late, why are you letting this kid deliver packages to our door?"
Ye Yinchuan roughly understood that Ah Wen hadn't come in person, but had Heracross deliver it to him.
"Hey, I didn't want to delay you since it's your package and a small item, so I just delivered it to you directly."
I'm watching your live stream. Hey streamer, if you're looking for a partner, I can introduce you to some. I know plenty of young, single, beautiful women, and they're all from around here…”
"Uh... thank you, but boss, you're a married man."
Ye Yinchuan muttered to himself.
At the same time, he always felt like he was being insulted when he heard the word "small package".
"What are you thinking? I mean I have a client group, and if I post your information there, I guarantee quite a few girls will be interested. You're handsome, kind-hearted, knowledgeable, have a good relationship with Pokémon, and are ambitious..."
"Boss! Don't flatter me like that! It's giving me goosebumps!"
Ye Yinchuan rarely interrupts others.
But being praised like that by a man late at night is indeed a bit overwhelming.
Hercules waited patiently, his eyes filled with friendliness and sincerity as he looked at Ye Yinchuan.
Last time, if it weren't for Ye Yinchuan's help, its owner and boss, Ah Wen, would have really been dead.
Therefore, Ye Yinchuan's position in its heart is no less than that of Ah Wen.
"Heracross, you're so sweet. Thank you. I've taken the package; you can go back now."
Ye Yinchuan took the package down and felt it was a bit heavy and wobbly.
He suddenly realized what this was.
"Could it be... Suijun's foot bath water?"
Ye Yinchuan became excited and delighted.
It's unknown how much of Suicune's power remains within it.
"Come, come, family, I'm going to show you something special today."
After watching Heracross leave, Ye Yinchuan brought the small item to the camera.
"Guess what this is?"
At this point, the package had been partially opened, revealing a thermos filled with water. This confirmed that it was indeed the "Water King Foot Bath Water" that Ah Chong had sent.
Or to put it another way, holy water purified by the legendary Pokémon Suicune!
What is it? Why are you being so mysterious!
[Could it be Suicune's water?!]
[Upstairs, please elaborate: Where did Mizuki's water come from?]
"This is so boring, you guys guessed it right away."
Ye Yinchuan simply opened the package and took out the thermos containing the Water Lord's Holy Water.
[It really is true, streamer! Let us see!]
[I didn't see Suicune in the last livestream, but will we get to see her drinking water this time?]
Ye Yinchuan opened the thermos.
In an instant, a spiritual light emerged, filled with a sense of coolness and holiness.
The light shone all around, as if it should be accompanied by some high-class background music.
"Not much energy has dissipated!"
This was a pleasant surprise for Ye Yinchuan.
It must be because the thermos cup has a very good seal.
He looked at the water in the glass; it was clear and free of any impurities.
Although there was a chill in the air, it was also relatively mild.
You can almost feel the north wind blowing on your face, and ripples spreading across the calm lake, which invigorates your spirit.
"Look at this..."
Ye Yinchuan pointed the camera at the water in the cup.
He couldn't describe how he felt at that moment.
At the same time, he seemed to have a fuller understanding of what Ah-Chong felt when he saw Suicune with his own eyes and drank directly from that purified lake.
It will definitely be even more intense than it was before!
"Family members, come and drink some of Water-kun's foot bath water!"
Ye Yinchuan was afraid that the energy in Shui Jun's foot bath water would dissipate, so he quickly found a few cups, poured it out, and divided it into portions.
One cup for me, one cup for Munchlax, one cup for Litten, and one cup for Feebas.
One more cup... Wood Owl!
Five cups of water were poured from the thermos, and there was still some left.
Ye Yinchuan didn't want to waste any, so he tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth.
In an instant, a clear spring surged in my throat, flowing down and through my entire body!
"How amazing!"
Ye Yinchuan's eyes seemed to have become clear and bright.
He could clearly feel that the fatigue and soreness in his body were melting away like ice and snow meeting the sun!
"Meow!"
Ye Yinchuan poured the water into a bowl and let the Fire-spotted Cat lick it slowly.
"Click!"
The little Snorlax tilted its head back and drank a cup.
"Aru!"
Ugly Fish, on the other hand, floated its head to the surface with its mouth open, and Ye Yinchuan poured it directly in.
With each opening and closing of his mouth, he dared not waste a single drop.
"Well done, Ugly Fish! You're so sensible in this crucial moment!"
Seeing how much the ugly fish was cherished, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but praise it.
For the last two cups, Ye Yinchuan picked up one himself, brought it to his lips, and fully felt the moisture moistening his lips and tongue before it slowly flowed into his mouth, filling his mouth and teeth, and finally flowing down his throat.
Before I knew it, the glass was empty.
The remaining glass was almost full, its surface shimmering and incredibly tempting, as if calling out to Ye Yinchuan:
"Come on, come on, another cup. Anyway, Woody Owl hasn't hatched yet, giving it to it might be a waste, why don't you drink it yourself?"
But Ye Yinchuan shook his head, clearing his eyes.
He walked steadily toward Wood Owl.
Since we're all family, why doesn't Woodowlet have such precious holy water?
It was just an egg at the time.
But this water, brimming with strange energy, must have been even more valuable to it, which had once been weakened!
[I just came in, is the streamer crazy? Why is he acting all weird just from drinking water?]
Is this the latest way to livestream? Sharing water with your pet?
[Yeah, he's insane... This is holy water purified by Suicune, and he's feeding it to the fish, but he's even pouring it on the eggs!]
[This is a tonic, streamer! You're wasting it! If all else fails, I can be your Pokémon egg!]
At this moment, the viewers in the live stream all realized the streamer's intention.
But Ye Yinchuan had already made up his mind.
He then brought over a basin and placed the Woody Owl's egg on it to prevent water from dripping down and being wasted.
Then, he poured the water in his hand, little by little, onto Owl's egg.
A glistening drop of water formed a broken, intermittent silver thread that seemed about to separate but remained connected, and dripped onto the Wood Owl Egg.
Something magic happened.
The water droplets that landed on the Woodowl Egg seemed to be absorbed directly, quickly dissolving without a trace.
Even if some of it flows down, it will be absorbed before it reaches the bottom of the basin.
"It worked! My guess was right!"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but smile, revealing a look of joy.
As for what the comments said, he's crazy; he doesn't care at all.
The holy water of the Water Lord is indeed precious.
But Rowlet is his family. Doesn't he know what a family is? Doesn't he know what a bond is?
If this holy water can completely restore Owl Egg to its health, or even make it better.
So, it's much more meaningful than him indulging in another drink!
"This is……"
When Ye Yinchuan discovered that the Wood Owl's egg had begun to glow.
There's also Snorlax, Litten, and Feebas.
Even on one's own body surface, there is a special energy that moves and floats like starlight.
He knew that the holy water of the Water Lord had begun to take effect!
Here's an update of 12,000 words! The Slowpoke storyline has come to a temporary end! The Suicune storyline continues!
(End of this chapter)
