Ya Ya was taken aback by Ye Yinchuan's question.
She turned her head and asked in return:
"Which Pokémon are you referring to? Horsea, or Tentacruel? Have you discovered something wrong?"
At this moment, the team from Yangyang Aquarium looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What does he mean?"
"Are they trying to pick a fight?"
Ye Yinchuan shook his head and pointed to the white Pokémon:
"It's a baby sea lion. I wanted to ask, are you just keeping baby sea lions in the water like this?"
Ya Ya suddenly realized:
"Oh, you mean it? Don't worry, host, we know that baby sea lions need to breathe, so please don't worry..."
"It's not a problem with breathing."
Ye Yinchuan thought to himself, but out of politeness, he didn't interrupt Yaya.
"Our aquarium is not completely sealed; it is connected to other places. For example, the small sea lions often dive down to swim, and when they need to breathe, they go up to the surface through a special channel."
At this time, her team:
"If the baby sea lions aren't kept in the water, where are they kept?"
"Exactly! Just in terms of knowledge, this Kabi Appraiser isn't even as good as our Yaya!"
At this moment, Ya Ya proudly introduced how big their aquarium was, how many kinds of Pokémon they had, and which Pokémon were rare.
But Ye Yinchuan shook his head.
It seems that this aquarium has not yet realized the problem, or rather, it has simply ignored it.
Because he noticed something was wrong with the baby sea lion's condition.
"There might be something wrong with the design of your aquarium."
Having come this far, Ye Yinchuan didn't mince words and got straight to the point.
Ya Ya's expression changed instantly.
She was representing the Yangyang Aquarium behind her, and now, in front of so many people in the live broadcast room, someone was saying that the aquarium's design had problems, which was incredibly embarrassing for her.
"How could that be... Our aquarium was designed by professionals, and our sea lions are all well-fed and plump..."
Ya Ya explained.
[The host never speaks without reason; if he said there was a problem, I definitely believed him!]
[What they said makes sense, doesn't it? This baby sea lion is indeed much fatter than the wild ones, like a little ball of flesh, which means it's been well cared for.]
"Take us to see where the baby sea lions are."
Ye Yinchuan did not directly refute.
He also needed to confirm whether what he was seeing was an isolated case or if there was a real problem.
"What do we do now?"
Ya Ya whispered to her team members.
"Take him along? Can't you see he's already lost his nerve? He's just shooting himself in the foot. Everyone says Snorlax is invincible and unbeatable. If he gets humiliated here at Yangyang Aquarium today, that'll be interesting."
The director, with his legs crossed, said with great interest.
They also knew that all the baby sea lions in the aquarium were plump and white, and there couldn't be any major problems.
Soon, Ya Ya arrived at another location in the aquarium.
This place is more like a Pokémon tourist attraction, with water and land.
There was a designated area for the baby sea lions, where many of them were lying lazily.
Some baby sea lions came out of the water, jumped onto the shore, moved around a few times, and then stopped moving.
Haha, these baby sea lions are so fat, they look like little meatballs!
[What do you mean sea lion? That's a baby sea pig!]
The viewers in the live chat were all making fun of it.
Ya Ya, along with the aquarium staff, were quite pleased with themselves.
In their view, this is a sign that the aquarium has taken good care of the Pokémon, which is what is meant by them being plump and healthy.
Dewprik is a Water-type Pokémon.
Its appearance is that of a sea lion; although it looks white, its fur is actually a very light blue.
The baby sea lion has a single horn on its head, two protruding teeth in its mouth, and a tail that is split in two, resembling a fish tail.
Its appearance and expression are both honest and cute, making it very likable.
Especially these chubby little sea lions, each with a round head and a round belly.
"Aren't the Snorkeling beetles adorable? Have we not taken good care of them? Saying that is questioning the entire staff of Yangyang Aquarium, and you have a responsibility to do that!"
At this moment, Ya Ya also received the information from the director, and her words became sharper.
[Oh no, the streamer has been outmaneuvered!]
[Long-time fans aren't worried at all; what storms haven't they weathered?]
Why does Ya Ya seem a bit aggressive?
[Tch, it was your streamer who started it all by saying there was a problem. Who could tolerate that?]
Such friction has arisen.
Many spectators and fans on both sides were also there to watch the spectacle.
They were running back and forth between the two sides of the live stream, each acting independently, with a tendency towards heated arguments.
"It's cute, and you may have tried your best. But there's a problem, and there's a problem."
Ye Yinchuan remained the same as before, intolerant of any wrongdoing.
He didn't want things to get too tense.
However, his attitude is unlikely to change or be compromised for fear of escalating the conflict.
"Okay! So tell me, what exactly is our problem?"
Ya Ya also felt that the other party was very unreasonable.
[You're not saying anything anymore, I'll use you instead, haha!]
[What's the big deal? Why be polite to someone looking for trouble?]
Sigh, Yaya is still too young. Look at Kirby, she's not in a hurry at all.
"There's only one problem: Delicious is a Pokémon that lives in cold regions, and you don't even have ice here, the temperature is too high. Pokémon like Corsola and Luvdisc are from warmer regions."
To protect these Pokémon, the water temperature in your aquarium shouldn't be too low, right? That would seriously affect the health of the sea lion cubs!
Ye Yinchuan spoke directly and frankly.
"this……"
Ya Ya was speechless for a moment.
The little sea lion does seem to be a Pokémon from cold regions. Just its fur makes you feel that it should live in a place covered in ice and snow.
"Ya Ya, what are you standing there for? Just tell me these sea lion pups have already adapted to this temperature. Many trainers also keep sea lion pups; they can't possibly provide them with the same environment as before!"
Ya Ya quickly followed the script and said it almost verbatim.
Ye Yinchuan shook his head:
"That's the problem. You haven't provided the baby sea lions with the right temperature or enough training, which has resulted in them becoming so obese and extremely unhealthy. If you don't do something soon, these baby sea lions will soon have serious health issues, which will have a very negative impact on your Yangyang Aquarium."
Upon hearing this, Ya Ya opened her mouth, not expecting the other party to have something else to say.
It seems they've gone even further.
"Damn it, is this Snorlax cursing our aquarium?"
"I give up, he's really stubborn."
Just as everyone was discussing what to do next,
Someone shouted:
"The curator is here!"
Upon hearing this, the group composed themselves and greeted him respectfully.
"Director, you're watching the live stream too? That Snorlax is really despicable, daring to question our aquarium's design. You personally supervised this, how could there be a problem? Don't worry, we'll definitely resolve this crisis."
The director made a solemn vow, expressing his loyalty.
"...Who said that just because I'm supervising, there won't be any problems? What's with all the talk about how terrible it is? We should thank them for pointing out the problems!"
The curator was a small, white-haired old man in a suit and tie, but he was very energetic.
He came in and immediately got to work.
Upon hearing this, the entire live-streaming team's expressions changed. They never expected that the curator they supported would turn around and support this Kirby Appraisal.
Doesn't that mean all those things they just said and all those actions they took were a slap in their own face?
"Ya Ya, I'm the curator."
Ya Ya was still waiting for further guidance from the team when the curator spoke up directly.
"Your attitude just now was wrong. It was too arrogant and frivolous. This really damages the image of our aquarium. You need to remember that you represent Yangyang Aquarium, and you must always be mindful of your words and actions."
"Yes... Master, the live stream is still going on, what should I do?"
"Apologize to Kirby Aquarium and humbly ask for their advice on how our aquarium should improve in the future."
Ya Ya stuck out her tongue, also surprised that the curator would personally get involved.
She was also relieved that she hadn't completely fallen out with the streamer.
"Hello... I'm sorry, I was just on the phone with our control room. Our director saw the live broadcast and agreed with what you said. He's very grateful to you for pointing out the problems at our aquarium. Could you please elaborate on what our aquarium should do next?"
The other party remained silent, muttered to themselves for a while, and then gave their response.
This caught not only Ye Yinchuan off guard, but also the audience on both sides.
Just a moment ago you seemed determined to argue to the bitter end and fight for your rights, why have you suddenly changed your tune?
That's an incredibly fast change of expression!
However, many people also heard the key phrase: the curator himself took to the stage.
[I get it, didn't you guys understand? The curator intervened, which means there's definitely a problem with the aquarium.]
This wave has opened up a new landscape!
[The anchor is amazing! He can spot the aquarium's design flaws just by looking at a baby sea lion.]
Ye Yinchuan nodded at this moment.
The other party's change in attitude is also a good thing for him, so there's no need to make things so awkward.
"As I mentioned before, baby sea lions need a low-temperature environment. Your aquarium needs to set up a special low-temperature area for them, at least below zero degrees Celsius, to meet their needs."
Ya Ya nodded, and following the curator's instructions, continued to ask:
"Could you please explain to us why, even though the temperature isn't right, the baby sea lions are still plump and healthy?"
"It's very simple. Baby sea lions, including their evolved form, the white sea lion, are more energetic when the temperature is low. You haven't provided a suitable temperature, so they've become lethargic and exercised too little. They basically just eat and don't move all day, and their originally healthy subcutaneous fat has started to turn into visceral fat. Do you think they can be healthy?"
At this moment, Ya Ya suddenly realized:
"I understand. So you're saying that professional trainers can keep sea lion pups without providing them with the right temperature because they train them extensively to help them stay active and healthy, is that right?"
Ye Yinchuan nodded and said:
"Some trainers will also create a suitable low-temperature environment for the sea lions so that they can grow better and evolve into white sea lions. With certain training, they can maintain ice-type energy and create a low-temperature environment on their own even if there is no low-temperature environment."
In short, if you little sea lions stay like this, even without any unexpected events, it will be very difficult for you to evolve into white sea lions.
Ye Yinchuan's tone was somewhat earnest.
He truly cares about the Pokémon.
Otherwise, if he didn't say anything, the aquarium would turn a blind eye, and the audience would be happy to see the chubby little sea lions...
Everyone was happy and harmonious, except for the injured little sea lion—a world that had been achieved.
[Oh, I see. That makes sense. Just like us humans, obesity is actually a disease, so why do we think that chubby Pokémon are cute and healthy?]
Speaking of this, I'm thinking, many people deliberately raise Pokémon to look like pigs, panting even when walking, just for the sake of cuteness... Isn't that a kind of selfishness?
It's true! There are different types of fat, including subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. When I went for a checkup, the doctor said my fat distribution was perfect, all subcutaneous fat...like a healthy little sea lion!
Because the conflict between the streamer and Yangyang Aquarium was resolved.
The focus of the discussion in the live chat shifted to the health-related aspects of the sea lion and Pokémon.
"Host, our curator, who is also the chairman of our company, would like to get to know you. He said he hopes to invite you to be our aquarium's online consultant. What do you think?"
Ya Ya looked on with envy.
This so-called online consultant position was just a temporary one created by the curator, specifically to hire this streamer.
You don't even have to go to get off work on time. As long as you help the aquarium solve some Pokémon-related problems, you can get generous rewards. It couldn't be more comfortable!
"Well... let's talk about that privately later. It's my live stream time now. If you don't have any other questions, this call will end here."
Ye Yinchuan felt that there was no need to waste the time he would spend live streaming on the aquarium.
Some Pokémon are rare, but viewers can recognize them with just one glance.
[The streamer is so calm! If it were me, I would have been impatient by now!]
[No, don't end it yet! There are still so many Pokémon to watch!]
Ya Ya was also surprised by the curator's enthusiastic invitation and the other party's reaction.
"Well... okay, our aquarium owner said he'll contact you privately later. However, we have an unfamiliar Pokémon at our aquarium that we'd like you to identify. This is a request from the aquarium owner on my behalf."
"An unfamiliar Pokémon? Take a look."
Ye Yinchuan could also sense the appreciation the so-called curator had for him.
However, since the other party did not personally come forward, there was no need for me to take it too seriously.
But a Pokémon that even the aquarium doesn't recognize must be quite rare, and he was quite interested.
That's right, that's the taste.
【Bring on any rare or unusual treasures you have!】
Soon, Ya Ya arrived at a small room inside an aquarium, which seemed to be closed to the public, and inside was an aquarium.
Inside the aquarium, quietly sitting, is the Pokémon that even the aquarium doesn't recognize.
It looks just like a heart-shaped fish...
But it's completely different; this one is much bigger than the heart-shaped fish.
Its eyes are so beautiful, like gold.
"Did you see that? This Pokémon is one of our gym leader's prized possessions. He fell in love with it the moment he saw it, but he doesn't know what it is."
Listen to what Ya Ya said.
Ye Yinchuan also narrowed his eyes slightly and leaned back tactically.
Of course he knew what Pokémon it was.
Because this one only appeared later in the Pokémon series, it's not very well-known.
Unexpectedly, it is a rare commodity in this world.
Its name is quite catchy.
"I know this Pokémon, its name is Babymum."
Ye Yinchuan spoke.
The nanny Mambo's body is pink and does resemble a heart shape, but upon closer inspection, the outline of its fins looks like gloves.
Its tail is so inconspicuous that it's almost as if it doesn't exist.
Only at the end of the body, there is a heart-shaped top.
The fins and the lines of the mouth are similar.
The nanny, Mambo, had golden eyes that looked like they had heavy eyeliner, making them appear very beautiful.
By the way, the Gothic Boy we encountered earlier is Virgo, one of the twelve constellations in Pokémon.
The nanny, Mambo, represents Pisces.
[Nanny... Mambo?]
[Has the streamer been brainwashed by that song "Mambo"?]
[He's just taking advantage of our lack of knowledge about this Pokémon, giving it any random name, huh?]
"Nanny Mambo? That's an interesting name..."
Ya Ya is now very polite to Ye Yinchuan because he is someone the curator values.
"Actually, I really want to call it Angel Mambo. Because if you turn its body upside down, you'll find that it looks a lot like a heart with wings, which is the heart of an angel."
Ye Yinchuan explained,
"Furthermore, this Pokémon's habits and characteristics are quite interesting. It will heal injured and weak Pokémon by picking them up with its fins and carrying them to the shore. This allows injured Pokémon to stay away from danger. Moreover, they secrete a special kind of mucus that can heal wounds."
Actually, in the Pokémon lore...
Nanny Mambo is not rare, and there's even a saying that people would take it with them on long voyages, using its mucus and healing abilities to eliminate the need for doctors and medicine.
But in this world, nanny Mambo is clearly rare, and even unknown.
Therefore, this phenomenon does not currently exist.
"What? It can even heal injured Pokémon? Shouldn't that be called Doctor Mampo?"
[Angel Mambo...that's not wrong!]
This Pokémon is not only good-looking, but also has a gentle and kind personality; it's practically my dream Pokémon!
"The curator said he was very happy, he never expected that the Pokémon in his collection was so powerful and valuable."
Hearing Ya Ya say this, Ye Yinchuan asked in return:
"But... why keep Nanny Mambo here all alone? Nanny Mambo really enjoys being with other Pokémon. This one is just afraid of being alone."
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan glanced at the nanny Mambo's control panel.
[Pokémon Caregiver: Babysitter Mampo]
[Level: 17]
[Attribute: Water]
[Gender: Male]
[Racial stats: B-rank (470)]
Individual Value: Grade B (131)
【Characteristic: Healing Heart】
Personality: Afraid of loneliness
Evolutionary path: None
[Skills: Slap, Harmony, Water Circulation, Water Jet, Assist, Wide Area Defense]
Status: Lonely
[Trait: None]
"Is that so? Our curator wants to protect it because it's so precious, and he's afraid it will be harmed by other Pokémon."
Ye Yinchuan had some doubts.
You're being so tactful because you're afraid of being eaten by your colleagues.
"It's not a big problem. Your aquarium feeds them regularly, right? As long as the Pokémon are full, they won't attack each other. Besides, this babysitter Mambo not only knows how to 'get along peacefully' but also how to 'defend wide area,' so it has a very strong survival ability."
Furthermore, Mambo, the caretaker, will help other Pokémon in a body of water, making her easily protected by them. So, just raise her normally.
Ye Yinchuan just saw it too.
Since aquariums house a mix of animals, there are some escape routes provided for smaller Pokémon.
It's the kind of enclosure that restricts size, so only small people can fit inside.
Of course, the nanny Mambo is not small in stature, so the probability of her being bullied is not high.
"Of course, this is just my suggestion. I won't be responsible if anything happens to the nanny, Mambo. But what I can tell you is that Mambo is in a low mood, so it would be best to find her some companions."
Ye Yinchuan issued a disclaimer.
It's clear the streamer has a really strong survival instinct...
[Haha, I can understand. Such a precious Pokémon would be lost because of the streamer's suggestion; there'd be a lot of trouble that could happen!]
"Okay, thank you for your suggestion. Our curator said he will think it over. Thank you so much!"
[User "Yangyang Aquarium" gifted: 6 Gold Leaves!]
"You're too kind, too kind! Yangyang Aquarium is very generous, and the curator is very generous!"
Because of some minor friction that had occurred, Ye Yinchuan didn't show much enthusiasm.
But as soon as the six gold leaves arrived, a bright smile appeared on his face.
[Still the same old face...]
[Haha, the streamer's face-changing skills are pretty good too.]
After finishing the live stream with Yangyang Aquarium, Ye Yinchuan stretched and yawned. Today was a great start.
Even the nutritional yarn came with two Master Balls.
These six gold leaves, which are roughly equivalent to ten Master Balls, made him incredibly happy.
"Family members, keep connecting! It's free!"
Please, please stop sending gifts to the streamer! He said it's free, but you're all sending more and more...
[Connect with me, streamer! Guaranteed to be free!]
Ye Yinchuan ignored the irrelevant comments and looked for valuable people to connect with.
@Digimon: [Host, do you believe that man-made Pokémon exist in this world?]
This short sentence made Ye Yinchuan's gaze linger.
Update 12,000 words delivered! The aquarium storyline is over!
