Chapter 176 A Grand Collection of Mutant Pikachu! Six-Finger Pikachu? Thor Pikachu? Black Gold Pikac
Chapter 176 A Grand Collection of Mutant Pikachu! Six-Finger Pikachu? Thor Pikachu? Black Gold Pikachu? Heterochromatic Pikachu? Succubus Pikachu?
[The sweet aroma of carbohydrates? The host is probably referring to the aroma of rice, flour, or steamed buns?]
[Could it be the smell of baking bread?]
The comments section is filled with speculation.
The person in charge got started directly.
This Pikachu was cautious, fearing that the Threaded One wanted to harm it, but in the end, the Threaded One succeeded.
"This taste...like toasted bread, with a nice caramelized aroma! No wonder I sometimes have that faint taste even when I haven't eaten anything sweet; it turns out it's marinated to perfection!"
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you..."
"Aaaaaaah!"
A trembling sound came from the screen.
"I forgot to tell you, it's easy to get an electric shock... Uh, I think I'm too late?"
Seeing that the person on the line, Xiaopang, had been electrocuted and turned into Zhuangzhuang's mom, Xiaopang, Ye Yinchuan hesitated to speak.
[Haha, that cracked me up! The streamer's a total rip-off!]
[His Pikachu is a bit too cautious.]
"It's okay, streamer, I'm fine... Pikachu won't really hurt me..."
Looking at his hair in the camera lens, the chubby boy reached out and touched it, unable to help but laugh.
"Okay, it's alright. Go downstairs and bond with your Pikachu!"
After saying that, Ye Yinchuan disconnected the line.
[User "Pikachu Lover" gifted: 6 Pikachu headgear!]
"Wow, I thought you'd send this, but I didn't expect you to actually send it..."
Six "Pygmalion headgear" are worth the same as three Master Balls, so the return is quite considerable.
In the video, a Pikachu-shaped headgear keeps falling on Ye Yinchuan's head, making him look like a ruthless bandit, complete with electric light effects, which is quite amusing.
Perhaps because six were given away at once, a hidden effect was unlocked—
Six Pikachus jumped out, and they were in 3D.
They lined up around Ye Yinchuan, waving their arms and legs, looking particularly happy.
The funniest detail is that one of the Pikachus couldn't keep up with the movements and was in a panic.
"The platform put a lot of thought into designing these gifts."
After thanking Ye Yinchuan for the gifts, he chose his next contact.
@Pikachu: [Host, I also have a mutated Pikachu, can I challenge you to a battle?]
@Thor: [What a coincidence, I have one too, and it's a shiny, heterochromatic one!]
Perhaps it's because both of the recent video calls were related to "mutant Pikachu".
At this moment, the comments section sparked a heated discussion.
"No, do you guys really have them or are you faking it? Where did all these mutated Pikachu come from?"
"Looking down on us? One or two mutated Pikachus aren't enough! If foreigners find out, they'll think we can't afford to raise them!"
I suspect the streamer has attracted a specific group of viewers...
Let's see what they're made of!
Seeing the enthusiastic comments, Ye Yinchuan was a little overwhelmed.
The audience likes it, and he's genuinely interested, so why not...
"Alright, today's event is all about mutant Pikachu! Anyone with a real mutant Pikachu, come on over! Send your comments, apply yourself, I'm not kidding, and if you're deliberately trying to cause trouble, you'll get flamed!"
Today, Ye Yinchuan decided to organize a mutated Pikachu showcase in his live stream.
It's like how anime has special episodes and variety shows have special themes, so why can't live streams do the same?
Although there was no specific planning.
But Ye Yinchuan is very talented, and his main strength is improvisation!
The first person to connect was that "Pikachu".
"See that, streamer? My Pikachu has six fingers, isn't that amazing?"
Ye Yinchuan's expression was quite interesting when he saw the so-called mutated Pikachu.
A Pikachu with six...six fingers?
That's really true...
If you call this a mutation, then it certainly is.
The problem is that this mutation seems to have no effect other than giving an extra finger.
Pikachu's fingers are also small...
Ye Yinchuan carefully examined the lower panel and gave the appraisal results:
"Wow, your Pikachu has six fingers! That's amazing! Okay, that's a pass, everyone, next one!"
[Host, are you trying to make me laugh to death? Is this some kind of perfunctory response?]
On the contrary.
That's not actually the case.
Then there's "Thor".
As the connection was established, a Pikachu did indeed appear in the frame. Not only was its color darker than other Pikachus, but its body surface was also crackling with electricity, making it look quite unique.
This Pikachu's eyes also reveal the sharpness of a powerful being.
It is indeed different from the regular Pikachu.
【Wait, buddy, you really have a shiny Pikachu?】
[He looks so handsome, just like his name... Thor!]
This Pikachu is clearly more convincing than the six-fingered Pikachu from before.
"Host, what do you think of my Pikachu? It was crackling with lightning the moment it hatched. Its leveling speed and the power of its Electric-type moves are unlike any other Pikachu... I'll name it Thor!"
After listening to the person on the other end of the line give a brief introduction, Ye Yinchuan examined the Pikachu and looked at its interface.
Finally, he sighed softly:
"Thor? You Pikachu, you do look powerful... but you're not really!"
"No way?"
The person on the other end was about to argue that it wasn't just about looking impressive, but unexpectedly, Ye Yinchuan's tone was so resolute.
Doesn't the implication between the lines mean that his Pikachu is no good?
How could I tolerate this, considering it is my proudest Pokémon?
[Hot! If the streamer says it's no good, then it really is no good!]
What kind of plot twist could there be? This Pikachu looks perfectly fine to me.
Ye Yinchuan noticed the other party's confusion and the audience's bewilderment.
Without beating around the bush, he got straight to the point:
"Your Pikachu probably consumes energy faster than other Pikachus, right?"
"Of course... it has exceptional talent and grows rapidly, so it's understandable that it consumes more energy!"
Hearing his master's dismissive attitude, Ye Yinchuan shook his head again:
"But let me tell you, its lifespan is consumed several times, even dozens of times, faster than a regular Pikachu. How are you going to deal with that?"
"What! That's impossible! How could this be? You mean it only has two or three years to live?"
"It could take a year or two."
[Holy crap! No way? This Pikachu looks so strong and energetic! So majestic!]
[Is the streamer sure he's not joking?]
[It's said that Pikachu's average lifespan is around fifteen to twenty years. If it really does consume dozens of times that lifespan, then even the streamer's estimate of one or two years is conservative!]
Oh no, Thor is going to turn into a reggae!
At this point, the person on the other end of the line was completely dumbfounded.
He originally just wanted to show off his shiny, heterochromatic Pikachu.
Unexpectedly, the streamer was completely stunned from the start, and a shocking bombshell dropped!
"Host, what should I do? Please save my Raichu! Will evolving Raichu even work? If all else fails, can I take out a loan to buy a Thunder Stone?"
Perhaps it's because Ye Yinchuan is gaining more and more authority.
Although the other party was extremely unwilling, he still accepted the reality: his Pikachu was probably quite problematic!
"Pikachu?"
Pikachu was also confused, not knowing what had happened, but it could sense that its owner was very flustered and sad.
"Sigh, evolution might be useful, but it might also just make things worse."
Ye Yinchuan thought for a moment and replied.
He looked at the traits on the Pikachu's panel, lost in thought.
[Trait: Neuropathy]
This Pikachu has a congenital defect in the nerve that controls the electric current, causing it to lose control of its current and operate involuntarily, consuming excessive energy.
While in the short term it may result in faster upgrades and increased electric power, in the long run it will deplete the body's potential and lifespan, leading to a shorter lifespan!
"What should I do? What's going on? Aren't shiny Pokémon supposed to be favored by the heavens? Why is mine like this..."
"You're mistaken. From beginning to end, your Pikachu has never been a Shiny variant."
Ye Yinchuan revealed the cruel truth: "Just because something emits light doesn't mean it's sparkling."
[This... the color is definitely different, it's not some kind of iridescent flash, is it?]
Clearly, neither the people on the live stream nor some of the comments really understood what Ye Yinchuan meant.
"Your Pikachu had a problem with its nerves when it was just hatched, when it was still a Pichu, causing it to constantly release electricity. Although the light on its body is kind of cool, it's just its own lightning, not naturally gathered Pokémon energy."
"As for why its color looks darker than a regular Pikachu, the reason is simple: because it's constantly being heated by electricity, its body ages faster, causing pigment deposition and resulting in a darker color. You could call it a variant, which is fine, but it's definitely not a glittery one!"
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan even picked up his Owlman:
"Did you see that? That's the real brilliance! The concentrated spirit energy shines like a star in the universe..."
[Wow, where did the streamer get such a gorgeous Rowlet? It's so beautiful!]
Holy crap, that's ruthless!
[So the dark color is from being baked to a golden brown by the electric current? Oh, how come I didn't think of that?]
I've heard that letting Pokémon bask in the sun for extended periods can darken their color, similar to tanning, but it's difficult to achieve a truly unique color effect...
"So, my Pikachu has a congenital disease?"
Ye Yinchuan nodded, put Mumu Xiao aside, and let the little guy play by himself.
It seems I've explained myself very clearly.
"Yes, there's nothing the streamer can do in this situation. I suggest you go to the hospital offline. If surgery can be performed to restore Pikachu's nerves to normal, there might still be a chance."
"Ah... how could this happen!"
The other person was holding their head, clearly in great pain.
The difference is huge. I thought my Pikachu was the best, but I didn't expect it to be seriously ill!
@Pikachu Fan: [Sigh, bro, thank goodness you contacted the streamer today and caught it in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. You should go to the hospital quickly. If you don't have enough money for the surgery, I can help raise funds online...]
@Pikachu: [I thought I was miserable enough, but it turns out you're the most miserable one!]
Pikachu fans watching the live stream were exchanging messages, trying to lend a helping hand to the Pikachu.
Ye Yinchuan also felt a warmth in his heart and said:
"You should go to the hospital for a checkup first. Maybe a minor surgery can solve the problem. If you really have trouble, come to my live stream and I'll see if I can help you."
[This is a nerve problem; are you sure a minor surgery can solve it? That's unrealistic.]
The streamer is actually quite nice...
"Thank you, host. I'll head over now."
Ye Yinchuan also ended the live stream and moved on to the next one.
The identification of the mutant Pikachu is extremely popular.
Some netizens, who were not originally in Ye Yinchuan's live stream, came over after hearing that there was now a streamer who specialized in identifying mutated Pikachu.
They're either just watching the fun, or they genuinely have a mutated Pikachu and want the streamer to identify it, or maybe they want to show it off.
"Host, is there something wrong with my Pikachu?"
A new connection.
The other party seemed a little uneasy.
Having just witnessed "Thor's fate," I can't help but worry that something might be wrong with my Pikachu.
When Ye Yinchuan saw the Pikachu, his eyes lit up:
"Wow, this unusual color is really eye-opening!"
Finally, something good is happening...
Sigh, I hope that guy's Pikachu is alright.
[You Pikachu, did you crawl out of a coal pile?]
This Pikachu's skin wasn't yellow, but black. Its original black markings had been replaced by a black-gold color, including the sacs on its cheeks and its eyes...
Different colors, definitely different colors.
Moreover, it's a completely different color all over, but it's not unattractive; it's quite unique.
"Beautiful, so beautiful."
Ye Yinchuan examined it for a long time and noticed a small detail: the Pikachu's tail was slightly curved, like the shape of a crescent moon.
Unfortunately, it doesn't have any special traits.
He had initially thought that besides her appearance, she might have some other special qualities, but it turned out he was overthinking it.
"Not bad, your Pikachu is quite rare and unique. It's just that its individual stats are too low, only D-rank. If it's for companionship and decoration, not for battle, it's perfect."
Ye Yinchuan gave his own assessment results.
The other party was also very satisfied, because he was just an ordinary person who kept Pokémon simply because he liked it.
"Thank you, host. This Pikachu hatched from a blind box egg. It was completely black at the time, which startled me. I was worried it might have some kind of disease. After hearing what you said, I feel relieved!"
"I would call this Pikachu Black Gold Pikachu. It's similar to that Dark Magikarp that was photographed in a high-class style, but it's even more high-class."
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but add.
The streamer's evaluation is very high.
Holy crap, that's like getting rich!
[You're overthinking it; this person probably won't make a move.]
When you receive a gift, express your gratitude.
Continue the connection.
Ye Yinchuan sometimes felt like a worker on an assembly line.
But saying it like that would be too Versailles.
After all, even if a real worker blows a screw off, he wouldn't earn that much.
Making money? Not a bad thing!
"Your Pikachu is interesting; one ear is standing up, and the other is folded down... Hmm, it seems like it might have osteoporosis. Maybe you should give it some calcium supplements!"
"Wow, your Pikachu is great, S-rank IVs... But where's the mutation? Oh, its butt, ouch... There's a little black heart on your Pikachu's butt... It's okay, I checked, it's just a birthmark, no need to panic."
"Dude, I already said this is a Pikachu-themed event. What are you doing bringing a Rattata up here? A different color? Can it generate electricity? That won't do... Not all mice that generate electricity are Pikachu. Get off the plane!"
One live stream after another took place, and Ye Yinchuan showed the viewers in the live stream all sorts of bizarre and wonderful Pikachu.
Ye Yinchuan even suspected that all the mutated Pikachu on the internet had come to his place for a meeting.
It seems that today he finally understands what it means to have "Pikachu as many as stray dogs on the street".
At least in this world, there are far too many people who keep Pikachu as pets.
However, in reality, only a few of them truly stand out.
Most of them are just minor variations or slight color changes.
Six-fingered Pikachu is a typical example.
The funny thing is, there's also a matchmaker Pikachu, because it has a spot on its face that looks like a matchmaker's mole.
Even when someone is sick, they are mistaken for having a mutation.
For example, a Pikachu's left and right eyes are different colors, one eye is black and the other is gray-white.
The master firmly believed that he must have awakened some kind of pupil technique.
Ye Yinchuan immediately gave him a good scolding, telling him to come to his senses.
This Pikachu has a severe eye infection and is almost blind.
The illness has a developmental process, and it's impossible that it was only discovered now. This shows that the owner has never paid attention to it before, or is simply ignorant!
[You have approved the connection request from user "Wanrenmi"!]
[Connection successful!]
"Kirby, it's finally my turn! I've been watching your streams for a while now."
The other person's voice... is somewhat similar to a bubble voice, with a mature and sophisticated feel, and you inexplicably feel like she's flirting with you while smiling.
Upon closer inspection, she is indeed a smiling, charming, and mature woman.
She looks to be in her twenties; her eyes not only seem to speak, but they also seem to have a captivating quality.
[Wuhu! The purple flowers are so beautiful!]
I love it!
[Who wouldn't be confused by this? Her voice is so sweet!]
"This is terrible, this is terrible..."
Ye Yinchuan felt goosebumps rise on his skin. He was, after all, a pure and innocent young man.
"Hey beautiful, did you just comment that your Pikachu has mutated to be especially...pretty?"
"Yes, you'll see when you see it."
As she spoke, the beautiful woman turned the camera around and pointed it at her Pikachu.
Wow, this Pikachu is so handsome!
Haha, she even has a bow tied in her hair and is wearing a little skirt, so cute...
[It looks like a female; there's a heart on its tail!]
My Pikachu's tail is standing upright!
Ye Yinchuan looked at the Pikachu, initially somewhat dismissive.
Although this Pikachu looks beautiful and is of good quality, it probably has nothing to do with mutation.
Moreover, there is an element of the owner deliberately dressing it up.
However, when Ye Yinchuan looked closely at the traits section on the panel, his eyes narrowed.
[Trait: Alluring Fairy]
Pokémon possessing this trait are skilled in Fairy-type moves and have an unimaginable attraction to other Pokémon of the same gender.
The description is simple, but it is absolutely special.
"Your Pikachu is definitely a mutation. If I'm not mistaken, it should be very attractive to other male Pikachu, right?"
"Yes, all the male Pikachus, when they see this kid, are like little dogs, completely captivated and utterly submissive."
The woman was incredibly proud. "Don't you think Pokémon take after their owners? Because I'm so charming, even my Pikachu is so captivating!"
"Well……"
Ye Yinchuan is difficult to evaluate.
The saying "Pokémon resemble their trainer" is often true.
Not a family, do not enter the door.
Pokémon whose personality or characteristics are too different from their owner's are difficult to get along with.
But isn't it a bit too vain for the other person to say that?
Well, who can blame her for being beautiful and charming? That makes sense!
[Host, you can't just praise a pretty woman because she's beautiful. Even if she's beautiful, she can't be considered a mutant, right?]
[Exactly, you didn't have this attitude towards those mutated Pikachus earlier.]
Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan thought to himself, "It's hard for me to explain this to you guys."
But after organizing his thoughts, he still spoke:
"That's right, this Pikachu isn't just good-looking; it also possesses some Fairy-type traits."
Theoretically, it can harness Fairy-type energy, and the power of Fairy-type moves will be even stronger. This is more of an internal mutation.
[Is Zun Du fake?]
[It seems the latest research indicates that Pikachu does indeed know Fairy-type moves.]
"Of course! Pipi Mei, give us a performance of 'cuteness' and 'angel's kiss'!"
The person in the link clearly knew that their Pikachu had mastered these two Fairy-type moves.
Pikachu stared at the camera, blinking its eyes, then swayed from side to side, making a cute sound, and a special Fairy-type energy surged forth...
Then, it spun around in place, stood on tiptoe, and gave the camera a kiss...
A combination of "acting cute" followed by an "angel's kiss" is incredibly effective, even through a screen.
[Wow, this is so cute it's unfair! My heart is melting!]
[Oh no... My Pikachu is getting a nosebleed! Pikachu, you have to hang in there!]
[Why is my Pikachu angry?]
[Upstairs, is your Pikachu female? Probably... jealous?]
Ye Yinchuan was also looking at the screen, and couldn't help but grin foolishly.
But as a streamer, he immediately realized the importance of facial expression management and quickly reversed his expression.
[Hey streamer, I've already taken a screenshot, hahaha, you're such a fool!]
"Damn... your hand speed is really fast! You must have done a lot of special training, right?"
Ye Yinchuan laughed and scolded,
"Alright, now you all feel it, right? What's so special about this Pikachu?"
She's practically a Pikachu succubus!
[No, that's not right. Succubus is too lewd. This Pikachu is cute!]
Hmm... I feel like she has a bit of a cute idol vibe!
Discussion via live chat.
Ye Yinchuan then ended the live broadcast.
"There's not much time left, everyone. That's all for today's special session on identifying mutated Pikachu. I'm afraid some viewers might be getting tired of it... For the last live broadcast, let's identify something else."
Ye Yinchuan also felt that all the mutated Pikachu that were supposed to come today, and those with more distinctive features, had been identified.
Continuing like this will hardly produce any entertainment value.
While viewers are very interested in the mutated Pikachu, they can get tired of seeing it too often.
As a streamer, he has to control the pace of the live stream.
[Hey streamer, mine's a tonic, I haven't even had it appraised yet!]
[I agree, after watching mutated Pikachu all night, it's time for a change!]
Ye Yinchuan ignored the comments. On my turf, you have to listen to me!
Soon, a new connection request caught Ye Yinchuan's attention:
[Host, we think we've spotted a Fire-type Dragon Pokémon! We've never seen one like it before. Could you help us identify it?]
6k update delivered! I uploaded 6k last night, and I feel like I used up all my energy, so I'm having some trouble starting up today... There's another 6k tonight! The Mutant Pikachu storyline is over!
