@RatKing: [Hey streamer, check out my Pokémon! I guarantee you'll be amazed. I specialize in collecting rodent Pokémon! I only collect the absolute best!]
Ye Yinchuan became interested when he saw this comment.
Such a boastful tone, calling himself the King of Rats?
[Haha, all I can think of when I think of rodents are Rattatas, you can collect all sorts of other rodents?]
[This is interesting, the streamer even connected with him!]
Ye Yinchuan made a decisive connection.
There's nothing else to it; he rarely sees any rodent Pokémon either.
Although small Radas are common, they're too ubiquitous. I'd like to see if there are any rare ones.
[You have accepted the connection request from user "Rat King"!]
[Connection successful!]
With the prompts, a scene appears before your eyes.
Besides a man, there are also quite a few Pokémon in the picture.
Upon closer inspection, Ye Yinchuan realized that they were indeed all rodents.
Let's not even talk about the little Lada.
Pikachu is also a classic electric mouse.
Cyndaquil is also a Pokémon that Ye Yinchuan likes very much.
Pangolin... well, I guess that counts as a rat too.
Besides Pikachu, there's also Politoed... Dedoo, Pachirisu...
There are too many of them, and they're constantly moving around; I can't keep track of them all.
[It really is the Rat King!]
Wow, how many kinds of rodent Pokémon are there?
[666, the streamer has really encountered a remarkable person!]
Ye Yinchuan also gave a thumbs up:
"It's really not easy to collect so many rodent Pokémon. The key is, you just let them roam freely in the yard without worrying about them fighting or running away."
The Rat King was quite pleased with the amazement expressed in the comments.
He collected so many rodent Pokémon.
Besides passion, it's also about hoping that one day we can evoke such surprise and recognition.
That vanity, or sense of accomplishment, was greatly satisfied.
He answered Ye Yinchuan's question:
"Of course, they fight often, and occasionally some escape. But those are minor issues; I have a grand plan!"
When the Rat King said this, Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow, sensing something was amiss.
This person seems a bit... paranoid?
Because the phrase "grand plan" is rarely heard from serious people, except when it's used for gimmicks.
"Tell me about it? Share your thoughts."
"Host, have you ever thought about it? What are elites and overlords? Those powerful wild Pokémon all survived and stood out from the fierce competition."
Our methods of raising Pokémon are too gentle, which is incorrect. This deprives Pokémon of their wild instincts of survival of the fittest, making it impossible to raise truly powerful Pokémon.
Furthermore, there are many categories of Pokémon. It is unreasonable and unfair for a rodent Pokémon to compete with other types of Pokémon.
That's not the right competitive arena at all. True rodent Pokémon should compete against rodents!
So, I have a grand plan: to collect all sorts of top-tier rodent Pokémon, let them live in a limited area, give them limited food, let them compete with each other, and finally give birth to the strongest rodent Pokémon!
"And so, it becomes the Rat King! A dominant Pokémon that I personally raised!"
Ye Yinchuan's expression froze, his eyes narrowed, a hint of doubt and confusion in them.
Finally, after holding it in for a long time, he couldn't help but blurt it out:
"Dude, are you crazy?"
Originally, after revealing the plan, the Rat King expected Ye Yinchuan's approval and appreciation, but he did not expect this kind of reaction.
He was momentarily taken aback.
I laughed. This person has gone mad from keeping rats as pets!
[This person is very talented; I recommend keeping them in the hospital for observation!]
Am I the only one who genuinely finds this somewhat interesting?
[Are you sure this isn't Pokémon abuse?]
"Host, what do you mean?"
The Rat King looked at Ye Yinchuan and saw the dissenting voices, which made him somewhat angry and embarrassed.
It seems that he genuinely believes this is a great plan.
"You, you, I don't know how you came up with this plan with your toes. But let me tell you, it absolutely won't work, at least not in your current state."
Ye Yinchuan was also helpless, so he tried to persuade the child to see if he could turn back from his wrong path.
"Putting aside the fact that what you're doing violates the Pokémon Protection Act by intentionally withholding food from Pokémon, which constitutes abuse."
With the small number of rodents you're raising, you can forget about raising a dominant Pokémon.
You've never even been to the wild, and you haven't really understood it, so how could you possibly know the value of Totem Pokémon and Elite Pokémon?
And your direction is also completely wrong.
Wild, dominant Pokémon are indeed powerful, but they don't just stand out by competing with their own kind. They also face various lurking natural enemies, and even interference and covetousness from humans.
The real wild environment is very complex. If you only let them compete with their own kind, what will the result be? Even if you do raise a so-called "rat king," it may be no match for other enemies!
If you want to raise a powerful rodent Pokémon, I think you should take my advice.
The Rat King was verbally attacked by the streamer, and his face turned slightly red.
He tried several times to interrupt Ye Yinchuan, but failed to seize the opportunity.
[Host, just tell me, who can argue with you?!]
[If someone dares to mistreat a Pokémon, the streamer can wipe out their entire nest with just one phone call.]
[Rat King, I urge you to be kind!]
"Let's not talk about this anymore!"
The Rat King, thoroughly humiliated, began to change the subject.
"Host, could you help me check my Pokémon first? I'll ask you about these things later."
Ye Yinchuan nodded.
The Rat King did indeed initially ask me to identify the Pokémon.
Fortunately, he also has quite a few rodent Pokémon, some of which are quite rare.
I can enjoy it myself, and also let the viewers in the live stream have a look.
"Here's what we'll do. You have too many rodent Pokémon. If we identify them one by one, the audience won't have the patience to watch. I'll look at a few special ones first. After we're done, if there are any you'd like us to identify specifically, I'll help you with that."
The Rat King nodded.
"Hey, point your camera at me, Patch Lizard."
"Patchlitz?"
The Rat King was dumbfounded.
"Uh... it's an electric squirrel."
Ye Yinchuan also realized that the name was not down-to-earth enough.
The main reason was that when his gaze lingered on the panel, he saw the name on it, which was Patchlitz's official name.
But in reality, the electric squirrel is more intuitive and easier to understand.
I can't even remember what this Patchlitz thing is.
[Pachirisu seems to be one of the names for electric squirrels, and it's more commonly used overseas.]
[So the streamer is spouting foreign nonsense, huh?]
[Electric Chipmunk? Are you sure this isn't an evolved form of the Negative Electric Patter?]
Upon seeing the comments, Ye Yinchuan's lips curled into a smile.
The electric squirrel and the negatively charged patter do look quite alike.
They are mostly electric mice, and their size and color scheme are similar, with cheek pouches on their faces that store electricity.
"While both Electivire and Pepe are electric mouse Pokémon and their forms are somewhat similar, there are significant differences if you look closely. Electivire is more like a chipmunk, a type of squirrel; you can see its large tail as a distinctive feature."
Moreover, the negatively charged patter also has a corresponding positively charged patter.
Electric squirrels do not have this feature.
The other two Pokémon do not yet have any known evolutionary paths. Their initial base stats are not low, but there are no further evolutionary improvements.
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan carefully examined the panel of the electric squirrel.
Pachirisu, the Electric Squirrel Pokémon
[Level: 11]
[Attribute: Electric]
[Gender: Male]
[Racial stats: B-rank (405)]
Individual Value: C (77)
【Special Feature: Pickup】
Personality: Timid
Evolutionary path: None
[Skills: Shout, Electric Shock, Quick Attack, Cuteness]
[Status: Slightly hungry]
[Trait: None]
"How about it, streamer? My electric chinchilla is top-notch, right? Its individual values are at least A, right? I have high hopes for it; it's been performing very well."
Ye Yinchuan was a little embarrassed to answer the question given so expectantly by the Rat King.
But he still had to say:
"Who gave you this misconception and confidence? This electric chinchilla only has a C-rank IV, a Timid nature, and the Fetch ability... What do you think is good about it?"
From what the Rat King said, Ye Yinchuan roughly deduced some information.
I reckon there aren't any really powerful people here.
This electric squirrel is considered a good candidate...
It's not that this Electric Chipmunk is bad, but in Ye Yinchuan's opinion, this kind of Electric Chipmunk is not suitable for training as a battle Pokémon.
In particular, the Rat King's plan to raise poisonous insects.
The electric squirrel inside shouldn't have much of an advantage, in theory.
In this way, Ye Yinchuan felt a little more at ease.
Since everyone is just playing around, it's just a minor skirmish, and no Pokémon gets bullied too badly.
The Rat King's eyes widened, then his brows furrowed:
"How could that be... I used the methods in the book to assess it. This chipmunk's IVs should be at least A! Streamer, do you not know anything about rodent Pokémon?"
[Laughable, they're questioning the streamer now.]
[What a rat king! Turns out he's just a nobody!]
Undoubtedly, after so many live broadcasts, Ye Yinchuan's credibility among the audience is getting stronger and stronger.
As a result, almost no one questioned him; instead, they thought the Rat King was wrong.
There was nothing that could be done; the Rat King himself had already exposed himself, saying that he had identified it by referring to the book.
"Dude, did you buy the appraisal certificate from a street vendor? You think I don't know anything about rodent Pokémon? Why did you ask me to appraise it? I may not be a professional, but I do have some experience to offer."
The Rat King was speechless.
Ye Yinchuan then continued to call out names:
"Let me see that 'Dongdong' mouse."
As the camera pans, a Pokémon that looks a lot like Pikachu comes into view.
Apart from the distinctive ears and tail, its color scheme and body shape are almost identical to Pikachu's.
Even its slightly darker skin tone is the same as Raichu's.
What's this called? A Drowsy Mouse? Are you sure it's not a mutated Pikachu?
[Is it related to Pikachu?]
Ye Yinchuan also admired the appearance of the dummy mouse.
Compared to Pikachu, Dumbledore is even rounder, with a big head and a chubby body, which looks like a fat gourd when stacked together.
The ears on its head are very different from Pikachu's; they are petal-shaped.
In addition to storing electricity, the cheeks also have antenna-like whiskers, which are not only unique in shape but also serve a different purpose.
The one on top is more like an antenna, with a more complex structure and similar antenna functions, capable of transmitting and receiving radio waves to communicate with its companions.
The one at the bottom is responsible for discharging electricity.
As for the tail, it looks like a long black rope with a fluffy ball at the end.
Occasionally, you can see Drum Mouse in places where humans live, but because it looks a lot like Pikachu and isn't as popular as Pikachu, it's often a bit invisible.
But from another perspective, it's not bad as a Pikachu alternative or meal replacement.
After all, Pikachu is much more expensive...
Moreover, the Dongdong Mouse is actually quite rare.
It's something you only see occasionally; it's not something you see everywhere.
【Antenna Pokémon: Dedon】
[Level: 5]
[Attributes: Electric, Fairy]
[Gender: Female]
[Racial stats: B-rank (431)]
Individual Value: Grade A (181)
【Feature: Cheek Pouch】
[Personality: Calm and composed]
Evolutionary path: None
[Skills: Tail wagging, cheek nuzzling, headbutting]
[Status: Slightly hungry]
[Trait: None]
"This one's not good enough, streamer. It's too weak. It can't even generate electricity properly."
The Rat King, on the contrary, didn't seem to think highly of this bouncy rat.
"...On the contrary, this Drum Mouse has great potential. Its individual value is A-grade, and its characteristic is cheek pouches, which allow it to store more electricity than its peers."
"How could that be, streamer? This Drum Mouse is no match for that Electric Chipmunk. Are you deliberately going against me? If you don't like my plan, you don't have to target me like this!"
The Rat King was somewhat dissatisfied.
Why do the anchor have to say the opposite of what you say?
If it weren't for this guy's rodent Pokémon, Ye Yinchuan would have liked to take a look; he would have kicked him off the show.
Sure enough, after meeting a lot of normal people, you start to encounter some less normal ones.
Ye Yinchuan calls it the Law of Conservation of Quality of Connected Objects.
Fortunately, the viewers in the live chat have sharp eyes.
[This Rat King is a stubborn one. The streamer has done so many broadcasts, when has he ever misjudged him?]
[Hilarious! Trying to turn the tables on me? Does she really think her plan is anything special? Who does she think she is to target the streamer?]
"Let me ask you this: have you considered the Pokémon's levels? That Electivire is around level 10, while this Dedricep is only level 5—a whole difference of twice the level. How are we supposed to win?"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
This Rat King is truly outrageous.
"Is that so? I really hadn't considered that... Sorry, streamer, I thought they were all around the same level..."
"That's what you think."
Seeing that the Rat King's attitude had softened, Ye Yinchuan still said irritably.
There's no need to be too polite to this kind of person; why suffer in silence?
If there's a problem, we have to confront it head-on!
"And your lousy plan, I don't even want to talk about it, because you'll just get upset. You didn't even consider levels. It's like, in the wild, a level 5 Totem Pokémon encounters a level 50 regular Pokémon. Do you think the Totem Pokémon can win?"
"I think we might win. The reason a hegemon is a hegemon is because it's powerful and defies the heavens! If it can't even win this, how can it be a hegemon?"
"I think you're the one defying the heavens! Wake up!"
Indeed, a Pokémon that hasn't reached its full potential isn't a true overlord. However, even a Pokémon with the potential to become an overlord can't defeat an enemy that many levels higher. Instead, it needs to grow to a certain level under the protection and nurturing of its species before it can show its true potential and gradually become an overlord!
It's definitely not like your so-called plan, where you don't plan anything and just throw together a big, chaotic stew to raise a rat king!
Ye Yinchuan finished speaking.
The Rat King also had some thoughts.
Whether he can truly understand it or not remains to be seen.
The Rat King doesn't seem very bright.
[Hopefully he can heed the streamer's good advice. His actions aren't out of genuine love for Pokémon; he's simply immersed in his own thoughts and world, and is arrogant!]
"Wait a minute, that one..."
Ye Yinchuan suddenly noticed a Pokémon in the camera lens.
What kind of Pokémon is this?
[An electric squirrel? But it feels a little different?]
When the Rat King saw Ye Yinchuan pointing at the Pokémon, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up:
"Hey streamer, this is one of my rare finds, a mutated electric squirrel. Take a look?"
Through the panel, Ye Yinchuan already knew what Pokémon it was.
It does look very similar to an electric squirrel, but it is also quite different.
"Look, this electric squirrel has round ears, a tail like lightning, and a softer, more graceful tail, especially the cape-like things on its arms."
Do you know what this is? I call it a storage membrane! This electric squirrel has mutated this organ, so it can store more electricity.
This is my favorite one; I call it Lightning Superman because it looks so much like a cape.
The Rat King was extremely proud.
[Wow! A mutant electric chinchilla!]
Wow, this is amazing! I didn't expect the Rat King to have something real!
Ye Yinchuan nodded as well.
However, he didn't acknowledge that it was a mutated Electric Chipmunk; rather, he admired the Pokémon.
Furthermore, the Rat King's imagination broadened his horizons.
It has to be said, he is indeed a genius. How did he come up with the code name "Lightning Superman"?
The Rat King was secretly pleased with Ye Yinchuan's reaction.
I thought to myself, "This time I'll finally get their approval, right?"
"It's a rare gem."
Ye Yinchuan commented, but then changed the subject, "Unfortunately, you're wrong, and the comments section has been misled by you. This isn't a mutated electric squirrel, but a... heterochromatic electric flying squirrel!"
【Huh? We made a mistake again?】
[Great, great, a classic, absolutely a classic!]
The Rat King didn't dare to be arrogant this time.
He had been criticized by the streamer and vaguely realized that he had done many things wrong.
In particular, ignoring the Pokémon's level factor was a huge flaw in his plan.
He just doesn't want to admit it yet.
"Electric, Electabuzz? I think there is such a Pokémon, but shouldn't the markings on Electabuzz's head and the color of its tail be black...? This is blue."
"That's why I said it's a different color."
Seeing that the Rat King still hadn't grasped the point, Ye Yinchuan emphasized it again.
[Indeed... I wouldn't have recognized her if the streamer hadn't pointed it out. With that dyed color, I wouldn't recognize her at all...]
Actually, the first thing that came to mind was the electric squirrel! It's just that the Rat King insisted it was a mutated electric squirrel, which confused me!
[It has to be the streamer; that eye! One glance, and it's quick and accurate!]
Ye Yinchuan remained calm amidst the shower of compliments in the live chat.
It wasn't that his eyesight was exceptionally good; it was just that everything was clearly written on the panel...
【Animal Claw Pokémon: Emolga】
[Level: 7]
[Attributes: Electric, Flight]
[Gender: Male]
[Racial stats: B-rank (428)]
Individual Value: Grade A (174)
【Features: Electric Engine】
[Personality: Stubborn]
Evolutionary path: None
[Skills: Cheek rubbing, tail wagging, shadow clone, acrobatics]
Status: Normal
【Trait: Different Color】
"Oh my... this is so deceptive. With such different colors, who can tell it apart from an electric squirrel? So, what about this electric flying squirrel? I remember electric flying squirrels can fly, right? Isn't that amazing?"
Ye Yinchuan carefully admired the electric flying squirrel.
Aside from the unusual coloration, which turned part of the skin and patterns on the head, as well as the tail, blue, there was nothing else special about it.
The pattern on the electric flying squirrel's head is quite unique, resembling a hat that shields it from the wind.
The tail is also distinctive, with a certain serration, yet it is very soft, somewhat like wings.
The part that the Rat King calls the "electric storage membrane" is actually the wing membrane of the electric flying squirrel. It does resemble a cape, but it is also a wing for gliding and flying.
The others are all from the electric mouse family, so they're pretty much the same.
"Indeed, it's a striking blue color, which is quite unique and easily confused with an electric squirrel."
Ye Yinchuan agreed.
In Pokémon games, shiny and unique colors are the same thing, and generally there is only one type per game version.
But in reality, different colors are like mutations, with infinite possibilities.
As for flashes and different colors, they are related as inclusion and being included, so I won't go into detail.
"As for what you said, Emolga is indeed a Flying-type, and it can also control flight energy and some Flying-type moves."
However, it still leans more towards the electric system.
Its flight method is not to take off directly from the spot, but to glide down from a high place.
Of course, if trained properly later, it can also use flight energy to take off from the spot.
Honestly, Electric Mouse is an adorable yet incredibly powerful Pokémon. It can release electricity while flying, leaving enemies nowhere to hide and electrocuting them all.
And congratulations, this Emolga has an A-rank IV. The only downside is that it's not a Shiny; otherwise, its strength and value would be even higher.
The Rat King was very pleased to hear this:
"I spent a lot of money on this electric flying squirrel, and it seems my judgment was right."
Ye Yinchuan's gaze, however, was somewhat strange.
The Rat King was dressed very simply, even somewhat worn-out, probably because he spent all his money on Pokémon.
But unfortunately, he has some mental issues, and these Pokémon have to suffer along with him...
"That's great, congratulations. Take my advice, if you're going to raise one, raise it properly. If you train this electric flying squirrel well, it can become a squirrel king. It's much more reliable than your so-called plan."
Upon hearing this, the Rat King's expression also changed.
Ye Yinchuan's words really struck a chord with him.
What he was pursuing was the Rat King, not the plan; the plan was merely a fantasy he had while pursuing the Rat King.
He wasn't so obsessive at first.
The training hadn't been very effective, so he came up with this plan, which he considered a genius idea.
Now, after being severely criticized by Ye Yinchuan, he has finally come to his senses.
"Thank you, streamer. I have a few more top-quality ones here, I'd like you to take a look, especially this one..."
Seeing that Ye Yinchuan did not call out any more names.
The Rat King also planned to show off all his most treasured possessions.
Following the rat king, the camera focused on an incubator.
"Hey streamer, look at this little Rattata, isn't it amazing?"
Ye Yinchuan looked in the direction of the sound and his eyes lit up.
Today's update is 12,000 words! The Electric Mouse storyline is basically over!
