Chapter 25 A Caterpie that Masters Electric Blast? No way! My Pikachu didn't learn it!
Chapter 25 A Caterpie that Masters the "Electric Net" Skill? No way! My Pikachu didn't learn it! (Please read on!)
[666, you really know how to act cool.]
Why is the giant milk tank flying in the sky? Because a streamer is blowing on it from the ground!
[Don't worry, everyone, the streamer must have identified the real item!]
Ye Yinchuan suddenly noticed a familiar username in the comments section; it was none other than "Spring Blossoms".
This is a long-time fan who appeared in the previous live stream. He was asking:
How do I send gifts to a streamer? I need some advice! *fist pump*
Upon seeing this, Ye Yinchuan's heart stirred.
Judging from his statement about spring warmth and blooming flowers, one can probably deduce that he is quite old.
Sure enough, when I opened his user page, I saw that he was a sprightly old man with white hair, and the videos he posted were all of himself training with Pokémon in the park.
"Grandpa Spring Blossoms, thank you so much for your kindness. Your presence in my live stream is the greatest support you can give me. No need for the gift, you can keep it for yourself!"
At this moment, some viewers commented:
Sending gifts isn't cost-effective, and the platform takes a cut, so it's better to just transfer money directly to the streamer!
Grandpa, do you need another grandson?
Officer Tan, who was watching the live stream, was also somewhat moved as he addressed his viewers:
"Wow, this young man's live stream is always fresh and interesting. He handled today's situation exceptionally well. Even I might not have been able to react in time!"
With that, Officer Tan made a decision:
"I'm sending another round of gifts to the streamer in my personal capacity today! It's not much, just a small token of my appreciation!"
[User "Dream Protection Bureau Officer Tan" gifted 2 "Poké Balls"!]
"Thank you, Officer Tan, for the Poké Ball!"
Ye Yinchuan was still a little confused. Why was Officer Tan sending him another gift?
Immediately afterwards, a large number of new viewers flooded into the live stream!
[This came from Officer Tan! We must support the streamer!]
[Even Officer Tan approves of this streamer; I can't guarantee anything else, but his character is definitely impeccable!]
Brothers, please follow me and don't let this conscientious streamer down!
The sudden surge in traffic caused the number of viewers in Ye Yinchuan's live stream to exceed 500 again, and it's still climbing!
[User "Good People Get Good Fortune" gifted me: 1 Poké Ball!]
[User "Kabby's Top Fan" gifted: 1 Good Healing Potion!]
[User "Erxianqiao Zou" gifted a gift: 3 Magic Candies!]
"Wow, guys... to be honest, this is a bit of a surprise. Thank you all so much for your support!"
Ye Yinchuan clasped his hands together, his expression sincere, and bowed to the camera to express his gratitude to the audience.
[User "Spring Blossoms" has gifted a Master Ball*1!]
"Wow, Grandpa Spring Blossoms, this gift is far too expensive! Please request a refund; I can't possibly accept it!"
Ye Yinchuan was really starting to lose his composure.
He was a little worried that receiving such an expensive gift from an elderly person would affect their life.
Spring is here and flowers are blooming: [Positive energy anchor, we should support! I have a pension, so you can rest assured, anchor! Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine.jpg]
The live stream chat was flooded with comments:
I'm not envious at all of what this streamer makes! He deserves it!
[Open your mind, I want to give too!]
[Let's not talk about that now, can we talk about the caterpillar first?]
"Alright! Thank you all again! Let's get back to the caterpillar story!"
Ye Yinchuan's gaze fell once again on the panel of the green caterpillar.
This green caterpillar is indeed quite extraordinary.
Ye Yinchuan originally just wanted to find the best among the worst, but unexpectedly, he actually found a green caterpillar that could be described as a top-notch specimen.
[Pokémon for Baby Bugs: Caterpie]
[Level: 5]
[Attribute: Insect]
[Gender: Female]
[Racial stats: D-rank (195)]
Individual Value: Grade A (171)
【Characteristics: Scale powder】
Personality: Conservative
[Skills: Impact, Silk Shot, Electric Net]
[Status: Hungry, Dominant]
[Evolutionary Path: Caterpie - Metapod - Butterfly]
This green caterpillar, despite its impressive A-grade individual stats, wasn't the real reason Ye Yinchuan chose it.
After all, Caterpie's base stats are too low, and its numbers are so numerous that they're practically everywhere. It has an A-rank IV, and I've seen more than one just now.
The real reason Ye Yinchuan chose it was that this green caterpillar had not only mastered spinning silk, but also mastered an advanced skill of spinning silk!
That's the power grid!
The electric grid is an electric skill; it is not only quite powerful but can also restrict the opponent's movements.
If it were a weak opponent, they might be electrocuted and unable to move.
Stronger opponents will also be affected by the electric grid, resulting in a significant reduction in speed during actual combat.
With this skill, Caterpie can perform remarkably well in actual combat, even in its weak early game.
By the way, although the power grid is an electrical skill.
However, in Ye Yinchuan's understanding of Pokémon before his time travel, not all Electric-type Pokémon could learn Electric Net, and those that could learn Electric Net were not necessarily Electric-type Pokémon.
In the Pokémon games, Caterpie can also learn Electric Blast through a TM (Move Maker).
Therefore, it was a bit far-fetched for a Caterpie to know Electric-type moves, but Ye Yinchuan wasn't too surprised.
"Perhaps it's bioelectricity? Maybe the reason this green caterpillar is so thin is that the nutrients it eats are converted into bioelectricity, or perhaps it's storing silk specifically for electric grids..."
Ye Yinchuan made some speculations and was thinking about how to explain it to the audience later.
I wonder how people in this Pokémon world view a Caterpie that knows the Electric Net move.
Through the incident with Galer Ponyta, Ye Yinchuan also understood something.
That is the Pokémon games, the Pokémon anime, and the Pokémon world he is currently in. Although they have many things in common, they must also have their own differences.
Therefore, one should adapt to local conditions and maintain a sense of exploration and awe towards the Pokémon world.
[Host, this green caterpillar is so thin, are you sure it's not sick?]
Let's talk about the green caterpillars instead; I'm here for identification!
Why this one of them of all? Tell us, host!
Faced with the urgent questions from the viewers, Ye Yinchuan paused for a moment before finally explaining:
"This green caterpillar has decent individual stats. And from what I've observed, it seems to have mastered the electric grid technique; a significant portion of the nutrients it ingests are converted into bioelectricity or special electric filaments, which is why it's so thin!"
As expected, Ye Yinchuan's words caused the live stream to erupt in excitement once again.
【Huh? Is Caterpie an Electric-type Pokémon?】
[Is it another mutation? Did the streamer accidentally disturb a nest of mutated Pokémon?]
[Electric grid? Seriously?! I haven't even learned how to use it with Pikachu yet!]
Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!
Yesterday's plot was a bit controversial; the protagonist's abilities were indeed limited, and he even gave away the starter Pokémon, making it difficult to evaluate. This story leans towards a lighthearted slice-of-life style, so the overall tone will be warm. As for the siblings and Caterpie, I've written several chapters about them, and I'll try to wrap things up as soon as possible. Originally, I wanted to have more words per chapter, like in previous stories, with a Pokémon appraisal and a quick ending, but I've been quite busy lately and have limited energy, so I can only keep each chapter around 2000 words. Please leave any suggestions in the comments; I'll read them carefully. Finally, please read the new book! As long as it doesn't flop, I definitely won't abandon it! Thank you all for reading!
