Chapter 173 A mutated Pikachu with a long tail? Don't be ridiculous! If you can afford the electricity bill, I'll teach you how to catch it!
"Ears that look like plugs... Are there any Electric-type Pokémon like that? Could it be a Pikachu with upright ears?"
Ye Yinchuan pondered.
Electric mice like Pikachu, with their two pairs of ears standing up and being charged, do indeed remind people of power plugs.
But he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and it was probably some other Pokémon.
He just had a mental block and couldn't remember.
No problem. The Pokémon is inside the house, how could it possibly fly away?
The other person brought a camera upstairs, and every now and then they would give a shot of the Squirtle behind them.
This Squirtle is like a little monk, both scared and wanting to follow along.
Finally, he arrived at a room with the door ajar. There seemed to be flashes of electricity inside, and he could hear a "buzzing" sound.
[Stop dawdling, hurry up and go in!]
[A mutated Pikachu? I'd like to see what's going on!]
The comments section was buzzing with anticipation.
On the other end of the line, someone took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
Ye Yinchuan focused his gaze intently on the Pokémon in the room.
Just then, the lights in the room suddenly flickered on and off, probably because the Pokémon had absorbed too much electricity.
【Holy crap, what kind of Pokémon is this? Those ears don't just look like plugs, they really do!】
[Doesn't this look like Pikachu?]
No, it's definitely Pikachu! Didn't you guys notice? Its tail's grown all the way to the front!
[That yellow and black color scheme is exactly the same, what else could it be but Pikachu?]
Ye Yinchuan turned his head and already knew what kind of Pokémon it was.
First, using the process of elimination, it's definitely not Pikachu.
Seeing these descriptions in the comments, Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated.
It sounds so mysterious, have the people in this world really never seen anything like it?
But you know what, just from their description, Ye Yinchuan almost believed it; it was a mutation of Pikachu.
First of all, the color scheme is the same as Pikachu's, mainly black and yellow.
The coolest thing is that Pikachu's tail is lightning bolt shaped, and this guy also has a lightning bolt pattern on his front.
Their attributes are all electric.
Furthermore, this thing also has two ears, but they are stiff, straight, and upright, just like a plug.
Its body shape is oval, and like Pikachu, it has short legs.
But his thighs are noticeably thinner than Pikachu's; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're not thinner.
Its hands are much longer than Pikachu's, its arms are thin, but its forearms are thick and strong, with three toes faintly visible.
There are two black stripes around the arms, and similar ones on the sides of the body.
That's right, this is Electabuzz's unevolved form!
There are other translations, such as Electric Boy or Electric Beast.
Ye Yinchuan couldn't recall this guy at first glance after hearing the other party's description.
One of the main reasons, and also because of this guy's evolved form, Electabuzz left a deeper impression on Ye Yinchuan, and Electabuzz's head doesn't look like a plug...
So it's reasonable that you wouldn't make that connection, right?
Incidentally, the official Pokédex mentions that Scyther and Electabuzz are both rare Pokémon.
In other words, it is very rare.
It seems that this is also true in this world.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this: with over 30,000 viewers in the live stream, almost no one knew about the Electric Monster!
[Host, do you know something? Why aren't you saying anything?]
He smiled! Tear his mouth apart!
The viewers also noticed the mysterious smile on the anchor's face.
"Hey, it's just an Electabuzz! Why are you all acting so mysterious, calling it a mutated Pikachu? Family, even if you love Pikachu, you can't act like this."
Ye Yinchuan reluctantly laid his cards on the table, his tone slightly sarcastic.
[An electric shock monster?]
[Is it really not a mutated Pikachu?]
[Host, please elaborate!]
Ye Yinchuan also took the opportunity to check some information and obtained more intelligence.
"You might not know Electabuzz, but you should know Electabuzz, right? Last March, during a three-day thunderstorm, an Electabuzz attacked a power plant. It made headlines back then; you can easily find it by searching online."
[Holy crap! I remember now, I don't even need to search! Electabuzz was like a tiger or leopard demon, and apparently a whole area lost power because Electabuzz destroyed the power plant!]
[And you know what? My house is right near where the Electabuzz attacked! That night, I somehow managed to finish my homework during a break in the thunder and lightning!]
[Upstairs, are you trying to make me laugh to death? I thought you were finished writing!]
[I searched it up, and it really exists. You know what, this Electabuzz and Electabuzz do look a bit similar.]
Seeing the heated discussion in the comments, Ye Yinchuan nodded, it seemed that he had found a good angle to approach the issue.
After all, it's quite difficult to popularize things that the audience doesn't know at all.
But something that is both strange and familiar, and can be connected to known things, is much easier to explain.
"That's right, Electabuzz is the evolved form of Electabuzz. I won't go into detail about Electabuzz; today I'll mainly talk about Electabuzz. Although it's rare, like many Electric-type Pokémon, it loves electricity and needs to recharge."
In the wild, they mainly rely on natural lightning or some ores that carry lightning. But if they wander into a city, they will be attracted by the electricity from residents' homes—in other words, they come running by the smell.
"See that socket? The socket is the outlet for electricity in the house. For the Electric Monster, it's like a baby bottle; it draws all the electricity in from there."
At this point, it is also clearly visible.
The electric monster was leaning against the socket, and visible current was being released from the socket, flowing into the "plug" on the electric monster's head, making a buzzing sound.
This is a live video of Electabuzz "stealing electricity" or "eating".
[Interesting, so this guy is eating?]
Thank you, streamer. This is the first time I've seen a mukbang like this...
"Host, the problem is, is it dangerous? How terrifying is that Electabuzz? That Electabuzz really shocked me and Squirtle, what should I do?"
The person on the other end of the line asked about issues of concern.
The electric monster's eyes are actually quite fierce, and it has structures resembling small tiger teeth on both sides of its mouth, making it look like it's not to be trifled with.
"Hmm... Electabuzz's power generation ability isn't actually very strong. Especially this Electabuzz, it's so small, it's still a baby."
Let me ask you a question: Is your family wealthy?
"Brother, why are you asking me this? Are you alright...?"
"That's good. Interested in taming this electric monster? I can teach you. I'm just worried you won't be able to afford the electricity bill."
Ye Yinchuan explained.
Electabuzz's current ability to absorb and store electricity isn't particularly strong, but as it grows, just like a young Munchlax, its appetite keeps growing...
While it's possible to get energy from real food, compared to electricity, those can only be considered meal replacements.
Therefore, there are certain requirements for raising an electric monster.
"Bro, are you sure? Money isn't a big problem, but my main Pokémon is in the hospital recovering from an injury. Right now, I only have a Squirtle... This Electabuzz looks pretty good, to be honest, I'm really craving it. If you can really teach me how to catch it, I'll call you 'brother' and give you a present!"
Ye Yinchuan nodded.
I knew it! If you had money, how could you possibly have a Pokémon as weak as Squirtle?
Even with care, it should be at the level of a Warmyrtle.
It turns out there were other Pokémon, but they're not here right now.
"It's not that difficult, I'll be frank. This electric monster isn't high level, and its combat power isn't very strong. You just need to show it a little strength and then lure it with electricity, and you should be able to capture it."
"Bro, are you sure? At first, I thought, what can it do to such a small thing? But my Squirtle fell down as soon as it was hit by an electric shock, and I had to drag it away... Look at it, it looks like a cowardly lizard now."
"Ahem... It's like this. Although Electabuzz isn't strong, it's connected to a power outlet. With a continuous power supply from the outlet, it's not only incredibly powerful, but it's also 220V. You're telling me your Squirtle is at a type disadvantage, how are you going to withstand that?"
"so……"
"Yes, first cut off its power, then bluff to deplete its power, and while it's weakened, drop the ball to capture it... You have a ball at home, right?"
"Yes, yes, don't worry, brother!"
Hearing Ye Yinchuan say this, the contact person perked up.
Although it's not a mutated Pikachu, this Electabuzz is still quite rare.
If it evolves into Electabuzz, its combat power will be absolutely phenomenal!
[I'm so envious! Encountering an electric monster is one thing, but the streamer is personally teaching how to use it!]
[By the way, how's the potential of this electric monster?]
[Sigh, it's just so-so. I'm not envious at all. Pikachu is cuter! *lemon covering eyes.jpg*]
[The live streamers got an electric shock monster, the streamers got gifts, and I spent my time and data... So you all got rich quick, and I'm the only one who lost out?]
Ye Yinchuan looked at the panel of the electric monster.
Electric Pokémon: Electabuzz
[Level: 5]
[Attribute: Electric]
[Gender: Male]
[Racial stats: C-rank (360)]
Individual Value: Grade B (122)
[Characteristics: Static electricity]
[Personality: Brave]
[Evolution Path: Electabuzz - Electabuzz - Electabuzz]
[Skills: Glare, Quick Attack, Electric Shock]
Status: Satisfied
[Trait: None]
"His aptitude is alright, his individual stats are at least B-rank, and if he has a brave personality, he has potential in battles."
After scanning the screen, Ye Yinchuan replied to the comments, giving his assessment of the electric monster.
Thankfully, it wasn't A-rank or S-rank or anything like that.
[What a pity, it was almost a perfect one! Homelander sighs in relief.jpg]
Seeing the smirks and taunts in some of the comments, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Grade B is not bad."
The person who made the connection seemed quite content.
Theory exists, practice begins—
The power is cut off, and then the battle with the electric monster begins.
Following Ye Yinchuan's instructions.
The liaison took some pillows, mainly to feint an attack on the electric monster, causing it to release electricity to attack, in order to deplete its power.
To put it bluntly, it's about baiting out skills and wasting the Electric Monster's energy.
The electric monster is too low-level, with very little electricity and energy reserves, so it can be easily depleted.
As for the electric shock, will it cause the pillow to catch fire and burn down the house?
Ye Yinchuan also considered that having a Squirtle around meant they could put out the fire at any time.
Another small detail is that throwing a pillow will not hurt the Electric Monster, nor will it cause it to get injured or become extremely hostile.
This will facilitate a more subtle approach to subjugation later on.
And so... the pillow exploded from the electric shock, down feathers flew everywhere, sparks and lightning flashed, Squirtle busily poured water, Electivire darted around trying to escape, and the streamer frantically threw pillows—a chaotic mess appeared in the live stream...
[Haha, that's exciting!]
[I'm new here and don't understand, is this a World War II live stream?]
[6. This is so entertaining!]
The audience enjoyed the show and sent a flood of gifts.
While expressing his gratitude, Ye Yinchuan pointed out the landscape.
"Watch out, the electric monster is generating electricity by swinging its arms! Don't worry, just hold on, it'll tire out soon!"
"Don't let its plug hit you, the current there is very strong!"
"Okay, the light on its head was bluish-white just now, which meant it had plenty of power, but now it's starting to dim! Hold on, let it continue to consume power, don't rush!"
"Move aside! Throw the pillow, it won't see it! Hey, you..."
Seeing the person connected get poked in the butt by the electric monster's plug and make a sound similar to "Beast Senpai" from the shock, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but facepalm and shake his head.
"My fault, I overestimated your fighting ability..."
After a hard-fought "battle", Electabuzz looked very weak.
Of course, the contact was also nearing the end; it looked like smoke was coming out of his rear end...
Squirtle is better at maneuvering than it, and while it's worried about its owner, it's also a little guilty.
It seems I didn't protect my owner well... but I'm really afraid of electricity!
[That feels good. I told you, you can't just sit at home and get a rare Pokémon for nothing. You deserve this little bit of hardship.]
[Upstairs, you're so mean. But honestly, I feel much better now.]
Is there any chance this electric monster can't escape? I'm really worried...
Ye Yinchuan could only say, "You've taken all the bamboo shoots from the mountain!"
"Okay, now you can try throwing the ball."
Upon hearing Ye Yinchuan's command, the liaison attempted to throw out a Poké Ball to capture it.
But to everyone's surprise, the electric monster resisted fiercely and didn't take it seriously at all, simply knocking the ball away.
"Host, what should we do?"
"No problem, I have another plan. Wait a moment..."
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan opened the music software and played an audio of "Thunderstorm".
All you could hear in the audio was thunder rumbling and rain pouring down.
The electric monster heard the sound and curiously looked around.
"Turn up your voice, then squat down, don't stand, it's too intimidating. Once it gets close, try to get the ball close to it."
Ye Yinchuan continued to offer guidance.
Although the person on the other end of the line was somewhat confused, they still did as instructed.
The electric monster, filled with curiosity, approached, and the sound of thunder and rain made it feel happy.
But because of the depletion of energy, he looked a little sleepy.
"Now is the time to subdue it!"
Ye Yinchuan lowered his voice, but was also a little excited.
Although he wasn't the one who captured Electabuzz, personally instructing others, from a first-person perspective, still provides a degree of immersion.
As the Poké Ball touched it, Electabuzz sensed the presence of what appeared to be a dark cave.
In addition, I was extremely tired and sleepy.
Its instincts kicked in, and it transformed into a red light, shrinking back into the Poké Ball...
Electabuzz, successfully captured!
"Wow! Streamer, you're amazing!"
The person on the other end of the line was shocked.
I used to just watch live streams from an outsider's perspective.
It wasn't until he actually connected with Ye Yinchuan and even received guidance that he realized just how capable Ye Yinchuan was.
That tone of admiration and surprise can't be faked!
"It's a small matter, a small matter."
Ye Yinchuan appeared somewhat modest, but he couldn't suppress the urge to smile.
If he had the chance, he would have even tried to tame a mythical beast!
