Chapter 38 Your arm strength needs to be registered! Knowledge about Poké Balls! The streamer is too comprehensive! (Please continue reading)
[The classic line, "I'm not an expert."]
This is the first time I've seen a host so humble; it seems he really isn't confident.
[It's alright, Big Brother is as strong as an ox, he won't die anytime soon, the margin for error is high!]
When Ye Yinchuan saw these "bamboo shoot snatching" comments, he wanted to laugh but had to hold it in, so he could only use the same gesture as Nicolas Cage to block it slightly.
[Look, the host is laughing just thinking about the nonsense he's about to spout.]
[It must be that our neighbor next door had a son. I'm so happy.]
"Okay, some of the comments are a bit too funny."
Ye Yinchuan forced himself to remain calm, nearly causing internal injuries as he spoke.
"My friend, your most urgent task right now is to register with the Pokémon Center and prepare the Poké Balls. Of course, the environment of a regular Poké Ball is not good, which may make the child more irritable. If possible, you can choose a better Poké Ball."
In the world of Pokémon, some Pokémon must be registered with the Pokémon Center if they reach a certain size or pose a certain level of danger.
Some Pokémon are required to be equipped with Poké Balls and are not allowed to be easily summoned in public places.
Pokémon that meet the standards set by the Pokémon Center but are not registered with the Pokémon Center are considered unlicensed Pokémon.
If discovered, penalties such as warnings, fines, or even confiscation will be imposed depending on the individual's subjective intent and the degree of harm caused!
The most commonly used standards can be simply summarized into three points:
Firstly, the size and weight must meet the requirements for a large Pokémon. For example, if Ye Yinchuan's little Snorlax weighs over 200 jin (100 catties), strictly speaking, it would need to be registered.
Secondly, there's the Pokémon control list. For example, Charmander is fine, but evolving into Charmeleon requires registration. Another example is the highly aggressive Tauros, which is on this list.
Thirdly, Pokémon possess various inherent risks that may pose a threat. For example, this super-powerful Machop has a genetic defect; some Pokémon have severely problematic personalities; and some, having mastered extremely powerful moves, are themselves terrifying weapons.
"Okay! I also plan to voluntarily register!"
The muscular man in the video sits upright and nods, looking like a student listening attentively, which contrasts somewhat with his muscular physique.
[If you don't understand, what does "poor environment" mean for a regular ball?]
When Ye Yinchuan saw this comment, he was surprised that there were still people who knew nothing about Poké Balls.
"The principle behind Poké Balls, besides capturing wild Pokémon, is to provide a home for Pokémon or to restrict their activities. Since it's a home, there's space inside, and with space comes the quality of the environment, just like the houses we live in. The Poké Ball is the Pokémon's house."
No wonder Poké Balls are so expensive; even the most basic ones cost a thousand. That's almost more expensive than some Pokémon!
[Seriously? Pokémon are that big! Can they even live inside?]
Ye Yinchuan had already done his research, so he had a certain understanding of the structure and working principle of the Poké Ball in this Pokémon world.
Unlike games, Pokémon can be digitized and transferred via computer like files; at least, this technology doesn't exist in the world yet.
The principle behind the Poké Ball doesn't conform to that kind of "data-driven" theory; it's simply that there's a small space inside.
It's obvious that a Poké Ball that only costs a thousand dollars can't possibly be high-end or have any advanced spatial technology, such as "hidden space," "space teleportation," or "other-dimensional space."
Unless, of course, they are special natural Poké Balls made from magical berries.
Regular balls are definitely not included!
As for how the Pokémon got into such a small Poké Ball—
"Don't you know? Pokémon have the ability to shrink in size, but they usually only use it when they are seriously injured and need to avoid danger to heal. Because shrunken Pokémon are relatively more vulnerable, they won't use it unless absolutely necessary."
"Don't argue in the comments. This is the explanation given by the Pokémon Association. You can check it on the official website if you don't believe me. Yes, the Poké Ball simulates the environment of a dark cave, but the internal structure of different grades of Poké Balls is actually quite different. For example, a regular Poké Ball has nothing inside. But a high-end Poké Ball will have a better environment, providing Pokémon with microscopic devices for rest and even entertainment."
The "Advanced Ball" that Ye Yinchuan mentioned here refers to a "higher-level ball" that is different from a regular Poké Ball.
In the Pokémon games, due to translation issues, the Ultra Ball is considered more powerful than the Great Ball, which is counterintuitive.
However, in the Pokémon world, "Ultra Ball" refers to a major category. A higher level than Ultra Ball is called Beyond Ball, which is also sometimes called "Super-Super Ball".
I really admire Ye Yinchuan's obsessive-compulsive tendencies regarding words.
As for the Pokémon world's ability to shrink, unlike the official setting of the "Professor Nishimura experiment," the Pokémon Association has not clearly stated who discovered it.
It was probably discovered very early on.
Wow, I checked, the price of a Super Ball is five times that of a regular ball!
[The price of the "Beyond Ball" is even more outrageous; it'll be four times higher, at 20,000 each!]
The amazement of the viewers in the live chat.
Ye Yinchuan wholeheartedly agreed; he was also quite surprised when he first learned of it.
After all, a regular ball in the game costs 200 yen, so you can easily buy 99 at a time...
In reality, unless absolutely necessary, most people wouldn't even be willing to spend a thousand dollars on a regular ball!
"Speaking of which, my little Kirby, once he gets proper nutrition, will soon weigh over 200 pounds. Then I'll have to register him and buy him some Poké Balls..."
Ye Yinchuan glanced at Little Kabi, thinking that it was generally okay not to register it.
But as a streamer, if someone reports me and it gets investigated, it could cause some trouble.
In addition, although Poké Balls are only needed when going out, Ye Yinchuan also wants to buy a better Poké Ball for Munchlax, who has saved his life and is family.
I've heard that the environment of a regular golf course is like a tiny 9-square-meter room, only providing the most basic rest.
Many Pokémon will resist entering a Poké Ball because of this, and may even develop the intuition that "Poké Balls are uncomfortable". Even if they are replaced with a high-level Poké Ball later, it will be difficult to correct this!
By the way, although the Poké Balls in this world don't have "Hidden Treasure" (or similar features).
However, different Poké Balls come in different sizes.
A standard Poké Ball is 40 millimeters in diameter, while a Great Ball is 50 millimeters in diameter. This provides a significant increase in space for Pokémon that have shrunk in size.
Also, although all Pokémon can shrink, the shrinking limit is different for different Pokémon. The Pokémon that can shrink more will have more space inside the Poké Ball.
However, this has little practical significance, so there's no need to dwell on it.
"It has to be at least a super ball. Five thousand yuan, the price of a mid-to-high-end mobile phone, if everything goes smoothly, I can still manage to get it..."
That's why it's said that owning a Pokémon is just the beginning; the real challenge lies in the subsequent training and development.
This little Snorlax, just its basic food and Poké Balls, is like a money pit; ordinary people really can't afford it.
By the way, you have to pay for the registration yourself. Although it's only 800 yuan, it's still money!
This little bit here, that little bit there. Not enough! Really not enough!
"I understand, host. The Beyond Ball is too expensive, but I can still afford the Super Ball. A better living environment will make the child happier."
Big Muscle Man strongly agrees.
"Okay, I'll continue. Secondly, don't level up your Machamp for now. If it evolves into Machoke, I'm afraid it might go berserk and kill you with one punch! You understand?"
"I understand, I understand..."
Big Muscle Man was also afraid when he saw Arm Wrestler.
It's only Machop that's managed to beat me up like this; if I evolved into Machamp, I'd probably be in the ICU.
"Third, you need to understand its personality and habits better. Pokémon, like humans, have emotions for a reason. Even if it's easily angered, it's because something has touched a trigger for its anger..."
Upon hearing this, Big Muscle Man couldn't help but show a look of sudden realization.
[Who knew the streamer knew psychology?]
[Don't you understand? Professional Pokémon breeders need to understand Pokémon psychology!]
But this guy is a live streamer who authenticates streamers...
There's no way around it, the streamer is just too versatile!
Based on the original work, I've added some new Poké Ball concepts and refined the world-building. I'm aiming to depict a Pokémon world as realistic as possible. I was originally going to identify a new Pokémon, but I couldn't resist bringing back Machop, which helps to close the story loop. New content is coming tomorrow! More story content will follow later. Please continue reading and vote! (pouts)
