[666, is the streamer just making stuff up?]

[If this isn't a Nidoran♀, I'll clean my teeth with a Poison Sting!]

[A Shiny Pokémon? No way!]

[Wait, are there pretty-boy Pokémon now?]

Hu Yue, watching the stream closely, furrowed her brows and stared hard at the so-called "Nidoran♀".

Its body was blue, with a few darker blue spots, resembling a large rat.

It had triangular red eyes, walked on four short legs with two toes each, and had a big white front tooth, two pairs of whiskers, and large ears.

The poisonous spines on its forehead and back were noticeably smaller than a typical Nidorino's, and its paws were rounder, resembling a Nidoran♀ more than a Nidoran♂.

No matter how she looked at it, it looked exactly like a Nidoran♀—not a Nidoran♂ at all.

"A Shiny Pokémon? If Xiao Chuan hadn't pointed it out, no one would even suspect it. How on earth did he figure it out?"

Hu Yue found this revelation hard to believe.

The Nidoran line had extremely distinct gender differences—a case like this was one in a million.

The two high schoolers also stared at the Pokémon for a moment before asking hesitantly,

"Streamer, you're not joking, right? Shiny Pokémon are worth a fortune!"

"A Shiny Nidorino that looks like a Nidoran♀? Are you serious, or are you trolling us?"

Seeing their mix of shock, disbelief, and a hint of excitement, Ye Yinchuan smirked to himself.

'These two were looking down on me earlier... Part of me almost doesn't want this to be a Shiny Pokémon. It'd be too easy for them.'

But facts were facts—he couldn't just lie.

At the end of the day, someone else's Shiny Pokémon was still theirs. What mattered most was his own livestream, gaining fans and influence, and making a steady income.

"It's 100% legit. I mean, think about it—if this was a real Nidoran♀, why does it violently reject every male Nidoran you bring near it? Why does it actively attack them?"

"This Pokémon is so unique, I'll admit—it almost tricked even me. But in the end, it couldn't escape my sharp eyes!"

Ye Yinchuan exaggerated his words for dramatic effect, adding a touch of flair to keep the stream entertaining.

[Now that you mention it… that does make some sense.]

[The streamer's just talking nonsense. I've been watching closely—that's definitely a Nidoran♀!]

[Yeah, if a Shiny Nidorino could look like a Nidoran♀, this would've been discovered long ago!]

[This feels scripted—is the streamer just messing with us?]

Clearly, his words alone weren't enough to convince everyone. The chat was skeptical, and the two high schoolers still weren't fully convinced.

Ye Yinchuan sighed inwardly—there was no point arguing any further.

"If you really want proof, it's very simple. Just bring out another Nidoran♀ in heat, and try to pair them up. If this Pokémon mates, that means I'm wrong. If it doesn't, that means I'm right."

He leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, giving a calm and confident expression, as if saying: "I've already put my answer on the table—believe it or not, that's on you."

[Where the hell are they supposed to find another Nidoran♀?]

[This is just a stalling tactic!]

"Actually… I do have one!"

The chubby teen's eyes lit up, and he pulled out a Poké Ball—containing another Nidoran♀.

It was common knowledge that Nidoran♂ and Nidoran♀ could co-exist peacefully, but same-gender Nidoran would fight aggressively if placed together.

So even though he owned multiple Nidoran♀, he never let them interact directly.

[Wait… this dude actually owns two Nidoran♀?!]

[What kind of rich family is this?!]

Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow.

From his clothes and the background of his house, this guy was definitely from a well-off family.

And considering his username—"Nidoran Is My Wife"—it actually made sense he'd have multiple.

On-screen, the tall, skinny guy first recalled the male Nidoran♂, making space in the breeding incubator.

Then, the chubby teen released his Nidoran♀ while his friend carefully brought it closer to the "Nidoran♀"…

And then, something unexpected happened.

The Shiny Nidorino didn't attack at all.

Instead, its eyes sparkled slightly, its body shifted, and it repeatedly raised its forehead spike—a classic mating display!

The Nidoran♀ was hesitant at first, but after sniffing the Shiny Nidorino, it showed no resistance—in fact, it nuzzled closer, exchanging scents!

This meant… the mating would likely succeed!

"See that? Pay attention, everyone!"

"This is how Nidorino court a mate. This is 100% a Shiny Nidorino!"

[HOLY SHIT, IT'S REAL?!]

[Wait—this streamer is the real deal?!]

[A Shiny Pokémon?! Damn it, this rich kid just got luckier!]

[Streamer, are you actually this good?!]

The chat exploded.

People started sending gifts, as the undeniable proof left the audience shocked and impressed.

The two high schoolers stood there, completely stunned.

Ye Yinchuan smirked, waiting for their reaction.

All he needed was one look—their shock and speechlessness said it all.

Finally, the chubby teen broke the silence.

"Streamer… I really didn't expect you to be this skilled. If you hadn't figured this out, I would've stayed completely fooled for who knows how long!"

[LMAO, the great deception is revealed!]

[It's apology time!]

"I sincerely apologize," the chubby teen said seriously. "Let me send some gifts—I hope you won't hold a grudge. If I ever have more Pokémon questions, I'll be coming straight to you!"

Saying that, he pulled out his phone.

[User "Nidoran Is My Wife" sent two Master Balls as gifts!]

Ye Yinchuan almost burst out laughing as two Master Balls rolled across the screen.

Two Master Balls?!

This dude was loaded!

[I was laughing at him earlier—now I'm just jealous.]

[Do high schoolers just casually drop money like this now?!]

[No more "chubby guy"—he's now Fat Bro! Fat Bro, drop your contact info!]

[Fat Bro already apologized… but what about Monkey Bro?**]

[Where's the smooth-talking rhymes now? You suddenly forgot how to freestyle?!]

Seeing his friend apologize and send gifts, the tall, skinny guy—Monkey Bro—scratched his head awkwardly.

The chat was absolutely roasting him, telling him to apologize too.

His face turned red, hesitating.

Finally, he sighed, looked at the camera, and gave a thumbs-up.

"Streamer… you're something else."

"My name's Hou Xiaotian, and today, I truly underestimated you. I was blind to your talent—so I'm publicly apologizing to you right now!"

[Where's your gift, though?!]

[You think you can talk your way out of this?!]

["Hou Xiaotian underestimated the pro,

Mocked the streamer with rhymes in tow,

Turns out the truth hit like a blow,

Now he's left with egg on his face, bro!"]

The chat went wild.
