Chapter 153: A black little Rattata? This is an evil mutation! The Mongoose is coming! Lost and found!
[A black little Rattata? Is it a different color?]

[It seems to be more than just a different color. Look at its beard and tail, they are also very special.]

[The Rat King really has something. Where did he get it from? 】

There was a lot of discussion in the comments regarding this little Rada.

Ye Yinchuan also showed his appreciation. The Rat King did give him a surprise.

“Anchor, I found this little Rattata nearby a few days ago. It was lying on the side of the road and was injured. It seemed a bit fierce. On its first day here, it bit two other Pokémon while it was injured, and then it was electrocuted. I had to isolate it first.”

Hearing this, the anchor smiled and nodded:
“It’s normal, because this little Rattata has mutated into an evil Rattata. Influenced by the evil genes and energy, it has a bit of an evil side to it.”

The Rat King showed a puzzled expression:
“Little Rattata, aren’t all of them normal attributes? Can they mutate into evil attributes?”

Ye Yinchuan nodded:

“In fact, Pokémon have strong adaptability, especially Rattata, which has strong reproductive ability. We often say that when you find a Rattata, there may be more than 40 nearby…

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and there is a high possibility of mutation. And the evil Rattata, to some extent, can also be considered a low-probability inheritance. Because I have learned about this kind of Rattata specifically. “

[No, I just saw a little Rattata in the community elevator. Don’t scare me, host!]

[Never heard of the evil-attributed Rattata, where did the anchor learn about it? ]

Ye Yinchuan narrated:
“The evil-attributed Rattata is actually selected by the environment. Did you know that there are few meerkats?”

[Mongoose… seems to be a difficult Pokémon to raise. It eats a lot and is very active. Its teeth are as sharp and its bite force is no less than that of a small crocodile. It can basically bite anything to pieces. It is easy to lose a hand or a toe if you raise it! ]

[Thanks to the above popular science, missing a hand and a toe is too funny…]

[I’ve never heard of it. What’s the connection between the meerkat and the mutation of the Rattata? ]

Ye Yinchuan glanced at the barrage and continued:
“Yes, it is not easy to raise meerkats artificially because it costs a lot of money on food.

But in some places, in order to deal with the rampant Rattata, mongooses are specially introduced. Mongooses like to eat fresh live animals, and Rattata is one of the most suitable foods for them.

[Host, you mean that the evil-attributed Rattata evolved to deal with the Mongoose? ]

“That’s not quite accurate. The direction of Pokémon’s mutation is actually uncontrollable. It just happened to mutate into an evil attribute, and some related habits. This kind of Rattata is more likely to survive with fewer predators like mongooses.”

[I’m still a little confused. What is the connection between the evil-attributed Rattata and the Mongoose? Does the Mongoose not eat it because it has an evil attribute? ]

Ye Yinchuan was not surprised by the doubts in the barrage.

Because he has not yet explained it clearly, this is a relatively complex ecological relationship.

“The evil-attributed Rattata will become a completely nocturnal creature. This is related to the habits of the Mongoose. Generally, the Mongoose hunts non-stop during the day, and it goes back and forth on a fixed route. This is why it is called a patrolling Pokémon.

Some people have thought of using meerkats as patrolling security guards to ensure the safety and vigilance of an area, but they have not been very successful.

In addition to the high cost of feeding the meerkats, there is another reason, that is, although the meerkats patrol constantly, they will rest in a fixed place. At night, they will fall asleep because of exhaustion.

Therefore, even if you want to have meerkats as patrol security guards, you need at least two or more, and meerkats definitely won’t work night shifts, so you have to arrange for others… The cost will be very high.

Closer to home.

Since mongooses rarely move during the day, the nocturnal Rattata has a great advantage. Their black fur makes it easy for them to lurk in the dark, making them less likely to be discovered by humans and predators.

【I think I understand a little bit. 】

[You know what, this black little Rattata is much harder to spot in a dark environment than an ordinary Rattata.]

Ye Yinchuan continued:

“This mutant Rattata is very picky about food. It only likes fresh food or delicious dishes. Its beard seems to increase its sense of smell. It will use its sharp teeth to bite off any obstacles and then get the food accurately. This is a form of theft for us humans.”

[It seems a bit bad! ]

“But we can use this ability of the evil-type Rattata to help us pick out the freshest ingredients. If we encounter one and tame it, we can bring one with us when we go to the market. It will be very useful.”

【Can it still be like this? 】

【Get one for my mom! 】

[But… the evil Rattata looks dirtier and uglier than the normal one! The beard looks like an old man with a mustache!]

[That’s wrong! Black is dirt-resistant! ]

Ye Yinchuan admitted it.

The mutated Rattata is still not as cute as the original Rattata.

But people who like mice will still like it.

People who don’t like mice won’t like it!

In fact, the so-called mutated Rattata, for him, is the Alola region form of Rattata.

Just calling it a mutation makes it easier for the audience to understand.

After all, there is no Alola region in this world.

“So, host, in terms of combat effectiveness, how does this mutant little Rattata perform?”

“Because of the evil attribute, the combat situations that can be dealt with will be more diverse. The evil attribute is not very afraid of the psychic type, and the psychic type is very strong… so you know.

Moreover, the Rattata can master some evil-type moves, such as biting, vicious pursuit, and crushing. Compared with the normal Rattata, this mutant Rattata can exert the power of these moves more effectively.

On the other hand, it is also able to master and use general techniques skillfully.

This little Rattata’s individual value is B-level, and its characteristic is vitality. Overall, it is quite good.”

Ye Yinchuan knew what the other party was concerned about, so he told him everything without reservation.

At this moment, the surrounding Pokémon suddenly became agitated.

The Rat King turned the camera and suddenly found a Pokémon with bared teeth, a ferocious face, and golden hair on its head, which extended along its body and to its tail.

This Pokémon, at some point, broke into his yard.

“Anchor, what kind of Pokémon is this?”

“That’s Meerkat. Besides Rattata, other rodent Pokémon can easily become its food.”

As Ye Yinchuan looked at this Pokémon, he was also slightly surprised.

There are usually few meerkats, so don’t they all fall asleep after the sun sets?
[Haha, the anchor was slapped in the face, right? Didn’t they say that the meerkats would not appear at night? ]

[The meerkat is missing this tooth, it looks scary! ]

[It feels pretty fierce, and it feels like it can bite the little Rattata into pieces in just a few bites! ]

“Ahem… maybe this little meerkat also likes to stay up late.”

Regarding this situation, Ye Yinchuan could only shamelessly explain it this way.

But Ye Yinchuan was puzzled as to why the meerkat boy suddenly appeared here.

“Humph! A mere meerkat dares to come to my territory as the Rat King. He is simply courting death! Don’t think that rats are afraid of cats. That’s a rumor. What I train are elite rats!”

When the Rat King saw the meerkats coming, he suddenly became energetic and started shouting impromptu.

Apart from anything else, the show is still effective.

[666, the Rat King is so funny, I just like him.]

[You know what, it rhymes quite well, it’s addictive! ]

At this time, the Rat King picked up a shovel and wanted to drive the mongoose away.

Ye Yinchuan was confused. They were supposed to be elite rats, so why do you just go up there with a shovel in hand?

[It’s so funny, if there’s something wrong, just do it yourself, this trainer can handle it! 】

“No, be careful of getting bitten!”

Ye Yinchuan reminded.

But the Rat King was also very skilled and bold. He took small steps and rushed forward, striking the ground next to the meerkat with a clang.

This scared the meerkat a little.

But its eyes were always searching in the yard.

“Squeak!”

“Squeak squeak!”

I saw a large number of Rattata appearing out of nowhere, and they were all black. They were all mutated, or in other words, the Alola region form!
“So many mutant Rattatas!”

The Rat King was ecstatic.

Ye Yinchuan frowned. This was not surprising.

After all, if there are two Alola Rattatas, one male and one female, they can quickly give birth to a litter.

Rattata itself is very weak, so even if it is a mutated one, it can’t be very valuable.

Even if there are so many, the Rat King won’t be able to support them all.

At this point, the case can be considered solved.

It turns out that the few meerkats were attracted here by these little Radas?

“Something feels wrong…”

Ye Yinchuan keenly smelled something unusual.

Because the most common state of this meerkat is grouchy and sleepy when waking up.

In other words, it should have been sleeping, but was woken up by accident.

“Well……”

At this moment, Mongoose Master’s gaze moved between those evil Rattatas and the Rat King, as if he didn’t know which one to attack.

When the Rat King’s shovel came down again, the meerkat boy went straight to meet it, condensing his energy into his sharp teeth and biting wildly.

The Rat King was dumbfounded when he pulled back the shovel that had suddenly become light.

Because the shovel was bitten into pieces and only a stick was left.

At this moment, the evil Rattatas around also made a big move.

[Rat King, don’t worry about the lack of meerkats, your house has been robbed! ]

The barrage reminded frantically.

The Rat King looked back and realized that those evil Rattatas were frantically destroying his yard. They had bitten his cage and incubator into pieces, and had also bitten several large holes in the yard fence.

Now all the Pokémon started running around, some even ran away without even looking back!
“My Pokémon! My Pokémon!”

The Rat King was horrified and panicked.

“Electric Flying Squirrel, where are you going? Come back soon!”

“No! My electric chinchilla, don’t go!”

At this time, Mongoose Boy also rushed towards those evil Rattatas with an angry look, making the scene a complete mess.

“This……”

Ye Yinchuan was speechless as he looked at the wonder before him.

And he just used his [Listening Heart] to get as much inside information as possible.

“It’s over, it’s over!”

The Rat King collapsed and sat on the ground.

Those Pokémon, the meerkat, and a group of mutant Rattatas all ran away.

He didn’t catch any of them, and he fell down and got electrocuted.

At this time, my hair was a little curly due to the electric shock.

[Rat King, don’t be sad. Isn’t there another one? Go back to your room and look in the mirror.]

[It’s so funny, how can they all run away? Don’t you reflect on it? Why are your Pokémon just like wild ones, without any affection or loyalty. ]

[How uncomfortable is this place? As soon as they get a chance, they all run away! ]

[Okay, stop shouting. I declare that your great plan has succeeded. Now there is only one Rat King left! ]

Seeing the comments gloating over the misfortune, and looking as if they couldn’t be more insulted, Ye Yinchuan shook his head helplessly.

It must have taken a lot of effort for the Rat King to collect so many rat Pokémon.

But it is also true that he is obsessed and blind about Pokémon.

That is not pure love, and naturally you will not get the emotion and loyalty of Pokémon.

“Don’t be sad, Rat King.”

Ye Yinchuan thought about it and decided to comfort her.
“If they run away, they run away. Think about it from another perspective. These Pokémon can’t even get enough food here. It would be better for them to wander around. They will be happier this way.”

After hearing Ye Yinchuan’s words, the Rat King’s expression became even more sad.

[Anchor, you didn’t let him go either! ]

“I’m not kidding. You can’t treat all Pokémon with your heart, so you might as well set them free. This incident was an accident, but to some extent, it was also inevitable.

Just like what the comment said, don’t you realize your problem? Why do all the Pokémon run away as soon as they get a chance? It means they don’t regard you as their master or companion at all.”

Ye Yinchuan tried to alert the Rat King.

After hearing this, the Rat King sat down on the ground dejectedly:
“Host, I’m such a failure… When I was little, I raised a little Rattata. I took great care of it. The first thing I did when I got home from school every day was to visit the little Rattata.

But my parents said that I was not doing my job properly and asked me to give up Rattata and raise a normal Pokémon. I didn’t agree because I wanted to train Rattata to be the most powerful one…

As a result, one day when I came home from school, Rada was gone. My parents gave it to someone else. I was sad for a long time. Later I learned that Rada was killed by that person because he had a cat and Rada was a toy for the cat…

I swore at that time that I must raise the most powerful Rattata… Later, I don’t know how, I became determined to raise the most powerful rat Pokémon…

Maybe I know that I am useless, and so is little Rada, and there is no hope at all…”

Ye Yinchuan did not interrupt the Rat King.

The barrage of comments kept popping up, and from the initial ridicule of the Rat King, it gradually turned into sympathy and comfort.

[Alas, the Rat King is also a pitiful man, having to deal with such parents. ]

[So that’s how it is. I was wondering why he was so weird…]

[Is this due to a severe mental trauma? The original family and childhood trauma are the cause! ]

[I am raising green caterpillars now, and my parents don’t like me! ]

“Squeak…”

Just then, a voice sounded, and the mutated little Rada came back and appeared in front of the Rat King.

The reason why we were sure it was that one was because there were wounds on its body that were bandaged by the Rat King himself.

“Don’t be sad, Rat King. Your little Rattata is back.”

Watch this scene.

Ye Yinchuan couldn’t help but speak.

This is a double entendre.

[Wow! Why did the evil-type Rattata come back? Aren’t evil-types considered bad?]

[Don’t forget, the evil type is also the most loyal! ]

[Maybe… the Rat King treats this little Rattata well? ]

“Little Rada, you…”

The Rat King had a feeling of having lost something and then regained it.

This feeling is very subtle.

It seems like I lost a lot, but also found some extremely precious things.

The Rat King tried to reach out.

Little Rada also climbed onto his hands obediently and was held in his arms.

“Little Rada…”

The Rat King’s eyes were moist.

This man, who is nearly thirty years old and has been down and out in life, seems to have found back the thing that was once most precious to him.

[Okay, okay, I’m a little touched! ]

[I would like to call you the real Rat King! ]

“Squeak!”

Baby Rattata jumped out of the Rat King’s arms.

At some point, a group of mutant Rattatas gathered in the yard.

“This is……”

The Rat King was still a little confused.

Ye Yinchuan explained:

“This mutant little Rattata is the youngest child in their group and is considered the group’s favorite. Originally, these little Rattatas came to rescue it. Maybe you are nice to the little Rattata, so it recognizes you and is willing to introduce its brothers and sisters and tribe to you…”

[No? Host, you know this now? ]

[I suspect you are making up a story, but I have no evidence.]

“Don’t disbelieve it…”

Ye Yinchuan held his forehead and smiled bitterly.
“Why do you think Mongoose Junior appeared at night? This was also part of the Rattatas’ plan. They deliberately woke up Mongoose Junior and lured him over to attract the Rat King’s attention, and then took the opportunity to rescue his companions.

They have proven to be successful.”

【what? 】

[How come this is still possible? ]

After a period of silence, the barrage of comments broke out again.

[Is Pokémon really that smart? It feels smarter than my son! ]

[I am convinced. If this is true, it is too awesome! ]

[It makes sense. Rattatas are the type that gather in groups. It’s normal for them to help each other out and rescue each other! ]

Ye Yinchuan also said helplessly:

“Pokémon are so spiritual. So why do we treat Pokémon with care, as companions, friends, and even family?

Maybe it’s because this mutant Rattata is valued, or maybe the Rat King still has a filter for Rattata in his heart. Anyway… he treats Rattata well, and Rattata can feel it, which is why there is such a scene now…”

[Very reasonable, but a little hard to accept! ]

Ye Yinchuan just smiled in response to the barrage.

This is nothing. The thing about the vine monster and the lobster soldier is outrageous.

At this moment, a relatively large guy emerged from a group of small Ladas.

“Rada!”

Rattata is the evolved form of Rattata.

This one is obviously different from the ordinary Lada. It is completely black, with only its cheeks, four eyes and tail being cream-colored. Its body is also rounder than the ordinary Lada. It looks like there is not much change, but in fact it feels completely different.

It is obvious that this Rada is the leader of the Little Rada.

“squeak……”

Rada seemed to be giving some instructions, and a group of little Rada came to the Rat King with a piece of fresh meat wrapped in white transparent plastic.

“The Rada chief is expressing his gratitude to you. Thank you for rescuing the injured little Rada and taking good care of it. And the little Rada is willing to stay with you. It hopes that you can accept this thank you gift.”

“Oh, okay…”

The Rat King came to his senses and took the piece of meat.

Then Rada retreated with the other little Radas, leaving only the Rat King and the mutant little Rada, looking a little disheveled in the wind.

“Anchor…”

“Hmm? Any more questions?”

“This piece of meat looks like the meat I put in the refrigerator…my refrigerator!”

When the Rat King went back, he saw that the refrigerator had been bitten.

“This is the new refrigerator I bought this year!”

He was a little mad, and little Rada was beside him, pulling his trouser legs to comfort him.

[I am dying of laughter. The Rat King is so miserable. 】

【Thank him for bringing us joy! 】

[This result… is acceptable, right? ]

“Don’t be nervous. It should still work after some repairs. Be careful if the coolant leaks out. It will explode when it comes in contact with open flames.”

Ye Yinchuan reminded.

The Rat King asked sincerely:

“Host, I’ve realized my problem. I also seem to understand how to get along better with Pokémon. My heart knot has also been untied a little.

No matter what, I will get along well with this little Rattata from now on and continue my childhood dream, which is to train it to be the most powerful Rattata!

Do you know much about this Pokémon? Can you give me some advice?”

After Ye Yinchuan pondered for a moment, he spoke:
“I don’t have any special suggestions. I just think that fighting is not the only criterion for whether a Pokémon is good or bad, or powerful or not.

Take this little Lada for example. It has a keen sense of smell and can identify the freshest and most delicious ingredients. It can also shine in other areas.

I suggest you learn to be a chef first, find a job with little Rada, and then open a small restaurant and get your life in order.

By the way, I haven’t asked yet, your current source of income is…”

“Living off my parents…”

“Well, my judgment is correct. Your parents probably don’t have the ability to support you for your whole life. Before you raise the most powerful Rattata, you should think about your life carefully. Training Pokémon also requires money.”

[This… is hard to comment! ]

[Are you sure? With a little Rattata, you can be a good cook? I almost ran away when I saw the little Rattata! ]

[How many years does it take to learn to be a chef? Have you ever considered this, host? ]

“Well… maybe my suggestions are a little difficult to implement, or you can say I took it for granted.

But what I want to say is that if the Rat King doesn’t have the ability to be self-reliant now and only wants to train Rattata, then both his life and the training of Rattata will easily become a mess.”

“Thank you, anchor. I’ll consider what you said. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll go do some screw driving or deliver food… and I’m planning to just keep one first, it will be much less stressful.”

“Okay, that’s it. I can’t waste any more time, there’s still the next connection. I wish you and your little Rada more and more success.

As for the Pokémon that have escaped, you can report them to the community or Pokémon Center. Even if you can’t keep them, you have to find a suitable place for them.”

Having said that, Ye Yinchuan disconnected the connection.

[User “Rat King” presented a gift: 10 Poké Balls! ]

[Gift message: Host, thank you for helping me find what I lost. ]

“In fact, you found it yourself. You never gave up on your childhood dream. It’s just that your direction was wrong. It’s not too late now.”

After saying that, Ye Yinchuan looked for the next connection.

“Family members, this is the last round of online competition. Are there any experts left? Bring your treasures for free appraisal and gifts!”

Along with Ye Yinchuan’s shouting, a lot of barrages popped up soon.

One of the comments attracted Ye Yinchuan’s attention.

@地鼠罢了: [Host, I am a miner. When we were mining at night, we found something incredible. Can you help identify it? ]

　6k, update is coming!
