Chapter 58 Ugly Fish with No Looks and No Strength? They Just Love Keeping Them, You Can't Stop

Chapter 58 An Ugly Fish with No Looks and No Strength? They Just Love Keeping Them, You Can't Stop Them! (Please Read On!)

I once suspected that the streamer made up this name.

This ugly fish is truly uniquely ugly; it looks too much like a human, and it's quite unsettling to look at.

I've heard that the uglier the ugly fish, the tastier it is.

"Host, can I catch it?"

Upon hearing that it was a normal fish Pokémon, and especially after seeing comments in the live chat saying it was edible, the fishing guy got excited.

"We can arrest him, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, the fisherman put his phone aside, turned around, and tiptoed closer to the ugly fish.

With a "plop," the fisherman jumped into the water.

After a violent struggle, both the person and the ugly fish vanished...

Oh no, could it really be a guide fish?!

May there be no ugly fish in heaven!

The next moment, with a splash, the ugly fish leaped high out of the water, below which was the fisherman who had been slapped by the fish's tail.

This scene is truly hilarious.

The ugly fish leaping out of the water also allows people to see its appearance clearly.

Although it looks ugly in the water, it's not so scary once you see it clearly.

After all, fear stems from the unknown.

It is people's associations and imaginations that make this ugly fish seem so terrifying.

Ye Yinchuan was also admiring the ugly fish.

The ugly fish has a yellowish-brown body, which looks like human skin color in the water. It has sunken eye sockets, a pair of dead fish eyes that are always staring, a bumpy body surface, and thick pink sausage lips that are slightly droopy.

No wonder it was mistaken for a rotting human face underwater in the dim light.

The fins and tail are grayish-blue and indeed tattered, but the dorsal fin, which looks like a small handle, is rather distinctive.

"It is indeed ugly. But I've heard that the uglier the Feebas, the more beautiful the Milotic it evolves into. I wonder if that's true or not."

In the end, the fisherman managed to catch the ugly fish.

Although Pokémon are extraordinary beings, this Feebas can only leap and can't escape its older brother's clutches.

"Is this what D-rank base stats look like? Level 13 already, and still got defeated by a human with bare hands. Or has your brother trained a lot, absorbing a lot of Pokémon energy?"

Ye Yinchuan even suspected that this Tail-Up wasn't the only Pokémon the fishing guy owned.

【Hey, ugly thing, get it away!】

The little thing is really cute.

[This is ugliness at its finest! Even the Uglyfish is rarely this ugly!]

The comments section was filled with criticism of the ugly fish's appearance.

"Host, do you think this thing will taste good? It looks rather shabby, I don't really have an appetite for it."

The fisherman caught this ugly fish, stuffed it into his fish basket, and his catch for the day was quite full.

"Are you really planning to take it home and eat it? This ugly fish looks pretty good; you could keep it."

"Good appearance" means extremely ugly, right?

[If we don't eat this, can we still keep it for evolution?]

"Forget it, streamer, what's the point of collecting this thing? Like the comments said, can it even be kept to evolve? It's just an eyesore to keep it at home. I'll take it home and burn it, and taste it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan's heart stirred.

In this world, the ugly fish is considered relatively rare.

Furthermore, no one knew that Feebas would evolve into Milotic...

"What I'm saying is, this thing can evolve? And the evolved form is incredibly gorgeous and beautiful."

"Haha, streamer, although you know a lot, I don't believe this thing can evolve into a beautiful form. It's not like Magikarp, where one in a million has the potential to evolve into Gyarados under extremely rare circumstances!"

Hearing the fisherman say that, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but mutter to himself again.

This Feebas is indeed a Pokémon comparable to Gyarados.

However, Ye Yinchuan also gleaned some information from the fisherman's words.

That means the people in this world at least know that Magikarp can evolve into Gyarados, although the conditions are quite demanding.

[Fun fact: The streamer has never been proven wrong!]

[Could Feebas really evolve?]

Is the streamer's research institute friend about to make another appearance?

[You can catch that with your bare hands? That looks so lame!]

Ye Yinchuan thought about it and decided to keep quiet.

After all, in this world, even the conditions for Feebas to evolve into Milotic are not yet clear.

You can't expect people to raise them for no reason, can you?

"Hey streamer, I'm practically a fan now. If you like this ugly fish, I can give it to you. I've caught enough fish today anyway. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have dared to go down and catch this ugly fish!"

Haha, I wouldn't take something this ugly even if it were given to me for free!

[Stop bragging, streamer. If you're so capable, then take the job.]

Ye Yinchuan was taken aback.

He never expected that this fan would want to send him this ugly fish.

"Should I get another ugly fish...?"

Ye Yinchuan is indeed considering it.

If it were before, when he and Munchlax couldn't even get enough to eat, he definitely wouldn't have hesitated at all and would have refused outright.

Well now.

After several live streams, the earnings have been quite good.

The main purpose is to raise a Feebas, which seems to require less cost compared to a small Snorlax.

"Okay, I'll take this Feebas. I'll cover the cost of transporting it live, and I won't take your Pokémon for free; I'll give you some steamed buns later."

I just love Pokémon, and if I want one, I want it; there's no stopping me!

[The streamer is so ugly, why give him a steamed bun?]

[The person upstairs who doesn't understand shouldn't talk nonsense. "Steamed bun" simply means money.]

"real?"

Even the fishing guy was a little skeptical.

It's one thing for a streamer to accept such an ugly Pokémon, but to offer him a reward is another.

"Of course. I wouldn't joke about my reputation. But you'll regret it later when I evolve Feebas."

"Haha, how could that be? If this ugly fish could really evolve, it wouldn't be in my hands. It just shows that you, the streamer, have the insight and ability."

[Big Brother is so insightful!]

Why am I kind of looking forward to it? Will the streamer stream this ugly fish again?

【Then I'll definitely follow you!】

Seeing the reactions in the live chat, Ye Yinchuan had a sudden thought.

Raising an ugly fish and having it evolve is a pretty good show, mainly because it's novel and has a contrast.

I hadn't thought much about it just now.

But now, things are much clearer.

"Yes, for those of you who want to see Feebas evolve, remember to follow me. I received this Feebas and it's perfectly fine; I'll just keep it there as a background for my livestreams. Who knows, it might evolve someday!"

Ye Yinchuan pointed to the empty wall behind him.

Although his rented room wasn't big, there was still enough space to keep an ugly fish.

"Hey streamer, I'll hang up now if there's nothing else. I'm soaking wet, I need to hurry home and post your ugly fish video."

"No problem, I'll message you privately later!"

After ending the live stream, Ye Yinchuan glanced at the time, greeted the viewers in the live stream room, and concluded the afternoon's broadcast.

"Family members, the host needs to take a break and have dinner first. See you again at seven o'clock."

With that, he turned off the live stream.

Ye Yinchuan stretched out his waist and interacted with the Munchlax that had come up to him for a while.

He stroked Snorlax's big rabbit ears and said:

"Your new family will be arriving in the next few days, little Kabi, you'd better be mentally prepared."

"Click?"

The little Snorlax's eyes lit up.

They waved their hands as if in celebration and welcome.

It's afraid of being alone and longs for more playmates to play with!
