197: Section 197

“Alright, it’s time for us to go.”

After introducing the two forms of Toxtricity to the Water Friends and simply treating its injuries, Zhang Yu and his group quickly left the area.

There was no other way; they had to be quick. Who knew if Toxtricity would try to fight them again once it woke up?

“Hmm?”

“Is that… a Minccino?”

After advancing for some distance, Zhang Yu and the others spotted a cute little creature on a large tree. Most of its fur was grey, and it had a pair of large ears on its head, looking somewhat like a South American Chinchilla standing upright.

No, South American Chinchillas could apparently stand on two legs already.

“Min?”

After Zhang Yu spoke, Minccino also noticed their presence and immediately looked over at them, tilting its head curiously.

However, it quickly retracted its attention and looked back up at the large tree.

It was only then that Zhang Yu noticed a few ranz berry growing on the tree.

Apparently, this was a fruit tree.

But whether it was due to insufficient nutrients in the area or because they had already been picked, there were only a few sparse ranz berry on this fruit tree, and they were all growing on very thin branches.

Even with Minccino’s extremely light weight, it couldn’t climb those branches, which meant it could only stand there, looking longingly at the ranz berry.

“Meow~”

“Confusion!”

Upon seeing this situation, Meowstic couldn’t help but use Confusion, plucking two of the ranz berry and making them float automatically in front of Minccino.

“Min?”

“Min!”

Minccino was initially confused by this sudden situation. It wasn’t until its eyes met Meowstic’s below that it belatedly realized what was happening.

After thanking Meowstic, it immediately cheered, hugged the two ranz berry, and picked up one of them, beginning to eat it in small bites.

“Huh? Where did this little cutie come from? It’s practically melting my heart!”

“Indeed, this is another very cute Pokémon.”

“Is it just my imagination, or do I feel like I’ve seen a similar creature somewhere before?”

“You’re not trying to say you’ve seen this Pokémon before, or a Pokémon related to it, are you?”

“No, no, no, what I mean is, it looks somewhat like a creature on Blue Star, but I can’t quite remember what it is right now.”

“I think what you’re talking about is probably a Chinchilla? It’s also known as a South American Chinchilla, or a fluffball. It does look very similar to this Pokémon, but compared to this Pokémon, Chinchillas don’t have such large ears, and their bodies are much fatter, with an overall physique very similar to a hamster.”

“Yes, yes, yes! That’s what I was talking about! I felt like I’d seen something similar to this appearance somewhere before, so it was a Chinchilla!”

“It has to be said, both this little creature and Chinchillas are top-notch adorable.”

“Isn’t that right?”

“The only thing that makes me feel a bit regretful is that most of this little creature’s fur is grey, with only a small tuft of white fur. If its whole body were white, it would probably look even better.”

“If it were white, wouldn’t it just become a white fur ball?”

“Don’t even say that, after I imagined that look, I found that it really does seem to have become cuter.”

“How about, if we really encounter such a little creature in the future, we try dyeing it after catching it?”

“Let’s not, actually, I feel it’s quite good as it is now.”

“Yes, the original look is good. What’s up with your dyeing idea?”

“Exactly, dyeing can damage the fur, which would only be counterproductive.”

“More importantly, whether you even have the luck to encounter one is another matter. What’s the point of thinking so much now?”

“That hits hard, buddy.”

“It has to be said, what they said does make some sense.”

The Water Friends in the livestream naturally also noticed Minccino, and almost instantly, they were captivated by this cute little creature.

Chapter 274: Minccino (Seeking Subscription)

The reason for this situation was undoubtedly that Minccino’s appearance played a significant role.

One must know that even now, Pokémon as extremely cute as Minccino are very rare, and only a few can be luckily caught by some fortunate individuals.

Minccino’s appearance gave them new hope.

They only hoped that Minccino wasn’t like Eevee, a rare Pokémon, otherwise, they would be out of luck.

“It seems you are all very interested in this little creature. In that case, I’ll give you a good introduction to it.”

Zhang Yu was not surprised by the reaction of the bullet comments at this time, after all, Minccino’s appearance was right there, and he could basically guess the reactions in the livestream.

After briefly organizing his thoughts, he slowly began to speak.

“This little creature is called Minccino, and it is a pure Normal-type Pokémon.”

“Don’t let its grey fur fool you; it’s actually a very clean Pokémon, always using its tail like a broom to sweep dust from its living space.”

“In addition, it will also use its tail to clean its companions thoroughly, which is a way for them to greet each other.”

“To clean its own body, and its tail, which gets dirty from sweeping its nest, it will even spend a full day washing it with gushing clean spring water.”

“Furthermore, because it always takes care of its tail, its tail always remains beautiful and shiny.”

“Minccino even compare with each other, and they believe that the one with the fluffier tail appears more majestic.”

“Because of its mysophobia, Minccino cannot tolerate even a speck of dirt. Although it’s good that it helps with cleaning, its mysophobia can also be a handful.”

“If you truly wish to catch it, you must first consider this aspect of the problem.”

Considering that many people had the idea of catching Minccino, Zhang Yu also mentioned some precautions for getting along with Minccino when introducing it.

Undoubtedly, although Minccino has some minor flaws, overall, it is definitely the kind of Pokémon that everyone likes.

The only thing that would give people a headache is its mysophobia.

“Not only cute but also very clean? Who wouldn’t like such a Pokémon?”

“Yes, it’s simply too tempting.”

“So, does that mean even if we catch a Minccino, we don’t have to worry too much about it?”

“It seems that’s indeed the case. After all, it’s very clean itself, and we don’t need to meddle in that aspect at all. We just need to pay a little attention to other areas.”

“You’ve got it wrong. The areas where Minccino will make you worry will probably be much more than you think.”

“Exactly, Minccino isn’t just ordinarily clean; it’s genuinely mysophobic. In such a situation, you must always maintain a very high standard of hygiene at home, otherwise, it will definitely affect Minccino’s mood. Once or twice might be fine, but if it happens too often, it might just run away.”

“This is indeed a worrying problem.”

“I feel the most suitable people for Minccino are those who are already mysophobic themselves, or at least very clean people. Otherwise, problems will arise sooner or later.”

“Honestly, if it’s just generally clean, that’s fine, many people can probably do that. But if it’s the kind of cleanliness that borders on mysophobia, then I’m afraid not many people can actually achieve that.”

“To be fair, indeed.”

“You can’t say that either. There’s still a possibility of some more special circumstances, and don’t you think it’s a good thing if someone can change their own habits for Minccino, isn’t it?”

“If one can truly achieve such a thing, then it’s undoubtedly true love.”

“You know, just for Minccino’s looks, maybe someone really would do something like that.”

“Indeed, after all, he would have the motivation to do it. If he can persevere, it can indeed form a good habit.”

“So, we germaphobes are in luck?”

“Indeed, you’re in luck. At least for now, you are undoubtedly the most compatible with Minccino.”

“When people think of mice, the first thing that comes to mind is dirtiness. It’s unexpected that such an exception would appear among Pokémon. It’s truly quite surprising.”

The Water Friends, who were already very interested in Minccino, became even more so after hearing Zhang Yu’s introduction to it.

Chapter 275: A Group of Little Cuties (Seeking Subscription)

However, they quickly noticed a problem: Minccino’s personality seemed a bit problematic.

It’s very likely that it wouldn’t get along with most people.

After all, Minccino wasn’t just ordinarily clean; it was genuinely mysophobic.

“Min~”

Upon hearing Zhang Yu’s words, Minccino immediately wagged its tail as if showing off.

This allowed Zhang Yu to notice that this Minccino’s tail was indeed very well-groomed; it not only looked very beautiful but was also extremely smooth.

He just wondered what it would feel like to touch it.

“Mew!”

Just then, a very soft voice came from not far away.
