Watching the chat feed grow increasingly toxic with malicious speculation and appearance discrimination, Miles pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation.
He understood that humans, as visual creatures, naturally yearned for beautiful things and instinctively rejected the ugly.
Even Miles's own scalp would tingle if he had to face a dark-skinned Jynx with thick red lips constantly demanding kisses.
However, as a professional Pokémon appraisal master, he absolutely refused to tolerate this kind of "Pokémon discrimination" running rampant in his stream, especially when it was based on sheer ignorance.
Comments like "Evolution is a mistake, better to strangle it early" or "A Jynx will definitely drag you into the deep mountains to suck your life force dry" were simply absurd!
"Chat, please stay rational and don't get led astray by baseless tabloid rumors," Miles said.
His expression grew solemn. He felt obligated to clear the name of a Pokémon that had suffered such unjust criticism.
"Always remember one rule... never judge a book by its cover. More importantly, never judge a Pokémon's nature by its appearance."
"Every life deserves respect. You don't have to like how it looks, but please, do not maliciously hurt or stigmatize them."
Miles cleared his throat, leaning into the microphone to reveal a lesser-known truth.
"Actually, Jynx is an incredibly delicate, gentle, and spiritual Pokémon. They aren't bloodthirsty or aggressive like some carnivorous species; they deeply love peace."
"Deep within the snowy mountains, they use a unique method of communication—rhythmic dancing and ethereal singing."
He scoffed, offering a sharp rebuttal to the chat's fears.
"As for those urban legends about them kidnapping strong men to be their mountain husbands, that's complete nonsense!"
"Think about it logically. Jynx wield powerful Psychic-type and Ice-type abilities. If they truly took pleasure in attacking humans, the Pokémon League and the Pokémon Centers would have sent heavy reinforcements to put them on a high-risk extermination list ages ago."
"Do you really think they'd be allowed to thrive in the snow mountains?"
"The truth is actually quite touching," Miles continued, his tone softening.
"Jynx live year-round in freezing, inaccessible mountains. Whenever a mountaineer or traveler loses their way in a blizzard and is on the verge of freezing to death, the kind-hearted Jynx will actively reveal themselves."
"They use their unique psychic powers to soothe the human's fear and despair."
"That dance they do—which might look a bit bizarre to us—is actually meant to keep the victim awake. They will even use their own body heat to warm the freezing human."
Miles let out a long sigh, a trace of sorrow in his voice for these unsung heroes.
"Unfortunately, visibility is terrible in a blizzard. Combine that with Jynx's iconic thick red lips and peculiar appearance, and humans hovering on the brink of death often experience severe visual hallucinations and psychological trauma."
"When they finally make it down the mountain, they exaggerate the story for clout, twisting their saviors into hideous snow demons that drain human life force!"
"So, please drop your prejudices. They aren't demons; they are just spirits of the snow who happen to fall outside the standard human aesthetic."
This logical, resonant, and deeply empathetic explanation landed like a heavy slap to the face, completely waking up the viewers who had bought into the ghost stories.
[Viewer "Late Night Cultivator": My God... After hearing Master Miles's words, I suddenly feel so sad. Saving people's lives only to be cursed for eternity. That's a tragic injustice!]
[Viewer "Outlaw John Doe": I learned something today! Master Miles is incredibly based! No appearance discrimination, no stigmatizing Pokémon! If anyone dares to spread rumors about Jynx in front of me, I, John Doe, will be the first to sue them!]
[Viewer "Veteran Wild Pokémon Breeding Scholar": Deafening and enlightening! This is the true demeanor of a master! He isn't just imparting knowledge; he's spreading the correct philosophy of living in harmony with nature. I am humbled!]
[Viewer "Just Want to Quietly be a Rich Lady": Waaah, I didn't know there was such a touching story behind them. Master Miles, if you like Jynx so much, why don't you raise one yourself? I'll sponsor the feeding costs entirely!]
Miles's mouth twitched at the wealthy viewer's last message.
It's a touching story, sure, he thought to himself. But I'm a hardcore straight man. I can't handle that kind of blessing. I'll leave it to someone else.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the screen, the muscle-bound Tiger cradled the little Smoochum in his left arm. With his right hand, he scrolled through a spare phone. He had just looked up high-definition pictures of Jynx.
The internet claimed that face could "stop a child from crying out of sheer terror." But to everyone's surprise, as Tiger stared at the image, he didn't show a single ounce of fear or disgust.
Instead, his eyes lit up. He visibly gulped.
"Oh my! Is this what Smoochum looks like when she grows up? The red dress, the golden wavy hair, and those sexy thick lips..." Tiger gushed. He forced a bizarrely cutesy voice that completely clashed with his massive frame.
"She actually looks pretty good! She's a cute little baby right now, but I don't care what she transforms into later. I'll never abandon her!" Tiger gazed affectionately at the Smoochum in his arms, holding her like a priceless treasure.
"If she can really sing and dance when she grows up, that would be absolutely perfect! We can have a living room disco every single day!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the 1.9-meter-tall, heavily muscled, hairy giant set his phone down. He placed his hands on his barrel-thick waist, hummed a strange beat, and launched into an impromptu, visually catastrophic dance right in front of tens of thousands of viewers!
His movements were wide and explosive, yet the sway of his hips and the flick of his hands carried a strangely coquettish flair. A confident smile spread across his stubbled face, making the whole display feel like an outright assault on the eyes.
Even more unbelievably, the Smoochum caught onto the cheerful rhythm. She happily hopped down to the floor. Mimicking Tiger's hip-twisting motions, she began to wiggle her little pink-and-purple bottom.
The round-headed little creature in her yellow bib looked incredibly petite next to Tiger's massive body. Yet, the giant man and the tiny Pokémon displayed an eerie, jaw-dropping synchronization on camera!
Faced with this magical scene—equal parts mental pollution and pure joy—even the highly experienced Miles completely lost his composure.
"Mother of God..." Miles muttered, covering his face.
He didn't even know how to begin evaluating Tiger's dance moves. The guy's preferences were an unsolved mystery.
Still, Miles had to admit one thing. Watching a human and a Pokémon interact with zero barriers, dancing in perfect sync as if their souls were connected, was undeniably infectious.
Sitting back in his gaming chair, Miles found his own body swaying gently to the beat coming through the screen.
[Viewer "Frontline Melon Eater": LMAO! Holy crap! Master Miles is getting into it too! The vibe in this stream has completely derailed into a senior citizen disco!]
[Viewer "Canyon's Most Affectionate Jungler": Bro is cooking! Bro Tiger's dance is a total wipeout! I can't take it anymore, the entertainment value is off the charts. Unfollowing this boring appraisal streamer right now to go hunt down Bro Tiger's account!]
[Viewer "Veteran Wild Pokémon Breeding Scholar": A match made in heaven! Could he truly be the legendary, once-in-a-century chosen Trainer for the Jynx evolutionary line?!]
[Viewer "Late Night Cultivator": Wake up, Master Miles! Your chat is running away! Hurry up and stop this eye-burning display!]
Watching the chat flood with jokes about unfollowing him to simp for Tiger, Miles feigned anger and glared into the camera.
"Hey, hey, hey! What do you mean you're unfollowing me?!" he shouted, slapping his desk in a half-joking threat.
"If you want to follow the muscle man, go ahead, but why unfollow me to do it? Burning bridges, are we? Anyone else who tries to derail the stream is getting the deluxe ban-hammer package from my mods!"
After a chaotic and hilarious interactive session, Tiger finally stopped his blindingly strange dance.
Panting, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and scooped Smoochum back up, holding her close to the camera. His tone turned completely sincere.
"Master Miles, thank you for your guidance. After hearing what you said, I'm one hundred percent certain I'm going to raise this Smoochum llike family. Is there anything specific I need to know about her daily care and training?"
Seeing Tiger ask for serious advice, Miles dropped the banter. He resumed his strict, professional demeanor.
"Brother Tiger, the fact that you can calmly accept her future evolution means you've already cleared the hardest hurdle. Your mindset is invincible."
Miles paused to gather his thoughts before diving into his professional advice.
"First, Smoochums inherently love beauty. They care deeply about their appearance—especially their faces—and absolutely refuse to get dirty. So, stock up on non-irritating wet wipes and a specialized Pokémon grooming comb. If you have the budget, buy her a few pretty outfits. Satisfy her vanity, and she'll become even more devoted to you."
"Second, her diet. They are omnivorous Pokémon. She can eat the boiled chicken breast and broccoli you usually meal-prep, but it's best to add Berries and Pokéblocks rich in trace elements for balanced nutrition."
Towards the end, Miles's gaze grew sharp. His tone deepened as he delivered a critical safety warning.
"But the most important point is this... you picked this child up from the wild snowfields."
"That means she likely has fiercely protective wild parents who are currently tearing the world apart looking for her!"
"If a wild Jynx goes on a rampage, its Ice and Psychic-type destructive power is nothing to scoff at. They might be friendly to humans, but when it comes to the safety of their young, they will fight to the death."
"So, you must be extremely careful when taking her outside right now. If a wild Jynx comes knocking, contact the police or the Pokémon Center immediately. Do not try to fight them head-on. Do you understand?"
[Viewer "Outlaw John Doe": The details! Master Miles is incredibly thorough! Not only did he consider the Pokémon's psychological needs, but he also anticipated a potential wild species conflict! W streamer for professional competence!]
[Viewer "Just Want to Live Peacefully": Oh right, I almost forgot about that. Wild Pokémon are insane when searching for their cubs. Bro Tiger, do not let your guard down.]
[Viewer "Canyon's Most Affectionate Jungler": Honestly, Bro Tiger and Smoochum are a match made in heaven. Wishing the father and daughter safety!]
"I understand! I understand! I've carved every word into my brain, Master Miles! Thank you so much, you are a lifesaver!"
Tiger nodded profusely, his eyes brimming with endless gratitude.
Just as Miles was preparing to wave goodbye and welcome the next lucky viewer, a blindingly gorgeous Superchat effect erupted in the center of the stream!
Ding dong!
[System: User 'Wild Muscle Man Tiger' generously gifted the streamer a Limited Edition Collectible—Pikachu Exclusive Headgear!]
Accompanied by the system's high-pitched notification, an orb of sparkling electric light exploded across the screen, and a virtual Pikachu bounced out joyfully.
Immediately after, the Pikachu transformed into a fluffy, yellow cartoon headgear with two long ears.
Defying spatial constraints, it perfectly and forcibly plastered itself right onto Miles's head on the camera feed!
Miles's normally cool face, paired with the absurdly cute oversized Pikachu headgear, instantly created an incredibly hilarious contrast.
For Miles—a "miserable worker" desperately in need of accumulating Influence Points to upgrade his system—this was an incredibly lucrative payout.
He beamed internally, deciding that this generous Bro Tiger was a pretty great guy after all.
However, as he smiled and glanced at the highlighted, pinned message floating alongside the gift, his expression froze over like solid ice.
A layer of cold sweat uncontrollably beaded on his forehead.
[Pinned Message from Wild & Steamy Straight Man Tiger: Oh my~ Master Miles is really something else. Not only are you a walking treasure trove of knowledge, but you're also incredibly handsome, and so gentle and loving towards Pokémon. Tiger absolutely loves you~ Master Miles, if you have time, I would super love to take you out for a drink offline! Waiting for you~ ]
Staring at the screen full of aggressively affectionate, emoji-laced innuendos, Miles felt like a venomous snake had just locked onto his spine.
A terrifying chill shot straight from his tailbone to his skull.
"Cough, cough... Well, uh, thank you very much for your generous support, Bro Tiger," Miles gulped, stammering.
Without a moment's hesitation, he clicked the 'Disconnect' button on the screen.
"Let me make a public declaration right now," Miles announced, panic lacing his voice...
"Your streamer is a straight man who only sells his skills! Let's just skip the high-risk offline meetups!"
As Miles delivered his oath, Tiger's muscular figure completely vanished from the right side of the screen.
"Phew... That was terrifying."
Miles wiped the sweat from his brow.. He took a moment to calm his frantically racing heart before shouting back into the microphone.
"Alright, chat! That last bit was just a minor interlude. Let's turn the page immediately!"
"Let's quickly welcome our next appraisal guest for the night...
