Chapter 55: Thought It Was Ferocious, Turns Out It Was Just Starving! The Truth Unveiled: It's the Owner Who's Food-Aggressive! (Please Follow!)

[Status: Extremely Hungry, Craving Food]

[Evolution Path: Poochyena → Mightyena]

[Trait: None]

Ye Yinchuan's expression turned strange as he read the Poochyena's stats.

Something was very, very off!

A gentle-natured Poochyena—why would it be food-aggressive?

Even if it was, why would it bite people?

And its status… a domesticated Pokémon being extremely hungry?

Not just hungry—starving?

Was @NoCilantro not feeding it properly or what?

Ye Yinchuan had a suspicion that the real problem might not be the Pokémon… but its owner.

[Streamer's expression looks off…]

[Wait, is this another over-masculine Poochyena case?]

The chat couldn't see the status screen, only Ye Yinchuan's shifting expressions.

"Alright, streamer, watch carefully."

@NoCilantro pulled over a stainless-steel feeding bowl.

The Poochyena locked onto it with an intense, predatory stare, looking like it would pounce at any moment.

[Its gaze is terrifying—it looks like it wants to eat me!]

[This Poochyena seems dangerous!]

Ye Yinchuan ignored the chat and signaled for @NoCilantro to proceed.

She began pouring food into the bowl.

Clatter!

The Pokémon food hit the metal bowl, making a crisp sound—but then suddenly stopped.

She hesitated, then dropped a few more pieces.

"What's wrong?" Ye Yinchuan asked, puzzled. Why stop?

"I forgot the scale," she said.

She pulled out a digital scale, placing it under the bowl.

After deducting the bowl's weight, the screen displayed: 21 grams.

Ye Yinchuan's face grew heavy with suspicion, hesitating to speak.

21 grams… the weight of a soul.

She poured a bit more.

Rattle! More food fell in—then stopped abruptly again.

The new weight? 60 grams.

"Crap, I overpoured!"

@NoCilantro yelped and reached into the bowl to scoop the extra food out.

At that moment, the Poochyena snapped.

"Grrr—WOOF!" It lunged forward, baring its fangs in a menacing snarl.

@NoCilantro flinched backward, her voice trembling.

"Streamer, did you see that?! It almost bit me!"

The chat went wild.

[This dog needs to be sent to the Jurassic Park facility!]

[That was close! This thing is vicious!]

[Dark-type Pokémon don't let go once they bite!]

[Its tail fur stood on end—it's really serious!]

But some viewers noticed something odd.

[Wait… 60 grams was too much?]

[The Poochyena didn't actually bite… it just wanted to eat!]

Ye Yinchuan had seen everything.

His doubts vanished, replaced by sheer disbelief.

"Yeah, I saw it with both eyes." His tone was sarcastic. "But sis… you just said 60 grams was too much…? How much do you normally feed it per meal?"

"50 grams. Why?"

"..."

Ye Yinchuan fell silent.

He scanned the room, looking for something to throw in frustration.

All he found was an empty roasted chicken wrapper.

He grabbed it, slammed it on the table, then shouted at the screen:

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! This Poochyena weighs over 20 pounds and you're feeding it 50 grams per meal?! No wonder it's food-aggressive! YOU'RE the one who's food-aggressive! The poor thing's starving, and you're snatching food back?! I'd bite you too!"

He finally felt a wave of relief after venting.

Normally, he didn't lose his temper—but this time…

First, @NoCilantro's feeding habits were outrageous. It was impossible not to be mad.

Second, for the sake of good stream content, he needed to ramp up the emotion.

"But… but the breeder I bought it from told me to feed only 50 grams! They said never to overfeed it…" @NoCilantro's voice grew weaker, clearly doubting herself now.

[A single egg weighs 50 grams… how long has this poor Poochyena been starving?]

[I thought it was ferocious, turns out it was just starving!]

[Evil dog? More like a hungry dog!]

[Forget rehoming it—just send it to a facility where it can actually eat!]

"Sis, think logically. How big was your Poochyena when you bought it, and how big is it now?"

Ye Yinchuan sighed.

This poor Poochyena was suffering under its owner's ignorance.

"Uh… it's grown a lot since I got it."

"Exactly! As it grows, its food intake should increase too! If you keep giving it 50 grams, of course it's gonna starve! Dump out half a bowl of food, now!"

By this point, the Poochyena had licked its bowl clean and was scouring the floor for crumbs.

It even ate a stray kibble as if it were precious gold.

Hearing Ye Yinchuan say half a bowl, the Poochyena's eyes brightened, as if silently asking, Really, kind father?

@NoCilantro hesitantly added two spoonfuls.

"Half a bowl, half a bowl! What is this tiny portion?!" Ye Yinchuan scolded. "Are you rationing food in wartime? If you don't feed it more, it might as well starve to death!"

Under his pressure, @NoCilantro reluctantly filled half the bowl.

A key detail—when she pulled the bowl away, the Poochyena's ears drooped in fear, as if worried the food would be taken away again.

[How does this person have human-level intelligence?]

[Mystery solved—this Poochyena isn't bad at all!]

Once it finally started eating properly, its belly filled out slightly, and its pace slowed.

"Now, take the bowl away. See if it's still food-aggressive."

@NoCilantro did as instructed.

The Poochyena calmly licked its lips, showing zero aggression—just gazing longingly.

"Wow, it's so obedient now!" she exclaimed.

"Of course it is! It's full! If you were starving every day, you'd be aggressive too! Feed it two more scoops—it's been malnourished for who knows how long."

Seeing its status change to [70% Full, Satisfied, Anxious], Ye Yinchuan sighed.

[If you don't scarf it down immediately, you might not eat again—who wouldn't be anxious?]

[This Poochyena is probably thinking: 'Is this my last meal before execution?']

"Listen up—feed it half a bowl per meal from now on. Adjust portions as it grows, especially if it evolves into Mightyena. Got it?"

"Got it! It's so gentle now—I can even hand-feed it!"

She was thrilled, unaware she had been the real problem all along.

"No more questions? Disconnecting."

[Streamer, you're the Poochyena's savior!]

[There are no naturally food-aggressive Pokémon—only food-aggressive owners!]

[Poochyena: 'How can I evolve on 50 grams a meal?!']

"Alright, folks—last live appraisal for today. Who's next?"
