Chapter 360 Ghostly Faces and Figures in the Crystal Cave... A New Legendary Pokémon Appears! The Lost Mask!
"Excellent, excellent, truly top-notch."
Ye Yinchuan was very satisfied when he checked the panel of the Crystal Sprout again.
Shiny color, S-rank individual, comes with advanced egg moves... This combination is simply wonderful.
When Ye Yinchuan revealed the information about this crystal bud to the audience, the audience was amazed and full of envy.
[This is absolutely outrageous! Why don't you just collect all the best Pokémon in the world by yourself?!]
That's right, with a Pokémon like this, you could just pick any lucky viewer, train it, and they could become a trainer—it's practically a given!
[That's not entirely true. If I were the streamer, I'd be a hundred times more outrageous than him... I'd catch every Pikachu that passed by!]
"Actually, this Crystal Sprout has another very impressive feature."
Ye Yinchuan's lips curled into a smile as he shared his joy with the audience, as if recounting a cherished memory.
"That's its characteristic, the rare 'Corrosion' ability! Pokémon with this ability have much stronger Poison-type abilities, especially against Steel-type Pokémon with tough bodies, where ordinary toxins have difficulty penetrating and taking effect..."
However, if it possesses the property of "corrosion," it can destroy the steel on their surface, allowing the poisonous energy to penetrate better and take effect!
[Wow! This ability perfectly solves the weakness of Poison-type Pokémon being unable to deal with Steel-type Pokémon!]
[Damn, just hearing the streamer say that makes me so hungry I could cry!]
[If I remember correctly, the move Sludge Wave is a powerful Poison-type move that only advanced Poison-type ...
"That's right, the power of the Sludge Wave is as high as 90 points. It is also a beam attack, so it can perform very well in both one-on-one battles and team battles."
Ye Yinchuan was also quite candid about it and even discussed the identification methods.
"To determine if a Pokémon has mastered the move 'Sludge Wave,' observe the organs on its body that emit light. Look for signs of poison-type energy swirling around them, following a specific trajectory, such as a figure-eight pattern."
Ye Yinchuan wasn't making this up; he obtained Pokémon information by consuming Influence Points through the "True Knowledge Pokédex."
Although he often fooled the audience, he also delivered plenty of genuine, valuable content.
[Thanks, I've learned some useless knowledge again!]
[Now that we have the identification method, where can we get a Pokémon with the Sludge Wave egg move?]
[Host, let me ask you this: If a newly hatched Pokémon used Sludge Wave on me, what would happen to me?]
In response to the last comment, Ye Yinchuan replied:
"The Sludge Wave, a poison-attribute beam attack, penetrates much more efficiently than regular poison-type moves. If you're in the city, have an antidote on hand, and get to the hospital in time, you should be able to avoid dying outside the hospital..."
Okay, okay, that's very dangerous.
[So you died in the hospital?]
This is hilarious! A move this powerful needs to be registered!
[Host, why aren't you afraid?]
Ye Yinchuan's lips curled into a slight smile as he answered the questions from the live chat.
Fear? What is he afraid of?
Not to mention that Milotic was right there as a healer, and his own physical abilities, influenced by the feedback from the Shadow of the Overlord, were extraordinary...
The mere fact that he has the natural affinity with Pokémon brought by the Heavenly Hands is enough to protect him from attacks.
"Don't forget that when Pokémon hatchlings hatch, they will regard the first thing they see as something like their parents and will have a natural affinity for it."
[Understood. Newly hatched chicks are safer; young chicks are actually more dangerous.]
Yes, and also, just don't scare the Pokémon. Otherwise, there shouldn't be any problems.
As Ye Yinchuan said, newly hatched Pokémon tend to have a stronger affinity for the first thing they see. Therefore, capturing this Crystal Sprout was a piece of cake for him. The rest was left to his other Pokémon to take good care of this newcomer and help it integrate.
This is the advantage of being a seasoned trainer; having already raised several Pokémon with high loyalty and affinity, especially those with good personalities, the Pokémon will naturally bond with each other even without the trainer doing much...
Because Pokémon are relatively simple-minded, they don't cause much trouble. The only ones that can be described as "evil" are probably Dark-type Pokémon like Deino, but Incineroar and the others are always keeping an eye on them.
Even though they are both Dark-type Pokémon, they are quite different, even without considering individual differences.
"Alright, everyone, that's all for today's live stream..."
After introducing the situation of this Crystal Sprout, Ye Yinchuan planned to end the live stream and leave the wilderness to rest.
However, halfway through his sentence, Ye Yinchuan saw a strange figure appear in his field of vision.
At the same time Ye Yinchuan saw it, the audience naturally saw it as well, and instantly, the previously lively live stream chat erupted in a frenzy of comments—
[Holy crap! Streamer, don't end the stream yet, there's something dirty here!]
[That huge face, that shape... it definitely doesn't look like a Pokémon, and it doesn't look like a human either!]
[You scared me! Streamer, can you give me some money back?]
[Is it finally going to appear? Early features of Snorlax's Pokémon Detective livestream, including all sorts of dirty stuff and ghost Pokémon!]
Besides the audience, Ye Yinchuan's Pokémon also noticed the huge ghost face hiding in the shadows in a distant corner, staring menacingly at Ye Yinchuan. Even these Pokémon felt a little scared.
Ye Yinchuan also scrutinized the figure, noticing that its head was enormous, somewhat disproportionate to its body, resembling a giant-headed man.
Its feet looked like they were wearing wooden clogs, and its "ghost face," or rather its "head," was blue-faced and had fangs, making it extremely terrifying and ferocious. It was nothing like any common Pokémon, and if it were a human, it would be even stranger.
Ye Yinchuan showed a slight look of surprise, and even a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Because of his discerning eye, he had determined that the creature in front of him was not a ghost or monster, but a genuine Pokémon.
"So it was you... Just how many surprises are still hidden in this Crystal Forest that I haven't discovered yet?"
Ye Yinchuan muttered to himself, his excitement barely concealed.
If all of this is true, it means that two legendary Pokémon have appeared in this Scenic Forest!
The former is Zoroark, a mythical Pokémon.
The latter is the mysterious Pokémon lurking in the dark corner, unwilling to fully reveal itself!
"Brothers, the live stream will probably have to continue today! Because a tough character is coming!"
Ye Yinchuan spoke to the audience, and stared intently at the Pokémon.
[Oh no, the streamer has gone crazy! When he sees something strange, his first reaction isn't fear, but excitement!]
Good grief, it's probably some rare Pokémon again!
[I got so excited for nothing! I thought it would be thrilling and exciting, but this is all?]
The audience's initial tension dissipated considerably, because Ye Yinchuan, the protagonist of the event and the anchor, was not afraid at all. Moreover, judging from his appearance, he clearly had a considerable understanding and confidence in this Pokémon!
But what followed was an even stronger sense of curiosity.
When something is mysterious, people will be curious and eager to find the truth and the answer, but only if they have the opportunity to find it.
For these viewers, the answer and the truth lie with Ye Yinchuan, something they will soon discover...
This feeling of being both far away and yet so close is the most irresistible!
[Host, if you know anything, just say it! Don't keep me in suspense!]
[Exactly! If you keep dragging your feet, I'll unfollow!]
Ye Yinchuan remained calm despite seeing these comments; he decided to lay the groundwork first:
"It's quite a coincidence that this Pokémon is one I've seen mentioned in my old book. It's a legendary Pokémon that once appeared in the Padia region."
Wow! A legendary Pokémon? Does that mean a mythical Pokémon?
[It's the Parthian region again. If such an ancient region really existed, there must be some historical record of it, right?]
[I'm impressed! With so many ancient books at home, why can't the streamer make large-scale replicas and share them?]
Who exactly are you? State your name!
"Let me put it this way: these Pokémon were once called terrifying demons by the ancients because of their appearance. They look like evil demons with blue faces and fangs. There are some legends about these Pokémon, which I can tell you later if you are interested. As for whether these Pokémon are considered legendary, I don't know, but at least I can confirm that it is at least on par with Zoroark."
Without further ado, Ye Yinchuan decided to keep them in suspense.
"Its name is Egui Pong."
【A demon...huh?】
[This doesn't sound like a good Pokémon. Is it a Dark-type?]
Ye Yinchuan also knew that the name E Guipeng contained some rare characters, so he chose to type them out directly to tell the audience exactly which characters they were.
【A bizarre and unpredictable event...】
"As for whether they can be considered legendary Pokémon, I can't say for sure, but what is certain is that they are extremely rare legendary Pokémon, basically existing only in legends and stories, and very few people have ever seen them."
In fact, according to the official setting, Ursaring is a legendary Pokémon, and its status is roughly equivalent to a second-tier legendary Pokémon.
However, players have mixed opinions about Urshifu's status as a "legendary Pokémon." For example, Urshifu is also a legendary Pokémon, but whether it can be considered a "legendary Pokémon" is hard to say.
Of course, according to the official setting, Zoroark doesn't even qualify as a Mythical Pokémon, so delving into this is actually not very meaningful.
In this world, we still have to look at the specific performance.
For example, the panel that Ye Yinchuan obtained with his discerning eye can reveal some things.
Masked Pokémon: Urgot
[Level: 50]
[Attribute: Grass]
[Gender: Female]
[Racial stats: S-rank (550)]
Individual Value: S-rank (200)
【Characteristic: Never Give Up】
[Personality: Mischievous]
[Skills: Vine Whip, Parasitic Seed, Quick Attack, Watch Me, Focus, Growth, Slam, Low Kick, Thorn Stick, Abyss Thrust, Photosynthesis, Spiked Defense]
[Status: Curious]
Evolutionary path: None
Trait: Mask Lost
[The Evil Creeper has lost its three masks and some memories, thus weakening its power. If it can retrieve the masks, it will unleash incredible power!]
Looking at the panel of the Egui Pong, Ye Yinchuan seemed to be deep in thought, as there were many things worth noting on it.
Level 50 is really lame for a "divine beast," it's only about the same level as the Meloetta I've encountered before...
As for females, there's not much to say. According to the official setting, the Evil Spirits are only female.
With a base stat total of 550, it aligns with the original lore. For a "legendary" Pokémon, it's admittedly a bit low, but for a legendary Pokémon, it's reasonable...
Compared to the three legendary beasts, the three legendary birds, and even Ho-Oh and Lugia, its base stats are a complete disaster.
With its S-rank individual values, it was almost the pinnacle of any natural Pokémon that Ye Yinchuan had ever seen.
What's most noteworthy is its trait of "missing masks." Judging from this, this Evil Spirit should have originally possessed four masks, and its original strength was much greater than it is now.
Therefore, all the information mentioned above may be overturned after Egui Peng retrieves the lost mask.
Perhaps, the Evil Spirit who has collected all four masks is the true "divine beast"!
Just as Ye Yinchuan was observing the Egui Peng, the Egui Peng was also staring at Ye Yinchuan. It tilted its neck, revealing a strange and ferocious smile on its mask that resembled a demon, and rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed.
Ye Yinchuan's Pokémon, though startled, quickly recovered and, while protecting Ye Yinchuan, prepared to attack the unknown Pokémon that had suddenly attacked...
"Wait, it means no harm."
Ye Yinchuan stopped his Pokémon to avoid a conflict with Urquid. He was confident, as he was certain through the panel that Urquid had no ill intentions towards him, but rather intended to play a prank on him, that is, to scare him.
From this perspective, Egui Peng and Feng Yaojing should have some common ground.
The speed of the Egui Pong is extremely fast, and its level is 50. The so-called "inferior" only refers to its comparison with those true divine beasts; in reality, it is still very strong...
Therefore, even when facing Ye Yinchuan's numerous and powerful Pokémon, it showed no fear whatsoever.
After rushing up, Erguipeng tilted its head and sized up Ye Yinchuan and his Pokémon.
At this moment, the form of the Evil Creeper was completely exposed to the light of the Sun Rock, allowing people to see clearly what its mask looked like. It turned out that the mask was not so terrifying at all; on the contrary, because it was inlaid with gemstones, it had an indescribable gorgeousness and artistic beauty...
Wow...this Pokémon is actually quite beautiful, don't you guys think so?
[It looks so strange, could it really be another Pokémon we don't know about?]
[This color is so green, and there are even green sprouts on the feet, it must be a grass-based color!]
Is that a cape it's wearing? Its feet and overall design seem strangely similar to those of a sniper owl.
The audience was abuzz with discussion about the strange and mysterious events.
Ye Yinchuan was also looking at the Egui Pong, trying to communicate with it.
If we could have the chance to subdue it... that would be even better.
It's important to know that, so far, Ye Yinchuan has only caught two Zoroas, Little Avatar and Little Drunkard, and has never caught a true Mythical or Legendary Pokémon...
In fact, according to the official setting, Zoroah doesn't count as either of those two things!
