Chapter 270 I Became a Professional Trainer! License Obtained! How to Make Slowpoke's Tail Taste Good?
Hot Cat is not afraid of Feathered Owl's long-range attacks, but that doesn't mean it has to keep passively taking hits.
Almost without warning, the Flame Bell on Hot Cat's neck suddenly blazed brightly, as if exploding, and a series of fireballs shot out like machine guns, aimed at the Feathered Owl in the sky.
"Get out of the way!"
The opposing trainer sensed something was wrong and let out a low growl.
The owl frantically dodged in the air, barely managing to keep up with the fireballs, which were fast, numerous, and quite large, with considerable power.
However, the Feathered Owl's attention was still focused on the little fireballs, and they didn't have time to pay attention to the Hot Cat.
Unbeknownst to them, the Hot Cat had already sprinted to its flank, and a huge fireball was spewing from its mouth, spinning and bombarding the Feathered Owl with the aid of the Flame Bell.
That fireball was too big; even if the Feathered Owl had reacted in time, it wouldn't have been able to completely dodge it...
Bang!
It was accompanied by a loud bang.
The enormous fireball collided with the Winged Owl, transforming into a dazzling shower of fireworks that filled the surrounding space. The Winged Owl was engulfed in the heatwave and stunned by the powerful energy, falling vertically at a ninety-degree angle...
With a loud splat, it was a truly horrific sight.
"Quick! Put out the fire!"
Seeing that Touhou was engulfed in flames and clearly unable to fight any longer, its trainer immediately called for help.
On Ye Yinchuan's side, Milotic's water flow was delivered to Touyu Owl almost the instant he spoke, extinguishing the flames and healing its injuries with Life Drops.
The owl could not rise again, but the wounds from the defeat were brought under control in time.
At this moment, the examiners present were shaken time and time again, to the point that when they looked at Ye Yinchuan's hot cat again, they were all numb.
"What's wrong with this Blaze Cat's flames? Even with the Blaze ability, shouldn't it only increase in intensity after sustaining a certain amount of injury?"
"And that movement just now, it takes extremely rich and seasoned combat experience to dodge attacks so effortlessly, right? But this Hot Cat is clearly still very young..."
These are the thoughts that most test takers might have in mind.
The discussion was even more heated in Ye Yinchuan's live broadcast room.
[Who says this hot cat is no good? This hot cat is fantastic!]
[Who just said that Hot Cat would be unruly even if it lost? Too bad it didn't lose!]
[It wasn't just not a loss, it was a complete annihilation!]
【Wait, how did the streamer raise this hot cat? I see it passing by the live stream every day, and sometimes it even interrupts the stream. I thought it was a cute pet, but it turns out to be a fierce one?】
The examiners looked at each other in bewilderment.
Ye Yinchuan was slightly embarrassed: Sang Biao, did we go a little too far?
Hot Cat, don't let its ordinary appearance fool you.
But in reality, besides its inherent S-rank individual stats, it also has a hidden attribute: an exceptionally high affinity for fire-type energy...
This results in Litten's Fire-type moves being exceptionally powerful, even more so than those with the Blaze ability.
Don't forget, before its evolution, Litten was called Litten.
In Ye Yinchuan's mind, besides "Sang Biao", it also has the title of "Master Madara", which is the Madara of Uchiha Madara who said "Do you want to dance too?"
To be honest, the "sparks" that Hot Cat just released gave off a feeling of "Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique" and "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".
Of course, it's just a rough prototype.
"Congratulations to candidate number 9528! You have successfully passed the practical exam with an outstanding record of three wins out of three. After discussion by our examiners, we have decided to grant you the qualification of a professional trainer. The license will be mailed to the address you provided within three to five business days after the completion of the exam. Please check your mail! Congratulations again, you are now a prospective professional trainer!"
Upon hearing the examiner's announcement, Ye Yinchuan felt a sense of disorientation.
Back when I first transmigrated, I was penniless. My little Snorlax couldn't even get enough to eat, let alone battles or becoming a professional trainer.
And now, in just about three months, I have made a qualitative leap and become a true professional trainer!
Although the license hasn't been obtained yet, it's practically a done deal.
"Thank you, examiners."
Ye Yinchuan had passed the exam, thanked them, and left.
The veteran trainers present watched Ye Yinchuan leave, their eyes filled with their own emotions.
"Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older."
An older examiner shook his head, feeling that his era had passed.
"The future of professional trainers still depends on these young people... It's been a long time since I've seen such a brilliant talent."
Some examiners were still savoring the power of Ye Yinchuan's Pokémon.
"If he carefully selected and bred all those Pokémon, then I can only say this kid is invincible. Actually, I'm quite curious about who's behind him. Is he a descendant of some Elite Four member? Or the heir to some conglomerate?"
Some people even sighed while looking at the data:
"Being a professional trainer isn't even his main job or goal... He's a streamer and an appraiser, which is incredible."
Even for these seasoned professional trainers, Ye Yinchuan is shrouded in too many mysteries and has many things that they find memorable.
"The professional trainer field is very complex. Although he started from a high point, there's a long road ahead, and who can predict what the future holds? Alright everyone, let's focus and prepare to welcome the next candidate. We're pressed for time and can't afford to waste too much time."
The examiner reminded everyone to return to their original jobs.
Meanwhile, Ye Yinchuan walked out of the examination hall feeling relaxed and full of vigor.
He was greeted by Bai Zhi, who had been watching closely throughout the entire process and was waiting outside the examination hall immediately.
"How does it feel to be a professional trainer?"
Bai Zhi asked jokingly, which was also a form of indirect congratulation.
Because she knew very well that Ye Yinchuan must be overjoyed at having passed his professional license exam.
"It feels great."
Looking at Bai Zhi, Ye Yinchuan felt that it was a wonderful thing to have someone to truly share his joy with.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Yinchuan greeted the fans in the live stream.
At this moment, the prevailing opinion in the live stream was that he was amazing, and that he had kept his talent hidden for so long. If he had such skill, why didn't he get a professional trainer's license sooner?
Ye Yinchuan thought to himself that his Pokémon didn't have this strength all along, but only recently, when the time was right and Munchlax evolved into Snorlax, did he gradually get the idea.
In short, I am now a professional trainer.
Ye Yinchuan also briefly mentioned to the audience that the content of the upcoming live broadcast might change, so that they could be mentally prepared.
The original Pokémon identification segment remains a regular part of the program.
In addition to this, there is a certain outdoor adventure component, as well as the identification of wild Pokémon.
[Yay! Just don't forget you're a treasure-hunting streamer!]
It's good to go out for a walk, but streamers should be careful to proceed gradually, especially regarding safety. I saw a streamer who went missing while broadcasting outdoors!
[I never thought I'd live to see a streamer go on an adventure himself! Are you going to change your name to Kirby's Adventures from now on?]
[You're worrying unnecessarily. Given the streamer's understanding of Pokémon and his composure, would he really risk losing a single hair on his head?]
Looking at the comments on the screen, Ye Yinchuan smiled and shook his head.
However, he should indeed consider what kind of wilderness area he should go to for his first outdoor live stream, and what the risks and benefits would be. Of course, as a streamer, he also has to consider the program's effect.
After all, now that I have the strength of my Pokémon and have obtained my trainer's license, I don't have to be too timid to go to those low-level wild areas.
In fact, Ye Yinchuan had a general idea in mind.
There are only a few ways to create a good show.
One method is to search for mythical creatures, which is sure to create a good entertainment effect. Every time a mythical creature appears in a live stream, it is invariably the time when the popularity and revenue are at their peak.
One method is to search for rare and unusual Pokémon.
Rare and uncommon can be understood in two ways: one is common Pokémon, but includes shiny, mutated, and other rare varieties...
Another appealing aspect is the existence of Pokémon that are uncommon or even undiscovered.
In a sense, legendary Pokémon are also rare and unusual.
Regardless, Ye Yinchuan has a natural advantage.
Because he can rely on his knowledge of Pokémon, and even follow the Pokédex, he has a much greater chance than ordinary trainers to find those Pokémon that are not yet known, and to let people know about them.
In addition, there are some issues with the program's effect.
For example, there are some overlaps between adventures, battles, and taming.
In the world of Pokémon, outdoor adventures revolve around Pokémon; Pokémon is an indispensable key element!
Ye Yinchuan came up with a good idea:
"Family, when I go on my outdoor livestream, if I come across any good Pokémon, how about I do a giveaway for my fans? But I'm worried you might not be able to handle them, so it's limited to baby Pokémon or Pokémon eggs, and I'll be selective about the types!"
After becoming a professional trainer, Ye Yinchuan has the legal right to trade and gift Pokémon, with a fixed monthly limit that can be increased through certain methods.
[Woqu, fan perks? Streamer, you finally remembered us?]
You must support yourself with both hands and feet!
[Godfather, is this true?]
Please, let's go outside right now!
Seeing the positive response from the audience, Ye Yinchuan believed that this was a viable option.
"Oh, right, there's something else I need to discuss with you. Didn't I pass the appraiser qualification exam before?"
My application for the product showcase has been approved, and with the professional trainer license, I can now add product links and sell products in my live stream. I might collaborate with some merchants; you guys shouldn't mind, right?
You can rest assured that all products featured in the live stream are guaranteed to be of high quality, and the prices will not be inflated.
[It's okay, streamer, you can hang up now, we definitely won't buy it.]
[That's fine, after all, the streamers do free appraisals. If no one sends gifts, they'll starve, right?]
Seeing this, Ye Yinchuan also decided to go back and negotiate with the merchants who had contacted him to see if he could get high-quality products that could truly benefit his fans.
I've heard that some livestreamers, under the guise of benefiting their fans and families, actually sell products in their livestreams at the highest prices, and the quality is also poor...
Ye Yinchuan would never do such a thing. Making money is fine, but at least do it in a more respectable way!
That evening, Ye Yinchuan and Bai Zhi also cooked together.
Don't get me wrong, I just stewed the Slowpoke tail that the Slowpoke zookeeper sent me.
Ye Yinchuan finally got to taste the flavor of Slowpoke's tail.
To avoid any misunderstanding, it needs to be emphasized that these Slowpoke tails all fell off normally. There was no abuse of Pokémon or direct use of materials from Pokémon.
Therefore, Ye Yinchuan and Bai Zhi felt perfectly justified in eating it.
According to the recipe I found online, there are many ways to make Slowpoke's tail.
The most authentic way to cook it is in a pressure cooker with scallions, ginger, garlic, and dried chili peppers. Season it with dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, salt, and rock sugar to give it color and a sweet and spicy flavor.
Looking at the Slowpoke tail in the bowl and the rich broth, Ye Yinchuan fell into deep thought.
Although dark soy sauce was added, giving it the color of braised pork, the original pink color of Slowpoke couldn't be completely masked. Also, because Slowpoke often eats fish and shrimp, its meat has a seafood-like flavor.
Ye Yinchuan took a small bite and was immediately amazed.
The outer skin has a texture very similar to pig's trotters, made of collagen, which is bouncy and firm, yet also very delicate, melting in your mouth.
In terms of taste, it is very delicious, with a sweet and spicy flavor and just the right amount of saltiness.
Beneath the skin is the Slowpoke's meat, stewed until very tender. The texture is different from the skin, but the taste is very similar, with an added meaty aroma.
Taking another sip of the soup, the flavor became even more intense, as if all the essence had been extracted into the broth.
That umami flavor went straight to the top of my head!
"It's delicious! You did a great job!"
Ye Yinchuan praised Bai Zhi's cooking skills highly.
The Pokémon also got to share in this rare delicacy.
Slowpoke's tail is a valuable food source.
However, Ye Yinchuan had done that tourist park a great favor last time, and the park director had personally instructed that they would send over more.
Next, Slowpoke's tail will surely be enough to eat.
Finally, Ye Yinchuan didn't forget to have Bai Zhi pack some things to take with her to her father, just to maintain their relationship.
Under such warm invitation, Bai Zhi did not refuse.
It became quite natural for the two to keep in touch, and their familiarity and friendship grew day by day.
A few days later.
Ye Yinchuan has obtained his professional trainer license and is showing off his skills to fans in a very cheerful way during his live stream.
The professional trainer's license looks like a metal card.
The front of the license has the applicant's identity information and a unique license number. Ye Yinchuan's number is 202505201314. When he received the license, Ye Yinchuan was also stunned for a moment.
His license number is also jokingly referred to by fans as being exclusive to those with a "love-struck" mind.
As you can see, the back of the metal card features images of several Pokémon registered by Ye Yinchuan, all pixelated images created using a special technique. These images will change whenever Ye Yinchuan's registration information is altered.
The metal card had a very good texture and even had colorful reflections, which made Ye Yinchuan feel overjoyed. This professional license was quite good even if it were just for collection.
Ye Yinchuan observed the details and could even see the outline of the hidden Poké Ball, which had a very Pokémon style.
[Wow! A Pro Trainer License! I dream of having one!]
What did I see on the card? Snorlax, Torchic, Owl... they're all there!
I'm so envious! When are you going to do a giveaway for fans?
Ye Yinchuan was also in high spirits. In the past few days, his fans have increased by tens of thousands, and he is about to break through 500,000 fans...
Next, I'll post a few more videos of fan giveaways and a live stream of outdoor adventures. I'm sure this will further boost my fan base!
"Family, enough chit-chat today, let's head straight to the jungle! I can give you some feedback on the way. Since I'm still a trainee streamer, I can't go to any high-level jungle areas, and for my first time, I've chosen a nearby one to test the waters..."
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan packed his things, went downstairs, and got into a private car he had hailed, heading towards the countryside.
Halfway there, Ye Yinchuan began his live-streamed appraisal.
"Found a Marill by the river? Be careful, this Marill is very hostile and has the Strongest ability. Your Machop strength might not be enough... Sigh, I told you so, but you wouldn't listen! Forget about Marill, get to the vet right now! Remember this: even the cutest wild Pokémon should be treated like a wild animal, otherwise you'll get hurt!"
"A maze-like nest was discovered underground, leading to the suspicion that some Pokémon is active nearby? Hmm... a Diglett? No, this nest's shape is even more complex than a Diglett's..."
This is probably the nest of the younger brother of the Earth Dragon. If you're lucky enough, you might even see one of these Pokémon...
There it is! Hurry! What a pity... the Earth Dragon is a very rare Pokémon. It's lucky to even see one, but catching one is extremely difficult!
There's nothing I can do about that. You can try walking around the area; you might just run into them!
As the identification proceeded, Ye Yinchuan arrived at the entrance to the target wilderness area.
The wild area before us is called "Painted Water Forest," characterized by its forests, streams, abundant vegetation, and beautiful scenery. It is home to a large number of Bug-type, Grass-type, and Water-type Pokémon...
Of course, there are other attributes as well, but the ones mentioned above are more common.
From a great distance, Ye Yinchuan saw the sign for "Huashui Forest," which meant that this wild area was relatively well-developed.
"Family members, the Water Forest is considered a relatively basic wild area. But there's no way around it; as a trainee trainer, I either have to wait or complete a sufficient number of tasks before I can be promoted to a full-fledged trainer!"
Ye Yinchuan's tone was also somewhat helpless.
With his Pokémon strength, he could challenge even those around level 30, let alone the really high-level ones. But rules are rules, and the League has its reasons for making such a rule!
As he spoke, he picked up the camera and walked towards the actual entrance.
