Chapter 257 Three Pokémon with the same traits? One with special abilities? You want to open an incubator?
"The professional trainer exam is extremely popular... so the number of applicants is even higher than the appraiser exam, but there is only one test center in each city."
"The professional examination is divided into two stages: a preliminary selection and a final selection. Only those who pass the preliminary selection are eligible to participate in the final selection."
When applying, you have to fill out a lot of information and prepare at least three Pokémon. One of your main battle Pokémon must be level 20 or higher, and the other two Pokémon must be level 15 or higher. With proper training, the higher the level, the better…
Looking at the relevant materials for the professional examination, Ye Yinchuan read on while sighing:
"That sounds pretty strict!"
The professional exam is arguably one of the most important exams in the Pokémon world.
It's not just about verifying your theoretical knowledge of Pokémon and testing your Pokémon training results; it also involves the most important practical aspect...
In any decent wilderness area, the entry requirements are basically limited to professional trainers. You could call it giving them special privileges, but it's more of a form of protection.
Because wild Pokémon are very dangerous, if you can't even meet the requirements to become a professional trainer, you'll be completely helpless if you encounter any unexpected situations.
Even professional trainers, and even some veterans in the industry, often suffer injuries or deaths in the wild, but the media rarely reports on it.
More likely, they'll die in some corner of the wilderness, devoured by a Pokémon, and only be discovered later, classified as missing persons in the wilderness...
On the other hand, professional trainers also represent a set of norms and limitations.
While enjoying privileges, they will also be subject to supervision from various entities such as the Pokémon Center and the League.
Professional trainers need to register all their Pokémon and update them regularly. There are also specific legal channels for trading Pokémon and bounties for commissioned tasks.
Each time they enter the wild, they bring out a record of how many Pokémon and Pokémon eggs they bring out.
For example, a novice professional trainer can bring out a maximum of five Pokémon and five Pokémon eggs from the wild each month. These can be legally traded and gifted through official channels, and a relatively high amount of tax must be paid.
After meeting certain conditions and leaving the novice period, the credit limit will increase to six.
Of course, if a professional trainer chooses not to sell their trainer but instead keeps and trains them, they will have a separate quota that is not shared with this tradable quota.
Basically, as long as it's reasonable, there are no restrictions.
After all, you're going to raise them, and no one will care how many you raise. Everyone's energy and resources are limited, and no one can raise that many.
However, if you raise them on a large scale for profit or other purposes, then if you are caught, I'm sorry, all the illegal Pokémon will be confiscated, you will be fined, and you might even go to jail!
Of course, being a proper professional trainer is already very appealing.
Assuming you bring back a maximum of six Pokémon and six eggs from the wild each month, even the most ordinary ones would be worth at least three thousand each, right?
That's an income of over 30,000 yuan a month, not including other things, such as collecting resources in the wild or completing a certain commission.
I won't go into details here.
In short, professional trainers are very well-off, and their financial resources and living conditions are much better than those of ordinary people.
As for the large amount of resources required for cultivation, and the risks of entering and leaving the wilderness, that depends on the individual.
It can be said that being a professional trainer is a profession because it is a job, or even a career...
Those who enjoy battling and raising powerful Pokémon can shine in their beloved fields, instead of being idle and causing trouble. In short, it is beneficial to public order and stability.
Do you enjoy experimenting and battling?
Great! Then become a professional trainer and go to the wild! You can also contribute to human exploration of the wild, discover new Pokémon and resources, report the situation in time, and receive rewards and honors!
As mentioned earlier, professional trainers are equivalent to civil servants in the Pokémon world.
Once you become a professional trainer, you can receive a subsidy every month.
Having the identity of a professional trainer, even if you don't go to dangerous wild areas, working in Pokémon-related fields is like having a passport, allowing you to thrive.
Not to mention, professional trainers enjoy high social status and preferential treatment.
With such great benefits, such attractive treatment, and the overall atmosphere of the world, even a tiny kid would be inspired to become a professional trainer when they grow up...
The result can be summed up in one word: scramble!
Just like taking the civil service exam before time travel, it was like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge!
If the number of professional trainers needs to be controlled, then the standards for professional trainers are constantly being raised...
The earliest professional trainers relied on the strength of their Pokémon to speak for themselves.
Although skill level now accounts for a large proportion of the evaluation, there are also theoretical written tests, interviews, and various psychological tests.
Looking at these materials, it would be impossible for Ye Yinchuan not to feel any anticipation.
But he knew very well that what he really needed was the identity of a trainer to enhance his identity as a streamer, and the key to unlocking the outdoor adventure live streaming track.
Of course, his Pokémon were tortured by the "Shadow of the Overlord" every now and then. Although their strength increased rapidly, they had no opportunity to use it, which was somewhat like wearing fine clothes in the dark.
Whether it's professional exams or upcoming outdoor live streams, it's time for them to step up and shine.
Ye Yinchuan looked at the Pokémon lying carefree on the ground, resting or playing, and revealed a meaningful smile:
"You should know that none of your Pokémon food was eaten for free!"
Seemingly sensing Ye Yinchuan's gaze, the little Snorlax struggled to raise its upper body and gave Ye Yinchuan a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile.
The owl resting on its belly also blinked its eyes.
Only the hot cat sensed the malice emanating from the human and responded with a wary gaze.
I studied it for a while.
Ye Yinchuan had a general understanding of the professional examination process.
"In the next couple of days, we can start preparing the registration materials. Once Munchlax evolves, we'll take the Pokémon to the Pokémon Center to register. This way, the Pokémon Center and the professional exam can synchronize data, saving us a registration fee and a lot of time."
Ye Yinchuan plans to implement it step by step. After all, the professional exam is very strict and the process is very complicated. Even just the exam content alone takes nearly half a month to complete!
If we don't start preparing now, I really don't know when we'll get around to it.
Ye Yinchuan, a streamer with over 400,000 followers, is considered a big internet celebrity. He has now become accustomed to the mindset of chasing traffic, and immediately posted a short video.
The video shows my Pokémon at home lazily lounging by the French windows, sunbathing. The title is—
[Family, I'm planning to take the professional trainer license exam this month. Do you think this number of Pokémon is good enough?]
Soon, Ye Yinchuan's phone started ringing incessantly with comments from his fans.
[Really? Kirby is planning to become a professional trainer?]
Didn't I just take the appraiser qualification exam at the beginning of this month?
[The babies are so cute! But streamers don't seem to do much PvP, right? Are they even capable of playing?]
I feel like the streamer is definitely hiding something. I'm a long-time fan, and his Togepi is definitely not simple... Putting aside the shiny color, how long has it been since it hatched into a Woody Owl and is now a Togepi?
I have every reason to suspect that he undergoes rigorous training every day after his broadcasts; otherwise, there's no reason for him to improve so quickly! I just have no proof!
[Upstairs, you're exaggerating! Do you really think streamers are all-rounders? Don't they need rest? He streams so much content every day, he must spend time learning and improving, right? Where would he find the time to train? I think he's just posting for fun!]
Seeing the heated discussion among fans in the comments section, Ye Yinchuan personally stepped in to reply:
[You'll definitely need to take the trainer certification exam, so don't worry everyone. Registration will be open in the next couple of days! There will probably be a live stream, so stay tuned!]
The Pokémon World Appraiser Qualification Exam can be streamed live.
As a popular professional trainer exam, it goes without saying that...
Just do it! Let's get this done!
That's how livestreamers and internet celebrities are; they post updates about every little thing.
The professional trainer exam is such a big event, it's reasonable to hype it up a bit, right?
The broadcast started promptly at 2 PM.
Before the broadcast, Ye Yinchuan was quite looking forward to it.
Because my reputation level in the system is about to be upgraded, which means that I will soon gain new exclusive abilities!
Each of the unique abilities he has acquired so far has a practical use in its corresponding field and has brought great help to Ye Yinchuan.
I wonder what the new exclusive ability will be; it's hard not to be excited!
However, Ye Yinchuan tried to remain calm, because he couldn't imagine what else might come with abilities more powerful than his current ones.
To avoid the situation where higher expectations lead to greater disappointment, it might be more comfortable to lower your expectations beforehand.
"Everyone, you're all here! Those who want to connect for authentication, come on over, let's start with a batch!"
Ye Yinchuan decided to start with a random appraisal to warm things up.
"Alright, Haoli, right? Worried about scaring the audience? No problem, just bring it on! Our viewers are all incredibly resilient!"
"Oh my god! Those red lines on your arm are bleeding and oozing pus... And you're asking me what's wrong? Move the camera away, you should go to the hospital right away!"
I reckon your Macho's injury is from overtraining, which tore your muscle, and now it's infected... Even if I told you, you still need to go to the hospital! If you don't go soon, your Macho might have to be amputated! Okay, next one!"
[It's been a long time since we've seen this kind of cunning streamer. Do they really think the streamer is a cure-all?]
[Tsk tsk, thank goodness I wasn't eating, this wound is disgusting...]
"You mean your Sunflower's belly is unusually big, and you suspect it's pregnant? You're overthinking it. Sunflower is a Grass-type Pokémon; it doesn't get pregnant like humans. What? You feel movement inside, like a baby kicking?"
Come on, let me see… Oops, you Sunflower, there's something wrong with you! Have you ever heard of tissue displacement? It's when normal tissue develops in an abnormal location… It probably happens when something goes wrong during the development of a Pokémon egg…
Let's put it this way, your sunflower monster might have some kind of tissue growing inside its belly, and it's even movable...
If I put it this way, you might understand better. There was a news story a while ago about someone growing a tooth in their nose, right?
That's tissue displacement, because teeth normally only grow in the mouth, on the gums. Growing in the nose, or even elsewhere, means the location is abnormal!
[The world is truly full of wonders! They even have Pokémon like this?]
[Thank goodness it's just Pokémon; if this happened to a human, it would be terrifying!]
[Upstairs, you weren't paying attention at all! The host said that people can have it too!]
In fact, Ye Yinchuan saw a more specific and convincing picture through the control panel.
That is, this sunflower monster does indeed have the characteristic of "organ displacement", and it has a leg growing in its belly. The nerves of that leg are connected to the nerves of the sunflower monster's other leg. Whenever the sunflower monster's leg moves, the leg in its belly will also move.
This trait is pretty useless and has side effects. It causes sunflower monsters abdominal pain and malnutrition, and if the hind leg develops, it might even cause internal bleeding...
Therefore, since it's a tumor, it can be removed directly, Ye Yinchuan suggested he go to the hospital.
What's going on today? Something feels really unlucky. One person is bleeding and oozing pus, and the other has something growing in their stomach…
[Coincidence, right? Haha, what's the big deal? I watch live streams every day, what kind of weirdos haven't I seen?]
"A flower growing on the head of your Lotad? Interesting. This Lotad must be mutated; it could be renamed Lotus Child. Its control over Grass-type energy is superior to that of a regular Lotad, and it carries the Egg Move 'Energy Ball.' Given time, mastering 'Solar Beam' shouldn't be a problem. Its IVs are also good; aim for B rank or higher."
Wait a minute? So the Lotus Leaf Plum doesn't have a duck's beak after all? And that yellowish thing, could it be its upper lip?
At this moment, some viewers in the live chat noticed the blind spot.
Ye Yinchuan also took a closer look and discovered the situation mentioned in the comments.
In my imagination, the mouth of the Lotus Leaf Child is like a duck's bill, opening from the middle.
But actually, the duckbill above looks like lips, and the mouth opens below the "duckbill".
Combining this with Lobey's evolution into Lobeyka, it seems to make sense; the yellow duckbill part evolves into a red, irregular upper lip.
But if you look at the Lucky Kappa, which is the evolved form of the Hooded Child, it seems to have turned into a duck's beak again.
"Could it be that the three evolution forms of this Pokémon weren't designed by the same person?"
Ye Yinchuan not only has a wildly imaginative mind.
After all, many Pokémon evolutions were added later, so this possibility is quite high. Perhaps the person who designed Ludicolo didn't even notice the design details of Lotad.
Of course, the possibility that it was designed this way intentionally cannot be ruled out.
To be honest, this knowledge is too obscure...
Even Ye Yinchuan, who possessed the True Knowledge Compendium, wouldn't have realized it without deliberately observing and thinking about it!
After the live stream ended, Ye Yinchuan, as usual, began selecting his viewers to improve the quality of the broadcast and the program's impact.
@AhQin:
[Host, I've always had a question for you: why are the Pokémon my brother hatched so similar to him? Not just their personalities, but even their appearances are very similar. And it's not a coincidence; all three of his Pokémon look almost exactly like him. Host, could you help me figure out why?]
Ye Yinchuan was stunned for a moment when he saw this comment.
There's some truth to the idea that Pokémon have similar personalities. Like attracts like, and Pokémon are more or less influenced by their owners, becoming similar in various aspects of their lives…
However, they all look very similar, and there's more than one...
That's a bit outrageous. Pokémon aren't real people, and they don't look alike like couples or spouses.
Just to clarify, it's said that frequent kissing can lead to the exchange of bacteria and other microbiome, causing two people to look more and more alike, which is what's known as "couple resemblance."
Although there is no particularly detailed and specific scientific evidence, it seems that many couples and lovers do look very alike, as if they were made from the same mold, except that they are different genders.
Of course, Ye Yinchuan would also think that it might be survivor bias.
In other words, people don't pay attention to those who don't look alike, but they do talk about those who do.
Another possibility is that people subconsciously admire those similar to themselves?
But no matter what, there's no reason why humans and Pokémon should look alike!
Ye Yinchuan became interested.
Meanwhile, the comments section was buzzing with discussion about it.
Wait a minute, your brother wouldn't...? That can't be, it shouldn't be like that, right?
[What are you trying to say upstairs? Is it what I'm thinking?]
[You're not just imagining things, are you? There's a significant difference between Pokémon and humans.]
"You're the one."
This is one of the few times Ye Yinchuan chose to connect with Pokémon not because of a specific Pokémon, but because of some phenomenon that occurred between Pokémon and humans.
[You have approved user "Ah Qin's" connection request!]
[Connection successful!]
"It's connected! It's connected! Bro, hurry up and bring your Pokémon over!"
The girl in the video call was quite excited about being able to connect with Ye Yinchuan.
"Here it comes, here it comes."
A nonchalant, somewhat helpless male voice came from the other end; it must be the person on the other end of the line's brother.
"Host, I've been curious about this for a while now. My brother is being stubborn and insists it's not true, saying his Pokémon doesn't look like him. Then he said that if it really is connected, he'll let you and everyone else judge for us. You have to be honest and help me take a good look!"
Seeing how lively the girl was, Ye Yinchuan smiled and said:
"no problem."
He secretly wondered what it was like to have a sister like that.
Soon, the person who connected with the camera appeared in the room with his three Pokémon.
When Ye Yinchuan saw this guy and his three Pokémon, he was stunned for a moment.
And the comments section was flooded with messages—
[If you didn't know better, you'd think these three Pokémon were your brother's siblings!]
[666, this is the first time I've seen a Pichu like this, and a Pikachu too. Is the other one Aipom? They all look so uniform!]
[Are you sure this wasn't a staged performance for the show? I'm stunned!]
"Cough cough..."
Ye Yinchuan cleared his throat, feeling incredulous while searching for the reason.
The current situation is that the Link's brother and the three Pokémon have too many similarities.
First of all, the opponent's three Pokémon are Pichu, Pikachu, and Aipom.
And these three Pokémon all have... bangs?
Although Pokémon have individual differences, some Pokémon come with their own hairstyles and bangs, and some people even deliberately comb their fur to create different looks, like their own Touhou, which was styled to resemble Kotori's hairstyle...
However, it is rare to see something so neat and uniform.
For a fleeting moment, Ye Yinchuan wondered if the liaison had deliberately created the Pokémon designs to tease him.
But if you look closely, these three Pokémon aren't just similar to the guy in the LAN; their eye shape, gaze, demeanor, and even eye color are exactly the same as the guys the LAN is talking about...
This is a bit outrageous, and it's not a coincidence; it can be explained.
Soon, Ye Yinchuan noticed some details on the panels of these Pokémon.
He was immediately surprised, but upon closer inspection, he suddenly realized what was going on. However, he quickly concealed his surprise, not wanting to make it too obvious.
All three Pokémon had the same trait displayed on their stats!
[Trait: Incubator]
This Pokémon was hatched by a human with the special ability "Hatcher". During the hatching process, it was influenced by the human's ability and became very similar to the user, including in appearance and personality...
Pokémon possessing this trait will have a closer bond and greater understanding with their esper, and their growth rate will be faster. Furthermore, the Pokémon's leveling up will contribute more of its energy back to the esper!
Clearly, this trait is not because Pokémon are special, but rather it refers to humans with special abilities!
This was the first time Ye Yinchuan had encountered such a situation, and he didn't know whether to be pleasantly surprised or taken aback.
"The one who hatched it? A special ability user? Wait a minute... isn't that the ability of Ging, one of the main characters in the Pokémon special?"
Ye Yinchuan suddenly remembered something.
"How old are you? Are you still students? Your brother, are you interested in becoming a professional trainer?"
Having discovered the young man's potential, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but ask him more questions.
"Ah, we've just turned 18, we're still students. My brother doesn't want to be a professional Pokémon Trainer, but he wants to start a Pokémon hatchery, specializing in hatching Pokémon for other people... My brother especially loves hatching Pokémon, he loves walking around carrying eggs!"
Upon hearing the other party's statement, Ye Yinchuan fell silent.
"What if I said your judgment was correct, and the Pokémon your brother hatches will inevitably resemble him? Would he still persist in this dream? Or rather, can your brother's hatchery really stay open?"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but imagine that this guy had opened an egg-hatching house, and the eggs that hatched all looked a lot like him, even having the same bangs or something. The scene would be too beautiful!
The key point is, which Pokémon owner likes their Pokémon to look like someone else's?
After all, Pokémon are very close companions, even family members. This hugging and cuddling, and the Pokémon looking remarkably like someone... does that seem appropriate? It's a bit awkward, isn't it?
Ye Yinchuan believes that the vast majority of people would find it difficult to accept!
