Chapter 299 Agate Jellyfish Running on the Ground? Wrong! This is a Wild Jellyfish! Evolutionary Speculation on the Motor Lizard!
The Pokémon in front of me looks strangely funny.
It has a large head, or rather a body, supported only by two thin, tentacle-like legs.
Because he has no eyebrows and his eyes look lifeless, he always gives off the impression of a middle-aged man who doesn't seem like a good person.
Especially since this guy's skin is flesh-colored, it looks even more like a human.
As we all know, things that are somewhat like humans but not quite are often synonymous with the bizarre or ugly.
Adding a yellow spot on its forehead further enhances its "little rascal" charm...
In addition, the larger yellow spots on the sides of its head make its appearance even more indescribable.
However, the Pokémon in front of us sounds strange, but at first glance, it reminds one of a common water-type Pokémon—
Agate jellyfish!
However, it is clear that the agate jellyfish is not suited to living on land, and the agate jellyfish is entirely blue with three red agate-like crystals on its body, rather than flat yellow round spots...
They look very similar, but they are absolutely different Pokémon!
Ye Yinchuan, who possessed the Pokédex, naturally knew what kind of Pokémon this was. The thought of how people in this world didn't understand this Pokémon and were making a fuss about it made him want to laugh.
[What's with the streamer's smile?]
[So you know what Pokémon this is?]
Seeing that the audience had noticed, Ye Yinchuan coughed twice and regained his composure.
"Of course, I thought this kind of Pokémon was extinct. I didn't expect to see it here."
You might think this is a subspecies of the agate jellyfish, or a mutation... but I'm telling you, you're wrong, completely wrong!
The name of this Pokémon is Wild Jellyfish!
Were we wrong again?
Don't think I won't recognize you just because you changed your name; you're a relative of the agate jellyfish!
[No, the agate jellyfish really did come ashore?]
"The 'wild jellyfish' and the 'agate jellyfish' are completely different species. Although its name includes the word 'jellyfish,' it actually belongs to the fungi family... wood ear mushrooms! You can think of it as a type of mushroom... while the agate jellyfish is a proper jellyfish!"
【Huh? You're telling me this is a mushroom?】
So this is a Grass type?
[Where did the streamer get his Pokémon knowledge from? Is it that wild?]
Ye Yinchuan didn't explain much, since the style and reputation of the live stream had already stabilized.
There's a saying that goes, "Great scholars will always be there to debate the classics for me!"
"Jellyfish in the wild generally live in humid forest areas, and this place is near a forest and close to a lake, which meets the requirements."
This Pokémon is a Grass-type and also a Ground-type.
Ye Yinchuan had some doubts. Although the wild jellyfish and the agate jellyfish are theoretically completely different species, their racial stats and evolutionary levels are exactly the same.
This is probably a new lazy trick by the cunning Pokémon designers.
[I don't quite understand Grass-type either... but how did you figure out Ground-type?]
In response to questions from viewers in the live chat, Ye Yinchuan stated:
"Well then, watch closely... Friendly reminder: jellyfish in the wild run very fast, so don't be scared!"
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan commanded the Feathered Owl to launch a harmless attack on the Wild Jellyfish. The Feathered Owl plucked a clump of grass from the ground, infused it with grass-type energy, and the previously limp grass stood up with a thud...
[If the feathered owl has this ability, then I'm saved!]
[Hey upstairs, do you think you're Nezha? You're just a lotus root!]
Whizzing!
The owl flapped its wings and launched the tuft of grass, which hit the jellyfish on the head.
The jellyfish, somewhat dazed but not quite conscious after being hit, turned its head and made a series of gibberish sounds, probably hurling some pretty nasty insults.
Immediately afterwards, the Wild Jellyfish used its foot-like tentacle to dig up the soil on the ground, and gathered ground-type energy to throw it at the Feathered Owl.
And the next moment, it took off running.
The Wild Jellyfish isn't particularly strong, especially this one, which is low-level and timid. If it encountered Ye Yinchuan's Pokémon lineup, anyone with a brain would definitely run away...
Therefore, this was within Ye Yinchuan's expectations.
[A Ground-type move? It really is!]
[I can't believe it! I thought seeing a jellyfish walk was incredible, but I never imagined I'd see one run!]
[That feels so creepy...]
[The streamer already said it's wood ear fungus!]
Something seems to have fallen off it; did it poop out of fright?
The comments section was filled with amazement at the jellyfish in the field.
As for the attacks from the jellyfish, they were easily parried by the wing flapping of the feathered owl.
Wild jellyfish can run at speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to the speed of a small car. Although it is not particularly fast, it is still a whoosh.
Ye Yinchuan had no intention of pursuing or keeping him.
He simply walked up, picked up the things that had fallen off the jellyfish, rinsed them in the water, and then put them in his mouth and began to chew.
[Hey streamer, what are you doing?]
The streamer I follow is willing to eat shit!
【666! 】
Seeing the comments, Ye Yinchuan almost choked. He took a moment to catch his breath, chewed the delicious food in his mouth, and then swallowed.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This isn't poop, it's a thin flake that shed from a jellyfish... it's fungus, it's wood ear fungus!"
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan picked up another piece and placed it in front of the camera so that the audience could take a good look.
This thing has the same color as a wild jellyfish, looking a bit like yellow skin, but it's very translucent, especially after it's been in water, it has a very crystal clear and moist feel.
Ye Yinchuan put it in his mouth again, chewed it vigorously, and recorded the sound:
"Did you hear that? Crunchy! This thing is chewy and incredibly delicious! It even surpasses seafood in flavor! The finest delicacies of the mountains and seas can't compare!"
[Host, stop making excuses, this stuff is made of yellow ochre...]
[Got it, the jellyfish poop in the wild is really chewy!]
"no?"
Ye Yinchuan looked at the comments and knew he didn't need to say anything more. These people were just taking the opportunity to tease him!
He didn't mind, he just enjoyed the deliciousness in his mouth and the sensation on his teeth and tongue.
The thin slices of wild jellyfish, though not seafood, have a jellyfish flavor. One bite is incredibly crisp and juicy...
The umami flavor is that of mushrooms, probably because it's rich in minerals, so it has a slight saltiness, followed by a sweet aftertaste...
No seasoning is needed; it's a natural delicacy!
Seeing Ye Yinchuan enjoying his meal, his greedy Pokémon began searching the ground and, sure enough, found some thin pieces that had fallen off from the wild jellyfish...
Everyone was enjoying themselves.
[Shocking! A well-known Pokémon trainer streamer was actually taking his Pokémon to the wild to find and eat this!]
[6...Speaking of which, doesn't this lake water contain heavy metals? Won't it affect the streamer's health if he eats it?]
You know what, looking at this makes me a little hungry...
Wait a minute, why does that thing that Munchlax is holding look so sticky?
"Kirby, stop! That's the real thing, you can't eat it!"
Fortunately, Ye Yinchuan was paying close attention to the comments and stopped Snorlax's criminal behavior in time.
Although the poop of a fungal Pokémon is probably not poop in the traditional sense, let's leave it for wild Pokémon that really need it!
Wait a minute, if this stuff that sheds from wild jellyfish is so delicious, could we farm a batch of them and collect these flakes specifically for sale?
[Upstairs, are you a business genius too?]
I think I know why jellyfish are so rare these days. Maybe they were so delicious that people ate them to extinction?
[Actually, I have a bold idea: what do you think of making a seafood platter with wild jellyfish and agate jellyfish?]
Ye Yinchuan stared in disbelief at the comments on the screen.
That's why everyone in the live stream is so talented and speaks so well.
This ingenious idea for getting rich is so brilliant that it's no exaggeration to say it's a stroke of genius!
"The Wild Jellyfish should be considered a rare Pokémon now, so you should probably think about it. Besides, these Pokémon have very specific environmental requirements; they need nutrient-rich soil and a suitable climate... Even if you could keep them, they wouldn't be easy to keep."
[That's true. If they were easy to raise, Grass/Ground type Pokémon would be as common as stray dogs on the street!]
Isn't it because they taste so good that they become prey for many Pokémon?
[By the way, do wild jellyfish have special characteristics? Can they evolve?]
These comments reminded Ye Yinchuan that he had something to say again:
"Field jellyfish can evolve... After evolving, they are called terrestrial jellyfish, and their evolved appearance is very similar to the evolved form of the agate jellyfish, the tentacle jellyfish..."
"As for the characteristics of the Wild Jellyfish... they have a unique characteristic that I call 'Mycelial Power.' This characteristic allows its variation moves to ignore the target's characteristics... but at the same time, like mycelium, it makes its energy mobilization speed sluggish!"
[That sounds a bit abstract!]
[Seriously, is the agate jellyfish really completely unrelated to the wild jellyfish? They clearly have a lot in common!]
"Have you ever heard of convergent evolution? Although they are not the same species, they can evolve to have similar characteristics... For example, Pokémon like the Electric Mouse are all Electric-type and are often small in size..."
In fact, Ye Yinchuan has an even more suitable example: ground squirrels and sea squirrels.
One is a mole, and the other is an aquatic creature.
In addition, Ye Yinchuan was also aware of the "crabification" phenomenon in the world before he transmigrated.
Some creatures, though not crabs, have somehow evolved crab-like characteristics...
For example, the "Red Spotted New Rock Porcelain Crab" is essentially a type of shrimp, but it has the appearance of a crab!
While chatting about wild jellyfish, Ye Yinchuan did not stop walking.
He held the motorcycle lizard's egg and continued exploring.
He increasingly felt the temperature of the Pokémon egg in his hand rising, and his heartbeat becoming stronger—signs that it was about to hatch!
"Family members, the hatching is about to begin!"
Ye Yinchuan was genuinely happy and immediately shared it with the audience.
The audience was also very enthusiastic—
[Okay, okay, surely the streamer won't actually hatch a Celebi, right?]
That's going too far!
I'm really looking forward to it!
Although Ye Yinchuan knew that what hatched from this thing was a motorcycle lizard, his excitement, joy, and anticipation were no less than those of the audience.
After all, this will be his best mount for a long time to come!
Furthermore, the Motostole Pokémon is a species that has not yet been discovered in this world...
In other words, the one he is about to hatch is very likely to be the only one in the world!
In terms of rarity, it may even surpass the Milotic I currently own.
After all, Milotic evolved from Feebas, and although it's extremely difficult to evolve, and no one has successfully evolved it yet, that doesn't mean no one will in the future...
Motor lizard...
There are currently no known other ways to obtain it...
Unless, of course, Silavi brought other Motolizard eggs to other people!
Hmm... now that you mention it, the probability isn't zero after all.
Never mind, let's hatch and enjoy first!
The hatching process of the Motolizard is progressing a little faster than Ye Yinchuan had anticipated. He speculated that it was because it had encountered powerful Pokémon one after another and had engaged in battles...
The spirit energy they mobilized stimulated and accelerated the hatching of the motorcycle lizards.
"Speaking of which, the egg on this Motor Lizard's panel actually indicates that it can evolve?"
Ye Yinchuan was thinking about something.
The only Pokémon forms related to Motostoma are probably Gruuldon and Milotic...
Or rather, their other names—
Winged King and Iron Serpent!
These two are legendary Pokémon, one symbolizing the primal power of the past, and the other symbolizing the technological power of the future...
However, according to the Pokédex, both of these Pokémon are recorded in ancient adventure notes or books...
According to the original setting, these two types of Pokémon should actually be paradoxical.
In other words, the past and the future cannot occur simultaneously.
Where there is the Winged King, there should be no Iron Serpent!
Connecting the two is another undeniable element: the Motor Lizard, representing the present...
In other words, both Winged King and Iron Serpent are theoretically paradoxical species of the Motor Lizard.
The difference is that one represents the ancient world, and the other represents the future!
So, is it possible for my own Motor Lizard to evolve into one of them?
If that's the case, then it's really something else!
Although I haven't been able to tame a divine beast yet...
But who knows, you might be able to raise it and evolve it into a mythical beast yourself, which would be incredibly awesome!
Based on the egg-type move "Lightning Strike" that Motostow possesses, Ye Yinchuan has actually seen some signs that his Motostow might indeed evolve into either Guraton or Milton...
By any measure, he's an Electric/Dragon type, wielding the legendary Iron Serpent Milton, a creature capable of turning the earth to ashes!
