Chapter 354 Challenging a Quasi-God! Nosegate Baby VS Metagross! Courage
Chapter 354 Challenging a Quasi-God! Nose Monster VS Metagross! Courage is not just a human's hymn!
The usually innocent and naive Big North Nose now revealed an unprecedented ferocity. Electromagnetic energy surged on its body surface, and the three smaller Big North Noses attached to its body also began to fly around wildly. Even the black iron sand under the big nose occasionally spewed out air currents, scattering and then gathering again, demonstrating Big North Nose's anger.
Wow, Big North Baby looks really fierce, like a berserk Tauros!
Am I the only one who thinks that even like this, it's still kind of goofy?
[What's going on? Even the streamer can't do it! I thought we had successfully tamed it!]
Ye Yinchuan glanced at the comments: "A berserk Tauros? What kind of strange metaphor is this, typical of Pokémon?"
As the comments said, even though Nosegate was acting so angry, given the difference in strength between it and Metagross, it just seemed like impotent rage.
Of course, Ye Yinchuan still highly acknowledged Da Chao Bei Bi's unwavering and vengeful heart...
Respect!
"When a Pokémon enters a Poké Ball, it doesn't mean it has been captured; it's just the first step... As for why this Proboscis is so angry, it's not because it was attacked by a Zoroark illusion, or because it was enraged by a failed capture, as some people think."
Ye Yinchuan briefly explained to the audience Da Chao Bei Bi's current situation.
[Host, you mean it's planning to seek revenge on Metagross? I can understand, but isn't that just suicide?]
[Not necessarily! Big Nose is, after all, a higher evolutionary form. According to the streamer, it was pretty powerful!]
[Speaking of which, it seems the streamer was interrupted halfway through talking about this Pokémon, let's chat about it some more!]
Ye Yinchuan gestured to his Pokémon to stop the Nosecat first, since it had already been inside a Poké Ball, it couldn't just leave like that.
"Big Brother Baby, calm down first."
Faced with Ye Yinchuan's tentative dissuasion and the encirclement of his powerful Pokémon, Noseba's eyes, though apprehensive, were equally resolute.
"Pfft—Oh!"
The Great North Bear let out a warning sound, truly like the roar of a metallic bull. Its meaning was clearly, "Don't force me, don't stop my revenge!"
At the same time, its three small north-facing nose components flew even faster, carrying electromagnetic energy and showing full aggression. Anyone could see that this was a show of force, just like a canine baring its teeth!
[That big Noseback is so ungrateful! If I remember correctly, if the streamer hadn't intervened and traded some food from Arknights and Sableye, it might have already been pulled out by Metagross!]
[Actually, I understand. After all, Metagross may have killed its entire family. Faced with such a deep-seated hatred, naturally no one can stop it!]
Upon seeing this, Ye Yinchuan also sighed slightly.
He didn't actually want Da Chao Bei Bi to deliver it, but since the other party insisted, he had no choice. If he forcibly stopped him, Da Chao Bei Bi would definitely hold a grudge against him, and even if he managed to win him over, there would be endless trouble in the future.
"Since you insist, then go!"
Ye Yinchuan had secretly made up his mind to let Nosegate be taught a lesson by Metagross, so that it would know its place... What he wanted to do was to give Nosegate the cost of making mistakes and save it one more time!
Remember the first principle of Pokémon: Respect!
Respecting the will and aspirations of the baby is the most profound way to put it into practice.
"But are you sure Metagross is still around here?"
When Ye Yinchuan asked the question, Da Chaobei had already released three smaller Chaobei, which flew off in three different directions. Da Chaobei itself hovered and flew at an astonishing speed in another direction.
"Using Nose Cutie to track Metagross?"
Ye Yinchuan rode his Motolizard at breakneck speed, keeping pace with Nosegate. The other Pokémon that could keep up did so, while those that couldn't were recalled into their Poké Balls.
Fortunately, Ye Yinchuan had already recovered most of it when he came out of the secret space, otherwise he would probably be in a lot of trouble now.
Clearly, after Ye Yinchuan and Da Chao Beibi entered Zoroark's secret space, Metagross did not chase after them but disappeared without a trace.
Therefore, the Great North may not be able to find Metagross, since with Metagross's flying speed, it may have already run to some other wilderness area!
Ye Yinchuan also took advantage of this break to interact with the audience and provide additional information.
"As you just saw, the three components of the Big North Nose, namely the Little North Nose, can detach from its body and automatically track and attack enemies. I mentioned this before. As for how far the Little North Nose can detach from the main body, it depends on how strong the magnetic force of the Big North Nose is. If the distance is not well controlled, it may be lost."
Haha, what if it really gets lost and we can't find it?
"Hmm... Generally, it can be found. If it really can't be found, the location of the lost component will consume the nutrients on the big nose to regenerate a new little nose component."
[By the way, does a baby with a north-facing nose have its own consciousness? Is it possible for it to grow up to have a north-facing nose?]
This comment inspired Ye Yinchuan to think. Although the North-Facing Nose group has male and female distinctions, the National Pokédex doesn't seem to mention their reproductive methods.
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but think of Exeggutor. Sometimes an extra egg would grow on Exeggutor and then fall off on its own. The fallen eggs would gather together and become new Pokémon Eggs.
Excoecaria trees also have male and female species, but they reproduce by detaching new offspring, or seeds, from their parent plant and combining them.
Is it possible that the breeding method of the Great Rhinoceros is similar?
With this in mind, Ye Yinchuan spared no expense in spending some influence points to acquire more intelligence and information about the Great Chaos in this world through his exclusive ability, True Knowledge Compendium.
"Got it!"
Ye Yinchuan's heart stirred; he had indeed obtained some information unique to this world.
"So that's how it is..."
After silently reflecting on it, Ye Yinchuan suddenly realized the truth and couldn't wait to share the information with the audience.
"The reproduction method of the Great North Ridge is very special. It requires the females and males of the group to exchange their baby North Ridges. In this way, the genetic information contained in the baby North Ridge becomes complete, which is equivalent to a fertilized egg in humans... When the time is right, the baby North Ridge that has been exchanged and fused will separate from the Great North Ridge to form a new individual, which is the North Ridge we see..."
[Host, what you're saying sounds like a tongue twister, it's making my head spin!]
[How interesting! Pokémon are truly amazing!]
So, theoretically speaking, if a male large north-facing cat loses its baby north-facing cat and happens to be encountered by a female large north-facing cat, would they then have successfully reproduced?
"It's alright, it's just... Nosepassion evolves into a large Nosepassion, and the large Nosepassion has three smaller Nosepassions. The male and female large Nosepassions exchange the smaller Nosepassions on their bodies, and then they can combine to give birth to a new Nosepassion... Is that too complicated?"
Ye Yinchuan said with a mischievous grin.
[Host, did you do this on purpose, or was it accidental?]
I didn't think so at first, but after hearing you say it like that, it really does sound like a tongue twister!
"That's right, the larger baby noses exchange genetic information through the smaller baby noses..."
At this point, Ye Yinchuan also responded to a question raised in the live chat that he hadn't had a chance to answer yet—
"Theoretically speaking, even if Nosegate evolves into Mega Nosegate, it still wouldn't be a match for Metagross. After all, Metagross's unevolved form, MetalGreymon, is capable of hunting Nosegate, so it would be no problem for Metagross to hunt Mega Nosegate..."
"A powerful Pokémon like Metagross, which matures late in life, could potentially grow to near-legendary strength, or even contend with some weaker legendary Pokémon, given enough resources and the right opportunities."
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan finally brought up a concept of Pokémon from before his transmigration.
"I like to call these Pokémon pseudo-legendary Pokémon to distinguish them from ordinary Pokémon. Metagross is a typical pseudo-legendary Pokémon, and it's hard for ordinary Pokémon to compare with it."
Of course, nothing is absolute. Every Pokémon has its unique characteristics, and for us trainers, the key is how you raise and train it. At least in my opinion, this Proboscis is currently far from being a match for that Metagross. Perhaps after I train it for a while, it will have a chance.
[A pseudo-legendary Pokémon, kind of cool!]
[Pass this on: The protagonist has invented a new term!]
[Isn't it just a "late bloomer" Pokémon? It's just a reskin!]
[What a load of bull! Even I, a complete novice, know how awesome Metagross is. This big, upturned nose of mine is way inferior just by looking at its appearance!]
[I don't believe what others say, but this is Snorlax's expert, the number one Pokémon expert online!]
"The number one Pokémon player online? That's an exaggeration, an exaggeration..."
Ye Yinchuan remained modest for a moment.
"Anyway, for those who haven't followed me yet, please do so. I'll be sharing the progress of Nosegate's training with you. Sooner or later, I'll use it to defeat Metagross!"
Great, very energetic!
[Hopefully, I won't be proven wrong!]
Ye Yinchuan was quite confident in raising Nosegate. Even without considering comprehensive training, the rapid leveling up brought by the Shadow of the Overlord and the improvement in combat skills alone would allow Nosegate to close the gap with Metagross in a very short time.
A level 45 Metagross monster, given some time to develop, will at most reach level 50.
If I raise a level 60 or even 70 Great Hornet with superb combat experience, wouldn't that Mega Charizard be doomed?
[We've been searching for ages, it seems Metagross isn't here anymore?]
[Ugh, I thought I'd get to see Nosegate and Metagross in a real fight... and that's it?]
As time went by, the viewers in the live chat felt like they were about to give up, but Da Chao Baby continued to search for Metagross.
The desire for revenge drives it and gives it the most vigorous spiritual motivation!
Ye Yinchuan remained silent, simply following along, because he knew best that the Great North would not give up unless it did, even if Metagross might have actually left.
"Pfft... Ugh!"
Big Nose was getting annoyed because it couldn't find Metagross, and its initial, reckless anger gradually subsided.
Just when Ye Yinchuan thought it was all over, Da Chao Bei suddenly changed direction, increased speed, and flew over aggressively.
"We've found it!"
Ye Yinchuan rode his motorcycle lizard and followed closely behind, sparks flying and lightning flashing all the way.
Soon, Ye Yinchuan followed Chao Beibi and arrived at the front of a cave. When he saw the cave interior shimmering with tiny purple lights, his eyes lit up.
What's in here? Is it a crystal?
Why do I seem to vaguely see flowers?
Ye Yinchuan possesses keen insight and exceptional eyesight; even inside a dark cave, he can see much more clearly than the average person.
He clearly noticed that the things in the cave that emitted a purple glow, like flowers, were actually Pokémon.
"I didn't expect to see this kind of Pokémon here, but this is the Crystal Forest, so it seems reasonable."
Ye Yinchuan uttered this sentence to himself, immediately piquing the audience's curiosity.
[Host, you mean those glowing things are all Pokémon? And what kind of Pokémon is this?]
[Get out of the live stream, riddle teller!]
I'm used to it...
At this moment, the big North Nose rushed in, and the little North Nose that had scattered also returned to its side.
Ye Yinchuan signaled to his Pokémon not to go any further.
Because these Pokémon in the caves are quite dangerous, especially since there are so many of them, and it's their territory.
"Pfft—whoosh!"
Inside the cave, the angry roars of Metagross and Nosegate echoed. As Steel-type Pokémon, their voices were somewhat similar, both filled with a metallic quality. However, Nosegate's voice was deeper, while Metagross's voice was filled with the ferocity of a predator...
Following the shouts of both sides came the sounds of metal clashing, energy surging, and the cave collapsing as the battle raged...
Ye Yinchuan squinted, observing the situation inside the cave. This Great North was single-mindedly focused on revenge, but it hadn't yet realized the difference in strength between the two sides. Even if it had evolved by chance, it was still quite far behind Metagross!
He definitely won't make a move now, because even the big North would disagree.
He would only be at his best if he rescued Da Chao Bei Bi when the battle was nearly over.
"If you calculate it that way, you owe me two lives."
Ye Yinchuan muttered to himself, never expecting that he would have to deal with Metagross for the sake of this Pokémon.
"Soul Reaver, Kodora, go and collect some ore nearby, the better quality kind."
Ye Yinchuan wasn't sure if Metagross would still listen to him, but he decided to give it a try anyway. This was the Crystal Forest, full of crystals and ores, so it wasn't a difficult task, especially for Sableye and Kodora.
"Eat as much as you want on the way, but come back quickly, we'll need you later."
Ye Yinchuan added that the Pokémon that worked hard were like family and brothers, so how could he mistreat them?
"Heh!"
"Clang! Clang!"
Soul-Eye and Kodora responded and acted at top speed.
Before long, Metagross charged out of the cave, its head slamming against Nosegate. Nosegate was badly injured and bruised, while Metagross only had a few wounds, mostly from the combined attack of Incineroar and Whimsicott...
Ye Yinchuan sighed inwardly, gaining a clearer understanding of the gap in strength between the two.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it bloodline suppression!
At that moment, the Great North's eyes flashed with a resolute and fierce light, unleashing its most powerful combo since its evolution!
Electromagnetic energy surged, and the three little North-facing noses surrounded Metagross in a certain formation, unleashing three different beams of light from their bodies!
"This move is... a 'Triple Attack'!"
Three beams of light, each representing the energy of electricity, fire, and ice respectively, struck Metagross, creating a series of interconnected effects!
"No, it's not just a 'triple attack,' it also has the effects of 'gravity' and 'magnetic field manipulation'!"
Ye Yinchuan seemed to be both amazed and explaining.
At that moment, Metagross's body experienced an electromagnetic surge, disrupting its electromagnetic levitation effect and causing it to sway unsteadily...
"Paralysis", "burning", "freezing"...
Three abnormal conditions are taking effect on Metagross. Its body surface is scorched red and then covered with frost. The alternating hot and cold conditions weaken its defenses!
The next moment, the black iron sand on Metagross's Nose Sand rapidly swirled and condensed, forming a sharp spear. Under the combined effect of telekinesis and electromagnetic force, it pierced fiercely into Metagross's now vulnerable body...
Bang!
That part of Metagross's body surface actually shattered; its defenses were breached!
Ye Yinchuan's pupils contracted sharply.
He never expected that Da Chao Bei Bi could do this much.
Even if we can't ultimately defeat Metagross, it'll be enough to make it suffer a lot!
"Stone Strike! It's a 100-power Stone Strike! It's incredibly effective against such vital points!"
Ye Yinchuan's tone was even more admiring.
Courage is not just a hymn to humanity!
