Chapter 401 Oh my god! This deep-sea Pokémon has appeared on the surface of the sea!
Chapter 401 Oh my god! This deep-sea Pokémon has appeared on the surface of the sea!
Chapter 401 Oh no! If this kind of deep-sea Pokémon appears on the surface of the sea, something ominous will happen!
At this crucial moment, Ye Yinchuan clearly saw a mother and child Pokémon beneath the giant wave—a Seadra and a Horsea…
Sensing the surging giant wave, the young Seahorse showed a look of panic, while its mother, Seadra, stood in front of it, her eyes resolute, showing the strength of a mother!
One of the trainer's rules is that you should not attack parent-child Pokémon in the wild.
"Seadragon is a higher level and a Water-type Pokémon, so it might be able to withstand it... But this Horsea is too low-level. I'm afraid Milotic's Surf would shatter its internal organs!"
Ye Yinchuan is under immense pressure at this moment.
Although neither he nor Milotic intended to harm any person or Pokémon, they did not anticipate that things would spiral out of control like this.
A powerful force is like a ferocious beast; if it cannot be controlled, it will bare its fierce fangs, harming both itself and others!
"We have to find a way..."
Ye Yinchuan's eyes flickered, and his brain raced.
At this moment, Milotic almost wanted to dive down and use itself to fight against the giant wave, but now the only one with a chance to control the wave was itself...
"Cardcaptor, attack with me! Whimsicott, use a stat-lowering move on Milotic!"
Ye Yinchuan made his decision.
"Clang! Clang!"
With a metallic scraping sound, Kodora followed Ye Yinchuan and leaped into the sea below, crashing down the cliff face!
This is what trust is!
As Ye Yinchuan fell, the Poké Ball on his waist vibrated. It turned out to be Sobble, which he had just caught, that had run out on its own. Just as Sobble was about to fall down as well, Whimsicott, which has the ability to fly, caught it.
Although Whimsicott was also worried about Ye Yinchuan's safety, in an instant, her eyes hardened and she decided to do as Ye Yinchuan had done and reduce Milotic's power!
"Acting cute", "fake crying", "moon power"!
When this combination of punches was unleashed, Whimsicott looked pitiful. Although it looked a bit abstract and incongruous, the special energy did indeed affect Milotic!
Although in the game, "Charm" and "Fake Cry" both reduce the opponent's "Attack," which generally refers to the power of physical moves, while "Surf" is undoubtedly a "Special Attack," in the real world, their effects are not so strictly distinguished. For example, Snorlax's "Squeeze" can also block special attacks to a certain extent!
As for Moon Power, in the game it is an attack move that also lowers Special Attack. In reality, it can be directly converted into energy to lower Milotic's Special Attack.
As Milotic's abilities are reduced, the power of its "Surf" will naturally decrease as well!
Sobble was startled by Milotic's "Surf" move, which caused it to escape from its Poké Ball. Upon seeing the massive wave, the chaotic situation, and the unfamiliar faces, it panicked and instinctively used the move "Sobble." In the game, this move lowers both attack stats, and it has a similar effect in real life.
Milotic's power level dropped several levels instantly, and the momentum of the wave noticeably subsided.
Seth was shocked the whole time, her mouth agape, completely unable to keep up. She never expected Ye Yinchuan to have the courage to take that leap, and she was also impressed by the execution ability of Ye Yinchuan and his Pokémon!
Is this streamer always this brave?
[No, he jumped? He just jumped like that, all skin and bones?]
Tell me, this is scripted, this is just for the show!
The level of shock in the live chat was clearly no less than that of Seth, something almost no one could understand. He was clearly a top-tier streamer across the entire internet, yet he was working so hard during an outdoor live stream...
Ye Yinchuan also displayed caution and prudence, and rarely took any risky actions.
Even some longtime fans are now a bit confused.
@Ms.Carrot: [I trust the streamer; he must have been confident to do that!]
Indeed, Ye Yinchuan dared to do this precisely because he was quite confident. He had Kedora jump with him because he trusted Kedora to protect him; she was his guarantee of safety…
After all, whether it's rescuing people or Pokémon, the first priority is your own safety.
Secondly, Ye Yinchuan's leap had another purpose, which was to put additional pressure on Milotic, or rather, to motivate him...
It must control this giant wave; otherwise, it may harm him, the trainer, and his dearest loved one!
Although this approach is somewhat cunning and cruel, it's the most effective method Ye Yinchuan can think of at the moment...
Believe in the bond between Milotic and yourself, and believe in Milotic!
The sudden appearance of the teardrop lizard was completely unexpected by Ye Yinchuan, a variable that inadvertently provided a helping hand!
"Waaah—"
Seeing Ye Yinchuan and Akodora fall, Milotic felt even more anxious. With this strong desire to protect them, and with the combined efforts of Whimsicott and Sobble, the giant wave beneath Milotic finally began to slowly subside, like a super 100-ton truck gradually coming to a stop.
"Goldfish, now's the time!"
Seth seized the opportunity and called Golduck to intervene, helping Milotic complete the final wave-closing maneuver.
Ye Yinchuan and Akoola had already positioned themselves in front of Seadra and Black Seahorse. The massive wave that had been like the sky collapsing gradually subsided, and although it still created a wide and powerful wave when it hit the sea surface, it could no longer cause any substantial damage.
Clinging tightly to Kodora, Ye Yinchuan rolled around in the waves, soaking wet and looking quite disheveled...
However, seeing that the Seadra and the Black Seahorse were unharmed and even called out to them as if to say hello, Ye Yinchuan felt that it was all worthwhile.
Immediately afterward, Milotic arrived, scooped up Ye Yinchuan, placed him on its own body, and twisted its neck to snuggle against Ye Yinchuan...
This is a moment of relief and affection after a close call.
"Milotic, I knew you could do it! You did a fantastic job!"
Ye Yinchuan did not blame Milos for creating such an out-of-control giant wave. Instead, he was happy that Milos had mastered surfing and learned to control the waves.
Seeing this, Golduck looked at Milotic and, recalling the giant wave from before, broke out in a cold sweat. Its inner thoughts were a jumbled mess: "Milotic seems so composed, how come it attacked so recklessly..."
"That was terrifying!"
Seth was already terrified, and only when everything settled down did she regain her senses. Her heart was pounding in her chest. At this moment, she was holding the tear-eyed lizard in her arms, whose tears were still wet with tears. Because of the tear-inducing properties of the tear-eyed lizard, her own tears were also falling in a steady stream...
If you didn't know better, you'd think she was crying from fright.
Afterwards, Seth consulted Ye Yinchuan about his experience in raising Feebas into Milotic, and the two exchanged some Pokémon-related matters before parting ways.
"You should definitely visit our Crystal Tide Dojo when you have time. With your skills, you might even have a chance to get a badge!"
Upon hearing Seth's invitation, Ye Yinchuan nodded, a seed planted in his heart.
"Gym... I'll go check out the Crystal City Gym after I've explored the three major wilderness areas around Crystal City."
After all, gyms, although not originally part of Ye Yinchuan's plan, are a unique feature of the Pokémon world. Even if getting badges isn't the main goal, it's nice to try them out.
"You teardrop lizard, how did you end up out here all by yourself? Weren't you scared just now?"
Ye Yinchuan held Sobble in his arms, comforting it like a baby with his Heavenly Hands. At the same time, he took out some berries from "Pokémon Paradise" and gave them to his Pokémon.
After saying goodbye to Seth, Ye Yinchuan enjoyed the calm seas and continued his outdoor adventure at sea.
At this moment, he also released Snorlax from its Poké Ball. Sure enough, although Snorlax was a big fat guy, it was quite well-built. Utilizing its body fat, it had good buoyancy in the water, and although its swimming speed couldn't compare to Milotic's, it wasn't slow at all...
Ye Yinchuan has already tried to get Milotic to use Surf on a small scale while moving around. If possible, it would be best to teach Snorlax and Cthulhu as well.
"Click!"
Snorlax suddenly seemed to have discovered something and swam faster in one direction.
Ye Yinchuan told Milotic to follow, and at the same time pointed the camera at the sea. In the water, there was a figure wriggling its body. The front part looked like a small fish, but the back part looked like a long snake. What was even more surprising was that the eyes of this unknown creature were shining like flashlights...
What kind of Pokémon is this?
[Wow, has the streamer discovered a new species?]
Ye Yinchuan, with his keen eye for treasures, attempted to obtain the Pokémon's datasheet through the water's surface in order to gather information.
But that Pokémon, or some unknown creature, suddenly sank rapidly and disappeared above the water's surface...
"What was that? It just flew by in a flash. Could it have been just an ordinary sea snake?"
Ye Yinchuan thought to himself, because he hadn't seen it clearly and the Treasure Appraisal Eye hadn't detected any panel, he couldn't connect it with any Pokémon he knew.
However, the next moment, Snorlax was attacked!
"roar!"
Accompanied by a piercing sound, like a sea monster, the water beneath Snorlax suddenly began to swirl rapidly, as if forming a whirlpool, which made Snorlax cry out in unease.
And right there in the vortex, a terrifying, ghostly face suddenly sprang out without warning, opening its blood-red maw to reveal sharp teeth, and lunged at Snorlax...
No sooner said than done.
Snorlax, which was subjected to the torture of "Shadow of the Overlord" every now and then, reacted very quickly, almost immediately filling up its energy and activating "Spherical" to resist the opponent's attack...
The attacker then bit down hard on Snorlax's hand, its entire body completely exposed to Ye Yinchuan and the audience!
【Whoa! What is this?!】
[I've never seen a Pokémon like this before. It looks so fierce and scary, and it attacks on its own. Maybe I should just kill it!]
[That looks like... a Seraphim? Holy crap, shouldn't this be a deep-sea Pokémon? How did it get to the surface? I've heard that if a Seraphim appears on the surface, something bad will happen!]
Observing the reactions of the comments, Ye Yinchuan immediately understood that many people did not recognize this Pokémon. It was a relatively rare species, but not the kind that had not yet been discovered.
The official Pokédex contains a similar statement, saying that if a Pokémon like Rathian is washed ashore, something ominous will happen...
That's right, the Pokémon in front of you is called Skarner, a Water-type Deep-Sea Pokémon.
The appearance of the hunter-gatherer is indeed unconventional. If one did not know its origin, one would definitely mistake it for some kind of sea monster. Its overall shape resembles an eel or a sea snake, with a bright combination of blue and orange colors. The orange parts are mainly the fins, including the head, chin, and back, and the body has glowing spots...
As mentioned earlier, it has a large mouth, sharp teeth, and somewhat empty and lifeless eyes. At first glance, it gives people a primitive and savage feeling. However, if you treat it as a regular Pokémon, it is the kind that is a bit silly. Whether it is cute or not depends on personal preference.
Besides what has been mentioned above, the most distinctive feature of the spotted wrasse is that its tail is somewhat like that of a small fish, and the spots on it happen to look like the eyes of a fish...
The unknown figure seen in the water earlier was clearly a harlequin wrasse, but its tail and head were positioned upside down, which caused the misunderstanding...
The harlequin fish uses its tail, which resembles a small fish, to lure its prey and then swallow it whole!
As the Eye of Insight was activated again, the Hunter Fish's stats appeared—
Deep-sea Pokémon: Skarner
[Level: 31]
[Attribute: Water]
[Gender: Male]
[Racial stats: A-rank (485)]
Individual Value: D grade (39)
【Features: Free and easy movement】
[Personality: Gentle]
[Skills: Tide Whirl, Water Gun, Bite, Shell Smash, Iron Wall, Piercing Sound, Terrifying Face... Saltwater, Surprise Attack, Diving...]
[Status: Poisoning, Mania, Hunger]
[Evolutionary Path: Pearl Oyster — Spotted Fish]
[Trait: None]
Looking at the panel, Ye Yinchuan's eyes narrowed involuntarily. Another Pokémon that's been poisoned!
Upon closer inspection, the spotted fish does indeed have some purplish-black spots on its body, and its normally white eyes appear somewhat cloudy, which are clearly signs of poisoning.
If the incident with the Neonfish was a coincidence, then the addition of this Seraphim is enough to show that the situation has become so serious that it is affecting the Pokémon ecosystem.
"hiss……"
Ye Yinchuan felt a chill run down his spine and became increasingly eager to figure out the origin of that turbid current that ran through the seabed.
Just then, he felt a burning sensation on his body. When he reached out and touched it, he found it was a Phoenix King feather, glowing and radiating heat...
Immediately afterwards, a will appeared in Ye Yinchuan's mind, and the energy generated from the Phoenix King's feathers almost enveloped his entire body, making him look like a Super Saiyan, with his whole body shining brightly.
What happened?
[Just entered the live stream, and I'm asking because I don't understand: Is the Phoenix King's envoy always this arrogant?]
