a few days later.
After dealing with the super evolution of the two Heavenly Kings, Ye Yinchuan's life returned to its usual tranquility.
Of course, this calm is limited to offline activities.
On the internet, legends about him have already spread like wildfire.
And today, he once again started an outdoor live stream.
The location is Chiyan Mountain, a famous active volcanic field within China.
Good morning, family.
Ye Yinchuan's voice came through the camera lens.
He was wearing a specially made, heat-resistant expedition suit, with billowing smoke and dark red, cracked earth in the background.
The air itself seemed to be slightly distorted.
[Here it comes! The streamer has come up with something new! This time it's a volcano adventure?]
[Tsk, this place looks so hot!]
[Host, aren't you hot wearing so much? I feel like I'm going to get heatstroke just looking at you through the screen.]
"Don't worry, this outfit is specially made and has excellent heat insulation." Ye Yinchuan smiled. "Besides, my Pokémon are also ready."
He turned the camera around.
There, the scarred raccoon was curiously poking at a piece of steaming volcanic rock with its paw, only to be burned and let out a loud "Ouch!" before jumping up and down, clutching its paw.
As for the Asura Greatsword Demon, it stood coldly to the side as always, as if the surrounding heat had no effect on it whatsoever.
"Today's goal is to find some Fire-type Pokémon that live in volcanic environments."
Ye Yinchuan explained as he walked.
"The ecosystem in volcanic areas is very unique. The Pokémon here have evolved extraordinary abilities to adapt to the extreme heat."
They hadn't been gone long.
Ahead, a zone of slowly flowing lava appeared.
And in that orange-red lava.
One by one, round, plump figures, like melted slimes, were leisurely "taking a bath" inside.
Their bodies are made entirely of magma and radiate incredible heat.
Its two round, yellow eyes looked somewhat dull.
With his scraggly body and small eyes, he looks like an old man and isn't the most likable type.
[This is... a magma slime?]
[Like walking lava lamps!]
[Hey, is that a bug? It looks like lava!]
"Family members, this is one of the goals we are looking for today."
Ye Yinchuan zoomed in with the camera.
"Lavabug, a Fire-type Pokémon. Although its name includes 'bug,' it actually has almost nothing to do with bugs, and it doesn't even have the potential to be a Bug-type."
"Their bodies are flowing magma. Once they stop moving, their bodies cool, solidify, and then crumble. Therefore, they must wriggle continuously throughout their entire lives."
"Their body temperature is said to reach over 5,000 degrees Celsius. Of course, this is just a theoretical peak; in general, it's not that extreme."
Ye Yinchuan's popular science explanations amazed the viewers in the live broadcast room.
Five thousand degrees! That's hotter than the surface of the sun, isn't it?
No wonder they bathe in lava; to them, it's like lukewarm water.
[To never be able to stop for the rest of my life, it feels so tragic————]
Just as everyone was observing this group of strange lava worms.
Ye Yinchuan stopped in his tracks.
Because the road ahead was blocked by a huge figure.
It was a Pokémon that was dozens of times larger than a normal Lava Bug.
Its lower half is still flowing lava.
But its upper body is covered by a huge, hard, spiral shell formed from cooled magma!
The outer shell was a deep gray-black color, covered with dark red cracks like a spider web.
Sparks and waves of heat burst forth from the cracks!
It lay there, nestled in the middle of the narrow mountain path, like an insurmountable, small volcano.
"Family members, we've met the big guy."
Ye Yinchuan's tone carried a hint of excitement.
"The evolved form of Lava Bug—Lava Snail. A Rock/Fire type Pokémon."
"The shell on its back was formed from cooled magma. Although it looks hard, it is actually very fragile and will shatter with the slightest touch."
"However, don't worry. Even if the shell breaks, it can quickly grow a new one once it's soaked in lava."
"And its most terrifying feature is its body temperature."
Ye Yinchuan's gaze turned somewhat serious.
"According to the Alliance's official records, the lava snail's body temperature can reach an astonishing 10,000 degrees Celsius!"
"This temperature far exceeds the surface temperature of the sun."
"Therefore, if you encounter it in the wild, never approach it lightly. Its breath alone is enough to ignite a wildfire. And if you accidentally touch its body—"
Ye Yinchuan did not continue speaking.
But everyone understood that the outcome would be utter annihilation.
[Ten thousand degrees? I'm speechless! This must be a walking solar furnace!]
[If it sneezes, wouldn't it be like a volcanic eruption?]
This is terrifying! How are we supposed to get across this road?
Just then.
A commotion also arose at the other end of the road.
Several trainers, also dressed in adventure gear, appeared there.
They clearly also wanted to take this route.
"Hey! My friend over there!"
One of the trainers, who looked rather young and impetuous, shouted loudly at Ye Yinchuan.
"That lava snail is blocking my way! Move aside a bit, I'll shoo it away!"
At first glance, you can see that the trainer has two female companions, who are obviously trying to show off.
Ye Yinchuan hadn't had a chance to answer yet.
The trainer couldn't wait any longer and threw out his Poké Ball.
"Blastoise, use the high-pressure water cannon to wake it up!"
A flash of light.
A robust Blastoise appeared in the arena.
Its two cannons on its back quickly aimed at the lava snail that was still fast asleep.
"stop!"
Ye Yinchuan's expression changed instantly.
However, it was too late.
boom-!!!
Two incredibly thick water jets, like cannonballs fired from a gun, slammed into the lava snail with tremendous force!
Sizzle—! !!!
Unbelievably, a violent evaporation sound rang out instantly!
For an instant.
The entire valley was completely enveloped in thick, scalding white steam!
Visibility dropped to zero in an instant!
【No way! Is this person crazy?】
That's incredibly reckless!
Don't worry, the streamer's here. He can handle even mythical beasts, let alone lava snails!
"roar!!!!"
A roar filled with endless rage and pain erupted from the heart of the steam!
The voice was no longer the honest, low growl it used to have.
Rather, it is a fury powerful enough to make the earth tremble!
Followed by.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless enormous rocks, burning with raging flames, burst out of the steam in all directions like a meteor shower!
—Breathes!
"Get out of the way!"
Ye Yinchuan's pupils contracted, and he quickly pulled the scarred fox beside him in front of him to protect himself.
Although the scarred raccoon was a little confused, it still raised its paws, ready to face the attack.
However, the Asura Greatsword Demon had already drawn his sword instantly, creating an impenetrable net of blades in front of the group, shattering all the flying firestones!
On the other side...
That reckless trainer wasn't so lucky.
He and his companions were caught off guard and left in a sorry state by this sudden and violent attack.
The Blastoise was hit squarely in the shell by a flint, letting out a cry of pain as it was sent flying.
"Ouch! What are you doing? It's burning me!"
The female trainer turned pale, her tone accusing.
"Damn it! Blocking the way is one thing, but to be so violent is another!"
The young trainer, instead of realizing his mistake, became enraged.
"Blastoise! Keep attacking! Teach it a lesson!"
The lava worms that were leisurely bathing in the magma were also disturbed.
They appear to have been summoned by the lava snails.
One by one, they crawled out of the lava, their round eyes burning with angry flames, and surrounded the trainer and his group!
"...
""
Ye Yinchuan's eyes turned cold.
Because of that guy's recklessness, the situation has gotten a bit out of control.
If this continues, not only will that idiot kill his teammates and fellow Pokémon, but the entire ecosystem of the region could also be negatively affected by the Magmortar's rampage.
There's no other way.
Ye Yinchuan slowly closed his eyes.
Buzz—
An invisible, golden ripple suddenly spread out from him!
Followed by.
A pure white halo, holy and warm, spread outwards like ripples, enveloping the entire valley!
A heavenly aura!
A halo, the area it passes through.
The violent, scorching, and destructive agitation in the air was gently soothed by a tender hand.
The lava snail, which was already enraged, suddenly stiffened its massive body.
Its eyes, burning with fierce anger, quickly melted away under the halo of light.
Instead, there is peace and tranquility.
"roar----"
It let out a low growl, sounding somewhat aggrieved, as if complaining that someone had disturbed its sweet dreams.
At almost the same time, the Lava Bugs that had surrounded the trainers also stopped all their movements.
They blinked, bewildered.
The anger in his eyes subsided.
Then, one by one, they slowly and wriggled back into the lava pool to continue their bath.
The lava snail also calmed down, turned its head to look at Ye Yinchuan, and slowly moved its body aside, voluntarily making way.
It was as if all that tension just now was just an illusion.
At this moment, the entire valley fell into absolute silence once again.
Only the sound of the wind and the subtle rustling of the holy halo remained.
The other end of the road.
The reckless trainer and his companions were all dumbfounded, staring at the miraculous scene before them, too shocked to utter a single word.
The live stream room was flooded with messages again!
[Dude, are you using your ultimate like a basic attack?]
[His lips are all white; he must have been quite exhausted, probably completely drained.]
[Anchor: Everyone, please sit down. This is standard procedure.]
The light slowly faded away.
Ye Yinchuan opened his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.
however.
Just as he was about to turn and leave.
His gaze suddenly froze.
He squinted, fixing his gaze on the group of lava worms that had returned to the lava pool.
There.
There was a lava worm that seemed out of place.
The other lava worms have bright orange-red bodies, like lava.
And it—
The whole thing has a peculiar, silvery-gray color, like metal after it has cooled down!
Against the backdrop of the surrounding fiery red, it was so unique.
"Did you see that?"
Ye Yinchuan's interaction with the live chat was pointed.
Is this a different color? Is this the different color of the lava worm?
[Yosh, I've found another treasure!]
Ye Yinchuan looked at the uniquely shaped silver-gray lava worm, a look of great interest on his face.
"Family members."
"Looks like we're going to have a fruitful day."
He pointed the camera at the unusual silver-gray lava worm.
"Family members, the heterochromatic lava worm has a dark red body."
"But this one—"
A look of inquiry gleamed in Ye Yinchuan's eyes.
"Its color is more like the texture of metal after it has cooled down."
Indeed! What a unique color!
Is this some new subspecies?
[Host, give us your analysis!]
Ye Yinchuan ignored the urging from the comments.
In his heart, his discerning eye had already quietly activated.
next second.
A pale blue information panel, visible only to him, appeared above the silver-gray lava worm.
[Pokémon: Magmafly (Special Mutant Individual)]
[Attribute: Fire]
【Characteristic: Body of Flames】
[Level: 19]
[Skills: Harden, Spark, Mist, Cleanse Smoke —]
Individual Value: Grade B (98)
[Special Status: Metal Mutation (Due to long-term consumption of special metallic minerals from deep within a volcano, the body composition has mutated, acquiring some steel-type traits. Physical defense far surpasses that of its kind. There is a very low probability of awakening the steel attribute after evolution.)]
"I see----"
A knowing smile appeared on Ye Yinchuan's lips.
"Family members, this is not just a simple case of unusual color."
He spoke slowly, his voice carrying an undisguised excitement.
"This lava worm is very likely a special mutated individual."
"In addition to pure fire elemental energy, volcanic areas also contain rich metal ore veins."
"Ordinary lava worms feed on rocks and soil. But this one, most likely, couldn't compete for ordinary food and had to make those special metallic ores its staple food in order to survive."
"Over time, its body, like steel, was forged and tempered, incorporating a large amount of metallic components."
"That's why its body has this unique metallic texture."
Ye Yinchuan paused for a moment, then threw out a conclusion that drove everyone crazy.
"This means that its defense, especially its physical defense, will be several levels stronger than that of ordinary lava worms!"
"Furthermore, if properly nurtured, it might even awaken powerful Steel-type potential after evolving into LavaCleef, becoming a rare creature that masters all three moves: Fire, Steel, and Rock!"
Firestone!
These three words were like a bombshell, exploding in the live broadcast room!
Fire and Steel? Holy crap! Are there really Pokémon with those types?
[Fire Steel type, it has very few natural enemies, right?]
Say no more! Take it! We must take it!
The viewers in the live stream have gone completely crazy.
A lava worm with the potential to become "Fire Steel Rock"!
Its value is immeasurable!
Just then.
At the other end of the road, the young trainer who had caused the trouble finally came to his senses.
He looked at Ye Yinchuan's figure, then at his companions around him who admired him and looked down on him, and his face turned pale and then red.
He recognized them; even if he didn't, he should have understood from his companions' exclamations and discussions—
This is none other than the incredibly popular Kirby Mirror!
That miraculous "heavenly aura" just now solved the problem instantly; compared to that, I was simply a clown.
He thought of many things, and a wave of fear shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
The young trainer gritted his teeth and forced a fawning smile onto his face.
He straightened his disheveled clothes and moved closer to Ye Yinchuan.
"You're Mr. Kirby, right? I acted rashly just now and almost caused a disaster! I'm so sorry for the trouble I caused you. Thank goodness you prevented serious consequences! I—I apologize!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan turned around and glanced at him.
"It's me. The fact that you apologize shows you still have some conscience. Please don't do this again. I'm live-streaming right now, so please don't disturb me."
"We won't disturb you, we absolutely won't disturb you."
The young trainer seemed to have received some kind of forgiveness, and obediently returned to his companions, only watching from afar, not daring to approach again.
After dealing with this little incident.
Ye Yinchuan's gaze returned to the silver-gray lava worm.
It seemed to have noticed Ye Yinchuan's gaze as well.
It poked half its body out of the lava pool, its yellow eyes warily scrutinizing the human.
It exuded an aura of arrogance that was completely different from its honest and simple counterparts.
"roar----"
The scarred raccoon came closer, curious, and stretched out its paw, seemingly wanting to poke it again.
"etc."
Ye Yinchuan stopped it.
He shook his head and laughed, "This guy is not like those little cuties from before. It has a high metal content in its body and its temperature is also higher than its kind."
"If you swat me like that, it might not be as simple as just a burn."
39
"Huh?" (What should we do then?)
Scarface tilted its head.
Ye Yinchuan smiled slightly and calmly took out a specially made metal box from his backpack.
Open the box.
Inside, lying quietly was a fist-sized piece of ore, completely black, yet shimmering with starlight.
—Comet fragments.
A rare mineral containing pure energy, said to contain cosmic energy.
It is also a favorite "snack" for many Steel-type Pokémon.
[Comet fragments! Aren't these things so expensive you can't buy them even if you have money?]
[Is there a blue Doraemon hidden in the streamer's backpack? It has everything!]
Using a comet fragment to bribe a lava worm? That's too extravagant!
Ye Yinchuan paid no attention to the astonishment of the comments.
He gently placed the comet fragment on the edge of the lava pool.
really.
The silver-gray lava worm's eyes lit up the moment it saw the comet fragment!
It could clearly sense the pure metallic energy contained within that ore, which held a fatal attraction for it!
That energy was even more tempting than all the ores it had ever eaten before combined!
It hesitated.
A sense of vigilance keeps it from easily approaching.
But the instinctive desire made it impossible for it to look away.
Ye Yinchuan did not urge him.
He simply stood there quietly, a gentle smile on his face.
He believed that no Pokémon with the potential to be Steel-type could resist the temptation of the comet fragments.
Time passed, second by second.
finally.
Desire triumphed over vigilance.
The silver-gray lava worm finally made up its mind.
It cautiously crawled out of the lava pool, wriggling and inching closer to the comet fragment.
It stopped in front of the shards, looked up, and glanced at Ye Yinchuan.
Ye Yinchuan nodded gently at it.
It's as if it's saying: Eat up, this is a gift for you.
The silver-gray lava worm finally lowered its last bit of guard.
It opened its mouth and swallowed the comet fragment in one gulp.
next second.
Om-!
Its body trembled violently!
A dazzling, silvery-white metallic sheen flashed across its surface!
Its body temperature seemed to rise even higher at that moment!
"roar!"
It let out a satisfied, joyful neigh.
Then, it turned around and, surprisingly, wriggled to Ye Yinchuan's feet, staring at him expectantly.
It's as if asking: Are there any more like that?
