Chapter 318 A Connection from Japan! A Giant Bird of Unknown Origin! Is This Still a Pokémon?
This is the first time I've ever seen Bobo escape from prison...
[This isn't really prison, after all, the food and drink are good, and they're not fattened up like pigs to be slaughtered. Looking at it from another angle, it's practically paradise!]
[Come on, give me liberty or give me death! Like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, gently and comfortably breaking down a Pokémon's natural instincts... Whoever came up with this Fatpo Farm business model is absolutely wicked!]
Seeing the discussion in the comments, Ye Yinchuan nodded in agreement.
Freedom is a very mysterious thing. Theoretically speaking, it is the most basic thing, but it also belongs to the spiritual pursuit.
Some people don't care about freedom; they only want to live a muddled life and indulge in pleasure.
Some people are willing to give up everything, even their lives, to pursue freedom and not be enslaved!
For the general public, there is no freedom when they can't even get enough to eat.
Well, although it says "human" here, as we all know, Pokémon have self-awareness and personality.
This Pidgey is a Pokémon with a free spirit!
Ye Yinchuan admires and respects this spirit, but at the same time, he will not criticize those Bobo who did not do so.
Humans created the environment at Fatbo Farm; it's not their fault that they live in it...
Moreover, not everyone has the abilities of this Polito, the willpower and execution to fly out of this Polito farm!
Although this Pidgey doesn't show any special features on its stats other than its stubborn personality!
Perhaps, as Bobo flew away, he shouted in his heart, "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens?"
@Meichuan Neiyi: [Host, I'm an operator from the Neon Pokémon Center. Recently, an unidentified giant bird-like Pokémon has been spotted in some areas of Japan. We know very little about this Pokémon, and its actions have already caused significant damage. I would like to ask you to help identify it in order to find a solution.]
A comment caught Ye Yinchuan's attention.
He raised an eyebrow. Neon lights and giant bird-like Pokémon—the art style felt right, but this was the Pokémon world, not the Ultraman world, right?
However, giant Pokémon have appeared in the original works before, and they often leave a deep impression.
Even in this Pokémon world, Ye Yinchuan had seen a giant Dragonite in his live stream...
Therefore, it is entirely reasonable for a giant, unidentified bird-like Pokémon to appear in Japan.
But neon lights...
Ye Yinchuan's impression of this country, well, as a Chinese person, it's inevitable to have a sense of national pride and patriotism, something ingrained in one's bones that cannot be forgotten.
However, it must be admitted that there are at least four things that neon lights cannot spray—
Comics, music, and animation!
Not to mention, the Pokémon IP itself originated in Japan.
Ye Yinchuan thought it over and over, but still felt that he couldn't start eating by picking up the bowl and then cursing as soon as he put it down...
Besides, the neon lights of the Pokémon world might not be the same as the island nation where I lived a comfortable life before I transmigrated.
If another layer of buffs is added, the ordinary people of Japan are innocent.
This is the truth. After all, even in the history before time travel, there were comrades fighting together in the island nation!
After calming down, Ye Yinchuan felt as clear-headed as a mirror and accepted the call request from the international friend!
On the live feed, a woman with a pure and innocent appearance but a capable and efficient demeanor appeared, wearing the uniform of the Fairy Center.
[It's been a long time since I've seen a woman of this beauty since I started doing outdoor live streams.]
[The Pokémon next to her is... Gardevoir? But why is she wearing a Pokémon Center uniform? You have to admit, it has a certain charm!]
The recapture of Japan is imminent!
At this moment, Meikawa Nei bowed to the camera, and Gardevoir beside her did the same, appearing gentle and polite.
"Hello there."
Ye Yinchuan, true to his manners, took the initiative to greet him.
"Do you have any footage of the unidentified bird-like Pokémon you mentioned? Ideally, there would be a live stream of it so I can see it more clearly."
Get straight to the point.
Ye Yinchuan's discerning eye can only identify Pokémon that are currently being live-streamed; it cannot directly identify images or videos.
Therefore, he made this request.
On the other hand, Ye Yinchuan was also somewhat confident that, with the help of the Pokédex and his knowledge of Pokémon, he had a chance of successfully identifying them even without relying on the Pokémon Detective's Eye.
Don't forget that, in order to avoid over-reliance on the system, Ye Yinchuan would also often consciously or unconsciously cultivate his own appraisal skills.
Anyway, the situation with the giant bird Pokémon in Japan is unclear, so even if he can't identify it, it won't be a big deal.
"Well... all we have at hand are the data. After all, attacks by unknown Pokémon aren't always reported live. But if anything happens here, we'll get in immediately."
Hearing Mei Chuan Neiyi's words, Ye Yinchuan also felt pressured, but this level of pressure even made him feel slightly excited.
This means that I can't use the Treasure Appraisal Eye, and I have to rely on my own appraisal skills to try to identify a special Pokémon whose situation is unknown.
Every professional appraiser has this aspiration.
But once you experience too many setbacks, that excitement will gradually fade away...
Ye Yinchuan is different. He hasn't experienced the bitterness of a failed appraisal yet. He's incredibly confident, and although he's known as the "Lightning-Fast Appraiser" for his speed and accuracy, his mindset is still in the beginner's golden age.
As the saying goes, "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger!"
"Let's upload the documents!"
On Mei Chuan Naiyi's side, the information was also displayed. She had a special projection device, so it was like a teacher giving a lecture to students in a multimedia classroom, and the information was displayed clearly.
Looking at the Pokémon in front of him, Ye Yinchuan fell into deep thought.
This creature is enormous, like a monster from a tokusatsu movie. It seems capable of knocking down skyscrapers with a single kick. It usually flies in the air or appears in remote suburbs, and has not caused any real harm to human living areas. In fact, according to the data, apart from the old man who had a heart attack from fright, this Pokémon has not caused any injuries or deaths. The old man was also taken to the hospital in time and escaped unharmed.
The appearance of this Pokémon clearly shows that it is a bird.
Its skin is rough and hideous, looking as if it has been burned or has a skin disease. There are no feathers on its body. Its beak is red, and there is a round structure on its tail. In addition, its head is bald. Besides the ugly wrinkles on its skin, even its wings look rotten and tattered.
"What kind of Pokémon is this? Given the art style of Pokémon, would there be such an ugly creature?"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Generally speaking, Pokémon's art style is either very gorgeous and cool, or very cute; even the ugly ones have a bit of ugliness-cuteness...
Especially something this ugly to the point of being disgusting, it's practically nonexistent.
[Is this really a Pokémon? This is the ugliest I've ever seen, bar none!]
I'm going to throw up, this skin is so weird!
[Wait... what kind of alien monster is this?]
It's no wonder the comments were harsh; this so-called bird Pokémon really does look unpleasant.
Even Ye Yinchuan had some doubts, wondering if the nuclear wastewater released by Japan had contaminated the area, causing it to turn into this state.
"This Pokémon can wag its tail from side to side?"
Ye Yinchuan watched a video and keenly noticed a detail. He closed his eyes in thought, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said:
"Is it possible that this is a chattering bird that has grown to an enormous size due to some kind of mutation?"
Faced with Ye Yinchuan's bold hypothesis, Mei Chuannei shook her head:
"The Chatot can mimic human language very skillfully, and can even have simple conversations... But this unidentified bird Pokémon makes very strange and unpleasant sounds, like a monster wailing and crying, let alone conversing with us humans. Not to mention, Chatot's feathers are very beautiful, which is not the case. And its eyes are blue, which doesn't match. We also suspected it was Chatot, but we couldn't find direct evidence."
Is it possible that the change was caused by mutation?
[Look closely, the tail of this giant bird Pokémon seems to be very similar in shape to that of a chatterbox...]
[What about the head? How do you explain the head? Shouldn't a noisy bird have a musical note on its head?]
Ye Yinchuan glanced at the comments and nodded in agreement. He thought to himself, "Great minds think alike."
"The tail-wagging habit and the shape of the tail are exactly the same as those of the chattering bird. It is very likely that it is a variant of the chattering bird, and this cannot be ruled out. It's a pity that if I had the actual evidence, I could have conducted a more in-depth identification."
Just then, Umekawa Nai received an urgent notification. After answering it through her earpiece, her eyes lit up with surprise:
"That unidentified bird-like Pokémon has appeared again! Streamer, we'll connect to the live stream right away, please take a closer look!"
[Shocking! Japanese uniformed beauties invite livestreamers to thoroughly examine large penises!]
[Watch the live stream! Looking at this information, it doesn't seem quite real!]
[Streamer, it's time to show off your real skills, don't let me down!]
Soon, a live stream of the bird Pokémon was added to the broadcast room.
Seeing the flying Pokémon, Ye Yinchuan's pupils contracted. His Treasure Appraisal Eye activated, and its panel slowly appeared—
[Musical Note Pokémon: Chatot]
[Level: 70]
【Attribute: Normal, Flying】
[Gender: Female]
[Racial stats: B-rank (411)]
Individual Value: ?
【Characteristic: Sharp Eyesight】
Personality: Timid
Evolutionary path: None
[Moves: Loud voice, whispering, provocation, pecking, shouting, singing, wild attacks, incessant chatter, round singing... Self-motivation, enduring, holding on, bluffing, pecking, flying, clearing fog, disrupting light]
[Status: Anger, Revenge]
[Trait: Zelda Pollution]
This noisy bird was contaminated by a gas called "Zelda," causing it to grow to enormous size, its appearance to drastically change, and even its voice to become unpleasant... but its strength also increased as a result, enabling it to unleash incredibly powerful destructive beams!
Looking at the panel, Ye Yinchuan fell into deep thought.
What a noisy bird!
But wait... won't the noisy birds ruin the light? This is an unforeseen route!
And this "Zelda" gas, why does it sound so familiar? It seems like I've seen it before.
Anger, revenge?
Is this noisy bird seeking revenge? Is it looking for the person who made it this way, so it can get its revenge?
There's also a level 70 noisy bird...
Hehe, leveling up Pokémon in this world isn't that easy. Even Meloetta in the Soundwave Realm is only level 50!
[Host, what do you mean? Did you notice anything?]
[Hiss... What's the origin of this Pokémon?]
Ye Yinchuan pondered for a moment:
"Where is this Pokémon flying off to now? Can you detect it?"
At this time, Umekawa Nai also requested the testing department to provide the route:
"It seems to be a remote mountainous area."
Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow: "Is there anyone there? Or rather, is there something there?"
From Umekawa Nei's side, there was another round of contact:
"There seems to be a research base over there, anchor, do you have a clue?"
"It's hard to say if we have any leads, but I can tell this Pokémon is extremely angry, as if it's looking for something to take revenge on. If it really went that way, its goal is very likely that research facility. Could you tell me what that research facility is researching?"
"A new energy gas called Zelda contains enormous energy, but it's still under research and development because it's extremely unstable, highly flammable and explosive! Once it explodes, it's extremely deadly to living organisms; even Pokémon would have a hard time surviving!"
"Zelda gas?"
Ye Yinchuan's pupils contracted, and he immediately recognized the person.
Could it be that Japan is using this gas for some kind of Pokémon research? Or perhaps this gas caused some kind of disaster, and this chatterbox is a victim of it?
But by some twist of fate, it survived and mutated?
This should also be considered a biological accident, right?
"I suggest you contact this research base immediately. This Pokémon is very likely headed for this base, and the people and Pokémon inside may be in danger!"
Ye Yinchuan realized that the research base would not only have people, but also Pokémon, so he immediately gave a reminder.
Umekawa Nai also immediately contacted the research base:
"Is that Professor Jingu? A bird-like Pokémon is flying rapidly towards the research base. It might attack! Please get out of its way!"
Meanwhile, the connection screen on the other end was also displaying [the connection].
There stood an elderly doctor who looked very haggard, with graying hair. He looked at the image of the bird-like Pokémon and his expression became excited.
"I saw it... that bird Pokémon! It's Sheila, a chatterbox! It's my daughter's chatterbox, and it's still alive! Those jewel-like blue eyes, there's no mistake!"
As he spoke, he picked up a photograph next to him. In the photograph was a sweet and lovely girl and a noisy bird.
This noisy bird is a shimmering polychrome with golden feathers all over its body and eyes like sapphires; it is very beautiful!
"You mean... this giant bird Pokémon, named Sheila, is your daughter's chatterbox, the one in the photo... But how did it become like this?"
Umekawa Naiyi found it hard to believe.
