Chapter 250 The Breeding Roeweed? A Series of Kills Plus a Technical Master! The Song of the End with Extremely High Limits!
"But I feel that relying solely on our own efforts is too slow. Although I'm prepared for a long-term struggle, if there's a better shortcut, who would deliberately take the long way around?"
"So, host, I hope you can help identify this batch of Echeveria and Speaker Crickets, as well as their eggs... and eliminate the unsuitable ones in advance..."
Also, we hope you can provide some guidance and suggestions for our plans, since we feel that our understanding of Pokémon is definitely far less than yours.
Ye Yinchuan nodded. The other party's attitude was sincere, and the plan was feasible. He didn't mind helping with this favor.
While there's a saying that young people shouldn't always be looking for shortcuts, it depends on the situation. The key word here is "always." When it's harmless, taking a shortcut occasionally is often a good thing and a natural human tendency.
"Alright, before I help you with the identification and selection, let's talk about your specific training plans. After all, a single Pokémon can have many different development paths. For example, physical attacks versus special attacks, or training around a specific ability and move..."
I wonder, what direction are you planning to take in training your strongest Snorlax? After all, even a small difference can lead to a huge difference; different directions require completely different standards for choosing Pokémon.
At this point, the comments section was already buzzing with discussion.
[Not a streamer, but someone actually picked a speaker-shaped dog? Even if it's a shiny, exotic one, its value is only for decoration and entertaining pets, right?]
[Want to use a speaker-shaped cricket to participate in battles? Competitions? Paralympics, perhaps?]
[Don't rush, once the streamer makes a move, you'll know if it's good or not... If I actually made you guys a Speaker Hero, you wouldn't be happy.]
"Generally speaking, the characteristics of a speaker cricket should be either a sense of insect premonition or no characteristics at all..."
However, since the release of the "Tech Expert" trait, after repeated research and investigation, we have discovered that the Speaker Crawler may also have the "Tech Expert" trait. If so, the Speaker Crawler's combat potential will increase dramatically.
Our current conclusion is that the Speaker Shoku possesses the characteristics of a master technician, and combined with its combo attacks, it can unleash considerable destructive power...
While it might fall short compared to other Pokémon, it's still a significant breakthrough for Krillin!
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan looked at the person on the other end with admiration. After all, even the Pokémon Association had not yet officially announced the Technician ability of Krillin. This was probably because Krillin was such an unpopular Pokémon that it was almost ignored by anyone except those who liked melodies or collected Bug-type Pokémon.
Although he was inspired by the technical expert Miaomiao, being able to apply what he learned to other situations is quite impressive for a non-professional.
"Well, your choice of direction isn't entirely wrong. However, its potential is ultimately a bit lacking."
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the line was not disappointed; on the contrary, they showed great interest.
"Host, you mean that even a speaker grill can have a very high potential? There are other directions?"
I wasn't originally interested in speaker grills, but if you guys play like this, I might not be sleepy anymore.
[A skilled player's Snorkel? With a combo attack, it might actually be viable, but unfortunately, Snorkel's base stats are too low... So what's its potential ceiling?]
Seeing the audience's enthusiasm rising, Ye Yinchuan didn't hold back:
"One move that Sonic-Krill has the opportunity to learn is called End Song, which is one of the most powerful sound-based moves..."
"Furthermore, among the Pokémon that can master this move, besides Poliwag and Lapras, it has the lowest level requirement."
"I believe some people may not be clear about the effects of the Song of the End..."
This information was clearly something the viewers were hearing for the first time.
After all, very few people train Krillin as a battle Pokémon, let alone raise it to a very high level.
Ye Yinchuan learned through the [True Knowledge Encyclopedia] that in this world, besides the Egg Move being directly carried, there are only two points at which the Snorlax has a relatively high probability of learning it: level 38 and level 50...
There are other opportunities, but the probability is extremely small.
This level of difficulty is not low for the average person. After all, level 38 is a very difficult level for young people to reach in this world.
Having a normal level 38 Pokémon and no other major problems is more than enough to qualify you as a professional trainer.
However, for a move as powerful as the Song of the End, this requirement is not considered high.
Ye Yinchuan also explained the relevant aspects of the Song of the End, as well as the difficulty and requirements for the speaker cricket to master the Song of the End.
[Can it deplete both energy and life? This Song of the End is too powerful!]
Didn't you hear what the streamer said? It depends on the strength difference between the two sides. If the attacker is too weak and the attacked is too strong, it will be difficult to achieve any results!
[The Speaker Cricket only has a chance to reach level 38; it might need to reach level 50, hahaha, I'm really laughing... Even if someone is willing to spend the resources and effort to train it, I wonder if the Speaker Cricket's lifespan can withstand that?]
So here's the question: since Poliwag and Lapras have an easier time mastering this move, why not train those two Pokémon?
[Are you still asleep upstairs? Are Poliwag and Lapras even Pokémon that ordinary people can encounter?]
"You're absolutely right. Even if Poliwag isn't a Totem, it's still an elite... Lapras is the first one; it's on the protected list and quite rare, making it difficult for most people to obtain... Plus, Lapras doesn't like fighting, so raising it for battle requires extra effort..."
"Although level 38 is high, and Krillin's lifespan is relatively short as a Bug-type, we shouldn't overlook the fact that Bug-type Pokémon grow quickly and level up more easily. So, the overall difficulty is balanced..."
"Furthermore, precisely because of the power of the Song of the End, the investment and the return are directly proportional. In any case, this is what I believe to be the breeding method with the highest potential for the Speaker Cricket."
[Wow! I just noticed that the unevolved form of Krillin is called Enchanter, so the correct way to use this Pokémon should be through special attacks!]
Ye Yinchuan found the comment quite amusing.
In fact, in the original work, the base stats of the Snorlax were more inclined towards physical attack. Of course, its special attack move "Bug Buzz" is also one of its most powerful moves.
In the real world, the distinction between physical attack and special attack is not so clear, and there is no corresponding subdivision of base stats.
The difference between strength and energy is actually greater.
"Of course, this is only my theoretical maximum. On the contrary, the combo attack you mentioned, combined with a skilled player, is easier to achieve and performs well in actual combat."
Based on his own understanding and combined with the [Illustrated Guide to True Knowledge], Ye Yinchuan came up with something.
The combo attack is actually quite overpowered in the game because its power doubles with each hit, starting at 40 points and increasing to a maximum of 160 points.
Of course, it's also easy to crack in games.
In reality, it's slightly different. While continuous slashes can increase power through repeated strikes, they primarily rely on momentum to boost power, so a direct hit to the opponent isn't necessary...
However, the power increase each time isn't as dramatic as doubling. The upper limit of the increase, depending on the number of consecutive hits and the level of mastery over the move, is roughly between 1.5 and 3 times...
In other words, theoretically, the combo attack can stack the power of a single strike to 120 points, which is equivalent to an extremely powerful attack.
Because the rate of improvement for consecutive kills is relatively slow, players are more likely to benefit from the skill master's bonus.
From this perspective, the technical prowess of the Speaker Squirrel and its combo attacks are quite well-matched, with both a lower and upper limit.
The only drawback is that Krillin's base stats are too low; otherwise, it would be an extremely powerful physical attacker, truly a Krillin hero!
But perhaps we'll witness the evolution of the Speaker Cricket in our lifetime?
After all, with such low base stats, unless it is forgotten, it is difficult to consider it as the final evolutionary form.
"I see. If Speaker Cricket can master a move like End Song, there's no need to fight the enemy for strength. As long as he can use End Song and defend against the enemy's attacks, wouldn't he be able to just sit back and wait for the enemy to slowly weaken?"
This kind of Speaker-type Krillin can hold its own against opponents with higher levels and better base stats, and even has a fairly high win rate... No wonder the streamer said this is the route with the highest potential!
"However, streamer, I don't plan to give up on the 'Master Technician + Combo' route with the Speaker Squirrel, because I think that while the 'Song of the End' direction has an extremely high ceiling, the difficulty and cost are also far more outrageous... But the 'Master Technician + Combo' route is a relatively easy development path to achieve!"
Hearing what the person on the other end said, Ye Yinchuan nodded. He was just offering a suggestion. The speaker of the End of the Song was indeed powerful, but theory and practice are two different things.
However, it's still necessary to clarify the following:
"If it's a Krillin with the End Song ability, then it must be paired with Bug Presence, although Bug Presence can only increase the power of Bug-type moves."
But don't forget, Krillin's sound-based moves also include "Insect Chirp." Combining this move with End Song doesn't just weaken the enemy; it also deals significant direct damage, disrupting their spirit and energy, making the damage more effective and the weakening speed faster!
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the line was also filled with imagination about this direction of training:
"The key to this route should be sound! Whether it's the Song of the End or the chirping of insects, they are both sound-based moves!"
Ye Yinchuan added:
"Insect Sense enhances combat intuition, making it easier for the Sonic Cricket to dodge enemy attacks. This gives it a better chance to survive until the End Song's depletion effect wears off. Sometimes the best defense is to avoid taking any attacks!"
[Wow, this streamer's understanding of Pokémon is absolutely amazing... Does he even know so much about Krillin?]
I'm sorry, I apologize to the speaker!
After glancing at the comments, Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated. He had only made a few sarcastic remarks, so why was he apologizing?
Unfortunately, due to its recent rise in influence and credibility, viewers, especially fans, have started to "believe" in itself.
The funniest thing was that the person who apologized changed his username to "My Speaker Crab Father," which really made Ye Yinchuan laugh.
"Alright then. When I'm helping you choose later, I'll focus on the technical expert route. If I find any promising talents in Song of the End, I'll let you know."
"Then I'll leave it to the streamer. Without further ado, let's send some gifts! I've spent too much money on the speaker lately, so these are all the Master Balls I have left. Please accept them!"
Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. Why was he suddenly asking for a "welcome"?
But the internet is a vast stage where all sorts of people and all sorts of things can be said, so there's no need to take it too seriously.
[That is, in Kabi Jianbao's live stream, everyone was scrambling to send gifts!]
There's no way around it, the streamer's content is just too good to be true!
Soon, the identification of the Speaker Krill, the Enchanted Pokémon, and their Pokémon eggs officially began.
This person had set up a large room, with white walls and a separate incubator, specifically for cultivating Echeveria elegans and Speaker Crickets.
When Ye Yinchuan entered the room, he was momentarily confused, thinking he had entered a laboratory.
Looking at it, the environment provided by the network provider for these Speaker Crickets looks simple, but it basically has all the necessary space, and the quality of the Pokémon food they use is not bad, so there are basically no problems.
Ye Yinchuan also took the opportunity to admire the designs of the Yuanfa Master and the Speaker Cricket.
The image of Master Yuan is actually quite cute. It looks like a round, chubby cricket with two curved antennae on its head, making it look like a cow. The protruding part around its neck, along with its body structure, makes it look like it is wearing an evening gown, both well-behaved and adorable.
These Pokémon are also particularly small.
The term "Yuanboshi" actually means "Issunboshi" and is also related to a kind of folk toy similar to a roly-poly toy.
Master Yuan actually has another name that is more easily understood by Chinese people, which is "Young Cricket".
Actually, Master Yuan is quite likable because of his appearance...
However, its flowering period is too short, and in the game, it evolves into a Speaker Cricket at level 10...
As mentioned earlier, in the world of Pokémon, sometimes it's harder to avoid evolving than to evolve.
Thinking of the shell dragons, it's like some are dying of thirst while others are drowning in floods.
Let's get back to the design of the speaker.
The most distinctive features of the speaker cricket are its antennae, very similar forelegs, and a pair of curly mustaches.
The overall style is like that of a little old man, quite different from the cuteness of the Master Yuan era.
Furthermore, the overall shape of the cricket is actually similar to that of an erhu or a violin. They play music by crossing their two forearms and rubbing them against their abdomen, combined with their chirping and the echoes produced inside their hollow bellies.
Snorlax appears to be a rather gentle Pokémon, which is consistent with its average strength.
"This egg's move is Slash, but unfortunately its ability is Bug Sensation. It might be worth training; we can keep it for now."
"Sigh, this one's technical skill is excellent, but its individual stats are too low, making it unsuitable for battle. Its base stats are already weak; it absolutely needs to improve its individual stats to catch up!"
"This one's pretty good. Individual value A-rank, with the Master trait. It hasn't learned Combo yet, but that shouldn't be a problem; Combo isn't difficult to learn!"
"Hmm? There's a heterochromatic one here. Look closely, you can clearly see a black line on its forelegs. Most crickets don't have this feature..."
However, it's only a rare color; its other traits and individual values are terrible... It's only good for collecting and as a pet.
"Wow, this Enchantress is something else! It actually has two Egg-type moves: Pounce and Crawling Strike. These moves respectively reduce the opponent's strength and disrupt their energy... This one might be worth training as a special individual!"
"Hmm... wait a minute, let's go back and check on this one too..."
When Ye Yinchuan saw one of the sickly-looking speaker crickets, his gaze sharpened.
This speaker has a very special feature—
[Special Trait: A Musical Prodigy Envied by Heaven]
This Krillin possesses exceptional talent in sound-based moves, allowing it to unleash even greater power and demonstrating superior comprehension. It also randomly carries one sound-based Egg move...
However, its body is extremely weak, almost powerless, and its nutrient absorption is very low. If it is not properly cared for, its lifespan will be extremely short!
That trait is one thing, but this SpeakerKing, to make matters worse, happens to have the move End Song, which is somewhat of a coincidence.
"Host, what's wrong? This speaker cricket is naturally weak, and we were planning to release it. Is the situation really that bad?"
"The situation is a bit bad, but not terrible. Your SpeakerKrill needs to be registered... because it carries the Egg Move 'Song of the End'..."
Ye Yinchuan explained the situation in detail: one was the danger of the Song of the End, and the other was that the speaker cricket needed special care.
"My God! Streamer, you said it, and here comes a genius speaker 'Song of the End'!"
This speaker is incredibly powerful, but it must have exhausted its own strength and health. I felt like it was going to die just standing there!
[The world is full of wonders! If it weren't for the streamer's keen eye, this speaker-shaped cricket might have been released back into the wild and died quietly!]
[The seemingly most unremarkable, even inherently weak and sickly member of the tribe, is actually a once-in-a-century prodigy!]
