Chapter 226 The Pokémon that "stares at the sun all day without moving" and "has a li
Chapter 226 The Pokémon that "stares at the sun all day without moving" and "has a little head on its butt"!
Ye Yinchuan narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment.
To be honest, under normal circumstances, he would have agreed immediately.
But if this person insists on adding an "R" to their name, then I can't help but overthink it.
As a time traveler, it's perfectly normal to be a little sensitive to the Rockets' iconic letter "R"!
At this point, Ye Yinchuan had already become suspicious, after all, Team Rocket was the villain...
If it really is Team Rocket, and they discover a deserted island teeming with unknown Pokémon, wouldn't they capture them all? They might even go to great lengths to destroy the Pokémon and the island.
I cannot allow myself to be deceived and become an accomplice of evil forces when the situation is unclear.
However, if the other party is really a criminal, they are too arrogant. Don't they know they have connections with the Pokémon Center and the Dream Protection Bureau?
With a simple report, one can pinpoint the other party's location via their web address... Then, both the Pokémon Center and the Dream Protection Bureau can follow the trail and bring them to justice if they have committed a crime!
"Let's play it safe for now and see how things go."
Ye Yinchuan's side doesn't have any substantial evidence yet, and can only make a conviction online based on the letter "R". Then it's not that the other party has a problem, but that they themselves have a problem.
"Okay, let's begin now."
Ye Yinchuan glanced at the time, because he was still thinking about leaving get off work on time.
However, judging from the person on the other end of the line, there is likely more than one Pokémon to be identified. No matter what happens next, I have to finish this quickly!
"OK, no problem, streamer. I've been watching your stream for a long time. Here are ten Master Balls for you."
Xiao Ran, the person on the other end of the line, gave a wink to the person next to her as she spoke.
A newly registered account sent out ten Master Balls.
[Wow, they just gave it away like that? That's impressive!]
They have a whole adventure team and their own ship; how could they not be strong?
I'm really afraid that one day the streamer will actually drive a Cullinan!
"Okay, host, can you tell me what kind of Pokémon this is?"
As he spoke, the person on the other end gestured to the person next to him, who handed over a cage containing a Pokémon that looked like a bird but was quite unique.
[This thing is so abstract! It doesn't even have a body, it's just a head?]
[What is that? It looks like a fake bird.]
Its eyes look so fake! Do Pokémon really look like that?
I'm starting to suspect it might be AI-generated.
The viewers in the live chat seemed to have never seen this kind of Pokémon before, and given its unusual appearance, it inevitably drew some criticism.
But it's clear that this is a living creature, a type of Pokémon.
"This is……"
Ye Yinchuan didn't immediately recognize it, only that it looked familiar, but once the [True Knowledge Compendium] in his mind started working, he knew exactly what it was.
"No doubt about it, this is a Pokémon."
In fact, Ye Yinchuan had also thought that this kind of Pokémon was still undiscovered in this world.
After a moment's thought, he began to explain in detail:
"This Pokémon is called Natu. As for those who say it only has a head and no body... you've probably seen Mankey, right? That thing has a head and a body that are one piece, right? In Pokémon, this is actually quite normal."
As the comments on the screen say, the natural bird's shape looks like a head, with the head being its body, and it is green in color.
Its crest, tail feathers, and legs are all red, and its beak is yellow.
The wings are made of red, yellow, and black.
As for why the natural bird is considered abstract, a big reason is that its eyes have an inexplicable lack of life, and the color distribution of its feathers looks like painted blocks of color, which doesn't seem very realistic.
"Host, you really are knowledgeable. We searched online for so long and couldn't find much information, but you recognized it at a glance... Could you elaborate and tell me more? And could you also assess the quality of this wild bird?"
Ye Yinchuan nodded:
"Natural Finch is a bird Pokémon... If I remember correctly, this Pokémon is a Psychic/Flying type."
Ye Yinchuan paused slightly before continuing:
"Actually, I didn't expect that these Pokémon actually exist. My knowledge about them may not be accurate; it just comes from some ancient books. So take it with a grain of salt; it's only for reference, not to believe it entirely!"
This feinting and overlapping armor technique is also one of Ye Yinchuan's old tricks.
"A superpower type? That's not bad."
The person on the other end of the line immediately became interested, and their eyes lit up with excitement.
"Yes, but their combat power isn't very strong; they're basically equivalent to the initial forms of the starter Pokémon."
Ye Yinchuan poured cold water down the channel.
"Can it evolve?"
The person connecting was somewhat unwilling; Psychic-type Pokémon are generally rarer and stronger in battle...
However, if, as the streamer says, their combat power is only equivalent to the initial forms of the starter Pokémon, then that's a bit too weak.
"It can evolve, but after evolving... it might become even weaker."
Ye Yinchuan observed the person on the other end of the line's reaction and tentatively made up a story.
If it's a criminal organization, besides considering the rarity of Pokémon, they would also inevitably consider their functionality and combat capabilities...
He knew about the evolved form of the Nargataka, the Nargataka, which seemed to possess the incredible ability to foresee the future, but he didn't intend to reveal everything now...
After all, if the other party is indeed a criminal organization and knows this information, then the natural birds and sparrows on this island will probably be in trouble. Moreover, in order to discover this power, they will definitely stop at nothing and even start all sorts of experiments...
How powerful is the ability to foresee the future? It's practically a mythical beast-level conceptual ability!
"Weaker? What do you mean?"
The person connecting with the streamer had some doubts, but the fact that he immediately gifted the streamer ten Master Balls meant he must have done his research and knew Ye Yinchuan's skill level.
"Hmm... After Finch evolves, it becomes very lethargic, staring at the sun almost every day without moving. Do you think such a Pokémon becomes weaker?"
The interviewer seemed thoughtful about Ye Yinchuan's statement:
"Not necessarily. The habit you described, streamer, is actually similar to Slowpoke's. But Slowpoke is a treasure trove; even its tail can fetch a high price... cough cough, Slowpoke is a protected Pokémon, and its naturally shed tails are quite valuable food."
Hearing this, Ye Yinchuan thought to himself:
"Did this guy accidentally let something slip?"
If Ye Yinchuan remembered correctly, Team Rocket did something bad in the game: they cut off the tails of all the Slowpokes in a town and then sold the tails for a high price...
So, this is something the Rockets are really capable of doing!
Ye Yinchuan felt that Xiao Ran was becoming increasingly suspicious.
But what troubled him was that the other party was clearly not so easy to fool. If his intuition was correct, the Pokémon on this island were probably in for a lot of trouble!
Even if I describe Nargacuga in the worst possible light, it is still a rare Pokémon that has just been discovered, and the other party will definitely try to find out its value!
Especially now, Ye Yinchuan is even more aware of a problem.
That means the uninhabited island the other side found might not actually be within China's borders. In that case, China's Pokémon Center and Dream Protection Bureau might not be able to intervene...
"How about we just get one tested and then withdraw?"
Ye Yinchuan felt a chill run down his spine; he simply couldn't bear to stand idly by and watch the Pokémon's safety.
But let alone being on screen, even if you were physically present in front of such a large corporation, there's nothing you can do!
"No... What's the difference between ending it now and burying your head in the sand? Not only will it not change anything, but it will also cost us our only chance..."
Ye Yinchuan's thoughts flashed by in an instant, and the internal struggle was already over.
He had to grit his teeth and continue the call, while secretly contacting colleagues from the Dream Protection Bureau and the Elf Center to observe the situation and determine whether the other party was a criminal organization.
"Speaking of which, the Laplace case seems to still be under investigation, and there haven't been any results yet... Now there's another suspected case. The Pokémon world is certainly full of undercurrents."
Ye Yinchuan sighed slightly.
"This natural-born finny's IVs are at most C-rank, and it's even possible it's D-rank. Its ability is Early Bird..."
Here, he tried to portray the natural sparrow as "useless" to reduce the other party's interest.
At the same time, he also made a targeted response:
"This Nargacuga is nothing like Slowpoke. Slowpoke's tail at least proves it's edible, but this Pokémon on this deserted island...it might be carrying some kind of virus. I estimate its most valuable asset is its feathers, maybe they can be used as decorations!"
It's rare to hear a streamer talk about such a useless Pokémon.
[Tsk tsk, this wild sparrow looks so abstract. You'd have to have a really unique taste to keep it as a pet!]
But I think it's quite cute, and I'd like to get one...
"Ahem, Pokémon transactions must be conducted through legitimate platforms with verified legal qualifications. Illegal Pokémon trading could lead to serious trouble, like what happened to Lapras's owner last time!"
It's impossible to guard against such things. That guy from Laplace last time, didn't he also get scammed through a legitimate platform?
So he's alright, there's still a chance to get the money back... If it were truly an illegal transaction, he probably would have lost both the money and the Pokémon!
The person on the other end of the line remained expressionless and smiled:
"Don't worry, streamer. My exploration team is experienced and operates legally and compliantly. We are all professional trainers, and each of us has a monthly trading quota of six Pokémon and six Pokémon Eggs or more. In special circumstances, we can apply for additional quotas."
Ye Yinchuan nodded: "That would be best."
"Please help me look at the next one, streamer. Everyone's time is precious."
The person in the liaison, hearing Ye Yinchuan's low opinion of Nargacuga, lost interest and could only pin their hopes on other discovered Pokémon.
When a new Pokémon is presented in the cage.
A flawless version after careful inspection!
Ye Yinchuan's pupils also suddenly contracted.
Another Psychic-type Pokémon? What's going on with this island...?
No wonder people sometimes complain in the chat that there are so many people with superpowers in their live streams!
This Pokémon resembled a giraffe calf, with a yellow upper body covered in brown spots, while its lower body and spots were the opposite colors...
It has a pair of white round antennas on its head and triangular pink protrusions on its back.
But the most distinctive feature of this Pokémon is that it has an extra head on its rear end. Although it's small and round like a ball, it has eyes and a mouth.
"This is Giratina, a Normal/Psychic type Pokémon."
Ye Yinchuan knew that in this world, Qilinqi and Natu were in similar situations, both being undiscovered Pokémon, and he never expected that they would both be on a small island.
[Another superpower-themed story?]
[This island seems to be something special, with so many Psychic-type Pokémon!]
[Never seen this before... I can't find it anywhere by searching, I can only listen to the streamer's explanation!]
"It's also a psychic type? No wonder, when we tried to capture this... Qilinqi, its tail released a special energy; now it seems it was telekinesis!"
The roster has very high expectations for this Pokémon.
After all, just by looking at the difficulty of catching it, you can tell that this Qilin is much harder to catch than the natural bird!
Their combat prowess alone puts them on a completely different level.
Upon hearing the description, Ye Yinchuan sighed inwardly. Sure enough, it was impossible to fool them.
While observing and interacting with these Pokémon, the other party had already gathered a considerable amount of information. Furthermore, as professional trainers, their knowledge of Pokémon and their grasp of information were exceptional…
For example, you might say that the evolved form of Nargacuga is not good, but the other party immediately gives the example of Slowpoke. It's impossible for them to give up on exploring and discovering its value just because of one sentence from you.
At the same time, the heads of the Pokémon Center and the Dream Protection Bureau also responded to Ye Yinchuan one after another.
The basic response was that they had attempted to track him via his web address and were investigating the true identity and circumstances of "Explorer R"...
Now, what Ye Yinchuan needs to do is to keep the other side calm and buy them time.
"In this situation, there's no need for me to hold back anymore. If I try to hide things, the other party might realize I'm deliberately concealing something, lose patience, and end the call at any time."
Thinking to himself, Ye Yinchuan decided to give Qilin Qi a serious and comprehensive explanation.
"Yes, the physiological structure of the Pokémon Giratina is very special. Its head, although too small to think independently, is an important organ for it to exert its Psychic-type abilities."
Have you ever heard of the sixth sense? It's a sixth sense besides the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and tongue, used by the brain to sense the surrounding situation and even predict the future.
One theory suggests that the head on Qilinqi's back is equivalent to the organ of a human's sixth sense.
[This seems a bit far-fetched. How did the streamer know all this?]
[Dude, we've never even heard of this Pokémon, how do you know so much about it?]
So... just how many Pokémon in this world are we unaware of?
Ye Yinchuan continued:
"Qilinqi's head can also be understood as its special tail. When Qilinqi's front head is eating, its back head will also react, as if it is eating as well..."
Furthermore, this brain basically never sleeps, so it can detect its surroundings 24/7. If you approach recklessly, you'll be attacked!
Listening to Ye Yinchuan's introduction, the person on the other end nodded. He originally knew nothing about Pokémon, but after hearing this, he seemed to understand it all at once.
"So, this Pokémon's strength?"
"Quite good. Even without evolution, it's equivalent to the second stage of the starter Pokémon. As for its ability, it's likely to be any one of Inner Strength, Herbivore, or Early Bird... If it's Early Bird, it's relatively weaker in actual combat."
Ye Yinchuan seemed to have returned to his normal live-streaming rhythm, speaking freely and without reservation.
"That's great, so can it still evolve?"
"It can evolve, and the evolved form is very strong, equivalent to the final form of the starter Pokémon. Because of its Psychic type, its combat power, depending on the level of training, can be said to be even greater... The only difficulty is that the conditions for evolution are quite demanding, which I don't know."
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Yinchuan decided to keep some information to himself.
"What a pity, streamer. If you had known, even if it required a huge reward, we would have definitely gotten it."
The person on the other end of the line hinted at something, even leaving room for embarrassment.
"If you hear from any other streamers, I hope you can give me a chance."
[This makes me a little curious. What are the evolved forms of Qilinqi and Tianranzhu?]
[Yes, host, do you have any information you could share?]
Suddenly, Ye Yinchuan thought of something and, as if possessed, used [Listen to Your Heart].
He raised an eyebrow, his expression hardening.
Because he heard the cacophony of Pokémon's inner thoughts—the sheer number was astonishing!
"Xiao Ran, could you tell me exactly how many people are in your team?"
Although it was a bit strange that the host suddenly asked this question, the person on the other end thought about it and, without much thought, gave an answer:
"About fifteen people."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan's heart skipped a beat, and he roughly understood the situation.
There's definitely something wrong with the person you're talking to on the phone!
At least one thing is clear: they have most likely violated the rules!
Because Ye Yinchuan could tell from his thoughts that at least two hundred Pokémon had been captured and controlled in the ship's cabin!
As a unique ability provided by the system, this operation can be accomplished with a little concentration.
If we follow the person who connected, even if there are fifteen people, each a professional trainer, and they each have an average of six Pokémon...
They can legally capture a maximum of ninety...
But now there are nearly two hundred, which is more than double the number!
And judging from their appearance, they don't seem to be planning to leave; it seems they want to capture more Pokémon from the island!
Ye Yinchuan's heart sank. He could only continue to stall for time, giving the Dream Protection Bureau and the Pokémon Center room and opportunity!
Are there any other Pokémon?
"We've found two more now, streamer, could you please take a look at them too?"
The informant was unaware that, despite his flawless actions, Ye Yinchuan had unexpectedly seized upon his weakness and exposed his illegal and criminal activities...
Pokémon exceeding the permitted quantity are considered poaching and will not be approved by customs or trade inspection authorities...
This means that these extra Pokémon will most likely end up on the black market or be traded illegally in private!
"continue……"
Ye Yinchuan tactically took a sip of water and continued the identification!
