As the live feed appeared, Ye Yinchuan narrowed his eyes:
"What are you doing...?"
In the scene, night has fallen, and the overall environment is quite dark.
The other person seemed to be carrying a lamp, which barely illuminated the surroundings, but if you were a little further away, you would be swallowed up by darkness.
Without lights, it would be pitch black.
In the darkness, a mound of earth could be seen, and neatly arranged on it were rows of graves, with tombstones and gray-white photographs faintly visible.
"Dude, are you really a gravedigger?"
Ye Yinchuan initially thought that the other party's name belonged to a hero in a game.
But now it seems that he is indeed as his name suggests?
"There's a difference, isn't there? Grave digging will land you in jail, but I'm paid by the government... Hehe, I'm a gravedigger, you can also call me the Pokémon graveyard manager."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Thankfully, he wasn't a tomb raider, otherwise he would have contacted the Dream Protection Bureau again.
In the Pokémon world, there are also some valuable items. Some owners will bury them with their deceased Pokémon, and some Pokémon corpses also have a certain value.
Therefore, the profession of tomb raider also exists in this world.
"Do the gravediggers watch the live stream too?"
"Of course. This cemetery is so big, and I'm all alone. I don't have much to do every day, so I like to watch live streams. I recently came across your short videos, and that's why I came here!"
"Coo coo!"
Just then, Ye Yinchuan heard the voice of a Pokémon.
"Your Pokémon?"
"Yes, my little gugu."
The gravedigger then shifted the camera to reveal a Pokémon with a unique design, even somewhat eerie in the dark, that appeared on screen.
[What kind of Pokémon is this? It only has one leg?]
[His head was tilted to the side, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was staring so wide—it was terrifying!]
After getting a clear look at the Pokémon, Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow and smiled:
"It's Goooo. People who like bird Pokémon should know about it, right? And Goooo actually has two legs, it just prefers to stand on one leg."
[Really? I never knew a cuckoo had two legs!]
Some viewers recognized GuGu in the comments, but they obviously didn't know this little-known fact.
"Haha, when I first met Gugu, I also thought it only had one leg and wondered what this strange thing was. Later I discovered that this guy likes to stand on one leg, and sometimes he will switch legs, but he switches legs very quickly, so it's hard to notice!"
The gravedigger found these comments very interesting.
He guards the grave alone. Although he has a cuckoo for company, he still feels lonely. Being able to interact with people online is a happy thing for him.
"Come on, Gugu, show them a quick foot-switching trick!"
At the gravedigger's command, Gugu obediently began to perform.
Sure enough, Gugu changed its feet very quickly. Even though it kept changing them, Ye Yinchuan could only see a few afterimages.
Fortunately, there are many talented people in the bullet comments section:
[I got a screenshot! It really is two feet!]
The speed at which Gugu changes its feet is almost beyond the limits of human vision.
But what the human eye cannot do, a machine can do by taking a screenshot!
This picture caused a huge stir, and many people started playing the "screenshot to Gugu's two feet" game, with pictures being posted one after another, which was proof of their success.
"The viewers are really cute."
Ye Yinchuan smiled and shook his head.
It has to be said that in the vast online world, there are some annoying people, but there are also many strange and adorable ones.
Being able to gather in Ye Yinchuan's live broadcast room is both a matter of fate and a form of recognition.
As they chatted and laughed, Ye Yinchuan also glanced at the little goose.
Its entire body is brown, with a beige belly.
The whole shape is round and plump, like a chicken leg standing up.
The eyes are large and red, with small black dots in the pupils. Around the eyes are something that looks like glasses or a mask.
Above, two protrusions resembling the hour hand of a clock form a "V" shape, like eyebrows; below, there are three protrusions on each side, resembling clock markers, like lower eyelashes.
The cuckoo's legs are quite thick, and one leg can support its entire body. It has five feet, four in the front and one in the back, and they are pinkish-flesh-colored, the same color as its beak.
The beak and the gugu's wings are both very small, which is strangely cute.
For Ye Yinchuan, Gugu was a typical example, and at first glance it was a bit scary.
But the more you look at them, the cuter they become.
"Gugu has a deep obsession with standing on one leg. Even when attacked, it will not easily stand on two legs. Some people speculate that this may be some kind of training it is undergoing."
Who just asked why the cuckoo is tilting its head? That's a habit of the cuckoo; it tilts its head at a fixed rhythm. If you know the cuckoo well enough, you can tell the exact time just by looking at the angle of its head tilt. It's said that this habit of the cuckoo is related to its ability to sense the Earth's rotation.
Therefore, the cooter has a very powerful biological clock, crowing at a fixed time every day. A trained cooter can be used to tell time, and even replace a clock.
Seeing the many questions and curiosities about Gugu in the comments, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but answer them.
Recently, besides before bed, he also uses his spare time to study Pokémon-related knowledge like crazy.
After all, you can't always cram at the last minute and learn something new on the spot.
There are people who keep Cuckoo, but some people who are not familiar with bird Pokémon don't know much about them.
Especially little-known facts like "the cuckoo actually has two legs".
On the contrary, its evolved form, the Night Hawk, is probably more well-known.
"Wow, host! You're really knowledgeable. I, someone who raises dogs, didn't know much about these things. All I know is that my dog crows at the same time every day to wake me up! This is really enlightening."
The gravedigger's tone held a hint of longing.
"I don't like reading books either, but sometimes I watch live streams to broaden my horizons. I really like streamers like you who have real talent!"
Ye Yinchuan smiled and nodded:
"That's great! It's what makes me happiest to share Pokémon knowledge with the audience. By the way, what about that special Charmander you mentioned, the one I've definitely never seen before? You're not just using clickbait to trick me into clicking, are you? If you are, I'll kick you out right now."
My attention was just diverted by the other party's identity as a tomb keeper and by Gugu.
Ye Yinchuan had not forgotten the purpose of accepting the call.
Although Gugu brought a good amount of discussion to the live stream, Ye Yinchuan was still more interested in the special little fire dragon mentioned by the gravedigger.
"No, no, no, streamer! I see that little fire dragon almost every night. It's really special. I'll take you to find it right now!"
Ye Yinchuan squinted at the live stream camera, his eyebrows furrowed, his expression one of doubt and disbelief.
The internet is full of truth and falsehood, who can tell the difference? Who knows if there are bored people deliberately teasing the streamer?
Especially with the recent surge in followers, it's easy to encounter troublemakers.
Therefore, Ye Yinchuan wouldn't say a word until he saw that special little fire dragon.
To avoid being made a fool of like a monkey, or watching a monkey show!
[Holy crap, exploring a cemetery so late at night?]
[Great! I knew the host would have some exciting shows!]
[A new script?]
Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan was also reminded of some memories.
His heart skipped a beat. Could it be some kind of Pokémon ghost or haunting again?
After the "decapitated Pikachu" and "ghost-faced guide fish" incidents, is another memorable live stream moment about to emerge?
These statements were not made up by Ye Yinchuan himself.
Instead, Kuang Xiaofeng edited his live stream into segments, creating the most popular video topics. This was quite a gimmick, and his videos garnered the highest clicks and views.
Thinking about the traffic it could bring, Ye Yinchuan wasn't so resistant; on the contrary, he had a slight sense of anticipation.
"Huh? Why didn't you come out today?"
The gravedigger scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. "Streamer, you have to believe me."
Do you believe him, or do you believe I'm the league champion?
"No rush, tell me what that little fire dragon looks like."
Ye Yinchuan's expression shifted slightly.
According to the gravedigger, he had seen the little fire dragon more than once, and the little fire dragon appeared frequently.
"That little fire dragon is very mysterious. It has bone spurs on its back, but no flames on its tail, and its head... looks like a skull!"
When the other party said these words, Ye Yinchuan's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
[The little dragon's tail has no flame... does that mean it's dead?!]
No, Charmander's back is very smooth.
[Holy crap! It's definitely a ghost! The head looks like a skull, the flesh must have rotted away!]
The comments on the screen pretty much summed up the reason why Ye Yinchuan was alarmed.
"Are you sure? This doesn't sound like a normal Pokémon. You still dare to go looking for it?"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but have doubts.
"What's the big deal? I can be a cemetery manager because I'm brave. If it really is a Pokémon ghost, I'd like to see it for myself. Besides, the Pokémon buried here were all once human companions, so even if they become ghosts, they shouldn't hurt me."
This job is not for the faint of heart!
[That makes sense, haha. Even if a kind Pokémon becomes a ghost, it should still be kind, right?]
Thank you, I'm suddenly not scared anymore...
Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow:
"You're completely wrong. First of all, even a kind Pokémon, when it becomes a ghost, may transform into a new ghost Pokémon, and may not have the original memories. It's a completely new species."
Secondly, even if we assume that the Ghost Pokémon are benevolent and friendly towards humans, it doesn't necessarily mean they won't harm us.
For example, one way they might play with you is by pulling your soul out of your body, or taking you somewhere else...
Furthermore, some ghostly Pokémon, even without doing anything, will uncontrollably absorb human life force!
After hearing Ye Yinchuan's explanation, the gravedigger's expression changed slightly: "Huh? That's so strange?"
The barrage of comments was also exploding:
[Host, please stop talking, I'm scared...]
[This is terrifying to think about!]
[My goodness, no wonder they say that even if you see a deceased relative, no matter how close or familiar you were, you shouldn't easily touch them! Is it the same principle?]
Upon seeing the last comment, Ye Yinchuan's mind went blank, and he got goosebumps.
The live footage, including shots of the cemetery, added a subtle yet palpable sense of unease, making it incredibly immersive!
Just then, some strange noises came from the other side.
"Crack...crack..."
It was as if something was gently colliding, mixed with some kind of weeping.
[Holy crap! That sound... it sounds like a corpse crawling out of its grave, the bones rubbing against each other because it's so badly decomposed!]
[That crying doesn't sound human at all! It sounds so mournful and sad! If it's a ghost Pokémon, it must be filled with resentment!]
【No way, are you guys writing ghost stories? It's terrifying!】
That's why people say that fear comes from imagination, and imagination is often the richest form of knowledge.
Looking at these comments, Ye Yinchuan felt a chill run down his spine.
"Luckily, I'm not the only one in the family..."
He quickly turned around and glanced at the ugly fish in the aquarium, which was silently staring back at him. He was so frightened that he shuddered.
I almost forgot that the ugly fish had already made its home here. I was startled when I saw it; I thought it was a ghost face!
However, seeing the peaceful look on Munchlax's face made Ye Yinchuan feel much better.
Ugly Fish: Shall I leave?
[Hilarious! Did you guys just see that? The streamer was terrified by his own ugly fish!]
That thing was really awful; I didn't dare stare at it. It was all tattered and ragged, and it felt really eerie!
After all, it was a live broadcast, and even the slightest move by Ye Yinchuan couldn't escape the sharp eyes of the public.
Ye Yinchuan covered his face, finding it somewhat amusing.
Being startled by one's own Pokémon—that's probably the first person to do that, right?
"Streamer, it must be that little fire dragon!"
The gravedigger was initially pleased to hear the voice, as he was about to see the special little fire dragon, proving he hadn't lied.
But after hearing Ye Yinchuan's explanation of the ghost Pokémon, he felt somewhat apprehensive.
But being bold, he took a deep breath and walked toward the direction from which the sound came.
"You all watched closely, I really didn't lie to you. Every time I found that little fire dragon and tried to get close, it would run away quickly!"
The gravedigger lowered his voice and reminded him.
"Keep it up, everyone in the live stream is waiting for you."
Ye Yinchuan also offered encouragement.
Since the gravedigger has encountered this so many times, it means there shouldn't be any major danger.
Whether it's Charmander or some Ghost-type Pokémon, your discerning eye will tell at a glance!
"We're almost there!"
The gravedigger was very familiar with the cemetery he managed.
Therefore, following the sound to find the place was a piece of cake.
Before long, the very special little fire dragon he had mentioned appeared on camera.
The gravedigger did not approach, but merely took pictures from a distance to avoid startling the little fire dragon.
At this moment, in the scene...
The little fire dragon only showed most of its body; its head was still hidden behind a tombstone.
Indeed, as the gravedigger said, there was no flame on the tail.
It has bone spurs growing on its back, and its head looks like a skull!
Perhaps due to the darkness of the environment, its body color does resemble the orange-red of a small dragon, but it is noticeably darker.
When Ye Yinchuan saw clearly what was supposed to be a little fire dragon in the camera lens, he smiled:
"Oh, it's you!"
Immediately, Ye Yinchuan was no longer afraid.
Because this wasn't Charmander or Ghost Pokémon at all, but rather a Pokémon that he was quite familiar with, or rather, had a deep impression of.
Of course, people in this world may know very little about it.
So much so that people might mistake it for Charmander or Ghost Pokémon.
Wow! What's that? It has two spikes on its back, is it a mutated little fire dragon?
[Holy crap, is it eating corpses and gnawing on bones?]
There really is no flame... This must be the ghost of Charmander!
That crying sound is so eerie...
At this moment, with the appearance of this "little fire dragon", the live stream chat exploded instantly.
The popularity of the live stream is also soaring.
Almost all new viewers who clicked in were captivated by the scene before them, and with intense surprise and curiosity, they were unlikely to leave for the time being.
"Hey streamer, what do you think? Isn't this little fire dragon special? Has no one else ever seen one like it before?"
The gravedigger's voice trembled slightly at this moment.
He was very excited to see so many people watching him, watching the little fire dragon he had discovered, and discussing it so enthusiastically.
At the same time, the unknown, seemingly ghostly little fire dragon in front of him also made him feel uneasy.
Especially the comments on the screen, they got more and more bizarre and scary!
Ye Yinchuan watched the gravediggers' reactions, his gaze sweeping over the comments, and he smiled meaningfully.
[A smile from the streamer can mean the difference between life and death!]
[I smell the big milk tank! The streamer's about to start showing off!]
[Damn! Quick, tear the streamer's mouth apart! Don't let this kid get away with this!]
At this moment, the new fans were still focused on Charmander.
However, longtime fans are very vigilant.
I can already smell that familiar aroma; it's still the classic recipe!
Joking aside, they are also very much looking forward to it.
What surprising statement will the host make next?
"You're all wrong, you're all wrong."
Ye Yinchuan spoke calmly, and it was his turn next.
Were we wrong again?
The gravedigger was also taken aback, realizing that Ye Yinchuan was already confident:
"Host, what do you mean? Have you already figured it out?"
"That's right. This isn't Charmander, nor is it any kind of Ghost Pokémon. It's not even... a Ghost-type Pokémon! That's why I said you're wrong, terribly wrong!"
[6. This streamer doesn't even have an appraisal certificate, nor is he a professional trainer, yet he's so arrogant?]
[Is that a Charmander? Or is it Squirtle? The streamer must be dumbfounded!]
[No, the streamer is wrong! This is definitely the ghost of Charmander. My grandfather is a Pokémon exorcist; he couldn't possibly be mistaken!]
Because of the rapid growth in fans, there are quite a few new fans, or people who just want to watch the excitement.
This group of people clearly hadn't witnessed Ye Yinchuan's true strength yet, so naturally, there were many voices of doubt.
But Ye Yinchuan just smiled.
His discerning eye had seen through everything; he was extremely confident!
The more dissenting voices there were, the more excited he became!
Especially these new fans who are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, they are all waiting to be understood by their own Pokémon, to be defeated by their inferiority, and then become the streamer's new batch of loyal believers!
Some longtime fans are already waiting to see the joke.
They knew Ye Yinchuan's strength best, and they didn't even bother to argue with those who had doubts.
The more arrogant they shout now, the more they'll be slapped in the face. Those who want to ride on the streamer's head and attack will only get slapped in the face and fall harder later!
[Host, please elaborate!]
[Waiting for the streamer's boast to fall flat!]
Both the gravediggers and the viewers in the live stream were waiting for Ye Yinchuan to give a real explanation.
"It's simple, I recognize this Pokémon. Its name is Cubone, and it's a very special and quite rare Pokémon."
Looking at the Caracalla's familiar classic design, plus the panel endorsement, it's clear that it has a similar look.
Ye Yinchuan has the truth in his hands and is invincible!
【The Lonely Pokémon: Cubone】
[Level: 9]
[Attribute: Ground]
[Gender: Male]
[Racial stats: C-rank (320)]
Individual Value: C (100)
【Characteristic: Hard Head】
Personality: Afraid of loneliness
[Skills: Mud Throwing, Barking, Tail Wagging, Point Attack]
[Status: Sadness, Longing]
[Evolutionary Path: Caracara - Garagara]
[Trait: None]
When Ye Yinchuan said this, the live stream chat went wild.
【Caracara? I'm Wabibabo!】
No matter how eloquently you speak today, this is still just a little fire dragon!
[Host, do you have any evidence?]
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush. Although Caracalla looks a bit like Charmander at first glance, they are actually two completely different species."
If you look closely, you'll see that Cara Cara's body is noticeably rounder, its tail is shorter, and its skin color is closer to brownish-gray.
The fact that it doesn't have fire is even more obvious. After all, Cubone is a Ground-type Pokémon.
Besides, who among you has ever seen a Charmander with bone spurs on its back? Is it bone hyperplasia?
[Haha, what the hell is this bone hyperplasia? The host is so funny!]
[That's true, now that you mention it, it seems quite different from Charmander.]
"Pokémon ghosts? That's utter nonsense. You see? This Cubone has a shadow."
While some Pokémon ghosts, or Ghost-type Pokémon, do have a physical form, they are either corpses or disguised with other objects.
Like Mimikyu that appeared in my live stream. Mimikyu itself has no physical form; it only appears to have a physical form because it is disguised as Pikachu using rags and wooden strips.
But look at this carala, its skin is plump and glossy, and its shadow is very clear. How can it resemble a ghost, a corpse, or a prop in disguise?
By the light of the gravedigger's lamp, one could indeed clearly see the situation Ye Yinchuan described.
Wow, I've learned something new!
That's true... but do these Pokémon really exist?
There are still many unknown Pokémon; we must maintain a sense of awe!
"Also, I don't know if you've noticed, but Caracalla only has one toe, while Charmander has three."
I'm impressed, the streamer is so meticulous!
[It seems the host really knows what he's doing; he explained it so clearly in such a short time...]
Okay... my grandpa's probably getting old, his eyesight is failing him a bit!
[Upstairs, you're making me laugh so hard, you're admitting defeat way too quickly...]
The gravedigger was also dumbfounded, and gave Ye Yinchuan a thumbs up:
"So, since it's a Pokémon, I don't need to be afraid at all, right? Host, I have another question for you."
Since Cubone is a Pokémon, why has it been crying in the graveyard every day lately? To be honest, it's starting to affect my rest and sleep.
Is there any way to solve this? I know the rules, if you can help me solve this problem, I'll send you a gift!
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan seemed to be deep in thought:
"Well... I can only say I'll give it a try. But whether it will work or not depends on the specific circumstances and requires further analysis."
This is a humble way of putting it.
It's still a three-in-one series, continuing with 12,000 words a day! Regarding the upcoming live stream episodes, while identifying new Pokémon each day, we might also address some foreshadowing regarding Pokémon and people encountered previously, or explore future developments to close the loop in the story. What do you all think?
