Chapter 251 A Different Colored Treecko? A Red Dragon Tail! Special Dragon-type Gene? Galarian Slowp
Chapter 251 A Different Colored Treecko? A Red Dragon Tail! The Trait "Dragon-Type Gene"? Galarian Slowpoke Returns!
"Wait, there's something to this one too. The double-egg move, Deadly Needle plus Sword Dance, allows Sword Dance to significantly boost attack and momentum, while Deadly Needle, if it can break through the opponent's marked weakness, can greatly increase its destructive power..."
Furthermore, its special ability is Insect Sense, which, combined with other abilities, creates a very strong system and combination... The only drawback might be its slightly low Individual Values (IVs), barely placing it in the upper-middle tier of C-rank.
[This... it seems like the streamer can make anything sound amazing, even Pokémon?]
If I hadn't watched the live streams for so long, I sometimes really would have thought the streamer was just talking nonsense!
[Go ahead and raise them, just follow the streamer's advice, they'll all be incredibly powerful, and they'll all be silent once you raise them!]
[As I said before, many Pokémon may have potential and talent, but only the streamer saw it.]
Ye Yinchuan smiled as he looked at the comments on the screen.
As he has said before, sometimes the purpose of his live streams is to prevent those Pokémon that should shine from being buried, and to give people a proper understanding of those ordinary Pokémon.
This is a very fulfilling thing, and the joy it brings is no less than that of earning money.
It should be noted that the difference between the Fatal Needle Strike move in reality and in the game is quite significant.
In the game, you need to defeat your opponent to gain a huge attack power boost.
In reality, however, the Deadly Needle Sting has a pre-emptive action: it automatically marks a weak point on the target...
Then there's a needle-prick action; if you hit the weak point mark, the damage will be greatly increased.
To use an analogy, it's a bit like the passive ability of a character called Fiora in a 5v5 game, which automatically refreshes a weakness mark on the target. Attacking the mark will deal extra damage.
Soon, all of the Pokémon and eggs belonging to the Connector were identified.
Ye Yinchuan's appraisals were getting faster and faster, until he didn't even need to pretend anymore; his reputation in the martial arts world was that of the "light-speed appraisal technique."
There were some livestreamers who tried to imitate the scam, but they were quickly exposed as frauds, completely fabricating stories, and were even revealed to have difficulty reading from a script properly...
Ye Yinchuan has had no scandals so far, which makes some people who want to gain popularity by exposing frauds shake their heads.
"Thank you, streamer! With your help, I think we'll soon be able to breed an excellent Snorkel, the kind we can use in battles! If we succeed, I'll definitely come back to report the good news!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan nodded and ended the call.
As one live stream ends, a new one begins…
"What? I encountered a Gardevoir carrying a large root in the wild? Hmm... that's normal, don't make a fuss!"
"The leaves on your chrysanthemum are yellow... but the whole plant is all wrinkled. You're telling me this is an unusual color? It's clearly severely dehydrated!"
"This Torchic is shiny, can't you tell? Its plumage is the opposite of a normal Torchic. You're such a careless trainer... Hmm, it's just shiny, nothing special, its IVs are pretty good..."
@AhMuMu: [Host, my wood gecko looks very different from the usual ones. Could you help me identify it? Is it a polychrome gecko? Is there anything special about it?]
[Connection successful!]
With the prompt, Ye Yinchuan quickly saw the extraordinary gecko the other party had mentioned.
His eyes lit up; the contrasting color scheme was simply too classic.
Shiny Pokémon have different colors.
Some of the different colors feel perfunctory, like they just changed the color randomly; some are very abrupt, even very ugly, to put it bluntly, they're just a blob.
However, some variants give off a completely different vibe, as if they were carefully designed and perfectly match the Pokémon's original image and characteristics, even looking better than the original.
This wooden gecko in front of us is a perfect example.
Moreover, Ye Yinchuan had an impression of this variant, after all, it was one of the three starter breeds and a rather beautiful variant.
Let me first describe the appearance of a normal wood gecko.
It's a small lizard that can stand on two legs, with a very well-developed tail that is split into two, just like the head of the gecko. Both sides are very full and split along a seam in the middle, which can be considered a design echo.
Since we're talking about different colors, the key is the color of the Wood Gecko. It's green overall, with a darker tail, a red belly, and yellow eyes.
This variegated gecko has a blue-green body, a creamy white belly, and a striking red tail.
It's often said that red and green clash terribly, but the color combination of the gecko has a harmonious beauty.
What's most remarkable about this game is that this unique color persists through the next two evolutionary forms, with virtually no significant changes...
The beauty of this color scheme lies in the fact that, in the Pokémon lore, blue and red are the colors of many Dragon-type Pokémon.
Treecko is a reptile-type Pokémon, and this color scheme immediately gives it a dragon-type feel, instantly elevating its status.
Of course, these are just Ye Yinchuan's personal feelings and do not represent everyone.
After all, aesthetics are inherently subjective!
"Host, please take a look and verify."
The person on the other end of the line said with great enthusiasm that his wood gecko was recently hatched.
It's obviously a different color from other Treeckoes, but as a Snorlax Detector fan, he still wanted to get it identified so he would have a better idea of its color.
After all, different colors can be good or bad. Some different colors are caused by mutations, while others are simply different colors...
The differences are quite significant.
Ye Yinchuan's eyes flashed; his discerning eye had already read the panel—
[Growlithe Pokémon: Treecko]
[Level: 5]
[Attribute: Grass]
[Gender: Male]
[Racial stats: C-rank (310)]
Individual Value: S-rank (199)
【Features: Lightweight】
[Personality: Cold]
[Evolution Path: Treecko - Grovyle - Sceptile]
[Skills: Slap, Leer, Leaf, Dragon Tail (Egg Move)]
Status: Healthy
[Trait: Dragon Gene]
This Treecko possesses a higher purity of Dragon genes. Besides its appearance differing from ordinary Treeckos, it is more likely to learn Dragon-type moves, master Dragon-type energy, and its Dragon-type moves are more powerful!
"...It seems that the expression of dragon genes is indeed closely related to red and blue."
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but think of the same type of blue cotton bird that had mastered the Dragon Breath technique at a low level.
This Treecko comes with a Dragon-type egg move, Dragon Tail!
"I always felt that Treecko's evolved form looked a lot like a dragon... and Treecko can also learn some Dragon-type moves, so it should have some Dragon-type blood and genes in it!"
While secretly marveling at the sight, Ye Yinchuan also revealed the results of his assessment of the wood gecko without reservation.
[Dragon genes...aren't these the same thing? How can you make money from this?]
[Wait, everyone says dragons are naturally lewd, so there's actually some truth to that? So many Pokémon have Dragon-type genes!]
That's so cool! That blood-red tail...it's a dragon's tail...the more I look at it, the cooler it gets!
"Wow, my Treecko is amazing! It was a lizard, but now it's a dragon? From what you're saying, it might even learn other Dragon-type moves, like Dragon Breath?"
"Theoretically, it is possible."
Ye Yinchuan thought for a moment and then nodded.
Because he remembered that Treecko had the opportunity to carry the Egg Move Dragon Breath.
It's generally very difficult to learn directly, but this Wood Gecko has superior Dragon Breath genes, so it should have a chance!
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is my first novel. (Reading)
Speaking of Treecko's shiny color and Dragon-type genes, Ye Yinchuan thought of Treecko's final evolution form, Sceptile, which also has a Mega Evolution form.
Mega Sceptile is a genuine Dragon-type Pokémon.
It's worth mentioning that in the original Pokémon lore, the Mega Evolution forms of some Shiny Pokémon are quite different from their non-Shiny counterparts.
For example, Gengar, a shiny Mega Gengar, will turn completely white, which would be really cool.
This is just too good! I'd call it the Wooden Guardian Dragon Palace!
Why do other people hatch eggs and get amazing specimens, while I only hatch eggs that have been released into the wild?!
Don't rush to throw away a Pokémon you hatch that isn't great. Have it appraised by a streamer. What if it's a hidden Pokémon? The neighbor's kid will be drooling with envy!
[Host, I'm a college student, I don't have money to send you gifts, can you connect with me?]
"Don't worry, family members. The online appraisal is free. As for gifts, it's up to you. Just give what you can afford."
Upon seeing the comments about sending gifts, Ye Yinchuan offered an explanation, and the appraisal of the variegated gecko came to an end.
But Ye Yinchuan's heart was still stirred. He couldn't help but recall when he played a certain generation of Pokémon games. Whether it was Torchic, Mudkip, or Treecko, they all felt so classic, including their evolution routes, which were all very distinctive.
As for the later starter characters, I don't know if it was a design issue or because I got older and my enthusiasm and attention to the game decreased, but they weren't as memorable.
Although there is some nostalgia, when I come to my senses, I realize that I am now in the Pokémon world. Isn't that more fun and immersive than playing a game?
A Treekia with Dragon genes? Is that even possible in a game? Probably only in fan-made games!
Thinking of this, Ye Yinchuan stroked the Hot Cat on the table and couldn't help but glance at his cute and beautiful Pokémon. Sometimes, when he was half asleep, Ye Yinchuan worried that everything that had happened since he transmigrated to this world was just a dream...
But the real tactile sensation in his hands and the lively and vivid Pokémon made Ye Yinchuan truly feel that he was in a living world, not a fake one.
"What's wrong? Shall I get you some water?"
Seeing Ye Yinchuan's gaze fixed on her, Bai Zhi blinked. She probably never knew what Ye Yinchuan was thinking at that moment!
"Okay, thank you."
Ye Yinchuan quickly refocused his attention on the live stream:
"Family members, this is the last live stream today. Is there anyone else who wants to watch?"
@DumbLiver:
[Host, handsome host, urgent help needed! After you identified the Slowpoke last time, our park's popularity skyrocketed, with many people coming to see that Slowpoke... Our park manager somehow managed to get another wild Slowpoke of the same type...]
According to professional assessment, its level is close to 40, which should be enough for evolution. However, we've tried many methods without success... So the principal sent me to consult you. Is our approach incorrect?
Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the long connection request.
Slowpoke zookeeper? Pokémon tourist attraction? Mutant Slowpoke?
When Ye Yinchuan connected the information in his mind, he immediately realized that it must be that live stream by Galarian Slowpoke!
I originally thought that the Slowpoke had just hatched and would take a long time to evolve, since Slowpoke's evolution requirements are not only to meet special conditions, but also to have a high level.
Unexpectedly, the park's director is quite a talent. He somehow managed to get another Galarian Slowpoke, and a high-level one at that, and then started tinkering with its evolution!
The purpose is obvious: to increase the popularity of the tourist park by taking advantage of the rarity and specialness of Galarian Slowpoke. If one Galarian Slowpoke can evolve while the other does not, the viewing experience will be maximized!
Ye Yinchuan could only say that this kindergarten director understands the importance of creating a good program!
This isn't a bad thing; it's a win-win situation.
Now that the tourist park has found its way, this will become a win-win situation for all parties.
The Slowpoke evolved, the tourist park gained visitors, and Ye Yinchuan will gain more visitors!
"catch!"
[You have accepted the connection request from user "Dumb Zookeeper"!]
[Connection successful!]
With the prompt, a somewhat familiar face appeared on the screen. Although wearing a mask, the eyes were as clear as a college student's, and the face had single eyelids.
Am I the only one who thinks the zookeeper looks a bit like a humanized Slowpoke?
[It was such a wise decision to ask the streamer about Pokémon evolution!]
Wait a minute, you mean there are two more of those yellow-headed, old-looking Slowpokes?
"Hello there."
"Hello, host! You finally saw me!"
The two greeted each other.
Ye Yinchuan got straight to the point: "To make it easier to distinguish them, how about we call that mutated Slowpoke 'Galarian Slowpoke'?"
"Well... streamer, that's fine. But we've already named those two Slowpokes!"
"What's your name?"
"The smaller one is called Spicy Dumb, and the bigger one is called Old Dumb Spicy."
[Hilarious! These names... one sounds like "so silly," and the other like "so old silly," right? You guys really nailed the pun!]
[I remember the streamer saying that this Slowpoke not only loves spicy food, but even its tail is spicy! And since it's old, it's very fitting!]
"Alright, alright... then let me see that 'Old Fool' thing."
Ye Yinchuan was also finding it difficult to remain calm.
The person on the other end of the line led the camera into a room, where a Galarian Slowpoke was present. Judging from its size and appearance, it was much larger than the previous one, and it certainly seemed to be of a higher level...
However, Slowpoke, being so slow-witted, is generally not dangerous even at high levels...
At that moment, a group of people were surrounding Slowpoke, and someone was holding a Shellder, trying to get the Shellder to clamp Slowpoke's tail.
"What are you doing here?"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but ask.
