Chapter 266 A Pokémon very similar to Puffin! Not a Bug type, but a Grass type!
Chapter 266 A Pokémon very similar to Puffin! Not a Bug type, but a Grass type! A good father!
"As expected of a professional trainer exam, this resource library is truly abundant; they even managed to capture a picture of Mewtwo..."
Looking at this question, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but have many thoughts.
He previously used conventional search engines but found no clues about Mewtwo and Mew...
However, it appeared in the questions of the professional exam.
This means that someone encountered Mewtwo and took a picture. This information is quite valuable, so it is almost impossible to find outside the network. Or perhaps it was lost in the vast amount of data on the Internet because there was only one picture and no other information.
"So, Mewtwo really does exist in this world. Has it been cloned, or even escaped?"
Ye Yinchuan pondered this, his attention returning to the question itself: of these three Pokémon encountered in the wild, which one posed the least danger...?
Which one should it be?
First, using the process of elimination, Mewtwo is definitely the most dangerous, based on Ye Yinchuan's understanding of Mewtwo's behavior.
The remaining issues are Celebi and Suicune.
Actually, both of these Pokémon are quite friendly to humans.
But Ye Yinchuan knew very well that he couldn't rely solely on his own ideas to make judgments; he had to consider the unique characteristics of this world...
"Suicune currently enjoys an excellent reputation in this world. It is one of the three legendary beasts and a universally recognized friendly legendary beast... Although Celebi also seems harmless, its greater mystery and unknown nature mean uncertainty and danger..."
At the same time, Ye Yinchuan also wondered if being accidentally dragged into the spacetime turbulence by Celebi would be a danger to people.
And so, Ye Yinchuan made his choice and won the points for the last question.
As expected, in the eyes of the question setter, Suicune was the least dangerous Pokémon.
Celebi and Mewtwo are both listed as mysterious and unknown Pokémon. Mewtwo, in particular, is explicitly stated to have a history of attacking humans. If you encounter it in the wild, do not approach it, and do not attempt to capture or catch it.
In the problem analysis, Mewtwo is referred to as a "dangerous humanoid Pokémon".
Celebi, on the other hand, is known as the "mysterious grass-type Pokémon".
[What kind of Pokémon is this? It looks like an alien, but it's kind of cool, what's up with that?]
[These adorable Pokémon aren't the least dangerous?]
[Suicune, one of the Three Legendary Beasts, laughing and joking with you? If Suicune is available, I'll definitely choose Suicune. There's basically no danger, and it might even protect us!]
There has been some discussion about the answer to this question, but there isn't much controversy.
Because of the Three Holy Beasts' behavior, which has become so deeply ingrained in people's minds in this world, their friendliness towards humans has almost become common knowledge.
"Take it down!"
Looking at his final exam score of 65, Ye Yinchuan smiled with satisfaction.
After the exam, Ye Yinchuan received his interview queue number, which indicated that all slots for today's exam were filled, and he could schedule appointments for the next few days.
Ye Yinchuan glanced at the list and saw that the waiting list was already for three days from now.
He quickly booked the earliest available date, which was expected, as Ye Yinchuan's problem-solving speed was still a bit slow.
That's good, though, because it gives me more time to prepare for the interview questions.
After all, interviews might also test theoretical knowledge.
For the next few days, Ye Yinchuan continued his live stream as usual...
@AdventureLovers: [Host, didn't you identify Puffin before? I have a Pokémon that looks similar to Puffin, could you help me identify it?]
Seeing this comment, Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow and decisively accepted the call.
[Connection successful!]
With the notification, Ye Yinchuan also saw the location of the contact person, who was in a wilderness area surrounded by grass and trees.
Without saying much, the person on the other end of the line turned the camera and focused on something in the tree.
On this sturdy tree, many large fruits were hanging.
Aren't these just ordinary tree fruits?
[Similar to Pineco? Could it also be a Bug-type Pokémon?]
It looks very smooth...
Just then, a Bobo flapped its wings and flew up to peck at one of the tree fruits.
Suddenly, the tree fruit opened its eyes, stretched out its two legs, and let out a scream...
This startled Bobo so much that it immediately bristled, let out a panicked cry, and made a sharp turn in mid-air, fleeing in a sorry state.
At this moment, the rows of tree fruits began to sway, making sounds like children's laughter.
[Is that really Pokémon? This scene is actually quite scary.]
Look how scared that Bobo is! How wicked!
[Aren't these acorns? Don't you all recognize them? Just being playful... but why are there so many acorns on this tree...? It's definitely a bit unusual.]
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan was also observing the situation on the live feed.
The situation of the Pokémon in front of us has already been revealed by the comments. It is not a little-known Pokémon. It just often disguises itself as a Berry and performs rather mediocrely, so not many people pay attention to it.
"Host, I know the rules, but I hope you can help me pick out a good acorn. My child watched your live stream before and kept asking to raise a Hazelnut, but aren't Hazelnuts prone to exploding at any time?"
I thought it was too dangerous and really unsuitable for children, so I thought of acorns as a substitute for hazelnut balls. I asked him about it, and he said acorns weren't a bad option, but you had to choose the best one.
The person on the other end of the line spoke with a quiet pride, clearly indicating that fulfilling the child's wish was something to be proud of.
He is truly a good father.
Haha, hazelnut balls are really too dangerous; they can easily result in total destruction.
"Well……"
Ye Yinchuan hesitated, but decided it was better to make things clear.
"Actually, if the acorn is of a higher level, it also has a chance to learn the 'Big Bang' move."
"this……"
The person connected was quite embarrassed, "No wonder they look and behave similarly to hazelnuts, they both like to self-destruct, huh? Well then, what about me..."
"It's harmless. Before the evolution of the long-nosed leaf, very few acorns were able to master the Big Bang. And I'll teach you a way to identify it: just get close and smell the acorn. If you can smell something like sulfur or gunpowder, it means that explosive substances have begun to accumulate inside it. This is the basis for them to learn and use the 'Big Bang' move."
In addition, if you're worried about the reliability of this method, observe the thread-like parts on their heads; if you can see gold, it's the same principle.
[It has to be a live streamer; they really share valuable content!]
[Not bad, not bad. If you want a "Big Bang" acorn, you can think about it the other way around, right?]
To be honest, Acorn is a pretty average Pokémon. Even after evolving into Leafeon, its strength is just so-so, and it's rather mischievous, always trying to scare people... It's not strong and it's not good-looking either, so I don't like it.
Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan's expression shifted slightly, and he spoke:
"Putting everything else aside, Pokémon like Leafeon can still evolve. It's just that many people may not know that."
This comment immediately sparked a flurry of activity in the live chat.
[Oh? Is that so? Long-nosed Leaf can actually evolve?]
[Is Zun Du fake? I always felt that Long-nosed Leaf was a bit weak, and it didn't look like its final evolution form!]
Uh... can I say I've never even seen a long-nosed leaf?
"The evolved form of the long-nosed leaf is called sly tengu. Generally, once it evolves into this form, it hides in the deep mountains and forests, living a peaceful life... This Pokémon is close to humanoid, and its appearance is similar to the tengu in mythology. In some areas, it is considered to be the god of the forest..."
Ye Yinchuan explained the evolution of the long-nosed leaf.
[A cunning Thousand Dog? This is the first time I've ever heard of such a Pokémon.]
"Hmm... indeed, you can find unknown Pokémon in some forests, some even humanoid, and who knows, maybe even a Sharp-tongued Tengu!"
"By the way, someone just said that Acorn is a Bug-type Pokémon like Pistol, which is a complete misconception. Acorn is a Grass-type Pokémon. After evolving into Leafeon and Stranglethorn, it will also gain the Dark type. Actually, this was already evident when Acorn was evolved, because they are quite mischievous and like to play pranks."
"That streamer..."
The person on the other end hesitated, his only purpose being to ask Ye Yinchuan to help him choose a better acorn suitable for the child.
Of course, he was also interested in the future development of acorns, but this matter was always on his mind.
Ye Yinchuan nodded, understanding what the person on the other end of the line meant.
He couldn't explain much about the cunning tengu because there were no examples.
"Okay, hold the camera steady and aim it at each one. I'll help you find them."
The identification process begins.
"This acorn's ability is 'Steal,' which allows Pokémon to steal things from their owners without being seen..."
Wait a minute? There aren't even any acorns in the hand, how can you steal them?
Ye Yinchuan immediately stated:
"Acorns with this characteristic have considerable potential in the Dark type. They instinctively use Dark energy to create energy limbs and steal things from their targets. If utilized and developed properly, they can also be used in actual combat."
[Energy Hands? I've heard that some Pokémon without hands can conjure them from energy, and the same applies to other organs. These energy organs not only don't get injured, but sometimes they even become more flexible! But that's a rather advanced technique! Does the streamer mean this Acorn was born with it?]
This is the first time I've heard of this characteristic...
"This ability has one serious drawback: the user will have a strong liking for stealing... However, if you encounter a wild Pokémon with valuable items, such as berries or evolution stones, this ability becomes very appealing. If the Dark-type traits are prominent, the user's personality can also be unruly, so proper guidance and training are essential. Otherwise, there are no major issues..."
Upon hearing Ye Yinchuan's assessment of the acorn, the person on the other end of the line pondered:
"I don't know if my child will like it, or if they'll be able to handle it..."
Just then, his phone rang; it was his son calling.
"Dad, this is it! I want this one! Okay? Power Hand is so cool! I'll definitely study Pokémon knowledge hard and raise it well!"
Hearing that innocent yet cheerful voice, Ye Yinchuan's lips curled up in a smile.
What a wonderful father and son.
[Haha, I don't know if his son will be able to stand on the podium, but he certainly won't be in heaven!]
I'm so envious of having such a great dad.
The person in charge couldn't resist his son's pleading and decisively locked onto this acorn.
However, just as the connector was directing his Pokémon—
A Bulbasaur used its Vine Whip to precisely entangle the acorn.
Ye Yinchuan could tell at a glance that this Bulbasaur was of a very high level and was on the verge of evolution. Dealing with a low-level Calamity like Acorn was a piece of cake for it, and it could be easily crushed!
Sensing the danger, the other acorns on the tree fell from the branches and scattered in all directions...
Just when everyone, including Ye Yinchuan, thought the situation was settled, a melodious grass flute sound came from above. The person in charge couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound and saw a long-nosed leaf picking a leaf from its head and playing it.
The sound of this grass whistle seems to possess a special magic, causing both the Connector and Bulbasaur to feel dazed and somewhat unsteady...
"It's a long-nosed leaf! It must be trying to protect this acorn!"
Upon seeing this, Ye Yinchuan quickly explained.
The wild long-nosed leaf's eyes were full of hostility, and Ye Yinchuan also read it through his mind: this acorn was its offspring!
"The sound of the long-nosed leaf grass flute possesses a special power; it can bewitch people's minds. Stop it quickly, or you will be in danger!"
Ye Yinchuan spoke up to remind him.
Although the long-nosed leaf was right to protect the cubs, he was still a human and couldn't sit crookedly.
Wild Pokémon can be very aggressive when their young are threatened. If the Grass Whistle of the Longnose Leafman controls the Linker and Bulbasaur, their lives will be in danger. Ye Yinchuan can tell which is more important!
"Bulbasaur, stop it!"
The person communicating with their Pokémon saw Bulbasaur's Vine Whip fly out, attacking Noseleaf, but Noseleaf's body emitted a "hardening" glow, making Bulbasaur's Vine Whip seem like it had hit a metal plate, causing no real damage...
"The nose, its weakness lies in the nose!"
Ye Yinchuan quickly added that the person in charge was also urgently communicating with Bulbasaur.
This time, the vine whip struck the nose of the long-nosed leaf, and as expected, it produced a remarkable effect, abruptly stopping the long-nosed leaf's grass whistle-like sound...
Both the Wireshark and Bulbasaur broke free from the state of near-control and mental confusion.
"It's a success!"
Having interrupted the attack by the long-nosed leaf, the crisis was averted, and the person on the other end felt somewhat relieved.
However, at that moment, even more long-nosed leaves gathered around, each holding a leaf in its hand.
The long-nosed leaf looks like a tiny person who has grown from an acorn, with fruit-like textures on its legs, an exceptionally long nose, a mask-like and eye-cover-like face, and a leaf on its head...
They carry fallen leaves on their bodies, or in emergencies, they pluck leaves and blow them on the grass to warn intruders, or perhaps to control their minds.
[Oh no, so many long nose leaves! This guy's in danger!]
Hang in there, your son is still waiting for you at home!
[Host, please think of something to help it!]
Upon seeing this, Ye Yinchuan's heart sank, and two strategies flashed through his mind.
One option is to abandon the acorn and escape quickly; perhaps there's a glimmer of hope.
Another possibility is a more villainous tactic: taking the acorn hostage and threatening the long-nosed leaves with its life...
However, neither of these methods has a complete success rate, and they also conflict with each other...
Failure could lead to utter ruin.
However, in that brief moment of distraction, the person on the other end of the line was completely captivated by the sound of the long-nosed leaf's whistle, and the phone in their hand fell directly to the ground.
From the current perspective, all you can see is the person on the other end of the line wandering around.
Meanwhile, Bulbasaur also looked like it was about to give out.
[Oh no! Is this guy going to be the first victim of a failed adventure in the streamer's livestream?!]
[That's too cruel... I believe in the streamer, he'll definitely save him! The child can't be without a father! And such an excellent father at that!]
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan also felt a little heavy-hearted.
But he seemed to have no way to solve it...
"I have to... Bulbasaur has to hold on... If I can't hold on either... then I won't be able to get home safely with my master... My little master, and Mom, are waiting for us at home!"
Upon hearing Bulbasaur's inner thoughts, Ye Yinchuan's pupils contracted, and his heart skipped a beat.
And at that moment, he saw hope—
A powerful evolutionary light is erupting from Bulbasaur's body!
Its inner belief in protecting its owner and family accelerated its evolutionary process.
Bulbasaur!
With a deep, resolute roar, Bulbasaur's body rapidly expanded, becoming like a small mountain. The flowers and plants behind it bloomed quickly, even forming the shape of a tree. The huge flowers, resembling those of a giant violet, exuded a powerful aura.
Its limbs became thicker to support its evolved body...
At this crucial moment, Bulbasaur evolved into Venusaur!
The move is called "Falling Petals"!
The Grass-type energy erupted, conjuring countless flowers that, like a blizzard, spread outwards from Venusaur as the center, sweeping away the long-nosed leaves and silencing their grass flute sounds!
The person who had been under mind control also recovered. Looking at the long-nosed leaves around him and the Venusaur in front of him, he was both surprised and frightened. He picked up his phone without thinking.
Sensing Venusaur's power, the surrounding long-nosed leaves all showed fear and receded like a tide.
But only one Leafeon, the very first Leafeon to arrive, had a resolute gaze, staring intently at the acorn entangled by Venusaur's Vine Whip, unwilling to leave.
Is this long-nosed leaf really that brave? All the others were scared away, but it's still here?
Could it be that the acorn was its offspring?
The viewers in the live chat have already guessed the relationship between the two Pokémon. Only this relationship makes logical sense. Why is it that only this Leafeon refuses to give up when facing a powerful enemy?
"Yes, it is this acorn's...father."
Looking into the resolute eyes of the long-nosed Ye Jianyi, Ye Yinchuan could still sense the deep-seated fear in his heart.
Longnose Leaf knew that the evolved Venusaur was very powerful... even the unevolved Ivysaur wouldn't stand a chance in a one-on-one fight...
But with her own child right in front of her, how could she just give up and leave!
Long-nosed Leaf has resolved to fight to the very last moment...
Even if it means sacrificing myself, it would be worth it to give my child a chance to escape!
