Chapter 467 A Pokémon that can emit a sweet fragrance to attract prey and float around like a ghost?
This Pokémon is terrifyingly powerful!
[Wow, that looks fierce! It has a really sharp mouthpart. Is this even a Grass-type Pokémon?]
Run!
At this moment, comments flashed across the screen, expressing astonishment and disbelief at the horrific and bloody scene.
[This streamer must have powerful connections; they haven't been banned despite this!]
[Wait, sexy verification, online censorship!]
[Ailao Forest? This is just the outer area! I can't even imagine how terrifying the Pokémon inside must be!]
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan was calmly observing the scene in the live broadcast room, trying to obtain some clues.
What kind of Pokémon could have such a ferocious hunting method? According to the person on the other end of the line, the attack on the deer happened in the blink of an eye. They only caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of their eye, and then it came closer. That was all they could see!
"That Pokémon has an incredibly strong bite force and sharp teeth. Judging from the deer's wound, its sharp, sword-like teeth were embedded directly into the flesh... and then it tore and gnawed away fiercely..."
Ye Yinchuan closed his eyes, trying to find information about this Pokémon. Among Grass-type Pokémon, there are not many with such a bite force. It cannot be completely ruled out that the Connector has misunderstood.
Are you sure it's a Grass-type Pokémon? Explain your reasoning.
Ye Yinchuan inquired, his gaze also noticing some marks on the tree that seemed to be entangled by something. What was it that allowed the Pokémon to move around in the tree...?
Is it a tail?
Or something else...
"Host, I couldn't see it very clearly. That thing was incredibly fast, from the moment it attacked to the moment it fled... The reason I suspect it's a Grass-type Pokémon is because its hands look somewhat like leaves, and its body is probably green, giving it a plant-like feel... Its overall shape is somewhat like a jellyfish. Oh, and its body must be very light, because it floated among the trees like a ghost!"
Upon hearing what the person on the other end of the line said, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but hold his breath.
That's too far-fetched.
It does sound a bit like Ghost Pokémon, but there doesn't seem to be any Grass-type Pokémon with a particularly strong bite force, right?
Could it be some kind of feature of the real world of Pokémon?
Ye Yinchuan did think of a Grass-type/Ghost-type Pokémon, namely the Nash-eating Grass and the Brutus. However, these Pokémon have nothing to do with bite force, and their hunting method is not to nibble or anything like that, but to directly suck the prey dry...
"hiss……"
Ye Yinchuan hadn't encountered such a difficult Pokémon problem in a long time, but this only aroused his desire for challenge and curiosity. What kind of Pokémon was this that was so mysterious?
The anchor frowned, realizing things weren't so simple!
[What do you mean? Are there Pokémon that the streamer doesn't recognize?]
I only suspect that the person connecting with the anchor is giving a false description; otherwise, the anchor would have known!
Ye Yinchuan also had a thought: it might be a mutated individual of a Grass-type Pokémon.
After all, in the Pokémon world, there are all sorts of special traits that might give a Pokémon that originally didn't have a strong bite force a powerful one...
In addition, inaccurate descriptions from the contact person can easily lead to misunderstandings and confusion.
Just as Ye Yinchuan was deep in thought, the person on the other end of the line exclaimed and pointed the camera at a spot not far away:
"Look, host! It's over there! It's floated by again!"
As the camera panned across the room, Ye Yinchuan's eyes, sharper than an eagle's, successfully caught sight of the Pokémon...
The Pokémon, just as the Wired Man had described, had a pair of leaf-like arms and a plant-like appearance. However, what the Wired Man hadn't specified was that this Pokémon didn't have legs; instead, it had many "tentacles." Ye Yinchuan could clearly see that this was indeed a structure similar to plant vines. In the center of its body was a yellow sphere, like a plant stem, with green spots on it...
This Pokémon has a flat, round head with horns that resemble those of a reptile, but are actually plant thorns. What's rather eerie, or rather frightening, is that from behind it, you can see its large, round eyes, which seem to be flattened and pasted onto its head...
Its gaping maw, with its sharp teeth, is clearly visible even from behind, demonstrating the extent of its open mouth!
Ye Yinchuan could only say that some Pokémon look alright in the games, or cute but a bit clownish in the anime...
But in reality, especially in certain specific environments and atmospheres, it becomes quite terrifying...
The Heavenly King himself has arrived! These are all demons!
Ye Yinchuan was somewhat taken aback upon seeing this person's imposing presence, let alone the people connected online and the viewers in the live stream. For them, in such dim lighting and with such a fleeting glimpse...
To be honest, I couldn't see it at all.
But the less you can see clearly, the more room there is for your imagination to fill in the blanks. As the saying goes, fear comes from imagination, and the more unknown something is, the greater the terror it can be!
[Holy crap, what is that thing? It floated by like a ghost, and I felt like it was glaring at me with the back of its head!]
Holy crap... that gaping maw, and its body covered in blood too, it's terrifying!
[You're telling me this is Pokémon? The Ailao Forest isn't a place for the average professional trainer!]
[Take care, buddy. This Pokémon looks like it could bite your head off in one bite...it looks like it's going to eat you!]
This is the scariest and ugliest Pokémon I've seen recently!
Clearly, the vast majority of viewers found it difficult to accept such Pokémon, and some even showed signs of rejection.
That's normal. Given the environment, the appearance, and the fact that it's a ferocious carnivorous predator, who wouldn't be afraid?
"Please calm down, everyone. I think I know what kind of Pokémon that is... It is indeed a mutated individual. Otherwise, this kind of Pokémon wouldn't be so ferocious. It's probably because the environment of the Ailao Forest is too harsh that this situation has occurred."
Ye Yinchuan's words acted like a stabilizing force, calming the restless hearts of the viewers in the live broadcast room.
[Oh? So the host knows what's going on!]
[An unfamiliar Pokémon, or perhaps a mutated individual? Interesting!]
So, is the person connecting with the camera in danger?
Ye Yinchuan's expression turned serious in response to the last comment:
"Of course there is. The Ailao Mountains are not a safe environment to begin with. This Pokémon has become quite ferocious due to its mutation; otherwise, it wouldn't have posed much of a threat. However, as long as you pay close attention and have your Pokémon protect you, with the strength of this liaison, escaping unscathed shouldn't be a big problem."
Upon hearing this, the contact felt a slight chill and became a little more cautious, as his personal safety was at stake and he couldn't afford to be careless.
He was afraid too.
"Host, I'll do whatever you say, but you absolutely have to guarantee my safety."
The person connecting first greeted Ye Yinchuan, then called his two Pokémon, Venusaur and Serperior, to come closer to him as his left and right protectors.
Venusaur is more honest and obedient, while Serperior is more composed and proud. However, both of these Pokémon are dutifully protecting their Linkers, which is a healthy relationship between Pokémon and their Trainers.
Ye Yinchuan nodded. This was the trust the contact person placed in him, and he couldn't let them down.
[Host, please tell me what Pokémon this is! I'm in a hurry!]
Could you please take a clearer photo? I can't even see what this Pokémon looks like...
[I got a screenshot, but that guy was moving too fast, it was just a blur!]
At this moment, a photo of that Pokémon was also posted.
Because the device has limited image capture capabilities, the images are very blurry, almost like mosaics, which makes the illustrations even more terrifying.
[This is so creepy! It feels like a monster that might float over and bite your head off when you're not looking!]
[I can't see anything clearly, how did the streamer know what kind of Pokémon it is?]
Ye Yinchuan didn't have time to reply to the comments; he was just thinking about how to get close to the Pokémon while ensuring the safety of the person on the other end of the line.
"It smells so good, host! I suddenly smell something... wait, why is it coming from that direction!"
The person on the other end of the line suddenly made a discovery, then was jolted awake by a terrifying possibility.
"Could it be...?"
Ye Yinchuan knew what the contact person wanted to say, and he said in a serious tone:
"That's right, just as you thought. That sweet scent is released by that Pokémon to lure its prey..."
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the line turned slightly pale.
The chat room was filled with horrified comments—
【No, they even use fragrance to lure people? What's the difference between that and a ghost?】
[I get it! If an unsuspecting trainer smells this sweet aroma, they'll definitely want to go and investigate... and might end up being hunted down by this Pokémon!]
"What should I do now, streamer? Should I just leave?"
The person connecting with the program started to back out.
Ye Yinchuan waved his hand:
"Don't panic. This Pokémon is still too weak; it's no match for you in a real battle. As a trainer, wouldn't you like to see its true form?"
The person on the other end nodded and took a slight breath. After all, he was a professional trainer with some skill and had some backbone.
"I came to Ailao Mountain hoping to discover some new Pokémon. If I can register them with the Pokémon Center, I can get a lot of points and rewards."
Thinking about this, the Connector's idea gradually became firm. As a trainer, raising Pokémon requires a lot of resources and money. Therefore, basically, apart from the very wealthy, everyone needs to find ways to acquire resources and wealth.
"Go over there in a moment and observe the trees carefully. This kind of Pokémon hides in the trees, disguises itself as a plant, and then launches a fierce attack on its prey..."
The person on the other end of the line seemed thoughtful:
"No wonder I didn't notice it when it wasn't moving; it must have disguised itself as a plant and blended in with the surrounding trees!"
Soon, at Ye Yinchuan's signal, the person in the contact walked towards the direction from which the fragrance was coming, which was the direction the Pokémon had just drifted.
He kept scanning the surroundings with his phone camera, and Ye Yinchuan and the viewers in the live stream followed his perspective to observe the surroundings. They saw that the area was lush with vegetation, with all sorts of plants growing there, including mushrooms and even some flowers on the trees...
Everyone stared wide-eyed and held their breath, searching for the Pokémon's hiding place...
The tension and excitement were palpable.
"Don't move, it's the one in front of you!"
Ye Yinchuan's eyes flickered, and he quickly made a discovery. His eyesight was already extraordinary, and he also had the ability to spot treasures and listen to thoughts. Finding a lurking Pokémon was incredibly easy for him.
At this point, he had to admit that this Pokémon clearly had a strong ability to disguise itself in the real world, because even the people connecting to the live stream and the viewers in the live stream might not be able to tell that this Pokémon was right in front of them!
Of course, this is also because the Ailao Forest has so many strange and unusual plants that it provides a good environment for this Pokémon to hide itself.
"In front of me? Streamer, you mean this... weird-looking flower? Holy crap, that's its mouth!"
The person on the other end was startled, and the Serpent Lord beside him immediately used its Leaf Blade to strike the strange flower.
The flower was struck by the flying leaf blade, and several wounds instantly appeared on its body, from which green blood flowed. Its mouth closed, and it indeed transformed into a monster with eyes, a gaping maw, and sparse, sharp teeth...
That monster is none other than that Pokémon!
Just now, it opened its mouth wide, curled up and twisted its body, disguising itself as a flower, all to confuse its prey. Once the prey got close, it launched a fierce attack!
However, as Ye Yinchuan mentioned earlier, this Pokémon's strength is actually just so-so; it's just rather strange and ferocious. Once its disguise is seen through, this Pokémon is no match for the Linker's Serperior and Bellossom...
In a two-on-one situation, the outcome was quickly decided.
The terrifying-looking Pokémon was beaten black and blue, covering its head with its leaf-like hands, as if it were saying, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! If you keep hitting me, someone will die!"
"this……"
Seeing the Pokémon's humiliating defeat, the narrator suddenly felt less afraid. Besides the fear stemming from the unknown, there's another profound truth: all fear arises from insufficient firepower...
If you can defeat any monster or demon with your fists, then there's nothing to be afraid of!
"Hey streamer, what's the name of this Pokémon?"
The questions asked by the interviewer were also the questions that the viewers in the live broadcast room had been asking.
"Hamcracker is originally an insect-catching Pokémon that usually feeds on insects and Bug Pokémon. However, this particular Hamcracker has clearly mutated. Not only have its teeth become sharper, but it also craves flesh and blood even more... In other words, it may even have the potential to attack humans."
Ye Yinchuan looked at the panel and characteristics of the Fang Cage and shared the information about this Pokémon with the audience.
[A fang cage? Come to think of it, its mouth does indeed resemble a cage. Once a small insect Pokémon gets swallowed, it has no chance of escaping!]
Are those vines or tentacles on its body? They look really disgusting!
Wait a minute, Connector, why are you taking out that Pokémon? Are you trying to catch all of these Pokémon?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the contact took out a Poké Ball and put the Fang Cage inside.
"Such a rare and precious Pokémon, of course I should catch it if I have the chance! Besides, if I can submit a live specimen, I can get even more rewards from the Pokémon Center. Moreover, such a dangerous mutated individual would be a danger to other Pokémon and trainers in the wild!"
The contact person confidently put the Poké Ball away.
"No problem, but remember to register and file a record as soon as you leave the wild area. A normal fang cage is fine, but your mutated one is too dangerous."
Ye Yinchuan reminded him.
He was still savoring the characteristics of this fanged cage.
[Trait: Bloodthirsty Spirit Plant]
Grass-type Pokémon possessing this ability will have an extremely strong craving for flesh and blood, resulting in higher growth potential and aggression. They may also evolve traits specifically suited for consuming flesh and blood... such as their teeth and mouthparts becoming sharper and more developed!
Without a doubt, the core of this fanged cage's mutation lies in this one trait.
Ye Yinchuan was already thinking about which Pokémon he would pair with this trait if he could obtain it, in order to achieve the best effect.
[Host, what type is this Fang Cage? Besides Grass, is it also Ghost? Otherwise, how can it fly?]
Could it be a flight attribute?
"Don't get me wrong, Fang Cage is definitely a Grass-type Pokémon. The reason it can fly is because it has the Levitate ability. Its body is quite light, and with the help of the surrounding branches or the wind, it can float like a balloon and move freely between the trees."
Ye Yinchuan also added some details.
"A typical Calibur doesn't have such well-developed mouthparts. Even if it catches prey, it takes a whole day to break down and digest the food... But this Calibur is amazing. It can devour it raw on the spot, making it incredibly ferocious! Calibur is already a rather greedy Pokémon, and with this mutation, it only becomes more ruthless!"
[Host, don't you think spending an entire day just eating raw food is even more terrifying?]
[Holy crap, if a person were caught by one of these Pokémon, wouldn't they have the chance to feel themselves being eaten bit by bit while fully conscious?]
"Alright everyone, that's about enough time for today. We'll connect with one last lucky viewer, and then our treasure hunt will be over!"
Just as Ye Yinchuan was about to end the live stream, he saw the Sharptooth Cage suddenly jump out of the streamer's Poké Ball, then open its mouth wide and spit out a green stone...
The Bellsprout next to the Connector, in order to protect the Trainer, stood in front of the Connector and was hit by the green stone. In fact, the Bellsprout's body emitted an evolutionary glow!
"Host, what, what's going on here?"
The contact person was startled and really didn't understand what had just happened.
Ye Yinchuan was slightly taken aback, then a smile appeared on his lips:
"Unexpectedly, this fanged clamshell somehow ate a Leaf Stone, and unable to digest or absorb its energy, it couldn't help but spit it out after the intense battle... and this Leaf Stone just happened to hit your Bellossom, fulfilling its evolution requirements!"
