Chapter 275 Pidgeot eats Metapod like it's canned food? A commission issued by the Dream Protec
Chapter 275 Pidgeotto eats Metapod like it's canned food? A commission issued by the Dream Protection Bureau? Fellow trainers!
"If you make a Quick Claw into a pendant and hang it around a Pokémon's neck, it'll be easy to carry... So if you have enough money, wouldn't you be able to get a huge number of Quick Claws and string them together densely?"
Ye Yinchuan, with a burst of inspiration, came up with a way for the super-rich to do it.
"Family members, what do you think?"
Is he really a genius?
[The streamer thinks he's so smart? What you can think of, others have already tried! Different preemptive claws have different shapes and energies, making them difficult to integrate...]
It can even cause rejection! One foreigner once tried hanging a pendant covered in claw marks on his cat...
And guess what? After the cat wore it, its body's magnetic field became disordered. Forget about increasing its agility; it couldn't even walk properly!
Ye Yinchuan watched the comments with great interest:
"So, just as we can find a preemptive claw with a similar shape and energy, is it theoretically possible to do the same?"
Why don't you just use the First Claw to craft a battle suit for your Pokémon? Once it wears it, it'll be called a First Claw Warrior!
This comment made Ye Yinchuan chuckle, and he couldn't help but imagine what it meant.
You know what, this idea is actually quite interesting, it's just that its feasibility is too low.
Claws aren't metal, so they can't be melted down; they can only be made by connecting or weaving them together in a special way.
"Okay, stop fooling around."
Ye Yinchuan carefully put away the Preemptive Claw. Even though, according to the comments, its condition was only average, it was still a relatively valuable item.
Then, while taking a short rest, I also looked after the cat.
"Meow?"
As soon as Miaomiao woke up, she cautiously observed her surroundings.
"Meow!"
Hot Cat walked over, slapped Meow Meow on the head, and then licked its head.
This is a common habit among felines; the one that licks the other's fur is of higher status.
Unlike canines, which are of lower status and fawn over their counterparts.
Meow looked terrified, but dared not resist.
Haha, I'm just asking you, dare to move?
[The streamer's Hot Cat is really strong! That fireball was like a heavy cannon!]
The audience exclaimed in amazement.
"Meow……"
The cat lowered its head, showing its submission to the heat.
Ye Yinchuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, Sang Biao, stop making trouble and let it go."
I really wanted a cat before, preferably a talking cat.
But this cat clearly doesn't have that ability.
Having just caught a Cotton Ball, I naturally won't be considering adding any new Pokémon for the time being.
"Meow!"
The cat was loosened by the heat and fled in panic.
Ye Yinchuan continued on his journey.
We hadn't gone far into the forest when we saw a Pidgey attacking a Metapod on the ground.
Energy surged continuously within the armored body, a sign that it was hardening from use.
[Pidgeotto and Metapod, huh? That's not much to see.]
[But this Pidgeotto is too weak. I remember it takes a Pidgey of level 10 or so to evolve into Pidgeotto, and it can't even handle a Metapod!]
Looking at the comments and at what was in front of him, Ye Yinchuan seemed to be deep in thought:
"Family members, don't blame this Pidgeotto. It's an exceptionally precocious Pidgeotto. Even though it's evolved, its level is probably still below 10!"
"And this armored pupa is particularly adept at hardening...it's quite interesting."
When Ye Yinchuan saw Metapod and Pidgeotto, these familiar Pokémon, he didn't find them unusual. Instead, they immediately brought to mind many thoughts.
First, in the anime, Ash used Metapod to battle against "Samurai Boy," who also sent out a Metapod. Neither Metapod had any offensive moves, so they could only wear each other down...
In the game, if two Metapods face off without switching Pokémon, the outcome will likely be similar.
Then there's Pidgeotto, which is at a very low level.
In the game, this also happens. For example, Pidgey usually evolves into Pidgeotto at level 18, but there are low-level Pidgeottos that are only level 7 to 9...
This is quite an interesting phenomenon; I didn't expect to see something similar in real life.
What? A precocious Pidgey? Is that even possible?
[What does the streamer plan to do? Will he take action?]
Ye Yinchuan shook his head:
"This Pidgeotto is probably planning to eat Metapod. Whether Metapod successfully defends itself or Pidgeotto successfully defeats it, I shouldn't, and have no need to, interfere."
They have no intention of subjugating him, and they have no vested interests in him.
Just as Ye Yinchuan was about to leave, he ran into a trainer.
The reason they were so certain that the other person was a trainer was not only because this was a wild area where professional players were allowed to enter, but also because the Pokémon the other person was with were not ordinary either.
Two Bug-type Pokémon stood guard on either side of the opponent, like gatekeepers; they were Heracross and Pinscheroo...
These two Pokémon may have names that sound a little unfamiliar.
But that's okay. If you say "giant beetle" or "big beetle," many people will probably understand.
The other party noticed Ye Yinchuan, and also the Pidgeotto and Metapod over there, and grinned as he said:
"A Metapod that can withstand Pidgeotto's attack seems to be an exceptional specimen. If it could evolve into Butterfree, it would be incredibly powerful! My friend, you..."
The other party also noticed the Pokémon beside Ye Yinchuan.
Snorlax and Shiny Owl both look quite unusual.
Although Cocodora was rare and Hot Cat was one of the starter Pokémon, he didn't pay much attention to it.
"I'm not interested. If you want to subdue them, go ahead."
Ye Yinchuan immediately understood the meaning behind the other party's words and replied crisply.
"Thank you!"
The other party didn't hold back either, immediately commanding its Kerosene to go forward and drive away the Pidgey.
This Pidgey was of a lower level and was no match for Kairos. After being knocked down, it grumbled and flew away.
[Pip: I just wanted to open a can of food, what are you doing?]
[The insults were really harsh!]
[The streamer didn't even say this armored pupa was good, and just gave it up like that?]
Discussion in the live chat.
"Going live streaming, bro?"
After driving away the Pidgey, this person considered the Metapod, which had difficulty moving, to be his for the taking.
"Yes...that's right."
Ye Yinchuan originally didn't want to interact too much with strangers, but if they took the initiative to talk to him, it would seem a bit too cold-hearted to just walk away...
What if word gets out and people accuse me of playing a big hand?
"Wait a minute, buddy, you're that Kirby Detective, right? Hey, nice to meet you!"
The other person glanced at Ye Yinchuan and recognized him.
"I watched your livestream, but I got busy and stopped watching... Aren't you a treasure-hunting streamer? Why are you doing outdoor streams? Your Munchlax evolved into a Munchlax... Wow, that's amazing!"
As he spoke, the other person took out a Poké Ball and pressed it against the Metapod.
Metapod was already under attack from Pidgeotto and in a very dangerous situation, and its energy was also greatly depleted. When it sensed that there was a dark and safe environment inside the Poké Ball, it instinctively hid inside the Poké Ball.
This kind of Pokémon is quite easy to catch. Just beat it up, and if that doesn't work, inflict some status conditions...
"Hello, hello..."
Ye Yinchuan didn't expect that the other party was actually a half-fan of his, and his attitude immediately changed.
After a brief exchange, I learned that this person's name was Xiao Wu, and he was also an apprentice trainer who was working hard to become a full-fledged trainer.
This time, he received a commission to capture a special Pokémon in the "Painted Water Forest" area.
"The Dream Protection Bureau has a need for this kind of Pokémon, so they issued a commission for us to capture it. After we capture it, we just need to submit it to the Wild Area Guardian. Because it's an official commission, it won't consume our own capture quota..."
If you manage to capture a rare female, you'll earn 200 Adventure Points! And to become a full-fledged Trainer, you only need 3000 points! Hurry up and pick up a commission!
Originally, Ye Yinchuan thought Xiao Wu was a bit unruly, but he didn't expect him to be such a kind-hearted person. Upon hearing that he was also a trainee trainer, Xiao Wu provided this valuable information.
The Pokémon that Xiaowu mentioned are Sweetie and Volcarona.
Some students might ask, "Aren't these two different Pokémon?"
In fact, the relationship between the Sweet Firefly and the Electric Firefly is similar to that between Nidoran and Nidolan, representing the female and male counterparts, and they will exhibit different forms depending on their sex!
Ye Yinchuan was also persuaded by Xiao Wu's words.
He's the type who doesn't actively seek out social interaction, but if the other person is nice, he won't give them a cold shoulder.
At this point, his attitude noticeably became more polite and gentle.
Ye Yinchuan was also moved and accepted the commission.
Trainee trainers need a lot of points to become official trainers. For example, catching a female Firefly only earns 200 points, while a male Volcarona is worthless, only 50 points...
The most critical issue is that the number of submissions each person can make is limited.
For example, in this round of commissions, each person can submit a maximum of 2 Sweet Fireflies and 8 Electric Fireflies, which means that at most, they can get 800 points.
Since I'll be officially promoted sooner or later anyway, I might as well take this opportunity to accumulate more points.
Strive to get promoted to a permanent position as soon as possible!
[Okay, okay, did the streamer encounter an NPC and trigger a side quest?]
[How much of the main storyline is the matter of getting promoted to a permanent position?]
Why is this so awkward? Isn't the Pokémon Protection Bureau supposed to protect Pokémon? Instead, they're issuing commissions for others to catch them? They want to catch them, but they also want to set limits—are they kidding me?
Seeing the confusion in the comments, Ye Yinchuan explained:
"Generally, Pokémon capture commissions issued by the Pokémon Protection Bureau or other official organizations are legitimate and can be used for legitimate purposes, so they will not consume your personal Pokémon capture quota."
However, it's not always the case when someone else posts it. There are two scenarios. One is more common and conventional: it consumes the target recipient's capture quota.
Another scenario involves tasks that are more difficult to complete, or where the client agrees to certain conditions, which would consume the capture quota of the task initiator.
Since we've started talking about it, Ye Yinchuan will elaborate a bit more.
Stop talking nonsense, it's making my head spin!
"Hmm... Based on my speculation, the Dream Protection Bureau is collecting Sweet Fireflies and Electric Fireflies for two purposes."
One method involves training fireflies to emit light from their tails to transmit a signal; this could be useful in certain situations…
Another use is to detect water pollution. These Pokémon typically inhabit clean water, but if the water becomes polluted, they will seek new habitats.
Ye Yinchuan glanced at the commission, which also contained a hint that the chances of finding Sweet Fireflies and Electric Fireflies were higher in areas with water sources.
Huashui Forest has many streams and lakes, and the water quality is excellent.
"Hey streamer, shall we go together?"
Xiao Wu extended an invitation.
Ye Yinchuan did not refuse.
Originally, he was just aimlessly exploring the Huashui Forest as a trial run for his first outdoor live stream. Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu appeared out of nowhere, reminding him to accept this official commission.
Because the number and variety of online commissions in the trainer application are actually quite large, Ye Yinchuan didn't take a close look, nor did he have the energy to carefully select them...
Xiao Wu mentioned this, which saved him the screening process and allowed him to obtain a high-quality commission.
Therefore, Ye Yinchuan was still somewhat grateful:
"Little Wu, actually, that Metapod you caught might not be very strong after evolving into Butterfree. Its hardening skill is very high because it's timid and extremely afraid of dying; all its potential is used up in defense. After evolving into Butterfree, it might not be as strong as a regular Butterfree..."
Wow! No wonder the streamer gave in so readily!
[Hahaha! Xiao Wu opened his heart to you, and you're only saying this now?]
"This... thank you, Kirby."
Xiao Wu understood what Ye Yinchuan meant: that the armored pupa, like the monster, might not be worth much expectation or investment.
"I'll think about it. If it really doesn't work out, I'll release it as soon as possible. But I'm wondering, if there were a Butterfree that's good at defense, could it catch me off guard in battle?"
Ye Yinchuan's expression was somewhat subtle. Actually, it leaned towards a "defense" approach. A similar Pokémon he had encountered before was the Toxadir, whose move Quiver Dance not only boosted Defense and Energy but also increased Agility...
Theoretically, a butterfly could also be an option.
The prerequisite is that the training is in place and the moves are appropriate.
Since Xiao Wu had said that, Ye Yinchuan decided to stop there.
"Sweet fireflies and electric fireflies usually live near water. I know which direction to go; there's a water source there..."
Xiao Wu also acted as a guide.
It's clear that this isn't his first time visiting the Water Forest.
Although both are trainee trainers, compared to Ye Yinchuan, he is a veteran trainee.
"There should be plenty of water in the Water Forest... Here's what we'll do: have your Heracross search for sweet scents, then use its flight maneuverability to find them. My Winged Owl will cooperate, which will greatly increase efficiency!"
Ye Yinchuan suggested.
Since the two of you are traveling together, you should make the most of the time; otherwise, dawdling around will just be a waste of time.
"However, flying too high in the sky might attract the attention of some Pokémon, and we might get attacked... especially since some Pokémon consider this area their airspace!"
Xiao Wu was slightly worried.
Ye Yinchuan expressed his approval:
"Your concerns are not unreasonable, but with the two of us here, we can look out for each other. As long as we're a little careful, there won't be any problems... At worst, we'll deal with whatever comes our way!"
