Chapter 77 Special Abilities Unrelated to Weather! Does Psyduck's Talent Increase the Longer It
Chapter 77 The Ability "Unrelated to Weather"! Does Psyduck's talent increase the longer it stays dormant? (Please read on!)
As long as Ye Yinchuan concentrates, more detailed information will be displayed in the "Characteristics" section of the panel.
【Characteristic: Irrelevant to weather】
Pokémon possessing this characteristic are, to a certain extent, unaffected by weather conditions, including their physical and mental states. Weather includes factors such as temperature, humidity, sunlight, and air movement.
"Host, while I believe in your skills, could you tell me how you figured out... there weren't any words written on this Psyduck?"
The man finally asked the question that everyone in the live chat was asking.
"Well, that's a trade secret."
Ye Yinchuan looked determined to fool the ghost.
You can already visually assess an individual's stats and personality, so why are you still asking this?
[Small workshops really know how to use high-quality materials! I don't think even those top treasure-hunting livestreamers would dare to go into such detail!]
[Everyone says they trust the streamer's abilities, so why ask? The streamer must have special methods for judging!]
"However, since you have asked so sincerely, I will generously and mercifully tell you..."
The characteristic of "unrelated to weather" is not very obvious; I probably wouldn't have noticed it under normal circumstances.
But today... it's a warm, sunny day. Although it's night now, the weather is still very dry. You didn't prepare a water basin or anything in advance. This Psyduck has only been hatched for a short time, and the slime on its body has already dried completely.
Most Water-type Pokémon would feel uncomfortable, but this Psyduck seems to have no reaction at all. Therefore, I'm pretty sure its ability is "weather-independent."
Upon hearing this, the man suddenly realized what was going on.
Ye Yinchuan, however, feigned a profound tone and said:
"True experts in appraisal know how to utilize favorable timing, location, and human factors; they never limit their vision to a single point or become complacent!"
"The streamer is really amazing."
"Yes, the host is so young, yet he knows so much. I want to learn from him!"
The mother and daughter duo praised her so much.
Ye Yinchuan's face flushed slightly; if he hadn't been thick-skinned enough, he would have been easily noticed!
I suspect the streamer is talking nonsense, but I have no proof.
Even if this feature is true, it seems a bit of a waste?
Ye Yinchuan continued to explain:
"The weather-independent characteristic allows Pokémon to be unaffected by the weather."
"First and foremost, the impact of weather in Pokémon battles cannot be ignored. Especially since some Pokémon possess the ability to alter or even create the weather!"
"This Psyduck won't be affected by these changes... Of course, it won't enjoy the benefits the weather brings either."
Actually, in the Pokémon game's setting...
The "Weather-independent" ability eliminates the effects of weather, but only when Psyduck is present.
Ye Yinchuan couldn't say for sure which one was more powerful.
The difference is that one only affects the user, while the other can affect teammates.
[It sounds like a double-edged sword... you can't enjoy any benefits.]
However, it might have a surprising effect in some situations; at least it won't be completely ineffective.
"I haven't finished yet. This characteristic actually has another potential effect, which is to make Pokémon more resistant, or rather, more adaptable. When facing certain weather-related special attacks, Psyduck will have better resistance, such as Wind Rush, Sand Rush, or even Solar Beam."
[Wait... a beam of sunlight? You mean, a blazing sunbeam?]
That sounds much more impressive!
"Host, I can roughly understand what you're saying. But is it also a good thing that this Psyduck doesn't seem very smart?"
The man pressed for an answer.
Ye Yinchuan looked at the "Great Wisdom Appears as Foolishness" message on Psyduck's panel, seemingly lost in thought.
Trait: Wise in appearance but seemingly foolish
Within the Psyduck species, the seemingly most foolish individuals are actually the most talented. They possess an incredible hidden power, which causes them excruciating headaches when unleashed. These individuals appear particularly foolish to allow their minds to rest, often remaining in a state of inactivity and blank staring.
Based on the other information on the panel, Ye Yinchuan had a basic understanding.
"Let me put it this way, this Psyduck can use psychic powers."
It's a bit complicated to explain, so Ye Yinchuan chose the most impactful playing style.
At that moment, the live stream chat exploded.
[Host, do you know what you're saying? Psyduck can use telekinesis? Isn't it only Golduck that can learn it?!]
[This Golduck has just hatched! Is it another egg secret?]
"No doubt about it, this Psyduck can use Psychic. You may not know this, but according to a study, the less intelligent a Psyduck seems, the more talented it is in Psychic-type Pokémon."
Ye Yinchuan's replies to the comments were also clean and concise.
"Really? Telekinesis?"
Both the man and the woman were somewhat bewildered.
Only the little girl was interacting affectionately with Psyduck.
Psyduck has a cute, blank expression and a very good temperament, letting Misty swing it around as she pleases, occasionally letting out a "quack" sound.
"Yes, it's psychic power. But the trade-off is that this kind of Psyduck is often weak in other areas, and the situation only improves when it evolves into Golduck."
【Wow, really? I just hatched a Psyduck last week that was too hungry to eat, and I sold it to a friend for 300 yuan!】
[Or maybe he's genuinely stupid!]
Some netizens felt they had missed out on a top-tier Psyduck after hearing this, but it immediately drew sharp criticism.
"Hmm, we can test it."
Encouraged by Ye Yinchuan.
The family gathered around the Psyduck and conducted a test.
The man's Pokémon is Lickitung, and when this Pokémon was called over, Ye Yinchuan's eyes lit up slightly.
The creature with the big tongue is entirely pink and looks like a giant salamander that has come to life. It is round and plump, with dull eyes the size of mung beans. Not only is its tongue large, but its large tail is also quite astonishing.
It has crescent-shaped stripes on its abdomen and circular rings on its knees, both of which are yellow.
It is said that the tongue of the big-tongued creature is twice the length of its body, and when it sticks out its tongue, its tail wags, suggesting a connection between the two.
[I think this guy's a complete idiot!]
[The size difference is huge, is this bullying the duck?]
A fully grown, large-tongued duckling facing a newly hatched, still-growing Psyduck does indeed present an overwhelming disadvantage.
"Xiaoxia, let's have a mock battle! You attack! Psyduck usually grabs and wags its tail!"
"Yay! Psyduck, let's go! Use Scratch!"
"Huh?"
"Use tail wagging!"
"Huh?"
Psyduck tentatively wagged its tail, but it looked more like it was shaking its butt.
There was no fluctuation of spirit energy, and no actual effect whatsoever!
[That's so true, this is the Psyduck I know!]
Ye Yinchuan watched this scene and fell into deep thought.
I remember a similar situation in the anime when Misty was commanding Psyduck in battle.
Later, during a battle with the Rockets, he was released because his headache became severe.
Perhaps because it's newly born, this Psyduck seems even dumber than the one in the anime.
They didn't even realize they were being attacked with a "grab"!
"Big tongue, let's lick it with our tongues!"
The man saw it all, but he didn't give up hope; instead, he persisted in his battle with his daughter.
The big tongue stuck out its long tongue and lashed it at Psyduck, slapping it directly across the face and sending it staggering backward.
After Psyduck regained its footing, it covered its head, looking completely unresponsive.
Everyone was stunned.
Licking with your tongue can have a numbing effect...
Even if the man with the lisp showed some mercy, surely it should have had some effect?
Huh?
Psyduck looks like it's in a bit of pain...
It turns out it wasn't that there was no reaction, but rather that the reaction was a beat too slow!
Because of the numbing effect of licking.
Psyduck felt a tingling, numb sensation all over its body, and it looked to be in great pain. It clutched its head and started running around...
"Psyduck!"
The little girl looked worried.
Ye Yinchuan noticed that Psyduck's status on its panel was changing from "Stunned" to "Headache"!
Just as the man with the big tongue blinked innocently, leaving everyone at a loss for what to do...
Psyduck suddenly stopped and opened its eyes wide, staring at Lickitung.
His eyes completely changed—
Telekinesis activated!
