Chapter 236 The Mudkip had seen through everything long ago! Fruit Tasting: Appleberry, Orangeberry, and Limousin!
[You have approved the connection request from user "Water Splashes Can Only Bloom on Rainy Days"!]
[Connection successful!]
With a prompt, a Mudkip appears in the frame, staring intently at the camera.
As the interviewer described, this Mudkip's eyes were empty yet sharp, giving the impression that it "saw everything."
The key point is that most Mudskippers are quite cute, and some are even very lively.
But this one just stood there, stiff and straight, with its mouth slightly open and its hands hanging down at its sides, giving off a strangely silly vibe.
The funniest thing is that the fin on the top of the swamp chub's head and the orange gills on its cheeks don't look like much at first, but because of its posture and temperament, it has a particularly "weird" sense of humor.
He just stood there, looking like an alien.
"Wow, this is an amazing recreation!"
For the people in the Pokémon world, it's alright, since there's no meme like "Moptok has seen through everything" in this world.
But for Ye Yinchuan, the Mudkip in the Connector's image is not unrelated to the Mudkip image in popular memes; they are practically identical!
[This Mudkip's eyes look so eerie, like an emotionless robot!]
[Oh my god, I'm getting a little creeped out by this stare. I'd feel something's wrong too!]
[Hilarious! This Mudkip is incredibly intelligent! I've rarely seen such wise eyes!]
Ye Yinchuan looked at the comments on the screen, his expression somewhat subtle.
There are actually people who are afraid of this Mudkip, hahaha...
However, it's clear that even those who don't know the reference can appreciate the humor in Mudkip's expression and posture.
At the same time, Ye Yinchuan was also admiring the Mudkip's movements.
Mudkip is one of the starter Pokémon, a Water-type Pokémon, and the evolved form of Mudkip, which can later evolve into Swampert.
As Pokémon from the same generation as Torchic, Mudkip and his family are considered quite classic, and there are definitely many people who know them.
Even Ye Yinchuan still has the memory of using Mudkip in battle.
The design of Mudkip looks a bit like a frog at first glance, but its prototype should actually be a creature like a newt or mudskipper.
The body is mostly sky blue, while the eyes, cheeks, and abdomen are orange, creating a striking combination and contrast of colors.
Compared to the Mudkip, the Marsh Mudkip has well-developed legs and a waist, enabling it to walk upright.
It's worth mentioning that Mudkip has no tail; it only has two wing-like tail fins behind its rear end.
"Hey streamer, how's it going? Can you figure anything out? It used to be really cheerful."
As he spoke, the person on the other end of the line didn't forget to take out a photo of himself and Mudkip before they evolved. In the photo, Mudkip was lively and cute, completely different from the Mudkip of today.
Hmm... This is the first time I've seen a Mudkip that's grown up so badly.
It seems like this all the time: as children grow up, they become less close to their parents.
This Mudkip is probably ruined...
"Don't talk nonsense! Who said this Mudkip is useless? This Mudkip is amazing, a one-in-a-million gem!"
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan had already exchanged glances with the Mudkip and checked the panel.
They belong to the category of those with extraordinary talent.
[Mumafish Pokémon: Mudkip]
[Level: 18]
[Attributes: Water, Ground]
[Gender: Male]
[Racial stats: D-rank (405)]
Individual Value: Grade A (179)
【Characteristic: Moisture】
[Personality: Steady]
[Evolutionary Path: Mudkip - Mudkip - Swampert]
[Skills: Mud Shot, Tackle, Water Gun, Shout, Mud Throw, Endure, Mud Bomb, Anticipate (Egg Move)]
Status: Normal
Trait: Seeing through everything
"There really is something there."
Ye Yinchuan thought to himself, organized his thoughts, and then began to speak:
"This Mudkip has an A-rank IV and its ability is Damp, which are all fairly average. However, it carries the Egg Move 'Insight,' and it has an exceptional talent for this move, enabling it to unleash its full potential... It is this talent that gives it such a unique appearance and posture."
As he spoke, his gaze lingered on the characteristics of this Mudkip.
Trait: Seeing through everything
This Mudkip possesses the egg move "Recognize," and its "Recognize" works without needing to be used intentionally, and is even more effective than a regular "Recognize"!
"So the Mudkip really saw through everything?"
Ye Yinchuan savored the moment, and also shared with the audience the unique features of this Mudkip:
"We all know that recognizing this move can be used against Ghost-type Pokémon, and it can also reveal the opponent's movement patterns, making it difficult for them to dodge the attack..."
Detection requires activation, but this Mudkip seems to be activating "Detection" all the time...
Not only that, its ability to discern an opponent's weaknesses, as well as the timing and direction of their attacks, gives it a significant advantage in battle!
What? This Mudkip is always able to see through my disguise? That's amazing!
[This is incredible! So, does this ability to see through things consume energy?]
"This... my Mudkip seems pretty good at battles. Although it always seems a beat slow to react, it always manages to deliver a crucial blow or dodge the opponent's attack!"
The person in the connection was slow to realize this, mainly because he didn't know enough about his own Mudkip. Now that Ye Yinchuan had pointed it out, he understood immediately.
"Well, so your Mudkip is fine. The only problem is that it's always in a 'seen through' state, so its eyes look a bit strange... but that's part of what makes it interesting, isn't it?"
"Thank you, host. I have no further questions."
After saying that, Ye Yinchuan ended the call.
After a few more sessions, it was finally time to leave work.
Looking at the well-behaved, adorable, and innocent Woody Owl, Ye Yinchuan took a deep breath:
"It's about time to hit the road."
Upon hearing this, the Fiery Meowth and Munchlax beside them both showed expressions of great fear, making it seem to anyone who didn't know better that Ye Yinchuan was going to "send" Rowlet away.
In reality, it was just the usual training for the hegemon.
Ye Yinchuan brought along Mumu Xiao and Coco Dora.
Rowlet has gotten used to this kind of training. Although it still makes her a little scared every time she thinks about it, the results of the training are always visible.
The main reason is that Mumu Xiao regards Ye Yinchuan as a mother figure, so he trains her extremely hard, firmly believing that his mother is training him so strictly because she wants what's best for him.
CocoDora will also have its first training session tonight.
Because of the exceptional effectiveness of the Overlord's Shadow and its time-saving nature, Ye Yinchuan now only takes his Pokémon for other training sessions when he remembers.
Although it might seem a bit lazy, it did save a lot of time and energy.
Anyway, I interact with Pokémon quite often, so there's no need to worry about insufficient training leading to a low affinity level.
"When will I be able to get my own private training space?"
Ye Yinchuan muttered to himself.
To avoid revealing his status as a top player, he could only train his Pokémon in the dark, in secluded places late at night after his livestream ended, a process that always felt like a clandestine affair…
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was doing something bad.
Even so, training outside still carries some risk of exposure.
As the saying goes, if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
So Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but think about when he could have his own private training ground.
Of course, it's a bit too early to think about this now.
After all, you need at least the size of a villa to have the foundation to create a private training ground.
I haven't even fully moved into my new rented apartment yet, what am I thinking?
Let's just make do for now...
If all else fails, I can get a professional trainer certification and train in the wilderness where no one is likely to notice.
But then again, if you're training in the wild and you encounter someone, they're a professional trainer, not an ordinary person... Doesn't that seem too risky?
Ye Yinchuan cleared his mind of the jumbled thoughts and took the two Pokémon out.
They also carried a small backpack filled with necessary emergency medicines to prevent them from getting injured during training and not receiving timely treatment.
Now that Poké Balls are available, it's very convenient to take them to the hospital or clinic if the situation is serious.
Oh, and CocoDora has already scored a goal.
Having learned from previous experience, it didn't take much effort to coax and trick Cocodora into its Poké Ball.
Training is in full swing.
Since it was Cocodora's first time fighting against the Shadow of the Overlord, she was bound to be utterly defeated.
Coco Dora's body is incredibly strong; you can hardly see any external injuries, only internal ones...
Owlwood, on the other hand, is quite experienced.
Don't let Rowlet's cute and cuddly appearance fool you; when it fights the Shadow of the Overlord, it shows quite a bit of its raptor-like qualities...
Like sharp "leaves," they are like hidden weapons, ready to strike at any moment, aiming straight for the vital points.
It's like a sudden "shadow attack," which is also a familiar tactic, and it mainly focuses on a lack of martial ethics.
The newly learned "Flying Leaf Blade" is sharp and swift, capable of firing four or five blades in an instant. It is more powerful and faster than "leaves".
Not to mention Rowlet's two egg moves, "Strange Light" and "Nightmare," which fully demonstrate what the Ghost-type ability is all about. When used in the dark of night, they are even more effective.
A flawless version after careful inspection!
Of course, the Overlord's Shadow is always set to be slightly superior to the original body, so even though Rowlet has become much stronger, he is always like a greenhorn in front of the Overlord's Shadow.
Regardless, Rowlet is already a very remarkable senior in front of Cocodora, and you can see that Cocodora's eyes are full of longing.
This is the power of role models.
Why do many trainers choose to raise one Pokémon before considering the next?
Because of the example and guidance provided by previous Pokémon, the growth rate of subsequent Pokémon will be much faster, and their training enthusiasm will also be fully mobilized.
……
After returning from training, Ye Yinchuan washed and groomed the Pokémon, then cuddled with them and drifted off to sleep.
When Rowlet woke up the next day, the light of evolution was indeed beginning to appear on its body. However, it had not fully recovered yet, so the effects of the Overlord's Shadow had not been fully realized, and the real evolution had not yet begun.
"That's great! Rowlet is about to evolve!"
Before Snorlax woke up, I hugged Rowlet and gave it a good cuddling to avoid it getting jealous.
The sleepy Snorlax frowned slightly: I didn't have any nightmares, so why do I have this bad feeling?
Looking at CocoDora, she recovered from her injuries in just one night, and the effects of Overlord's Shadow quickly became apparent.
Ironclad Pokémon: Cocoyar
[Level: 1 → 8]
[New moves: Metal Claw, Rock Blockade]
"This upgrade speed is too fast..."
Looking at the results of Coco Dora's training last night, which had only lasted a short while, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but sigh again...
With these low-level Pokémon and the Shadow of the Totem, leveling up is easier than eating or drinking.
You still need to eat one meal a day, but this upgrade is seven levels in a row...
Ye Yinchuan ordered takeout for breakfast today.
He used to have to go out for running and training... but now, whenever Shadow of the Overlord trains his Pokémon, it brings obvious feedback.
It's like Ye Yinchuan just lies there all day without moving, and he automatically gets stronger.
Even if you lift up his clothes, you can see the outline of his abdominal muscles.
Before, I would be out of breath after doing ten push-ups, but now I can do a hundred without even breaking a sweat.
When I look in the mirror, I can feel that in addition to being young and full of vigor, I also have a kind of spirit that comes from regular exercise...
In addition, he already looks like Louis Koo, and with his good physique and improved demeanor, he is incredibly handsome.
"I could easily make a living off my looks, but I still choose to do live streaming."
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but have this flirtatious thought pop into his head.
It's just wishful thinking. Live streaming is his livelihood. Before the system was implemented, what good was being a little handsome? He still couldn't make a living from live streaming...
Today's breakfast was scallion and pork pancakes, plus meat dumplings.
The scallion and pork sesame flatbread tastes quite good.
It's a small baked flatbread, plump in shape, somewhat similar to a steamed bun, but the crust is completely different. The outside is baked until slightly charred, very beautiful, and the aroma of the dough is irresistible.
One bite reveals a crispy exterior and a chewy interior. When you bite into the meat, the hot broth almost bursts into your mouth, the aroma of scallions and meat sealed inside, seemingly brewing for a long time before exploding all at once...
Ye Yinchuan exclaimed in delight, "These little sesame cakes are so juicy! They smell amazing!"
Looking at the contents of the pancake, I saw that it contained chili peppers, which added a touch of spiciness and umami to the whole pancake, making it even more delicious.
As for rouyan, it is a meat product similar to dumplings or wontons.
The outer wrapper is made from a mixture of meat and flour, giving it a different texture from regular wrappers. It has a meaty aroma and a crispy texture. The soup is also very flavorful, with a layer of oil floating on top. The meat filling inside is quite generous and incredibly delicious...
This breakfast, a combination of dry and wet foods, steaming hot, brought great comfort and satisfaction to Ye Yinchuan's stomach and mind; it was truly delightful.
As is customary, Ye Yinchuan also included Pokémon.
Treating Pokémon as family and partners means there's no reason for anyone to eat alone. If there's something delicious or fun, you naturally have to share it with them. Ye Yinchuan has gotten used to it.
Of course, Pokémon food is also essential.
For example, Cocodora has a dedicated metal mine.
In addition, Ye Yinchuan recently bought some berries that Pokémon love to eat online, saying that they can supplement vitamins and other nutrients, which are very beneficial to Pokémon.
By the way, there was a live stream once where I connected with an orchard, and they sent over some of their own fruit, though it's still on its way.
There are three kinds of tree fruits that have been washed and are laid out together in front of me. They are all relatively common.
They are respectively wild apple, orange, and limu fruit.
Although it sounds very similar to ordinary apples, oranges, and pears...
Ligamu, isn't that just a pear?
But in reality, the berries in the Pokémon world are quite unique.
For example, the wild apple does look somewhat like an apple, and it is generally red on top and yellow on the bottom, with a fairly obvious layering.
But the taste is definitely different from that of an apple.
The texture is quite similar; both are crisp and juicy, and they both make a satisfying crunch when you bite into them.
The first flavor I noticed was sweet and spicy...
Then there's a sour taste, followed by a slightly bitter aftertaste.
Ye Yinchuan found the taste quite novel; it was delicious, not bad, refreshing and not greasy.
Yes, there are still ordinary fruits in this world.
The difference between tree fruits and ordinary fruits is that tree fruits absorb spirit energy and are very difficult to cultivate, but in terms of nutrition and value, the former is far superior.
It's like the difference between Pokémon and ordinary animals.
Ye Yinchuan used to be poor and ate only ordinary fruit; he could never enjoy tree fruits.
Tree fruits are either cultivated by professionals or can only be picked in the wild, making them a rare luxury for many ordinary people.
In addition, tree fruits are also divided into different grades, and the ones Ye Yinchuan bought were of the average grade.
On the one hand, we don't want the Pokémon to eat too badly; on the other hand, we haven't had this kind of consumption before, so it's impossible to start with the absolute best.
The appearance of the orange is blue, with pits on the surface like an orange peel. Its taste is not very sweet, but mainly sour, with a slightly bitter taste and a citrus-like fragrance.
"I thought apples were already quite refreshing, but I didn't expect there were experts among them..."
Ye Yinchuan continued to taste the limu fruit.
Limousin fruit looks a bit like a pear, but it is noticeably fuller and has distinctive circular markings. If you didn't know it was non-toxic, you might have some reservations about eating it.
One bite, and the sourness hits you right in the head. There's almost no other taste, just pure sourness, but it's so sour it's intoxicating, so sour it's exhilarating...
"I'd heard that limu nuts were very sour, but I didn't expect them to be this sour. However, they're incredibly juicy, it feels like a floodgate has been opened in my mouth..."
Overall, Ye Yinchuan still believes that the wild apple tastes the best, but the others are not bad either, and all have their own unique characteristics.
However, the flavor and aroma of tree fruits are significantly richer and more pronounced than those of ordinary fruits.
Ye Yinchuan had already eaten a full breakfast, so he only had a small taste of the fruit and left the rest to the Pokémon.
When the Pokémon woke up, they naturally enjoyed a feast, eating with great relish, revealing their gluttonous nature.
Before you knew it, it was 2 PM, time to start the broadcast again.
@Naluduo:
[Host, something strange has happened to me. A Pokémon has inexplicably appeared in my Poké Ball, and it looks really strange... Can you help me take a look?]
A comment requesting a live stream caught Ye Yinchuan's attention.
