Chapter 276 Sweet Firefly and Electric Firefly! How strong is Milotic in the water? Capture, capture
Chapter 276 Sweet Firefly and Electric Firefly! How strong is Milotic in the water? Capture, capture like crazy!
Hercules enjoys sucking sweet tree sap and is quite sensitive to sweetness, so Ye Yinchuan instructed Xiao Wu to guide his Hercules to search for sweet scents.
At this point, he also explained to the audience:
"The Sweet Firefly is nocturnal, usually only becoming active at dusk, which is just right now. As its name suggests, it releases a sweet fragrance, which allows it to quickly locate its target in complex aquatic environments."
As he was speaking, he looked at Xiao Wu:
"After the Sweet Firefly releases its fragrance, it will attract a large number of Electric Fireflies. If we want to catch the Sweet Firefly, we need to act quickly, because the male Electric Fireflies will protect the Sweet Firefly 100%, and the more Electric Fireflies gather, the more difficult it will be for us to catch it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up:
"As expected of you!"
Originally, Xiao Wu's headlong rush into the Huashui Forest was reckless.
Finding Sweet Firefly and Electric Firefly is ideal, but if you can't, it's okay, there are other resources in the wild anyway.
Then I met a streamer, and my thoughts became clearer.
"I'm really lucky today!"
He was secretly pleased with himself.
"The Water Forest is relatively safe; there aren't many Flying-type Pokémon that are very territorial and congregate in groups."
The feathered owl and Heracross lingered in the sky for a while.
Ye Yinchuan spoke to the audience in a relaxed tone.
[Host, something's getting close to your feathered owl!]
Oh no, I've run into this, how unlucky!
Upon seeing the notification in the live chat, Ye Yinchuan turned his gaze to check the situation in the air.
A black bird-like Pokémon was approaching its Winged Owl.
It was very fast and was positioned in the blind spot of the owl, making it look a bit sneaky.
Is this a feathered owl trying to ambush the streamer?
[What Pokémon? It looks like a wizard!]
Discussion in the live chat.
Ye Yinchuan admired the Pokémon.
It resembles a crow, being entirely black with a yellow beak and claws.
Its most distinctive feature is the feathers on its head, which resemble a wizard's hat, and its tail, which resembles a witch's flying broom...
That's right, this Pokémon is Murkrow.
"Individual value is B-grade, trait is... Super Luck."
Ye Yinchuan would subconsciously appraise any Pokémon he saw; it was practically an occupational hazard.
"Watch out for your feathered owl, aren't you going to warn me?"
When Xiao Wu saw the Dark Raven approaching the Winged Owl, he couldn't help but ask.
Ye Yinchuan remained calm:
"Don't worry, the one to be worried about is that Murloc."
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan looked up at the sky.
The Winged Owl was looking around, completely unaware of the approaching Murkrow, but in reality, with its sensory abilities, how could it not detect the Murkrow's approach?
It had already noticed!
The corners of the owl's mouth seemed to be slightly raised, and its eyes were filled with laughter. It couldn't help but be happy just thinking about what it was going to do next.
"Croak!"
As Murkrow approached, it suddenly let out a strange cry containing a special Ghost-type energy, clearly the move "Scare".
Almost simultaneously, energy gathered on its beak, unleashing the attack "Peck," which hurtled towards the Winged Owl.
However, Touhou turned around with a wicked smile on its face, grabbed Murkrow's beak with one claw, and at the same time, Ghost-type energy exploded, forming a huge and terrifying ghost face that rushed towards Murkrow.
The raven was immediately frightened and struggled frantically to escape, but its beak was firmly held.
It wasn't until the Thrustow flapped its wings, kicked off with a kick and "blown away" that the Murkrow was sent flying.
"Quack quack!"
The raven panicked, spinning two and a half times in the air, losing several feathers in the process, before turning and fleeing into the depths of the forest.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Seeing the strength of Touyuxiao, Xiao Wu finally understood why Ye Yinchuan was so calm.
With this strength, what is there to be afraid of?
In fact, Ye Yinchuan remained unmoved, simply because he didn't want to disturb Touyuxiao's wicked sense of humor.
Seeing that the Murkrow had run away, the Winged Owl looked slightly disappointed. The reason was simple: it hadn't had enough of crushing the weaker prey!
Isn't this bullying? Haha!
[I just want to know, what is this Murkrow trying to do? It's clearly no match for the Winged Owl!]
[I've heard that Murlocs are unlucky creatures; the streamer is in for trouble!]
Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan felt he had something to say:
"Markrow has no resistance to glowing things; it must have been attracted by the shimmering feathers of the Touhou... On the other hand, shiny Pokémon are inherently vulnerable to attacks in the wild, partly because they are more conspicuous, and partly because their Pokémon energy is unique and concentrated, which some Pokémon consider a great tonic!"
"However, this Murkrow is definitely not trying to prey on my Winged Owl, given the difference in strength between us... I suspect its goal is to pluck a feather from a Winged Owl."
Ye Yinchuan paused slightly at this point, his tone almost chuckled.
[Outrageous, it's because of this?]
[The feathers on this feathered owl are really beautiful, I want one too!]
"Family members, when you're in the wild with Murkrows, remember not to wear anything sparkly, such as rings, necklaces, and earrings, as they can easily attract attacks and snatch your jewelry."
[Thanks, host! One more useless safety tip!]
Over here, Heracross also landed and gestured wildly with Xiao Wu.
Through telepathy, Ye Yinchuan easily knew that Heracross had already smelled the sweet scent and spotted the Sweet Firefly and Electric Firefly from a great distance.
Heracross led the way, with Ye Yinchuan, Xiao Wu, and the other Pokémon following behind.
Suddenly, I feel like the streamer has a really tough life.
When are you going to get a rideable Pokémon? I'd love to use it when I'm traveling!
Glancing at the comments, Ye Yinchuan adjusted his breathing and ran behind Heracross...
It's actually not too bad if you don't talk about it in the comments.
But after hearing what the comments said, Ye Yinchuan also felt that he should get a Pokémon that he could ride in the future.
While the Winged Owl can theoretically carry people, it feels too strained. Evolving into the Sniper Treeowl would be a bit better, and if all else fails, it can use its two long legs to grab you.
In the water, Milotic is more than enough as a rideable mount.
Mainly on land, Snorlax, and later Litten and Cocoyar.
Although it's not impossible for you to insist on riding it...
But Snorlax and Aggron are a bit clumsy.
The Blazing Roaring Tiger, which is almost humanoid and similar to the Sniper Tree Owl, can only be carried on someone's back...
Pokémon like Dodrio, Arcanine, Rapidash, and Tauros would be more suitable.
But Ye Yinchuan hadn't decided what he wanted in particular yet.
In terms of attribute configuration, it's best to choose one that doesn't overlap with your current Pokémon.
For the sake of easier breeding and training, others tend to prefer animals with the same attributes, mainly because they are more cost-effective...
But Ye Yinchuan doesn't need to consider these things; it's better to be comprehensive.
For now... I'll just have to make do with these two legs of mine!
Thanks to the feedback from the spirit energy and the shadow of the overlord, Ye Yinchuan's stamina was astonishing, and he ran incredibly fast. Compared to Xiao Wu beside him, it was as if he were strolling leisurely.
[The streamer is amazing; he doesn't even blush, his heart isn't racing, and he's not out of breath!]
[Upstairs, isn't that dead?]
Meanwhile, Ye Yinchuan and Xiao Wu quickly arrived at the vicinity of a lake, where they saw a sweet firefly flying on the lake surface.
Ye Yinchuan appreciated it.
Although the original illustration describes Sweet Firefly as a firefly.
But in Ye Yinchuan's eyes, this thing looked like an alien, a square and round creature.
Sweetie Hotaru's head and body are blue, while her limbs and body are surrounded by what looks like a black bodysuit, and her hair and the ends of her limbs have a purple ring.
The hair is smooth and flat, except for the curls at the bottom.
The antennae on its head and the area around its neck, which resembles a collar, are all yellow.
Its eyes are upturned at the corners, blue like a cat's eyes, and have purple parts at the corners...
When its mouth is closed, it forms a "V" shape, giving it a shy and friendly appearance.
Its wings, blue and transparent, flapped rapidly, keeping it suspended above the water.
Although Ye Yinchuan found Sweet Firefly's design and color scheme somewhat strange...
But its temperament is actually elegant and lovely, especially its expressive face.
Is this Sweet Hotaru? She seems like a sweet girl!
Wow, is that pink mist released by Sweet Firefly?
"It smells so good."
Ye Yinchuan also smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but be momentarily distracted.
"Hotaru's 'Sweet Scent' is itself a technique that can distract enemies in battle, affecting both their attacks and defenses."
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan saw two Pokémon approaching him, one after the other.
These two are clearly electric fireflies.
The electric firefly has many similarities to the sweet firefly, but there are also significant differences.
If the Sweet Firefly was barely to Ye Yinchuan's liking, then the Electric Firefly was a type he wasn't really into...
Of course, this is just a personal preference.
As a Pokémon in general, Volcarona still intrigued Ye Yinchuan.
If the Sweet Firefly's design and color scheme are quite unique, then the Electric Firefly's color scheme is even more bizarre.
Blue skin, red hair, and most importantly, a bit of a Mediterranean look.
Because the electric firefly has a relatively large nose, it looks rather simple and honest.
This guy's mouth is the opposite of Sweet Firefly's. Sweet Firefly's mouth is an upward "V" smile, while Electric Firefly's mouth is the reverse "C", with the corners of its mouth turned down.
Its antennae, yellow and black, are longer and thinner than those of the Sweet Firefly.
The eyes are yellow.
Its body is striped, with alternating blue and yellow stripes.
It's very similar to Sweet Firefly, except for the color. It also seems a bit rounder, giving off a pot-bellied look...
In short, this Pokémon design gave Ye Yinchuan a sense of awkwardness.
On its buttocks, there is a light-emitting organ, like a lamp...
Because it is nearing dusk and the sun is about to set, you can see that the lights on the electric fireflies' tails are lit and flashing as they approach the sweet firefly.
The two electric fireflies noticed each other and both wanted to get closer to Sweet Firefly, so they sped up and seemed to be competing with each other.
"This is a competition among males. Studies have shown that the first electric firefly to arrive after the Sweet Firefly releases its sweet scent has a better chance of being favored and thus gaining the right to mate!"
Ye Yinchuan explained.
"Host, when should we make our move? Should we wait a bit longer? Until there are more electric fireflies?"
Xiao Wu was eager to get started.
In his eyes, both the sweet fireflies and the electric fireflies were points.
"Once they get nearby, it's about time to make our move. There will definitely be other electric fireflies coming..."
Just then, one of the electric fireflies suddenly lit up and accelerated, as if it had turned into a bolt of lightning. It quickly left the other electric firefly behind and arrived next to Sweet Firefly.
Its behavior caught Sweet Firefly's attention, and Sweet Firefly's eyes narrowed slightly.
"This is a flash of lightning. This electric firefly has mastered this move and is very clever. It knows how to use this move to gain an advantage in the first wave of competition."
Since this electric firefly arrived first, it was somewhat awkward for the other one to come later, as it seemed it shouldn't be there but should be at the bottom of the lake.
"Now!"
Ye Yinchuan noticed that more points of light were approaching in the distance; they were other electric fireflies. He immediately spoke, believing that the time was ripe to take action.
"Coo coo!"
The Winged Owl, which had been poised to pounce, swooped down and charged toward the Sweet Firefly.
Xiao Wu's Heracross also acted at the same time.
Sensing the threat, both electric fireflies instinctively protected Sweet Firefly.
"Go, Milotic!"
Ye Yinchuan directly dispatched Milotic, as Milotic could play on its home turf in such waters!
Just as Bulbasaur and Heracross were being intercepted by Emberbug, Milotic controlled the water flow and captured the Sweetie.
[So beautiful! This is the streamer's Milotic!]
[She's so powerful, it feels like Hotaru has absolutely no chance against her!]
Both the Winged Owl and Heracross caught an Electric Firefly.
Two more electric fireflies rushed towards this side, their determined eyes suggesting they might be ready to play the hero and rescue the damsel in distress...
puff!puff!
Milotic flicked its tail, and two jets of water shot out from underwater, accurately hitting the two electric fireflies. Then, the water flow wrapped around them, binding them firmly.
The sense of oppression is overwhelming!
Holy crap, Milotic's control over water is as agile as if it had hands and feet!
[There's a Featherowow in the sky, Milotic in the water, and Snorlax on the ground... and even Litten playing with fire! This streamer is unbeatable!]
I reckon that Cocoyado the streamer has will grow into a top-tier character!
Don't forget the cotton ball; with its help, wow...
The comments section erupted in uproar.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
There was one Sweet Firefly and four Electric Fireflies... Ye Yinchuan captured them all in an instant!
If it weren't for my Heracross taking one down, I wouldn't even have gotten a sip of soup!
"It seems the Sweet Fireflies and Electric Fireflies here aren't very strong... We'll have the Sweet Fireflies continue releasing their scent to attract more Electric Fireflies, and we'll be able to catch enough of them soon. But we'll have to keep looking for Sweet Fireflies."
Ye Yinchuan looked at his achievements and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Catching these Glowbugs and Volcaronas was incredibly easy, but capturing them one by one with Poké Balls was quite a laborious task.
Do you want to hear what you're saying?
[A villain, an absolute villain!]
"Um... I don't have enough balls."
Soon, Xiao Wu felt like he had caught so many electric fireflies that his hands were sore.
Ye Yinchuan said he could sell a few of Xiao Wu's.
He brought a backpack full of balls, 15 in total.
Two Sweet Fireflies, eight Electric Fireflies, and the Cotton Ball I caught, totaling 11.
Keep one as a backup, just in case you discover any rare Pokémon.
Ye Yinchuan can give the remaining four to Xiao Wu.
"How could I possibly accept that..."
Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, but was eventually persuaded by Ye Yinchuan to buy the four Poké Balls at a price slightly higher than the market price, in gratitude for the information provided.
As for why it's slightly higher...
Can the price of bottled water in a convenience store be the same as that of bottled water in a scenic mountain?
Of course, Ye Yinchuan didn't care that much; it was Xiao Wu who brought it up.
"I didn't expect to catch so many at once, so I didn't bring enough balls. You're really something, anchor... With this kind of skill, you'll be a full-fledged employee soon!"
The two acted quickly.
Before long, Ye Yinchuan caught two Sweet Fireflies and eight Electric Fireflies.
The feeling of frantically capturing the prey was quite exhilarating, even though the process was tiring.
Xiao Wu also reaped a great harvest, far exceeding his expectations.
"Hey streamer, look! That Sweet Firefly looks a little different!"
While helping Xiao Wu search for a Sweet Firefly, the two discovered the situation.
