Chapter 569 Needlefish Schools and the Unique Emerald Green Area Formation! A Deep-Sea Giant Suddenl
Chapter 569 The Thousand Needle Fish School and the Unique Emerald Washing Area! A Deep-Sea Giant Suddenly Appears?
In fact, the splicing method that Ye Yinchuan told Professor Ji was precisely that of the gill ichthyosaur.
The Pokémon Dracovish is actually quite abstract to talk about.
In the original Pokémon setting—
There should be four types of fossils: birds, fish, dragons, and marine mammals, but none of them are complete.
In the game, you can give two kinds of fossils to a research institute called "Mosh" so that they can be pieced together and restored by a machine to create a combined Pokémon.
So, to some extent.
Dracovish is a Pokémon that shouldn't exist.
In the anime, it's similar. There's a researcher named "Churu" who recreated Ash's Dracovish and Goh's Umbreon.
Mao Shi, Chu Lu —
Corresponding to recklessness and rudeness, the prototype of the ichthyosaur itself also reflects the fact that a former fossil researcher did not have a rigorous understanding of fossils and haphazardly pieced together a creature that did not exist.
But then again.
The encyclopedia also explicitly states that they were active in ancient times but became extinct for various reasons.
This clearly creates a conflict with the premise of "a modern restoration error, an accidental birth".
In short.
As a Pokémon existing in the original series, it can be recreated and brought to life in this Pokémon world. It's even uncertain whether this Pokémon originally existed.
What is called "error" may also be a kind of "correctness" that defies common sense!
After all, the official Pokémon lore doesn't provide a standard answer.
Besides Dracovish and Thunderbird, by piecing together fossils of fish, dragons, birds, and sea monsters in different ways, it is possible to create two more Pokémon, Thunderbird and Dracovish.
If there is no single fossil that provides a complete prototype.
In Ye Yinchuan's personal opinion, the Gilling Sea Beast and the Thunderbird Dragon are the more correct answers.
Because there are obvious conflicts between both the ichthyosaur and the thunderbird sea monster.
According to the lore, the ichthyosaur possesses powerful running ability but can only breathe in water.
Thunderbird Sea Beast's upper body is frozen by the ice attribute of its lower body, causing it to have a runny nose.
In fact, this kind of setting reveals a sense of humor.
As for gillfish and marine mammals—
They even went extinct because their heads were upside down, making it difficult for them to breathe.
But if its head is correctly fused, then is it possible that it is a relatively correct combination?
At least one thing is certain—
With current discoveries and technology, these are the only ways to reconstruct those fossils!
That concludes my interview with Professor Ji Miaomiao.
Ye Yinchuan glanced at the live stream chat, where the comments were still fiercely debating the strange structure of "fish head and dragon tail," and simply smiled calmly.
He knew that it wouldn't be long before the facts proved everything, and that the Dracovish would appear in the public eye as an unprecedented fossil Pokémon.
"Alright, alright, let's stop the discussion about fossil Pokémon for now."
Ye Yinchuan clapped his hands, drawing the audience's attention back.
"It's getting late, let's end today's live stream with the last call."
As soon as he finished speaking, he also casually accepted the request from a viewer with the ID "Fishing Boy".
Sizzle—
Screen switch.
A vast, boundless expanse of azure sea appeared before everyone's eyes.
The sunlight shone on the sea, making it sparkle.
In front of the camera is a young man with tanned skin, who looks to be in his early twenties, but with unusually bright eyes.
He was sitting in a small speedboat, surrounded by a sharp-eyed giant swallow and a robust swamp monster.
"Hello, host! My name is Ayu, and I'm an ocean trainer!"
The voices of young people are full of passion and energy, like the ocean.
"I recently discovered a group of needlefish in this area of the sea."
As he spoke, he pointed the camera at the seawater below.
Beneath the clear seawater, one could see round, spiky blue figures swimming in groups.
Sometimes they inflate their bodies, like a fully inflated ball.
At times, it contracts rapidly, spewing water from its mouth to propel itself forward.
There were so many that there were over a hundred of them.
The scene was quite spectacular.
"Thousand Needlefish, Water/Poison type, Balloon Pokémon."
Ye Yinchuan then moved on to the familiar science popularization segment.
"Everyone should be familiar with this Pokémon. It has a bad temper and a very strong sense of territory."
"Their most distinctive feature is that they swell up by drinking a large amount of water in one gulp, causing all the poisonous needles on their bodies to stand up."
"These poison needles contain potent toxins extracted from their prey; the consequences of being pierced by them are unimaginable."
Ye Yinchuan's explanation quickly sparked a discussion among the viewers in the live stream.
Speaking of my city, there was a time when there was an overabundance of needlefish, and almost all anglers were caught in the crossfire.
]
Ugh, last time I went fishing at sea, I caught one that almost killed me!
This thing has a terrible temper; it'll shoot poison needles at the slightest provocation, and it's impossible to defend against!
"Host, I know all of that." The young man on the other end of the line, Ah Yu, scratched his head and chuckled. "I've been tracking this group of Thousand Needle Fish for several days now."
"Because I discovered that among this group of needlefish, there was one—a special one!"
His eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Oh?" Ye Yinchuan's interest was piqued. "How special is it?"
[Here it comes! My favorite part! I always see all sorts of unique Pokémon in the streamer's livestream!]
How special can it be?
"That guy is also a needlefish, but he's completely different from these ordinary needlefish!"
Ah Yu lowered her voice, sounding somewhat excited.
"Its color is much deeper than these guys! Not that bright blue, but a—more like a dark, deep blue!"
"Moreover, the tips of its poisonous needles and its lips are not white, but rather a strange purple!"
"They look like someone you shouldn't mess with!"
"That's why I'm determined to subdue it!"
Upon hearing this, the viewers in the live stream perked up.
[Black needlefish? That sounds so cool!]
[A purplish tinge, incredibly poisonous! I love this color scheme!]
So, is it a mutation? Or just a unique, oddly colored individual?
As Ye Yinchuan listened to Adu's description, his eyes narrowed slightly.
A black body, purple poison needles, and lips —
This image instantly reminded him of a certain regional form of the Thousand Needle Fish.
"Ayu, I have a question for you." Ye Yinchuan's expression turned serious. "Since you want to subdue it, have you prepared the antidote?"
"Of course! After all, who doesn't know to bring antidote when facing a Thousand Needlefish?" A-Du patted a small bag on his chest. "I've prepared three large bottles! All the best ones on the market!"
"not enough."
However, Ye Yinchuan shook his head and directly denied it.
"Not enough?" A-Du was taken aback.
"Ordinary antidotes are unlikely to be effective against it."
Ye Yinchuan's voice carried a hint of solemnity.
"You'll need to have a powerful antidote on hand, or a Pokémon with moves like 'Healing Bell' or 'Aromatherapy' by your side for better protection."
"Because the thousand-needle fish you encountered was not simply a different color or a mutation."
"It is another species of the needlefish, a nearly extinct—a special group, or rather, a special form!"
boom-!
The words "special form" were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears!
[Holy crap! A special form!]
That's really rare; I've never even heard of it before.
[Host, how many more surprises do you have in store for us?]
Seeing the screen full of question marks, Ye Yinchuan simply said calmly, "There is a record of this special thousand-needle fish in an ancient book called 'The Strange Tales of Xicui'."
"I'll tentatively call it the 'Emerald Needle Fish'!"
"Unlike the common Thousand Needlefish, the Emerald Thousand Needlefish is a Pokémon with both Dark and Poison types."
"Their temperament is more ferocious and aggressive than that of ordinary needlefish. The toxins in their bodies are also far more potent than those of ordinary needlefish."
"That purple needle tip contains a potent poison capable of instantly paralyzing large Pokémon!"
"If you want to subdue it, you must be fully prepared; otherwise, you may be risking your own life."
Ye Yinchuan's words instantly made the atmosphere in the live broadcast room tense.
The expression on Ah Yu's face changed from excitement to an unprecedented solemnity.
He never imagined that he was tracking such a dangerous entity!
[Got it, the most poisonous fish among the thousand-needle fish!]
That's truly remarkable!
"It's out!"
Just then, A-du let out a cry of surprise!
On the sea not far away, a violent surge of water was seen!
A "balloon" that was noticeably larger than the surrounding needlefish and was entirely dark in color suddenly burst out of the water!
It was that very fish, the Emerald Needle Fish!
Its eyes were filled with violence and ferocity!
Ahead of it, floating on the water's surface, was a jet-black plant exuding an ominous aura—a water plant.
"That's—Black Soul Grass!"
Ye Yinchuan recognized it at a glance: "A special plant that contains potent poison, but at the same time can greatly enhance the power of Poison-type Pokémon!"
Clearly, a battle is about to erupt!
Whoosh!
The common needlefish in the vicinity also discovered this treasure.
Their eyes turned red instantly, and they surrounded the emerald needle fish from all directions!
"hiss--!"
The Jade Needlefish let out a threatening hiss!
Facing competitors many times its size, it did not back down in the slightest!
next second.
call out!call out!call out!call out!
Countless poison needles, gleaming with a cold purple light, shot out from its body like a torrential rain!
Poison needles dance wildly!
Those ordinary needlefish that rushed to the front were unable to dodge in time and were instantly shot into a hedgehog!
"puff----"
Before they could even utter a mournful cry, their bodies turned a bizarre blackish-purple at a visible speed, and then, helplessly, they turned their white bellies up.
Sold out instantly!
With just one volley, seven or eight needlefish were instantly poisoned!
The potent venom of the Thousand Needle Fish is evident!
Holy crap! That's incredible!
[This combat power is on a completely different level!]
[So cool! This color scheme is amazing!]
However, two fists cannot fight against four hands.
There are just too many common needlefish!
It also seemed to realize that lingering in battle was disadvantageous.
After another fierce burst of poison needles forced back the surrounding competitors.
It puffed up its body, suddenly accelerated, and bit down hard on the "Black Soul Grass" in its mouth!
Then, without looking back, he desperately fled into the distance!
The poison needles on its body had been completely used up in the fierce battle, revealing the pitted and uneven holes where the needles had been stored.
It needs a period of rest before new venomous stingers grow!
"Now!"
Ye Yinchuan's voice, like a thunderclap, exploded in Adu's ears!
"Chase after them!"
"The Thousand Needle Fish's strongest weapon is its body covered in poisonous needles! It's at its weakest when it runs out of these needles!"
"This is your best, and possibly only, chance to subdue it!"
"clear!"
An unprecedented light burst forth in Adu's eyes!
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately steered the assault boat at full speed!
"Swellow! Swampert! Follow me!"
One person and two pets, like arrows released from a bow, chased after the departing black figure at full speed!
The speedboat carved a long white trail across the sea!
The speed was incredibly fast!
As they watched, they got closer and closer to the emerald needle fish!
Fifty meters!
Thirty meters!
Ten meters!
"Now! Swampert! Use Muddy Current! Traps it!"
Ah Yu decisively issued the order!
"roar!"
The Swamp Monster roared and slammed its arms into the sea!
boom-!
A huge, turbid stream of water, filled with mud and sand, shot into the sky, forming a massive whirlpool that crashed down on the fleeing Thousand Needle Fish!
however.
Just as the "turbid current" was about to hit him!
An unexpected change occurred!
Boom! ...
Without warning, a huge, deep red tentacle, several times thicker than the Swampert's body, burst out of the deep sea below!
The tentacles, like the whips of a god, lashed fiercely at the Swamp Monster's "Turbid Stream"!
boom! ! !
The murky water, which was enough to trap everything, was lashed out by this whip and exploded into a shower of water!
Followed by.
A massive, suffocating, shadowy silhouette slowly rose from the depths of the sea.
[What the hell is this?]
Did you encounter a sea monster?
[666 — How exciting!]
The barrage of comments went wild.
The creature that emerged from the sea, accompanied by a towering torrent, stood like a wall of imperial guards, blocking the path of the Emerald Needle Fish—
"Master, announcer—what, what is this?"
The person on the other end of the line trembled uncontrollably.
Just moments ago, we were confident of victory and had a great chance of capturing and taming this Emerald Needlefish.
But who could have imagined that a sudden change would occur, with an unexpected obstacle appearing out of nowhere? Forget about whether they could subdue the Thousand Needle Fish—
You might even be in danger yourself!
Ye Yinchuan remained silent, staring intently at the colossal object rising from the sea, its imposing presence akin to a towering skyscraper. As the seawater receded, its shape and outline gradually became clearer.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a—a stinging jellyfish!"
[A stinging jellyfish? You've got to be a super beast, I'd believe you!]
This is huge!
[And why this color—it's so unusual!]
The viewers in the live stream were seeing such a huge stinging jellyfish for the first time, and its shape was also very different from that of ordinary stinging jellyfish.
"Without a doubt, this is a special individual—"
After the giant stinging jellyfish appeared, it immediately attacked the Emerald Needlefish with its tentacles, but due to its enormous size, its accuracy seemed rather low.
The Thousand Needle Fish trembled all over, frantically dodging in the waves, narrowly avoiding the attack by brushing against the tentacles of the Venomous Jellyfish!
"Host, what should I do now?"
The person on the other end of the line was bewildered.
After several days of tracking, the precious Emerald Needlefish was almost within reach, only to become prey for the enormous creature before it—
After a brief silence, Ye Yinchuan spoke: "Generally speaking, I would advise you to protect yourself, after all, you only have one life—and besides, you are no match for this stinging jellyfish—"
Then, changing the subject, "But there's always a way out. You and this thousand-needle fish—you still have a sliver of hope!"
