Chapter 147 The Effects of Suicune's Holy Water! Feebas's Scales!? Snorlax Can Splash Cold
Chapter 147 The Effects of Suicune's Holy Water! Feebas's Scales...!? Snorlax Can "Pouring Cold Water"?
First up is Snorlax.
Because it was the first to drink the Water Lord's holy water, the changes in its body were the fastest to appear.
[The Gluttonous Pokémon: Munchlax]
[Level: 7 → 10]
Individual Value: C-grade (65) → C-grade (66)
[Mastering the move: Pouring cold water]
"...?"
Ye Yinchuan slowly typed out a question mark.
He could understand the level increase and individual value increase.
But suddenly Snorlax learned a Water-type move. What happened?
However, there's no need to overthink it.
Some Pokémon are capable of using moves that are not of their own type, but they are relatively rare.
Most of them are determined by their birth, such as having an egg-shaped attack.
So, does this mean that my little Snorlax actually has some Water-type potential, which was activated after drinking Suicune's holy water?
I was momentarily dazed.
Ye Yinchuan remembered it too.
In the Pokémon series, Munchlax is capable of learning many types of moves through TMs.
Such as Grass-type "Seed Bomb", Ice-type "Ice Punch", Psychic-type "Thunderbolt", Dark-type "Crunch", and Electro-type "Thunderbolt"...
Some of Ye Yinchuan's ideas are relatively easy to understand, such as "crushing," which involves teeth and biting force, and theoretically can be performed.
But those that definitely require the participation of elements, such as "Frozen Fist" or "Thunder".
For example, how do you play with the "Cold Water" move that Munchlax has learned?
Unless one possesses powerful water-type spirit energy, creating water out of thin air seems unrealistic.
It has to be cold water, which probably requires some ice-type energy.
Ye Yinchuan didn't have much time to dwell on it.
Because besides Munchlax, changes are still happening to his other Pokémon one after another.
The Fire-spotted Cat is licking rather slowly, and it's only halfway done so far.
So, it was actually the ugly fish that changed first.
It was clear that the Firefly Cat noticed the amazing changes happening to its companions. After its aura seemed to become more powerful, the Firefly Cat licked them much faster.
Ye Yinchuan could hear its inner voice even without using the "Heart of Listening".
It's probably saying: You deadbeat, lick it already!
In short, a noticeable glow appeared on the ugly fish's body.
The panel then underwent changes.
【Fish Pokémon: Feebas】
[Level: 13 → 15]
Individual Values: Grade A (169) → Grade A (171)
[Learned Moves: Impact, Water Gun]
"this……"
Ye Yinchuan was pleasantly surprised.
Although Feebas is currently at the highest level among his Pokémon.
But in reality, their combat strength is extremely weak.
There are two reasons.
One reason is that its racial stat is as low as 200.
Another reason is that even at level 13, there is only one move: jumping.
This is a common problem for both Feebas and Magikarp: they are extremely weak in the early stages.
At the same time, since jumping is hardly an offensive move, even with luxurious conditions like a swimming pool, you can't level up quickly through battles.
But now, a cup of Mr. Water's foot bath water immediately changed Ugly Fish's fate!
The individual value increased by 2 points.
Although it's nothing to Ye Yinchuan, who has immense influence.
But for most trainers, this slight increase in individual stats is something they can only dream of.
No matter how hard you train, it's almost impossible to do.
The skills have been directly enhanced with two practical and basic attack moves: ramming and water gun.
For Ugly Fish now, a good foundation doesn't mean a bad one.
On the contrary, because of the foundation, there is more room for training.
After all, techniques like impacts and water guns are common moves, and there are plenty of training tips for them available online.
At this moment, the desire to take Feebas and the other Pokémon to the swimming pool for training became even stronger.
"If Feebas's training goes smoothly, it means it can evolve into Milotic sooner! This will be a huge boost for both it and my streaming career!"
Although Ye Yinchuan was not in a hurry, this big move he made, once it was played, would be a game-changer!
While it may not cause a nationwide sensation, it will certainly leave fans and trainers of Water-type and Fish-type Pokémon speechless!
[It's kind of scary; this streamer is laughing while his body is glowing.]
[Look how happy the streamer is! This water for washing feet with Mizuki must taste really good!]
Wait, look closely, isn't there something strange about that ugly fish?
Even without the comments section saying so, Ye Yinchuan had already noticed it.
That is, besides the changes on the panel, the Ugly Fish also has special characteristics on its body surface.
"Family members, this is...you've seen it too!"
Ye Yinchuan looked at the ugly fish in the aquarium and was overjoyed, almost slapping his thigh.
[I can't see clearly, host, bring it closer!]
[Has it mutated? How can the Uglyfish grow such beautiful scales?]
"Oh my, oh my, I'm so happy today!"
Ye Yinchuan carefully examined the changes in the ugly fish, then came in front of the live broadcast camera, his excitement and joy overflowing.
"Come on, I'll switch to live streaming on my phone so you can see clearly!"
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan's tone was cheerful.
[What's going on? Is the streamer really that happy? Even with beautiful scales, it still can't change the fact that the Uglyfish is incredibly ugly!]
[This is extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary! I'm asking you, when have you ever seen a streamer this excited? Rarely, right?]
The comments section was buzzing with discussion.
Ye Yinchuan held up his phone camera, pointing it at Ugly Fish, wanting all the viewers in the live stream to see clearly what happened to Ugly Fish and witness this extraordinary day.
"Look! Family, can you see that? These scales are so vibrant, so beautiful, so rich in texture—they're practically works of art!"
After drinking the holy water from Suicune, a special colored scale grew on the body of the ugly fish.
Its colors are vibrant and rich, with smooth transitions, just like a gemstone condensed from a rainbow, sparkling and radiant.
Up close, you can see the details of the color distribution, without a single superfluous or impurity.
Even its shape is quite full, unlike the ugly fish which is tattered and looks haphazard.
As Ye Yinchuan said, the magnificence of this scale was truly beyond imagination.
It's especially unbelievable that it grows on an ugly fish.
Wow! It's so beautiful! Can I buy these scales, streamer?
[Unbelievable! Why does Feebas have these scales? Is this the power of Suicune's sacred water?]
But...it feels so out of place! It's like a really ugly woman with...no, I should say one really beautiful eye. It's kind of jarring!
These scales should belong on goldfish! Or rather, if the entire body of the ugly fish could be covered in these scales, it could be renamed the beautiful fish!
Undoubtedly, the changes in Ugly Fish are enough to amaze the audience.
"Like I said before, you don't understand Feebas's value. You can say these scales are Suicune's power, but in my understanding, they are also Feebas's hidden beauty."
These Pokémon are like caterpillars transforming into butterflies; only after going through an ugly stage, being disliked, hated, and looked down upon by many, can they evolve into their most beautiful form.
"When my ugly fish evolves, you'll realize that these scales are only one-thousandth of its true beauty!"
[Is this some kind of exaggeration? Even wild Pokémon don't eat Feebas much because they think it's ugly. Are you sure it has an evolved form? And a very beautiful one at that?]
I trust the streamer. I may not know UglyFish well, but I know the streamer very well!
Is it too late to start raising feline wrasses now?
[I just graduated from university and am planning to start my own business. Is there any future in farming ugly fish?]
[Anchor, we'll be waiting to see!]
The comments section was buzzing with discussion.
The Ugly Fish is so controversial, especially the one with beautiful scales.
"Ugly Fish, you and everyone else are my partners, my treasures."
Ye Yinchuan looked at the Ugly Fish with tenderness and affection in his eyes.
"If you were to suddenly evolve one day, I might actually feel a little sad about how you look now..."
"Ooh..."
The usually slow-witted Ugly Fish seemed to be responding to Ye Yinchuan at this moment.
"But no matter what, I hope you can grow up naturally and healthily. If you can become stronger and more beautiful, that would also be a good thing for you."
Because a Pokémon's lifespan is linked to its strength and evolved form.
Therefore, considering this point alone, Ye Yinchuan would hope that the ugly fish could evolve smoothly.
Feebas has low base stats, which to some extent means that its lifespan is not very long.
Only by evolving into Milotic can it stay with itself and the rest of the group for longer.
"Ooh..."
A glimmer of light seemed to flicker in the Ugly Fish's dull and empty eyes.
It sways in the aquarium, expressing joy and hope for the future.
This is also a response to Ye Yinchuan.
At the same time that Feebas was undergoing its transformation, the changes on the Owl Egg had already subsided.
Ye Yinchuan took a quick look and saw that the Wood Owl Egg was now in "very healthy" condition, which made him very happy.
"Family members, do you know? When I bought this Woodowl Egg from the store, it was already weak and could die at any moment."
I took it to the vet, and they prescribed a whole bunch of medicine. I had to apply it every day, and each time I had to wait...
From now on, I won't need to apply medicine to it anymore... It's healthy now and will hatch soon!
When this person is happy, they can't help but talk more.
Suicune's Holy Water can make Rowlet's eggs healthy, even very healthy.
He was really happy!
This proves that he restrained his inner desires and made the right and effective choice.
[Huh, it's a weak egg? The streamer has saved a little life!]
[You deserve to make money! Who would willingly pour a cup of holy water onto an unhatched egg?]
I can totally understand how the streamer feels. I've done something similar before, but unfortunately, I couldn't save that one; it weakened and died.
Besides becoming healthier, Rowlet's eggs also undergo some other changes.
The eggshell surface subtly shimmers with a platinum-gold light, which, though barely noticeable, elevates the egg's quality by more than one level.
Ye Yinchuan also turned off the lights so that the audience could enjoy the show.
Now, he's like a mom who loves to share photos of her child. Her child is healthy and beautiful, and she has a strong desire to share.
Of course, Ye Yinchuan wasn't just showing off mindlessly; the audience also loved watching it.
【Wow! Golden legend! 】
[Does Suicune's Holy Water really provide such a significant boost to Pokémon eggs? I've never seen an egg like this before!]
[I have a feeling this egg will definitely hatch into a top-quality specimen!]
Ye Yinchuan smiled broadly.
These are only the surface-level observations.
Looking at Rowlet's stats, it's safe to say that it has undergone the most significant changes among all the Pokémon!
Pokémon Egg: Rowlet
Individual Values: A-rank (189) → S-rank (200)
【Characteristics: Distance → Distance, Lush】
[New Egg Move: Nightshade]
[Trait: Different Color Flash]
"His individual values increased by 11 points? He now has two abilities? And he's got a new Egg-type move, the Ghost-type 'Dark Shadow'!"
To be honest, this improvement, upon closer inspection, is a bit exaggerated.
Ye Yinchuan believed that this was not something that could be achieved with just a cup of holy water.
This is about the same level of blessing that Suicune himself came to bestow.
While feeling excited and overjoyed, Ye Yinchuan's mind gradually regained its rationality and capacity for thought:
"Why? Why did the Rowlet Egg receive the greatest boost? Is it because it's an egg and hasn't fully matured yet, making it more malleable?"
This conjecture is entirely reasonable.
Just as children are more malleable than adults, they have more possibilities in both learning knowledge and physical training.
The same principle applies to Pokémon.
A newly hatched Pokémon is completely different from an adult Pokémon.
This wooden owl egg hasn't even hatched yet, so it's no exaggeration to say it has immense potential.
"Or perhaps it's because of their types? Suicune is a Water-type, Rowlet is a Grass-type, and Water nourishes Grass... So, aside from Feebas, whose base type is Water, Rowlet, the Grass-type, would get the biggest boost?"
Ye Yinchuan believes that this conjecture is quite reasonable.
But then he immediately thought of another possibility:
"Could it be that Rowlet was always meant to have this much potential, after all, it's a Shiny Shapeshifter. It just weakened for some reason, which limited its potential... Suicune's Elixir restored its health instantly, which is equivalent to restoring it to its original state!"
Ye Yinchuan's eyes lit up.
He also believes that all three possibilities exist.
Could such a dramatic change be the result of three factors combined?
In this way, the legitimacy is instantly boosted.
"Hmm...that must be it."
What is the streamer whispering about?
[Honestly, streamer, how did the Suicune's Holy Water taste? What changes have occurred in your Pokémon?]
"It tastes great! I feel like my vision has become clearer, my body feels lighter, and I don't feel tired at all."
As for my Pokémon... Suicune and Holy Water will have some effect on them, more or less.
Ye Yinchuan then gave a brief explanation to the audience.
[Really? Individual values increased?]
【No, you mean your Snorlax has learned to pour cold water?】
"What's the big deal? I'll show you later. But I'm not entirely sure, though, based on some details, it seems to be like this."
Ye Yinchuan also left himself a way out, which turned out to be a self-inflicted embarrassment.
As for the more outrageous changes, such as the changes that occurred to Rowlet, like having dual traits and a significant increase in individual values, he didn't mention them at all.
It's hard to explain.
Another concern is that someone might come to my house with a sack and steal my eggs!
Although I am confident that my privacy is well protected.
But Ye Yinchuan understood the principle that possessing a treasure can be a crime.
"Meow!"
At this moment, Litten finally licked Suicune's holy water clean.
During this process, it sensed some changes happening in its body.
"As expected, attributes do have an impact. Among my Pokémon, Litten's improvement is the smallest, only increasing by 1 IV... oh, and 1 level."
Ye Yinchuan felt a pang of sympathy, but also suppressed a laugh.
It's heartbreaking because the Litten licked itself so hard for so long, only to gain 1 point of individual value and 1 level, making it the family with the smallest gain.
Trying not to laugh... Haha, that's why too.
"Meow!"
Firefly Cat noticed the smile in Ye Yinchuan's eyes.
It meowed slightly in dissatisfaction, then turned its head away and went off to play.
(Laughing cat! What bad luck!)
"Hmm? This is...?"
Ye Yinchuan noticed something: the Firefly's fur seemed to have become even shinier.
The boost from Suicune's Holy Water is probably more than just 1 point of individual stats.
At least it made Litten healthier and stronger.
Or perhaps, some attributes that aren't even displayed on the panel have been improved without our knowledge?
"Come on, little Kirby, show the uncles and aunties what it means to splash cold water!"
Ye Yinchuan followed his promise and guided the little Munchlax.
I want it to use the moves it just learned.
"Click?"
The little Snorlax put its hand to its mouth, looking completely bewildered.
[Haha, the streamer's boasting has backfired, hasn't it?]
Don't be too hard on Munchlax. It's a Normal-type Pokémon; do you expect it to "pour cold water" on things? Even Water-type Pokémon might not be able to, right? It would need some Ice-type potential!
Ye Yinchuan was naturally unwilling to accept this.
Since it's on the panel, then Snorlax will definitely be there.
The key is how it uses this move.
In fact, this is a problem faced by many trainers in this world.
They can't see a Pokémon's stats, and some moves are unknown even to the Pokémon itself, let alone the trainer.
So, just like that pangolin.
Many Pokémon have hidden potential in terms of moves.
Many of its moves are unknown, such as Munchlax's "Recycle".
This thing is theoretically at the conceptual level.
However, it is difficult to execute in actual combat, and it is also difficult to detect in normal times.
Regardless, as a streamer, Ye Yinchuan has a responsibility to explain the moves to the audience.
"I can only say that you still underestimate the potential of Pokémon. Although different types of Pokémon have different attributes."
However, our classification of Pokémon's attributes only represents its most important characteristics.
I believe that anyone who watches competitions regularly will notice that some Pokémon use moves that are not their own type.
Take Chikorita, one of the most common Pokémon, for example. Although it is a Grass-type, it can also learn the Poison-type move "Poison Powder".
There's also Charmander, who can learn the Dragon-type move "Dragon Breath."
Clearly, many viewers in the live chat wanted to debate the streamer's statement.
[Host, it's understandable that chrysanthemum leaves can produce "poisonous powder," as many plants are poisonous.]
And Charmander knows "Dragon Breath," which couldn't be more logical. After all, the primary form of "Dragon Breath" is fire, and although it's a Dragon-type move, it can actually be considered a Fire-type move!
[Exactly, what does Snorlax use to splash cold water? Even if it could store water in its stomach and spray it out, how would it generate heat?]
[Yes, I've never seen Charmander spray water. So your example is inappropriate! It's also unrealistic for Snorlax to "pour cold water"!]
Upon seeing the comments, Ye Yinchuan's eyes lit up.
That's why people say netizens are full of talent; this has given me a sudden burst of inspiration.
"The human body is 70% water, and most food provides water. Since Snorlax eats so much, it must have a lot of water in its body, right? If not, giving it more water to drink will help it store it, right?"
"As for refrigeration, that's indeed a difficult problem. Could it be that Munchlax's stomach can absorb all the heat?"
Ye Yinchuan thought for a while, then took out some ice from the old, dilapidated refrigerator at home, and poured a large bucket of water for the little Munchlax.
"Kirby, you should learn from me."
Ye Yinchuan drank the water, then put a piece of ice in his mouth and spat it into another basin.
[Host, are you kidding me? You can be a "cold water" too, huh?]
"Click!"
The little Snorlax found it very interesting, so it imitated it.
[Don't be ridiculous, streamer, this doesn't count!]
【Hmm! Although Munchlax is cute, don't think you can get away with being cute!】
Ye Yinchuan wasn't in a hurry. After letting the little Munchlax get a feel for things, he tried to guide it:
"Kibbi, don't drink water now. There's a lot of water in your body, and you need to spit it out so there's more room for food."
"Huh?!"
The little Snorlax seemed to have a flash of inspiration and thought its owner was a genius.
If we could drain the water, wouldn't we be able to eat more?
So, after Munchlax tried a few times, a stream of water gushed out of its mouth.
But the water was steaming, so it clearly couldn't be considered "pouring cold water".
Haha, that scared me! I really thought it was going to be a bucket of cold water!
Did he vomit?
[This is just spitting!]
Ye Yinchuan continued to guide:
"Here's the thing, little Kirby, think about it. When you spit out this water, doesn't it take away some of the heat energy? Heat energy can help you digest food, so see if you can retain all the heat energy..."
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan began to realize that things were getting a bit out of hand.
If this succeeds...
[Host, I'm telling you this now: if you succeed like this, I'll drink the water that Munchlax vomited up!]
[What? Another freeloader trying to get free meals?]
Then, the little Snorlax spat out a stream of water.
This time, the water flow was surprisingly cold, with no heat at all!
Water dripped into the basin, and you could even see faint frost forming on it.
"A bucket of cold water! This is absolutely a bucket of cold water! Kirby, we did it!"
Ye Yinchuan happily hugged the little Snorlax.
The little Snorlax was a bit confused; it didn't know how it had succeeded.
It knew that its owner was happy, and so was it.
Then, the little Munchlax grinned, revealing two tiny sharp teeth!
【Wait, are you really trying to dampen my spirits?】
Where is the person who just asked for water?
This is outrageous!
Are you sure this isn't special effects?
The live chat was filled with shock.
Ye Yinchuan then said seriously:
"It does sound absurd, but it was the comments on the screen that gave me inspiration."
Of course, first and foremost, I judge and believe that my little Snorlax has indeed mastered this move, but it doesn't know how to use it, so it needs some guidance and help.
If your Pokémon doesn't learn moves or has specific potential, no amount of guidance will help.
So everyone can try developing their own Pokémon, but it's crucial to be realistic and not force them to do things they genuinely can't do.
Ye Yinchuan said this because he was afraid that some viewers might watch his live stream and then imitate him recklessly, torturing their Pokémon.
[Don't worry, host... we really can't learn this!]
First of all, we don't have a Munchlax!
[Thanks for the reminder, streamer! I almost thought my Charmander could also be splashed with cold water!]
[The host knows how to pour cold water on things; I feel really disheartened right now!]
"Stop with the nonsense, anyone want to connect? Free diagnosis, specializing in difficult cases!"
Ye Yinchuan calmed himself down by looking at the comments and then shouted with a smile.
The 6K update is here! The Suicune storyline is temporarily over, and all the main Pokémon have received their upgrades!
