Chapter 376 Living by the sea, seemingly fierce, but actually quite simple-minded.
Chapter 376 A water-type Pokémon that lives in the ocean, looks fierce but is actually silly, and has a very abstract tongue!
"Wait a minute... given Growlithe's trait, maybe it's not Growlithe that's sick and has cancer, but this delivery guy who's been silently enduring the pain all along!"
When Ye Yinchuan realized this, he was deeply shocked.
Even if one possesses an extraordinary ability like the Eye of Treasure Appraisal, what one sees before may not always be the whole truth!
"It seems that some traits really can be hidden for certain reasons. For example, this Growlithe. I've clearly seen it twice, even in person, but this trait of its has only just been revealed now..."
Ye Yinchuan secretly analyzed this series of events, especially those concerning his unique ability.
The saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." A key point is that one must have a good understanding of oneself in order to maximize one's strengths and minimize one's weaknesses.
"Judging from the description of the trait, it should be from the first two times. Since Growlithe was still a baby, or the necessary conditions were not met, this trait was not yet fully awakened, so it was not displayed on the panel... Does that mean that even with my keen eye for treasures, there is a possibility that I might misjudge such a hidden trait?"
Thinking about this, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but sigh. The world of Pokémon appraisal is indeed deep. Even with his cheat-like abilities, he can't say that he can appraise a Pokémon with 100% accuracy.
Of course, Growlithe is an extremely rare occurrence.
[The streamer's expression... is rarely this subtle. Having watched every single livestream, I can confidently say he's thinking!]
[Upstairs, you're just doing this because you have nothing better to do than study streamers, aren't you?]
Is this problem so tricky that even the streamer is at a loss?
[After all, it's cancer. If this streamer has a way to treat it, it would truly be a medical miracle!]
Looking at the comments section, Ye Yinchuan snapped out of his reverie. He looked up and saw the bewildered look in the person on the other end of the line once again.
"I really can't do anything about cancer. After all, I'm a Pokémon streamer, not the Pokémon god."
The host is still so humorous, it's making my morals and my sense of humor conflict.
[Sigh, even the streamer says there's nothing they can do, so there really isn't anything they can do!]
[555... Are Growlithe and the delivery guy destined for misfortune?]
The delivery driver's eyes also revealed heartbreak. Just as he was about to thank the streamer properly, process the outcome, and think of other solutions...
Ye Yinchuan changed the subject:
"But is it possible that this Growlithe's cancer might heal on its own?"
These words immediately caused a huge stir in the live stream, with the chat becoming abuzz with discussion in the blink of an eye.
The person on the other end of the line looked at the anchor with some surprise and confusion, because such remarks really left him completely baffled.
If cancer can heal itself, then why did the anchor tell himself to go to the hospital for a checkup before?
The key point is that the doctor said the cancer cells have spread and metastasized, so how could it possibly heal on its own?
After thinking it over, I felt that these were just words from the streamer to comfort himself, but then I felt they were a bit off.
[Are you kidding me, streamer? This Growlithe is so sick, if it could heal itself, it would have healed long ago. It's not like it's a phoenix, reborn from the ashes!]
[I almost forgot, isn't the streamer the Ho-Oh spokesperson? Could you please summon Ho-Oh to save this Growlithe? Weren't the Legendary Beasts supposed to be Pokémon that were burned to death and then revived?]
When Ye Yinchuan saw the comment mention Ho-Oh, he raised an eyebrow. Theoretically speaking, both Growlithe and Ho-Oh are Fire-type, so their compatibility should be fine. However, Ho-Oh isn't a charity that can be summoned and dismissed at will.
"As you know, Growlithe's evolved form, Arcanine, was once hailed as a legendary Pokémon..."
Ye Yinchuan embellished his reasoning and vividly described it to the audience.
[You mean, a Pokémon can take the brunt of its trainer's illness and even heal itself using its own abilities?]
[Following this logic, from the beginning, it wasn't Growlithe who was sick, but this guy? I'm shocked!]
"I...it turns out I was the one who should have gotten cancer, and Growlithe suffered so much for me..."
The person most deeply shaken was undoubtedly the Connector himself. The thought that Growlithe had become like this because of him was like a knife to his heart, causing him immense anguish.
No, while Pokémon possess all sorts of amazing abilities, this Growlithe's ability is simply unheard of; it's definitely a legendary Pokémon-level ability!
[Say no more, I bet every wealthy and upper-class person in the world with health problems would do anything to get their hands on this Growlithe!]
Ye Yinchuan, of course, understood the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." He repeatedly emphasized that this Growlithe must have a certain level of mutual affection with its trainer in order to bring out its special qualities.
What's there to be afraid of? There's always a solution. If even cancer could be cured, no matter how slim the hope, plenty of people would be willing to try!
Hmm... feelings can be cultivated, even forcibly cultivated!
Seeing these comments, Ye Yinchuan was at his wits' end. Were they all just enjoying the show and making things worse?
He could only embellish the story:
"This kind of Growlithe dog actually carries a huge risk. If you anger it, it might transfer all its illnesses to you as revenge... So, for those of you who want to force love, I advise you to give it rat tail juice."
[Don't listen to his nonsense. If this Growlithe is really that powerful, then let me ask you, why is it in this state now?]
[That's right, the host hasn't answered this question directly yet!]
"This Growlithe can purify its own diseases, but the more severe and intense the disease, the more energy it needs to consume... Cancer is arguably one of the most recognized incurable diseases, so draining this Growlithe dry isn't unreasonable, is it?"
Ye Yinchuan then continued,
"The way to make this Growlithe heal itself is simple: provide it with plenty of energy and nutrients... This will allow its own abilities to kick in and purify the cancer cells in its body, which will then be a piece of cake..."
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan noticed the change in the person on the other end of the line—from delight to apprehension—and added:
"Growlithe is a special dog, so I'm thinking of taking care of it for a while. During this time, I'll provide it with the nutrition and energy it needs to recover. What do you think?"
Ye Yinchuan did this not only to help the Linkers and Growlithe, but also to protect them. If possessing a treasure is a crime, then he possesses far too many treasures, especially something like the Ho-Oh Treasure...
However, he is now protected by the Pokémon Center, so he is much safer.
"Of course, of course! I'll do anything to help Growlithe recover!"
The person on the other end of the line responded immediately.
He had long been at his wit's end, and now that a path had finally appeared before him, he was determined to seize it.
[This... Streamer, please confess, are you after that Growlithe?]
Regardless, the streamer gave Growlithe a chance to survive!
[Hopefully this is just temporary fostering, and it doesn't end up becoming our own!]
"Okay, if you're free in the next couple of days, please bring Growlithe over as soon as possible so I can give it some extra nutrition..."
Ye Yinchuan discussed the coordination with the person on the other end of the line, then glanced at the time and announced to the audience:
"Family members, our live stream is almost over. This is the last live stream session. Are there any more experts left?"
At this moment, many viewers were still immersed in the live stream that had just ended, and some even said, "Don't end the stream, it's not enough, it's not enough!"
But most of the messages were requests to connect with the streamer, introducing their Pokémon or explaining why they wanted to connect with the streamer.
Not long after, a comment caught Ye Yinchuan's attention.
@Popeye:
[Hey streamer, I found a really abstract Pokémon on the high seas, kind of like Wailord, but much thinner... The key thing is its tongue is hilarious, you'll see when you see it, you absolutely have to connect with me, don't miss it!]
"A Pokémon that looks a bit like Wailord, but thinner, and has a funny tongue?"
Ye Yinchuan noticed this comment because he tried to imagine it, but couldn't come up with a vivid picture.
Which Pokémon is Wailord?
If you don't know Wailord, you should at least have some idea about the evolved forms of Wailord, right?
All I know is Ball Ball Flying Fish...
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan decisively accepted the "Popeye" connection request. Not only were the viewers curious, but he also wanted to find out what was going on.
When the video feed appears, you see the deck of a ship and a calm, open body of water. Various water-type and flying-type Pokémon swim in their respective spaces, creating a beautiful blue landscape.
"Hey streamer, I love watching your live streams when I'm at sea and have nothing to do. I've liked your handsome face for a long time!"
When the person on the other end of the line appeared on screen, the atmosphere instantly became more intense.
The image shows a scantily clad, dark-skinned, sexy woman with bright white teeth and a radiant smile. While her words may not be exactly vulgar, they certainly have that vibe.
The sea is so vast, the sky so white, and the water so refreshing!
[Nonsense, it's clearly black!]
[I never would have guessed that someone with such a name is a girl; she's a true sailor!]
What's going on in this live stream? Everyone here is so talented, speaking so sweetly!
"No, although the young lady is uniquely beautiful, you should all stop your nonsense and focus more on Pokémon!"
Ye Yinchuan sighed and said,
"Big Black Jun... no, big sister, where's that Pokémon you're talking about?"
Did I accidentally reveal my true thoughts? We're all men, we understand!
[Hehe... Cute or flashy Pokémon pair perfectly with beautiful women, but of course, a handsome guy like the streamer wouldn't be out of the question either.]
"well……"
Ye Yinchuan sighed silently, because his abilities in all aspects were so high that no one had paid attention to his face, which resembled that of Louis Koo, for a long time.
"Hey there, streamer, right over there."
The girl was quite assertive; after interacting with the streamer for a bit, she smiled and turned the camera around, revealing a giant Pokémon to Ye Yinchuan and the viewers in the live stream.
Because of its large size, it looks quite imposing. The originally calm waves seem to become turbulent when compared to this behemoth.
Although the person on the other end described this Pokémon as a slimmed-down version of Wailord, in Ye Yinchuan's eyes, it was more like a gigantic catfish...
The whiskers on its mouth are a clear characteristic of catfish.
Its body is predominantly blue, with a white belly and tail fins. This makes it quite effective at concealing itself in a marine environment, though it is only truly effective in a vast ocean.
[What kind of Pokémon is this? I don't think I've ever seen it before, but it looks like a formidable opponent!]
Indeed, judging from that look and physique, he seems very fierce. Even in the ocean, he would definitely be a dominant force!
Is there any explanation? Does the streamer recognize this Pokémon?
What's that white thing on its head? It looks a bit like horns, or maybe teeth? It can't be a wreath, can it?
[It looks very imposing, like a crown!]
Seeing the comments discussing this Pokémon, Ye Yinchuan found it quite interesting. After seeing it with his own eyes, he already knew what kind of Pokémon it was.
This Pokémon is indeed a somewhat abstract type.
At the same time, it is also clear that the people in this Pokémon world have some misunderstandings about it.
It's the perfect time for us to shine! Identifying Pokémon and popularizing Pokémon knowledge is our duty!
"Hmm... I actually know a bit about this kind of Pokémon. Don't be fooled by its appearance. At first glance, it looks like some kind of ferocious beast, but it's actually just a goofball."
【You've met someone yet?】
Don't tell me this is another Alola Wailord!
[Upstairs, you've grasped the essence of being a streamer; you can start streaming too!]
[Where is the "foolishness"? Does it mean it's foolishly eating people?]
"Yeah, I also think it's a bit silly. I've been observing it for a while now, and it doesn't seem to know how to hunt. I really don't know how someone so big can survive in the sea!"
The contact person provided additional information.
"Here it comes... Look closely, it doesn't look too bad from the outside, but once you see its tongue, you'll realize how abstract it is!"
As he spoke, the live stream camera focused on that Pokémon.
[The host hasn't said its name yet.]
"Eat Roar, it's called Eat Roar."
Ye Yinchuan quickly replied and typed those words on the screen.
There are actually many details about the name "Chihouba," but there are obviously more important things to focus on right now.
A long-winged gull was slowly skimming across the sea. Perhaps because the gull-eater's body was well concealed, the long-winged gull had not yet noticed its presence...
"roar!"
The Roaring Beast began its attack. Its upper body suddenly rose, a spectacular sight resembling the movement of continental plates or the overturning of an island, with large amounts of seawater flowing down its body...
At this point, Eating Roar King actually looks pretty much like what's supposed to be...
However, the next moment, when the Roaring Tyrant opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue, its image somewhat collapsed.
The tongue of the Roaring Beast was not only blue, but also square-shaped, as if it were a container for holding something...
In short, it's extremely bulky...
The long-winged gull was startled by the tongue's utterly inflexible movement, but only momentarily; it easily dodged the attack.
Then, a somewhat angry long-winged gull flew up to the top of the bully's head and defecated on its tongue...
The damage isn't high, but the insult is off the charts!
"Roar—woo!"
The roar of the Roaring Beast echoed throughout the surrounding sea, sounding both angry and extremely frustrated.
If they hadn't witnessed what just happened, everyone would have thought the voice was domineering and powerful, but now...
It feels like a complete idiot, raging in a state of impotence!
"You see that now? This is the Roaring King..."
Ye Yinchuan shrugged, "Facts speak louder than words!"
