Chapter 357 Crystallized Sandshrew, Successfully Tamed! Number 1 Globally
Chapter 357 Crystallized Sandshrew, successfully captured! The first one in the world! Shocking the Pokémon academic world!
A Pokémon that's too crystallized, it really is a Pokémon that's too crystallized!
Not to mention the excitement of the audience, Ye Yinchuan was also somewhat incredulous at first. The Crystallized Pokémon, which he had been eagerly anticipating but which seemed to have been nowhere to be found in this world, had actually appeared right in front of him without any warning.
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but take a closer look at the crystallized Sandshrew in front of him. This Sandshrew was level 35, but it hadn't evolved yet. Its appearance was just as mentioned before. Its whole body was like crystal, shining like the facets of a brilliant gemstone. It was several times more gorgeous than a shiny Pokémon!
How can there be such a Pokémon? Am I dreaming? This is completely illogical!
[My goodness, if word got out about a Pokémon like this, it would absolutely shock the entire Pokémon academic world!]
[The streamer can't possibly have any excuses this time, can he? He seemed a little surprised too!]
Are you sure that's a crown on that pangolin's head? It looks more like a giant light bulb to me! And it even has lightning bolts inside!
Ye Yinchuan didn't answer the audience's questions directly. Instead, he picked up his phone and started snapping photos of the Crystallized Sandshrew in front of him. He had to capture this rare Pokémon as a memento. This was the first Crystallized Pokémon Ye Yinchuan had encountered since he transmigrated to this world. In terms of rarity, it was no less than any mythical or legendary Pokémon!
Even if it's just a pangolin!
"Brothers, this Sandshrew is amazing! If I'm not mistaken, it's a crystallized Pokémon. This is definitely not an ordinary Pokémon. In terms of rarity, in our current era, just as you said, it's even rarer than a Shiny!"
[Dude, you're not actually going to come up with something like this, are you? Don't be ridiculous. Is there really no Pokémon in this world that you don't know about?]
[Seriously? Such a crystallized Pokémon? This is the first time I've heard of a streamer making this up.]
[In our current era? So, judging from the streamer's statement, this kind of Pokémon existed before?]
Ye Yinchuan nodded. His long-time viewers in his live stream were always good at reading comprehension.
There is currently no record or account of any crystallizing Pokémon in this world, but Ye Yinchuan's usual tactic is to create history where none exists. He simply attributes anything unknown to the general public to ancient texts.
"That's right. I once saw a record about Pokémon crystallization in an ancient book, so I know a little about it. I used to think that those things were made up, but I didn't expect them to be true. However, even according to that ancient book, Pokémon crystallization is only a phenomenon unique to an ancient region called Padia, not a common phenomenon."
[Wow, streamer, how many books have you read? How much Pokémon knowledge do you know that we don't?!]
[They're completely out of step with our time! I even suspect the streamer is a time traveler from the future!]
Okay, okay, has our world gone through some kind of Pokémon End Times? Things related to Pokémon that used to exist seem to have become very rare now!
Seeing the comments on the screen, Ye Yinchuan's expression shifted almost imperceptibly. Some things had indeed been guessed correctly. He was indeed a time traveler, but not from the future; he had come from another world!
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan encountered this wild Crystallized Sandshrew and had a strong desire to capture it. If he could successfully capture it, it would be the first Crystallized Pokémon in the Pokémon world to be captured by a human, a feat that would be incredibly impressive.
If such a Pokémon could appear at the opening ceremony of its own tourist park, it would be an absolute game-changer!
"Brothers, don't rush. Let me subdue this crystallized pangolin before I explain everything to you in detail. If it gets away, I'll be at a huge loss! I really like this little guy!"
Ye Yinchuan made no attempt to hide his affection for this Pokémon.
In fact, during a previous live stream, when he was identifying the little tyrant pangolin of the beast master Xiaoming, Ye Yinchuan had already fantasized about whether he could also have a pangolin of the same power, but unfortunately he had never met a suitable one.
Actually, Sandshrew is a very cute Pokémon.
Especially the Ground type. Ye Yinchuan doesn't have any top Pokémon of this type yet. Now the opportunity has come.
Okay, I'm waiting for you online!
With the streamer's skills, taming this pangolin shouldn't be too difficult!
As mentioned earlier, this Sandshrew is of a relatively high level. Generally speaking, Ye Yinchuan doesn't like wild Pokémon of such high level because it's difficult to establish the kind of intimacy and trust that is nurtured from the moment a Pokémon hatches from its egg.
But who can blame them when this pangolin is so rare?
When you meet someone you truly like, all those implicit or explicit conditions become irrelevant.
At this moment, when the crystallized pangolin saw Ye Yinchuan and his group, as well as the crystal flower, its expression was somewhat dazed and cute, and it didn't seem very aggressive.
Ye Yinchuan used his discerning eye to examine its panel in order to facilitate the subsequent subjugation process.
【Sandshrew, the Mouse Pokémon】
[Level: 35]
[Attribute: Ground]
[Gender: Male]
[Racial stats: B-rank (300)]
Individual Value: Grade B (110)
【Characteristics: Sand-repelling】
[Character: Naive]
[Skills: Grab, Round, Sand Slash, Roll, Combo Slash, High-Speed Spin, Stomp, High-Speed Star, Wild Grab, High-Speed Movement, Cleave, Dig, Electric Discharge, Crystal Burst]
[Status: Relaxed, Doubting, Too Crystallized]
[Evolutionary Path: Sandshrew - Sandslash King]
【Special trait: Crystalline Electricity】
This sand rat absorbed special crystal energy, which unlocked a potential within it, allowing it to transform into a crystal form. Its crystal type is electric, and it possesses the move "Crystal Burst." Furthermore, in addition to having the potential to learn electric-type moves, the power of its electric-type moves is enhanced!
Looking at the stats of this pangolin, Ye Yinchuan seemed to be deep in thought. If we disregard the fact that it is too crystallized, the stats of this pangolin are quite ordinary.
However, it is precisely because of this unique trait that this sand rat possesses a second attribute besides the ground, making it even more comprehensive than the mechanics in the game and in reality.
After all, in the game, even if Sandshrew were to crystallize, it wouldn't be able to master electric-type moves. At most, it could use "Crystal Burst" to deal electric-type damage in battle...
In reality, it's equivalent to having an extra attribute, allowing you to learn electric-attribute moves, which is incredibly powerful.
"Based on the description of this trait, the state of crystallization should not be permanent... I just don't know if it will require the help of a crystal bead to crystallize, as in the original work. Let's take it one step at a time."
Ye Yinchuan's heart stirred. He had already obtained this information, but it wouldn't be of much help in subduing this pangolin.
"Naive... they should be easier to fool, right? Let's use the old tricks."
The so-called old trick is nothing more than using both hands: first, lure them with delicious food to lower their guard, then get closer and make friendly contact and touch them...
For most people, the second step might cause serious problems, but Ye Yinchuan possessed the miraculous healing power of a god, so this process was just a formality for him.
However, Ye Yinchuan now has an even more ingenious approach: he uses his Pokémon as translators to try and communicate with Sandshrew, directly stating his purpose and getting straight to the point.
The reason why it was so easy for me to subdue the two Zoroarks, Little Drunkard and Little Avatar, was largely due to the role played by their leader, Zoroark.
In other words, theoretically, one could also use their own Pokémon as an intermediary to persuade wild Pokémon to join.
Ye Yinchuan pondered for a moment before deciding who to entrust with the task.
His gaze swept over the Pokémon.
Snorlax? This thing is too big, it's easy to feel intimidated, and while it's okay to talk to it, trying to persuade it doesn't seem appropriate.
Forget about the Blazing Roaring Tiger; it would be strange if they didn't fight if they went up there.
Sniping tree owls is something I might consider...
The wind sprite has the air of a social butterfly, but if it plays a prank, it's hard to handle the situation!
"Kodora, why don't you try telling this sand rat that you want it to join our team?"
"Clang clang?"
Kodora looked at Ye Yinchuan, as if to say, "Me?"
After glancing at the dazzling, luminous Crystal Sandshrew, Kodora couldn't look directly at it and subconsciously lowered its head. It... was shy!
"Alright, Sniper Tree Owl, you and Kodora go together, take the food with you."
Ye Yinchuan took out some Pokémon canned food, and after confirming that it was the type that Ground-type Pokémon could accept, he gave Incineroar a wink.
The Incineroar reluctantly spewed flames from its belt, heating the canned food. The aroma of the Pokémon food immediately filled the air, making the Sandshrew's eyes light up.
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan patted Kodora, urging it to follow the sniper tree owl forward.
And so, the two Pokémon approached Sandshrew and attempted to communicate. Sandshrew tilted its head, and through its inner thoughts, it was clear that while Pokémon could communicate to some extent, communication was quite difficult between wild and domesticated Pokémon, especially those with lower intelligence...
For example, just like people have local dialects, communication would be difficult without a nationally standardized Mandarin.
However, Sandshrew still sensed the friendliness conveyed by the two Pokémon.
Crystal Flower, who had originally bypassed the pangolin, also stood aside and waited patiently upon seeing this scene.
Before long, Sandshrew was enjoying the Pokémon canned food that Ye Yinchuan had brought.
Ye Yinchuan didn't forget to take the opportunity to call GG:
"This canned food is very natural, with very few additives. Even wild Pokémon love it, especially when heated up it's even more fragrant. If you like it... oh no, I mean if your Pokémon at home like it, you can click the little yellow cart in the bottom left corner to order..."
[Starting with zero frames, huh? Caught completely off guard!]
[No, if we're going to talk about crystallization, we'll talk about that later. Are you trying to squeeze in something during a break?]
[Please understand, streamers need to make a living too. I haven't placed an order yet, but I'm looking forward to receiving my order!]
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan also took the opportunity to approach the pangolin, while reminding the audience:
"Wild Pokémon are very dangerous, especially high-level ones. Also, don't be fooled by their appearance. Some Pokémon look very cute and harmless, but they are actually extremely powerful or at a very high level... You might not believe it, but this Sandshrew is level 35! So approaching it rashly is a dangerous act. Do not attempt this if you are not a professional!"
Ye Yinchuan certainly wouldn't tell anyone that he possessed the Heavenly Healer, but after a moment's thought, he added a few more details.
"The streamer has the aura of Ho-Oh and the blessing of Celebi. In other words, he has connections in the Pokémon world. You understand what I mean?"
I understand, but I can't learn it!
[666, you're the most awesome Pokémon outdoor streamer I've ever seen, bar none!]
[That's really cool... With two legendary Pokémon backing them up, which Pokémon wouldn't know what's good for them?]
This is similar to how, if a person is imbued with the aura of a powerful Pokémon, other Pokémon will feel awe and respect, showing them reverence even if they don't respect the person!
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan approached the crystallized pangolin and began to stroke it directly.
The Taijing Pangolin stopped eating, glanced up at Ye Yinchuan, and then continued eating, curling up slightly as it enjoyed Ye Yinchuan's caresses. With the satisfaction of its appetite and the effects of the Hand of Heaven, the Taijing Pangolin experienced unprecedented pleasure.
The instinct of any living being is to continue pursuing pleasure after experiencing it!
When Ye Yinchuan slightly withdrew his hand, the Taijing Pangolin nuzzled against him affectionately, its eyes filled with longing, clearly indicating that it wanted more!
"You want it? Sure, you can come with me from now on, every day is fine."
Ye Yinchuan uttered a devilish whisper, while Taijing Pangolin stared at him for a while, nodding as if he understood.
"Then it's settled."
Ye Yinchuan chuckled and pulled out a Poké Ball, pressing it against the Sandshrew. However, since the Sandshrew was neither injured nor tired, it only sensed a small, dark environment inside the Poké Ball, and its instinct to shrink was not immediately triggered.
"Never mind, it's alright. There's no rush to score a goal. Just stay with us."
Ye Yinchuan instructed the sniper tree owl and Kodora to take good care of their new friend.
[Host, is this how you catch Pokémon? It looks like you're just playing around!]
[Isn't it usually a beating? You think giving him some food, touching him a few times, and saying a few sweet nothings is enough?]
[The Poké Ball didn't even go in, so is the capture successful?]
"Well……"
Faced with the audience's complaints, Ye Yinchuan could only helplessly shrug. "With a single stroke of the Heavenly Hand, Pokémon will come running home with you..."
All the other procedures became mere formalities and rituals!
[Can we start talking about this now?]
"Of course, I just examined this Sandshrew closely, and it's undoubtedly a Crystallized Pokémon. Crystallization isn't a permanent state, but rather relies on a special Crystallization energy. I've only seen some related information in ancient texts, which also mention that there are still many mysteries surrounding Crystallization waiting to be solved..."
Ye Yinchuan had basically succeeded in taming this crystallized pangolin, and he recounted the story in detail.
