Chapter 256 Pokémon Grand Parade! Why are you so skinny, you fragrant pig, like a crocodile? Eevee's Farewell Poem!
The Pokémon Grand Parade is about to begin!
The following rankings are in no particular order, but only according to the order of household registration.
Ahem, Ye Yinchuan's biggest focus lately is naturally on Munchlax.
Last time, we confirmed the specific evolution conditions of Munchlax through the Pokédex.
One of the things I'm most looking forward to next is, of course, the evolution of Munchlax.
[The Gluttonous Pokémon: Munchlax]
[Level: 24 → 28]
[New Move: Mount Tai Press Down]
Individual Values: C-grade (66) → B-grade (101)
The above summarizes the improvements that Munchlax gained over the past week and a half through the [Shadow of the Overlord] training and the [Super Influence] stat allocation.
The level has increased by 4, and the Shadow of the Overlord has been used twice.
The super influence is easy to calculate: 1 point of individual value equals 1000 points of super influence.
To prevent Munchlax from exploding and dying, Ye Yinchuan upgraded it in two separate sessions, spending a total of over 40,000 Influence Points.
For Ye Yinchuan, the points he earns from a single live stream might not seem like much, but in reality, it's like a worker's monthly salary. There's not much here, not much there, but when you add it all up... guess what? It's gone!
"That's really good."
Admiring the increasingly robust physique of the little Munchlax and its no longer shabby stats, Ye Yinchuan's sense of satisfaction was released through his smile.
"Click!"
The little Snorlax struck a powerful, muscular pose to show its increased strength.
(Inner monologue: Okay! Keep eating and training hard! Okay! Protect Master!)
Ye Yinchuan sometimes couldn't help but think that it would be really fun if Munchlax actually learned the "Bulk Up" move one day.
It's certain that Munchlax has some Fighting-type potential, such as being able to learn moves like Brick Break and Focus Punch. Even if its physique isn't suited for boxing, it seems quite suitable for things like sumo, karate, or even tai chi.
Dragon Warrior? Wrong, it's Kirby!
"A B-grade individual value is generally a good thing."
No matter how Ye Yinchuan thought about it, he was overjoyed.
It's worth noting that Munchlax is a Pokémon with very high base stats. Its original D-rank IVs were truly appalling, but now, at B-rank, it's improved by a full two levels…
The difference before and after is truly remarkable!
For most Pokémon, a B-rank Individual Value (IV) is the minimum standard for training them to be suitable for battle.
Of course, you can force your way into Class C, but it will be quite difficult.
As for D-rank... let's not talk about it.
In some ways, the rarity of Grade D is no less than that of Grade A!
This time, Munchlax's upgrade also included mastering a new move, "Body Slam".
Although it requires a certain level to learn and isn't exclusive to any particular class, Ye Yinchuan always felt that this move was tailor-made for Munchlax!
This move involves using your entire body to pin down your opponent and attack, with a certain probability of inflicting a "paralysis" effect.
As mentioned earlier, "paralysis" generally comes in two forms: one is paralysis caused by being frightened, which is Ghost-type paralysis, and the other is paralysis caused by being electrocuted, which is Electric-type paralysis...
The paralysis caused by "Mount Tai Press" is somewhat similar to that of Ghost-type attacks, caused by fear. However, it is also caused by sheer weight, which prevents blood circulation and affects the nerves, resulting in paralysis.
Ye Yinchuan had also studied it. The reason it was probabilistic paralysis was twofold: firstly, it might not be able to scare the opponent, and secondly, it might not be able to reliably suppress the opponent.
Don't forget, Munchlax possesses Ghost-type energy. As long as it incorporates Ghost-type energy into Body Slam, it can cause paralysis very reliably.
Even if the duration and effect of the paralysis are weak, as long as it can render the opponent immobile for a moment, combined with subsequent weight pressure, it can cause a stronger paralysis...
Even a single, decisive blow!
In the game, the effect of "Mount Tai Pressing Down" is that it will always hit enemies in their "shrunken" state, and its power will be doubled.
The original power was 85, but after doubling it becomes 170. Just imagine how powerful that is.
However, the condition of "becoming smaller" is relatively demanding.
In reality, it's completely different.
The power of Mount Tai pressing down is determined by the size and weight of the two sides, or rather, the difference in size between the two. Although it doesn't guarantee a hit, generally speaking, the larger the person, the greater the probability of hitting them.
On the other hand, it cannot be ignored that in reality, "overwhelming pressure" can actually be a winning strategy.
The reason is simple: I've pinned you down. No matter how much damage I cause, you can't move or turn over. How can we play like this?
In the wild, they might still be able to struggle desperately; as long as they aren't killed, the battle isn't over.
However, according to the rules of the game, this is considered a case where the player has no ability to resist, and continuing to fight is a waste of time. The player can be declared the winner immediately!
Ye Yinchuan could already imagine the day when Munchlax, with its round and plump body, would pounce and "crush" its opponent with a single "Mount Tai" attack, easily "instantly" defeating them...
Invincible, absolutely invincible!
Ye Yinchuan's lips curled up slightly as he watched the little Snorlax pull out a handful of Pokémon food from under its arm and stuff it into its mouth. The joy of raising pigs couldn't be more than this.
The little Snorlax glanced at Ye Yinchuan and then offered it to him to share.
Looking at the steaming Pokémon food that smelled strongly of dog, Ye Yinchuan pushed it away, saying, "No, no, I'm not hungry!"
Oh, by the way, just a side note.
Over the past week and a half, Snorlax has actually undergone three training sessions under the Totem Shadow. Since the third Totem Shadow training session was just last night, the effects haven't been apparent yet.
Once the effects of this Overlord's Shadow take effect, with a bit of luck, Munchlax might just reach level 30 and start evolving!
After Munchlax, it's Litten's turn.
At this moment, the fiery cat was right next to the little muffin and accepted the little muffin's "sharing," grinning and eating with great relish.
(This is fresh Pokémon food! Munchlax, I'll accept your flattery, meow!)
Listening to Yanre Miao's inner thoughts, Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated. This Sang Biao was just too arrogant!
But that's why Sang Biao is Sang Biao, not Mimi!
【Fire Cat Pokémon: Litten】
[Level: 24 → 28]
[New Move: Flame Vortex]
Individual Value: S-rank (190)
Ye Yinchuan nodded in confirmation of Litten's improvement; Litten's level was almost synchronized with Munchlax's.
The biggest gain for Hot Cat during this period was naturally mastering the "Flame Vortex" move. The effect was quite good. Not only could it trap enemies, but it could also continuously deal damage if desired. Furthermore, the rotating flames could also interfere with the enemy's vision.
Aside from training with the Shadow of the Overlord, there aren't many battles. Fiery Cat often uses this to bully Feathered Owl, but Feathered Owl's strength has increased, and it can easily break through Fiery Cat's flame vortex...
(In a non-serious state)
So, Hot Cat changed its target and started bullying Coco Doraemon.
Milotic always steps in to help out.
Even the hot cat knows to pick the softest persimmon; its level is lower than Milotic's, and its type is also weak to Milotic's...
Plus, it has a bit of a bias towards Milotic. Don't forget that when Feebas evolved into Milotic, Litten was completely dumbfounded.
Although there wasn't much of a reaction afterward, Ye Yinchuan had already confirmed through his thoughts that Hot Cat held Milotic in a state of both respect and longing...
He's a bit of a fanboy, but unlike Coco Dora's shyness, Hot Cat is just pure tsundere!
Next to the Hot Cat is Milotic.
Ye Yinchuan lined up the Pokémon, but Milotic's size was too outstanding. It looked like a plus-size beauty who was 1.8 meters tall... or even like an eight-foot-tall lady.
The Compassionate Pokémon: Milotic
[Level: 25 → 31]
[New moves: Dragon Tail, Self-Regeneration]
Individual Value: Grade A (169)
"Mildac has also learned 'Dragon Tail,' and its 'Regenerate' ability... I have to say, Milotic's endurance is truly amazing!"
Ye Yinchuan thought of Milotic's current moveset.
With "Life Drop" plus "Water Ring" and "Recovery", it can be said that among Ye Yinchuan's Pokémon, only Munchlax, with its "swallowing" ability, can barely rival Milotic in this aspect.
"Hmm, this Milotic is both offensive and defensive, with unlimited sustain. It can torment opponents in battle and is invincible in the wild!"
Recalling Milotic's last battle with the Shadow of the Overlord, it already had a god-like feel to it.
Milotic's main advantage is that it not only recovers from injuries quickly, but also has top-tier energy recovery, allowing it to unleash a variety of moves as if they were free. In addition, the flashy Water-type moves and Milotic's own graceful form...
Just watching it fight is a pleasure.
Yes, I enjoy the torment from my opponent!
Ye Yinchuan had a friendly chat with Milotic, mainly hugging and cuddling, then looked to the side at Touyu, who had been waiting for a long time and looked on with anticipation.
Reaching out to touch the hair on Touyu Owl's head, Ye Yinchuan felt the hairstyle Bai Zhi had styled for him. The image of Minami Kotori flashed through his mind again, but for some reason, the next second it transformed into Bai Zhi's version of Minami Kotori…
The general logic is that Bai Zhi is a beautiful girl, Minami Kotori is also a beautiful girl, and the Tobi-Owl resembles Minami Kotori, so it also somewhat resembles Bai Zhi...
Bai Zhi styled the same hairstyle as Touyuxiao Zha Nan Xiao Niao so easily, which means that she herself is also good at styling this hairstyle and can use it herself.
Ye Yinchuan shook his head, as if trying to shake off some wild and strange ideas.
【Feathered Blade Pokémon: Owl】
[Level: 17 → 25]
[New moves: Photosynthesis, Peck]
Individual Value: S-rank (200)
"Alas, the effect of the Overlord's Shadow is truly as lonely as snow!"
To summarize the improvements I've made to my Pokémon over this period, it's truly astonishing how much I've gained since then...
I still feel that the Arrowwing is still the image of a Woodowlet in my mind, or even just an egg. The scene of applying medicine to the egg is still vivid in my mind.
"Waaaaah, my Rowlet, gone forever!"
Although the owl in front of me is quite handsome, it's like parents seeing a photo of their child when they're young – the tenderness and nostalgia are overwhelming.
Of course, Ye Yinchuan only thought it to himself and wouldn't show it, so as not to hurt Tou Yuxiao's feelings.
After all, it is what I truly love, whether it is the past version or the present version, I love and cherish it equally.
Just like loving a woman, you can't only love her when she was young, nor can you only love her good points. Otherwise, it can't be called true love. It's just loving your own fantasy, loving a castle in the air.
And then, here comes our little and adorable CocoDora!
(How about that? Isn't this sentence difficult to pronounce?)
Ironclad Pokémon: Cocoyar
[Level: 8 → 19]
[New moves: Roar, Headbutt, Protect]
Individual Value: Grade A (166)
Actually, Cocodora's size has increased considerably since it was first hatched.
Ye Yinchuan's metal mine has already fed two batches of feed, and the rate of consumption is much faster than he expected.
Considering that Cocoyora can eat even more, compared to that, Snorlax doesn't seem so bad...
But then again, once Munchlax evolves into Munchlax, things could change.
It's as if this is a war without gunpowder between a glutton and a money-devouring beast...
"Low level means fast leveling up!"
Ye Yinchuan felt quite pleased with how quickly CocoDora had leveled up in such a short time.
At the same time, he also had a vague feeling that at this rate, it would only be a matter of time before his Pokémon reached level 100... In terms of his life, it would save him a lot of time and energy.
So theoretically, once his Pokémon reach the maximum level, he might have nothing left to do in terms of Pokémon training!
So what should we do? Hehe... then we can raise lots and lots of Pokémon!
"How about opening a tourist attraction someday? Or becoming a farmer? Or even a gym leader, or maybe a Champion? Sounds pretty good!"
People always need a vision.
Only when we are filled with anticipation for the future can we be cheerful and optimistic, and only then will we have motivation in life!
You can have a long-term goal, or you can adjust your goals periodically; that's what we call having a goal!
Cocodora has recently learned three moves, all of which Ye Yinchuan has confirmed are quite practical, especially "Protect," which is practically a Pokémon defensive move and is very suitable for Cocodora's role.
"Hmm... Cocoyar is a late bloomer Pokémon, unlike Rowlet, which evolves at level 10 or so. Let me confirm."
Ye Yinchuan used the [True Knowledge Encyclopedia] to directly determine CocoDora's evolution level in this real world, which is similar to level 32 in the game. It would take at least level 30 to have any chance of evolving.
As for other evolutionary conditions, there are none particularly special ones.
There's just one thing: if enough suitable metal ore can be provided, Cocodora's evolved strength will be very high...
In addition, feeding it special minerals can also cause Cocodor to mutate during evolution, similar to Crystal Onix.
It seems that these Pokémon, which need to eat minerals or metals to build and shape their bodies, are quite adaptable!
"However, I can only feed them this kind of high-quality metal ore right now. I have no idea where to start if I want special ores. Let's take it one step at a time and plan for the long term."
With this, Ye Yinchuan's Pokémon grand parade came to an end.
Cocodora, which recently joined the family, is already level 19, while most Pokémon are in their twenties or even approaching level 30.
"Perhaps, it's about time to start preparing for the professional trainer exams and outdoor live streams."
Ye Yinchuan had always had this vague idea in his mind.
But as it sounds simple, he's actually a complete novice when it comes to actually doing outdoor live streaming.
If a Pokémon's level isn't high enough, there might not be much to watch in a typical wild area, and the pace of the stream might not be as fast.
Venturing into high-level wilderness areas, while offering the chance to encounter various Pokémon that are not usually seen and potentially exploring certain areas, also means facing danger.
In short, this is a difficult matter to weigh. Given Ye Yinchuan's personality, he will definitely make full preparations before taking that step.
Otherwise, why would they risk all sorts of dangers to do outdoor activities when they are already doing so well in their online live streaming business?
If there's one compelling reason for Ye Yinchuan's current situation, it's that the peak of his popularity in the live-streaming treasure appraisal sector has passed.
The number of fans has now exceeded 400,000 and is moving toward 500,000, but the rate of increase has begun to slow down.
In the Pokémon appraisal field, the only one with millions of followers is a national-level appraisal master. However, he doesn't do live streams; he only posted a video on Douyin (TikTok) to announce his entry into the platform. He does appear on TV programs frequently, giving him a bit of a celebrity feel.
If we're talking about serious live-streaming treasure appraisal, then it's the streamers with millions of followers mentioned earlier. But Ye Yinchuan had also watched their live streams, and in terms of both the entertainment value and the number of online viewers, they weren't even as good as his own...
It's fair to say that their fan base might be a bit overrated!
So, if we want to break through again, we either need to create more phenomenal moments like mythical beasts to break into the mainstream, or we can only expand the content of our live streams and broaden our scope!
However, Ye Yinchuan was in no hurry. He knew that there was still a lot of Pokémon information that the public was unaware of. He just needed to release it little by little, step by step...
Becoming the true number one in this field, a streamer with a genuine million followers, isn't a big problem!
"Once Munchlax evolves, I'll register it. In the meantime, I'll also look into the professional trainer exam. Whether it's outdoor or not, I'll try to pass the exam this month!"
Having made up his mind, Ye Yinchuan let the Pokémon roam freely, and they have now officially moved into their new home.
After the late-night snack that day, he actually brought Bai Zhi to his house for a while, since it was on his way.
Ye Yinchuan curled up on the sofa and started searching for questions about professional exams.
But the moment I turn on my phone, even though I'm thinking about what to do one second ago, my hand instinctively opens Douyin (TikTok) and starts scrolling through it...
The first video shows a rather shabby place where a emaciated Pokémon is kept, its head bowed, its ribs visible on both sides of its body...
Ye Yinchuan frowned, thinking to himself, "What kind of Pokémon is this? How can it be so thin?"
It wasn't until the Pokémon looked up that Ye Yinchuan realized it was a fragrant pig, but it was too thin to recognize.
"Is this Pokémon abuse? This fragrant pig is so skinny, I initially mistook it for a crocodile..."
Ye Yinchuan opened the comments section to find out more, and that's when he learned the truth.
It turns out that the video creator was in a car accident on his way back to his hometown and was in a coma in the hospital for several months. This fragrant pig was left unfed and didn't run around on its own; it just waited here for its owner to come back.
The video creator also commented that the first thing he did upon waking up was to have his family find the fragrant pig. After resuming feeding, the fragrant pig has recovered its health. He thanked netizens for their concern and said he would keep the video as a memento.
"As long as it's not abuse, Pokémon are still too loyal."
Ye Yinchuan was somewhat moved.
He continued scrolling through videos, and after watching a few pointless ones, he suddenly remembered what he was originally supposed to be doing...
However, this video has now captured his attention again.
The music in the video sounds like a piano piece; the rhythm is quite gentle and pleasant.
It starts with just a girl holding a cardboard box.
Normally, Ye Yinchuan would probably just swipe past a video like this, but seeing that it had nearly a million likes, he had no choice but to keep watching.
"Is this some kind of unboxing video?"
Ye Yinchuan noticed that the girl was in the dormitory, opening a box with scissors. At that moment, he saw the girl gently touching her eyelashes; she seemed to be wearing very exquisite makeup.
That's understandable. After all, if you want to film an unboxing video and post it online, you definitely want to look your best.
By this time, Ye Yinchuan was already curious about what was inside the box.
The girl carefully and clumsily disassembled the box with scissors, her expression a little strange, making it impossible for Ye Yinchuan to discern her joy or sorrow.
In short, it's an expression that's rarely seen.
She opened the cardboard packaging and took out the box inside. The exquisite box was printed with cute animal patterns, like paws, bones, and silhouettes of puppy heads...
The girl stared at the box in silence for a while. At that moment, the music seemed to pick up in a more upbeat rhythm, and she seemed to have made up her mind before finally opening the lid.
She stared into the box at something furry, her head bowed. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and covered her face with her hands, letting her pent-up emotions overflow uncontrollably.
The music's rhythm remained brisk, yet it underscored an immense sadness.
The girl sobbed, her eyes filled with tears.
Only then did Ye Yinchuan realize that the furry thing in the box looked like a delicate and lifelike doll, a Pokémon doll...
It's an Eevee plush toy.
The girl took the Eevee plush toy out of the box and carefully cleaned it, placing it underneath to remove any scraps of gift paper that had accidentally gotten stuck to it.
She tried her best to restrain herself, but she inadvertently cried, her eyes blurring with tears that ruined her exquisite makeup.
After cleaning the paper scraps off the Eevee plushie, she put the cardboard box aside, hugged the Eevee plushie, stroked its head, cupped its face, and carefully examined every part of it...
She seemed to have no strength left, but she couldn't help looking at it again and again.
The music was getting faster and faster. She was clearly crying uncontrollably, but she was trying to force a smile.
She wore exquisite earrings and a necklace, and a beautiful dress, as if she were dressed up in her best form to welcome it.
Finally, the music slowed down as she cleaned the Eevee doll's fur, and the doll was turned towards the camera.
Although they are lifelike and very cute, dolls are still just dolls.
But it's a doll, and it's not just a doll.
The girl seemed to have composed herself, and then touched the Eevee doll, looking it over with a loving and joyful smile on her face.
I started crying the moment I opened the box. It was so heartbreaking. Every note felt like a knife, stabbing my heart again and again.
People can never accept reality.
It's a farewell, but also a reunion...
I put on my most exquisite makeup to welcome it, just like the first time we met, but I couldn't help crying and ruined it, so it wasn't the same as the first time.
Don't cry, baby!
Looking at these comments, Ye Yinchuan naturally realized what was going on.
The girl's Eevee was gone forever, so she commissioned a clone of Eevee to keep it with her in this way.
Even Ye Yinchuan, a man as majestic as an eagle, couldn't help but have tears well up in his eyes.
He also owns Pokémon, and it's hard to imagine that one day, his once vibrant Pokémon will leave him forever. No matter how much he misses them, he can only keep them with him through images or toys!
"Waaaah... Eat more, Munchlax, eat more, Sangbiao, you eat more too, Togepi, Milotic, and Acrobat, everyone eat more!"
The Pokémon were unaware of his emotions, but they could sense his feelings and gathered around him.
"What would I do without you all!"
Ye Yinchuan's words came from the bottom of his heart.
He then liked the video and forwarded it to Bai Zhi.
Still feeling unsatisfied, Ye Yinchuan even searched for the background music of the video, wanting to know what piece of music it was that was so moving.
I quickly found out that the piano piece is called "Farewell Poem".
The melody is cheerful, yet the poem evokes farewell!
After calming himself down, Ye Yinchuan began searching for information about the professional trainer exam...
