Chapter 247 Shiny Shiny Zubat! Egg Move "Giga Drain"! Held Item "Big Root"!
Now that the target for the commission had appeared, Ah Chong had no reason to refuse. He immediately commanded his Pokémon to attack the Zubat.
Ah Chong's Pokémon are well-trained and cooperate well with each other, so hunting them together is no problem at all.
This shiny Grimmsnarl, though somewhat powerful, was no match for the three Pokémon and was eventually carried to Ah Bug's side.
As for why there are three, it's because Ah Chong wants to keep one of the Butterfly butterflies by his side to protect himself.
It's worth noting that during the brief encounter, Zubat displayed a Grass-type move. It opened its mouth wide, flapped its wings, and the Grass-type energy hit the Moroth. Immediately afterwards, energy was seen being extracted from the Moroth and flowing into Zubat's body, and Zubat's condition improved significantly.
"It's a Grass-type move, 'Giga Drain,' and this shiny Grimmsnarl carries this egg move. And did you notice anything special about its foot?"
Even without Ye Yinchuan's reminder, Ah Chong and the audience had sharp eyes and naturally noticed that the shimmering, strangely colored beaked bat had a plant root wrapped around its leg. It looked rather ugly and thick, almost stuck to the beaked bat's body.
Wait a minute? Zubat is a Poison/Flying-type Pokémon, right? It knows Grass-type moves?!
[Upstairs, how long have you been offline? Drain and Giga Drain are both Grass-type moves, but there have been cases and studies showing that some non-Grass-type Pokémon also have a chance to learn them... especially Pokémon like Zubat that can suck blood.]
[It's similar to how some non-Dragon-type Pokémon can still use Dragon-type moves, right? Maybe Zubat's ancestors also had Grass-type ancestry?]
[You can put Grass-type and Drain abilities aside for now. Could you tell me first what's wrapped around Zubat's legs? It looks evil!]
Ye Yinchuan looked at this thing with a flicker of interest. Why would a giant beaked bat have plant parts on its body?
But as he looked at it, something seemed to happen to him, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed...
"Zoobat, Grass type, absorbs... the roots and stems of plants..."
"Large root! Large root (carrying item)!"
The memory of Ye Yinchuan's death suddenly attacked him, and he instantly felt as if his brain was electrified.
I initially thought this world wouldn't have the concept of carrying items like in games, but now it seems that might not be the case. It's just that the way items are carried and their presentation will be very different from those in games…
The thing wrapped around the legs of this shiny, shiny Guraba is clearly the "Megaroot" from the Pokémon games, also known as "Megaroot" or "Giant Root"!
Although Ye Yinchuan had made up for a lot of Pokémon knowledge in this world, he still encountered a blind spot in his knowledge regarding this special type of held item...
At most, he knew that Farfetch'd's green leek was a classic held item, and that some Pokémon carried evolution stones, mainly to enhance moves of the corresponding type, and possibly to help them evolve.
But Ye Yinchuan never imagined that something as abstract as "large root" could be carried on the body by a giant beak bat...
So what he saw before him caused a small shock to his mind and perception!
Ah Chong was also examining the thing on the big-mouthed bat.
At this moment, he was still moving towards a safe location. The original direction of the Volcano Moth was already a raging sea of fire, and no one knew where the fire would spread before it stopped, so he could not stop.
As a wild Pokémon, Zubat is naturally not going to be too well-behaved, but with three Bug-type Pokémon holding it back, it has no choice but to behave.
To put it another way, the moth's tiny hands gripped one of its wings, the beedrill's two stingers braced against its other wing, and the praying mantis's sharp scythes, one held against its neck and the other hooked onto its body...
I ask you, does it dare to move?
It's said that bats and mice are related, and this beaked bat is indeed timid, as cowardly as a mouse...
Generally, beaked bats have their mouths wide open, giving them a menacing appearance...
But this beaked bat is now bringing its mouth close, revealing an awkward yet polite smile.
Even in her slightly fearful eyes, there was a hint of clarity.
Ah, the insect reached out and touched it:
"Snorlax, this thing looks like the root of some kind of plant. I just saw Zubat using Giga Drain, and there was clearly Pokémon energy flowing through this root. Could it be that this Zubat's ability to use Giga Drain is related to this root? Do you know anything about it?"
Ye Yinchuan nodded in agreement with Ah Chong's observations and statements. Ah Chong was indeed a young professional trainer; his observational skills and sharp thinking were quite impressive.
However, Ye Yinchuan believed that he had still gone slightly astray:
"Your thinking is correct. This plant root can indeed enhance the effect of Giga Drain... However, it's not because Zubat possesses this root that it has mastered Giga Drain, but because it already carries the egg move Giga Drain... Based on my speculation, this root is likely to amplify the effect of Giga Drain."
"This root is similar to Farfetch'd's green onion. You can think of it as Pokémon equipment. The Pokémon Research Association calls it a carried item or a carried tool. Pokémon won't carry these on their person unless they have a special effect."
However, Farfetch'd's green onion is exclusive to its species; other Pokémon generally don't carry green onions. On the other hand, roots and other similar items are often not restricted or confined to specific species.
While searching for information and cramming on knowledge about carry-on items, Ye Yinchuan combined his own understanding and was able to explain it to the audience in a short time, even managing to fool them.
Bai Zhi, standing nearby, was often amazed by Ye Yinchuan's outrageous antics.
[So, host, what kind of plant does this rhizome come from? What is its mechanism of action? Does it have a formal name?]
"Good question. This kind of rhizome doesn't actually have a specific plant classification. Any plant with rhizomes can produce this kind of rhizome, but because of the concentrated energy of grass-type spirits, this kind of rhizome is often quite thick and plump... I usually call it a 'large root' or 'large rhizome'."
【Hey streamer, is the name you're using legitimate?】
[I've reported it...]
[The assistant blushed when he drove like that!]
"Ahem, what are you talking about? I don't understand. It's just plant roots and stems, what's the big deal?"
Ye Yinchuan also wanted to complain that the way this big root was carried in reality, or rather, the way it was carried by this big-mouthed bat, was unfortunately wrapped around the leg, which was really easy to cause misunderstandings!
"I see, such a large root... truly remarkable!"
Ah Chong ran away while sighing.
Ye Yinchuan, on the other hand, also thought of something:
"Actually, those who frequently spend time in the wild will know that in some special forests, there grows a plant that looks very similar to the tree monster, except that these plants have exposed, thick roots, while the tree monsters use their large roots to cover their feet and disguise themselves as this plant..."
"I usually call this plant the 'genius tree'."
[Holy crap, who can tell the difference between a genius tree and a tree that's weird anymore?]
[6...Speaking of which, not many people probably know what a tree is. It's clearly a Rock type, but it looks like a Grass type. If I didn't watch streamers' livestreams all the time, I'd be completely confused...]
[The prodigy tree... Haha, is the host referring to the three-ball jade pine?]
Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that the kind of tree that looked so much like the Tree Monster would have a special name in this other world.
Three Jade Pine Balls...
Considering the appearance of the tree monster, Ye Yinchuan thought the name was quite descriptive and interesting.
[Wait a minute, if Sceptre can disguise itself as a Jade Plant, then wouldn't it mean that I can find Sceptre by going to places where there are Jade Plants? That kind of Pokémon is pretty rare, right?]
Is it possible that the three-ball jade pine is also quite rare?
So, does having a Pokémon carry the roots of a Jade Plant enhance its absorption effect?
Looking at one of the comments, Ye Yinchuan felt he needed to explain:
"Not all plant roots and stems, even those of the Jade Pine, can become Pokémon holding items... Only when Grass-type Pokémon have abundant energy, and by chance, solidify that energy within their roots and stems, can they become special holding items..."
Of course, there is also a possibility that you can carry it first and then use the Grass-type Pokémon's own energy and the gathered Pokémon energy to nurture it, which is like getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later.
This method isn't something I made up; it's a method published by the Pokémon Association. However, they also said the success rate is very low, so you can try it, but don't have too high expectations...
Furthermore, research shows that carrying ordinary rhizomes of poor quality may cause the spirit's energy to dissipate, but if you can't cultivate a carrier, then you'll be at a huge loss!
The Pokémon Association is currently researching how the elite members of the Farfetch'd population consistently train Farfetch'd into held Pokémon with special effects…
It seems that such large rootstocks are a rare find!
[Ah, Bug is rich again... The shiny Ghidorah Coobat is already valuable, and now it comes with a free carry item?]
[Host, please authenticate this shiny, multicolored gourami!]
"This shiny Ghidorah is pretty good. Its ability is Tremor, its IVs are probably around A-rank, and it carries Egg Drain and Giga Drain..."
The only downside is its timid nature; if you want to use it in battles, the trainer will need to put in a lot of effort... But if you want to keep it as a pet, it's quite adorable.
You're telling me this thing is cute?
[It's so green, it looks like Shrek...]
[It's hard to judge; if it weren't for the flash, I wouldn't even take this oddly colored one for free!]
"I still want it..."
"Hey, what do you guys know? Don't forget that Zubat can evolve. What if it evolves into Crobat? Its looks will skyrocket!"
Ye Yinchuan smiled.
He remembered that the Grimmsnarl in the game was also green with pink wing membranes... but after evolving into Crobat, it seemed to turn into a pink body with green wing membranes. This reversal improved its appearance considerably.
Perhaps this giant beaked bat in this world is the same?
Of course, Ye Yinchuan wasn't sure, so he could only leave one possibility open and didn't rule out the possibility entirely.
"The Pokémon Center is here! And the Pokémon Fire Department too!"
Ah Chong ran all the way and finally saw the people at the Pokémon Center, which meant that he was about to be safe.
Please bookmark 6.9 books!
Along with the Pokémon Center's shuttle bus came several fire trucks, with Water-type Pokémon peeking out, ready for battle at any moment. A significant portion of these were Wartortles.
There will probably be Blastoises too, but because Blastoises are so big, they'll mostly be brought over in Poké Balls...
"I'm a professional Bug Trainer! I'm the one who reported Volcarona!"
Ah, the insect lit up the lights for the people from the Pokémon Center and the fire department to identify itself.
"Get in the car first. Are you hurt?"
The people at the Pokémon Center immediately helped Ah Chong.
Because he escaped in time, Ah Chong was almost unharmed except for some scratches from tree branches. He also protected the hazelnut egg in his arms, ensuring that the egg was not injured at all.
Good heavens, I didn't even notice! Ah Chong was holding the egg the whole time!
[Hazelnut Ball: I knew Ah Chong was a good person to be with!]
[Isn't anyone concerned about the Zubat? It looks like it was accidentally stung by a Beedrill...]
"It's okay, I'm fine."
Ah Chong sat in the car at the Pokémon Center, watching the forest fire in the distance, which almost illuminated the night and devoured everything, while a large number of wild Pokémon were fleeing around him. He couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Are you livestreaming? Is this Kirby's Treasure Hunt?"
One of the comrades on the bus recognized Ye Yinchuan and said in surprise,
"Wait... Ah Bug? You're the Ah Bug who encountered the legendary Suicune? That's right, you, the shiny Scyther, that's you!"
Ah Chong smiled, never expecting to have such a reputation.
"Host, Snorlax! I'm one of the participants in this Volcarona disaster. Could you please be an online consultant for our Pokémon Center and fire department? After all, we know so little about Volcarona... But this is just my idea, I'll need to ask the captain first..."
Upon hearing this invitation, Ye Yinchuan's expression shifted slightly. This wasn't the first time he had served as an online consultant for others, especially since the invitation came from the Pokémon Center, which would greatly increase his influence and reputation...
Furthermore, Ye Yinchuan didn't want the sudden appearance of Volcarona to cause too much harm to the surrounding Pokémon and people...
After all, Pokémon are disaster-prone. If the Pokémon Center and fire department don't understand them enough and take the wrong measures, it could escalate the consequences or even cause a secondary disaster...
Both morally and logically, Ye Yinchuan had no reason to back down.
The Pokémon Centers are doing better now; you can even get an online advisor for Snorlax.
[Do I really need to apply to the team leader? Do you even know what kind of influence this streamer has?]
"Alright, it's my pleasure. Please ask the captain for permission. I'll answer any questions you have about the Volcano Moth without reservation."
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan began to tell the commissioner some information about the Volcano Moth. Although he had already mentioned it once during the live broadcast, he didn't mind repeating such an important matter.
"I understand. So, our top priority at the Pokémon Center right now is to seal off the border and prevent the fire from spreading... but we don't recommend provoking Volcarona... This area has been marked as its territory. As long as we control the fire and don't enter its territory, the danger is minimal... But if we enter its territory and anger it, Volcarona might go berserk?!"
After listening to Ye Yinchuan's explanations, the specialist sorted and summarized them out. This was a form of verification to avoid misunderstandings.
"Yes, that's right."
Ye Yinchuan said decisively, "Although there is no clear standard, in my opinion, Volcarona is a disaster Pokémon of the same level of danger as Tyranitar... or even more so!"
Sandstorms and earthquakes may leave survivors, but fires and suffocation... leave devastation and barren land!
[My goodness, after hearing what the broadcaster said, the Volcano moth is absolutely terrifying?]
[Just thinking about it is terrifying! Please, please, please don't let the fire moths come here! I advise you not to mess with them! Let this land burn as it is; cut your losses while you can!]
The commissioner realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately contacted the team leader:
"Captain..."
"All personnel, get ready. What we need to do now is cooperate with the fire department to extinguish the fire, open a passage... enter the fire scene, rescue the injured Pokémon, and check the people in the area!"
All combat personnel are in position. If the Volcano Moth exhibits obvious aggressiveness, attempt to capture, imprison, or even kill it!
Upon hearing the captain's shout, Ye Yinchuan felt a chill run down his spine.
Although the rescue personnel and Pokémon, and even the imprisonment and extermination of wild Pokémon, are all very basic operations, there's absolutely nothing wrong with them...
But we also need to figure out the target and the situation!
This is a disaster Pokémon, Volcarona, and an elite one at that...
No offense intended...
But Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but ask, "How many dishes did you have to drink like this?"
"No, absolutely not! Captain! I've been in this position for so long and have never talked back to you, but this time, you have to listen to me!"
This commissioner was clearly more anxious.
Because the battalion commander's battle plan is not only completely contradictory to the conclusion given by the anchor, but also completely contrary to it. If it is really carried out in this way, there will definitely be big problems!
"Xiao Wang! I don't know what's wrong with you! But the situation is urgent. Our Pokémon expert, Professor Jia, said that there are bound to be a lot of Pokémon trapped inside the fire!"
Furthermore, if that fire moth is aggressive, our rescue efforts will be futile unless the source is extinguished, and the fire will remain uncontrolled!
"Captain...I..."
The clerk, named Xiao Wang, was so anxious that he was somewhat incoherent.
"Xiao Wang, let me say a few words to your captain."
Upon seeing this, Ye Yinchuan sighed slightly, thinking that so-called experts are the most harmful people!
"Hello, Captain, I'm Kirby Jianbao, a streamer with nearly 400,000 followers. There are currently over 100,000 people watching my stream. I hope you can consider my suggestion..."
The captain originally intended to end the communication, then berate Xiao Wang for his messy behavior, and then settle scores later...
But hearing about nearly 400,000 fans, hundreds of thousands of online viewers, and the recently rising and well-known name of Kirby, is quite surprising.
He couldn't help but be surprised and suspicious:
"Snorlax Detective... the Snorlax Detective from the Misdreavus incident? What's your opinion? Please share!"
