Chapter 579 The Truth About Cradle Lily... A "Scumbag" Trainer Who Started a Romance and Then Abandoned His Trainer? The Truth Will Leave Men Silent and Women in Tears!
Cradle Lily's two eerie yellow "eyes" were fixed on Ye Yinchuan, filled with a primal, inviolable ferocity.
It completely ignored Ye Yinchuan's "persuasion to surrender".
In its simple instincts, awakened from millions of years of slumber, there are only two things.
survive.
And, eliminate all enemies that threaten our survival!
"Gurgle—!"
A deep roar echoed through the cave!
Cradle Lily's eight pink, seaweed-like tentacles suddenly lashed out from the rock wall, kicking up a large amount of rubble!
Its barrel-like body began to wriggle!
A murky, dark stream, filled with silt and malice, swept towards the Overlord Scorpion and the Calamity like a giant python!
Turbid current!
[They're here! The fighting has begun!]
[This Cradle Lily is so fierce! She unleashes her ultimate attack without warning!]
[Turbid Current! This move not only deals damage, but also restricts movement and vision; it's absolutely disgusting!]
"Evil and mysterious, Scorpio."
Ye Yinchuan's voice remained calm.
"Let it calm down."
"ah!"
The overlord Scorpion roared and charged forward!
It spread its wings and, taking advantage of the faint airflow inside the cave, attempted to cut in at high speed from the side!
It will use its proud speed to tear through the opponent's defenses!
however.
It, and all the viewers in the live stream, seriously underestimated the power of this ancient Pokémon!
The force of the turbid current was beyond imagination!
Before it could even get close, it was slammed hard against its side by the raging torrent of water!
"ah--!"
A heart-wrenching scream!
The domineering Scorpio was like a fly swatted by a giant's palm, instantly losing its balance and flying backward like a kite with a broken string!
boom!
It crashed heavily against the hard cave wall and slid down.
Struggling, but unable to get up for a long time, he was clearly seriously injured.
One strike!
Just one strike!
The once majestic and domineering Scorpio instantly lost its ability to fight!
[Instant kill?! The dominant Scorpio was instantly killed!]
Is Cradle Lily really that powerful?!
[Scorpio: Don't I have any pride?]
Scorpio, the Overlord, stared blankly at the enormous figure in the arena, then looked at Eguilan, who was almost unharmed in the aftershocks of the turbid current.
A look of shock appeared in its sharp eyes.
It finally understood—
In that race in the canyon, the opponent didn't even use their true strength.
That's not a contest.
That was just playing around.
But the real battle is so—brutal.
The speed and power that he was so proud of were so vulnerable in front of this small green figure.
Ye Yinchuan remained calm upon hearing the inner voice.
This is only natural. He carefully cultivated the Egui, while Scorpio, even with the potential to become a hegemon, is just a rough diamond.
"Ponyo!"
Just then, a clear and spirited shout pulled the overlord Scorpio back to reality.
It's a ghostly gate!
It did not retreat.
Instead, it stepped forward, braving the lingering turbid current!
The ivy stick in its hand had a water sphere condensed at its tip, which shone brightly!
It's no longer a water cannon.
Instead, it pours all the abundant water energy into the wooden stick itself!
【Well Mask】The teardrop-shaped crystals under the eyes shimmer with a soft yet firm light!
"Cradle Lily is a Rock/Grass type."
Ye Yinchuan's calm commentary rang out in the live broadcast room.
"My Evil Pine can switch between Grass and Water types, so it's evenly matched in terms of type advantage."
"but----"
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"A Pokémon's strength has never depended solely on its type. Even with a type disadvantage, my Urgot still has the advantage!"
Before the words were even finished!
The tiny figure of the Egui, like a blue cannonball fired from a gun, charged fiercely towards the enormous Cradle Lily!
Wooden horn!
[Tsk tsk, I heard that the higher the level, the harder it is to reverse attributes. This streamer is just that arrogant!]
"You're strong enough to take down the overlord Scorpio, but how tough are you to defeat the Evil Ghost?"
Cradle Lily seemed surprised that this little one would dare to rush over on his own initiative.
It let out an angry roar, and its eight tentacles, like wildly dancing pythons, lashed out at Erguilan from all directions!
however!
The eerie figure drew an incredible, agile arc in mid-air!
It lightly touched one of the attacking tentacles with its toes, used the momentum to flip its body, and easily dodged all the attacks!
His movements were as fluid as water and as graceful as the wind!
next second.
It has already appeared in front of Cradle Lily!
boom!!!!
A deafening explosion!
The wooden stick, infused with water-based energy, collided violently with Cradle Lily's rock-hard body!
Its powerful body was utterly vulnerable to the pure, extreme power of the Eguilan, its attribute advantage rendering it utterly ineffective.
"Gulp—uh—"
Cradle Lily let out a mournful cry of extreme pain.
Its massive body was smashed off the rock wall by this blow!
It crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
The eight wildly flailing tentacles drooped limply, twitching slightly.
The outcome is decided.
[High damage with a left swing, high damage with a right swing, so sneaky!]
[Is this the streamer's Pokémon? It's terrifying!]
Why did you provoke him? Just be honest and that'll be fine.
Inside the cave, silence returned.
The rainwing moth that had led the way flew in cautiously.
It looked at the fallen Cradle Lily, then at the majestic Evil Fence, its wide eyes filled with awe and gratitude.
"Pon~"
Erguipeng put away the wooden stick, turned around, ran to Ye Yinchuan's feet, looked up at him with his little face, and asked for praise.
Ye Yinchuan smiled and rubbed its head.
"Well done."
Then, he slowly walked towards the Cradle Lily lying on the ground, a blank Poké Ball already in his hand.
The viewers in the live stream all thought he was going to subdue the enemy.
However, Ye Yinchuan stopped in his tracks.
His gaze fell on Cradle Lily's small, yellow head.
[Listen to your inner voice].
A thought, mixed with pain and confusion, yet incredibly stubborn, entered his mind.
【————So hungry————】
【----water----】
Where is he?
He will come back.
【————It's a date————】
Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
He crouched down and observed carefully.
On the rock-rough body of the Cradle Lily, he discovered an extremely tiny, almost worn-down mark by time—an artificial engraving.
It was an abbreviation of a name and a date.
"Family members, things seem to have changed a bit."
Ye Yinchuan stood up, faced the camera, and spoke with a hint of amusement in his voice.
"This ancient visitor seems to be—not wild."
"It has a trainer."
"Moreover, the reason it stays here is not out of deliberate aggression, but rather—waiting."
The moment these words were spoken, the live stream chat exploded.
【What?! It's already taken?】
Who is it? Such an awesome ancient Pokémon, just given up like that?!
[Holy crap, isn't this blatant abandonment? Leaving Pokémon to fend for themselves in the wild? What a jerk!]
[That's outrageous! The Pokémon is completely innocent! Look how hungry it is!]
Immediately, the live chat was filled with criticism and condemnation of the trainer whom they had never met.
However, at that moment...
A prominent bullet comment, highlighted in red and pinned to the top by the system, appeared in everyone's field of vision.
ID: Fossil fanatic.
【I'm so sorry—I'm so sorry—to the host, and to everyone else—】
I am its trainer.
It's all my fault.
The entire live stream room fell into a moment of deathly silence.
Then came an even more intense barrage of comments.
[Holy crap! The main character has appeared?!]
How dare you go online? Look what you've done to Cradle Lily!
Stop apologizing! Give us an explanation!
Faced with a barrage of questions, the viewer known as "Fossil Maniac" typed out line after line of text with trembling hands, telling a story that no one else knew.
It turns out he was a researcher at a fossil research institute.
This cradle lily was resurrected by his own hands.
He treasured it and took great care of it.
However, after evaluation, the institute's senior management believed that this ancient Pokémon posed an uncontrollable danger, and the consequences would be unimaginable if it got out of control.
They issued an order to destroy it.
In the most "humane" way, let this newly awakened life return to silence.
The researchers could not accept it.
So, one night, he secretly took Cradle Lily to a place no one knew about, which was here.
To appease it, he made a promise with Cradle Hundred to wait for him there, and he would definitely come back for it.
He then lied to the institute, claiming that the Cradle Lily had withered and died because it could not adapt to the modern environment.
But his flawed lies were eventually exposed.
He was dismissed from the research institute, and Cradle Lily was also "wanted". If Cradle Lily reappears, she will be immediately retrieved by the institute's execution team to complete the unfinished "destruction" process.
I think about it every single day—but I can't go looking for it—if I show up, I'll only be harming it.
[I could only observe it from afar each day through the surveillance cameras I secretly installed in this area—until the cameras' batteries gradually ran out, and I lost all contact with it—who knew that I would see it again in your live stream today—]
When the last line of text appears on the screen.
The entire live stream room was completely silent.
The audience, who had been indignant before, fell silent.
Anger turned into sympathy.
Curses turned into sighs.
[So that's how it is.]
I take back what I just said, I'm sorry—this guy is a pitiful person too.
[The evils of capitalism—no, the evils of research institutes! By what right do they decide the life or death of a person!]
Ugh, what kind of mess is this?
Ye Yinchuan quietly watched the comments section, then looked at the Cradle Lily on the ground, whose breath was weak but who was still silently chanting "He will come back" in her heart.
After a moment's thought, he calmly spoke into the live stream camera.
The sound reached the researcher's ears clearly.
"Now, you have two choices."
The researcher perked up and stared intently at the screen.
"First."
Ye Yinchuan's voice was calm to the point of being cruel.
"You must personally sever its last hope. Let it understand that you will never return, and let it give up completely."
"Then, I will tame it, take it away from here, and give it a new, safe home."
"It's cruel to both you and it, but in the end, it might be for the best."
[Hiss—What the host said may not be pleasant to hear, but it's absolutely true.]
A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one.
[You're the smartest person ever—you're trying to catch another rare Pokémon!]
[No, who would choose this? Wait—what if the second option is even worse?]
On the other end of the screen, the researcher remained silent for a long time.
He could almost imagine the despair Cradle Lily must have felt when she learned that she had been "abandoned forever."
but----
As long as it can survive.
【I—I choose the first one.】
He typed those words, and his heart felt as if it were being torn apart.
[As long as it's safe—I don't care what happens to me—host, please, no need to mention a second option—]
however.
Ye Yinchuan looked at the comment, but a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
Are you sure?
"Don't you want to hear the second one?"
The researcher was stunned.
The viewers in the live stream all perked up their ears.
"The second option —"
Ye Yinchuan's gaze seemed to pierce through the screen, looking directly into the researcher's heart.
"You, keep your promise, come back with this Cradle Lily, and report to me."
"Remember that research institute I contacted before? I can use my connections to get you a position so you can continue the research you love."
"And I guarantee that no one will be able to lay a finger on your Cradle Lily again."
"I believe that my reputation as a 'Kabby Appraiser' is worth this much."
boom!
These words struck the researcher's mind like a bolt from the blue!
This instantly caused the entire live stream room to erupt in excitement!
[666! You can even do that?!]
Isn't this just blatantly forcing people to choose the second option?
[It was a misunderstanding; the streamer is actually a good person!]
The researcher was so excited he was trembling, almost unable to believe his eyes.
He was about to frantically type out his thanks.
Ye Yinchuan's voice rang out again, tinged with seriousness.
"The most important thing for a Pokémon professional is a love for Pokémon. I believe you can become an excellent researcher."
The conversation turned.
"However, I also want to remind you."
"When you release it back into the wild, have you considered the damage that will cause to the local ecosystem?"
""
Ye Yinchuan pointed his camera at the dried-up lakebed and the dying sugar balls.
"Your love almost destroyed the home of another Pokémon species."
"Remember this lesson."
On the other side of the screen, the researcher looked at the gruesome scene, his face burning with embarrassment.
He lowered his head in shame.
[I understand—thank you, host—thank you for your guidance! Is it too late for me to leave now?]
Upon seeing the man's clear response, Ye Yinchuan nodded with satisfaction.
Although Cinnabar is rare and unique, he has never lacked such Pokémon. It would be better to give this pair of rivals a happy ending.
Then, he turned his gaze back to the dominant scorpion.
Night has quietly fallen.
The wind in the canyon became chilly.
"Alright, that's the end of the interlude."
Ye Yinchuan's lips curled back into that familiar, confident smile.
"Next, family members."
"Get ready to witness the evolution of Scorpio!"
