Chapter 292 The Special Thorn Rock! The Brilliant Cave Adventure Ends! Delicious grilled fish, bliss
Chapter 292 Trait "Thorn Rock"! The Brilliant Cave Adventure Ends! Delicious grilled fish, bliss again!
Ye Yinchuan's discerning eye had already detected the extraordinary nature of this giant rock snake. Seeing the audience's enthusiasm, he announced his assessment:
"This giant onion is black in color, has a harder body than a normal giant onion, and has a faster burrowing speed. As compensation, it has sacrificed some of its size growth."
"Its individual stats are around A-rank. It has a violent and irritable temperament. Compared to a regular Onix, it has more sharp protrusions around its head and body, and its teeth and bite force are more ferocious. I suspect it has ingested some minerals containing Dark-type energy."
The above is only what Ye Yinchuan told the audience.
Through his discerning eye, he was even able to see the special qualities possessed by this giant rock snake—
[Trait: Thorn Rock]
During a crucial growth stage, this Onix consumed a special mineral called "Thorn Rock," absorbing a significant amount of Dark-type energy and acquiring some of its characteristics, namely, the growth of sharp protrusions on its body that cause more damage when colliding with an opponent!
Its defense is higher than that of a regular Onix, its speed is faster than that of a regular Onix, but its size is smaller than that of a regular Onix!
Its special feature, "Shattered Armor," causes it to throw up shards of stone when attacked, damaging enemies like flying knives and cannonballs!
Furthermore, this Onix can master Dark-type moves like "Crunch" and "Anti-Pet" that are not available to regular Onix!
Even the well-informed Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but admire the unique qualities of this giant rock snake.
This type of trait is an effective trait, with a very obvious effect, and it also provides a significant boost to the Pokémon's battle power.
[Damn it, no wonder he's the young master of an evil organization, using such a good Pokémon?]
[We recommend confiscation!]
[What kind of minerals does it eat? Does the streamer have a recipe? I want to raise my Onix to look like that too.]
"Yes, brothers, yes."
Ye Yinchuan responded with the formula, "There are nine common ores containing evil energy..."
After introducing the identification results of the giant rock snake to the audience, Ye Yinchuan and his group also found the exit to leave the Brilliant Cave.
Apart from Po Xiao, Uncle Zhou, and some wild Pokémon, there were no other casualties along the way.
Ye Yinchuan also readily offered his assistance to wild Pokémon that were injured or trapped in caves...
The reason is simple: on the surface, the cave's collapse was caused by Po Xiao's thorny rock serpent, but in reality, it was mainly due to his Overlord Shadow...
It wouldn't be right to stand by and watch someone die.
Fortunately, the intervention of the Pokémon Center was observed along the way, and the situation was basically brought under control.
Along the way, Ye Yinchuan also learned some things that Yan Xiao, a former member of the Shadow Gang, also known as Uncle Zhou, had told him.
According to him, he and Owlman, the leader of Team Shadows, were once close friends. He was moved by Owlman's ideals and wanted to find a legendary Pokémon of the Dark type to break down the hypocrisy and injustice in the world, but that Pokémon was extremely powerful and difficult to catch...
After repeated failures, Owl began collecting special Pokémon like Sableye in order to gather enough power to find and capture the legendary Pokémon...
Regarding this Pokémon's characteristics, it is said to be able to create illusions and disguise itself as any Pokémon, and possesses powerful Dark-type abilities...
[Could it be Ditto?]
[I remember the streamer saying that Ditto is a Normal-type... and Ditto relies on genes, not illusions, right?]
So, the silhouette of that Pokémon on Team Shadow's uniform? They've met?
Upon hearing these descriptions, Ye Yinchuan already had a fairly clear guess in his mind...
The Pokémon that Team Shadow is pursuing may not actually be a legendary Pokémon in the original Pokémon lore...
Instead, it's classified as a rare Pokémon or a mirage Pokémon...
The more he looked at the silhouette on the Shadow Gang's uniform, the more Ye Yinchuan resembled him...
That's Zoroark!
However, on the other hand, Zoroark's prestige is indeed on par with legendary Pokémon.
First, its design is striking: black and red, with a fox-like humanoid shape, flowing mane and tail, giving it an air of mystery and power.
Secondly, its unique "illusion" characteristic gives it a great sense of mystery and sophistication in both games and anime, and its tactical value is also extremely high.
Furthermore, this character even has his own theatrical film called "Zoroark: The Phantom Master"...
But no matter what, even if the legendary Pokémon that Team Shadow is looking for is Zoroark, Ye Yinchuan can only listen to it as a story for now.
After all, these are all baseless rumors.
As for why Uncle Zhou left Team Shadow later, it was because Team Shadow became increasingly unscrupulous in its pursuit of powerful and rare Pokémon, even resorting to actions that harmed humans and Pokémon...
He came to his senses and tried to persuade Night Owl to stop, but Night Owl was already obsessed and would not give up until he achieved his goal.
Seeing that nothing was being done, Uncle Zhou decided to leave the Shadow Gang and stop doing things against his conscience.
After hearing this, Chen Lan said that even if Uncle Zhou was punished for his past actions in the Shadow Group, her team would still reserve a place for him and would do their best to bail him out.
Akai, however, disapproved of such behavior:
"It's too early to draw conclusions. You don't yet know exactly which crimes he's repented for. Perhaps he's truly had a change of heart, but the evil he committed won't simply disappear. The idea of him turning over a new leaf is too unfair to someone who was already a conscientious and good person!"
"I'm so sorry..."
Uncle Zhou lowered his head.
Ye Yinchuan remained silent.
Chen Lan and A Kai each have their own perspectives: one is about teammate loyalty, the other is about hating evil. He can't really comment on either of them.
It was time to part ways.
Ye Yinchuan registered the Pokémon and resources he brought from the wild, namely Sableye and the pink diamond disc.
As the jungle warden, Akai witnessed the entire process of how Ye Yinchuan reaped these rewards, so from a procedural standpoint, there were no obstacles.
"By the way, you caught such a rare Pokémon and obtained such a gem. Hey, exposing it so openly to the public is a good way to attract the attention of some people with ill intentions."
Before leaving, Akai reminded him.
Thank you.
Ye Yinchuan thanked Akai and hurriedly left the Brilliant Cave. It was already close to dusk, and since the incident had happened so suddenly, he planned to end the broadcast early.
In addition, Ye Yinchuan also obtained Chen Lan's contact information; to be precise, it was at her strong request that he add it...
It wasn't that Ye Yinchuan was too handsome, but rather that the alluring eye and the pink round diamond in his possession were extremely attractive to Chen Lan...
Clearly, the other party did not intend to give up so easily, but planned to obtain Ye Yinchuan's contact information before making further plans.
"Alright, family, see you tomorrow."
After Ye Yinchuan finished his broadcast, he contacted Bai Zhi and planned to pick her up after class so they could have dinner together.
"How was your day? Did everything go smoothly?"
The first thing Bai Zhi asked Ye Yinchuan when she met him was...
It was the evening rush hour, with people coming and going. One of Bai Zhi's classmates witnessed her meeting with Ye Yinchuan and they whispered among themselves.
"Who is that person to Bai Zhi? Could he be her boyfriend? Is he from our school?"
"Damn, what's with the fact that he's kind of handsome?"
"Didn't you know? That person seems to be a streamer, a professional appraiser and streamer, really impressive!"
"Really? She looks about our age, and she started learning even in the womb?"
Ye Yinchuan had keen hearing and knew that Bai Zhi's contact with him had attracted attention.
"Won't this have any negative impact on your school life?"
To avoid this, Ye Yinchuan had chosen a street outside the school, but unfortunately, these college students all went out for nightlife after class, so there was no way to avoid it.
"A person with an upright character has nothing to fear. If I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
Bai Zhi held the new Ye Miao in her arms, looking at Ye Yinchuan with amusement. Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, making her hair flutter lightly, while Ye Yinchuan felt a cool sensation on his skin.
"What would you like to eat?"
"There's a really good grilled fish place near my school, let me treat you. You just paid me my salary, I don't know how to repay you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan showed a gratified expression.
Although the reward he gave Bai Zhi was considerable, it was only a drop in the ocean compared to his own gains.
On the contrary, he was very pleased with Bai Zhi's consistent kindness; a girl like her was worth a long-term commitment.
Soon, the two sat down in the grilled fish restaurant.
We ordered sea bass with Sichuan peppercorn flavor, spicy Qingjiang fish, and tilapia with garlic flavor...
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
In short, we ordered almost every kind of grilled fish, with all sorts of flavors, leaving the staff somewhat dumbfounded.
Upon closer inspection, both men were handsome and refined, making it hard to believe they possessed such skill. Were they simply playing around?
"Are you sure you want this much?"
Ye Yinchuan simply smiled and summoned his Pokémon one by one.
Snorlax, Litten, Owl, Milotic, Akadra, Sableye.
This Pokémon lineup is truly visually stunning, leaving even the store staff speechless.
"I checked when I came in; Pokémon are allowed on the table, right?"
Ye Yinchuan smiled easily and said, "If that's not enough, we'll order more."
The waiter snapped out of his daze: "Alright, delicious grilled fish, coming right up to you!"
Clearly, Ye Yinchuan and Bai Zhi had become important and rare customers in the eyes of the shop assistants!
Before long, bowls of grilled fish were served, each one with boiling broth, sizzling hot and fragrant, and a crispy, deep-fried skin...
Sichuan peppercorns, spicy, garlicky...
The ingredients for each flavor are different, red, green, and white, each with its own unique taste.
In short, it looks and smells very tempting, but to say it has all the qualities of a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste...
We'll have to see how it tastes!
"Get started! Get ready to start!"
Ye Yinchuan distributed utensils to Bai Zhi, and then cut up the grilled fish for the Pokémon...
Snorlax has an amazing appetite, so Ye Yinchuan gave it half a piece and told it to savor it slowly.
Hot Cat is also impatient; it bared its teeth and started munching away.
The owl learned a lot from the two of them and ate with great relish.
Milotic is much more elegant.
Cocoa is rather reserved; she seemed to look around before cautiously and obediently taking a bite...
Although minerals are usually my staple food, I occasionally try other foods, and I can appreciate them as long as they are delicious.
Finally, there was the newly joined Soul-Hooking Eye. Looking at everyone eating together, it seemed a little bewildered, while Ye Yinchuan warmly greeted it, telling it not to be shy...
As soon as the Soul-Stealing Eyes began to taste this human food for the first time, the hot, spicy, and fragrant sensation made its gem-like eyes sparkle. Judging from its wide grin, it was clearly having a blast!
"Hehehe!"
The gluttonous bird stood on the bench, waving its arms and legs wildly. The spiciness stimulated its tongue and nerves, giving it an unusual sense of excitement.
"boom!"
Hot Cat, having finished its own food, went to Snatch some from Feathered Owl. Feathered Owl is always a good boy, happy to share, but its food is quite spicy, causing Hot Cat to breathe fire – a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the bait instead…
If it weren't for Milotic controlling the water flow and restraining the flames of the Blaze, Ye Yinchuan probably wouldn't have left this grilled fish restaurant without losing money today.
As the saying goes, yin and yang must be in balance.
Ye Yinchuan increasingly realized how important it was to have a Water-type Pokémon in addition to a Fire-type Pokémon.
"This is your newly caught Pokémon! I've never seen it before!"
Bai Zhi was also very curious about the Soul-Bewitching Eye.
Although she often watches Ye Yinchuan's live streams and is practically a little fangirl, she really can't keep up with her studies and watch every single one of them every day!
"Aren't you afraid of it? This is the Dementor from your school's legend."
Ye Yinchuan calmly revealed a truth that was enough to shock Bai Zhi.
"Huh? Really?"
Bai Zhi scrutinized the bewitching eye, "I think this little thing is quite cute... how could it be a Dementor?"
Ye Yinchuan then said solemnly:
"Its real name is Sableye, a rather rare Pokémon. It can create illusions, making people see their deepest fears, and can also harm their mental state... People who don't understand it might think that it can steal people's souls and feed on them, but in fact..."
After listening to Ye Yinchuan's explanation, Bai Zhi suddenly understood, and at the same time, she was once again amazed by Ye Yinchuan's actions.
We were just talking about Dementors yesterday, and the very next day we've already subdued the Dementor itself... Their efficiency and ability are truly astonishing!
Ye Yinchuan, meanwhile, was savoring the taste of the grilled fish.
Grilled fish, regardless of taste or variety, offers different flavors depending on the different parts of the fish.
Ye Yinchuan's favorite part used to be the large chunks of fish meat, preferably with the crispy skin attached, and the white, garlic-like flesh inside. It might not be very flavorful, but if you cook it a little longer or dip it in the broth, it becomes a delicious and satisfying meal.
Later, he came to like the meat near the fish head. The fish face meat is the firmest and most succulent part. There isn't much meat, but it's chewy and delicious, and you can savor it slowly.
The neck section of the fish has a crescent-shaped piece of meat attached to the bone, which is also firm and tender. After being dug out, it is boneless and thornless, which is quite similar to the other parts of the fish.
The meat on the fish ribs can be easily deboned; the meat is very thin, absorbs flavor easily, and has just the right amount of fat and lean.
Furthermore, the meat around the fins, although it has quite a few bones, is very tender and flavorful, suitable for those who have the patience to savor it slowly...
Towards the end, all that's left is the remaining, sticky meat clinging to the fish bones...
Some people call it dragon bone, and sucking the fish meat off the dragon bone while soaking it in the broth has a unique flavor...
The fish pieces scattered in the broth are like hidden gems, blending perfectly with the flavor of the broth. They are delicious, and finding a bite by chance is a delightful surprise.
This is just the deliciousness of one fish; different fish and different flavors make it even more diverse!
Have a hearty meal.
Ye Yinchuan and his Pokémon not only had their bodies satiated and their appetites satisfied, but they also received psychological healing from the delicious food...
I'm so happy again!
