Chapter 255 The Cold Bench: The Poisonous Powder Moth Has Been Strengthened? The Special Trait of Pa
Chapter 255 The Cold Bench: The Poisonous Powder Moth Has Been Strengthened? Trait "Pain Power"? The Little Barbecue is Delicious!
"The Pokémon Toxapex is a Bug/Poison type. Although it can fly, its Flying-type abilities are not as good as Beautifly."
"The netizen who just commented is right. The poisonous mealy moth usually only appears on a large scale during years of major disasters when food is extremely scarce. That's why we can hardly see poisonous mealy moths now, because the ecology is well protected and most of the spiny moths have evolved into hunting swallowtail butterflies."
Ye Yinchuan started by talking non-stop.
"Since Toxtricity is a Poison-type Pokémon, it's best to have an antidote on hand if you're going to be around them for a long time. Also, registering a Pokémon is essential. The Pokémon Center will explain all the details to you."
[You didn't have to register, but since you came to this live stream... Go tell the Pokémon Center!]
Sometimes I suspect the streamer is sent by the Pokémon Center to expand their business, specifically to fish online!
[As expected, Poison-type Pokémon are quite troublesome, they're prone to getting poisoned so easily... But it seems most Bug-type Pokémon are somewhat related to Poison?]
In order to serve as a warning, Ye Yinchuan also spoke truthfully:
"The poisonous powder from the poisonous moth is generally not too bad, especially at lower levels, as it can be dealt with by common antidotes."
However, once they reach a higher level, when attacked or sensing danger, they will flap their wings violently, scattering highly poisonous powder...
These powders are incredibly potent. Even a strong, professional athlete would be bedridden or even in mortal danger if they inhaled just one large dose!
It lives up to its name, the poisonous mealy moth!
[Wouldn't it be very dangerous if these Pokémon appeared in large groups?]
[How do you think the Beast Plague came about? It's said that the year the Poison Dustmoth appeared in swarms, many people died, especially since this Pokémon is nocturnal and attracted to lights... Back then, everyone turned off the lights and went to bed early!]
[Dude, you've got experience!]
Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan also expressed his agreement:
"The Poison Dust Moth is like this. Similar to Zubat, it's a nocturnal Pokémon, but its main food is leaves. Its antennae are as sensitive as radar, allowing it to easily locate food..."
As for harming us humans, it's most likely accidental, or perhaps they're feeding on our crops and fruit, leading to conflict and resulting in injury or death!
As a streamer, Ye Yinchuan's evaluation of a Pokémon is inevitably subjective, but he should try to be as objective and fair as possible.
We shouldn't be submissive and afraid to speak up just because of our own likes or dislikes, or because we're afraid of contradicting others.
"I understand, host. This 'Sixty-Six Hair' butterfly still needs more guidance and training. It requires more effort than a typical hunting swallowtail butterfly!"
Hearing what the person on the other end of the line said, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but feel gratified.
"In addition, Poison Moth has more potential in the Psychic type than Swallowtail, which is the same reason why Butterfree and Moromoth are also..."
Even without extra effort, once the Poison Moth levels up, there's a good chance it will master moves like "Psychic," "Illusion Ray," and "Light Wall," or even "Supernatural Power"!
Skills like "mindfulness" and "sleep" are slightly more difficult to master, but not impossible; they require additional learning.
I'm different; I was born knowing how to sleep.
【I'm not saying this to be mean, but is your sleeping technique the same as a special sleeping pose?】
"A small number of Poison Moths can even master the Fairy-type move 'Moonlight,' yes, you guessed it, the one Clefairy knows..."
"Don't rush to question it. As a nocturnal moth, often bathed in moonlight, it's quite reasonable that it might have accidentally absorbed fairy-type energy, or that a trace of fairy-type genes within it might have been activated, right?"
[This thing can even be related to the fairy type?]
[Don't you read Journey to the West? Monsters are also called demons... You can't just remove someone from the list because they look different, can you?]
Seeing the discussion in the comments, Ye Yinchuan decided to wrap things up:
"Alright, do you guys have any other questions? There are only ten minutes left, I'm going to end the broadcast now."
[Why are you ending the broadcast so early? What are you planning to do? No, what are you planning to do with your assistant?]
Young man, how can you sleep at this hour?
Ye Yinchuan smiled and said:
"I can't sleep. I'll take my assistant out for a late-night snack later."
[Forget it, these streamers are getting more and more popular, they've gotten arrogant and don't care about us viewers anymore.]
Let's talk about Toxapex... Does this Pokémon have any special moves? Or any unique abilities?
"Special ability: Poisonmeat may possess the 'compound eye' ability."
"As for special moves... 'Venom Impact' is one, and there's also the move 'Silver Cyclone'."
"Venom Shock" is quite powerful. If the target is already poisoned, it can detonate the toxins inside the target's body, multiplying its lethality.
As you know, the weakness of poison-type moves is that they are not fast enough to defeat enemies, meaning they lack explosive power... But this move perfectly makes up for this weakness.
As for "Silver Whirlwind," this move is even more powerful. It can enhance one's abilities in various aspects while dealing damage. Of course, the enhancement is not particularly large, but its strength lies in its comprehensiveness...
However, the principle behind this move is to mix scale powder into the wind to attack the enemy, which consumes a relatively large amount of scale powder and energy. Especially when there is no wind, it is possible to first use the move "Gather Wind" to create one's own wind...
[It seems that Dustmoth is still a very powerful Pokémon, especially since Bug-type Pokémon level up and evolve quickly!]
[Those who prioritize intensity are starting to get interested!]
So here's the question: are the base stats of the Poisonous Whitemoth and the Hunting Butterfly the same?
Upon seeing the last comment, Ye Yinchuan's expression shifted.
There's an explanation for this.
In the Pokémon games, these two Pokémon originally had the same total base stats, since they were just different evolutionary paths of the same Pokémon...
However, starting in Generation VI, Beautifly's base stats increased from 385 to 395, and its Special Attack stat reached 100...
Compared to the Swallowtail, the Poisonous Whitemoth not only has inferior base stats, but its stat distribution is also poor!
In reality, the poisonous moth managed to turn the tide somewhat.
Because of its unique evolutionary mechanism, it can enhance its evolved strength after enduring pain. Although this is not reflected in its base stats or individual stats, Ye Yinchuan can see a trait it possesses...
[Trait: Pain Power]
This poisonous moth was attacked during its evolution and suffered excruciating pain. It possesses a special ability to convert that pain into its own strength...
When attacked in battle, the pain becomes more pronounced, and the greater and more frequent the pain, the more the power of the pain accumulates...
However, it's important to note that the same pain will have a weaker effect the second time it's experienced. To unleash the full potential of this trait, one needs to continuously seek new sources of pain!
Ye Yinchuan described this trait as awesome.
At the same time, I really want to complain that he really has the masochistic tendencies to the max.
However, to some extent, the role of Poison Moth in the game seems to be that of a special defense tank... although it is often sidelined in the game and its role is rather awkward!
"This trait would be incredibly overpowered if it were found in some of the most powerful Pokémon."
Although Ye Yinchuan couldn't think of any particularly suitable Pokémon for the time being, he thought that any Pokémon with high base stats would be invincible with such a trait boost!
However, by process of elimination, the Slowpoke family is definitely out of the question.
That thing has such a poor ability to perceive pain; it would be hilarious if such a trait were given to the Slowpoke family.
Ye Yinchuan briefly explained this characteristic of the poisonous powder moth.
Of course, he wouldn't directly state the trait, but rather say that the poisonous moth possesses this ability, which would be more acceptable to the audience.
Wow, my poisonous white moth is amazing!
That's actually quite inspiring!
Then, a comment caught the streamer's attention:
[Host, I've always had a question about cocoons. Why is it that the swallowtail butterflies hatched from cocoons in the wild all seem healthy and plump, but the ones from my cocoons are dry, rough, and not round at all?]
Ye Yinchuan answered without hesitation:
Did you water them?
[Watering? Isn't the Cocoon a Bug-type Pokémon? And after they emerge from their cocoons, don't they just wait to evolve without eating or drinking? They don't even have mouths!]
"Hmm...who told you that the cocoon doesn't eat or drink?"
This is a misconception. At least it's certain that cocoons do absorb water; in the wild, they primarily rely on rainwater and dew that falls on their silk…
If you keep the cocoons indoors without rain or dew, they will definitely be dehydrated and hatch dry...
We can even provide nutrient solutions to the cocoons, giving them more nutrition to help them grow better, and the individuals that evolve from them will be healthier and stronger.
[Oh, I see! I really didn't know that if you hadn't told me! Thank you, streamer, here's a gift!]
"Yes, I already talked about the hunting swallowtail butterfly in a previous episode, but I'll elaborate on it here. Although they look much cuter than the poisonous white moth, they are actually very aggressive and greedy..."
Moreover, poisonous moths are generally herbivores, but that guy... sometimes attacks other living creatures and sucks their bodily fluids!
So please don't be prejudiced. Both evolutionary paths have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although the poisonous white moth has a rather unique appearance, those who appreciate it will also find it quite cool.
[By the way, I found pictures of those half-poison lotus flowers, and I was stunned! Isn't that the plant version of the poisonous whitefly moth? Nature is truly amazing!]
Ye Yinchuan was already aware of this, but he hadn't specifically mentioned it.
The poisonous moth also has another name, "half-lotus poisonous moth," because its body resembles a lotus flower cut in half.
As for the "Half-Poison Lotus" plant, it is unique to the Pokémon world.
"Family members, that's all for today's live stream. My little assistant's eyelids are drooping, it's time for me to finish."
After Ye Yinchuan finished speaking, he didn't care what the audience said and ended the live stream cleanly and efficiently.
"Click!"
The moment the live stream ended, Ye Yinchuan stretched and was pounced on by Munchlax.
Then a group of Pokémon gathered around.
Unlike humans, Pokémon can't play on their phones or play games, so time can sometimes feel quite long for them, and they can find it hard to bear when they're bored or lonely.
Fortunately, Ye Yinchuan had quite a few Pokémon at home, and their playful fighting made it a little less unbearable. However, their desire for Ye Yinchuan's "Heavenly Healer" was still very strong every day, right on time, and had become a habit, even an addiction.
The little guy, who originally couldn't get Ye Yinchuan to pet him personally, could only wait anxiously on the sidelines or try to rub against him.
However, since Bai Zhi is here, they can find Bai Zhi as a substitute. Although it is not as comfortable to touch as Ye Yinchuan, it is still better than just watching.
Bai Zhi was almost exhausted, but in order not to disappoint the Pokémon's enthusiasm, she was forced to keep working.
"Let's go grab some late-night snacks."
Ye Yinchuan used Poké Balls to collect all the Pokémon and then put them in his waistband.
Today, the whole family is mobilized!
"Are you really going to eat a late-night snack? Staying up late and eating at the same time, won't that be bad for your skin?"
"It's just once in a while, having fun is the most important thing. Besides, you only have a few days of vacation left, and once you go back to school, you won't have the chance to eat it again."
Ye Yinchuan said that since Bai Zhi had stayed up so late with him, he had to treat her to a late-night snack.
"Elbow! But I'll wash my face!"
Bai Zhi also decided not to spoil the fun.
"Bring your Snivy and Newleaf Meow too! Everything's on me today! Oh, and about Uncle..."
"Don't call him, he needs to stay at the clinic."
Bai Zhi felt a headache coming on when she thought about her living father's attitude towards her relationship with Ye Yinchuan. What if she really invited him to have a late-night snack together...
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
The scene was so beautiful, I dared not open my eyes!
"Alright then... Uncle has been working so hard, how about you bring him some late-night snacks later?"
Ye Yinchuan was actually a little disappointed. In his eyes, he had a relationship with Doctor Bai, having once worked together to save someone, and felt that the other party was a good person.
I'm now befriending his daughter, and it's definitely the right thing to do to get along with him.
"Uh-huh."
Bai Zhi thought about it and realized that she couldn't forget her father for the sake of beauty. She would just pack a separate dish and pay for it herself.
Soon, the two arrived at a nearby night market.
Almost every place has a dedicated night market with all kinds of food stalls, which is indispensable.
"Every time I come to the night market, I can really feel the warmth and vibrancy of everyday life."
After sitting in front of the live broadcast camera for almost a whole day, Ye Yinchuan felt like he had finally gotten out for some fresh air.
Looking at the bright lights before me, the food sizzling and steaming on the grills, and the people coming and going with their food and drinks...
That's probably life.
"Sometimes I really find it amazing, whether it's a night market after midnight, a university stadium in the early morning, or a library at some time... I always feel like there are a lot of people there. At those times, I don't feel alone at all. No matter what I'm doing, at the same moment in this world, there are many people with me."
Bai Zhi sighed.
"And having Pokémon around is like having a family member by your side."
Ye Yinchuan nodded:
"Then let's have the family come out and enjoy the night market together!"
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan summoned Snorlax and Owl.
"Listen up, the night market is quite small, so not all of you will be here until we find somewhere to eat. We'll rotate groups every now and then, understand?"
"Click!"
"Coo coo!"
Seeing this, Bai Zhi also summoned Tengteng Snake and Xinye Cat.
"Don't follow me too closely, stay far away from me."
Angelica dahurica is like casting a spell on the vine snake.
Because of its contrarian nature, if you want it to do something, just do the opposite.
It might look a little strange to passersby, but this is the correct way to experience Snivy~
Such a cute little thing as Shin-yomi is just perfect to hold in your arms.
"Let Snivy and Meowth wander around for a while, and I can help look after your Pokémon."
Angelica dahurica took the initiative to solicit business.
In this way, Ye Yinchuan's other Pokémon can also enjoy the fun of the night market together as soon as possible and more fully.
As the saying goes, men and women working together makes the work easier.
Of course, taking Pokémon to stroll through the night market isn't exactly a "job," and it's enjoyable in itself.
Ye Yinchuan's Pokémon, such as Munchlax, Milotic, and Shiny Owl and Acrobat, all attract a lot of attention.
Even the fiery cat is one of the most popular starter Pokémon.
Bai Zhi's popularity with Xin Ye Miao is undeniable. Many people who see her will take a second look because she's so cute, and some might even want to pet her.
The snails followed closely behind Angelica dahurica, which was particularly cute and amusing.
Soon, after everyone had strolled around the night market, Ye Yinchuan finally managed to gather all the Pokémon together for a barbecue at a local barbecue stall.
Because the booth was a bit small, the Pokémon had to squeeze together, especially for a Pokémon of Milotic's size, it felt a little cramped, but it also looked cozy.
"That's great."
Bai Zhi also perked up.
After all, she sometimes has to help look after the clinic, and it's normal for it to be open until 3 a.m.
"Yeah, it feels like I've finally got some free time."
Ye Yinchuan sipped his beverage, waited for the barbecue, surrounded by his family and with a beautiful woman in front of him. This life was simply wonderful.
Let's have a drink with angelica, take a small sip, and savor the delicious juice!
Soon, the barbecue was served.
"Eat this pork belly first, it'll get cold quickly."
Ye Yinchuan first distributed the food to Bai Zhi, then to all the Pokémon, and finally to himself.
This pork belly is sliced very thinly, with beautifully marbled fat and lean meat. It's grilled until dry and fragrant, and because of its rich fat content, it's neither dry nor greasy. Sprinkled with various barbecue seasonings, each bite is crispy yet has a perfectly balanced texture...
I'm so confused by the smell!
A pot of pork belly was emptied in an instant!
The boss's side was already smoking from grilling. He glanced at Ye Yinchuan's side, smiled, and wiped his sweat. This customer who came tonight was a big client!
People bring Pokémon to eat barbecue skewers, but Ye Yinchuan is the first person to bring so many Pokémon to eat barbecue skewers since the owner started his stall!
In particular, they also brought along a gluttonous Pokémon, Munchlax!
"Kirby, eat slowly. Even though the boss is a great cook and the skewers smell delicious, you can't eat them all!"
While Ye Yinchuan was eating barbecue, he also had to keep an eye on the little Snorlax.
Otherwise, they might eat the whole bowl, let alone the skewers!
The barbecue skewers tonight were especially plentiful.
The smoked tofu, for example, had such beautifully cut slices; the aroma of the smoke, the tenderness of the tofu, the spiciness, and the scallions...
Take lamb skewers, for example. They're cooked to perfection, with no gamey taste at all, and even a hint of milky aroma that leaves you wanting more...
There was also grilled squid. I don't know what secret sauce the owner used, but it was sprinkled with sesame seeds. It had a chewy and crisp texture and a delicious flavor...
The toast, the kind with a buttery crust, is baked until crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside—it's so delicious!
There's also grilled saury, bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms, grilled eggplant, grilled chicken wings, grilled chicken cartilage skewers...
Oh, and there were also two large plates of grilled oysters, topped with generous amounts of minced garlic and chili peppers. The garlic flavor was intense, and the spiciness was incredibly potent. The oysters were also very fresh, plump, and juicy...
Ye Yinchuan felt that with such delicious food, life was worthwhile all at once!
Sometimes you really have to spend the money you earn, otherwise it doesn't feel real.
So, over a small barbecue, Ye Yinchuan, Bai Zhi, and their five Pokémon hurriedly ate their meal...
At most, it's less than a thousand yuan, less than two hundred yuan per person.
And that's still counting; one Munchlax is worth five or six people!
A thousand yuan for a barbecue late-night snack may sound like a lot, but for Ye Yinchuan right now, it's just a drop in the bucket of income from a live stream!
"Why are you back so late? Did you go out with friends again?"
At the Grass Leaf Clinic, Dr. Bai watched as Bai Zhi walked in somewhat embarrassedly, his eyes fixed on her.
"Yeah... Dad, you must be hungry. I'll treat you to a late-night snack. It's getting late, I'll be going now if I don't have anything else to do!"
Bai Zhi put down her late-night snack and hurriedly slipped away.
Dr. Bai opened the late-night snack in front of him, watched the live stream replay on his phone, but was preoccupied with his own thoughts.
After a while, he checked the security camera footage on his phone and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his daughter had arrived home safely. However, he still felt a little anxious.
"It should be fine... Bai Zhi went home alone, and while she was at his house, she was live-streaming. Their relationship couldn't have progressed that quickly..."
Dr. Bai had considered this; he knew he couldn't simply cut off his daughter's social interactions.
Ye Yinchuan is young, successful in his career, and of good character; objectively speaking, he is a very good person.
But this old father always found it hard to accept that the little cabbage he had carefully nurtured since childhood was being eaten by some outsider...
Even if it were a golden pig, I couldn't bear to part with it!
The night was long, and Dr. Bai finally got up, opened a can of beer, and started eating barbecue.
A week and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.
Ye Yinchuan's Pokémon have undergone rigorous training under the [Shadow of the Overlord] and have shown significant improvement!
His live streaming career is also steadily rising.
With this afternoon's live stream coming to an end, I'll be able to acquire a new exclusive ability!
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but feel hopeful.
However, he still needs to check on the condition of his Pokémon.
