"By the way, next time you summon Scyther, remember to prepare food for it, just the same as today."
Ye Yinchuan remembered something and added.
"Alright! Kirby!"
Ah Chong didn't understand why Ye Yinchuan would say that, but he was sure there was a reason behind it.
"The wind is picking up..."
At this moment, Ah Bug was following the movements of the Pokémon in the forest, approaching the lake.
He must be careful, as there are some dangers involved.
There were several of the previously seen Helios; flocks of Spearow; Arbok, and even its evolved form Arbok; Oddish; and a Bellsprout's final evolution, Victreebel...
Ye Yinchuan was also overwhelmed by the sheer number of things to see.
All sorts of Pokémon, big and small, including species rarely seen in normal times, were on display; it was truly a spectacular sight.
What's going on? Is it Chinese New Year?
[Oh my god, I can't breathe! So many wild Pokémon!]
While Pokémon is wonderful, the ferocity of Scyther in the past is something everyone has witnessed.
"What a strong wind!"
It started as a gentle breeze, but gradually intensified and soon became a howling wind.
Even through the screen, you can tell from the surrounding environment and the reactions of the bugs and Pokémon that it really was windy!
"By the water, in a strong wind? Could it be...?"
Ye Yinchuan had a vague guess in his heart.
He listened to the voices of those Pokémon, trying to get them verified.
(Such a powerful... such a cleansing power...)
(The wind blowing from the north...)
(The lakeside... I must go to the lakeside... Maybe I'll have a chance to see him...)
Because there were just too many Pokémon around.
Ye Yinchuan could only manage to glean a few key words from the noise.
Moreover, the inner thoughts of wild Pokémon seem to be more obscure and difficult to understand than those of Pokémon that frequently come into contact with humans.
"Clean, north wind, lakeside... Could it really be it again?"
As a transmigrator familiar with the Pokémon series.
After piecing together these keywords, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but get excited.
Could it be that person...?
Messenger of the North Wind, Guardian of Water!
The thought of that mysterious, beautiful, powerful, and agile figure filled Ye Yinchuan with longing.
at this time.
Ah, the insect has already noticed it too.
Although many wild Pokémon gathered together, there was no disturbance or attack between them.
The wind was blowing from the north, and the air, which had been warm and bright just moments before, now felt chilly, though exceptionally clean.
Ah Chong followed the main group and quickened his pace.
Even before we got close to the lake, we could see a blue beast-like figure, bathed in light and with an elegant, graceful form, slowly walking out of the depths of the forest from the other side of the lake.
[Holy crap! What is this?! Is this even a Pokémon?!]
[So handsome, so beautiful! Ah Chong, can you come closer?]
[Could this Pokémon be the legendary... Suicune?!]
What he saw before him confirmed what Ye Yinchuan had in mind.
Some viewers even recognized the name of the legendary Pokémon in the comments.
It is Suicune, one of the three legendary beasts of Ho-Oh!
The water spirit, carrying the north wind, is approaching the lake; its steps are light, yet increasingly faster.
It finally started running.
Because his entire body was enveloped in light.
Its shape is elusive, making people eager to explore it, yet they can't see it clearly and can only sense its mystery through its blurry outline.
Her movements and postures were so graceful and light that they conveyed no sense of heaviness whatsoever. Every gesture was filled with an unimaginable and unattainable beauty.
Given the current scene, everything seems like a dream, almost unreal.
[Am I being too overexcited? I saw Suicune up close in a livestream with over 2,000 followers?]
[Is this Pokémon? Or is it just special effects?]
[Suicune, it's Suicune! What incredible luck! First, a Shiny Scyther, and then she encountered a legendary Pokémon!]
Ah Chong was also stunned, staring blankly at Shui Jun's figure.
Just like the other Pokémon around him, his eyes were filled with reverence and longing.
While excited, Ye Yinchuan also diligently observed Suicune.
Perhaps it was because of his discerning eye for treasures that he was able to see through the light emanating from Suijun and clearly discern Suijun's true appearance—
It's pretty much what I remembered.
But it is even more breathtaking and more direct; its mystery and beauty are so powerful they seem to reach the heavens!
"Beautiful, so beautiful!"
Ye Yinchuan's eyes were filled with a sense of rapture.
Suicune has an elegant and slender body like a leopard, with a blue body and white diamond-shaped patterns arranged on its sides, resembling some kind of ancient sacrificial script, full of divine beauty.
It has a sapphire-like headdress, which is quite exaggerated but also very harmonious.
With her flowing purple hair, she inexplicably exudes a noble air.
In addition, two white ribbons wrap around the body—
Few people would notice at first glance that it is actually Suicune's tail.
Suicune's appearance can be described as elegant to the extreme!
Mysterious, noble, elegant, beautiful, powerful... these words are almost perfect when applied to Suicune!
One more small detail: Suicune's chin resembles the goatee of an Egyptian pharaoh.
This is also a manifestation of its nobility and power.
Taking advantage of the rare opportunity, Ye Yinchuan didn't forget to take a look at Suijun's interface.
This was the first time he had ever actually seen a mythical beast and its corresponding interface, even though it was only through a live stream, it was still a rare and precious experience.
[Aurora Pokémon: Suicune]

[Trait: ?]
"Did I just watch something that turned out to be a waste of time?"
Looking at the numerous question marks on the panel, Ye Yinchuan almost wondered if his system was malfunctioning.
However, the fact that divine beasts don't have individual stats and race stats made Ye Yinchuan think it was reasonable.
Clearly, in the world of Pokémon, legendary Pokémon have a higher status.
At least for now, it's unlikely that a regular Pokémon will have a higher base stat and individual value than a legendary Pokémon!
Moreover, Suicune, along with the other three legendary beasts, is theoretically unique.
So where does the concept of high or low individual values come from?
Of course, Ye Yinchuan could not rule out the possibility that his [Insightful Eyes] permissions were not high enough to see the full panel of the divine beast.
It's also worth noting that Suicune's level and ability are visible.
Level 100 should be the maximum level.
And its ability is that Suicune has two abilities...
Since they're all mythical beasts, it's reasonable for them to have more special characteristics, right?
However, after searching, Ye Yinchuan found that dual traits don't seem to be a privilege of divine beasts.
In the Pokémon world, some Pokémon with exceptional talents have the opportunity to possess multiple abilities, unlike in the games where they are completely locked into one.
In that brief moment of stunned silence, Suijun had already leaped onto the lake surface.
Its running on the water is like a dragonfly skimming the surface, or like a graceful dance, with smooth and fluid movements without any hindrance.
The water surface that Suicune touches instantly becomes incredibly clean and clear, and you can even see the Pokémon energy overflowing, radiating an incredible light!
The lake water was originally ordinary, even somewhat murky and impurities.
It seems that just because of Suijun's touch, it turned into holy water that is rare in the world!
[My God! Is Suigun purifying the water source? This is mind-blowing!]
[I'm offering a hefty sum for Mr. Shui's foot bath water! I've heard that drinking it can prolong life and restore health!]
"What the hell is Sui-kun's foot bath water...?"
Ye Yinchuan has to admit, some of the comments are truly hilarious.
It instantly brought me back to reality; its ability to spoil the mood is amazing!
The water spirit kept leaping on the lake's surface until it purified the entire lake, making it spotless and sparkling.
Only then did it glance at Ah Chong, or rather, at the camera lens, with a gaze that looked straight ahead and detached from everything.
[Oh my god! I made eye contact with Suicune!]
So handsome! So beautiful! So strong!
Immediately afterwards, Suijun let out a cry, its sound clear and bright, like the howling of the north wind.
Ye Yinchuan's expression shifted, and he quickly used his [Heart of Listening] ability to try and see what the divine beast was thinking.
The result is meaningless; it's just a matter of yelling...
"Okay, okay, is this how you play?"
Then, Suicune leaped past Achic, and also over many other Pokémon.
It glanced back once, then ran away with the north wind.
Only Ah-Chong and a group of Pokémon were left standing bewildered in the wind, their expressions a mixture of astonishment and reverence.
What are you standing there for? Throw the ball!
Upon seeing this comment, Ye Yinchuan suddenly recalled some unpleasant memories.
That was around episode 53 of the Pokémon series "Original Journeys," where the writers gave Suicune a terrible performance...
The most criticized aspect is that its ability to purify even a small amount of polluted water drops drastically, and it gets caught in nets by humans, lying on the ground howling in pain...
Then, without warning, "One-Ball Man Gou" grabbed him with a red and white ball...
Because of this plot arrangement, Suicune's power and prestige, built up over ten years in other Pokémon works, were destroyed in the minds of many people.
They were called "the shame of the mythical beasts" and even stigmatized as "water dogs"!
Ye Yinchuan's attitude towards this can only be described as that of a damn screenwriter who messed things up haphazardly.
Our Water Lord is definitely a victim; his reputation has been completely ruined!
Ye Yinchuan believed that in the world before he transmigrated, there were many people like him who did not accept this part of the story.
At one point, it was even suspected that the Suicune was actually a Ditto in disguise...
Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, Zoroark could transform into one of the Three Holy Beasts in a certain theatrical version, right...?
That's the most reasonable explanation!
Now, let's return to the world of Pokémon.
Clearly, many people recognize Suicune, and as a legendary Pokémon, Suicune maintains a high level of prestige.
This brought Ye Yinchuan some comfort.
As for that comment, it was probably just for laughs!
Suijun has left, and the north wind has gradually subsided.
"Hey Bug, don't just stand there! Quickly drink some of this water with your Pokémon. This water was purified by Suicune, and it still contains some of Suicune's energy. It might have some amazing effects, so hurry up before it completely dissipates!"
Ye Yinchuan reminded him.
He observed that the surrounding Pokémon all drank water immediately after Suicune left.
This conclusion was drawn based on the fact that all the Pokémon had been attracted by Suicune.
"Okay, Kirby!"
Ah, the insect obeys my every word.
Ye Yinchuan also reminded everyone:
"Dear viewers in the live stream, you shouldn't drink untreated water from the wild. It may contain a large number of bacteria, viruses, or even parasite eggs... except for water purified by Suicune!"
[Thanks, streamer! I've learned a lot! I didn't get a chance to go into the wild, and I didn't get a chance to encounter Suicune!]
[That kid Chong, he seems to get all the good things in the world! I'm so envious!]
Ye Yinchuan was watching the stats of Ah Chong and the other Pokémon.
He wanted to confirm the changes that occurred after they drank the water purified by Water King.
This will be invaluable intelligence.
All I saw was...
Including wild Pokémon, any Pokémon that drank water purified by Suicune was filled with light, which was the residual Pokémon energy from Suicune.
Some Pokémon level up at a visible rate, ranging from 1 to 3 levels.
Some Pokémon, however, have their Individual Values (IVs) increased by 1 to 2 points.
It is worth mentioning that.
Ye Yinchuan noticed that some Pokémon carried diseases.
But by this time, those diseases had been significantly alleviated, or even cured!
"This is a true divine beast!"
Seeing the effects of the water purified by Shui Jun, Ye Yinchuan was excited.
But he also realized that the energy that Suicune had left was rapidly dissipating.
This means that although this water source is powerful and special, it has a certain time sensitivity and is truly something that can only be encountered by chance.
"It seems that in the Pokémon world, encountering a legendary Pokémon is a truly extraordinary experience. Suicune is just one of Ho-Oh's three legendary Pokémon, at best a second-tier legendary Pokémon. If it were to encounter a first-tier legendary Pokémon like Ho-Oh..."
Ye Yinchuan thought of the legend of the Phoenix King—
Feathers that shimmer with seven colors bring happiness. Those who see Ho-Oh will have eternal happiness.
Just from this legend, one can feel just how powerful a mythical beast like Ho-Oh truly is!
It is worth mentioning the legends about the phoenix and the three sacred beasts.
The Three Legendary Beasts were not originally divine beasts; they were simply three unknown Pokémon that were burned to death.
After being revived by Ho-Oh, they became one of the Three Legendary Beasts, serving as Ho-Oh's personal guard. Some also say they were Ho-Oh's messengers observing the human world!
"If I had the chance, I'd really like to see a mythical beast like Ho-Oh with my own eyes. I wonder when I'll have that opportunity..."
Ye Yinchuan thought to himself, full of anticipation.
"Hey, it's time to go! Suicune's already gone. Once those wild Pokémon finish drinking, they might become aggressive again!"
"Gather your thoughts," Ye Yinchuan reminded him.
"Okay! Just a moment, just a moment!"
Ah Chong took out a large thermos from his backpack and poured out all the water inside.
Then, it was filled with the water source that had been purified by Suicune.
Upon seeing this, Ye Yinchuan sighed inwardly, but it was understandable. After all, with such "divine water" in front of him, who could guarantee that he wouldn't be greedy?
"Kabbit, I'll pack up this water for you. Give me an address later and I'll mail it to you."
When I heard Ah Chong say that.
Ye Yinchuan's eyes lit up, a touch of emotion welling up within him—
It seems Ah Chong really cares about me!
Wow! Is this what male camaraderie is like?
"Hey, I'll offer you 50,000 for this cup of water. Will you sell it?"
[I envy the streamer; they get to drink Mizuki's foot bath water!]
A flurry of comments also appeared on the screen.
"Snorlax, I'm planning to end this adventure now. I'm already very satisfied with catching this Scyther. Meeting Suicune was an unexpected bonus. Thank you so much; if it weren't for you today, my fate might have been completely different."
Ah Chong is truly grateful.
If it weren't for Ye Yinchuan, he might very well have died at the hands of the giant needle bee swarm.
"Although our collaboration has come to an end, don't worry, Kirby, I'll make up for the appraisal fee I promised you later!"
"Oh! Don't mention it, you're too kind! You've already given me more than enough gifts!"
Ye Yinchuan was speaking from the heart, and he changed the subject, saying...
"Could you tell me and the viewers in the live stream what Suicune's foot bath water tastes like?"
Ah Chong was taken aback, and while walking back, he said with a smile:
"It's incredibly sweet, but it tastes just like water. However, after drinking it, I felt light and airy, and all my fatigue and aches and pains miraculously disappeared!"
"Understood."
Ye Yinchuan nodded. After hearing Ah Chong's description, he wanted to drink it even more.
Since Ah Chong offered to send him a cup, Ye Yinchuan felt a little hopeful.
Although he was certain that the energy left behind by Suicune would gradually dissipate.
But what if there's even the slightest trace left?
That is precious enough, a rare and hard-to-find holy water!
"Family members, it's time. This afternoon's live stream ends here. See you again at 7 PM!"
Ye Yinchuan checked the time and realized it was almost time to get off work.
Hey streamer, can we talk about Water Jun instead?
[Ending the broadcast so quickly? New streamers are so inexperienced!]
"Suiki? It's the embodiment of the North Wind, the guardian that purifies water sources. I don't know if you've heard of Raikou and Yandi, these two divine beasts. They are both among the Three Holy Beasts. It's said that they weren't originally divine beasts, but..."
Ye Yinchuan told the audience everything he knew.
Wow, so the three legendary beasts are related to Ho-Oh? Ho-Oh is amazing!
[Not a streamer? Where did you hear these stories? Did you make them up yourself?]
"Don't rush, I have something even more outrageous to tell you. Do you know what the original forms of the three legendary beasts are? Suicune is water, Raikou is lightning, and Entei is fire..."
[What is it? Hurry up, host, I'm in a hurry!]
"Some say that their original forms were the three earliest evolved forms of Eevee: Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon!"
Holy crap, this is ridiculous!
【I think that makes a lot of sense; the attributes all match!】
That Ho-Oh is amazing! Its plastic surgery techniques are incredible too!
[You think? That mythical beasts are just laughing and joking with you?]
"Alright, alright, that's it for the live stream. See you tonight!"
Ignoring the controversy, Ye Yinchuan shut down the live stream.
He picked up his phone and saw a text message—
[Dear Mr. Ye, the Water-type Pokémon you entrusted to our company for live transport is on its way. Please wait at home to receive it! We will serve you wholeheartedly, monitor its condition closely, and ensure the Pokémon's health and survival!]
Suicune's story was shown all at once~ Some people suggested that the descriptions of Pokémon appearances shouldn't be too detailed, and that pictures should be inserted into the descriptions. I'll try it out and see what everyone thinks?
