Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan also held his breath slightly.
The fishing guy seemed to be talking about something quite serious; it looked like he actually knew something.
"What exactly is that?"
"It looks like a fish, but something feels off. Unlike other fish that swim around in the water, it just stays still, as if... it's seducing me."
[Could it be a water monkey?]
[Get out of the live stream, riddle teller!]
[Give us a shot!]
At this moment, the fisherman swallowed hard, as if still feeling lingering fear, and said:
"At that moment, I was thinking, should I go into the water and grab it? It was right on the shore, and it looked really big. Once I caught it, I planned to go back..."
[Damn, isn't that a guide fish?]
Don't be greedy! This fish is deliberately luring you into the water; once you go in, you won't be able to get back up!
So, did you arrest him?
The fisherman's smile was tinged with bitterness, yet also with relief.
"I was originally planning to go down. Luckily, my tail suddenly barked, and a gust of cold wind made me shiver. Somehow, I suddenly got a clear look at the fish... My goodness! Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps!"
As he spoke, the fisherman crossed his arms and kept rubbing the skin on his arms, looking both cold and scared.
"Then, as if it knew I wasn't going down, it vanished in a flash!"
Hey buddy, you should at least explain clearly what that fish actually looks like!
[I'm speechless. He rambled on for ages and didn't get to the point!]
"That's pretty exciting. Bro, what does that fish actually look like? My viewers in the live stream are all asking."
Although, judging from what the fisherman said, it seemed that the fish had already escaped.
But Ye Yinchuan didn't mind too much. After all, the guy was talking so vividly, and the atmosphere of the surrounding environment was great, which attracted the audience in the live broadcast room.
Its popularity is also steadily increasing.
Ye Yinchuan was getting a little anxious because the older brother hadn't gotten to the point for a while.
"That fish... it's obviously not a normal fish. Its body is full of pits and bruises, its fins are tattered, it looks like it's been dead for days. It even has a human face, full of resentment, with sunken eyes, like it died with its eyes wide open, staring at me! It's huge, almost as big as this Magikarp! My god, I've never seen such a strange fish in my life. Do you think it can even be a fish?"
Upon hearing this description, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Do fish or Pokémon like this exist? He had absolutely no recollection of them.
and many more……
Ye Yinchuan seemed to have suddenly thought of something, something that seemed to fit, but he wasn't too sure.
[Outrageous! How could such a fish exist?!]
Could it be the ghost of Magikarp?
[It must be a dead person who turned into a water ghost and possessed the fish's corpse!]
It's getting dark, brother, hurry home! You're a real man for not running away from a fish like that!
You can fool your brothers, but don't fool yourself, buddy.
Clearly, the viewers in the live stream didn't quite believe it.
Including Ye Yinchuan, if he hadn't already made that connection, he would have been pretty much the same.
At this point, I searched for some information.
Ye Yinchuan understood.
"As expected, the people in this Pokémon world know far too little about Pokémon. They don't even know about this kind of Pokémon. But it's not a game, so it's understandable."
The fishing guy got a little annoyed when he saw the comments in the live stream that no one believed him.
"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes, I couldn't possibly be lying to you. If I were lying, I'd be a soldier for life!"
[For a fisherman, this is the ultimate oath!]
Who cares? No pictures, no proof!
[Exactly, the fish have all escaped, and you think you can rely on just your words?]
"I believe it."
Ye Yinchuan said firmly,
"Because according to this description, it is very similar to a Pokémon that I know."
This statement caused an uproar in the live stream.
[Was the anchor saying this on purpose to create a show?]
[That thing isn't a ghost, it's a Pokémon?]
[Oh no, I think the streamer's about to show off again!]
"Thank you, host. You're probably the only one who believes me."
The fishing guy said somewhat sullenly.
He really did see it, but unfortunately there was no evidence, and no one believed him.
At the same time, he was also very curious and couldn't help but ask Ye Yinchuan:
"What kind of Pokémon is that? Why does it look so scary?"
The moment the fishing guy asked that question, the live stream chat exploded—
[Holy crap! Dude, turn around right now!]
There's something in the water! It's a face! A rotting human face!
The fish is here again!
The fishing guy noticed the comments and his heart skipped a beat. When he saw what was happening on camera, he didn't dare to breathe.
Although it's dark now, you can still see it clearly through the phone's camera—
The strange fish with a human face appeared silently in the water behind him, staring at him with its eerie gaze.
"Host, what do we do now? Is this really a Pokémon? Tell me quickly!"
[My brother's ruthless! I would have run away the first time I saw this thing, but he's just standing there like an idiot!]
[This can't be a Pokémon? I'll just swallow a Magikarp whole!]
[Where's the super admin? Call the super admin right now! This live stream is getting dirty again, quickly blur out the content!]
I would never have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!
"Don't be afraid, and don't move around too much, lest you scare it away. I'm sure this is a Pokémon. Although it's obscure, it's not that no one has discovered it before, and some scholars have even studied it."
Ye Yinchuan wasn't entirely certain at first.
But seeing the one behind the older brother, especially the panel that popped up, there was no suspense left.
【Fish Pokémon: Feebas】
[Level: 13]
[Attribute: Water]
[Gender: Female]
[Racial stats: D-rank (200)]
Individual Value: Grade A (169)
【Characteristic: Sluggish】
[Character: Bold]
[Skill: Leap]
[Status: Curious]
[Evolutionary Path: Feebas - Milotic]
[Trait: None]
This thing is Feebas, which theoretically can evolve into Milotic!
Its evolution is so difficult and extensive that it is comparable to Magikarp evolving into Gyarados!
Although Feebas is ubiquitous in the original Pokémon lore, it seems that not many people recognize it in this Pokémon world.
"Hey streamer, is this for real? Tell me, what kind of Pokémon is this?"
Hearing Ye Yinchuan's certainty that it was a Pokémon, and his calm and confident tone, he was quite pleased.
The fisherman also relaxed a bit.
[Host, please elaborate!]
[Honestly, are there any Pokémon in this world that you don't recognize?]
[I've found out what it is! But I won't spoil it, let the host tell you!]
The curiosity of the fishing guy and the viewers in the live chat was extremely intense.
Ye Yinchuan began:
"This is a fish-shaped Pokémon called Feebas. And the Feebas you encountered is exceptionally ugly among them. Combined with the dim lighting, that's why it looks... like a ghost!"
