Chapter 196: A real dragon Pokémon? Existing in fantasy? Sorry, I really know this one
Chapter 196: A real dragon-type Pokémon? Existing in fantasy? Sorry, I actually know this one...
[Host, why do Gengar and Pipi look so similar? Are they related in some way? ]
Before seeing the barrage about "real dragon-type Pokémon", Ye Yinchuan glanced at this barrage.
He suddenly remembered some rumors about Gengar and Pixie before he traveled through time.
Picosi is the evolved form of Pipi.
In fact, both Pipi and Pixi are quite similar to Gengar.
For example, they are all chubby, have four limbs, and two pointed ears.
Therefore, people often discuss whether there is any connection between them, resulting in various hypotheses.
Back then, Pipi's family was still normal type, while Gengar was a ghost type, and the two could not attack each other.
There is a saying that Gengar is actually Pixie's shadow, because you can't attack your own shadow...
But later, Pipi became a fairy, so this statement became a bit untenable.
What's more, Gengar is not just a ghost type, he also has a poison type.
As for some other statements, they are also very interesting.
For example, Gengar is the ghost of Picosi. After Picosi died, he became Gengar.
For example, Gastly and Haunter weigh only 0.1 kg, but after evolving into Gengar, they weigh 40.5 kg. Some people wonder if the condition for Haunter to evolve is to eat a Pixie...'
There is actually a detail that can support this point.
That is, Gengar and his family are all poison-type, and the poison-type is better at restraining the fairy-type Pipi and his family.
In this case, the natural enemy or predator-prey relationship makes sense.
Of course, all of this is just a hypothesis and can be treated as an interesting anecdote. After all, there is no solid evidence.
When Ye Yinchuan said this, the barrage of comments sparked a heated discussion.
[You know what, Gengar and Pipi are really a bit similar! 】
[I know Pipi, but who is Picosi? ]
[666, it is indeed possible for fairies to turn into ghosts after death! ]
"Pixie is the evolved form of Pixie, and Moonstone can evolve it."
Ye Yinchuan was not surprised at all to see that some people didn't know Picosi, because Picosi itself is rare.
The subsequent forms, which require precious moonstones to evolve, are even less well known.
"I won't go into detail about this. I don't even have a picture. What the hell are you talking about?"
[Anchor, please be civilized. Talk about chicken instead of...neck? That's fine. ]
[Moonstone? Is there really such a stone? I have never heard of it...]
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan's mind was drawn back to the barrage about "What is the real dragon-type Pokémon".
[Rayquaza! It has to be Rayquaza! The real sky dragon! ]
[Of course it's the Double Axe War Dragon and the Land Shark. These two dragons can often be seen in competitions! ]
[If you can't even dance the "Dragon Dance", then don't come here to try to cheat me, okay? ]
[My race value is 600, Slimy Dragon, I don’t accept it! 】
[I laughed. A dragon that can't fly is also called a dragon? I vote for Dragonite and Dragonite! ]
Looking at the barrage, Ye Yinchuan was also filled with thoughts.
At the same time, he really wanted to complain about the fact that people in this world didn't even know Groudon and Kyogre, but knew Rayquaza...
Maybe it's because Groudon and Kyogre have been sleeping, while Rayquaza is still active in the atmosphere, so it's inevitable that they will be observed?
However, most people only know about the existence of Rayquaza and have seen some photos and videos, but it is impossible for them to actually see Rayquaza!
In short, Rayquaza's reputation as the "Sky Dragon" is still well-known.
During the discussion, many dragon-type Pokémon were listed in the barrage.
These dragon-type Pokémon are indeed powerful, and many of them are "late bloomers" in the Pokémon setting, that is, they may not be strong in the early stages, but when they evolve to their final form, their race value is as high as 600, which is a level stronger than ordinary Pokémon.
There is also a name for these Pokémon, which is "quasi-gods".
To put it bluntly, it is a "quasi-mythical beast", also called a "pseudo-legend".
In the game, the final evolution of the quasi-god Pokémon is equivalent to the strength of the legendary Pokémon.
In this world, these Pokémon are equally powerful, and it is extremely difficult to evolve them to their final forms. For some of them, people only know what their final evolved forms look like, but don't know how they evolved.
For example, the evolution path of Dragonite.
From Dratini to Haxorus, it was easy to understand, but the final evolution into a "Fat" one was really surprising.
There is also the Slimy Dragon. When it was young, it looked like mud, except that it was more good-looking. Even after it evolved into a Slimy Dragon, it looked more like a snail. Who would have thought that it would eventually evolve into a dragon?
Of course, it is easier to tell that Slimy Dragon is better than Dragonite.
In this world, there are scholars who have conducted special research and finally came to a conclusion. Otherwise, the name of Nian Meilong might not have been passed down in this way.
Compared to most people, Ye Yinchuan naturally knows more about dragon-type Pokémon, and is even far ahead.
"Guardians of the Water City" Latios and Latias;
"The Twin Dragons of Time and Space" Dialga and Palkia;
The "Three Dragons of Tao" Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem;
"Dragon Giant" Regidrago;
Giratina, the "Pluto Dragon"
"The Great God of Glory" Ultimate Necrozma;
"Regulator of Order" Zygarde;
Not to mention, there are the "Three Paradox Dragons" that are in opposition to the "Three Holy Beasts", and the "Paradise Guardian Dragons" that look like means of transportation, Gulliver and Milliver.
The dragon-type Pokémon that Ye Yinchuan thought of were basically legendary Pokémon.
Therefore, it is little known in this world.
There are even some paradoxes from other worlds, or ancient and future times, which may or may not appear in reality.
But if we compare the appearance and the "truly worthy dragon type", these powerful dragon types must have a place.
From here, we can also see how powerful dragon-type Pokémon are.
The fact that so many legendary Pokémon are related to the dragon type is enough to explain the problem.
It can almost be said that the dragon type is synonymous with power.
And in this world, the power of dragon energy perfectly illustrates this point.
A Pokémon that simply possesses some dragon genes and masters some dragon energy can be able to excel.
So, how powerful are those true dragon-type Pokémon, the so-called "true dragons"?
"The real dragon-type Pokémon... may be more mysterious and powerful than we imagined. Rayquaza should be one of them!"
Ye Yinchuan gave such an evaluation.
After all, in the original Pokémon, Rayquaza's record is quite amazing. It can fight against seven legendary beasts at the same time and hold its own. Not to mention the dragon type, it is quite impressive even among legendary beasts.
The most classic scene is when Groudon and Kyogre are fighting each other and the world is about to be destroyed. Then the sky dragon Rayquaza comes down to try to stop the fight.
Counter violence with absolute violence.
[The host is so good, do you know anything about Rayquaza? 】
[Rayquaza is indeed awesome, but it is only active in the upper atmosphere, and ordinary people like us can't see it at all! ]
"Rayquaza? I understand a little bit."
Ye Yinchuan responded calmly, and at the same time noticed that the netizen with the username "幻之宝可梦" made another comment:
[Anchor, I am currently tracking a real dragon-type Pokémon. It is very mysterious and is the cub of a real dragon. Everyone says that it does not exist, but I know that it must exist.
This time, I will definitely catch it! If I can catch it, I can prove to the world that real dragons exist!
Host, this is a rare opportunity. I hope you can witness this scene. If I encounter any emergency, I would like you to lend a hand. How about that? 】
Looking at the barrage, Ye Yinchuan seemed to be thinking about something.
"A true dragon? A true dragon-type Pokémon?"
At this time, Ye Yinchuan couldn't imagine what Pokémon the other party was talking about.
But no matter what, such statements have attracted his attention.
[This person seems a bit weird...]
[A real dragon? Could it be that they discovered the Rayquaza cub? ]
【The green caterpillar said he had something to say.】
Ye Yinchuan approved the connection application of this "Phantom Pokémon".
【Connection successful! 】
Along with the prompt, the connecting screen appeared, which was in a deep mountain forest, and by the water near a cliff.
Needless to say, it's obviously wild.
[Wow, you're still out in the wild so late, are you fishing? ]
[Fishing? Didn’t I say I wanted to catch a real dragon?]
[It feels like another expert. Look at his Pokémon...]
Ye Yinchuan also noticed that there were two Pokémon standing next to this man.
And he observed more carefully, and saw that there was a Pokémon in the distance, keeping watch.
A blue crocodile, a swamp king, and a lotus hat boy.
Although the blue crocodile is a crocodile, it can walk on two feet and is more like a reptile like a dinosaur. Its body is blue with beige patterns on its belly, red bone plates distributed on its body, and the bone plates on its head are like a cockscomb, adding a bit of a "Shamatte" temperament to the blue crocodile.
That’s right, the blue crocodile is the evolved form of the small saw crocodile.
In terms of appearance, it seems to have declined.
But in terms of strength, it is undoubtedly a significant improvement.
It is said that the blue crocodile has a total of 48 teeth. The structure of the teeth is like a fish hook. Once bitten into the mouth, it is difficult to pull out.
If the prey tries to break free, it will surely suffer bruises.
The blue crocodile's teeth have a strong regenerative ability, and even if they fall off, they will grow back.
As for Swamp King, it is the evolved form of Woob.
A water and ground-type Pokémon with a plump body and very smooth skin.
The prototype is a giant salamander, with small eyes like two black dots, and purple and dark green stripes on its back and tail respectively.
Lilypad is the evolved form of Lilypad, a water and grass-type Pokémon.
Two-legged, almost humanoid,
The body is green, but there are two types: dark green and light blue-green. The dark green part looks like a jumpsuit, and the large lotus leaf on the top of the head is the "lotus hat".
Only the sharp nails on the limbs and a small patch on the duck's beak are red.
In Ye Yinchuan's opinion, the appearance of the lotus hat boy is basically a combination of water lily and kappa.
Among these three Pokémon, Crocodile has the highest level, which is level 27.
The Swamp King and the Lotus Hat Boy both looked to be in their early twenties.
This is a relatively standard configuration.
For many trainers, the first Pokémon they acquire is the one that has the highest level of training, after all, there is a time sequence for acquisition and training.
In addition, this Pokémon is often the main force.
"Hello, host."
Ye Yinchuan took a quick glance and the contact greeted him.
The person who contacted also looked young and was wearing outdoor equipment that was cold-proof and waterproof.
He held a fishing rod in his hand.
There are also net-like capture devices arranged on the water surface, which were obviously prepared in advance.
According to him, it was to capture the "young dragon". "Hello, what's your name?"
Ye Yinchuan greeted the other party, "Have you seen the real dragon cub you mentioned?"
He came straight to the point and asked many questions that the audience were concerned about.
[Yeah, there are so many dragon-type Pokémon, which one can be called a true dragon? Is it not even as good as Rayquaza? ]
[I'm quite curious! It keeps people in suspense! ]
"Host, you can just call me Ah Huan. My ambition is to verify for people all over the world whether some Pokémon that are considered fantasy in this world really exist.
What I am about to catch is a real dragon cub! Not only have I seen their figures, but people all over the world have also seen similar figures. If you don’t believe me, I can send you photos…”
As he spoke, the informant sent out a bunch of photos, all of which were eyewitness evidence of the so-called "real dragon cubs."
In all these photos, there is a blue-purple figure, which basically appears in the water.
But they either flash by or are blurry and difficult to see clearly.
[What is this? Is it a loach? ]
[Impossible, there is no such long loach. It doesn't look like a Gyarados either, it has a very slender body...]
[A true dragon cub? That's it? Doesn't it look oppressive? ]
[I can't see it clearly at all. I would believe you if you said it was Vaporeon swimming over! ]
There was a lot of discussion on the barrage.
However, most people expressed doubts about the claim of "real dragon cub".
"Eh? This..."
But when Ye Yinchuan saw this figure, he could vaguely recognize what kind of Pokémon it was.
There is a saying that goes, once a certain impression is formed, even if it is full of mosaics or most abstract, you can still recognize it at a glance.
It’s just like the haters of a certain popular young star, who have reached the state where everything in the world can be “Kun”.
"I see... there is something to this true dragon cub."
Ye Yinchuan said in his heart.
The other side also threw out a high-definition photo:
"Is this picture clear enough? This Pokémon is under this pool of water. It only comes out to breathe when it's late at night. I spent several months squatting there before I was able to take a picture like this.
I concluded that tonight is the time when it will come out of the water again and completely molt. After the molt is complete, it will be very hungry, so the probability of catching it will be much greater! "
[How many months did you squat? Do you have that much perseverance? ]
[I think I've seen this thing on a forum before. It's just a big snake at best. How can it be related to a real dragon?]
[It feels like p...]
At this time, in order to prove it, the informant pointed the camera at a bucket next to him.
It was not filled with water, but instead with the shed skin of a creature. It looked bluish-purple and shone with a faint, jewel-like light.
"This is the skin of a real dragon cub. Look at it, this smoothness and texture are definitely not from an ordinary Pokémon!"
[No, you really have something? ]
[Brother, I am in the fur business and would like to buy your shed skin. What is your price?]
[6. Even if it sheds its skin, it still looks like a snake... As for the dragon, it seems to be even worse than the host's Milotic! ]
"That's great. This molted skin must be worth a lot of money."
Ye Yinchuan nodded with admiration in his eyes.
It seems that this big brother’s several months of waiting were not in vain.
According to the original Pokémon illustrated manual, the skin of this Pokémon is extremely precious, and the products made from it are top-level luxury goods.
If it were placed in this world, it probably wouldn't be bad.
After all, things are rare and valuable.
However, Ye Yinchuan vaguely remembered that it seemed that the encyclopedia said that this kind of Pokémon would shed its skin almost every day?
"You just said, complete molting, what do you mean?"
"Host, from what I've observed, this dragon cub is shedding its skin almost every day, and its body is also growing rapidly, changing almost every day... However, it only sheds a part of its skin every day, and only once every one to two months will it shed a large part... By then, it will shed all of its skin, and its body will grow a lot."
As he spoke, the person on the line gestured with his hands.
"When I first came here and spotted it, it was only as thick as my forearm, like a small python... But in just a short time, its size has grown four or five times, now it's almost two meters long!"
Ye Yinchuan nodded. So that's how it was. This was information he didn't know.
At this moment, bubbles suddenly appeared on the water surface.
The contact person's attention was suddenly focused:
“It looks like it’s coming!”
As he spoke, he put his phone aside and pointed the camera at the water.
I saw the water surface was surging. If you look closely, you will find that the water flow here is very fast, and there is a waterfall right next to it.
In addition, it was night and the darkness was deep, which always gave people a feeling of undercurrents and lurking dangers.
"There's a reaction!"
The person on the line cried out as he felt a strong tug on the fishing rod in his hand.
The enormous force almost dragged him into the water.
"Blue Crocodile!"
The Linker called out to his Pokémon, only to see the Blue Crocodile biting down on his shirt, its fishhook-like teeth firmly hooking it.
The clothes are specially made with a special load-bearing structure and are designed to meet this situation.
As long as the blue crocodile bites, the clothes will not be torn easily.
It's just a bit troublesome to untie it.
"Is this okay?"
Ye Yinchuan could only say that the development of Pokémon was full of imagination and possibilities.
With the help of the blue crocodile, the person connected was temporarily worry-free and was able to hold on to the fish tank firmly.
"Blue Crocodile, use more force!"
Feeling that the time was ripe, the liaison commanded Blue Crocodile to pull back.
The huge force caused the person connected to fall backwards, and the fishing rod also caught a blue-purple Pokémon that looked like a snake dragon from the water.
This Pokémon was brought directly to the shore. It was nearly two meters in size and was jumping around on the land.
"Success! Swamp King, use "Mud Shot"!"
"Lotus Hat Boy, use "Sway Dance"!"
The two Pokémon of the connected person attacked instantly.
Swamplord threw mud, covering the Pokémon to the ground.
And the Lotus Hat Boy staggered and released special energy to mentally attack the Pokémon.
For a moment, the Pokémon was dizzy and tried to struggle back into the water.
"Use Bite on it, don't seriously injure it!"
The contact person held the fishing rod tightly, and when he felt that the other party's struggle was not strong enough, he let the blue crocodile go.
The blue crocodile pounced on it and bit it. Its well-developed jaws acted like a stapler, biting it to the ground together.
All this happened suddenly.
At the same time, everyone saw clearly the posture of that Pokémon.
[Oh my god, what a beautiful Pokémon, I've never seen one before! ]
[Wow, could it really be a real dragon cub? ]
[It feels very immature, as if it can still grow and evolve! ]
At this time, fearing that the Pokémon would run away, the informant threw out a net to cover it and the blue crocodile.
The Swamp King also moved to block his retreat.
Under such an encirclement, this Pokémon has no way to escape, but it is unknown whether there will be any fierce resistance.
"Master, Master... this Pokémon must be the cub of a real dragon, a true dragon-type Pokémon!"
The person connected the line panted and said excitedly,
"Look at its forehead, it has started to have some bumps, and it will grow dragon horns in the future! Look at the sides of its head, one day, they will grow into wings! Even you may not recognize such a Pokémon!"
[Am I the only one who thinks this thing is cute? Its eyes are blinking, how adorable! ]
[This big nose reminds me of a mole and a unicorn beetle...]
[I hope there are Pokémon that the host doesn't know. This guy is really outrageous! ]
When Ye Yinchuan heard what the caller said, he looked strange and said:
"I'm sorry, I really know this one. But you're right, this is indeed a dragon-type Pokémon, and a pretty pure one at that."
"what?"
The caller had a look of surprise on his face, as if asking, do you know all this?
Ye Yinchuan gave him an affirmative look and said, "Yes, I know him."
The main thing is that this thing is too familiar to Ye Yinchuan!
This dragon-type Pokémon is Dragonite's original form, Dratini!
When Ye Yinchuan told the truth, it caused a huge uproar.
"Dragonite? Will it eventually evolve into Dragonite? Impossible? Streamer... Dragonite doesn't look like it at all!"
[The host thought we had never seen Dragonite, right? ]
[Although we haven’t found Dragonite’s egg or its pre-evolution yet… but you tell me, is this Dragonite? ]
[I would rather believe that Dragonite is the ancient form of Charizard. I don't believe this! ]
[Mini Dragon... this name is just a joke! It's almost two meters tall, how can it be mini? ]
Seeing everyone's disbelief, Ye Yinchuan was helpless:
"Some Pokémon have very different evolutions before and after, but this is Dratini, and after it evolves, it is called Haxorus. In some places overseas, some people regard Haxorus as the controller of the weather, and place tributes in the lakes where they live. The one flying in the sky in the photo you just posted is actually Haxorus."
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan's gaze fell on the panel of the mini dragon.
