Chapter 246: Vulcan Moth, the two sides of the disaster Pokémon! Exclusive move: Fire Dance! Superimposed Butterfly Dance!
Ye Yinchuan expressed his guess:
"Powerful Pokémon like Vanguirus and Vulcano are called disasters because they have extremely high demands for resources and territory. Their survival strategies require them to occupy the living space of other Pokémon to meet their needs...
Of course, the difficulty of evolution of these Pokémon and the relative weakness of their offspring are also a very important reason. Perhaps in the long process of reproduction, they need enough deterrence to ensure that other Pokémon dare not act rashly against their offspring...
I have already talked about this in some detail when I talked about Bangilas, so I will not elaborate on it here.
In short, this Vulcan Moth is probably opening up a new territory for the purpose of laying eggs and hatching its young...
When the flames have consumed everything, a new life will be born from the charcoal and ashes - the burning worm! "
[It’s bad, the anchor has a Chuunibyou attack! ]
[Fortunately, this Vulcan Moth did not choose the place where we humans live as its territory, otherwise it would be like a monster attacking the city! ]
[To put it bluntly, it is to harm others and benefit oneself? This Vulcan Moth is not a good thing! ]
[Disaster Pokémon, why does it care about you? 】
Looking at the barrage, Ye Yinchuan smiled helplessly. He never thought that one day he would be able to see Pokémon being cyberbullied in another world...
But it's normal. Netizens like to give advice and criticize everything they see.
The main thing is that Pokémon like Vulcano and Bankiras are really not kind. Their destructive range and lethality are too great. Whenever they appear, they bring disaster with them. It’s hard for their reputation to improve!
[The Fire Moth is not completely harmful, right? The host just said that in ancient times, people and Pokémon who suffered from severe cold all regarded the Fire Moth as the incarnation of the sun, and its appearance could bring warmth.]
[The above, according to this, although Bangilas can cause earthquakes and sandstorms... can he also change the terrain and loosen up the earth? Turn the mountains into plains and create fertile land? ]
[You're right, there really is a Banjiras who turned a barren mountain into a plain, and expelled other creatures and humans, allowing the soil to regain vitality, and the spirit energy accumulated, making it particularly fertile, suitable for planting any kind of tree or fruit! ]
The discussion on the barrage also broadened Ye Yinchuan's thinking...
Pokémon like Bankiras and Vulcano are actually no different from natural disasters, but because they are Pokémon, they are ultimately living creatures and can be seen as the embodiment of disasters.
Disasters did exist for humans and Pokémon at that time, but they could also bring about new order and unexpected benefits based on destruction...
Take volcanic eruptions for example. They are certainly a disaster, but overall and in the long run, they can also have benefits.
For example, it will bring special minerals, such as sulfur, fertilize the land, and provide geothermal energy...
Students who have studied geography will understand.
But then again, disasters are disasters after all, and they cannot be deliberately beautified. Otherwise, it would be easy to talk without any concern and would be deceiving oneself.
Just discussing.
[Host, can you tell us more about the Vulcan Moth? We don't usually have a chance to see it, let alone understand it. Great! The gift has been sent! ]
Seeing the enthusiasm of the barrage for the Vulcan Moth, Ye Yinchuan thought for a moment and spoke:
"In fact, most burning bugs and vulcan moths live near volcanoes. I don't know why this burning bug chose to live here..."
As soon as he said this, Ye Yinchuan suddenly seemed to realize something, and a guess flashed through his mind, but this guess was not mature enough and had no basis, so he did not say it out loud.
[Didn’t I say before that the red soil here might be very special, so it attracted the Vulcan Moth and the Burning Bug? ]
[Could it be that, like the Thunder Stone that attracted three electric beasts last time, there is some incredible treasure hidden under this land? ]
[Could it be that there is a hidden volcano in this place that could erupt at any time? ]
"Uh……"
Ye Yinchuan stretched out his hand, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
You have all talked about the possibilities, what should I say later?
But even though he was mumbling in his heart, he still had to say what he had to say. Ye Yinchuan retrieved the eyewitness photos of the burning insect:
“Although this picture is not very clear, you should be able to see that the young of the Fire God Worm, the Burning Worm, has five sharp horns surrounding its body. There are even more intense flames erupting from these five sharp horns. And do you think the shape of these sharp horns resembles the flames of the sun?
In ancient times, the Burning Bug was called the Sun-stealing Larva, because many people believed that this Pokémon was born from the sun. Not only can they release flames, but they also like to feed on blazing flames..."
When saying this, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but think that the classification of Incineroar is a Torch Pokémon, and the name "Sun-Stealing Larva" makes it wonder if it has some of the same mythological color as Prometheus, the fire thief.
After all, it is clearly mentioned in the illustrated guide that incendiary insects and vulcan moths were believed in by ancient civilizations, and were depicted as gods of fire in ancient murals.
"As mentioned before, the incendiary bugs and the Vulcan moths will live near volcanoes. The volcanic ash brought by the volcanic eruption will block the sun and prevent the surrounding area from being completely dark. At this time, the Vulcan moths will act as the sun and illuminate the world...
But this statement is debatable. After all, volcanic ash itself is extremely dangerous due to its high temperature and toxicity. If there is such a large-scale volcanic ash that plunges the whole world into darkness, it would be a terrible disaster in itself...
I am more inclined to believe that when the volcanic ash erupted, it covered the sky, and the appearance of the Vulcan Moth illuminated the direction for those who were trapped in the darkness, giving them a chance to escape. "
[The Vulcan Mothman is pretty good. ]
[Is it possible that the Vulcan Moth eats the burning flames and absorbs the high temperature of the volcanic ash, making the volcanic ash less dangerous? ]
[Interesting, when there is no danger, the Vulcan Moth is the biggest danger? ]
Seeing the discussion in the barrage, Ye Yinchuan also found it quite interesting.
"The scale powder of the Vulcan Moth carries high temperatures and sparks. During a battle, these scale powders will play an important role, making it difficult for the enemy to get close. If you accidentally inhale these scale powders, it will burn your respiratory tract, causing great damage and pain."
When it comes to this point, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but think that this ability of the Vulcan Moth is similar to that of volcanic ash. In addition, the Vulcan Moth is set to live near volcanoes. It is not known whether it is a coincidence or a clever design.
“Another point is that the danger caused by the burning of the Vulcan Moth is not only the high temperature burning caused by the blazing flames, but also the suffocation caused by the lack of oxygen due to full combustion.
So you must remain alert to the dangers of the Vulcan Moth. Don't think you're safe if the fire doesn't burn you. You might suffer from oxygen deprivation if you stand nearby and watch the show."
[No wonder the host asked Ah Chong to run away immediately...]
[The Vulcan Moth is really dangerous! ]
[Host, have you ever seen what the Vulcan Moth really looks like? We clearly saw the Vulcan Moth, but it was so far away from us and shrouded in flames that we couldn't see it clearly, at all!]
In order to satisfy netizens' curiosity about the Vulcan Moth, Ye Yinchuan could only pull out the live broadcast footage and explain the blurred outline:
"Vulcan Moth, as the name suggests, is a moth Pokémon, and a large one at that. Generally, a newly evolved Vulcan Moth is at least two meters long... This Vulcan Moth, by comparing it to the environment, is at least nearly ten meters long. Among the Vulcan Moths, it is a very well-developed individual."
"The Vulcan Moth has three pairs of wings. You can compare this to the Burning Bug. The six horns on the Burning Bug that can release flames will become wings after evolution...
You should have heard that the Seraphim in Western mythology is usually a six-winged ball of light or fire... Maybe the origin of the Western Seraphim is the Vulcan moth. The wings of the Vulcan moth are covered with black spots, and the shape of its wings makes it look like a gorgeous flower with spots..."
[It seems that the host has really seen the Vulcan Moth, describing it in such detail! ]
[There is a saying that the various gods and monsters in our current mythology are all based on Pokémon! ]
[Black spots? If the Vulcan moth is the embodiment of the sun, then the black spots on its wings are sunspots, right? ]
Looking across the barrage of comments, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but nodded.
In fact, many Pokémon designs before the time travel incorporated mythology and various elements...
In this Pokémon world, it is the Tiangang that is reversed, and Pokémon has become the prototype of the myth.
For a time traveler, this is a very interesting phenomenon, but unfortunately, like a joke from another world, no one can share it.
"The antennae on the Vulcan Moth's cheeks are also very peculiar. Their style is similar to the decorations on the crowns of the sun gods in some ruins. Perhaps the inspiration for those decorations came from the Vulcan Moth...
A circle of white fur on its upper body adds to its mysterious and luxurious temperament.
By the way, although Vulcano is a real fire Pokémon, in fact, its eyes are like sapphires...
The body structure of the Vulcan Moth is different from that of ordinary insects. The middle of its body is black, while the sides are light blue, and there are obvious layers..."
Ye Yinchuan didn't say that, in fact, in his eyes, the body structure of the Vulcan Moth was like the head and beard of an Egyptian pharaoh.
This is also related to what was mentioned earlier. Some details of the Vulcan Moth can be linked to myths and legends, or decorations of images of gods in some civilization ruins.
[Host, does the Vulcan Moth have any powerful moves or characteristics? ]
In response to this question from the bullet screen, Ye Yinchuan also organized his words a little before answering:
"There is actually no clear record of the characteristics of the Vulcan Moth in any material, but we can infer it from its behavior...
As far as I know, the characteristics of the Vulcan Moth are that at least one of its flaming bodies cannot escape, but I don’t know about the others.”
"The characteristic of the Flame Body is that the entire body will be covered with flames. As long as it comes into contact with the enemy, the burning characteristics of the fire energy will take effect, causing the enemy to enter an abnormal state of burning..."
[Hmm... I can think of this even without the host telling me! ]
[I heard that there are different levels of characteristics, and the effects of different Pokémon are completely different. I guess Vulcano's Flame Body should be the top one! ]
[If you just flap your wings, it will start a forest fire. All the Pokémon nearby will retreat. Do you think it is top-notch? 】
In fact, Ye Yinchuan knew that the Vulture Moth had another possible characteristic, which was the insect's premonition, but it was difficult to explain here, so he didn't mention it.
"As for the most powerful moves... it's naturally its exclusive move, Fire Dance!
The Fire Dance is similar to the Insect-type Butterfly Dance, and can enhance one's abilities through special dance moves...
But it should be noted that Butterfly Dance itself does not cause damage, and Fire Dance itself is an attack move, but it has a buff effect. "
Because the Vulcan Moth possesses two attributes at the same time, the effects of these two moves, in theory, can be combined and used at the same time if mastered!"
As Ye Yinchuan spoke, he was also secretly moved.
In the game, Vulcano's Fire Dance move was once its exclusive move, until a Pokémon that was almost identical to Vulcano, but with poisonous fire attributes, appeared - Metamorphosis, which also uses Fire Dance.
In fact, the Iron Venom Moth is a paradoxical species of the Vulcan Moth, and it is a future species...
At least it hasn't been discovered in this world yet, so it doesn't matter even if we put it aside.
The Fire Dance move was once very powerful.
But later, an even more awesome exclusive move appeared, which was the exclusive move of the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile - Flashing Flame Song.
The effect in the game is the same, it causes damage and increases your special attack, but the chance of Flash Flame Song increasing is 100%, while Fire Dance only has half... and Flash Flame Song can ignore the Stand status...
In comparison, Fire Dance instantly felt inferior.
It is also nicknamed "Flashing Flame Low Song" by players...
But it doesn’t matter, in this Pokémon world, Vulcano has stood up.
The effect of Fire Dance is also 100% improved, and it can be combined with the effect of Butterfly Dance to achieve a significant improvement while attacking...
However, compared to the game, abilities can be improved step by step.
In reality, generally speaking, the cumulative effect of ability gains is not obvious, and may even produce diminishing marginal returns...
For example, if you use it twice in the game, it can be stacked to level 2.
But in reality, if you use it twice, the effect might be 1.5 times, and if you use it a third time, the effect might be only about 1.7...
What's more, by the time you use it for the third time, the effect of the first time may have worn off...
In short.
The number of times it is used and the physical strength and energy consumed are not proportional to the benefits obtained!
This can also be considered a disguised balance.
"Anchor, that is..."
Just when Ye Yinchuan had just stopped explaining, Ah Chong made a discovery.
Among the Pokémon that followed him and fled in one direction, there was a Gnat that was green and shining with Pokémon energy!
And it’s very close to the direction of the insect!
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but hold his forehead, this insect's luck was really good, the Vulcan Moth suddenly descended, and that commission was basically hopeless...
As a result, the glowing and colorful Zubat just came to the door on its own!
It is just like searching for a needle in a haystack but still failing to find it, when it is finally found it is effortless!
