Chapter 254: The evolutionary path of the spiny-tailed insect? Holding a grudge? Being a masochist?
Chapter 254: The evolutionary path of the spiny-tailed insect? Holding a grudge? Being a masochist? The armored cocoon evolves into a poisonous powder moth!
In fact, Ye Yinchuan still has a little fantasy about the Slowpoke.
That is, if Shellder bites different places, Slowpoke will evolve into different forms and gain different abilities...
Is it possible that a Slowpoke can coexist with multiple Shellders and use them to strengthen its entire body?
Ye Yinchuan believes that it is possible, but it is very difficult.
Because the toxin of one Shellder could make Slowpoke even more stupid, if the toxin of so many Shellders were injected into it, wouldn't that be a mess?
Perhaps, if I tame a Slowpoke in the future and have nothing else to do, I can do some research in this direction.

Along with the prompt, a girl dressed in pink appeared on the screen. When she put on her hat, Ye Yinchuan realized that the clothes she was wearing actually looked a bit like Pokémon's cosplay costume...
Moreover, this Pokémon is a relatively weak insect-type Pokémon similar to Caterpillar - Thornytail.
In fact, the thorntail worm has another name, which is called mealworm.
Therefore, the user's username shows her love for this Pokémon.
If you look closely, you will find that even her hair is dyed the same red and yellow colors as the stingray.
You know what, it's quite pretty, youthful, playful and cute.
"Hello, little mealworm."
Ye Yinchuan greeted.
"Hey, hello, anchor. I've been watching your live broadcast for a long time, and today I finally connected. I have a lot of spinytails, can you help me identify them?
By the way, I happened to see a spinytail worm evolve a few days ago, but it looks a little strange. Can you help me check if it is mutated or sick? "
Hearing this, Ye Yinchuan's expression changed.
In fact, he is not too unfamiliar with the Pokémon such as Thornier, especially in the beginning, before it evolved into its form. It gave him a special sense of familiarity, probably because it looked very similar to Caterpillar!
They are all domestic insects, and even their evolutionary paths seem familiar.
However, Ye Yinchuan knew that the stingtail worm had a special feature compared to the green caterpillar...
That is, it has two evolutionary routes, and in the game settings, they are completely random!
At the same time, Ye Yinchuan also used his silent search technique to determine the situation of the stingtail worms in this world.
"I see. In this world, the evolutionary path of stingrays that evolve into hunting swallowtail butterflies is well known, but the other evolutionary path is less well known. And the evolution of stingrays..."
Ye Yinchuan used the [True Knowledge Atlas] to obtain the most accurate information about the stingtail insects in this world.
"That's right. In this world, the evolution of stingrays is not completely random, but follows certain rules. The difficulty or probability of evolution of the other evolutionary route corresponding to hunting swallowtail butterflies is much lower!"
After a brief review, Ye Yinchuan was already well prepared to deal with the next situation:
"Look, big sister, go straight to the baby!"
At the same time, Ye Yinchuan also glanced at the time.
"Family, there is only half an hour left. If this show is long, we will prepare to end the broadcast. If this show is fast, we may broadcast another one."
Hearing this, Bai Zhi next to her yawned and stretched her body and paws like a kitten.
[Generally I suggest that the anchor not sleep, but the assistant is sleepy, so I support it. ]
[Wait a minute? Where will the little assistant sleep later? They won't sleep together, right? Please don't let the anchor go off the air, protect our little assistant! ]
[He has to be a host. Others have beautiful women in luxurious houses, but he can live in a bare house. ]
[You don’t understand, the anchor can definitely earn over 10,000 yuan a month by live streaming like this! ]
Looking at the ridicule in the barrage, Ye Yinchuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Especially the last one, Ye Yinchuan didn’t know whether they were serious or just playing the opposite role.
Monthly income over 10,000?
A live broadcast alone costs 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. Am I just joking with you?
Bai Zhi was a little sleepy at first, but when she saw the barrage of comments, she was shocked awake again. She couldn't help but feel her face getting hot. She looked at Ye Yinchuan's reaction. Fortunately, he looked as if nothing had happened, so it wasn't that embarrassing.
At this time, the informant also pointed the camera at the stinging-tailed insects she raised.
The Pokémon Thorntail, as its name suggests, has a thorny tail.
As mentioned before, it is also called the mealworm, so most of its body color is a pinkish red. It has a single horn on its forehead and two spines on its tail, both of which are yellow.
There are uneven bumps on the head and back, and the one on the head is the most prominent, and they are all red.
The legs of the spiny-tailed insect also look like spikes, with suction cups on them, and are said to not slip on glass.
In addition, the eyes of the spiny-tailed insect are quite large, surrounded by a circle of yellow eye shadow, and the mouth is particularly plump, like a rabbit's mouth, or like two buttocks tightly pressed together.
The shape and color of the stingtail insect are actually quite nice to look at, as long as you don’t hate insects.
Ye Yinchuan began his own light-speed identification technique:
"The characteristic of this stinging worm is escape. As the name suggests, it is very good at escaping. It also has a special power that makes it immune to some restrictive moves... It is this characteristic that makes it difficult to use in combat. If it is used in guerrilla warfare in the wild, it is still good."
"Hmm... This one has its own egg move "Bug Bite". At this stage, its combat power is a little stronger than that of ordinary stingtails. Although stingtails are very easy to evolve, if you cultivate and train well, it can also be used as an ace move!"
"It's an S-class individual, a top-grade one. Its special feature is scale powder. Its moves are nothing special, but its high individual value is enough to make up for the disadvantage of the low insect race value. It's a tall one among short ones. There's nothing much to say about this principle."
Although Ye Yinchuan did not find any extremely special individuals after the identification, he did help the contact person and identified several with relatively good qualifications and appearance.
The key next is to look at the "shell cocoon" that the caller mentioned was a little strange.
The shell cocoon is the evolved form of the stingray. If it evolves further, it will become the hunting swallowtail butterfly.
"Host, look at this carapace cocoon. The shell is a little lavender. The pupil in the middle of the eye seems to be white, and the white of the eye is cloudy. I'm a little worried. Is it because of illness?"
Ye Yinchuan took a few glances and decided:
"This is not a carapace cocoon, but a shield cocoon."
Hearing this, the person connected was obviously stunned for a moment, and said with some confusion:
"What do you mean? I'm pretty sure this is the evolution of Thornier. How can it evolve into another Pokémon? I've never heard of Shieldbear!"
[That's normal. Don't the likes of the slug and the Slowpoke have multiple evolutionary routes? But I haven't heard of the other evolutionary route of the spinytail insect either. Is it because it's too unpopular? Or is it like the slug, which is very rare? ]
[If the anchor says there is, then there must be. I am a college student, and the professor of our school recommends that we watch the anchor's live broadcast when we have nothing to do. He said that the questions for the final exam may refer to the Pokémon that the anchor has broadcasted...]
When Bai Zhi saw one of the comments, her eyes widened and she opened her mouth, with an expression of surprise and awe.
After all, she herself is a college student. Although she has seen Ye Yinchuan's strength, she is surprised to see that there are professors in the school who strongly recommend his anchor and even use it as a reference for the final exam...
That feeling is very subtle, and as a young assistant, she also feels proud.
Ye Yinchuan explained:
"Shield Cocoon is a branch of Carapace Cocoon. They look very similar, but there is no doubt that they are both the evolution of Thornier. If they evolve further, they will also evolve into different forms of Pokémon."
"I think you must be wondering why there is such a difference in evolution, and what kind of Pokémon this Shield Cocoon will evolve into. Don't worry, listen to me slowly."
[Oh, the anchor has learned to ask and answer his own questions? ]
[I suspect he did it on purpose so that he could increase the length of his livestream and then go home straight away!]
"Generally, stingrays evolve into carapace cocoons, but only stingrays that have eaten a large amount of toxic plants before evolving can evolve into shield cocoons. You should be able to see that the silk of the shield cocoon is purple, which is a sign of toxins. The cloudy whites of the eyes are also due to similar reasons...
In addition, there is another obvious difference between the carapace cocoon and the shield cocoon. Above their eyes, the carapace cocoon obviously has a structure similar to eyelashes, which makes it look more beautiful, while the shield cocoon does not have it. This is like the difference between single eyelids and double eyelids. "
[Got it, I'll feed my stingray with poison now! ]
[Interesting, but why are shield cocoons so rare? There should be a lot of plants containing toxins in the wild, right? And the poison ability should be quite powerful? ]
"Good question. There is a reason why Shield Cocoon is so rare. Although Shield Cocoon can be evolved by eating toxins, and poison-related abilities do have advantages in some aspects... But even if the stingtail insects do not die after eating toxins, they will feel very painful...
Research shows that only a very small number of stinging insects enjoy the pain and evolve into armored cocoons in pain and pleasure. In addition, there are also very few stinging insects that have to eat plants with toxins when food is extremely scarce! "
[6. I understand now. Only the masochistic stingtail insects can evolve into armored cocoons!]
[If you don’t understand, just ask, what is the attribute of being a masochist? ]
Ye Yinchuan glanced at the barrage and continued to explain:
"The silk of the shield cocoon is of better quality and color than the silk of the carapace cocoon because it has gone through pain. Although it is thin, it is very strong.
When they begin to evolve, even if they are attacked, they will remain motionless. They will endure the pain and turn it into strength. Once they can no longer bear it and choose to escape, the strength of their evolution will be limited.
How should I put it? It’s probably because when they evolve, their bodies are undergoing adaptive evolution, and their will and spirit will also affect the final result of the evolution, so it’s best to have some setbacks and endure them. Only in this way can the evolved shield cocoon be the most powerful! ”
[Awesome, the evolved form of this shield cocoon will be very powerful, handsome, and beautiful! ]
[Thank you, host. I've learned a lot! I'm about the same age as you, but I learn new things from you every day. Have you been studying Pokémon since you were in your mother's womb? ]
Looking at the barrage, Ye Yinchuan had a subtle expression.
First of all, it’s hard to say how powerful the evolved form of Shield Cocoon is, but its appearance is definitely not acceptable to everyone.
Secondly, the following comment can be regarded as a compliment to myself... Unfortunately, even if I started studying Pokémon since I was in my mother's womb, I would never be able to catch up with my own knowledge and understanding of Pokémon!
At the same time, there are already comments asking what the Shield Cocoon will look like after it evolves.
After all, everyone is very familiar with the hunting swallowtail butterfly that evolved from the shell cocoon, but it is not an exaggeration to say that we know nothing about the shield cocoon. "Don't worry, someone just said that you should feed poison to your stingtail insects, so you must pay attention.
There are two main reasons. First, the stingtail worms cannot digest all toxins. Only a plant called the semi-poisonous lotus is suitable for them. Only by eating this plant can they evolve into armored cocoons. Otherwise, they may be poisoned to death.
The second is the final evolution of the scutum cocoon, which is quite different from the hunting swallowtail butterfly in form and even a bit heavy, which most people may not be able to appreciate. "
Just when Ye Yinchuan was about to briefly describe the evolved form of the shield cocoon.
The person connected suddenly whispered:
"Host, look, my Shield Cocoon seems to be starting to evolve! Should I ask my other Pokémon to give it some help?"
The person on the line said it in a very euphemistic way. To put it bluntly, what he meant was whether or not to give the Shield Cocoon a beating to increase the strength of its evolution.
"need."
Ye Yinchuan nodded.
"But there is a little detail you need to pay attention to. Keep your voice down for now. I tell you, although Bug-type Pokémon evolve quickly, it still takes some time, so there's no rush."
"Ah."
Although the caller had some doubts, she still did as she was told. She put her ear close to the phone and whispered:
"Anchor, please speak!"
[What is this game? ]
[Hehe, a cute girl is talking in my ear, it feels so good, the anchor knows how to have fun, I'm sorry in advance! ]
[My friend above, this is human nature and can be understood. ]
Ye Yinchuan ignored these naughty and even somewhat malicious comments and explained the reason for doing so:
"Although I mentioned before that the attacks it suffers during evolution will make it stronger. But it will remember the pain of being attacked very clearly, unforgettable. It will even remember the attacker's appearance...waiting to take revenge after evolving!"
"what?"
[I didn't expect there would be such a vengeful Pokémon? ]
[Being attacked while evolving is no less severe than being beaten while taking a shit! ]
[On the contrary, didn’t I mention before that this kind of stingtail insect has a tendency to be masochistic? I suspect it likes it... Anyway, listen to the host! ]
[If that's the case, is it possible that it felt good to be beaten, so it remembered the attacker in order to repay him after evolving? It was just misunderstood?]
Seeing the comments on the barrage, Ye Yinchuan felt as if he had opened the door to a new world. His expression was like that of a Kung Fu star, with an unshaven beard and dumbfounded:
"Are you really geniuses?"
But no matter what the purpose of the Shield Cocoon is, whether it is revenge or gratitude, most people cannot bear it, so they still have to follow Ye Yinchuan's method:
"Well, you can get a black cloth or a sack or something, put it on it, and then help it hard... It would be best if you can use the hunting swallowtail butterflies you raise to attack it in different ways at the same time... Put two layers on it, in case the bag breaks?"
[I laughed my ass off! So funny! ]
[Does the anchor have any side job? 】
[So, you spoke so quietly because you were afraid that Shield Cocoon would hear you and hold a grudge against you?]
The person connected thought about it seriously, nodded vigorously, and started to execute it.
When putting the sack on the shield cocoon, the caller also said a few words:
"Sixty-six cents. It will be a little dark and painful later. It's all normal. Take a deep breath..."
Seeing this, Ye Yinchuan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help asking:
"What does sixty-six cents mean?"
"Oh, nothing. I have a lot of stingtails, right? My goal is to raise 99 stingtails and then stop... I have numbered each stingtail. Look, there's a number plate with 66 on it on this armored cocoon."
"Well... then I have a very serious question."
"what?"
"Was your first stingray named Damao or Yimao?"
"Well, it's called head hair."
[Hahahaha! Oh my god, this is something I didn’t expect! ]
[I can't tell who is more humorous for a moment, it's too abstract! ]
What happened next was simple, nothing more than a set of sacks and then a little help for our shield cocoon!
There were at least a dozen swallowtail butterflies that the contact was hunting. If they were all released at once, it would be dazzling. So Ye Yinchuan asked her to release six of them.
"Six are enough. It's just a shield cocoon that hasn't evolved yet. How much force can it withstand?"
These hunting swallowtail butterflies used moves such as "Wind Rising", "Poison Needle", "Insect Bite" and "Collision" to smash towards the shield cocoon.
The shield cocoon seemed to cry out in pain, but it didn't move at all.
"Anchor, why is the shield cocoon smoking?"
The Linker is still very worried about his Pokémon.
"That's normal. That's because all the cells in its body are producing the energy needed for evolution, and the temperature inside is very high... Now the surface should be cracking, and the temperature inside is being transmitted out, which means that the evolution is almost complete."
Ye Yinchuan gave a brief explanation.
puff!
Along with a burst of evolving light and a tearing sound, the sack that was originally covered on the shield cocoon exploded into countless pieces!
And what flew out was a brand new Pokémon...
It is the evolved form of the armored cocoon - the poisonous powder moth!
Ye Yinchuan also made the name of this Pokémon public.
[Oh my god! This looks a bit scary! No wonder the host said it’s a bit heavy! ]
[Ugh! Its eyes are giving me a claustrophobia attack! ]
[This tentacles and legs look like maggots, plus this color... I'm sorry, I'm really not feeling well! ]
[No wonder this evolutionary path is so strange, it's simply a distorted product! ]
The comments on the forum were all shocked by the appearance of the venomous moth.
Ye Yinchuan was also admiring the posture of this Pokémon. Even though he was very tolerant of Pokémon's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw the look of the Poisonous Powdermoth...
As the barrage said, there are mainly three reasons why the toxic powder moth is unpopular.
One is that the eyes look like there are three holes, which can cause people to have trypophobia.
Another thing is that the antennae on its head and the legs on its body look a bit like maggots.
Another thing is that its color scheme gives people a bright and weird, very poisonous look... It is definitely not a very pleasing color scheme.
If Pokémon can be divided into good and bad characters, then this Poison Moth, just based on its appearance, makes people want to classify it as a villain...
The saying that appearance is justice still makes sense~
[Oh no, why is the young lady silent? Could she be frightened by the appearance of the venomous powder moth? ]
Seeing this barrage, Ye Yinchuan was a little worried. As a host, should he comfort the person or even provide psychological counseling?
"Little mealworm..."
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a cheer of surprise from the other side:
"Wow! Host, this is what Shieldbane looks like after it evolves? It's incredible! It's completely different from Hunting Butterfly! I love it so much!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan touched his nose in embarrassment.
It seems that my worries were unnecessary, as this girl has quite a unique taste.
[We're not sisters, I just want to ask, how did you come to like this kind of Pokémon? ]
The person connected responded to the barrage:
"I like little mealworms. No matter what they look like, they are still my little mealworms. Although the poisonous mealworm looks completely different from the hunting swallowtail butterfly, I also like the hunting swallowtail butterfly...
But, for me, owning a special toxic powder moth is also a very happy thing, how can I not like it? "
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but give a thumbs up, this is the best master.
No matter how a Pokémon evolves, you can always find its shining points and love it as always.
[Maybe, this is just like what everyone likes... I wish you happiness! ]
[What a nice girl, she wouldn't dislike a Pokémon just because of its appearance, love it! ]
[Let's talk about the Powderyngium. We know nothing about this Pokémon! ]
[Actually, it's not true. I wasn't sure at first, but I just took a closer look and found that this Pokémon once appeared in large numbers! It was a year of famine. I guess that was the situation the anchor said, food was scarce, and the stingtails could only eat poisonous plants... so there would be a large number of poisonous powder moths! ]
[Year of famine? Such an unfamiliar term...it must have happened hundreds of years ago, right?]
Watching the discussion on the barrage, Ye Yinchuan drank some water to moisten his throat.
Now that we have come to this, let’s talk about this poisonous powder moth!
