Chapter 356: About Gigantamax and Crystallization! Crystal Bud evolves into Crystal Flower! A Crysta
Chapter 356: About Gigantamax and Crystallization! Crystal Bud evolves into Crystal Flower! A Crystallization Pokémon appears!
Ye Yinchuan still has some special ideas about the Crystal Bud and its evolved form, the Crystal Flower, but he is unable to explain them in detail to the audience for the time being.
That is about the crystallization of Pokémon. In the national encyclopedia of Crystal Flower, it is clearly mentioned that the petals of Crystal Flower are crystallized from its toxic energy, and its material and structure are similar to those of Crystal Gem.
The so-called Taijing gem is also called "Taijing" or "crystal".
There are actually two concepts of this term.
One refers to the original Taijing ore, which is a crystal that is underground or emerges from the ground and contains a special energy.
The special energy mentioned here naturally refers to the Taicrystal energy. As the name suggests, it is a kind of energy that can crystallize Pokémon.
Taicrystallization is similar to Gigantamaxing, which can cause the form and state of Pokémon to undergo significant changes in a short period of time, and generally gain more powerful power.
In the concept of Pokémon before the time travel, it is a means to enhance the fighting strength of Pokémon. In the game, it can be understood as a special mechanism.
Gigantamaxing can be roughly understood as making the Pokémon's body larger.
However, in the official setting, Gigantamaxing is the release of special energy from the Pokémon's body, distorting the surrounding space and making the Pokémon appear to be far larger than its actual size.
It is also mentioned that according to the research of Dr. Mulan, when the Pokémon is Gigantamaxed, the Pokémon itself does not become larger, but it can actually be touched...
This setting is a bit abstract, but as long as you understand that Pokémon uses special powers to distort space and create something similar to "Dharma", it will be clearer.
That is, the Pokémon's body has not become bigger, but its transformed form is a Dharmakāya that can affect the material world. Its Dharmakāya distorts the space through special energy, making it appear larger visually. The body can also interact and influence other substances through the Dharmakāya!
Speaking of Gigantamax, what Ye Yinchuan currently thinks of is the giant Dragonite, also known as Lighthouse Dragonite.
But if you examine it carefully, combined with some information about the super ancient Dragonite that I got through my treasure appraising skills, I can basically infer that the huge size of that Dragonite is real, and there is still a certain difference from the concept of Gigantamax.
After all, the information written in the panel characteristics said that the super ancient Dragonite grew to such a large size because of its immortality, which conflicts with the concept of Gigantamaxing.
And it was precisely because of this that Ye Yinchuan had bolder ideas.
If that giant Dragonite really has nothing to do with Dynamax, and it has grown so big just by relying on its lifespan, then theoretically, does it still have a chance to Dynamax on this basis? In that case, the size it displays will be so exaggerated that it is unbelievable. We have to think twice about the coming of the giant!
For a moment, Ye Yinchuan's thoughts drifted too far away.
But there is nothing we can do about it. After all, Mega Evolution, Gigantamax, and Megacrystalization are some very interesting combat systems introduced in the Pokémon games, and they are also shown in the anime. As a Pokémon fan, how could I not be interested in these things?
Let’s get back to the second concept of Taijing gemstone.
That is, after a Pokémon becomes crystallized, its entire body seems to be crystallized, and the surface of its body is like a cut gem, shining with brilliant light.
A gem crystal like a crown will appear on the top of the head, which is the Taijing gem.
There are actually many details that can be expanded upon about Gigantamax and Crystallization, but Ye Yinchuan does not have any cases on hand, so it is not convenient to convey this information to the audience for the time being.
In this world, Gigantamax and Megacrystallization are both undiscovered means of increasing the combat power of Pokémon.
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan put aside the thoughts in his mind that had not yet been settled and chose to focus on the present.
The crystal bud in front of you, which is blooming with the light of evolution, has completed its evolution. Its form has become more mature and perfect, and it has officially become a crystal flower.
[Wow, how come this Crystal Light Bud has become like this after evolving? It looks like a beef tendon with horns! ]
[This shape looks so strange. Before evolution, it looked like a flower. After evolution, it doesn't even look like a flower, right? ]
Ye Yinchuan is used to the complaints in the barrage. It is obvious that the audience knows too little about this kind of Pokémon.
"After the Crystal Light Bud evolves, it is called the Crystal Light Flower. Don't be fooled by its current appearance. It doesn't look like a flower at all. That's because it hasn't unfolded yet...
However, you must remember one thing: when the Crystal Flower truly unfolds and blooms, it is actually not a good thing for the adventurers who encounter it...
Because the Crystal Light Flower will only unfold its crystallized petals when it encounters danger, and then..."
【What happens next? 】
[Host, please don't speak like those novelists who speak out of context! ]
Ye Yinchuan didn't mean to keep the audience in suspense, but the situation before him attracted his attention and made it impossible for him to continue talking distractedly.
The appearance of the crystal flower, as the audience said, is like a plump beef tendon, or an ellipsoid with striped texture, and its head, or two pairs of eyes, like the crystal bud, is covered by a transparent pointed cone, like a protective cover.
In fact, those striped textures, or the plump things like tendons, are the crystal petals of the crystal flower that are gathered together.
At this time, when the petals gradually unfold, they can be seen very clearly.
"Prepare to defend!"
Ye Yinchuan was not sure whether Crystal Flower was still in a state of stress after the damage caused by the aftermath of the battle between Metagross and Dachao Beibi, and it was very likely that she would mistake herself for an enemy...
Especially myself, there is some Dachao Beibi scent on me!
I saw that the conical head of the crystal flower began to be filled with poisonous energy and light. Ye Yinchuan felt something was wrong. This was obviously a sign of an attack.
The requirement for Crystal Bud to evolve into Crystal Flower in the game is level 35, but this Crystal Flower is at level 37 and has an egg move called "Mud Wave", which is obviously its trump card!
Although Ye Yinchuan's Pokémon are very powerful, at least enough to deal with the Crystal Flower in front of them, the opponent's move is a poison-attribute move. The Mud Wave is equivalent to a poison-attribute light skill, which can poison the target and surrounding enemies. In such a relatively small cave space, it is almost unavoidable and can pose a huge threat!
However, just as the crystal flower aimed at Ye Yinchuan and his group, gathering strength to launch an attack, the crystal buds around it all made noises, protecting Ye Yinchuan and his group and telling the crystal flower that they were not enemies.
Seeing that the energy of Crystal Flower had subsided and it was looking at him with a scrutinizing look and its hostility gradually subsided, Ye Yinchuan also calmed down a little and signaled to the Pokémon not to act rashly.
"See? I've been doing good deeds all my life, and the Pokémon will thank me."
Ye Yinchuan made a side-pointing gesture like a certain Kung Fu star and smiled brightly at the camera.
"The attack posture of the Crystal Flower is like this. They will shoot deadly beams of light from their cone-shaped heads, or you can also think of it as their bodies...
Crystal Flowers can master rock and poison-type moves, and are very good at ray-type moves. Their blooming posture is still very beautiful. "
Ye Yinchuan looked at the crystal flower. It looked much more beautiful after its petals were spread out than when they were closed.
It looks like a large blue-purple flower with layered petals. It is very beautiful, especially Ye Yinchuan can appreciate it very much.
One thing that needs to be explained here is that after evolving, Crystal Flower can float and no longer need to be rooted on the rock wall. This is a good thing for Crystal Flower itself and its trainer. Obviously, the evolution of Pokémon has a common feature, which is that it will increase the ability to move and the range of movement.
The most typical examples are some water-type Pokémon, which can only live in water before evolving. After evolving, they have the opportunity to move on land. Smelly and Milotic are vivid examples around us.
After communicating with the crystal buds, the crystal flower slowly flew in front of Ye Yinchuan and his party. The sound it made was much weaker, which meant that it didn't understand the situation and was too loud.
Ye Yinchuan didn't blame it. This Crystal Flower must have been in a relatively deep place, or it might have been immersed in evolution, so it didn't notice him. He asked the Pokémon to rescue the Crystal Buds.
You can see that Jingguanghua is very sorry.
Through the voice of Jingguanghua, Ye Yinchuan could probably hear:
"Are you planning to give me something as a token of your gratitude and apology for saving your companions?"
He said it directly to make it easier for the audience to understand. He was actually very sure that this was what Crystal Flower meant.
[No, you understood it again? ]
[Why is the anchor making friends with wild Pokémon everywhere? It's like he's on a quest! ]
[Please help me capture a Crystal Light Bud. I want to give it to my homeroom teacher! ]
Looking at the last barrage, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but laugh. What a huge hatred this is. He wants to poison the head teacher, right?
"Young man, your idea is very dangerous! Pokémon like Crystal Bud cannot be controlled by ordinary people, so let the anchor do it!"
[I have never seen such a shameless person! ]
[Anchor, you… take whatever you see? You weren’t like this before! ]
Ye Yinchuan just chuckled:
"The tourist park is about to open for trial operation. How can we not stock up on goods?"
[Okay, okay, other people open tourist parks by acquiring Pokémon, but you capture all of them yourself, right? ]
[Forget about your lousy tourist park, unless you give me tickets and cover the transportation fee. In that case, even if you let me go out and pick up a shiny, heterochromatic egg with an iron dumbbell, I will do it! ]
[You kid, you don't want to suffer a little loss? ]
Looking at the jokes in the barrage, Ye Yinchuan shook his head helplessly. He was not in a hurry to capture a crystal bud. After all, the crystal flower wanted to give him something, so he would capture it first.
I saw Crystal Flower leading me deeper into the cave.
[Wait a minute, doesn't anyone find it strange? Before the Crystal Flower evolved, it should have grown on the wall. Can it grow legs and run to collect resources? If not, then it uses its head to give things to the host? ]
[Is the anchor just dreaming? 】
Ye Yinchuan coughed twice, then explained:
"The unevolved form of Crystal Flower, Crystal Bud, usually takes root on the rock wall to absorb nutrients, but they can actually move slowly. After all, they are not real plants, but Pokémon...
As long as there is a rock wall, moving is not a problem. Even if there is no rock wall, you can move around for a while, and even root yourself in the soil like a gopher...
But if it cannot absorb nutrients for too long, it will be at risk of withering and becoming fragile, and its movements will also be restricted, and it will never be as free as the Crystal Flower."
[So that's how it is. I thought I couldn't move! ]
[Actually, if you look closely just now, you will find that some crystal buds have fallen off, but they can still wriggle like worms. ]
The audience was amazed.
Ye Yinchuan followed the crystal flower forward while observing the crystal buds around it to see if there were any individuals worth conquering.
But unfortunately, after looking around, I didn’t find anything I particularly liked.
Following the Crystal Flower around in twists and turns, Ye Yinchuan was a little unsure where the Crystal Flower was going to take him...
"It's so deep, will we be unable to find it later?"
Even, under the guidance of Crystal Flower, Ye Yinchuan discovered some entrances leading to underground caves. The caves already had complex terrain, and they went down layer by layer. The more Ye Yinchuan thought about it, the more afraid he was of getting lost, so he quickly asked his Pokémon to make some marks.
[This cave is incredible. It looks so small from the outside, but I didn’t expect it to be so hidden inside! ]
[Indeed, without this crystal flower leading the way, who would have thought that,]
When the Crystal Flower stopped moving, Ye Yinchuan looked deep into the cave with the light of the Sun Rock...
It didn't matter when I looked at it. There was a mole blocking the way, and the appearance of this mole was unusual...
[What the hell, what's up with the Sandshrew? I've seen mutated ones, but not one this mutated! What is this? A Gem Sandshrew? ]
[It's so gorgeous, it's almost blinding my eyes, host, there's no reason not to accept it, right? I'm so greedy! ]
[If it wasn’t a live broadcast, I would have thought it was a special effect! ]
[This should be a dominant sandrat! Otherwise, why would it have a crown on its head? This posture is so cool! ]
Seeing the excitement on the screen, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but feel a little impatient...
He knew this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so soon...
Because the sandmouse in front of me...
It is actually the crystallized form!
(I can't find a picture of Taijing Sandshrew, so I can only use this as a substitute~)
