Chapter 469 The Potential of Bellsprout and Victreebel! Grass-type Pokémon
Chapter 469 The Potential of Bellsprout and Victreebel! The Upper Limit of Grass-type Pokémon, Could it be... a Thousand-Armed Buddha?!
Ye Yinchuan nodded:
"I'm always honest and trustworthy, and my reputation is verifiable. If you really don't believe me, I suggest you send me a top-tier Bellsprout. I'll personally raise a powerful Victreebel and show you... Don't underestimate the potential of Grass-type Pokémon!"
[Hey streamer, your abacus beads are practically bouncing onto my face!]
[Stop kidding, it's just a trumpet bud. If you want a top-quality one, you can just buy it without thinking.]
[The credibility score is indeed verifiable. Having streamed for so long and enjoyed such a large following, the fact that there's a zero-mishap record is unprecedented!]
Ye Yinchuan continued his explanation, since new viewers came to his live stream every day, and Pokémon knowledge like this was something the public enjoyed.
"I don't need to describe the appearance of the 'Dumb Flower,' right? You're all quite familiar with it. If you really don't remember, or if you have a seven-second memory, go search it up yourself."
As they were talking, a kind viewer sent a picture of the mouth-shaped flower to the live stream. Ye Yinchuan nodded, which saved him some trouble and made his explanation much easier.
"Did you see the vine on the head of the 'Dumbbell' flower? That little tuft is its tail hook. Usually, the 'Dumbbell' flower hangs on the tree to sleep at night, but some of them fall down because they sleep in bad positions..."
[It's strangely adorable; if she sleeps in a bad position, she'll fall off by herself, haha!]
No wonder it's called the "dumb-mouthed flower," it really is dumb!
"Let me explain the hunting patterns of wild Bellsprout. First of all, if a small insect or a Bug Pokémon appears near Bellsprout, it may be swallowed whole..."
[Um...is it a convergent evolution with Fang Cage? They're both carnivorous Pokémon, so if they're hanging in trees, they can probably disguise themselves as plants or fruits, and they even prey on insect Pokémon...]
Is no one speaking up for Bug-type Pokémon?
"But for larger prey, we'll first spray out a poisonous powder to incapacitate the enemy, then finish them off with a dissolving liquid... You've heard of the Bone-Melting Palm, right? What about Corpse-Dissolving Water? It's something like that!"
[So here's the question: if the dissolving liquid is so powerful, as the streamer claims, capable of dissolving everything, why not just use the dissolving liquid directly? Spraying on some poison powder seems redundant.]
"Good question!"
Ye Yinchuan responded to this comment.
"As I said, theoretically, the dissolving liquid of the Diablos can dissolve everything... But is it possible that a weaker Diablos has this potential but hasn't reached it yet? The key is, the dissolving speed isn't what you imagine—instant dissolution? But rather slow corrosion?"
[You yourself mentioned the Bone-Melting Palm technique. That Bone-Melting Palm technique, isn't it just a snap, and instantly you're reduced to a pool of blood and flesh!]
"So, it seems I was being careless?"
Ye Yinchuan smiled faintly and said, "Alright, in short, a powerful Bellsprout really does have a chance to achieve that. Just think about it, a powerful Fire-type Pokémon can burn down an entire village with a single fire, so what about a powerful Grass-type Pokémon? The potential of Pokémon is astonishing."
[A powerful Grass-type Pokémon? Could it possibly be capable of forming a thousand-armed Buddha?]
Upon seeing this comment, Ye Yinchuan almost spat out his water. It seemed like he had seen a similar Pokémon fanfiction where Pokémon unleashed effects similar to powerful ninjutsu from Naruto...
You know what, there's actually a lot to say about it, and it's quite feasible.
"By the way... Burrowstrike can secrete a liquid that renders dissolving liquid ineffective. Not only are they immune to the dissolving liquid themselves, but they can also effectively counter opponents who can use similar dissolving liquids. In addition, skilled trainers can enable Burrowstrike to spray this liquid to detoxify and repair wounds."
Is this even possible?
Wow, my awesome mouth-shaped flower!
"Well, Bellsprout is not only a Grass-type Pokémon, but also a Poison-type Pokémon. Some people might think it's purely Grass-type, right? Of course, not all Bellsprouts are Breaking Bad Pokémon; after all, they can also master Grass-type skills."
[Oh dear, streamer, I almost forgot that the Bellatrix is also a poison-type!]
Uh...Isn't Bellsprout just a Grass/Poison Pokémon?
Grass-type Pokémon are all somewhat poisonous, and I don't even know how they're classified. As an amateur trainer, I'm completely clueless!
Ye Yinchuan no longer wanted to explain the issue of attributes; he simply continued to break it down further:
"The Bellsprout, which is proficient in Grass-type skills, can launch sharp leaves at will, which is the familiar Razor Leaf. In short, it is a similar move that can instantly cut up prey larger than itself. If you are unlucky enough to encounter it in the wild and have no power to resist, you can only become its food."
[You make it sound so easy, but just imagining it, how can it be so terrifying?]
You mean, this thing called the "mouth-shaped flower" can shoot out sharp blades and slice people to pieces?
Okay, okay, the danger is far greater than it appears!
"I wasn't talking about humans, just its hunting behavior. Of course, in some lower-level wild areas now, the environment is relatively peaceful, so even if there's a Bellossom, it's either been cleared out or it's not much of a threat. As for higher-level wild areas, there are many more Pokémon that are more dangerous than Bellossom."
"As for the artificially cultivated 'dumb-mouthed flower,' it really is dumb. But genes are a strange thing. They can lie dormant when not needed, but can be activated again under certain conditions... You know what I mean?"
[I understand, you mean the Silent Flower has great combat potential and is definitely worth training and developing!]
Ye Yinchuan nodded. There were many clever people who frequently watched his live streams, and they could totally act as his mouth doubles.
Grass-type Pokémon are low-cost to train and grow faster than Bug-type Pokémon, but crucially, their potential is often higher than Bug-type Pokémon, especially carnivorous plant-type Pokémon...
"Alright, that's enough about Bellossom. Now that you have a basic understanding of Bellossom, it will be easier for you to recognize other Pokémon like Victreebel."
It's finally here!
【expect! 】
"The ferocity of the giant carnivore is no less than that of the fanged cage bird, and they share many similarities. Let me start by mentioning that the giant carnivore can also secrete a honey-like fragrance to attract prey to its vicinity."
【Oh dear, why do all these Grass-type Pokémon like to pull this stunt? A sweet trap, huh?】
So, does this mean the Connector now has two carnivorous plant-based Pokémon?
[So cunning! It can disguise itself and set traps; this Grass-type Pokémon is truly Grass-type!]
"Hmm... the vines on the head of the carnivorous plant are also its organs for luring prey. They can move around and mimic living creatures. Once the prey is attracted, it's doomed."
...The solution from a Victoire is often more potent than that from a Bellossom, since those capable of evolving are not ordinary members of their species...
Carnivorous hawks typically swallow their prey whole and then begin to digest it. In the mouth of an adult carnivore, most prey will be completely digested, leaving not even bones, in less than a day...
If it's a powerful Victoirex, like the Bulbouse, it can melt everything, no matter how hard it is!
[The streamer is just bragging. If Big Eater is that good, he'd already be shining in the professional scene!]
Is it possible that while Victreebel's sap is powerful, in actual battles other Pokémon are also very strong, perhaps even more overpowered?
So what if it melts in less than a day? You can withstand a jet of flame before you talk!
Seeing the discussion in the live chat, Ye Yinchuan coughed twice, feeling rather embarrassed.
Like many games, Pokémon has evolved with each new version, and the early Pokémon designs and Pokédex descriptions were often quite rough. They were either portrayed as weak or exaggeratedly powerful but actually not that great...
To put it more vividly, it's like some Pokémon from the first generation, compared to later Pokémon, are like cavemen!
"Victoire's base stat total is around 500. As a plant-type Pokémon, it doesn't have many defensive options and excels more in offense. It can master both Grass-type Leaf Storm and Poison-type Sludge Wave, which are quite powerful moves... If Bellsprout is a bit lacking for professional play, then Victoire is definitely qualified to stand on the professional stage!"
[The End. In just a few words, the host has predicted that morning glory buds will go up in price again!]
[Leaf Stones are already expensive, and now they've discovered a powerful use for them... sigh, they're even more unaffordable!]
Grass-type trainers are overjoyed... another Pokémon to choose from! However, it requires a Leaf Stone to evolve, which increases the final cost!
Have you ever heard the saying... "Stone is power!"
Looking at the last comment, Ye Yinchuan was thoroughly amused. In the world of Pokémon, could this line be modified like this?
"Let me add another little-known fact: the sweetness of the liquid secreted by the giant carnivore is not only positively correlated with its own strength, but it also becomes sweeter in the short term after digesting a large amount of food, making it more attractive to prey..."
"This leads to two possibilities for carnivorous plants in the wild: one is to cultivate a king of carnivorous plants, that is, a dominant carnivorous plant, since the more food there is, the more food it can attract, and the supply is very sufficient!"
Another approach is to cultivate a colony of carnivorous plants. This is easy to understand: a single carnivorous plant can attract prey, and a large number of carnivorous plants can attract even more prey...
Initially, other carnivorous plants were likely drawn to the area because a particular carnivore was very good at attracting prey, and gradually, they formed a colony...
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan paused slightly.
"But regardless of the method, there are rather stringent conditions, namely, the food supply must be plentiful. After all, no matter how attractive it is to prey, it won't work if there are no prey to be found."
[So, host, what are some things to keep in mind when raising a giant carnivore?]
"There are two main points. One is that Victreebel can become a glutton, which increases the cost of raising it. If it's a Victreebel with a bad temperament and you don't feed it enough, then the result... can be very dangerous!"
"Secondly, Victoires have a habit of biting, either to express affection or anger. If trained well, they can be controlled and won't harm their trainers or others. But if not trained well, it can be very troublesome."
To put it bluntly, if they're not fed enough, they might get eaten, right?
I've heard of cases where owners suddenly die at home, and as a result, their Pokémon have nothing to eat and just...
[Upstairs, what kind of stupid and savage Pokémon would do something like that? A smart one would probably run to get help as soon as its owner fainted!]
It seems that many Pokémon have some innate bad habits.
It's not exactly a bad habit; it's more like retaining some primal instincts while integrating into human society.
"Alright, that concludes the explanations for the Buzzard Flower and the Carnivorous Flower..."
After Ye Yinchuan finished speaking, he also helped the person on the other end of the line to identify some details, such as the characteristics and personality of this giant carnivore, etc.
"Thank you so much, host! Today has been the happiest day I've had in a while!"
After the person on the other end of the call realized what had happened, he was beaming with joy.
Acquiring two powerful Grass-type Pokémon at once is something a trainer who loves Grass-type Pokémon would be absolutely thrilled about!
【Congratulations! (Teacher He stares wide-eyed.jpg)】
[As long as you're happy, we're happy for you too! (gritting teeth.jpg)]
Seeing the reactions in the live chat, Ye Yinchuan smiled indulgently.
I interact with these netizens and fans every day. After getting to know them, they are like friends or even family. No wonder I often use the phrase "family members" in my live streams.
"Alright, that concludes today's live broadcast."
Ye Yinchuan ended the video call and did not intend to start a new one.
【What?! It's still early, the streamer's getting cocky, he should leave early!】
[Bro, please, just stream a little longer! I feel restless if I don't watch your stream!]
"Wait... you guys want to keep watching the live stream? I thought you'd want to see me explore Aggron and Sableye's Mega Evolution?"
Oh, it's not ending the broadcast?
[It seems like this topic was mentioned before...]
[Dude, with all this talk of crystallization and Mega Evolution, can't you leave some room for the other trainers?]
[Don't listen to the nonsense upstairs. The streamer is a pioneer and explorer... The future popularization of Pokémon knowledge, Pokémon evolution, and various improvements will all depend on the streamer's guidance!]
Seeing the audience's reaction, Ye Yinchuan knew what was going on.
At this moment, he was heading towards the familiar jungle area, the Brilliant Cave, with Aggron and Sableye, the main characters of the day, accompanying him.
[Sableye's Mega Evolution is just so-so, I guess. Probably similar to the Mega Sableye below. I'm more looking forward to Aggron's Mega Evolution!]
[While Aggron isn't a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, it does have the air of a late bloomer. And this Aggron the streamer has is a Dragon-type Taiki; if it could Mega Evolve… could it transform into a giant steel dragon?]
The audience erupted in heated discussion about the Mega Evolution of the two Pokémon.
Ye Yinchuan actually had a hidden plan for Diancie's super evolution, including the collaboration between Diancie and Sableye, but it was not yet time to reveal it.
"It seems the audience is more enthusiastic about Aggron's Mega Evolution, so let's do Aggron first today!"
Ye Yinchuan didn't really care, because he would have to arrange his Pokémon sooner or later, but considering the show's effect, there were many things to consider!
