Chapter 372 The Flashy Ugly Fish is Caught! Streamer, let me test you!
Chapter 372 Shiny Feebas Captured! Hey streamer, let me test you: what three-headed Pokémon do you know?
"Could you tell me about the specific problems you encountered while trying to catch this ugly fish?"
Ye Yinchuan tried to gather more intelligence in order to prepare for his next move.
"This ugly fish is really weird. Every time we feel like we've caught it, but when we pull the net in, there's nothing there. It's all for nothing! We've also tried harpoons, but the result is pretty much the same."
Upon hearing Wang Duoyu's description, Ye Yinchuan was secretly moved; it was indeed similar to what he had thought.
This shimmering clownfish can create illusions that deceive the eye, making it virtually impossible to catch with the naked eye.
As for the principle, it should be a combination of three moves: "mirror reflection", "strange light" and "hypnosis". Ye Yinchuan speculated that the Flashing Uglyfish releases light with hypnotic energy, allowing witnesses to see their own illusions, while the real body is safely hidden.
So, the key question is whether this illusion of the shimmering ugly fish can even fool the camera.
If that doesn't work, simply observing its condition in the live stream will allow him to easily break the deadlock without much effort.
"Brother, what do you mean?"
Wang Duoyu rubbed his hands together like a fly, his face full of anticipation.
"Give it a try. I just saw that you guys should have those fish-specific Pokémon traps, right? Does it have a manual mode? Put it down, and then I'll tell you to turn it off, and you'll turn it off."
Ye Yinchuan responded.
The so-called trap cage is similar in structure and principle to a bird trap or mousetrap. Basically, food is placed inside to attract the target to eat it. When the target eats, a mechanism is triggered, or it is manually controlled, to close the cage and complete the capture.
There are two types of traps: manual and automatic. As the name suggests, one requires human control, while the other is a fully automatic trap.
Both have their advantages and disadvantages. The former is more flexible and has stronger subjective initiative, while the latter does not require much effort; you can simply place it and wait for the harvest.
Ye Yinchuan believed that this glittering ugly fish was so extraordinary that an automatic trap would definitely be ineffective.
"Yes, buddy, how did you know I bought the latest model? It can be both manual and automatic!"
Wang Duoyu quickly had someone bring up the equipment, then switched it to manual mode.
"We were using the automatic mode before, but it was really strange. The flashing pufferfish would clearly go inside, but the moment the cage was closed, it would disappear. We had no idea how it escaped. Was it too fast?"
[Flying Thunder God, it must be Flying Thunder God!]
【No, even if it's an ugly fish with a shimmering, multicolored appearance, is it really that mysterious?】
"Okay, I understand. Just do as I say from now on."
Ye Yinchuan observed the live broadcast. He wasn't 100% sure, but he still had to give it a try.
Soon, Wang Duoyu and the others, following Ye Yinchuan's suggestion, became interested.
In the live stream, the trap was lowered, and the glittering ugly fish, attracted by the aroma of the food, began to slowly approach.
Suddenly, it spat out a stream of water that hit the food in the trap. If it were in automatic mode, the mechanism should have been triggered, but since it was in manual mode and there was no instruction from Ye Yinchuan, they did not act rashly.
"Brother, the ugly fish is in the cage, aren't you going to do it?"
Wang Duoyu stared intently at the water, feeling his mouth dry. The priceless, shimmering, peculiar ugly fish was right there. If he succeeded, he could really live off it for half a year...
No, six months is an understatement; it's at least three years!
【…? Has Wang Duoyu gone mad? Wasn't that Ugly Fish still outside the cage? How did it get inside?】
[Humorous! No wonder we couldn't catch that shiny ugly fish. Is it a vision problem or an intelligence problem?]
I truly never expected it to be this abstract!
At this moment, Wang Duoyu was completely unaware of the comments. It was his underling who reminded him, and by paying attention to the comments, he naturally also noticed the live stream.
They looked completely bewildered, glancing at the live stream and then at the reality of the situation, finding it hard to believe.
"What... what's going on? Why is the footage we captured completely different from what we see?"
Wang Duoyu also realized what was happening, and scratched his head.
"This is bizarre, absolutely bizarre!"
Although the audience couldn't see the actual scene, they could vaguely sense it from the behavior of these people.
Is this for real or just a joke? The ugly fish wasn't even in the cage, so why do they think it is?
[It's probably a hallucination. There have been quite a few hallucinatory Pokémon appearing during streamers' streams, but this shiny Feebas isn't strong enough to cause hallucinations to travel through the internet and affect us!]
[Holy crap, the person upstairs is definitely a level 20 fan! Now that you mention it, it all makes sense!]
"That's right. The only way this ugly fish can protect itself is by creating illusions and deceiving your vision. You might think it's in a cage, but it's just an illusion, or something like a mirage. The real ugly fish is hidden beneath the illusion, able to move in or out as needed."
Seeing that the comments in the live chat revealed the secret, Ye Yinchuan seized the opportunity to explain everything.
[Wow! This Flashy Feebas's ability is too strong! The key is that Flashy Feebas isn't known for its illusions as its main ability... With such an illusion ability, plus its other strengths, wouldn't it be invincible?]
[Congratulations on encountering such an amazing Pokémon, and having a streamer help you catch it!]
The rest is quite simple.
Because by observing the live stream, the ability of the Flashing Ugly Fish was exposed, so seizing the opportunity to capture it would be easy, and Ye Yinchuan's help wouldn't even be necessary. However, out of respect, Wang Duoyu waited for Ye Yinchuan's instructions and completed the capture at the most opportune moment.
"They really caught them!"
The illusion dissipated, and looking at the shimmering ugly fish in the cage, Wang Duoyu was filled with disbelief. He finally understood why they had been unable to catch it before...
Because from the very beginning, they were fooled by the abilities of the shiny pufferfish, and what they caught was a mirage, a reflection in the water, so naturally they were futile!
Even after he came to his senses, Wang Duoyu still felt a strange sense of unreality. This shiny ugly fish was so easy to catch!
"Brother, you're truly my brother! If it weren't for you today, my brothers on this ship would have starved for the next few months! Now, we can even add two sausages to our instant noodles! We've gotten so rich, we've become so arrogant!"
Ye Yinchuan was amused by Wang Duoyu's words: "Revenge spending, huh? Take it easy, you guys. I've successfully caught the Flash Ugly Fish for you, now it's time for me to connect with another dreamer offline!"
Without giving Wang Duoyu a chance to continue his banter, Ye Yinchuan casually disconnected the line.
[Is this the Snorlax Finder? I helped someone catch a shiny Feebas, and that's it?]
If it were me, I'd be smug for ages!
@Wang Duoyu: [Brother Kabi, I'm a bit short on cash right now. I'll come to your livestream and give you gifts after I finish shipping out my orders!]
"It's nothing, it's all nothing."
Ye Yinchuan waved his hand, thus ending the topic, and then he looked for the next person to contact.
@YayYayYay: [Host, let me test you: Which Pokémon have three heads?]
Upon seeing this question, Ye Yinchuan's lips curled into a slight smile:
"Dodori counts as one, Exeggutor counts as one, and the others... does Dugtrio count? Hydreigon is out of the question because its two heads are fake. Whether the three bees and Magneton count as having three heads depends on your interpretation... feel free to add more in the comments."
I heard that beneath the Three Gophers is three gophers hugging each other!
[Hey, are the two heads next to the three-headed dragon fake?]
[Is the person upstairs a fake fan? Didn't the streamer say that during the live stream?]
[I've never seen an exeggutor before...]
@Yayayay: [You're right, but I think you might have overlooked some possibilities. Personally, I love collecting three-headed Pokémon, whether they're real or fake, as long as they have three heads, I like them... Hey streamer, would you be interested in connecting with me to have my Pokémon appraised?]
Seeing the comment posted by this person, Ye Yinchuan found it slightly amusing.
Because he couldn't immediately recall what three-headed Pokémon he had overlooked, and no one in the comments added to that list, his curiosity was piqued.
Judging from what this person is saying, he does have a three-headed Pokémon that he hasn't mentioned.
In addition, the fact that someone specifically collects Pokémon with three heads is indeed a rather interesting collecting tendency, and I believe it would be quite entertaining for a TV show.
"bring it on."
Ye Yinchuan decisively chose to connect.
[Connection successful!]
With the prompt, a person wearing a fake beard and a top hat appeared on the live stream, dressed like a gentleman, but with a comical air about him.
"Hello... Yay!"
Ye Yinchuan greeted him.
"Hello host, calling me by my full name is too formal. I actually prefer people to just call me Yeye."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan almost spat out his water. Was he trying to take advantage of the situation?
He can't handle this.
"Let's get some Pokémon, bro."
Ye Yinchuan got straight to the point, outlining the process of live-streaming treasure appraisal. He emphasized that his live-streaming content should focus on Pokémon as its core element.
He then asked:
"What is that three-headed Pokémon you mentioned, but I didn't?"
The person connecting the call adjusted his gentlemanly hat, a wide smile playing on his lips, and said mysteriously:
"There's only one truth... and that is, double-explosive gas!"
[Are you kidding me? A double-barreled gas canister only has two heads at most! Where did this three heads come from?]
[Oh, I get it. Didn't he say that even a fake head counts? And what about the double-bottle gas canister with its little ball without facial features?]
So, does that mean I have two heads and two arms?
[There's a little head down there, right? Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the double-shot gas...]
"Not far-fetched."
Ye Yinchuan had almost forgotten whether he had mentioned it to his viewers during the live stream, but regardless, there were bound to be new viewers, so mentioning it again wouldn't hurt.
"As we all know, double-boiled gas is twins, or two-headed. But in fact, in extremely rare cases, double-boiled gas can develop into triplets. Although it is rare, it does happen... Therefore, it is not far-fetched for him to say that double-boiled gas has three heads. His double-boiled gas is very likely to be such an extremely rare special individual."
"That's right. As expected of a streamer, you're very knowledgeable. It seems you understand."
The person on the other end of the line gave it a thumbs up.
But Ye Yinchuan always felt that this person was there to challenge the establishment, or perhaps he was just showing off.
"Come out, three gas cylinders!"
With the call of the liaison, a Weezing was sent out of the Poké Ball. As Ye Yinchuan said, this Weezing was a special triplet, with one large and one small head, and another very small head.
Ye Yinchuan admired it.
He was very familiar with Pokémon like Weezing.
Wow, there really is a triple-headed double-shot gas canister!
[That's interesting, this kid managed to pull it off, but it was just a momentary lapse in attention from the streamer, he forgot!]
"Come on, let me show you! I'll show you my treasured Pokémon collection, all of them three-headed! Triangles bring stability, and only three-headed Pokémon are truly elegant!"
Hearing the cryptic remarks from the person on the other end of the line, Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated. However, some characters in the original Pokémon series, even those who are just passersby, are a bit eccentric, and in this real-world Pokémon world, there are naturally no shortage of extraordinary individuals as well.
As Ye Yinchuan watched as one Pokémon after another was dispatched, he couldn't help but nod. Of the three-headed Pokémon mentioned earlier, apart from Hydreigon, whose strength and brutality were somewhat terrifying and could be called a disaster Pokémon, they were all there. It was a complete collection.
[Wow, this person genuinely loves three-headed Pokémon, not just someone who's superficially interested but actually dislikes them!]
[But why isn't there a Hydreigon? Is it because you don't like it? The streamer does have a Two-Headed Tyrannosaurus Rex!]
Seeing the comments, Ye Yinchuan laughed. These netizens were really sarcastic. Could an ordinary person handle the three-headed dragon? Even if the League's top players came, they couldn't be said to be able to completely tame it, could they?
Being able to raise a two-headed Tyrannosaurus Rex or a one-headed Tyrannosaurus Rex is already quite remarkable.
The person connected also saw the "mocking" comments in the live stream, and couldn't help but blush slightly:
"If I ever encounter a Hydreigon, I guarantee I can catch it. When it comes to understanding three-headed Pokémon, even the streamer might not be as knowledgeable as me!"
Wow, I haven't heard such an arrogant statement in a long time...
[This is hilarious! If you encountered a Hydreigon, you probably wouldn't even dare to move, right? And your understanding of Pokémon is nowhere near as good as the streamer's!]
Ye Yinchuan quickly called a halt to the argument between the commenters and the live streamers:
"What's there to compare? There's a sequence to learning, and everyone has their own expertise... Let's put everything else aside and zoom in a bit so we can really appreciate you, Exeggutor."
Among the Pokémon of this person on the live stream was an Exeggutor, a Pokémon that Ye Yinchuan had never encountered before. It has the Psychic attribute and is not particularly rare, but it can usually only be found in specific areas, and people don't know much about it.
"Hey streamer, the comments say my Pokémon knowledge isn't as good as yours. So let's have a contest to see how well we know Exeggutor, shall we?"
Ye Yinchuan slowly typed out a question mark.
These comments are just trying to stir up trouble and draw hatred. What does this have to do with me? Are you serious?
The key point is that when it comes to comparing Pokémon knowledge, Ye Yinchuan wasn't being arrogant; he genuinely felt that the other party was throwing a stone against a stone, trying to extort money...
