Chapter 347 A Flying Demon from Outer Space? A Brutal and Powerful Top Predator: The Metagross's Unknown Hunting Mode!
Ye Yinchuan looked at the silhouette in front of him, and his first reaction was surprise, because the appearance of such a thing in this environment was truly a strange thing.
It's not a pile, nor is it on the roadside; it's in the middle of the road, all alone. It can resemble other things, but it can't happen to look somewhat like a person...
The unknown thing, plus something that looks somewhat like a human but is clearly not human, triggers the uncanny valley effect to its fullest extent!
What is this? A rock, or some kind of Pokémon?
[It seems the streamer has encountered something dirty!]
Have you heard of Attack on Titan?
The comments section was buzzing with discussion, and Ye Yinchuan activated his discerning eye. The moment the panel popped up, Ye Yinchuan understood.
No matter what the comments say, no matter what kind of monsters or demons they are, as long as the panel pops up, then it is a Pokémon!
"This Pokémon... is a bit niche."
As someone who was a fan of anime before his transmigration, Ye Yinchuan, whose childhood was limited and who could only watch episodes here and there, obviously couldn't be familiar with all the Pokémon he knew, as they weren't particularly appealing and even a bit strange.
Fortunately, with the Eye of Insight and the Pokédex, even though Ye Yinchuan himself didn't know much about this Pokémon, he was able to grasp all its information instantly.

[Evolutionary Path: North-facing Nose - Large North-facing Nose]
That's right, the Pokémon in front of us is Nosebridge, a Pokémon with a rather unique design and an abstract name among many Pokémon.
The dense fog made the already abstract Nosepass even more abstract, which is why Ye Yinchuan couldn't recognize it at all. Otherwise, he would have been able to tell that it was some Pokémon he couldn't remember.
Since it was a familiar area, Ye Yinchuan immediately relaxed. It's just facing the north, what's there to be afraid of?
However, the condition of the north-facing nose panel also made Ye Yinchuan wary.
A level 33 wild Nosepass is definitely not a gentle and harmless Pokémon, especially considering its condition: tired and lonely, which are negative states that may make Pokémon irritable and aggressive.
Furthermore, even if there is no danger facing north, there may be other dangers and emergencies in the dense fog ahead, so it is still necessary to remain vigilant.
As Ye Yinchuan continued forward, the live chat erupted in a flurry of activity—
[Host, why aren't you afraid?]
[For the sake of the show's effect, it's not really necessary to get so close!]
What do you know? This is the composure of an old artist!
[I bet the streamer already knows what this is; it's most likely a Pokémon!]
"That's right, this is Pokémon."
Ye Yinchuan steadily approached, interacting with the audience as he did so.
"It's a relatively rare Pokémon, usually appearing in groups, but this one is all alone, which makes it quite special."
[It really is a Pokémon? Then I'm not worried. There's no Pokémon thing that a streamer can't handle!]
[Haha, the live stream is full of laughter again!]
Are you guys upstairs trying to make me laugh? But it seems like the streamer has never really messed up?
So what Pokémon is it? Stop messing around and let the streamer ramble on!
"Nosebridge, this Pokémon is called Nosebridge. It's a Rock-type Pokémon, and its nose always points north, so it can be considered a natural compass... oh no, a compass!"
Ye Yinchuan didn't keep them in suspense and revealed the basic information about this north-facing nose.
[Baby? Baby? Are you serious, streamer? There are Pokémon like this?]
Is it because it always faces north and has a large nose that it's called a "north-facing nose"?
[I was wondering why it looked like a rock! A Rock-type Pokémon is just right!]
Ye Yinchuan had already approached the north-facing nose. Anyone who has experienced fog knows that there is visibility. Although the surrounding fog was so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, you could still see things more clearly once you got closer, especially after you got used to the visibility in the thick fog.
As for Ye Yinchuan, who possesses a discerning eye and exceptional eyesight, Chao Beibi's appearance was already clearly visible to him.
From a distance, the North-facing Nose might look like a stone statue, and up close it does indeed look like that. However, you'll find that the North-facing Nose also has short, thick limbs, no mouth, and its entire body and face are all fused together. It has a pointed head and a wide bottom, and when viewed together, it feels like the North-facing Nose's body is also a big nose.
It is entirely blue, with a red nose, and a hole in the center of each of its palms and feet.
"Did you see that clearly? This is the North-Facing Nose. It doesn't just have a big nose; its entire body looks like a nose. Don't you think the holes on its hands and feet also look like nostrils?"
[Haha, this is hilarious! I feel like if the streamer doesn't include me, I'll never see this kind of Pokémon in my life!]
[666, who invented this north-facing nose? This little gadget is so interesting...]
[Short and stocky, not exactly cute, but I feel so reassured having one as a pet...]
[Are you serious, upstairs? Keeping one like that at home, won't it be scary at night?]
[Hey host, tell me about this. What's going on with these north-facing noses? I did some research, and it seems they do appear in groups, and usually in colder regions. Your place isn't exactly cold, is it?]
Ye Yinchuan observed Chaobeibi and saw that although Chaobeibi was facing north, its body was moving extremely slowly towards the south. The speed was like a snail crawling, and it was not walking on its feet, but rather moving horizontally.
"This north-facing nose... must have come from somewhere else, not be a native of the Crystal Forest!"
Ye Yinchuan immediately made some judgments.
[Answerer, how do you know?]
[Here it comes! The host's classic offhand remark!]
Ye Yinchuan observed and confirmed that Chao Beibi was in a dormant state, recovering its energy and strength, and was not very aggressive. He moved closer and used his camera to take pictures of some details on Chao Beibi's body.
"As some viewers have already mentioned, north-facing noses generally live in cold places, and this one is clearly alone, which makes sense..."
That's it? What evidence do you have?
Ye Yinchuan knew that the audience wasn't so easily fooled, and before he could finish speaking...
"Look closely, this North-facing nose has this light blue, frost-like moss on its body. This is called ice field moss, which only appears in ice fields... And the ice field moss on this North-facing nose is clearly in a dormant state, which means that it was brought here from the ice field by the North-facing nose."
Wow, is the streamer this detailed?
I looked it up, and it's true! The streamer has a really wide range of knowledge!
Ye Yinchuan previously lacked knowledge about many things other than Pokémon, such as materials, ores, and vegetation, which caused him to feel somewhat awkward during his live streams. Therefore, he spent his spare time doing some intensive study to improve his knowledge.
As the saying goes, one is never too old to learn.
Ye Yinchuan firmly believes that people cannot earn money or achieve success beyond their understanding.
With his unique skills, he has already reached the top of the pyramid in his industry, but he is not satisfied and tries to achieve even greater success through his own efforts.
"If I'm not mistaken, this North-facing nose once suffered a catastrophe that threatened the entire species, and it was a survivor of that disaster."
When Ye Yinchuan said these words, the comments section erupted in uproar once again.
[Dude, you even brought up a backstory? While it might be entertaining for the livestream, isn't it a bit too far-fetched?]
I think I understand what happened... Look closely, this nose-cat has obvious injuries!
Upon seeing the comments, Ye Yinchuan felt as if he had found kindred spirits, and a relieved and joyful smile appeared on his face.
However, his smile faded slightly, appearing only briefly.
Because of his love for Pokémon, he treats Noseback the same as everyone else, as an individual with life and dignity. And when he thinks this way, he doesn't talk about Noseback's pain with a frivolous smile.
The injuries mentioned by the audience, and the basis for Ye Yinchuan's judgment, were precisely those shocking marks on Chao Beibi's body...
It looked like it had been pierced by something sharp, or like it had been gnawed apart by some wild animal...
Just imagine what kind of being could inflict such damage on a Rock-type, or even Steel-type, Nosepass!
Others may not know, but Ye Yinchuan already has a clear answer in his heart, and even the image of that brutal and powerful figure has appeared in his mind!
What caused the injury?
Wow, this looks really bad. Is it difficult to repair a Rock-type Pokémon that badly injured?
"Metal monsters, or even Metagross monsters."
Ye Yinchuan's expression was slightly solemn, his eyes reflecting his awe and reverence for that powerful Pokémon.
What kind of metal monster is this? What kind of megametal monster?
[Didn't you guys watch the streamer's previous broadcasts? The one with the farmer, where Metagross attacked Pippi's moon ship and even stormed the farm—the sense of oppression was just too much!]
[I think I also saw IronDumb and MetalGreymon in the mine? IronDumb, MetalGreymon, Metagross, that's the evolution order I remember!]
Wow, I looked it up, and Metagross is terrifying! It's practically a raging metal monster, like an alien spider!
"I'm just speculating, but based on the current evidence, this Nosecat must have been hunted by Metallomon, or even Metagross... It broke away from its pack, perhaps it got separated from the pack, or it may be one of the few survivors in the pack."
Ye Yinchuan said this to the audience, but in reality, he had a clearer answer in his heart; he could hear what Chao Beibei was thinking...
Why does this Nosecat want to evolve? There's only one answer: it wants to become stronger so it can avenge its kind against that terrifying Metagross!
[Host, let me ask you this: is it possible that Metagross is still on its way?]
Upon seeing this comment, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.
If a high-level wild Metagross appears, it will definitely be a very threatening and destabilizing factor for him!
He also subconsciously glanced around and muttered to himself:
"It can't be that unlucky, can it?"
Just as he was thinking this, he heard a heavy object flying at high speed, like the roar of a Boeing aircraft cutting through the air...
The next moment, his scalp tingled, and his expression changed:
"Blanched! It really is there!"
Ye Yinchuan knew that Metagross could fly at speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour, and the Pokédex also mentioned that Metagross would relentlessly pursue Nosepass...
But Ye Yinchuan didn't understand what "relentless pursuit" meant. Was this what it meant to pursue someone relentlessly?
The injuries on this Nosecat had clearly taken some time to heal, and we thought it had escaped Metagross's pursuit... Who would have thought that Metagross was still on its way?
Although it sounded a bit off, Ye Yinchuan had already sorted it out, and he noticed that there were metal fragments left by Metagross in the wound on the North Nose, which was why the wound was difficult to heal!
Using the effects of the Pokédex, Ye Yinchuan consumed extra Influence Points and instantly filled in all the information specific to this Pokémon world that was not described or mentioned in the National Pokédex!
That's how Metagross hunts!
Metagross is a natural predator of Bristlebacks, which often appear in groups. Therefore, Metagross may not be able to eat all of them at once, so they have evolved special hunting strategies...
That is, when attacking the Horned Cattle, they left metal fragments of the Cattle Cattle themselves in their wounds. This not only makes the Horned Cattle's wounds difficult to heal, but also slows down their growth in strength...
Most importantly, Metagross can use these metal fragments to locate the North-facing Nose Monsters and hunt them down when they need to eat!
Upon learning that Metagross in this Pokémon world possesses a hunting ability not mentioned in the original works, Ye Yinchuan felt even more strongly about the power and brutality of this Pokémon as an apex predator!
That sense of oppression wasn't a direct one, but rather permeated their survival and behavioral patterns—a truly terrifying sense of oppression!
More importantly, it seems that a Metagross monster, just like that alien flying demon, is about to descend upon this place!
"Well……"
The eyes of the North-facing Nose Triangle are always closed and facing downwards; that is their fixed posture. Even when facing a deadly threat from a powerful enemy, their appearance will not change much.
But you can still feel its attitude of fighting for every ounce of strength when facing a powerful enemy!
"Could it be...?"
Ye Yinchuan observed some subtle changes on the panel facing north, and he seemed to have realized something.
"There are two conditions for Nosegater to evolve. One is to level up under a special magnetic field; the other is to need a Thunder Stone..."
Why is this north-facing nose struggling to move this way, even when it's so tired and in such poor condition, still managing to keep moving forward little by little...?
Could it be that this place offers the opportunity to meet its evolutionary conditions?
Ye Yinchuan was startled, suddenly realizing that, perhaps by chance, Nosepass was actually planning to evolve here and confront Metagross head-on... to complete its revenge!
