Xiao Meng led his Pokémon to an open space.
As per Ye Yinchuan's request, the area was deserted, flat, and without any mountains nearby.
"Alright, Xiao Meng, now let your Sandshrews use the moves they've already mastered one by one, and I'll help you fill in any gaps in their skills."
Ye Yinchuan remained calm and proceeded at his own pace.
@LongShao:
[Can you hurry up? You can't get away with this today. Don't tell me later that you're out of energy and can't use that move. That kind of trick won't fool me or the audience!]
"Xiao Long, calm down. Such a powerful finishing move can't be used easily; it requires a warm-up."
Of course, you're right, special moves require a lot of physical strength and energy.
therefore……
Xiao Meng, make sure your Sandshrew conserves its stamina and energy as much as possible when using these moves. We're not looking for power, we just want to get the information across.
At this moment, they are in a luxurious villa.
A man dressed in luxurious silk pajamas and wearing high-end anti-glare glasses, half-sitting on a chaise lounge with two bikini-clad beauties attending to him on either side, took off his glasses and said incredulously:
"What did he call me? Little Dragon?! Even my dad wouldn't dare call me that!"
A starfish in front of him is being used as a phone stand.
And in front of them, there was a huge swimming pool, practically a lake, with two powerful Water-type Pokémon—
The dominant Wartortle and Gyarados are battling under the supervision of several trainers around them, as if it were a performance.
"Young Master Long, why are you arguing with a small-time streamer? Let's play some fun games together."
"That's right, that's right! Today I'm your Water-type Pokémon... I know a lot of powerful moves! Water Spray and Shell Slam, which one do you like?"
Faced with the beautiful women around him, Young Master Long said somewhat impatiently:
"Get out of my way! Don't bother me, I'm furious right now. I'm not letting this go until I've dealt with this little streamer!"
Seeing this, the bikini-clad beauties on both sides pouted their plump lips, looking somewhat aggrieved, but wisely refrained from making a sound.
"Sandshrew, here we come!"
Xiao Meng placed the flashlight aside, and before he knew it, he had picked up a whip.
"Snapped!"
Xiao Meng lashed out with the whip, striking the ground with a loud crack.
Upon seeing this, Ye Yinchuan's heart skipped a beat: "Training Pokémon with a whip? No wonder he calls himself a Beastmaster..."
Wow, is he going to mistreat Pokémon?
[You've practiced a lot with that whip-wielding technique!]
"Don't worry, everyone. If Xiao Meng usually abused Pokémon with a whip, these little guys would be terrified. But look, whether it's Sandshrew or the most timid Rattata, they all seem fine."
Ye Yinchuan, with his keen observation, explained on Xiao Meng's behalf.
Meanwhile, the pangolin was on high alert.
The three little rattatas sat obediently in a row, while the bee and butterfly fluttered their wings and hovered in mid-air; it's harder to discern emotions in insects' eyes.
Although it was dark, the lights illuminated Xiao Meng and his Pokémon, creating a harmonious scene that evoked a sense of warmth.
At Xiao Meng's command, the Sandshrew used its mastered move—
Arrest, indiscriminate arrest;
Slice, chop repeatedly;
Circling, rolling, high-speed rotation;
Digging sand and burrowing;
Sandshrew used a total of 9 moves.
These are the moves that Xiao Meng knows the Sandshrew has mastered.
Furthermore, the use of these nine moves implies a gradual progression, and even the possibility of combining moves.
I've become quite proficient at using it.
Wow, for a sand rat to have so many skills is really impressive!
[But the streamer said his Sandshrew won't evolve, and he doesn't know what level it is.]
The comments section was buzzing with discussion.
"Your moves were well executed, but your Sandshrew still has at least five moves left to use."
Ye Yinchuan's expression was calm, but his eyes were quite sharp.
[No way? Does that mean this pangolin has a total of 14 moves? That's... trying to do too much at once!]
[Hilarious! Look at Xiao Meng's expression. He had no idea his pangolin had so many tricks up its sleeve!]
@LongShao:
[I admit, this sand rat is kind of interesting! But you'd better not disappoint me with the remaining five moves! Hurry!]
At this moment, after seeing that the Sandshrew had truly mastered so many moves, Long Shao...
His mindset has undergone some subtle changes:
"Could it be that this pangolin is truly extraordinary, capable of a single, deadly strike?"
Xiao Meng was somewhat embarrassed:
"Brother... so which five moves are they?"
It's a bit ridiculous, but does that mean that trainers know less about their own Pokémon than streamers who are only meeting them for the first time today?
Regarding the explanation for this question, both Xiao Meng and the audience vaguely pointed to one answer—
That's what makes the streamer awesome!
"Let's do it one at a time."
Ye Yinchuan didn't keep them in suspense and went straight to the point.
"The first one is a Ground-type move called Stomp. This move involves stomping the ground forcefully to create a shockwave on surrounding opponents!"
Theoretically speaking, Stomp is a prerequisite for Earthquake, meaning that your Sandshrew has the potential to learn Earthquake later on.
But I estimate that it will be very difficult to master.
Because whether it's a heavy step or an earthquake, in addition to relying on strength, it also needs to utilize energy and its own weight.
Your pangolin, because it can't evolve, is ultimately lacking something.
"Stomp! My sand rat, has it learned to stomp yet?"
Xiao Meng found it hard to believe.
"But we haven't practiced this move at all. We only saw it used by some powerful Pokémon in a video a few days ago..."
"That's right! I told you, your pangolin has an astonishing talent for learning!"
Ye Yinchuan said with certainty.
"Sandshrew, use Stomp!"
Xiao Meng gave the pangolin instructions, but the pangolin looked somewhat confused.
[Haha, it's nothing!]
Ye Yinchuan was used to viewers constantly jumping on his face whenever they had the chance.
But Xiao Meng quickly adjusted his posture.
He lifted his foot and stomped hard on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Although its feet didn't move an inch, it gave the pangolin an idea.
It raised one of its lower limbs, and earth-yellow energy condensed on it before stomping down heavily...
Bang!
The ground was struck hard, and a ring of air was even visible to the naked eye.
The little Rada, who had just been watching the show obediently, was so shaken that it bounced off the ground and fell flat on its face.
Fortunately, as previously emphasized, it's important to control the physical strength and energy used.
Therefore, neither Little Rada nor Little Meng were injured; they were mainly startled.
Wow, it really will stomp!
This move is so useful!
"Brother! My sand rat has really learned to stomp!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Xiao Meng became extremely excited.
"It didn't learn it; it just knew it all along, but it didn't even realize it."
Ye Yinchuan said with a smile.
Could this pangolin really be a genius?
[Sandshrew: I had no idea I knew this trick!]
The comments section was filled with astonishment.
"The move 'Stomp' is very useful; you can make Sandshrew use it in almost any move combo."
For example, when attacking an enemy with a random grab, you can follow up with a heavy stomp to catch the enemy off guard and leave them with no way to avoid it!
Alternatively, by digging a hole and bursting out of the ground, you can stomp on the enemy in that instant—this is also extremely effective!
Ye Yinchuan spoke eloquently.
Although he doesn't have much practical experience in this Pokémon world.
Although he had never eaten pork, he had still seen pigs run. Ye Yinchuan had also observed battles between Ground-type Pokémon.
As he said, the heavy step is indeed quite versatile.
However, the downside is that this move is almost completely ineffective against Flying-type enemies.
@LongShao: [That's interesting, but it's definitely not a move that needs to be registered. You continue!]
Seeing that Ye Yinchuan was always right, Long Shao didn't dare to be arrogant anymore.
Although few people dared to speak ill of him, he still cared about his reputation.
"The second move is the Spinning Ball. Your Sandshrew has already mastered high-speed spinning, but hasn't realized that it can now use the Spinning Ball."
The key to a spinning top ball lies in two aspects: one is possessing the impact and explosive force of a spinning top when rotating at high speed; the other is being able to control its own rotation speed to achieve remarkable balance.
In the Pokémon games, Beyblade is a Steel-type move.
But in this world, there is no such saying.
Steel-type Pokémon are relatively easier to master and can better unleash the power of Gyro Ball.
[The spinning top ball, that's a pretty advanced move!]
[Never heard of it, is it that amazing?]
Xiao Meng tries to guide the pangolin.
But the pangolin still uses high-speed rotation, which seems a bit incomprehensible.
"As expected, there is still some resistance."
Ye Yinchuan thought to himself.
However, given the lessons learned from previous repeated mistakes,
Nowadays, you can hardly find many people jumping to conclusions in the comments; they've probably been proven wrong and are afraid to admit it anymore.
"Well, Little Fierce, the Spinning Ball and Rapid Spin moves are a bit too similar. Could you get some demonstration videos of these two moves? Put them together and let Sandshrew see them."
Ye Yinchuan reminded him.
In the Pokémon world, many people share videos of their Pokémon demonstrating moves.
Meanwhile, the Pokémon Association's official website also features videos corresponding to various moves.
If it's already known, a quick search will easily find it.
Xiao Meng did it very quickly.
He was lucky; he found a video explaining high-speed spinning and gyroscope balls.
The video teaches trainers how to teach Pokémon that have already mastered high-speed spinning to master the Gyro Ball.
Now, Ye Yinchuan told him not to even look at it himself, but to just show it to the pangolin.
Ye Yinchuan believed in the effectiveness of the "learning from Little Tyrant" trait.
The pangolin was studying very diligently, its deep blue eyes fixed intently on the instructional video.
I slept in late and saw a sandpiper watching an instructional video!
"One more time, Sandshrew!"
After the pangolin watched the instructional video, Xiao Meng gave the order.
Sandshrew unleashed another attack, but somewhat disappointingly, it was still a high-speed spin.
It seems like that's not going to work...
That's it?
However, the pangolin's high-speed spin did not end immediately.
Instead, it started moving left and right like a spinning top.
It moves at varying speeds, maintaining a delicate balance while simultaneously displaying powerful impact and explosive force!
Here, the difference between high-speed rotation and a gyroscope ball becomes easy to see.
High-speed rotation either results in a collision, or after a collision, it continuously rubs against the opponent.
However, the Spinning Top Ball move, once it hits the opponent and bounces them back, can still bounce back and attack again!
Even... if the training is good enough.
It can utilize the impact terrain to gain a powerful recoil force, causing greater damage to the opponent, and the trajectory of the attack will also become more unpredictable!
[Two moves already, what are the three remaining moves?]
[Wow, you're amazing, streamer!]
@LongShao:
[It seems you really do have some skill, but when exactly will you be able to bring out the techniques you mentioned that you're going to file for record?]
"Don't worry, Xiao Meng, can your pangolin handle this?"
"A little tired... but still okay. I'll get it some energy potions to replenish its strength!"
Ye Yinchuan nodded.
Energy potions, also known as PP potions in Pokémon games, are made from special berries and can quickly restore a Pokémon's energy, depending on their quality and level.
Of course, in this Pokémon world, there is no such thing as PP.
Using moves only consumes stamina and Pokémon energy.
As for certain moves, there is a limit to the number of times they can be used per day, which can be understood as PP.
But essentially, it's a way for Pokémon's body and brain to protect themselves from moves that consume too much energy and have too much power.
Of course, in certain special circumstances, it is possible to break through limits by relying on willpower.
However, one must bear the consequences.
Just like humans, we feel fatigued when we do mental work.
Some online novelists can update more than 20,000 words a day, but the next day their minds will feel very heavy, and they may not be able to write a single word.
I won't update as much next time; the thought alone terrifies me.
@LongShao:
[What kind of off-brand energy potion are you using? Is this for Pokémon?]
Xiao Meng noticed this comment and looked somewhat ashamed.
This was the best energy potion he could afford, to the best of his ability.
"Xiaolong, you're a classic example of 'Why not eat meat porridge?' When poor people have no food, why don't they eat bread or meat?"
Upon seeing this, Ye Yinchuan retorted sharply without hesitation.
@LongShao:
【Kabby, you've got guts! Few of you streamers would dare talk to me like that!】
Xiao Meng, right? Message me later. Your Sandshrew is really powerful; I'm planning to buy it. That way, you can improve your life and have the funds to become a trainer!
Seeing Long Shao's comment, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but facepalm.
For some reason, I feel that Long Shao is not a bad person, but he has a strange kind of stupidity.
Perhaps it's because he came from a wealthy family and was protected from a young age, that his brain circuits are different from others?
"Thank you, Young Master Long, but the Sandshrew is an important partner of mine. No matter how much money you offer... I won't sell it."
Xiao Meng fed the pangolin an energy potion and gently stroked it, letting it rest well.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan seemed to realize something.
If Young Master Long takes a liking to this pangolin, I hope he won't resort to violent acquisition, and I also hope that Xiao Meng will stay true to his original intentions and remember what he has said.
"Xiao Meng, remember to protect your privacy and don't reveal your location anywhere."
Also, the Dream Protection Bureau will be contacting you tonight to file a report, but remember to ask them to show their identification. Don't give any bad guys an opportunity to take advantage of you.
Ye Yinchuan said these words both to remind Xiao Meng and to warn certain people.
@LongShao: [What do you mean? Huh? Do you think I'm that kind of person?]
"Xiaolong, look how anxious you are again. I said 'bad guy,' why are you taking it personally? Can you be a bad guy?"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but laugh.
He wouldn't go too far in his criticism, and at the end, he made sure to appease the young master.
@LongShao: [I'm definitely not a bad person, don't worry. I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. If my exposé fails today, I'm willing to apologize to you!]
Upon seeing this sentence, Ye Yinchuan's heart stirred.
It seems that Young Master Long isn't too stupid; he knows to leave himself a way out.
Or perhaps he genuinely didn't have any bad intentions?
At this moment, some comments were already showering Long Shao with compliments—
[Young Master Long, you're so handsome!]
[As expected of Young Master Long, he has a grand vision!]
Ye Yinchuan had no grounds for objecting to this.
Anyway, he's not going to lick the assholes of rich people; he can't get any gold coins out of it anyway.
Besides, if you can earn money through your own abilities, why be a sycophant?
During a short break, Ye Yinchuan also took a tactical sip of water.
@LongShao: [You still keep a Munchlax? I'll get one too.]
@LongShao: [That fish in the back is so ugly! How could you sleep at night with such an ugly Pokémon in your house?]
@LongShao: [That's a Pokémon egg behind you? What kind is it?]
Ye Yinchuan thought to himself, "Young Master Long is really boring, but why is he inexplicably kind of cute?"
Ye Yinchuan gave only perfunctory answers to Long Shao's questions.
At this point, someone asked about the whip, asking why he used a whip to train Pokémon.
"I also consulted some great trainers. Besides boosting Pokémon's morale during training, the whip can also be used to whip Pokémon."
Furthermore, during combat, different sounds can be produced by the whip to quickly issue commands, which is much more convenient than shouting them out!
Xiao Meng also shared his training experiences in great detail.
"Yes, some particularly ambitious Pokémon will even ask their trainers to whip them in order to challenge themselves with more difficult training, which is also beneficial for them to improve their strength."
Ye Yinchuan added to this,
"As the saying goes, people are forced to reach their full potential, and the same applies to Pokémon. But remember, mistreating Pokémon is absolutely unacceptable, both morally and legally! One of the principles of Pokémon training is respect!"
Soon, the pangolin regained some of its strength.
"Of the last three moves, I'll just mention two directly: High-Speed Movement and High-Speed Star!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Meng didn't say much, but simply followed the previous procedure to develop the pangolin's potential.
There were many, and the sand rat used these two moves.
The process wasn't difficult at all; in fact, it felt quite easy.
High-speed movement is a psychic-type move in the game.
However, there is no clear division in the Pokémon world.
The effect is to relax the body and make it feel lighter, thereby achieving the effect of high-speed movement.
The result is that after using high-speed movement, the pangolin's movements and speed become significantly faster.
Moreover, there was a faint flow of energy on his body, but it was unclear what its attribute was.
In the game, Swift Strike is a Normal-type move.
When used on a pangolin, it concentrates energy, forms a star shape, and is then launched at high speed.
Ye Yinchuan observed that the pangolin was using normal-type energy.
Based on previous experience, it is reasonable to speculate that using the energy of the terrestrial system can also release high-speed stars, but it is unknown whether the effect will be significantly different.
@LongShao: [There's only one skill left, so is that ultimate move that needs to be prepared for the grand finale?]
"Xiao Long, the last one to appear is not actually called the finale, but the grand finale."
Ye Yinchuan didn't care whether Long Shao understood or not; he just couldn't help but speak.
"Come on, Little Meng. Wait a minute, you and the other Pokémon, step back. Keep at least seven or eight meters away, and stand to the side or slightly behind, don't stand in a straight line with Sandshrew."
Why all this fuss?
It's finally coming!
"The Sandshrew's last move, its one-hit kill, is Earth Shatter!"
What?! It's an earthquake!
"No way? Sandshrew can use Earth Shatter? Are you kidding me? Isn't that a Ground-type move only a ferocious beast like Hippowdon could use?"
I've heard of a wild Excadrill that became a Totem Pokémon thanks to its single move, Earth Shatter!
Could it be that this rat possesses the potential to become a tyrant?
This move can actually crack the ground!
@LongShao: [Streamer, you better not be messing with me!]
"Come on, same old rules. Little Meng, you should remember when you and Sandshrew first saw the Earth Shattering move, right?"
That very moment, your Sandshrew unknowingly memorized this move into its subconscious. It probably doesn't even believe it could master such a deadly strike!
Ye Yinchuan guided the way.
"I understand, Kirby!"
After Xiao Meng finished speaking, he squatted down and hugged the pangolin.
"Sandshrew, I don't know how powerful you are! But even you, when you were still a Pokémon egg, were abandoned and almost died from weakness!"
Now, it's time to use Earth Shatter! Tear apart the predicament and obstacles before us!
One day, we'll conquer all the gyms and become an invincible team renowned far and wide! I'm a professional trainer, and you're my most reliable partner!
The pangolin's eyes shone like jewels, filled with a certain determination and longing.
It understood!
As a battle video played, the powerful Dragon/Ground type Pokémon, Flygon, took to the sky in a difficult final battle against an incredibly strong opponent, unleashing its powerful Ground-type energy as it charged towards the enemy...
With a single strike, the ground cracked open, as if a deep ravine had been created!
The enemy, struck by the powerful impact, fell into the crevice, fell into a coma, and was unable to rise again!
This is the ultimate attack of the Ground type, one of the strongest moves: Earth Shatter!
The pangolin took a deep breath and stretched its body.
Is it really possible for it to unleash such a powerful move?
The pangolin seemed somewhat lost.
But when it thought of Xiao Meng's words, its eyes were filled with conviction.
The power of bonds permeates the spirit, causing the energy within it to resonate...
A powerful terrestrial energy is erupting, clearly visible even to the naked eye, burning like a raging fire!
The pangolin leaped up and then curled into a ball.
Upon impact with the ground, the gyroscope uses the recoil force to bounce directly into the air.
Adjust your posture in mid-air, turn upside down, and fall straight down.
A strong belief drives the body's instincts.
The hidden techniques within his body were thus unleashed!
All the energy was concentrated in one claw, which slammed into the ground...
Click!
A loud bang followed.
The solid ground in front of them suddenly cracked open without any warning.
With a depth of over ten meters, it resembles a rift valley!
The gaps are large enough for even a Pokémon of normal size to fall through.
The destructive power generated the moment the ground cracks open is unimaginable!
"Sandshrew! It's Earth Fissure! You really used Earth Fissure!"
After a brief silence.
Xiao Meng, who could barely stand and nearly fell, was so shocked that he couldn't shake off the experience for a long time.
Then, realizing what was happening, he shouted with joy.
Upon seeing this, Ye Yinchuan also breathed a long sigh of relief.
The pangolin finally lived up to expectations and unleashed its deadly move, Earth Shatter!
It seems I won't be completely disgraced.
The chat messages in the live stream.
After a very brief silence, an unprecedented explosion occurred!
The shock to many people was as profound as the ground cracking open!
To be honest, the inspiration for Beastmaster and Sandshrew actually comes from Beastmaster Decade and his Sandshrew in the original series. This Sandshrew was incredibly powerful, but it never appeared again. Decade's prototype is the shorts-wearing character from the game. Ahem, that's a bit long, but the Beastmaster and Sandshrew storyline is now over!
