Chapter 222 You starfish, your friendship isn't as simple as it seems! The Sparrow has mastered
Chapter 222 You Starfish, Your Friendship Isn't Just a Simple One! The Spearow Masters the "Triple Attack" Technique!
Choosing a Spearow with strong battle potential was not a difficult task for Ye Yinchuan.
He only needs to follow the camera, make a few gestures, and then pick the best one, and he's done.
"Generally speaking, evolving a Vulture requires at least level 50. Your Skarmory is only around level 30, so it's basically no match for a Vulture. You should be more careful and take preventative measures as soon as possible."
Ye Yinchuan seemed to realize something and, worried that Bird Uncle might not understand the seriousness of the problem, added something else.
"Okay, I understand, I'll have someone install bird netting tomorrow."
The identification continued, and soon Ye Yinchuan noticed a rather impressive Fiery Sparrow.
"This Fiery Sparrow... if I'm not mistaken, it has the potential for 'high-speed movement.' It's more composed than a typical Fiery Sparrow, and its movements are light, with a brief sense of floating... This indicates that it's already consciously using its mind to control its body!"
[High-speed movement? Spearow also knows Psychic-type moves?]
[The anchor's eyes are like a ruler!]
"Unfortunately, its individual stats are a little lacking, only around C-grade. You can consider this one, but let's look at the others."
Ye Yinchuan continued his search.
"This finches are something else, didn't you notice? Its beak and claws are sharper than those of a typical finches... Oh, zoom in a bit, do you see that eerie glow?"
Guided by Ye Yinchuan, Bird Uncle brought a piece of paper and gently touched it on the peacock's claw, cutting the paper in two!
[Wow! The streamer has such sharp eyes! If the streamer hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have noticed at all!]
[Wow! This peacock is a natural-born weapon! One scratch from it and it'd be ripped open!]
The live chat erupted in astonishment, while Ye Yinchuan remained remarkably calm.
"This Spearow's IVs are pretty good, B-rank. With proper training, it will definitely be a very strong competitor."
He also looked at the characteristics of this Fiery Sparrow on the panel.
[Trait: Sharp Claws]
This Spearow possesses an extraordinary talent: its claws and teeth become exceptionally sharp, increasing the power of its pecking and clawing attacks.
A purely beneficial trait is indeed rare for a Sparrow.
"Okay, host, I'll make a note of this one..."
This book is first published on 111k.com, providing you with a reading experience without errors or disordered chapters.
Psy marked this finless jay.
Ye Yinchuan nodded: "Let's look at one more. If we find one that's similar, then we'll stop here."
"Okay."
Although he wanted to ask Ye Yinchuan to take a look, Bird Uncle knew that he couldn't be greedy. The two Fiery Sparrows he had found were already quite good.
Even if I can't win the mahjong tournament, I can at least get into the top ten!
"The camera pans back, yes, that's the one!"
Ye Yinchuan's tone carried a hint of surprise, because this Fiery Sparrow was probably the perfect specimen for a sparrow fighting competition!
"Well, how should I put it, host!"
Bird Uncle also noticed the subtle change in Ye Yinchuan's tone and couldn't contain himself any longer.
However, with his keen eyesight, he couldn't see anything unusual about this Fiery Sparrow.
Ye Yinchuan paused for a moment, then organized his thoughts and said:
"In the Sparrow Fighting Tournament, the required bird must be a Spearow, not a Finch, right? As we all know, it's not very difficult for a Spearow to evolve into a Finch; with enough training, it's easy to evolve."
Psy nodded:
"Yes, every year there are many good Spearow that could have won a prize, but if they accidentally evolve, they lose their chance to compete."
That's really funny, haha.
Why is a bird fighting competition this strict?
[We have to be strict! How can a Spearow fight a Finch?]
Ye Yinchuan stated:
"That's it! This Spearow is missing a crucial set of evolutionary genes... so it'll never evolve into Finch. But God closes one door and opens another; its IVs are S-rank, and it even has the 'Triple Attack' egg move!"
[Isn't this a bit like that little tyrant pangolin? Both are incredibly overpowered, but can't evolve?]
Dude, you can even tell when someone's missing a gene?
[Triple attack? I remember that's Dodori's signature move? Spearow can do that too?]
Ye Yinchuan answered all the questions raised by the viewers in the live chat:
"Hmm...it's indeed similar to the Tyrant Pangolin, mainly because neither of them can evolve, but they're very strong in other areas. However, there are still some differences. First of all, the Tyrant Pangolin's IVs aren't high. Secondly, the Tyrant Pangolin's ability to learn moves is far superior to this Spearow. This Spearow only has one move by default, while the Tyrant Pangolin can learn everything. Can you really call them the same?"
"I'm not looking at the genes themselves when I say a certain gene is missing. There are external characteristics that indicate it's missing. Look closely, this Fiery Sparrow's beak is noticeably shorter than usual. A key characteristic for a Fiery Sparrow to evolve into a Finch is that its beak becomes larger and longer... Do you understand?"
"Triple Attack is indeed a move that Dodrio can master, but it's definitely not the only one that can! Dugtrio, Magneton, and even Hydreigon, which I mentioned before, all have a chance to master it!"
[Host, all of these things you're talking about have three heads, right? I can understand three heads releasing beams simultaneously, but how does a Spearow release one? It's too abstract, I can't imagine it!]
Ye Yinchuan initially found it hard to imagine, but now that he possesses the [True Knowledge Compendium], he has every detail under his control.
"Hmm... It's a bit complicated to explain, but if you just let this Fiery Sparrow unleash it, you'll understand."
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan instructed Bird Uncle to demonstrate on the spot.
Some people may not understand and may think that "triple attack" means three attacks at once, but in reality, a true "triple attack" is the simultaneous release of three different beams of light that attack at the same time. However, the specific type of light depends on the individual situation.
What I'm trying to tell you is that Triple Attack is a beam-type move, a special attack, not a physical attack. And the ability to trigger Triple Beam is related to the guidance of beam-type moves.
The initial step was to tie up the Fiery Sparrow, restricting its movement, and then throw things at it. The Fiery Sparrow would instinctively want to fight back or eliminate the threat, but its body was bound... so it could only mobilize its internal energy to form beams of light!
Is it similar to the guiding principle of "mind power"?
"Yes, the ways to guide Pokémon are all pretty much the same, just a few basic methods. But basically, they all rely on their instincts. For example, if you throw something at them, they will feel threatened and will use their own power to fight back."
[So, host, what if we throw a pool ball or a crumpled piece of paper at it, and it realizes there's no danger?]
"It's simple, just throw some that are actually dangerous... but don't actually hit it."
As they tried, the Fiery Sparrow actually spat out a beam of light from its mouth, which struck the piece of wood that was hitting it.
With a snap, the wooden block shattered into pieces and then burst into flames.
"This is a fire-type ray. Keep trying. Generally, Pokémon that have mastered Triple Attack can master at least three types of rays. Each ray will have a different effect depending on its type..."
It may not be able to master it yet, but as long as it can exhaust one type of energy within its body, the other type of energy will manifest... Of course, if it only masters one type, then never mind!
Ye Yinchuan provided explanations and further guidance, while also taking the time to put on an extra layer of armor for himself.
After all, theory is theory, and practice is practice.
In practice, there are too many obstacles and possibilities.
However, thanks to Psy's attempt, this jaguar successfully released the second type of ray.
It was white energy, and it didn't seem to have any special properties.
"Hmm... Normal type beams, I guess that counts too. It doesn't have any special effects, just pure destructive power. You know what a destructive beam is, right? When you train a Normal type beam to its fullest potential and turn it into a technique, it becomes a destructive beam."
Unfortunately, the third type of ray simply cannot be used.
The Fiery Sparrow also looked dejected, its head tilted to one side and its tongue sticking out.
Not a single drop is left!
[Judging from the streamer's words, this Spearow might even have a chance to master the Destruction Beam? That's incredibly awesome!]
[We need to get that breeding bird here!]
"You'll probably need to guide them properly from here on out. Of course, while it's called a triple attack, theoretically, there might not be three types of rays; two types are also possible."
"Okay, streamer, no problem. Even if it's only like this now, I'm very satisfied. This Rayquaza will definitely shine in the Sparrow Fighting Tournament."
"And since this Spearow won't evolve, I can train it relentlessly and level up without worry... If I don't bring back a top-three finish, I'll have failed your assessment!"
Ye Yinchuan nodded, feeling gratified to hear Bird Uncle say that.
"Alright, that's about it. I should go on to my next live stream. There's a line of people waiting."
At this moment, a comment in the live chat asked:
[Host, could you explain? I believe Spearow can use a triple attack, but what exactly does it look like?]
"Oh, I forgot to mention..."
That's how people are sometimes; they mistakenly believe that others know what they're thinking.
Both "mind-based healing" and "the curse of knowledge" operate on similar principles.
"As far as I know, the Fiery Sparrow's triple attack may manifest in two ways. One is that it spreads its wings and gathers energy in its beak to release three rays simultaneously. The other is that it spits out rays from its mouth, which form a ball of light that surrounds its body and then bombards the enemy all at once..."
"Both of these forms of expression are possible, and theoretically, can learn from and transform into each other. Of course, there may also be groundbreaking forms of expression, but basically these two are relatively good templates. The former has a fast start-up speed, while the latter can seize the opportunity to launch a more effective bombardment of the enemy."
[This streamer is amazing! Sometimes just listening to them brag is a wonderful thing!]
[To the person upstairs: Are you Tauros or Miltank?]
[This is my first time watching a live stream. Do I need to take notes?]
Ye Yinchuan also successfully concluded the video call.
"Family members, are there any other experts?"
The live connections are in full swing.
"Your adopted Geodude has a really bad temper? Where did you get it... Oh, from the stinky ditch, that's right, rocks in stinky ditches are smelly and hard! Let me see what's wrong... Hmm, your Geodude's temperament isn't innate, it's because it's been absorbing too many pollutants from the minerals, causing its bad temper... Here's what you should do, go buy some good rocks, feed it to it for a while, that should fix it!"
"Eggasily can't evolve? What? You threw away all the stones Eggasily found because you thought they were dirty? How foolish! Those are crucial for Eggasily's evolution! And don't you know how to respect Pokémon's habits? Eggasily just likes white and round things. It's too young to lay eggs yet, so it uses these instead... Apologize to Eggasily!"
"Your sunflower seed has been wilting lately? The leaves are turning yellow? But it still looks quite vibrant. I'd like to ask what's wrong? Zoom in a bit... Congratulations! Your sunflower seed has a heteromorphic color, but it's a recessive gene that will gradually show up as it grows. It's not just withered and yellow; it's a golden sunflower seed!"
After a flurry of activity, Ye Yinchuan took a tactical drink of water to adjust his pace.
With his daily live streams, he's become accustomed to seeing many Pokémon or special situations.
As the saying goes, there's nothing new under the sun.
However, he still hoped that there might be a Pokémon that would catch his eye.
@BelieveInTheLight: [Host, could you help me identify my starfish? Lately, it's lost its appetite and is distracted during training. I don't know what's wrong, so I'm begging you!]
Ye Yinchuan hesitated for a moment, then, thinking that there were no more exciting connection requests, he approved the one in front of him.
[You have approved the connection request from user "Believe in the Light"!]
[Connection successful!]
With the prompt, a scene appears before your eyes, showing a young man holding a starfish in his arms.
Starfish have a golden-brown body, shaped like a five-pointed star with a red core in the center and a metallic-like ring around the core.
The ring extends out from the bottom and one side, encircling the starfish's legs, as if it serves a certain fixing function, similar to the structure of a ring.
This starfish does look a bit listless and not very energetic.
Has it been a long time since you soaked it in water?
[I can understand being distracted during training, after all, I'm like that when I'm studying... but a loss of appetite? Maybe I'm sick!]
The comments section was filled with discussion about this.
Ye Yinchuan, however, immediately recognized the ailment of the starfish.
But he was also secretly surprised, because the starfish's state was clearly [loneliness, longing, and infatuation]?
This looks so much like... lovesickness!
Could it be that this starfish fell in love, but was separated from its owner?
Ye Yinchuan didn't mince words and went straight to the point:
"Do you, starfish, have any close friends? Have you been in contact with other starfish recently?"
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end replied without hesitation:
"Starfish's friends... my sister, and its Piplup, I guess they count! As for its kind, I don't have any..."
Ye Yinchuan pondered for a moment and said:
"Are your sister's Bogarman and you, this starfish, very close?"
"Of course, we were all hatched together, you could say we grew up together."
Ye Yinchuan nodded, having a general idea of what was going on:
"Your starfish must be missing its friends too much. Your sister's Pogaman is probably not around lately, right?"
"Yes, my sister went to university and took Piplup with her... Could it be that Starfish misses Piplup so much that she did this?"
【What? This is easy to deduce.】
[Upstairs, didn't you notice that the host's very first question hit the nail on the head? You only thought you could make a good deduction after you understood the situation. If I didn't tell you these things, would you have been able to ask such a relevant question?]
Ye Yinchuan concluded:
"Try making a video call to your sister. If the starfish gets better, then it means it was the right thing to do."
If it's true, then it's a really wonderful relationship!
This friendship is truly touching!
But Ye Yinchuan's expression was slightly strange.
Because he understood that this starfish's feelings were more than just friendship...
Obsession? More like a story of a starfish falling in love with something different!
After all, there's a sentence in the starfish encyclopedia that says—
Starfish are hermaphroditic, meaning they can be both male and female at the same time, and can form romantic relationships with anyone...
The "person" here probably refers to any Pokémon!
Upon hearing Ye Yinchuan's statement, the person on the other end of the line immediately made a video call to his sister, and the moment the call connected, Hai Xingxing's mental state clearly became excited.
"What's wrong, Xiaoxing? Why are you calling me all of a sudden? I've only been gone a few days, are you missing your sister?"
A gentle, magnetic voice, like that of a radio announcer, came from the other end of the phone.
"Sis, Staryu's been so listless since you took Piplup away! Can you come back soon? I'm currently on a live stream with Snorlax, do you mind?"
"Haha, no problem at all. The starfish really is... Bogarman's sleeping, shall I give it a shot so the starfish can see? I'll bring it back to see the starfish when I have a break in a couple of days!"
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan, who was listening to the inner voice, raised an eyebrow, sensing something...
"No, no... we don't need to call Bogarman!"
Ye Yinchuan frowned, as if he had discovered something unexpected.
"What's wrong, streamer?"
Upon hearing Ye Yinchuan's words, the person on the other end of the line suddenly became a little nervous. Could there be some serious problem?
"Um... listen carefully to what I'm about to say. It's not that serious, but if you're not careful, it could raise some ethical issues."
Is this for real? Is it really that exaggerated?
What ethical issues could there be? Could it be that these siblings...?
"Speak, host."
At this moment, the older sister also listened without saying a word.
"I found this starfish strange earlier, but now it seems there's no mistake... It's in love! But it's a little different from what I thought; its love interest isn't Bogarman, but your sister!"
【What?! Holy crap, is it that explosive?!】
[I knew this livestream room always has something new to discover...]
[666, I consider you a partner, do you want to be my brother-in-law?]
Uh, starfish... well, that doesn't seem like a bad idea?
[Upstairs, people shouldn't, or at least shouldn't!]
