Chapter 237 A Byproduct of the Evolution of the Earth Dwelling Ninja? A Ghost Residing in a Body? Overpowered Characteristics and a Way to Counter It!
"A Pokémon appeared in the Poké Ball? That's ridiculous!"
Ye Yinchuan's first reaction was naturally surprise, but he immediately realized something.
"Could it be that?"
Compared to Ye Yinchuan, who immediately had a certain guess in mind, the viewers in the live broadcast room were even more confused.
"Dude, are you kidding us? Who grows Pokémon in their Poké Ball?!"
[Could it be that Paras mushrooms have sprouted? I could believe that, since those things seem to grow everywhere!]
It's not Christmas yet, do you think Santa Claus will bring you elves?
【Incredible? How incredible could it be? Is it some kind of mythical beast?】
Ye Yinchuan chose to make a connection; he needed more information to verify his ideas.
[You have approved the connection request from user "Where is More"!]
[Connection successful!]
With the notification, the person on the other end of the line appeared on screen, looking slightly anxious, as if this was a troublesome matter for him.
"Hello host, my name is Naluduo, you can just call me Xiaoduo."
"Hello, Naludo, my name is Killer."
Ye Yinchuan would occasionally crack a joke, but whether the other person would catch on was another matter.
The person on the other end of the line gave a wry smile:
"Stop teasing me, streamer. To be honest, this still gives me the creeps. How could a Pokémon just appear out of nowhere in a Poké Ball? And that Pokémon was simply unbelievable, even bizarre!"
Hearing these words, Ye Yinchuan seemed to feel more certain, and he roughly understood the situation.
So he got straight to the point:
"Did you raise a ninja? And recently your ninja evolved. This strange thing happened after the ninja evolved."
When Ye Yinchuan uttered those words, the person on the other end of the line couldn't help but exclaim "Holy crap!" Their eyes, looking at the camera, revealed shock, even terror.
"Hey streamer, how did you know? Did you plant a camera on me? I've been watching your streams for so long, I roughly know how amazing you are..."
But this is ridiculous! I haven't mentioned the Tsuchikage ninja at all, nor have I revealed it on social media. How did you know?
【…? Do the streamers even act anymore?】
[I'm also very curious, how did the streamer deduce from these few words that the person connecting with the streamer owned a Ninjado Pokémon...? Is there any connection between the extra Pokémon in the Poké Ball and the Ninjado Pokémon?]
[I suggest relevant authorities verify the streamer's human identity. I suspect he's not from Earth, and may not even be from our world!]
Looking at the last comment, Ye Yinchuan realized he had scared himself. The prophet should be dragged out and killed immediately; the transmigrator's identity was almost exposed!
Ye Yinchuan wasn't too flustered, because he knew very well that the netizens were mainly just making fun of him.
"I'm just speculating. The main thing is that the situation you described is very similar to something I know, which is a phenomenon that can only occur when a Tsuchii ninja evolves."
Hearing this, the interviewer had to think more highly of the streamer.
He consulted a lot of information and asked many people, but no one knew anything about what had happened to him. Unexpectedly, the streamer saw through it at a glance. I have to say, this Kirby appraiser is really amazing!
"That's right, streamer, this happened after Ninjado evolved. Please tell me what happened. I've locked that Poké Ball in a box, and I'm afraid to touch it!"
What kind of Pokémon is inside the Poké Ball?
It's making me feel really uneasy!
Seemingly noticing the comments, the person connecting to the live stream didn't mince words and spoke directly:
"It's hard to describe what that thing was. It looked like a cicada, but... I could sense that it wasn't alive at all. It was like an empty shell... like a shell that a ninja had shed..."
But that thing definitely exists, like some kind of life form that can enter Poké Balls... To be honest, it's not that I don't want to talk about it, I just don't know what's going on, that's why I asked the streamer.
[Why all this mystery? Could it be that the shed shell of a ninja has come to life?]
[Sometimes it's not a living thing, sometimes it seems like some kind of life form—what is it trying to say?]
[Enough said, with this level of communication skills, let's just get straight to the baby!]
Ye Yinchuan nodded in agreement. In fact, this situation was indeed quite unexpected for someone who was encountering it for the first time and had no specific knowledge of it, and it was hard to describe.
"Streamer, can that thing really be released? I have a feeling it's a bit dangerous, like those...ghost Pokémon that have appeared in your streams?"
Hearing this, Ye Yinchuan smiled:
"Ah, you've finally hit the nail on the head. Then I don't need to hide it anymore. That thing is a Ghost Pokémon!"
【Alright, alright, another Ghost Pokémon?】
Actually, it's been a while since I've seen it. The last time it appeared really scared me...
"Huh? It really is a Ghost Pokémon? Looks like my intuition was right. I always feel a chill when I get close to that thing... I can feel that it's just an empty shell. I once really wanted to see what was inside its shell, you know that inexplicable urge? But I held back in the end!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow:
"Hmm... it's best not to look at that thing. I've only heard that if you peer through the hole in its back, your soul will be sucked away."
[…? ? ? It suddenly became terrifying!]
[I think I understand now. Ninjago evolved, and then its shed shell was possessed by something, turning into a ghost Pokémon and ending up in a Poké Ball?]
After glancing at the comments, Ye Yinchuan knew he couldn't wait any longer; he had to get the Pokémon out of the picture quickly...
If I keep going, these people will have already said everything, so what's the point of me saying anything at all?
"Just release the Iron-Faced Ninja, and... and the Pokémon in that Poké Ball, and I'll tell everyone about it."
Ye Yinchuan was resolute.
"it is good."
The person on the other end of the line understood what the anchor was saying. Since the anchor dared to say that, he must be confident and there was no risk involved.
"Come out, Iron-Faced Ninja!"
After summoning the Iron-Faced Ninja, the contact said he was going to get the key to unlock the box containing the ghost Pokémon.
"Okay, go ahead."
Ye Yinchuan said he could wait, while also appreciating the iron-faced ninja's demeanor.
The Iron-Faced Ninja's appearance is actually that of a cicada, but the yellow and black color scheme, combined with the insect's body, made Ye Yinchuan think of a Beedrill.
If you look closely, they are quite different.
It's called the Iron-Faced Ninja, because its face and head are covered as if by armor.
Its body is black, its eyes are red, its forelimbs are iron gray, and the edges of its two pairs of wings are also decorated with red...
It's pretty cool. It's said that the design prototype of the Iron-Faced Ninja was a ninja combined with a cicada.
This masked ninja is so well-behaved!
[Yeah, wasn't it said that the Iron-Faced Ninja could fly around so fast you could hardly see him, and that he would constantly yell and be very noisy?]
It's said that Ninjazuchi is a Pokémon that really tests a trainer's skill level. If you're not good enough, you'll be driven crazy by it... You can't catch it, and it keeps barking!
Ye Yinchuan also noticed that this Iron-Faced Ninja was docile and level 20, meaning it had probably only recently evolved.
It's probably not that the person connecting to the video is highly trained, but rather that this masked ninja is inherently quite sensible, so it won't be like what the comments say.
If a wild Iron Mask Ninja could be tamed to this extent, then its skill level is extremely high!
Not long after, the liaison arrived with a Poké Ball.
He took a deep breath and released the Pokémon from the Poké Ball.
When this Pokémon appeared before everyone, the live chat exploded with excitement...
[Holy crap! This thing really looks eerie, kind of lifeless!]
At first glance, it looks rather simple and honest, but if you look closely, its eyes are completely empty—it's clearly a living creature!
Wait a minute, did that thing on its back explode? There's a hole... Oh my god, I can't wait to see what happened!
Can you see it? It looks like it has a halo around its head...
You can get a general idea of what this Pokémon looks like just by looking at the comments.
Ye Yinchuan was also admiring its posture.
This Pokémon is Ninjazu, which evolves from Ninjazu. It only appears when certain conditions are met.
Although the Shedding Shell Ninja looks like it has wings, those are actually its tattered body extending out from its back...
It relies on ghost-type abilities to float in the air, which is what is known as a ghost.
The shape of the shell-shedding ninja is similar to that of a cicada, except that it only has an outer shell, which is brownish-yellow overall and grayish-brown in the abdomen...
"Host, what do you mean?"
The person connecting to the line didn't dare look at the ninja who had shed his skin.
The Iron-Faced Ninja also clearly showed a look of fear when he saw the Shedding-Shell Ninja.
"You see? Even my Iron-Faced Ninja is scared..."
Ye Yinchuan was not surprised by this.
Although theoretically, the Shedding Shell Ninja is a bonus item for the evolution of the Earth Dwelling Ninja into the Iron Mask Ninja, or even both are evolved from the Earth Dwelling Ninja...
The problem is, for the Iron-Faced Ninja, it's like a shell he shed was taken over by another soul, turning him into a ghost...
The ghost looked almost exactly like me, and even its aura was very familiar; it was incredibly eerie.
A flawless version after careful inspection!
In other words, humans do not have the ability to shed their skin or exfoliate...
But imagine if a body, or even a corpse, that looks exactly like you suddenly got possessed by another soul and appeared in front of you, wouldn't you find it strange?
[Host, please explain, what exactly happened?]
[This is absolutely unbelievable! It does resemble the Iron-Faced Ninja quite a bit, but it looks like it's dead...]
Ye Yinchuan began to explain:
"Actually, this Pokémon is called Shedinja, which is an evolution of Ninjado, or rather, a Pokémon that is produced as a result of the evolution of Ninjado into Ninjado."
[Host, please continue!]
"Sheepshell is a Pokémon formed from the shell of a Ninjado who shed his skin and was then possessed by other souls. Therefore, it belongs to the Bug and Ghost types."
So, this thing actually has nothing to do with the Tsuchii ninja, right?
Is this even possible?
Ye Yinchuan seemed to be pondering this question. He obtained some valuable information through [Listening to the Heart's Voice] and [True Knowledge Illustrated Guide].
"To say it's unrelated is quite the opposite. The body of the Shedding Shell Ninja is based on the Earth Dwelling Ninja, so their individual stats and personalities are completely identical."
Moreover, I once saw some theories in ancient books, although there is no way to verify them, but I think they are still quite reliable... that is, the souls residing in the molted bodies are actually dead earth-dwelling ninjas or iron-masked ninjas. These souls still have lingering attachments, so they are resurrected in this way...
Of course, there is also a theory that the residing soul is unconscious and was originally meant to be reincarnated, but mistakenly ended up in a molting shell, becoming a molting ninja.
Therefore, if this hypothesis holds true, then the Shedding Shell Ninja is not only the body of the Doi Ninja family, but also their soul... It can't be said that they are unrelated!
[I've learned something new! You can do that too?]
This is truly eye-opening; it's absolutely amazing!
[Sheepshell Ninja, this is the first time I've ever heard of this Pokémon!]
So, since it's a Ghost-type Pokémon, is it dangerous? Like, as the streamer said, if you look at the hole on its back, your soul will be sucked away?
Ye Yinchuan has already obtained the most accurate information about this through the [True Knowledge Illustrated Guide].
"Sheepstick can learn 'Drain' and 'Giga Drain,' but it's not a Grass-type Pokémon, so how do you think it drains?"
[Holy crap, it's sucking souls!]
[Terrifying!]
Ye Yinchuan stated:
"The Shedding Shell Ninja possesses some Grass-type potential. To be more precise, the entire Tsuchiya Ninja family has Grass-type potential. If you look closely, you'll notice that the Tsuchiya Ninja's green wings look a lot like leaves, don't they?"
Whether it's a Shedding Skin Ninja or a Masked Ninja, they all have the opportunity to master the powerful Grass-type move "Sun Beam"... So, mastering "Absorption" is also reasonable.
What you're saying isn't entirely wrong. Shedinja is a Ghost-type Pokémon, and its "Absorb" ability can even drain life force and soul, but it's definitely not as exaggerated as just looking at the hole behind it and having your soul sucked away...
As long as the trainer tames it properly, there's basically no danger. And since the original Ninjado was docile, this one is also docile, making it even easier to handle.
"That's alright, otherwise it would be too terrifying to have your soul sucked away with just one glance!"
Yeah, who could resist taking a look at this?
Wait a minute... if that's the case, the Connector is pretty lucky. They raise a Pokémon, evolve one, and get another free?
Hearing Ye Yinchuan say this, the person in the contact relaxed a little from his fear of the Shedding Skin Ninja.
"Being able to learn 'Giga Drain' and 'Solar Beam'? That's pretty impressive, isn't it? Host, I'd like to ask, who's stronger, the Iron Mask Ninja or the Shedding Shell Ninja? From what you're saying, their Individual Values and Personalities are the same, so what about their Abilities? Are their strengths roughly the same?"
The Wire has far too many questions about the Shedding Shell Ninja.
In fact, he hadn't even figured out the Iron-Faced Ninja yet, so he was completely clueless about the Shedding-Shell Ninja that suddenly appeared.
"Each has its own merits. The Iron-Faced Ninja's speed is no joke; it's known in the martial arts world as the Sonic Cicada. Before people discovered that the Iron-Faced Ninja evolved from the Tsuchikyu Ninja, they even thought it was a creature that could only be heard and not seen, because it was so fast that it was impossible to see its form!"
Is it really that fast?
Why is my Iron-Faced Ninja so slow?
"Ahem, there are individual differences. There are slow Iron Mask Ninjas, but back then no one would associate fast Iron Mask Ninjas with slow ones. I don't know if I've explained it clearly."
Ye Yinchuan also thought of the illustrations of the Iron-Faced Ninja.
With a total of only 456 base stat points, and 160 of them being Speed, that's really fast...
Not to mention, most of the Iron-Faced Ninjas also have the "Acceleration" property, making them even faster.
In comparison, the base stats of the Shedding Shell Ninja are rather pathetic, with only 1 point of health and a total of only 236 points...
[A well-trained Iron-Faced Ninja is very powerful, but the question is, what about a Shedding-Shell Ninja?]
Ye Yinchuan paused slightly, then continued:
"Sheepshell is, after all, a Ghost Pokémon, and it doesn't have its own physical form, it just resides in a body... So, in all aspects, its abilities are actually quite average; it lacks speed and destructive power..."
Isn't that terrible?
[Isn't the host contradicting himself? Talking nonsense?]
"but……"
Ye Yinchuan looked at the comments and couldn't help but laugh at the thought of what he was going to say next.
"It has an incredibly powerful feature! Not only that, but this feature is unique to it!"
This statement immediately caused a stir in the live chat.
Clearly, Ye Yinchuan's words aroused strong curiosity among the audience.
Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me!
Ye Yinchuan didn't stop and said:
"This characteristic is called 'Miraculous Protection.' It creates an incredibly unique power that protects the Shedinja. Aside from Flying, Rock, Ghost, Fire, and Dark-type attacks, almost no other attacks can effectively damage the Shedinja!"
[Pshaw! I thought it was something amazing, but the attributes you're talking about are pretty common, okay?]
[That's not true... If that were the case, wouldn't it mean that Shedinja would be an invincible tank for any Pokémon of any other type?]
"Hmm... Of course, there are some situations that can interfere with 'Mystic Protection.' One is 'abnormal status,' and the other is attacks from the environment, such as sandstorms and hail. Even a Shedding Skin Ninja can still get injured... This is probably because 'Mystic Protection' only targets attacks initiated by the opponent, making it a somewhat idealistic technique."
Ye Yinchuan added.
Shedinja's "Miracle Guard" works almost identically in this Pokémon world as it does in the games. While it can be invincible in certain situations, it also has ways to counter it and weaknesses.
[Hmm... If you hadn't mentioned these things, Shedinja would at least be considered a legendary Pokémon. But since you've revealed this information, Shedinja might have a hard time making it onto the scene!]
[Haha, they'll be found out sooner or later, right? But even if they get targeted in matches, at least in the wild, a Shedding Skin Ninja is practically invincible unless they encounter opponents with those attributes, isn't he?]
