[Host, is the iron dumbbell you mentioned the one?]
Ye Yinchuan would genuinely laugh if he saw someone post that Pokémon picture:
"No, it's an iron dumbbell, not the kind that can evolve into a metal monster!"
At this point, the person on the other end of the line asked a question:
"Fine, let's register it then. Hey streamer, will this kid evolve?"
The image of this Pokémon immediately flashed into Ye Yinchuan's mind:
"Actually, when you first called it Mud, it was only somewhat related, but if it evolves, it will resemble Mud even more. The Melting Beast can evolve, and after evolving, it is called the Devouring Beast."
Ye Yinchuan also realized something.
Believe it or not, in Pokémon lore, Sliceraria and Grimer are parent species and can lay eggs together...
Afterwards, the girl asked some questions about individual values and other related issues, which Ye Yinchuan answered one by one.
"Alright, please welcome the next person to connect."
The investigation is ongoing.
"You mean, your Psyduck's tuft of hair looks like a question mark? Are you sure it wasn't styled on purpose? Hmm... okay, it does look a bit dim-witted, but that's alright. The ditzyer Psyduck is, the better its Psychic-type potential is! It has potential, so nurture it well!"
"What? Heracross's horns are heart-shaped? Don't you know that female Heracross are like that? Don't panic... Rejection of the opposite sex? It's okay, it's not a matter of color, it's just that it's not in heat yet. These things are about mutual consent, you can't force it!"
"Oh? You also have a Pinsir, which is clearly weak, but has a high fighting spirit. Are you struggling with whether or not to train it as a battling Pokémon? No ability? Wrong! Your Pinsir is special; it has the hidden ability 'Overconfidence'."
First, this trait affects personality, causing a lack of accurate self-awareness regarding one's own strength. Second, this trait has a special effect: whenever it defeats an enemy, it rapidly levels up and becomes stronger... You ask me how? It's probably the effect of psychological suggestion, amplified countless times!
So, give it some suitable, even weak, opponents; it will grow stronger quickly and won't let you down!
……
@Xiaofugui:
[Host, my Zubat's body is glowing, why is that? Can you take a look and see if there's something wrong?]
A comment caught Ye Yinchuan's attention, and he decisively chose to connect.
[You have accepted the connection request from user "Xiao Fugui"!]
[Connection successful!]
With the prompt, a large-mouthed bat appeared on the screen, flying up and down in the room, looking somewhat excited.
[Huh? I heard this Pokémon lives by sucking blood!]
[What a big mouth!]
Has it evolved eyes?
[Am I the only one who thinks Zubat is cool? Did it become ugly after evolving?]
Ye Yinchuan was also admiring the posture of the giant beaked bat.
The most distinctive feature of the Zubat compared to the Zubat is definitely its larger mouth, which almost takes up its entire body.
Secondly, the ears have become smaller, looking like tiny cat ears.
The wings of the beaked bat are "three-folded", while those of the supersonic bat are "two-folded". The former's wings are more upturned, while the latter's are downturned.
The feet of the Zubat are also quite interesting; they are quite different from those of the Zubat.
Speaking of which, because of its large, somewhat rectangular mouth, the Zubat's shape is perfect for making a phone case, as placing the phone in its mouth position would be just right.
It would be really cool if someone could design it and then make it...
"Yes, Zubat grows eyes after evolving. But did you know that Zubat, although it doesn't have eyes, can use 'black gaze'?"
"Huh? Is that amazing? I keep Zubats, and I had no idea."
The person on the other end of the line was somewhat surprised.
[6. This is like a legless cripple being able to perform a flying kick?]
[A Pokémon without arms can use Fire Punch!]
"Yes, but this technique is called 'Black Gaze,' and much of it is released through the eyes. But in reality, it's still a manifestation of energy and rules; it's probably just about locking onto a target with energy. Something like 'Mind's Eye'?"
"In addition, although Zubat has grown eyes, its eyesight is actually not very good. It often relies on ultrasound to use sonic attacks in combat."
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but take a closer look at the big-mouthed bat's eyes.
The pupils are so small they look like lines; if you didn't know better, you'd think they were drawn on and pasted on.
As for the principle behind black eyes.
With energy tongues and energy hands already in existence, it wouldn't be surprising to have energy eyes too, right?
"Ah, Zubat does suck blood, but my Zubat is a good baby. It only sucks pig's blood or duck's blood... I only feed it occasionally. The special Pokémon food containing pig's blood and duck's blood is enough for its usual nutrition."
At this moment, the person on the other end of the line explained on behalf of their Pokémon.
Ye Yinchuan, drawing on some available information, also jokingly remarked:
"The Zubat's ability to suck blood is incredibly exaggerated; it can suck up 300 milliliters of blood in an instant. The funniest thing is that, you know about its two feet, right? It walks on its feet, sneaks up on its sleeping prey, and then quickly sucks its blood."
【No? The iced tea I have is only 250 ml!】
[A single instance of blood loss is probably around 300 milliliters... but to suck it all away instantly, isn't that too cruel?]
[I can picture it! Streamer, that Pokémon looks like it's being stolen!]
At this moment, the person on the other end of the line also took out a blood bag, which was bulging and looked to contain more than 300 milliliters.
The large-mouthed bats, which had been flying around, came running after smelling the aroma.
It landed on the table and snuggled close to its owner, looking like a little bird seeking shelter.
Although Zubats aren't particularly cute... there are people who like this contrast.
then.
The giant beak bat took a bite of the blood bag, and in the blink of an eye, the blood in the bag disappeared, the bag was completely drained.
The beak-bat's belly was slightly bulging, and it pulled out its sharp teeth, looking quite satisfied.
Wow, that's incredibly fast!
The bag is made of good quality material; it didn't leak at all.
If you get bitten, you'll get four holes, right?
"Oh, right, the teeth of the Zubat are hollow, and the gap in the middle is for sucking blood. Just like the needle used for puncture biopsies, it will directly cause a cylindrical piece of flesh to fall out... Four teeth, that's like four pieces of human flesh."
[Hey! Streamer, stop talking, I'm pictured it!]
I dare not think about it...
[I heard that an explorer was attacked by a Zubat in the wild and was drained dry... When they found him and his Pokémon, only bones and skin remained!]
Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan felt a chill run down his spine.
You're such a nice online friend, trying to hurt each other, huh?
However, wild beaked bats are very dangerous, especially in groups.
If you're not strong enough, or if you encounter one alone, it's no less dangerous than encountering a swarm of bees!
Is it really glowing?
[Just sucked some blood, why am I walking so unsteadily? Maybe I should get some alcohol to sober up!]
Ye Yinchuan also noticed that the big-mouthed bat was indeed glowing.
It wasn't obvious before, but after drinking blood, it became noticeably more vigorous.
"It really is evolving."
Ye Yinchuan sighed.
He had just noticed that the Zubat's status was "About to Evolve".
"Snorlax, are you serious? I thought Zubat was already its final evolved form, but it can evolve even further?"
[No way? Isn't Zubat a Pokémon that evolves twice?]
What is the evolution of Zubat?
Seeing the comments section filled with people who seemed completely unaware of the situation, Ye Yinchuan wasn't surprised.
In this world, people may not even know that some Pokémon with high evolution difficulty have corresponding evolutionary forms.
Let's look at it from a different angle.
In the first generation of the original Pokémon series, even players didn't know that Zubat could evolve...
The evolved form of the Crobat was added later.
Ye Yinchuan didn't keep anyone in suspense:
"After Zubat evolves, it becomes Crobat, which has two pairs of smaller wings for faster flight. These two pairs of wings form an 'X' shape, hence the name Crobat."
[You make it sound so real! If it weren't for my dad having a giant beaver that he's raised for over twenty years and it hasn't evolved, I almost would have succeeded!]
[This is fabricated, absolutely fabricated!]
[Could it be this? Someone posted a picture online a while ago, taken in the wild, saying it's a mutated giant beaked bat!]
I saw someone post a picture. Although it was a bit blurry, I could clearly see a purple figure with two pairs of wings.
Ye Yinchuan nodded.
Although Zubat is difficult to evolve, Crobat does indeed exist in this world.
It was just discovered in the wild and mistakenly identified as a mutation.
Ye Yinchuan also believes that some Pokémon might be known or even owned by someone, but they just don't livestream them.
"But host, how exactly do I make my Zubat evolve? It glows every time it drinks fresh blood, but it only lasts for a short while before dimming."
The person who connects to the network naturally hopes that their Pokémon can evolve.
Ye Yinchuan pondered for a moment.
In the game, the way Zubat evolves into Crobat is through friendship level evolution.
Judging from the relationship between the giant beak bat and the liaison, it seems to be quite good.
This reminded Ye Yinchuan of his own Munchlax, which also seemed to evolve through friendship, but hadn't evolved yet.
"Perhaps you're not feeding it enough blood?"
Ye Yinchuan could only make a half-guess.
"That's impossible, host. Although its appetite has increased, look at this bag, it's a full 500 milliliters, and its belly is bulging..."
"It's possible that your level isn't high enough."
Ye Yinchuan speculated that although some Pokémon are designed to evolve at a certain level,
But in this world, nothing is absolute.
But after thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized something:
"Is it possible that the blood quality is poor? Wild Zubats drink the blood of Pokémon. Pokémon are extraordinary beings, and ordinary pig's blood or duck's blood doesn't have the nourishment of Pokémon energy."
When Ye Yinchuan brought this up.
The person on the other end of the line immediately brightened up:
"Hey! That's actually possible! How about inhaling my mom's Lada?"
Hearing this, Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated, as such words were quite unfamiliar to him.
But he responded immediately:
"As for Rattata... even if it drinks 300 milliliters of blood at once, it's still quite damaging to it. You know, Zubat is so big, and although Rattata is a bit stronger than a baby Rattata, it's still so small..."
"Then I'll inhale my dad's Tauros!"
[You're so filial!]
Haha, having such a son and raising a giant beaked bat at home must be a real ordeal!
What did Tauros do wrong this time?
"Tauros shouldn't be a big deal, but are you sure your dad won't hit you, or that Tauros won't go berserk?"
Although the giant beak bat sucks blood quickly, it doesn't allow its prey to feel pain for a short period of time like the cross bat.
"Hmm...it should be fine. My Tauros is an old bull, very docile. It's a breed passed down from my grandfather. It used to have a bad temper when it was young, and it even plowed the fields for my family!"
[Okay, okay, so they're even after Grandpa's Pokémon?]
Grandpa: Why don't you just suck my juices?
[Smoke, smoke! We're all family here, no one makes a sound!]
The person in charge of the connection is very efficient.
With my camera in hand, I ran into the yard and saw a Tauros dozing under a tree.
It does look quite old; its body hair is long and white, and its skin has many wrinkles, just like human wrinkles.
No! This is Grandpa Cow!
It's rare to see Tauros so peaceful and serene. Kid, stop now!
"Hehe, don't be fooled. When I was little, this Tauros poked my butt. I still have a scar. Want to see it?"
"Ah... I guess I won't look at the butt."
Ye Yinchuan quickly tried to dissuade him, saying that this was not allowed to be broadcast.
As for the other party's plan to suck Tauros's blood...
They're all just their own Pokémon at home. If they're willing to mess around and give everyone a show, what right do they have to object?
Besides, Ye Yinchuan also had his own selfish motives.
If the theory is correct and this Zubat has indeed evolved, it would be great for the entertainment value of the live stream.
After all, helping with authentication and answering questions is all free.
It's fine not to give gifts, but if you can create a good show, then you've gained something.
"Go, Big-mouthed Bat, today you're allowed to suck a drop of old ox's blood!"
The Connector excitedly told the Gulliver that it was the one who wanted to suck blood and evolve.
Upon hearing this, the Zubat's lifeless eyes lit up, and it flapped its wings, moving closer to Tauros.
Seemingly to avoid being noticed, it quietly landed on the ground after getting close, and then walked on its two small and nimble feet.
That look really gave the impression that they were about to steal something.
Once it got close to Tauros, the Zubat opened its mouth wide and bit down near its neck.
"Moo!"
Kentaro felt a sharp pain in his neck and immediately stood up, shaking his body restlessly.
"Old cow, old cow! Here, have some good food!"
The liaison had already prepared a bundle of tender grass and was walking towards Kentaro.
Clearly, this was a feint.
The giant beak bat should have sucked enough blood by now, surely more than 300 milliliters. Retreating now probably won't cause any problems.
As a result, it kept sucking.
Tauros's attention, which had just been drawn to the tender grass, was pulled back. Feeling something on his neck, he immediately started running and crashing into the tree.
Well, that's it. The giant beak bat fell off Tauros like a rag, its mouth covered in blood.
[666! Hahaha, well done, Tauros!]
[This... I shouldn't be laughing, but it's really funny!]
[Oh my god, all its teeth are gone, how can it still suck blood?]
[I'd call this streamer the new generation's idea king on the internet, this is such a terrible idea...]
[Upstairs, don't throw dirty water around! The streamer didn't tell him to suck Tauros's breath, and this Zubat was too greedy, otherwise it wouldn't have gotten defeated!]
"Oh no! Host, what should I do now?"
The person connecting the lines stepped forward and helped the giant beak bat up. They noticed that the giant beak bat had just lost three teeth, and now, as soon as it was helped up, the last one fell out as well.
"this……"
Ye Yinchuan was also finding it difficult to remain calm.
The detail of the last tooth falling out was hilarious.
[The Tauros sucking on his dad is 50% funny!]
[The Kentavious Chicken Duck was passed down from my grandfather; it's 100% hilarious!]
[He lost three teeth trying to smoke Tauros! Hilarious!]
[They picked one up, and then another one fell down. Hilarious level: 1000000%!]
Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan was having a hard time suppressing his laughter.
The whole thing was already hilarious, but the comments made it even funnier.
"Snorlax, stop laughing! My Zubat has lost all its teeth, what am I going to do?!"
Ye Yinchuan stretched out a hand to cover his big teeth, and said slightly, "..."
"It's not a big problem. It's normal for bigmouth bats to lose their teeth in the wild."
Their teeth, specifically designed for sucking blood, are sharp but actually quite fragile. They can easily fall out if they are subjected to impact during combat.
Not to mention, some wild Zubats, either because they were too hungry or because they overestimated their abilities, bit Steel-type Pokémon...
Don't let their unappealing appearance and blood-sucking nature fool you; beaked bats are actually quite friendly. They'll share the blood they've sucked with their hungry companions.
Oh, I see! My head is so itchy, I've learned something new again!
You know, after looking at the beaked bat for a while, it's actually quite cute.
[Actually, as long as the host is still smiling, there's no need to panic. If there were a really big problem, how could he still be smiling!]
"But if my teeth fall out, will I still be able to eat?"
"Don't you usually feed it Pokémon food? Even if you're talking about blood, you've raised Zubat for so long, you must know it has a tongue, right?"
"What?! A tongue?!"
Just as the person on the other end of the line was surprised, the big-mouthed bat in his arms suddenly stuck out its long tongue and sucked the blood from the corner of its mouth, making sure not to waste any.
[666! This is the first time I've ever seen a Zubat's tongue!]
[Wow, that's awesome, but it looks so sleazy!]
[Uh... I take it back, I just thought that sentence was kind of cute...]
"The key is..."
Ye Yinchuan paused for a moment, then continued.
"What's the key point?"
The other party understood that the Zubat was not seriously injured and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But seeing that the giant beak bat had lost all four of its teeth, he felt sorry for it.
"The key point is that your Zubat is about to evolve! Haven't you noticed that the light on its body is getting stronger and stronger?"
Ye Yinchuan said in a relaxed tone.
He listened to his heart and could sense that the big-mouthed bat was very happy in its owner's arms.
Just as they were speaking, the light emanating from the giant bat became noticeably stronger...
The real evolution has begun!
"Moo..."
The Tauros next to it was already munching on tender grass, acting as if it were none of the old cow's business.
Wow! It's really going to evolve!
Haha, Old Niu is so calm...
This Tauros has been around for three generations; what storms hasn't it weathered?
[That's all the old bull's blood... The giant bat only vomited from the impact, it didn't suffer internal injuries, did it?]
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan was focused.
He wanted to witness this moment of evolution.
The viewers in the live stream also share this sentiment, as they have always been eager to see Pokémon caught and evolved.
When the light reached its peak, the outline of the giant beaked bat had already undergone a noticeable change.
Just as Ye Yinchuan said, it turned into two pairs of wings, forming an "X" shape.
His size increased slightly, but there wasn't much change.
As the light fades, more details become apparent.
The mouth has become smaller, the eyes have become bigger, and the ears have become longer and more pointed.
His lips were downturned, and his expression looked somewhat menacing.
It has a set of sharp teeth in its mouth, which are different from the small, pointed teeth it used to have.
"It has truly evolved!"
The person on the other end of the line was excited and surprised, "Snorlax, you mean, this evolved form of Zubat is called Crobat?"
"Yes, the cross of a fork."
The Crobat, having undergone evolution in the arms of the Connector, has transformed its life level, and its original injuries have been completely healed.
Whoosh!
The cross-bat flew out and circled in the yard, its speed so fast that it was almost impossible to keep up with.
Wow! That flight speed is much faster than a Zubat!
[Nonsense! Four wings are definitely faster than one, just like a two-wheeled car can't compare to a four-wheeled one!]
Wow, Crobat! But... am I the only one who thinks it looks a bit like Gengar?
If the Zubat is a small truck, then this Crossbat has a bit of a supercar vibe! Its streamlined shape is so cool!
Ye Yinchuan quite agreed with some of the comments he saw in the live chat:
"Indeed, the Crobat evolved two pairs of wings to achieve greater flight speed. Moreover, with four wings, they can take turns flapping and resting, so they can fly all day without much problem."
"That's amazing, my Crossbat! Hahaha! You're incredible!"
The person on the other end of the line was overjoyed.
Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow, deciding to pour some cold water on his enthusiasm:
"However, this comes at a price. The Crobat's legs have atrophied, making it unable to move nimbly on the ground. If it has to land, it can only crawl..."
"what?"
"On the other hand, there's no need to worry too much. The pair of wings on the underside of the cross-bat are also its hind limbs, which can be used like hands to firmly grip the branches and hang upside down to rest."
6k update is here! After thinking about it, I realized it's because I'm not feeling well. Last month I relied on food and Red Bull to stay awake, but I can't do that this month, so there's an adjustment period. I'll catch up on the update and extra chapters once I'm ready. Also, I've almost finished writing the first generation of Pokémon, and the Crobat storyline is basically over!
