Chapter 597: A social Pokémon with beady eyes, buck teeth, and what appears to be a full beard, but not very intelligent?
"That's right."
Ye Yinchuan looked at the rapidly scrolling, almost submerged answer in the comments section and decisively pressed pause.
He highlighted and pinned that comment to the top.
[ID: The Greatest Tanuki Can't Be Stewed in One Pot: Is there even a need to guess? Gnawing on rocks and trees, brown fur, Tanuki Lake Forest — isn't that Bigtooth Tanuki?]
Congratulations to this friend with such a unique ID!
Ye Yinchuan's voice was full of laughter.
"You guessed right!"
"This Pokémon, which looks incredibly destructive and has teeth strong enough to be a rock crusher, is exactly the kind of Pokémon that everyone loves and flowers adore—"
"6
—Big Toothed Raccoon!
Just then.
A round, chubby-looking little creature poked its furry head out from the nearby bushes.
It is entirely brown, with a pair of small, bean-like eyes, and two prominent, powerful-looking front teeth in front of its mouth, resembling molars.
Behind it is a tail that looks like three blooming flowers, and a round, plump rear end like a corgi.
At this moment, it was holding a rock bigger than its own head, and was happily gnawing on it with its two front teeth.
His appearance was adorable, cute, and a little... not very bright.
Especially his bulging cheeks, which are surrounded by a dark color, making him look like he has a full beard.
Haha, what a silly Pokémon!
"This thing can actually gnaw through a tree that thick? I just don't believe it!"
Wow, with such good teeth, it could gnaw on rocks like it's nothing!
[Damn! I guessed it was Bigtooth Raccoon too! Hurry, or you'll miss out!]
[Congratulations to the streamer "Too Much Stew to Fit" for winning a spot in the livestream's proxy betting service!]
The atmosphere in the live stream room was instantly ignited.
Ye Yinchuan smiled and extended a video call invitation to the lucky viewer.
Soon, a somewhat nervous yet excited young voice came from the screen.
"Host—host! Is that really me?!"
"That's right, it's you," Ye Yinchuan said with a smile. "Tell me, which Pokémon do you want me to catch for you?"
"As long as it's in this forest, I can get it for you. Oh, right, except for mythical beasts."
Ye Yinchuan's words were full of confidence, which filled the viewers in the live broadcast room with anticipation.
Everyone assumed that this lucky audience member would make an outrageous demand.
however.
The boy's answer surprised everyone.
"Host, I—I just want a big-toothed raccoon."
"Huh?" Ye Yinchuan was taken aback.
The live stream chat was instantly flooded with a series of question marks.
【? ? ? 】
[Bro, are you serious? You want a big-toothed raccoon like this?]
This guy is probably a die-hard fan of Big Tooth Beaver.
"Yes!" the boy's voice was very firm. "I've always loved raccoons since I was little! I think they're so cute!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have guessed it so quickly."
"However—" he changed the subject and made his own request.
"I want a special kind of big-toothed raccoon."
"It doesn't have to be very strong, but it must be special and rare enough!"
"Ideally, it should be one of a kind!"
"Because—I already own several big-toothed raccoons!"
This request piqued Ye Yinchuan's interest.
He nodded and readily agreed.
"No problem, leave it to me."
"Today, I'll help you find out if there are any special big-toothed raccoons."
Ye Yinchuan, accompanied by the Thousand-Faced Beast, continued deeper into the lakeside.
The further you go, the more and more you encounter the giant raccoon.
Some were lying sprawled on the grass, lazily basking in the sun, their round bellies rising and falling.
Some float on the clear lake surface, with only their small heads and flat tails showing, like pieces of brown driftwood, drifting with the current.
Others are still diligently gnawing on stones or grinding their teeth, making a "crunch" sound.
A crisp "crackling" sound.
The whole scene looked harmless, filled with a peaceful and adorable atmosphere.
Wow! This is paradise for the big-toothed raccoon!
I really want to pet that person sunbathing! Their tummy must feel so nice to touch!
They look so cute floating in the water!
Looking at the screen full of "simple and cute" comments, Ye Yinchuan smiled and shook his head.
"Family members, don't be fooled by their adorable appearance."
His voice carried a hint of warning.
"Since the teeth of the giant raccoon can easily gnaw through hard rocks, then human skin is probably more fragile to them than tofu."
"Moreover, the big-toothed raccoon is actually very clever."
"You see, on the surface, they all seem to be doing their own thing and ignoring us."
"But in reality, every one of them was glancing at us out of the corner of their eye."
Ye Yinchuan pointed to the Thousand-Faced Avoid following behind him.
"If it weren't for the Thousand-Faced Escape Warrior, which intimidated them."
"They can be quite aggressive. Besides, Bidoof is a social Pokémon; if you provoke them, you might get ganged up on!"
The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the live stream changed instantly.
[A chilling thought! It was all an act?]
[Wow! Now that the host said that, when I look at them again, their eyes seem to have changed!]
[Wow, this is outrageous! I never knew Big Tooth Beast was involved in gangs!]
Just as Ye Yinchuan was giving his commentary.
A small commotion suddenly arose ahead.
Suddenly, a large raccoon, noticeably larger than its kind and bearing a hideous scar on its face, leaped out from behind a rock!
It blocked the path of a large-toothed raccoon that was carrying a beautiful seashell and preparing to return to its den.
"raccoon!"
The scarred raccoon let out a low, threatening cry.
It stretched out its paw and pointed to the seashell in the other's arms.
The meaning couldn't be clearer.
This mountain is mine, these trees are mine, if you want to pass, leave your toll!
The big-toothed raccoon that was blocked in its path trembled with fright, and the seashells in its arms almost fell to the ground.
It looked at the other party's fierce expression and its massive physique, and finally chose to submit.
It sadly placed the beautiful seashell, which it had finally found, on the ground.
Then, in a flash, they ran away.
The scarred raccoon with large teeth picked up a seashell with a smug look on its face, and snapped it in half with a "crunch," as if showing off its teeth.
This scene amused the viewers in the live stream.
[Hey, a bandit has appeared among the Bigtooth Bichon Frises?]
[This is hilarious! Is this some kind of protection money extortion?]
This scarred raccoon is something else! This raccoon is tough, doesn't mince words, and is known for its ruthlessness!
[Isn't that the special Bigtooth Beaver?! Streamer, quick! That's it!]
Ye Yinchuan was also amused by this amusing scene.
He turned to the lucky viewer connected online and asked, "How about it? Is this scarred raccoon special enough?"
"It is indeed quite special—" the boy's voice trembled with hesitation, "but it looks so fierce—I'm afraid I can't handle it."
"Yes, your feeling is right."
Ye Yinchuan nodded.
"This raccoon is of a high level and has a violent and aggressive personality, so it's definitely not suitable for a novice trainer."
While they were discussing it.
The "Scarface Tanuki" finally noticed the presence of Ye Yinchuan and the Thousand-Faced Beast.
The moment its gaze met the calm yet sharp eyes of the Thousand-Faced Beast.
Its body visibly stiffened for a moment.
As a higher form of Thousand Faces, it felt considerable pressure.
Its first instinct was to turn around and run away.
But when it saw that all its companions around it were looking at it...
Its steps abruptly stopped.
No!
I'm the boss of this area!
How could you back down in front of an outsider?
If I just run away like this, how am I supposed to get along in this area after this?
Hearing Scarface's thoughts, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but chuckle.
But then, the scarred raccoon took a deep breath and puffed out its chest.
It threw the half-shell on the ground, then strode towards Ye Yinchuan with an air of indifference.
It stood upright and patted its chest with its short front paws.
Then, he pointed to Ye Yinchuan's backpack.
His arrogant demeanor seemed to say, "Kid, if you know what's good for you, hand over all the goodies in your bag!"
It actually tried to "rob" the streamer!
[Hahaha! I can't stop laughing! This big-toothed raccoon knows how to make the show funny!]
[Hey streamer, it's trying to rob you! Slap it twice to show it how treacherous society can be!]
[Thousand-Faced Avoid: You're pretty brave, aren't you?]
Ye Yinchuan looked at the big-toothed raccoon that was trying to save face by bluffing and coming up with a big mouth. He felt both annoyed and amused.
He winked at the Thousand-Faced Beast behind him.
The thousand-faced evader understood perfectly.
It gracefully stepped forward and extended a gun-like gesture towards the scarred raccoon.
"raccoon!!"
Scarface felt insulted and instantly flew into a rage!
It roared and slammed its four limbs off the ground, like a brown cannonball, crashing fiercely towards the Thousand-Faced Beast!
--slam!
Faced with this fierce attack, the face of the Thousand-Faced Beast remained completely calm.
Its figure merely swayed slightly in place.
Whoosh!
The scarred raccoon's attack passed right through its afterimage and crashed into the air behind it, missing its target.
"raccoon?"
Scarface stood there, completely bewildered, not understanding what had happened.
The figure of the Thousand-Faced Beast had already appeared behind it like a ghost.
It extends a slender finger, and at its tip, a small clump of water swirls rapidly.
—Sniper!
call out!
The water bullet, moving at a speed too fast for the naked eye to detect, struck the flat tail of the scarred raccoon with pinpoint accuracy.
Snapped!
A crisp sound.
Scarface felt a tingling sensation in its tail, followed by a tremendous force that caused it to lose its balance.
It spun rapidly in place like a top for several rounds, and then, with a "plop," it sat down on the ground.
I saw stars and felt dizzy.
The whole process was smooth, efficient, and decisive.
The Thousand-Faced Beast didn't even change its posture once.
It withdrew its finger, gracefully facing the camera, and made a "fire" gesture again, as if to say, "Done."
Okay, I get it now – the Thousand-Faced Avoidant is cool!
Is this the power of a top agent? Elegant, so incredibly elegant!
[Scarface: Who am I? Where am I? What happened?]
The skill gap is too large; it's a complete joke.
The battle was over the instant it began.
Scarface shook his dizzy head and struggled to get up from the ground.
It looked at the Thousand-Faced Beast, which hadn't even let out a breath, and its eyes involuntarily revealed fear.
It finally understood how vast the gap was between itself and the other party.
It tucked its tail between its legs and slunk away, trying to make a run for it.
"Wait a moment."
Ye Yinchuan's voice called out to it.
"I plan to keep this big-toothed raccoon for myself."
As he spoke, he addressed the viewers in the live stream.
【No? You kept it for yourself?】
Is there something special about it?
[I guess he'll keep it as a mascot!]
Ye Yinchuan remained silent.
In fact, he had already seen the extraordinary qualities of this giant raccoon through his discerning eye – [Special trait: Mountain King].
Pokémon possessing this trait have an extremely strong sense of territory. Their strength also increases rapidly as their territory expands!
This is a growth-oriented trait.
If this big-toothed raccoon is left to develop on its own, it will probably remain so.
But if it falls into Ye Yinchuan's hands, that would be extraordinary. With proper nurturing, its future is promising.
With this one trait, it is possible to become a hegemon.
"In other words, as long as it is nurtured to have sufficient strength, and given a sufficiently vast territory to conquer and expand, its growth rate will far exceed that of its kind, and its potential will be limitless."
Ye Yinchuan thought to himself.
Speaking of which, this mountain-king characteristic does fit the temperament of this scarred rat, confirming him as a bandit leader. He took out an energy cube made from top-grade tree fruit, emitting an enticing aroma, from his backpack.
He handed the energy cube to Scarface.
Scarface looked at the fragrant energy cube and swallowed hard.
It glanced to the side at the powerful, sharp-eyed Thousand-Faced Aviator.
It knew it couldn't win.
finally.
Scarface gave up thinking and started gnawing on the energy cube. Face didn't matter anymore; having something good to eat was better than anything else.
Ye Yinchuan smiled slightly, took out a Poké Ball, and gently touched its head.
A flash of red light.
Successfully captured!
Having resolved the Scarface Fox issue, Ye Yinchuan did not forget his promise to that lucky viewer.
He continued his search in the forest with the Thousand-Faced Beast.
Finally, deep in the forest, they found a truly "one-of-a-kind" giant raccoon.
It was a snow-white creature with eyes like rubies—a shimmering big-toothed raccoon!
It was sitting on a blue stone, blankly munching on a tree fruit. Its adorable appearance instantly captured the heart of the young man.
After confirming that it was the right one, Ye Yinchuan easily tamed and captured it for the boy. The boy was overjoyed, and the other viewers in the live stream were extremely envious.
Not long after, another incident occurred, attracting the attention of Ye Yinchuan and all the spectators.
It was a scene under two large trees.
All I saw was...
The two large-toothed raccoons, with their backs to the camera, seemed to be gnawing on tree bark.
[Haha, what a coincidence, two big-toothed raccoons have gotten together!]
Is this performance art?
Wait a minute, are they having a race? A contest to see who can gnaw down the tree first?
Ye Yinchuan's eyesight far surpasses that of ordinary people; he has already clearly seen the situation over there.
For a moment, he couldn't help but be stunned.
