Chapter 261 Who says dragonflies haven't evolved? Have you ever heard of the ancient giant drag
Chapter 261 Who says dragonflies haven't evolved? Have you ever heard of the ancient giant dragonfly?! Trying to run? You'll be elbowed unconscious!
Ye Yinchuan examined the group of dragonflies in the lens. Although they were a bit far away, he could still make out their appearance clearly.
Although Flygon is a Bug-type Pokémon, it is 1.2 meters long, which is equivalent to a small person. With the width of its wings, it looks very big.
As its name suggests, the dragonfly looks like a dragonfly. Except for the green on its face, its body is mostly red. It has two small horns on its head, two pairs of wings, and a tail structure similar to an airplane tail fin with small spikes at the end that resemble plugs.
There are three pairs of black feet in total, which are quite obvious.
At this moment, the comments section erupted into a discussion about the dragonfly—
Flygon, the Bug-type Pokémon, is quite strong, especially before everyone else has evolved. Its base stats are high, and it levels up quickly, making it practically unstoppable!
[It's a pity it can't evolve, its base stats are capped at 390, so its strength is just average. Also, it can't evolve, so its potential is even lower than Heracross! It's not rare, but it's extremely difficult to catch...]
Yes, dragonflies are rarely caught, mainly because they are excellent fliers; they can easily stop suddenly or make turns!
[Incorrect. Many Pokémon possess flying abilities, no less than Flygon's. The real reason Flygon is difficult to catch is because their senses are extremely acute; they are detected almost immediately upon approach!]
Watching the heated discussion in the live chat, Ye Yinchuan's lips curled up slightly, looking completely unperturbed.
Although Flygon is not a particularly rare Pokémon in this world, quite a few people know about it...
However, these people's understanding of them is still too superficial, and there is ultimately a gap compared to Ye Yinchuan's knowledge.
The two most obvious points.
Firstly, dragonflies can evolve. In the game, as long as a dragonfly learns the Primal Power and levels up, it can evolve into an Ancient Giant Dragonfly.
Ancient Flygon boasts a base stat total of 515, which is definitely not low compared to most Pokémon.
Secondly, while it's not entirely wrong to say that dragonflies are difficult to catch because of their keen senses, it's not entirely accurate either.
The real reason is that dragonflies' eyes can rotate 360 degrees without moving their heads. Even without rotating their eyes, their field of vision is quite wide, so no matter which direction you approach from, you will be easily spotted…
It is naturally very difficult to capture it.
Ye Yinchuan then organized his thoughts and presented the two pieces of information in a way that was easy for the audience to digest and accept.
As a result, it caused a huge stir.
No wonder dragonflies are so hard to catch; they almost always fly away as soon as you get close!
[I'm so envious! If I had eyes like a dragonfly, wouldn't I be able to copy all the answers during exams without moving my head or eyes?]
[Upstairs, think about what your eyes and head would look like!]
[No way? Flygon can evolve? This Pokémon existed in ancient times and even possesses ancient genes?]
[Ancient Giant Dragonfly... This evolved name is too simple and straightforward! Judging from this, it must be enormous?]
Ye Yinchuan only mentioned it briefly.
After all, dragonflies that can master "primal power" are extremely rare in this world.
Otherwise, the fact that dragonflies have evolved forms wouldn't be unknown to everyone.
"Wow, otherwise how could the streamer have over 400,000 followers? They know more about any Pokémon than we do! Now that you mention it, I'm even more interested in Flygon. Streamer, let's get started!"
The person on the other end of the line praised Ye Yinchuan profusely, and at the same time couldn't wait to get their hands on an excellent dragonfly.
"Um……"
Ye Yinchuan really couldn't stand the style of this online interviewer, but thinking that the other party couldn't do anything to him since it was just through a screen, he felt much better.
"Okay, let me find some good ones for you. Just keep this distance, point the camera at those dragonflies, and keep moving around."
Under Ye Yinchuan's guidance, the contact person began to move.
In fact, with Ye Yinchuan's appraisal skills, he could have met the appraisal criteria even if the other party did nothing. However, he still had to put on an act and not make the cheating too obvious.
The identification process cannot immediately help find the best one.
"Hmm... This one's ability is 'Perception.' As mentioned before, Flygons have a strong sense of perception, and a Flygon with this ability will be even more sensitive to various details and situations. Whether used for reconnaissance or battle, it has a significant advantage... Judging from its cautious way of looking around, even wary of its companions passing by, it definitely has a 'Cautious' nature, which makes it even more suitable... As for its IVs, B-rank is sufficient."
"This dragonfly's characteristic is 'compound eyes,' but I won't go into detail about that. Its individual stats are too low, so let's skip it."
"With its 'Accelerate' ability, it flies incredibly fast. Combined with its egg-shaped move 'Quick Attack,' it's an extremely agile creature in battle, maximizing Flygon's flight capabilities! It keeps enemies from touching it while easily attacking them! Its IVs are C-rank, which is a bit lacking, but still decent!"
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan paused briefly.
The person on the other end of the call said, "Oh dear, from what you've said, these dragonflies look really nice! I'm having trouble choosing!"
Seeing the person on the other end of the call acting so coquettishly, Ye Yinchuan felt a tightness in his anus and decided to hasten the end of the call:
"But I think I've spotted a top-tier Flygon! It's carrying the egg move 'Bug Bite'! Its IVs are A-rank, and its ability is 'Accelerate'... Did you see that? Its companions just walked past it, touched it briefly, and got bitten hard. With that kind of personality, it's probably 'Impatience'!"
All these factors combined, I'm certain it's an excellent fighter... If you're planning to raise dragonflies for battle, you absolutely must choose it! Most importantly, its current level is low, making it easy to train!
Because viewers often question how Ye Yinchuan can even tell a Pokémon's personality during the evaluation process, he sometimes adds some evidence to support his judgment when discussing personality, mainly to convince the audience.
[It sounds alright, doesn't it?]
[I remember the Insect Bite move has a power of 60, which isn't very strong, is it?]
[A-grade individual values are already very good, what more could you ask for?]
Although the viewers thought Ye Yinchuan's description of the dragonfly was good, this is Douyin (TikTok), so he still needs to practice more!
"Yeah, streamer, do you have any better ones? This one is pretty good too, but you know, people always want the best."
The viewers were initially tempted, but seeing the comments, their greed was irresistibly stirred.
"As you know, once you start training a Pokémon, you start to develop an emotional attachment to it, so you want to choose a good one from the beginning to avoid having to find fault with it later."
Ye Yinchuan did not resist the frank attitude of the person in the call.
"I see. Actually, I might not have explained it clearly. This dragonfly has a higher probability of evolving. Because the characteristic of ancient giant dragonflies is their aggressive temperament, coupled with a powerful bite... If you don't think this one is quite good, then I can help you choose another one..."
"No, no, no! You should have said so earlier, host! If it could evolve into Ancient Giant Dragonfly, that would definitely be it! But host, could you tell us more about how Dragonfly can evolve into Ancient Giant Dragonfly later?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
He was quite certain that if it were for battle, the one he had chosen was basically the best.
Other dragonflies, no matter how good, are all pretty much the same.
Unless, of course, there is a Flygon whose egg move is "Primal Power," then it is the chosen one to evolve into Ancient Giant Flygon!
Once you've chosen the dragonfly you want to catch, the next key step is whether you can actually catch it.
"Send out all the Pokémon you can use right now, and I'll see how to arrange the capture plan. You should have some companions, right? We can include their Pokémon as well."
Upon hearing Ye Yinchuan's words, the liaison and his companions also gathered their Pokémon together.
Ye Yinchuan glanced over and knew that the team in front of him was probably not professional trainers; the level of their Pokémon was too uneven.
The opponent's location appears to be a low-level jungle area with low entry requirements; even amateur trainers could enter.
After a quick glance, I realized there were only three Pokémon that were truly formidable.
A Charmeleon, a Pidgey, and a Pikachu.
Fire counters bugs, flying counters bugs, electric counters flying...
With type advantage and level advantage, these three Pokémon shouldn't have much trouble dealing with the group of Flygons in front of them.
So the most crucial thing is how to capture the dragonfly before it realizes what's happening.
Ye Yinchuan's mind raced, and he devised a tactic:
"So, Charmeleon will use Ember to disrupt Flygon's formation and drive away any unimportant Flygons... Flygons, being Bug-type Pokémon, are quite afraid of fire. This Charmeleon may not have Dragon Breath or Flamethrower, but it should at least know Ember, right?"
"After Charmeleon disrupts the formation, some Flygons will likely try to retaliate. At this point, Pikachu will use Thunderbolt to repel those Flygons. Electric-type moves are very effective against Flying-type moves."
"Pidgey's mission is to use its Flying-type mobility to catch that Flygon I mentioned... Look closely, it's the fifth one from the left, the one with particularly fierce eyes and a small scar on its face."
[As expected of a streamer, this plan is perfect, it brings out the full potential of each Pokémon!]
[Don't overhype it, I could do it too. It's pure type advantage. Only Pidgey can fly; if it doesn't try to catch it, who will?]
"Okay, there's one more thing to keep in mind, which is your attack positioning. Don't forget that dragonflies can see 360 degrees, so Charmeleon's first attack must start from a place that can attract all their attention..."
Next, Pikachu will need to cooperate by using sound and light to attract the attention of Charizard's first and second brothers near the area...
In this way, the dragonflies' attention was completely diverted, and the Pidgey bird took advantage of the chaos to dart in from a direction they weren't looking at, targeting only one enemy. The enemy was in the open, while I was in the shadows... Hehe... Easy peasy!"
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan himself began to laugh.
The principle of the tactic is not complicated; it is simply a feint attack with a few minor details added.
"Dragonflies' keen observation skills help them avoid danger and detect abnormalities in time... but don't forget, this also means that any slight movement can attract their attention. Therefore, feinting to the east while attacking in the west is the best tactic. And it needs to be double-layered: feint to the southeast while attacking in the west!"
[Okay, okay, after hearing what the host said, I feel like I'm starting to understand!]
Why does the streamer's smile seem so sly?
[I'm a professional trainer, and to be honest, the streamer's strategy is perfect, but we'll have to see how it performs in practice.]
"Alright, host, let's get started!"
On Feifei's side, after discussing and determining the tactics with the Pokémon's respective trainers, the operation officially began.
"roar!"
The Charmander roared and attacked from one direction, spitting sparks as it approached the dragonflies.
Sure enough, almost all the dragonflies turned their bodies and eyes toward the Charmeleon as fast as they could.
Immediately afterwards, Pikachu's electric shock struck from a considerable distance.
The dragonflies' attention was drawn back to the fire dinosaur, but they also kept an eye on its movements...
By this time, the dragonflies were already stretched thin.
As Ye Yinchuan said, their keen attention and wide field of vision actually limited them, so much so that they did not notice that the Pidgey bird had begun to approach quietly from behind!
When the dragonflies are attacked by Charmeleon and Pikachu, they begin to fly away quickly, scattering in all directions, or some of the braver ones begin to try to fight back...
Pidgey darted out from behind, aimed directly at its target, and snatched the dragonfly with a single swipe of its claw.
Things went even more smoothly than expected. There were no additional conflicts. The dragonflies sensed the difference in strength and simply abandoned the dragonfly, choosing to escape on their own.
Of course, Ye Yinchuan also suspected that this dragonfly was not very popular. After all, if its companion accidentally brushed against it, it would get bitten... How could its companion possibly come to its rescue?
Next, you'll have to wear down the Flygon, making it struggle until it's exhausted. Then, use the lure of food, employing both gentle and forceful tactics, before finally capturing it with a Poké Ball.
However, the dragonfly's resistance was far more intense than expected.
They had already scored, but unexpectedly they struggled to get out of there again.
"Oh dear, this dragonfly is so stubborn! But I see it's completely exhausted, yet it still wants to fight back? It's so energetic, I love it!"
Although the person connecting to the dragonfly hadn't successfully captured it yet, they believed it was already theirs and couldn't escape...
At that very moment, a light suddenly appeared on the dragonfly's body!
hum-
Its body was enveloped in rock-based energy, and the surrounding rocks were drawn by a kind of telekinetic force, causing them to levitate...
The dragonfly flapped its wings, emitting angry and defiant roars.
Wow! This dragonfly is amazing!
The more I watch the live stream, the more I like it.
The comments section also revealed the dragonfly's power.
[This... must be the "Primal Power"! Did this dragonfly suddenly awaken?]
[That's so cool! I really believe what the streamer said about dragonflies being able to evolve further, and this one probably has that potential!]
[Awesome! But it seems really hard to subdue them!]
At this moment, the three Pokémon surrounded the Flygon, which had awakened its "primal power," and none of them dared to approach rashly.
Just as the dragonfly was about to flap its wings and fly away, the power of its wing flapping was quite astonishing. It is said that the wind generated by the flapping of the wings of a high-level dragonfly can blow down a house, and the shock wave generated can easily shatter glass.
However, at this critical juncture, the person on the other end of the line let out a roar of fury:
"Hey! What are you all afraid of! This dragonfly is already exhausted! Watch how I tame it!"
Upon hearing this shout, Ye Yinchuan finally confirmed the identity of the contact person as male.
The person connecting the lines lunged forward, and like a mountain crashing down, used his body weight to smash an elbow into the dragonfly.
The dragonfly initially thought it had awakened "primal power" and intimidated its enemies, its attention focused entirely on the three Pokémon...
Who would have thought that humans were the biggest threat!
The dragonfly was instantly knocked unconscious by the elbow, slammed heavily to the ground, its primal power dissipated, surrounding rocks fell, and its wings ceased to move...
"Hahaha! Dragonfly, you won't escape my grasp! Oops... sorry, host, I'm not usually like this, I was just too anxious, that's why I lost my composure!"
All that could be heard was the person on the other end of the call, who was laughing heartily for a while, then suddenly broke into a choked laugh.
This sudden turn was like taking a high-speed turn, almost throwing Ye Yinchuan off his seat.
[This isn't Fei Fei! This is Fei Fei! Like Zhang Fei!]
[Dude, are you from the Demonic Cult? What kind of techniques do you use? Share them!]
[This is too powerful! This is true "primal power"! The dragonfly can no longer take flight!]
Amidst the teasing comments in the live chat, Ye Yinchuan also noticed that the person connecting had bloody wounds on their elbows and body, cuts made by dragonflies flapping their wings.
He also said seriously:
"Viewers in the live stream, please don't try to imitate what you just did. It's only because this dragonfly was low-level that it did that it was no different from landing on a helicopter propeller..."
"After this is over, go to the hospital to get your wound treated. And please don't do this again next time."
Although the Connector's physical strength in suppressing the Pokémon was cool, he was actually not a super rookie; he was just an ordinary mortal.
"Don't worry, streamer, I only dared to do that because I knew this dragonfly wasn't very high level... Ouch! It really hurts!"
"Okay, connection over!"
When Ye Yinchuan ended the call, it was more decisive and efficient than ever before!
Next, several more live connections were conducted, all of which were quite normal and conducted in an orderly manner.
The afternoon's live stream quickly came to an end.
[Ding! This live stream has earned a total of 23147 influence points!]
[Current Reputation Level: VI. Dominating the Region → VII. Renowned Throughout the Land!]
[An additional 10,000,000 Influence Points are needed to advance to the next Reputation rank!]
The moment the influence points are credited.
Ye Yinchuan's anticipation for his new exclusive ability instantly soared!
