Chapter 342: The crucial item for reviving Aerodactyl! An exchange with Trainer Xiaomian! The Deer
Chapter 342 The crucial item for reviving Aerodactyl! The trade with Trainer Xiaomian! The power of the Impala!
Ye Yinchuan's main instruction was to stop the Motor Lizard from continuing its attack.
Meanwhile, let Milotic and Cottonball treat and comfort the injured Frightened Deer lying on the ground.
The Crimson Roaring Tiger and the Sniper Tree Owl remained in a ready-to-go, waiting-for-order stance, acting as security guards while also serving as a deterrent to the Spectral Deer.
The elusive deer stared at Ye Yinchuan without changing its expression. In its eyes, the panic from before was gone, replaced by a sense of decisiveness and composure.
"Human, I can sense that you have no hostility... Everything you just did was simply to unleash the potential within me, allowing me to leap to a higher level of life, right?"
The sound of the monstrous antler deer appeared in Ye Yinchuan's mind.
This wasn't because Ye Yinchuan listened to his thoughts, but rather because the Deerclops used a telepathic ability, which is reasonable for a powerful Psychic-type Pokémon.
"Being able to communicate directly? That makes things much easier."
Ye Yinchuan's spirits lifted slightly. He hadn't had time to carefully check the changes on the panel after the Frightened Deer evolved into the Strange-Horned Deer.
Now that he saw the horned deer using telepathy, Ye Yinchuan understood.
Of course, the characteristic of this horned deer is "perception", which means it has a strong ability to observe and sense. It can notice when an enemy is approaching or when there is a slight rustling of grass, and it is also easier to find the enemy's weakness.
Ye Yinchuan nodded, acknowledging the strange-horned deer, and then proposed a negotiation:
"Deer with horns, we want the black beads that have fallen off your antlers. Just one for each of you. We can trade you food, or if you need any help, we will do our best to help."
Although being able to talk directly to Pokémon seems a bit strange, it's commonplace for Ye Lingchuan's fans in his live stream. Even if Ye Lingchuan doesn't explain that it's because the Deerclops has telepathic abilities, the audience will still infer it from his identity as Ho-Oh's messenger.
The horned deer hesitated for a moment, looked at Ye Yinchuan, then at Xiao Mian beside him, before giving its response:
"We don't need your help. We can give you the black bead that fell off the horn, but you can only have one."
Hearing the message from the horned deer, Ye Yinchuan felt somewhat helpless and explained the situation to Xiaomian.
After understanding, Xiaomian sighed:
"Perhaps I have to think of another way. If there can only be one black bead, then it should rightfully belong to you, since you've helped me twice, while I haven't been of much help. However, if you're willing, I can exchange some valuable items for the black bead. What do you think?"
Hearing Xiaomian say this, Ye Yinchuan didn't object. After all, he wasn't there for the Black Pearl; he just wanted to help the audience understand the Stunned Deer and the Mysterious Deer.
"It's not a big problem, but if I can get some extra black beads from the horned deer, you wouldn't mind trading with me, would you?"
As a public figure, Ye Yinchuan's behavior was quite frank and open.
He had the means to obtain additional Black Pearls from the Deer, but the Trainer in front of him, Xiaomian, was a complete stranger and even owed him a favor. Naturally, he didn't want to be a good Samaritan and work for him for free, so he made this statement.
"Well... of course."
Although Xiao Mian had some doubts, she thought it made sense. Why should the other party give her a black bead for free when he got it through his own abilities? Just because he's a streamer?
[Is the streamer up to something? Did the Ghostly Deer actually promise two black beads, but he deliberately said there was only one, trying to squeeze some money out of this Little Sleeper?]
[It's not that bad... He's the spokesperson for Phoenix King, a top streamer with millions of followers, he's not short of money or rare gadgets!]
Am I the only one interested in what Xiaomian would offer in exchange for the streamer? She's a professional trainer who bred Blaziken!
"No rush, let's get that one first, then we can talk about other things."
Seeing that Xiaomian was about to take out something, Ye Yinchuan reminded her, and at the same time, he didn't want the horned deer to wait for them for too long.
Xiaomian nodded, still very grateful to Ye Yinchuan.
After all, the black bead was very important to him, as it could save him from the torment of insomnia. If he hadn't met Ye Yinchuan today, how would he have had the chance?
The two followed the monstrous antler deer deeper into the Crystal Forest, bypassing a grove of crystal trees and forests, until they came to a secluded but relatively flat area...
Two or three startled deer noticed the commotion and looked over warily.
One of the startled deer recognized the stag and the injured startled deer that had been rescued. Its eyes showed a somewhat bewildered expression, as if it had thought that its two companions were about to perish...
Unexpectedly, they came back, and the startled deer that returned to rescue them had completely changed and become even stronger. Just looking at their eyes made the startled deer instinctively feel fear!
The horned deer briefly exchanged glances with the startled deer that had abandoned its companions out of fear. It simply stepped forward and let out a cry that echoed through the forest...
Before long, all the frightened deer in the vicinity gathered around. Upon seeing the appearance of the strange-horned deer and the powerful spiritual pressure it released, every single frightened deer felt an instinctive sense of awe...
However, Ye Yinchuan noticed that this herd of startled antler deer seemed to have a alpha deer, a rather robust one with conspicuous scars on its body...
The startled deer was wary of the strange-horned deer that suddenly appeared, seemingly poised to dominate the herd and threaten its position, but it felt more resentment and anger!
It emitted angry and warning sounds, then tentatively approached the horned deer.
The horned deer remained unmoved by the approach of the former leader of the startled deer, its eyes calm as ever, revealing an aura of quiet authority. Clearly, it intended to confront the former leader head-on and compete for supremacy.
"Yo yo yo!"
The leader of the startled stags panted heavily, scraping the ground with its hooves as it made a defiant sound towards the stag, while simultaneously lowering its head slightly, as if about to charge.
The surrounding frightened deer witnessed this scene from a distance, not daring to get involved. They probably knew the strength of the original leader.
Even some who were close to this strange-horned deer couldn't help but show worried expressions, a testament to the lingering power of the deer's leader.
This is a clash between old and new leaders, full of tension, and the outcome will inevitably be a battle of the victors and the vanquished.
hum!
"Yo!"
Seeing that the horned deer remained unmoved by its intimidation, the startled deer felt offended, and its eyes became even angrier and more aggressive.
Normal-type energy surged forth and gathered in front of and beneath the Strange Horned Deer's body, forming a forward-propelling force that charged toward the Strange Horned Deer with incredible speed and power.
The move "Slam" is a standard but powerful Normal-type move.
Nowadays, startled deer rely on "hypnosis," and fighting styles like this startled deer, which rely on physical strength to charge into battle, are relatively rare.
This is one of the reasons why this startled deer became the leader.
After all, "hypnosis" is not effective against all enemies, nor is it a panacea; ultimately, it lacks real-world combat capability.
Faced with the original leader's "ramming" attack, the Strange Antler Deer remained calm and released its superpower-type energy from its antlers. The powerful mental energy seemed to solidify and pressed down on the Strange Antler Deer like an overwhelming tide.
The startled deer originally wanted to give the cunning deer a hard time, but when it charged headfirst, it made a loud thud, as if it had crashed into an iron wall.
"It's the mental barrier of the monstrous deer!"
Ye Yinchuan feigned surprise, his tone forceful; in reality, he was stirring the audience's emotions and providing live commentary.
"The psychic power of the Ghostly Antler Deer is so strong that it can distort reality—this is a living example! This Frightened Antler Deer tried to challenge the Ghostly Antler Deer, but couldn't even touch a single hair!"
[Awesome! Sparrow food is awesome!]
[Haha, a stag beating a startled stag, isn't this like a father beating his son?]
[Wrong, it's alien technology that completely outclasses primitive humans!]
The startled deer charged forward, crashing into the mental barrier of the strange-horned deer. It saw stars and was dizzy from the impact. At the same time, it sensed the invisible but incredibly heavy wall in front of it, and its eyes showed disbelief.
It grew even angrier, charging around in all directions, searching for an exit, as if it wanted to rush out and tear the monstrous deer to pieces.
But the elk just watched it quietly, and with the power of telepathy, told it not to act impulsively anymore, because it would only hurt itself.
The frightened deer went from anger to gradual bewilderment and helplessness, and finally to despair.
It slumped to the ground, finding it hard to accept the end of its era as leader, but it had to admit that the Deerclops was far stronger than it and was more suited to be the leader of the pack in the Pokémon world where the strong are respected!
"The startled deer was subdued."
Ye Yinchuan gave his final assessment, announcing the end of this contest between the old and new leaders.
There's nothing we can do about it; the difference before and after such evolution is just too great!
[Right, it's not like the relationship between Scyther and Scizor that the streamer mentioned. They're about the same strength, each with its own advantages and disadvantages... This Stunner's evolution into Deviljho has improved so much!]
The comments section clearly showed the difference in strength between the Frightened Deer and the Deer with the Dark Antlers.
However, Ye Yinchuan and Xiaomian are more concerned about the Black Pearl right now.
The horned deer defeated its original leader and gained the support of the other tribesmen. It also kept its promise and ordered its tribesmen to go to the nest, carry a black bead, and deliver it to Ye Yinchuan.
Judging from its appearance, it clearly approves of Ye Yinchuan, while it treats Xiaomian only as an afterthought and barely pays any attention to her.
Because of the strange-horned deer's attitude towards Ye Yinchuan, the other startled-horned deer were also friendly to him.
"This is the black pearl of the startled deer."
Ye Yinchuan held the black bead, or more accurately, the dark brown one, which had a fragrance of Chinese herbal medicine or sandalwood. Taking a whiff of it did indeed give one a sense of calm.
"wonderful."
After showing the video to the viewers in the live stream, Ye Yinchuan looked at Xiaomian, whose eyes revealed longing:
"What are you planning to use in exchange?"
Ye Yinchuan and Xiaomian had never met before. He wouldn't do a losing deal and just give away such a good thing. He wasn't a sucker or a pushover.
After all, his Pokémon family is growing bigger and bigger, and it's practically starving for more, not to mention projects like the tourist park, which may require further investment.
Even assuming there were no such demands, Ye Yinchuan is a livestreamer, not a philanthropist.
Xiao Mian was prepared, but the black bead was so attractive to him that he momentarily forgot his senses.
Just smelling the fragrance of the black beads from afar, Xiaomian could imagine what kind of sweet dreams she would have.
"I'm sure you'll be interested in this!"
Xiaomian took out something; it was golden yellow, clear and translucent, with a nice luster.
What is that? Is it a gemstone?
[It feels like it's made of plastic...]
[You guys have no taste! This looks like amber, doesn't it?]
Ye Yinchuan squinted as he examined the object closely. Inside what appeared to be amber, there were specks of red substance...
"What is this?"
Although Ye Yinchuan knows almost everything about Pokémon, he is rather amateurish when it comes to these kinds of things.
He was also a little confused because he lacked information and could easily be fooled!
"This amber is something I stumbled upon. It's said to contain fragments of some ancient Pokémon's tissue. If I could gather enough of its genes, I might be able to clone and revive the corresponding Pokémon using advanced technology!"
Upon hearing Xiaomian's words, Ye Yinchuan's expression shifted, as if he had remembered something.
Fossilized pterosaur!
If he remembers correctly, one of the ways to obtain Aerodactyl in various versions of Pokémon games is to acquire an important item called "Secret Amber" and then revive it as Aerodactyl at certain locations!
Similar plot points can be found in anime and manga as well.
"This... the key item for reviving the fossil pterosaur, just appeared right before my eyes like this?"
Looking at the amber in Xiaomian's hand, Ye Yinchuan felt an extra surge of joy. It would be impossible for him not to feel a little excited.
In his mind, Aerodactyl is a very cool and mysterious Pokémon, which fascinates him both in games and anime.
If only we could revive a fossil aeroda in this Pokémon world...
That kind of joy is definitely not much less than catching a mythical Pokémon!
"It seems you are indeed interested!"
Xiaomian noticed the subtle change in Ye Yinchuan's expression and was secretly delighted. He had been worried that the other party wouldn't be interested in what he had brought out.
"However... I have to make it clear to you that no one has yet been able to extract and clone the genetic material from this amber... supposedly because there's too little remaining tissue. So, it's probably only good for collecting. As for actually reviving ancient Pokémon, it's pretty unrealistic. You'd better be prepared."
Ye Yinchuan nodded; he understood as well.
In the game, a tiny piece of secret amber can revive a fossil pterosaur.
But in reality, it's never that easy.
Perhaps, only by collecting a lot of secret amber can we have the opportunity to extract enough genetic material for replication and cloning!
Another point that must be noted is—
No one can guarantee that the ancient Pokémon genes in this amber are from Aerodactyl; they could be from other Pokémon, or even something quite ordinary!
"I think it's okay."
Ye Yinchuan acknowledged the value of the amber and intended to make an exchange.
Even if there's only a tiny chance of reviving the fossil pterosaur, he'd be willing to try, and exchanging a black bead for it would be worthwhile...
Moreover, Ye Yinchuan was confident that he could obtain another black bead from the horned deer.
After the exchange was completed, Ye Yinchuan did not leave, but instead turned his gaze back to the horned deer.
The horned deer, possessing the ability to "perceive" and powerful spiritual strength, immediately sensed Ye Yinchuan's "malicious" gaze.
