Chapter 399 The Neon Fish School Suffering Mass Poisoning, The Mysterious Turbid Waters of the Deep
Chapter 399 The Neon Fish School Massively Poisoned, the Mysterious Turbid Currents of the Deep Sea! The Golduck That Creates Giant Waves!
Neon fish are an evolved form of fluorescent fish. In terms of posture, they have many similarities with fluorescent fish, or rather, they share common elements...
However, upon closer comparison, one can sense that they are quite different.
In addition, their habits are very different, even contradictory in some ways, so much so that for a time people did not believe that neon fish evolved from fluorescent fish.
One of the most obvious features is its butterfly-shaped fins...
When it's still a fluorescent fish, its tail fin is butterfly-shaped, but when it transforms into a neon fish, it becomes a dorsal fin. It's not a big problem, and it even looks better...
From certain angles, it looks like the fish has grown butterfly wings...
In addition, the pink parts on the neon fish are significantly less than those on the glowfish. The pink stripes on the body and the round spots on the "butterfly wings" have all disappeared, leaving only the pink in the eyes and a little bit on the tail.
Another difference is that the stripes on the fluorescent fish are horizontal, while the stripes on the neon fish are clearly vertical.
It is obvious that the "butterfly wings" on the neon fish are more developed and have a more open appearance, while the neon fish's eyelids also have a slightly drooping state, making it look more elegant and composed.
But the most abstract point is undoubtedly the neon fish's pectoral fins, although according to the encyclopedia, they can be used as feet to crawl along the seabed...
But seeing it in that location, Ye Yinchuan immediately thought of something else...
Wait a minute... why are there two eggs hanging under this neon fish?
[Will there be fish-shaped Pokémon?]
[Oops, I was almost misled by you guys! Upon closer inspection, I realized it's a fish fin!]
The reactions in the comments proved that Ye Yinchuan wasn't the only one who thought this way.
No, I originally thought neon fish were very elegant, but after what you guys said, it suddenly seems like I can't go back to that!
Ye Yinchuan didn't dare respond to the comments. His gaze fell on the neon fish panel, and he quickly realized something was wrong—
The neon fish's condition chart clearly shows the word "poisoned"!
"Poisoning? How can neon fish get poisoned?"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but wonder if he had been attacked in the water.
After all, Poison-type Pokémon and Water-type Pokémon that have mastered Poison-type moves are not uncommon in the ocean. For example, the LavaLoach family and the Tepix family are both considered experts in using poison.
Ye Yinchuan also noticed that the neon fish was not in good condition. It looked relaxed, but it was actually very tired and weak.
"Could it be that the neonfish was attacked by a poison-type Pokémon, which is why it escaped from the deep sea to the surface?"
Just as Ye Yinchuan was speculating further about the specific details, an astonishing scene unfolded.
Suddenly, a large amount of colorful light appeared on the once calm sea surface, and something incredible seemed to be happening underwater...
[Holy crap, what's going on? A rare treasure has appeared?!]
[Could it be that we encountered some incredibly powerful Pokémon?]
The viewers in the live chat were all shocked by this scene.
Ye Yinchuan was also taken aback, but his discerning eyes had already seen through it. The light that suddenly appeared underwater was brought by neon fish. A large number of neon fish were constantly emerging from the bottom of the water and moving closer to the surface of the sea!
"It's neon fish, lots of neon fish."
As Ye Yinchuan shared this situation with the live chat, his expression also became alert. Although this place wasn't far from the outpost, it was still a proper wilderness area, and a relatively high-level one at that, so any dangerous situation was not impossible...
As the saying goes, there must be a reason behind everything.
With so many neon fish suddenly surging up, something was definitely wrong. As Ye Yinchuan scanned them with his discerning eye, he became even more alarmed, because all of these neon fish were clearly "poisoned"!
If one neon fish getting poisoned is a coincidence, then so many neon fish getting poisoned must mean something serious has happened!
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan was already considering whether to call upon Milotic to quickly evacuate from this place to a safer location...
However, it must be said that the simultaneous appearance of so many neon fish is truly a spectacular sight, and the visual impact it brings is no less than that of Milotic alone.
"Let's take another look."
Ye Yinchuan made a quick decision to stay and observe the condition of the group of neon fish. After all, a large-scale poisoning of Pokémon was a significant incident, and as a professional trainer, he could choose to investigate and report it.
What's going on?
[Could it be an impending tsunami? I've heard that before major disasters like earthquakes, animals and Pokémon are more sensitive to anomalies than humans, leading to widespread unusual behavior!]
Seeing the comments section, Ye Yinchuan frowned. Theoretically, this possibility couldn't be ruled out...
However, after observing his surroundings, he noticed that the other Pokémon, apart from being disturbed by the school of Neonfish, did not seem to exhibit any particularly unusual behavior, which suggested that this possibility was not very high.
However, after the neon fish appeared, they quickly dispersed in all directions. This spectacle was like a fleeting moment, disappearing very quickly.
"I don't know what's going on either, but maybe there's something underwater. I can have Milotic take me down to investigate."
Ye Yinchuan was also somewhat puzzled, but he initially judged that the problem might be underwater.
Without hesitation, Ye Yinchuan took a deep breath and sent Milotic directly into the water. As it entered the water, Milotic created a bubble filled with air, covering Ye Yinchuan's entire body...
In this way, Ye Yinchuan's body will not get wet, and he will have a certain supply of oxygen underwater.
Of course, given Ye Yinchuan's current physical condition, he could hold his breath underwater for more than fifteen minutes even without an air supply...
Don't ask, the answer is that the feedback effect of the spirit energy is outstanding, and it has gradually helped Ye Yinchuan develop in the direction of a super rookie!
As Milotic descended, something was quickly discovered: a dark, murky current flowed continuously beneath the surface, its origin unknown. Nearby Pokémon avoided it like the plague, and some, like Neonfish, showed signs of poisoning…
Ye Yinchuan frowned slightly:
"What is this? It doesn't seem like a natural phenomenon; it's more like... sewage discharge? It can't be some large Poison-type Pokémon releasing toxins, can it?"
After briefly assessing the situation, Ye Yinchuan immediately returned to the surface. After all, those things were clearly not good. If wild Pokémon could be poisoned, his Milotic couldn't stay there for long either.
"What do you think this is?"
[No, this is a wilderness area. Surely no one would deliberately dump wastewater here? Who would be so bold as to do that?]
Could it be that some kind of seaweed or microorganisms multiplied rapidly, creating this turbid current?
The audience was buzzing with discussion, but no one could quite put their finger on it.
"Regardless, I'll report this first. This turbid current hasn't dissipated yet. Once it completely dissipates, I'm afraid all the Pokémon in the surrounding waters will be affected. Those neon fish will be the first victims."
Ye Yinchuan's expression was serious as he uploaded the footage he had just recorded directly through the Trainer app. He didn't have a good way to completely resolve this situation at once...
Even if Milotic has some ability to purify water, the amount of turbid water is obviously too large, and it seems to be continuously transported from a very far place.
After doing what he could, Ye Yinchuan explained the situation of the neon fish to the audience:
"As you just saw, neon fish have glowing fins, just like fluorescent fish. They use this light to attract prey in the deep sea, but it also attracts fierce predators, making it a double-edged sword..."
"Their main food is starfish and gem starfish, and sometimes they compete with the lighthouse monsters for food..."
The reason they use their pectoral fins to crawl along the seabed is actually a way of camouflaging themselves, especially when they are not hunting or glowing...
Just like how humans choose to crawl forward on a battlefield, or how thieves steal things stealthily!
[The host's analogy is truly wonderful; you know what, I can picture it right away!]
[Haha, that's interesting. Like I said, it's a pity it was during the day. If it were night, with so many neon fish appearing, it would be like an underwater starry sky!]
At this moment, a thought-provoking comment in the live chat caught Ye Yinchuan's attention:
If the butterfly wings move to the dorsal fin after the Glowfish evolves into the Neonfish, will the one you just caught also have an extra pair of butterfly wings?
Seeing this comment, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but daydream about what that uniquely shaped glowfish would look like after evolving into a neon fish.
"Splash!"
Just then, the waves beneath their feet suddenly surged, and in the distance, a gigantic wave rose from the sea, its momentum overwhelming, like a tsunami...
"This is……"
Ye Yinchuan's pupils contracted as he noticed a Pokémon standing on the giant wave, and next to it, there was actually a person!
[What's going on? Is that a Golduck?]
Why is there a person standing on the crest of the wave? Am I seeing things?
[This looks like surfing, amazing! Creating such a huge wave out of thin air?]
Before Ye Yinchuan could say anything, the comments section was already filled with people who understood what was happening.
Standing on the crest of the wave is a Golduck, and next to Golduck is a young woman in full gear, riding a surfboard. She is clearly its trainer. The two of them, one human and one Pokémon, are practicing surfing!
Surfing, also known as the "surfing technique"!
An incredibly powerful water-type move with a power of 90!
"Wait... this wave is coming at me!"
Ye Yinchuan realized that the other person was surfing in this direction. This was like a large truck rushing towards you in the sea. If you were hit directly by the wave or swept underwater, it would be extremely dangerous!
"Hey! Someone's here!"
Ye Yinchuan waved his hands, giving the other party a hint. The blonde curly-haired woman wearing goggles glanced down but did not react, simply letting Golduck continue surfing.
Whoosh!
No sooner said than done.
In the blink of an eye, the giant wave rushed to Ye Yinchuan's side. In an instant, the whole world seemed to be churning and about to be overturned...
Fortunately, Milotic has an extremely strong ability to control water currents. Even when the surrounding waves are turbulent, it can find the right direction and, like a dragon swimming in water, easily defuse the raging currents. It even managed to break free from an underwater eddy, which can be described as a close call.
Even though he escaped unharmed, Ye Yinchuan was soaked to the bone and quite frightened. Although his face remained calm, it was somewhat gloomy.
"That woman clearly saw me, but she didn't tell Golduck to stop 'surfing' or change the direction of the wave. That's utterly inhuman!"
Ye Yinchuan was quite dissatisfied, even somewhat angry, because if it were any other trainer, without a Pokémon like Milotic that was proficient in water and could manipulate currents, they would probably have been swept away by the waves and sunk to the bottom of the sea...
If not handled properly, it could result in someone's death!
That's definitely a bit much, but can such a huge wave be stopped so easily?
Regardless of whether she can stop it, she should at least look back. If someone were to drown because of this, it would be incredibly immoral!
Ye Yinchuan looked into the distance and saw the woman turn around and look at him, giving him a bright smile and a thumbs-up...
"Is she provoking me? Is she bullying my Pokémon because it can't use Surf? And she doesn't even seem to be Chinese... This foreign woman is really going too far!"
Ye Yinchuan was furious.
That's right. Psyduck's trainer, the young woman with blonde wavy hair, isn't a pure-blooded Chinese. She's of mixed Chinese and overseas descent, named Seto. She's a resident trainer at Crystal Gym and, naturally, a professional trainer...
She was just practicing "surfing" with her Psyduck. This area of the sea is usually deserted, but she didn't expect to encounter other people today...
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the other party was actually the first Milotic holder on the entire network, Kirby's Treasure...
Seth heard that this person was young and promising, with considerable Pokémon skills, and assumed that the other party would be able to defuse her Golduck's giant wave. So she didn't hold back, and things turned out as she expected. The other party easily defused the wave with Milotic.
Therefore, Seth turned around and gave Ye Yinchuan a thumbs up, which was an acknowledgment of his strength...
At this moment, seeing Ye Yinchuan riding Milotic and quickly chasing after him, Seth felt a little excited...
Could I possibly have a chance to ask the other person in person how to evolve Feebas into Milotic, and also discuss issues related to Water-type Pokémon?
But as he got closer and saw Ye Yinchuan's grim expression and accusatory look, Seth realized that he had probably gotten into trouble!
"Wait, wait a minute! I didn't mean it, or rather, there's been a misunderstanding between us!"
Seth made Golduck stop the waves, extend his hands in a gesture of surrender and explanation:
"Kirby's Beloved, I'm your fan!"
Upon hearing that the other person was his fan, Ye Yinchuan's anger subsided somewhat, though he still harbored some resentment:
"Speak, woman, why did you do that? You'd better explain yourself clearly... Didn't you know how dangerous that was?"
This...is an unexpected development.
[Is she a female fan? With such high looks and such a great figure, there's nothing I can do!]
