Live treasure appraisal: You are such an elf!

Chapter 417 Streamer, what exactly is the relationship between Fiona and Manaphy? They're not on the evolutionary chain?
"The Prince of the Sea? That sounds impressive, but I've never heard of such a Pokémon before!"

[It's normal that you don't know much about this Pokémon unless you're a seasoned Water-type Trainer or spend a lot of time at sea. I know a little about it too, but they call it Sea Angel, and it's said that encountering it at sea will bring good fortune!]

[Wait, are princes and commoners... the same species of Pokémon? How come there's a class difference?]

The audience was talking a lot.

Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but smile as he watched the comments. After so many days, he had finally encountered a rather interesting Pokémon.

"Isn't it normal for Pokémon of the same species to have class differences? Even if they have the same form, there are ordinary, elite, strong, and dominant ones. It's not uncommon for individual Pokémon to have different forms and distinctions. After all, Pokémon with exceptional talents often show this in their appearance."

As for the relationship between Manaphy and Fiona, a prince and a commoner, surrounded by admirers, there are many similar cases... for example, Little Diamond and Diancie, which is like the difference between a commoner and a princess.

Diancie... What kind of Pokémon is that? I've never heard of it before!

I have tried Anmuxi before.

Wait a minute, host, do you mean that besides the blue Water-type Pokémon in the photo, DiamondCrush also has a similar situation?

[Don't forget the murals in the magnificent cave. Although the host didn't specifically mention them, that tiny diamond surrounded by so many sparkling stones is clearly no ordinary piece; it's probably something like a Manaphy crystal!]

Seeing the reactions in the live chat, Ye Yinchuan was slightly taken aback. His knowledge of Pokémon was too advanced, which could also lead to the "curse of knowledge"...

That is to take for granted that what you know is what everyone knows, to the point that you forget that you haven't properly explained the Diancie incident in the live stream!

It's not a big problem. The audience is so perceptive that even in this situation, some people can understand and even explain the situation to you.

"Indeed, Diancie is a special individual among the small diamonds, extremely rare and mysterious. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the princess of the Diamond Kingdom."

[The prince of the sea, the princess of the diamond kingdom? Interesting.]

“Manaphy...Fiona…”

Xi Lu murmured, repeating the name Ye Yinchuan had mentioned, as if trying hard to remember it.

"Mr. Snorlax, what is the relationship between these two Pokémon you mentioned? Are there any unknown secrets about them?"

In response to Xi Lu's question, Ye Yinchuan simply replied:
"You still haven't told me why Pokémon is so important to you."

Although the audience's curiosity and thirst for knowledge had reached their peak, Ye Yinchuan maintained his own pace.

"Miss Silu..."

At this very moment, in another scene, Seth, the mixed-race boy who had met Ye Yinchuan before and helped Milos learn surfing ahead of time, appeared beside Silu, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Ye Yinchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, able to tell that there was definitely some little-known connection between Xi Lu and Manaphy...

As someone close to Xilu, Seth actually knew some of the details.

"It's okay, so much time has passed, there's nothing we can't face."

Xilu responded to Seth, indicating that she had no problem, but the subconscious reaction of slightly biting her teeth showed that this matter was slightly difficult for her to talk about, especially in front of so many viewers in the live broadcast room.

"Or, you can tell me privately."

Ye Yinchuan was meticulous and noticed the other party's situation. He didn't want to force the other party, after all, he couldn't become too unscrupulous for the sake of the live broadcast effect.

In fact, Ye Yinchuan was only aware of the Growlithe incident later. It was rather inappropriate for him to expose such a special Pokémon ability in his live stream.

After all, if some evil organization were watching his live stream and immediately went to cause trouble for the delivery guy after getting the news, it would be too late for him to regret it, and he would have made a big mistake.

Therefore, Ye Yinchuan also reflected on himself and decided that if he encountered a similar situation again in the future, he would consider it more carefully and be more cautious.

"It's okay, this is a problem I need to face personally, it's alright to talk about it..."

Xi Lu took a slight breath.

“That was when I was very young… My father, the former Gym Leader of Crystal City, disappeared completely after a sea expedition… Before he disappeared, he made a video call to my mother, but I was home alone at the time, so I answered the call…”

"The waves were huge back then, the sea was turbulent, and there was torrential rain... I will never forget that my father told me that he was sorry for us, that he couldn't come back, and asked me to pass the message on to my mother..."

"Then the ship was capsized by a huge wave. In the last moment before the video cut off, I saw a golden whirlpool appear on the seabed, and a blue Pokémon appeared, flying upwards like an elf, supporting my father..."

“I told the adults about it. I believed that my father must not be dead. Maybe he was taken to another place by that Pokémon… But the adults just thought that what I said was just a child’s fantasy that he didn’t want to face…”

"In order to find my father, I strive to become a professional trainer as good as him, and I work hard to collect clues and information about that Pokémon... Finally, I found a record of that Pokémon in some ancient documents... The Prince of the Sea, Manaphy!"

"But ancient texts describe Manaphy as having golden markings on its body, making it look extremely luxurious, which is why I had my question earlier..."

"That's why I care so much about this Pokémon!"

Hearing Xi Lu's words, Ye Yinchuan suddenly realized that she was searching for her missing father. If that's the case, Xi Lu's father must have encountered an accident at sea, but happened to meet the prince of the vast ocean, Manaphy…

"Wait a minute? It's not just a rumor online that your eyes are related to the mysterious Pokémon you encountered as a child. If it was your father who met Manaphy, then who was the mysterious Pokémon you met? Or is all of this just baseless speculation?"

Ye Yinchuan seemed to have caught something amiss. At this rate, the rumor about this Xilu Pavilion Master didn't seem to make any sense at all!

Upon hearing Ye Yinchuan's question, a fleeting sadness crossed Xi Lu's face:

“I haven’t encountered any mysterious Pokémon, and my eyes weren’t like this from birth. After my father disappeared, I secretly ran to the beach and was accidentally swept away by the tide… When I woke up, I was still on the beach. I was very sick, and that’s how my eyes became like this… I can’t remember exactly what happened, but vaguely, I seem to remember seeing my father and seeing golden whirlpools…”

"So there were two things?"

Ye Yinchuan had roughly figured it out: Xi Lu's eyes had undergone a peculiar change after she nearly drowned at the beach…

According to Xi Lu's supplementary information and her own account, her eyes were the normal dark brown of a Chinese person when she was a child. After she drowned, her eyes turned into blue-gold heterochromia. As for her hair, it was originally black, but she dyed it blonde to better match her eyes.

"Ahem, I see. That makes sense. Everyone loves beauty, especially girls."

Xilu's experiences are indeed legendary, especially her father, who was the previous head of the Jingxi Dojo, which is quite remarkable.

[Wait a minute, I have a question. Miss Shilu's father is the Gym Leader of Crystal City, so he should be quite strong. If he's qualified to go to sea, he must have powerful Water-type Pokémon, right? How could she have drowned just because the boat capsized?] [I also have a question. Shouldn't the beach be considered a wild area? How could Shilu, as a child, bypass the outposts and run into the wild?]

Regarding the first question, Sil couldn't answer it, only explaining that his father hadn't sent out any Water-type Pokémon at the time, and he hadn't seen any of his Pokémon around.

Regarding the second question, Xilu explained that the control of the wilderness area was not so strict at that time, and her father, as the head of the Crystal Tide Gym, knew the area near the Tideshore very well. He often bypassed the outposts and took her to play in the wilderness area.

[This father is hard to judge. As the head of a museum, his disregard for rules almost led to his daughter's death!]

[Upstairs, you're being too rigid. What's wrong with someone with the strength of a gym leader taking their daughter for a stroll in the wilderness? It's just that no one could have predicted what happened next.]

"Everyone, please be mindful of the past and don't dwell on it. There's nothing to get hung up on."

Ye Yinchuan told the live chat to stop.

It's somewhat unfair to condemn a daughter whose father has disappeared.

"I understand, Miss Xilu. I hope what I'm about to say will be of some help to you."

While broadcasting live, Ye Yinchuan observed the surrounding sea. After all, the sighting photos of Fiona were taken here, and if he was lucky, he might just bump into her...

That would make the rest of the live stream much smoother. After all, talking a million words to thin air is not as good as actually meeting a Phiona. If we can meet the prince of the sea, Manaphy, then without a doubt, today's live stream will have a climax!
Ye Yinchuan could vaguely sense that his live-streaming system was not as simple as it seemed. First of all, the live stream was almost never interrupted by external forces. As long as Ye Yinchuan did not actively interrupt it, even if the fighting here was chaotic and the world was destroyed, the live stream would not be greatly affected...

Secondly, Ye Yinchuan strongly suspected that the live-streaming system could increase his chances of encountering rare Pokémon. This was especially noticeable when he was exploring the wild on his own; during a single live stream, he might encounter several times more rare Pokémon than others…

Ye Yinchuan encountered rare Pokémon that others could never find, all while streaming his livestream. And with the system's capabilities, he was able to capture them effortlessly…

Ye Yinchuan didn't believe that the system hadn't subtly adjusted the probabilities at all, unless he was truly the chosen one...

Just as Ye Yinchuan was about to speak and reveal some information about Manaphy and Fiona...

An unusual scene appeared in the live stream: a feather-like object burning with black flames drifted down from the sky...

In an instant, Ye Yinchuan's hair stood on end.

Because this thing is clearly none other than the feather of the Dark Phoenix King!

"Could it be that Blackie isn't quite dead yet? Or is Dark Phoenix King nearby...?"

The Dark Phoenix King, Xiao Hei, and the Dark Phoenix King behind him are undoubtedly the strongest enemies Ye Yinchuan has ever encountered.

"Excuse me, just interrupting for a moment..."

Ye Yinchuan followed the direction where the Dark Phoenix King's feathers fell, but saw nothing but some discarded household waste, such as beverage bottles and food packaging.

"Someone has been here? And there are even Dark Phoenix feathers that have fallen here..."

Ye Yinchuan was secretly alarmed, but looking at the vast sea, he felt somewhat at a loss.

Soon, as he looked at the seaweed floating on the sea, something suddenly occurred to him. A forest-green light flickered in his eyes, not eerie or ferocious, but rather revealing an aura of divinity...

This is a blessing from the shrine; Ye Yinchuan is able to gain a visual view of plants for a period of time by observing them…

Well, seaweed and seagrass are plants, right?
"This is……"

In Ye Yinchuan's view, a trainer was floating on the sea, eating food and water, and grumbling.

Ye Yinchuan recognized the trainer as the heartless old man he had previously taught a lesson for abusing Sobble.

Although one can see what is happening through the blessing power of the rabbi, one can only see the images but not hear the sounds, just like a color silent film.

"Why is this guy still here... I have a feeling he's cursing me? Wait, is he trying to avoid being caught, so instead of turning himself in, he's planning to hide in the wilderness or even escape from somewhere else?"

The thought popped into Ye Yinchuan's mind, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap, you can do that?" Truly, shamelessness knows no bounds; this bastard...

When the Ho-Oh feather fell and was caught in the middle-aged trainer's hand, who was overjoyed, Ye Yinchuan's expression began to falter...

Another Dark Phoenix King envoy?

Is the Dark Phoenix indiscriminate in its use, or is it blind?
After a moment of silence, Ye Yinchuan made a phone call:
"Hello, is this Brother Jie? Yes, thank you for your help..."

Although Ye Yinchuan was willing to dig three feet into the ground to find and eliminate this middle-aged trainer, upon closer reflection, he might not have the energy or the authority to enforce the law, and might even face a backlash...

As the saying goes, leave professional matters to professionals. Ye Yinchuan didn't report it to the Pokémon Center, but instead contacted A-Jie, the special envoy who was secretly protecting him because of his status as Ho-Oh's envoy. He believed that with A-Jie's position and abilities, he should be able to handle it.

"no problem."

The voice on the other end of the phone made Ye Yinchuan feel very reliable. This A-Jie had been protecting him in secret, but had kept a certain distance and had not interfered with his life. He was quite mysterious.

After dealing with the matter, Ye Yinchuan briefly explained the situation to the audience and Xi Lu, then turned back...

Just then, a blue Pokémon appeared in the distance, peeking out to observe its surroundings...

"The host... is Fiona!"

When Xilu saw Fiona, her whole body trembled, and her pupils suddenly focused.

Ye Yinchuan wasn't too surprised; with all the necessary elements in place, encountering Fiona was to be expected...

However, the next moment, a change occurred that surprised him and the viewers in the live stream once again.

Several more heads emerged from the water, revealing themselves to be other Phiona individuals!
We encountered Fiona, not just one, but a whole group!
[Host, what's the relationship between Phionella and Manaphy? Isn't it an evolutionary chain? How come there are so many Phionella?!]

Seeing the question in the comments, Ye Yinchuan's heart stirred. Indeed, even before his transmigration, many people mistakenly believed that Phiona could evolve into Manaphy...

After all, Manaphy can lay eggs, which hatch into Phiona...

But that's not actually the case!
