Live treasure appraisal: You are such an elf!

Chapter 423 The Invincible Team Battle Brought by "Mind Swap"! A Victory Without Losses! Manaphy's Egg Has Hatched!
"Manaphy, even at the Pokémon Egg stage, can it still use the 'Mind Swap' ability?!"

Ye Yinchuan was overjoyed, because at this moment, he entered an extremely subtle state, feeling as if he had become a Manaphy egg, or as if he had become a certain woman!
"This feeling is... Manaphy longs to protect his companions and doesn't want to be a burden!"

“I understand Miss Silu’s feelings. She wants to protect Manaphy and Fiona and find clues about her missing father!”

"No, there are even Phiones... my Pokémon, and even Miss Sil's Pokémon!"

At this moment, Ye Yinchuan felt a sense of exhilarating clarity, as if countless invisible networks had appeared in the air, connecting him with Manaphy's eggs, Phiones, the unknown Shilu, and their respective Pokémon on a spiritual level...

"Great! If that's the case, then my commands can be perfectly transmitted to the Pokémon, and I can also share information with everyone. Perhaps... we really can achieve zero casualties!"

In a daze, Ye Yinchuan suddenly realized that Manaphy's "mind swapping" was, to some extent, a much more powerful ability than his own "listening to one's own mind." The latter was one-way, while the former... was two-way, and could even form a "network"!
"If I can subdue Manaphy, then our team will be invincible in battle!"

It's only natural to want to capture powerful and rare Pokémon, a fact Ye Yinchuan never shied away from.

"Wait a minute... will my current feelings also be transmitted to Manaphy and Miss Sylvie through 'mind exchange'...?"

Thinking of this, Ye Yinchuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Although catching Pokémon is an open and honest thing, it is a little awkward to openly expose this thought to the Pokémon you want to catch and to the person who values ​​that Pokémon so much!
"Okay, I won't force you."

Ye Yinchuan silently recited this in his heart.

Because of the "mind swap," he was able to receive what Manaphy and Silu were thinking without delay.

Manaphy has the potential to become the king of the ocean in the future. It carries an important mission: it must complete its pilgrimage to ensure the continuation of its species and the balance of the marine ecosystem. Therefore, it clearly refuses Ye Yinchuan's attempt to subdue it.

As for Xi Lu, her main concern was whether Manafei knew her father's whereabouts. She didn't react much to Ye Yinchuan's desire to take Manafei back.

Manaphy's response can be summarized as follows:

Miss Shilu, I can sense an incredibly close connection between you and our people. I'm also certain that your father encountered members of my clan. However, I haven't hatched yet, and my power is still too weak. Perhaps in the future I can use my "mind-swapping" ability to help you inquire about other members of our clan. In fact, it's quite possible that I'll need your help...

"Anyway, let's deal with the enemy in front of us together. Manaphy, what can you do? Can you directly turn the opposing Pokémon against you? Miss Shilu, how long until you get here? Can we launch a surprise attack?"

Ye Yinchuan had already conveyed the true nature of this group of "Marine Conservation Association members" through his telepathic message. The next step was to unite against the common enemy and defeat them!

"Miss Silu, you're in position..."

Ye Yinchuan looked around again but did not see Xi Lu. But don't forget, Xi Lu had demonstrated her long-range sniping ability when facing the Dark Phoenix Envoy Xiao Hei.

At this moment, the light emanating from the Manaphy egg clearly attracted the attention of the group of "marine conservationists".

"Take the egg away, you bastard!"

Ye Yinchuan gave the command to Erguipeng, who was very agile. It leaped off Milotic's back and released a vine whip in mid-air, which wrapped around the egg in Flashy Phione's hand.

The group of people opposite them were clearly taken aback.

"What do you mean by this? Do you want to keep Manaphy's eggs for yourself? You should be live-streaming, right? Tens of thousands of viewers are watching! Only by handing the eggs over to our marine conservation association can they be properly handled!"

Ye Yinchuan smiled as Egui Peng handed him the egg.

The reason it was so easy to succeed was not just because Egui Peng was agile, but because everything was coordinated with Flashy Phiona and the others. It was a smokescreen to confuse the enemy.

"Properly handled? Then can you explain what happened to the injured Pokémon in that cabin? I heard their cries for help!"

Upon hearing this, the other person's expression changed instantly, and a vicious glint appeared in their eyes:

"As expected of the Phoenix King's messenger, but we, the 'Source of Life,' are determined to have Manaphy's egg! Only by obtaining the legendary 'King of the Sea' can the ocean become even more prosperous and magnificent!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan's pupils contracted.

The evil organization "Lifesource" echoes the existence of "Team Aqua" in the original Pokémon world. Protecting the ocean is their disguise; their true purpose is to expand the ocean's territory and turn the world into a vast ocean!
"Now that you know I am the Phoenix King's envoy, why don't you run away?"

Faced with the evil organization, Ye Yinchuan did not show fear or back down, but rather a hint of disdain.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from the air, and the sound was somewhat familiar to the viewers in the live stream...

It's very simple, because that's how Xiao Hei, the Dark Phoenix King's envoy, was tricked!
Upon hearing the sound, the members of "Life Source Stream" were also startled and terrified, but by the time they noticed, it was too late. Two powerfully compressed water cannons pierced directly through the two Pokémon present.

Gyarados, the strongest fighter, is level 45.
The gigantic whale king is not to be underestimated;
Moreover, both water cannons precisely pierced their lungs. Compared to organs like the brain and heart, the lungs of Pokémon don't kill instantly, but they can effectively render them unable to move. The intense pain and difficulty breathing make it difficult for them to even mobilize their energy, unless they are individuals with extremely strong willpower...

In short, these two powerful combat units on the opposing side were rendered ineffective in that instant...

This was only under the condition that Xi Lu was merciful; otherwise, aiming directly at the heart or brain would have been a sure kill, leaving no room for retreat... just like when she once sniped Xiao Hei, the Dark Phoenix King!
By the way, the one who did all this was not Silly herself, but her Pokémon, Dratini!
It seems that after being chased and injured by Xiao Hei, the Dark Phoenix King's envoy, last time, it recovered quickly. At least dealing with these small fry is not a big problem!

Xilu's surprise attack also signifies that the battle has officially begun.

But as expected, the ensuing battle turned out to be one-sided.

With the opposing team having lost two key players, and Ye Yinchuan having obtained all their intelligence and sharing it with our Pokémon without delay, we've gained a huge advantage in terms of information...

You can almost always predict what threatening moves your opponent might make and prepare in advance, which is a huge advantage in the ever-changing nature of battle.

For example, the moment Primarina unleashed "Charm," Milotic activated "Mystic Protection," shielding allies from the song's influence...

Meanwhile, the Evil Phantom used its mobility to rush up to the dragon. The water cannons that the West Lion Sea Ren released through its song were easily smashed by the Evil Phantom wielding its club, as casually as cutting fruit. When it reached the West Lion Sea Ren, it would strike it on the head with a series of blows.

Primarin was then overwhelmed and forced to take hits. Although Grimmsnarl's level was slightly lower, its legendary Pokémon base stats were incredibly high, and Ye Yinchuan had already used Influence Points to max out its IVs, minimizing the level difference... Not to mention, Whimsicott and Miss Fortune were providing a barrage of buffs like "Tailwind," "Growth," and "Helping Hands"...

Oh, I almost forgot, Evil Pine is a Grass-type, and it can also counter Primarina, which is Water-type!

The elusive dragon soared directly, displaying outstanding performance!
The white sea lion, having mastered "Absolute Zero," saw the fierce attack from the Evil Phantom and wanted to instantly kill it to relieve the Primarina's predicament. However, Ye Yinchuan's Adolphin used "Lightweight" to accelerate itself and then headbutted the white sea lion's "Absolute Zero" at close range...

That's right, it's a direct hit!
As a Rock-Steel type Pokémon, Crestor is not afraid of the freezing effect of "Absolute Zero" in this world's logic. Moreover, Crestor has the overpowered trait "Mithril Body," which can resist most negative status effects. "Absolute Zero" is essentially a move that uses a negative status effect to achieve a one-hit kill or near-death effect...

Click!

Kodora's body was frozen by extreme energy, including the critical areas, but as the brilliant mithril light flowed across Kodora's body, these frozen parts gradually began to melt away...

Fearing that Adolphin was too slow, Ye Yinchuan directly grabbed Ho-Oh Feather and unleashed a "Holy Fire" to help Adolphin thaw out. Once thawed, Adolphin unleashed a barrage of attacks on Dewl. How could Dewl, with its flesh and blood, possibly be a match for the Steel Rock type Adolphin in close combat?

Neither teeth nor horns can effectively damage Arknights, which is the domineering nature of Steel-type Pokémon. Ice-type moves are also generally ineffective because Ye Yinchuan's Arknights is very special and is not susceptible to control effects. How can the opponent not be angry?
In addition, Ye Yinchuan's two biggest combat forces are Milotic and Sniper Tree Owl.

The stinging jellyfish tried to launch its stinger to attack, but the sniper tree owl preemptively struck, immobilizing it with a "Shadow Strike" followed by an instant "Leaf Storm," rendering it unable to fight back.

Faced with Starmie's ray attack, Milotic countered with a Water Pulse, followed by a Tornado that knocked Starmie down. Then came a powerful Water Tail that extended the attack's range, slamming Starmie into the water. Finally, a Bind to finish the job, rendering Starmie immobile!

Whimsicott and Miss Skirt also fully utilize their support roles in battle. In addition to unleashing some buffing moves for allies, they each have their own signature moves to annoy and restrict opponents, such as "Paralyzing Powder" and "Hypnotic Powder." Other offensive moves can also be used for restriction, such as "Energy Ball" and "Leaf Storm," etc.

Wow, that's terrifying combat ability! The opponent has absolutely no chance to defend themselves!

[This is it? Trying to scam the Phoenix King's messenger? I could do that too!]

[What was that thing that was launched from a distance and instantly killed Gyarados and Wailord? The sea was stained red with blood. Was it killed outright?]

When Sylu arrived riding Laplace and saw that the battle was over, she couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. Kirby's combat prowess in appraising treasures had already been demonstrated when she fought against the Dark Phoenix, and now it had been proven even more formidable...

"Its future growth potential is limitless..."

Those members of "Source of Life" originally wanted to run back to the cabin, but they were all pinned to the spot by Ye Yinchuan's sniper tree owl using "Shadow Stitch"...

The only one who escaped was the man in the leather jacket, who actually jumped into the sea, which was something that couldn't be stopped.

"Whale King ran away with him? He even abandoned his own starfish?"

Ye Yinchuan observed for a moment and found that the Gyarados had surfaced and was motionless, severely injured and on the verge of death, but Wailord was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Yinchuan was already quite satisfied with the results achieved with almost zero casualties. He wasn't too bothered by the one who slipped through the net, but he could clearly sense that the man in the leather jacket was slightly different in temperament from the other henchmen... Could he be considered an elite monster?
At this moment, the Fiona cheered and jumped for joy, happy for the victory in the battle. At the same time, they looked at Ye Yinchuan and Xilu with gratitude in their eyes.

They have been pursued by their opponent for some time now. The opponent is quite powerful. After a failed encounter, Shiny Phione had no choice but to avoid battle. It managed to hold off the opponent for a while by commanding the Pokémon in the surrounding ocean. It was only because the opponent did not want to damage Manaphy's egg that it was able to hold on until now.

"Manaphy's egg..."

Ye Yinchuan never imagined that one day he would be able to get so close to the egg of a mythical Pokémon, and that it was a Pokémon with the potential to become the future "King of the Sea," whose status even surpassed that of the powerless Kyogre!

At that moment, the egg in his hand emitted an even stronger light, and golden ripples spread outwards from the egg in Manaphy along the surrounding waves...

Cracks appeared on the egg.

Ye Yinchuan and Xi Lu both held their breath slightly; judging from this, it was about to hatch!
With a clear crack, the egg's surface split open rapidly, and then the entire egg seemed to dissolve into energy. What remained in Ye Yinchuan's arms was a blue sprite curled up like a baby. Its appearance was very similar to Fiona, but there were also obvious differences. Its face had golden markings, corresponding to its egg-like form...

Its tentacles are also different from those of Fiona. Fiona's tentacles are like a ribbon, while Manaphy's tentacles are divided into two strands, and the ends are spherical.
