Live treasure appraisal: You are such an elf!

Chapter 426 Ice/Water Type Pokémon Egg? The egg's move "Blizzard" + ability "Ice Body" is amazing!
"Damn Pokémon Center, damn Snorlax Appraisal! If it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state!"
However, I should also thank you all. If it weren't for you, how could I have had the opportunity to become the Dark Phoenix King's messenger...

It's all because of you guys. I just wanted to be an ordinary trainer and make some money with Pokémon. What did I do wrong?

Thank you, Dark Phoenix. I will make good use of this opportunity. As for Blackie, you can rest easy. Showing up so arrogantly before you've even grown up, who else but you will die?
At this moment.

An older male trainer was lying on top of a Vaporeon, following Vaporeon as it rose to the surface of the sea.

Both he and Vaporeon were covered in wounds, and Vaporeon even had a wound that would be fatal to an ordinary Pokémon.

The blood stained the entire sea red, but when he looked back and saw that they weren't chasing him, he breathed a sigh of relief and cursed under his breath, releasing his resentment.

"Heaven has not forsaken me! Heaven has not forsaken me! I am the one destined by Heaven!"

At this point, Vaporeon had already undergone a transformation by the power of the Dark Phoenix, changing its form to resemble a monster from the water. Its eyes were fierce, turning dark green, and its claws and fangs became extremely sharp and prominent...

The biggest change is that countless sharp bone spurs have grown on its tail, resembling a vicious whip-like weapon.

Just then, a group of sharp-toothed fish, smelling the blood, gathered in this direction.

Seeing this, the middle-aged trainer didn't panic but laughed instead:

"You lowly Pokémon, do you think we can become food just because we're injured and bleeding? How foolish! Vaporeon, you've expended a lot of energy, you must be starving. Come on, don't be shy, this is all your food!"

Vaporeon's tail extended rapidly like a whip, carrying the power of water waves, launching a high-density attack on the group of sharp-toothed fish that appeared before it with an astonishing range and flexibility...

Before long, these sharp-toothed fish were cut into pieces and floated on the surface of the sea, turning the sea completely red.

Only one sharp-toothed fish survived, and its body shone with the light of evolution.

This sharp-toothed fish evolved into a giant shark, and its aura was extraordinary. It even used a Dragon-type move to fight back, which surprised and delighted the middle-aged trainer.

His smile was sinister:
"Suicune, leave one alive! I want it alive!"

And this Sharpedoa, or rather, the Megalodon, just happened to be the same Sharpedoa with Dragon-type genes that Ye Yinchuan had encountered before. It just so happened that this middle-aged trainer had run into it.

Meanwhile, the Vaporeon just devoured its companion, the Slug, right in front of the Megalodon.

Even though Sharpedoed and Megalodon are relatively bloodthirsty and ferocious Pokémon, this Megalodon was still angry and saddened to see its companion being eaten.

It resisted fiercely, but the mutated tail of the Vaporeon only dug deeper into its flesh, leaving deep bloody marks and cutting through its skin and muscles.

A period of torment.

The middle-aged trainer rode on the back of the Sharpedo, a smug smile on his face.

"The idea of ​​using love and friendship to sway Pokémon is utterly idiotic. Only children would have such unrealistic fantasies. Pokémon are real beasts..."

I witnessed my father being eaten alive by a wild Pokémon. How can you expect me to love and trust Pokémon? Only a powerful hand can subdue ferocious beasts!

"This world is a dog-eat-dog world. Humans and trainers alike should abide by this rule. In the past, I had no power and could only be a lower-middle-class person... Now, as the emissary of the Dark Ho-Oh, I will show you what the true path of the strong really is!"

"Oh no... they're chasing us again! They really are persistent. Do they really harbor such malice towards me, the messenger of the Dark Phoenix? You'd better not let me catch you off guard, or I will tear you to pieces!"

They saw figures chasing them from behind.

The middle-aged trainer rode Sharpedo away and continuously infused it with the power of Dark Ho-Oh, causing Sharpedo to mutate and turn evil...

The black flames defied the laws of physics, burning in the water. The fins on its body seemed to have been forged and refined, becoming sharp and twisted. Its eyes turned blackish-red, its teeth became incredibly sharp, and its muscles swelled and bulged, making it even more bloodthirsty and ferocious...

Its body was covered with shocking scars, exaggerated and hollow, marks left by the Dark Vaporeon...

By a twist of fate, or rather, due to some kind of mutation, the Megalodon's body was able to allow water to flow through quickly, reducing resistance!

……

Ye Yinchuan used the Ocean Scale to summon and find Pokémon that met the requirements. Many Pokémon were gathered, but a considerable number of them did not meet the requirements.

However, when a giant flying fish presented a Pokémon egg to Ye Yinchuan, his gaze immediately focused.

"Don't these Pokémon live in colder places with ice floes? How did they end up here? Did they drift here with the ocean currents? The key is that they're not even the same species as the Mantid!"

Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but wonder.

After confirming with the giant flying fish, it became clear that the giant flying fish had found the egg on the sea surface. Because it wasn't its own egg and it had no experience, the giant flying fish believed it didn't have the ability to raise it properly...

The other Pokémon that hatch will definitely be very small; it's too big to take care of them...

So the giant flying fish carried this egg with it, searching for its parents, but to no avail.

Now that Ye Yinchuan needs to gather Pokémon, Manta Ray plans to give this egg to him.

Although he cannot return to his biological parents, if this person handles the situation properly, it would be much better than him wandering at sea or staying by his side.

"The giant flying fish is really kind. Are big creatures usually more amiable?"

Ye Yinchuan nodded. If that were the case, it couldn't be more perfect.

As your gaze focuses on the egg, its control panel appears.

[What kind of egg is this, streamer? Is it a giant flying fish egg? Giant flying fish are hard to keep on land, right? Even if you keep them in water, there aren't many suitable environments besides the seaside.]

Seeing the confused comments, Ye Yinchuan responded that this was not the egg of the giant flying fish, but the egg of the seal ball.

Wow, a Sealball! It seems to be a Pokémon with three evolutions, a Water-type and an Ice-type. That's a pretty powerful Pokémon! But I wonder what the potential of this Sealball egg is!

[Wow, at least you've finally achieved something this time! I watched the streamer spend ages trying to communicate with the Pokémon, but without any success!]

Ye Yinchuan smiled:
"This seal ball egg is perfect, but whether to give it to a fan or a friend who needs it, I still need to discuss it further."

"But I can tell you, this Seal Egg is quite healthy. Judging from the texture and feel of its surface, as well as the Pokémon energy it exudes, it's at least an A-rank IV. As for its ability, let me take another look..."

Ye Yinchuan pretended for a moment, then gave his conclusion—

"This seal egg feels slightly cool to the touch; if I'm not mistaken, it likely possesses the 'Frozen Body' property."

[Frozen body. This should be quite common among Ice-type Pokémon.]

I just checked, and it seems many Seal Balls have the "Thick Fat" ability, while "Frozen Body" is more effective in battle, so this ability should be considered good!

"Yes, you understand correctly. The Frozen Body trait is quite good for Seal Ball..."

Compared to "Thick Fat," which primarily uses a thick layer of fat for protection against heat and cold, "Ice Body," while not providing heat protection, offers even better adaptability to cold environments, resulting in greater improvements in injury and energy recovery. Furthermore, in close combat, Pokémon with the "Ice Body" ability continuously release icy energy, affecting even Normal-type moves.

Even more impressively, Pokémon with this characteristic can more easily infuse ice-type energy into non-ice-type close-range moves, converting them into ice-type moves.

It's not without its drawbacks, as mentioned before: it's not heat-resistant, and its performance in various aspects will decrease in hotter climates...

However, there are ways to compensate. If one's own strength is great enough to generate sufficient cold, even influencing the environment, then one will not fear the heat.

[I see. So this is what people mean when they say that strong people never complain about their environment?]

[Sure, sure! I love watching streamers' live broadcasts. They explain things so clearly, it's like there's nothing they don't know!]

"Huh? Wait..."

Ye Yinchuan deliberately made a slightly surprised sound to convey to the audience that he seemed to have discovered something.

[Host, what's going on?]

After piquing the audience's attention and curiosity, Ye Yinchuan looked at the seal ball carefully again before revealing the other details about it.

"I just took a closer look at the surface of this seal egg. Although it looks fancy, if you look at all the white dots together, it looks like a blizzard."

As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan pointed the camera at the egg, showing it to the audience—

Just as he said, the surface of the sea-blue eggshell was covered with fine white spots, like snowflakes, arranged in a messy manner, just like a blizzard.

This suggests that this Seal Ball likely possesses the Egg Move "Blizzard".

These words caused another uproar among the audience.

[Blizzard, that's a really powerful move. If I remember correctly, its power is around 110 points!]

[The key is that if you master this move enough, you can alter your surroundings. Combined with the "Frozen Body" ability, wouldn't you be invincible?]

Ye Yinchuan expressed his approval.

He had long recognized the potential of this seal ball, but wanted to convey it to the audience in a gentler way.

With its "Ice Body" ability and the Egg Move "Blizzard," this Sealball is a powerful and promising Pokémon for battle.

[Host, this seal ball is just so-so. Please don't give it to a friend; consider it a treat for your fans!]

Now that the audience knows about the seal ball, they start to make faces.

On the other side, Hong Xing, the young master of the Hong Group, who was closely watching the live broadcast, also revealed a considerable degree of desire in his eyes after watching Ye Yinchuan examine the seal ball egg.

Although he hasn't paid much attention to Pokémon in recent years, these Pokémon, which are born with powerful moves and can be combined with their own abilities...

Even a layman knows how amazing it is, not to mention that Sealball is a Pokémon that, like the starter Pokémon, has a three-stage evolution. After evolving to its final form, its base stats are also quite impressive.

Although I did a quick search, I found that after Sealball evolves into its final form, Deino, it does look rather ugly, resembling a scruffy, sleazy, overweight middle-aged man...

But the name sounds powerful. So what if the image is slightly lacking, as long as the strength is strong enough?
"Mr. Ye, if I am fortunate enough to possess this Pokémon egg, I will cherish it!"

Hong Xing silently muttered to himself, but did not send any comments, private messages, or other means to ask Ye Yinchuan for ownership of the egg.

This is the ultimate form of respect, which means not trying to interfere with the other person's decision at all.

Ye Yinchuan was also struggling with this decision.

If it were out of respect for Hong Yang, he would definitely give the seal egg to his son without hesitation...

But Hung Hing was a little unconvinced; it was impossible for them to have no memory of it at all.

"Forget it, the average viewer might not be able to handle a powerful move like 'Blizzard,' and would need special permission. But for Hung Hing, that's not a problem."

Ye Yinchuan finally made his decision and told the audience the reasons for it without any concealment.

"I've been thinking about it. While this seal-shaped egg is impressive, it might not be practical for many of my viewers..."

Imagine having to pay for registration, and then having to guard against a Sealball's "Blizzard" destroying your home, or even causing injury or death to people and Pokémon...

Considering that, it might be more appropriate to give it to my friend. Of course, my assessment of this Pokémon egg may not be entirely accurate, but given the possibility, I'll try to find other Pokémon for you.

Uh, I also need to pay for registration. I almost forgot, that's definitely not suitable for me.

[But streamer, among your fans are professional trainers like me, you know.]

[Upstairs, when streamers offer freebies, they should consider the majority of viewers, right? So let's switch to a more suitable one.]

Hung Hing, who was watching the live stream intently, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the result, and a smile appeared on his face.

The money needed for registration, as well as the control over Pokémon with powerful abilities, were not major problems for him, the young master of the Red Group.

"Xiao Liu, call my dad now and tell him that the Pokémon Mr. Ye helped me find has been found. Tell him to let Mr. Ye know that I will prepare some gifts and send them to him. I hope he will accept them."

Thinking of this, Hung Hing couldn't help but tip 20 Masterballs.

The gift left a message saying: "The streamer's live broadcast is so exciting, I love watching it!"
Seeing this comment, Ye Yinchuan's lips twitched involuntarily. This "shill" was blatantly obvious, but the other party had directly gifted him 20 Master Balls, so at least he had some conscience...

After explaining things to the audience, Ye Yinchuan naturally accepted the seal ball's egg...

After seeing Ye Yinchuan accept the egg, the giant flying fish breathed a sigh of relief. It dragged its huge body in the water, flapped its wings, and left. During this process, it would occasionally look back. It had developed a certain affection for the egg during its time with it.

Ye Yinchuan continued his search for Pokémon suitable as a fan perk.

Just then, a very young ferret appeared in front of Ye Yinchuan.

This swimming ring weasel is strikingly shiny and bicolor.

"Family members, the perk you've been waiting for is here! Place an order during the live stream and we'll have a lucky draw to give away a shiny, multicolored swim ring weasel! How about that?!"
When Ye Yinchuan saw the shimmering, multicolored swim ring, for a fleeting moment, he wanted to possess it.

But the seal ball egg wasn't given to the fans as a treat, and now if they keep this shimmering swim ring weasel for themselves...

Ye Yinchuan is likely to be called a traitor by his fans!
