Live treasure appraisal: You are such an elf!

Chapter 432 The Crying Tears-Eyed Lizard? The Ancestor of the Soul-Snatching Eye? The Uniqueness and Power of the Twilight Form Lycanroc!
"That's right. For an ordinary trainer, raising a Dusk Mode Lycanroc is like finding a needle in a haystack. Even I have to admit that there's an element of gambling involved."

Ye Yinchuan was quite frank; he always preferred to explain things clearly to his viewers to prevent anyone from getting carried away after watching his livestream and obsessively pursuing a rare Pokémon.
"But no matter what, I will teach you the method so that if you really encounter that opportunity, you will be able to seize it."

[Alright! Ms. Kirby is about to start class again! Students, grab your notebooks and listen carefully!]

[Thank you so much for the streamer's selfless contribution! I absolutely love this Twilight Form Lycanroc. If I ever have the chance to raise one, I'll definitely come back and give it a reward!]

At this very moment, many people watching Ye Yinchuan's live stream have already started recording and sharing this Pokémon news with their social circles.

In addition to daytime and nighttime forms, Rockruff has a third form called Dusk Mode, which combines the characteristics of both daytime and nighttime. Streamer Kirby is currently sharing how to breed a Dusk Mane Rockruff!
Rockruff is quite popular because it's cute, but it's difficult to evolve. Evolving into Day and Night forms is not an easy thing, and many ordinary people don't even know that it has two evolutionary forms...

Not to mention the third form of twilight!

Whether they are ordinary people, researchers who specialize in studying Pokémon, or those who raise Rockruff or have bred two other forms of Lycanroc, they can't help but pay attention to this event, and a large amount of traffic is attracted to the live stream.

"Let's talk briefly, since our outdoor adventure continues today. Otherwise, we won't have much time left after sunset, and we still need to pick up my mom from the 'Hook-Eyes' camp."

Looking at the surge in live stream viewers, Ye Yinchuan remained calm; this level of traffic growth was nothing to him.

This serves as a psychological preparation for the audience, preventing anyone from feeling that there's a lot of hype but little substance.

"First, as I mentioned, for Lycanroc to evolve into its Dusk Mode, it must at least possess the 'Self-Reliant' ability. Pokémon with this ability have an extremely strong sense of self, are unaffected by Intimidate or Aura, and are immune to special effects like 'Confusion'..."

It is a trait that can influence personality, but due to individual differences, it can manifest differently.

For example, my rockdog, even with its "go-it-yourself" nature, gets sad and upset when rejected by the pack... but precisely because of this trait, it still tirelessly lingers near the pack and doesn't leave.

[This sounds a bit abstract, but this characteristic isn't very strong, is it?]

[It feels a little bit like a Pokémon with an "Adamant" personality.]

To put it bluntly, it's just stubbornness, isn't it?

"It's not necessarily about being stubborn, but in human terms, it means having a strong sense of self, knowing who you are, knowing what your purpose is, and not being easily influenced by others or the external environment."

"Also, don't be fooled by the Dusk Mane Lycanroc's appearance, which is closer to its Daytime form. In reality, just as it combines the appearances of both, it can be both calm and ferocious. Once the battle begins, it becomes as frenzied as the Night Mane Lycanroc, using close combat and making good use of 'Double Strike' and headbutt and claw attacks, which will give its enemies a real headache..."

"Of course, with proper guidance from the trainer, it is also possible to develop a Dusk Lycanroc that matches its daytime form, exhibiting a calm and hunting side. It can use ranged Rock-type moves or employ stealthy attacks to wear down the enemy until they are exhausted before delivering a fatal blow!"

[This form is really awesome!]

Indeed, possessing a Dusk Form Lycanroc is equivalent to having both Day and Night Forms simultaneously—one is equivalent to two! It's simply outstanding!

[Looking forward to the battle of the Twilight Mane Lycanroc! Streamer, you absolutely must give it a chance to shine!]

Seeing the last comment, Ye Yinchuan nodded. He had more and more Pokémon, and from the perspective of the live stream's entertainment value, he definitely needed to show them off more. Otherwise, like his Rockruff, which evolved into such a powerful and rare Dusk Mode, but rarely had the chance to show off, wouldn't that be like drawing an SSR card in the game and then throwing it into the warehouse to collect dust?
Actually, it's not Ye Yinchuan's fault. It's mainly because his Pokémon are all too well-rounded, especially the first few...

You agree, right, Milotic?

At this moment, Minas, a beautiful fairy, is relaxing and rejuvenating in the waters of the tourist park, surrounded by tourists who have come from far and wide.

Milotic rose from the water, creating beautiful ripples. Its scales shimmered with iridescent colors in the sunlight, and its eyes were noble and elegant, yet revealed a hint of longing for its trainer.

"Hey, did you guys notice? When did Milotic get a golden spot on his forehead? You have to admit, it's actually quite pretty..."

"That's right, I don't think I had this feature before!"

The park staff, along with observant tourists, gradually noticed this small detail...

In fact, the golden markings on Milotic's head are very similar to the markings on Manaphy's face.

Indeed, Ye Yinchuan obtained the precious treasure "Ocean Scale" from Manaphy. As a portable item, it can be carried by Pokémon, so Ye Yinchuan did not hesitate much and put it on Milotic.

Milotic, as one of its veteran Pokémon and a hard-working member who frequently puts in the effort, naturally deserves such treatment.

"Woooooooo..."

"What's wrong? I can't stop crying!"

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the sightseeing park, and all the tourists from Shiyan were in tears.

"Oh no! The teardrop lizard suddenly started crying for some reason, and the tear-inducing effect of its tears has made the audience cry!"

A staff member shouted anxiously.

"Can anyone think of a solution?!"

Milotic sensed the commotion and immediately sprang into action. Because the park was full of waterways, Milotic had a lot of freedom of movement, and with its extremely fast swimming speed, it arrived at the location of the teardrop lizard in almost an instant.

With its rainbow-like tail, Milotic curled up the crying Sobble and brought it to its side, as if cradling a baby. Milotic looked at the Sobble with loving eyes and then let out a soft call, asking what was wrong with the sobble.

The teardrop, comforted by Milotic, gradually calmed down and stopped crying.

It turns out that a naughty little boy had just tried to throw a piece of candy to the sob lizard, but he was too clumsy and almost hit the sob lizard, scaring it.

Milotic looked around and saw the child holding candy, crying in his eyes, looking somewhat lost. Its gaze was peaceful and compassionate.

It spoke again, and what came out was a heavenly song. At this moment, the Sobble was touched by Milotic's song and stopped crying completely, and the child who had made a mistake gradually calmed down.

Milotic possesses the power to quell conflict.

Its sincere singing seemed to build a bridge of tacit understanding.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. My child has caused you so much trouble. I didn't know he would hide candy in his pants..."

Staff reviewed the surveillance footage and discovered the truth. The child's mother repeatedly bowed and apologized.

“Mr. Kabi said that if anyone causes trouble for the park but it was unintentional, they can help manage the park and do some work to make up for it.”

Lin Sen, the designer of the Kirby Park project and now one of the agents for Kirby Park, presented the solution left by Ye Yinchuan when asked by staff about the handling method. "Mr. Ye, you really had foresight."

After the staff left, Lin Sen murmured to himself with emotion. He held a thick stack of design drafts in his hand. He was now not only in charge of the construction of the actual Kirby Park, but also fully responsible for the design of the tourist attractions needed for Ye Yinchuan's next tourist area plan.

……

"I wonder how the Pokémon are doing at Snorlax Park, especially Sobble, that crybaby. I hope it's adjusting well. Milotic will take care of it, so I shouldn't worry too much."

Perhaps it was a telepathic connection, but Ye Yinchuan was also somewhat distracted at this moment.

"Don't worry, I'll try my best to let every Pokémon I catch appear on camera and give them a chance to perform. I won't give up on training any Pokémon..."

But I also need time. New friends who enjoy watching streamers' live broadcasts, or who like a particular Pokémon of the streamer, remember to follow! They go live every day on time!

While explaining this to the audience, Ye Yinchuan was also reminding himself that he could catch many Pokémon, but he absolutely could not forget any Pokémon in a deserted corner, as that would be too unfair to the Pokémon.

There's a saying that goes, "If you don't love someone, please don't hurt them..."

It may be a bit rustic, but the logic is sound.

"By the way, regarding what you all said about the 'Go Your Own Way' ability not being very powerful, I have something to say. Rockruff, after evolving into Duskmane Lycanroc, also has its ability evolve to 'Hard Claws'..."

This would make its claws and teeth, including the rocky blades on its body, harder and sharper, increasing the power of its physical contact attacks.

Is it really that amazing?

It seems that other forms of Lycanroc don't have this characteristic!

"Yes, while other Pokémon also possess the 'Hard Claw' ability, Lycanroc in its Day and Night forms generally doesn't have this ability; it's practically unique to its Dusk Form."

[This is amazing! This Twilight Form not only combines the advantages of the other two forms, but also has characteristics that the other two forms don't possess... Tsk tsk.]

Ye Yinchuan's explanation of the Rock Dog and the Dusk Mane Rock Wolf has come to a temporary end.

At this moment, Nosegate and Alola Golem had already shaken hands and made peace, as if they had become friends after a fight.

After all, the real purpose wasn't to fight for food, but to have a friendly competition; there was no need to fight to the death.

In the world of Pokémon, besides trainers using battles to solve various problems or simply enjoying battling... there are similar ways of interacting among Pokémon.

Although it may not be reflected much in Ye Yinchuan's life, battling will always be one of the important themes in this Pokémon world.

"Time to go, Big North."

Seeing the Pokémon getting along so well, Ye Yinchuan was quite pleased.

"boom……"

But he soon heard the unspoken message between the two Pokémon: they wanted to learn each other's moves.

After gesturing for a while, the Alola Golem indicated that the move Nosebridge had just used was very powerful, and it sincerely wanted to learn it. In exchange, it would also teach Nosebridge its own special move!

"Is this still possible?"

Ye Yinchuan was slightly surprised, although he knew that Pokémon could teach each other moves, especially those of the same species, with elders passing them on to younger ones...

But is this kind of cross-species teaching possible?

But upon closer inspection, it's not entirely impossible. After all, Alolan Golem and Proboscis have very similar types. Although one is Rock-Electric and the other is Steel-Rock, they actually have many overlapping aspects, such as their control of electricity and magnetism, and their proficiency in Rock-type moves...

"Alright, baby, it seems you and your new friend still have a lot to talk about. I'll give you some time and not disturb you for now..."

After explaining things to Da Chao Beibi, Ye Yinchuan changed direction and headed down another road to continue with his purpose for the day.

"This is……"

A small horned bird flew up and circled around Ye Yinchuan, who smiled slightly.

This is equivalent to having a GPS and communication device next to you, so that you won't have to worry about not being able to find each other's location in case of an emergency.

Don't let Big North's appearance fool you; despite his big nose and beard, he's actually quite meticulous.

As time went on, Ye Yinchuan's fondness for this Pokémon gradually increased.

……

"Gah!"

Soon, Ye Yinchuan arrived at the territory of the Soul-Hooking Eye. The gemstone deposits here were very rich, and a large part of them were even directly exposed on the rocks, looking shiny and very tempting.

Soul-Stealing Eyes rushed forward like a child eager to get home, finally seeing her beloved Soul-Stealing Eyes mother.

Inside the nest, Mother Sly Eyes was sitting in front of the rock wall, on which was drawn the same image Ye Yinchuan had seen before, depicting Diancie and Little Diamond.

Ye Yinchuan heard the voice of his mother, the one with the captivating eyes—

"I seem to hear it, that echo from the depths of the earth, the feeling of resonance in my blood is so familiar. Could it be that our Soul-Hooking Eye clan still has ancestors alive in this place? But how can I find the way down?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan's heart skipped a beat.

What does it mean?
Could there be some huge secret hidden here?

Memories resurfaced in Ye Yinchuan's mind. He hadn't forgotten the deep question that had arisen here last time, a question that remained unanswered to this day...

So what exactly is the relationship between the Soul Reaper and Diancie?
Why does the mural depict both harmonious coexistence and Diancie attacking Seraphim, creating such a contradictory situation?
