Live treasure appraisal: You are such an elf!

Chapter 475 Reveals the Evolution Method of the Drillhorn Rhinoceros! You Can't Even Withstand One Bump! Top-Grade Basalt Fruit?

At this stage, Super Boss Doraemon doesn't actually have many moves left to learn.

Its attack method is not complicated; it mainly uses the weight and strength of its steel behemoth body to launch impact-type attacks on its enemies...

At this moment, Super Aggron used the move "Slam".

This move was originally a Normal-type move, but by incorporating Steel-type energy and combining it with the user's physical strength, its power and nature undergo a qualitative change...

Simply put, the effect of a ramming attack is to inflict significant damage on the enemy while also damaging yourself.

But precisely because of his high physical strength, he can easily withstand that little bit of damage, or even ignore it, which makes this move highly effective with almost no side effects!
Such an impact is like a hundred-ton truck crashing into you.

[Such a powerful aura and overwhelming presence!]

Good heavens, who can handle this?

[However, the speed is a bit slow, even though it's a good service.]

Super Aggron's power and strength are unquestionable, but its speed is questionable.

This was expected by the public. After all, such a heavy Pokémon would inevitably sacrifice some speed. It would be truly unbelievable if it could be light and agile while dragging such a heavy body!

This situation did not surprise anyone, and many trainers nodded in agreement.

Advantages and disadvantages are both present; that's the norm.

But some viewers who know Ye Yinchuan, this "Boss Dora," couldn't help but type in the comments—

[Slow speed? Consider lightweight body design!]

Why aren't you using it? It's really all about attack power; can't speed also assist in attacking?

[Or is it that after super evolution, the body can no longer become lightweight?]

Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan replied:

"After all, it's an attack test. Let's see how much destructive power there is without speed boost first. Going all in right away... is that reasonable?"

Ye Yinchuan actually wanted to say that he was afraid the mutated rhinoceros could not withstand it, but saying such a thing would make him seem too arrogant and condescending.

In short, he knew what he was doing, and everything depended on his abilities.

Now that everyone is saying that Super Boss Doraemon's speed is not good, he is neither anxious nor annoyed, and there is no need for him to deliberately prove anything.

After all, the more you lack something, the more you want to show it off. And if you care too much about what others think, you'll end up living like someone else's underwear!
Super Aggron may seem slow, but that's only because of its enormous size. In reality, it's not that slow; it covers such a short distance in the blink of an eye...

Moreover, the impact of such a massive object will be slower at first, but once it gains momentum, it will become faster and faster.

This can be seen in the ultimate ability of Sion in a certain 5v5 league.

The Rhinoceros was under a lot of pressure facing the massive charge from the Super Aggron. If it had human skin, it would probably be covered in sweat by now.

Bang!
With a loud bang and billowing dust, Super Aggron slammed into Rhyhorn.

The rhinoceros was unable to withstand the force. It could only hold on for less than two breaths before it was thrown out of its original position and slammed into the rock wall behind it, leaving a crater with an exaggerated, cartoonish shape. Then, along with the rubble, it slowly slid down.

【Wow, it's over in seconds?】

[Just how much brute force is that? It doesn't look fast, but it's so powerful!]

Do you have some misunderstanding about power?

The trainer of the Rhinoceros was also taken aback. He was somewhat prepared, but still not prepared enough.

He rushed over to check the rhinoceros's injuries. Fortunately, apart from some scratches, the rest were not serious.

"This is good medicine. Use it on your rhinoceros."

Ye Yinchuan paid out of his own pocket, since it was for his own testing, and he had to take responsibility even if there were some minor setbacks.

"Thank you."

The other trainer didn't refuse too much; sometimes being too polite isn't good.

More importantly, he and others noticed that Ye Yinchuan's reputation was quietly rising.

The job of a live streamer is about building good relationships. Whether it's genuine or not, you have to present a friendly image in front of the camera.

But a fake is still a fake; given enough time, it can't be hidden.

"It seems we can't continue. My Rhinoceros can't even withstand a single ramming attack from your Mega Aggron. The difference in strength is too great. There's no point in continuing the test."

"Aren't many of our defensive moves still unused?"

"Isn't it the same on your end? Your Aggron also has offensive support abilities, but you haven't used them yet, have you?"

Hearing this answer, Ye Yinchuan nodded. Testing the attack could stop here.

However, the show's effect was somewhat weak. It wasn't that Bosscodora lacked the ability, but rather that it lacked a good testing ground.

What can be done then?

This rhinoceros with its drilled horn is already quite powerful, but crossing two life levels, it is indeed not a match for a single blow.

The difference in level is insignificant compared to the difference in life level!
This trainer clearly understood this, which is why he said those words.

"Actually, I have a way to help your horned rhinoceros evolve and improve, wouldn't that be great?"

Ye Yinchuan's casual remark immediately piqued the interest of the viewers in the live stream.

The trainer's eyes lit up.

[Evolution? It's that easy to evolve? Does the streamer mean to make the Rhinoceros Drillhorn Mega Evolve?]

[Indeed, the boost from Mega Evolution is much stronger than that from regular evolution, even if it's only temporary!]

[The streamer's every move is unpredictable; it's not always the case. For him, to evolve a Pokémon, all that's needed is for the conditions to be met, and he's the one who knows those conditions best!]

"how do I say this?"

This trainer almost deserves the title of godfather.

If Ye Yinchuan can really make his Diamond Horned Rhinoceros super evolve, even if he can't be his godfather, he can still be the Diamond Horned Rhinoceros's godfather!
"From the moment I first saw this Rhinoceros, I knew it had the potential to evolve. I didn't say anything just now because I wanted to test it out. As expected, its current strength is no match for my Super Aggron, which is understandable..."

After a slight pause, Ye Yinchuan got to the point, "Mega Evolution is a bit premature, because Mega Evolution is when a Pokémon's strength reaches its potential limit, and then uses the energy of Mega Evolution to break through and reach a new level of life... This Rhyhorn has clearly not reached its limit yet!"

Having said all that, how could the other trainer not understand the implication?
"Mr. Kirby, do you mean that my Rhyhorn can evolve once directly? Rhyhorn has subsequent evolutionary forms, the permanent kind, not just a temporary Mega Evolution!"

The other party was overjoyed.

While super evolution is powerful, it is ultimately subject to demanding conditions and cannot be maintained for long periods of time. The key point is that after super evolution, it basically reaches its limit.

But if it's ordinary evolution, though it's called ordinary, it's actually not ordinary at all. It's a real leap in life, a permanent improvement. And more importantly, love doesn't conflict with super evolution.

There will be another chance for super evolution in the future!
In this way, it's as if their horned rhinoceros suddenly has the possibility of two life leaps, and their future suddenly becomes bright.

So high!
"Dude, are you serious? I thought they were just kidding..."

Who else is the most entertaining streamer on the entire internet?

[Is this because they think the opponent's Pokémon aren't strong enough and they need to buff them on the spot? If someone else did this, I'd think it's amazing, but if it's you, Snorlax, I can only say "Awesome!"]

So, what are the evolutionary conditions for the Drillhorn Rhinoceros?

"Actually..."

Ye Yinchuan sighed slightly, "Strictly speaking, the mutation of this Drillhorn Rhinoceros cannot be called a mutation, but rather a kind of atavism. At some point in the past, Drillhorn Rhinoceroses could all evolve normally!"

Ye Yinchuan made up a bit of this statement, but it wasn't entirely a lie. After all, if this evolutionary form existed, then it must have existed in every era. There must have been a large number of Drill Horned Rhinoceroses that could evolve into Super Armored Rhinoceroses, otherwise the bloodline wouldn't have appeared out of nowhere.

[What! It seems the streamer has some ancient secrets to uncover again!]

What's it this time? Write it down in your notebook!

[I have a feeling the streamer is about to reveal the evolution conditions of Rhyhorn; he's always so ruthless... oh no, I mean so selfless in sharing!]

"I believe some of you have already guessed the key to the evolution of the Drillhorn Rhinoceros. It is the thickness of the skin on its body surface, that is, the armor of the Drillhorn Rhinoceros. Only when this skin reaches a sufficient thickness is there a possibility of evolution."

Is it that simple?

[Where's the simplicity? The rhinoceros's skin is its greatest asset. Do you know how much effort an ordinary individual needs to put in to increase its skin thickness even slightly?]

[Furthermore, there's no standard definition for what constitutes "sufficient thickness," is there?]

"Actually, there is a wicked method of cultivation, which is to use suitable soil and apply it to the skin of the Rhyhorn. The Rhyhorn will slowly absorb it, thereby increasing the thickness of its skin. The specific type of soil needed depends on the Rhyhorn's living environment. It is best to collect it from its usual habitat. If you can also add some materials that help the Pokémon's physical strength, the effect will be even better."

As Ye Yinchuan spoke, the trainers and researchers around him even took out their notebooks to take notes, nodding as they did so, just like students listening to a professor's lecture.

What is not widely known is that in the live broadcast room, in front of each mobile phone or computer screen, there are also many people recording.

If these scenes could be edited together, it would be very interesting.

[Mud bath? That sounds interesting!]

[You know what, it actually makes sense. After all, Rhyhorn is a Ground/Rock-type Pokémon, and its body is naturally made of rock and soil. If you cover it with mud of a similar texture, and it dries, wouldn't that increase the thickness of the rock and soil layer?]

[So, since I have a thick layer of skin on the soles of my feet after getting athlete's foot, would infecting a rhinoceros with fungus also increase the thickness of the skin?]

[If that's the case, then friction can also cause calluses, so does that mean we can rub things together more?]

The comments section was filled with enthusiastic discussion about Pokémon evolution.

Some of these ingenious ideas were so imaginative that they made Ye Yinchuan's mind open and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Let the rhinoceros bee get athlete's foot? Are you a devil! Friction does have some merit, but too little friction won't work, and too much friction might even thin the rhinoceros's skin..."

Ye Yinchuan briefly replied to the comments, then changed the subject:

"Even applying the right mud to a rhinoceros requires time and effort, so I don't have the time right now..."

Upon hearing this, the trainer of the Rhinoceros felt a pang of anxiety. Could it be that it wouldn't work?
Setting such high expectations for oneself only results in empty talk.

Although he was very grateful that Ye Yinchuan could provide the method of evolution, it was only natural to feel disappointed when his expectations were not met.

"Therefore, I have no choice but to use some more domineering methods."

After Ye Yinchuan uttered those words, his expression immediately soured, as if he, a high-level trainer, had been mentally manipulated...

"It's probably the streamer's speaking style; they like to talk with lots of pauses in their breathing..."

After silently complaining to himself, the trainer's gaze towards Ye Yinchuan was once again filled with eagerness.

[Oh? An even more domineering method?]

[Won't it be harmful to the Pokémon's body?]

What kind of fruit is it?

Looking at the last comment, Ye Yinchuan's face darkened slightly. "You guys predicted everything, so what am I supposed to broadcast?"
“I really can’t do anything with you guys… it’s all about berries. This Rhyhorn has plenty of evolutionary potential, so it doesn’t need too many fancy things. As long as it’s beneficial to Rock and Ground-type Pokémon, or even to Pokémon in general, and can provide a lot of nutrition and energy, that’s enough to stimulate its evolution! Unfortunately, I happen to have some suitable berries here.”

As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan began taking things out of his backpack again.

In reality, their hands have already reached into the dimensional pocket, which is the spirit space. With a thought, they can pick suitable berries. If the berries are not yet ripe, they can consume influence points to ripen them directly...

You can even buy the tree fruit seeds you need on the spot and ripen and harvest them in a second!

When Ye Yinchuan's hand came out again, there was another fruit. It was grayish in color, like a tortoise shell, with a rocky texture. Its surface had a subtle matte finish, and it was simple yet elegant.

[Is the streamer really serious about hiding such a large tree fruit in his backpack?]

"Dude, this fruit is definitely not ordinary. Don't tell me there are more?"

[Who would carry such a rare tree fruit around like this? I've never seen anything like it before; it must be something from the Heavenly Palace!]

The audience was abuzz with discussion, exclaiming how awesome it was.

The breathing of the trainers around them also became heavier and heavier to some extent.

Because someone among them recognized this tree fruit—

Basalt fruit!

It contains the essence of Rock and Ground type energy. When a Pokémon absorbs it, it can greatly enhance its physical attributes and defense. If the type match is right, the effect can even be doubled!
Such a precious berry, how could you carry it around with you and even take it out to give to other people's Pokémon?
At this moment, the minds of these discerning people were buzzing. This Kirby appraiser was simply too extravagant!
