Live treasure appraisal: You are such an elf!

Chapter 486 Identifying the Padian Water-type Tauros! Water Jet and Wave Surge! Too bad it lacks the Self-Sacrifice ability!
[Really coming? The Padmaya Water Sprite!]

[It is indeed a Padina ox, but besides the different horns, are there any other differences?]

[This doesn't show any water attribute at all!]

The audience was abuzz with discussion, showing great interest in the so-called Padmati water lily.

Ye Yinchuan also examined the Padia Water-type, thinking to himself that this Water-type was basically the same as the one in the encyclopedia, but there was only one detail that was different. It was precisely because of this missing detail that the audience could not see the characteristics of the water attribute...

Or perhaps, this Padia Water Ravine has not yet awakened its true power!
In the official Pokédex, there isn't much description of the Paddy Water Farm, so Ye Yinchuan can only extract some key points to explain to the audience.

"This Padia Water-type has not yet awakened its true power, which is the power of water..."

Ye Yinchuan spoke calmly, but his words were immediately drowned out by the barrage of comments.

【Bro, are you kidding me? Without awakening the water attribute, what kind of Water-type is this?】

[I understand the need for entertainment value, but you can't just fool the audience like this!]

If you can't give me a straight answer today, I'm unfollowing you!

Looking at the "threats" in the comments, Ye Yinchuan even found them somewhat cute. Where did these new fans come from? When had he ever fooled the audience? And when had he ever needed one or two more fans?

Unfollow? I'm so scared!

Of course, Ye Yinchuan only kept this thought to himself; if he actually said it aloud, the meaning would be completely different.

He continued to explain things methodically and at his own pace.

"Although it hasn't awakened the power of water attribute yet, the egg's bloodline and potential are still there. Awakening it will only be a matter of minutes..."

Upon hearing Ye Yinchuan's words, the person on the line immediately perked up and became excited. If his Tauros was indeed a rare Dipatia Water Sprite, its value would be completely different.

[Could it be... that the streamer has a solution?]

Don't worry, the streamer has plenty of ways to handle this!

"Since it is a Water-type, to awaken the power of water, it is natural to come into contact with water, and the more water the better."

Ye Yinchuan offered his insights and expressed his belief that obtaining water should not be a problem in today's society, especially in arid regions.

"Water, water... There's an artificial lake nearby, is that okay?"

"An artificial lake? Of course, but be careful about getting Pokémon in the water, or you might get a warning for being uncivilized."

Ye Yinchuan said with a hint of teasing.

"Tauro, let's go!"

The person on the other end of the line grabbed their phone, grabbed Tauros, and dashed out the door, heading straight for the so-called artificial lake. Judging by their actions, they clearly weren't going to take any warnings about uncivilized behavior to heart…

Honestly, if his Tauros could awaken the true Aquamarine bloodline, he would be willing to pay a fine!

Artificial lake.

Although it's a bit small, it's big enough to be called a lake, and there's enough water for this Tauros to swim in.

The liaison was practically ready to ride Tauros into the lake. Although he didn't know what his trainer was so excited about, Tauros just had to join in the excitement!
The big black ox was panting heavily, and inexplicably longed for the lake water in front of it.

"Go, let this Tauros soak in water."

Ye Yinchuan issued the order.

"Tauro, charge!"

Of course, this was said by the person on the other end of the line.

"Moo!"

Tauros was quite obedient, or rather, he had been wanting to soak in the water for a while, and he charged straight into the artificial lake...

Can all Kentavious Cavalieri swim?

[If someone drowns, will the streamer be responsible?]

[Haha, how impatient is this? This cow seems to have the same personality as its owner!]

Even Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but chuckle at this one moment.

"I can't guarantee whether all Tauros can swim, but I can say for sure that Tauros of the Padian Water Raven species, even if they can't swim, will absolutely not drown!"

[Oh? Why is the streamer so confident?]

[It seems there's some explanation for this?]

[Some people say that since the Water-type Pokémon are all Water-type, how could they be unable to swim?]

“There is some explanation for that. The fat density of the Padia Water Rathalos is different from that of a regular Tauros, allowing it to float very well on the water… Look, you see.”

At this moment, the Tauros had already rushed into the artificial lake and was floating on the water, pawing the surface with its limbs and making mooing sounds. In human terms, it was probably saying, "How come I never knew it was so fun in the water?"
Wow, that's a pure water buffalo!

Are you sure you can't swim?

[We can't see the effect of fat; there's no control group!]

My Tauros sinks the moment it hits the water. Don't ask me how I know; the last time I tried to save it, it cost me three months' salary!

"This Tauros Aqua type probably hasn't had much contact with water, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't have reacted so strongly... If everything goes smoothly, it will soon awaken its Water-type power. At that time, it will be able to master Water-type moves, and some changes will also appear on its body..."

[A detailed explanation of the changes!]

This is a great opportunity to verify whether the streamer is lying!

It's clear that there are always some people who want to expose the streamer's frauds. Although they're less obvious now that they're more famous, that's just human nature...

As the saying goes, people both yearn to create gods and yearn to overthrow them from their pedestals.

Even if it doesn't cause much of a stir, it seems like finding some dirt on someone can prove something.

Ye Yinchuan was already used to it, but there was nothing to hide, so he just said it directly:

"Generally speaking, the Water-type Tauros will have blue, teardrop-shaped markings on its chest. This is a manifestation of the gathering of elemental energy and a sign of the Water-type Tauros's water attribute..."

There was no nonsense, and no ambiguity.

Ye Yinchuan was certain that this was a Tauros of the Water-type, because this Tauros had already started swimming in the water and was showing a rather amazing posture and performance!

Wait a minute, am I seeing things?

[Outrageous! Why is this cow's horn spraying water?!]

[666, what a fast swimming speed!]

[Is this the Water Mist type? It's amazing!] The audience didn't have time to verify the truth of the details Ye Yinchuan mentioned. They were completely captivated by the performance of the Water Mist type Tauros in the artificial lake.

Just as the comments on the screen said, water jets were shooting out from the tips of the horns of this Aquamarine Tauros, propelling it to swim quickly in the water like a booster. It looked very carefree and comfortable, and the water was very smooth, like Dove chocolate.

"Hmm... this is one of the characteristics of the Water Beast species; they can spray water from their horns, which helps them swim. Their fat gives their bodies buoyancy, and their water jets provide propulsion..."

The end result is that even though the Water Rathalos doesn't have webbed feet or other swimming organs, it can still have amazing swimming speed, move quickly in the water, and even fight!
By the way, this Water Jet is a Water-type move, and I believe some of you Water-type trainers are already familiar with it!

[Is it a water jet? It really is a powerful water jet!]

[I've always thought this move was a bit unorthodox, thankfully this Tauros is a purebred bull, not a female!]

The audience marveled at Tauros's performance, and after Tauros had had its fill of fun, Ye Yinchuan had the contact person call Tauros back.

"Moo!"

Under the persistent urging of the liaison, Tauros finally reluctantly came ashore. The water-blue markings on its chest mane, shimmering like water droplets, were strikingly visible, a sign that its water attribute and corresponding ability had awakened.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yinchuan simply smiled slightly.

Facts speak louder than words. Now he doesn't need to say anything more; great scholars will debate the classics for him!
Who was just challenging the streamer? Here are the details, come and take a look!

[666, it's exactly what the streamer said! I'm a fan now!]

[What year is this? People still question Kirby's appraisal services? Everyone stand up!]

Ye Yinchuan nodded in satisfaction. The Kentaro Padia Water Sprite was thus exposed to everyone's view in its vibrant beauty.

He added a few more points:
"The Water-type is essentially still a Patia Tauros, so it retains some of Tauros's characteristics, such as some moves and abilities that are shared, as well as the Fighting type..."

Generally speaking, Patia Tauros can learn two Water-type moves. It doesn't sound like many, right? Actually, it's not many either. But with moves, it's enough to master them.

"The water jet technique I just mentioned is one example. The individual differences in this technique are actually very large, just like different men. Some are staggering and can't be helped up, while others can urinate three feet deep into the wind..."

To put it simply, the power of a water jet depends on pressure and energy intensity. Of course, for a Water-type Tauros, this can be gradually improved through practice...

Theoretically, the Water-type Tauros's water jet, due to its small nozzle and high pressure, can easily create a high-pressure water gun. To be brutal, it could even pierce through the flesh and blood of an enemy!

[High-pressure water jet? That's interesting!]

[I can picture it! It looks so painful!]

[No, is water really that powerful? It can even penetrate flesh and blood?]

[To the person upstairs, I suggest you search for "waterjet."]

Seeing the comments on the screen, Ye Yinchuan recalled a short video he had seen not long ago. It showed someone using a self-service car wash water gun, feeling that the water was dirty, and wanting to rinse their hands. As a result, they tore open a piece of skin on their hands, which looked very painful!
This is just the power of water from a physical science perspective. If we add the extraordinary power of Pokémon, the water-type energy, then it becomes even more incredible, and its power and effects are unimaginable.

So, what is the other move?

"Another water-attribute move, which requires a relatively high level, is called Wave Surge. You should be somewhat familiar with it..."

Its effect is to cover the entire body with water waves and then slam into the opponent with tremendous force. Not only can it cause considerable damage to the enemy, but it can also have a counter-effect on the user...

This is a powerful move that inflicts a thousand damage on the enemy while also inflicting eight hundred on yourself. Of course, eight hundred self-inflicted damage is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's definitely at least one or two hundred!

[What a pity! If Tauros had the Sacrifice ability, this move would have been even more powerful!]

Indeed, the Water-type has become a Fighting/Water type, but its ability remains the same, which feels somewhat incongruous!

The world is full of wonders; who knows, maybe a Tauros and an afro-haired buffalo will fall in love at first sight...

Come on, it's not even a parent animal. It just looks like a cow, but it's actually reproductively isolated!

Just as Ye Yinchuan was about to finish, a comment raised a seemingly nonsensical but actually crucial question—

[I have a question: When Tauros is in water, it propels itself by spraying water backward from its horns. So how does it use water jets to attack people on land? Isn't it also using water jets to increase its speed and the power of its impact?]

Ye Yinchuan remained silent for a full second when asked this question. It wasn't that he couldn't answer, but rather that he felt an urge to point to his head, but he felt it would be impolite, so he refrained from doing so.

"Is it possible that when it's in the water, its horns point backward, but when it attacks someone on land, its horns point forward?"

Ye Yinchuan answered with a question.

Haha, this question stumped me too!

I almost didn't realize I was turning the corner!

【humor……】

If all else fails, squeeze that big pimple in the middle of your shoulder!

Ye Yinchuan has always acknowledged the sharp tongue of the comments section.

He also tried to smooth things over for that fan, saying:

"Actually, there's no need to attack him. This idea is quite constructive. After all, could we have the Water-type Tauros use high-pressure water jets to accelerate and increase the power of its impact when it's on land?"

Then, just before reaching its opponent, the bull thrusts its horns forward and unleashes another water jet, piercing through the opponent...

Such a double attack must be a powerful and effective combination technique!

[That's amazing! That's incredibly imaginative!]

[Can someone with physics knowledge explain: on land, can water actually provide a propulsion system?]

[Theoretically, if the pressure is high enough, it should have an effect, right?]

"Alright, everyone has seen the Water-type Tauros, and everything that needed to be explained has been explained. Let's stop here!"

Ye Yinchuan didn't want a single Pokémon to take up too much time and slow down the pace of the live stream.

"Next, I hope the Flame Seed can also make an appearance, and please don't send the Water-type Tauros!"

By imposing restrictions on the objects to be connected next, the probability of the desired Pokémon appearing can be increased. This can be considered a visible hand making subjective adjustments.

[Hey streamer, I have a Fire-type Tauros, but it's not black. Can I still use it?]

Ye Yinchuan waited for a long time, but the fire-attribute Old Black Bull never appeared. He could only select this comment as a substitute for the others.

Maybe they are of the fiery race, but the old black ox's genes aren't strong enough?
"Come on, brother."

Ye Yinchuan chose to connect via video.

Upon seeing this Tauros, the expression on his face became subtle.

"Your Tauros... while not a Padia Fireborn, are certainly no ordinary creature!"
