Live treasure appraisal: You are such an elf!

Chapter 506 Fairy Wetlands! Pokémon on Red Flowers? Little Fairy? Hatching, Shiny Lapras!
Seth took a deep breath to calm his complicated emotions, stepped forward, bowed deeply to Ye Yinchuan, and then took an exquisite tray from the staff.

"Congratulations, Mr. Kirby... According to the rules of the Master Challenge, this is the reward you deserve. As for the ranking reward, it will be distributed to you after this Gym Challenge event officially ends."

Seth explained that several items lay quietly on the tray.

The first item is a badge carved from pure blue crystal. Its design is the symbol of the Crystal Gym. It consists of two parts: a crystal rock and a wave. It is larger than a regular badge and has a heart-shaped Pokémon scale embedded in the center, which shimmers under the light.

"This is an exclusive souvenir from the Master Challenge – the 'Crystal Heart' Collector's Badge."

[Holy crap! This badge is amazing! Crystal Gym truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier gym!]

If I were a streamer, I'd wear this badge on my chest from now on and never take it off!

[Having strength means you can do whatever you want! If I were a streamer, I'd beat every gym and get all the badges!]

Ye Yinchuan took the badge; it felt cool and smooth to the touch, with an excellent texture. He nodded in satisfaction and carefully placed it into his backpack.

"The second reward is a choice of one of the gym Pokémon wood carvings," Seth said, pointing to another staff member holding several rows of Pokémon wood carvings.

Ye Yinchuan's gaze swept across the area, taking in toys such as Golduck, Gyarados, and Seadra. In the end, his eyes settled on a Psyduck.

While those advanced forms are powerful and cool, he still prefers Psyduck's goofy look; after all, it's the duck god.

The image of Psyduck covering its head with a dazed look is depicted with remarkable realism, and the meticulously hand-carved textures add to its exquisite detail and make it a valuable keepsake.

"This one will do," he said, pointing to it. "It's a pity there aren't any handcrafted wood carvings by Milotic."

Seth paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Our staff are out of touch with the times... Could you please let our staff take a closer look at your Milotic, Mr. Kirby?"

[Haha, the streamer's Milotic is a very new Pokémon. Who knew Feebas could evolve into Milotic before?]

[Wow, if they really released a Milotic handcrafted wood carving, it would definitely be the most sought-after!]

"of course can."

Ye Yinchuan said without reservation.

"The third reward is our Crystal Tide Gym's Gym Poké Ball, a non-sale souvenir with a very limited production. You can only get it by successfully completing a challenge of difficulty or higher..."

As he spoke, Seth carefully picked up the exquisite Poké Ball with both hands. The design elements were similar to the gym emblem, but because it was a Poké Ball, it had more practical value.
"This Poké Ball is perfect for accommodating Water-type Pokémon. It uses special technology to simulate the rocks and waves of the seaside. Water-type Pokémon won't feel restricted inside the Poké Ball, and the internal space is quite large."

[Sure, this level of Poké Ball is even more high-end than a Luxury Ball, right?]

[After all, it's a product from Daidokan; it would be too embarrassing if the quality were poor!]

"and this."

Seth picked up a pendant from the tray. It had a teardrop-shaped crystal hanging from it, its color clear and translucent, with faint traces of elven energy flowing through it. It was clearly no ordinary object.

"This is a Pokémon Association certified item called Mystic Drop. It's a crystal that only forms in places where Water-type Pokémon have abundant energy... If a Pokémon carries it, it can enhance the power of Water-type moves."

[There's such a good thing?]

[These are valuable items!]

[I searched for prices, and even the lowest quality Mysterious Water Drop starts at 50. Judging from its size and condition, this one must cost at least four or five times that, right?]

【No? You want a whole villa just because you disagree with something?】

"The mysterious water droplets..."

Ye Yinchuan readily accepted it; even if his Milotic couldn't use it, he could still use it when he transformed into a lizard.

Finally, a faint blush rose on Seth's face. Somewhat embarrassed, she took out a beautifully packaged hardcover photo book from the bottom of the tray. The cover showed her in sportswear, interacting intimately with Golduck, looking sunny and healthy.

“And… this.” Her voice was much softer, but overall she remained confident and poised.

The chat room exploded with comments at that moment.

[Yosh! Speaking of this reward, I'm wide awake now!]

[Is Miss Seth mixed race? Her figure is absolutely stunning!]

Promise me you won't watch this alone, okay? Good things should be shared!

Ye Yinchuan glanced at the comments section, then at the somewhat embarrassed Seth in front of him, calmly accepted the photobook, and waved it at the camera:
"Thank you so much, Miss Seth, for sharing so generously. I'd love to show it to everyone right now, but I'll have my assistant demonstrate it for you later!"

[Confirmed! Still saying it's not bronchitis?]

[The streamer's lack of interest is all an act; once they log off, they practically want to pop their eyes back in!]

Seeing the comments on the screen, Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated. He put the photobook and other rewards into his backpack.

At this point, all rewards for completing the Master Challenge have been claimed.

As for the ranking rewards, if you successfully get first place, in addition to being able to choose a Pokémon egg from the gym's storage, you will also receive a Crystal City exclusive VIP card, which, as mentioned before, grants you various privileges and discounts on shopping and transportation...

Of course, his name will be engraved on the dojo's monument and honor wall, which can be considered a reward and indirectly increase Ye Yinchuan's popularity as a streamer.

"Alright everyone, that's all for today's live stream!"

Ye Yinchuan ended the live broadcast.

[Ding! The exclusive ability "Affix Customization" has been activated, drawing usable affixes from the Pokémon appearing in this live stream...]

[Draw complete! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the trait: "Wandering the World"!]

"It's shipped!"

Having just battled a Gyarados with this trait, Ye Yinchuan remembered it vividly. It could double the power of Surf, making it a powerful, specialized trait...

Loading it onto your own Milotic would be an epic boost in terms of destructive power!
Ye Yinchuan, unusually, did not hesitate.

[Ding! Installation successful! Milotic has gained the trait "Waves Across the Waves"!]

"Minas, how are you feeling?" Ye Yinchuan asked.

Milotic let out an ethereal cry, a hint of wonder flashing in its clear eyes. It could feel an unprecedented and wondrous connection forming between itself and the surrounding water elements.

If we were to use surfing now...

……

Night falls on the tidal flats of Crystal City.

A gentle sea breeze blows, and moonlight spills across the sea, making it shimmer.

Ye Yinchuan stood on a huge reef. In front of him, Milotic floated gracefully on the sea, enjoying the soothing touch of its master's heavenly hand.

"Give it a try, surfing," Ye Yinchuan ordered.

Milotic nodded gracefully, then gently swayed its long tail...

The water energy surged, and the giant waves rose like skyscrapers from the ground, instantly reaching tens of meters high. Within the waves, there were constantly layers and overlaps, making them extremely turbulent and multiplying the power of surfing!

Milotic is even better at controlling these multi-layered giant waves, and can even keep the outer layer calm while the inner layer is turbulent, hiding the destructive power inside so that the enemy will underestimate it!

"That's amazing..." Ye Yinchuan looked at this scene with satisfaction in his eyes.

Milotic already possessed unparalleled control over water currents, and now, with the addition of the domineering "Waves" trait, it's like adding wings to a tiger. In battles on the sea, it has long been invincible among its peers!

……

Three days later, the Crystal Dojo timed challenge officially ended, and Ye Yinchuan unsurprisingly became the number one on the challenge leaderboard.

It's one thing to be able to clear the Master-level challenge, but to achieve a perfect record of six wins out of six is ​​a feat that few can surpass.

Moreover, throughout this dojo challenge, only Ye Yinchuan managed to defeat the master-level opponent...

Its high value is evident!
Regarding the VIP card for Crystal City, Crystal City Gym can deliver it directly to your door...

However, Ye Yinchuan needed to go there in person to get the Pokémon egg. He could have chosen one online, but Ye Yinchuan thought it would be good material for his live stream, so he decided to do it himself.

"Family, let's go collect the last batch of rewards today. Let's check the Crystal Tide Gym's stash to see if there are any top-tier Pokémon eggs! After that, we'll explore Fairy Wetlands and I'll help you identify some wild Pokémon!"

The broadcast started on time.

Ye Yinchuan also made a promise to the audience about today's live broadcast program.

"welcome."

Miss Seth greeted him personally as always. Even though Ye Yinchuan was not a master-level challenger, he was still a distinguished guest of Crystal Tide Dojo. And on his second visit, Ye Yinchuan was even more familiar and unceremonious.

Ye Yinchuan followed Seth to a low-temperature cold storage room deep inside the dojo.

Here, the temperature and humidity are kept constant. Rows of Pokémon-specific storage shelves hold dozens of Pokémon eggs of various colors and patterns, each radiating a stable and healthy life force. Since the gym selects its eggs, there are naturally no bad ones.

"These are all Pokémon eggs carefully selected and sourced by our gym, or bred by ourselves. You can choose any one you like," Seth introduced, his tone slightly proud.

Ye Yinchuan has a keen eye for treasures, so selecting a Pokémon egg is naturally a piece of cake for him. However, as usual, he still has to put on an act.

"This egg is a black seahorse, with good potential, at least an A-grade."

"Hmm... Magikarp has a high chance of evolving into Gyarados later on, and it even comes with the Egg Move Waterfall!"

"This Spiny Sea Dragon has a strong talent for poison!"

Most of them were eggs with good potential, but for Ye Yinchuan, they were not enough.

His gaze slowly swept across the room, and suddenly, in the far corner of the cold storage, a light blue egg with several white wavy lines on it caught Ye Yinchuan's attention...

"Could this egg be Laplace?"

Ye Yinchuan feigned surprise.

Lapras, also known as Lapras, is a relatively rare Water-type Pokémon and is also very suitable as a mount.

Because of Milnas, Ye Yinchuan didn't have an immediate need for electricity, but seeing it now still made him pay extra attention...

More importantly, this egg is no ordinary egg!
Pokémon Egg: Lapras

[Attribute: Water/Ice]

Individual Value: S-rank (200)

……

[Status: Healthy, about to hatch]

[Trait: Sparkling Color]

"A shiny Lapras egg! An S-rank IV with almost perfect stats!" Ye Yinchuan hadn't seen such a top-tier Pokémon egg in a long time; it would be a shame not to take it.

Just for the sake of the unique, iridescent color, I have to get it!
“This one will do.” He made his choice without hesitation. “I’m actually thinking of getting a Laplace.”

"Huh? Is that Laplace's egg?"

Because the egg's appearance is actually quite conventional, and many Pokémon eggs are deceptive, Seth was clearly unaware of its identity, let alone that it was a shiny egg.

But Seth wasn't reluctant to part with it. Although Laplace was rare, it was nothing to Crystal Gym.

As for Ye Yinchuan's discerning eye, there is no doubt about it.

Sait nodded and had someone carefully place the egg into a special incubator and hand it over to Ye Yinchuan.

[The streamer actually wants Laplace's testicles? This guy's definitely hiding something!]

[That's just how the host is; as he gets older, he doesn't speak the truth much!]

[Haha, with his appraisal skills, putting a Pokémon egg in a cold storage is like a weasel entering a chicken coop!]

Ye Yinchuan looked at the comments and was speechless. They made him sound like a petty thief!
He didn't say much, simply because he didn't want to take advantage and then act innocent, making the dojo members uncomfortable.
……

One week later, Fairy Wetlands.

Ye Yinchuan has been exploring the Fairy Wetlands for a week now.

This is one of the major wilderness areas near Crystal City. It is near the sea but not the sea, with a humid climate and is shrouded in mist all year round. The air is filled with the refreshing fragrance of flowers and the moist smell of earth.

The giant mushrooms unique to Fairy Wetlands emit a soft glow, and clear streams flow gently among the colorful crystals, making everything seem like a fairy tale wonderland.

On a wide-open meadow, Ye Yinchuan leaned against an ancient tree. It was afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, the thin mist was almost invisible, and the humidity in the air was just right. He was enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

In his arms, a fluffy pink creature was fast asleep; it was the teddy bear, who seemed to regard Ye Yinchuan as its most comfortable pillow.

[Damn it, I want the streamer's teddy bear too!]

[Forget about it. These Pokémon can easily land you in the hospital if you're not careful!]

Yes, it looks like a toy, but it's actually a monstrous bear!

At his feet, a new life was curiously observing the world.

It was a baby Pokémon with rounded ears and horns that looked very cute. Its skin was a soft light purple, and the small shell on its back was not the usual gray, but a silvery-white that shone with a pearly luster. The bumps on it had not yet opened up, showing its immaturity.

It stared with a pair of large, bright eyes, as clear as amethyst, its gaze pure and innocent.

The shimmering elven energy surrounding its body highlighted its radiant and noble status...

It was from that Shining S-class egg that Shining Laplace hatched!
This little Laplace is gentle and affectionate. It showed great dependence on Ye Yinchuan from the moment it was born, and at this moment it was gently rubbing its little head against Ye Yinchuan's trouser leg.

"Goo-yo?" Little Laplace tilted its head and made a soft, sweet sound.

"Good boy." Ye Yinchuan smiled and stroked its smooth little head, pinched its soft, round ears, and activated the Heavenly Hand, making the little guy squint its eyes comfortably.

[Wow, the egg the streamer got from the Crystal Gym is really something! It's a Shiny!]

[Upstairs, you just got internet access? It hatched a couple of days ago! Miss Seth must be furious, such a top-tier, shimmering Laplace, and the streamer just snatched it up!]

[Haha, Miss Seth can handle this! It's not that serious...]

"Let's go take a look over there today."

Ye Yinchuan now explores the wilderness quite casually, but of course, he won't neglect his duties, such as finding and identifying rare Pokémon, and collecting resources...

At this moment, he walked in a direction he had never explored before, and the fragrance of flowers around him grew stronger and stronger. At his feet, colorful flowers gradually appeared, until they became more and more clustered...

"So many flowers, could it be that this area is..."

Thinking of the claim that one could encounter many fairy Pokémon in the Fairy Wetlands, Ye Yinchuan quickened his pace, as if something had occurred to him.

He quickly noticed something and zoomed in, saying:
"Family members, look what I found!"

In the live stream, a small Pokémon, only a few centimeters tall, floated on a large red flower, cautiously looking around. Its body was white on top and green on the bottom, like it was wearing grass-green long underwear. Its upper body was like bare, white skin. Its face was delicate, like a little baby, and it had a pair of large, long, petal-shaped ears. There was a petal-like decoration on its head, and its big eyes sparkled with innocent light.

[Oh my god, what kind of Pokémon is this? It looks like a Grass-type!]

【You're wrong, upstairs! This is clearly a Fairy-type Pokémon!】

Could it be a combination of fairy and grass?

[This... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before, it's called Little Flower Fairy?]

"What the hell is this Little Flower Fairy... "

Ye Yinchuan was speechless at the half-baked comments from the viewers.

His discerning eye for treasures quietly activated, allowing him to read the Pokémon's stats—

[Name: Hua Beibei]

【Level: 15】

[Attribute: Fairy]

[Gender: Female]

[Racial stats: C-rank (303)]

Individual Value: C (99)

[Feature: Flower Curtain]

Personality: Cautious

[Skills: Impact, Shout, Fairy Wind, Absorb...]

[Status: Sensing surroundings]

[Evolutionary Path: Flowerbud - Flower Leaf Stem]

You can easily understand the condition of this flower bud~
"Family members, does nobody really know the name of this Pokémon? Well, I'll tell you then..."

Ye Yinchuan decisively opened the mouth.
"This is a Fairy-type Pokémon. Although it has strong Grass-type potential, it is primarily a Fairy... because its Grass-type ability does not come from itself, but from the flowers beneath it!"

"Its name is Hua Beibei. It can draw power from flowers and also shares its power with them!"
