Live treasure appraisal: You are such an elf!

Chapter 518 Carrot Lady Returns! Gloom, with its "well-developed scent glands" trait, has finally evolved!
The wandering mage, satisfied, retrieved the Poké Ball and bowed deeply to Ye Yinchuan once again in front of the camera.

"Streamer, without you, it would have been difficult to tame this scythe-armored creature!"

Ye Yinchuan smiled and waved his hand: "You're too kind, just take good care of it."

A thrilling battle to subdue the enemy came to a perfect end under Ye Yinchuan's calm and collected command.

The viewers in the live stream were still immersed in the primitive and wild fighting style of the Scythe Helmet and the domineering power of the Mighty Crocodile, and were still eager for more.

Just as Ye Yinchuan was about to end the live stream and continue today's content.

One comment stood out prominently—

@Ms.Carrot: [Host, host! My Gloom might evolve today, and I'd like you to witness it!]

Carrot Lady!
Ye Yinchuan was all too familiar with this ID.

This is one of his oldest and most loyal fans in his live stream.

From the very beginning when no one paid attention to him and no one was willing to connect, Ms. Carrot has almost never missed a single one of his live streams.

The stinky flower, which possesses the characteristic of having "well-developed scent glands," was transformed from a walking "biological weapon" into a "portable air freshener" that can freely control the concentration of its scent with his help.

A long-lost warmth welled up in Ye Yinchuan's heart.

As the live stream grows larger and the number of viewers increases, those familiar faces are gradually being submerged in the massive barrage of comments.

Many people, due to their studies, work, or various other reasons in life, are no longer able to stay up every day in the live broadcast room as they used to.

But each time these familiar IDs lit up again, it was as if reminding Ye Yinchuan that he had not been alone on this journey.

"Family, it seems like today is a good day."

A genuine smile appeared on Ye Yinchuan's face.

"We just witnessed Kabutops being caught, and now we have the chance to witness Pokémon evolving... It's an old friend!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly accepted Ms. Carrot's request to connect.

[Connection successful!]

Screen switching.

The familiar background of a university dormitory comes into view.

A girl wearing carrot-print pajamas is looking at the camera with excited and expectant eyes.

It was Ms. Carrot, Xiao Hu.

Beside her, a stinky flower sat obediently.

Its appearance remains the same, with glistening "drool" dripping from the corner of its mouth and a huge, somewhat withered flower bud on its head.

It used to smell so bad that Xiao Hu had to move out of the dormitory, but things are different now.

The key point is that it has a faint glow of evolution on it, which is a sign that it is about to evolve.

"Hello, host! Hello, viewers!" Xiao Hu's voice carried an undisguised joy.

Wow! It's Ms. Carrot! Long time no see!

[Oh my god, a first-generation fan has arrived! This brings back so many memories!]

[I became a fan after watching the episode featuring Gloom! I could practically smell Gloom through the screen!]

[Haha, things are different now! With the anchor's help, the stinky baby has become a fragrant baby!]

What viewers are also concerned about is...

Surrounding Xiao Hu's roommates was another familiar face.

The girl had a shy demeanor and a gentle, reserved smile.

Beside her stood a Pokémon with a very unique design.

It looks and looks very similar to Paraster, but there are significant differences!

Its outline resembles that of a king crab or a long-legged spider...

The front claws are sharp and long, and have a similar structure to those seen before. You can vaguely see that the mouth is located under the body!

Instead of giant mushrooms, it has a transparent geometric polygonal prism, like a giant petri dish, with clusters of mushrooms suspended inside...

Without a doubt, this girl is none other than "Little Rich Girl" Xiao Xiu, Ms. Carrot's roommate.

And this Pokémon is none other than hers, the one and only Phagester, which evolved from Paras!
In ordinary parasitic organisms, the body is dominated by fungi, while in phage parasitic organisms, the insects have evolved to control the fungi!

[Holy crap! It's Xiao Xiu! And that rich girl is here too! I almost forgot they're roommates!]

Holy crap, what kind of Pokémon is this? I've never seen it before!

【No way, you don't even know Phagester? You're obviously not a long-time fan!】

Seeing the enthusiasm and welcome in the comments, Xiao Xiu's eyes widened slightly, surprised that she and Phagester were so popular.

The phagester beside her swayed gently, its body seemingly glowing with fire, showcasing its unique insect-fire attribute.

"Little Hu, long time no see." Ye Yinchuan greeted him with a smile, "Your Stinky Flower, how come it's about to evolve after not seeing you for a while?"

"It's Xiaoxiu! She prepared an evolution stone to evolve Paras, right? Later, she had a Sun Stone left. Streamer, didn't you reveal in your live stream that the Sun Stone has a chance to evolve Gloom... Xiaoxiu gave it to Gloom!"

"As a result, Gloom started glowing as soon as it touched the Sun Stone!"

[What a great roommate from China!]

[Oh my god, Sun Stones are incredibly precious!]

So, what will Gloom evolve into? Bellossom? Or Vileplume?

Because of previous live streams, viewers are already familiar with these two evolutionary forms of Gloom.

"Nothing is absolute," Ye Yinchuan cautioned. "Although the Sun Stone will most likely cause it to evolve into a Beautiful Flower, depending on its genes and condition, there is also a possibility that it might evolve into a Queen of the Hill."

[The Queen of the Night! It's pretty good too! Cute and powerful!]

Indeed, when the Queen of the Night shimmers, it unleashes a toxin-laden spray; who can withstand that?

But the beautiful flower is even more adorable! It smells wonderful and dances!

"And what about you, Xiao Hu?" Ye Yinchuan asked, "which form would you prefer it to evolve into?"

Upon hearing this question, Xiao Hu glanced at the stinky flower in his arms, his eyes softening considerably.

"I...of course I hope it can turn into a beautiful flower."

Her voice lowered, tinged with heartache.

"Although with the help of the streamer, the Gloomy Flower can now control its smell and even emit a pleasant fragrance... its appearance is still often described by netizens as 'ugly'..."

"Although I think it's adorable just the way it is, I don't want it to be commented on like that anymore!"

Xiao Hu paused for a moment, then added:
"Host, you have no idea, when you were streaming Bellossom last time, Gloom was totally mesmerized! It was so excited that it couldn't sleep all night, probably dreaming of becoming a fragrant and beautiful Pokémon like Bellossom."

"If it were a female version of the 'Queen of the Night,' it wouldn't be impossible, but it just doesn't feel quite right!"

"Yeah~"

Gloom seemed to understand that its trainer was talking about its embarrassing moments.

She turned around and shyly buried her face in Xiao Hu's arms.

[Damn it...which netizen has such a foul mouth?]

In an era where appearance is king, is even Pokémon not immune?

[Go for it, Stinky Flower! You can definitely become the most beautiful one!]

[I envy Gloomy...]

Ye Yinchuan was deeply moved as he watched this scene.

Just like people, Pokémon have their own joys and sorrows.

It's perfectly reasonable for the stinky flower to have a pursuit of "beauty".

"I understand."

Ye Yinchuan's eyes turned serious.

He smiled slightly and said confidently:
"Although using the Sun Stone does have a chance of evolving into Vileplume, we can artificially reduce that chance to the lowest possible level."

Upon hearing this, not only Xiao Hu and Xiao Xiu, but also all the viewers in the live stream instantly perked up.

【! ! ! 】

[Is this even possible? Is the streamer about to show off again?]

[Quick! Get your notebooks out! I need an evolution guide!]

"The method to increase the probability of evolving into Bellossom is actually very simple."

Ye Yinchuan shared his "exclusive secret recipe" with the camera.

"That is, to let Gloomy feel, imitate, and learn the unique 'Dance of the Sun' of Bellossom during the process of evolution."

"The effect will be better if it can be done in an environment full of sunlight and energy."

Dance of the Sun?

An environment brimming with sunlight and energy?
Xiao Hu was stunned and didn't quite understand.

Xiao Xiu, standing to the side, nodded thoughtfully.

at this time.

A girl next to me exclaimed excitedly, "Need a sunny environment? My Vulpix might be able to help!"

As she spoke, she released her Pokémon.

With a flash of light, a small fox with six curled tails and a bright red body appeared on the ground.

It's the Pokémon—Vulpix!
"Ow?"

Liuwei tilted its little head, curiously looking at everyone in the room.

[It has six tails! What an adorable little fox!]

[The Vulpix's hidden ability is Solar Radiation, which can clear the weather! What a coincidence!]

"Oh right, then I'll leave it to you and your Six-Tailed Fox!" Xiao Hu said with delight.

"It's nothing!" my roommate chuckled. "It's an honor for me and Liuwei to show our faces in the famous Kirby Appraisal livestream!"

Ye Yinchuan's smile deepened as he watched this heartwarming scene of mutual assistance.

“Very good, the environmental problem is solved. Now, the most crucial step is to learn the ‘Dance of the Sun’.”

He manipulated the screen and sent a video to Xiao Hu's phone.

That was precious footage of a wild beautiful flower dancing, captured by the trainer he had previously connected with.

Video playback.

In the picture, many beautiful flowers sway gracefully in the sunlight, taking light dance steps.

Their movements are simple and pure, yet full of the joy and vitality of life, as if they are dancing with the sunlight.

"Yeah~ Yeah~"

Stinky Flower stared wide-eyed at the beautiful flower in the video, drooling even more, her eyes filled with longing.

It imitated what it saw in the video, clumsily lifted one foot, and then... almost fell over.

The body structure of the Gloom Flower is different from that of the Beauty Flower, making it particularly difficult for it to perform these agile movements.

[Pfft... What an adorable stinky flower!]

It feels like when I was learning to dance; my hands and feet seemed to have a mind of their own.

Keep going! Don't give up!

"Come on, Stinky Flower, let's learn together!"

Seeing that Gloom was getting discouraged, Xiao Hu, as a trainer, decided to join.

Her movements were a little clumsy, but they undoubtedly gave Gloom a lot of encouragement.

"I'll come too..."

Seeing this, Xiao Xiu couldn't stand still either. Although she was a little shy, she jumped up along with the video.

Her movements were much more precise than Xiao Hu's, clearly demonstrating a certain level of dance skill.

The other roommates also joined in.

Suddenly, in the small dormitory, the girls began to follow the video and dance together to that clumsy yet hopeful "Dance of the Sun".

And their Pokémon...

"Ow!"

Six-tailed Fox let out a cry and joined in.

"Ka... Ka..."

Even Xiao Xiu's Bacterophage Ster waved its forelimbs, mimicking dance movements, though it looked more like it was boxing.

The room was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.

Gloom looked at its trainers and friends who were working hard to learn dance for its sake, and at its Pokémon partners who were cheering it on...

A layer of mist gradually filled its beady eyes.

But it didn't cry.

It sniffed hard, its eyes becoming more determined than ever before!
"ah!"

It let out a powerful cry!

It straightened up again, its eyes fixed on the beautiful flowers in the video, imprinting every movement of them into its mind.

It raised its foot once again.

This time, it stood firm!

Then it involves swaying the body and spinning around...

Although it is still clumsy, every movement it makes is full of power and determination!
It seemed to be using all its strength to embrace the image it longed to become!

"It seems about time. Let's go to the balcony and have Six-Tails clear up the weather!"

Ye Yinchuan hadn't expected things to progress so quickly; perhaps this was the power of bonds.
Everyone moved to the balcony.

"Ow!"

The Six-Tails raised its head, radiating a warm orange light.

A special force influenced the sky, and the previously cloudy weather suddenly turned bright!
It's amazing, but that's the power of Pokémon!
Under the "sunshine" and with everyone's encouragement, ChouChouHua's dance became more and more fluid and confident!
It forgot its clumsy body, forgot the troubles it had caused because of its former stench and its appearance.

In its world, there is only sunshine, dance, and the purest desire to become beautiful!
Its eyes were filled with tears of emotion, yet a kind and bright smile appeared on its face!
Just as it perfectly executed the final finishing move in the video—

Om-!
A light of evolution, stronger and brighter than ever before, suddenly burst forth from its body!
The light was so dazzling that it turned the entire dormitory into a pure white!
Xiao Hu was so excited he couldn't speak, his eyes filled with longing!

Evolution has begun!

In the white light, the short, chubby figure of the stinky flower was rapidly elongated and reshaped.

Its enormous bud melted away in the light, replaced by two small, delicate, and vibrant flowers, like a dancer's headdress.

The drool at the corner of its mouth disappeared, replaced by a sweet and confident smile.

Its body turned a soft green, and its limbs became more slender and agile.

The light slowly faded away.

A completely new figure appeared before everyone.

It wears a "grass skirt" made of green leaves, two bright red flowers on its head, and its fair skin glows with a healthy sheen under the light.

It closed its eyes, sensing the changes in its body, and then slowly opened its eyes.

Those were clear, bright eyes, full of joy and confidence!
"Li~"

It emitted a clear and melodious chime, like a wind chime.

Then, under this small "sunny day," it couldn't help but dance its own true "dance of the sun"!
As it danced, an indescribable fragrance, a blend of sunshine and nectar, instantly filled the entire room, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

Beautiful flower!
It succeeded!

"Whoa-!"

Xiao Hu couldn't hold back any longer and rushed forward to hug his Pokémon tightly.

She was also moved to tears by the joy of the stinky flower.

"That's wonderful... Stinky Flower... No, Beautiful Flower! You're so beautiful!"

"Li~Li~"

Bellossom happily rubbed her cheek against her trainer, enjoying the joy of this success.

Xiaoxiu and her other roommate also clapped excitedly.

The six-tailed fox and the bacteriophage in the room also let out celebratory cries.

The live stream room was already flooded with a barrage of comments.

[Aaaaaah! It worked! It really evolved into a Bellflower! Thank you so much to the streamer for sharing!]

[So beautiful! I think I can smell the fragrance of these flowers! I feel so happy!]

[I'm a little teary-eyed. This is probably the kind of emotion Pokémon brings us!]

Congratulations, Ms. Carrot! Congratulations, Beautiful Flower!

Ye Yinchuan looked at the heartwarming scene on the screen and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

He didn't speak, but simply enjoyed the purest joy that came from hard work and friendship.

Holding the beautiful flowers, Xiao Hu secretly wiped away her tears, and solemnly thanked the camera:
"Thank you! Host! Thank you so much! Thank you so much!"

"Without you, there would be no beautiful flower today!"

Ye Yinchuan smiled and shook his head:

"What truly allowed Gloom to evolve into Bellossom wasn't just its belief and determination, but also you, its trainer, and the friendship and help of your companions... I only offered a small suggestion!"

[You're too modest, host!]

Is this still the Kirby Appraiser I know?

He appears humble on the surface, but is actually a show-off—that's him!

Why does this flower seem so beautiful?

Noticing the confusion in the comments, Ye Yinchuan stated firmly:
"Remember this, family and friends: the stinkier the stinky flower, the more fragrant and beautiful the pretty flower! Think about it yourselves!"
