Live treasure appraisal: You are such an elf!

Chapter 527 A New Evolution Form for Slowpoke? Unbelievable! Three-in-one, Slowbro Claw!

"Roar--!!!"

A fierce, territorial roar suddenly came from downstream!
A giant crab, significantly larger than its peers, was charging forward, brandishing its disproportionately large claw!
The giant pincers gleamed with a cold, metallic light in the sunlight, their edges even bearing a jagged, serrated edge.

It strode across the shallows, splashing up large sprays of water, its menacing aura aimed directly at the Slowpoke and Shellder who were still locked in a stalemate!
This sudden turn of events instantly made the atmosphere in the live broadcast room tense and exciting.

Holy crap! A third party has intervened!

[What a huge Kingler! Those pincers could probably snap off a Slowpoke's tail!]

[Look! It's charging! They're about to fight!]

[Let's fight! Let's fight! I love watching wild Pokémon battle!]

The audience was instantly intrigued, watching with the same enthusiasm they would have for an animal documentary, eagerly anticipating the clash between the three Pokémon.

However, Ye Yinchuan showed no surprise whatsoever.

The moment this giant clawed crab appeared, his [Insightful Eye for Treasures] and [Listening to the Heart] had already discerned everything.

Pokémon: Kingler

[Trait: Territory Elite]

This giant crab possesses a physique and strength far exceeding that of its kind. It has an extremely strong territorial instinct and views any creature that enters its territory as a provocation.

[Inner monologue: Get out! This body of water is mine! That seashell is my prey too! You fat pink thing, get out of here too!]

It turned out to be the case.

This is a grumpy local bully who sees Slowpoke as an intruder trying to steal his territory and food.

"Family members, this looks like it's going to be interesting."

Ye Yinchuan's voice, like a professional documentary narrator, was calm yet carried a perfectly measured hint of anticipation.

on the screen.

The giant crab has already closed in!
It raised its massive, gleaming pincers high, aiming them at Slowpoke's tail, which dangled in the water and looked delicious yet fragile!
It looks like a bloody "tail-severing" tragedy is about to unfold!

But just as the giant crab was about to clamp its jaws shut!

A sudden change occurred!

The dazed beast, which had always been considered "clever" but always maintained a blank expression, suddenly had a glint of extremely cunning light flash in its eyes, completely inconsistent with its appearance!

It didn't hide at all!
Instead, it deliberately moved its tail even closer to the giant claw of the giant crab!
at the same time!

A subtle yet incredibly precise fluctuation of psychic power emanated from it!

The telekinetic energy didn't affect the giant crab, but instead... it affected the "clumsy" giant tongue clam next to it, which had been pretending to be dead with its shell closed!

"Whoosh-!"

Driven by telekinesis, the giant tongue shell was launched like a stone from a slingshot or a cannonball, and it "splashed" out at an astonishing speed!

Its target is nowhere else!
It was the exposed, vulnerable eyes of the giant crab!

This sudden move completely caught everyone off guard!
"puff!"

The hard shell slammed solidly into the giant crab's eyestalk!

"Ho-ga—!!"

The excruciating pain caused the giant crab to let out an angry roar, and its attack abruptly halted!
It's now!

Slowpoke seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

It suddenly swung its tail!
The tip of its tail, dripping with stream water, cut through the air with a crisp, whistling sound, like a soft whip lashing hard across the giant crab's face!

Snapped!
Loud voice!

This series of smooth and fluid operations was so fast it was dazzling!

After a 0.1 second of silence, the entire live stream room was instantly flooded with a tsunami of comments!

【Fuck! Damn it! Damn it! 】

[This...this Slowpoke has become sentient!]

What did I just see? A feint? A diversionary tactic? A diversionary attack? How could a Slowpoke know so many tactics?!

[I declare, this isn't called Slowpoke, it's called Old Six Beast! So cunning!]

[Giant Shell: Are you kidding me?! You're using me as a weapon?! Don't I have any dignity?!]

[Hahaha! I feel sorry for Clam Crawford for a second, then I burst out laughing!]

The comments section was completely shocked and buzzing with excitement at this exquisite, almost artistic, execution!
"pretty."

Even Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"To possess such a level of combat intelligence even before evolving, and to know how to utilize the surrounding environment... this Slowpoke is truly rare."

His words added a rich and colorful touch to the image of this "Old Six Beasts".

In the stream.

The giant crab, stunned by a series of punches, was completely enraged!

It emitted billowing white steam from its body, and its two giant pincers swung wildly, stirring the stream into a murky mess!
"Roar--!!!"

It opened its mouth, and countless bubbles mixed with water vapor shot out like a machine gun!

Bubble Light!

Moreover, it was a wide-range attack that covered all of Slowpoke and Shellder's escape routes!
Faced with this fierce and relentless offensive.

Slowpoke, however, remained calm and unhurried.

It once again used its telekinetic power to precisely lift the giant tongue clam that had just fallen back into the water.

then……

He used it as a shield, firmly holding it in front of him.

Puff puff puff puff——!
Countless bubbles struck the hard shell of the giant lizard clam solidly, but they burst without leaving a single mark.

Perfect defense!
【…】

[Giant Shell: Thank you so much!]

[Tool-wielding Pokémon confirmed! Hidden weapons and shields—Slowpoke, you have no heart!]

This Slowpoke is quite clever; it uses all its intelligence on figuring out how to use Shellder!

Ye Yinchuan watched this scene and continued his explanation with a smile:
"Family members, look carefully."

"This Slowpoke's choice of this Shellder wasn't random."

"Although this giant tongue clam looks dull, its shell seems to be thicker and heavier than that of an average individual, and the spiral patterns on the shell are also more tightly packed. This means that its physical defense and energy resistance are extremely high."

"This is the real reason why Slowpoke chose it as its 'partner'."

His words made the viewers in the live broadcast room suddenly realize the truth.

[So that's how it is! Slowpoke isn't slow, so Shellder has to be!!!!]

[I've learned something! I'll write this down in my notebook! From now on, I'll pair my Slowpoke with a big, goofy Shellder!]

[Upstairs, you first need to have such a clever old beast...]

Just when everyone was talking about it.

The tide of battle has turned once again!

Perhaps they were tired of being used as a shield and being bombarded by the light of the bubbles.

That hardworking and dutiful "iron-willed" clam seems to have finally been provoked!

hum!
It suddenly opened its hard shell, revealing its soft, black body and its signature tongue!

Next!

A beam of icy blue light, radiating a chilling aura, suddenly shot out from its mouth!

Freezing beam!

The beam of light was as fast as lightning and incredibly precise, striking the giant crab, which was still frantically spewing bubbles, right at the joint of its waving pincers!

click!
A thin layer of ice, instantly frozen!

The giant crab's movements suddenly froze!
The stalemate was completely shattered by this sudden backstab!

A sharp glint flashed in Slowpoke's eyes!

It knows!
The time has come!
The time for evolution has come! It looked like the giant tongue shell had exhausted its strength after shooting out the freezing beam, and the shell was about to slowly close again.

Slowpoke no longer hesitated!

It stretched its tail firmly toward the "tool shell" that had just been fighting alongside it!
This time, it was no longer a test.

Instead, it is filled with a desire and determination for evolution!

[It's here! It's about to evolve!]

[Slowpoke bites its tail! Classic rerun!]

[Bite already! I can't wait to see what kind of Slowbro this combination will evolve into!]

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the classic evolution to take place.

however!
An unexpected incident has occurred once again!

The giant crab that was hit in the joint by the freezing beam suddenly erupted with unprecedented rage after a brief moment of stiffness!
Its crimson eyes were fixed on the two creatures that were about to complete their "merger"!

"Roar--!!!"

A roar of resentment!

Suddenly, a white light burst forth from its body!

Lightning flash!

Immediately afterwards, its eight legs seemed to be equipped with motors, and its speed instantly increased!

Move at high speed!
With the aid of two acceleration skills, its figure almost became a blur!
Just as the shell of the giant lizard clam is about to close completely!

Just as the giant crab claw of the Kingler was about to clamp down on Slowpoke's tail!
It actually...

With its enormous, gleaming pincers, it clamped down on Slowpoke's tail at an incredible angle...

And, the giant tuna's tongue that it couldn't retract in time!
One clamp, two!

"ah--?!"

Slowpoke's perpetually blank expression finally snapped!
It stared wide-eyed in horror, seemingly completely unprepared for such an extreme and bizarre maneuver by the giant crab!
The giant tongue clam was also completely bewildered, its tongue was trapped, and it couldn't even close its shell.

And the giant crab, at the moment of its successful capture, even showed a hint of human-like... bewilderment on its face?
It seems that it itself didn't understand what it had just grabbed.

The three Pokémon were connected in an extremely bizarre way.

【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

What... what's going on?!

Holy crap! You can do this? A...triangle relationship?

Just when everyone in the live stream was stunned.

Om-! ! !
A light of evolution, stronger and brighter than any previous evolution, suddenly erupted from the three Pokémon that were connected together!
The light was so dazzling that it turned the entire stream into a pure white!
Evolution has begun!

But this time, it wasn't one or two things that were enveloped in light.

But...

three!

In the white light, the figures of the three Pokémon seemed to be completely dissolved and crushed, and then reassembled in an unbelievable way!
It's no longer a simple two-in-one.

It is a more complex and chaotic process, yet it follows some peculiar rules... a three-way fusion!
The light slowly faded away.

A completely new figure, unlike anything seen or heard of before, appeared before everyone.

Its main body still retains the pink,憨厚 (honest and simple) outline of Slowpoke, but its size is noticeably larger, and its eyes have lost some of their dullness and gained a bit more... indescribable shrewdness.

Its tail was being held tightly by a seashell.

But that's not the iconic spiral shell of the Slowbro.

It was a large tongue clam with a thick, tightly textured shell! The same one that looked like a clumsy goofball from before!
The Shellder is positioned upside down, with its rear end connected to Slowbro's tail, its head facing outwards, and its eyes looking confused.

However, that's not the most eye-catching thing!
The arms of this dull-shelled beast were surprisingly covered with a pair of... huge, ferocious, and metallic-gleaming crimson crab claws!

It was the giant claw of that irritable giant crab!

This giant pincer was so powerful that even the Slowbro had difficulty lifting it; it was filled with a sense of strength and oppression!
Slowpoke, Shellder, Kingler!

The three Pokémon were forcibly fused together in a bizarre "candied hawthorn skewer" structure!
【…】

【…】

【? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 】

The entire live stream room fell into a deathly silence that lasted for three seconds.

The comments section seemed to crash from shock at the surreal scene!

Three seconds later.

Like a volcanic eruption, a tsunami swept through!
【Oh my god!】

[What...what is this?! A Frankenstein's monster?!]

[Slowpoke! Shellder! Kingler! A trinity, huh?!]

[Top notes of a giant crab, middle notes of a Slowpoke, and base notes of a Shellder? That's ridiculous!]

Beside the stream.

The newborn Pokémon doesn't seem to have fully adapted to its new body yet.

Its Slowpoke part slowly straightened up, looking at its arms with a thoughtful and confused expression.

There was absolutely no joy in the aftermath of evolution.

Just the next second!
Its huge claw on its tail seemed to have its own mind, and with a sudden "snap," it actually clamped down hard on its head!
boom!
Slowpoke fell backward.

He lost his balance and fell into the water, and a rock behind him was shattered by the shearing!
"ah--?!"

The Slowpoke's face instantly revealed a human-like, angry expression!

It suddenly turned around and bared its teeth at the disobedient giant pincer!
Only then did it notice that there was actually a pair of eyes on its claws—the eyes of a giant crab!
A powerful surge of psychic energy coalesced into a small fist and slammed it hard into the crab claw's eye!

"Boom!"

The crab claw, feeling pain in its eye, suddenly retracted.

But soon, it was still not convinced, and waved its arms twice in mid-air before attacking Slowpoke again!
Slowpoke raised its tail and used it to forcefully pin the "clumsy" Shellder on its back against its claws.

The "Iron-Headed Fool," looking dazed and confused, remained completely still despite the impact of the crab claws.

Slowpoke grinned smugly, as if to say, "What can you do to me?"
This scene was full of humor and absurdity.

I see now, this is because they didn't agree on who would form the head!

[Hey streamer! Kingler can evolve together with Slowpoke?! How is this possible?]

Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated:
"This should be an extremely low probability event... Perhaps the genes of Kingler are somewhat similar to those of Shellder? Maybe it was incorporated into Shellder when it evolved from Slowpoke, and that's how this accident happened?"

He tried to explain.

At the same time, the brilliance of the [Discerning Eye for Treasures] swept by in an instant!

A clear panel appeared before his eyes.

Hermit Crab Pokémon: Slowbro

[Attribute: Water/Psychic]

【Level: 38】

【Characteristics: I do my own thing】

[Status: Consciousness conflict, post-evolutionary hyperactivity, hunger]

……

[Trait: Trinity]

Due to special circumstances, an evolutionary deviation occurred, resulting in the coexistence of the consciousnesses of three Pokémon within its body. Slowpoke's consciousness is dominant, while Kingler's claws and Shellder's tail each possess their own independent consciousness. Occasionally, conflicts in these consciousnesses lead to failed actions or even self-destruction, but if the three can be coordinated, they can unleash incredible power.

"Is this okay?"

Looking at the information provided on the panel, Ye Yinchuan had confirmed the situation of this giant pincers-like Slowbro.

"Family members, perhaps today we have witnessed yet another evolutionary path for Slowpoke! And it is an unprecedented and rare evolution!"
