Live Stream Treasure Appraisal: Your elf isn't thriving!

Chapter 637 The Underground Forest and the Mythical Pokémon of the Grass/Dark Type! Eternal Flower Leaf Stem, Blooming and Withering!

"The concentration of life energy here is high enough to be self-sufficient and form an independent ecosystem."

Ye Yinchuan clarified for the viewers in the live stream, "If nothing unexpected happens, the energy source of this forest is related to the precious jade we are looking for."

Ling Zhu's phoenix eyes were also filled with amazement. As a top trainer who had traveled all over the country, this was the first time she had ever seen such a spectacular underground wonder.

The two walked carefully, one in front of the other, toward the altar deep in the forest.

The surrounding plants seemed harmless to them, simply growing quietly. Occasionally, a few insect-type Pokémon they had never seen before would fly past them, curiously observing the two uninvited guests.

The closer one gets to the altar, the stronger the primal and wild aura becomes.

Finally, after passing through a dense thicket of ferns, the altar made of tree roots came into full view.

At the very center of the altar was a green gemstone, its entire body a jade-like emerald green, with countless vines seemingly growing and coiling inside!

In front of Baoyu, a figure was crouching on the altar with his back to them.

It was a Pokémon that looked very much like an ape.

Its entire body is covered in dark brown fur, and its limbs are long and agile, exuding an explosive sense of power. Its eyes are sharp, flashing with a wild light, and it bares sharp fangs, looking extremely aggressive.

Most striking are the deep green vines that grow from its wrists, ankles, and neck, resembling capes and arm armor. These vines are not decorations, but rather an integral part of its body, now wriggling slowly as if they were alive.

[Here it comes! Another boss guarding the gate!]

[This monkey looks fierce! It seems even more intimidating than the Snowman!]

[Host, quick! Same old routine, let's do a quick science lesson!]

Seemingly sensing Ye Yinchuan and Ling Zhu's arrival, the monkey Pokémon suddenly turned around, its scarlet eyes locking onto them!

"roar!!!"

A roar filled with warning and savagery echoed throughout the underground forest!

It pounded its chest violently, and a violent shockwave erupted from it, causing the surrounding plants to bend backward!

Ye Yinchuan stared at the Pokémon, then paused, surprised that even this Pokémon would appear in the Kunlun Ruins.

Logically speaking, this is a Pokémon that has a close relationship with Celebi, the forest god.

After a short silence, he spoke.

"Family members, this Pokémon is named Zarude."

"7

Ye Yinchuan's voice remained calm and steady amidst Sarud's roar.

"Their type is Dark and Grass. They are extremely ferocious Pokémon that live in large groups deep in the forest and are very hostile to outsiders."

"The vines on their bodies are their most powerful weapons, which can be used to attack and bind enemies, as well as have the magical effect of healing wounds. It can be said that in the forest environment, they are the absolute kings."

Ye Yinchuan's gaze fell on the scarlet eyes of the Zarude and added, "Just like before, this Zarude is most likely also transformed from an unknown totem and has been amplified by the energy of that green gem, which is why it is behaving so violently."

[They're not even our friends, and they're Pokémon we don't recognize, so how come you know them all so well?]

[First time watching a live stream? The streamer is like this, he's practically a walking Pokémon database!]

[That's really cool, but it's supposed to be a pack animal, so why is there only one? Did it transform into an unknown totem?]

The moment the words left his mouth, the Zarude had already lost its patience!

Its figure instantly transformed into a black lightning bolt, weaving through countless vines and tree trunks at high speed, hurtling towards Ye Yinchuan and his companion at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive!

"I'll do it."

Facing the menacing Sarud, Ye Yinchuan showed no sign of panic. He simply raised his hand calmly.

He gently tossed out a Poké Ball.

A red light flashed.

A petite yet ethereal figure appeared in the arena.

It was a pure white stem supporting a strange, dark red flower.

Its body is slender and elegant, and its lower body and antennae on its head are indigo blue like Xerneas, full of a sense of sacredness.

But the eternal, three-petaled, black-red flower in its hand, which never fades, exudes a terrifying aura that originates from the god of death.

Life and death, holiness and misfortune.

These two contrasting qualities are perfectly blended in the Eternal Flower Leaf Stem into a unique and unforgettable transcendent beauty.

Eternal flower petal stem!

[Flora-Leaf! It's the evolved Eternal Flora-Leaf! Is it finally going to be used in actual battle?]

[This aura, this beauty, is absolutely stunning! She seems even more ethereal than Diancie!]

[Thanks to the Kunlun Ruins, we had the opportunity to witness the streamer's Pokémon collection!]

When Sarud saw the tiny creature in front of him, which was smaller than his own fist, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.

It roared, and the vines on its arms, like two giant green pythons, suddenly swelled up and lashed out at the Eternal Flower's leaf base with a whistling sound that tore through the air!

Vine whip!

Faced with this devastating blow, the Eternal Flower Leaf simply floated silently in mid-air, its indigo eyes remaining completely calm.

Just as the vine whip was about to touch it.

Its figure vanished from the spot as if it had teleported.

Snapped--!

Two thick vines lashed the ground, leaving two deep furrows and sending stones flying!

His attack missed, and a look of surprise flashed across Zarude's eyes.

The next second, the figure of the Eternal Flower Leaf Stem had already silently appeared above its head.

It gently raised the black and red eternal flower in its hand.

At the center of the flower, a dazzling yet eerie pinkish-purple light suddenly shone!

The power of the moon!

boom!

A thick beam of fairy energy descended from the sky and struck Zarud squarely on the back with an unavoidable force!

"roar-!!!"

Zarud let out a painful cry, and his massive body was blasted from mid-air by the blow, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust!

[Blanched! Instantly?!]

[That damage is outrageous! He was taken down in one move?]

Is this the power of the Eternal Flower? Even this petal stem is unassuming and unassuming!

[There's no way around it, the streamer just has way too many powerful Pokémon!]

The dust settled.

Sarud struggled to its feet; its back was charred black, clearly indicating a serious injury.

The contempt in its scarlet eyes had vanished, replaced by endless anger and horror!

It couldn't understand how such a tiny fairy could possess such terrifying power!

"roar!!!"

Sarud has completely gone berserk!

It roared to the sky, and a dark, violent, evil energy, like black flames, burned fiercely on its body!

Immediately afterwards, it clasped its hands together, and a jet-black giant blade, several meters long and made of pure evil energy, rapidly condensed in its palms!

Hell Thrust!

This is one of the most powerful Dark-type moves, capable of easily tearing through an opponent's defense!

"Ti————"

As Eternal Flower Leaf looked at the massive, black blade that exuded an ominous aura, a hint of solemnity appeared in her eyes for the first time.

It could sense that this move was very dangerous.

It did not choose to hard-connect.

The Eternal Flower in its hand, with its black and red petals, began to slowly rotate.

An energy, of the same origin as the evil energy on Zarud's body, yet purer and more ancient, filled with the aura of "end" and "death," emanated from the flower!

This aura is from the same source as Yveltal's!

"Family members, pay attention." Ye Yinchuan's voice rang out at the right time, "The power of the Eternal Flower Leaf is not simply Fairy-type. Within it, there is simultaneously the life force from Xerneas and the death force from Yveltal."

"When these two forces combine, the techniques it unleashes will undergo a qualitative change."

Just as Ye Yinchuan was giving his explanation.

In front of the Eternal Flower Leaf Stem, countless pink specks of light began to converge.

But this time, these specks of light contained wisps of blackish-red death energy, like ink stains!

Magic shines!

However, it is a mutated version of "Magic Flash" that contains the power of death!

laugh-!!!

A strange yet magnificent beam of energy, no longer purely dazzling but interspersed with countless black and red light threads, burst forth from in front of the Eternal Flower Leaf Stem!

On the other side, Zarud roared and swung his massive black blade as he charged forward!

boom!!!!!!!!

Two completely different and powerful energies collided violently in the center of the forest!

No stalemate!

The moment Zarud's indestructible "Hell Spike" came into contact with that strange beam of light, it was rapidly decomposed and devoured, just like ice and snow melting away!

The beam of light was unstoppable. After engulfing the pitch-black giant blade, it continued its momentum and slammed into Zarud's astonished face!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

A scream more piercing than any before echoed throughout the underground forest!

Zarud's massive body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into several giant trees that were as thick as a person's embrace before finally crashing heavily to the ground and losing consciousness completely.

[This is outrageous! Is this really the damage that Flower Leaf Tear could deal? Even legendary beasts aren't this bad!]

[The Power of Life and Death — Host, you call this a Flower Leaf Stem? This is clearly a little mythical beast wearing a Flower Leaf Stem skin!]

[Damn it! He fooled me again!]

After a brief silence, the chat in the live stream room exploded.

Eternal Flower Leaf's performance in this battle was undoubtedly revolutionary.

Its elegant figure and its destructive power created a stark contrast, leaving an indelible impression on everyone.

The battle is over.

The Eternal Flower petal gracefully flew back to Ye Yinchuan's side. The Eternal Flower in his hand shone with a restrained light, and the terrifying aura of death dissipated with it.

It nuzzled Ye Yinchuan's fingers affectionately with its little head, its indigo eyes filled with anticipation for praise.

"Very well done, flower petals and stems."

Ye Yinchuan smiled and took out a pink tree fruit containing pure life energy from his backpack, feeding it to the creature as a reward.

The Eternal Flower Leaf Stem squinted its eyes happily, savoring the food in small bites, as if the terrifying power it had just unleashed to instantly kill a powerful enemy was merely an illusion.

Ye Yinchuan slowly walked up to the unconscious Sarud.

as predicted.

After it lost consciousness, its body began to dissipate into specks of light. Finally, an unknown totem, dark green in color, shaped like the letter "Z" and covered with strange patterns, appeared.

"Another one, an unknown totem."

Ye Yinchuan was unfazed and skillfully took out a Poké Ball to capture the culprit.

Then, he walked to the altar and gently took down the green jade that exuded a powerful life force.

The jade felt warm and smooth to the touch, as if holding a beating heart, from which a vibrant energy continuously flowed.

"This precious gem contains the life essence of all things in the forest; I call it the Forest Gem," Ye Yinchuan demonstrated to the live stream audience. "Its effects are naturally related to the Grass type, boosting Grass-type Pokémon. It should also have healing, purifying, and even life-extending effects!"

Thus, the eighth precious jade is obtained!

So, does Zarude, this Pokémon, actually exist?

[One day, perhaps we'll be able to see the real Zarude in a streamer's livestream?]

[Please, streamer, when you get back, could you do a recap series and give us a more detailed introduction to these Pokémon?]

"no problem."

Unable to refuse the enthusiasm of the comments, Ye Yinchuan readily agreed.

Ye Yinchuan carefully put away the "Senluo Precious Jade," feeling its vibrant vitality, and was filled with emotion.

Perhaps it's because my current Pokémon lineup and strength are too strong, I've been overcoming obstacles with ease all the way.

If one lacks sufficient strength, collecting even one precious jade would likely be a life-threatening endeavor.

Those unknown totems are the best navigation.

Judging from their movement patterns, it seems that this underground forest leads to the location of the next precious jade.

Even viewers can sense the unique features of the Kunlun Ruins: a network of interconnected passageways, one after another, leading to secret rooms with vastly different styles and characteristics.

Guided by the unknown totem, the surrounding vegetation gradually thinned out, replaced by hard rock walls. A faint smell of ozone filled the air, and occasionally a soft "buzzing" sound could be heard.

"There seems to be a strong electrical fluctuation here." Ling Zhu frowned, keenly sensing the anomaly in the air.

Ye Yinchuan also noticed it. His communicator emitted a slight electromagnetic interference, and the screen occasionally flashed with static.

Finally, the unknown totems led them to a huge rift valley.

The crack was bottomless, but from below, dazzling blue lightning flashed continuously, illuminating the pitch-black abyss.

"This is—" Ye Yinchuan peered down, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Deep within the fissure, it seemed to connect to a massive energy source. Countless thick, cable-like rocks, coiled with electric light, appeared alive, meandering and spiraling into the unknown distance.

This looks dangerous. Should we just go down? We can't exactly climb over here, can we?

[Host, what do you say? It seems the next precious jade won't be easy to collect!]

Ye Yinchuan took a deep breath.

In any case, this is the kind of situation where the child can truly shine!
