Chapter 395 A New Outdoor Adventure, Tidal Nearshore! The Strange-Colored Claws
Chapter 395 A New Outdoor Adventure, Tidal Coast! I've Tamed the Different Colored Giant Crab! Embracing the Sea!
Tides near the sea.
One of the three major wilderness areas of Crystal City.
Ye Yinchuan had previously explored the Crystal Forest and had made some good gains there, especially treasures like the "Crystal Sun Stone," which could bring long-term and lasting benefits.
Having tasted success, and for the sake of the upcoming live stream, he naturally wouldn't miss out on the equally renowned Tidal Coast.
The reason we chose Crystal City as the location for the tourist park was to explore the wilderness.
To ensure the tourist park had enough "stock" so visitors wouldn't come for nothing, Ye Yinchuan only brought a limited selection of Pokémon, including—
Snorlax, Decidueye, Cthulhu, and Motostoke are some of the older Pokémon.
The newcomer, Miss Skirt, who had just evolved, was taken by Ye Yinchuan's side, not because of her beauty, but simply because there were many Water-type Pokémon in the Tidal Basin, and Grass-type Pokémon could better counter them.
While Ye Yinchuan was heading to the tidal flats near the coast.
In Kirby Land, Incineroar is surrounded by several children, one grabbing its tail, another pulling its whiskers. It yawns, looking utterly dejected.
"You wicked human cat, how dare you leave me here like this, to become a plaything for these little brats... Watch out, I'll burn your so-called amusement park down!"
Sang Biao's thoughts remained unchanged, still as arrogant as ever, but the swaying of its tail slightly betrayed it. Being touched by so many children at the same time was indeed a unique experience...
Many tourists also come to take photos with Incineroar, and Incineroar will occasionally show an evil smile and do some bad things. For example, it suddenly turned a gloomy face on a child, scaring the child to tears. Or it blew fire and set a rude, bald middle-aged man's wig on fire...
Helpless, the staff could only apologize. After all, Incineroar, one of Ye Yinchuan's main Pokémon, held a very high position in Snorlax Park. As long as it didn't really hurt anyone intentionally, they let it go!
"roar……"
The two-headed Tyrannosaurus Rex next to it was dissatisfied. Why was it that everyone else was a Dark-type Pokémon, and Incineroar was so popular with children, while it had to be locked in a cold cage...
Fueled by its rage, the two-headed tyrannosaurus bit into the specially made iron railings, leaving clear, visible bite marks...
(Two-headed Tyrannosaurus Rex: Feed me peanuts!)
The staff and tourists nearby were terrified; being bitten by that thing would be no laughing matter!
Sang Biao tilted his head and looked at the two-headed Tyrannosaurus with a slightly disdainful look, as if to say, "Dude, with your performance, who else should we arrest if not you?"
"roar!"
The two-headed Tyrannosaurus Rex declared that it was very strong.
Sang Biao retorted, "So you're good at fighting? What good is being good at fighting? To survive in this world, you need power and connections!"
……
At this time, Ye Yinchuan had already moved into the area near the tidal zone.
As mentioned earlier, Crystal City is different from ordinary cities...
It is more in line with the Pokémon universe, with a high degree of overlap and integration between human cities and wild environments, just like in the game, where roads may be on water and houses may be integrated with mountains.
At this moment, before Ye Yinchuan lay a beach, and looking further into the distance, the horizon gradually sank, replaced by the sea...
From the sea surface to the beach, you can clearly see the layering effect of the sea level rising and falling with the tides, showing the different appearances of the beach as it is soaked by seawater at different degrees and times.
By now, some Water-type Pokémon can be seen on the beach. Unlike ordinary beaches, the beaches of Crystal City have unevenly distributed, glowing crystals. These crystals contain Pokémon energy and display different luster depending on their type...
At night, this place becomes a special sight, and even when the tide is low, it transforms into a unique night market, attracting tourists as well as various stalls and vendors...
Of course, this area is far from being a true wilderness area; it can only be described as the very edge of the tidal zone near the coast.
Ye Yinchuan lingered in this area for a while, mainly to admire these wild Pokémon.
First, there's the Krabby, a common sight on beaches. This Pokémon has large whites in its eyes and small pupils, and its body is hard and doesn't have that fluffy look, so it's definitely not very cute, and even has a slightly sleazy vibe...
Of course, some people may like the adorable clumsy appearance of the giant crab.
The large-clawed crabs, which like to walk sideways, crawl around on the beach, creating quite an interesting scene.
"Oh, there are two big clawed crabs fighting over there."
Ye Yinchuan moved the camera forward and saw two large crabs fighting over a fish. It was obvious that the reason for the fight was for food.
These two large pincer crabs were spitting out water guns and mud, and they weren't very high-level. It was like two chickens fighting.
[I'm speechless. What's so interesting about these two giant crabs fighting? Streamer, weren't you supposed to be going into the jungle today? Hurry up!]
[Upstairs, don't be so impatient. This is just like cricket fighting, it's so much fun!]
"This guy is still too impetuous. Come with the streamer to enjoy the outdoor scenery and observe the Pokémon ecosystem..."
Ye Yinchuan said that outdoor adventure is not the goal, but rather a form of enjoyment.
I feel the one on the left will win; its pincers are strong and powerful, while the one on the right is clearly struggling!
Why do I feel like it's the right side? The person on the right is more agile, and the person on the left often misses!
The audience was buzzing with discussion.
Just as Ye Yinchuan was about to discuss his views, another large pincer crab strode sideways toward them, bustling about with menacing momentum...
"A heterochromatic claw crab, it's really hit the jackpot!"
Ye Yinchuan's eyes lit up. He was indeed lucky; he encountered a shiny Pokémon right away.
It's a pity it's not shiny. Actually, it's not that special. Moreover, Pokémon like Krabby are so numerous that they're like stray dogs on the street. So the base number is large, and the probability of it being shiny or shiny is much higher. Therefore, its rarity isn't considered very high.
This shiny Kingler crab is the standard color of a unique crab in the game. It looks more golden than a regular Kingler crab, which is orange-red.
Upon seeing the giant crab, Ye Yinchuan inexplicably found a Poké Ball in his hand:
"Thank you for nature's bounty!"
However, Ye Yinchuan is not a Pokémon superhuman, and in this Pokémon world, it's not like you can catch a Pokémon just because you throw a Poké Ball; it's quite different from the game.
He was still observing, looking for a suitable opportunity to subdue it.
Now, this strange-colored giant crab appeared not for any other reason than to steal the sea fish that the two migrating creatures were fighting over. It used its pincers to grab the fish and was about to stuff it into its mouth...
The two fighting giant crabs noticed the heterochromatic giant crab at the same time, exchanged a glance, roared, and brandished their claws to attack the latter...
The heteromorphic crab remained calm, extending one claw to retreat and defend itself, while its other claw continuously brought sea fish to its mouth!
For a moment, the scene became somewhat comical.
[Haha, this heterochromatic king crab is really something else, just like the streamer!]
Is this what they call "when the clam and the crane fight, the fisherman profits"?
As the fight went on, the heterochromatic giant pincer crab's extended claw, used for blocking, was suddenly knocked to the ground, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward again, as the air suddenly went silent.
After a brief pause, it was chased down by two large crabs, who beat it up, stole the fish, and even took the crab claws that had fallen to the ground...
I thought he was a bronze player, but he turned out to be a king!
[What a wonderful crab! Seeing two crabs fighting fiercely over food, it bravely stepped in to resolve the conflict, even sacrificing one of its claws, as if worried its buddies wouldn't have enough to eat!]
The viewers in the live chat couldn't help but make fun of the situation.
Looking at this heteromorphic giant crab, it only has one claw left, and it's almost unbalanced when it walks, looking quite pitiful.
At this moment, the heterochromatic giant crab also noticed Ye Yinchuan's approach and kept blowing bubbles from its mouth, trying to envelop itself and make its body larger in order to scare away the enemy...
This is a self-protection mechanism of the giant crab.
"What a poor thing. I have no choice but to subdue it and take it home to treat it properly."
Ye Yinchuan took out a Poké Ball and threw it at the Shiny Kingler. Because it was injured, the Shiny Kingler's survival instinct was triggered, and it naturally stayed in the Poké Ball and stopped struggling.
The Shiny Kingler Crab has been successfully captured!
[This works? Damn it, so the streamer is the one who actually benefits?]
Thankfully it wasn't a flash, otherwise I really couldn't accept it!
[This exotic crab looks pretty good, otherwise the streamer wouldn't have taken it on his own initiative? Can we chat?]
Ye Yinchuan wiped the Poké Ball clean, put it away, and felt relaxed and happy. He stretched, feeling the moist sea breeze on his face, and felt extremely comfortable.
[Host, shouldn't the giant crab's injuries be treated first? And it hasn't eaten much, should we feed it some?]
"For Pokémon like Kingler, losing their claws during battle is a basic occurrence. It's just that this shiny Kingler was unlucky, or rather, in bad shape, and it just happened to lose one..."
In short, it's a minor injury.
"Judging from its condition, it is indeed a little hungry, but not particularly hungry. If I let it go hungry for a while longer, it will be more effective to bribe it with food later."
Got it, another little trick!
[I just saw that the giant crab's claw fell off, and it seemed unable to move. What happened?]
"The pincers of the giant crab are not only its weapons, but also tools for balancing its body, especially when walking sideways. Without the help of its pincers, it would lose its balance and be unable to move an inch."
Ye Yinchuan offered a brief explanation.
As for the appearance and aptitude of the Shiny Krabby that he had just captured, he briefly mentioned that it was level 7, had an IV of B, and its ability was "Strength Claw," which was standard and nothing special.
Ye Yinchuan also gave a brief explanation of the "Strength Claw" ability. Pokémon with this ability generally have stronger claws and are equipped with an energy that can resist special effects that reduce attack power. This means that normal status effects like Wailing are ineffective against it.
【A big streamer like you would accept such a common Krabby? Even though it's a variant, it's not quite good enough for you, is it? I suggest giving it to our fans...】
"Compared to ordinary Pokémon, if properly bred, it may become a unique existence. Don't worry, I will definitely train this Krabby into a Krabby that will impress you."
Ye Yinchuan responded.
Speaking of Krabby, something came to mind. Krabby is classified as a water crab Pokémon in the Pokédex, which, in Chinese parlance, means river crab or mitten crab...
However, since large-clawed crabs are frequently seen on the beach, they can probably be ignored.
[This streamer is so stingy! They promised fan perks, but aside from that Tutu dog egg, they haven't given away a single one!]
This comment reminded Ye Yinchuan that it had been a while since the last time TuTu Dog's egg was given out, and it was about time to give away the next fan treat.
"It's alright. On this trip to the nearshore tidal zone, I'll choose a Pokémon or an egg, just like always."
Ye Yinchuan had essentially made a promise.
On the other hand, he also remembered the task that Grandpa Hong Yang had entrusted to him: to help his son Hong Yang find a Pokémon...
Ye Yinchuan readily agreed to this small favor, especially since the other party had brought gifts and sincerity to make the request. Therefore, his exploration of the near-shore tidal zone would also be completed with this simple act of kindness.
"One fan, and one old man Hong Yang..."
In Ye Yinchuan's eyes, Hung Hing was of little importance; he only cared about him because of his father. As for whether he was Hung Hing or Hung Wong, it was none of his business.
Besides Krabby, other common Pokémon found on the beach include Shellder and Thylacine.
Just as Ye Yinchuan knew, many of the agate jellyfish had dried out due to dehydration. He picked them up with tools and threw them back into the sea...
There's no way around it, I'm just kind-hearted, and I can't bear to see my Pokémon die right before my eyes.
Shellder, a Pokémon that generally lives on the seabed, is sometimes washed ashore by the waves. It uses its tongue to dig in the sand in search of food.
Ye Yinchuan also temporarily acted as the photographer, taking the audience to record how the giant tongue clam digs in the sand with its tongue.
[Ouch, I heard that the tongue of the giant tongue clam is very soft, doesn't this hurt?]
It seems to be said that higher-grade tongue shellfish use energy to cover their tongues for protection...
Seeing that some viewers had already answered the question in the live chat, Ye Yinchuan didn't repeat it, but simply added:
"The mud on the seabed is relatively soft, and young tongue shellfish generally do not come ashore to look for food."
After taking a brief look at the Pokémon's forms in the vicinity, Ye Yinchuan continued forward.
Walking along the beach leads to a pier over the water, a device that floats on the water and allows people to walk on it. However, it sways with the waves, and the pier may be submerged, especially during high tide.
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan walked from the beach to the pier, as if he were walking into the sea out of thin air. He felt the water vapor in his nostrils. It was the first time that Ye Yinchuan had been so close to the ocean in the Pokémon world.
If you walk further ahead, you'll see some fishermen, and in the distance, a fortress-like outpost...
Beyond the outpost lies the true wilderness, where the number of Pokémon and the level of danger will increase dramatically!
Incidentally, since the variadic giant crab that Ye Yinchuan caught was not actually in the wild area, it doesn't even need to be counted in the catch limit.
Ye Yinchuan was already very familiar with registering and passing through the outpost. Unlike in the past, the staff at the outpost specifically emphasized the time of high tide and urged him to return before high tide, otherwise he would have to face the dangerous sea!
Furthermore, you can also rent jet skis, small kayaks, electric yachts and other water transportation here!
Although he had done his research, Ye Yinchuan was still excited about the upcoming adventure at sea, but also a little worried because he didn't have many true Water-type Pokémon.
"This ocean is so vast!"
As Ye Yinchuan stepped out of the outpost, his view suddenly opened up before him: blue sky and azure sea, waves lapping against the shore and reefs...
Some common and some uncommon water-type Pokémon are scattered around, some leisurely and some appearing and disappearing, cautiously observing their surroundings!
"That one is..."
Ye Yinchuan immediately spotted a Water-type Pokémon that caught his eye, and it was also one of the starter Pokémon!
