Chapter 268 Practical Exam! Exclusive Pokémon on the Entire Internet! Milotic's First Battle! S
Chapter 268 Practical Exam! An exclusive Pokémon battle! Milotic's first battle! Strength, and beauty!
[The host's practical theory skills are very strong; they sound amazing, and even the examiners were impressed!]
Ultimately, this is just theory; we'll have to see how it performs in real-world practice!
As Ye Yinchuan passed the interview and entered the practical stage, the audience became excited.
This means that the streamer has taken another step closer to becoming a professional trainer.
Did they actually get the license for this kid?
[I think the streamer is only recently an adult... almost 500,000 followers, caused a stir in the authentication community recently, and now they want to get a professional license. Are they even leaving any room for their peers to survive?]
[He's already taken them all! Any one of his achievements would easily surpass 99%!]
[Damn it! My own failure is terrible, but the streamer's success is even more worrying!]
Bai Zhi couldn't help but chuckle as she watched the comments in the live stream.
She knew it was just a joke from netizens, like friends teasing each other.
"Keep it up!"
Watching Ye Yinchuan's calm and composed demeanor on the live stream, Bai Zhi also felt a sense of anticipation.
Her ambition is to become a Pokémon doctor, but just like Ye Yinchuan's answer in the interview, if she can become a professional trainer, she will have a bigger stage and her original profession will also have better development.
At the same time, Bai Zhi also discovered that this boy she had a great liking for was progressing much faster than she had imagined.
Inspired by this, Bai Zhi became even more determined to work hard and become even better.
Bai Zhi doesn't have that awkward feeling of "being afraid of my buddy driving a Land Rover".
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...
"I believe you have already read the rules of the practical exam. Next, you need to send out at least three Pokémon to battle against the three Pokémon designated by the examiner. The order in which you send them out is up to you."
The examiner emphasized the rules.
"Each Pokémon can only be used in one battle. The opponents you face should generally meet the standards for the exam. You need to win two battles to pass. Your final score will be determined by taking into account your other performances in the exam. If you win all three battles, you will definitely pass. Therefore, please plan your battle strategy accordingly."
The examiner paused for a moment,
"Candidate No. 9528, although you performed admirably in the interview, your theory score is only 65. According to the rules of the professional examination, the number of candidates who can obtain a license each year is limited. Therefore, please give it your all and try to win every single time... Otherwise, there is still a risk of being eliminated!"
[Haha, a resounding victory? I feel like the streamer Snorlax will win one game, but the rest are hard to say!]
Hey! Don't underestimate the Shiny Winged Owl!
[With Milotic's massive size, it can't be just for show, right? I remember the streamer saying that Milotic is quite powerful, and even has Dragon-type genes!]
In the comments section, a significant number of people were not optimistic about Ye Yinchuan's Pokémon battle performance.
It's understandable, really. They believe that no one is perfect, and everyone's time and energy are limited...
In their eyes, it was already remarkable that Ye Yinchuan could raise a Snorlax so well. If he could raise other Pokémon as well, it would seem like he was cheating.
And that is exactly the case.
Soon, the examiners selected three Pokémon to step forward.
They were the restless Charizard, breathing flames, its eyes burning with ferocity, and its tail burning fiercely behind it.
The other two are the Grass-type Owl and the Water-type Mudkip.
They are all configurations from the starter trio, just with different versions.
[Was the examiner being lenient? It just so happens to be a Water, Grass, and Fire type—all familiar Pokémon. The battle arrangement makes it easy to achieve type advantage!]
[Actually, that's not the case. Mudkip is a Water/Ground type, while Drowblade is a Grass/Flying type. This complex type combination makes it much harder to counter, and without a broad knowledge base, it's easy to overlook certain traits... Without searching, can you immediately tell me which type is the best counter to these two Pokémon?]
That's true. And don't forget, the starter Pokémon all have pretty good base stats. If your trained Pokémon has low base stats, you'll have to compensate through training and other means!
[Has no one pointed this out? Even knowing the type advantages and disadvantages doesn't guarantee you'll be able to pick a Pokémon that counters your opponent... Having three Pokémon is already quite an achievement; some people might even have three identical Pokémon. This actually tests the rationality of the candidate's Pokémon composition!]
Watching the passionate discussions in the live chat, Bai Zhi felt a little dizzy.
She still knows too little about Pokémon battles.
However, it's clear that the professional exams are incredibly complex, with every detail presenting a challenge!
On-the-spot performance, as well as the accumulation and foundation in daily life, are both indispensable!
Looking at the three Pokémon in front of him, Ye Yinchuan felt a sense of familiarity. They were all Pokémon he knew well, and it was as if he could see their appearances in the games.
This should be considered the first time in his life in the Pokémon world that he has participated in a Pokémon battle on such an important occasion.
Let's not even talk about the preliminary matches; the level of competition was completely different.
Although Ye Yinchuan was confident in his Pokémon and believed they could easily defeat the opponents, it was a professional exam after all, so he had to take it seriously and consider which Pokémon he should field.
"Who should we send out for the three matches?"
Ye Yinchuan was having a hard time making a choice, mainly because he was quite eager to try out all of his Pokémon.
Putting Cocodora aside for now, its level is relatively low, so although it can be fought, it's not suitable.
In terms of type advantage, the Fire-type Flamecat has a greater advantage against the Grass-type Owl.
The Water-type Milotic fighting the Fire-type Charmeleon is like a mother beating her son.
Finally, there's the Mudkip from the water system... the Winged Owl is just right.
Thinking about it this way, Ye Yinchuan realized that he happened to have a configuration of three elements: water, fire, and grass. With some arrangement, he could use elemental advantage.
Some might think that with the "Shadow of the Overlord" constantly torturing them, Ye Yinchuan's Pokémon are high-level, have rich battle experience, and superior combat skills, so why bother with the troublesome issue of type advantages...
In fact, this is a form of arrogance.
The opponent before him was indeed not strong enough to put pressure on Ye Yinchuan.
However, if we don't take this seriously now and it becomes a habit, we will be at a great disadvantage when we encounter strong opponents in the future without being aware of attribute advantages.
Here's a little trick: when facing enemies with multiple attributes, the best way to counter them is to first look at their main attribute and use a Pokémon that has an advantage over that attribute. While it might not be a perfect counter, it will at least give you a good fight, and at worst, it will be a tie.
In addition, unlike the equivalent calculation in the game, in the real world of Pokémon, the main attribute has a greater impact than the secondary attribute, so prioritizing the main attribute will be more effective!
"No problem, it's decided... As for Kirby, he's already had his chance to shine in the preliminaries, he'll have plenty of opportunities to perform in the future!"
After making up his mind, Ye Yinchuan didn't hesitate any longer and sent out his first Pokémon.
"I choose you! Milotic!"
Take out a Poké Ball, place it near your mouth and call its name. As the Poké Ball vibrates, it flashes red light and lands, transforming into a giant Pokémon of astonishing height...
Its shape resembles a sea serpent, its posture is extremely gorgeous, and its body is shrouded in water vapor...
Its scales, like enamel, shimmer with a unique luster, and just one glance can calm any inner turmoil.
This is the evolved form of Feebas, Milotic.
Two months have passed since Ye Yinchuan announced that Feebas could evolve into Milotic, but there hasn't been a second Milotic appearing on the entire internet!
Ye Yinchuan underestimated the difficulty of Feebas evolving into Milotic...
The same goes for those netizens who bought the Uglyfish; they felt that Ye Yinchuan could easily evolve Milotic, but when it came to them, it seemed like there was no hope at all.
The price of the Ugly Fish also went from skyrocketing to a point where it was extremely difficult to find, to plummeting back to a relatively normal level, similar to or even lower than that of the Magikarp!
Wow! The streamer's so ruthless, pulling out Milotic right off the bat? Looks like they're really confident in Milotic! Is Snorlax going to be the grand finale?
This should be Milotic's first match appearance across the entire network! Finally, we can see just how strong Milotic really is!
[Stop talking, the pressure is too much! Although it doesn't look fierce at all, compared to this, Charizard is a complete little brother!]
At this moment, the examiners present looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw the Milos sent by Ye Yinchuan.
Although they were all veteran trainers, this was the first time they had ever seen a Pokémon like this.
"Is this Milotic, the legendary evolved form of Feebas?"
"I'm not usually interested in things online, but seeing it with my own eyes today... it's definitely not your average Pokémon!"
"A Pokémon of this size must be quite strong in terms of both power and base stats!"
Those who knew Ye Yinchuan and were mentally prepared for his Pokémon were fine.
The examiners, who were learning about Milotic for the first time, nearly popped their eyes out:
"What did you say? This is the evolution of the Feebas? I've only been in the wild for three months, has the outside world changed that much?!"
[Haha, the streamer only officially started live streaming and building an account less than three months ago, the examiner's information is really outdated!]
[This is hilarious! Such a huge and gorgeous Pokémon, just pulled out like that! It's the first time I've heard of Milotic, it's truly amazing!]
When Ye Yinchuan sent Milotic to battle, his chosen opponent was naturally Charizard.
Milotic faced the Charizard before it, gently swaying its tail. Milotic, who was often tortured by the Shadow of the Overlord, was usually gentle, but once it started fighting, it would show no mercy.
Charmeleon had never encountered such an opponent before, but its volatile and reckless nature led it to attack Milotic under the trainer's command.
With a roar, Charizard spat out three fireballs in succession.
Immediately afterwards, it spewed out thick smoke to conceal its form, and using the fireball as cover, charged towards Milotic, extended its claws, and slashed down fiercely; the Normal-type energy shone with intense light…
Charmeleon is a Fire-type Pokémon, but it also uses Normal-type moves like "Scrape" and "Slash". If it keeps breathing fire in battle and can't defeat the enemy instantly, it will consume a lot of energy, and it's difficult to recover Fire-type energy.
However, if you mix and match moves of different attributes, although it requires the ability to gather energy, you will not encounter the predicament of quickly depleting the energy of a certain attribute.
It's like a printer that contains several different color ink cartridges. If you only use one type, even if there's still plenty of ink left in the printer, that single cartridge will run out very quickly...
Then you can only use other ink cartridges, which limits your options!
Charmeleon's attack, though somewhat probing, was also extremely fierce. If a Pokémon lacking strength and combat experience were to see this, it would probably panic.
But Ye Yinchuan's Milotic has a stable core and is not in a hurry at all.
The water energy surrounding its body condenses into a ring, protecting its entire body, and instantly increases energy output, creating an explosion.
Bang bang bang!
Charizard's "Spark" couldn't penetrate Milotic's "Water Ring" at all. The moment they touched it, they exploded like fireworks, accompanied by boiling steam!
Charizard, which tried to use "Smoke Screen" to hide its body and get close to Milotic to use "Claw" and "Slash", was also hit by the burst of Water Ring and was thrown away by a huge force, crashing heavily to the ground with an incredulous look on its face.
Milotic gave its opponent no time to breathe. The instant Charmeleon was launched away, a stream of water full of vibrational power condensed in front of Milotic and shot out with a bang, hitting Charmeleon and exploding like a small rainstorm!
呲呲!
The flames on the Charmeleon's body emitted smoke because they were wet.
Then it tried to stand up, but it stumbled and staggered, dizzy. Milotic was still hesitating whether to continue its attack, but the water on its tail had already begun to gather, clearly preparing to use the move "Water Tail"...
But Charmeleon eventually collapsed to the ground, unable to rise again!
The examiners present were all a little caught off guard; the battle was already over.
Some examiners were even a little incredulous, and one even stood up to take a look. When Charmeleon was indeed lying on the ground, they looked at Milotic with surprise.
Without a doubt, Ye Yinchuan's Milotic is not only beautiful, but also full of powerful beauty!
"As expected, the gap between us and the enemy is still too great."
Ye Yinchuan's Milotic, after training with [Shadow of the Overlord], has reached level 33, albeit at a slower pace. It's not just all show; it's incredibly strong in actual combat...
The Charizard in front of us, although it has good potential, is only around level 20. It certainly has combat experience, but compared to Milotic, it's just a greenhorn that would break at the slightest touch!
"My Milotic only used a few moves, not even its full strength, how did it fall down?"
Ye Yinchuan hadn't had Milotic battle against an enemy other than his own Pokémon in a long time, so he was a little unaccustomed to it and realized that he had defeated it too quickly.
He, as the trainer, didn't even have time to give commands...
The atmosphere at the scene was like that, and the situation in the live broadcast room was even more explosive, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the whole place was boiling over.
[One-shot? Just like that? You little Snorlax imposter, so your Milotic is this strong? How long are you going to keep hiding it?]
[Great! My dad's been stuck with those ugly fish for a while now, they might have a market again... This is incredible!]
Is it possible that the strength lies in the streamer's training and the streamer's Milotic? Other Feebas, even if they evolve into Milotic, might not perform the same way?
[This is unbelievable! The streamer completely fooled us! I thought Milotic was just a pretty face! He sits there streaming all day, never even fighting, how could he be so strong? Wow!]
[Wait... with that size, and it even looks like a dragon, how weak do you think Milotic could be? It looks terrifyingly strong!]
Bai Zhi watched Ye Yinchuan's performance on the exam hall, and then looked at the comments on the screen. She couldn't help but open her mouth in astonishment.
She was quite close to Ye Yinchuan and had also been in contact with Milos. She really hadn't expected that Milos, who looked so dignified and elegant, would be so powerful when she made a move.
Of course, Milotic's every move was incredibly flashy!
[Wow, you're incredibly talented! How many more surprises do you have in store for us?]
This Milotic would be invincible in any Grand Festival!
The seasoned Charizard trainer realized that this candidate was no ordinary person, and judging from his information, he had battled a Snorlax during the preliminary rounds...
Snorlax is a Pokémon with high base stats and a large size. As long as you can afford to raise it, it's hard for it to be weak in battle!
"Perhaps becoming a professional trainer is already a piece of cake for him!"
The examiner and everyone else present shared similar thoughts.
Regardless, the practical test must continue. Even if we are deeply impressed by the glimpse of Ye Yinchuan's strength, we still have to go through the necessary procedures!
Furthermore, because Milotic made such a stunning debut, the examiners and viewers in the live stream are all very much looking forward to the Pokémon that Ye Yinchuan will send out next, besides Snorlax...
Will it be as strong as Snorlax and Milotic?
However, they clearly hadn't realized that Ye Yinchuan wouldn't be sending out Snorlax, but rather two other Pokémon!
"I choose you, Feathered Owl! My opponent for you is... Mudkip!"
Ye Yinchuan still followed the principle of elemental advantage when choosing an opponent for the Feathered Owl.
When the Touhou appeared, its playful and adorable yet rather flamboyant appearance deeply attracted the examiners' attention, especially its shiny color, which even seasoned trainers couldn't help but envy...
The value and potential of shiny starter Pokémon are self-evident!
As long as it's not too outrageous, it won't be bad.
"So this throwing owl is a shimmering polychrome?"
The examiners checked Ye Yinchuan's information again, including the Pokémon he registered, and then realized that none of the candidate's Pokémon seemed to be simple!
Snorlax, the gluttonous beast; and Cocoa, the money-devouring monster.
The starter Pokémon, Blaze and Owl, are both shiny.
Milotic is almost a one-of-a-kind Pokémon...
Some examiners started to get restless. This candidate was too amazing. They hadn't paid much attention to him before, but now they realized that he probably had some powerful background!
[Awesome streamer! Keep it up, Yu Xiao!]
[Awesome! Awesome! Got the license in one go!]
Don't tell me your Feathered Owl is also a formidable fighter!
At this point, the Feathered Owl is sent into battle.
Its harmless, sparkling eyes revealed a longing for crushing noobs... no, for battle!
