Chapter 193 My Poppy Dolphin seems to have evolved, but also not completely! It just gained a heart.
Chapter 193 My Poppy Dolphin seems to have evolved... or maybe not completely evolved! It just has an extra heart?
[Does the one-horned rhinoceros family have dragon-like genes? There seems to be such a claim, but is there any evidence to support it?]
I always felt that Pokémon's genetic makeup was very complex. For example, many Pokémon that aren't Psychic-type can still use Psychic-type moves.
Ye Yinchuan spoke up, sharing his insights:
"Like Fairy-type Pokémon, Dragon-type Pokémon have the potential to master various types of energy, such as Electric, Water, and Fire. Rhyhorn can not only learn Thunder Fang, but some Rhyhorn Pokémon can also master Fire Fang..."
Wow, I was shocked when I searched it up! There really are such powerful one-horned rhinoceroses?!
[Uh... there's a one-horned rhinoceros overseas that can even "freeze its teeth"!]
It seems that the ancestors of this one-horned rhinoceros were quite formidable!
After discussing the one-horned rhinoceros, Ye Yinchuan found his next contact.
@BrilliantWaterPower: [Host, I've trained a Poppy dolphin, and it seems to have evolved recently, but it also doesn't seem to have fully evolved. Can you help me figure out what's going on?]
Upon seeing this comment, Ye Yinchuan immediately realized what was special about this Pokémon.
[You have approved the connection request from user "Brilliant Water Power"!]
[Connection successful!]
With the prompt, the connection screen appears.
The other person was dressed very elegantly, wearing a blue suit, and his hair was styled and styled. Although his temples were a little gray, he had a neatly trimmed mustache and looked like a middle-aged gentleman.
"Foreigners?"
Ye Yinchuan never expected that there would be overseas people in his live broadcast room.
"Hey! Hey, streamer! You can call me Adam! I'm a Pokémon Coordinator who uses Water-type Pokémon! My goal is to train all my Pokémon to be elegant and gorgeous!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged gentleman placed one hand in front of him, bowed slightly, and greeted Ye Yinchuan.
"Dear host, I believe you have seen my question. I hope you can help me answer it so that my Poppy dolphin can take another step on the road to elegance and splendor."
At this moment, the comments section also reacted.
[So elegant, so incredibly elegant!]
[I don't think he's handsome, but he's inexplicably charming. How come?]
[It seems the Poppy dolphin didn't have any evolutionary forms, right?]
[Don't rush, let's see what the host has to say!]
"Adam? That name sounds familiar, and that look... I feel like I've seen him somewhere before!"
Ye Yinchuan thought to himself.
He knew, of course, that the Poppy dolphin had an evolutionary form, but it was very special.
Now is not the time to lay all the cards on the table.
One problem is that it's too abrupt; the other is that we still don't know whether the Poppy dolphin Adam mentioned has actually evolved.
If the other party's dolphin hasn't evolved yet, then there's no point in saying anything.
"Shine, baby, Adam."
Ye Yinchuan got straight to the point.
But then Adam suddenly said:
"Hey streamer, you're pretty handsome, but you're a bit lacking in style. Come visit me sometime, and I can give you a makeover for free."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
[Hilarious! Does this streamer think they're a Pokémon? And they're not even flashy enough!]
One comment perfectly captured his feelings.
Adam, on the other hand, didn't hesitate and started moving.
He was transported to a room with a huge swimming pool, in which several Pokémon were swimming.
Wow, another rich person, always having such huge swimming pools!
[That's... a sea lion? And a sea serpent!]
[There are also cherry blossom fish and heart-shaped fish!]
Is that a loach? And a lanternfish...?
[My goodness, so many Water-type Pokémon! This could fill a small aquarium!]
Ye Yinchuan's gaze was also constantly sweeping over the swimming pool in this room.
One after another, Water-type Pokémon appeared, dazzling him.
Among them were some Pokémon that Ye Yinchuan had never encountered before in the live stream, Pokémon that he might not even see in real life.
For example, seal balls and sea lions.
Mud loach and catfish king.
Howling whales and such...
[I think I saw Feebas! Is Adam planning to breed Feebas into Milotic?]
[And there's a King Goldfish, that's amazing...]
[A Poppy dolphin! I saw a Poppy dolphin! Wait, is that a Poppy dolphin?]
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan's gaze also fell on the protagonist of this video call, the Poppy dolphin.
The pod dolphin has a very graceful appearance and is a strong swimmer. It can swim freely in the water, occasionally leaping out of the water to breathe before falling back in.
Its appearance is basically that of a dolphin, with bluish-green skin, a lighter belly, white wave-like patterns on the sides of its body, and white parts on its dorsal fin, where the white meets the blue, resembling water ripples.
But the most distinctive feature of the Poppy dolphin is the water ring on its tail.
It is said that this water ring is made by mixing the viscous secreted from its pores with water.
Poppy also possesses some traits of the Psychic and Fairy types, and can master moves of the corresponding types.
Furthermore, they can use ultrasound to sense the moods of other creatures.
Ye Yinchuan noticed that this pod dolphin had a heart-shaped marking on its chest, which was evidence that it had evolved into Dolphin Man.
In his normal state, Dolphin Man looks no different from Pop Dolphin.
"Host, did you see that? My Poppy dolphin started glowing about two weeks ago. Although it shows signs of evolution, there aren't many changes. The biggest change is that it has a heart on its chest..."
While the visual appeal has increased, it still feels like it's not quite enough for true evolution... So I wanted to find out exactly what's going on with my Poppy dolphin. Has it evolved, or has it mutated?
At this moment, the live chat was also waiting to see what Ye Yinchuan would say.
[It must be due to individual differences, right?]
[The Poppy dolphin has no evolutionary form!]
[Could it just be a level up, or that it learned a new move and was mistaken for evolving?]
Clearly, the people of this world have no idea that Dolphin Man exists.
On the other hand, Dolphin Man himself hides himself and doesn't let anyone see the moment he transforms from Pop Dolphin into Dolphin Man.
Ye Yinchuan believes that this habit is actually inspired by the Superman transformation, where no one can see it.
It's Superman, the one who always has to run to a phone booth every time he transforms.
That said, many superheroes who need to transform do this.
It seems that part of the reason for this setting is that they were too weak before transforming, and if their identity were known, they would be easily targeted... or they just wanted to live a peaceful life as ordinary people and did not want to expose their identity.
"Um……"
After weighing the pros and cons and combining the available information, Ye Yinchuan organized his thoughts:
"Adam, your Bop dolphin has evolved. It's not an ordinary Bop dolphin, but a Bop dolphin that has awakened ancient genes... Its real name is unknown. But I usually call it, Dolphin Hero!"
[Dolphin Hero? Streamer, are you sure?]
[No, this looks exactly like a regular porpoise dolphin! If this counts as evolution, then getting a haircut counts as evolution too? Could you be any more perfunctory?!]
[I'm even more amazing; I evolve just by trimming my nails.]
[What's this? My girlfriend bled from her butt and she was like a completely different person, that's real evolution! A super transformation!]
[Can you hold your temper? How many times has this happened already? I dare say, this streamer's understanding of Pokémon is at least a thousand years ahead of ours!]
Ye Yinchuan glanced at the comments and felt a little gratified.
After streaming for so long, my fan base has grown, and my credibility has gradually been built up.
Of course, there are always some clueless new fans who jump around and shout as soon as they come in.
Ye Yinchuan believes that having both is the norm.
"Dolphin Man? Streamer, I've never heard of such a Pokémon before… Actually, I know that no evolved form of the Poppy Dolphin has been discovered yet. If this really is Dolphin Man, then it would be a major discovery for the Poppy Dolphin species!"
Adam was a little excited, but also puzzled. "But what's so special about Dolphin Man? Why does its name have the character 'Hero' in it? If translated into our language, wouldn't that be a suffix for superhero?"
Ye Yinchuan nodded. Although Adam didn't know much about Dolphin Man, his understanding of the name was quite accurate:
"That's right, he's a superhero. What makes Dolphin Man special is that he looks like an ordinary pop dolphin most of the time, but once he transforms, his ancient genes awaken, and he becomes the real Dolphin Man... This is also Dolphin Man's characteristic, 'All-Powerful Transformation'! It means that once he transforms, he becomes incredibly powerful, almost omnipotent!"
[Really? I remember that besides being fast swimmers, podzolites are actually quite weak?]
[Yeah, even if they could transform, how strong could they be?]
Ye Yinchuan almost laughed at this statement.
How strong can it be?
In the game, the Dolphin Man, after his all-powerful transformation, boasts a base stat total of 650. Are you scared yet?
With a physical attack value of 165, and other stats close to 100, it truly deserves the title of an all-rounder!
It's important to know that in the game's lore, a legendary Pokémon like Ho-Oh only has a base stat total of 680.
In his all-powerful form, Dolphin Man is practically a mythical beast!
Of course, Ye Yinchuan believes that in this world, the level of mythical beasts is even higher than that in the settings of games and anime.
Because my [Insightful Eye] can only see the individual values and base stats of divine beasts, it means that the strength of divine beasts can hardly be measured by numerical values!
Even if Dolphin is powerful, it's probably only far superior to ordinary Pokémon, but it can only approach them, not reach the level of true legendary Pokémon.
However... just like in the original work, there are some powerful Pokémon that are strong enough to fight against legendary Pokémon.
The power and growth potential of Pokémon are limitless.
If certain conditions are met, it is not impossible to break through the limitations of race and individual values and create miracles!
Regardless.
At least for now, Ye Yinchuan has not found a situation in this world where everyone has a legendary Pokémon, like in the Pokémon anime.
"All-powerful transformation? Ancient genes? Host, could you elaborate?"
"Of course. Poppy is probably a very ancient Pokémon. They possess powerful ancient genes within them. Perhaps in some era, every Poppy was a Dolphin Hero!"
"And 'All-Powerful Transformation' is Dolphin Man's unique characteristic. Once transformed, all of Dolphin Man's abilities will surge to an astonishing level, and his form will undergo a complete transformation..."
One theory is that the energy of the spirits in this era is too scarce to sustain Dolphin Man's all-around form for long, so he usually exists only as a Poppy Dolphin. In a more ancient era when their species was at its peak, the so-called all-around form was Dolphin Man's normal state!
"Another theory is that Dolphin Warriors were the same in the past as they are now. The reason they are like this is because their species evolved a characteristic for survival: to accumulate energy by appearing weak in their ordinary form in order to gain the power of their all-powerful form!"
As Ye Yinchuan spoke eloquently, the live chat was buzzing with discussion.
[That makes some sense... but what exactly does this Dolphin Man look like? It seems so abstract. Without concrete evidence, it's hard for us to believe you!]
[I can't even imagine it. It's hyped up so much, is it really that powerful? Could you give an example? What level of power would it be among Water-type Pokémon?]
Ye Yinchuan took a deep breath and responded to the comments:
"Let me put it this way, normally Poppy Dolphin is just a pushover against Squirtle... but if it unleashes its full power as Dolphin Man... even Blastoise would have to call it 'bro'!"
