Chapter 192 The Unicorn Rhinoceros Evolves into the Unicorn Rhinoceros Beast! Why can it wield the T
Chapter 192 The Evolution of the Unicorn Rhinoceros... The Unicorn Rhinoceros! Why can it wield the "Thunder Fang"?
[Wait, how did the streamer know that this nine-tailed fox had waited for a thousand years? Did he just blurt it out?]
I almost believed it!
Faced with the speculation in the live chat, Ye Yinchuan responded calmly:
"The tip of the Nine-Tails' tail has a golden streak. When the Nine-Tails is young, it may only have a part of it. But when the Nine-Tails gets older, the golden part will gradually spread, making its beige fur gradually darker until it turns golden."
[Huh? This nine-tailed fox's fur does indeed have a golden sheen!]
[But at most it only means it has lived for a very long time, not necessarily a thousand years, right?]
This is true; there are studies and case studies to back it up.
"No rush, Xiaogang, could you take a closer look at the Nine-Tailed Fox's tail?"
At this moment, Xiao Gang did the same.
The tip of the Nine-Tailed Fox's tail was a deeper gold, but where the colors were layered, a swirling stripe extended from the gold part.
"See this pattern? Every hundred years a Nine-Tails lives, it gains a new supernatural pattern on its tail, similar to tree rings. If I'm not mistaken, this Nine-Tails has one supernatural pattern on each of its nine tails."
In fact, the concept of "supernatural patterns" was made up by Ye Yinchuan.
But this nine-tailed fox does indeed have this characteristic.
This is the result of his vision and careful observation, which he obtained by using the "Insightful Eyes of Auspiciousness".
It's not entirely made up, actually.
It is a deduction made by combining the known condition that "the fur of the nine-tailed fox will gradually become darker and golden as it ages".
[This doesn't make sense, does it? Each tail has a special marking, and even if it takes a hundred years, that's only nine hundred years in total. What do you mean by a thousand years? Besides, were the Nine-Tailed Fox born waiting for this?]
[Upstairs, nitpicking like this is pointless... The streamer saying "a thousand years" might just be a casual way of saying it. Is there a difference between nine hundred years and a thousand years?]
Ye Yinchuan was also wondering if there was something wrong with his understanding.
Is it possible that this "supernatural power mark" is something that suddenly grows out when the Nine-Tailed Fox reaches a certain age or comprehends "supernatural power"?
The number of children has nothing to do with age.
But that's not important; it's enough to give the audience an explanation.
Let them discuss and imagine the rest themselves.
"Did you see this Poké Ball? It's a Poké Ball design from at least eight hundred years ago..."
Ye Yinchuan analyzed.
The Poké Ball on the table is also evidence of Ninetales' age.
Just then, a "thump-thump" sound came from outside the gate.
What was that sound?
It sounds like something is knocking on the door!
The viewers in the live stream were completely captivated.
The sound was so sudden that even Ye Yinchuan was startled.
"Eek!"
Nine-tailed Fox walked towards the gate of the house, somewhat displeased because its joy at reuniting with its master had been disturbed.
Xiao Gang followed.
Under the control of the Nine-Tails' power, the gate of the mansion suddenly opened.
The two brothers who rushed in from outside were none other than Graveler and Rhinoceros. They had broken free from the Nine-Tails' control and had actually chased him all the way here.
Why does Kurama seem a little angry?
[It feels like an ex and current partner are fighting over someone...]
[Waaaaah, I'm so heartbroken for Graveler and Rhinoceros! They don't seem very bright, but they're so devoted to their owner!]
[Isn't the Nine-Tailed Fox the same? If, as the streamer says, it waited for a thousand years... then it's the original one, isn't it!]
"roar!"
"Heh!"
The rhinoceros and the gorilla pounced on the nine-tailed fox as soon as they saw it, ready to attack.
The rumbler immediately launched a "rock-grinding" and "rolling" attack, like a destructive yo-yo, hurtling towards the Nine-Tailed Fox.
The one-horned rhinoceros is even more skilled, directly using "Horn Drill" and "Straight Drill," and also enchanting it with a "Thunder Fang." Electric energy spins rapidly on the horn, and the powerful thunderous force seems to tear through the darkness!
"No! Gravestone! One-horned rhinoceros!"
Brock stepped directly in front of Ninetales, not wanting his Pokémon to accidentally injure it.
When the rhinoceros and the one-horned rhinoceros saw Xiao Gang doing this, they hurriedly tried to stop, but it was too late.
And so, Brock worried that the two Pokémon would harm Ninetales.
The two Pokémon were worried that they might hurt Brock.
But Ye Yinchuan knew that their worries were unnecessary.
Even if Brock's two Pokémon were doubled in number, they still wouldn't be a match for this Ninetales...
This is a thousand-year-old fox spirit!
It has S-rank individual values, making it one of the most talented Nine-Tails!
It's even less likely that the Nine-Tailed Fox would stand by and watch Xiao Gang get hurt.
"Supernatural power"!
But when the Nine-Tailed Fox unleashed this attack, the vortex pattern on its tail, which Ye Yinchuan called the "divine power pattern," lit up at that moment.
There was also a small line that lit up, including between the eyebrows of the nine-tailed fox.
The powerful Psychic-type energy spread outwards from the Nine-Tails as its center.
Whether it was the rumblestone rolling in mid-air or the charging rhinoceros, they were all forcibly stopped at this moment, as if time had stopped!
【Holy crap, is this telekinesis?】
Wait... why does this rhinoceros know Electric-type moves?
Wow, that Nine-Tails is so cool!
Ye Yinchuan was not surprised to see this.
Brock's two Pokémon are like little brothers in front of Ninetales, they still need to train more!
He explained:
"This isn't telekinesis. If I had to name a type, it's a super-enhanced version of telekinesis cultivated to its peak. Compared to this, supernatural power is like comparing the moon to a grain of rice!"
[Supernatural powers? Never heard of that before...]
[I think I know something about this magical power that's said only divine beasts can wield! Ordinary creatures would instinctively feel fear just from being touched by it!]
[Holy crap, could it be because this nine-tailed fox has lived for so long that it's cultivated into a divine beast?]
Ye Yinchuan nodded in agreement with the comments.
As far as he knew, Ho-Oh, Lugia, the Legendary Beasts, the Legendary Birds, and the Legendary Mushrooms were all capable of wielding supernatural powers...
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this move has the aura of a mythical beast.
Of course, it's not something only mythical beasts can master; after all, even Egg and Cuckoo can master it in the game.
However, in the setting of Egg, mental strength is extremely powerful.
Gugu, on the other hand, is regarded by some countries as a god of wisdom who knows the truth of the world!
In other words, besides legendary Pokémon, there are also some special Pokémon with strong spiritual power that can wield "psychic abilities".
Even if these Pokémon are not Psychic-type, they still possess some of the characteristics of Psychic-type Pokémon to varying degrees.
"Nine-Tails, put them down..."
Xiao Gang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the rumblestone and the one-horned rhinoceros had been subdued and were safe.
But he immediately realized something was wrong.
Because the Nine-Tails didn't listen to him, its supernatural power was increasing, and he could even see that the previously invisible energy was gradually turning red...
The supernatural power was squeezing the Gravestone and the One-Horned Rhinoceros, putting immense pressure on them...
Both the rumbler and the one-horned rhinoceros struggled painfully.
Furthermore, a ghost-type energy was emanating from Nine-Tails.
"Oh no... Because of the attacks from the Rhinoceros and the Graveler, the Nine-Tails' resentment accumulated over a thousand years has been unleashed! It sees the Rhinoceros and the Graveler as the enemies who killed Brock in his previous life!"
Ye Yinchuan, who possesses the "Heart of Listening," immediately sensed the situation of the Nine-Tailed Fox.
At this moment, the Nine-Tails' "supernatural power" was also mixed with "resentment".
In the real world, the effect of "resentment" is to drain the enemy's energy to enhance one's own power...
If your energy is completely drained, it's a minor issue that you can't use your moves; the real problem is that you die from exhaustion and depletion of energy!
"No, no! Nine-Tails!"
Seeing the rhinoceros and the rumbler quickly become painful and weak, with cracks even appearing on their hard bodies, Xiao Gang felt heartbroken.
He felt guilty for waiting a thousand years for Ninetales, but these two Pokémon were also the result of his feelings for them that he had nurtured since childhood!
"Xiao Gang, calm down and listen to me. There's still one more way. We can get the Poké Ball on the table and call Ninetales back into it! Even though Ninetales has lost its mind, if you use that Poké Ball, you might be able to revive it!"
Upon hearing Ye Yinchuan say this, Xiao Gang immediately did as instructed.
He quickly ran back, then, holding the ancient Poké Ball, went to Ninetales:
"That's enough! Nine-Tails! Come back! You've done very well! Graveler and Rhyhorn are good kids, not our enemies!"
Brock held the Poké Ball and earnestly called out to Ninetales.
Ninetales, whose eyes were originally red, saw Brock holding a Poké Ball and, in a daze, seemed to see its master from a previous life. Its eyes softened.
The power dissipated, and Nine-Tails transformed into a red light, returning to its Poké Ball.
Just as the Nine-Tails returned.
The rhinoceros and the rumbler both fell to the ground, and the surrounding houses suddenly changed into ruins and desolation.
Upon closer inspection, the place where the delicacies had just been displayed was actually just some wild fruits.
If there's one place in the entire mansion that remains intact, it's the image of the Nine-Tailed Fox and its owner, which appears to have undergone special maintenance.
However, at this very moment, it began to drift away in the wind and turn into dust.
Xiao Gang looked thoughtfully at the Rhino and Graveler that had fallen to the ground, as well as the Ancient Poké Ball in his hand.
I checked the injuries of the two Pokémon, and thankfully they weren't too serious.
This house... is definitely problematic! It's terrifying, like a trick in a horror movie!
If Graveler and Rhinoceros don't come, is it possible that Brock will be left here forever?
Thankfully, it wasn't maggots or mud or anything; it was just wild fruit!
Seeing this, Ye Yinchuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He was even prepared to use the "Heavenly Hands" to gently touch the affected area from a distance, but since Xiao Gang could handle it, there was no need for him to intervene.
After all, touching someone from a distance costs points!
"Host, what should I do now?"
Xiao Gang pointed the camera at the Poké Ball.
Ye Yinchuan was also taken aback. Having subdued such a powerful nine-tailed fox, was it really necessary to ask what to do?
"What do you mean, Versailles?"
"No... Streamer, I've been thinking from the very beginning that even if reincarnation really exists, I'm not the Nine-Tails' true master. Rather than waiting for it to realize this one day, I'd rather give it its freedom now."
Hearing Xiao Gang say this and seeing his serious expression, Ye Yinchuan was somewhat surprised.
This is a thousand-year-old Nine-Tails that has mastered "supernatural power" and is incredibly powerful.
As a professional trainer, Brock should know best the value of this Ninetales.
With this Nine-Tails, he has the power to sweep through most gyms and dangerous wilderness areas!
Are you crazy? What are you thinking? So many people dream of having a Pokémon like this, and you actually want to release it?!
Just consider it an inheritance from a past life... Don't be fooled!
Am I the only one who thinks this is true love?
[Wait a minute, I think Xiao Gang is very rational. What if such a powerful Nine-Tails goes out of control if left by his side? Also, the Nine-Tails recognizes its master, not the current Xiao Gang. Haven't you all noticed that the Nine-Tails wants to turn Xiao Gang into its master's likeness?]
Ye Yinchuan also looked at the comments and thought about the matter seriously.
He began to understand Xiaogang's thoughts.
"It's simple, just break the original Poké Ball, right? If you can still catch Ninetales, consider it a continuation of your relationship. If not, it means your relationship has come to an end... If Ninetales doesn't want to leave you, and you like Ninetales, your feelings can be rekindled. Why be so sentimental?"
[Haha, thumbs up for the streamer! What a straightforward approach!]
[Yes, yes, that's what I think too. If the Nine-Tails just wants to be with its master, not to be free, then staying with Xiao Gang is the happiest outcome for it!]
[These Poké Balls are almost extinct...they're worth a lot of money, please don't!]
"Answerer, you're right."
Xiao Gang picked up the ancient Poké Ball:
"Come forth, Nine-Tails!"
As soon as the red light touched the ground, the Nine-Tailed Fox's powerful and elegant form was revealed, leaving everyone mesmerized.
"Eek."
At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox had regained consciousness. It looked around at the surrounding houses and then at Xiao Gang.
It also realized something.
"Nine-Tails, your true master passed away a long time ago. I am Xiao Gang, not someone else. You no longer need to abide by any so-called promise, waiting here in vain... a thousand years. If you have waited for a thousand years, you must have thought about leaving this place, right? If so, you are free now!"
As he spoke, Xiao Gang seemed to have made up his mind and threw the Poké Ball in his hand to the ground.
Even modern Poké Balls are at risk of breaking, let alone those from a thousand years ago, which are already extremely fragile!
And so, with a crack, the ancient Poké Ball from a thousand years ago shattered.
Looking at the fragments of the Poké Ball, Ninetales' gaze was calm, revealing no emotion.
But after gazing at it for a long time, it finally turned around!
Watching as the nine tails swayed, they disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Ye Yinchuan's feelings were also quite subtle and complex.
Perhaps Xiao Gang is right; the Nine-Tails' inner conflict has been resolved, and letting it go free is the right thing to do.
With the Nine-Tails' strength, it should be able to live well even in the wild.
Wow! The thousand-year-old Nine-Tails was just let go like that!
[I'm impressed! Do you even understand what it means to be a professional trainer? If it were me, with this Ninetales, I'd reach Elite Four within a year!]
"Thank you, host. You solved my problem and helped me make the final decision."
Xiao Gang's tone was tinged with regret, but mostly with relief.
"Have you ever thought that if you kept Ninetales by your side, you would instantly become a top-tier trainer?"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but ask.
"But streamers, which top trainer didn't climb up the ranks step by step through their own strength?"
As Xiao Gang spoke, he instructed the rhinoceros and the rumbler to lead the way.
"You're right... Brock, my friend, you are the true professional trainer!"
Ye Yinchuan was filled with awe.
He planned to chat with Xiaogang a little longer, at least until he came down the mountain.
Otherwise, in the dark, it would be too inhumane to just hang up the connection.
However, a figure blocked Xiao Gang's path.
"It's the Nine-Tails!"
Xiao Gang's eyes lit up. "Nine-Tails, are you here to say goodbye?"
But then Nine-Tailed Fox nodded and then shook its head.
Ye Yinchuan succinctly put it:
"It's come to you. Take it home and give it a new home!"
His tone was relaxed, with a hint of relief.
In Ye Yinchuan's view, this might not be such a bad ending.
However, both the one-horned rhinoceros and the rumbler seemed to be facing a formidable enemy and appeared somewhat frightened.
[Nine-Tails: I came to join you, not to tear you apart!]
It seems that Kurama (the Nine-Tails) has truly accepted Brock!
What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get the ball!
At this moment, Xiao Gang was also excited, even though he had already decided to release the Nine-Tails.
But the feeling of losing and then regaining it still stirred his heart.
"This time, I won't let go!"
Xiao Gang took out his most precious Poké Ball, a Gigantamax Ball, and gently placed it in front of Ninetales.
Ninetales came closer, gently nudged the Poké Ball, and then turned into a red light, actively scoring the goal!
The thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox has been successfully subdued!
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Even Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but be moved.
Pokémon are inherently intelligent, let alone a thousand-year-old Nine-Tails.
Xiao Gang's move truly won over the Nine-Tails' heart and earned its heartfelt approval!
"A one-horned rhinoceros... what is that?"
Just when Xiao Gang had subdued the thousand-year-old Nine-Tailed Fox and everyone thought it was all over, a light appeared on the One-Horned Rhinoceros.
"It's about to evolve! Congratulations, double happiness!"
Ye Yinchuan could only say that Xiao Gang's luck was simply too incredible.
I came to the mountain village for a relaxing vacation, and ended up taming a thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox.
His one-horned rhinoceros has now evolved due to the stimulation of the Nine-Tailed Fox's power!
[Not a bro? Is this how you professional trainers play?]
[I thought of Ah Chong... no, even Ah Chong isn't as heavyweight as this guy!]
Seeing the comments, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but laugh.
I once thought Ah Chong's luck had reached its peak, but I never expected there were still experts out there...
But can Xiaogang's situation be called luck? Perhaps it's destiny?
In short, the evolution of the one-horned rhinoceros was completed right before everyone's eyes.
The evolved form of the one-horned rhinoceros is the drill-horned rhinoceros.
The most significant feature and change is undoubtedly that, after evolution, it is able to stand on two feet.
Although it appears that the shell coverage has decreased.
But in reality, its defensive capabilities are even greater. Even cannons cannot harm it. Its tough skin is so strong that even lava cannot feel its heat!
The single horn on the head of the Drillhorn Rhinoceros has also evolved into a spiral-shaped drill, which can rotate freely, making the horn strike more powerful and capable of drilling through rocks and digging tunnels...
The tail of the one-horned rhinoceros is very short and almost invisible.
But after evolving, the Drillhorn has a very long tail, which is said to be able to sweep down a building with a single tail!
The standing rhinoceros is nearly two meters tall, and its imposing presence is immense.
Furthermore, although the Drillhorn's intelligence increased after evolution, it wasn't particularly clever...
"Very good!"
Xiao Gang hugged the Drillhorn Beast. Although it had been tortured by the Nine-Tailed Fox, it had evolved, which could be considered a blessing in disguise!
After Xiaogang came down the mountain, Ye Yinchuan ended the call, but his heart remained unsettled for a long time.
The world of Pokémon is full of so many unique individuals.
Just like this thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox, there probably isn't another one like it in the whole world.
Even if they exist, they are definitely not something an ordinary trainer could encounter, let alone capture!
"I'm not envious, I'm not envious... Each of my Pokémon, once raised, will be unique, no worse than that Ninetales!"
Ye Yinchuan thought to himself, and also glanced at his Pokémon.
One can already imagine them all evolving into their highest forms and dominating the world...
"Family members, it's still early tonight, let's continue the live stream!"
Ye Yinchuan called out, looking for the next person to contact.
The first live stream tonight was so exciting, I wonder if it will continue.
[Host, could you explain why the Ground/Rock type Rhyhorn can also control Electric-type energy? What is its move?]
While searching for someone to connect with, Ye Yinchuan also answered some questions from the live chat:
"This move should be 'Thunder Fang.' Don't be fooled by the fact that Rhyhorn uses a horn; its horn is actually its teeth... But it's hard for me to say for sure, because most Rhyhorns can't master Electric-type moves. If you had told me sooner, I would have asked Brock..."
@HeartSteel:
"I'm still here, streamer. I don't know either. But my one-horned rhinoceros once accidentally broke a Thunder Stone while drilling through rocks in the wild. The electric energy surged, and I thought it was going to die. But it not only recovered, it became stronger, and even mastered the move 'Thunder Fang'."
Ye Yinchuan nodded:
"Although Thunder Stones are generally used for Pokémon evolution, in reality, these special stones contain powerful type energy and may have other wonderful uses besides evolution."
However, don't try this lightly. Rhyhorn is a Ground-type, so it's not too afraid of lightning, but other Pokémon might be. Carelessly destroying evolution stones can not only be wasteful but also dangerous! Don't try this lightly…”
Ye Yinchuan paused as he spoke.
"However, I have another guess about why the one-horned rhinoceros is able to control electrical energy, but I don't know if I should say it."
Stop talking nonsense and get to the point.
"Ahem... So, I suspect that the one-horned rhinoceros contains dragon-like genes!"
