Chapter 291: A hallucination of a physical entity? That's utterly absurd! And you still say you weren't hitting yourself?
【Wait, streamer, you really tamed her just like that?】
[This guy is really something else! Not only did he give away a gem the size of a large bowl, but he also offered himself up?]
[Can you afford to keep this streamer around before you try to tame him?]
While completing the capture, Ye Yinchuan naturally began to think about the breeding of the Soul-Snatching Eye.
As mentioned earlier, although Sableye loves gems, gems are essentially minerals. If you are really short on money, you can use minerals as a substitute. In that case, the cost of feeding it will be basically the same as the current cost of Cocoa Doraemon.
In addition, synthetic gemstones are also under consideration, as their maintenance costs are much lower.
Finding suitable channels can further reduce costs...
For diamonds, a large portion of the cost is in the cutting process, but for nurturing the "soul eye," cutting is not a concern.
[It has two captivating eyes, will the streamer only accept one? Are they parent animals?]
Upon seeing this comment, Ye Yinchuan offered an explanation:
"The streamer's abilities are limited, and he can only take good care of one. Moreover, the other one entrusted this one to me, intending to leave itself here... In the future, if there is an opportunity, I will take this other one with me."
Ye Yinchuan didn't go into too much detail.
For example, helping the Soul-Hooking Eyes find other members of their kind, thus promoting the reproduction of the species...
Talking about these things with the audience is not very meaningful, but it would be worth trying to seek help from the Pokémon Center and the Dream Protection Bureau.
These are all things to be discussed later.
Just a short while later, Akai and Chen Lan caught up from behind.
Both of them stared wide-eyed at the large pink, round diamond in Ye Yinchuan's hand.
Ye Yinchuan remained calm, stuffed the diamond into his backpack, and then pointed to the painting on the wall, gesturing for the two to look at it.
"That little diamond surrounded by so many stars, it looks like it has one on its head, could it be the one you put in your backpack?"
Chen Lan observed the murals, her gaze towards Ye Yinchuan filled with longing.
"Did the Soul Reaper give you this? There must be some connection between it and the small diamond and the Soul Reaper... I don't know how much you're willing to pay, or if you could lend it to me for research?"
As a researcher, Chen Lan couldn't refuse such a thing.
"This was entrusted to me by the Soul Reaper, and it's very important to me."
Ye Yinchuan remained calm, which could be considered a polite refusal.
Are you kidding me? Holding this gem could give birth to Diancie.
Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, I wouldn't miss it, much less hand it over to anyone else.
As an item obtained through personal exploration, it is not permissible for even the League's jungle wardens to take it without knowing its value and purpose.
Seeing Ye Yinchuan's resolute attitude, Chen Lan had no choice but to give up the idea.
"The vibration seems to have stopped."
Akai cautioned, "We should leave now. There might be other people in the cave who need my help."
"Uncle Zhou..."
Chen Lan was also concerned about the situation of her teammates.
Whether the other party escaped or encountered an accident, she hoped to find out the details.
To put it bluntly, we need to find out whether we live or die.
The group marked the area near the cave of the Soul-Hooking Eye in case anything happened and they couldn't find it again.
The old, alluring eye watched them leave, its gaze filled with longing for its own child.
Ye Yinchuan released the Little Soul-Hooking Eye, letting it say a final goodbye.
Little Soul-Eyed waved goodbye to his mother with lingering reluctance.
The old mother hid behind a rock, watching her child gradually disappear into the distance.
Entrusting one's child to another is by no means an easy thing for a mother, but for the sake of the child's future, she must endure the pain.
"You... you've subdued the Bewitching Eye?"
Both Akai and Chen Lan were startled, feeling somewhat incredulous.
However, upon reflection, considering Ye Yinchuan's abilities and performance, as well as his interactions with the Soul-Hooking Eye, it seems that such subjugation was a natural progression for him.
Ye Yinchuan nodded. There was nothing to hide; the live stream was on, and everyone could see it.
That's what you call real skill!
[He picked up Celebi's egg one minute and then took Sableye the next. Is this what streamers are like?]
[Host, tell me about your captivating eyes, how are their quality and appearance?]
Ye Yinchuan also glanced at the panel of the Soul-Hooking Eye.
[Dark Pokémon: Sableye]
[Level: 10]
[Attribute: Dark, Ghost]
[Gender: Female]
[Racial stats: C-rank (380)]
Individual Value: Grade A (178)
【Characteristic: Sharp Eyesight】
[Personality: Calm]
[Skills: Grab, Leer, Startle, Shadow Sneak, Black Gaze (Egg Move), Strange Light (Egg Move), Illusion Beam (Egg Move)]
[Status: Sadness over separation]
Evolutionary path: None
[Trait: None]
Ye Yinchuan provided the following appraisal and evaluation:
"Its individual stats are quite good, at A grade. Even after being separated from its mother, it still managed to trap us, giving its mother a chance to escape. Plus, it's affectionate, not overly aggressive, and has a good temperament..."
I just observed it briefly, and both it and its mother possess the egg move "Illusion Beam." This must be a inherited ability, and the source of its previous capacity to create illusions and trap us.
Ye Yinchuan did not go into details.
The truth is, this bewitching eye actually possesses three egg-shaped moves!
The ability to create such powerful illusions is likely not solely due to the "illusionary rays," but rather the combination of the "black gaze" and the "strange light," which catalyze an even more potent effect...
[Actually, there's not much to ask. That bewitching eye almost killed someone with illusions; it must be incredibly powerful!]
[Not necessarily. If the performance seems inconsistent, it won't have any effect on the streamer at all.]
Ye Yinchuan continued:
"Its defining characteristic is its sharp gaze, which enhances its vision, including dynamic vision and observation skills... This is helpful for both combat and reconnaissance, and it is less susceptible to interference from the environment and attacks..."
For example, it maintains excellent vision even in the smoke of double-explosive gas or in dark environments... Furthermore, it has a power boost for moves that require the use of the eyes, such as Glare, Strange Light, Black Gaze, and Illusion Beam!
In general, sharp eyesight is not a particularly rare or powerful trait.
But when applied to this bewitching eye, the benefits are comprehensive, and the effect is amplified considerably!
"As for its quality... I just checked it. The gemstone patterns on its body are clear, and the texture is transparent and bright... which means it usually eats high-quality gemstones. This child... is being well cared for by its mother!"
Ye Yinchuan felt a certain amount of pressure when he said this.
Because this succubus stays in the wild, by its mother's side, although it can't find other of its kind and is confined to this area, at least its feeding conditions and growth environment are quite good...
Its mother must have given it the best.
If I take it away without offering good terms, I will be betraying their trust and expectations.
On the other hand, there are some points to note.
This is the Soul-Stealing Eye, level 10.
For wild Pokémon, this is a relatively low level, still considered a baby, or more accurately, a half-grown one.
But the capabilities and destructive power it has demonstrated are already terrifying.
With proper nurturing, just leveling it up would be enough to make it a formidable weapon.
The three left the Soul-Hook Eye's lair and found that the cave outside had collapsed due to the violent tremors, and the original terrain was no longer recognizable.
This is troublesome; we can't find our way back.
[Thankfully, the streamer was taken in by the Soul-Stealing Eyes, otherwise he would have been buried alive!]
"Winds, gusts, use your sense of smell to find your way back."
Kai commands his two Arcanines to utilize the unique characteristics of Pokémon.
The two Growlithe dogs quickly found their way.
It should be noted that the two Shadow Team members captured were tied to Arcanine the entire time.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
Even when dealing with criminals who have lost their ability to resist, we should still show some humanitarian considerations and not just leave them on the roadside.
"Woof!"
The two Growlithe dogs quickly discovered the situation and led the group forward.
"Is anyone there...? Help!"
Even before you get very close, you can hear a young man calling for help.
It sounds like a desperate and miserable situation.
[That voice sounds familiar!]
Wait a minute... isn't that the scoundrel?
Ye Yinchuan and the others also realized what was going on. After exchanging glances, they cautiously approached.
All that could be seen was Po Xiao, covered in blood, dragging Uncle Zhou, who was also covered in blood, as they struggled to move forward in the cave and called for help.
"Uncle Zhou!"
Chen Lan noticed Uncle Zhou and immediately rushed over.
But the Growlithe commanded by Kai was very fast. In a flash, it brushed past Chen Lan and surrounded Po Xiao and Uncle Zhou, looking like they were on full alert.
These two are members of the Shadow Order. Who knows if it's a trap? We have to be careful!
"Save him! Save him! He was seriously injured protecting me!"
As he spoke, Po Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood.
Akai frowned: "Didn't you already run away? Or did you create your own problem, collapsing the cave and making it impossible for you to get out?"
Po Xiao knelt down with a thud:
"I've never begged anyone in my life, but today I only beg you to save him... I will tell you everything that happened, I will turn myself in and stop resisting!"
Seeing this, Akai did not let Arcanine lower its guard:
"I don't have any healing Pokémon. Do you guys have any?"
Knowing that Akai had given in, Chen Lan immediately directed her Moonstone to use Moonlight on Uncle Zhou.
The "Moonlight" skill can only restore the user's own health in the game, but in reality, it can also be used on other units.
"No, moonstones are very dependent on the phases of the moon. It's broad daylight now, and we're still inside a cave, so the moonlight is almost completely blocked. The healing effect of moonlight is very weak!"
Chen Lan said somewhat anxiously.
"I just can't do anything with you guys..."
Ye Yinchuan sighed slightly. He had originally wanted Milotic to rest, but now he had no choice but to ask it to take action.
After all, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda.
Although Uncle Zhou was once a member of the Shadow Gang, let's just say he had a change of heart and released Old Soul Reaper. In any case, he helped out... Let's just say it's a matter of repaying kindness with kindness!
Under the influence of Milas's "Drops of Life," Uncle Zhou, who was pale from excessive blood loss and had one foot in the grave, was miraculously kept alive.
Milotic continues its consistent performance!
[Able to attack, heal, and tank... With a Pokémon like this, what more could one ask for?]
[Well, after seeing the streamer's Milotic, I want to keep Feebas now!]
The audience couldn't help but stir when they saw Milotic's outstanding performance throughout the game.
"Thank you..."
Seeing that Uncle Zhou's condition had stabilized, Po Xiao slumped to the ground, looking like he was still in shock.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"I was caught in a terrifying illusion created by the Soul Reaper. Knowing I was in trouble, I had Onix carry me away... But I never expected the illusion to be so terrifying. It could actually create a physical form that looked exactly like Onix..."
Moreover, this entity was clearly stronger than my Onix, completely burying us in the ground... It's utterly absurd!
Upon hearing Po Xiao's explanation, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but look up at the sky, feeling an urge to whistle.
Hmm... What Po Xiao saw was indeed not an illusion, but his own overlord's shadow!
"Is it possible that Onix was also hallucinating? Was it just attacking itself the whole time?"
"Impossible! Brother Yanxiao, who you call Uncle Zhou, saw it too!"
Hearing this, Ye Yinchuan knew he had to say a few words in defense of the Soul-Hooking Eyes:
"Impossible... It's definitely not the power of the Soul Reaper... because we were also attacked by the Soul Reaper, especially you, Kai, who knows best what those illusions are all about!"
Speaking of the illusions of the Soul-Stealing Eye, Akai couldn't help but shudder.
He didn't want to relive those terrifying memories again.
"In short, my situation was very bad at the time. It was Brother Yanxiao who risked his life to save me from the cave that was about to collapse, but he himself got hurt... Originally, I didn't want to acknowledge him anymore after he left the organization, but I didn't expect him to save me again today... Sure enough, Brother Yanxiao has never changed. He is still the same loyal and caring older brother who takes care of me!"
Po Xiao's body was trembling slightly, as if he was still unable to recover from the danger he had just experienced.
"And your Onix..."
Ah Kai scrutinized the details.
"It's lying there. Strangely enough, after my Onix collapsed, that terrifying illusion disappeared with it... I still don't understand what happened."
[Still denying that you're hitting yourself?]
[I think it's very likely a collective hallucination... Think about it, when the streamers and others experienced hallucinations and were trapped, it wasn't just one person's hallucination!]
Holy crap! This is terrifying when you think about it!
Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan secretly touched his nose. As the mastermind behind it all, his feelings were quite complicated.
However… the young master of the Shadow Gang, Broken Owl, and Yan Owl, a former member of the Shadow Gang, were both captured by their own Overlord Shadow…
Rounding down or rounding up, is this considered a good deed?
"So, Uncle Zhou entered the cave not to escape, but to save you!"
Chen Lan suddenly realized.
Ah Kai snorted coldly, took out handcuffs, and cuffed Po Xiao and Uncle Zhou together:
"Put your Onix away. You said you'd turn yourself in, you won't go back on your word, will you?"
"Of course not... I'm no longer able to run."
Looking at the large rock snake lying in the cave, half of its body still embedded in the rock wall, its body black and gleaming with a metallic sheen, Ye Yinchuan's eyes revealed an expression of appreciation.
[Host, can you identify this onix?]
[Damn it, where did these evil organizations get such rare Pokémon from?]
[Isn't that simple? Steal, rob! There are plenty of ways!]
