Chapter 618 Fossil Restoration Project? A Flying/Dragon-type Pokémon? But what does this have to do with mosquitoes?
After the live stream ended, the wind in Crimson Flame Mountain carried a hint of sulfur, but no longer had that biting chill.
With Registeel and Regielech by his side, Regice's emotions have completely stabilized, and the three legendary Titans are communicating in a way that humans cannot understand.
Looking at them, Ye Yinchuan felt a sense of peace. This trip to the volcano had been full of twists and turns, but the outcome was good.
Just as he was about to retrieve the three legendary pillars and leave, the majestic leader of the Azure Growlithe walked over with steady steps.
Behind it followed a fluffy little creature, the very same Cherry Chow who had first met Ye Yinchuan and jumped into his arms to cuddle.
The little guy's eyes were full of curiosity and longing for the outside world. It hid behind the leader, poked half its head out, and secretly looked at Ye Yinchuan.
"roar----"
The leader of the Emerald Arcanines let out a deep growl, then gently nudged the little Growlithe behind it with its massive head covered in rocky mane.
The meaning couldn't be clearer.
Ye Yinchuan was somewhat surprised: "You want it to come with me?"
The Arcanine leader nodded, its eyes filled with solemnity and entrustment. It could sense that this human possessed incredible power and a genuine love for Pokémon. Perhaps having its child with him was a better choice than leaving it here.
"Ugh!"
The little Growlithe also mustered its courage and ran out from behind the leader. With its short legs, it ran to Ye Yinchuan's feet, rubbed its head against his trouser leg, and wagged its tail like a little windmill.
Those eyes, hidden by thick mane, were filled with the longing to "take me away".
Ye Yinchuan squatted down and stroked its furry head, which had a rock-hard texture.
"Are you really sure?"
The little Growlithe barked without hesitation, even jumping up and trying to snuggle into Ye Yinchuan's arms, its affectionate gestures as if afraid he might change his mind.
It was hard to refuse such hospitality.
Ye Yinchuan smiled helplessly, but in the end he still picked up the little guy.
He looked at the little Growlithe, "From now on, your name will be Rockhead."
"Woof!"
The Gloria Poodle happily licked Ye Yinchuan's chin, as if acknowledging his new name.
A few days later, at Kirby Park.
This is Ye Yinchuan's base camp, and also the home of his many Pokémon partners.
Zhou Zuwang has officially joined the company and is responsible for taking care of the Pokémon's food and daily life in the park. He does a very good job, and every Pokémon he feeds is healthy, shiny, and full of energy.
At this moment, he and Ye Yinchuan were standing on the lawn of the park, watching a unique "new member meet-and-greet".
The main character, of course, is the newly arrived Growlithe, Rockhead.
Surrounding it were two "big dogs" with completely different appearances.
-
One of them was Ye Yinchuan's Twilight Mane Rock Werewolf. It was agile and had a proud and aloof demeanor. Its sharp green eyes held a scrutinizing quality, and it exuded a cold aura that kept strangers at bay.
The other is Zhou Zuwang's Pokémon partner, the Arcanine with a unique evolved form. Its dark purple body and purple-gold stripes give it an air of mystery and intimidation. Due to its "Justice" ability, it stands upright with a serious gaze, like a silent judge.
"Huh?"
Rockhead had clearly never seen such "cool" peers before. It tilted its furry head and curiously examined its two "predecessors".
It first targeted the Dusk Rock Wolf.
Perhaps in its eyes, the flowing white mane of the Rock Wolf looks quite amusing.
"Woof!"
Rockhead let out a cry and pounced, trying to bite the rocky mane of the mane-wielding werewolf.
However, the Dusk Mane Rock Wolf simply shifted its body slightly and barely moved its eyes, easily dodging Rock Head's attack.
Yan Tou missed his target, rolled around on the grass, and was a little dazed after getting up, not understanding how this big guy could be so slippery.
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Having failed in his first attack, Yan Tou turned his attention to the other side.
The dark purple Growlithe stood motionless the entire time, like a statue.
Rockhead sensed the serious aura emanating from the other creature and hesitated, but its innate curiosity overcame its fear. It cautiously moved closer, step by step, and tentatively extended its nose to sniff Arcanine's paws.
Arcanine lowered its eyes, looked at the tiny creature at its feet that wasn't even as tall as its own leg, and let out a very low, warning "woof."
Yan Tou was so startled that his ears instantly turned into airplane ears, and his tail tucked between his legs.
"It's alright, Yantou, it's actually very gentle," Zhou Zuwang quickly reassured him.
Ye Yinchuan explained with a smile, "Your senior's characteristic is a heart of justice; he's naturally serious and intolerant of any evil or mischief. He's not being harsh with you, he's just setting rules for you."
As if it understood its owner's words, the Gyrocopter's eyes softened a little.
After observing for a while and finding that the other party indeed meant no harm, Rockhead became bolder. It circled the Growlithe twice, and finally, it bit the other party's long, flowing dark purple tail, shaking its head vigorously, playing a tug-of-war game.
"Waaaaah————"
Arcanine's body remained motionless, only turning its head helplessly to glance back at its tail, which had been treated like a toy.
This interaction made both Ye Yinchuan and Zhou Zuwang laugh.
Three distinctly different canine Pokémon, each with their own personality, create an amusing scene and add more energy to the daily life of Snorlax Park.
After settling his new partner in, Ye Yinchuan began to deal with another important matter.
—Resurrected fossils.
His previous connection with Professor Ji Miaomiao and the successful revival of the ichthyosaur brought his long-dormant idea back into focus.
During this period, he used his authority and influence through special official channels in China to collect some fossil fragments that are extremely rare to find on the market.
Ye Yinchuan has started a new live stream.
[Here he comes! That man is here!]
The first time I encountered a gill ichthyosaur, it shattered my worldview. What are they up to this time?
[It seems the host has changed locations; I have a feeling today will be another extraordinary day!]
In the live broadcast, Ye Yinchuan was already inside a huge building filled with futuristic technology.
"This is the Donghua Pokémon Fossil Research Institute. I'm here for one purpose only."
As Ye Yinchuan spoke, he showed the camera the contents of the transparent suitcase.
Holy crap! So many fossils and amber!
[Why do I think I see dragon claws?]
[Wait a minute, it looks like it has wing-like structures!]
The audience was buzzing with discussion.
"These are fossil fragments of an ancient creature I recently collected. If all goes well, I might be able to reconstruct them today!"
These words ignited the curiosity of the viewers in the live stream.
Amidst great anticipation, Professor Ji Miaomiao personally came out to greet them.
When she saw Ye Yinchuan, she was as excited as a fan meeting her idol.
"Mr. Ye! Your presence here in person is truly an honor for our research institute!"
The other researchers at the institute also gathered around, their eyes filled with fervor, as if they were looking at some rare treasure.
The discovery of the last ichthyosaur had already elevated Ye Yinchuan's status in the academic world to an unbelievable level. Now, his personal presence has caused an even greater sensation.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the group got straight to the point and arrived at the institute's core laboratory.
"Mr. Ye, we've confirmed that a large portion of the fossil fragments you brought belong to the same Pokémon—theoretically, the success rate of restoration can reach over fifty percent!"
The researcher, holding the scan report, said excitedly.
Ye Yinchuan nodded. "You mean there are some that aren't the same type of Pokémon?"
"That's right," the researcher answered confidently, adjusting his glasses with barely concealed excitement in his eyes. "Our preliminary deduction is that these fragmented fossils, which resemble some kind of arthropod, belong to a completely different ancient Pokémon. However, due to the scarcity of fragments and the lack of crucial information, we are unable to perform effective reconstruction at this time."
Ye Yinchuan nodded knowingly, his gaze returning to the main fossils in the suitcase.
This is the main event of today.
[Here it comes, the big one is coming!]
These fossils look so imposing, especially the claw and the wing skeleton!
[I'm guessing it's a Dragon-type Pokémon! It's definitely an ancient Dragon-type Pokémon!]
Professor Ji Miaomiao took over the conversation, and she gestured to the team to carefully remove the fossil and place it on a special analysis table.
"Mr. Ye, based on our 3D modeling and gene fragment comparison, the main body of these fossils all points to a Pokémon that may have lived in ancient times and dominated the skies."
There was a hint of awe in her voice.
"Its appearance is very similar to what we know as a Western dragon," possessing enormous membranous wings and sharp claws. Our initial assessment is that it is likely a Flying/Dragon type Pokémon.
This conclusion instantly ignited the atmosphere in the live stream.
[Flying dragon! Holy crap, that's top-of-the-line!]
Dragonite: I feel offended.
[Ancient dragons must have been incredibly powerful! The streamer has struck gold!]
Ye Yinchuan wore a calm smile, neither confirming nor denying.
He knew that the researchers had been misled by its dragon-like appearance.
Just as many people mistakenly believe that Charizard is a Dragon-type Pokémon, this is an intuitive judgment based on its appearance, but it often differs from the essence of the Pokémon world, which is determined by its energy type.
"Let's begin." Ye Yinchuan didn't spell it out directly; he preferred to let the facts speak for themselves.
"good!"
At Ji Miaomiao's command, the institute's most advanced fossil revival device was slowly activated.
The giant robotic arm precisely places fossil fragments, guided by their genetic sequences, into the central life cultivation chamber.
Pale green life energy, like a viscous liquid, was slowly injected.
On the screen, countless lines of complex data streams flashed by rapidly, representing the gene chain being analyzed, completed, and recombined.
Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the Pokémon genetic map being constructed at a visible speed on the main screen.
Eighty percent
Ninety-five percent
Just when everyone thought success was imminent!
Drip—drip—drip—
A piercing alarm suddenly blared throughout the entire laboratory!
On the main screen, a bright red warning pop-up window filled the entire screen.
[Missing gene strand!]
[Key genetic information could not be completed; restoration process halted!]
The atmosphere in the laboratory instantly plummeted from fervent anticipation to freezing point.
"What happened?!" a young researcher exclaimed. "We've used all the relevant fossil fragments, so why is the gene chain still missing?"
Professor Ji Miaomiao's expression also became extremely solemn. She walked quickly to the control panel and her fingers flew across the virtual keyboard.
A moment later, she came to a disheartening conclusion.
"What we lack is not structural genes, but a special piece of genetic information—similar to an activation code."
She looked up at Ye Yinchuan, her face full of confusion and resentment.
"Without this information, even if we possess 99% of its genes, we cannot awaken its life. It's like we've built a perfect machine, but we don't have the key to start it!"
The viewers in the live stream were also stunned.
【Huh? It failed already?】
[After all that, it was all for nothing?]
[A key? Where can you find a key that's tens of millions of years old?]
Just when everyone was at a loss, Ye Yinchuan walked calmly to his briefcase.
He ignored the huge dragon bone fossils and instead took out a piece of crystal-clear amber that was only the size of his palm.
In that piece of resin that has frozen time, an ancient mosquito is vividly preserving the posture of its last moments.
"Professor Ji," Ye Yinchuan said calmly, holding up the piece of amber, "have you used this?"
The laboratory fell silent instantly.
All the researchers, including Ji Miaomiao, looked at Ye Yinchuan as if he were an alien.
"Mr. Ye—" Ji Miaomiao began with some difficulty, "This—this is a piece of amber containing an ancient mosquito. Its genes have absolutely no relation to the Pokémon we're trying to revive."
The live stream chat was also filled with questions.
[A mosquito? Why is the streamer holding up a mosquito?]
Could this time's Frankenstein's monster be a dragon and a mosquito? A flying giant mosquito dragon?
[Stop joking, the ichthyosaur was a special case, you can't just use the splicing technique again this time, can you?]
Faced with everyone's incomprehension, Ye Yinchuan simply smiled meaningfully.
He held the amber up to the light, and the crimson dot on the abdomen of the ancient mosquito became exceptionally clear.
"Mosquitoes from the same geological era as these fossils are so perfectly preserved in amber."
His voice carried a peculiar guiding quality.
"Don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?"
He paused, then threw out a conjecture that sent chills down everyone's spine.
"Is it possible that it had just had a hearty meal in the last moments before it was coated in resin?"
boom!
These words, like a thunderclap, exploded in everyone's mind!
Professor Ji Miaomiao's eyes widened instantly, and her breathing became rapid!
The researchers looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief and shock!
The viewers in the live stream went wild!
Could it be that this mosquito sucked the blood of that ancient dragon?! And that missing gene is inside the mosquito's stomach?!
[A godlike thought process! How could anyone think of that? Just how knowledgeable is this streamer?!]
"Quick! Quick!" Professor Ji Miaomiao's voice trembled with excitement. "Prepare for ultra-micro gene extraction immediately! Target: inside the amber, the mosquito's abdominal cavity residue!"
The entire laboratory sprang into action once again!
Under the most precise instruments, the amber was carefully cut open.
The researchers held their breath and, with an operation infinitely more delicate than embroidery, successfully extracted a trace of blood residue from the mosquito that had been dead for millions of years. It was almost invisible to the naked eye.
Genetic analysis, let's begin!
The moment the comparison results appeared on the big screen, the entire laboratory erupted in thunderous cheers!
【100% match!】
The missing gene chain information has been found!
All the researchers looked at Ye Yinchuan with an almost reverent, fanatical gaze.
If the last time they encountered the gill ichthyosaur, they might have thought Ye Yinchuan's success was due to luck and his wild imagination.
This time, it will be absolute authority!
He wasn't guessing; he knew the answer from the very beginning!
"Let's continue." Ye Yinchuan's face remained calm and composed.
It was as if all of this was exactly what he had expected.
Recovery procedure — restart!
