Chapter 235 The final evolution of Galarian Serpent Bear? Block Bear! And why is Chippi so strong!
Faced with such a question, Ye Yinchuan answered without hesitation:
"The reason is simple. Today someone asked me why Tyranitar is so ferocious, not only destroying human buildings but also destroying Pokémon habitats..."
"This is actually a survival strategy. Pokémon like Tyranitar require a lot of resources to grow, even for just one, but they are very weak before they grow up..."
Therefore, if Tyranitar is ferocious enough to deter other creatures in the vicinity and even kill potential threats, then their offspring will have a better living environment…”
So the question is, what does this have to do with the demise of Galarian's charge against the bear?
[Host, this map of the Yan Kingdom is too long! Time to draw your sword!]
"I just wanted to answer this question by the way. The ferocity of some Pokémon is not without reason, but is for survival, or rather, the result of natural selection..."
For example, Tyranitar individuals that aren't ferocious enough have long been eliminated, and their genes wouldn't have survived.
"The same principle applies to the Galarian Serpent Bear; ferocity is for survival or to compete for more resources, but there's a problem..."
Ye Yinchuan paused slightly.
"That means Zigzagoon's strength is limited, far inferior to Tyranitar. Their ferocity is only good for bullying weaker Pokémon, but if they encounter a tough opponent, it's like throwing an egg against a rock!"
Thinking of something, he changed the subject.
"Of course, my statement may be a bit inappropriate. The serpent bear does not bully the weak, but rather likes to cause trouble. It will challenge even opponents stronger than itself, and in the process, it will continuously grow stronger."
[I think I understand now. The Galarian Zigzag Bear's temperament is more prone to causing trouble than the regular Zigzag Bear, which makes it easier to provoke powerful enemies. This might have led to the extinction of the entire species in a less favorable environment... While the Zigzag Bears we commonly see today, because of their gentle nature, actually have a greater chance of survival!]
Ye Yinchuan nodded; this was basically what he wanted to say, but he had something to add:
"This is one of the influencing factors. When it comes to the evolution and extinction of a species, we also have to consider the region. For example, the gentle serpent bear, because it would be bullied by the ferocious serpent bear, could only hide in other places... while when the ferocious serpent bear was wiped out, the gentle serpent bear might have escaped the disaster."
[Thanks, host! I think I understand now!]
The evolution of Pokémon is truly amazing. What's even more amazing is that the streamer doesn't have any blind spots in their knowledge?
At this moment, the two newly evolved Ursarings curiously examined each other.
The Dark-type Galarian Ursaring sticks out its tongue, taunting the ordinary Ursaring, and keeps waving it in front of it, as if saying, "Come here!"
"Did you all see that? This is Galarian Charge Bear's style of doing things. It uses its tongue to provoke its opponent, and once the opponent is successfully provoked, it will charge straight up and attack."
"Although the Straightforward Bear is also characterized by its headstrong nature and lack of finesse, it is a straightforward type rather than the kind that would actively cause trouble..."
Boom!
As Ye Yinchuan was still speaking, he saw the two charging bears collide, both staggering backward and looking somewhat dizzy from the impact.
However, Galarian Ursaring clearly used Dark Pulse, and the Dark-type energy affected the other Ursaring, causing it to flinch and resulting in a slightly weaker ramming attack, putting it at a disadvantage.
The trainers of the two Pokémon quickly intervened.
"A regular Ursaring would be no match for Galar Ursaring, given its type advantage. Once Galar Ursaring uses its Dark-type ability, the outcome is pretty much clear."
Although it was somewhat ruthless, Ye Yinchuan told the truth.
"However, in Pokémon battles, there are no absolutes. It's not impossible to defeat an opponent with a type advantage."
[Speaking of Ursaring and Zigzagoon, their habits are completely opposite after evolution. Zigzagoon likes to move in a serpentine manner, while Ursaring prefers to move in a straight line and is not even good at turning.]
I heard that charging bears will pounce on fish in the water, and they can reach speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour, enough to smash and flip cars!
Ye Yinchuan looked at the comments and realized that the people in this world had a pretty high level of understanding of serpentine bears and straight-ramming bears.
Galar's Bebop, aside from its Dark type and nature, is not much different from a regular Bebop.
However, there is still some information that Ye Yinchuan believes almost no one in the world knows.
"Actually, Galarian's Bear has one more chance to evolve."
As expected, Ye Yinchuan's words elicited a significant reaction in the live stream.
What?! Galarian's Ursaring can actually evolve?!
[No way! If that's true, then the Galarian Serpent Bear is incredibly powerful, far surpassing any ordinary serpent bear!]
[Wow, so if Galarian goes straight for Kushala Daora and continues to evolve, what will she become? Streamer, please tell us!]
Ye Yinchuan glanced at the number of people watching online and noticed a significant increase in retention rate.
As expected, information that everyone knows a little about but doesn't know about is the most attractive.
"As I said before, there's a reason why some Pokémon are ferocious. The competition between Galarian Pokémon and Ursaring is more intense and brutal, but it also brings some benefits..."
For example, in order to survive better, they stimulated more of their body's potential, thus achieving evolution...
This story teaches us that we must step out of our comfort zones to become better and stronger.
[Upstairs, don't forget about the Galarian Serpent Bear; it's disappeared now. Sometimes, when things are so competitive, it's better to just give up!]
Keep going, host, don't stop!
Ye Yinchuan continued:
"The evolved form of Galarian Bear is called Obstruction Bear. When it evolves into Obstruction Bear, it can stand on two legs and is more humanoid, but its head is still beast-like and becomes more robust and ferocious... I won't go into the specific details of its appearance, since you can't see it now anyway."
Are you simply unaware, or are you deliberately avoiding details?
It's hard to imagine Galer charging straight at Bear and standing up; he'd probably just be even more of a thug?
[Blocking Bear? What a strange name.]
Ye Yinchuan thought to himself, "The appearance of the blocking bear is indeed quite thuggish. It looks like a rock musician, very punk, with tattoos all over its face."
"Oblisman has a unique move called 'Oblisman,' which is similar to Protect but has a Dark-type effect. It can intercept the opponent's attacks, and upon contact, Dark-type energy invades, greatly reducing the opponent's defense."
[Defense reduced? That sounds like something out of a game, a bit abstract!]
Ye Yinchuan specifically explained this:
"While it doesn't have visible numerical values like in a game, everything in the world actually has its own defensive capabilities. For example, glass is significantly less defensive than stone and is easier to break. And the dark energy associated with blocking can make the texture of stone more like glass... Do you understand now?"
Although some of the settings in the Pokémon games differ from reality.
But this "blocking" is really not much different; reduced defense is reduced defense, literally.
This must be one type of "abnormal state"!
So, the ability to block the bear is simply a matter of defense and counter-attack?
"Not entirely. Obscurus is also very good at using sound to harass and attack opponents, such as Normal-type moves like 'Screech,' 'Round,' and 'Screech,' and Dark-type moves like 'Roar,' all of which are quite powerful moves..."
As its name suggests, the Block Bear will block the road and intercept enemies. Although it is warlike, it usually does not attack first, but instead constantly provokes and harasses the enemy with its voice.
Finally, when the enemy can't take it anymore and attacks, they'll be thoroughly disgusted by the "Block" move and suffer a close-range sonic attack... That's how Block Bear fights!
[As expected of a Dark-type Pokémon, just hearing that makes me angry!]
No wonder you almost never see them anymore, they really deserve a beating!
However, it must be said that if you don't understand the abilities of the Barrier Bear and rashly attack it, you will definitely suffer!
Sometimes I'm quite envious of streamers; they know everything about Pokémon!
Ye Yinchuan was already used to the audience's exclamations. He smiled slightly, feeling that Galarian Zigzag Bear had explained everything thoroughly, and even the evolutionary chain had been partially revealed.
"So, streamer... is it difficult to evolve the Blocking Bear?"
The streamer clearly had high expectations, after all, who wouldn't want their Pokémon to evolve further and become even stronger?
Although there are many possibilities in Pokémon.
However, even the most powerful ordinary sprinter bear can hardly compare to the more evolved form of the blocking bear.
Evolution is a leap in the level of life, changing everything from appearance and habits to abilities, and even racial stats. It's easy to see just how important it is...
Ash's Pikachu, for example, didn't evolve into Raichu, yet it's incredibly powerful and can even go toe-to-toe with legendary Pokémon... It's more for the sake of the plot!
Of course, if you really want to explain it, there are some points to make.
A flawless version after careful inspection!
First of all, in the Pokémon lore, Ash's Pikachu is not an ordinary Pikachu, but his partner Pikachu.
A regular Pikachu has a base stat total of 320, while a partner Pikachu has a base stat total of 430. Furthermore, although not shown in the anime, Ash's Pikachu is actually designed to carry an Electric Ball Blade…
The Electric Ball is practically Pikachu's exclusive item. When held, its Attack and Special Attack stats are doubled... The key point is that it's ineffective against Raichu, making it very effective against him.
The effect of this item is to double Pikachu's Attack and Attack stats.
That Pikachu's Attack stat would reach 160, and its Special Attack stat would reach 150, so theoretically its total base stats would be 585...
In the Pokémon lore, this is already incredibly close to the strength of a pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
Of course, there's also a very unreliable explanation, almost like a meme—
That is because Pikachu followed Ash and leveled up again in each region, so it was already at the maximum level, or even stronger. So its strength is actually due to level advantage...
In short, it's not impossible to explain why Ash's Pikachu is so strong.
But Ash's Pikachu is ultimately an exception, and in the real world, it is almost impossible to replicate, or extremely difficult...
But let's look at it from another angle.
A Pikachu that hasn't evolved into Raichu can only improve its strength through leveling up, partnering with other Pikachu, or using Electric Orbs.
If Raichu could have these benefits, without any forced plot twists, wouldn't it be stronger than Pikachu?
At the same time, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but ponder.
If partner Pokémon exist in this world, what is the reason for their existence, or what principles and mechanisms allow them to have higher base stats than ordinary individuals?
No matter what, it's pointless for him to think about these things now.
After all, they might not even exist in this world; we'll see what happens when we encounter them!
Returning to the topic of the blocking bear:
"The evolution of Obscurus has some limitations, which I originally did not intend to tell you now, but since you asked so sincerely, I will tell you without hesitation... Once your Beelzebub reaches around level 35 and levels up once at night, it will evolve into Obscurus if nothing unexpected happens."
[The streamer is really generous; he actually explained the evolution method!]
[Sigh, knowing this won't help. Does anyone here have a Galarian straight-up attack on a bear?]
At this moment, the person on the other end of the line was also very serious, taking notes on their phone's memo app.
His friend next to him was getting a little restless:
"So, streamer, is there no possibility of a regular Pandaren evolving further?"
Ye Yinchuan also sighed slightly:
"Currently, there are no records or new discoveries, but I believe that since Galarian Gryphons can evolve, ordinary Gryphons may also have the potential to evolve, it's just that the conditions are more demanding, or the timing isn't right yet!"
Actually, what Ye Yinchuan was really thinking was that the Pokémon official team might not have finished designing it yet, or might have temporarily forgotten about some Pokémon...
Who knows, if they ever run out of work, they might just come up with some new evolution forms for the existing Pokémon.
No problem, my Pokédex can be updated anyway, so I'm not worried about missing out on the latest information from the Pokémon manga!
With that, Ye Yinchuan has finished saying what he needed to say about the serpent bear and the Galerous serpent bear.
The connection has ended.
Ye Yinchuan took a tactical sip of water, stretched, and then continued his live stream.
"You mean, you found a Sneasel baby in Bobo's nest today and asked me why a Sneasel would appear in Bobo's nest? Uh... do you remember if there was an empty egg in the nest that had been hollowed out? Is this Sneasel very full?"
Ah, that makes sense... The Sneasel will lure or chase away Bobo's parents, then eat their eggs... and the way they eat the eggs is by making a hole in the shell and sucking everything out...
As for why you didn't see Pidgey or any other Sneasels... is it possible they're still fighting somewhere else? Sneasels are known for their ferocious nature; they won't stop attacking until their enemies are defeated...
Well, I guess even the Sneasel didn't expect that while it was fighting with Pidgey, it would happen to be cast into a baby form by you... What? This Sneasel stopped crying and fussing after drinking your Moo Moo Milk... Well, I'll call that Forget-Child Milk, a baby that has forgotten its own parents...
Just kidding. It's probably due to Sneasel's personality. It's a Dark-type Pokémon, so it's normal for it to be opportunistic and avoid harm. If you provide it with comfortable and privileged conditions, it might not miss the hardships of the wild...
However, with this personality, it's quite difficult to get it to trust and be loyal to you. But if you succeed, Dark-type Pokémon are quite loyal; as long as you like them, that's fine. Oh, and be careful of Sneasel's claws—they're poisonous.
……
"Wow, your little gull is beautiful, all golden. But don't get too excited yet. If it evolves into a Nightjar, it might turn yellowish-green... Don't ask me how I know, it's just a possibility, I can't say for sure... If it's still pure golden after evolving, then congratulations, it's absolutely top-tier!"
……
"Your lazy otter isn't lazy enough; it often asks to be trained. Are you worried that it might have some kind of problem? Come on, let me take a look... Hmm, your lazy otter is indeed unusual. It suffers from anxiety... To put it bluntly, it's destined to be a workaholic. It can't be lazy with a clear conscience. If it doesn't train for a day, or even half a day, it will become restless, right?"
Hmm... But after training for a while, it starts to feel tired and lazy again. I understand. Many people are like that. They can't work hard, and they can't relax. That's the most painful thing. It needs some psychological guidance. At least it needs to be consistent with itself...
……
"Your Golem seems uncomfortable lately, often distracted during training? Let me see what's wrong... Zoom in a bit. Does it scratch itself a lot?"
Hmm... this is a bit troublesome. Have you been in contact with Parasitic worms recently? It's likely that mushroom spores fell into its crevices... basically, it's grown into mushrooms, similar to a fungal infection in humans...
"Sigh! There's nothing I can do, this Paras is a bit tricky. Don't yell at me. I can't help you with this either. Go to the Pokémon Hospital and ask the doctor. I reckon you'll need to use a special spray to kill the mushrooms inside, then it'll be fine."
……
@Water splashes can only bloom on rainy days:
[Host, my Mudkip evolved into a Marshchud, but I feel like its gaze towards me is weird, kind of sharp. What's going on? Before evolving, this kid was very cheerful, but now it seems like a complete idiot... Host, can you help me figure this out, and also see if this dazed kid has any problems? I'm thinking if there really is something wrong, we should get it treated as soon as possible, right?]
Upon seeing this comment, Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow.
Mudkip, with its sharp eyes?
Oh no, I can picture it in my mind!
