Chapter 351 Zoroark's Unevolved Form, Zoroark! Cute!
Chapter 351 Zoroark's Unevolved Form—Zorua! A cute and alluring fox cub!
Yes, what happened next?
The audience has many questions and curiosities about Zoroark.
But seeing that Ye Yinchuan and Zoroark were talking, they couldn't interrupt them and could only wait and see what happened later.
"Later, among that group of humans, there emerged a respectable lady, Linna. Linna disagreed with her companions. She believed that our power could indeed bring happiness, but it should not be used to forcibly create a utopian illusion, much less to build upon the enslavement and suffering of our race... Humans should live in harmony with us, become our friends, and make good use of our power."
"So one day, Linna deliberately created chaos to help us escape the testing ground... The situation was urgent at the time. I led my people to escape, and when we were being pursued and driven into a corner, the Three Sacred Beasts appeared and resolved the crisis..."
"My clan and I have been safe until now thanks to Linna and the Three Holy Beasts. I've never had a chance to properly thank Linna, and I haven't heard from her since. I wonder how she is now..."
Soroyak spoke with a nostalgic expression.
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan probably had a guess: "The way you've become now is Lin Na, right? How long ago was that?"
"Yes, I often miss Linna. She was a kind and sincere human being. In that testing ground, the gentlest treatment we received came from her... about thirty years ago."
Ye Yinchuan was slightly surprised to hear Zoroark say that.
One reason is that Lin Na's image is rather cold, the kind that carries a ruthless edge, but it turns out she's cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
The other one happened thirty years ago, judging from Linna's age...
"If she were still alive, she would most likely be an old woman with white hair."
Ye Yinchuan felt that what he said might have been a bit inappropriate, so he added,
"I'm sorry, I meant no harm. Human life is sometimes very fragile and short."
Zoroark seemed unconcerned, simply stating:
"The same is true for the lives of Pokémon."
Wait, why are we discussing life and philosophy now?
When will the streamer explain this Pokémon to us? It seems very intelligent; is it a legendary Pokémon?
[It can even transform into human form; that's quite something!]
Am I the only one wondering how Linna is doing? Anyone who could devise a plan using Zoroark is definitely not a good person!
Ye Yinchuan was also slightly choked up, unsure of what to say for a moment.
But then he thought of something:
"My arrival may bring trouble, or even danger, to your people once again. It's difficult for me to explain to you, but please look at this thing in my hand. Through it, many people in this world will see everything that is happening here..."
Upon hearing this, Zoroark's pupils contracted, his eyes revealing wariness and hostility. He instinctively bared his teeth at Ye Yinchuan like a wild animal.
"Human, what is your purpose in doing this! You are indeed very dangerous!"
Ye Yinchuan explained helplessly:
"I meant no harm; this is my job. By the time you appeared on camera, it was already too late. I'm sorry, and I hope we can make amends. If you'd like, we can talk privately later."
[If the host hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought of it. If this Zoroark is really that powerful, it's hard to guarantee that bad guys won't target them... maybe even the group from thirty years ago!]
[Well, there's nothing you can do about it; this kind of thing is inevitable during outdoor adventures... It's like a fisherman sharing a great spot, only to have it targeted by people using electrofishing or nets—the fish there are doomed!]
[That's awkward, but the streamer is at least somewhat considerate; at least he has the intention. As for why the Zoroark tribe is in danger, don't ask!]
Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan felt somewhat ashamed.
Previously, he had no better options than hiding key information and reporting it. But now, with the "Elf Paradise" unlocked, he can fully utilize its mechanisms to provide more protection for the Zoroark race.
"I will also report this area as soon as possible so that the Pokémon Center and the Dream Protection Bureau can get involved and prevent evil elements from taking advantage of the situation."
Ye Yinchuan's words were a statement to the audience.
I think that the streamers discovering these rare Pokémon early allows the official organizations to intervene sooner, which is a form of protection in itself!
Zoroark was also skeptical at this moment. It didn't quite understand what the Pokémon Center and Dream Protection Bureau were, but the other party spoke so righteously and didn't seem like a bad person!
"Let's not talk about that. You're Ho-Oh's spokesperson, I trust you."
Zoroark made his decision, "In that case, esteemed guest, please follow me, and I will show you our true people."
With that, Zoroark turned and walked forward, leaning on his cane.
Ye Yinchuan's heart stirred, and he decisively followed. A single Zoroark was already rare enough, but to witness an entire clan was an opportunity that would be rare indeed!
Not long after.
Ye Yinchuan crossed the crystal forest in front of him and came to a place with a higher vegetation coverage, which is a real forest where some tree fruits can be seen.
The Soroyak people also appeared in the footage.
The unevolved Zorua is like a little fox, cute yet with a captivating charm.
They have grayish-black fur, pale blue-green pupils, and a ring of dark black fur around their necks, like they're wearing mink. Their most distinctive feature is the red parts on their bodies; the fur on their heads is red on top and black on the bottom, with a gradient in the middle, like a burning flame...
Its upper eyelids and two eyebrows are also dark red, as if it has some kind of makeup on. The ends of its four legs are also red, making the overall color scheme more harmonious.
Seeing so many adorable Zoroas, Ye Yinchuan's eyes softened, and he also showed affection to his Pokémon.
Wow, that's so cute! I've never seen a Pokémon like this before! Do they usually hide here like this? That's incredible!
[Thank you, streamer, for giving us the opportunity to get to know and understand these Pokémon. If it weren't for you, I might have remained a Pokémon fan for the rest of my life!]
What does "蒙鼓人" mean?
It means someone who was kept in the dark!
"These are all Zoroark's unevolved forms, and they are generally quite timid."
Ye Yinchuan noticed that these Zoroya were mostly hiding behind trees, in bushes, or behind their tribesmen, secretly observing. They all seemed weak, pitiful, and helpless.
Besides Zoroark, there are other Zoroarks, but none of them are as strong or powerful as the one leading the way.
Ye Yinchuan also took the opportunity to observe the details of Zoroark's form. Needless to say, its bipedal beast form did indeed resemble Lycanroc's Night Form...
I vaguely remember an episode in the anime where someone's Zoroark transformed into Lycanroc and battled Ash's Pikachu. The meaning of that scene was unclear, but it was still quite interesting.
There was a detail in the form that Ye Yinchuan had previously overlooked: the mane on Zoroark's head was tied back, like a beaded object, in a hairstyle similar to a ponytail...
From this perspective, Linna and Zoroark do seem to have some kind of inexplicable connection. However, it's hard to say whether Linna simply likes Zoroark and has a sentimental attachment to it, which is why she specifically styled her hair in a single ponytail.
As we all know, in the world of Pokémon, it's very common for trainers to imitate the appearance of their favorite Pokémon or dress up their Pokémon to resemble themselves...
It's something like "couples looking alike," or "wearing matching outfits"?
[Host, what kind of Pokémon are Zoroark and Zoroark? Could you give us a proper introduction?]
[Yeah, even now, I'm still a bit confused about Pokémon!]
Ye Yinchuan knew that he had been accepted by Zoroark, so he relaxed and began to introduce and interact with the audience.
"Actually, Zoroia sometimes appear in towns looking for food, but they always transform into human form, and most of the time, they transform into children. This is because ordinary Zoroia cannot speak, so the children they transform into are also taciturn..."
If a child who is usually very talkative suddenly becomes quiet, then you should consider whether they have been switched at birth by Zoroah!
[Really? Haha, this is hilarious!]
[Got it. Next time I encounter a quiet kid, I'll throw a Poké Ball at them. What if I catch a Zoroar?]
Why don't I believe it?
[You upstairs still don't believe me? Look at Zoroark's horrified expression; the streamer clearly exposed their secrets!]
"Cough cough..."
Ye Yinchuan looked at Zoroark, who was staring at him with an incredulous expression, as if he had been exposed. He coughed twice to cover his embarrassment.
Zoroark nodded secretly, thinking to himself that as expected of the messenger sent by Ho-Oh, nothing could be hidden from him!
"You said earlier that you don't know what kind of Pokémon Zoroark and Zoroark are... Let me put it this way: they are Pokémon that are very good at illusion. Relying on the 'illusion' ability, they can transform into humans or other Pokémon to confuse opponents, hide and protect themselves... just like what you have seen."
The more powerful Zoroark and Zoroark are, the stronger their illusion abilities become, and the more convincingly they can make their opponents believe it's real. For example, Nosegate was defeated by Raikou, an illusion created by Zoroark, and it completely believed it, as if it were truly injured and could actually be defeated!
[This seems like a very superstitious ability!]
So the streamer is unharmed because he doesn't believe it?
"The rarity and uncommonness of Zoroark are such that, in my opinion, calling them Mythical Pokémon or Legendary Pokémon wouldn't be an exaggeration..."
In reality, Zoroark and Zoroark's base stats aren't particularly outstanding; at best, they're at the level of high-level starter Pokémon like Charizard...
However, their "illusions" have great potential for growth, and some special individuals can even rival the performance of legendary powerful Pokémon.
Ye Yinchuan offered his assessment of Zoroark, a Pokémon, from his personal perspective.
[Base stats comparable to Charizard? That's impressive!]
[Hmm... I used to think of these Pokémon as Mythical or Legendary Pokémon, but with so many appearing all at once, they seem less valuable!]
[Actually, they're still quite rare. It's estimated that there are very few Zoroark individuals; they mostly live in groups.]
"Zorua, after evolving into Zoroark, will undergo a qualitative change in its illusion ability. In addition to creating illusions of itself, it can also create illusions, and even group illusions, the kind that hundreds of people can see at the same time!"
As for this Zoroark, it's even more impressive. It was able to create an illusion for so many of you even through the internet. It must be considered the elite of the elite among the Zoroark!
[Wow, that's incredible! Over 100,000 people were watching the stream simultaneously. How powerful must that illusion be?]
Is it possible to use illusions to attack us across the internet?
"This is uncertain..."
Ye Yinchuan could only say that it was like an illusion, and that Pokémon with mental powers seemed to have some things in common.
For example, the illusions created by the Soul Reaper and Zoroark are based on belief; they exist if you believe in them, and do not exist if you do not. If you do not believe in them at all, or if you have no fear in your heart, you can break through them.
The abilities of Zoroark and Porygon can be transmitted along the network to some extent, as can those of Ho-Oh.
"Anyone who poses a threat to the Zoroark clan will be punished by the Zoroark with terrifying illusions. The reason why Nosegate and I were attacked by the illusions of the Three Holy Beasts just now was because we were mistaken for intruders."
After listening to Ye Yinchuan's explanation, Zoroark's eyes showed both surprise and awe. It exclaimed:
"Phoenix King's envoy, you know so much about us! Even those humans who captured us and used us for experiments probably didn't know even a tenth as much as you do!"
[6. What is it like to receive Zoroark's personal approval?]
[It feels like having your underwear stripped off in front of the real person!]
Zoroark beckoned its people over, and Ye Yinchuan finally got to pet the fox-like Zoroark, which he adored.
"I wish I could capture one."
Upon hearing this, Zoroark narrowed his eyes slightly:
"You want to take my people away?"
Ye Yinchuan was quite frank and nodded.
Zoroark looked at Ye Yinchuan's Pokémon and said:
"You've raised these Pokémon so well. You must have given them a lot of care and love. If it were someone else, I would never allow it, but if it's you, I won't interfere as long as any of your children are willing to go with you."
Upon hearing Zoroark's words, Ye Yinchuan was overjoyed.
This trip to the Crystal Forest yielded the capture of a Nosegate, which is enough to add a highlight to the tourist park. If we could also bring back a Zoroar, it would definitely be one of the main highlights when the tourist park opens!
Of course, that's secondary. The most important thing is that Ye Yinchuan also really likes these Pokémon.
The Fiery Roaring Tiger beside him revealed a look of disdain, as if to say, "You fickle human, you fall in love with every girl you see. When you tricked me into coming home, you were just like that. You called me Mimi back then, and now you call me Sangbiao!"
Ye Yinchuan: ...? Didn't you tell me to call him Sang Biao?
Now that Zoroark has granted him this privilege and opportunity, Ye Yinchuan is determined to make the most of it. He will select a Zoroark on the spot to capture!
