Chapter 221 The Incredibly Courageous Spearow! A Brilliant but Short-Lived Life! Skarmory and Vultur
Chapter 221 The "Super Courageous" Spearow! A magnificent but short life! Skarmory and Vulture!
What is a Finch? Is it a new Pokémon species?
[These are Fiery Sparrows specifically used for breeding.]
Wait, there are actually artificially bred Fiery Sparrows?
[Spearow are harder to raise than Pidgeys, so the profit margin is higher.]
At this moment, a heated discussion broke out in the live chat.
The term "sparrow breeding" in particular has piqued the curiosity of many who are unfamiliar with it.
[You have approved the connection request from user "Master Sparrow Keeper"!]
[Connection successful!]
Along with the notification, a live stream screen popped up, showing a person dressed as a farmer appearing on the screen, with a bird-shaped Pokémon that had not appeared in the live stream before beside him.
Ye Yinchuan was taken aback: "The breeding bird you're talking about, could it be this one?"
"Of course not! Although Skarmory and Spearow are both bird Pokémon, they're not from the same species!"
Hearing what the person on the other end of the line said, Ye Yinchuan nodded, admiring the Pokémon's posture.
This Pokémon is called Skarmory, and it's not exactly an unknown Pokémon in the Pokémon world.
As its name suggests, the armored bird is covered in armor as hard as steel.
The wings have a very special structure, resembling steel blades, with a silver surface and a red interior.
The shape of the armored bird's head, viewed from the side, doesn't quite resemble a bird; it looks more like a reptile.
"In the original work, Skarmory has neither a rudimentary form nor an evolved form... Perhaps it hasn't been designed yet, or perhaps it has been forgotten..."
Ye Yinchuan thought to himself,
Is it possible that Skarmory actually contains dragon-type genes?
This association is based on the red on the armored bird's wings, as well as the bluish tinge on its neck, tail, and claws.
However, this is just a very superficial idea and has no practical basis.
Furthermore, Skarmory doesn't have any Dragon-type moves in the Pokédex.
[Armored Bird? With such heavy armor, can it even fly? Probably like the Spearow, it can't fly high or far.]
[The person upstairs is overthinking it. The armored bird's body is light, thin, and sturdy, with sharp feathers... its only drawback is that it rusts easily!]
I've heard that the armored bird can fly at speeds of up to 300 kilometers per hour!
Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan nodded.
He didn't need to say much about Pokémon, as these are all Pokémon that netizens are quite familiar with.
The interviewer also took the opportunity to say:
"This Skarmory is very strong in battle. I raised it specifically to deal with Spearow. As you know, Spearow has a fiery temper and is prone to attacking people and Pokémon. My old Miltank couldn't withstand Spearow's attacks and had to retire early."
But ever since this armored bird arrived, the finches have all become obedient. Neither the finches' sharp beaks nor their sharp claws can penetrate the armored bird's shell, so there's no need to worry about getting hurt when managing the finches.
By the way, the feathers that fall from the armored bird can be used to make kitchen knives, they're really useful... Host, could you give me your address later and I can send you one?
[Haha, is this considered sending razor blades?]
I really envy streamers; they get so many gifts every day.
"Hmm... okay."
Ye Yinchuan pondered that he sometimes needed to cook, and the kitchen knife at home was getting a bit dull. It wouldn't be bad if someone gave him a new one, and it wouldn't cost him any money.
However, he knew that kitchen knives made from eagle feathers had to be well maintained, as they would easily rust if not dried quickly after coming into contact with water!
"By the way, what's your name?"
Since the other party is going to give me a kitchen knife, I should at least know their name.
"Host, you're so young, you could call me uncle. Just call me Uncle Bird."
Upon hearing this name, Ye Yinchuan almost blurted out:
"Oppa, kill him?"
Of course, he doubted the other person would be able to catch the joke, so he decided against it.
"Then thank you in advance for your cleaver, Uncle Bird. By the way, how about that peacock you mentioned?"
Psy laughed and said:
"Host, here's the thing. Besides asking you to help me look at that breeding finch today, I'd also like to ask you to help me pick a finch with strong battle potential to participate in this year's finch fighting tournament. As payment, I can give you a finch egg; you can choose whichever you like, how about it?"
Upon hearing Psy's words, Ye Yinchuan pondered for a moment.
He already has five Pokémon. Getting another one isn't impossible, but it's a bit of a challenge...
But then he thought again:
"Uncle Bird, helping you choose is no problem. But can I save this peacock egg for another time?"
"Of course! You're welcome anytime!"
Upon hearing Ye Yinchuan's words, Bird Uncle was overjoyed, knowing that the matter was settled.
【What mahjong tournament? Never heard of it?】
[It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Many Pokémon have their own competitions, some based on appearance, some on battles... This Sparrow Fighting Tournament is held once a year, and it's specifically for Spearow. It has to be a Spearow; if it evolves into a Feraligatr, it doesn't count. Isn't that interesting?]
Why? The big-billed finches have been expelled from the finches' ranks?
[The Big-Toothed Sparrow has other plans; there's another competition called the Sparrow King Championship.]
Seeing the last comment, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but chuckle. "A Mahjong King Tournament? Does that mean the Mahjong King will evolve into a Phoenix King?"
"So...which one should we look at first?"
Ye Yinchuan pressed on with the pace, since the upcoming matches would be one after another, and he couldn't afford to pause here.
"Let's take a look at that finches first."
Psy moved the camera around, searching for the whereabouts of the breeding bird.
Along the way, you can see some finless ...
What's going on? Are all these jays sick?
[Upstairs, you didn't understand. Those birds mated with all those fierce birds; they probably took them down!]
Wow! That's way too intense!
"Yes, the words may be rough, but the reasoning is correct. What the netizens said is right. These Fiery Sparrows were all tormented by that kind of sparrow... That guy tormented us all night long, seemingly with endless energy, and didn't need to rest at all! I'm worried that this guy might have some kind of problem, and I'm afraid it might be like this, so I wanted to ask you, the host, to take a look."
Ye Yinchuan blushed slightly; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
"Let's see, let's wait and see."
Bird Uncle was also searching for the finches, and asked with some puzzlement:
"Where did that guy go...?"
After a while, Bird Uncle finally saw the breeding bird on a flat piece of ground.
The pheasant lay motionless on the ground.
"Huh? It didn't really die of exhaustion, did it?"
Upon witnessing this, Psy felt deeply saddened and regretful, saying, "Something must have gone wrong with this guy. He had no sense of restraint and ended up working himself to death!"
[666! This Spearow is amazing!]
【Wait, I thought this Fiery Sparrow would be a big, fierce one, but it looks so skinny!】
[You don't understand, it's just that these greyhounds are a bit more formidable!]
So, you're really knowledgeable, huh?
Looking at the comments and the scene before him, Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated, but then his expression changed.
Because he discovered that the finless jay was neither dead nor exhausted...
On the contrary, what is it actually expecting?
As Ye Yinchuan listened to the fiery sparrow's inner thoughts, his expression became strange.
Just as he was about to tell Bird Uncle not to worry, he saw the Fiery Sparrow raise its head slightly, look at Bird Uncle in a very human-like way, then put its wing to its beak as if making a "shh" gesture, and pointed upwards.
What's going on? This is a Seraphim?
[It seems to be as intelligent as a human; does it mean it wants Psy to be quiet and look up?]
Just as everyone was slightly surprised and confused, Psy raised the camera, and there was a bird-shaped Pokémon circling in the sky...
This bird-like Pokémon is much larger than Spearow. Soaring in the sky, it looks like a fighter jet, exuding a sense of oppression, and resembles an eagle.
What kind of Pokémon is this?
Why are there still bones in my body?
"This is... Vulturena!"
Bird Uncle looked at the Pokémon, his eyes sparkling, and said...
"Vulpeculiar has a very ferocious personality. She hunts weak prey and takes their bones back to her nest as decorations... Although they are all bird Pokémon, Vulpeculiar will also eat Spearow! Many of my Spearows were eaten this way! This one is lying motionless on the ground, playing dead to avoid danger because Vulpeculiar has her eye on it!"
Psy exclaimed in surprise.
[I said Vulture, so why the "Na" at the end? Oh, it's a Pokémon's name.]
This bird is so clever! It even knows how to play dead! But Uncle Bird and the armored bird have arrived; it's saved!
But Ye Yinchuan shook his head: "You're all wrong... It wasn't the Fierce Sparrow that was targeted, but Vulture Na... Or rather, high-level hunters always appear as the prey!"
"What?"
Birdman thought he misheard; the anchor actually said that it wasn't Sparrow that was being targeted, but Vulture Na?
Vulture Nako is the final evolved form, much stronger than the initial form of Spearow.
Only the Big-Toothed Sparrow has a chance to go up against the Vulture, but even then, it's not guaranteed to be a match for her!
You should know that although the name of the Vulture is Vulture, it is actually the Bone Eagle Pokémon, which is basically an eagle!
A base stat total of 510!
Even if Spearow evolves into Finch, its base stat total is only a pitiful 442, a difference of sixty or seventy points. The difference in strength is obvious!
The viewers in the live chat also didn't understand.
[Host, although Spearow is fierce, it's like a chick next to Vulture Na. Isn't it clear who the prey is?]
Could this fiery sparrow possess the bloodline of the Phoenix King?
Just as Ye Yinchuan was thinking about how to explain, Vulture Na swooped down on the Fierce Sparrow.
However, the Fiery Sparrow performed a somersault, dodging Vulturena's attack, and then mounted her on its back...
To be more precise, he stuck to Vulturena's butt and then unleashed a barrage of attacks...
The scene was rather shocking, and the vulture Na was terrified, flapping her wings in a panic, scattering her feathers all over the ground.
"What's going on?"
Psy was shocked.
The viewers in the live chat were also shocked.
Holy crap! This Fiery Sparrow isn't even sparing Vulture Na?!
[This is unbelievable... This is like a teddy bear among birds!]
[Excellent! This Fierce Sparrow is absolutely terrifying!]
[Now I understand just how powerful this Fiery Sparrow truly is!]
Even though Ye Yinchuan was mentally prepared, he was still dumbfounded by the scene.
Explosive! Absolutely explosive!
Is this broadcastable?
[I'm speechless. I hope the livestream gets banned later!]
At this moment, the vulture-like creature seemed to calm down, and a terrifying power began to surge from its body—a malevolent energy that rippled around it…
The Fiery Sparrow couldn't withstand the strain and let out a miserable cry before falling off Vulturena's body.
With disbelief and terror in her eyes, Vulturena turned and hurriedly flew into the sky, disappearing from sight.
"Big Bird! Are you alright?!"
Upon seeing this, Birdman rushed forward to check on the situation of the Fiery Sparrow. He saw that the Fiery Sparrow was spitting blood and all the bones in its body were broken, but a satisfied smile appeared on its face, as if to say that it had no regrets in this life.
[A large bird... Is that the name of this finches? Sorry, I really can't help but laugh!]
[Sigh, Vulturena is a very strong Pokémon. Was that a Dark Pulse? That Spearow probably won't survive!]
"Big Sparrow, don't die! I will definitely heal you. You are the most powerful breeding sparrow in our sparrow farm... Your achievements will be remembered for generations to come!"
Although Psy had previously joked about the jaguar, he couldn't help but show his true feelings when he saw that the jaguar was seriously injured.
Actually, he still admired this finches; it was a true man among finches, a fighter jet among true men...
The reason I specifically sought out Ye Yinchuan to consult about its condition was for its health.
But now, this fiery sparrow, though it has just reached the pinnacle of its life, is about to leave him!
"Don't rush to mourn. I think it can still be saved. Although Vulturena is very powerful, much more powerful than this Seraphim, the Seraphim's actions caught it somewhat off guard, so the energy it released was less than a tenth of its power... Therefore, although the Seraphim is seriously injured, with some treatment, it won't die just like that."
Ye Yinchuan pondered that the vulture Na was level 55, while this Fiery Sparrow was only level 15.
With a level difference of 40, crushing this Fiery Sparrow was as easy as crushing an ant.
But... Vulturena was truly panicked.
The move "Malice Wave" not only mobilizes evil attribute energy, but its power is also determined by the "malice" in one's heart, that is, the degree of ferocity.
The vulture was so panicked that after shooting down the Fiery Sparrow, its first reaction was not to attack, but to run away... You can imagine how fragile its heart was at that moment!
However, to be fair, if we apply human morality and perspective, this Fiery Sparrow was truly born...
But it's just a Fiery Sparrow, born that way, so all I can say is that it's awesome!
At the same time, Spearow's performance today is something they can brag about for a lifetime within the Spearow community.
Upon hearing this, the bird uncle quickly performed emergency treatment on the Spearow and then called the Pokémon Center for emergency assistance.
After calming down a bit, Uncle Bird couldn't help but ask:
"Host, what's wrong with this Fiery Sparrow? Is there something wrong with it? It's risking its life for the sake of breeding... And is Vulture Na even from its own species? Why is it just forcing itself on her?"
Ye Yinchuan also said that this Fiery Sparrow was extraordinary.
But after checking this Fiery Sparrow's stats, its abilities are mediocre.
The only special thing about it is that it has an extraordinary quality—
[Trait: Extremely courageous]
This kind of Fiery Sparrow is incredibly shrewd, a natural breeding stock. Its purpose in life is to reproduce, and even to enjoy the process of reproduction and conquest... Therefore, during mating, it unleashes its infinite potential, gaining boundless strength and courage.
However, as a price, this Fiery Sparrow's lifespan will be very short... though short, it's a short but incredibly courageous one!
When Ye Yinchuan saw this trait, he was also a little puzzled, wondering if it was just a joke.
But considering the traits of being a "study tyrant" and having "a balance of fire and water" already mentioned, not to mention other traits like "fear of heights" and "super-male syndrome"...
It seems that although this trait is outrageous, it's not all that complicated.
After all, based solely on the description of this trait, there are indeed similar individuals among humans...
Throughout history, there have been many people who are audacious enough to commit sexual acts!
Whether he was "extremely bold" or "outrageously lewd," Ye Yinchuan declined to comment.
Ye Yinchuan could only offer another explanation for Psy and the audience:
"Your fiery sparrow is indeed exceptionally gifted, especially in breeding. If you want it to live longer, you'll have to temper it to some extent. However... that might be very painful for it. Since its profession is that of a breeding sparrow, and its mission is to breed, you might as well let it live a life of great fervor!"
Ye Yinchuan still remembers that an important principle in Pokémon breeding is respect.
Respect a Pokémon's habits and its individuality.
After hearing Ye Yinchuan's assessment, Bird Uncle nodded seriously, confirming it once again:
"So, it's not a disease, but a talent?"
"Yes. But I suggest you add a bird net to your bird farm. From what you've said, this isn't the first time that Vulture has come... These Pokémon are very dangerous. It's one thing if it eats a few of your Spearows, but if it hurts someone one day, that would be a big problem."
"Okay, host, I'll definitely listen to you."
Bird Uncle's face turned slightly pale, and he was also a little scared. He didn't know much about Vulture, and didn't even know that Vulture was a Pokémon that could only evolve at a very high level.
At the same time, he seemed to have made up his mind:
"I will restrict this fierce finch to some extent. But once it recovers from its injuries, it will still be the most powerful breeding finch in our finch! I will also take it to other finches for breeding so that it can shine brightly!"
Why do I feel so touched and excited?
To be honest, I'm quite envious...
[Upstairs, do you even deserve to be called that?]
[This Fiery Sparrow is something else!]
The comments section erupted in discussion.
When the people from the Pokémon Center arrived, they took the Spearow away for emergency treatment.
Psy sent one of the staff members from the venue to look after it.
He wanted to continue his connection with Ye Yinchuan.
It's clear that Psy has some affection for that jaguar, but not much.
Of course, it's also possible that they were certain the Fiery Sparrow wasn't seriously injured and just needed treatment, so they weren't so worried about it.
"Host, please help me choose a Spearow!"
Psy made a sincere request and also presented a batch of gifts worth two thousand yuan.
"Thank you for the gift, Psy. You're too kind. Didn't we already agree that you would also give me a peacock egg?"
Psy said:
"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for ten minutes. I know you make money from live streaming, so consider it compensation for lost work time!"
"Alright, Psy, let's begin!"
Ye Yinchuan readily agreed.
