Chapter 374, "The Secrets of Alola," reappears, featuring the dragon-type Exeggutor.
Chapter 374, "The Secrets of Alola," reappears: Exeggutor, a Dragon-type! What's with the head growing on its tail?!
Ye Yinchuan's question left both the interviewers and the audience somewhat bewildered.
The person on the other end of the line looked thoughtful, clearly considering the reason why Ye Yinchuan would ask such a question... If he asked it like that, it meant that, most likely, there was an Exeggutor besides grass and superpowers?
What could it be?
Completely beyond his knowledge base, the person connected felt his imagination was somewhat lacking.
However, he had watched Ye Yinchuan's live streams quite often, and immediately came up with some clues:
"It must be a special form of Exeggutor, right? But I've never heard of it before. What are its attributes? How is its form different from a regular Exeggutor?"
As the live streamer made these reactions, the comments section also began to buzz.
[I suspect the streamer is going to start making up stories about some special Pokémon he's seen in ancient books again!]
First of all, I've always been skeptical about the existence of those so-called ancient books, but to say he actually compiled them seems even more absurd!
[Besides being a grass plant and having superpowers... what kind of attribute could Exeggutor have? It's hard to guess, it can't be a dragon attribute, can it?]
Upon seeing one of the comments, Ye Yinchuan, who had been smiling but not smiling, almost couldn't hold back anymore. Wait, did someone actually guess this correctly?
You should know that not everyone in the Pokémon world has ever seen an Exeggutor, and special forms of Exeggutor are even rarer and absolutely unknown... At least until now, Ye Yinchuan has not come across any related information.
The only explanation is that it was a lucky accident, a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.
However, Ye Yinchuan was still unwilling to give up and asked the comment in the barrage:
"Dude, how did you come up with the dragon attribute?"
【Huh? Is that too far-fetched? I think the exeggutor's body, teeth, and even its feet look a bit like a reptile. I was just saying it offhand, not trying to cause trouble, please don't take offense, host!】
……
【How come exeggutor trees have nothing to do with dragons?】
[I think it should be a ghost story, because of the eerie legend of the Exeggutor tree with a human face. If you see the head of the Exeggutor tree as a human face or head, it makes sense... For example, would the resentment of a wandering ghost who died in the wild attach itself to the tree, causing it to grow a human head? What do you think?]
The comments section was still buzzing with discussion, and no one really took the guess that "Exeggutor is a dragon-type" to heart. After all, in the general public's mind, this thing has absolutely nothing to do with dragons.
"Time's almost up, so I'll reveal the answer. Only this viewer got it right... It's that Exeggutor, besides Grass and Psychic types, might also have another type: Dragon!"
Ye Yinchuan revealed the truth and made the answer public.
The person on the other end of the line, though somewhat prepared, was clearly unprepared and couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.
"Does a Dragon-type Exeggutor really exist? Is it an extremely rare mutated individual?"
[666, the anchor isn't even acting anymore? They'll say anything for the sake of the show?]
[If a coconut tree can identify a dragon-related element, we need to hire an expert for our household!]
[Don't rush to criticize, everyone. First, take a closer look at the ID. This is Kirby's treasure...]
[Seriously, what kind of outrageous Pokémon haven't we seen in this livestream? Many Pokémon possess Dragon-type genes, Exeggutor does, and then it's quite reasonable for a particular individual to excel in them, right?]
Watching the heated discussion in the live stream, Ye Yinchuan watched with a detached, expectant expression.
He was used to being startled like this.
"The Dragon-type Exeggutor isn't actually a mutated individual, but rather an entire species that once existed. I saw a record of this species in 'Alola Chronicles.' In the ancient Alola region, the sunlight was exceptionally intense, causing the local Exeggutor to awaken the dragon power hidden within them, thus evolving into the special Dragon-type Exeggutor..."
Ye Yinchuan recounted the story in detail.
[Fine, fine, so the streamer's going to live off these few ancient books for the rest of his life, huh?]
[No wonder they refuse to release the contents of the ancient books. I wouldn't be happy either. Leaking bits of information every now and then is enough to sustain them for a lifetime, or even make them family heirlooms!]
[Ha...then I have to say the streamer is hypocritical. He keeps saying he wants to spread Pokémon knowledge, but if he really wanted to, he could just publish those ancient books and popularize it among the general public, wouldn't that be enough?]
[Upstairs, everyone else is just having fun, why are you taking it seriously? The streamer is already being generous by sharing this for free! Before it was made public, any one of the pieces of information he shared could make an ordinary person rich overnight! Even if it were made public, it would benefit millions of families, how can you criticize that?]
Ye Yinchuan looked at the comments and never expected that this would cause a new controversy. He ignored them and simply returned to the topic of Pokémon itself.
"Actually, the environment of the Alola region in ancient times was the best and most suitable for Exeggutor to grow in. In other words, the Dragon-type Exeggutor may be the true Exeggutor, or rather, what Exeggutor should look like..."
The Exeggutor, with its Grass/Psychic type, may simply have adopted this survival strategy out of necessity to adapt to an unsuitable environment.
This line of thinking is interesting.
[So, what does a Dragon-type Exeggutor look like? Streamer, you didn't provide a picture, so you're just describing a Torchic!]
"Ahem... As for what a Dragon-type Exeggutor looks like, it's probably hard to see now because the environment of the Alola region in ancient times doesn't exist, but I can draw it for you."
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan found a picture of an excoecaria agallocha and began to draw it in front of the viewers in the live stream.
[Wow... the streamer has this skill too?]
[I could feel the abstract style from the very first stroke!]
Wait a minute, why did you draw so high in all those empty spaces?
The current situation is as follows—
Ye Yinchuan started from a very high place next to a picture of an excoecaria agallocha, which seemed very out of place to the audience.
Generally speaking, there's no need to draw it that high.
It seems the streamer really doesn't understand composition!
[The aspect ratio needs to be harmonious... Where did this go wrong?]
Ye Yinchuan ignored the criticisms in the comments section, because he had his reasons for doing so.
If the audience doesn't understand, it can only mean they have their reasons for not understanding, but once they draw it themselves, everything will become clear.
Wait a minute... that neck is way too long! Even Qilin Qi would be ashamed of himself!
[Host, are you really not just being abstract? Sometimes I'm a little scared of you...]
[666, don't tell me this ratio is the actual ratio of a Dragon-type Exeggutor to a regular Exeggutor!]
[Dude, just because it has a tail doesn't make it a dragon? What does this thing have to do with dragons?]
Although Ye Yinchuan's drawing skills were limited, coconut trees weren't that difficult to draw. He could just draw some grass, a few eggs, a tree, two legs, and a tail, and that would be it...
"Oh, I almost forgot."
Ye Yinchuan thought of something. Exeggutor, a dragon-type tree, or rather, an Exeggutor from the Alola region, has another distinctive feature: an underdeveloped head on its tail, meaning it needs to have an extra egg drawn on it.
[I'm dying of laughter! Streamer, you still say you're not being abstract? What kind of decent person has a brain on their ass?]
This isn't just a matter of abstract concepts; the streamer's gotten too big for their britches—they're insulting the audience's intelligence!
If such a Pokémon really existed, I'd eat it!
[Just arrived, and if you didn't know better, you'd think it was some kind of Pokémon fan art... It's hilarious!]
Perhaps it's because the art style of the Alola Exeggutor is a bit too unique, or perhaps it's because there wasn't a living example for this explanation...
This has led to a significant portion of the audience being unable to accept the authenticity of this thing...
Of course, Ye Yinchuan would never doubt that his terrible drawing skills were partly to blame!
"..."
The person connecting was also rendered speechless by the streamer. He was a fan of Exeggutor trees, but he never expected that Exeggutor trees could grow like this.
However, Ye Yinchuan's knowledge and understanding of the coconut tree had previously impressed him.
Therefore, he felt very conflicted at this moment, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
Ye Yinchuan was unconcerned about the audience's doubts. With his current status, he would not be overwhelmed by the doubts of this small group. Most people would still trust his authority.
Since there's no real-world example anyway, if all else fails, just treat it as a bit of fun during the live stream. Believe it or not, it's up to you.
But what needs to be explained still needs to be explained.
"Compared to the Exeggutor form we commonly see now, Alola Exeggutor, due to the awakening of hidden dragon power, does not need to rely too much on spiritual power..."
Some individuals may decline, but that doesn't mean their spiritual strength is necessarily inferior to that of a normal form of Exeggutor.
"As long as one is willing to develop it, or when necessary, it is by no means weak, and may even become stronger due to the blessing of dragon power."
Does this mean it has become more comprehensive?
To be honest, if this is true, no Dragon-type Pokémon is weak.
Could you explain why a head grows on top of a tail?
"It's a very simple principle. In ancient times, the competition between Pokémon was extremely fierce, or rather, the living environment was much harsher. In order to survive, Alolan Exeggutor evolved a fourth head on its tail..."
Imagine, the Alola Exeggutor is so tall, and although it has a very wide field of vision in front of it, it is somewhat helpless and even very clumsy when facing an enemy attacking from behind.
The fourth head of the Alolan Exeggutor is a survival mechanism created to compensate for this deficiency. Although this head looks immature, it actually has independent thought and telepathic abilities, enabling it to better detect danger and even launch psychic attacks.
This is too plausible; now I have to believe it...
On the contrary, precisely because it was fabricated by the broadcaster, its logic is too closed, but in reality, biological evolution is illogical.
Anyway...it's really interesting. I wish I could actually see a dragon-type exeggutor tree like that!
Seeing the comments on the screen, Ye Yinchuan also expressed that it was indeed a pity that we could no longer see the dragon-attribute Exeggutor.
Then, something occurred to him:
"No problem. Although we can't see any Dragon-type Alolan Exeggutor right now, if the streamer encounters one later, he'll definitely show it to everyone..."
If all else fails, the streamer will simply select an Exeggutor with Dragon-type potential and train it to resemble an Alolan Exeggutor, essentially creating a rare, discontinued Pokémon for you all!
[Awesome! Speaking of which, many of the streamer's Pokémon are extremely rare, even one-of-a-kind!]
[Wow, this streamer is amazing! I'm following you now. Once you get your first Alola Exeggutor, I'll definitely shower you with gifts!]
Seeing the feedback from the comments, Ye Yinchuan's lips curled up; his mind had just been suddenly opened up.
That is--
The Pokémon he knew, such as certain regional forms or special evolutions, were things that ordinary people in this world could only encounter by chance...
But with his knowledge of Pokémon and the advantage of being a time traveler, he could turn the tables and take the initiative. If he couldn't find one through online live streams or outdoor adventures, he could just create one himself!
This approach has another huge advantage: the short-term conversion rate of traffic and the subsequent stable traffic revenue are much better than if you just stumble upon it by chance, especially since sometimes when you're online and can only watch other people's streams, it's not quite the same.
Milotics is a perfect example.
The evolution from Feebas to Milotic can be said to have pioneered an unprecedented path and was one of the most successful cases in the early days of Ye Yinchuan's live streaming career. It even drove the entire Feebas industry chain, making more people aware of it and willing to invest in and cultivate Feebas...
Not only did they capture traffic from both short videos and live streaming, but they also made a fortune from both. Looking back now, it was still incredibly satisfying.
The key is to first construct an evolutionary vision for the audience, creating a sense of anticipation. Then, the attracted fans will continue to follow...
Everyone was thrilled when the evolution finally happened!
"Am I really a genius? No... I'm only now trying to grasp this line of thought firmly; I'm still a bit slow."
At this point, Ye Yinchuan secretly resolved to develop various rare evolutions and regional forms of Pokémon into a long-term content for his short videos and live streams!
"Family members, please remember to follow us. I will share any updates on the Alola Exeggutor through our video channel as soon as possible."
[So here's the question, streamer: do you have a secret formula for activating the power of the Egg Dragon? Could you share it?]
For a moment, Ye Yinchuan wondered how he could "make two uses out of one treasure" if he shared the method. But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that evolving an Alolan Exeggutor wasn't that easy, so there was no need to be stingy.
"Actually, the answer is hidden in what I said before. In ancient times, the Alola region had very strong sunlight, which was the most suitable environment for Exeggutor and Exeggutor to grow..."
So, to unleash Exeggutor's dragon power right now, the only solution is to artificially increase the amount of light. However, I estimate that for the best results, a large number of Sun Stones would be needed. Additionally, Exeggutor's evolution into Exeggutor also requires a significant amount of energy. I recommend using it in conjunction with Leaf Stones for optimal results…
Of course, even if you do it this way, it's definitely not guaranteed that Exeggutor will evolve into Alolan Exeggutor...
Because I have every reason to suspect that the dragon power within the Exeggutor and Exeggutor trees that exist today is extremely diluted. It's like a body that's very weak; no matter how much external stimulation it receives, it won't be able to stand up.
[Body, specifically referring to?]
What just rolled across my face?
