165: Section 165

Could it be that they had encountered a Pokémon that could turn invisible?

After much thought, this seemed to be the most likely possibility.

"No, not invisible, but hidden in the sand!"

Just as Zhang Yu was about to make a judgment, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a half-red, half-white spherical protrusion on the beach ahead.

At first, Zhang Yu didn't pay it any mind; after all, this spherical protrusion was simply too small, even a shrunken Poké Ball would be larger than it.

But upon seeing this spherical object, he suddenly thought of a certain Pokémon and immediately guessed what was going on.

"Let me see if I guessed correctly."

Thinking this, Zhang Yu immediately took out a ranz berry and threw it towards the spherical protrusion.

Under everyone's gaze, just as the ranz berry was about to drop onto the beach, the spherical protrusion suddenly grew larger, transforming into a large mouth full of sharp teeth, and swallowed the ranz berry in one gulp.

As it moved, a lot of the sand covering its body fell off, revealing its true appearance.

It was a Pokémon that was entirely gray, looked somewhat like a giant bear trap, and also somewhat like a flat-bodied fish.

With just one glance, Zhang Yu recognized its identity.

"It really is you, Galarian Ponyta of Stunfisk."

After clearly seeing its appearance, Zhang Yu immediately had an 'as expected' expression.

"Huh? Why did Anchor suddenly stop?"

"Could it be that he found a Pokémon?"

"Rather than saying he found a Pokémon, wouldn't it be more appropriate to say he found danger?"

"Is there a possibility that this danger comes from a certain Pokémon?"

"Indeed, the only threats to Anchor and them here would be a few unfriendly Pokémon, right?"

"Although that's true, how come I don't see any Pokémon?"

"Not just you, I don't see anything either."

"Could it be that the Pokémon is hidden in the water?"

"Doesn't seem like it. I see Anchor's gaze is focused on the beach, and he doesn't seem to be paying much attention to the sea."

"Yeah, if the threat was from the sea, shouldn't Anchor and them be speeding up to leave? They would only stop if the threat was from the beach ahead, right?"

"Although what you said makes a lot of sense, I still can't find a single Pokémon on the beach."

"It's fine, from Anchor's reaction, he has clearly found it."

"Oh my! So it was hidden in the sand! No wonder I couldn't find it after searching for so long!"

"This Pokémon, why does it look so much like a bear trap?"

"You're right, it really does look like a bear trap."

"No, this should be a fish, right?"

"Looks like a fish and a bear trap? What kind of strange Pokémon is this?"

At first, the Water Friends were a bit puzzled when they saw Zhang Yu suddenly stop because they didn't see any Pokémon ahead.

Chapter 213 Stunfisk (Requesting Subscription)

But when they finally saw the true face of Stunfisk, they couldn't help but be stunned.

There was no other way, Stunfisk simply looked a bit too strange.

If they hadn't seen it move with their own eyes, they really wouldn't have believed it was a Pokémon.

If it had just lain there motionless, most people would have thought it was just a bear trap, or mistaken it for a dead fish.

"This Pokémon, which is somewhat unfriendly to us, is called Stunfisk. It is a Ground-type and Electric Pokémon."

"Under normal circumstances, Stunfisk will bury its body in the mud by the sea or on the beach, and then lie there quietly waiting for prey to take the bait."

"Once prey approaches it within a certain distance, it will release a strong Electric current to paralyze it."

"Of course, its food mainly consists of ordinary animals."

"As for Pokémon, they almost never become its food."

"This is not only because Stunfisk's strength is relatively average and not very strong, but also because it is a bully."

"When it encounters an opponent it cannot paralyze, it will twist its body at an unimaginable speed and Bounce away from here."

"Of course, what I just described refers to ordinary Stunfisk, not this Galarian Ponyta of Stunfisk."

"Although Stunfisk has transformed into a regional form, its appearance and attributes have undergone significant changes."

"It has changed from its original Ground-type and Electric to its current Ground-type and Steel-type."

"And because the land in the Galar region is rich in metallic substances, it has also gained a stronger and more robust steel body as a result."

"Furthermore, its fins have also become serrated, making it look completely like a bear trap from a distance."

"If anyone dares to step on it, it will immediately use its steel-like fins to tightly clamp the opponent, preventing them from escaping."

"Overall, both the ordinary Stunfisk and the Galarian Ponyta of Stunfisk are relatively dangerous Pokémon."

"When you encounter them in the wild, absolutely do not try to provoke them. It's best to get away from them as quickly as possible at the first opportunity."

After glancing at the bullet comments in the live stream, Zhang Yu began to introduce Stunfisk.

And at the end of his words, he specifically added a warning.

Although Stunfisk is a Pokémon that bullies the weak and fears the strong, and its danger is usually not great, if you really step on it, it's inevitable to get some injuries.

And if you don't have a Pokémon for self-defense, the situation will become even worse.

If you're not careful, something could really happen.

"Goodness, so the seemingly inconspicuous Stunfisk is such a dangerous Pokémon?"

"This really is a case of not judging a book by its cover."

"It seems I need to be more careful when walking from now on, especially paying attention to where I step."

"That's right, especially on the seashore or in soft ground, it's particularly important to pay attention to this."

"If you accidentally get hit by Stunfisk, you might just go straight to the hospital, right?"

"You'd be lucky to go to the hospital; if you're unlucky, you might just be done for."

"Hey! Don't try to scare people there!"

"Who's scaring you? What I said is all true!"

"Really, really?"

"Think about it yourself. Although Stunfisk isn't too strong, its strength won't be weak either. If a Pokémon falls into its trap, it's fine, but if we humans fall into its trap, do you think our bodies can really withstand it?"

"This does seem to be a problem."

"Not just a problem, but a big problem. Once attacked by Stunfisk, even if you're lucky, you'll get injured. And if you're unlucky and encounter a stronger Stunfisk... then you'll probably be severely injured. If you can't be sent to the hospital in time, you'll most likely be done for."

"Hiss~ Is Stunfisk really such a dangerous Pokémon?"

"Pretty much, so you must be careful."

"I originally wanted to go to the beach to try my luck and see if I could encounter a suitable Water-type Pokémon. Now it seems it's better to give up this idea for now, otherwise, if I accidentally step on a Stunfisk, that would be terrible."

"Actually, you don't need to be this careful. From what we can see, the number of Stunfisk shouldn't be large. After all, so far, we haven't heard any news about Stunfisk in other places, have we?"

"That's true too."

After hearing Zhang Yu's introduction to Stunfisk, many Water Friends in the live stream classified Stunfisk as a dangerous Pokémon.

Chapter 214 Krabby

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Stunfisk are actually quite rare Pokémon."

"Even if you wanted to encounter one, it wouldn't be an easy task."

"However, being careful when out and about is a good habit. Otherwise, even if you don't step on a Stunfisk, you might step on other Pokémon."

Seeing that the appearance of Stunfisk seemed to have scared quite a few people, Zhang Yu immediately spoke to reassure them.

"Huh?"

"That is..."

But just as he was about to say something more, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a group of Pokémon walking majestically on the beach ahead.

At first, Zhang Yu hadn't seen their appearance clearly, but when they got closer to a certain distance, he finally saw what they looked like.

They were a group of large crabs whose upper bodies and claws were orange.

Although these crabs, apart from their somewhat strange color and large size, were not much different from ordinary crabs, Zhang Yu recognized them at a glance as Krabby.

"Water Gun!"

What surprised Zhang Yu was that whenever this group of Krabby saw any raised areas on the beach, they would aim their giant crab claws at them and spray streams of Water Gun, leveling out those uneven spots.
