186: Section 186

“Isn’t that good luck? I heard that Reba now has at least three Pokémon. Poor me, I don’t even have one Pokémon yet.”

“No, aren’t there Poké Balls now? How can you not even have one Pokémon?”

“Yeah, putting aside other Pokémon, at least Caterpie and Magikarp are easy to catch, right?”

“It’s because I haven’t bought any Poké Balls yet! Besides, these Pokémon are too common; I don’t really like them.”

“Understood. Another person with high aspirations but low abilities.”

“This can only be said to be well-deserved.”

After the Water Friends in the live stream heard Zhang Yu’s introduction of Simisear, their interest in Simisear grew even stronger.

After all, a Pokémon like Simisear, which is naturally closer to humans, would be much easier to catch.

What’s more, Simisear is excellent in both strength and appearance, which made them even more tempted.

Their only concern now was the rarity of Simisear.

As for the problem of it being too strong and difficult to catch, they weren’t too worried. As long as they could encounter it, there would always be a way. Besides, at worst, they could just catch Simisear’s pre-evolutionary form.

“Oh? Reba actually caught a Vulpix too?”

Upon noticing the bullet comments in the live stream, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

He hadn’t expected Reba to be so lucky as to also catch a Vulpix. Although it wasn’t an Alola form, which was a bit of a shame, it was still very good.

Speaking of which, it seemed that not only Reba but also several other celebrities or internet celebrities were quite lucky, having caught rare Pokémon.

It seemed their luck was pretty good.

But thinking about it, it made sense. To stand out from countless people and become a big star and internet celebrity was itself proof of good luck.

If their luck had been even slightly worse, they wouldn’t have reached this point at all.

Moreover, compared to others, they could invest more time in Pokémon if they wanted to.

He knew that some celebrities and internet celebrities even started live streams while catching Pokémon. Although the number of viewers in their live streams wasn’t as high as his, most of them developed well, allowing them to earn a good income even while catching Pokémon.

Some even saw their popularity rise just by encountering rare Pokémon.

Chapter 252: Corphish (Seeking Subscription)

“Hmm?”

Just as Zhang Yu was thinking this, he suddenly heard a somewhat noisy sound coming from ahead. It sounded a bit like a group of Pokémon gathered together, arguing about something.

And it wasn't just him; Alolan Vulpix and Snivy clearly noticed this too, so they were all looking in that direction.

Noticing this, Zhang Yu immediately quickened his pace.

In just a moment, a large group of Pokémon appeared in front of him.

No, that wasn't quite accurate. Strictly speaking, it should be two groups of Pokémon mixed together.

They were Krabby, which Zhang Yu had seen before, and a group of Pokémon whose body color looked similar to Krabby but were not crabs. Instead, they looked like lobsters.

And it's worth mentioning that the reason these two groups of Pokémon were mixed together wasn't because they were arguing, as Zhang Yu had thought, but because they were already fighting.

“So, Corphish and Krabby are fighting?”

Upon seeing this situation, Zhang Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It really was a coincidence. The last time he saw Krabby, they were fighting Palossand, and this time they were fighting Corphish.

He hadn't known before that Krabby were so combative.

Or was there another reason behind this?

“Huh? Isn’t that the Krabby we saw before? Who are they fighting with again?”

“The word ‘again’ is well-used.”

“Isn’t it ‘again’? The last time we met, they were also fighting other Pokémon.”

“The Pokémon they’re fighting seem to be a group of large lobsters.”

“How did the ‘Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals’ start fighting?”

“‘Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals’ is quite something.”

“I think it should be a ‘Seafood Rumble’ instead.”

“No, why are you all getting more and more outrageous?”

“‘Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals’ is one thing, but how did ‘Seafood Rumble’ even come up… But you know what, it really does look like it.”

“Although they’re fighting, I don’t feel like they’re fighting very intensely, do they?”

“Yeah, they haven’t even used many moves.”

“Maybe it’s because both sides are relatively restrained?”

“That’s true. If they really fought too fiercely, who knows how many Pokémon would lose their ability to battle.”

“By the way, are they really fighting? Or are they just playing?”

“They should definitely be fighting. If they were just playing, they wouldn’t be using moves, would they?”

“Indeed, you can tell that from how Vulpix and Snivy play.”

“I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I always feel like I’ve seen those lobster Pokémon somewhere before?”

“You must be mistaken, right?”

“No, I think I really have seen them somewhere.”

“Now that you mention it, I seem to have the same feeling.”

“I remember! I once saw them in a river!”

“Hiss~ Really? Are you that lucky?”

As Zhang Yu saw Krabby and Corphish, the Water Friends in the live stream also saw them and what they were doing.

This immediately made the Water Friends in the live stream puzzled.

Why are these Krabby always fighting?

“I’m sure you all know Krabby, so I won’t say anything about them.”

“Now, let me introduce you to the Pokémon currently battling Krabby.”

“They are called Corphish, and they are pure Water-type Pokémon.”

“Corphish is a very hardy Pokémon. They can adapt to almost any environment, and their numbers will continue to increase even in very dirty rivers.”

“Due to their strong vitality, the number of Corphish is constantly increasing. Typically, the Pokémon found in murky, smelly ditches are probably Feebas and these guys.”

“Besides their strong vitality, Corphish are also not picky eaters; they can eat almost anything.”

“And they are extremely persistent; once food is in their claws, they will never let go, no matter what happens.”

“But don’t underestimate them just because their combat power isn’t strong. If you really think about it, their potential is quite good.”

“After evolving, they can also display very strong power.”

After a brief moment of thought, Zhang Yu began to introduce Corphish.

To be honest, Corphish is actually a very common Water-type Pokémon.

The reason he hadn't encountered them before was probably due to the geographical characteristics of the Unknown Land itself.

However, this was also inseparable from Corphish’s own habits.

If he remembered correctly, although Corphish are Water-type Pokémon, they don't actually appear much in the ocean or by the sea. Instead, they are more likely to be seen in freshwater areas.

And he hadn't really been to such places before, which explained why he hadn't encountered Corphish until now.

Chapter 253: Suspected Controlled Pokémon (Seeking Subscription)

“According to Anchor, Corphish seems to be quite common, right?”

“It seems so indeed.”

“I told you I saw them in the river, but you didn’t believe me! Now do you believe me?”

“It looks like this is a Pokémon with a large population and good potential.”

“What, are you tempted?”

“I am a bit tempted, after all, Pokémon like Corphish, which are both common and have good potential, are truly rare. More importantly, there’s a river in front of my house, so maybe I can find them there?”

“If you can really find them in the river, then that’s indeed a good choice.”

“I just tried it, and I did find some Corphish in the river!”

“Really? How are you so fast?”

“Because I was already fishing by the river, how could I not be fast?”

“Then you’re really lucky.”

“I just bought some Poké Balls, so I’m going to try by the nearby river now.”
