193: Section 193

“You guys, besides giving Ponyta healing abilities, color-changing mane, and the ability to sense evil thoughts, does life energy have any other abilities?”

“Probably not, right? Of course, it might also include the possibility of turning Charmander into a Psychic Pokémon.”

“More than that, what I’m more concerned about is, if Pokémon can absorb divine energy, can we humans absorb it too?”

“Are you suggesting you want to master Psychic powers by absorbing life energy?”

“Something like that, isn’t it a possibility?”

“I feel like that’s probably impossible, since we can’t even sense life energy.”

“Yes, and most importantly, among all the Pokémon we’ve seen, only Ponyta has absorbed life energy. In other words, even among Pokémon, only a few can do such a thing, let alone us humans.”

“That’s true, how can it be so easy to do such a thing?”

“While we humans certainly can’t do it on our own, what if we rely on the power of Pokémon or the power of technology to assist us?”

“That’s unclear, but these are obviously not things that can be done in a short time.”

“Yes, since we humans haven’t discovered something like life energy for so many years, it means we can’t count on technology for now. As for Pokémon, it’s probably not very likely either, right?”

“Instead of discussing all that nonsense, why don’t you think about where you can find Galarian Ponyta? That’s a Psychic Pokémon!”

“Don’t even think about it. Currently, only the Unknown Land where Anchor is located has Galarian Ponyta. Other places simply don’t.”

“Not necessarily. Maybe we just haven’t discovered them yet? And as more and more Unknown Lands appear on Blue Star, sooner or later, another Unknown Land belonging to the Galar region will appear.”

“That’s true, but who knows when that will be.”

The Water Friends, who were already very interested in Galarian Ponyta, became even more interested after hearing Zhang Yu’s introduction of it.

As for the reason, it was mainly due to life energy.

After all, from the current situation, the reason why Galarian Ponyta can master those special abilities is closely related to life energy.

This inevitably made them have some other thoughts.

If humans could also absorb life energy, would they also gain some special abilities?

And the more they thought about it, the more they felt that this matter might succeed.

What made them feel very disheartened, however, was that while it might succeed, it was not something that could be achieved in a short time.

What they didn’t know was that, besides them, the ordinary people, some Da Da were also eyeing this life energy.

However, they were not that interested in the special abilities that life energy might bring.

What they were truly interested in was another ability that life energy might possess—extending lifespan!

So, for a time, many people began to take action.

Zhang Yu was temporarily unaware of what was happening in other places.

His attention was currently focused on the Galarian Ponyta.

After the first Galarian Ponyta ate Alcremie’s cream and showed a very enjoyable expression, the other Galarian Ponyta also gradually couldn’t hold back their curiosity and were gradually attracted.

And Alcremie was very generous, giving each one a large dollop.

“Woo~”

“Snivy~”

“Ang~”

“Eevee~”

Of course, Alolan Vulpix, Snivy, little Lugia, and others who followed these Galarian Ponyta to ask for food, as well as Eevee, who was injured, also got their share.

Especially Alolan Vulpix and Eevee, these two little guys, because they had too much fur, Zhang Yu just wasn’t paying attention for a moment, and they ended up with cream all over their faces.

Fortunately, Alcremie had been eating her fill after following Zhang Yu, so she had plenty of energy in her body.

Otherwise, if it were before, after making so much cream at once, she might have directly consumed most of her internal energy.

Unlike now, she was still full of vitality.

While these Galarian Ponyta were eating cream, Zhang Yu also indulged himself, giving them a good rub.

Chapter 266 Grubbin (Please subscribe)

After Zhang Yu had a good time rubbing, and rested for a while, and finished lunch, he continued on his journey.

However, this time, he temporarily changed his route and turned towards the forest.

His intuition told him that he might encounter some special Pokémon in this forest.

After Zhang Yu and his Pokémon advanced a certain distance into the forest, they encountered a Pokémon behind a bush that was white in body but had large orange and yellow alternating jaws on its head, resembling a stag beetle.

With just one glance, Zhang Yu recognized its identity—Grubbin!

At the same time, Zhang Yu also noticed that around this Grubbin, there were many small holes.

And through his Aura Power, he could clearly sense that there were also Grubbin present in those holes.

It seemed that a small colony of Grubbin had gathered here.

“From Anchor’s expression, the Ponyta’s mane must feel great to touch, right?”

“Damn it, I want to go rub it too!”

“That depends on your own ability and luck, whether you can encounter Ponyta and catch them.”

“Sigh, how can such a thing be so easy?”

“Who says it isn’t?”

“Whether it works or not, you have to try to find out.”

“Look at the forum! Someone posted a photo of it with a normal Ponyta!”

“Really? No way? Someone encountered Ponyta so quickly? That speed is a bit too fast, isn’t it?”

“I also saw that post. According to the poster, he and that Ponyta have actually known each other for a while. This time, he just happened to see Anchor’s live broadcast, so he posted it.”

“My goodness! His luck is too good, isn’t it?”

“Sigh, if only I could have such good luck.”

“Then you should go wash up and go to sleep. You’ll have everything in your dreams.”

“Huh? Look, has Anchor discovered a Pokémon again?”

“It really seems so.”

“What a pity, it’s just a Bug-type Pokémon. If only it were a Psychic Pokémon.”

“How can Psychic Pokémon be so easy to encounter?”

“Yes, and don’t look down on Bug-type Pokémon, okay? There are also very powerful Bug-type Pokémon out there!”

“Perhaps what you said has some truth, but you cannot deny that most Bug-type Pokémon are relatively weak.”

“Compared to strength, I’m actually more concerned about appearance, after all, strength can be obtained through acquired training, but appearance, that mainly depends on innate factors.”

“The first country to disagree with your statement is the one that loves plastic surgery.”

“Isn’t it disagreement? Those so-called handsome men and beautiful women over there, hardly any of them haven’t had a knife on their faces.”

Many Water Friends expressed great envy that Zhang Yu could rub the Galarian Ponyta to his heart’s content.

However, they quickly shifted their attention because they saw some other news.

Immediately, they also noticed the presence of Grubbin.

Although many people were not very interested in Grubbin because it was a Bug-type Pokémon, there were also some who didn’t care about this point and were still quite curious about it.

“This Pokémon is called Grubbin, and it is a pure Bug-type Pokémon.”

“Grubbin’s large jaws are very powerful. It uses its huge jaws to dig in the forest and create nests. They mostly live underground.”

“Look at these holes in the ground, those are the nests of these Grubbin.”

“Although Grubbin is not an Electric Pokémon, it is extremely fond of electricity, so sometimes they can also be found in places like power plants and substations.”

“To avoid being attacked by bird Pokémon, and because some Pokémon might accidentally dig them out of the ground, as well as their inherent love for electricity, they often gather in places where Electric-type Pokémon live.”

“Grubbin’s favorite food is sweet tree sap. They use their sturdy jaws to shave trees and absorb the tree’s sap.”

“Its jaws have the power to break thick branches, and even some bird Pokémon will choose to flee rather than face its jaw attack.”

“Besides that, Grubbin also spits out sticky threads to restrain the opponent’s movement, then clamps them with its sharp and sturdy jaws, delivering a fatal blow.”

“Of course, its powerful jaws and the threads it spits out are not only useful in battle, but also provide considerable Helping Hand to Grubbin in its daily life.”

“For example, when digging holes and moving on the ground, and it can spit out sticky threads from its mouth, using these threads to wrap around branches and swing its body to move lightly between trees, performing actions like wire work.”

“It is worth mentioning that Grubbin is the pre-evolutionary form of Charjabug.”

“This might also be why it likes electricity so much.”

Zhang Yu was quite interested in Grubbin, so when introducing them, he spoke in particular detail.
