40: Section 40

It was precisely at this moment that they learned the name of that Pokémon from Zhang Yu—Entei, which made their curiosity grow even stronger.

They urgently wanted to know what kind of Pokémon Entei truly was.

“Entei, huh…”

“This is a very special, mystical Pokémon.”

Zhang Yu was not surprised by the current situation in the live broadcast room, so after a brief moment of thought, he slowly began to speak about Entei.

“Perhaps some of you are asking, aren’t all Pokémon very mystical and special creatures?”

“The reason I say that is because Entei is an extremely special existence even among Pokémon, with clear differences from ordinary Pokémon.”

“Entei is a Fire-type Pokémon, and it is one of the rare ones that do not evolve; it is in its final form from birth.”

“As for how this Pokémon came into existence, that remains unknown.”

“There are two theories regarding Entei’s birth; one of them is that it was born from a volcanic eruption.”

“The reason for this theory is that Entei can unleash flames hotter than magma, capable of burning everything to ash!”

“In legends, Entei’s body contains the passion of lava, and it possesses an utterly uncontrollable, powerful force within it, which causes it to constantly run across the land.”

“Furthermore, there is a legend that every Roar of Entei signifies a volcanic eruption somewhere in the world.”

“Another theory is that Entei can freely control volcanic eruptions.”

Unlike before, Zhang Yu’s expression became noticeably serious when introducing Entei, and his speaking pace also slowed down considerably.

After all, this was the first Legendary creature he was introducing, so he needed to pay particular attention to the details when describing it.

He couldn’t let anyone underestimate Entei.

[Every Roar of Entei signifies a volcanic eruption somewhere in the world? Isn’t that a bit too fantastical?]

[Compared to that theory, I find the first one more plausible, but controlling volcanic eruptions? Is that really possible?]

[Yeah, isn’t that a bit too outrageous?]

[Although it does sound quite outrageous, it might actually be true, because if you look, among the patterns recorded on that stone slab, isn't there a pattern that looks very much like a volcanic eruption?]

[Now that you mention it, it does seem to be the case.]

[Could it be that the power of Pokémon can truly be that strong?]

[If what Anchor says is true, then doesn't that mean Entei very likely possesses the power to destroy a city?]

[Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?]

[If Entei can truly control volcanic eruptions, then it undoubtedly possesses such power. Setting aside everything else, just imagine the devastation caused by the eruption of Japan's Mount Fuji, and you'll understand Entei's terror.]

[How much damage can Mount Fuji’s eruption cause? I don’t believe it, unless it really makes Mount Fuji erupt and show us.]

[Upstairs, isn’t your scheming a bit too obvious? But I think what you said is quite good, after all, seeing is believing.]

[Strange, have you noticed that Anchor repeatedly mentioned the word 'legend' when introducing Entei? This is something he hasn't done before. Could there be some deeper meaning to this?]

[This point does seem a little strange.]

Upon hearing Zhang Yu’s description of Entei, many people were startled.

After all, according to this description, Entei’s strength seemed far too great, didn’t it?

They had originally thought Venusaur and Gyarados were strong enough, but it seemed Entei’s strength was far superior to theirs.

And compared to Venusaur and Gyarados, who need to evolve to gradually become stronger, Entei seemed to have been born at the peak, and seemingly with a generational gap in power.

This made them even more unable to comprehend.

Although they really wanted to deny such a thing, both Zhang Yu’s words and the content recorded on the stone slab seemed to prove that Entei was indeed such a powerful Pokémon.

(Ding! Congratulations on successfully popularizing the Pokémon: Entei! You have gained Popularization Points: 1, Influence: 1!)

(Ding! Congratulations on successfully popularizing the Pokémon: Entei! You have gained Popularization Points: 1, Influence: 1!)

(Ding! Congratulations on successfully popularizing the Pokémon: Entei! You have gained Influence: 1!)

(Ding! Congratulations on successfully popularizing the Pokémon: Entei! You have gained Popularization Points: 1, Influence: 1!)

Perhaps because the content Zhang Yu spoke of this time was too unimaginable, his efficiency in acquiring Popularization Points once again experienced a slight fluctuation.

However, Zhang Yu did not take this to heart, as it was already within his expectations.

“Oh? It seems some Water Friends have already noticed.”

“The reason I repeatedly mentioned the word ‘legend’ when introducing Entei is because Entei is a Legendary creature, an existence far more powerful and mystical than ordinary Pokémon.”

“These types of Pokémon are like Entei, Pokémon that have appeared in myths and legends.”

“To put it in simpler terms, they are divine beasts, beings among Pokémon that are like gods.”

“Existences like them are usually extremely powerful, possessing the terrifying strength to destroy a city with their own power alone. They are truly at the pinnacle of Pokémon, with a huge gap between them and ordinary Pokémon.”

“This gap is not only reflected in strength but also in life level. Although the lifespan of ordinary Pokémon is mostly longer than that of humans, it is not excessively absurd, but Legendary creatures are different; their lifespan is almost limitless.”

“However, differences in life level are not entirely good. At the very least, their numbers are usually extremely scarce; in fact, there might only be one of some Legendary creatures in the entire world.”

When he finished speaking, Zhang Yu still felt a sense of regret.

If there were more Legendary creatures and Illusionary Pokemon, wouldn’t he have a greater chance of encountering them?

[Anchor, are you serious? Are those things you mentioned really what Pokémon can do?]

[Yes, being able to destroy a city by oneself is just too exaggerated, isn’t it?]

[Anchor couldn't be joking, could he? It's impossible for there to really be gods in this world, right?]

[That depends on what you understand by 'god.' If you believe omniscience and omnipotence are what define a god, then naturally there are none. But if reaching a certain level of power is enough to be called a god, then perhaps they really do exist.]

[Indeed, take Entei for example. As I said before, if it can truly control volcanic eruptions, then it undoubtedly possesses the power to destroy a city by itself. There's no doubt about that.]

[And since other Pokémon can also appear in myths and legends like Entei, then their power must not be weak either. Perhaps they really can do what Anchor said.]

[I originally thought that Pokémon like Entei were isolated cases, but from the current situation, it seems that is not the case?]

[Yes, since Anchor classifies them as Legendary creatures, it means that such Pokémon are definitely not just one or two; there is a certain number of them, otherwise the classification would lose its meaning.]

[Compared to the power issue, I am more concerned about Anchor's statement that the lifespan of Legendary creatures is almost limitless. Is such a thing really possible?]

[That's hard to say, but for creatures with such immense power, their body structure and composition are probably quite different from ordinary creatures, and even ordinary Pokémon, right? After all, in a sense, they are completely walking peace weapons.]

[Am I the only one who thinks they seem quite lonely? After all, Anchor also said that these Pokémon have almost no counterparts. In the long span of time, it must be difficult for them to even find companions to be with, right?]

[That’s a very novel point of view, and now that you mention it, it does seem to be the case.]

The Water Friends, who were already very surprised by Entei’s strength, couldn’t help but be stunned after hearing Zhang Yu’s later words.

Goodness, there actually exist Legendary creatures, a special existence that is completely not on the same level as ordinary Pokémon?

This also made them once again sigh in their hearts at the kindness of Pokémon. If Legendary creatures were to intervene, it's hard to say whether the battle between humans and Pokémon would end, but the casualties would certainly become extremely severe.

In such a situation, it would be difficult to say what the final outcome would be.

“Oh? Lonely?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Although the individual numbers of Legendary creatures are indeed very small, there is also a certain connection between Legendary creatures, which makes their relationships even potentially surpass those with their own kind.”

“For example, Entei has a very good relationship with Pokémon named Suicune and Raikou.”

After noticing some of the bullet comments in the live broadcast room, Zhang Yu raised an eyebrow, then spoke, revealing the existence of two other Pokémon.

“Among them, Suicune is a Water-type Legendary creature whose body contains the gentleness of spring water. It always seeks out places where clear water flows.”

“In legends, whenever it appears, it is always accompanied by mist and the north wind, and thus it is known as the embodiment of the north wind.”

“Suicune is a Pokémon with many mysteries, just like Entei. Its most talked-about aspect is its miraculous power to instantly purify polluted water.”

“As for Raikou, it is an Electric Legendary creature that, in legends, always descends with lightning.”

“Its two most prominent characteristics are its lightning-like speed and its ability to control lightning.”

“And these three Legendary creatures together are collectively known as the Three Legendary Beasts.”

“In legends, they are always tirelessly running across the land, as if they have some mission that they must fulfill.”

Compared to Entei, Zhang Yu’s introduction of Suicune and Raikou was much briefer.

The reason for doing this was that he knew that if he revealed too much about Legendary creatures at once, the Water Friends would find it difficult to digest.

After all, they had just been introduced to the concept of Legendary creatures and didn't really understand many things.

If, in such a situation, he were to tell them that the Three Legendary Beasts, which they already considered very powerful, were actually among the weakest Legendary creatures in terms of strength, who knows what they would think?

It was precisely because he considered these issues that Zhang Yu did not introduce Suicune and Raikou in too much detail.

At the very least, he would wait until they had digested the current information before considering whether to introduce them to other Legendary creatures.

However, when the next suitable opportunity would be, that remained unknown.

If he hadn't coincidentally encountered the stone slab that recorded the legend of Entei this time, he certainly wouldn't have introduced Legendary creatures to the Water Friends now.

For them, it was still a bit too early.
