Chapter 358 The Gift of the Crystal Flower, an Entire Crystal Mine! About the Crystallization and Types of Pokémon!
So even you, the streamer, didn't know?!
Isn't this the same as saying nothing at all?
"I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush. There are some things recorded in ancient books."
Ye Yinchuan smiled faintly and continued,
"The reason why Pokémon can crystallize is not only because they have the potential to do so, but also because of a special crystallizing energy. This energy appears in the form of crystals, which are called crystal ore in ancient texts. According to the ancient texts, this crystal ore can only be found in the Padilla region, but we never expected to see it in front of us now."
In addition, on the heads of Pokémon that have undergone crystallization, there will also be something of the same substance as crystal ore, but after being refined by the Pokémon, it will become purer. I am more inclined to call it crystal gem.
The formation process of Crystal Ore is currently unknown, but it is certain to be related to Pokémon energy, as Crystal Ore also has an attribute, and it is basically consistent with the attribute of Pokémon energy... The attribute of Crystal Ore, and the attribute gained by a Pokémon after Crystallization, is called the Crystallization attribute.
At this point, Ye Yinchuan seemed to remember something.
In fact, in the original Pokémon setting, Crystal has a nineteenth type in addition to the eighteen basic types, which is called Crystal.
However, Crystal can only be the type of Crystal, and no Pokémon possesses this type.
After a brief pause, Ye Yinchuan chose to leave it at that for the time being, because the concepts of crystallization and crystal attributes, as well as a series of related concepts, were quite complex and even somewhat abstract for these viewers.
If we were to elaborate further, some viewers might get dizzy from listening.
[Wait a minute, Crystal type... Could it be that the effect of Crystallize Pokémon is to give the Pokémon the Crystal type?!]
"clever!"
Upon seeing this comment, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.
"Although crystallization and crystallized Pokémon are shrouded in many mysteries, and there's still no chance to unravel them, the ancients already determined one thing: crystallized Pokémon, in addition to their original type, can acquire a second, or even a third, type through crystallization!"
What?! Pokémon can gain extra stats? I've never heard of such a thing before!
[Host, please clarify! Are you referring to changing an attribute or increasing an attribute? This is very important!]
After glancing at the comments, Ye Yinchuan's expression became somewhat subtle.
From the perspective of the original Pokémon setting, Crystallization should be an alteration of the Pokémon's original attributes.
However, in reality, there seem to be some differences.
"I can't say for sure. Although I've seen information about crystallization in ancient books, that information isn't complete. But I can get more information by observing this Crystal Sandshrew. At least for now, the crystallization state seems relatively stable..."
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan reached out to touch the Taijing Pangolin.
"You can feel a slight tingling current, which is obviously an electrical attribute. And you can see that the crystal gem on its head looks like a big light bulb, and you can also see the lightning loan symbol inside... Without a doubt, this crystal pangolin's crystal attribute is electric."
As for whether the highly crystalline state is permanent or temporary, and whether it changes or increases attributes, we'll observe that gradually.
[I've already followed the streamer. Please let me know as soon as there's anything new, either by going live or posting a video!]
[Awesome! If this is an attribute boost, then this Sandshrew is invincible... Ground-types aren't that afraid of Electric-types to begin with, and now with a crystallized Electric attribute, who can stop it?]
[Upstairs, aren't you being too superficial? Adding a new attribute could also mean adding a new weakness...]
[Absolutely impossible! It's impossible for a Pokémon to possess both Electric and Ground types simultaneously. That's too abstract!]
Ye Yinchuan thought about it carefully and realized that there really wasn't a Pokémon with both Electric and Ground types. The level of abstraction of this kind of thing was no less than that of Pokémon with both Water and Fire types.
[The streamer just mentioned that the source of the crystallization power isn't within the Pokémon's body, but rather from crystal ore. Are there crystal ore nearby? Is it possible for other Pokémon to crystallize as well?]
Seeing the comments, Ye Yinchuan nodded:
"I think there are probably some around here. I even suspected for a time that the reason there are so many crystals in Crystal Forest and Crystal Tide City might also be due to the influence of the crystallization energy!"
That explains it! Indeed, everything unusual has a source and basis; we should trust science!
Haha, weren't we used to think of Pokémon as monsters back then? We can only thank our predecessors for paving the way for us!
While chatting with the viewers in the live stream, Ye Yinchuan kept walking, following Jingguanghua forward.
At this moment, the crystal flower finally stopped, and Ye Yinchuan also saw the end of the cave in front of him, with a large amount of crystals!
Ye Yinchuan paused for a moment, then took out his phone and began to report:
"Hello, is this the Pokémon Center? There's a lot of Phantasmal Ore here... Oh, you're asking what Phantasmal Ore is? You can check out my live stream replay. Yes, I'm Ye Yinchuan, the Ho-Oh spokesperson."
[Hilarious! The streamer marked a resource point here!]
[So this is what they call Prism Ore? It doesn't look much different from regular crystals... but if it can make Pokémon Prism, this is definitely a top-tier resource!]
Honestly, if the streamer hadn't pointed it out, who would recognize these crystal ores?
Ye Yinchuan was certain that these crystals were Taijing ore because, as he approached, the energy on the Taijing pangolin became noticeably more abundant and dazzling.
Looking at its status, the phrase "full of energy" is clearly visible, while other Pokémon, except for Glitterbloom, do not show similar changes.
"So, it seems that the Pokémon Crystal Blossom really does have some kind of connection with Crystal Ore... Perhaps they both have crystalline structures, which is why they can resonate with each other?"
Ye Yinchuan looked at the crystal flower:
"This is the gift you're giving me?"
The crystal flower's eyes blinked, and its suspended body moved up and down, making a nodding motion.
This kind of crystal ore is very helpful to them, so in Crystal Flower's opinion, it is an absolutely good thing.
Is this considered a gift? This isn't something that grows in the ground, is it?
[Without the Crystal Flower to guide the way, the streamer would never find this place in his entire life. Doesn't that count as a gift?]
[But the streamer just reported it, isn't it going to be handed over to the Pokémon Center?]
[You clearly don't understand how the Pokémon Center operates. For resources of this level, the Pokémon Center will at most protect them or restrict trainers from mining them; they're not going to mine them all...]
[Yes, and as the first discoverer, the streamer will not only receive a large number of exploration points, but also other rewards, including a substantial share of these Taijing ores!]
"Without mining qualifications, such a large area of rare ore cannot be mined in large quantities. Reporting it would be the most beneficial option for me... Of course, if I can consume some now, I'll use as much as I can, all within the permitted range."
Ye Yinchuan keeps in mind the trainer's code of conduct, and as a public figure, he has always abided by the law.
[Okay! Does this mean the streamer is going to perform a live demonstration of their Pokémon becoming crystallized?]
[This kid only mentioned crystallization, but didn't seem to explain the method. He's probably hiding something!]
Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan shrugged.
"Regarding the method of crystallization, or rather, how to make a Pokémon crystallize, there are records in ancient books. It's actually quite simple..."
For Rock-type Pokémon, or those capable of digesting Prism Ore, simply eating it is sufficient. Other Pokémon, however, can only absorb its energy. If their energy control is strong enough, they can absorb it directly; otherwise, they must approach the Prism Ore and allow their bodies to absorb it naturally and instinctively…
In short, once a Pokémon absorbs enough terrine energy, it has the opportunity to undergo terrine transformation and enter its terrine form...
Of course, there's a premise here: the concept of crystallization in Pokémons has potential. Not all Pokémon can definitely crystallize, or rather, the speed of crystallization varies greatly between individuals.
[That's interesting. The streamer seems to have quite a few Rock-type Pokémon, right?]
[Kadora, Sableye, Sunrock... you can probably just eat these raw while holding a Prism Ore!]
Seeing the audience's anticipation for his creation of a Taijing Pokémon, Ye Yinchuan smiled with slight regret:
"Pokémon crystallization isn't as easy as you think. If the dosage of crystal ore ingested isn't controlled properly, it can lead to poisoning at best, and even death by explosion at worst!"
[Wow, really? Streamer, you're not kidding me!]
[That's true, how could such a powerful modification be without any risk?]
Therefore, for ordinary people, absorbing knowledge gradually is the best approach!
Actually, all of the above was made up by Ye Yinchuan himself. He was very certain that anything in excess of the dosage would definitely produce side effects.
On the other hand, it also aims to instill a sense of awe in the public regarding terrestrial crystals, otherwise it could lead to unforeseen consequences. Although the terrestrial crystallization has been exposed, most people still don't have the opportunity to come into contact with it.
"Then, let my Pokémon try to see if it can achieve crystallization?"
Ye Yinchuan was ready to take action.
[Host, I have a question for you. It's unclear what the properties of these crystal ores are, is that correct?]
Is a Pokémon's Crystal type determined by its own inherent properties, or by the Crystal energy it absorbs?
"Good question."
Ye Yinchuan instructed Kedora, Soul Hook, and Sun Rock to try to contact the Taijing ore, and reminded them to be careful and not to rush things.
Then, in response to the questions raised in the live chat:
"Well... my method of judging these Taijing ores is by observing the state of this pangolin. The ancient books only mention that Taijing ores are crystals containing special energy, but they don't say what their specific form is, so I can't say for sure about this issue."
Perhaps this kind of crystal ore with no discernible attribute is actually a common type, while other types of crystal ore might clearly show their attribute tendencies.
Ye Yinchuan's answer was quite cautious; this time he didn't make things up.
In the original Pokémon games, the type of Primal should be visible from its appearance, as can be seen from the Primal Pokémon in the Primal Pit and the exposed Primal around it.
"As for a Pokémon's Crystal type, it is determined by both the Pokémon itself and the Crystal energy it absorbs. According to ancient texts, a Pokémon's Crystal type when it first awakens is very likely its inherent Crystal type tendency. Some Pokémon can change their Crystal type by absorbing Crystal energy of a certain type later, while others cannot."
Isn't this the same as saying nothing at all? To put it bluntly, it's completely unpredictable.
[I'm reminded of a concept the streamer mentioned: everyone is different. Every Pokémon has its own unique characteristics and circumstances, so you can't generalize.]
"Is this all the same as saying nothing at all? Well, to put it bluntly, I wasted my breath."
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but complain.
At this moment, the three Pokémon he sent out had all approached the Crystal Mine and were making contact in different ways.
First is Adolphin. Its temperament is reserved and calm. Although it is large, its movements and eyes give people a restrained and obedient feeling. Because of the water mithril, the steel on its body reveals the texture of silver water waves. Although it is not a shiny shiny, it is rarer than a shiny shiny, and it is a rare one created later!
After approaching the Taijing ore, Kodora first sniffed it, sensing the abundant Taijing energy within. A slight look of surprise appeared in its eyes. It looked around before cautiously trying to bite off a piece and slowly chewing it...
[Kodora's eating manners seem a bit too refined, which doesn't suit her image and temperament!]
Secondly, there's the alluring eye.
When the Soul-Hooking Eyes saw these Tai Crystal mines, it was already drooling with desire. With a grin and longing in its eyes, it jumped three feet high after receiving Ye Yinchuan's order. It came to the edge of the Tai Crystal mine, used all its strength to break off a piece, put it in its mouth, and began to chew it with its sharp teeth.
[Look how much Soul-Stealing Eyes is enjoying it...it looks so crispy!]
Then, there's Sun Rock.
Sun Rock remained expressionless, but when Ye Yinchuan sent it out again and it saw the Taijing ore, its eyes flickered slightly. Clearly, the Taijing ore held considerable appeal for it.
Just as Ye Yinchuan had predicted, the Sun Rock didn't need to bite into the Taijing ore; instead, it absorbed energy. It aimed at a piece of Taijing ore, and the energy within it flowed into its body like a thread...
As the three Pokémon slowly nibbled at the crystal ore, Ye Yinchuan focused his attention on observing their stats and status.
In this world, letting Pokémon ingest crystal ore and attempt crystallization is something he has absolutely no experience with!
The nervousness and excitement of trying it for the first time are inevitable.
To Ye Yinchuan's surprise, among the three Pokémon, it was the one with the slowest and most leisurely eating habits, Cindera, that first showed signs of change...
The energy of the crystal seemed to activate some potential within it, causing a violent and rapid reaction!
