Chapter 240 Rowlet evolves into Roach! The most visually appealing individual! About naming and designing Pokémon!
Watching the last figure of the shuttlecock, Ye Yinchuan seemed to imagine the moment it withered away completely in the darkness and cold.
"Hey streamer, look at this."
The person on the other end of the line came to his senses and found a cotton seed on the ground. It was purplish-brown on the bottom and covered with white downy hairs, shimmering in the darkness.
"These are... Jumpluff seeds, and they're the type with a very high survival rate. If you can put them in the soil and provide them with enough water and sunlight, they have a chance to develop into a Pokémon egg and then hatch into Jumpluff!"
[Hmm? Excuse me, host, what's the difference between the cotton spores of shuttlecock cotton and these seeds?]
Uh... so that's how shuttlecock cotton reproduces?
This is probably a gift from the shuttlecock to thank him!
Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan responded:
"The cotton spores scattered by the shuttlecock plant fall into the soil and may develop into shuttlecock grass eggs. Seeds, on the other hand, are more mature cotton spores that are easier to survive. Each shuttlecock plant can produce a limited number of seeds in its lifetime, but the number of cotton spores is much greater."
So, the seeds are actually cotton spores, only more powerful ones?
I never thought of that before; I assumed these Grass-type Pokémon were grown directly.
[Upstairs, think about it, where do the eggs of the shuttlecock grass come from?]
Ye Yinchuan suddenly thought of the dandelion plant.
Most people probably think of dandelions as a fluffy ball that disperses when you blow on it.
But in reality, the dandelion's growth stage involves leaves resembling those of a shuttlecock and yellow flowers resembling those of a shuttlecock...
The three stages of shuttlecock cotton production should actually serve as a reference in terms of design, using plants such as dandelions.
"So, that shuttlecock left its most valued and precious offspring to me..."
The person on the other end of the line looked at the seeds in his hand, still somewhat incredulous.
"Well, it probably sensed your kindness and friendliness towards Pokémon. Anyway, if you have the means, you can raise it... If that's not possible, you can also contact me to help this seed find a good home."
[Perhaps the streamer noticed the quality of the cotton used for the shuttlecock and took a liking to this type of seed.]
[It's like sitting at home and Pokémon just pop up in your face!]
[It's a case of good deeds being rewarded, since not everyone is kind to a wild Pokémon that suddenly wanders into their home, let alone feeds it.]
After glancing at the comments, Ye Yinchuan didn't say anything more.
The person in the video said that he had been longing for this seed of shuttlecock cotton, so he would cherish it and cultivate it.
Hearing this, Ye Yinchuan felt relieved.
After all, the first Pokémon the other person raised was a Grass-type, so they weren't completely inexperienced in raising Jumpluff.
Ye Yinchuan concluded the video call with gifts and expressions of gratitude.
Just as he was preparing to find the next contact, Bai Zhi's voice rang out:
"Chuan, look at Rowlet! The light of its evolution is getting stronger!"
Ye Yinchuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the evolutionary light on Mumu Xiao's body was growing stronger at a visible speed, enveloping its small body. The leap in life level had truly begun.
"This moment has finally arrived!"
Ye Yinchuan pointed the live stream camera at Woody Owl.
"Better late than early! Let's all witness the evolution of my Rowlet!"
Seemingly noticing the changes in Rowlet, the other Pokémon in the house also gathered around.
Although we're moving away soon and the house will be empty, everyone is here, so it feels full of happiness and warmth.
[I'm reminded of a classic story about how much money can fill a room, but looking at the streamer's home, I think I know the answer: if you have love, you don't need a lot of money to easily fill a room!]
[No, no, no, you can't watch Rowlet evolve! Quick, hold it down!]
[Wait, is the streamer's Rowlet leveling up this fast? It felt like it just hatched a while ago! Did he spend all his time training Pokémon after the stream ended?]
Regardless of what the audience says, or how complicated Ye Yinchuan's feelings are about Rowlet's evolution, the evolution has begun!
A dazzling light flashed, and Rowlet's figure changed, becoming noticeably taller, its entire appearance undergoing a dramatic transformation...
Its original shape, which resembled a glutinous rice ball, was noticeably elongated, with wings and legs also growing.
As the light gradually stabilized, Rowlet had taken on a completely new form—
A noticeable tuft of hair resembling blades of grass protruded from its head, while the feathers around its neck still gave it a scarf-like appearance, like two green leaves joined together in a bow tie...
Behind it, you can see two green feathers, designed like a tuxedo, while at the junction of the wings and the body, there are beautiful patterns of red, green and gold feathers pieced together.
Rowlet's evolved form gives the impression of wearing a luxurious evening gown.
Ye Yinchuan's Rowlet, although evolved into a Winged Owl, felt quite different from a regular Rowlet due to its shimmering color. Its green feathers had an emerald-like luster, and its feathers, which should have been dark brown, were a dazzling gold...
This makes the owl's posture more magnificent and elegant.
Besides, while a typical Rowlet has squinty eyes and small pupils, Ye Yinchuan's Rowlet looks like it's been filtered with a beauty filter. Although it still has squinty eyes, its eyes are very large and its eyelashes are very long, completely lacking that greasy look.
Even her hair, which should have been slightly oily, was exceptionally clean, much like the texture of Shin-chan's fur, with a refreshing and fluffy feel...
"Wow! This kid, even after evolving into a Feathered Owl, is so beautiful?"
Bai Zhi couldn't help but let out a surprised exclamation.
The live chat erupted in a frenzy of activity—
[Dude, is this still a Touhou? Where's that greasy, slightly sleazy vibe? Didn't you say all Rowlete evolved into Touhou by trading their looks for power?]
[I can't accept this! Why does my Feathered Owl look like a thief, while yours looks like a noblewoman disguised as a man? Huh?]
[I never knew a Feathered Owl could be this good-looking! I can't imagine how cool this one would be if it evolved into its final form!]
[Does the streamer have any special methods for raising Rowlet? I'm begging you! The reason I didn't choose Rowlet is because I think its evolution is too ugly!]
Seeing the intense reactions in the comments, Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated. He hadn't expected so many people to be so focused on looks.
This damn world is all about looks!
But he had to admit that the evolved form of his shiny Shiny Rowlet was indeed a pleasant surprise...
Just like Bai Zhi and the comments said, no one expected that a winged owl could have such good looks.
It can be said that Ye Yinchuan's owl perfectly avoided all the aesthetic flaws of ordinary owls, and amplified all its advantages...
This somewhat aligns with a popular online complaint: according to Chinese mythology, everyone was created by Nuwa, so why are others' creations so exquisite and beautiful, like graduation projects... while mine feel like something Nuwa casually tossed out with mud splatters!
"Coo coo?"
The owl surveyed its new appearance, then looked at Ye Yinchuan and tilted its head.
She remains the same innocent, beautiful, and adorable Winged Owl, and her personality hasn't changed much despite evolution.
"Not bad, not bad, from now on you'll be Yu Xiao."
[The streamer is so perfunctory! Couldn't they have come up with a proper name?]
Ye Yinchuan was unimpressed by the complaints in the live chat.
He personally prefers to use full names, like Snorlax, at most he'll just call himself "Snorlax", and Litten, mainly because his name was originally Sangbiao, so he doesn't need to come up with any other names.
On the one hand, it's because many Pokémon are in their initial stage. After evolving, their form and even their personality will change, so it's not easy to come up with a suitable name. You can't just evolve them and then change their names, can you?
On the other hand, take Milotic for example. Its original name is already hard to remember. If you give it another name like Mei or something else, it will be even harder to remember.
Some trainers will make a small change to the original name of a Pokémon.
For example, changing Milotic's name to something like Melis, but Ye Yinchuan felt it was unnecessary.
He will only consider giving Pokémon special names if there are duplicate Pokémon or if there are particularly good or suitable names.
But if, if he absolutely had to give the Feathered Owl a name, Ye Yinchuan might name it something like "Golden Jade"...
Because the feathers of the owl are green like jade and golden like gold, the name "Jinyu" (金玉) is quite in line with Chinese aesthetics... Jadeite (翡玉) and similar names are also acceptable.
Of course, naming conventions like that of Munchlax, such as calling it "Little Owl," might become popular if they are easy to pronounce.
If we're going to name them, we should treat everyone the same.
Milotic is called "Little Milotic"? And Cocoa is called "Little Cocoa" or "Cocoa"?
Ye Yinchuan is like the kind of player who enters a game and always uses the default game name; there's no need for him to change his name.
Take the Pokémon game as an example. When you catch a Pokémon, you can give it a name or simply use the original name. It's all up to you!
[Host, what major changes will occur after Rowlet evolves into Roach?]
When faced with questions from the live chat, Ye Yinchuan answered as usual:
"Leaving aside the changes in appearance, the increase in base stats is inevitable. As for abilities and moves, although there are no obvious changes, it is worth noting that their effects will be significantly improved... This is because the form of the Touhou is more mature and suited to battle."
Thank you, host, but it feels like what you said was pointless.
Seeing such comments, Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow and immediately ordered Touyuxiao to cooperate with him.
He spread the wings of the feathered owl, pointing to the part of the wings near its body, where reddish-gold feathers were mixed in:
A flawless version after careful inspection!
"Here, a typical owl should be orange-red, but my owl has a special shimmering color, so it's reddish-gold. That's what makes the owl special. These feathers are as sharp as blades, and they are the owl's most powerful weapon."
"Whether it's 'Leaf Blade' or 'Rapid Leaf Blade,' the power is multiplied when used with these feathers! By the way, because my Eevee is a Shiny, its body is blessed and strengthened by Pokémon energy, making it stronger than a regular Eevee."
[Isn't this the natal magic weapon that demons in cultivation novels nurture with their bodies?]
That's amazing...
[The host's comment is a bit like Versailles! I'm envious!]
At this moment, the Winged Owl was preening its feathers, and through the live stream, it seemed to see its evolved form. It looked a little sullen, as if it was not satisfied with its appearance.
"Coo coo!"
Bai Zhi noticed this detail: "What's wrong with the feathered owl? It seems unhappy. Does it not like me touching it?"
Ye Yinchuan listened to the voices of the heart and was also deeply moved:
"No, this is a problem that almost all dartbirds encounter. Dartbirds are naturally a bit narcissistic and vain, so they pay a lot of attention to their appearance. This can vary depending on the individual, but basically all dartbirds go through a sensitive period where they are very concerned about their appearance. Whenever they have time, they will groom their feathers and think about their own appearance..."
If a trainer of a Thrush doesn't pay attention to its feelings and doesn't provide assistance, the Thrush might become dissatisfied and less obedient. On the other hand, Thrush's habit of preening its feathers isn't just for aesthetics; it's also to keep its feathers sharp.
Furthermore, the Winged Owl's sensitivity extends beyond its appearance and the sharpness of its feathers; its perception of presence is also remarkably acute. If an enemy appears behind it, it can sense it immediately, then with a swift backflip, it finishes off its opponent with its sharp feathers…
Just as Ye Yinchuan was speaking, Yanre Miao appeared sneakily behind Touyuxiao, probably intending to "act up" as usual and pounce on Touyuxiao to the ground and tease it.
But the Feathered Owl immediately noticed and turned its head to stare at the Hot Cat with sharp eyes.
"Meow!"
Realizing its intentions had been noticed, Hot Cat lowered its head slightly, meowed awkwardly, and then walked away, looking around.
[Sure enough, no matter what kind of creature it is, if it's awkward, it'll become very busy!]
How much are the green beans?
Ye Yinchuan often observed the interactions between Pokémon and found them quite amusing. However, he wouldn't easily interfere, as there was no need. They were all good Pokémon; even if Sang Biao was sometimes a bit cheeky, it was just feline instinct...
If you try to play with it, it might ignore you, but if you ignore it, it'll act up every day.
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan stroked the Winged Owl, having already confirmed the content of its thoughts:
"As I just mentioned, Drow Ranger is particularly conscious of its appearance. Some Drow Rangers with strong personalities even have unique ideas about their design. For example, my Drow Ranger feels that its current appearance is a bit too androgynous and not cute enough like a girl. It hopes to have braids or a bow or something, which might better reflect its ideal image."
【…? No, how did you know, host?】
[What does this mean? It feels explosive!]
[Is the streamer trying to make the feather owl look like this?]
Bai Zhi also looked at Ye Yinchuan with a slightly strange and questioning expression, much like Yang Mi's expression asking, "Are you alright?"
Ye Yinchuan coughed twice, his face neither red nor his heart skipping a beat, and said:
"You guys don't think I have some kind of personal hobby, do you? I have to clarify, absolutely not. My Feathered Owl is a girl!"
Bai Zhi volunteered, "I'm pretty good at styling hair, why don't I give it a try? I promise I can make a hairstyle that suits the Feathered Owl."
Ye Yinchuan looked at Bai Zhi and said earnestly, "Then I'll leave it to you!"
At the same time, he also reassured Touyuxiao:
"Hey, it's okay, you have lots of hair. I'll have Sister Baizhi do a girly hairstyle for you later!"
After finishing his speech, Ye Yinchuan continued his live stream, looking for a suitable person to connect with.
@BadTemper: [Host, my Primarina has recently been inexplicably gaining Ghost-type energy, and its temper tantrums are becoming increasingly uncontrollable. Can you help me figure out what's wrong?]
Upon seeing the connection request, Ye Yinchuan had a sudden inspiration and immediately understood what was going on.
Such a clear description might not have caught his attention before he got the Pokédex, but now that he has a Pokémon database in his head, he'll react instantly, bro!
[Isn't Primeape a Fighting-type? I've heard it has Dark-type potential, and Ghost-type with Energy, but I've never heard of that!]
[Could it be possessed by some Ghost-type Pokémon?]
The comments section was buzzing with discussion.
Ye Yinchuan then declared, "You have a bad temper, so you're the one."
Just as the connection was about to be established, Bai Zhi's side had already successfully completed the task:
"It's all set, Xiaochuan, come take a look!"
Ye Yinchuan wasn't afraid of wasting a little time. When he saw the new look of the Feathered Owl, he was stunned...
This hairstyle features a bun-like structure on the upper side, with the hair parted to both sides and falling down...
Isn't this just like Minami Kotori's hairstyle?
Ye Yinchuan was a little stunned.
Oh, as mentioned before, when it came to naming the Touhou, Ye Yinchuan actually forgot a very important candidate—Minami Kotori!
With her hair styled in the Minami Kotori style, Touyu Owl's image and temperament have undergone a huge change. Originally somewhat androgynous, she is now full of girlish gentleness and cuteness!
Wow! This feathered owl design is amazing!
Shouldn't we praise our assistant? Her hairstyling skills are both fast and excellent!
[Great! I need a tutorial, maybe my owl can be saved!]
Ye Yinchuan wasn't against making things interesting with Pokémon's hairstyles, because it was a good way to highlight the Pokémon's personality and characteristics.
In games, for example, you can freely change the hairstyles of your partner Pikachu and partner Eevee.
In anime, the unique designs of various Pokémon are not uncommon.
For example, a group of three golden-haired Dugtrios, or a Pokémon beauty contest where all the Pokémon dress up and groom themselves...
Looking at the new look of the Feathered Owl, Ye Yinchuan was very satisfied. It can only be said that Bai Zhi's transformation was exactly what he wanted!
"Bai Zhi, you're amazing!"
Ye Yinchuan didn't hold back his praise, "Touyuxiao, I really like your new look, and everyone else likes it too!"
"Coo coo!"
The feathered owl was overjoyed.
Bai Zhi, feeling a great sense of accomplishment, smiled knowingly.
