Chapter 170: A Grand Review of Fighting-Type Pokémon! The Three Evolutionary Forms of Fearless Boy! Use a Kick!
"An unprecedented form of evolution?"
This statement made it hard for Ye Yinchuan not to be interested.
Looking at the username, it's "Fighting Fan Ano," so it should be a Fighting-type Pokémon.
"You're the one!"
So far, quite a few Water-type Pokémon have appeared in Ye Yinchuan's live stream.
Fighting-type characters, aside from things like arm wrestling, don't seem to have much to offer.
Therefore, Ye Yinchuan is quite optimistic about the opportunity to identify Fighting-type Pokémon.
His anticipation was heightened by the other party's description of an "unprecedented evolutionary form."
[You have accepted the connection request from user "Fighting Fan Ano"!]
[Connection successful!]
As the scene unfolds, a setting resembling a martial arts school comes into view.
As you can see, the environment is quite noisy, and many people and Pokémon are training.
A quick glance reveals that they are all fighting-related.
The Armwyn family, the Monkey family, the Fearless Boys family, and the Makushita family.
Wow, so many Fighting-type Pokémon!
[There's a Machamp here! Is this a Fighting-type gym?]
[The Iron Palm Warrior is amazing! He managed to repel a monster with a single slap!]
[The Fast-Punching Man's attacks are too fierce! Who can withstand those punches?]
The comments section was also quite eye-opening.
Fighting-type Pokémon hold a rather special position.
Because they are naturally suited for battle, many of them are trained as battle Pokémon.
Their wrist strength is alright, but they're like monkey monsters—fiery-tempered and difficult to control.
Even the fearless young man is impulsive and belligerent.
If you don't take it out to battle often, it will accumulate negative emotions, which basically means it will want to cause trouble for you.
Moreover, Fighting-type Pokémon often possess very strong bodies and strength, and their destructive power is obvious.
Therefore, although Fighting-type Pokémon are great for battling, not many people keep them.
One reason is that I don't like this kind of food, but another very important reason is that I don't have the means.
As I said before, becoming a professional trainer is not easy.
Ye Yinchuan also glanced around, briefly appreciating the forms of those Fighting-type Pokémon.
"It's not a dojo, it's a martial arts school. A few years ago, my master applied to become a dojo, but he wasn't successful."
The man in front of me looked at the comments and spoke.
"Hello host, this is Arno. I've been waiting for days, and I'm finally connecting with you online!"
He rubbed his hands together excitedly.
This Arno's image is also quite unique.
At first glance, he appears to be bald, but he also has a small braid in the middle.
He was wearing a vest and had well-developed muscles, but lacked aesthetic appeal.
However, what Ye Yinchuan cared about more was the Pokémon with the "unprecedented evolutionary form" he mentioned.
"Where are the Pokémon you're talking about?"
Ye Yinchuan got straight to the point.
Arno shifted his feet back and forth, like an excited little kid:
"Host, you should know that Fearless Boy should have evolved into Fast Punch Man, but my Fearless Boy has evolved into an unprecedented form!"
Hearing this, Ye Yinchuan understood.
At the same time, he also checked...
The results revealed that people around the world have an appallingly low level of understanding of the Fearless Boy.
All they knew was that Fearless Boy would evolve into Fast Punch.
But they were unaware of the other two forms.
So now, for Ye Yinchuan, the only suspense is not knowing what form Arno's Fearless Boy has evolved into.
"Is it Flying Kick Man, or War Dancer?"
In the game's setting, Fearless Boy has three evolutionary forms: Quick Punch Boy, Flying Kick Boy, and War Dance Boy.
Quick Fist Boy primarily fights with his fists.
Flying Kick Man and War Dancer are both skilled in kicking techniques.
However, the former is a conventional kicking technique, characterized by the ability to extend and retract the leg;
The latter, however, is a fancy kicking technique, also known as war dance.
Furthermore, it has evolved horns, allowing it to attack enemies with kicking techniques while spinning upside down.
The three evolution methods in the game are unique and very interesting.
When Fearless Boy's attributes are defense greater than attack, it will evolve into Quick Punch Boy;
If attack exceeds defense, it will evolve into a flying kicker.
Only when attack equals defense can it evolve into Senburou.
Therefore, the Pokémon concept is very interesting and classic.
Even Ye Yinchuan was deeply impressed by these details.
But the audience was completely unaware of these circumstances.
[What? You mean your Fearless Boy didn't evolve into Quick-Punch Man, but evolved into some other form?]
[Could it have mutated? Let us take a look!]
[Is this for real? Isn't this unprecedented and a bit too exaggerated? It won't be like that three-winged Pidgey last time...]
"Host, I'll take you to see it right now! My fearless little guy is feeling down right now because his evolved form is too unique..."
But I believe that no matter what form it evolves into, it will definitely have its advantages, especially since you're so talented, streamer, you might be able to spot it at a glance!
Hearing what Anuo said, Ye Yinchuan nodded.
It seems that because this evolutionary form is so unfamiliar, even the fearless kid himself is questioning his existence.
After all, what if all the fearless kids around us evolved into fast-paced fighters?
If it is the only one that has evolved into another form, it is indeed easy for it to be regarded as an anomaly!
Furthermore, if you try to apply the standards and training methods of Fast Punch to it, then the formula is wrong.
For example, if you ask Flying Kick to fight, it's not impossible, but can he beat Fast Punch?
Soon, Arno, with the camera in hand, came to the Pokémon.
This Pokémon is sitting in the corner of the training ground, facing the wall, looking rather withdrawn.
【Huh? You're telling me this is an evolution of Fearless Boy?】
[Isn't this deformed? Quick-Punch Man couldn't possibly look like this, and he doesn't resemble Fearless Boy at all!]
I suspect it's some kind of gopher that's become sentient... What does this have to do with the Fearless Kid?
The comments section was buzzing with discussion.
Meanwhile, inside the martial arts school, someone passed by and teased Anuo:
"Hey, you're using performance-enhancing drugs at the gym, you didn't give them to your fearless little guy too, did you? That's why it evolved into this state..."
Others advised, "Give up, Ah-no, this one of yours... I don't even know what it is, its punches are weak and powerless, it's nowhere near as good as Fast Punch. There's no need for us to fight to the death, if it really doesn't work, we can switch to another one."
"Get lost! I'm not giving up on my Pokémon! Do you even know what 'bond' means? And don't talk nonsense! I didn't use any drugs; I trained with protein powder!"
Ye Yinchuan remained silent.
Seeing the Pokémon's shape, he was certain.
Its body is grayish-brown, like soil, with a bald head, and hands and feet with a special structure that looks like straps but is actually spring-loaded...
Even judging from just his back view, there's no other possibility.
This is Flying Kick!
"Turn the camera to the front and take a closer look, I want to see it properly."
Ye Yinchuan already had the answer in his heart, but he still had to put on a show.
At the same time, he also wanted to better and more comprehensively appreciate the flying kicker's posture.
Flying Kick has no mouth, his eyes are entirely black with white pupils, the corners of his eyes are upturned, and he has no eyebrows, making him look very strange and fierce.
Its arms are thin, but you can see the bulges and lines of its muscles.
He has three fingers in total, and he doesn't have boxing gloves or shoulder pads like the Quick Punch Man.
His legs are very long, but you can hardly see any muscle.
It has three sharp fingernails and a hard, yellow object on the sole of its foot.
I don't know if it's a callus or a fleshy pad.
Right now, this Kick-Heeled Beast is in a very frustrated state, just like what Arno mentioned before.
[What the hell? This guy's looks are way uglier than Fast Fist Boy!]
[It really does look like a deformity...]
[These eyes look scary!]
[Am I the only one who thinks it's kind of cool?]
"You're not allowed to call my Pokémon deformed! It may look a little unusual, but it's a good Pokémon, and I'm really getting angry when you say that!"
Arno angrily clenched his fist as he looked at some of the offensive comments in the live chat.
[This Pokémon shouldn't be brought out to embarrass people. It's not its fault that it looks scary, but it is your fault for bringing it out to scare people!] (This user has been banned for 48 hours)
[Upstairs, are you kidding me? Why broadcast this if no one is providing the material?]
[Sigh, look at the Milotic next to the streamer to cleanse your eyes... Wait, is that a Rowlet with the flashing lights?]
Ye Yinchuan couldn't hold back any longer in response to the comments:
"Some people are going too far. There are many forms of Pokémon. Don't make slanderous remarks just because you haven't seen them before or can't appreciate them."
At the same time, Ye Yinchuan realized once again that there is still a long way to go in popularizing Pokémon knowledge through live streaming.
For example, right now, it is clearly an evolved form of the Fearless Boy, but because it doesn't look very good, it is regarded as deformed and suffers criticism.
Although some viewers commented that they couldn't see the comments in the Pokémon chat.
But Ye Yinchuan could understand Arno's feelings about protecting his Pokémon.
Like the ugly fish, it can tolerate others saying that it looks ugly and not good-looking.
But if you say that the Ugly Fish looks like a ghost and is deformed, he'll have to argue his point!
So, the streamer knows about this Pokémon?
[Host, please go on and tell me more, I can't wait!]
Arno, full of anticipation, asked, "Host, is there any explanation for this evolutionary form?"
"Yes, of course! And there's a huge amount! I call this evolved form of the fearless kid 'Flying Kick Boy'!"
"Flying Kick Guy? Flying Kick Guy!"
Arno's pupils contracted, his expression filled with joy.
Because no one knew this form, he didn't know what to call it, but now, finally, there is a specific name for it.
[Fast Fist Man? Flying Kick Man? They actually look quite symmetrical!]
[Those skinny legs, they look so delicate, are you sure you can call that a flying kick?]
[With proper training, Fast Fist's punches could reach the speed of a high-speed train! And what about Flying Kick?]
"Flying Kick, did you hear that? You're not Fast Punch, you're not a deformity, you're my one and only Flying Kick!"
Arno couldn't wait to give Flying Kick this good news.
Flying Kick looked up and could roughly understand what it meant, but it saw it more as a form of encouragement from Arno.
"It seems this child lacks confidence."
Ye Yinchuan could tell at a glance that Flying Kick Lang lacked confidence.
In this way, one cannot unleash their full potential.
They are also prone to becoming listless and stagnant.
This is especially fatal for Fighting-type Pokémon.
"Yes, streamer, it became insecure about its different appearance right after evolving. And in terms of boxing and fighting, it was no match for those fast-paced fighters, so it was very frustrated."
Ah-no comforted Flying Kick, his tone full of heartache.
"Then we've found the problem. Hitman's real strength lies in his leg techniques, not his boxing. It's because you don't understand Hitman enough and are training him like a fast-paced boxer. Or rather... even Hitman thinks he's a fast-paced boxer and doesn't realize what his real strength is."
Ye Yinchuan spoke with certainty; he had grasped the key point.
Flying Kick Man is also known as the "Kicking Demon".
Boxing and stuff...theoretically, it could be used, but the intensity definitely couldn't compare to a fast-paced boxing match.
This is like a master of leg techniques who refuses to use his legs and tries to fight someone in boxing – wouldn't that be a disaster?
"So... streamer, what's so great about Flying Kick Man is his legs?"
Arnold is a fighting game enthusiast, so he grasps this concept very quickly.
"Yes, I think I've made myself clear. Fists aren't its forte; kicks and punches are what it excels at! If you don't believe me, try it now...you might be surprised!"
"Alright! Flying Kick, let's go train!"
As he spoke, Ah-Nuo reached out to grab Flying Leg Lang.
Perhaps it was this excitement and passion that moved Flying Kick, or perhaps Flying Kick was unwilling to accept things ending like this.
They appeared on the training field.
Many people at the martial arts gym were already used to Arno and his special Pokémon.
There was a hint of disdain in their eyes.
After all, this thing is not only an anomaly, but also lacks strength.
In a martial arts gym, martial prowess is paramount, and a Pokémon's fighting strength is always the primary factor determining its status.
"Flying Kick Man, use your kicking technique!"
Arnold shouted passionately, "Let everyone know that you're the best!"
Encouraged, Flying Kick Man nodded, stared at the training stake in front of him, and began to prepare.
[It's getting exciting!]
Don't let me down!
[This "Flying Kick Guy" seems top-heavy; is he really that good at kicking?]
[Kirby Appraisal, it has to be reliable!]
With a thud, Flying Kick Man kicked out, and the wooden stake made a loud thud.
There was some smoke and dust, but it didn't seem to have much power!
[It has some potential, but not entirely.]
[He seems ordinary, not nearly as amazing as the streamer made him out to be.]
"Well done, Flying Kick Guy!"
Arno praised her generously.
Although the effect was not entirely satisfactory, it was nothing compared to the Fighting-type Pokémon next to it.
But he knew that when Flying Kick used his punches, they were truly weak and powerless!
Ye Yinchuan didn't rush to speak, but just stared at the screen, waiting for something.
Bang!
Bang!
Boom!
Flying Kick Man is still kicking, and he seems to be getting cleaner and more precise, with increasing power.
In the end, the wooden stake could no longer withstand the pressure and even began to deform and crack...
What's going on? Why is he kicking so fiercely?
[This power...something's not right!]
You can see it in the live stream chat.
People around the martial arts school also noticed this place.
This is similar to a student who is not doing well in class suddenly getting higher and higher scores; it's hard not to notice them.
Ye Yinchuan's lips curled up slightly.
All of this was within his expectations.
He cleared his throat and began to explain:
"Didn't any of you notice? Hitmonlee's leg structure is very special. Those khaki-colored structures on its legs are like springs, possessing strong elasticity and extensibility..."
It really is true...
"After Hitmonlee evolved, it probably didn't really develop its kicking technique properly, so it's not used to the structure of its own legs yet. But this is like an instinct, something you learn after evolving, so once it gets familiar with it, it'll be able to adapt... and its power will naturally increase."
Just then, Flying Kick Lang began to retreat a short distance.
He kicked out again.
Thud! Smack!
The wooden stake shattered under its kick, its power truly astonishing!
Why did it back away?
[Wow, that's incredibly powerful! Streamer, could you explain?]
"Hitting Kick's attack range is longer than we imagine because its legs can extend freely. Sometimes, when the distance is too close, its power cannot be fully unleashed."
Furthermore, I believe this Hitmonlee has also noticed that the yellow part on the sole of its foot is its hardest part, capable of delivering the greatest impact. Utilizing this effectively, Hitmonlee's kicking techniques are truly terrifying!
Ye Yinchuan's passionate commentary further reminded everyone that
"I don't know if you've noticed, but Flying Kick's kicking technique is not only about distance and power, but also about continuity."
Who just said it was top-heavy? But have you noticed that its sense of balance is quite amazing? No matter what posture it is in, it can maintain its balance and launch a powerful kick!
If they train properly, just imagine how powerful such an offensive would be in a match.
"An inch longer, an inch stronger. I'm not saying that Fast Punch is necessarily inferior to Flying Kick, but Flying Kick definitely has its own unique advantages. It's not deformed, much less useless!"
[Holy crap, that sounds pretty awesome!]
No, no, no, remove the feeling!
Have you ever heard the saying, "The arm can't twist the thigh"? This flying kicker has a bright future ahead of him!
"Flying Kick...really, really great! You're the best!"
Arno saw that Hitman had found his territory, saw the comments, and heard the approval of those around him.
He felt as if he had finally vindicated Flying Kick.
"Thank you so much, Kirby! If it weren't for you, my Hitmonlee might have remained depressed for much longer. Maybe if he'd been depressed for too long, he would never have been able to pull himself together!"
Indeed, it feels like many Pokémon would be misunderstood or overlooked if it weren't for streamers.
[The anchor is honored with a place in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and a monument to his merits is erected!]
Upon seeing this, Ye Yinchuan nodded with satisfaction:
"Gold always shines. With a trainer like you, I believe that even without me, Hitmonlee's talent will not be buried, just like you have always believed in it... It's just a matter of time."
Ye Yinchuan pondered this for a moment.
In fact, the Flying Kick incident is just like people; everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.
Don't think you're incapable just because you can't do something well. Maybe you'll excel in a different field?
"Hey, Anno, do me a favor. Give those Fighting-type Pokémon some screen time, and I'll say something to our viewers in the live stream."
Ye Yinchuan did not rush to end the call.
Instead, they felt that it was a waste to just let this martial arts gym, with so many Fighting-type Pokémon, go by like this.
"Okay, Kirby, whatever you say!"
User "Fighting Fan Ano" gifted: Master Ball *1!
[Gift Message: A small token of my appreciation!]
"Oh, you're too kind. Thank you for the gift, Anno, and thank you everyone for your gifts too. Those big brothers, please don't send any more gifts yet. You're giving me gold leaves, but I can't just let you cut in line! I have principles!"
Ye Yinchuan checked and found that the connection requests were already full.
The revenue from gifts also made them very wealthy.
"If you're connecting with us later, we won't be picky. We'll connect with whoever we want, it's fair and just! It's completely free, a real giveaway streamer!"
[The streamer's perspective has broadened!]
【666, I love Kirby's Revelation!】
Ye Yinchuan announced, and then, following Arno's camera, began to identify and explain those Fighting-type Pokémon.
First up is Fast Fist Bro.
The character's appearance is like that of a boxer, but he is wearing a light purple... dress?
Its shoulders have a structure similar to shoulder pads, they are broad and thick, and its hair is in sheets, which, combined with its brown skin, makes it look like a little tree person.
Its fists looked like they were wearing red boxing gloves, and its feet were also light purple.
While Quick Punch isn't the most advanced fighting style, its strength and punching power are absolutely not to be underestimated.
"Look at this Fast Punch Boy, its level and training are very high. It seems like it's not doing anything, but it's actually throwing punches like crazy. If you take a screenshot or watch it in slow motion, you'll see it!"
Wow! It really is!
[That's incredible! Such a small frame, yet such amazing boxing skills!]
"With a punch of that caliber, even a glancing blow would tear a piece of skin, or cause a burn due to the high speed and temperature. Look at that thick training wall; all those dents are from Fast-Punch Man's punches!"
"The limit for a typical fast-paced fighter is three minutes. After three minutes, both their speed and power will drop sharply. Therefore, fast-paced fighters usually fight quickly; if they can't finish off their opponent quickly, they might be defeated!"
"Fast-Punching fighters have an indomitable spirit and never give up. There's a saying that they possess the soul of a professional boxer, the kind who aims for the world championship!"
Then, there's the fearless kid.
Compared to Flying Kick, Fearless Boy and Fast Punch Boy have many similarities.
For example, the color scheme is different; the Fearless Boy's skin is light purple, while his pants are brown.
But Hitman and Fearless Boy also have something in common: the bandages on Fearless Boy's body are actually the prototype of Hitman's "spring" structure.
"Dauntless lives up to its name; it's incredibly fearless, constantly challenging even larger opponents. If you're considering raising this Pokémon, be sure to think carefully and be prepared for frequent battles and the possibility of it getting injured!"
Ye Yinchuan's mouth was dry from explaining.
When his gaze fell upon a Pokémon, his eyes flickered slightly:
"This wrestler is something else! Anno, move closer and give him more screen time so the audience can see him!"
Wow, what's with all those muscles? Aren't all wrestlers supposed to be chubby?
[Are you sure this isn't just a fast-paced fighter disguised as a Makuhito samurai?]
No, no, no, this guy is way stronger than Fast Punch! He's practically a powerhouse!
Update 12,000 words delivered! Flying Kick's storyline is over! I was late because I was typing at an internet cafe after arguing with my girlfriend!
