118: Section 118

Besides that, nothing else is too important, as long as Nongpao Bug's special attack is strong enough.

What are you talking about? Even if your attack is strong, it's useless if it doesn't hit, right? Arcanine is a good example.

Although Nongpao Bug's own speed is not outstanding, as an Electric Pokémon, its skill speed is very fast, so unless it encounters a Pokémon as fast as Arcanine, it shouldn't miss.

Actually, even if one attack misses, couldn't you just try a few more times?

Generally speaking, that is indeed the case.

Although that's true, did you forget that Nongpao Bug's stamina is also an issue?

It's fine, even if it really runs out of electricity, couldn't it still use Bug-type-type moves?

That's right! Although Nongpao Bug mainly used Electric-type moves during the battle just now, that was because its opponent was Arcanine, and Bug-type-type moves weren't effective. But if its opponent were someone else, it would be different!

The Water Friends, who were already very interested in Nongpao Bug, became even more interested after hearing Zhang Yu's introduction of Nongpao Bug.

After all, Nongpao Bug's speed disadvantage, which they had originally perceived, was also different from what they had thought.

With powerful special attack and decent speed, Nongpao Bug's potential was clear.

As for other disadvantages, they were temporarily ignored, as compared to Nongpao Bug's advantages, those disadvantages seemed insignificant.

Take the evolution problem, for example. While obtaining a Thunder Stone is indeed an issue, isn't there still the special magnetic field method?

It's not a problem at all!

"Pao?"

Although Nongpao Bug was knocked out by Arcanine earlier, its injuries were not as serious as others had imagined. Look, before Zhang Yu could even treat its injuries, it had slowly woken up.

After waking up, Nongpao Bug instinctively wanted to flap its wings and fly.

"Nongpao Bug, stay still for a moment, I'm still treating your injuries."

Upon noticing this, Zhang Yu quickly reached out and pressed down on Nongpao Bug's wings, gently reassuring it.

Under Zhang Yu's soothing, Nongpao Bug quickly settled down.

"Alright, I've treated all your injuries. It's time for us to say goodbye."

With Nongpao Bug's cooperation, Zhang Yu quickly finished treating the last bit of its injuries.

After placing it on the ground, Zhang Yu waved goodbye to it.

"Pao~"

Upon hearing this, Nongpao Bug nodded at Zhang Yu, then flapped its wings and flew away.

After bidding farewell to Nongpao Bug, Zhang Yu and his companions continued walking towards the snowy mountain.

"Hmm? Something seems a little off."

At first, he didn't feel anything, but as they got further and further away from the volcano behind them, he began to feel some changes in the surrounding temperature, as if it was getting lower and lower?

Especially when the snowy mountain appeared within his line of sight, this feeling became even more obvious.

And it was at this moment that something began to fall from the sky.

"Is it snow?"

"First high temperature, and then extreme cold, perhaps?"

Zhang Yu reached out and caught it, discovering it was a snowflake, and his mouth twitched.

He knew that as long as it involved these Legendary creatures, anything strange could happen.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh.

"That's... a Pokémon?"

Just as Zhang Yu was about to continue forward, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of a brown furball not far ahead.

Although its body features were obscured, Zhang Yu couldn't identify it.

But it was undoubtedly a Pokémon.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu immediately quickened his pace and walked towards that Pokémon.

Huh? Has Anchor discovered something unusual again?

It seems that way?

Look! Something seems to be falling from the sky!

Oh my! Is that snow?

No way? It's snowing?

Not just snowing, look ahead of Anchor, there's a snowy mountain too!

What on earth is the climate like here? Just now it was hot, and now it's cold, right?

You can't say that, the reason it was so hot just now was entirely because of the volcano and Moltres, alright? This isn't the normal climate here.

Are you trying to say that snowy mountain is a normal climate?

That snowy mountain is clearly not normal. The reason for this situation should be related to a Pokémon again, and it might even be a Legendary creature.

Speaking of Ice-type Legendary creatures... it seems the last of the three legendary birds is called Articuno, right? From the name, it's clearly an Ice-type Legendary creature without a doubt. Could it be that Anchor is about to encounter it next?

It can't be that coincidental, can it?

Yes, isn't this a bit too coincidental? Anchor just left the place where Moltres was, and now he's seeing Articuno?

No, this is not a coincidence. Haven't you noticed? Anchor has been walking in this direction ever since he came down the mountain. Clearly, he already knew there was something in this direction.

Now that you mention it, I just remembered something. When Anchor was still on the volcano, it seemed like a white area could be faintly seen in this direction. That must have been this snowy mountain.

So, Anchor is actively searching for where Articuno might be?

I'm afraid that's the case.

But how does he know Articuno is definitely here?

In other times, Articuno might not necessarily be here, but don't forget, Zapdos and Moltres are also present nearby.

Indeed, like the Three Legendary Beasts, the three legendary birds should also have a connection with each other, so it's not surprising that they would live in close proximity.

So, we really might see Articuno?

Yay! We get to see another Legendary creature!

Although that's true, aren't you thinking things too simply? Not to mention anything else, the low temperature on the snowy mountain is a big problem, right?

Yes, if he can't solve this problem, Anchor won't be able to enter the snowy mountain.

At first, the Water Friends in the live stream didn't feel anything unusual, but after Zhang Yu's reminder, they gradually noticed that something was amiss.

What's with that snowy mountain in the distance and the snowflakes falling from the sky?

The climate here is a bit too strange, isn't it?

After a moment of surprise, they quickly realized the reason: such an abnormal climate must be related to a Pokémon!

And most likely, it's a Legendary creature!

Like Zhang Yu, their first suspect was Articuno!

After all... they really only knew of Articuno as an Ice-type Legendary creature...

"I see, it's a Piloswine."

As Zhang Yu approached, when he saw its pig snout and the tusks on either side of its nose, he finally recognized its identity.

And when he realized that it was currently sleeping, he stopped approaching and spoke softly in a low voice.

"This sleeping Pokémon is called Piloswine. It's an Ice-type and Ground-type Pokémon."

"As you can see, Piloswine is covered in thick, long fur that can resist the cold. Not to mention in this environment, even on a snowy mountain, it won't feel the slightest bit of cold."

"However, its long fur isn't all advantages. The disadvantage is that because its fur is too long and dense, it completely obscures its eyes. So, most of the time, Piloswine actually can't see what's in front of it, which often leads to various accidents."

"It's a good thing Piloswine is tough enough, otherwise its survival would really be quite concerning."

"But after losing its sight, Piloswine's other senses become very sharp, especially its sense of smell, which is the most prominent."

"It can even tell what's around it by smelling, and even food hidden under the snow can be found quite easily."

"However, don't let its not-so-small size fool you; its limbs are extremely short, and combined with its long fur, its limbs are usually completely invisible."

"But this body structure also prevents it from slipping when walking on snow."

As Zhang Yu introduced Piloswine to the Water Friends, he instinctively wanted to reach out and touch Piloswine's long fur.

But considering that this Piloswine was currently sleeping, he had to give up.

Otherwise, if he accidentally woke this guy up, it would be quite troublesome.

It's not that he wouldn't be able to soothe it or anything, but he would probably have to take out a large amount of energy cubes to feed it enough so it wouldn't cause trouble.

What? This is a pig?

Good heavens, I almost thought this was a Pokémon similar to a mammoth, but it's actually a pig?

Anchor, you didn't mistake the Pokémon, did you? Doesn't it still have a pair of tusks? Although they're a bit short.
