168: Section 168

“I often feel out of place with you all because I’m not perverted enough.”

Although the Water Friends in the live broadcast room had already speculated about Ditto’s abilities, they were still startled when they truly heard about them.

After all, Ditto’s ability was truly too heaven-defying.

Especially those who liked to stir up trouble immediately thought of many things.

So much so that by the end, even the bullet comments in the live broadcast room started to become a bit strange.

Chapter 218: Ditto's Limitations (Requesting Self-Subscription)

“Ahem, why are you only thinking about all sorts of messy things…?”

Zhang Yu felt speechless after noticing the bullet comments in the live broadcast room.

To prevent them from continuing to chat about this topic, he immediately prepared to change the subject.

“Regarding Ditto’s transformation ability, there are indeed some limitations.”

“The most important one is that Ditto’s HP will not change; no matter what Pokémon it transforms into, its HP remains the same.”

“However, for all other abilities besides HP, Ditto will become identical to the target, even copying their Ability and moves.”

“In addition, for special existences like Legendary creature, Ditto’s transformation ability will also be significantly limited.”

“It can, at most, only match the opponent’s appearance; all other aspects cannot be guaranteed.”

As Zhang Yu spoke of these things, he couldn't help but think of other matters.

Although Ditto's inability to change HP is a limitation in most cases, it can actually be an advantage when transforming into certain special Pokémon.

For example, the famous Shedinja is precisely like this.

You should know that Shedinja is a Pokémon whose HP is forcibly set to 1; it’s the kind of Pokémon that will lose its ability to battle if it’s even slightly grazed by a move.

But if you were to truly underestimate it because of this, then you would be greatly mistaken.

Because Shedinja has only one Ability, and that is Wonder Guard.

A Pokémon with this Ability will not take damage from moves unless it is attacked by something that is super effective against it.

Although Shedinja’s type combination is not particularly outstanding, with five types that can be super effective against it, no other moves besides those five types can harm it at all.

Originally, because of Shedinja’s frail body, this wasn't a big problem, but if a Ditto were to truly transform into Shedinja, that would be a different story.

“I knew it! Ditto’s transformation ability must have some drawbacks. See? I was right!”

“While there are indeed some drawbacks, do they seem too significant?”

“Indeed, although there is a drawback in terms of HP, other aspects are identical to the opponent’s Pokémon. If the Trainer’s command level is high enough, it might not be impossible to defeat the opponent.”

“That’s right, especially using Ditto to battle the opponent’s ace is definitely not a loss. If you’re lucky, you might be able to directly take down the opponent’s ace. Even if you fail, you’ve still consumed a lot of the opponent’s ace’s HP.”

“Now that you mention it, it really does seem that way.”

“As for the inability to replicate the strength of Legendary creature, that’s just normal. Or rather, no one expected Ditto to be able to do such a thing from the beginning, right?”

“That’s indeed the truth. How could any Pokémon transform into a Legendary creature and possess their strength?”

“So, does that mean Ditto is a pretty good Pokémon?”

“Isn’t it? Its various functional and entertainment aspects go without saying. Just its combat utility alone is already quite good.”

“The entertainment aspect is quite good.”

“I can only say that those who understand, understand. Those who don’t, won’t understand even if I explain. Don’t ask either, the interests involved are too great, and it’s not good for you if I explain. I can only say the water is very deep, and the online information has been deleted, so I can only say that those who understand, understand, and there’s nothing I can do for those who don’t.”

“You’re just rambling on.”

“I don’t care about anything else, I just want to know where I can find Ditto?”

“That’s a truly difficult question.”

“Since Anchor didn’t specifically mention it, it should be a widely distributed Pokémon, but it should be very rare.”

“Actually, the main problem isn’t its rarity, but that Ditto is very likely to transform into other Pokémon, or even turn into a rock like this time. That’s the most difficult part.”

“Yes, even if Ditto appears in front of you, you might not be able to recognize its identity.”

When the Water Friends in the live broadcast room heard Zhang Yu reveal Ditto’s ability limitations, they didn’t show too much surprise.

After all, with Ditto’s extremely miraculous ability, having limitations is normal; it would be strange if there were no limitations.

So, they expressed complete understanding.

And compared to the limitations on its abilities, they were more concerned about where they could catch a Pokémon like Ditto.

After all, having a Ditto is almost equivalent to having multiple Pokémon, and if one were bolder, it could even be multiple.

It was precisely because of this that they were so tempted.

Chapter 219: A Sudden Battle (Requesting Self-Subscription)

After bidding farewell to Ditto, Zhang Yu and his team continued along the beach.

However, they hadn’t gone far when he noticed something amiss: ahead of them was a Sandcastle that appeared to be partially wet and missing a corner!

If it were anywhere else, a Sandcastle appearing on the beach would be perfectly normal, but on this island, it seemed a bit eerie.

“Could it be that this Sandcastle is that Pokémon?”

Zhang Yu only pondered for a moment before quickly Lock-On to a Pokémon.

To confirm his guess, he immediately continued forward a bit further towards the Sandcastle.

When that Sandcastle entered hisPerception range, he immediately realized that this Sandcastle was indeed a Pokémon.

This allowed him to immediately confirm its identity—Palossand!

“Looks like I guessed correctly.”

After confirming the opponent’s identity, Zhang Yu immediately nodded proudly.

But just as he was about to introduce the opponent’s identity, Palossand, which had been standing motionless, suddenly opened its eyes and met Zhang Yu’s gaze.

“Hi~ Hello~”

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yu was only slightly stunned, then immediately greeted the other party.

“Sha!”

But what Zhang Yu didn’t expect was that his goodwill was not met with kindness from the other party; only Palossand’s loud roar responded to him.

“Shadow Ball!”

Before Zhang Yu could figure out what was going on, Palossand fired a dark Energy Ball towards their location.

“Arcanine, use Flamethrower immediately!”

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yu didn't bother to think too much and immediately had Arcanine launch an attack.

As Zhang Yu’s words fell, Arcanine immediately shot out a scorching Flamethrower towards Palossand.

In the blink of an eye, this scorching pillar of fire collided with that dark Energy Ball.

“Boom!”

After only a brief stalemate, the dark Energy Ball was the first to explode.

Although this explosion weakened the pillar of fire somewhat, the remaining flames still landed on Palossand, causing the sand on its body to instantly glow red and emit wisps of white smoke.

“Sha!”

After being attacked by Arcanine, Palossand immediately let out another roar.

“This Palossand seems a bit off…”

Upon hearing Palossand’s roar, Zhang Yu’s expression immediately became very strange.

Because Palossand, which had originally seemed very angry, now emitted a roar that carried a hint of pleasure.

This made Zhang Yu couldn't help but murmur to himself, “Could this Palossand be some kind of masochist?”

“Huh? Has Anchor encountered a Pokémon again?”

“It certainly seems so.”

“So the question is, why didn’t I see any Pokémon again this time?”

“That’s probably because your eyes aren’t very good, right?”

“My eyes aren’t bad at all! You haven’t even looked at what kind of weird situations these recent Pokémon have been in!”

“By the way, why is there a Sandcastle here? What do you guys think, could that Sandcastle be a Pokémon?”

“How is that possible?”

“Exactly, it’s just a Sandcastle, how could it be a Pokémon?”

“But the problem is, if even rocks can become Pokémon, why can’t sand?”

“What you said makes so much sense, I’m speechless.”

“Could that Sandcastle really be a Pokémon?”
