Chapter 620 A long-necked dragon Pokémon living in the tundra and wearing an aurora on its head? And
Chapter 620 A long-necked dragon Pokémon living in the tundra and wearing an aurora on its head? And an ancestor of bird Pokémon?
"Growing on your head?"
Ye Yinchuan's words were understated.
The clerk was stunned, her mind blank for a moment.
How do you attach a huge fossil that looks like a fish fin to the head of a Pokémon?
What kind of heretical idea is this?
The live stream chat exploded instantly.
Did I hear that right? The streamer said this thing grows on your head?
[A fish fin on its head? Is this some kind of parody of Aquaman?]
[I just imagined it, and the scene is too beautiful for me to bear; it feels like it's lowering my sanity.]
The host's way of thinking is always so unconventional; I can't keep up anymore.
Faced with everyone's astonishment and confusion, Ye Yinchuan simply smiled calmly.
He walked to the display case of the "Fossil Fin" and pointed to the faint, ice-crystal-like patterns on the fossil through the glass.
"If you imagine it as a fish, you're narrowing your thinking."
His voice was calm and steady, without a trace of pride. "What if it weren't a fish, but a land-based Pokémon that lived in ancient, frigid regions?"
Land-based Pokémon?
This conjecture only confused the audience further.
Why do land-based Pokémon have such a huge, fin-like organ?
"Look at these patterns again," Ye Yinchuan continued, guiding the group's thinking. "If I'm not mistaken, the residual energy inside it exhibits characteristics of ice-attribute energy, doesn't it?"
The specialist immediately nodded: "Yes, Mr. Snorlax! This is also why we speculate that it is an ocean Pokémon and once lived in waters like the Antarctic and Arctic."
"Your line of thinking is correct, but you're still limited by the concept of fish fins."
Ye Yinchuan made the final decision.
"This organ is more like a sail. A sail of ice growing on its head, made of cartilage and skin."
He began to describe, using hand gestures, "Imagine a graceful, long-necked dragon Pokémon that lives on an ancient continent covered in ice and snow."
"Their bodies are a cool, pale blue, with bellies as white as the first snow. They have a pair of sapphire-like eyes, so pure they contain not a trace of impurity."
"And on their heads and necks grow a pair of such beautiful membranes, like sails."
Ye Yinchuan's words brought to mind that elegant and dreamlike figure for everyone.
"This sail" is more than just decoration.
He revealed a detail that captivated everyone.
"It can release extremely cold air down to -150 degrees Celsius to defend itself against predators. And when its emotions fluctuate, such as when it's happy..."
In moments of joy, these ice sails refract light like prisms, emitting a dazzling rainbow of colors! They are as beautiful as the aurora borealis!
[With a glowing rainbow sail on its head! What kind of divine beauty is this?!]
[The little princess with a long neck in the snow! I've already fallen in love with her just from hearing the description!]
[Minus 150 degrees Celsius! This guy's looks and talent are completely in sync!]
Could it be that Milotic's rival is on the horizon?
The specialist in charge of recording immediately relayed everything Ye Yinchuan said to the laboratory staff.
The restoration of the fin fossil will soon be put on the new schedule.
When the specialist told Ye Yinchuan the news, the latter nodded: "If there are any recovery results, remember to send me a copy, and I will share it with my fans as soon as possible."
"No problem, Mr. Kirby. We did a lot of preparation for the fossil reconstruction, but we were misled by the 'fin' – we didn't expect it to be a cephalic fin. Please wait a moment, we might have the results soon!"
Ye Yinchuan's steps did not stop.
He continued to wander through this vast treasure trove of fossils, his gaze soon drawn to another exhibit.
It was a fossil stored separately in a constant temperature incubator. It was flat in shape and had clear feather-like patterns on it. It looked like a huge leaf of a prehistoric fern.
"What conclusions have you drawn from this fossil?" Ye Yinchuan asked with great interest.
A bespectacled, seemingly senior researcher immediately stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Mr. Kirby, this sample, which we've named a 'feather fossil,' has been preliminarily identified as a feather from some ancient bird-like Pokémon."
"However," he changed the subject, a hint of helplessness on his face, "its energy characteristics are completely different from all the known bird Pokémon feathers in our database. Moreover, its structure is too primitive, more like the scales of reptiles, a transitional form in the evolution of feathers."
"The most crucial point is that we only found this part of the fossils, and we couldn't find the main body of the fossils at all. Therefore, this research project has to be put on hold for the time being."
Another "discarded proposal".
The viewers in the live stream were already used to it.
[Another one? Is the anchor here today to give a collective consultation on all the rejected cases from the research institute?]
[That sounds amazing, the ancestor of bird-type Pokémon?]
[With only one feather, how can it be restored? Even a skilled cook can't make a meal without ingredients.]
However, after listening, Ye Yinchuan walked to the fossil and examined it carefully for a moment through the glass.
After a moment, he spoke: "Your conclusion is half right and half wrong."
Everyone was taken aback, and all eyes were once again focused on him.
"It may be the 'ancestor' of all bird-type Pokémon, and in that respect, your judgment is pretty much correct."
Ye Yinchuan affirmed the researchers' direction.
"But it is not a feather."
Not a feather?
The researcher was stunned: "But its shape—"
"Its shape is more like a whole wing," Ye Yinchuan corrected.
"Or rather, it is a fossilized wing with primitive feathers."
Ye Yinchuan cut to the chase, "The reason you can't find its main body is because you've overestimated its importance."
"Try to imagine a Pokémon that is only about half a meter long and has a body size similar to a small dinosaur."
"Its body is yellow, and its head is adorned with bright blue and red feathers. Its claws and beak still retain reptilian characteristics."
"And its forelimbs evolved into a pair of small wings covered with primitive feathers, which look like a whole feather."
Ye Yinchuan then changed the subject: "The most important point is that although this Pokémon is a Flying-type, it is too primitive and cannot fly in the true sense."
"These wings only allow them to glide briefly after running and jumping. Therefore, they mostly lived in ancient forests, hunting and escaping predators by moving between trees."
After hearing these words, all the researchers showed thoughtful expressions.
That's it!
Because it cannot fly, its wing structure is vastly different from that of modern bird-like Pokémon!
And it is precisely because of its small size —
That's why a complete wing fossil could be mistaken for a giant feather!
The previously intractable doubts suddenly became clear after Ye Yinchuan's explanation!
[The streamer isn't even acting; I suspect he might have traveled from ancient times. He clearly recognizes these Pokémon!]
[He pretended to be clueless when he first arrived, but he probably already knew what could be reconstructed from the pterosaur fossil and the other fossil!]
[If it were anyone else, I would definitely think it was a script, but he's Kirby the Appraiser! His appraisal skills are unparalleled!]
So, will this Pokémon be a Dragon-type?
Just as everyone was still marveling at the wonders of "Archaeopteryx", a series of hurried footsteps came from the other end of the laboratory corridor.
A young researcher, barely catching his breath, rushed to the crowd, his face beaming with uncontrollable joy and excitement.
"Mr. Kirby! There's a result!"
He was holding a tablet computer, on which a rapidly rendering 3D model was displayed.
"It's a fossilized fin! Following Mr. Snorlax's idea, we defined it as 'the ice sail on its head,' and reconstructed it using ancient brachiosaur-like Pokémon as a model!"
These words immediately drew the attention of the entire live stream back to the viewers.
Holy crap! That fast?!
[It's here! The Ice Pokémon with a rainbow sail on its head! I can't wait!]
[The research institute's efficiency is impressive! With just one sentence from the anchor, a rejected project instantly becomes a key project!]
Ye Yinchuan's face also showed a hint of interest. He followed the excited researchers back to the main laboratory.
The giant holographic projection device has been restarted.
As the researcher input the final command, the pale blue data stream converged in mid-air.
A brand new Pokémon design slowly emerged before everyone's eyes.
It was a Pokémon with a long neck and limbs, and its physique did indeed resemble the long-necked dragon that everyone imagined. Its body was a cool, pale blue, and its belly was pure, snow-white.
The most striking feature is, of course, the huge and magnificent membrane on its head and neck, reconstructed from fossils.
The "Ice Sail," rendered with virtual lighting effects, appears translucent, with shimmering light seemingly flowing inside, creating a dreamlike and beautiful scene.
"It's a success!"
"It's so beautiful! It's like a creature straight out of mythology!"
Throughout the laboratory, exclamations of admiration filled the air. The researchers, looking at the image their team had "created," were beaming with a sense of accomplishment.
The live stream chat was flooded with comments expressing amazement.
My God, what kind of divine beauty is this!
The long-necked dragon in the snow and ice is so elegant, so incredibly elegant!
[Although something feels a little off, it's still so beautiful!]
However, amidst this enthusiastic atmosphere, Ye Yinchuan frowned slightly.
He didn't speak, but just stared quietly at the holographic projection.
Having been "baptized" by the pterosaur incident, Ji Miaomiao, who was standing to the side, had already learned to observe Ye Yinchuan's expressions. She keenly caught the hint of disapproval in Ye Yinchuan's expression.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stepped forward, humbly asking, "Mr. Kirby, is there—something else that's wrong?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it instantly silenced the entire laboratory.
All the researchers' attention shifted from the holographic projection to Ye Yinchuan.
Have we made a mistake again?
Ye Yinchuan slowly walked forward, meeting the probing gazes of the crowd.
"You've done very well," he said, first offering his approval, then shifting his tone, "but your thinking is still bound by the ingrained 'dinosaur' paradigm."
He stretched out his finger and pointed at the limbs of the Pokémon in the holographic projection.
"Look at its legs. To support its massive body, the AI simulated its leg structure to be too thick, which is a typical characteristic of large, temperate, tropical herbivorous Pokémon."
"But you forget that it lives in an extremely cold, icy world. Walking on slippery ice would only make it difficult and clumsy."
Ye Yinchuan's voice was like that of the most accurate mentor, hitting the nail on the head.
"Therefore, the overall proportions are reduced to be closer to elegance rather than bulkiness."
As he spoke, he gestured to the specialist next to him to make adjustments.
As the parameters changed, the Pokémon's body proportions in the projection underwent a subtle yet harmonious transformation. The slight "strange" feeling that had been there before vanished instantly.
"And its neck," Ye Yinchuan continued, "Its neck is long, but not like a giraffe's, for reaching food high up. Its neck should be like a swan's, presenting a graceful S-shaped curve; that's the posture it should have."
The model was adjusted again, and its elegant temperament became even more prominent.
Finally, Ye Yinchuan's gaze fell on the head of the model.
"The most crucial point is what you've overlooked."
He tapped the console lightly.
"Eye."
"The AI simulated a pair of eyes like those of a typical reptile Pokémon. But that's precisely the most striking feature of it."
A faint smile appeared on Ye Yinchuan's lips.
"Its eyes should be bigger and rounder, like two pure, flawless sapphires."
When the specialist made the final adjustments to the eyes according to his description.
In that instant, everyone in the laboratory held their breath.
It was as if it had been infused with a soul.
The Pokémon in the holographic projection seemed to come alive.
It is no longer a cold data model, but a living, elegant, and sacred being with life and emotions.
Those huge, sapphire-blue eyes were so pure they seemed to cleanse the soul. It tilted its head slightly, curiously surveying this unfamiliar world, its eyes carrying a touch of natural naivety and friendliness.
Its eyes, connected to the pair of ice sails on its head, also emitted a soft and dazzling seven-colored light, like a small aurora surrounding it.
"Buzz—"
A clear and soft chirp came from the analog speaker, like wind chimes gently tinkling on a glacier.
The chat room was bombarded with comments again!
[This is definitely a relative of Milotic from ancient times, it's so beautiful!]
[With that sound, my heart is melting!]
[Host, I'm begging you, stop with the introduction, just tell me how to get it! I'm willing to sell everything I own!]
Professor Ji Miaomiao stared blankly at the perfect figure, then looked at the nonchalant Ye Yinchuan: "Mr. Kirby—what—what's its name?"
Ye Yinchuan turned around, facing the camera and all the viewers who had been completely captivated by this Pokémon.
A gentle smile graced his face.
Its name is Ice Dragon.
"The attributes are rock and ice."
Rocks and ice!
This combination of attributes brought many viewers, who were initially captivated by its good looks, back to reality.
[Rock type? This adorable little thing is telling me it's a Rock type?]
【I don't believe it! This is clearly an ice-fairy hybrid look!】
Forget about any attributes, just be cute!
Ye Yinchuan explained with a smile, "Don't be fooled by its appearance. The Ice Dragon's body is similar to a kind of ice rock, and you can see that its side profile looks like a diamond."
"As I mentioned before, the ice sails on its head can release cold air at -150 degrees Celsius. This is both its weapon and its way of regulating its body temperature."
"The Ice Dragon is an ancient Pokémon with a very gentle temperament. They love peace and are very friendly to humans and other Pokémon. It is said that in ancient times, the night sky over their habitat was always filled with magnificent aurora borealis because they were happily flapping their ice sails."
Ye Yinchuan's every explanation made the image of the Ice and Snow Dragon more vivid and endearing in everyone's minds.
"Of course," he changed the subject, dropping an even more enticing piece of information, "the Ice and Snow Dragon is only its initial form. When it evolves, it will become even taller and more magnificent, becoming a true Ice and Snow Dragon." At that time, the aurora it emits will even cover the entire night sky.
[It can evolve?!]
[The Ice and Snow Dragon! Just hearing the name exudes power and majesty!]
[Oh no, I'm completely hooked! Streamer, does the research institute need someone to sweep the floor? I don't need a salary, I just want to watch Ice and Snow Dragon every day!]
]
Watching the barrage of comments scrolling wildly in the live stream, and surrounded by a group of researchers who had already begun discussing how to optimize the incubation chamber environment to ensure the Ice Dragon could have the most comfortable life after its resurrection, Ye Yinchuan nodded in satisfaction.
Another beautiful ancient Pokémon is about to reappear in the world.
The feeling of personally awakening treasures buried in the long river of history from their dust is truly wonderful.
His gaze shifted from the holographic projection of the ice dragon to another corner of the laboratory.
There, the restoration simulation of the "Feather Fossil" has also been put on the agenda.
