Chapter Summaries

Ye Yinchuan and Xiao Mian obtained Wyrdeer’s Black Augurite after Wyrdeer defeated the Stantler herd’s former leader.

• Ye Yinchuan calmed Wyrdeer and negotiated for Black Augurite, while Xiao Mian agreed to trade for the single piece Wyrdeer offered.
• Wyrdeer led Ye Yinchuan and Xiao Mian to the Stantler herd, where the scarred former leader challenged it for dominance.
• Wyrdeer stopped the former leader’s Take Down with a powerful mental barrier, and the defeated Stantler submitted to Wyrdeer.
• Wyrdeer had a herd member bring Black Augurite to Ye Yinchuan, who asked Xiao Mian what he would offer in exchange.

• Ye Yinchuan accepted the trade and then looked toward Wyrdeer again, prompting it to sense his intent.

Ye Yinchuan traded a Superpower Berry seed with Wyrdeer for its Black Augurite, then encountered Totodile, Feraligatr, and Petilil beside a pond. After Totodile bullied Petilil and Petilil tried to defend itself without hurting it, Feraligatr suddenly attacked Petilil.

• Ye Yinchuan offered Wyrdeer a Superpower Berry seed, and Wyrdeer exchanged the Black Augurite from its antlers for it.
• Wyrdeer planned to grow the Berry and share it with its herd so more Stantler might evolve.
• Ye Yinchuan and Trainer Xiao Mian parted ways, and Ye Yinchuan continued exploring until he reached a pond.
• Ye Yinchuan found Feraligatr watching over Totodile while Petilil drank nearby.
• Totodile harassed Petilil and damaged its leaves, so Petilil used Magical Leaf to defend itself but deliberately missed Totodile.
• Feraligatr suddenly sprang up and lunged at Petilil with its jaws open.

Ye Yinchuan ordered Decidueye to protect Petilil from Feraligatr, and Decidueye defeated the aggressive Feraligatr in battle. After Milotic healed Feraligatr, Ye Yinchuan explained the Pokémon’s moves to his viewers and decided he wanted to catch Petilil.

• Feraligatr charged at Petilil, so Ye Yinchuan sent Decidueye to stop it.
• Decidueye used Shadow Stitching to interrupt Feraligatr’s attack while Cottonee carried Petilil to safety.
• Ye Yinchuan rejected the idea of catching Feraligatr and Totodile, then told Decidueye to teach them a lesson.

• Petilil asked Decidueye to spare Feraligatr, and Ye Yinchuan sent Milotic to heal the defeated Pokémon.
• Ye Yinchuan decided he wanted to catch Petilil and explained the battle’s moves to his viewers.

Ye Yinchuan identified a wounded, solitary Nosepass in Crystal Light Forest and deduced that a Metang or Metagross had been hunting it. As Metagross approached, Ye Yinchuan realized Nosepass was struggling toward a place that might let it evolve and face its enemy.

• Ye Yinchuan used his Appraisal Eye to identify the isolated Pokémon as a fatigued, lonely Level 33 Nosepass that longed to evolve.
• Ye Yinchuan explained that pale blue Ice Field Moss showed Nosepass had come from the ice fields, and he inferred that it had survived a disaster that struck its group.
• Ye Yinchuan recognized Nosepass's severe wounds as evidence that Metang or Metagross had hunted it, while Nosepass's desire to evolve suggested it wanted revenge.
• Ye Yinchuan learned that Metagross left metal fragments in Nosepass's wounds to prevent healing and track its prey, then heard a heavy object approaching at high speed.
• Ye Yinchuan realized Nosepass was forcing itself toward a place with a special magnetic field or another means of evolution, possibly to confront Metagross.

Ye Yinchuan intervened when Metagross attacked Nosepass, and his Pokémon drew the predator into battle. Incineroar and Whimsicott combined their moves to withstand Metagross’s assault, leaving the fight ongoing.

• Metagross crashed down on Nosepass and began eating it while Nosepass’s attacks failed to hurt it.

• Ye Yinchuan calmed Metagross by offering it high-quality ores instead of Nosepass, then watched the injured Nosepass crawl toward the Crystal Forest.
• Nosepass gathered its last strength, leaped into the Crystal Forest, and vanished into a hidden space that Ye Yinchuan and his Pokémon entered after it.

Ye Yinchuan identified the Three Legendary Beasts and their accompanying Pokémon as illusions created by a powerful Zoroark, then learned that Zoroark’s clan had once been abducted for experiments intended to trap the world in an illusory utopia. Zoroark began recounting its past, leaving Ye Yinchuan waiting to hear how the plan had ended.

• Ye Yinchuan explained Zorua and Zoroark’s Illusion abilities and described how their illusions had fooled Probopass and reached the livestream audience.
• Zoroark allowed Ye Yinchuan to take a Zorua if one chose to go with him, and Ye Yinchuan decided to select one from the clan.

Ye Yinchuan inspected Zorua and Zoroark to choose a companion, discovering one Zorua with the rare Egg Move Future Sight and another whose Drunkard Trait strengthened its Illusions when it drank. After Zoroark offered the troublesome drunkard Zorua as a bonus, Ye Yinchuan agreed to take both.

• Ye Yinchuan showed the Ho-Oh Feather to the assembled clan and used his Appraisal Eye to assess the Zorua and Zoroark.

• Zoroark noticed a Zorua was missing and led Ye Yinchuan to Shuckle’s nest, where the absent Zorua was drinking fermented juice.
• Ye Yinchuan discovered that the Zorua had the Drunkard Trait, which empowered its Illusions while it was intoxicated but could make them indiscriminate.
• Zoroark offered Illusion Stones and said Ye Yinchuan could take the drunkard Zorua along with whichever other clan member he chose.
• Ye Yinchuan accepted the offer, agreeing to take both the drunkard Zorua and the Zorua with Future Sight.

Ye Yinchuan caught the drunkard Zorua and the Future Sight Zorua, named them Little Drunkard and Little Psychic, and prepared to leave the Zoroark clan with their gifts. After arranging a secret link to the clan’s hidden space and explaining Shuckle’s juice and Fruit Wine, he released the newly evolved Probopass, which emerged eager to challenge Metagross.

• Ye Yinchuan used Stantler’s pearl to resist the drunkard Zorua’s powerful Illusion, calmed it, and caught the Future Sight Zorua with ease.
• Ye Yinchuan shared a Berry feast with the Zoroark clan, then persuaded the awakened drunkard Zorua to join him by promising Berries and Fruit Wine.

• Ye Yinchuan released Probopass, which had completed its evolution and immediately sought revenge on Metagross.

Ye Yinchuan let Probopass pursue its revenge against Metagross while explaining Probopass’s unusual reproduction and introducing the term “pseudo-legendary Pokémon.” Probopass found Metagross in a cave and, despite being badly outmatched, landed a powerful combination that shattered part of its opponent’s armor.

• Ye Yinchuan respected Probopass’s determination to fight Metagross and followed it as it searched for its enemy.
• While Probopass tracked Metagross with its Little Nosepass, Ye Yinchuan explained how the components could reproduce and described Metagross as a pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
• Probopass found Metagross in a cave filled with glowing Pokémon, and Ye Yinchuan waited outside while the two battled.
• Metagross emerged with Probopass badly injured, but Probopass unleashed electric, fire, and ice beams before striking with a Stone Edge that broke Metagross’s armor.

Ye Yinchuan captured Probopass after it helped drive off Metagross, then entered the cave to investigate the Crystal Light Bud and rescue those injured in the battle. As he examined the poisonous Rock-type Pokémon, one of the wounded Crystal Light Bud began to evolve.

• Metagross attacked Probopass with Arm Thrust, but Snorlax and Whimsicott fought it off while Probopass used its magnetic power to prevent its escape.
• Metagross broke free and fled, and Ye Yinchuan comforted Probopass before Milotic healed it and it willingly entered a Poké Ball.

• Ye Yinchuan found Crystal Light Bud injured or shattered by the battle and had Milotic save those still alive.
• Ye Yinchuan explained that Crystal Light Bud's crystalline body was poisonous, then saw an injured one begin to evolve.

Ye Yinchuan watched Crystal Light Bud evolve into Glimmora, calmed its mistaken hostility, and followed it deeper into the cave to receive a gift. Glimmora led him to an unmistakably Terastallized Sandshrew.

• The surrounding Crystal Light Buds defended Ye Yinchuan's group, and Glimmora recognized they were not enemies and apologized.
• Glimmora thanked Ye Yinchuan for helping its companions and led him deeper into the cave to give him something.
• Ye Yinchuan marked the winding cave route and followed Glimmora until they found a Sandshrew in a dazzling Terastallized form.

Ye Yinchuan encountered a rare Electric-type Terastallized Sandshrew and explained its nature to his viewers, claiming he had learned about Terastallization from ancient texts. He won Sandshrew over with food and affection, then began discussing Terastallization as the Pokémon joined his group.

• Ye Yinchuan began explaining that Terastallization was temporary and relied on special energy, while admitting that many mysteries remained.

Ye Yinchuan explained Terastallization and found a vast deposit of Tera Ore after Glimmora led him through the cavern. He let Lairon, Sableye, and Solrock cautiously absorb the ore, and Lairon was the first to react as its hidden potential awakened.
