Chapter 412 Be Prepared

Alliance Year 200, September 29.

Eminem was in the room at this time, looking at the detailed information on "Weak Tench" in the illustrated book, even including some related papers...

Although there was no signal on the ship, Eminem had been thinking about the "Weak Tench" for a long time, so when he was in Ashwood Town, he downloaded its detailed information while there was a signal.

Tench, the weakest Pokémon known in the world - in the game, its racial value is 175, but in this real Pokémon world, its racial value is...incalculable.

After all, the race value is originally a statistical value of human beings. When it is weak enough to be an outlier in statistics, it is difficult to give it a numerical value under a set of calculations - just like when the level is low, the estimation of combat effectiveness is actually difficult. Yes, theoretically, the difference in combat power between level 1 and level 2 Pokémon is nearly double, but in reality it is a 50-50 split. Only when a certain level is reached does "combat power" become a meaningful statistic!

Because "Weak Tench" is too weak, it was only recognized as a Pokémon after the Alliance Era. A single "Weak Tench" basically cannot exert much combat power...

"What are you doing looking at the information about Tench?" Xiao Ai looked at Eminem in confusion.

"I think... the tench is quite special." Ammu tentatively replied - after all, Ammu didn't know whether his idea could be realized at this time, so he didn't speak too safely.

"Indeed, such a weak Pokémon has academic significance in classifying Pokémon and ordinary animals." Xiao Ai actually nodded seriously.

It seems that she is surprised - you can actually see the "academic significance"?

Indeed, there are of course ordinary animals in this world, and there are far more types than Pokémon...

There are millions of types of "animals" that have been discovered, but there are only thousands of Pokémon. If Pokémon in an evolutionary chain are counted as one type, there are only a few hundred species.

It is said that there is an absolute barrier between the two.

Not only is it "powerful", but there are also many Pokémon-specific properties, such as "egg group reproduction", "evolution", "high growth range", "mastering the power of various systems"... and the most important "convergent evolution"!

From a biological perspective, the biggest difference between Pokémon and ordinary animals is not the power they possess, but the fact that they have very few subspecies...

With the diversity of Pokémon forms, it is said that there should be tens of thousands of species - however, they have evolved too "convergently", and there are almost no subspecies or branches.

In essence, this is also determined by the genetic expression form of Pokémon, which is completely different from ordinary animals.

Regarding the explosion of Pokémon species two million years ago, one theory of origin is that a special force caused countless species of creatures, possibly tens of thousands or even more species, to begin to evolve in a highly similar direction— —At that time, hundreds of animals will evolve in the same direction, and within a few generations, this convergent evolution will be completed.

Of course, because this kind of thing is a bit too mysterious to think about, the idea of ​​"alien visitors" is even more popular.

In short... there is an essential difference between Pokémon and animals. It does not mean that animals become stronger when they become Pokémon. In fact, some weak Pokémon are not as effective as beasts in the wild.

It's just that before the Alliance Era, humans didn't have the concept of "science". At that time, they were only distinguished by strength and weakness, and the weak tench... was too weak!

On land, the living space of "beasts" has basically been squeezed out by Pokémon...

However, there are still many ferocious sharks and other predators in the ocean.

Because "Weak Tench" is too weak and has too low intelligence, this also makes "Weak Tench" the only Pokémon that can be used as food by ferocious ordinary animals!

In the ocean, Pokémon prey on each other more obviously than on land - but generally speaking, they still prey on ordinary animals.

However, because the "weak tench" is too weak and has about the same intelligence as ordinary fish, even smart dolphins and whales cannot match it, it is completely treated as an ordinary animal and even ordinary animals can eat it!

Even in the Alliance Era, various academic categories appeared, and there were so many differences between Pokémon and ordinary animals. At the beginning of the Alliance Era, "Weak Tench" was not discovered to be a Pokémon.

It wasn’t until a hundred years ago that controversy began…

On the one hand, the scope of human activities has expanded. Due to the development of the ocean, the "fish school" effect of tench has been discovered in the distant sea; on the other hand, human beings have developed to the point of "wanting to understand the world." Research scholars The number of fish has increased, and a professional team has demonstrated that the in vitro eggs of "weak tench" are actually a kind of "Pokémon eggs".

This led people to put forward the hypothesis that "Weak Tench is a Pokémon".

It was not until fifty years ago that a genetic laboratory in Alola demonstrated that the genes of "weak tench" are of the same type as Pokémon.

This completely vindicates the name of "weak tench"!

But even so, "Weak Tench" is also listed separately in the Pokémon protection laws of major alliances - a large number of Pokémon protection measures do not include "Weak Tench", only "Prohibited Eating" "Basic measures like this are still there.

Eminem can also understand that the human beings in this world have laws and regulations regarding the protection of Pokémon, and the moral sense they have towards Pokémon is by no means a "holy act", but a matter of course.

After all, the human society in this world can operate to the height it is today, relying on Pokémon, not to mention there are so many real mythical beasts...

The anti-Pokémon society idea of ​​"individual organizations" is destined not to be the mainstream of humans in this world.

"If you have this time, you can help me find a few more gem starfish...the ones above the king level." Nazi couldn't stand it anymore. At this time, Eminem was still reading a book leisurely, so she reminded them.

"Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on it... If there's anyone nearby, I'll find it. What I'm doing now is also very important. It's an extra layer of protection!" Eminem said confidently.

Nazi didn't understand what the relationship between "weak tench" and "security" was, but she didn't ask in detail...

Of course she couldn't guess that Eminem was "accumulating" tench fish!

King-level wild "jewel starfish" are hard to find, but wild "weak tench" are not available in abundance.

Currently, there are hundreds of "weak tench" traveling around the Santeanu - this is the result of Eminem's careful selection. Eminem didn't want any "weak tench" that were too weak individually...

A single "weak tench" has too low a racial value, has no statistical value, cannot mobilize water power, cannot use water skills, and personally speaking, there is no "growth" at all.

However, Eminem discovered that there is still a difference between strong and weak, but... they are all too weak, so it is not obvious.

At the same time, Eminem also discovered that it is the "stronger" "weak tench" that are easier to command and form fish schools.

Without screening, even if Amu uses the [Dragon Scale Talisman], he will not be able to gather more than a thousand "fish schools"!

Now Eminem is also "gathering" and "sifting" at the same time...

I hope to be able to truly gather a decisive number of "tench" with decisive fighting power - before, Eminem had imagined that if he could gather a hundred thousand or one million "tench", wouldn't "Kyogre" also have to do it? Staying away?

But now it seems that this is unrealistic. The "weak tench" itself cannot gather so many.

After all, the "fish school form" is not just about swimming together, but also the energy of the "weak tench" being connected to form a huge group "body"...
