Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 229 Four Heavenly Kings Kona

Except for the silent single sword sheath, no one else present noticed the specialness of this "sunny day".

As the activity level of the surrounding fire energy reached saturation, Bulbasaur suddenly found that his senses and thinking had become much sharper!
Seeing this, Nanami immediately tested it.

According to the rich data on the three great families of Kanto within the Oak Research Institute, Bulbasaur is a relatively "slow" and leisurely creature.

But after having "Sunny Day", Xiaozhi, the lonely traveler, has greatly improved his reaction, accuracy, flexibility and agility, which is obviously different from his usual state.

There is no doubt that after eating the trial-sized special capsule, Bulbasaur temporarily acquired the "chlorophyll" special property!
"This state is only temporary. If it is not cleared by others, it can last for about 1 day. But as long as it can use this time to master it, it can maintain the "chlorophyll" characteristics normally even without the assistance of "characteristic exchange" in the future."

After all, the capsules developed by Link and Firefox are essentially targeted "characteristic exchange" plus imitation vanilla that can greatly inspire the elves' thinking. In the final analysis, it only provides the elves with a learning opportunity that is difficult to come by under normal circumstances.

Upon hearing this, Professor Oak said excitedly: "It is enough to enlighten the elves and improve their subjective initiative."

Nanami gasped after hearing this. It was so cold. Grandpa really was always finding opportunities to improvise.

"Actually, I have to thank Xiaosong from the Snow Peak Gym in the Sinnoh region. If she hadn't inspired me to train the 'illegal' characteristics of the Pokémon, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of making this thing so quickly..."

Link sighed, he was getting closer and closer to the profession of magician. So when would he be able to invent the "special ointment" that could allow elves to gain the special properties given to their bodies?

It feels not feasible.

In any case, although trait capsules do seem magical at the moment, there are still many limitations that are still unclear.

With this level of assistance, how long will it take for the elves to master new features?
Although Link guarantees that it is safe and harmless and can be eaten by humans, can young elves whose characteristics have not yet been fully developed withstand its effects? Will there be unknown side effects?
If learning repeatedly does not result in the need to eat frequently, will the health of the elf be affected?
“Can’t it be made into honey?” Nanami wondered if this boy was promoting his own ranch.

"One of the ingredients that promotes thinking comes from a kind of vanilla. The extract may also have an effect, but I think the elves will prefer it if it retains the taste. Why suffer when you can become stronger happily?"

Professor Oak nodded, he liked it too.

Nanami was stunned for a moment before she realized that this was a "tasting package". However, she would just have to make sure that some elves loved to eat so much that she pretended she hadn't learned how to eat and drink for free.

But they still need to do a lot of experimentation before considering whether to launch capsules as opposed to sample packs.

So he provided several kilograms of honey that had been prepared before Fire Fox went out on vacation, and Professor Oak directly transferred a large number of Bulbasaur seeds from the League.

The huge backyard of the research institute was suddenly filled with the croaking of frogs.

Link no longer needed to be involved in the subsequent data collection. As it was a rare opportunity for him to come to the research institute, he was not in a hurry to leave. He threw Fei Da into the backyard and started studying the Pokémon data of the Kanto region in the data room.

"Well, every year, the number of people who choose Charmander is as overwhelming as I expected, but why are there so many trainers who choose Chikorita?"

While curiously browsing the records of the three starter Pokémons received over the years, he found that the number of starter Pokémons received in the Kanto region was stratified in a cliff-like manner, with the top-tier Charmander accounting for more than 50% of the population, followed by Crocodile from the Johto region, then Charmeleon, Bulbasaur, Chikorita, and Squirtle.

Why is Turtle so cute and not popular? "In comparison, the proportion of new trainers who have different Pokémons that have cleared the gym each year is highest for Crocodile, followed by Charmander, Squirtle, Charmeleon, Bulbasaur, and Chikorita."

This aspect did not exceed his expectations.

It is worth mentioning that not every new trainer will apply to the League for starter Pokémon with grass, fire, or water attributes. A large number of them also choose starter Pokémon provided by gym owners in local or nearby cities.

Among them, Pokémon such as Electabuzz from Vermilion City, Nidoran from Crimson City, Nidoran and Brachiator from Cerulean City seem to be very popular, perhaps because their evolution is relatively simple.

And due to the prevalence of the "bug catching trend", there are actually more trainers who choose not to use the starter Pokémon provided by the League, and instead just catch a Pokémon on the roadside or go to the mountains to catch a few Caterpillars and Beetles before setting off than those who choose starter Pokémon.

If Link had traveled to this world before, he would definitely not understand.

However, the popularity of "Bug Catcher" in the Pokémon world is comparable to that of a star. In the eyes of many recreational trainers, the rare bugs they catch in the mountains are much better than any beginner Pokémon.

The key point is "precious". How can something that is delivered by clicking be better than something that you have worked hard to get?
Link could totally understand this...

"Compared to this, Chikorita seems to be the more miserable one."

Just when he was curious about whether there was a trainer in the history of the league who had trained Chikorita to a high level, he learned from Nanami that a guest from the Quartz League had come and asked to see him.

After arriving at the living room, a tall and slender female office lady in black clothes, red hair and glasses came into view.

This auntie was someone he had met before—Miss Kona, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto region.

Coming from the Seventh Island, Kona, who is known for his rich knowledge and calmness, is the most popular member of the Elite Four and the idol of a certain savage mermaid.

Link couldn't help but feel curious. How did the Four Heavenly Kings suddenly find him?
But none of this matters.

"Ms. Kona, can you have a 6-on-6 full-scale battle with me?"

"what?"

Even if an eye contact was a signal for battle, this challenge came too suddenly.

Kona was stunned for a moment, then gladly accepted the challenge: "No problem, but before that I still have some business to attend to... Hello Xiaolin, I believe I don't need to introduce myself. The Kanto Alliance highly respects your thesis and ideas on cultivating elves. I wonder if you are interested in some deeper cooperation with the Pokémon League?"

Hearing this, Link subconsciously looked at Nanami.

The latter explained: "After you submitted your first paper, the Alliance has been looking for you to cooperate. Unfortunately, you have been nowhere to be seen. It is even harder to find you than the elves wandering around the region."

"After all, I'm very busy. Cooperating with the Alliance in research will also be of great help to me. As long as Ms. Kona can beat me in combat, I will accept this invitation."
