I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

Ye Feng was immediately displeased.

However, he wasn't too disappointed.

I have three stone tablets and the ring now, so I'll give it a try. If that doesn't work, I can try using the three gems to repair it...

The Jar of Punishment is indeed broken now, albeit completely broken, but what if it can be repaired? After all, it contains energy left behind by Arceus.

If that doesn't work, Ye Feng will have to search for stone slabs with water and ground attributes, but that will be difficult...

"The matter of the Judgment Jar is now in your hands..." Gu Yangzhou paused, then said in a heavy tone, "I'm sorry to place such an important task on your shoulders alone..."

"But right now, only you can communicate amicably with those mythical beasts; we can't even see them..."

"It's nothing, it's what I should do," Ye Feng said nonchalantly.

If he didn't know, that would be one thing, but now that Ye Feng has encountered such a situation, and he has the ability to do it, how could he possibly refuse?

"Hmm..." Gu Yangzhou nodded, and after a while said, "Have you encountered any difficulties in training your Pokémon recently?"

He couldn't help much with the Punishment Jar matter, so he could only make up for Ye Feng's shortcomings in other ways.

What Gu Yangzhou could do most easily was to provide Ye Feng with various resources and solve his problems in elf training, so that Ye Feng's strength could improve as soon as possible and he could protect himself if he encountered any danger.

"Hmm... My Pokémon's strength has already reached the advanced level bottleneck. Now the problem is how to break through to the master level..." Ye Feng thought for a moment and replied.

"Well... that can only be achieved through the accumulation of time. Breaking through to the Master level isn't easy," Gu Yangzhou sighed helplessly.

Gu Yangzhou didn't offer any good advice, but Ye Feng wasn't too disappointed. He had already vaguely sensed that the elves' strength was showing signs of weakening.

This was especially evident after a battle with Articuno.

It seems that the battles are not ineffective, but only sufficiently strong opponents can create pressure and achieve the desired training effect.

Of course, Mega Evolution can also help break through this threshold, but in the end, it is still a temporary boost to strength with the help of external forces. It is not the end of a Pokémon's growth, and the Pokémon's own potential has not been truly explored.

Furthermore, above the advanced level are Master level, Quasi-Legendary level, Legendary level, and so on...

There's also the Phoenix King, who transcends even the legendary level; Ye Feng felt that was his ultimate goal.

He still has a long way to go.

Chapter 327 World Masters Tournament and New Trainers

"President, there's one more thing I need to ask of you," Ye Feng said.

"What is it?" Gu Yangzhou looked up.

"Regarding the paper on Mega Evolution... all that's missing now is to collect detailed data on Pokémon before and after Mega Evolution, but as you know, the sample size is too small, so..."

"This..." Gu Yangzhou hesitated.

He also knew what Ye Feng meant. The sample size was too small, and relying solely on his own Gardevoir to collect data was completely insufficient—Ye Feng hadn't told anyone about secretly keeping the Mega Stones for Gyarados and Aggron, nor for Charizard.

Even including these three, it's still not enough.

Therefore, Ye Feng also wanted several master trainers to help provide data, including Master Yu's Alakazam, Master Wang's Blastoise, and Master Ye's Tyranitar.

The paper on Mega Evolution is only missing data, but the other one, the research on Bond Evolution... is being written—meaning the document has been created.

Without a single successful example, no matter how much Ye Feng writes, it's all just imagination, so he can only leave it for now.

"It's almost September, and there's something very important that they can't spare the time right now." Gu Yangzhou tapped his fingers on the table, his brows furrowed.

"September?" Ye Feng was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "You mean the World Masters Tournament in mid-September?"

“That’s right,” Gu Yangzhou nodded. “This is the most important competition. We can’t afford to make any mistakes. To ensure victory in the Masters Tournament, Mega Evolution will inevitably be revealed during the competition.”

"That's why I'm in a hurry for you to finish your thesis."

"As long as we take control of Mega Evolution, coupled with our complete victory in the Masters Tournament, China's international standing will surpass that of the United States, making us number one in the world!"

Gu Yangzhou clenched his fists, his eyes filled with passion and fervor.

This Masters tournament will be his last in office if nothing unexpected happens. If he can achieve brilliant results this time, then Gu Yangzhou can retire peacefully, with honor.

Ye Feng felt his heart skip a beat, and his breathing became rapid involuntarily.

Gu Yangzhou plans to use Mega Evolution as his trump card at the World Masters Tournament, thereby crushing other countries.

This trump card was provided by Ye Feng...

How could one not be excited if their own discovery could lead their country to the pinnacle of success?

The paper on Mega Evolution will definitely be published under Ye Feng's name, which will undoubtedly attract worldwide attention. How much will his fame and status rise then? It's unimaginable!

Gu Yangzhou noticed Ye Feng's excitement and smiled, saying, "Little Feng, hurry up, this is your best chance to become famous, and I plan to announce the energy cube at the same time."

"..." Ye Feng was already feeling a little dizzy.

The effects of the Energy Cube have been fully demonstrated, and China itself has benefited greatly, as can be seen from the significant increase in the trainer advancement success rate this year.

Other countries are also very envious. Although they have been working hard to crack the secrets and have made some progress, the saying goes that if you are one step ahead, you will be ahead in every step. China has undoubtedly benefited the most from this.

The inventor of the energy cube remains unknown to the outside world; if this were ever revealed…

"Is this okay?" Ye Feng asked absentmindedly.

“There’s nothing wrong with that. Research in the Pokémon world has stagnated for a long time. It’s time for an earthquake. The emergence of Power Cubes and Mega Evolution will inevitably bring about a new era, and for the arrival of this new era, we need a hero…” Gu Yangzhou scrutinized Ye Feng with a profound gaze.

"Hero..." Ye Feng's pupils contracted slightly, and he whispered, "You mean...me?"

Gu Yangzhou squinted and nodded slowly but forcefully.

"..." Ye Feng's mouth went dry, his heart filled with tension and excitement.

"I...I understand!" Ye Feng said loudly, his body tense and his voice trembling slightly.

"Very good!" Gu Yangzhou smiled with satisfaction. "I'll give you three days to deal with the Punishment Jar. After that, you'll focus all your energy on completing your paper on Mega Evolution. It's impossible for me to accompany you the whole time, but I'll have Master Trainers take turns making time for you to collect data. Make sure you do your best."

“Okay!” Ye Feng said, “In addition, I need several advanced trainers to provide data, not just master trainers. There is a difference in the boost brought by advanced and master level Mega Evolution.”

"The characteristics of the spirits also need to be different..."

“No problem. Just give me a list of the Pokémon and resources you need, and I’ll arrange for someone trustworthy to work with you.” Gu Yangzhou nodded.

"it is good."

···

Even after Ye Feng left the association headquarters, he was still somewhat dazed.

Heroes... a word that was once unattainable, is now almost right in front of me, waiting to be claimed...

Will I, Ye Feng, be written into history books?

There should be a fill-in-the-blank question in the college entrance exam where my name is the answer, right?

Or, to be bolder, what if there's a short answer question specifically about me?

As Ye Feng imagined future scenarios, he strolled around casually and unknowingly arrived at a public battlefield.

He looked at the rookie trainers battling on the field and a look of reminiscence crossed his face, as if he were seeing his own first time standing on a public battle field and battling someone.

Come to think of it, I've been in this world for three years now, since I transmigrated from my second year of high school.

Three years is neither a short nor a long time, but the scenes from that time seem like a lifetime ago.

"Hello, wanna have a match?" Just as Ye Feng was reminiscing about the past, a slightly childish voice suddenly rang in his ear.

Ye Feng snapped out of his daze and glanced at the person. It was a cute boy with a round face and thick-rimmed glasses. He looked about his age. He seemed very nervous; his fingers were white as he gripped the Poké Ball.

"You want to fight me?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.

"Hmm... I've seen you looking around here for a while now. Haven't found a suitable opponent yet?" the boy asked.

"I guess so." Ye Feng suppressed a laugh. That wasn't wrong; there were no suitable opponents here.

"Want to have a match with me?" the boy asked nervously.

"Is this your first time fighting?" Ye Feng asked curiously. This boy was too nervous. When he fought before, he was very smooth and efficient.

"Yes, that's right." Yu Yuyu answered hesitantly. Although she had mustered up the courage to challenge him, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Ye Feng looks so calm, he doesn't seem like a rookie trainer at all, even though he looks about the same age as me.

Hmm? This boy's mental strength... Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.

"Sure, I'll play a match with you then," Ye Feng said with a smile, leading the way to an empty area.

"What's your name?"

“My name is Yu Yuyu,” Yu Yuyu replied as he caught up.

"..." It sounds a bit like a girl's name, Ye Feng muttered to himself. "My name is Ye Feng."

"Hello, Ye Feng." That name sounds familiar. Yu Yuyu paused for a moment.

Upon arriving at the venue, the two stood facing each other.

"You go first," Ye Feng gestured.

"Okay, go ahead, Green... Ouch!" Yu Yuyu screamed as the Poké Ball went astray.

The onlookers burst into laughter.

However, since almost everyone here is a new trainer, it's common for them to throw their Poké Balls off-target, so the laughter wasn't meant to mock them.
