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

Although Ye Feng really wanted to control Bond Evolution, or at least China, there were people in other countries who were quite knowledgeable about Pokémon evolution, and their level was definitely higher than his, a half-baked researcher.

Just as the appearance of Sylveon led to the discovery of Espeon and Umbreon, after the announcement of Mega Evolution, Bond Phenomena will definitely be discovered sooner or later.

Besides, Ye Feng's purpose in handing over Mega Evolution was to improve the level of humanity in order to deal with the future chaos of divine beasts, so there was no need to be too definitive.

"Dr. Ye, is the Mega Evolution you mentioned a power that can be popularized?" Another person raised their hand to ask.

Ye Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps it's possible in the future, but for now, it seems that at least a high-level trainer is needed."

"Why?"

"The stronger the Pokémon, the greater the boost from Mega Evolution, because they have already fully explored their own power. To continue to improve, they need to unleash their inner potential."

"While Mega Evolution can improve the strength of weaker Pokémon, it's not as worthwhile as continuing to train their own abilities. After all, as I said, Key Stones and Mega Stones are not plentiful, and not everyone has the opportunity to obtain them."

"Furthermore, Mega Evolution also requires a certain level of mental strength from the trainer. If the trainer is distracted by training their mental strength when their strength is insufficient, it will hinder their progress. I don't think this is suitable for long-term development."

"We need to think about the future," Ye Feng concluded with a double entendre.

However, only those who knew about the chaos caused by the divine beasts, such as Gu Yangzhou, could understand these words.

The person who asked the question nodded and sat back down.

Although it cannot be widely adopted, it is already quite remarkable that it can raise the ceiling of a trainer's strength.

"Dr. Ye, Mega Evolution seems wonderful, but this power comes too easily. Won't it make trainers become passive and stop actively improving their strength?"

"No. As I said, Mega Evolution is only a temporary boost, and its duration is affected by the trainer's mental strength and the Pokémon's own attributes. It can't be considered a regular power; it's more like a... well, a trump card-like method."

···

The Q&A session lasted a long time before it ended, and Ye Feng was almost overwhelmed by a barrage of questions.

Fortunately, he was prepared, and he had Foreign Minister Zhao Hongshuo with him.

Ye Feng answered questions about Mega Evolution; Zhao Hongshuo stopped everyone else from answering anything unrelated to that.

Gu Yangzhou tapped the table and winked at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was taken aback, then realized what he meant and asked in a low voice, "Let me say it myself?"

Gu Yangzhou nodded.

Ye Feng nodded. After being bombarded with questions, he was already quite adept at handling such situations.

So he stood up.

As he stood up, the discussion in the hall immediately stopped, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Feng.

Ye Feng took a deep breath and said, "Mega evolution can raise the ceiling of a trainer's strength. So, have you all thought about how to lower the threshold for trainers, or rather, professional trainers?"

Everyone was taken aback and looked at each other.

While there are almost no requirements to become a trainer, becoming a professional trainer is not so simple, as raising Pokémon requires a lot of resources.

Ye Feng waited patiently. The president had said that he couldn't answer this question himself; he had to wait for someone else to say it. If no one else knew the answer, then he would have to answer it himself.

"Dr. Ye is talking about... Energy Cubes?" As Ye Feng expected, someone answered the question quickly.

“That’s right,” Ye Feng said with a smile. “I think everyone is very clear about the function of the energy cube, right?”

"Of course, energy cubes are arguably the best nutritional supplement right now. My current Pokémon eats them."

"Me too."

"Me too."

"The effect is indeed very good, and there are also various special energy cubes that target the various attributes of the Pokémon."

"That's right, I'm talking about the Energy Cube."

"Before the advent of Energy Cubes, I believe that none of you here would lack the money to buy all kinds of high-end nutritional supplements, but what about trainers from ordinary or even impoverished backgrounds?" Ye Feng asked.

Everyone looked at each other.

“Mega Evolution raises a trainer’s potential, while Energy Cubes lower a trainer’s potential…” Ye Feng paused here, noticing the curious looks from the crowd, and continued.

"Although it may sound a bit boastful, I want to proudly tell you that the Energy Cube... was also invented by me."

Chapter 365 Dr. Ye

"Wow! I'm exhausted!"

Back in the lounge, Ye Feng collapsed, burying his face in the soft sofa.

"You've had a hard day," Gu Yangzhou said with a smile.

"It's alright." Ye Feng scratched his head.

Today was arguably the most glorious moment of his two lifetimes. No matter how hard he worked, it was all worth it. Just thinking about the shocked expressions on the trainers' faces when he revealed that he was the one who invented the Energy Cube made Ye Feng feel a sense of satisfaction.

"Xiao Feng, you really... surprised me quite a bit." Deng Ruizhe walked in.

"Ah... Teacher, I..." Ye Feng quickly sat up.

Deng Ruizhe waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm very happy to have trained a student like you."

Ye Feng scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

“From now on, we’re in the same class, Dr. Ye!” Deng Ruizhe winked at Ye Feng and joked.

"Huh?" Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, those people made that call without permission..."

"Hey! Don't rush." ​​Gu Yangzhou held Ye Feng down. "They're not just making random noises."

"What do you mean?" Ye Feng looked at Gu Yangzhou blankly.

"Back when we decided to announce Mega Evolution and Energy Cube, I had already applied to the higher-ups for your title of Doctor of Pokémon Studies. Judging by the timeline, the process should be almost complete, and the documents should be issued in the next couple of days." Gu Yangzhou patted Ye Feng on the shoulder.

"..." Ye Feng stared wide-eyed at Gu Yangzhou, then looked at Deng Ruizhe.

Deng Ruizhe was somewhat surprised, but not too surprised, and nodded with a smile.

"Master, you've taken it upon yourself again..." Ye Feng complained softly, "My dream is clearly to become a Master Trainer..."

"Hehe, such a significant invention naturally deserves a fitting status," Gu Yangzhou said with a nonchalant smile. "I wonder what expressions Dr. You and Dr. Hong will have when they hear this news?"

Ye Feng paused for a moment, feeling that the two names sounded somewhat familiar.

Searching his memory for the two people, he quickly remembered them and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

These two PhDs were the ones I had strongly urged Ye Feng to pursue a research career with when I submitted the energy cube to Gu Yangzhou...

I once vowed to become a trainer, and research was just a hobby...

Energizer cubes were bad enough, but then they came up with Mega Evolution. He's about to be awarded a PhD in Pokémon Studies...

Although he was still some distance from becoming a master trainer, he unexpectedly reached a pinnacle in research that was difficult for others to reach. This can be described as "planting flowers with good intentions but failing, while willows planted unintentionally thrived".

"Yes, with the introduction of Power Cubes and Mega Evolution, Trainers' strength will increase rapidly, but the differentiation will also become more pronounced. Perhaps we should consider re-categorizing the levels. The current levels have been used for too many years and are becoming somewhat crude," Gu Yangzhou suddenly said.

"Rank?" Ye Feng's eyes darted around. "Does the Grand Master have something in mind?"

"A little," Gu Yangzhou nodded. "A detailed classification needs to be reported to the Pokémon League for discussion, but I think for now we should first create a new level above Master. Master is no longer the pinnacle; above that are Quasi-Legendary and Legendary levels..."

"How about the Heavenly King?" Ye Feng asked hurriedly.

"Heavenly King?" Gu Yangzhou was taken aback.

"Yes, and then above the Elite Four, we can establish a Champion level, for the strongest among all trainers," Ye Feng said excitedly.

He had long felt that the trainer ranking system was too simplistic and a bit unpleasant to listen to, but after learning more about it, he realized that it was a system that had been in use for many years and that he couldn't change it, so he gradually accepted it.

Now that Gu Yangzhou had this idea, Ye Feng immediately mentioned the two titles he missed very much.

"Hmm, 'Heavenly King' actually sounds pretty good." Gu Yangzhou stroked his chin. "If 'Heavenly King' corresponds to the Quasi-Legendary level, then 'Champion'... corresponds to the Legendary level?"

"I think it's unnecessary." Ye Feng was taken aback. The Guild Master truly lived up to his title; even mentioning "Legendary" so casually... "Legendary..."

"Oh, I was just assuming that." Gu Yangzhou slapped his forehead and laughed.

Ye Feng also laughed.

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's grab some food and head back," Gu Yangzhou said, glancing at the time.

Ye Feng then realized he was starving, his stomach churning. He quickly stood up and said, "Let's go!"

···

After dinner, I parted ways with Gu Yangzhou and the others.

Ye Feng returned to the World Tree without stopping.

Ye Feng hadn't noticed it before, but after Little Hoopa left, he found it really inconvenient to travel to and from the World Tree.

First, you need to leave the no-fly zone, then send a signal to Mew so that Latios can come and pick you up. This round trip will take a lot of time.

I don't mean to complain about Togekiss flying, but it's just too slow... Latios can fly much faster than a jet plane.

"Is everything resolved?" Dreamy lay on a rock, looking at Ye Feng with lazy eyes.

Ye Feng nodded.

"Let's continue training tomorrow," Dream said, then closed her eyes.
