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

Ah, what a strong learning atmosphere! This is what a campus should be like.

As soon as Ye Feng entered the classroom, Ning Xian pulled him aside.

"Hey, what are you doing? It's broad daylight, it's not good if someone sees us." From the corner, Ye Feng looked outside nervously, thankfully no one noticed.

"What are you talking about! I'm talking to you about serious matters." Ning Xian glared at Ye Feng.

"What's wrong?" Ye Feng asked, puzzled.

Ning Xian hesitated for a moment, then said, "My mom found an evolution stone for me."

Ye Feng's heart tightened: "You used it?"

Ning Xian shook his head: "What I got was the Thunder Stone. I originally wanted to give it to Eevee, but I found that Eevee didn't want to evolve. It told me... well, it just didn't want to use the Thunder Stone to evolve and was very resistant."

"Resistant?" Ye Feng frowned.

He taught Eevee to use Charm so that Eevee could learn Fairy-type energy and evolve into Sylveon.

But he was also prepared for Ning Xian to find the evolution stone before the evolution.

But now, judging from Ning Xian's words, Eevee is resisting using the Thunder Stone to evolve?

"Is there something wrong with Ibrahimovic lately?" Ye Feng asked quickly.

Ning Xian thought for a moment, then shook her head: "There's nothing wrong with him, he's still as belligerent as before..."

"...Indeed, just like you." Ye Feng thought to himself.

“However,” Ning Xian suddenly remembered something, “it seems to really like to stick close to me lately.”

Ye Feng stroked his chin. Sylveon did indeed learn Fairy-type moves through Eevee and evolved as its friendship level increased. Sylveon was also very close to its trainer, liking to wrap its ribbon-like tentacles around the trainer's arm to feel the other's feelings.

Could it be...?

"Since Eevee doesn't want to use an evolution stone, then let's not use it for now," Ye Feng said.

Ning Xian nodded. She didn't want to force Eevee, as it might put her at a significant disadvantage in battle, but Eevee wasn't her only Pokémon.

"Also, don't let Eevee appear in the sight of outsiders during this period. It's best to only let it out at home. Also, you need to spend more time with it," Ye Feng continued to instruct.

"Why not let others see it?" Ning Xian asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Just listen to me." Ye Feng patted Ning Xian's head.

Ning Xian blushed slightly and nodded gently.

"Alright, let's go to class."

Watching Ning Xian walk away, Ye Feng took out his phone: "Hey, Uncle-Master, no, Teacher, do you remember the Eevee I mentioned to you last time? Yes, its behavior has been a bit unusual lately, I suspect it's about to evolve. Okay, I'll get them here as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Feng thought for a while and then called Guo Pengfei again.

Since we've already collided, let's just resolve this once and for all.

···

Jiangning City, Little Saw Crocodile Research Institute

Ye Feng, Ning Xian, and Guo Pengfei were standing at the main entrance, looking up at the nameplate above.

"Little Sawtooth Research Institute... Boss, the person you're taking us to see isn't Dr. Deng Ruizhe, is it?" Gu Pengfei asked excitedly.

Ning Xian also looked at Ye Feng in surprise.

Ye Feng nodded: "Someone will be here to pick us up soon."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Li Yue appeared in their sight.

"Ye Feng, oh no, I should call you Junior Brother from now on. You've arrived." Li Yue walked up and greeted them with a smile.

"This is Ning Xian, and this is Guo Pengfei," Ye Feng introduced them.

The three of them introduced themselves to each other.

"Let's go, the teacher is waiting for you." Li Yue turned around and led the way.

"Boss, your senior sister? She's so beautiful." Guo Pengfei whispered to Ye Feng.

"I suggest you don't get involved with her." Recalling Li Yue's crazy behavior when she was conducting experiments in the lab, Ye Feng couldn't help but shudder. Although they weren't evil experiments, he still found them a bit terrifying.

Ning Xian glanced at Li Yue's back, then at Ye Feng, pursed her lips, stepped forward, and gently hooked her little finger with Ye Feng's.

Ye Feng looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Ning Xian pouted slightly and didn't say anything.

Ye Feng smiled, guessing what was going on, and took the small hand in his own.

Ning Xian's eyebrows twitched, and her face turned red.

Guo Pengfei sniffed, and what was that sour, foul smell? Woof!

Chapter 80 Eevee's Imminent Evolution

Reaching a door, Li Yue gestured for the three to go inside: "The teacher is waiting for you inside. I have an experiment to do, so I'll be leaving now." She waved and turned to leave.

Ye Feng knocked on the door, and after hearing a "Come in," he opened it.

In the room, Deng Ruizhe sat at his desk, holding a paper on fairy-themed subjects and reading it carefully, occasionally jotting down notes.

"Teacher," Ye Feng called out.

"Dr. Deng." X2

I briefly introduced Ning Xian and Guo Pengfei to Deng Ruizhe.

Deng Ruizhe nodded, put down his paper, and looked at the three of them, saying, "Hello. Where's Ibrahimovic? Let me see him."

Ning Xian looked at Ye Feng, who nodded and released Eevee.

As soon as Ibu came out, he seemed curious about the unfamiliar place and looked around.

Deng Ruizhe squatted down in front of Ibu and, seeing Ibu's terrified expression, reached out and stroked it up and down.

"Eevee, be good and don't move. The doctor is examining you." Ning Xian comforted Eevee.

After a while, Deng Ruizhe put down Ibrahimovic, pinched his chin, and nodded.

"Teacher?" Ye Feng asked nervously.

"It's been well-bred, with excellent coat quality and well-developed limbs, so its speed and attack capabilities should be good. But I can't see any difference between it and other Ibrahimovic champions," Deng Ruizhe said.

...?

"Then what were you looking at for so long?" The three of them were speechless.

“Let’s go to the lab. I’ll give Ibrahimovic a thorough check-up,” Deng Ruizhe said.

Upon arriving at the lab, Deng Ruizhe took a syringe, and after obtaining Ning Xian's consent, drew a vial of blood from Eevee, processed it, and placed it into a device.

Then, he directed Ning Xian to place Ibu on the testing table and press the button.

A red beam of light scanned Eevee's body back and forth, and a headgear-like detector was placed on Eevee's head.

"Afei, what is the teacher doing?" Ye Feng, unable to understand these instruments, nudged Guo Pengfei with his elbow and asked.

Guo Pengfei's eyes were shining as he looked at the instruments. Hearing Ye Feng's question, he explained, "The doctor is checking Ibu's genes, energy attributes, and physical condition... These instruments are so advanced, much better than the ones in my lousy lab. It's true that only a proper large laboratory can use such instruments."

Ye Feng touched his forehead, feeling as if he had heard some incredible news.

What kind of lab did Guo Pengfei set up? It feels like he's brought back an incredible guy.

"Ye Feng..." Ning Xian stood nervously beside Ye Feng, her hands clenched.

"It's alright, there won't be any problems with the teachers here," Ye Feng reassured him.

Ning Xian nodded, but the worry on her face still lingered.

After a long time

"Okay, the results are in." Deng Ruizhe worked on the computer for a while and then displayed the test results on the big screen.

"Doctor, what are the results?" Ning Xian asked anxiously.

Deng Ruizhe waved his hand, indicating that everyone should remain calm.

Deng Ruizhe carefully examined the data and said, "Ibrahimovic's body is perfectly fine; in fact, he's very healthy and developing very well. Xiaofeng, isn't this all thanks to you?"

Ye Feng scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

Eevee has been secretly eating Energy Cubes all along, so it naturally grows very well.

"Hmm. There's no problem outside, but inside..." Deng Ruizhe hissed.

"What's wrong with Eevee?" Ning Xian was extremely anxious. Do researchers always speak so slowly and deliberately?

Deng Ruizhe smiled and said, "I told you there's no need to rush, Ibrahimovic is fine."

"..." Ye Feng tugged at Ning Xian and said, "Don't worry if the teacher says there's no problem. Let the teacher finish speaking."

Deng Ruizhe nodded and then said, "The Normal-type energy that Eevee should have originally possessed has been almost completely replaced by energy of another type."

Ning Xian was startled and bit her lip hard, forcing herself not to ask any more questions.

Deng Ruizhe shook his head. Young people these days are too impatient. Ye Feng, on the other hand, is not flustered at all. That's much better. That's how researchers should be.
