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

The known learning method involves some Pokémon using Fairy-type energy to simulate the use of Flash, giving them a certain probability of learning this move...

Ye Feng was not afraid at all that if someone learned the Magic Flash, it would pose any threat to him.

In fact, everything he has researched so far, except for Round, Hard, and Spiral Psychic Ball which he learned from other anime, the other characteristics and moves originally belonged to Pokémon. Even without him, they would have been researched by someone else sooner or later.

Ye Feng merely reaped the rewards ahead of time (not really), bringing these things to the world earlier and accelerating the development of Pokémon studies.

Isn't it wonderful that this kind of thing benefits both oneself and others?

Chapter 96 Spiritual Energy and Life Energy

Imperial University Library

In front of a bookshelf, Ye Feng was intently reading a book on energy science.

He had previously gained some inspiration from the sleep-inducing powder of the Great Strong Bulbasaur, and Ye Feng divided the training of Spiral Psychic Ball into several stages.

The first stage, which is now complete, involves using telekinesis to create a spiral telekinetic sphere and skillfully releasing it. Kirlian has already completed this stage.

In the second stage, we will learn how to use the sleeping powder and construct a psychic ball using superpowers and fairy energy. The current idea is to wrap the psychic ball with fairy energy, or to wrap some fairy energy in the center of the psychic ball.

Since both psychic powers and fairy energy belong to Kirlia's native energy type, there is no conflict in their use, nor is there any mutual restraint between them, so theoretically it should be feasible.

Unfortunately, this idea was rejected after Kirlia tried it.

The irregular rotation of the psychic ball will disrupt the stability of the fairy energy within it. In the best-case scenario, the fairy energy will disappear; in the worst-case scenario, the psychic ball may tear at the fairy energy, and the interaction between the two may cause the psychic ball itself to lose its stability.

This is a stage that Kirullian needs to overcome, and Ye Feng is also trying to figure it out.

In the third stage, building upon the previous encapsulation, energy is directly fused into the psychic sphere, causing the psychic energy and fairy energy to rotate randomly together.

The original Rasengan has many derivative techniques. By adding different types of chakra to the Rasengan, different advanced forms of the Rasengan can be formed. However, Ye Feng couldn't remember how he did it, whether it was because his memory had faded or because the original work did not provide a detailed explanation of the training method.

Ye Feng had wondered if other types of Rasengan were formed by replacing chakra with other attributes. He tried it out and found that the Rasengan Psychic Ball simply transformed into a Rasengan Fairy Ball; essentially, nothing changed.

It's possible that because chakra is a product of the even mixing of spiritual and physical energy, although it has different attributes, it is essentially the same energy. Moreover, the Rasengan itself is attribute-free, and adding attributes to attribute-free objects is the simplest thing to do, so it can achieve a natural fusion.

However, superpowers and fairy energy are different; they are two different types of energy with different attributes. Simply imitating the Rasengan will definitely not work.

Making two completely different energies merge and rotate is no easy feat, but if successful, the power will certainly be far more than just 1+1=2.

But wait, chakra is a product of the balanced mixing of spiritual and physical energy...

Psychic power is the embodiment of mental power, isn't it just mental energy? Then what is physical energy... the energy used in fighting techniques?

Could some kind of chemical reaction occur between psychic and fighting-type energy? If so, what form of energy do fairy-type and other types of energy take? Mental energy or physical energy?

If you mix psychic and martial arts energy evenly, can you create an energy similar to chakra? Is this simply a mixture of two attributes, or is it even a completely new attribute?

What Ye Feng is doing now is looking for books on spirit energy science to see if he can find any useful knowledge.

"Wow, that's rare. There are actually students who are interested in energy science."

Suddenly, a slightly aged voice rang in Ye Feng's ears.

Looking up, he saw Professor Zhao, who taught him energy science, standing next to him.

"Professor Zhao, hello!" Ye Feng greeted him politely.

"Hello." Professor Zhao nodded with a smile, having a very good first impression of Ye Feng. "What are you looking at? An introduction to energy science? Hmm, it's a very basic textbook, which is very helpful for understanding energy science."

Professor Zhao glanced at the book cover and nodded approvingly.

Ye Feng's eyes lit up. Professor Zhao was a professor who taught energy science. Could he possibly resolve his doubts about spirit energy?

With these thoughts in mind, Ye Feng briefly shared his questions with Professor Zhao.

"The fusion of Psychic and Fighting/Fairy type energy?" Professor Zhao stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Do you know where the various types of energy that Pokémon use to execute moves come from?"

"Isn't this the elves' talent?" Ye Feng scratched his cheek and said, "That's what the book says."

"Yes and no." Professor Zhao nodded and then shook his head. "Let's find a place to sit. This is a long story, but I don't have anything to do today, and you seem quite interested, so I'll tell you about it."

Ye Feng followed Professor Zhao to a quiet corner and sat down.

"You should know that there were originally 17 types of spirits, oh wait, no, there are now 18 types. You knew that, right?"

Ye Feng nodded; this was basic common sense.

"But have you ever wondered why there are 18 attributes? Why not 19 or 20?"

"This...maybe it hasn't been discovered yet?" Ye Feng thought of the new attributes that might be generated by the fusion of his psychic and fighting-type energy, and asked tentatively.

"That's possible. But the fundamental reason is the difference in the life forms of elves. The different attributes of elf energy are actually just different manifestations of elves using life energy."

"Life energy?!" Upon hearing this word, Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat.

He had previously pondered the connection between Pokémon attributes, Mega Evolution, and life, but he had never really grasped the concept of life energy. Suddenly hearing this term from someone else, who seemed to know it all, made him feel a bit excited and his scalp tingled.

“That’s right. Your idea of ​​fusing telekinesis and fighting-type energy is good, but unfortunately, fighting-type energy is already a product of fusion and cannot be fused further.”

"Elves use their spiritual power to drive the energy contained within their bodies. This energy is life energy. Spiritual power can also be called spiritual energy. This driving process is actually the fusion of spiritual energy and life energy."

"When spiritual energy and life energy reach a balance, the energy needed to use techniques will be generated. The external manifestation of this energy is the various attributes and corresponding techniques that we know."

"Among the elves, there are obvious differences between different races, which are reflected not only in spiritual energy but also in life energy."

"This is why different attributes exist, while Pokémon of the same species have the same attributes, and Pokémon of different species have different attributes."

"The reason why there are dual-type Pokémon and different types of Pokémon with different attributes in different regions is also due to the influence of the external environment, which leads to changes in the Pokémon's genes. Even if there is not much difference in mental strength, there has been a huge difference in life energy."

"As for telekinesis, it is actually a phenomenon where mental energy is strong enough to directly affect the outside world. Telekinesis is pure mental energy, but its attribute energy is no longer pure life energy."

"You want to fuse telekinesis and martial arts energy? There will only be one result. Martial arts energy cannot fuse with more spiritual energy. The balance will be broken, and it will explode due to oversaturation."

Professor Zhao clasped his hands together and then opened them, making an explosion-like motion.

Chapter 97 Spiral Single-Attribute Ball and Spiral Multi-Attribute Ball

Ye Feng was startled and quickly asked, "So, after a Pokémon evolves, it gains a second attribute because..."

Professor Zhao nodded: "That's right. After an elf evolves, its life level is qualitatively improved. The originally insufficient life energy becomes abundant and merges with spiritual energy to form a second type of attribute energy. This energy manifests in the elf as the second attribute we are talking about now."

Ye Feng nodded. If what Professor Zhao said was true, then it would prove that his guess about the hidden power in the elven bloodline was largely correct.

The change in attributes after Mega Evolution is likely because Mega Evolution increases both the level of life and mental strength, and these two changes lead to changes in attributes.

But what I didn't expect was that the life energy I had been searching for had been right in front of me all along without my knowledge.

"Professor Zhao, I have a question. Is there any way to utilize this life energy? Besides evolution, are there any other means to improve one's life level?" Ye Feng suppressed his excitement and tried to keep his tone as normal as possible.

If one could understand how to utilize life energy or improve one's life level, then Gardevoir's autonomous Mega Evolution might not be something it imagined out of thin air.

“Actively utilizing life energy is very difficult,” Professor Zhao shook his head. “The existence of attributes indicates that the fusion of spiritual energy and life energy has reached a balance, which is already engraved in the Pokémon’s genes and cannot be easily broken. Spiritual energy can be used independently, but the independent use of life energy is impossible with the current development of Pokémon studies. Otherwise, what do you think is the point of Pokémon moves?”

"As for raising the level of life, it is unlikely as far as I know. The race of elves determines its growth ceiling, which is determined from birth. Unless it experiences the same environmental changes as in ancient times, and through generations of reproduction under long-term environmental stimulation, the race may be able to evolve, but it is obviously impossible."

"Alternatively, one can improve the level of life by allowing excellent Pokémon to mate and produce offspring with better aptitude, but this requires the efforts of many generations and cannot be achieved in a short period of time or by a single generation of Pokémon."

"Is that so?" Ye Feng was somewhat disappointed. He had finally obtained information about life energy, but he hadn't expected this outcome.

But in fact, Ye Feng forgot one thing: Mewtwo was born through genetic recombination...

"However, just because you can't do it actively doesn't mean you can't do it passively," Professor Zhao said with a smile when he saw Ye Feng's disappointed look.

"Passive use? What kind of method is that?" Ye Feng's eyes lit up.

Do you know about the Pearl of Life?

"Life Orb? It's the sheep... no, it's that item that amplifies the power of moves by consuming a Pokémon's stamina, right? Of course I know." Ye Feng nodded.

"I didn't expect you to know even this. The Life Orb is currently the only known item that allows direct use of life energy, albeit in a passive form. Isn't what we call physical strength a manifestation of life energy?" Professor Zhao said, stroking his white beard.

"Then, where can I get this item?" Ye Feng remembered that he had searched almost the entire resource library in search of Mega Stones, but he hadn't seen this item. Otherwise, he would definitely have some recollection of it.

"Well, to be honest, I've only seen it once, in the personal collection of a PhD in Pokémon studies. But that PhD disappeared during a research project on a secret realm, and the Life Orb went missing along with it. I haven't seen it since," Professor Zhao sighed.

"Ah..." Ye Feng was stunned. His enthusiasm was extinguished by a bucket of cold water, a chilling feeling that went straight to his heart.

"However, you could try looking for items similar to the Life Orb. You could also try looking at it from a different angle: consumption is one way, but isn't replenishment also a way of passively using life energy?"

Ye Feng's eyes lit up. That's right, aren't consumption and replenishment both ways of passively using life energy? If there's no hope of finding anything through consumption, then perhaps there is still hope through replenishment.

"Don't be too hasty," Professor Zhao said. "At your current level, it's too early for you to get involved in this. You need to have a long-term vision, but if you look too far ahead, you won't see what's right in front of you. Be careful not to trip up! And once you trip, it won't be easy to get back up."

Professor Zhao stood up, patted his lower back, and said, "Ah, I'm getting old, I can't compare to you young people anymore. It's getting late, I'll be going now."

Ye Feng quickly stood up and bowed slightly: "Thank you for your guidance today, Professor Zhao."

Professor Zhao waved his hand and said as he walked away, "Child, anything that touches upon life is a forbidden zone. If you really intend to explore it in depth, you must remember to keep your original intention and not forget what your original purpose was."

"Life is something that no one can easily touch."

Ye Feng looked out the window and realized that he had been chatting with Professor Zhao for an entire afternoon. Although it was still light outside, the sun was no longer visible.

However, Professor Zhao's words also greatly inspired Ye Feng.

Attribute energy is a fusion of spiritual energy and life energy. Since Pokémon can learn moves that are not of their own attribute, it means that there must be a certain proportional relationship between the fusion of spiritual energy and life energy.

Different proportions of fusion can create different energy properties.

So, is it possible to create energy with different properties by adjusting the proportions of these components?

Does this mean that besides the Psychic Ball and Fairy Ball, there are 16 other types of Spiral Psychic Balls? For example, Ghost Ball, Normal Ball, Grass Ball, Water Ball, Electric Ball, etc...
