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

Coco Dora was just born, but she already weighs over 100 pounds. If she pounces on you unprepared, Ye Feng won't be able to handle it, since he's not a complete newbie.

Coco tilted her head and realized she had stepped on someone, so she quickly jumped to the ground.

"Phew, thankfully it wasn't due to heavy metals, otherwise I probably would be dead." Ye Feng touched his chest and muttered with lingering fear.

Cocodora's weight is within the normal range for newborn Cocodora, so it is clearly not a case of heavy metals.

"Kuogu?" Coco Dora called out with a hint of worry.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. By the way, Coco Doraemon, here's something good for you." Ye Feng patted his pocket and pulled out a white energy cube.

These are energy cubes that Ye Feng specially made for Coco Dora.

The final evolved form of Aggron will likely be a tanky physical attacker. This energy cube is specifically designed to boost the physical strength of Steel-type Pokémon, and it's more effective for Aggron than the previous red one.

This is one of Ye Feng's research achievements during this period.

Now that it's just him and Cocodora in the room, there's no need to worry about being seen—when an owner's Pokémon egg is hatching, everyone except the trainer should avoid it, so as not to let other people's presence affect the Pokémon's judgment. It would be awkward if it mistook the breeder who took care of it for the trainer.

Cocodora smelled the cube and found it very fragrant. Her stomach rumbled, and she opened her mouth and bit the cube.

"How does it taste?" Ye Feng had made several kinds of energy cubes, but he hadn't fed them to the elves yet. He knew the effects, but he didn't know how they tasted.

"Go!~~~"

Judging from Coco Dora's voice, she probably really likes it.

After Cocodora finished eating, Ye Feng took out an empty Poké Ball: "Let's go, Cocodora. I'll introduce you to your future companions."

"Go!" Cocodora responded happily, stepped forward and touched the Poké Ball, then was sucked in by the red light.

The Poké Ball didn't shake at all; it just made a "thump" sound, indicating that the Pokémon had been captured.

Chapter 121 The Importance of Balancing Work and Rest

"Everyone, come and meet our new teammate!"

Ye Feng arrived at the training facility and called over Kirlia, Arcanine, and Gyarados, who were currently engaged in a fierce training session...

The three elves obediently surrounded Ye Feng.

Ye Feng took out CocoDora's Poké Ball and released it.

"Kokoo?" Upon emerging, Cocodora was greeted by three unfamiliar Pokémon. Instead of being frightened, it happily circled around them.

Upon seeing the fierce-looking Gyarados, it even went up to it and rubbed against its big belly.

"Um, is this personality trait brave or daring?"

Seeing how bold Coco Dora seemed, Ye Feng scratched his head. Without a proper examination, it was hard to tell at a glance.

In this world, the research on the personalities of elves is already quite comprehensive.

However, Ye Feng didn't care much about this. Although personality does have some influence on a Pokémon's abilities, with proper training, the influence of personality can be compensated for and improved. Things in the game can only be used as a reference; there are still many differences in reality.

Just like Gyarados's stubborn personality—you can tell by how it kept trying to massage Ye Feng no matter how much Ye Feng tried to persuade it, and Gyarados always liked sour food, so Ye Feng found it a bit strange at first.

It used to be pickled fish, now it's spicy and sour dragon?

Arcanine's personality is serious, and it always executes Ye Feng's orders meticulously; this personality doesn't affect its abilities, so Ye Feng doesn't need to spend time adjusting it and can continue to train it according to his own idea of ​​dual swords.

Kirlia's personality is innocent, so it is not afraid of strangers.

It seems that Cocodora's personality is either brave or bold, but this doesn't conflict with Ye Feng's original breeding direction and won't have a significant impact. The key is to see what its traits are. If it has a hard head, that would be the best. Judging from its current habit of rubbing its head against things, it's probably that trait.

Arcanine's ability is Flash Fire, which makes it immune to Fire-type moves and allows it to absorb the energy from them to boost the power of its own Fire-type moves. As mentioned before, this ability is very effective against Fire-type Pokémon.

After Gyarados evolves, its ability changes from Timid to Overconfident. After defeating the opponent's Pokémon, it can increase its attack power, which is a great help in sweeping through the freshman exchange meeting.

Kirlia's ability is Synchronize, which can inflict the same negative status on the opponent's Pokémon when it is burned, poisoned, toxic, or paralyzed. However, it has never had a chance to be used, which has led Ye Feng to sometimes forget about its ability.

Seeing the Pokémon quickly getting along, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief. His Pokémon, like its trainer, was very easy to get along with. Indeed, like trainer, like Pokémon. In a word, excellent!

-------------------------------------

Now that Cocodora has been born, Ye Feng has decided to temporarily suspend his research on the energy cube. After all, he has already made some progress, so there's no need to rush.

Research is important, but it's also important to balance work and rest!

"Boss, the data for CocoDora is out." Guo Pengfei walked over holding a tablet.

"What was the result?" Ye Feng asked hurriedly.

"Its health is excellent, no wonder it was hatched at the Imperial University's Incubation Center. As for its traits, it definitely has a hard head, and its personality is brave." Guo Pengfei reported off one by one.

Guo Pengfei's previously developed cutting-edge technology, the Pokémon Status Detector, has been upgraded after he attended Imperial University. It can now detect not only various states of Pokémon, but also their abilities and natures.

Ye Feng sighed again, realizing how different people truly were; how could he not create something like this...?

However, this is only true for known characteristics. If something is not discovered, it cannot be detected, since the results are obtained by comparing it with big data.

Ye Feng discovered that the concept of hidden characteristics did not exist in this world.

It's normal for Pokémon to have different characteristics. Hidden abilities are just a type of ability that is less common in Pokémon. For example, Charmander and its evolved form have Blaze as their common ability, but their hidden ability is Solar Power – Fire-type moves are more powerful on sunny days, but they will consume a lot of stamina.

That's why Li Yue was surprised when Ye Feng said that Timidity was Magikarp's hidden ability.

Furthermore, the progress of research on characteristics in this world is strange. Some characteristics that were only added to the game later have already been discovered. This should be related to the Pokémon that have appeared.

However, some of the characteristics that existed in the early stages have not yet been discovered, or in other words, no complete research results have been published.

The further Ye Feng progressed on his path as a trainer and researcher, the more he realized that much of his previous knowledge was no longer reliable and could only serve as a reference. The most direct example was Effort Values ​​(EVs) and Nature, which differed significantly from those in the games…

Now that we've confirmed Cocodora's traits and personality, the training path is clear.

A hard head allows Cocodora to avoid damage from the recoil of its own moves, so moves like Sacrifice and Double Headbutt that have counter-damage can be used without worry.

As for the brave personality, just go for a tanky physical attack build. Don't bother with speed training, as it's not very useful. This way, you can make full use of Cocodor's tough and durable racial characteristics and save a lot of effort.

But now...

Ye Feng smiled as he watched the three playful sprites.

Let's take a break first.

Suddenly, Gyarados looked at Ye Feng and flicked its tail.

Ye Feng froze. "How about... I go and study the new recipe for the energy cube?"

Chapter 122 Awesome!

School team training site

Ye Feng hasn't come for a while.

Upon arriving at the venue, they found only two people battling it out; the others were nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, long time no see!" Ye Feng raised his hand in greeting.

"Ye Feng?! What are you doing here? Weren't you doing some research in the lab?" The two combatants were startled.

“I can’t stay cooped up in the lab all the time. Well, with Cocoa being born, I was thinking of taking a break. Looks like I’ve come at the right time. Let’s have a match,” Ye Feng said with a smile.

"We're fighting right now," one of them chuckled dryly, his eyes darting around as if looking for a chance to slip away.

"Let's have a three-way battle then! I'm going! Kirlia, Arcanine, Gyarados! Cocoyar, you can just watch from the sidelines."

"Stop, Ye Feng!"

A moment of chaos ensued.

Ye Feng recalled his Pokémon and left the school team satisfied.

The two, stunned by the beating, watched their defeated elf with tears streaming down their faces.

"Isn't Ye Feng supposed to be busy with research and have no time to train? How come his Pokémon are stronger?"

"Who knows? Let's go to the Pokémon Center. Sigh!"

···

After leaving the school team, Ye Feng strolled around for a bit before heading towards Battle Arena No. 3. Since he couldn't find anyone from the school team, he decided to go and play with some people from the Battle Club.

I'm a member of the gaming club, so they wouldn't stop me from going in, would they?

Before Ye Feng could even reach Battle Arena 3, several people ran past him, muttering something about a trainer from Country H.

Foreign trainers? Ye Feng immediately became interested. He had never met a foreign trainer before and wondered if their Pokémon were any different from those in China. So he turned around and followed the student towards the second battle gym.

As soon as Ye Feng arrived at the first and second battle arenas, he saw that the entrance was crowded with people.

Ye Feng stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and peered inside, but there were too many people, and the place was a bit far from the venue, so he couldn't see what was going on inside at all.

"Hey, what's going on inside?" Ye Feng patted the shoulder of the person in front of him.

"Ugh, stop bothering me, I don't know either." The man in front shrugged impatiently, glanced back, paused, then his face lit up with surprise. He turned and shouted, "Ye Feng's here! Make way, Ye Feng's here, let him in!"

Upon hearing Ye Feng's name, the people in front all turned around and looked over. When they saw Ye Feng, they quickly made way for him.

What's going on? Ye Feng was puzzled, but since others had made way for him, he went in anyway.

As soon as he entered, someone stopped him: "Ye Feng, you've come at the right time. These trainers from Country H are too arrogant. Quickly teach them a lesson."

The person pulling Ye Feng away was a member of the school team who had just been beaten up by Ye Feng.
