Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic Author: Xiaomijia

Having transmigrated to the world of elves, Ye Chen found that raising elves was extremely costly and it was difficult for ordinary people to rise to prominence. In order to raise elves, he decided to embark on the path of an elf researcher, and thus, one research result after another that shook the world was born.

The Water-type Elite Four member said, "I never imagined that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, were actually evolved from a pufferfish."

Dragon-type Elite Four: "Ye Chen has ruined me! The Dragon type is perfectly countered by the Fairy type!"

The light of Mega Evolution shone brightly throughout the arena, and the world was in an uproar!

The aftershocks of the Z-move were so powerful they shook the heavens and the earth, attracting countless people to pursue it relentlessly!

The shadow of Dynamax is cast upon the earth, oppressing all the Elite Four Champions!

Facing the media's cameras, Ye Chen calmly stated, "A breeder who doesn't aspire to be the head of the Pokémon Professors is not a good breeder!"

Chapter One: Ugly Fish

In the sweltering summer heat, the sun shines brightly.

In this kind of weather, a group of young men and women, brimming with youthful energy, stood obediently in line in front of a red and white building.

Even though they were drenched in sweat, it couldn't hide the barely suppressed excitement on their faces!

"I wish I could pick a pseudo-legendary!"

"I'm still half asleep. If you manage to pick a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, I'll eat the Poké Ball!"

"Okay! You said it yourself, I'll remember that, don't try to renege on it later."

"How much longer? I can't wait!"

Looking at the chattering discussions among his classmates, Ye Chen couldn't help but reveal a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Adding to the past forty years, I'm finally going to have my own Pokémon!

I wonder what kind of spirit I can choose?

That's right, Ye Chen has been in this world for eighteen years. When he first learned that Pokémon existed in this world, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep all day.

According to the rules of the World Pokémon League, every student about to enter their senior year of high school will receive their own Pokémon during the summer vacation.

The cost is only an adoption fee of 1000 yuan, which is undoubtedly a benefit to the education system compared to the high prices of Pokémon on the market!

Therefore, it is almost impossible for a very powerful Pokémon to appear under such a policy that is intended to benefit the common people, let alone a pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Even if a pseudo-legendary Pokémon did appear, the resources required to raise such a Pokémon would be unimaginable.

You might spend all your wealth to acquire resources, but even a quasi-god-level spirit might feel it's not enough after just one bite.

"Old Ye, do you have a specific elf in mind that you want?"

A pretty girl wearing a baseball cap and with a tomboyish appearance quietly approached Ye Chen and asked.

"I don't care. Whatever Pokémon I choose, I will love it without reservation," Ye Chen replied without hesitation.

"That's so typical of you. But with your theoretical grades, any Pokémon could get into any university you want, right? I, Jiang Shuyun, am different. The more handsome and majestic my Pokémon is, the better!"

Ye Chen was not surprised by her words, because he knew that Jiang Shuyun was like that.

The two grew up together since childhood, and it wouldn't be wrong to say they were childhood sweethearts. It's unclear whether it was because they spent a lot of time with Ye Chen or something else.

Most girls like cute Pokémon, but Jiang Shuyun prefers tall and powerful ones. Rhyperior and Aggron are her favorite Pokémon.

In her words, "She's so cute, if I, Boss Dora, were to punch her, she'd probably cry for a long time!"

As the group was still discussing, a staff member walked out of the red and white building.

"Students, please be quiet. I know you are all very excited to receive your first Pokémon. Please line up. Next, the students whose names I call will come in and choose their Pokémon."

The previously noisy scene immediately quieted down, and everyone obediently lined up.

"Cai Penghai".

"Ning Yang".

"Xue Shaoqi".

……

"Ye Chen".

Finally, it was Ye Chen's turn. He entered the building where he could collect his spirit.

Hundreds of pillars, each about a meter tall, stood on the ground, each with a Poké Ball on it. No one knew what Pokémon was inside the Poké Ball.

Even staff members are not allowed to open and view it at will; as for which Pokémon you can choose, it's entirely up to your personal preference.

Just as Ye Chen was about to randomly choose one to leave, a voice came to his mind.

"Ding! System update complete, the Strongest Trainer System is at your service!"

Ye Chen was taken aback, then overjoyed.

This system appeared once before I was reborn into this world, but it only said "System is checking world information updates, please wait" and then there was no further news.

I didn't expect the update to be completed at this crucial moment!

"The host has been detected to be at a critical juncture in receiving their first Pokémon. Options will be triggered."

"Option 1: Receive Poké Ball #42, which contains a Charmander with Gym Leader potential, and rewards you with 'The Ultimate Guide to Charmander Training' and 10 Top-Tier Fire-Type Energy Cubes."

"Option 2: Receive Poké Ball #36, which contains a Feebas with Gym-level potential, and rewards you with 'From Feebas to Milotic: Breeding Techniques You Can't Miss' and 10 Top-Tier Water-type Energy Cubes."

Ye Chen was surprised that the system could even see what kind of Pokémon was inside the Poké Ball. Pokémon with Gym Leader aptitude were extremely rare, and finding two of them in this batch of Poké Balls was incredibly lucky.

If it were an ordinary person, even if they saw a Feebas with Gym-level potential, they would choose Charmander without hesitation, because in their eyes, Feebas is just an unevolved, ugly, and weak Pokémon.

However, Ye Chen knew that Feebas could actually evolve, and after evolving, it would become Milotic, which had outstanding appearance and strength!

"Hello, I've decided to pick up Poké Ball #36."

"Okay, please wait a moment while I register you. Please release your Pokémon."

The moment Ye Chen caught the Poké Ball,

"Ding, host has selected Poké Ball #36. Rewards have been issued."

"The host has been detected to have his first Pokémon. Achievement gift box will be issued."

Ye Chen remained calm and silently released his Pokémon. With a flash of red light, a fish-shaped Pokémon with a pitted and ugly surface lay on the ground, weakly wagging its tail.

"This is... an ugly fish?" The staff member was taken aback.

The classmate who had chosen the same elf was surprised for a moment, then looked at Ye Chen with pity in his eyes.

"It's actually the ugliest elf."

"What's the use of good grades if you choose Ugly Fish? You won't amount to much if you do!"

"An ugly and weak elf like that, Ye Chen's luck is really bad!"

"Based on Ye Chen's theoretical score, if Feebas were replaced with another Pokémon, it would be a decisive victory, but unfortunately, it cannot be replaced."

Ugly Fish, who had just been released and was hearing these words, had a dim look in his slightly dazed eyes, and his wagging tail slowly stopped moving as he lay still on the ground.

It had heard these words more than once, so many times that it even believed itself to be a stinking fish in a ditch, with no hope of ever turning its life around.

Chapter Two: The Elf Researcher

Just as Ugly Fish was feeling sad, a warm, large hand gently touched its head.

"Ugly Fish, welcome to my partner! Let's work hard together from now on!"

"call?"

Ugly Fish looked up at Ye Chen and saw him squatting on the ground, gently stroking himself with a warm and friendly smile on his face.

"Don't pay attention to what others say, just keep moving towards your goal."

What a warm smile! Is he my master?

Ugly Fish was somewhat incredulous.

Ye Chen saw the inferiority complex in Ugly Fish's heart. Perhaps it was originally unwilling to spend its life in a daze, lying in the mud trying to survive, letting others trample on it.

But after hearing such words so often, one will naturally start to think that they are not born with the talent for it.

Therefore, you need to let it feel your passion, and never give up on yourself!

After the staff finished registering him, Ye Chen put away his Feebas and walked out of the Pokémon collection hall.

After they came out, Jiang Shuyun immediately went to Ye Chen's side and asked curiously, "What kind of Pokémon did you get? Let me see it!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "It's an ugly fish. It doesn't adapt well to land, so we won't release it. Come back and see it when you have time."

Jiang Shuyun was taken aback when she heard it was Ugly Fish, and then looked at Ye Chen's expression.

After confirming that Ye Chen didn't look disappointed or regretful, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Frill! It's indeed a very rare Pokémon. I wonder what Pokémon I'll choose?"

"If you trust me, choose Poké Ball #42. It should suit you well."

"Why wouldn't I believe you? But how can you be so sure it'll suit me?" Jiang Shuyun said casually.

"Don't worry about it, just keep it a secret between us."
