Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

"That's just its personality, don't mind it," Ye Chen said with a smile.

Tian Xin suddenly realized: "You actually have Milotic, and your name is Ye Chen. Could you be the genius researcher who figured out the evolutionary relationship of Milotic?"

"I wouldn't call myself a genius; I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants."

"Oh my god, how come I didn't think of that before!" Tian Xin was still very excited.

It's normal that she didn't make the connection. After the news broke, Ye Chen didn't give any interviews or show his face in public. Plus, some time had passed since that thesis incident.

It's not surprising that not many people know Ye Chen without continuous exposure.

Can I touch it?

Faced with Tian Xin's pleading eyes, Ye Chen decisively said, "Of course."

Finally, despite Milotic's warning look, she mustered up her courage and touched it.

The scales are very smooth, and the cool, refreshing feeling is very comfortable!

Tian Xin released her three Pokémon: Blastoise, Iceberg Lettuce, and Eevee.

Ye Chen sighed, realizing that these were the kinds of Pokémon that normal girls would like. What were Jiang Shuyun's Pokémon? Aggron? Rhyperior?

Tian Xin's Blastoise has reached the advanced high-level stage, the same level as Ye Chen's Milotic. Duoduo Ice is at the advanced low-level stage, while Eevee, the last one captured, has already been trained to the intermediate low-level stage and is currently facing the choice of evolution.

This person's strength is only slightly better than Ye Chen's, but in a typical university, they would be considered among the top tier.

As expected, Tian Xin's three Pokémon were immediately drawn to Milotic upon their appearance, and Blastoise, being a Water-type, was completely mesmerized. It took Tian Xin a while to bring them back to their senses.

The waiters were also inevitably amazed by the delicious food when they served it, but fortunately, their high level of service prevented any commotion.

The so-called Wave Pearls are actually made by juicing various tree fruits, adding some ingredients to enhance their flavor, and then solidifying them into pearl-like foods. They also have fillings inside, allowing the elves to feel the sensation of ocean waves crashing in their mouths with every bite!

Its nutritional value is definitely not as good as the top-grade energy cubes made by Ye Chen, but they each have their own unique flavor.

Milotic can at least eat it, which is quite an achievement considering it only eats top-tier energy cubes.

Just as Milotic was eating the pellets one by one, Blastoise quietly came up, holding its own portion in its hand.

However, Milotic's arrogance comes from its very bones. It turned its back to Blastoise and a mere decent-tasting meal was not enough to make it even glance at it.

Blastoise, though annoyed by the rebuff, followed along eagerly, behaving like a devoted follower.

Meanwhile, Kirlia, along with Dodo and Eevee, ate and played together, their cheerful laughter echoing in the private room.

"Junior Brother Ye Chen, you are a genius in the field of Pokémon research. Do you know what form my Eevee should evolve into?"

Currently, the academic community has discovered five evolutionary forms of Eevee: Flareon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Umbreon, and Espeon. Grass and Glaceon, which require specific environments to evolve, have not yet been discovered.

Ye Chen looked over and saw that this Eevee had soft fur and bright eyes, indicating that it had been trained very well.

Then Ye Chen used the system to check and found that this Eevee's ability was Run Away, and it had a special skill in its skill bar.

Round eyes!

It can reduce the enemy's attack speed, and its attack speed is extremely fast!

But that's not the key point. The key point is that this is a fairy-type skill.

This means that if this Eevee reaches a certain level of friendship, it will evolve into a Sylveon, which is the evolved form of the Fairy type!

P.S.: Guys, my ratings and flowers have barely moved these past few days. Please, everyone, give me some flowers and ratings!

Chapter 48 Milotic Breakthrough

If Ye Chen wants to prove the existence of the Fairy type, then Fairy Spirits can definitely be considered the most irrefutable evidence!

Ye Chen asked, "What did you originally plan to evolve into?"

Tian Xin tapped her chin with her finger and said, "I already have a Water-type Pokémon. I originally wanted to evolve it into Jolteon, which is both good-looking and strong."

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "I have made some achievements in the field of Pokémon evolution research. My latest project involves the latest evolution of Eevee. If you are interested, you can give it a try."

Tian Xin was taken aback: "Eevee has a new evolutionary form? Is it just a guess, or are you confident?"

"I call it a fairy spirit, and I can guarantee it will succeed 100%!"

After thinking for a moment, Tian Xin said, "I need to ask Ibrahimovic for his opinion."

"Ibu," she called out.

Hearing this, Eevee, who was playing around, rushed over and jumped into her arms, calling out in a childish voice, "Eevee!"

"Eevee, do you want to evolve into a Sylveon?"

Eevee tilted its head in confusion: "Eevee?"

Fairies and elves? What are those?

Ye Chen explained from the side, "This is a brand new Eevee evolution form. If you succeed, you will be the world's first Sylveon Pokémon, and this form will be absolutely effective against Dragon-type Pokémon!"

"It counters Dragon-type? Could it be that this new evolved form is Ice-type?"

Ye Chen smiled mysteriously: "No, I'll keep it a secret for now. I'll tell you after your Eevee chooses this path to evolve. So, Eevee, what's your choice?"

Ye Chen was referring to Eevee in the second half of his sentence.

It's obvious that Eevee is very interested in the Sylveon that Ye Chen mentioned. The world's first one, and it's super effective against Dragon-type Pokémon. Who wouldn't be tempted by such powerful prefixes?

Eevee nodded heavily and said firmly, "Eevee!"

Seeing this, Tian Xin said, "Alright then, Junior Brother Ye Chen, I'm completely entrusting Eevee to you. You absolutely must succeed! By the way, how do we evolve Eevee into that form?"

"Nothing to do."

"You don't have to do anything?"

“That’s right. I can see that you and your Eevee have a very good relationship. You just need to keep it up. With Eevee’s current strength, it won’t be long before it evolves on its own.”

Tian Xin was a little confused. There was such a way to evolve?

"Is this okay?"

Ye Chen explained, "Actually, this evolution method is somewhat similar to that of Moon Sprites and Sun Sprites. They all use the emotional power of the sprites to drive the evolution, but there are some minor differences."

"Alright, it seems like we won't lose anything by doing this anyway."

Tian Xin was initially worried that Ye Chen might make some strange requests, fearing that Ibu might get hurt as a result, but now it seems that she has no worries at all.

Ye Chen instructed, "By the way, remember to record Eevee's evolution and send it to me. It will be very helpful for my upcoming thesis."

"Don't worry, I have Eevee with me 24/7, I'll definitely pass it on to you when the time comes."

The two enjoyed the meal immensely.

Ye Chen was pleased to have found another piece of evidence to prove the existence of Fairy-type Pokémon, while Tian Xin was delighted that her Eevee would evolve into a completely new form.

When they parted, Blastoise was still reluctant to leave Milotic, while Milotic gave Ye Chen a reproachful look, as if blaming him for not leaving sooner.

Kirlia, Dodo, and Eevee waved goodbye happily. In just one meal, the three Pokémon had become good friends.

With this, Ye Chen had successfully completed all his objectives in Chang'an City, and it was almost time to ask the principal for leave, so Ye Chen decided to leave tomorrow.

That evening, Ye Chen divided the Mysterious Fruit given to him by the Earth Platform Turtle into two parts and made a top-tier energy cube for the water and a top-tier energy cube for the super-powerful type.

Ye Chen originally intended to make three portions, but Celebi said that after living for so many years, she was very skilled at controlling energy and didn't need this kind of fruit to enhance her abilities.

After the two elves ate the energy cubes, they immediately felt that they could sense the various energy molecules in the air more effectively, and they had more complete control over the energy in their bodies.

Just like someone with several hundred degrees of nearsightedness suddenly getting new glasses, the world that Milas "saw" was several times clearer than before!

Suddenly, a surge of power erupted from Milotic, and with the help of this special energy cube, Milotic successfully broke through to the Senior level!

Pokémon: Milotic

Level: Senior Beginner

Qualification: King level

Skills: Surfing, Rainmaking...

Milaska had been at the advanced, high-level stage for a long time, undergoing countless training sessions and battles. Finally, thanks to the special effects of the Miracle Fruit, it was fully activated and achieved a breakthrough!

In its excitement, it even demonstrated its surfing skills right in the hotel room.

It was extremely powerful and caused great damage!

The whole room looked like it had been washed with water, making it impossible to sleep.

Left with no other option, Ye Chen called the hotel staff, settled the compensation, and moved to another room to rest.

……

Chengdu, in a dark room.

A middle-aged man dressed in black was answering a phone call. His obsequious tone and posture made it clear that he was very respectful to the person on the other end of the line.

"Have you heard anything from our two members?" came the voice on the other end of the phone.

"Not yet, but I found out that Ye Chen hasn't been to school for a long time, and the time he left school was exactly the same day that our two members went missing!"

"The same day? Interesting. Could it be that two advanced trainers could be defeated by a high school student?"

"I don't know about that, but I went to his house to check afterwards and found that no one lived there anymore, and there seemed to be signs of a fight in the hallway."

The voice on the other end of the phone said with amusement, "Did the League send people to protect you? I don't believe an 18-year-old researcher can take care of two advanced trainers."
