Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

As they were talking, President Tian suddenly remembered something and asked, "You clearly intended to evolve into Jolteon before, but ever since that kid Ye Chen came last time, you've suddenly been acting strangely. Did that kid instruct you to do this?"

Tian Xin retorted, "What do you mean by 'instructing'? I'm not someone who does whatever others tell me to do. I have my own ideas too. I really want to hold off on Eevee's evolution for the time being."

Chairman Tian was so angry that he stopped eating and slammed his chopsticks down: "I think I understand now, that kid has been bewitching you."

Although I had already suspected it before, the thought of my hard-earned cabbage being eaten by someone else's pig still made me furious!

Tian Xin turned her head away: "I can't reason with you!"

"Buyi!"

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, Eevee, who was happily eating an Energy Cube, suddenly emitted a blinding white light!

"This is?"

The two of them immediately turned their attention to that direction.

President Tian muttered to himself, "Without using any evolution stones, could it be one of the two most difficult forms to evolve into... Yes, it's daytime now, it must be Espeon!"

Then he looked at Tian Xin beside him and thought to himself, "Did I misunderstand her? She actually wanted to evolve into Espeon. Psychic type is indeed more advantageous and is also the most popular form among all evolutionary forms."

Tian Xin looked surprised and kept repeating, "It's actually true! It really can evolve into this form!"

Then, he suddenly realized what was happening and took out his phone to start filming Ibrahimovic.

Under the cover of the light of evolution, Eevee's size slowly increased.

However, Chairman Tian immediately noticed something was wrong. The figure under the white light seemed different from the sun elf he remembered, as if there were many decorative body parts around its body.

The light of evolution dissipated, and what appeared before the two was a white-based elf with a bow on its left ear and a bow on its neck, with two long ribbons fluttering in the wind at the ends of the bows.

Chairman Tian stared in disbelief: "This is... an elf I've never seen before!"

Tian Xin excitedly rushed over and hugged the fairy spirit, while the fairy spirit wrapped its cute ribbon around Tian Xin's arm. It liked to wrap the ribbon around the arm of its favorite trainer.

"Congratulations, fairy spirit, you have finally evolved successfully!" Tian Xin shouted excitedly.

"Miya!" The fairy's pale blue eyes sparkled with laughter.

President Tian stammered, "Xiao Xin, what... what's going on? And what are fairies... what are spirits? Did you name them?"

Tian Xin said, "Junior Brother Ye Chen told me the name. Actually, this is his latest research, Eevee's new evolution form, the world's first Sylveon Pokémon!"

"Ye Chen..." Chairman Tian murmured the name.

As a genius researcher who had recently gained fame, he was no stranger to this name. Later, when he learned that his daughter had been spared from being sucked into the secret realm because of him, he felt quite grateful to the young man.

Although the two did not meet again due to the aftermath of the arrival of the secret realm and Ye Chen's hasty departure.

Later, I learned from Zhu Qianwei's evaluation of Ye Chen: calm and composed, with a sense of composure that he had everything under control!

When Sylveon appeared, Chairman Tian realized that he had underestimated him.

"What attribute does the fairy spirit have?" Chairman Tian asked.

"I don't know either, but Junior Brother Ye Chen said that he will publish his new research results again soon, which will definitely shock everyone!"

President Tian took a deep look at Tian Xin's admiring expression, but could no longer utter a word in rebuttal.

"This is indeed another research achievement that can cause a huge sensation. Fairy Elf, it is indeed a good name."

Fairy spirits are spirits that have never appeared before humans. As the discoverer of this new spirit, Ye Chen has the right to name it!

If the paper on Feebas evolving into Milotic the first time was a coincidence or good luck, then being able to publish another research result that shocked everyone in such a short time is enough to prove Ye Chen's strength in research!

It's worth noting that many university professors spend their entire lives without fully understanding even one of these projects, yet this 18-year-old managed to research two in just six months!

What a genius!

A genius beyond compare!

Besides this word, Chairman Tian couldn't think of any other word to describe Ye Chen!

Over the years, as people's understanding of elves has gradually deepened, fewer and fewer research results of this level have been published, resulting in a stagnation in human understanding of elves.

But perhaps this young man can break this deadlock and allow humanity to gain a deeper understanding of elves!

Chapter Fifty-Six: Final Exam

With news coming from Tian Xin, Ye Chen finally began the final preparation stage.

Proof of the Existence of an Eighteenth Type in Pokémon

"Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Rock, Ice, Psychic, Ghost, Fighting, Normal, Steel, Bug, Poison, Ground, Flying, Dragon, plus the Dark type discovered by Dr. Bruce fifty years ago, make a total of seventeen types, which constitute all the Pokémon types we know. All Pokémon in the world cannot escape the scope of these seventeen types."

But is it necessarily true that things have always been this way? Before Dr. Bruce discovered the Dark type, people also thought that there were only sixteen types of Pokémon. So why can't there be an eighteenth type? After this period of research, I have basically confirmed the existence of the eighteenth type, and it will be the nemesis of Dragon-type Pokémon. I named it Fairy-type.

……

According to current research data, many Fairy-type Pokémon are mistakenly identified as other types. For example, Clefairy and Togepi are considered Normal-type Pokémon, Ralts is considered a Psychic-type Pokémon, and there are many similar cases.

The Fairy type involves a vast number of Pokémon, and I alone could not possibly summarize them all. Therefore, this paper will only touch upon this topic. I also hope that everyone can use the information I have provided to find more Fairy-type Pokémon! Pokémon are wondrous creatures of the world, and our understanding of them may still be superficial. However, I believe that with perseverance, humanity will eventually uncover the truth behind the arrival of secret realms and the appearance of Pokémon!

Despite Ye Chen's rapid typing speed, it was already past 1 a.m. when he finished writing the paper, which contained data on Kirlia's battles with various Pokémon, to establish the relationship between Fairy-type Pokémon and various types of elemental advantages and disadvantages.

As for fairies and elves, Ye Chen only mentioned them briefly in his paper. He plans to write a separate paper on this achievement, which will be published together with the paper on fairies.

After all, it is Eevee's latest evolution. In other words, it is a research achievement that is comparable to Milotic's paper and can be used as a foil to Fairy-type papers!

However, it was already quite late, and considering that he had an exam the next day, Ye Chen had no choice but to postpone writing his paper on the fairy elf.

……

the next day.

Ye Chen walked into the examination room yawning. Although the power of Tokiwa gave Ye Chen extraordinary abilities, his physical strength had not changed. It was normal for him to feel unwell after staying up all night.

In this world, high school education in Xia Kingdom actually divides students into arts and science tracks in the second semester of the second year of high school, just like in the previous world. However, there is an additional Elf track here.

Those who choose the Pokémon category, like Ye Chen, will receive a starter Pokémon during the summer vacation. Their subsequent learning will focus primarily on Pokémon-related knowledge, with other knowledge as supplementary. These are professions unique to the Pokémon world, primarily for training trainers, Pokémon researchers, breeders, coordinators, and so on.

If one chooses the general arts or sciences path, the focus will be on standard high school knowledge, supplemented by knowledge of spirits. Although one will still inevitably be involved with spirits in the future, the primary purpose will be to serve humanity.

Therefore, the number of people who have actually become trainers in this world is not that many compared to the global population; most are ordinary people who do not have Pokémon or keep Pokémon as pets.

Of course, there are also those who didn't choose the Pokémon major in high school but later became Pokémon trainers for various reasons, and many of them are very strong.

The exam for the Elf Department is quite simple, consisting of two theoretical papers and one practical exam.

The theoretical exam consists of two parts: Pokémon general knowledge and Pokémon theoretical battles, and is held in the morning and afternoon.

When the exam time arrives, the exam papers are distributed.

Ye Chen glanced at the test paper briefly.

These test questions were as easy for him as a student preparing for the college entrance exam doing elementary school exercises; he could almost immediately recall the answers at a glance.

Then he immediately began writing furiously, and only thirty minutes into the exam, Ye Chen had already put down his pen.

Looking at the time, Ye Chen realized there was still an hour before the earliest deadline for submitting the exam, so he decided to take a nap.

The proctor looked up and saw a student sleeping soundly with his head down, seemingly having given up. He was about to go up and wake him up.

Another proctor next to her pulled her aside and whispered, "That's Ye Chen."

"Oh."

The proctor suddenly realized what was happening, then calmly sat down.

From the first year of high school to the third year, after so many exams, plus the previous paper incident, Ye Chen's name was already known to everyone in the school. His ability to finish exams well in advance and consistently achieve the highest score was also widely known among the teachers.

Therefore, after learning that it was Ye Chen, he stopped interfering. He might be more knowledgeable than him, so why should he care?

Soon it was time, and Ye Chen handed in his exam paper.

The proctor took the opportunity to glance at Ye Chen's exam paper and found that almost all of them were correct. Watching Ye Chen walk out of the exam room, the proctor's eyes were full of admiration.

The afternoon's theoretical combat exam was even simpler; Ye Chen completed the exam in just half an hour.

After giving Mu Xue her share of energy cubes, the first thing Ye Chen did upon returning home was to finish his thesis on Sylveon. Because there wasn't much data, it mainly focused on the method of Eevee evolving into Sylveon and its various abilities.

Although the data support is relatively weak, Ye Chen has the evolution video of Fairy Elf, which is enough to support the authenticity of this paper.

Ye Chen published his first paper just before the start of the semester, but this time he published it on the last day of the semester.

What kind of upheaval will Ye Chen stir up when he speaks out to the world again after just one semester?

After organizing all the files, Ye Chen entered the academic forum and logged into his account.

Chapter 57 Alliance Reaction

Inside the paper review office of the academic forum, a group of people are chatting.

"Brother Shen, these days there are fewer and fewer papers that can cause a sensation."

Shen Yuanwei said, "There's nothing we can do about it. As our understanding of Pokémon deepens, we've basically published everything that can be easily discovered. What's left are the difficult problems that are giving all the big shots a headache."

"Yes, the paper on Milotic that you reviewed last time, Brother Shen, must be the most influential one recently."
