Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

But with a flash of red light, Milotic appeared on the field, hovering, looking arrogantly at the opponent.

Old Liu also raised his hand and released Infernape, "Old buddy, you didn't get to enjoy the battle last time, so have a good time this time!"

As soon as Infernape came out, it saw Milotic on the other side. Remembering its previous frustrating experience, it roared to the sky, and flames of fighting spirit ignited in its eyes!

"Nus!"

Infernape was unconvinced, and Milotic was equally unconvinced, after all, they had lost the last battle.

"start!"

With a command, Infernape suddenly burst forth, leaving a trail of red afterimages as it charged toward Milotic, leaving only a long trail of fire behind it.

Accumulated flame attack!

Ye Chen remained calm and composed: "Surfing!"

Milotic let out a soft murmur, summoning a massive wave. Its serpentine body swam gracefully in the waves, like a legendary mermaid appearing and disappearing on the sea surface.

The giant wave grew increasingly violent, crashing down on Infernape!

The red afterimage plunged headlong into the giant wave, like a pebble falling into a raging river, not even causing a splash.

As the wave receded, Milotic's graceful body gained an even more ethereal beauty in the mist, while Infernape lay motionless on the ground.

"This... Infernape..." Old Liu was completely dumbfounded.

Is this still a human being?

What does it mean to take down a veteran-level Infernape in one move? Even though it was a type advantage, it's enough to prove that this Milotic is a top-tier creature even among veteran-level monsters!

He looked at Ye Chen and Milotic with complicated eyes. If he remembered correctly, he had only received his starter Pokémon for half a year. Moreover, the key point was that this young man was also a genius in the field of research!

"How about it, Lao Liu? You can rest assured now." Ye Chen tossed Milotic an energy cube as a reward.

Old Liu smiled wryly, "What's there to worry about? This level of skill is enough to sweep the competition!"

Chapter 59 Lu Xinghe

It is located in a research institute on the outskirts of the capital of Xia Kingdom.

An elderly man with white hair and beard was intently calculating something on a computer, surrounded by various research instruments and high-level resources that were extremely rare outside.

Rare items like the Spirit Cloth, King's Token, and Light Stone, which would attract trainers to fight over if placed outside, were carelessly tossed on the table like insignificant junk.

The communicator placed to the side suddenly rang, but the old man did not react at all, still frowning and staring intently at the computer screen.

After a long while, I angrily shut down the program running on the computer, apparently because some experimental data calculation had failed again.

Only then did he realize that his communication device had rang, so he answered and said, "Didn't I tell you not to bother this old man unless it's important?"

An apologetic voice came from the other end of the communicator: "I'm sorry, Professor Lu, but I really need your help with a paper."

"Fine, send me the paper since it's so important to you. It'll add some spice to your boring research life."

The old man who was completely devoted to his research was none other than Lu Xinghe, who had not shown his face for ten years!

Just when everyone thought that this undisputed number one in the research community was no longer able to conduct research, no one expected that he was conducting research in an unknown field alone in a research institute in the suburbs!

And this research took a full ten years!

A short while later, the paper was sent to Lu Xinghe's email. The first thing he saw when he opened the paper was the title.

His casual expression instantly turned serious; this research project was no simple matter.

When he saw the question "Is something that has always been true necessarily correct?", Lu Xinghe nodded in agreement. All current human research is based on known facts, and no conclusion can be guaranteed to be absolutely correct.

At any time, a new discovery of a law or phenomenon may overturn previous conclusions, and then humanity will continue to explore and move forward based on this foundation. This is the true essence of human scientific research!

Just as we can discover the eighteenth attribute now, we may also discover the nineteenth or twentieth in the future. As long as humanity keeps moving forward, we will eventually reach the end, even if the end is far away!

Lu Xinghe continued reading and found that the experimental steps described in the paper were clear, the data was clear and specific, and it even linked to another paper about fairies and elves.

That paper not only introduced Eevee's new evolution, the new Fairy type, but also clearly showed Eevee's evolution process!

Nothing is more awe-inspiring than seeing it with your own eyes!

Lu Xinghe stroked his beard, a glint of light flashing in his slightly cloudy eyes. This was the most interesting paper he had seen in the ten years since he "retired," and it was worth studying carefully!

He dialed the communicator he had been using before: "Prepare a few Pokémon for me, the ones from the Ralts, Togepi, and Clefairy family that he mentioned in his paper."

"Are you going to do it yourself?" came the excited voice on the other end of the communicator.

"Since you've all contacted me directly, how could I possibly refuse? But this paper is indeed quite interesting. Let me guess, was it written by Lao Zhang? No, he's far from it! Could it be Lao Wang? He has quite a bit of experience in Eevee research, and it's possible that he could deduce new attributes from Eevee's new evolutionary form."

"You guessed it wrong, this paper wasn't written by Professor Zhang and Professor Wang."

"Who is that?" Lu Xinghe casually picked up his thermos and took a sip. "Could it be that I haven't been paying attention to the rising stars who have emerged in the last few years?"

The alliance executive who was speaking with Lu Xinghe was somewhat embarrassed: "Um... he's an 18-year-old boy named Ye Chen."

"puff!"

Lu Xinghe wiped his mouth, his face showing astonishment: "An 18-year-old boy?!"

"Yes."

What did I just hear? An 18-year-old boy has solved a problem that countless scholars and big names have been unable to solve, while I've only been holed up in the lab for ten years. Has the outside world changed that much already?

In fact, over the years, many people have tried to find out if there is an eighteenth attribute, but without exception, they have all failed, including Lu Xinghe himself.

That's why he was so surprised when he learned that the person who discovered the eighteenth attribute was an 18-year-old boy.

Lu Xinghe couldn't help but exclaim, "This is a genius! Whether he's just lucky or has real talent, he's practically born for elf research!"

"Not only that, but he actually published a paper about half a year ago about the evolution of Feebas into Milotic."

Lu Xinghe was surprised again: "He wrote that too? I've heard of this paper before, but I haven't studied it in detail. It seems that in just half a year, he has produced such amazing results. He is truly a force to be reckoned with!"

"Master Lu, from what you're saying, are you considering taking on a disciple?"

Lu Xinghe did not answer, but at this moment silence was the best answer.

"Mr. Lu, the elf you requested will be delivered shortly. I won't bother you any longer."

After hanging up the call, Lu Xinghe found Ye Chen's paper from six months ago, "A Study on the Correlation between Milotica and Feebas".

There are still many new replies in the comments section below, showing that even after half a year, people still occasionally take out this paper and study it repeatedly.

After reading the whole thing, Lu Xinghe remained silent for a long time. Such a rough gem—no, this was clearly already a beautiful gem!

It's hard for me not to want to take on apprentices!

It's important to know that although most of the people in the Pokémon research community are his students, only three of them can truly be considered as having received his meticulous guidance. The others have only attended a few classes in the form of lectures.

But then I thought about it again. I'm getting old, and all I want to do now is figure out this project. I don't have the energy to take on apprentices.

Forget it, others have already achieved such results through self-study, so there's no need for an old man like me to give them pointers. I'd better just focus on my research!

The alliance acted quickly, and the Pokémon that Lu Xinghe needed was delivered in no time. Due to the confidentiality, even the person who delivered it probably didn't know what this place was for; he was just following orders and left.

Lu Xinghe released the sprites one by one, and then began to conduct experiments to verify the results according to the steps described in Ye Chen's paper.

Although the final experimental results have not yet been released, he has already accepted the paper in his heart, and he believes that it will not be long before the whole world will be shocked by the name Ye Chen!

P.S.: Guys, it's settled. It'll be available tonight at 8 PM, with ten chapters immediately upon release, and then updates will continue as usual tomorrow!

Testimonials

Brothers, after fifteen days of updates, this book is finally going to be available for purchase!

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

Thank you all so much for your support! As is customary, there should be a launch message when a book is released, so I wrote one as well. I'll just talk about two things here.

First, as you can see, the protagonist's spirit's power doesn't increase to the point of being invincible right from the start. Also, I've left many plot holes in the earlier chapters.

For example, how did the Lugia that the protagonist encountered transform into Dark Lugia?

What happened in the Xia Kingdom more than ten years ago?

What research findings will the protagonist publish later?

……

I have already planned all of these out in the outline, so you can rest assured about that!

Secondly, regarding the update issue, we have already discussed it with the editor and it will be available tonight at 8 PM sharp, with ten chapters released immediately without any delays, and then the updates will proceed as normal tomorrow!

Your support is my motivation! Let's go, brothers! Let's go!

Chapter Sixty: Gardevoir!

Regardless of the situation on the Alliance's side, Ye Chen looked at Kirlia with extreme tension.

It emanated a faint white light, but the light never penetrated its body to completely envelop it.

Three days have passed since Ye Chen submitted his paper. At first, Ye Chen was puzzled as to why his paper had not passed the review. However, an event that happened later directly shifted his attention to other things!

When Kirlia was making an Energy Cube, her psychic powers suddenly went out of control, causing the creation to fail and the machine to be completely destroyed!
