Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

Ye Chen: Uncle He, Happy New Year!

He Sheng: Happy New Year! Xiao Chen, I knew I hadn't misjudged you, you did a great job this time!

Ye Chen: Uncle He, you flatter me. Actually, I'm here to ask you for a favor.

He Sheng: I know what you want to say, but the heat and influence of this matter are just too great, and it can't be suppressed by force. The Alliance also knows about your involvement with the Genesis Society, and in order not to increase security difficulties, they have already given orders that your home address is kept absolutely confidential, so you can rest assured about that.

Ye Chen was finally relieved after seeing these words. If it was just him who became famous, it wouldn't affect anything.

Ye Chen: Thank you, Uncle He.

He Sheng: These are things the alliance should have considered. But you should be coming to the capital in a few days, right? The alliance's treasure trove is full of good stuff. I hope you can find the one that suits you best.

Ye Chen: Thank you, Uncle He.

Ye Chen turned off his phone. At that moment, Celebi came over. Just by looking at it, Ye Chen knew what it wanted to do. It was nothing more than still wanting to play on the computer.

In fact, Celebi hasn't stayed at home all the time since it came out with Ye Chen. At first, it secretly ran out to play, but after going out, it found that it wasn't as interesting as playing on its phone at home, so it sneaked back.

This once incredibly noble mythical beast has now become a typical internet-addicted otaku sprite!

My favorite thing to do every day is to lie in bed and play on my phone. It would be even better if I also had a bottle of soda!

"You can play on the computer if you want, but I'll be going out of town in a while and it won't be convenient to take you with me. You have to promise not to cause any trouble during that time!"

“No problem! You can trust me to handle things!” Celebi patted his chest and assured her.

Ye Chen was about to tell it the password when Celebi turned it on at lightning speed and entered the password in one smooth motion, clearly not the first time.

At this moment, a pop-up window appeared on the computer requiring mobile phone verification. This was a measure Ye Chen had set up to prevent Celebi from playing on the computer without permission.

Faced with Celebi's pitiful gaze, Ye Chen finally took out his phone and unlinked the computer, meaning Celebi could now use the computer anytime.

However, Ye Chen smiled slightly and walked out of the room. This time, you're on the first level, while I'm in the atmosphere.

You're still too young, Celebi!

Sure enough, a moment later Celebi rushed out and said, "Why do I have to pay to download the game?"

"Downloading games definitely costs money, otherwise game developers would lose a lot of money, and who would make games then?"

Celebi thought about it and realized it made sense, but he didn't seem to have any money. He turned his eyes to Ye Chen.

"Sure, but I don't think Gardevoir has a very good grasp of Psychic..."

"I'll teach you!"

Chapter Sixty-Five: New Year's Eve Dinner!

That "I'll teach!" was spoken with extreme decisiveness and firmness!

Sometimes Celebi even doubted whether she was the trainer or Ye Chen was the trainer, since it seemed like she was the one training Gardevoir most of the time.

Nevertheless, Celebi agreed quickly, fearing that Ye Chen might change his mind.

"Okay," Ye Chen said with a smile.

For just one game, you can get a pet with level three god-like experience to train you. This deal is simply too good to be true!

Finally, after considering Celebi's strong homebody tendencies and how much time he would spend grinding, Ye Chen helped him download Civilization VI.

The Civilization series in this world is quite different from the Civilization series in Ye Chen's previous life. Although it is also divided into Chinese civilization, Greek civilization, and so on, all other information is linked to elves. Different civilizations have different initial elves and innate skills, and the development of technology is to continuously develop stronger elves.

Although the two worlds of Civilization are different, they share a common feature: once you enter the game, you seem to lose track of time.

There's a saying among players: "I rested after finishing this round, but when I looked up, I found it was already dawn." This shows just how time-consuming this game is!

This kind of game is perfect to prevent Celebi from getting into trouble, and because of its constitution, Celebi won't suffer from staying up late.

So after downloading the game, Celebi immediately became addicted. In the first game, not being very familiar with it, she was repeatedly crushed by the computer.

Nevertheless, it played with great enthusiasm and quickly started a second game after losing.

With a bottle of soda fresh from the fridge next to my computer, my life is complete!

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and a big feast will definitely be prepared tonight. Ye Chen came to the kitchen to see if there was anything he could help with, but was directly kicked out by his mother.

"Gardedoll is enough to help; you're just making things worse by coming in!"

Meanwhile, Gardevoir was covering its mouth and chuckling in the kitchen.

Since it evolved, it not only tries to make energy cubes every day, but it has also secretly learned cooking skills from Mother Ye. This makes our Empress Dowager Ye very happy, as her cooking skills finally have a successor!

"Okay, then I'll just wait to eat for free." Ye Chen said, looking out the window.

In the yard, Milotic was using a very weak water gun to spray the glass and exterior walls, cleaning the areas it felt were dirty.

Suddenly turning its head, it saw Ye Chen looking at it.

"Nas~"

So she called out gently and then continued cleaning.

Milotic only shows a little gentleness when facing Ye Chen; it is arrogant and haughty when facing anyone else, including Mu Xue, who guided it for a period of time.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen suddenly felt a warm feeling welling up from the bottom of his heart. This is what home feels like!

In some novels I read in my past life, the protagonists were all set up as orphans at the beginning, with basically no friends, wandering the world alone, and finally reaching the top after experiencing hardships.

But Ye Chen felt that things were fine as they were. This was the feeling he wanted. If there was no one by your side to accompany you, what would it matter if you became the strongest in the world? You would still feel empty inside.

Just as Ye Chen was reflecting on life, his mother walked over and said, "I saw Miss Mu next door earlier. Isn't she going home for the New Year?"

"She seemed to say she wasn't going back, and would just stay in Rongcheng." Ye Chen recalled Mu Xue's answer when he asked her before.

“That won’t do. It would be so lonely for a young girl to spend New Year’s Eve alone. Why don’t you go and invite her to our house to celebrate the New Year together? It’s just a matter of adding another pair of chopsticks.”

Because Ye Chen often visited Mu Xue, and Mu Xue often came to see Ye Chen, she and Ye's mother had a very good relationship.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go ask her."

Actually, Mu Xue had mentioned that she had never spent the New Year with her family before, so Ye Chen secretly kept an eye on it and looked it up when he got back. But he didn't have any information channels, and how could he find out the Four Heavenly Kings' detailed identity information online?

So the matter was put on hold, and inviting Mu Xue to celebrate the New Year together now is exactly what Ye Chen wanted.

Mu Xue was pondering one of life's three great dilemmas—what to eat for dinner—when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Ye Chen opened the door, stood outside, waved, and said, "Hi!"

Upon seeing Ye Chen, Mu Xue recalled what had happened before and adopted a cold demeanor, asking, "What is it?"

"You'll be spending the New Year alone at home with nothing to do, why don't you come and stay with us?"

"No need." Mu Xue's eyes changed slightly. She didn't expect this kid to remember what she had said before. But I don't care about celebrating the New Year. I've been doing this for so many years.

Besides, if you ask me to go and I just go, wouldn't I lose face?

"Don't be so quick to refuse. My mom said she won't let me have dinner unless she invites you over. Just take pity on me, okay?"

Seeing Ye Chen's feigned pitiful appearance, Mu Xue felt much better even though she knew it was an act.

However, she stubbornly retorted, "What does it matter to me whether you eat or not?"

Ye Chen turned around with a sad expression: "Looks like I'm destined to go hungry today." He made a move to leave.

Mu Xue was secretly annoyed. Couldn't you have just held on a little longer?

"and many more!"

Ye Chen, who had his back to Mu Xue, wore a triumphant smile. When he turned around, his expression had returned to normal: "What's wrong?"

· ········Requesting flowers··· ···

"Whether you eat or not is none of my business, but since Auntie invited me, I can't very well refuse." After saying that, Mu Xue headed straight for Ye Chen's house.

Ye Chen, who was lagging behind, closed the door of Mu Xue's house and shouted, "Wait for me!"

Upon arriving at Ye Chen's house, Mu Xue went straight into the kitchen to help, and was not kicked out by Ye's mother, which surprised Ye Chen.

This woman, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, can actually cook?

What he didn't know was that Mu Xue's life wasn't easy before she became a superstar. She often had to cook for herself when she was very young, which is why she developed such good cooking skills.

With the help of the two people and the elf, the meal was quickly prepared, and they even made a special dish for the elf that contained energy cubes.

It was exactly eight o'clock.

....... ....... ...

The night of Lunar New Year's Eve is also known as New Year's Eve.

Besides family meals symbolizing reunion, the people of Xia have another annual tradition: watching the Spring Festival Gala. Although the quality of the Gala has declined in recent years, people still can't help but watch it at this time of year!

Turn on the TV, and to the sound of cheerful music, the dining table is laden with steaming dishes. Ye Chen's three Pokémon and Mu Xue's six Pokémon make the originally spacious living room feel a bit crowded.

That's right, Ye Chen also forcibly pulled Celebi down. It was originally developing its civilization in a tense and exciting way, but under Ye Chen's tyranny, it still left the computer.

Everyone laughed heartily at the comedy show on TV, even the elves couldn't stop laughing.

Steaming hot food paired with warm lighting!

Looking at this scene, Mu Xue's eyes suddenly welled up with tears for some reason. Although she had never spent the New Year like this before, she would dream of this scene every year at this time!

She understands that feeling now!

"Hey, it's Chinese New Year, so let's have some fun!"
