Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

Ye Chen and Sulu exchanged a glance and began to search for all the information using the 3D Dragon's abilities.

He quickly found the two documents and opened them. As he expected, the creation dates of these documents were all after he published his paper.

However, 3D Dragon did not stop searching. Soon, more and more information was unearthed, and Ye Chen discovered that the bad things this guy had done were not just about smearing him.

He even received bribes totaling over ten million Alliance Coins during his postgraduate entrance exam through cheating and other means, and he meticulously recorded all of these in his computer.

He also sexually assaulted a female graduate student, and then threatened her not to report him, threatening that she would not be able to graduate.

Perhaps to satisfy his perverted fetish, he recorded the whole thing, and Ye Chen has now dug it all out.

Seeing this, Sulu, who was standing nearby, was immediately filled with anger and wished he could go online right away to expose the professor's true colors!

"You're worse than a pig or a dog!"

However, Ye Chen only frowned slightly. Although these things had already exposed his true colors and made the rumors about him disappear online, there was still something he needed to find.

Professor Hu never imagined that such a peculiar creature as the 3D Dragon existed in the world. Even though he had built up very strong defenses for his computer, the 3D Dragon still managed to break through them easily.

Finally, as a chat log appeared, Ye Chen's eyes narrowed.

"stop!"

This is what he's been looking for!

The screen displays a chat log between Professor Hu and a person named Lin Quan.

The above content shows that Lin Quan was the one who found him first, and all the drama surrounding Ye Chen was orchestrated by this man named Lin Quan.

Professor Hu was merely an assistant he found on a whim. Professor Hu was also dissatisfied that Ye Chen had achieved so much fame at such a young age, while he himself had worked hard for most of his life but had achieved very little.

Driven by intense jealousy, coupled with Lin Quan's promise to give him ten million Alliance Coins afterward, the two hit it off immediately.

The two's plan was pretty much as Ye Chen had guessed. After the incident was exposed, a large number of online trolls stirred up trouble and misled those who were unaware of the truth.

Since they could not provide evidence, they did not expect to strip Ye Chen of his reputation; they only wanted to establish Ye Chen's image as an academic fraudster in the public eye.

In this way, every paper Ye Chen publishes in the future will be subject to skepticism. If Project 803 is successful, it will indeed bring some unnecessary trouble to Ye Chen.

After downloading all the evidence of the illegal activities, Ye Chen restored the 3D dragon to its normal form.

"That's fine, Brother Sulu."

Sulu was indignant: "This kind of person should have been arrested by the Alliance as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will find a way to inform the higher-ups about these things when I get back."

"Thank you very much."

Sulu then used a Poké Ball to capture the two Pokémon. After watching him leave, Ye Chen made a phone call to He Sheng.

"Hey, Uncle He. I'm almost done here, and I'd like to ask you to help me investigate someone else."

"Why are you being so polite with me, kid? Just tell me."

"That man's name is Lin Quan, Lin as in double wood, and Quan as in power."

He Sheng seemed to be deep in thought: "I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before... I remember now, it seems to be the head of the Lin family in Lake City!"

"Lake City, the Lin family," Ye Chen said thoughtfully. "I shouldn't have any connection with them."

Chapter 86 The Lin Family of Lake City

He Sheng said, "No, to be precise, you two are actually related. The Lin family of Lake City is founded on Dragon-type Pokémon, and you just happened to publish a paper on Fairy-type Pokémon that is extremely detrimental to Dragon-type Pokémon!"

Every world has its own families and clans. Even in the world of the original Pokémon series, there are families like the Dragonrider Clan, the Nurse Joy Clan, and the Officer Jenny Clan.

Because of the existence of Pokémon, when a powerful trainer appears in this world, he will usually leave his training methods for a certain Pokémon to his family, or simply leave his Pokémon in the family.

This tradition was passed down from generation to generation, eventually forming families, and the legacy left by their ancestors became the foundation of these families.

However, since there are so many types of Pokémon, most families choose to specialize in one type of Pokémon to avoid being distracted.

The Lin family of Lake City is a family that specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon.

Every family has some influence, which is why they were able to mobilize so many media outlets to hype up Ye Chen's plagiarism. Otherwise, a mere university professor would obviously not have that kind of power.

In fact, when Ye Chen published his paper on Fairy-type Pokémon, he had already considered the possibility of retaliation from trainers or families specializing in Dragon-type Pokémon.

However, with the Alliance King protecting him, and those families absolutely not daring to openly declare war on the Alliance, he didn't pay much attention. He never expected that they would try to smear him from a fishing boat.

He Sheng's voice was icy: "From an official perspective, they are retaliating against the Alliance's most talented researcher in decades; but from a personal perspective, since you call me uncle, I naturally won't let you be bullied by outsiders!"

Ye Chen unconsciously felt a warmth in his heart. He had only ever felt this kind of protection from an elder from his own mother.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle He."

"Just focus on your research, leave these trivial matters to us."

After hanging up the phone, He Sheng's gaze was as cold as ice, sending chills down one's spine.

The scars on his face looked even more ferocious at this moment. Ye Yuanhao, He Sheng, and two other people were originally very good friends.

Moreover, before that incident happened, it was He Sheng who received the mission to go to that secret realm, but Ye Yuanhao took the mission from him and led the team there directly.

Therefore, He Sheng has always felt quite guilty over the years, believing that if he had been the one to go to the secret realm, Ye Yuanhao would not have disappeared. Now that his old friend's son has been bullied, how can he tolerate it?

So, he made an emergency phone call to summon all available investigators in Beijing and Hucheng, and then took the investigators from Beijing directly to Hucheng by plane.

On the plane, He Sheng began to explain the mission objective. When they heard that the target was a family, all the investigators were shocked!

"Director He, shouldn't we report to the chairman first before we go?" one of He Sheng's deputies asked hesitantly.

After all, directly targeting one family could potentially provoke discontent from other families if not handled properly.

"It's alright. If he blames you later, just tell him to come find me. I'll take responsibility for you!"

He Sheng waved his hand dismissively. Although he seemed reckless, he wasn't brainless. Reporting the Lin family's matter would only lead to the same result as before, and he was merely acting first and reporting later, so in the end, those people couldn't do anything to him.

After all, the status of an elf researcher is not just a title. Even if Lu Xinghe went abroad, people would only dare to place him under house arrest, but would not dare to harm him in the slightest!

In the eyes of the league, Ye Chen is the next Lu Xinghe!

……

Lake City.

As a family renowned for its dragon-type Pokémon, the Lin family is undoubtedly the local power in Lake City. Even the branch president of the League stationed in Lake City needs the Lin family's assistance to carry out many things smoothly!

The Lin family, who had always been arrogant and domineering, suddenly discovered one day that the status of dragon-type spirits was not so superior anymore, and that dragon-type spirits had gained a nemesis.

This directly impacted the interests of their entire family!

Although the matter was beyond repair, the Lin family, who were always vengeful, directly blamed Ye Chen, the discoverer of the fairy system, for the loss.

However, the alliance's protection of Ye Chen was very effective, and they did not dare to directly provoke the alliance by attacking Ye Chen. So they came up with this plan.

Inside the Lin family mansion.

It was dinnertime, and the whole family was sitting around a large table eating.

Lin Quan's eldest son said excitedly, "Dad, the emotions of those people have been completely stirred up today. I think it won't be long before Ye Chen becomes a rat that everyone wants to kill."

Lin Quan sneered, "He brought this on himself. Why did he have to research the nemesis of dragon-type Pokémon?"

His second son chimed in, "Yes, I think after this lesson, researchers won't dare to publish their findings that are detrimental to dragon-type Pokémon anymore!"

For families or trainers who specialize in Dragon-type Pokémon, the stronger their Dragon-type Pokémon, the higher their status.

However, Lin Quan's third son looked worried and said, "Won't the alliance find out what we've done?"

The second son mocked, "Third brother, you're too cowardly. As long as that guy surnamed Hu doesn't hand over the evidence, they can't do anything to him. And even if Professor Hu is caught, what does it have to do with us (the rich guy)?"

The eldest son laughed without any attempt to hide his laughter, saying, "Third brother, if you're so timid and hesitant in your actions, how can we entrust the Lin family's assets to you in the future?"

The third son turned pale, realizing that his two brothers were once again putting him down in front of their father.

Lin Quan interrupted the three brothers' subtle rivalry and said, "Third brother, you should learn more from your two older brothers in the future. Being overly cautious won't get you anywhere. Alright, everyone, let's eat first."

"Yes." The three brothers dared not refute and quickly answered in unison.

But just then, a rough laugh came from outside the door.

"Hahaha, as for food, I think you should eat in jail!"

"who!"

Everyone at the table was startled and looked warily toward the door.

P.S.: Thank you all for your monthly votes!

Chapter 87 The Lin Family's Foundation

The door was suddenly kicked open, and a middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his face walked in, followed by a group of investigators in uniform.

Lin Quan frowned: "Are you investigators from the Alliance? What right do you have to barge into our Lin family residence? I want to see your branch leader!"

Although he looked fierce, he was actually sweating profusely.

When did these people arrive? I wonder how much of our conversation they overheard?

He Sheng, a seasoned investigator for decades, immediately saw through Lin Quan's bluster and waved his hand, saying, "Surround them all."

In an instant, dozens of elves flew out and surrounded the Lin family members.

Lin Quan was surprised that these people were so decisive and were about to take action against him and his group.
