Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

In a ruined area on the outskirts of the city, you can tell just by looking at it that a fierce battle has just taken place.

Mu Xue sat on a huge boulder, intently watching the live stream of the Southwest University Tournament on her phone.

After this period of cleanup, all of the Genesis Society's tentacles within the Xia Kingdom have been severed, and this is the last hiding place of their remaining forces.

After seeing Blaziken defeated by Garchomp, Mu Xue smiled faintly, turned off her phone, stood up, stretched lazily, and said, "Hurry up and pack up, I'm going home."

The investigators below, responsible for apprehending and cleaning up the battlefield, stood at attention and answered loudly:

"yes!".

Chapter 112 Rewards: Keystones and Superpowers!

Although Rongcheng No. 2 Middle School lost, they still received applause from everyone.

It's not that they're weak, but that their opponents are just too strong!

Afterwards, the official organizers selected the best individual, and unsurprisingly, Ye Chen won the award.

With the conclusion of the awards ceremony, Rongcheng No.1 Middle School once again won a championship trophy, while Ye Chen and his four teammates received a prize of 20 million League Coins, a complete set of evolution stones, and any Pokémon item.

The Alliance Coins were given directly as a check, which they were to distribute among themselves.

A complete set of top-quality evolution stones was directly distributed to the five people.

The spirit items are obtained by having the five players state what they want first, then reporting it to the alliance, which then retrieves them from the inventory and distributes them to each player. Therefore, they are not available yet.

Even after deducting taxes, each person can receive more than 300 million Alliance Coins just from the team bonuses.

In this five-person team, Ye Chen decided to participate in the competition because of the system's reward, Jiang Shuyun did so because of his love for Pokémon battles, Fatty Guo Shengfu wanted to achieve something to show his father, and Qi Jun wanted to get into a good university in the future.

Everyone has their own reasons and motivations, but Liu Lixuan's motivation was to achieve a good ranking in order to pay for his mother's expensive surgery!

For him, this was the biggest motivation that gave him the courage to step into the secret realm. Compared to this, other reasons such as showing off his talents and enjoying the fun of elf battles had to take a back seat.

Fortunately, the ending was good; they successfully won the championship among many high school teams.

For Liu Lixuan, this money was more than enough to cover his mother's surgery and subsequent care costs. With the remaining money, he could also buy more training tools and nutritional supplements for his Pokémon.

So he was the most excited one!

He could barely contain his emotions, and with tears in his eyes, he sincerely thanked everyone.

Guo Shengfu said, "We're all good brothers, no need for thanks. We've won the championship today, so let's talk about something happy. Tonight, I'll treat everyone to a celebration at my hotel."

"Does your family own a hotel?" everyone asked in surprise.

For so long, Guo Shengfu has never said what his family does, but everyone knows that his family must be quite wealthy, after all, the Black Belt is one of the Fighting-type Pokémon items, and none of the Pokémon items are cheap.

This can be seen from the fact that the champion of this competition only received one Pokémon item as a prize.

"Huh? Didn't I say that?" Guo Shengfu scratched his head and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, my dad specifically said before we left today that if we win the championship, he'll pay for everything we spend today!"

As the group chatted and laughed, preparing to leave, a voice came from behind them.

"how did you do it?"

Everyone turned around and looked at Meng Ming, who had asked the question, with a puzzled expression.

"How did you manage to retain your fighting ability after that attack?" Meng Ming stared intently at Ye Chen.

"Oh, you mean that?" Ye Chen smiled and said, "Your attack was indeed very powerful. After being enhanced by various forces, it even reached the level of a senior. Even Garchomp had to use a Stand move to block it."

Meng Ming was taken aback: "A substitute technique..."

Then, unwilling to give up, he asked, "But when did Garchomp get behind Blaziken? Even I, the trainer, didn't notice it at first!"

"It's the Sand Cloak ability. After the Sand Hell was shattered into a sky full of sand, Garchomp used the Sand Cloak ability to sneak up behind Blaziken."

Ye Chen spoke casually, but the situation at the time was actually not that simple.

At the time, Garchomp was also seriously injured. Even though it used its Stand to block the attack, the aftershock still severely injured Garchomp again. In the end, it used its last bit of strength to defeat Blaziken with a bite.

After hearing Ye Chen's explanation, Meng Ming seemed to relax instantly.

"I never expected that even with all this, I still couldn't beat you. You deserve this championship, I'm completely convinced!"

Even with Blaziken's breakthrough to advanced intermediate level and the added buffs, it still couldn't defeat Garchomp. After this battle, Meng Ming finally let go of his desire to compete with Ye Chen.

This person's progress is simply outrageous. When they first met, he was just a Gible that defeated him with a cheap trick, but now he can completely crush him.

· ········Requesting flowers··· ···

And to make matters worse, he's an elf researcher. Where can you even begin to reason with him?

As soon as the group came out, a bunch of people with long guns and short cannons rushed towards them. If they were entangled with them, it would probably take two or three hours to get rid of them.

So Lao Liu immediately went to deal with the reporters, allowing Ye Chen and his group of five to slip away.

After they parted ways, they decided to go home first to store the reward, and then meet up again at Guo Shengfu's hotel that evening.

Actually, Ye Chen wasn't too concerned about the rewards given by the event organizers; the system rewards were more important to him.

Keystones are crucial for the Mega Evolution of Pokémon. With this keystone, combined with the Gardevoir Mega Evolution Stone obtained earlier, Ye Chen can attempt Mega Evolution with Gardevoir.

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

I won't say much about the mysterious sprite egg; the sprite given by the system will definitely have good aptitude.

As for superpowers, they are a special ability similar to the Power of Everlasting, which can significantly enhance the trainer's own combat power. However, Ye Chen has never heard of any human in this world possessing such an ability.

Overall, the system rewards this time were far more generous than Ye Chen had imagined.

After returning home, Ye Chen first took out the Pokémon egg that the system had rewarded him with and put it into the culture medium that had previously contained the Ralts Pokémon egg.

The egg was covered with gray spots of varying sizes, and even Ye Chen couldn't tell what kind of Pokémon it was.

"You played a great match just now. Celebi was so happy when you won that she shouted with joy," Mother Ye said gently.

Ye Chen wasn’t surprised that his mother would watch his match livestream, but he was surprised that Celebi hadn’t played the game but had come to watch his match instead. This wasn’t like Celebi at all!

Faced with Ye Chen's surprised gaze, Celebi turned its head and chuckled: "Your Garchomp foundation is very solid, but your use of energy is clearly not as good as Milotic's Gardevoir."

Ye Chen knew this too, after all, Milotic and Gardevoir had eaten Energy Cubes with Miracle Berry added.

"I can teach it how to use it flexibly, but..."

Ye Chen instantly understood: "No problem, the game!"

Celebi grinned and said, "Deal!"

Chapter 114 The Super Evolution Experiment Begins!

That evening, Ye Chen arrived at Guo Shengfu's hotel, which, while not the best in Chengdu, was still among the top-ranked.

As expected of a businessman, Xiao Guo's father, Lao Guo, erected a huge screen outside the hotel, displaying photos of Ye Chen and his team winning the championship, with a caption below.

"Warmest congratulations to Rongcheng No.1 High School for winning the championship of this year's Southwest University Competition!"

Now that the sign was up, everyone knew that the celebration banquet for the Rongcheng No. 1 Middle School team was being held here, and that some people with "837" in mind could even find out that Guo Shengfu, one of the team members, was the boss's son.

If it were just a regular college tournament champion, it wouldn't be worth Lao Guo's fuss over. After all, the college tournament is held once a year, and there's only one champion each year, so it's not particularly rare.

But this year's college competition is different!

Before the competition, no one expected that Ye Chen, a researcher of Pokémon, would participate in this competition, and even dominate the field and win the award for best individual!

As a result of Ye Chen's influence, the champion team's status this year is quite different from previous years!

People might wonder if the hotel owner has any connection with Ye Chen, and what the relationship is between his son and that person.

Some people even come specifically to see what kind of place Ye Chen held his victory celebration banquet.

This is Ye Chen's current influence!

Ye Chen had no complaints about Lao Guo's actions, since it hadn't affected him. Moreover, it was possible that Lao Guo was simply happy for his son's achievements and was so excited that he made such a big fuss.

During the meal, he cleverly left space for Ye Chen and the other five, as well as Coach Liu, so that no one felt awkward because of his presence.

Everyone enjoyed the meal, and the relationship between the guests and hosts unintentionally became closer.

……

The competition officially ended, and Ye Chen and his friends returned to their normal school life.

This semester is the last semester of senior year. In two or three months, it will be the college entrance examination. Even the most mischievous students have become serious.

However, because of their victory in this competition, Ye Chen and his team have received numerous invitations from universities.

I don't need to elaborate on how it feels to have already been admitted to a university while everyone else is studying diligently.

Mu Xue returned the day after the competition ended.

Perhaps afraid that Ye Chen would worry, she didn't tell him what she was going to do this time, and Ye Chen naturally pretended not to know.

Life seemed to have returned to normal. Ye Chen would occasionally ask Mu Xue to give Milotic some pointers, and she readily agreed.

In addition, Ye Chen would occasionally come to the Green Forest Secret Realm to experiment with his new ideas about Pokémon training. At first, Celebi in the Green Forest Secret Realm would curiously watch from the side.

Once, Ye Chen brought his Celebi to the Green Forest Secret Realm so that it wouldn't be bored at home. Little did he know that it was carrying a cell phone with it, which immediately aroused the curiosity of the other Celebi.

Seeing the two Celebi staring at the phone screen without blinking, Ye Chen couldn't help but wonder if the Celebi species were born with severe internet addiction.

That day, a uniquely styled bracelet with grooves was delivered to Ye Chen's home.
