Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

Immediately, within its limited perception range, the raindrops falling from the sky transformed into small water guns at an astonishing speed, rushing towards it.

This is what real gunfire looks like!

Imagine what it would be like if, during a torrential downpour, all the raindrops turned into tiny spikes and fell down in dense, overwhelming numbers!

At a glance, countless water guns were rapidly falling from mid-air.

Although each water gun individually isn't very powerful, the sheer number of them makes up for it!

This is a scene that can induce despair just by looking at it!

Moreover, Gardevoir couldn't dodge such a wide-range attack even with teleportation, so it could only use all its strength to create a wall of light above its head.

As soon as the light wall was constructed, a clanging sound rang out as countless small water guns bombarded the light wall, rapidly wearing it down at a visible speed.

"That's enough, Milotic, stop." Ye Chen checked the time and said to the crowd.

As Ye Chen's voice faded, the ancient patterns on Milotic's body slowly disappeared, the raindrop water guns on the field turned back into ordinary rain, and then the sky gradually cleared up.

At that moment, Mega Gardevoir emitted a white light and exited its Mega Evolution state.

This was a duel between Gardevoir and Milotic; in fact, such duels have occurred several times over the past month.

Firstly, it allows Gardevoir to become more familiar with its Mega Evolution form, and secondly, it allows everyone to put their recently practiced moves into practice.

· ········Requesting flowers··· ···

After this period of training, Gardevoir has not only extended the time for Mega Evolution to five minutes, but has also reached the bottleneck of the intermediate-level advanced stage, and may break through at any time.

Milotic, on the other hand, has been exploring and tapping into the potential of his body. This is mainly because he gained too much power when he absorbed the Primal Water, so his level has not increased much for the time being.

This move, which turns rainwater into small water guns, is the latest technique developed by Ye Chen and Milotic, and it is virtually invincible in group battles!

Moreover, the path forward is very wide. For example, the water gun can be upgraded to muddy water, or even water cannon. Imagine how absurd it would be if every raindrop was a water cannon. At that time, Milotic alone could easily defeat an entire Pokémon army!

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

At the same time, they finally discovered some clues about natural energy.

For Milotic's Primal Water to grow stronger, it must absorb natural energy, but previously they didn't even know what natural energy was.

It wasn't until Ye Chen was watching a battle video that he discovered the Pokémon in the video was using the power of nature.

This is a very peculiar move. When used in different environments, the final effect will vary depending on the environmental attributes!

For example, in a volcanic environment, you use Smoke Blast; in a graveyard environment, you use Shadow Ball; in an underwater environment, you use Water Cannon; and on ice, you use Freeze Ray…

Another crucial point is that for a period of time in the previous life, the technique "Natural Force" was translated as "Natural Power"!

This forced Ye Chen to establish a connection between the two, so Milotic is now not only exploring the Origin Water more effectively, but also learning Nature Force skills from Celebi.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen himself was not idle either. In addition to continuing to study Mega Evolution, he also channeled his Aura Power into the Pokémon Egg every night before going to sleep.

After consistently inputting Aura Power for so long, Ye Chen's connection with the life inside the Pokémon egg became increasingly close, and he could even vaguely sense that the Pokémon seemed to be a bear-type Pokémon!

(It's almost explicitly stated; you should be able to guess it by now!) Big.

Chapter 119 Incubation, Bear Apprentice!

After packing up the research equipment, Ye Chen led his group of Pokémon to say goodbye to Celebi and return home.

Upon returning home, Garchomp and Milotic immediately went into the backyard. Milotic went to soak in the pool, while Garchomp went to train. Ye Chen never had to worry about it in this regard.

Celebi, as always, went straight into the room to start its gaming journey. It had already switched to several games during this time. Gardevoir, on the other hand, went alone to the room where Ye Chen usually made Power Cubes.

It's worth mentioning that in this month, it not only perfectly crafted its own top-tier Psychic-type Energy Cube, but also learned from Ye Chen how to craft the Water-type Energy Cube needed by Milotic and the Dragon-type Energy Cube needed by Garchomp.

So now Gardevoir is in charge of the team's meals, and it is very enthusiastic about it. Every time it sees everyone happily eating the energy cubes it made, it feels very satisfied.

Of course, Ye Chen was still making the energy cubes that were traded to the Xiang Group himself, since the quantity was quite large. If Gardevoir were to make those batches, it probably wouldn't even have time for training.

Arriving at the culture medium, Ye Chen reached out and touched the smooth eggshell.

Then, as usual, he transmitted his aura power into the eggshell, thinking that this time, like before, the Pokémon egg would silently absorb his aura without any reaction.

However, a childish voice rang in Ye Chen's mind.

"Owner!"

Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes. This was the first time in a month that he had received a response from the Pokémon inside the egg.

Could it be that……

Sure enough, the next moment, a small crack appeared on the eggshell, and then the crack slowly widened.

Ye Chen was still using his Aura Force, so from his perspective, he could see strands of Aura Force bursting out from the cracks, as if a massive Aura Force was breaking through the eggshell!

However, because Ye Chen had been consistently channeling his Aura power into the egg every day for the past month, although most of it was absorbed by the Pokémon inside, a small portion was also distributed inside the eggshell and eventually absorbed by the eggshell itself.

This caused the eggshell to seem too hard, with more and more cracks appearing on the shell, even covering the entire shell, but it seemed to be just one step away from being truly broken.

"In that case, let me lend you a hand!"

"The power of waveguides resides within my heart!"

Ye Chen's efficiency in inputting waveguide power has increased dramatically. Because he has been using waveguide power every day for the past month, his waveguide power has made great progress!

Kaka!

The sound of the eggshell cracking intensified, and with a flash of white light, the eggshell shattered into pieces, scattering everywhere.

What appeared before Ye Chen was a gray bear-like elf with white fur on its forehead and the back of its head, making it look like it was wearing a white headscarf.

"It's Xiong's apprentice!" Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise.

In his previous life, Kuma was one of his favorite Pokémon. It first appeared in the Isle of Armor map in the eighth generation Sword and Shield DLC. It was given to the protagonist by Mash, the master of Leon, the champion of the Galar region. It has two evolution forms.

The bear apprentice is a spirit with a strong and serious character, and he will complete any training meticulously!

Whether it was because Ye Chen's bear apprentice absorbed too much of Ye Chen's aura power while it was still in the egg or for some other reason, its size after hatching was almost the size of a normal bear apprentice.

Moreover, an astonishing waveguide power was faintly emanating from the special organ in the abdomen that could generate "fighting energy"!

Elf: Bear Apprentice

Level: Beginner

Qualification: Champion level

Ability: Spiritual Power

Skill: Wave Missile

Evaluation: With a natural affinity for Aura and having absorbed an excessive amount of Aura power, Kuma's talent far surpasses that of a typical Champion-level Pokémon. If he can practice Aura power with a trainer, he may be able to unleash unimaginable power!

The bear apprentice was even a beginner-level Pokémon right after it was born, which shows how much power it absorbed while it was in its egg.

Moreover, it seems that because he absorbed too much of Ye Chen's waveguide power, he was born with the ability to use wave missiles!

Although Milotic and Gardevoir could not detect the presence of the Aura, they still sensed the special aura that erupted when Kuma was born!

So they all walked towards Ye Chen. Although Garchomp didn't know what had happened, it also came over.

Only Celebi remained in the room, motionless, and nothing could disturb it when it was engrossed in its game!

"Nus?"

"Shauna?"

"Roar?"

The three elves stared in surprise at the bear apprentice standing on the table. Had the elf egg finally hatched?!

"You've come at the perfect time! This is our new partner, Kushala Daora, and these are your predecessors Milotic, Gardevoir, and Garchomp!"

The bear apprentice looked at Ye Chen and the three elves in front of it, frowning as if it wanted to say something, but in the end, a feeling of closeness made it grin at everyone.

Its laughter instantly eased the tense atmosphere.

Since the bear apprentice had grown quite large, Ye Chen could no longer hold it in his hands like he had when Ralts first hatched; he could only hold it in his arms like a child.

Garchomp and Gardevoir curiously peered over at the newcomer to their team, but the bear-like creature seemed to repel Garchomp's fierce appearance and pushed away its face, which was too close.

Compared to Garchomp, it still prefers a gentle, mother-type Pokémon like Gardevoir, and Garchomp, seeing this, walked away dejectedly.

Milotic seemed conflicted, wanting to get closer but not quite, so to accommodate Milotic's proud and aloof attitude, Ye Chen took the initiative to carry his bear apprentice over.

Milotic then looked up and carefully examined its new companion, while Bear Apprentice 3.3 also looked curiously at this gorgeous and noble elf, but it was more concerned about the ancient and savage aura emanating from Milotic.

This is because the bear apprentice is born with the ability to control waveguides, so it can easily see through some hidden things, such as the aura of the Primal Water hidden in Milotic's body.

Seeing that Garchomp was looking rather sullen, Ye Chen specially brought his bear apprentice over.

"My dear apprentice, this is a Garchomp. It's very powerful in close combat. You should learn from it more in the future."

Upon hearing that Garchomp was incredibly skilled in close combat, Kuma's eyes lit up as he looked at Garchomp expectantly, while Garchomp, seeing this, danced with joy.

Ye Chen smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this. Maintaining a positive atmosphere within the team is one of the trainer's important responsibilities!

Chapter 120 The Two Evolutionary Forms of the Bear Disciple

After Ye's mother returned home, Ye Chen introduced her to Xiong's apprentice, making sure Xiong's apprentice was familiar with everyone.

Ye Chen then took out a Poké Ball and gently touched the forehead of his bear apprentice. The Poké Ball sucked the bear apprentice in and captured it without it moving at all.
