Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

The system notification tone also sounded at the appropriate time.

"The host has been detected to have tamed the Elf Bear apprentice. Reward: 10 top-tier Fighting-type Energy Cubes and 'Martial Arts Bear Master Special Training Method'."

Ye Chen first took out a fighting-type energy cube, then broke off a small piece and fed it into the bear apprentice's mouth. The bear apprentice swallowed it whole without any problems, indicating that its body was indeed naturally extremely strong.

It can directly absorb the energy of a top-tier energy cube right after hatching, even if it's just a small piece.

Ye Chen then had Gardevoir use its psychic powers to find all the eggshell fragments that had been scattered around. These eggshells contained a lot of aura power, making them the perfect match for Kuma's first meal!

After preparing the food for it, Ye Chen opened the "19 Martial Arts Bear Master Special Training Methods" in his mind. Whether it was because he had transferred too much knowledge or because Ye Chen had awakened his wave power, he no longer had that throbbing feeling in his head.

Ye Chen easily absorbed and digested the knowledge. The Bear Disciple and Martial Arts Bear Master race of elves possess a strong inherited culture. Martial Arts Bear Masters living in the wild often live in groups.

This "Special Training Methods for Martial Arts Bear Masters" is a collection of various training and combat methods that their clan has accumulated and passed down over thousands of years, and these are the most suitable training methods for bear disciples.

Over the past thousand years, the Urshifu clan has also produced Pokémon with Aura abilities, and their special training methods have been recorded.

The bear apprentice has a special organ in his abdomen that can generate "fighting energy," somewhat similar to the dantian in martial arts fantasy novels. He can enhance his abilities through unique breathing methods and concentration.

The special organs of the bear apprentice, who possesses the talent of wave guidance, can simultaneously store both "fighting energy" and "wave guidance power"!

While further enhancing its own offensive capabilities, this "Special Training Method for Martial Arts Bear Masters" also proposes a hypothesis related to this aspect.

As we all know, the two evolutionary forms of the bear apprentice are:

The Martial Arts Bear Master's One-Strike Style is straightforward and direct, aiming to instantly kill the opponent with the strongest single strike!

The Martial Arts Bear Master Combo Style combines offense and defense, aiming for a rapid, unstoppable barrage of attacks that the opponent cannot withstand!

When a bear apprentice evolves, it can only choose one to evolve into. However, this manual, which contains knowledge passed down for thousands of years in the martial arts bear master clan, puts forward a conjecture: is it possible to master the power of both single strike and combo style at the same time!

When the bear apprentice evolved, it had already converted its "fighting energy" into energy with the characteristics of the corresponding form, so it could not be converted into another form. But with the help of the power of the wave guide, could the "fighting energy" that had already been converted be converted again?

However, since no martial arts bear master has been able to achieve this in the past thousand years, it remains only a conjecture.

Although it was just a guess, it provided Ye Chen with some ideas. Every bear apprentice was unique, and his own was especially gifted. It was possible that there was a way to do it.

You can even try to switch between the two forms first, and then further achieve the fusion of the two forms into one, Martial Arts Bear Master Grandmaster Edition!

Ye Chen was still lost in his reverie when the doorbell suddenly rang.

It was Mu Xue's spirit that sensed the unusual energy fluctuations here, so it came to investigate.

Ye Chen's Milotic and Gardevoir could detect it, so there was no reason why Mu Xue's Elite Four-level Pokémon couldn't. However, Ye Chen felt that she was more like someone who came to freeload.

The first thing Mu Xue saw was her apprentice Xiong, who was sitting obediently on a stool eating.

"What kind of spirit is this? I don't think I've ever seen it before?" Mu Xue asked curiously.

"It just hatched from its egg. I checked and haven't found any elves like this in human society yet. This should be the first one," Ye Chen explained.

"The one you picked up from the secret realm and kept in the culture medium?"

Ye Chen's previous explanation was that he found it in the secret realm and brought it back.

"Yes."

Although Mu Xue was surprised, she didn't lose her composure too much. After all, she had already seen another Pokémon, Celebi, that no human had ever discovered before, at Ye Chen's house. So, discovering another one now didn't seem like a big deal.

"You're really lucky! What's your element?"

"It seems to be a fighting-related one at the moment, but I will measure the specific data carefully later, and I should be able to publish another paper soon."

With readily available Pokémon and readily available data, this paper should be Ye Chen's simplest one in a long time, revealing a Pokémon that has not yet been discovered by humans!

Mu Xue suddenly thought of something and said, "Fighting-related? Do you need me to find a Fighting King to give you some pointers? He seems to be on a mission around here recently."

Ye Chen thought about it for a moment, but ultimately refused.

Since this kind of Pokémon, the Bear Apprentice, is appearing in this world for the first time, even the Fighting King doesn't understand it. At most, he can only offer some help with fighting techniques. Ye Chen can ask him for advice on these aspects after he has trained the Bear Apprentice.

Chapter 121 The Training Methods of the Bear Disciple

Afterwards, Ye Chen took his apprentice Xiong around the house. When they arrived at his room, they saw Celebi playing a fighting game.

Over the past month, Celebi has traded its skills with Ye Chen for a lot of games. Now it can be said that it is very proficient with computers. If it weren't short of money, it could play whatever it wants.

The bear apprentice was immediately drawn to the two fighters in the video. Celebi's character was incredibly agile in its hands, effortlessly displaying a variety of cool skills.

Seeing this brutal, hand-to-hand combat, the bear apprentice couldn't take his eyes off it, while Celebi quickly finished off his opponent and turned to see Ye Chen with the bear apprentice.

"Bi~ is Xiong's apprentice? It seems he also has the talent for wave guidance, which is quite rare."

"So you've met Xiong's apprentice, who has a talent for waveguides, before?" Ye Chen asked.

Celebi thought for a moment and said, "It's been too long. I vaguely remember that it was a martial arts bear master. It was the leader of its tribe and its strength was close to that point, which is why I have a strong impression of it."

"That node?" Ye Chen keenly grasped the key point. "Is it a divine beast?"

“That’s right, that martial arts bear master was just a step away from stepping into the realm of gods.”

Ye Chen then asked Celebi to tell him more about the martial arts bear master. The bear apprentice listened attentively, seemingly very curious about his own kind.

Ye Chen soon heard the key point.

"You mean its fighting style is very versatile 々々?"

"That's right. Its fighting style is sometimes swift and fierce, delivering a fatal blow, and sometimes it's continuous and combines strength with gentleness, almost like a split personality." After surfing the internet for a long time, Celebi can also speak some words that only humans understand.

Ye Chen seemed to be deep in thought. It was clear that the one Celebi mentioned was also trying to combine the characteristics of the two forms, and had made some progress. However, it sounded like it was still missing something and had not been completely successful.

Perhaps it is precisely because it failed to successfully fuse the two forms that it is stuck at the peak of the champion level and cannot break through.

……

A full week has passed since the bear apprentice hatched.

Ye Chen also took advantage of this time to successfully write and publish his paper on his apprentice Xiong.

However, the achievement of discovering a new type of Pokémon is enough to surprise many people, but it pales in comparison to Ye Chen's previous paper on Fairy-type Pokémon, though it still caused quite a stir worldwide.

During this time, Xiong's apprentice also officially began his training.

The training content was selected by Ye Chen from the training methods passed down by the Martial Arts Bear Master Clan. In the early stage, it mainly focused on strengthening the physical strength of the Bear disciples, which is what martial arts practitioners commonly call tempering the body.

Ye Chen also purchased a large amount of rare tree fruits and other materials based on the special medicinal bath recipe recorded in the book of inheritance. Every night, he would boil them together and let his apprentice Xiong soak in the bath.

This medicinal bath can not only relieve physical fatigue, but also greatly enhance physical strength. It also has a certain absorption effect on fighting energy, locking some of the fighting energy in the muscles.

Meanwhile, because Xiong's apprentice possesses immense wave-guiding power but cannot freely control it, he meditates daily using a special breathing technique passed down through the Xiong martial arts lineage.

Almost every day, you can see the bear apprentice training with Garchomp in the backyard. Although the training programs are different, you can still see that the two Pokémon get along very well. Sometimes Garchomp even spars with the bear apprentice, of course, this is when it has almost the entire ocean.

At this moment, the bear apprentice's personality was fully revealed; it was very serious during training and never slacked off or rested.

Unlike Garchomp, which trains hard to become stronger, Ursa seems to enjoy training as if training alone brings it joy.

Driven by this personality, Xiong's apprentice would meditate in the house after exercising in the backyard every day. He would even meditate while taking a medicinal bath. He was training Miao almost all the time except when eating and sleeping.

After Ye Chen used his waveguide power to examine it and found that there was indeed nothing wrong with its body, and that it was getting stronger every day, he let it be.

At the same time, because of Xiong's apprentice's diligent training, Ye Chen had to speed up the preparation of the next training plan.

Chapter 122 Super Evolution Stone!

As a Pokémon that was only a week old, the bear apprentice's strength had already surpassed the beginner level and become a novice Pokémon.

At this point, the effect of general training on its improvement gradually becomes less and less noticeable.

So Ye Chen found the company he had contacted when he customized the weighted equipment for his Gible on the trainer forum. It was a company that specialized in making all kinds of Pokémon training equipment, and it was one of the top companies in China in terms of both professionalism and equipment quality.

Unfortunately, the weighted gear that Gible had before its evolution is no longer usable. This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to customize the gear for Kuma, I can also make another set of training equipment for Garchomp.

After arranging a time with the company online for them to come to his home to measure the various physical data of the two Pokémon, Ye Chen suddenly remembered that he had a whole set of top-quality evolution stones that had been gathering dust at home.

That was one of the prizes for the champion of the Southwest High School Tournament at the time, which included a complete set of evolution stones including Fire Stone, Water Stone, Thunder Stone, Leaf Stone, Light Stone, Dark Stone, Moon Stone, and Sun Stone.

These evolution stones are of no use to Ye Chen, but now they can be sold online.

After all, custom-made high-end training equipment is quite expensive, so consider this a way to recoup some of the costs.

It has to be said that these items are very popular. Ye Chen had only listed them for less than five minutes when three evolution stones were sold, and all of them were sold at prices exceeding the official price of 837.

The remaining five items also received private messages from people offering bids to Ye Chen. After waiting for a while and confirming that no one else was bidding, Ye Chen selected the highest bidder from all the buyers and sold it to them.

Compared to other evolution stones, the Light Stone and Dark Stone are more expensive, so Ye Chen had to wait longer.

Just as Ye Chen was about to sell the last Light Stone to the highest bidder, he suddenly saw a message that made him stop immediately.

……

Fan Wenxin is an ordinary Pokémon trainer who earns money by exploring secret realms to obtain resources and then selling them. He also dreams of training powerful Pokémon to become a League investigator and provide a better life for his family.

But after an accident, he never set foot in the secret realm again.

His wife was hospitalized due to premature birth, but he was exploring a secret realm in search of more precious resources. When he left the realm, he learned that his wife had died in childbirth.

Fan Wenxin, feeling immense guilt for not being able to see his wife one last time, rushed to the hospital and saw her body. Despite his heartbreak, life had to go on, so he channeled his love for his wife into his children.

His son was also very promising, consistently ranking at the top of his class from elementary school to high school, and even choosing Togepi as his starter Pokémon during the summer break after his second year of high school!

This is incredible luck!

Togepi is a rare Pokémon, and the Togepi he chose seems to have exceptional talent.
