An elf, a genius scientist who traveled from the world of One Piece.

Chapter 26 A Tree's Little Secrets

The next day, Kazuki arrived at the Pokémon Center in Azure City.

His elf wasn't seriously injured; he mainly wanted to ask Joey what had happened to his testicles.

Oh, we probably can't call it "egg" anymore.

"I'm sorry, little Yishu, we are only responsible for treating illnesses, not for research. We don't know why your spirit became like this."

Looking at the elf with three oval faces, grass leaves on its head, and a body like a coconut tree stump beside the tree, Joy Saori explained while her eyes showed a strong curiosity.

Following Su Sheng's Umbreon a few months ago, this is the second time in recent times that she has encountered a Pokémon she has never seen before.

Other trainers at the Pokémon Center also turned to look at them with curiosity.

However, this is not a particularly rare occurrence.

The Pokémon Pokédex has not yet been developed.

Professor Oak's lectures often introduce new Pokémon that the public has never seen before.

For example, the Dark type was only recently discovered by Professor Oak.

Many Dark-type Pokémon have been making headlines recently.

Joy Saori then analyzed:

"However, after we gave it a physical examination, we found that it was very healthy. As for if you want to know more about this new species of Pokémon, I recommend that you go to Kanto and ask Professor Oak."

Currently, the highest and only authority in the Pokémon academic community is Yukinari Oak.

"All right."

Once he was sure his partner was alright, Kazuki felt much relieved.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this should be considered an evolution.

"So what should I call you now?"

Yishu pinched his chin, looking somewhat troubled.

The evolved form of Egg... I guess I'm the first in the world to do this?

I don't even know what to call it anymore.

"Hey little brother, I've never seen this elf before."

Just then, a young man curiously approached.

"Huh? Is something the matter?"

Yishu turned his head to look at the other person.

This person was none other than the trainer of the Tauros that underwent surgery in Susan yesterday.

"It's nothing, I was just passing by and saw that Miss Joey didn't seem to be able to answer your question."

Tauros's trainer crossed his arms and muttered complaints:

"The league's level is really bad; it's expensive and the skill level is mediocre..."

"I'll be going now if there's nothing else."

Yishu had no interest in listening to his complaints.

"No, no, no, I'll tell you, I know a really good doctor, right on the beach, you can go see him..."

Ever since his Kentauro miraculously survived, he has become a fan of Su Sheng.

"ha?"

A tree blinked its eyes.

There's nothing wrong with my spirit's body; the only thing bothering me now is the way it's addressed.

There's no need to see another doctor.

Moreover, Yishu didn't think there were any doctors better than the Joey family.

Besides, this isn't something a doctor can solve, is it?

If we're going to look for someone, we should look for a researcher like Dr. Oki.

However, the way this person's eyes lit up when he mentioned that doctor was striking.

Yishu still decided to go and take a look.

Anyway, he came back to Zhanlan City this time just to try his luck.

……

Before long, following the man's advice, Yishu arrived at a detached house by the sea in Azure City.

"Is this the place...? Hmm!?"

Just as Yishu was about to knock on the door, his expression suddenly changed.

He noticed through the window that a black Eevee was fast asleep against the curtains at the table inside the room.

"Is it...the same one?"

Coming to his senses, Yishu muttered to himself.

When he looked over again...

He discovered that Umbreon, which had been sleeping soundly with its eyes closed, had suddenly stood up and was staring at him warily with its scarlet eyes.

One tree was so frightened that it fell to the ground with a thud.

Just then, the door opened.

"What are you doing?"

Su Sheng raised an eyebrow and asked.

Yishu quickly got up, patted the dust off his backside, and said:

"Um... I heard there's a doctor here with excellent medical skills..."

"Oh? Your spirit is injured?"

"Uh... it's not exactly an injury, it's just that somehow, it suddenly changed its appearance."

Although he already knew from Nurse Joy that there was nothing wrong with his Pokémon's health.

However, to avoid arousing suspicion, Ichiki still released his egg-evolved form.

"Oh? Isn't this a coconut palm tree?"

Su Sheng's eyes lit up; this was the first time he had ever seen a coconut tree since he transmigrated here.

"Exeggutor tree? Is that its name?"

A tree full of curiosity.

"You just said it suddenly changed its appearance? What exactly happened?"

Su Sheng did not answer Yi Shu's question, but instead asked the other party a question in return.

Compared to the era when Ash set off on his adventure.

In the current era of the Pokémon world, many things are still in the development stage.

This includes many unknown spirits.

Dark-type Pokémon were only recently discovered and officially announced by Professor Oak.

Fairy-type seems to have yet to be discovered; even Jigglypuff's trainer thought it was a pure Normal-type.

"Well……"

Yishu frowned and thought for a moment, then said:

"I was camping in the Enchanted Forest. I released all my Pokémon to prepare for camping, including Exeggcute. I was setting up my tent when I turned around and found that my Exeggcute was gone. In its place was this Exeggutor you mentioned."

"I was startled at the time, thinking that my eggs had been eaten by something. It was only after the birds kept explaining that I realized that they were my eggs."

The explanation of "a tree baring its fangs and claws".

Su Sheng squinted, thought for a moment, and then asked:

Was there anything nearby at the time?

To evolve Exeggutor into Exeggutor, you need the item "Grass Stone".

However, currently the online shopping site only sells Water Stone, Fire Stone, and Thunder Stone.

After Su Sheng's research over this period, the Grass Stone has not yet been discovered.

This Exeggutor probably stumbled upon a Grass Stone in the wild before it evolved.

Upon hearing this, Yishu thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing, I specifically chose an open space to camp. Apart from a large rock covered in moss, there's nothing else around..."

Upon hearing this, Su Sheng immediately guessed what the rock was.

Mossy rock!

In the game, it has the same effect as the Grass Stone, allowing Eevee to evolve into Leafeon.

"Don't worry, this is just normal evolution, your Exeggutor is healthy."

As Su Sheng spoke, he went back into his room to tidy up briefly, grabbed a backpack, and prepared to leave.

"Huh? Are you going out?"

Yishu was stunned for a moment. Why was he suddenly leaving?

"I'm very interested in that stone you mentioned."

Evolution Stones are also one of Su Sheng's main research areas; otherwise, he wouldn't have been buying water, fire, and lightning evolution stones online in such large quantities.

Now that we know about the raw materials for Grass Stone, why would we let it go?

Watching Su Sheng's departing figure, Yi Shu suddenly said:

"Um... if you don't mind, I'll show you the way. I'm just killing time anyway."

Although he said that, Yishu actually had his own ulterior motives.

A rare black Eevee, and this guy's age and build... match the Joker perfectly!
