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

Chapter 71 Aleube's Idea

Early the next morning.

"Pear Blossom's cooking is still as bad as ever. I'm going to catch a new Pokémon. Hmm, I've decided on Gardevoir."

At breakfast time, Yishu's chubby cheeks jiggled as she chewed, complaining about Lihua's cooking as she ate.

Because it was obvious that Su Sheng was in a bad mood, Li Hua got up early this morning to make breakfast.

But judging from the current situation, if it weren't for Su Sheng and the Pokémon here, Pear Blossom would have been tempted to turn the whole tree into breakfast.

"Ah Sheng, you still haven't told us what you're planning to do."

Pear Blossom silently made a mental note of Yi Shu's actions, then changed the subject.

We'll deal with this fat kid later!

Yi Shu also stopped chewing and turned to look at Su Sheng with curiosity.

Although he knew that Su Sheng's trip to Alola was to help Umbreon break through its bottleneck.

But how exactly do you do it?

"Let's go to the Etheric Artificial Island."

Etheric artificial island?

Upon hearing this word, both Yishu and Lihua were taken aback.

It is a large, man-made island located in the center of the Alora Islands.

Many people also refer to it as the "fifth island" of the Alora region.

It serves as the headquarters of the "Ether Foundation".

"The Ether Foundation... I remember it's an organization primarily dedicated to protecting elves, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Yishu said:

"They seem to rescue wild Pokémon that have been abandoned by their groups and are unable to live independently, and they also adopt Pokémon that have been abandoned by their trainers. They are a compassionate organization."

"That's not all,"

Pear Blossom replied:

"It seems they've also conducted in-depth research on 'Ultra Beasts'."

"Ultimate Beast? What the hell?"

A tree with a question mark on its head.

Pear Blossom rolled her eyes inwardly. "Read more books when you have time."

As she spoke, Pear Blossom tossed a book she had bought at the bookstore yesterday to One Tree.

Ultra Beasts are creatures that have been appearing out of nowhere in various parts of Alola in recent years.

Not only in Alola, but throughout the entire Pokémon world, these are strange Pokémon that have never been heard of before.

They often possess considerable and terrifying power.

Each time it appears, it is almost always only the island king or even the four island gods who can suppress it.

"Alola has always wanted to become a member of the Pokémon League, and the local Pokémon Professor Kukui has been working hard to push for it, but the Indigo League has been slow to agree."

Su Sheng spoke up, "On the one hand, Alola itself is indeed lacking in strength, and on the other hand, the secret of Ultra Beasts has not yet been revealed, and headquarters feels that it is also risky for regions with uncertain safety to join the League."

"But what does the Aether Foundation's research into Ultra Beasts have to do with helping Umbreon break through its bottleneck?"

Having gained a basic understanding of what "Ultra Beasts" are, Ichiki raised a new question.

Su Sheng got up to clear the plates, followed closely by a pear tree in full bloom.

As the three of them packed up and prepared to leave, Su Sheng explained:

"Ultra Beasts are a very special type of Pokémon. One of the reasons they are special is that it is difficult to determine their type from their appearance."

"For example, do you know the Pokémon 'Shug'?"

Upon hearing this, Pear Blossom replied without hesitation:

"The evolved form of 'Pot Monster' looks like a Grass-type, but it's actually a Rock-type Pokémon, right?"

"That's right, Ultra Beasts also have this characteristic; it's often difficult to determine their true nature based on their appearance."

Speaking of this, Su Sheng thought of Xu Wu Yi De again.

When you first see that jellyfish, who would have thought it's a rock and poison?

"So in order to deal with Ultra Beasts, the Aether Foundation began trying to create a Pokémon that possesses all types."

Upon hearing this, the pear blossoms on the tree were all startled.

With a tremor of his hand, the plate fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the bird in the tree was quick-witted and used its "telekinesis" to catch the plate that was about to fall.

"A Pokémon with all types? How...how is that possible?!"

Ignoring the plate that nearly fell to the ground, Yishu exclaimed incredulously.

Although Pear Blossom wasn't as dramatic as Yi Shu, the shock on her face was no less than that of the other woman.

While in the real world, the type advantages and disadvantages in Pokémon can be as exaggerated as in the games, and there are many ways to make up for type disadvantages, but... does a Pokémon possess all types?

Not invincible anymore!?

To be precise, it doesn't mean possessing all attributes, but rather being able to switch between any attributes.

That's right, Su Sheng was talking about the artificial Pokémon—Silzycomb.

You can change the attributes by switching discs.

Unlike in games where you have to fight until you die after using a certain disc, this is different.

In this real world, you can cut a storage disc anytime.

Gladio did this before.

"Switch attributes... Wait! Asheng, what are you trying to do!?"

Pear Blossom had already guessed what Su Sheng was planning to do.

That's right. Strictly speaking, isn't Eevee a type of Pokémon with multiple attributes?

Based on the Eevee evolutions that have appeared in Professor Oak's lectures so far, there are five: Fire, Water, Thunder, Sun, and Moon.

It's unknown whether there will be other types in the future.

However, after Eevee evolves, its attributes are completely fixed.

But if it could be switched...

Pear Blossom couldn't imagine how strong it must be.

"That's Arceus."

Su Sheng smiled.

That's right, isn't this just Ibrahimovic's version of Arceus?

Abbreviated as Alzombie.

Su Sheng's reference template is still Arceus, not Sisyphe.

Although in the real world, Silent Companion can switch discs at any time.

But that also requires the owner's help.

When masters clash, the outcome can often be decided in a single second.

There's no time for you to leisurely change discs.

But Arceus is different; I can replace it myself!

Furthermore, Arceus has an amazing ability to switch attributes: once I switch attributes, your attribute becomes completely ineffective against me!

This is just the ability of the clone; who knows what other powerful moves the original has up its sleeve?

Although the method of switching types with Silvally is a bit complicated, Su Sheng still needs to refer to Silvally's development data to modify Umbreon's genes.

It must be said that geniuses exist in every world.

Su Sheng himself learned everything from Begabank.

But he has not yet claimed to be invincible.

For example, the person who was able to develop the Silvally AR system is definitely a genius!

"There's still so much to learn."

As Su Sheng finished cleaning up the dishes and wiping his hands, he sighed.

"Leave one to guard the outpost, let's go."

Su Sheng turned to the two of them and said.

Leaving one to guard the base is not only to prevent wild Pokémon from invading, but also to protect the Pokémon egg that is soaking in the nutrient solution.

Yishu and Lihua exchanged glances.

The last tree left its natural bird behind to guard the stronghold.

The trio arrived at the port of Hao'ola and bought three tickets for the ferry to Ether Island.

Heading towards that pure white island in the center of the Alola Sea.

Although many authors have probably already said this, I'll still say it again: Never forget September 18th.
