Chapter 93 The Reward of Kindness

After lying in bed for a day, and with all the test results normal, Chen Mu left the medical room.

To prove his innocence, he then proactively approached the group of investigators on the ship and gave a detailed statement.

During this time, he finally learned the origins of the group of investigators.

They flew in from the nearest coast to provide support after the storm had passed.

On the night the storm hit, the Saint-Téné sent dozens of distress signals to land after losing power, and it was then that the search team received the distress signals and set off.

However, by the time they arrived at the scene aboard a Flying-type Pokémon, Chen Mu and his escort team had already successfully completed their peacekeeping mission and calmed the storm at sea.

The investigators had originally planned to return home once they confirmed the crisis was over.

As soon as they landed on the Sant'Annou, they received an anonymous tip.

After listening to Chen Mu's account in its entirety, the captain of the search team, who was also the team leader who had shown Chen Mu his credentials in the hospital room, took the initiative to apologize.

"I'm very sorry, Professor Chen. We acted rashly before. I apologize for our impulsiveness and thank you for your tireless efforts and outstanding contributions to saving the Saint-Tiannu!"

Chen Mu politely shook hands with the other person, then asked, "Thank you. May I ask who reported me?"

If they can find the whistleblower, they might be one step closer to finding the mastermind behind it all.

Unfortunately, the investigation captain replied with regret.

"I'm sorry, but according to the rules and regulations of our industry, the information of whistleblowers cannot be disclosed under any circumstances. Besides, we really don't know the source of the whistleblower in this case."

Chen Mu could only nod in understanding.

Just before saying goodbye, the captain of the search team suddenly stopped Chen Mu.

"Please wait a moment, Professor Chen."

Chen Mu turned around.

The search team leader suddenly approached, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Actually, we can guess that there's probably something wrong behind this storm!"

My suggestion is that Professor Chen, you should not disclose the news that you have reached a settlement with us.

Before you disembark, you can come here often for asylum, and tell others that you are still under investigation.

After saying that, he patted Chen Mu on the shoulder and stepped back with a normal expression.

It wasn't until he turned to leave that Chen Mu realized a miniature Poké Ball had been stuffed into his sleeve!

Holy crap! Are you an investigator or a magician?

Chen Mu suddenly remembered that in the animation of his previous life, Adu often disguised himself and sneaked in, and often did some fancy and acrobatic magic tricks to change clothes in a second.

So all you investigators are from the same lineage, graduated from the same circus? He thought to himself.

After returning to his room, Chen Mu opened the Poké Ball that the investigator had given him, and an adult Sylveon appeared.

This made him immediately understand the investigator's intention: his own little Eevee could also evolve into Sylveon, and if they really encountered danger, the two Sylveons might be able to confuse the enemy's judgment.

At the same time, this Sylveon seems to be quite powerful and can provide excellent protection.

Furthermore, the investigator leader had another intention here. The released adult Sylveon quickly noticed the little Eevee that was quietly approaching it. It nimbly stretched out its ribbon, captured the little Eevee, lifted it into the air, and used the ribbon to grope the little Eevee.

The tickling made Little Eevee itch and it twisted and turned in mid-air, making giggling noises.

A short while later, the adult Sylveon finished feeling the bones, put down the baby Eevee, and slowly walked up to Chen Mu, tugging at the end of the ribbon.

Chen Mu was confused. First, he handed over a Poké Ball, which was rejected. Then he offered snacks, but that didn't work either.

It wasn't until the adult Sylveon got impatient and took matters into its own hands, snatching his phone away with a ribbon.

Then the ribbons rattled and danced, and the text was typed on the phone and played back via voice message.

"She's very healthy and developing well. She needs to eat more meat. Learn from me, I'll teach her for three days."

Chen Mu was shocked.

This Sylveon can even type on a phone using ribbons? Is it really that intelligent?

Moreover, Chen Mu finally understood the last layer of meaning behind the investigator leader giving him the Poké Ball.

He specifically asked Sylveon to guide Eevee's training.

Perhaps it was out of apology, or perhaps out of gratitude?

In short, this act of kindness is quite profound.

Eevee has just evolved and is indeed in dire need of learning new combat techniques to adapt to its new form's fighting style.

Moreover, the advice on raising Sylveon came at just the right time—Chen Mu had just recovered from a serious illness and had temporarily forgotten to adjust the little Eevee's diet.

Now little Ibuki is all grown up.

Because Pokémon evolution greatly accelerates their development process; for example, Ralts evolved into Kirlia.

They suddenly skipped their developmental stage from childhood to adolescence.

Although Eevee reverted to its original form after evolving for unknown reasons, the growth-increasing effect brought about by evolution still exists.

Chen Mu almost forgot about this matter because he saw that Little Yibu's size had not changed significantly.

It wasn't until Sylveon reminded me that I realized: Eevee's size hadn't changed, which was probably not because of evolution regression, but because she still needed a process of nutrient intake.

Thinking of this, he quickly called room service and ordered a sumptuous Pokémon nutritional meal.

The service on the luxury cruise ship was quite good; the dining cart was pushed to the cabin by the waiter in less than five minutes.

After opening the door, Chen Mu gave a slight bow.

"I don't think I ordered that much?"

A waiter smiled and said, "Don't worry, Professor Chen, these are all personal gifts from the captain and first mate."

I won't charge you.

The captain also said: Any expenses you incur on board over the next few days will be waived, and all services will be upgraded to the best. These are just some small tokens of our appreciation.

Chen Mu then smiled with relief.

Although the troubles were not completely over yet, and he was still being secretly marked, he still felt a touch of warmth at this moment.

At least his desperate efforts to save the ship that night are etched in the memories of many and will never be forgotten.

He invited Eevee and Kirlia to come over for a snack, and because there was so much food, he also went next door to call Sakura and her Growlithe over.

After the meal, Sylveon tapped its ribbon in the air to teach Eevee to sing "Enchanting Voice" and "High Note".

Kirullian listened with great interest from the side.

Outside the guest room, the investigation team and the escort trainers under the Demoness of Besquiest were all simultaneously keeping a close watch.

It protects the floor where Chen Mu's room is located.

During this smooth voyage, Cerulean City drew ever closer.
