Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

However, attributes do not represent everything.

"What about Boss Dora?"

The key is to put Aggron together with these three Grass-type Pokémon.

"I think... setting aside types, if we look at it from another angle, Venusaur, Geranium, Torterra, and Aggron are all reptiles, right? Although Aggron can stand and walk on two legs after evolving into Aggron, the way it walks isn't the standard for judging whether it's a reptile..."

Torterra, Venusaur, and Geranium, the three starter Pokémon, are all Grass-type Pokémon from the Plant and Monster groups, while Aggron is also a Monster-type Pokémon. Since they belong to the Monster group, they can naturally breed with each other.

Monsters Group: Most of the creatures in this group are based on monsters and reptiles from tokusatsu films.

"Reptiles?" Dr. Yamanashi's eyes lit up.

Without further ado, he led Xia Yan and Xi Lunna to another eco-box.

"Then take a look at these."

Inside live Golem, Magneton, Glalie, and Crab.

Xia Yan didn't know where Professor Yamanashi learned that these Pokémon could breed with each other; it might have come from some breeding center, or through some other channel.

His purpose was also very clear.

Put these elves from the same group together, observe them, and figure out why they can reproduce.

Xia Yan also shared his "understanding" of this ecosystem.

"As for them... I think whether it's rock, metal, or ice, they can all be considered a type of mineral, or more precisely, inorganic matter."

"Minerals...inorganic substances..."

Dr. Yamanashi murmured and repeated Natsuhiko's words.

He quickly followed up with, "What about Crabtree-class? It's a Bug/Rock type Pokémon. Although it carries a large rock on its body, the main part of its body is actually insect-like, not an inorganic Pokémon."

Crabtree is a Pokémon similar to a hermit crab. They can change the rock on their backs, and the size of the rock they carry is used as a way to attract mates and demonstrate their strength and abilities.

So ultimately, it is actually an insect.

However, it turns out that Crabtree & Evelyn can breed with the other three Pokémon.

This is a very peculiar situation in the reproduction of elves.

"Although the main body of the Rock Palace Crab is a bug, since it has the Rock type attribute, it means that the rock on its back is actually part of its body and carries inorganic matter. Moreover, this inorganic matter has already had a great influence on it."

Does it carry inorganic matter?

Dr. Yamanashi slowly discovered.

What Xia Yan said seems to make some sense.

He also realized that he had been getting stuck on a rut.

According to Xia Yan's seemingly simple way of understanding, it seems...

Does that explanation make sense?

Is he overthinking things?

Afterwards, Dr. Yamanashi took Xia Yan on a tour of all the ecospheres in the institute, and tried to get Xia Yan to explain his views and understanding of almost each one.

These seemingly simple understandings of "classification" have made Dr. Yamanashi's eyes shine brighter and brighter.

He had overcomplicated things.

It even goes as far as the genetic level.

But after hearing Xia Yan explain it in such a "simple" way, I suddenly felt enlightened.

Now he finally understood why Sakuragi had praised Natsuhiko to him.

He does have a certain feeling and ability to guide people in the right direction, whether it's due to his unique insights, luck, or extraordinary abilities.

"Cynthia, I'll leave Xia Yan to you. I have some ideas and need to take care of them for a bit," Professor Yamanashi said to Cynthia.

Then, he sincerely said to Xia Yan, "Xia Yan, I'm sorry, I've thought of something and need to leave for a while, but thank you for your help! I will never forget your name once the experiment is successful."

Without waiting for Xia Yan's reply, he turned and left impatiently.

For researchers, inspiration is like a second life.

Xia Yan opened his mouth.

Is it really that simple?

How could they so easily get a co-authorship on the future "egg group" experiment?

This is an experiment that is almost as difficult as the "friendship" project and has a significant impact on the Pokémon world.

While it doesn't directly make you one of the two main leaders like the "Intimacy" project, it's still quite good.

Even Cynthia might not be able to get a credit.

One can imagine how much attention Xia Yan's name will attract when the results of the "Intimacy" project and this "Egg Group" project are announced.

'This is second only to the discovery of the Fairy type and the announcement of Mega Evolution...'

"Oh, by the way, there are lots of cakes and desserts on the table, remember to eat them." Dr. Yamanashi suddenly appeared at the door, said this to the two of them, and then finally left.

Xia Yan and Xiluona exchanged a glance.

Dr. Yamanashi may seem serious, but he's actually a very nice person...

“Let’s go. Dr. Yamanashi loves desserts, and high-calorie foods will help him recover his strength,” Cynthia said.

Xia Yan nodded.

"Perfect timing, I also have some things I'd like to ask you."

"what?"

"If... I mean if, I wanted to buy a piece of land in Sinnoh, or... become a Gym Leader in a town, what would I need to prepare?"

Cynthia: "???"

Chapter Six: My Idea of ​​Becoming a Gym Leader

"You want to become a gym leader?" Cynthia looked at Xia Yan with surprise.

Becoming a gym leader isn't actually that difficult.

As long as you have a Gym Leader as your father, you can naturally succeed him as Gym Leader after you come of age, and you don't have to face too much pressure from the League, because the League gives these "pure" direct descendants very high preferential treatment.

It doesn't matter if you don't have a father who's the owner of the museum.

If you become an apprentice in a gym from a young age, stand out among many apprentices, gain the appreciation of the gym leader and are accepted as a disciple, and coincidentally that gym leader has no offspring to inherit the position, then congratulations, you have successfully taken the position and become the new direct descendant of the league trainer.

But standing out from so many apprentices is easier said than done.

If none of the above conditions are met, there is still another way: make a huge contribution to the league, and use these contributions as a condition to obtain the position of gym leader.

However, this often requires a very large contribution.

In addition, in most cases, they go to small towns to serve as museum owners.

To know.

A dojo master is not just a dojo owner; they are also responsible for many other aspects of the region, such as security, economy, and development.

It's no exaggeration to say that a normal gym leader would be among the top three in power in the town, nominally lower than the mayor and the regional trainer guild master, but in reality there wouldn't be much difference.

Therefore, it is clear that becoming a gym leader is an extremely difficult thing.

Especially in established regions like Kanto and Johto, towns and cities of all sizes are already almost completely occupied, making it impossible to do anything just because you want to.

The benefits of becoming a guild master in a town are quite obvious, and only a very few people would give up the position.

In regions like Hoenn and Sinnoh, which were incorporated into the League a little later, although many towns already have fixed Gym Leaders, there are still some "leftovers" to choose from.

In fact, Xia Yan's idea was quite simple.

Now, in addition to converting all his resources into real strength, he also needs to create a sustainable path for himself that will generate a continuous stream of income.

He had already planned this out beforehand.

Establish your own Pokémon breeding farm, obtain a large amount of resources and Pokémon items from them, and exchange them for resources.

But there's a prerequisite: having your own territory.

He could choose to buy a piece of land, or simply fence off a piece of land in some remote forest and become a so-called "lord," but a lord without the permission and recognition of the alliance.

Buying a piece of land, given the area he needs, is not a cheap deal. He might end up spending all the benefits he gained in the Regigigas alternate dimension on this.

If you find a remote forest to raise them in captivity, what if the forest rangers find out?

Even if they weren't discovered by the forest rangers and found a place like an island, it still meant that the facilities were extremely inadequate.

Especially before Masaki Sonezaki invented the Spirit Transfer Storage Device, it was even more inconvenient.

Therefore, after much thought, Xia Yan seemed to think that becoming the owner of a museum in a town would be the most suitable option.

After all, once you become a gym leader, you can get involved in the planning and development of the entire town's facilities. It's quite common for him to designate a breeding area for himself as a Pokémon breeding area for the gym.

Furthermore, becoming a museum owner not only grants access to the alliance's support but also provides numerous benefits and advantages from the town.

Most importantly, the league will provide funding for the gym's normal operation until the town is functioning normally.

I ask you.

This is a behavior that's comparable to exploiting the League of Legends' resources. If you have the chance, why not give it a try?

of course.

The premise is that there is an opportunity.

Xia Yan wouldn't force the issue if there wasn't an opportunity.

You can't force it.

If the Sinnoh region doesn't work, he can try the Hoenn region. If that doesn't work either, he could even try the Unova or Kalos regions.

As for Alola... not only is that place remote, but there's no such thing as a Gym Leader. Instead, there are island kings who are similar to Gym Leaders.

The Alola region can be considered a remote island area.

He wasn't very interested.
