Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Some people felt it was highly credible because of the name "Dodo".

"If you don't believe it, please look at the nickname of the author who published this paper."

"Isn't Mr. Dodo supposed to be researching Eevee and friendship levels? How did he get involved with Milotic's domain?"

"However, Mr. Dodo, just that name alone is enough to convince people."

From ugliest to most beautiful? Is this the story of the Ugly Duckling?

"..."

There are also those who criticize Xia Yan.

"What does someone who studies Ibrahimovic know about Milotic?"

"Exactly. There's already so much to study about Ibrahimovic. Instead of focusing on his studies, he's meddling in other fields."

"Waiting to be proven wrong."

"..."

Of course, there are also the most authoritative ones.

Dr. Yamanashi: "It's a very interesting conjecture, and the arguments are quite constructive. It's very likely."

Professor Oak: "I hope I can observe Milotic for a week then."

Dr. Kumoki: "Based on previous information about Milotic's whereabouts, it's not impossible for Feebas to evolve."

Their response helped Xia Yan stabilize the situation.

Watching the comments flash by, Xia Yan smiled but showed no intention of commenting or replying.

Whether you support it or oppose it, it doesn't matter.

As long as the impact is significant enough and the traffic is substantial enough, it is a success.

Only when the impact is significant enough will it attract the attention of the alliance.

The more the alliance values it, the more benefits he can gain.

Once this paper is proven true, he will gradually shed the rather limiting title of "Ibrahimovic expert".

After watching for a while, I closed the laptop.

Not urgent.

Let things develop for a while.

Then his phone rang.

Upon picking it up, I discovered it was Cynthia.

However, before he could answer the call, a little girl wearing a black dress, with long, fluffy purple hair and a gold bracelet on her left arm, came up to him.

She pouted, looking slightly angry.

"Uncle, you can't make phone calls in the library."

Xia Yan was startled.

Uncle... Uncle?

Chapter 52 Acerola and Merdan

Looking at the little girl in front of him, Xia Yan suddenly felt that she was somewhat familiar.

I slowly remembered.

Acerola!

She will be one of the captains of Ula Ula Island in the future La Lola region, and she is also a little girl who became one of the Ghost-type Elite Four in the Alola region some time after the League moved in, around the time Ash began his journey!

Acerola's father was the owner of the Marière Library.

In her spare time, Acerola works part-time as a librarian.

A girl with close ties to Merdan, the current ruler of Ula Ula Island.

It is said that...

Acerola was able to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings only because of Merdan's recommendation.

Xia Yan's mind quickly flashed through information about the girl in front of him.

After a slight pause, he smiled apologetically at her.

"Sorry, I forgot to turn off the mute. I'll be right back."

Then the call was connected.

And the voice coming from the other end of the phone was Cynthia's.

I heard...

Xia Yan interrupted Cynthia, half-covering his phone and whispering, "I'm at the library now, I'll call you later."

Upon hearing that he was in the library, Cynthia realized that she had been somewhat out of line.

He immediately replied, "Okay."

Then he hung up the phone.

Acerola looked at Xia Yan, her cheeks still puffed out, clearly not satisfied with his behavior.

"Bu-i~~"

At this time.

Ibu, who was curled up asleep on a chair, was also woken up by the sound of the phone.

It stretched lazily, shook its soft gray-white fur, and let out a soft meow.

With a light leap, it landed on the table.

He affectionately licked Xia Yan's palm.

"Ibu!"

Acerola's eyes lit up when she saw the adorable Eevee, and she instantly forgot about Xia Yan's phone call in the library earlier.

Acerola is a girl who loves elves very much.

Whenever I have free time, I go to the House of Ethers to play with the elves living there.

Despite her childlike appearance, she is actually much older than she looks. When she became one of the Four Heavenly Kings, she was already eighteen or nineteen years old, but she looks about the same as she does now.

She's a little girl who never grows up.

If some children who love listening to stories come to the library, Acerola will kindly tell them stories.

They should already possess considerable strength.

"Buyi?"

Eevee tilted its head, blinked its bright, sparkling eyes, and looked curiously at the little girl whose face was slightly flushed, appearing quite excited.

"Uncle, is this your Eevee?" Acerola asked.

Dark lines appeared on Xia Yan's forehead.

If you don't call me uncle, everything is negotiable.

Otherwise, wouldn't I be in the same generation as that lazy,颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, decadence, or apathy) guy like Merdan?

But Acerola didn't care what Xia Yan thought; she just excitedly said:

"Eevee is quite rare in the Alola region. I've only ever seen one at the Ether House, but its color is a bit different from this one."

Acerola blinked her curious eyes.

The Alola region is not fully open yet, so Eevee is indeed rarely seen.

Xia Yan gently stroked Eevee's fur.

"Bu-i~~"

Ibrahimovic comfortably squinted his eyes and unconsciously lay down on the table.

"So cute." Acerola's little face flushed red; her girlish heart was instantly captured by Eevee.

After thinking for a moment, she called out to the corner of the bookshelf next to her, "Little Mimi."

Acerola summoned her spirit.

A creature that looks very similar to Pikachu, but with a noticeably darker color scheme and an overall grayish-white appearance.

If you look closely, it looks like someone deliberately scribbled Pikachu's image on a piece of cloth, with its head tilted, one eye bigger than the other, and a small flower tied to one ear.

But actually, there are two small holes on Pikachu's abdomen, and they are pitch black inside.

Mimikko!

Ghost-type and Fairy-type Pokémon!

Its true form is hidden under the Pikachu-shaped cloth, peeking out through two small holes.

Moreover, this is Acerola's Mimic.

It's a different colored puzzle!

It floated down directly from the air.

Xia Yan remembered that Acerola's Mimikyu was a real ghost.

"This is a little Mimi, isn't it cute?"

Acerola said with considerable pride.

When Eevee saw a Pokémon appear, it initially thought it was Pikachu and hopped over to say hello.

But you only realize it when you get closer.
