Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

If Beedrill can skillfully utilize the Electric-type energy bestowed upon it by Zapdos, it will at least have some countermeasures against Flying-type Pokémon that are super effective against it, thus increasing Beedrill's offensive capabilities to some extent.

And it's not just against flying-type opponents.

Let's imagine.

If Beedrill's attacks were imbued with Electric energy, or even combined with the paralyzing effects of Electric energy and its own toxicity, wouldn't it become even more terrifying?

Of course, this is just Xia Yan's current imagination. To reach this level, Beedrill will need a considerable amount of time to train and adapt.

"Okay, you can try this slowly later. Let me tell you about today's training content."

As he spoke, Xia Yan called over Pidgey and Ditto, which had transformed into Beedrill.

"Beedrill, starting today, Pidgeotto will be your training partner."

Xia Yan first explained his arrangements.

As a Flying-type Pokémon, Pidgeotto inevitably has a certain type advantage over the Bug-type Beedrill.

Although it is not as strong as Beedrill, it can still provide a good training effect.

"Pidgeotto's ability is Keen Eyesight. Its sharp eyes allow it to better lock onto its targets. This is a Pokémon ability, but I hope you can try to learn Pidgeotto's vision ability. I don't expect you to be able to achieve a level similar to Keen Eyesight, but I hope you can use it to better find the weaknesses of each enemy."

"Hiss?"

A look of confusion appeared in Beedrill's eyes.

It understood the previous plan, but to find the weaknesses of different enemies, those enemies had to appear first.

Then Xia Yan looked at Ditto and said, "Ditto, you can transform into quite a few different Pokémon, right?"

Ditto didn't say anything.

But as its body continued to twist and change, a Nidoking soon appeared in Xia Yan and Beedrill's sight.

Then Ditto transformed again, becoming Nidoran.

So you can really switch genders at will?

"Very good." Xia Yan clapped his hands to signal that it could stop.

Turning to Beedrill, he said, "Do you understand? Battles are unpredictable, anything can happen, and timing is crucial. But the prerequisite for discovering an enemy's weakness is that you need to have a good understanding of this type of Pokémon."

Beedrill's ability is Sniper; if used well, it's a god-tier ability, but if used poorly, it becomes a useless ability.

This was clearly demonstrated in the Beedrill duel between Natsuhiko and Fukichi.

Both were Beedrill, both were veteran-level, but Xia Yan's Beedrill seized the opportunity, found the weakness, and combined with the type suppression and additional effects of the Flying-type move, Acrobatics, it truly achieved a one-hit kill.

In reality, the damage was definitely excessive, but that was exactly the kind of extreme attack Xia Yan wanted.

Beedrill is a fragile assassin; the longer the battle lasts and the longer it gets entangled, the more disadvantageous it becomes.

Furthermore, the reason why Beedrill was able to find its weakness was because Beedrill was quite familiar with its own kind of Pokémon; it might not have been able to do the same with a different Pokémon.

So now Xia Yan needs to increase Beedrill's knowledge base.

"That's all for today's training. Go on." Xia Yan waved his hand.

Beedrill has training ingrained in its very being; it can train even without Xia Yan.

But he had more important things to do.

I sat under the eaves of the house in the courtyard, pulled over a table, and placed my newly acquired laptop on it.

Install software bought from the black market that prevents intrusion and hacking while also scrambling IP addresses.

This software cost Xia Yan a lot of money.

He will create a special document on his computer to store detailed information about Beedrill and his other Pokémon, so that he can continuously adjust the direction of Pokémon training and growth in the future.

of course.

That wasn't his purpose in taking out his computer today.

Log in to the alliance's official website.

I browsed through a lot of videos uploaded by various people, and there were some pretty good battle videos.

For example, the video "Denvoy Daigo of the Hoenn region VS Cynthia, the girl from Sinnoh's Sinnoh town" has extremely high views and likes.

After lingering briefly on the homepage, Xia Yan entered the category page that the alliance had created specifically for researchers from various regions.

The authors of the pinned posts were all people whose names he was very familiar with.

For example, Professor Oak, Professor Elm, Professor Birch, Professor Yamanashi, and so on.

Xia Yan quietly registered an account for himself.

"What should I call him...?"

After thinking for a moment, I finally tapped the door gently with my fingertip.

Have it.

Dodo bird!

A name that is understated yet profound.

Then a separate project was created, named...

Regarding the possibility of Eevee having other evolutionary forms besides the three existing ones.

This was a topic he came up with after careful consideration, intended as a stepping stone into the field of research.

Because this topic won't be very sensational, there are many people doing research on it.

After it was confirmed that Eevee could evolve into Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon respectively after coming into contact with Fire Stone, Water Stone, and Thunder Stone, many people tried to induce Eevee to evolve into other forms using evolution stones of other types, but to no avail.

Therefore, many people publish similar research topics, so they don't attract special attention.

Gradually deepen the understanding of the topic, and then guide others to make similar attempts. As long as one person produces an evolution other than Flareon, Vaporeon, or Jolteon, the topic can be considered a success.

Anyway, it will appear sooner or later. Maybe no one will pay attention now, but maybe in a few years it will be dug up like an old post by someone who has read it before.

Xia Yan wasn't in a hurry. He could make more conclusions like that in the future, such as another evolution of Slowpoke, or Electabuzz evolving into Electabuzz.

Once these findings are proven one by one, he will suddenly become famous.

Thus, when people discover that these topics and conjectures have already existed, no one will find it abrupt.

Of course, in addition to this, he will continue to release some more research topics that are easier to verify, such as descriptions of some Pokémon's hidden abilities.

Make some money.

Thus, Beedrill trained with the help of Pidgeotto and Ditto, while Xia Yan presented his reasonable "conjectures" and various conditions to prove them.

Time flies.

The sun sets in the west, and the moon rises in the east.

Just as Xia Yan finished writing this "thesis"-like topic, a sudden commotion in the living room caught his and Beedrill's attention.

Because they discovered that the elf eggs in the incubator had developed cracks!

Chapter Eight: Someone's there?

Knock knock... knock knock...

Xia Yan immediately put down what he was doing, and Beedrill also stopped training immediately.

This is the faint heartbeat of the elf inside the egg, yet it sounds so clear in the quiet environment.

At the same time, they went to the incubator in the living room and saw that a rather large crack had appeared on the round elf egg. The loud noise just now was caused by the appearance of this crack.

After the fairy egg entered the incubation process, the incubator also very humanely opened the device's lock by itself.

With another crisp sound, the crack on the surface of the fairy egg widened again, and smaller, finer cracks began to appear next to the main crack.

Under the watchful eyes of Xia Yan and Beedrill, wisps of extremely pale blue light slowly flowed out from the cracks in the Pokémon egg, gradually enveloping it and causing it to float gently up from the table.

"Hiss?"

"Superpowers? They can already use superpowers before they even hatch from the egg?"

Xia Yan squinted, his expression neither pleasant nor unpleasant.

Judging from the current behavior of the Pokémon inside the egg, it seems to possess considerable psychic abilities, but this may not necessarily be a good thing for it.

Don't forget, its mother is Kadabra, a product of Team Rocket's research. Kadabra also has very strong psychic powers, but because it couldn't control such powerful psychic abilities, it lost control of its own psychic powers, becoming irritable and irrational.

This is not the state that an intelligent Psychic-type Pokémon should be in, nor is it the state that a trainer's Pokémon should be in.

Xia Yan wasn't sure if the soon-to-be-born elf would inherit its mother's uncontrollable superpowers.

The superpowers emanating from the egg continued to spread, not only enveloping the egg itself but also covering everything in the living room.

Gradually, some relatively lightweight items such as cups, bowls, and chopsticks also began to float up.

"It's still getting stronger; this level of superpower is beyond what a normal newborn Pokémon should have."

In addition to affecting itself, it has begun to affect surrounding objects.

And as the overflowing superpowers continue to increase, the floating objects are also getting bigger.

It started with cups, gradually progressed to vases, and then to chairs on the floor...

Click click click...

The cracking sound continued, and the cracks on the egg spread rapidly, threatening to form a circle.

"Hiss..."

Beedrill looked worried. The difficulty this Pokémon was experiencing in hatching reminded it of the hardship it felt when it evolved from Metapod into Beedrill.

We must keep pushing forward and not relax for even a moment, otherwise we may never have another chance to break free from these constraints.

click!

suddenly.

With the continuous efforts of the Pokémon inside, the cracks on the egg finally formed a circle. Although it hadn't fully hatched, this had created a noticeable weak point in the eggshell. As long as it continued to work hard, hatching seemed inevitable.

And through the gap, a tiny, peeking eye peered out at the unknown world.
