Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The paper immediately gained popularity upon publication.

Because Xia Yan's paper not only contains theoretical knowledge, but also a large amount of experimental data, pictures, and even a video recording of the entire process of Feebas evolving into Milotic.

This completely confirmed his previous speculation and slapped the faces of many who made sarcastic remarks.

This also brought Xia Yan a lot of attention once again.

Its popularity skyrocketed.

after all.

Who wouldn't want to have a Milotic, hailed as the "most beautiful Pokémon"?

And those who pay attention to him are no longer just people who like or follow Ibrahimovic.

A keen observer suddenly noticed.

"Mr. 'Dodo Bird' has never published any unverified papers to date, nor has he ever used them to attract attention!"

"It really is true!"

When doing research, proposing topics and directions requires bold hypotheses and guesses.

Some of these can be verified.

However, most of these claims cannot be verified.

Therefore, countless people come up with eye-catching topics to attract attention and generate buzz.

But Xia Yan has never published a single "fake" paper to date.

Even previous papers on the characteristics, moves, and training conditions of the four Eevee evolutions have been confirmed.

As a result, many people consciously added a word when referring to the "dodo bird," making it the "real dodo bird."

After the paper was published, Xia Yan stopped paying attention to it.

For him, the key is how much he can get from the alliance before the paper is published.

Once published, the research project is considered complete, and no substantial benefits can be obtained.

He was staring at two folders on his computer, lost in thought.

One is "beauty," and the other is... "fairy-like"!

What Xia Yan didn't know was...

After he closed the forum, Sakuragi commented on his paper and announced something.

"The identity of the 'Dodo' will be revealed in three days."

Revealing mysterious things is always the easiest way to stir people's hearts.

Sakuragi's comment went viral instantly.

Many people below speculated about what kind of person the "Dodo" would be.

An elderly man with white hair? A middle-aged man with a large build? Or a plump woman?

There's a wide variety of things to choose from.

Now, even if Xia Yan doesn't want to take off his disguise, he'll probably have to.

Sakuragi's move was a strategic one, designed to prevent Natsuhiko from having second thoughts.

Xia Yan has no regrets.

After all, with his current strength, status, and abilities, he is capable of bearing the impact that comes with this status.

He just suddenly thought of something.

The identity of the researcher, "Dodo," was revealed.

The key point is still this nickname.

Now that Rangdu knows, I wonder how he will treat me?

emmmm.....

It seems we need to put up a "no-war" sign first.

Chapter 112 I'll just let you know

The early start of this conferment ceremony was somewhat unexpected.

Fortunately, Xia Yan doesn't have anything important to do for the time being, so he can still participate.

Just as Sakuragi said, Kikuna found him soon after, expressing her apologies and hoping to do something for her teacher while she still had some time.

Xia Yan would certainly not refuse.

Yamato has been with Kikuna for almost a month now, and he has handed over most of the things that needed to be handed over. His abilities have also been recognized by Natsuhiko.

After obtaining Natsuhiko's consent, Kikuna left.

Xia Yan wasn't in a hurry.

He still had some things to take care of in three days.

They changed their appearance and arrived at the black market in Jiayuan City.

Speaking of which...

Xia Yan is currently the head of the Hunter Guild in Jiayuan City.

But in reality, he never managed anything; he left most of the work to Joanna.

When Xia Yan met Joanna, she was scolding several hunters who had failed to capture their prey due to their mistakes.

Those hunters didn't even dare to raise their heads in front of Joanna, this "notorious" female tyrannosaurus.

Xia Yan leaned against a pillar in the guild hall, not disturbing her, and just watched with a smile.

You know what?

Joanna is quite capable, both in capturing Pokémon and in managing the guild.

At least.

When Xia Yan last came, the guild hall was still a bit chaotic, with constant noise.

But this time...

The hunters who were accepting and handing over quests lined up obediently.

No one can bark randomly just because they have a high hunter level or are strong.

Joanna naturally noticed Xia Yan, who is now the "Hunter N" of the Hunter Guild and the actual controller of the Hunter Guild in Jiayuan City.

However, the registered hunters of the Hunter Guild in Jiayuan City do not recognize Xia Yan, this real "big shot".

After giving him a few more scoldings, he dismissed the few people who were behaving like quails and walked towards Xia Yan.

"It seems you're quite enjoying this feeling."

Looking at Joanna wearing special sunglasses, Xia Yan chuckled and teased her.

Joanna rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

"If you hadn't wanted to be a hands-off manager, I wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble."

Despite her annoyance, Joanna didn't reject the feeling of having power in her hands.

It seems... even if I don't get a seat, it's not bad to have this kind of power.

Xia Yan chuckled and tossed out a Poké Ball.

Joanna instinctively reached out and caught it.

"This is......"

Looking at the docile and obedient Dragon King Scorpion inside, he showed a puzzled expression.

"I just grabbed one, and I figured it would suit you better."

Which Dragon King Scorpion is this that's attacking the almost-doll?

Joanna also has a Dragon King Scorpion, but she didn't raise it herself, so its strength increases slowly. It's better to just get a new one.

Of her Pokémon, all but one Salamence are replaceable.

"A potential... Heavenly King?" Joanna asked tentatively.

After all, she already had a Gym Leader-level Dracovish, and Xia Yan knew that there was no need to give him another Gym Leader-level one.

Xia Yan shrugged, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Seeing his reaction, Joanna showed a complicated expression.

Back then, Xia Yan was weaker than her, but not long ago he became a member of the Hunter Guild and held a title. Now he has given away a near-Elite Four level Pokémon without batting an eye.

The speed of this change made it difficult for Joan to adapt for a while.

Seeing her complicated expression, Xia Yan couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder.

"Wait a little longer, and you'll be able to sit down soon."

This can be considered a transaction between them.

A past transaction.

Joanna has now been almost completely won over by Xia Yan.

However, if he wants to challenge for the top seat, he needs the support of those already seated, and Joanna is one of Xia Yan's choices.

"Um......"

Joanna responded softly, her expression somewhat dazed.

Adding to the near-Elite Four level Pokémon that Xia Yan gave her in the Alola region, she already had two near-Elite Four level Pokémon before Salamence had fully grown up.

With such strength, as long as she can bring out the full potential of these two spirits, she is already qualified to compete for a spot.

It is undoubtedly much faster than her working alone.

"Please help me deal with these Pokémon. There's no need to rush; just sell them off gradually."
