Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

He knew that such behavior was very impolite, but he had no choice; they had been given a strict order from above and had to obey.

It is said that the power plant in Saffron City has been attacked by wild Pokémon several times. It was after the last incident at the power plant that Saffron City strengthened its security around the plant; otherwise, it would have been much harder to deal with the attacks.

Who knows when the next attack might target the city of Golden City?

"Of course, we won't check your Pokémon's specific details; we'll just be looking into whether you've been catching too many Pokémon."

Xia Yan took a silent breath.

Fortunately, he didn't capture many Pokémon during his trip because of the frequent attacks from wild Pokémon.

The League's arrangement likely stems from suspicion that a large hunting party has appeared near Goldenrod City, thus inciting unrest among wild Pokémon.

He presented his League certificate and a total of six Poké Balls.

Sure enough, after glancing briefly at Xia Yan's League identification and the seven Poké Balls in his hand, Kochi didn't ask any further questions.

After nodding and apologizing again, he stepped aside.

Xia Yan didn't say anything, tightened his backpack, and strode towards Golden City.

Keqi watched Xia Yan's departing figure, a hint of doubt in his eyes. "Xia Yan? Why does that name sound so familiar... Never mind, the current matter is the most important."

Back in Golden City.

Xia Yan didn't go back immediately, but instead made a detour to the slums.

After the Zapdos incident, the already dilapidated slum became even more run-down, with traces of lightning strikes and collapsed houses everywhere.

"I wonder if Sanfu and the others survived the Zapdos's attack."

Since the Zapdos incident, Xia Yan has clearly realized the importance of intelligence, and among the intelligence provided by Sanfu, there is a lot of key information related to the Tom Ruoqi Project.

He had been away for a month, but he didn't want to waste this already limited source of intelligence.

After leaving a message at the places where they met several times, Xia Yan didn't linger.

On the way back, sitting in the taxi, Xia Yan had some thoughts about what happened with the forest ranger.

"I've seen some conspiracy theories before, saying that the League tampers with trainers' Poké Balls. I wonder if it's true..."

The taxi stopped in front of the old villa.

As soon as she entered the room, the sleeping Cassie jolted awake and popped out from under her collar.

Its reaction gave Xia Yan a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

Knock knock—

There was a knock on the door.

Upon opening the door, a Gastly appeared in the doorway, stuck out its tongue at Xia Yan, winked at Casey, left a letter, and quickly disappeared underground.

He picked up the envelope expressionlessly and closed the door.

He had just returned when Old Bill's Gastly came knocking on his door.

"It seems that this intelligence dealer is far more capable than I imagined..."

The contents of the envelope were simple: there would be a gathering at the usual place after 8 p.m.

Chapter Nineteen: Initial Success of the Thesis

We arrived at the courtyard.

I threw out a Poké Ball and released all the Pokémon.

Besides Beedrill, there are also Pidgeotto and Ditto.

It has to be said that Xia Yan is quite good with Pokémon. Even Pidgeotto and Ditto, which he bought as tools, have changed from their previous dull appearance after nearly a week of contact and have become more lively.

Although they were called tools, Xia Yan did not treat them as mere tools. He always provided them with all kinds of food, sought their opinions before doing anything, and promised them that he would give them their freedom after they completed their tasks.

What Pidgey and Ditto felt from Xia Yan was respect.

Even if Xia Yan doesn't respect them, they will still complete their tasks like tools. But it is precisely because of this respect that they work more diligently, and the rebellious mentality hidden in their hearts disappears.

Having just returned from the wild, Xia Yan wasn't in a hurry to train them, giving them time to play instead.

Casey, who usually sleeps for long periods every day, suddenly perked up and joined in the play, even though she seemed uninterested in it, she was still very enthusiastic.

It's like how younger children often prefer to play with older children and are disliked, while at the same time disliking children even younger than themselves.

It looks like it's still in its growth stage, but it's already able to use its superpowers quite skillfully.

Hovering in the air, chasing after Beedrill, its "hissing" laughter could be heard incessantly.

Sitting beside the Pokémon playing, Xia Yan couldn't help but smile.

A sense of peace and tranquility rose from the bottom of my heart.

"Perhaps when I'm old, watching the elves play so carefree every day will be a wonderful feeling," he thought to himself.

But not yet.

He silently looked away and turned on his computer.

Visit the league's official website.

"I wonder if anyone has noticed the paper I wrote in just one week."

Writing and publishing papers on Pokémon knowledge can earn you money; this is a policy supported by the League.

If one can obtain researcher status, not only can one earn money from publishing papers, but one can also receive financial support from the alliance.

Don't spout nonsense like "money isn't important" or "publishing papers is just to promote knowledge." Without funding, even if you wanted to research elves, you wouldn't have the resources or ability.

For some researchers, the money required to study Pokémon far exceeds that required to raise them.

With a foundation of various precision instruments and all sorts of magical creatures, both common and rare, we can better develop our research.

Xia Yan also had this mindset of earning some extra money by writing papers, so he tried writing a paper about Ibrahimovic.

If the content of the paper is approved by the website's professional reviewers, you can receive at least 3 Alliance Coins in royalties.

just.

When he entered the researcher interface, he was dumbfounded.

Aside from a few important papers that consistently topped the list, he was surprised to find the somewhat incongruous name "Dodo" among a large group of big names with various titles.

The number of replies and comments has exceeded 10,000, and the number of views has exceeded 100,000.

"I anticipated that it would be discovered and taken seriously, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

Out of curiosity, Xia Yan clicked on his own thesis post.

then.

I saw the first comment, which was also the most popular.

"Sakuragi? A researcher?"

Xia Yan felt the name was somewhat familiar, but couldn't quite place where he had heard it before.

"Ok?"

After clicking on Sakuragi Researcher's profile, Xia Yan finally remembered.

"The Eevee Evolution Lab? So this Sakuragi researcher is the future Dr. Sakuragi?"

Thinking of him, Xia Yan roughly understood why his thesis post had become so popular.

There are many people who frequent these researcher websites, including not only researchers but also many trainers from all over the world who are eager to learn and try new things.

This also includes those who are looking to find a bargain.

However, as a well-known researcher and soon to become a doctor, Sakuragi's activities naturally attract a lot of attention.

If even he is so certain about the feasibility of Xia Yan's thesis, one can imagine that the comments below will be just as strong.

Xia Yan typed on the keyboard.

My contact information is...

"Why do I feel like I'm considering online dating?"

Shaking his head with a self-deprecating laugh, he deleted and rewrote.

"Thank you for your recognition. I also hope to have an in-depth discussion with Researcher Sakuragi."

This makes them seem relatively reserved.

After browsing through some of the comments below, Xia Yan smiled and closed the page.

Most of them are compliments that make people feel exceptionally happy.

such as:

"We have witnessed the rise of a new star in the research community."

“I’ve followed him, and I’m certain he won’t just publish one paper.”

My contact information is...

Even Xia Yan couldn't stand watching it too much; he blushed more and more as the story progressed, and his expressions became increasingly exaggerated.

Sakuragi has a significant influence in the research community.

"It seems like the 3 yuan manuscript fee is a sure thing. Although it's not much, it's not a small amount either. After it gains some traction and I become a little famous, I can try publishing other papers. This is a sustainable source of income."

I closed the website and opened the file about Beedrill and Casey breeding.

We began to consider the next steps in the breeding plan for Beedrill, as well as the breeding direction for Casey, who was about to finish her growth period.

The direction of Beedrill's training has been largely determined; the next step will likely be to train it to combine speed and attack.

After all, as a certain crooked-mouthed man once said, speed is power, and that applies to many worlds.

The main factor was Casey; his initial development of it was very important.

As each word was typed, darkness fell quickly.
