Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

This is a sign of the rise of the research community in the world of Pokémon.

Recently, young scientific research talents have been emerging like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Professor Oak was very pleased.

"You still haven't answered me: do you want to pursue a PhD?"

Xia Yan opened his mouth.

Do you want to pursue a PhD?

How can someone who was just an ordinary person with a bachelor's degree in his previous life now be a PhD?

But if given the opportunity, who wouldn't want it?

Nodding solemnly, he said, "Yes!"

Chapter 173 One Man Against the Heat of the Tournament

"A new attribute?!"

"Although Mr. Xia Yan has proven his conjectures to be correct many times, isn't this time... a bit exaggerated?"

"It's a bit of an exaggeration, but I still want to side with Mr. Xia Yan. What if it's true?"

"That's outrageous, I dare not stand here."

"Indeed, the previous conjectures and this conjecture are on completely different levels, okay?"

"..."

With the publication of Xia Yan's paper, "A Conjecture and Partial Analysis of the Eighteenth Attribute," the forum on the Alliance's official website completely exploded.

More and more people are joining the discussion.

Many of Xia Yan's original supporters inevitably developed doubts.

Not to mention those who were already envious and jealous of Xia Yan's current achievements.

However, Xia Yan hadn't made many mistakes in his research before, so even though these people were envious, they could only keep it to themselves and dared not say anything.

But as soon as this paper was published, these people immediately became restless.

"Hilarious! Is this some kind of attention-grabbing paper with such an exaggerated style?"

"I am a fan of Mr. Xia Yan, but this time Mr. Xia Yan's behavior is really no different from that of some clowns."

"The genius researcher eventually became an ordinary person and fell into the cliché."

"How could an eighteenth attribute have only been discovered now? Did he discover it while other doctors haven't for so many years?"

"Anyway, I think it's fake, and I'm waiting to be proven wrong."

"..."

Despite the fact that Xia Yan had a large number of fans and supporters wherever he went, and that people would often claim to be his fans, he was still a remarkable person.

But when it really came down to it, quite a few haters jumped out.

As the saying goes, for every person who likes you, there is just as many who dislike you.

And now, they've all jumped out.

Actually, we can't entirely blame them.

After all, Xia Yan's conjecture this time was indeed somewhat exaggerated.

Before the League was established, the conclusion of seventeen attributes had already become an almost universally accepted fact in the Pokémon world.

So many doctors and researchers have come up, but none of them have done anything to improve the attributes of Pokémon.

Even if there are any, they mostly relate to the interpretation of attributes.

The only thing no one has ever questioned is the number of attributes.

But now, the emergence of Xia Yan's thesis has shaken this "fact".

This was something many people found hard to accept at the time.

Even.

Professor Oak, Professor Sakuragi, Professor Yamanashi, and others all gave positive comments on the proposal of this "hypothesis".

However, it is impossible to change the minds of most people before this matter is completely settled.

In a short time.

The league is currently dealing with two of the most exciting and talked-about issues.

One is the "Islands Tournament" currently being held in the Alola region, which has attracted the attention of trainers and residents from all seven regions of the Pokémon world.

Another item.

This refers to Xia Yan's proposed new attribute hypothesis.

His identity, his previous achievements, and the attention he has garnered have fueled the continued rise in popularity of this paper, making it seem poised to rival the popularity of the "Islands Competition."

He single-handedly defied the hype surrounding the entire "Island Tournament"!

Some TV programs that genuinely crave attention immediately grab the spotlight once the paper is published.

And indicated.

In fact, Xia Yan has already succeeded. The popularity he has generated is immeasurable. Even if the final proof fails, who wouldn't know Xia Yan?

This viewpoint has garnered considerable support.

What about our client, Xia Yan?

After publishing the paper, he went straight to bed and fell into a deep sleep.

They paid no attention to the impact of the paper.

All these negative comments are based on the premise that the new attributes do not exist.

But now.

Togekiss is a Fairy-type, Vulpix is ​​a Fairy-type, and even the four island gods of the Alola region are Fairy-type. What's there to argue about?

At most, it's just that the fairy-type energy isn't abundant enough, and the fairy-type spirits haven't awakened yet, making people think he's talking nonsense.

However, the fairy-type energy has already begun to become abundant, and the appearance and birth of the fairy-type is not far away, which is an established fact.

Time will tell.

Moreover, even if most of the Pokémon are not suitable, the Pokémon that Xia Yan raises in the Fairy Ranch of Suiyi Town are also one of the proofs.

What's more, he also has a "Fairy Z" in his possession.

Instead of wasting time talking, it's better to spend more time on the elves.

Dr. Oki revealed.

The rewards for the top few in this "Island Tournament" seem to be more than just the material rewards that Daigo and the others mentioned; there are also some non-material rewards that have a greater impact.

Although Professor Oak did not reveal what it was.

But Xia Yan believed that he was not just saying it casually.

And on this night...

Xia Yan's phone received countless missed calls and messages, almost crashing it completely.

Simultaneously.

Many individuals, institutions, and organizations held meetings overnight because of his paper.

among them.

This also includes alliances.

Those TV stations are right.

This time, Xia Yan really gained a lot of attention.

of course.

This operation was actually done by Professor Oak at Natsuhiko's request.

Does Dr. Oak understand operations?

Of course he wouldn't understand.

But just because he doesn't know it doesn't mean he hasn't seen it.

He knows very well how his students, Kūki and more recently Sakuragi, became professors.

The key is to produce results that are impressive and have a significant impact; public opinion can at best be considered a helpful tool.

Publishing the hypothesis paper in advance served two purposes: firstly, it allowed him to apply to the alliance on Xia Yan's behalf, and secondly, it gave everyone time to adjust, preventing the situation from being too abrupt.

The only thing limiting Xia Yan now is his age.

...

...

The next day.

"What are you all doing? Didn't you all sleep well?"

On the breakfast table.

Xia Yan looked at his listless companions with some surprise.

Du glared at him, annoyed.

How dare you say that?

Xia Yan looked at him with slight surprise, "What does this have to do with me?"

"It's all because of your thesis!" Watari said, biting into his bread.

No.

Cynthia, Goku, and Lorelei were reading papers. Xia Yan knew about it, but did Wataru also read them?
