Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

Ultimately, what is the purpose of studying evolution? Isn't it all for profit?

Currently, it seems that Sylveon's evolution only requires friendship, a Fairy-type move, and absorbing enough Fairy-type energy.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, aside from its academic standing, Sylveon's evolutionary research won't bring it much economic benefit.

The evolution chain from Feebas to Milotic is different; the necessary item for evolution, the Beauty Cube, was something they developed themselves.

Would you choose a beautiful scale worth millions or a beautiful energy cube worth tens of thousands?

It cannot be ruled out that some trainers who prefer expensive over suitable options might choose the most expensive one.

However, most trainers who are not that wealthy will definitely choose the latter, which offers better value for money.

If I were even more unscrupulous, I could use a Pinduoduo-style trick to dilute the concentration of the Beauty Energy Cube.

Your Ugly Fish is just one box of exclusive energy cubes away from evolving!

One box of exclusive energy powder is still missing.

One more box of exclusive energy potion is needed.

Trainers of Feebas can renew their subscriptions indefinitely.

Wouldn't that make him the world's richest person?

At that time, the Zvoich family, the Silver Corporation, and the Rockets will all have to step aside.

Nobody knows how to make money better than me, Xia Chen!

……

"Buyi."

Ibu scratched at Xia Chen, who was lost in his daydreams in front of the computer, and sighed with concern.

Could it be that with the Pogaman Cup main tournament approaching, Xia Chen is under too much pressure and has suffered a mental breakdown?

"Ibrahimovic, do you think it's better for us to buy an island or a mountain when we retire?" Xia Chen suddenly asked.

Ibrahimovic: "."

It's over. Xia Chen is hopelessly immersed in the illusion created by Cresselia.

…………

Putting aside these unrealistic fantasies, Xia Chen began to seriously consider a question.

That is, how many more Energy Cubes does Feebas need to eat before it can evolve into Milotic?

Reality is not a game, and Xia Chen has no way of knowing what Ugly Fish's current beauty rating is.

How many energy blocks are needed to reach the critical threshold for sufficient evolution?

If we improve the quality of the energy cube, will it allow the pufferfish to evolve faster?

These are all things that need to be studied further through practice and observation.

Therefore, although the research on the Beautiful Energy Cube has made substantial breakthroughs, there is still a long way to go before reaching the final goal.

However, Xia Chen is increasingly looking forward to the Energy Cube seminar next month.

Perhaps, a breakthrough in research can be found there?

Chapter 54 The Heartbreaking Loss of the Online Nickname "Pigeon Master" (Bonus Chapter, Please Vote!)

Ancient Gate Arena is the largest Pokémon battle arena in Zhijiang City.

Its history dates back to thousands of years ago when elves were still called magical beasts, but its renovation once every hundred years ensures that it will never fall behind the times.

The current Ancient Gate Arena is like the Ship of Theseus. Although the components of the entire building have no connection to what they were when it was first built, in an abstract sense, this elf battle arena is one of the oldest, yet also the most advanced, battlegrounds in Zhijiang and even the Donghuang region.

In the golden autumn of October, the Ancient Gate Arena hosted a special Pokémon battle tournament – ​​the Piplup Cup.

Although it is an amateur-level competition, the Pogaman Cup is just as popular.

Whether Bogarman's technology is top-notch is debatable, but its marketing and promotion methods are definitely top-notch.

In the thirteen years since, Bogaman, with his red scarf, has become the flag bearer for amateur competitions in the Donghuang region.

Today marks the start of the 13th Bogaman Cup Zhijiang Station.

The ancient arena, which can hold 50,000 people, was packed to capacity.

On the Pilipili live streaming platform, the Pokémon Cup live stream was prominently featured on the homepage recommendation page.

With no top-tier tournaments or even heavyweight competitions between regions recently, many viewers had already tuned in to the highly advertised Baby Cup.

Isn't this much more interesting than those boring elite-level matches?

At 10:20 a.m., the first round of the Pogaman Cup main tournament, the round of 32, had been going on for a while.

At this moment, the Bogaman Cup live stream room is bustling with activity, and the screen is filled with comments.

…………

"To be honest, this competition was really good. It's one of the few competitions that gives me enough confidence to give my opinion."

"Indeed, although it's a dish, it's a dish made with utmost seriousness. It has a kind of beauty that comes from a lack of brainstem."

"Keyboard warriors are at it again. Do you sixteen-year-olds even have the chance to stand on this battlefield?"

"Thanks for the invitation. At sixteen, I had already played against the world champion, Adek, in the World Championship."

"Hehe, once the comments start, ten thousand Tauros fly in the sky. Just look at that Nidoqueen. I wonder how many comment masters could have bred it at the age of sixteen."

"You think you can brag about Nidorina? With her physical attributes and moves, it's obvious at a glance that she was crammed into Nidorina and then evolved into Nidorina using a Moon Stone. The trainer is just a short-sighted guy."

"Quiet down, quiet down, the next game is starting!"

"Wow, this guy is so handsome!"

"That's true, he's almost as good as me, Daigo Yoshie."

"I, Heijo Qibana, refuse to accept this!"

"Tsk tsk, the Pokémon is an adorable Eevee, it's probably a zero in the game."

"You know what, getting Ibrahimovic into the Bogaman Cup main tournament with just one player, they might actually have something going for them."

"Hmm? Isn't this Master Pigeon? Haha, so Master Pigeon's name is Xia Chen?"

Who is Master Pigeon?

"Holy crap, there are other diners here? And it really is Chef Pigeon! I'll go tell them in the fan group!"

"What? Master Pigeon has a fan group? Why has he never mentioned it in his videos?"

"Uh, who said that Pigeon Master's fan group has to include Pigeon Master himself?"

"."

…………

Xia Chen was unaware that he had lost his online name. At that moment, he was taking deep breaths on the sidelines to calm his nerves.

It's impossible not to be nervous when you're fighting on such a big stage for the first time in front of so many people.

Including his previous life, the biggest scene he had ever experienced was being confessed to in front of the whole school during the flag-raising ceremony.

Standing in front of 50,000 people from the Battle Park was truly a bit daunting.

But he knew that the person who was even more nervous than him at this moment was the more inexperienced Eevee, and he had to set a good example for Eevee.

Xia Chen looked down at Eevee, who seemed stunned, and comforted him, "Eevee, don't be nervous. Just pretend that everyone around you is a cabbage!"

Ibu glanced up at Xia Chen, whose knuckles were almost bruised from clenching his fists, and gave a wry smile.

Are you saying that to yourself?

Ibrahimovic stretched, his eyes gradually sharpening.

Alright, let me, Eevee, carry you, little rookie, through the skies!

------

At the first whistle, both teams introduced themselves.

"I am Xia Chen from Gucheng Middle School. Please give me your guidance!"

Xia Chen's face flushed. Oh no, he was so nervous that he blurted something out.

There were 50,000 people at the scene, and who knows how many more were watching on live streaming platforms. Hopefully, nobody noticed.

Xia Chen remained expressionless, as if nothing had happened.

As long as I am not embarrassed, others are embarrassed!

"Hou Wen from Zhijiang No. 3 Middle School, please give me your guidance!"

The opponent was clearly highly focused and didn't notice anything amiss.

But bullet comments are different. No matter how small the detail is, as long as one person notices it, everyone will know it through bullet comments.

"Haha, everyone, my name is Not Nervous. I've recorded the screen and I'm helping Master Pigeon become a hit in the parody video section!"

"After making a slip of the tongue, you quickly correct yourself and then pretend to have a blank expression as if nothing happened. Isn't that just a classic case of protesting too much?"

"You've already pulled off a major feat before even starting the fight. You're truly something else, Master Pigeon!"

"So, brothers, who are you guys rooting for in this match? Is that Pigeon Master you guys were talking about a hidden pro player?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Pigeon Master is a content creator with 400,000 followers. It's a piece of cake for him to compete in this kind of small competition. Don't say anymore, I've already gone all in on Pigeon Master to win!"

"Master Pigeon is a food-related content creator. He once said that he became a content creator because he couldn't be a trainer. Don't be fooled by Zuowangdao!"

"Ibu is so cute, if you punch him, he'll cry for a long time, right?"

"Buy the pigeons the wrong way, and you'll get a villa by the sea."

……

The live stream was filled with laughter and joy, while the battlefield was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

The referee blew the second whistle, and the match officially began!

"Gem Starfish, prepare for battle!"
