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

But he himself had been thoroughly fooled by an Eevee!

He recalled Eevee's slightly open mouth just now, and became even more furious. How could Eevee be more cunning than a human!

……

(An extra chapter tonight, I'm justifiably asking you to keep reading. Of course, votes would be even better, hehehe)

Chapter 61 Master Yi, hurry up and take off your disguise!

Scyther was affected by Sand Spray, while Eevee was boosted by its self-motivation.

As the tide receded, although neither Pokémon suffered any real damage, Eevee, which had no trainer to command, surprisingly gained the upper hand in the early stages.

This was something that even the neutral spectators watching the spectacle, and even Xia Chen and Ibu's fans, never expected.

Instantly, the screen was filled with comments like "I can't accept this."

Regardless of whether the audience accepts it or not, the battles are ultimately fought by the Pokémon.

On the field, Ibrahimovic, who had just motivated himself, unleashed another high-speed Star attack before Scyther could fully recover from the effects of Sand Shot.

"Scyther, move at high speed!"

The Scyther's trainer was already throwing a tantrum. The purpose of its high-speed movement wasn't defense, since no matter how fast it ran, it couldn't escape the homing effect of the Swift.

His real purpose is to attack!

Isn't your Eevee so fast that it can dodge my Scyther's Quick Attack?

Okay, I'll speed up again, and you try dodging me again!

"Hiss!"

The shimmering white, star-shaped energy blast hit its target precisely. Even with its hard shell protecting it, the Scyther let out a painful screech, but its unwavering will allowed it to endure the pain.

The flying mantis flapped its two small, thin wings at a high frequency, producing a sharp, piercing chirp.

Then, it moved again, and its speed increased even more under the drive of the energy within its body.

At this moment, although the effects of the sandstorm still lingered, seeing Ibrahimovic's location was no problem at all.

"A flash of lightning!"

To give Eevee no time to react, the Scyther trainer uttered those four words at lightning speed.

He sneered inwardly. With a flash of lightning at high speed, he thought, "Let's see how you dodge now!"

…………

"Hiss!"

After a sharp hiss, green lightning streaked across the sky.

If the initial flash of lightning allowed viewers to clearly see the Flying Mantis operation...

The second flash of lightning was the true "flash".

From a distant, overhead view, viewers could only see a blurry green figure hurtling towards Eevee on the ground.

With a flash of lightning while moving at high speed, Scyther's speed was almost twice as fast as before!

Not to mention the audience's naked eye, even the event organizers had to zoom out to present this amazing scene.

But even with such a lightning-fast attack that was beyond the level of a baby cup, Eevee still managed to dodge it!

The audience stared in disbelief at the brown figure that tumbled and rolled awkwardly past the flying mantis.

What kind of battle is this? It's like the devil is one step ahead of the saint!

The two elves were like the same pole of two magnets, physically unable to get close.

No matter how ridiculously fast Scyther is, Eevee can always dodge it.

At this moment, all pre-match thoughts unrelated to the game itself are superfluous. The audience put aside their arguments and calmly immersed themselves in the exciting match.

After a daring roll to avoid a flash of lightning, Ibrahimovic turned around and yawned.

Having just failed to overtake Eevee at top speed, the Scyther, now stuck on the ground, had no chance to escape.

Even after playing defensively for the entire game, I could only fall asleep obediently due to intense drowsiness.

Eevee showed no mercy, landing another high-speed stun on Scyther's vulnerable head, leaving Scyther lying dead in its sleep, filled with resentment.

Thus, this highly anticipated match ended with Ibrahimovic's victory.

…………

"Master Yi, my Superman!"

"Master Pigeon: Did my presence affect your damage output?"

"For a complete bystander, this match was an insane solo show by Ibrahimovic. Anticipation, counter-anticipation, incredible positioning, and precise control of his moves—this Ibrahimovic was simply unstoppable!"

"Master Yi, hurry up and take off your skin. You're actually Arceus, aren't you?"

"I am an elite trainer, and I'm honest. I probably wouldn't be as good as Ibrahimovic playing on his own if I were to take charge."

"Coincidentally, I think so too."

"I am Leon, and I admit that my Charizard can't beat this Eevee."

"."

The pre-match controversy almost vanished after a resounding victory, leaving only enthusiastic praise for Ibrahimovic in the live chat.

In the office area on the second floor of the Ancient Gate Arena, Li Wan, sitting behind her computer and staring at the match data, couldn't stop smiling.

During the twenty-odd minutes before and after Ibrahimovic's match, the peak number of online viewers almost doubled compared to the beginning!

This incredibly profitable investment of mine was a gamble that paid off!

Meanwhile, Changqing City in the Guandu region is located more than a thousand miles away from the river.

Now, following the opening ceremony, the Energy Cube Seminar has begun with lively sharing and discussion.

…………

Inside the hotel lobby, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, with his hair slicked back, stood on a stage and spoke eloquently.

As with other academic exchange seminars, presentations by industry leaders are always an indispensable part.

However, not everyone buys into the opinions of these so-called experts and scholars.

"Tsk, it's all the same old stuff."

Beside Xia Chen, Xiao Gang shook his head slightly and muttered to himself.

Since it was Xia Chen's first time attending such an academic conference, although he felt that what was being presented was somewhat general, he did not have the same strong opinions as Xiao Gang.

Feeling that he couldn't learn anything from this academic lecture, Xia Chen simply started chatting with Xiao Gang.

"Senior Xiaogang, what did you mean by that just now?"

Brock sighed and replied, "In recent years, the signs of stagnation in the Pokémon breeding world have become increasingly apparent. Firstly, no new theories have been proposed, and secondly, there has been no progress in terms of machines and techniques. That's why Professor Oak said that to you before, and my invitation to participate has a similar purpose: to bring some vitality to this stagnant pool."

"Listen to this, it's the same old stuff over and over again: the effects of tree fruits, the recipe for energy cubes, the crafting techniques, and the ancient sickle helmet. I'm sick of hearing about it."

Xia Chen comforted him, "There's no way around it. It's not realistic to keep developing at such a high speed all the time. Perhaps there are other ways to classify energy cubes besides attributes and flavors?"

Xia Chen was naturally implying the criteria for the Grand Contest: handsome, cute, smart, strong, and, as well as, the beauty he had been researching.

Xiao Gang shook his head slightly. "Someone has proposed your idea before, but as food for elves and an important source of energy, the energy cube has a relatively simple function. After that person's research failed, no one went down this path anymore."

Xia Chen smiled slightly and posed a hypothetical question, "What if the purpose of the energy cube wasn't just to replenish the elves' energy, but to enhance other aspects of their lives?"

Chapter 62 Thank you, Ibrahimovic! (Bonus chapter, please read on!)

Xia Chen never had the idea of ​​conducting research behind closed doors.

For a greenhorn like himself, who had no say in academia, proposing a new theory for classifying energy cubes was nothing short of a pipe dream.

The most important thing is that no one is listening to you.

Therefore, seeking cooperation with a reliable senior figure who has a certain standing in the industry is a more prudent approach.

For him, the most important thing right now is to evolve Feebas into Milotic as soon as possible to prove his theory.

The theoretical proposal and practical application of the new classification of Power Blocks are things that can be studied together with Brock and Professor Oak.

As for his recent fantasy of becoming the world's richest man by using the Beauty Energy Cube, Xia Chen knew after clearing his mind that it was a pipe dream.

Please, there's only one type of energy cube. A master craftsman could probably tell which tree fruits it was made from just by tasting it.

To want a monopoly is to treat the world's capitalists like fools.

Regardless, the one who first invented this energy cube and registered the patent in Donghuang is definitely the one who will reap the greatest benefits.

Someone wants to copy the formula for profit? Sure, they'll have to pay Xia Chen protection money first.

This is enough for Xia Chen. Without a powerful backer, trying to monopolize this cake will only lead to his own demise.

Why not be a pioneer and work together to make the pie bigger? That would be enough for Xia Chen to gain both fame and fortune.

Xia Chen has never focused on academic research in the future; for him, it was merely a stepping stone to a carefree, leisurely life.

If I were to bury myself in my own research, I might not be able to enjoy the retirement life I desire even when I'm in my seventies or eighties.

Therefore, this academic seminar may be the opportune moment to propose this new type of energy cube.

…………

On the first day of the seminar, Xia Chen did nothing but listen to the speakers.

I'm still just a nobody with no say, and I can't find any good opportunities to speak up.

Furthermore, the relevant information was stored on his computer and he did not bring it with him.

That's easy to solve. I'll just have Mingyi come to my house tonight to help transfer it over.

Xia Chen wasn't worried about Mingyi seeing anything she shouldn't; his computer was clean, unlike some of the things depicted in jokes.

Next, I will retrieve my client's computer history as proof of his alibi.

Judge, I plead guilty!
