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

On the other end of the video call, Professor Oak, who was sunbathing in the backyard, was shocked upon hearing Xia Chen's news.

He had a good impression of Xia Chen, a junior in the breeding industry, who not only put forward theories but also had ideas to verify them through his own practice.

But he's only been back from Guandu for a few days, not even a month.

This provides the most perfect example to prove his theory.

It's a bit like science fiction, isn't it?

Professor Oak pondered for a moment before making his decision.

"Okay, Xiaogang and I will come to Donghuang tomorrow!"

The call abruptly ended, leaving Xia Chen completely bewildered.

Professor Oak is really decisive; he can travel across regions without hesitation, which is probably due to his love for Pokémon research.

If it were like the people in the venue that day, their first reaction upon hearing the news would probably be skepticism, right?

But before Professor Oak arrived, he still had some things to take care of, such as asking for leave.

……

To be honest, the school is offering Xia Chen less and less help these days.

The senior year of high school is mainly about practicing Pokémon battles, and within the school, there are very few Pokémon that can beat Eevee.

Milotic has only recently evolved and its strength is still unclear, but judging from the power of its Sky Water Cannon, it is definitely not weak.

That's what he thought, and he told the principal that directly.

At first, the principal didn't react. After seriously discussing the importance of self-study with Xia Chen for a while, he suddenly roared, "You just said that your Feebas evolved into Milotic?!"

Xia Chen was startled by the sudden increase in volume and complained, "Didn't I tell you from the beginning? Why are you yelling so loudly?"

"But...where did you get those beautiful scales?"

He had just discussed this with Xia Chen a few days ago; those were beautiful scales worth nearly ten million!

A sixteen-year-old boy whose parents both disappeared and who had left behind nothing actually pulled out the money casually.

"Well, let me keep you in suspense for now. This is also the reason why I asked for leave this time. If I'm not mistaken, you'll see me on the news in a while."

Xia Chen's reply made him even more curious; he had seen him in the news.

What? You took out a loan to buy a beautiful scale, and then you rob a bank to pay it back?

With his limited imagination, this was the most likely scenario he would see Xia Chen in the news.

Although this conjecture is also an outrageous mother opening the door for outrageous things—outrageous to the extreme.

After thinking it over and over, the principal still couldn't figure it out. Just as he was about to ask Xia Chen for a hint, he found that the other end of the phone had already hung up, so he had no choice but to give up in disappointment.

…………

On the other end of the line, Xia Chen hung up the phone and started editing the video of Milotic's evolution.

After returning from that battle royale event, Xia Chen installed several cameras near the Ugly Fish's aquarium.

During that time, he had a particularly strong intuition that the ugly fish was about to evolve.

I'm afraid I'll miss the evolution of the ugly fish if I'm not there or if I'm sleeping.

24/7 monitoring can solve this problem very well.

Another reason is that the full-process monitoring can serve as the most direct evidence that Feebas evolved into Milotic without relying on its beautiful scales.

Of course, besides being research material, this video is also used as video material on Pixiv.

The evolution of Feebas into Milotic is such a shocking topic that it would be a shame not to make a few videos about it.

After several months as a content creator, Xia Chen has become quite skilled in editing techniques.

In less than two hours, a video of about ten minutes was successfully edited, and a release time of 7 p.m. was set.

Today is Saturday, the busiest time of day.

Xia Chen was confident that this would be another viral hit with tens of millions of views, following his video about incubating Ralts.

This is not just a simple video of Pokémon evolution; it is a clarion call for ushering in a new era for the Pokémon world.

However, whether it's a new era or not is another matter.

Looking at the Milotic curled up pitifully in the aquarium, Xia Chen stroked his chin. This place seemed a bit too small.

Thirty-odd cubic meters sounds like a lot, but actually, a 4x4x2 aquarium isn't that big.

This is at least true for Milotic, which can stretch to five meters.

Furthermore, Pokémon don't stop growing after completing their final evolution. No matter how you look at it, finding a new home for Milotic is an urgent matter.

Although there are still empty rooms in the house, and Milotic can survive without water, it is still an aquatic creature, so it is best to let Milotic live in the water.

Xia Chen really wanted to buy an estate with an artificial lake or something, or even a villa or mansion with a swimming pool, but his financial situation simply didn't allow it.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to clear out a room on the second floor and customize a larger aquarium.

While this size is still not enough for Milotic to travel, at least it can get a good night's sleep comfortably.

When I have more money in the future, I'll just buy a big house with its own artificial lake and settle on the spot!

…………

7 PM, a pigeon coop.

Weekend nights are always exciting. In a Pogaman chat group with nearly a thousand active members, the message history can reach 99+ if you don't check it for just three minutes.

As Xia Chen's fan group, it's a place where all sorts of people chat about the recent popular Pokémon battles, recreate the dishes Xia Chen made in his videos, and post lewd pictures.

However, all of this information turned into a sea of ​​question marks again after the person with the title "[Messenger Bird]" sent a link to "[Jealous Lips is My Wife]".

The image in the link is beautifully composed. Against a backdrop of a deep blue aquarium, Xia Chen gently touches Milotic's head, which is leaning closer to him, in a harmonious and natural way.

They knew that Xia Chen had a Feebas, after all, the Feebas had appeared in several videos and even contributed the famous scene of backstabbing each other with Eevee.

You could even say they grew up in the eyes of these viewers.

But today, Xia Chen actually said that his Ugly Fish has evolved?!

Although it's not unacceptable, it just feels a bit sudden, and something feels off.

With these mixed feelings, they couldn't wait to click on the video.

Feebas's evolution video isn't long, less than ten minutes, much shorter than Ralts's hatching video.

The main focus is on the comparison between Feebas and Milotic before and after evolution, and to let the audience appreciate Milotic's stunning beauty.

The video doesn't have many fancy elements at the beginning; it gets straight to the point.

In the deep blue aquarium, the body of the pufferfish faintly emits white light spots, a sight familiar to any trainer who has spent some time training fish.

A sign of impending evolution!

However, this evolution always feels a bit strange.

Just as the audience was starting to have some doubts, a comment appeared that revealed what they found strange.

"Strange, why don't I see the Beautiful Scale, the evolution item for Feebas?"

Chapter 89 Sanjiang Speech

It's mainly about expressing gratitude. Getting published on Sanjiang (a popular Chinese literature platform) has far exceeded my expectations before the book's release. First and foremost, I want to thank all the readers who have given tips, voted, and followed my reading!

Without everyone's support, this book certainly wouldn't have made it this far.

Especially the friends who followed my old books and helped me get into the first round of recommendations very early on.

I will definitely finish writing "Washing Green"! But it will definitely be after this book has a stable update schedule.

Then, I would like to thank the editor, Canaan, who has been a tremendous help to this book. From before we started writing until now, we have been discussing the plot on and off for several hours.

Canaan even helped me with the first seventy chapters of the story and made many changes to improve the reading experience. Waaah, how can there be such a good editor!

Sometimes I even bother him during his rest time, forcing him to work overtime. I'm really grateful!

And then there are the many authors who helped with this book, thank you all for your chapter recommendations!

I just saw a comment from a reader asking if they had any recommendations for Elf books.

The following are all excellent works of elf fiction, beast taming fiction, or other genres. Feel free to check them out if you're interested.

The order of the lists is not ranked; I just wrote down whatever came to mind, so please don't blame me if I missed anything o(^｀)

…………

Finally, here are some updates after the product is released.

The current plan is to start with a minimum of 6,000 chapters, and then release 10,000 chapters per day for the first five days after the release. Any unpaid donations or promised extra chapters will not be included in the first five days' release, but will be made up later!

The rules for extra chapters will mainly be based on tips and monthly tickets. One chapter will be awarded for every 15000 points/200 monthly tickets. If there is a patron, seven chapters will be added. Silver patrons and gold patrons are out of the question.

That's about it. I'll add the group number at the end.
