I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

The Growlithe dogs around him roared and charged toward the man in black with their super speed.

"Nidoran, crush me like Mount Tai!"

One of the men in black threw a Poké Ball, and a purple figure descended from the sky, hurtling towards the Arcanines.

"Boss, I'll hold them off, you guys get out of here!"

The man in black shouted behind him.

The other four continued running towards the exit without pausing for a moment.

"Boom! Boom!"

Loud explosions came from behind. Nidoking used his body to block the soldiers' pursuit, and a fierce battle immediately broke out.

"stop!"

"Boss, you guys go first!"

"Get 'em!"

"Boss..."

The reinforcements arrived very quickly; within just a few hundred meters of the exit, three waves of guards had already caught up.

The men in black sent three of them to block the pursuers. They were all large elves, clearly having anticipated this situation and preparing to use their bodies to forcefully hold off the pursuers.

The remaining two finally escaped the base, but the exit was already surrounded by a dense swarm of soldiers and elves, completely blocking the exit.

The two men in black exchanged a glance, both seeing the despair in each other's eyes.

Why is the security at this base so tight?

The leader's hands, tucked into his pockets, trembled rapidly. Paper documents were clearly impossible to take out, but photos...

···

Imperial University

Ye Feng was completely unaware of what was happening at the Urlan base and was soundly asleep in his bed.

A strange smile played on his lips; he was clearly having a sweet dream.

"Xiaoxian, this won't work... Hehe, try this..."

On the bedside table, Gardevoir's Poké Ball trembled slightly, then a small wisp of psychic energy emanated and enveloped the Poké Ball.

Noisy!

···

Deep underground, in a room with dim lighting, several mysterious figures gathered around a table.

“The operation failed.” One of them spoke fluent English, but his voice sounded extremely low.

There was a laptop on the table, with photos of five people on the screen, and the word "LOST" was displayed in bright red next to the photos.

"I didn't expect the base to be so heavily guarded," another person said.

"However, it wasn't entirely without any gains."

A photo popped up on the computer screen.

"The opponent intercepted too quickly; there was only enough time to play one card..."

After seeing the photos, everyone stared in shock, their pupils widening: "China has actually researched this far?"

"Unexpectedly, they got ahead of us."

"Unfortunately, the content of this photo is useless. But we still need to speed things up..."

Chapter 149 Going home

Winter goes and spring comes...

Oh, no, spring hasn't arrived yet.

These past few days have been the final exam week for the first semester at Imperial University.

Ye Feng also temporarily put aside other matters and focused on his studies.

After all, as a student and a celebrity at Imperial University, Ye Feng's final exam grades are still very important...

Guo Pengfei also made a special trip back to school to take the exam.

With Deng Ruizhe's help, the development of the Pokédex has been basically completed in its first version. After some minor improvements, we can apply for a patent.

Ye Feng's energy cube was also patented at the same time.

Every April, the community of Pokémon scholars holds a unified press conference to release their research findings.

Following Deng Ruizhe's suggestion, Ye Feng and Guo Pengfei planned to announce the invention of the Energy Cube and the Pokédex at the press conference, which would surely shock the entire nation.

Looking at the enthusiastic Guo Pengfei, Ye Feng finally couldn't help but ask, "Afei..."

"What's wrong, boss?" Guo Pengfei was massaging Shakiras with a massage machine. According to him, Shakiras was about to evolve, at the latest by the Chinese New Year.

"I'm telling you, have you gone astray?" Ye Feng said.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Guo Pengfei asked, looking puzzled.

"I mean, isn't your ideal job to be a breeder?"

“That’s right.” Guo Pengfei nodded.

“But…you,” Ye Feng pointed to the massage machine, “and the berries in my lab…the automatic energy cube generator, and the Pokédex…are you really going down the path of a breeder?”

Guo Pengfei paused for a moment, then stroked his chin thoughtfully: "It doesn't really matter, does it? These things are also very important to breeders, don't they?"

“That’s true,” Ye Feng’s lips twitched, as if he couldn’t find a reason to refute it. “Why don’t you become an inventor? I think that’s more suitable for you.”

"No, no, no, I want to be a breeder!" Guo Pengfei shook his head decisively.

"Whatever," Ye Feng said, feeling a bit of a headache. "You can continue being a 'breeder,' I'll be waiting for the day you figure out Pokémon communication and trading technology too..."

"Huh? What kind of spirit technique?" Guo Pengfei's ears twitched as he keenly heard a word, but he didn't quite catch it. He grabbed Ye Feng and pressed him for an explanation.

"I don't know, I don't know anything." Ye Feng covered his ears, having accidentally let it slip.

"Boss, hurry up and tell me! What kind of spirit and what kind of technology?" Guo Pengfei pried Ye Feng's hand away forcefully, urging him on.

He gets incredibly excited whenever he hears about any technology.

No, we have to get it out of the boss!

In the end, Ye Feng couldn't resist Guo Pengfei's persuasion and had the theory of the Elf Communication Technology extracted from his mouth...

Yes, of course it's just theory; Ye Feng only knows about it.

but···

Seeing Guo Pengfei deep in thought, Ye Feng had a strong suspicion that because of his loose tongue, he might actually be able to come up with this thing many years later.

-------------------------------------

After the final exams, the students can go home and find their mothers.

Dean Chen lifted his protection of Ye Feng, allowing Ye Feng to return home safely.

After sending a message to his parents, Ye Feng boarded the plane.

According to his memory, his parents should already be waiting at home when Ye Feng returned.

However, when the plane landed at Jinghai Airport, Ye Feng turned on his phone and received a message from his parents apologizing.

"Son, I'm sorry, something happened at the lab, and I won't be able to come back this year."

"Your mother and I are doing well, don't worry."

···

?

Well, looks like I'll be alone again this year. Ye Feng sighed.

Last year, I spent the New Year in the secret realm, but this year... I'm not going to go to the secret realm again, am I? Ye Feng scratched his head, standing somewhat bewildered at the exit of the arrival level.

"Ye Feng?" Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice rang out from behind.

Ye Feng turned around and was so surprised that his mouth dropped open: "Zhang Qiang, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Qiang touched his nose, glanced to the other side, and said, "It's nothing, I just happened to pass by and saw you, so I said hello."

Ye Feng was speechless.

Just happened to be passing by? Who the hell would just happen to be passing by an airport? Jinghai Airport is quite far from the city center, what kind of coincidence is that? Besides, you didn't even take a plane back from Shanghai, did you?

"Oh, goodbye then, I'm going to get a taxi." Ye Feng waved and walked towards the taxi pick-up area.

"Damn it!" Zhang Qiang's face twitched as he stepped forward and grabbed Ye Feng's shoulder. "Where are you going?"

Ye Feng turned around, looking bewildered: "Didn't you just happen to be passing by? Then you can keep passing by, I need to take a taxi."

"You!" Zhang Qiang clenched his fists and said fiercely, "Fine, I came to pick you up, okay?"

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow: "Damn it, you're here to pick me up? Has the sun risen in the west?"
