Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

Mu Xue wiped away her tears, and her vision cleared again. In front of her was that handsome yet somewhat annoying face, and she looked at the elves beside her, who were all looking at her with gratified eyes.

"thank you all!"

There was another person, or rather, an elf, who shared the same feelings as her.

Celebi originally planned to finish his meal quickly and go back to his battle, but he was unknowingly infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere and ended up sitting on the sofa laughing heartily.

It felt like I was back in the days when I played freely with the elves in the forest!

The Jade Rabbit hangs high in the sky, and moonlight shines down.

Warm light emanated from the villa's windows, making even the coldest winter month feel less chilly.

Chapter Sixty-Six: Xia Kingdom Alliance Headquarters

In the waiting room of Chengdu International Airport, Ye Chen and Mu Xue sat quietly on chairs, waiting.

Interestingly, both of them were wearing scarves, hats, sunglasses, and thick down jackets, completely covering themselves up, so no one could tell what they actually looked like.

Because of the discovery of his fairy attribute, Ye Chen is currently at the peak of his popularity, so he has to conceal himself like Mu Xue, otherwise he will be recognized by people at a glance no matter where he goes!

On New Year's Eve, they played until after midnight and then went to bed after the New Year. Everyone was having a great time, laughing and joking.

Although when Ye Chen saw Mu Xue again the next day, she still had a cold expression and maintained her elegance, as if she were a completely different person from yesterday.

However, Ye Chen could tell that the distance in her eyes had disappeared, and she hadn't asked about Celebi, a Pokémon she'd never seen before, even though they'd met yesterday.

In short, the relationship between the two is currently quite delicate.

The current timeframe is past the Lunar New Year, but not quite over yet.

Many people who couldn't go home before Lunar New Year's Eve are rushing home to reunite with their families, so the airport is quite crowded.

"Speaking of which, I've never been to the capital before. What's it like?" Ye Chen asked.

"It's not much different from other cities, but the alliance headquarters is indeed a bit special. You'll see when you get there."

Soon it was time to board. The two had bought tickets for seats next to each other. Nothing happened along the way. The plane flew through the clouds and arrived safely in Beijing.

After getting off the plane, Ye Chen checked the time.

"Anyway, the alliance didn't specify when we should go, so why don't we explore the city first and then go?"

Mu Xue thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but try not to stay too long."

They said they were going to have some fun in the city, but in reality, the two of them only had lunch before heading straight to the entrance of the Alliance headquarters.

Although people know that the Alliance headquarters is located here when they talk about the capital, its exact location is not in the city center, but in the suburbs outside the city, covering a huge area and encompassing several surrounding mountains.

However, because of the large flow of people, it does not appear desolate; in fact, it looks more prosperous than some remote parts of the city!

As the headquarters of the Xia Kingdom's Elf Alliance, this place is actually divided into four areas: office area, breeding area, training area, and resource area.

The breeding area has the largest area and includes most of the world's ecosystems, such as small lakes, deserts, plains, forests, and underground environments. It is mainly used to breed various Pokémon, most of which are the offspring of Pokémon from League members.

The resource area is the second largest in area, planted with a large number of fruit trees and other planting resources. The fruit trees that can be planted here are undoubtedly extremely rare and precious. At the deepest part of the resource area is the legendary treasure pavilion.

The training area is where various combat personnel stationed in the capital city train their Pokémon. The facilities are extremely complete and advanced, far superior to the gyms in other cities!

The office area occupies the smallest area, yet it houses three 80-story buildings, housing almost 70% of the staff.

The office area is located at the entrance of the alliance headquarters, so entering the headquarters is equivalent to entering the office area.

As Ye Chen was about to enter the gate, a security guard next to him reached out and stopped him, saying, "Hello, please show your work ID."

Ye Chen turned to look at Mu Xue, who smiled slightly: "Entering the Alliance headquarters requires an Alliance work pass."

After speaking, he took out his ID card and scanned it against the machine. A green light appeared on the machine, and then an electronic female voice said, "Identity verification successful. Welcome, King Muxue."

The security personnel were startled and quickly saluted, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Mu Xue said, "He was someone the higher-ups wanted to see, so I brought him in."

"Ok!"

In fact, it is not difficult to enter the Alliance headquarters building; anyone with a little power can bring people in. However, once inside, many areas have strict security mechanisms, and entry is not permitted without meeting certain requirements.

After entering, Ye Chen came to Mu Xue's side and whispered, "Fine, you knew you needed your ID card to get in, yet you still let me go first."

Mu Xue's lips curled up slightly. Usually, when the two of them competed, she would always suffer a loss. It felt quite satisfying to occasionally let Ye Chen suffer a defeat.

"Who told you to walk so fast?"

The two entered the elevator.

"We need to find the person the Alliance has arranged for you to take over. All the paperwork and documents are with him. He will take us to the Treasure Pavilion."

Having located the office where the handover personnel were, Mu Xue knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A deep, resonant voice came from inside.

Upon opening the door, one finds a small office with rather simple furnishings, likely used temporarily to receive Ye Chen.

When Mu Xue saw the face of the person making the handover, she frowned and asked, "Why is it you?"

The middle-aged man laughed heartily: "Couldn't it be me? I specifically applied for this handover. This must be Comrade Ye Chen." After speaking, he turned to look at Ye Chen, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw Ye Chen's face.

Ye Chen was completely bewildered. Who was this person? He seemed to know Mu Xue very well.

Seeing Ye Chen's confusion, Mu Xue introduced him in a low voice: "This is the current Heavenly King of the Dragon Lineage of Xia Kingdom, Yi Yunfei."

Ye Chen immediately understood why Mu Xue had that expression when she saw the faces of the people making the handover.

After his paper on Fairy-type Pokémon was published, he received praise from all over the world. If there were any people who were unhappy, it would only be trainers who mainly train Dragon-type Pokémon.

However, this Dragon King took the initiative to apply for the job of receiving me and handing over the reins. What exactly he wanted to do was really puzzling.

Yi Yunfei seemed to have seen through Ye Chen's thoughts and explained, "Don't misunderstand me. I just wanted to see what a genius boy who can research new attributes looks like. I'm not that petty."

Ye Chen possesses the power of the Everlasting Rock, making him extremely perceptive.

He didn't sense any malice from this Dragon King, so he stepped forward and extended his hand.

"Hello, the Dragon King of our Xia Kingdom, I believe you are not the kind of narrow-minded person. I have long admired your name!"

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Yi Yunfei's goodwill towards Ye Chen immediately increased, and he reached out and shook hands with Ye Chen firmly.

He was a person with a bold and unrestrained personality, just like the Fighting King, which is why the two had a very good relationship. When he heard Ye Chen's answer, he assumed that Ye Chen was also the kind of person who didn't care about formalities.

"Okay, I've decided to be your friend!"

Yi Yunfei picked up the special card on the table and said, "Let's go to the Treasure Pavilion first. You're probably getting impatient, aren't you? It's been a long time since I've been there."

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Treasure Pavilion!

Although Mu Xue still had some doubts about Yi Yunfei, Ye Chen had already indicated that he didn't care, so she naturally wouldn't express any further opinions.

Moreover, she and Yi Yunfei were colleagues and their relationship wasn't bad. She only acted that way because she suspected he harbored ill will towards Ye Chen.

The three of them took the elevator down to the first floor and then walked through a series of corridors. The people they encountered along the way all bowed respectfully. They must have seen the Four Heavenly Kings often, so when they saw Ye Chen and his companions, they were more curious about who this young man was and why he was walking with two of the Four Heavenly Kings.

"I always felt that the boy looked somewhat familiar."

"Me too, but I just can't remember where I've seen it before."

Another staff member suddenly said, "I remember now, isn't that Ye Chen! The genius researcher who developed the Fairy type!"

"It really is!"

The staff members quickly looked in the direction the three had gone, wanting to see more of what this rumored genius researcher was really like, but the three had already disappeared.

However, news of Ye Chen's arrival at the Alliance headquarters spread quickly, and almost everyone heard about it, speculating about what he was there for.

Yi Yunfei led Ye Chen and Mu Xue to a sightseeing vehicle, and then personally sat in the driver's seat.

"Is the Treasure Pavilion far from here?" Ye Chen asked curiously.

"Haha, we are now at the intersection of the office area and the resource area, while the Treasure Pavilion is at the other end of the resource area, almost crossing the entire resource area, so it is quite far."

The sightseeing bus drove along the road, and various kinds of fruit trees were planted on both sides of the road. None of them were very precious. Ye Chen even saw a huge tree, but it only had a very small fruit on it.

It looked very similar to the Miracle Fruit that the Torterra had given him in the Celebi Secret Realm. It seemed to be a Miracle Fruit that was not yet fully ripe, which made Ye Chen very tempted.

Ye Chen knew all too well how beneficial the Miracle Fruit was. He knew that Milotic and Gardevoir's powerful energy control was at least one-fifth of the credit for that Miracle Fruit.

However, the presence of three near-Elite Four level Grass-type Pokémon guarding the fruit tree immediately dispelled Ye Chen's bad thoughts.

While sitting in the sightseeing car, Ye Chen saw many kinds of fruit trees along the way. Basically, all the fruit trees that have been discovered in the world can be grown here.

It has to be said that the country's foundation is indeed too strong. This is just the tree fruit resources, which already dazzled Ye Chen.

Soon, the sightseeing bus arrived at the entrance of a huge building.

"This is the treasure vault, let's go 々々."

Yi Yunfei led Ye Chen and Mu Xue through the gate, then handed the paperwork in his hand to the security personnel responsible for the area's security.

Ye Chen noticed that there seemed to be very few security personnel here. Looking around, there were only a handful. Was the Alliance really so comfortable with this place? Weren't they afraid of being hacked at all?

Despite having many questions in his mind, Ye Chen did not ask them.
