Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

As a Pokémon that grew up in the breeding area, Gible has never eaten Energy Cubes before.

The League's Pokémon breeding area also has some less valuable berries, which Pokémon will pick and eat when they are hungry. However, the berries in the breeding area are of course not as valuable as those that are specially planted, which is why Gible has to go to the resource planting area many times.

Eat even tastier tree fruits!

And at this moment, this strange and unfamiliar thing tasted better than all the tree fruits it had ever eaten. It was truly amazing!

Gardevoir's goodwill towards Gible increased dramatically after seeing Gible's performance, since every chef hopes that their food will be liked by others.

Ye Chen rubbed his head. What on earth did this guy eat before? It was clearly an energy cube that Psychic-type Pokémon eat, yet it could eat it with relish!

Then, it took out a top-tier dragon-type energy cube from its system space. The Gible, which was chewing non-stop, froze. What was this taste like?

Gible is, after all, a Dragon-type Pokémon. While Gardevoir's Psychic-type cubes are delicious, they are ultimately less appealing to Gible than Dragon-type Energy Cubes.

Gible looked towards Ye Chen following the scent; the fragrant aroma was coming from the object in his hand.

It looked at Ye Chen in disbelief. Was this also for me to eat?

After receiving Ye Chen's confirmation, the Gible opened its massive jaws and swallowed Ye Chen's hand whole. Ye Chen's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly pried open its mouth to remove his hand.

At this moment, the Gible was already in tears. As a child who had never seen its parents and lacked love, it felt the warmth of family. Its owner was so kind to share such delicious food with it!

I must train hard and strive to become the strongest Pokémon to repay my master's kindness!

Ye Chen had no idea what Gible was thinking. He took out a tissue and wiped his right hand, which was covered in Gible's saliva.

Good heavens! Luckily, the Gible knew its limits and didn't chew directly with its teeth, otherwise its hand would have been ruined.

After seeing that Gible, Milotic, and Gardevoir had become familiar with each other, Ye Chen finally took out the special container containing the Primal Water.

Amidst the curious gazes of the Pokémon, he said, "This is the League's reward this time—a legendary resource. I chose Primal Water, which is related to Kyogre's power. Gardevoir and Gible, don't worry, I'll bring you gifts next time I have the chance..."

"Shanai~"

Gardevoir gently reassured her that she already had Silver Wings and it was alright.

Gible was still in a tearful state, saying that all it needed was a bite to eat and it dared not ask for anything else.

Ye Chen opened the container and then let Milotic swallow the water sphere into its mouth. This method of absorption can minimize the energy lost during the absorption process.

Watching Milotic close its eyes and begin to absorb and comprehend its mysteries, Ye Chen opened the system.

Pokémon: Milotic

Status: Sleeping, absorbing the power source from Kyogre, the legendary embodiment of the sea.

……

"Hey, Lao Qin. Do you know that gible? It got caught today," Yi Yunfei said on the phone.

All Pokémon in the breeding area are numbered. Every Pokémon that is captured or assigned to someone must be recorded for management purposes. Even Elite Four members must report to the breeding area administrators when capturing Pokémon.

"Which Gible? Wait! It's not the one you wanted to catch before, is it?" Old Qin suddenly asked excitedly.

"Yes, how could I not want to part with it? Gible is the Pokémon that asked to become my friend."

Old Qin continued excitedly, "You knew the origin of that elf, so why didn't you stop it when it was being captured?"

"Why are you stopping us? Do I need to tell you how Gible is doing in your breeding area? Although 3.3 has good living conditions, it has long had psychological problems. Besides, the person who captured it is the discoverer of the Fairy type this time. This identity is enough to qualify it as Gible's owner."

"You... sigh! You only came to report after we'd already subdued them. I'll report this to the guild master!"

Old Qin was on the verge of tears. Gible had extraordinary potential, but it was captured by someone else while he was out for a short while, and by a researcher no less. Wasn't this a complete waste of such a great talent?

"Go ahead, just have the president come find me later," Yi Yunfei said nonchalantly.

"Hmph!" Old Qin snorted and hung up the phone, then directly reported the matter to the president of the Xia Kingdom Elf Alliance.

However, when the guild leader learned that Ye Chen had captured the Gible, he didn't force its return. Instead, he said with great satisfaction, "Just consider it a return to its rightful owner."

Chapter 71 Ye Yuanhao

Ye Chen was unaware of what had happened to the league's higher-ups. Milotic was still asleep, and it was unknown when it would awaken.

He then took Gardevoir and Gible to a Pokémon restaurant in the capital city for dinner, and then took advantage of the night to visit many famous attractions in Xia Kingdom.

After all, that's the point of travel: when you come to a place, you should experience the local lifestyle and pace of life, and you can't miss the famous attractions.

Before going to sleep that night, Ye Chen clicked to use "Cynthia's Garchomp Training Guide".

He had previously discovered that the efficiency of the system directly feeding information into the brain and the efficiency of the brain absorbing information are greatly improved during sleep.

In his dream, he watched from a first-person perspective the entire process of Cynthia training Gible to Garchomp, the training of every muscle, the variation of every move, and the path that Cynthia's Garchomp took.

While imparting this knowledge won't lead him down Cynthia's path, it will quickly make him a qualified Gible trainer and provide inspiration for Gible's future.

The next morning, Ye Chen looked at the spot where Milotic was lying.

It remained with its eyes closed, showing no signs of waking up. Its body was unchanged from yesterday. If it weren't for the system indicating that Milotic was still absorbing the power, Ye Chen would have thought it was just asleep.

Ye Chen had another reason for coming to the capital: to visit He Sheng, a big shot he had known since he published his first paper.

After all, they helped me a lot, and now that it's Chinese New Year, I should pay them a visit.

Ye Chen first called to confirm that the other party was at home, and then asked for their location.

Before leaving, Ye Chen thought for a moment and then used a Poké Ball to recall Milotic. Leaving it alone in the hotel would be unsafe, and it would probably be anxious if it woke up and didn't see them.

He Sheng's residence is a small villa in the city, which is not large, even smaller than Ye Chen's house.

The neighborhood isn't particularly nice, and people who don't know the area would never guess that one of the deputy directors of the investigation department would live in such a place.

Ding Dong!

The woman who opened the door was dressed simply. Although there were wrinkles around her eyes, you could tell from the details that she was an extremely beautiful woman when she was young.

The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up when she saw Ye Chen: "You must be Xiao Chen, right? My husband is inside, come on in, please."

Ye Chen said respectfully, "Happy New Year. Um, I don't know how to address you?"

"Just call me Aunt Zhang." The middle-aged woman complained when she saw what Ye Chen was carrying. "Why did you bring so much stuff? Come on in."

After entering the house, Aunt Zhang led Ye Chen to the study, where He Sheng was reading a book.

Seeing Ye Chen enter, He Sheng pointed to the chair opposite him and said with a smile, "So many people wanted to come to my house for the New Year, but I turned them all down for you."

"I'll go make you a cup of tea," Aunt Zhang said with a smile before leaving.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "You and Aunt Zhang have such a good relationship. How did you two meet?"

He Sheng said slowly with a nostalgic expression, "That happened decades ago, let's not talk about it. But you didn't come here just to wish me a Happy New Year, did you?"

Ye Chen chuckled: "You helped me so much before, and I finally got to come to the capital, so I had to come and pay you a visit right away."

He Sheng smiled and said, "You're kind enough, but while you're fine, I am."

"Please tell me."

“An old fellow knew you were coming to my place and gave me a heads-up, telling you to go to a place where someone wants to see you.”

Ye Chen asked with some curiosity, "I wonder who wants to see me?"

“I don’t know who it is either, but it won’t hurt you to go and see. After all, that old guy won’t harm you. But there’s no rush. You can go whenever you have some free time while you’re in the capital.”

Ye Chen became even more curious. Logically speaking, since he had just arrived in the capital, he shouldn't know many people here. Why did it seem like those people were very familiar with him?

"Then who is this 'old guy' you're talking about?"

"Qin Anzhi, you know him, right?"

Ye Chen was taken aback. This name was known to everyone in Xia Country. How could he not know it!

The current president of the Xia Kingdom Elf Alliance is named Qin Anzhi, which means he is the actual person in charge of the Xia Kingdom Alliance. Ye Chen has seen him on TV more than once; he is a kind and amiable old man.

Ye Chen was surprised that this person had also noticed him, and even more surprised that his Uncle He, whose identity he didn't know, would directly call that person "old guy".

So what is his identity?

"Uncle He, you..."

He Sheng paused for two seconds, seemingly hesitating whether to tell Ye Chen his identity or everything else.

Finally, he said, "Do you know about Alliance Investigators?"

"Of course I know that."

Alliance investigators are a group of armed personnel directly under the command of the Xia Kingdom Elf Alliance headquarters. They are responsible for handling events that seem far removed from ordinary people, such as the arrival of secret realms, elven sieges, foreign spies, or terrorist organizations.

The last time a secret realm descended upon Chang'an City, a group of investigators entered the realm to participate in the rescue.

They are like warriors fighting in the dark side of the world. If they disappear, these terrifying dangers will hang over the heads of every ordinary person, constantly threatening their safety.

Because of the danger of their work, one of the hard requirements for joining is to have the skills of a senior trainer!

However, they are also a group of people with a very high status in the league, because they basically represent the strongest strength of a country in the field of Pokémon training.

"I am one of the deputy ministers of the Alliance's Investigation Department, and my responsibilities include investigating intrusions by Alliance officials and foreign spies."

Ye Chen also had some understanding of the Investigation Department. The Investigation Department had three deputy directors, each in charge of a different area.

I never expected that the uncle I met when I published my first paper would have such a background. I don't think someone with such a background would make a special trip to Chengdu to present me with an award.

Seeing Ye Chen's surprised expression, He Sheng reached into the drawer next to him and took out a photo.

There are four people in the photo, including He Sheng. However, He Sheng does not have the hideous scar on his face, and he looks very young.
