Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

"Wait, what's your name? I'll definitely beat you next time!" Meng Ming shouted from behind.

Ye Chen didn't even stop walking. He simply waved his hand and quickly left the battle park with Mu Xue to prevent anyone from catching up and discovering his identity at close range.

Meng Ming clenched his fist. They won't even say their names? That's too arrogant! Next time... next time we meet, I'll definitely team up with Blaziken to reclaim victory!

The story of the mysterious boy successfully evolving after defeating Blaziken with Gible is destined to become a topic of conversation among onlookers on the streets.

However, none of this concerned Ye Chen. He led Mu Xue to a secluded place before stopping.

"So you knew that Gible was on the verge of evolution before you participated in the competition?" Mu Xue looked at Ye Chen curiously.

"Um...you could say that. This is a scientific training method I invented." Ye Chen scratched his head. He couldn't very well say that a system was assigning him tasks.

Mu Xue exclaimed, "So being an elf researcher has this advantage!"

The two took a taxi back to the neighborhood. Ye Chen originally wanted to invite Mu Xue to his house for a while, but she went straight back to her villa, so Ye Chen had to give up.

"You're back? How was your trip to the capital? Did those people give you any trouble?" Ye's mother asked with concern when she saw Ye Chen return.

Ye Chen's reason for giving her this was that the Alliance headquarters wanted to present her with an award, which required her to go to Beijing. Mu Xue was from Beijing and knew the place well, so she would accompany her.

"Fortunately, I also met the current Dragon King, but... the food there isn't really to my taste." Ye Chen thought for a moment but ultimately didn't mention the things he had heard from He Sheng about his father.

He didn't know if his mother knew about these things, but if she didn't, telling her would only make her panic and disbelief.

If she knew all this, she would naturally have her reasons for not telling me. Perhaps she felt she wasn't strong enough, or perhaps she felt she wasn't mature enough. In any case, I will definitely find out the truth behind this matter!

Mother Ye raised her head as if recalling something: "The Dragon King... My son is getting more and more amazing, he can even make friends with these important figures."

"Mom, I'm going upstairs to check on Celebi." Ye Chen put down his luggage and went straight upstairs.

"Okay, you go."

"Oh, right, Mom, I caught a new Pokémon on my trip to the capital, it's a Garchomp!" Ye Chen suddenly turned back and said.

"Garuda?" Ye's mother's expression was somewhat strange. "It's actually a pseudo-god, then you'd better train it well!"

Mother Ye kept her head down as she continued to break vegetables, her hair falling down to slightly cover her face. No matter what kind of spirit her son had captured, as long as he supported her, that was enough for her.

Ye Chen walked into his room and immediately saw Celebi sitting in a chair with its back to him.

Ye Chen was still wondering if Celebi was that tall, but when he got closer, he saw that there was a bunch of books piled up crookedly on the chair. Celebi was sitting on the books so that it could barely reach the mouse and keyboard.

Celebi, wearing headphones, seemed unaware that Ye Chen had returned, as she had just started a new game.

· ········Requesting flowers··· ···

Ye Chen also wanted to see how good Celebi was, so he didn't say anything and just stood quietly to the side watching.

At the very beginning, Celebi made some simple constructions and then frantically led its civilization's initial Pokémon out to capture other wild Pokémon groups to strengthen its power. Moreover, its hand speed was incredibly fast and its operation was very skillful, making Ye Chen feel ashamed of his own.

He even defeated some elven groups that were clearly outmatched at the current stage with his skillful maneuvers. Then, taking advantage of the fact that the computer characters next to him had not yet developed, he launched a massive elven army attack, heading straight for the enemy's stronghold.

Moreover, judging from the computer's controls, it was clearly at the highest difficulty level, yet it was being repeatedly defeated by Celebi.

Ye Chen was completely stunned.

....... ......... 0

In just a few days, Celebi's skills have improved so much!

Just then, Celebi seemed to finally notice the person standing next to him, and turned his head with delight, exclaiming, "You're back!"

"Your technical skills are improving very quickly."

Celebi patted his chest proudly and said, "Of course! These computers can't beat me at all now. There's another computer over there, want to play a game with me?"

Celebi was eager to show Ye Chen the results of her hard work over the past few days.

"Ahem, I have something important to discuss with you now, this can wait." Ye Chen coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

"Oh, okay then," Celebi said, sounding a little disappointed. "What's wrong?"

"Here's the thing, I went to the League headquarters to receive an award, and I chose a water droplet containing a trace of Kyogre's original power, but Milotic can't fully absorb it right now. Do you have any ideas?"

Celebi was listening attentively at first, but when it heard Kyogre's name, it jumped up from its chair like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"Gai...Gaiuka!?"

Before Celebi's eyes, the deep blue sea suddenly deepened in color, and then a gigantic fish-like Pokémon slowly emerged from the surface, its ancient Pokémon-symbol patterns radiating an ancient aura.

In the distance, a gigantic elf, its body entirely red and flowing with magma, was approaching step by step, turning everything it passed into earth!

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Milotic's True Potential

"Why do you seem so scared when you hear the name Kyogre?" Ye Chen asked, puzzled.

Celebi flew shakily through the air, her voice tinged with fear:

"Even legendary Pokémon are divided into different levels, and Kyogre is the top-level legendary Pokémon. And it just so happens to like fighting with another big guy. Every time they fight, they destroy a large area. The aftershocks from their battles are enough to destroy me."

Simply put, Celebi once witnessed a war between Groudon and Kyogre, where a mere gesture caused the mountains and seas to collapse.

It was only by virtue of its ability to travel through time that it managed to escape this calamity. However, the earth-shattering scene and the two figures that resembled demons and gods still haunted its mind.

Ye Chen seemed to be deep in thought. Celebi had seen Kyogre and Groudon before, but it descended into this world in a secret realm. What was the origin of these secret realms?

Shaking his head, he dismissed these thoughts; they were too far off for Ye Chen at the moment.

"If your Milotic has truly gained even a trace of Kyogre's power, I can't even imagine how far it will go in the future," Celebi said, her expression filled with admiration and disbelief.

"But the problem now is that we don't know how to unleash the remaining power within Milotic."

Celebi thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Kyogre and Groudon fought for natural energy. Maybe natural energy is the power that makes it stronger. You can also try letting Milotic absorb natural energy."

Ye Chen also knew a little about the concept of natural energy.

Both Kyogre and Groudon can use natural energy to revert to their original form from tens of millions of years ago.

Primal Reversion is different from Mega Evolution. It allows one to revert to their appearance from countless years ago and retain the powerful abilities they had at that time. Currently, only Groudon and Kyogre are known to be able to Primal Reversion.

Therefore, it's not unreasonable to say that absorbing natural energy can make Groudon and Kyogre stronger.

Ye Chen nodded silently, keeping this in mind, and planned to have Milotic try absorbing natural energy sometime in the future.

Perhaps it can not only accelerate the absorption of Kyogre's original power, but also hopefully strengthen that power.

Furthermore, it's important to know that Groudon and Kyogre don't exist in this world at this time, meaning no Pokémon would compete with Milotic for natural energy.

Once Minas discovers a way to absorb natural energy, it will be able to enjoy the natural energy of the entire Earth!

Ye Chen then released Milotic for Celebi to take a closer look. Although Celebi was mentally prepared, it was still startled by the ancient aura it exuded the moment it saw Milotic.

Celebi cautiously stepped forward to check Milotic's internal condition. After circulating its psychic energy around Milotic's body, Celebi looked at Milotic with a puzzled expression.

"Although it absorbed Kyogre's power, that power doesn't seem to be hidden within its own energy, but rather within its body."

Ye Chen asked, puzzled, "What's the difference?"

"Normally, when absorbing energy, the external energy is wrapped into one's own energy, and then digested and purified into one's own energy over time. But this energy seems to have broken away from the energy enclosure and is hidden in its own body."

"Is it good or bad?"

Celebi scratched its head in confusion: "I guess it's a benefit. Milotic's body is unfamiliar to it, and it will feel uncomfortable, so it will try its best to modify Milotic's body, and the ultimate goal of the modification is..."

Ye Chen understood. This energy was suited to its original owner, Kyogre's, body. Therefore, it would continuously modify Milotic's body to resemble Kyogre's, which was why ancient markings appeared on Milotic's body.

As for whether it's good or bad, it's definitely good!

If the transformation is successful, Milotic's life level will be the same as Kyogre's, which means Milotic will have the potential to become a Tier 1 god!

As for whether it will transform Milotic's mind and body, that's basically impossible, because Milotic's three-day slumber was less about absorbing energy and more about taming it.

This energy has gained recognition for its new master!

Therefore, it will only work tirelessly to make Milotic's body stronger and stronger!

Celebi had been a great help this time, so at Celebi's request, Ye Chen bought it another game.

Total War: Three Kingdoms is a game similar in genre to Civilization, but it offers a different kind of fun. It's also extremely time-consuming, and since Celebi has experience with Civilization, she'll pick it up quickly!

Watching Celebi excitedly click to download, Ye Chen smiled, shook his head, and lay down on the bed.

After painstakingly writing two papers over the past six months, and then making a trip to Beijing, I am now lying in bed feeling a long-lost sense of relaxation.

　3.3 Ye Chen took advantage of the last period before the start of the semester to relax a little and also purchased some raw materials for making top-tier dragon-type energy cubes, thus mastering the crafting method.

Milotic devoted itself to researching ways to absorb natural energy every day, while Gardevoir continued to train its psychic powers and would occasionally ask Celebi for advice. Celebi would also leave the computer to guide Gardevoir under Ye Chen's intimidation.

As for Garchomp, it is adapting to its evolved body. Unlike Gardevoir and Milotic, it is more adept at close-quarters combat than energy-based attacks, so it needs to become more familiar with the new structure of its evolved body.

Before we knew it, the new semester had begun.

Chapter 80 School Team

The last opening ceremony was half a year ago. At that ceremony, Ye Chen became famous instantly because of a paper on Milotic, and was known throughout the school.

Everyone originally thought that the Alliance would send someone to reward Ye Chen again after he published his paper on the Fairy type. However, strangely, this opening ceremony was the same as usual, and nothing else happened.

Ye Chen knew, of course, that it was because he had already received the reward, which included legendary resources and a full ten million in cash.

Although it was strange that no reward had been given to Ye Chen, the students probably thought the alliance reward had already been given out, or perhaps it hadn't been finalized yet. In any case, there were many reasons, and the students didn't think much of it.

Time flies at school. This was one of the few days Ye Chen had spent at school since publishing his first paper, where he did nothing but simply enjoy school life.
