Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

What kind of Pokémon is Feebas? It's known as the ugliest Pokémon of all. What could be the connection between these two?

However, out of a responsible and conscientious attitude, Shen Yuanwei continued reading.

When Shen Yuanwei saw the physical data of Ugly Fish at each stage of its strength, he became serious. The paper was well-structured, and the data presentation and evidence insertion were just right. It did not seem like a paper that had been submitted casually with a fluke mentality.

Some of the conclusions presented in it even convinced him!

At this point, he had basically determined that the paper could be published for discussion among the academic luminaries in the forum. Perhaps some academic luminaries would actually read the paper and go and breed a Feebas to see if it could evolve into Milotic.

Unfortunately, this paper still lacks crucial evidence to prove that Milotic's juvenile form is Feebas.

Huh? This is... there's another video.

Could it be?

Shen Yuanwei had a guess, but it was still hard to believe.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, he clicked on the video.

In the video, the ugly fish is on the verge of death, with wounds almost piercing through its body. Then, a white light slowly appears on the ugly fish's body.

"This is... the light of evolution!"

Shen Yuanwei could no longer sit still; his guesses were gradually being confirmed.

In the video, the Feebas, enveloped in white light, becomes elongated. Then, as the light fades, it reveals the graceful and magnificent Milotic!

"Oh my God!"

Shen Yuanwei could not imagine the uproar this video would cause in the academic world if it were real.

P.S.: I forgot to include a picture of the Pokémon; this chapter features Milotic.

Chapter Eleven: The Academic World Shocked!

Shen Yuanwei submitted the paper and video to the authorities, and after official verification, the video was found to be genuine and without any signs of modification.

Thus, Ye Chen's first paper was finally officially published in the Pokémon Evolution section of the academic forum, and it was even specially placed in the most prominent position.

Yang Hang is a graduate student at Shanghai University. His graduation thesis focuses on two evolutionary forms of rock dogs.

Therefore, he usually browses the Pokémon evolution section of the forum, but today when he opened the forum, he found that the original paper in the most prominent position had been changed.

"They've changed. I wonder which PhD has published new research findings this time."

Yang Hang clicked on it out of curiosity. When he saw the title, "A Study on the Relationship between Milotica and Ugly Fish," he thought he had clicked the wrong thing and went back out. He clicked on it again and found that it was actually true.

These two elves, one the most beautiful and one the ugliest, how could they be related?

A relationship between two extremes?

Yang Hang continued reading and found that the paper was of extremely high quality. Putting aside the research question, the wording and structural logic of the paper were far superior to his own.

Yang Hang was stunned after reading the whole thing!

Can Feebas evolve into Milotic?

Does Feebas need to reach a certain level of beauty to evolve?

They even used Magikarp evolving into Gyarados as an example.

How can I possibly find such an absurd conclusion reasonable?

"Hey, there's a video in the background, let me see... Holy crap!"

The video shows Feebas evolving into Milotic, which is like a giant hammer, confirming that Feebas and Milotic are the same species!

"This is truly a remarkable discovery. Who is the author? Ye Chen? I don't think I've ever heard of that name in academia. Never mind, I'll send this to my teacher first."

Yang Hang downloaded the paper and sent it to his supervisor, Tan Shou, via email.

Tan Shou is one of the professors at the Pokémon Research Institute of Shanghai University who studies Pokémon evolution. He is a top Pokémon scholar in China. His most famous achievement is the discovery and research that when a Ninjago has an empty Poké Ball, evolving it will result in the evolution of an additional Shedinja.

"Hey, teacher, did you read that paper at today's academic forum?"

"Yang Hang, I haven't been on the forum today, what's wrong?"

"It's so amazing, I really don't know how to describe it. I've sent the paper to your email, you'll see when you read it."

"Alright, if this can surprise you like this, it must be something special. Let me see... Hmm? It's researching Milotic... and Feebas? They're actually related by evolution? This... this is truly unbelievable!"

Professor Tan is a renowned figure in academia with extensive knowledge. Although he was somewhat surprised, he did not lose his composure.

Then he suddenly thought of something and said, "If I remember correctly, Lao Hu has been researching the evolutionary possibilities of the ugly fish recently. Now that someone else has released it first, he's probably going to be so frustrated, haha!"

"Are you talking about Professor Hu Yiwen? I think I heard last time that Professor Hu was comparing the similarities between Feebas and Magikarp, probably trying to find inspiration from Magikarp."

Professor Tan Shou said, "These two have similarities, but according to the paper, the evolution of Feebas is related to beauty, while the evolution of Magikarp is related to anger energy. They have similarities, but their evolutionary directions are completely different."

"By the way, teacher, I don't think I've heard of the author of this paper before. Do you know him?"

"Ye Chen... I haven't heard of this name before either. But there are many people who bury themselves in their studies and study, so it's normal that I haven't heard of him. But this time he has appeared in front of the whole world."

Milotic's dreamlike and gorgeous appearance and its remarkable strength make it a Pokémon that everyone dreams of owning. However, there is currently only one known person in the world who owns Milotic as a Pokémon, and most people only catch a fleeting glimpse of it in the wild!

But the ugly fish is different. Although it is also rare, it can be found from time to time.

With the release of this paper, it was almost certain that the price of Uglyfish would skyrocket, as no one could resist a beautiful Milotic.

Meanwhile, someone had already forwarded the paper to the academic forum chat section.

This caused a huge uproar, with countless people leaving comments below.

"Feebas evolves into Milotic? Am I dreaming?"

"Great! My starter Pokémon is Feebas, so does that mean I can have Milotic too?"

"Is it too late for me to go buy the ugly fish now?"

"Stop dreaming. The price of an Ugly Fish has already skyrocketed to three million Alliance Coins, and it's still going up."

"The ugliest elf can evolve into the most beautiful elf; this is a miracle of life!"

"Discovering that Milotic evolves from Feebas is impressive enough, but what's even more admirable is that the author actually revealed how Feebas evolves. That's amazing!"

"Speaking of which, Magikarp can also evolve into Gyarados. It seems that having no Pokémon is truly useless. We just haven't discovered their abilities yet."

"Is nobody paying attention to the author? Ye Chen, I don't think I've ever heard of that name before."

"It must be some big shot who has been researching it diligently, but he should now be the second person in the world to own Milotic."

Inside a huge manor,

A sexy woman in a bikini reclines on a lounge chair by the swimming pool. Her skin is as white as jade, and her appearance surpasses that of any celebrity on television.

A laptop was resting on her long legs, and the screen was showing a video of Ye Chen's Feebas evolving into Milotic.

"I never imagined that someone as handsome as you was evolved from a pufferfish. I can't believe it."

In the swimming pool in front of her, a snake-like spirit was soaking in it. Hearing the woman's words, the spirit let out an innocent cry to express its dissatisfaction.

If Ye Chen were here, he would recognize it at a glance—it was none other than Milotic!

……

While everyone was going crazy for Milotic, Ye Chen had just gotten out of bed.

Since the top-tier energy cubes had all been used up, Ye Chen could only provide Milotic with some regular energy cubes.

Unlike its Feebas form, Milotic seems to have become somewhat arrogant after evolving.

When faced with these ordinary energy cubes, Milotic actually swept them away with its tail, as if to say that these mundane things were not worthy of being eaten by me.

I only eat the very best quality food!

"Just make do for now, you'll have the money in a few days."

With Ye Chen's comforting words, Milotic reluctantly ate the meager food in front of him.

Just then, Ye Chen's phone rang.

P.S.: The picture is of Celebi. As usual, I'm asking for some flowers and ratings today!

Chapter Twelve: Registered Trainer Levels

Ye Chen was initially curious about who had called him.

When I picked it up, I saw that girl Jiang Shuyun. She had said she was coming to my house to see the ugly fish, but so many days have passed and I haven't heard from her.

Feebas has evolved!

"Hey, what's up?"

"Old Ye, I have some great news for you! You'll be absolutely thrilled when you hear it, haha!"

Jiang Shuyun's carefree voice came from the phone. Whether Ye Chen was happy or not was hard to say, but she herself was extremely excited.

"What good news is there that makes you so happy? I really want to hear it."

"The latest research has discovered that the most beautiful Pokémon, Milotic, actually evolved from Feebas! Haha, how exciting is that? You have to treat me to a meal for this news!"

Ye Chen was somewhat surprised: "You found out so quickly?"

Jiang Shuyun doesn't usually pay attention to academic forums, so the fact that she knows about this news shows how influential this paper is.
