Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

However, with Ye Chen's healing power and the effect of the wave guide power within its body, it quickly recovered. This is the source of the bear disciple's confidence to train so recklessly.

Otherwise, if an ordinary elf trained as relentlessly and without restraint as it did, it would have ruined itself long ago!

Garchomp suddenly roared, and Ye Chen looked over and asked, "Do you want me to help you turn the gravity multiplier to the highest?"

It nodded quickly; the thing was more fun than it had expected, and out of curiosity, it naturally wanted to know what the highest gravity multiplier would look like.

So Ye Chen went up and directly adjusted the multiplier to the highest 10x. Almost instantly, Garchomp's smile froze, its bones creaked, and it had already used up all its strength just by standing there.

Under its urging gaze, Ye Chen slowly adjusted its gravity multiplier back.

"Just to pique your curiosity, let's see if you dare to do it again next time."

Garchomp quickly shook its head, looking like a good boy.

Ye Chen looked at Xiong's apprentice, "What about you? Do you want to give it a try too?"

Seeing Garchomp go down, the bear apprentice quickly shook its head. Although it loved training, it knew it couldn't mess around. If it did that, it probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed for three days.

The two Pokémon were having a great time getting used to gravity training in the backyard, while Ye Chen walked to Mu Xue's house and rang the doorbell.

The door opened, and Mu Xue, dressed in loungewear, leaned lazily against the door frame. The clothes were quite thin, and when the wind blew, they clung to her body, revealing a bit of her perfect figure.

"What wind blew our top researcher here?"

Ye Chen thought to himself, "This woman is dressed way too scantily!"

"Well... I'm going out in a couple of days to find some research materials in a secret realm."

Mu Xue brushed her wind-blown hair aside, nodded, and said, "Okay, I got it. Just call me when you're ready to leave."

In fact, if the Genesis Society's influence within the Xia Kingdom had not been eradicated before, Mu Xue would never have agreed to Ye Chen's request. Once they left Rongcheng, which was heavily guarded by the Alliance, the Genesis Society could launch an attack at any time.

Just as Mu Xue finished speaking and was about to close the door, she noticed that Ye Chen showed no sign of leaving.

"Anything else?"

Ye Chen forced himself to calm down and took out the two Mega Stones he had bought from the Trainer Forum.

"I hope you can contact the headquarters of the Xia Kingdom Alliance. I'd like to find some stones like these."

Mu Xue picked up the Venusaur's Mega Stone and examined it closely. Apart from its strange appearance, she couldn't see anything special about it.

"This stone has a peculiar shape. Is this the kind of stone you're looking for in the secret realm?"

“That’s right, this stone is very important for my next stage of research.”

Mu Xue placed the Mega Evolution Stone back into Ye Chen's hand, and their fingers inevitably touched.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and only one feeling came to his mind: so smooth and tender!

Mu Xue seemed oblivious, and said in her usual cool tone, "Alright, I'll report to the Alliance headquarters. I doubt those old guys will refuse you."

After Ye Chen left, the moment Mu Xue closed the door, two blushes rose on her cheeks as she leaned against it.

She was completely different from her previous aloof demeanor!

"Could it be that I'm actually interested in this kid?"

In fact, when Ye Chen rang the doorbell, Mu Xue had her elf detect who was at the door.

Upon learning that it was Ye Chen, she didn't know why, but on some inexplicable impulse, she came downstairs to open the door without changing her clothes.

A gust of cold wind blew in after she opened the door, and Mu Xue calmed down before realizing what she had done. But in front of Ye Chen, she had no choice but to continue pretending, otherwise Ye Chen would probably laugh at her for making a fool of herself.

Even when their fingers touched, Mu Xue almost couldn't hold back, but luckily she managed to restrain herself in the end.

"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time." Jiang Shuyun's face suddenly flashed through Mu Xue's mind.

Having been familiar with Ye Chen's background, she knew perfectly well that Ye Chen had a childhood sweetheart with whom he had grown up. What kind of behavior was it for her to interfere like this? Besides, strictly speaking, she was several years older than him.

Mu Xue shook her head, banishing those absurd thoughts from her mind. She decided to first convey his request to the Alliance headquarters.

Chapter 125 Absorbing Natural Energy!

The next day, Ye Chen arrived at the school and went straight to the principal's office.

The principal looked up when he heard the knocking, his tone carrying a strange undertone.

"Oh, it's Ye Chen! I read your paper about the new Pokémon that you posted recently. It was pretty good, keep it up! By the way, what can I do for you?"

Since Ye Chen published his paper on the fairy system, the principal's opinion of Ye Chen has completely changed.

If Ye Chen previously displayed himself as a rare research genius, now, apart from lacking the connections of those veteran research giants in the academic world, he is on par with them in other aspects, and even holds a more transcendent position.

Of course, if the outside world knew that Lu Xinghe placed Ye Chen on the same level as himself, then Ye Chen's status in the research community would be almost unmatched!

Therefore, the principal had previously regarded Ye Chen as the most outstanding student he had taught in the past few decades. Now, Ye Chen's social standing was even higher than his own, and this was the first time he had ever seen such an awkward relationship between him and his student.

"Principal, it's like this, I've recently had some new ideas, so I'm planning to ask for another week off."

Upon hearing these familiar words, the principal's expression froze. When was the last time Ye Chen said something like this?

It seems that after he said that last time, he created a new fairy-type attribute, making the whole world remember the name Ye Chen.

How long has it been and you're already saying you have new ideas?

Besides, you didn't ask me for leave when you published that paper on the new race of elves not long ago. Could it be that it's another research project at the level of the fairy type that would make you ask for leave?

Those elf doctors all spend decades painstakingly researching before they can produce a research result that shocks the world. And you, in less than half a year, have another one.

"Are you... about to make headlines again?" the principal said, swallowing hard.

"I do have some ideas, but it will take some time to actually develop them. However, this trip is also very important."

Actually, Ye Chen didn't plan to bring out the Mega Evolution so early; he was only going there to find the Mega Evolution Stone.

Mega Evolution is far more significant than Fairy-type Pokémon. The strongest Pokémon known to human society is Champion-level, and no one has ever been known to possess power beyond that of a Champion. Mega Evolution, on the other hand, is a groundbreaking research achievement that can raise the upper limit of the battle power of top human trainers!

If Ye Chen were to announce the super evolution, all the powerful individuals in the world would become fervent in their pursuit of its power, since advancing any further at their level would be incredibly difficult.

Who knows, some powerful figure might suddenly appear from some remote corner, kidnap Ye Chen, and then imprison him, forcing him to delve deeper into all the relevant knowledge about super evolution.

In Ye Chen's plan, he would wait until he possessed the combat power of a Heavenly King before announcing the super evolution.

Hearing Ye Chen say that this research project was still a long way off, the principal breathed a sigh of relief. If you were to produce another amazing research result so quickly, that would be too frightening.

As for whether or not leave was granted, both of them knew in their hearts that Ye Chen was just coming to inform them.

Given his current achievements, whether he goes to school or not is no longer important. The fact that he even informed me of his leave request is already a great honor for me, the principal.

"No problem, I approve this leave. I hope that you, Ye Chen, will continue your research and produce more beneficial results for our Xia Kingdom!"

After packing his things and leaving the school, Ye Chen went straight home.

Coincidentally, the League reward for his previously published paper on his apprentice, a black belt, has also been issued. It seems that the League is giving this reward specifically to him.

Ye Chen called over Xiong's apprentice and tied the black belt around its waist; it fit quite well.

The bear apprentice spun around twice, feeling that he did indeed look a bit more handsome than before, and then revealed a silly smile.

Ye Chen then sent a message to Mu Xue on his phone.

"I'm all ready. We'll set off tomorrow."

A while later, Mu Xue sent a message back.

"understood."

"That really suits her personality," Ye Chen muttered as he put away his phone.

Suddenly, a surge of life-giving energy emanated from the backyard.

Ye Chen frowned and looked around. Among his Pokémon, only Celebi could emit such a power fluctuation that was so close to nature. Why wasn't it playing games in the room? What was it doing in the backyard?

Upon arriving in the backyard, we indeed saw Celebi floating in the air, though it also looked surprised.

"What's wrong? Did you suddenly unleash a skill?"

Although Celebi spends most of its time playing on the computer or on its phone, and only occasionally teaches Ye Chen's Pokémon, it has never actually trained Ye Chen's Pokémon.

However, at this moment, its level has clearly returned to the early stage of the senior level, and its speed of strength improvement is no slower than Ye Chen's other elves.

Celebi waved its hands repeatedly and said, "Celebi! It wasn't me just now, it was it!"

Following Celebi's pointing finger, Milotic stood upright with its eyes closed, the ancient Pokémon markings on its body faintly visible, and dark clouds seemed to be gathering in the sky.

"What's going on here?"

“By the way! I was just teaching you the key points of the power of nature, and then it suddenly used itself, 837, and that's it. I called it, but it wouldn't respond.”

Ye Chen quickly used his wave guide to probe Milotic. There was nothing wrong with it, but it seemed to be absorbing some kind of mysterious energy.

Is this natural energy?

Ye Chen thought to himself, and with that thought, he was no longer in a hurry to wake Milotic. After all, natural energy was extremely beneficial to it. He just didn't know how long the rain would last.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, Ye Chen quickly sent all the Pokémon inside, leaving only Milotic in the backyard. As a Water-type Pokémon, getting rained on was just like breathing normally for humans, so it wouldn't be a problem.

Then, in the blink of an eye, dark clouds gathered, and the world became hazy under the veil of rain.

Milotic's control must have improved considerably, because the rain wasn't as heavy as it had been in the capital.

"Minas must have sensed the natural energy and is absorbing it now."

Although Celebi was surprised, it seemed that she had nothing else to do now, so she went back to playing her game.
