The events unfold one after another, which might be tiring to read. So, I'll occasionally add some heartwarming (in my opinion) little stories to lighten the mood.

Fire-breathing dragon.

Chapter 303 Greed

Su Hao followed Mi Hao slowly, but his mind was constantly thinking.

This Mihao possesses a unique waveguide that only appears when he harbors malice towards everything around him.

His promotion from intern technician to full researcher in just a few months is also highly suspicious.

Considering that his elderly mother was now in full charge of the Evolution Research Institute, Su Hao felt it was necessary to investigate this person's background more thoroughly.

A moment later, the two arrived at their destination.

It was still that same silver-white metal door, and inside were still the researchers, each performing their duties.

The only difference was that Mihao went from being a junior technician who could only organize data in non-core areas to a full-fledged researcher who could enter the core area with a normal expression.

He walked with practiced ease to a lab bench where a group of people were gathered and blended in naturally.

His relaxed and cheerful demeanor makes it hard to imagine that this person's aura is filled with malice towards everything around him.

..............

Su Hao found his mother, Ms. Su Qing, in an artificial ecological garden within the research institute.

Su Hao stepped forward and said, "Mom."

Su Qing still had her hair styled in a single braid that reached her shoulders, and her white coat was exactly the same as when they last met.

Su Qing beamed with joy and quickly waved to Su Hao, saying, "You're here."

Su Hao obediently walked over, only to see Su Qing smiling serenely, pointing to a spot not far away and whispering, "Look over there."

Su Hao looked in the direction she pointed and saw a small brown fox, much healthier than when he first saw it, wagging its tail in the flowerbed, its tiny black nose gently sniffing a rose.

Su Hao's aura could sense that Eevee's physical condition was much better than before, and its appearance was almost indistinguishable from that of a normal Pokémon.

The once dull, tangled brown fur has become smooth and shiny.

Its tail also became more fluffy, with its serrated, buttery-brown fur swaying slightly in the rhythm of the wind.

Unlike wild Eevee, whose ears are as long as a rabbit's, Eevee's ears don't stand up at all times to be alert to any movement around it.

His ears were drooping slightly, which showed that he trusted and was relaxed in the environment.

Su Hao exclaimed, "You're in much better shape now."

"Yes, I'm feeling much better." Su Qing smiled happily, looking like she was in a good mood.

She then exclaimed, "I never imagined that after searching for so many ways to fill in the genetic gaps and suppress genetic breakdown for Eevee, it would all be accomplished by an intern technician."

Trainee technician?

Su Hao was stunned for a moment, his heart filled with turmoil.

He asked casually, "Who is it? I have to thank him for that."

Su Qing didn't find anything strange. She had already talked to her son and decided that Ibu would be adopted by him.

There's nothing wrong with the son, as the adoptive parent, thanking the researchers who made contributions.

Su Qing's beautiful eyes revealed admiration, and she said with a slight smile, "Speaking of which, you've met that person before. He's Mi Hao, who led the way for you twice."

"What, didn't he mention it to you?"

As she spoke, her brows furrowed slightly, clearly puzzled.

Su Hao shook his head: "He didn't mention it."

Su Qing stroked her chin, pondering for a moment, and said, "That's strange..."

Mihao is very talented, but he is a bit too pragmatic.

He used this research result as a stepping stone to ask the former director, who had not yet officially retired, to jump from an intern technician to a full researcher.

The original plan, after discussions at the research institute, was to focus on nurturing Mi Hao and gradually unleash his research talent.

After all, this person only has a vocational college degree, and in many areas he can only be considered half-baked, and still needs more experience.

This research institute will not take over the technology that compensates for gene defects; he will remain the first author.

With this achievement, it was almost a certainty that he would be promoted to a full researcher.

However, this person seemed to be in a hurry to become a formal researcher immediately.

Left with no other option, the former director initiated a background check, which confirmed the person's identity.

Born an orphan, with a clean and unblemished resume, he was granted the title of formal researcher through a special channel.

As a result, although Su Qing's impression of Mi Hao was still that he was "a talent worth cultivating," she still labeled him in her mind as somewhat eager for quick success and instant benefits.

However, it's normal for geniuses to have some quirks. Miho might lack a sense of security because of his orphan background, and he needs to receive accurate feedback to feel at ease.

Therefore, he likes to make his achievements public and receive praise.

Su Qing couldn't understand it at all, but she immediately put this unimportant matter out of her mind and said seriously to Su Hao, "Let me tell you about Eevee's current situation first, and then you can decide whether you want to catch him."

Su Hao's gaze flickered, and he nodded earnestly in response, "Okay."

Su Qing said expressionlessly, "Ibu is currently able to live a normal life and breathe outside air."

She pulled a stone with flames burning inside from her white coat and said, "But not only can he not fight, he can't even evolve now."

"Is this a side effect of the drug used to treat gene breakdown?"

Su Hao frowned and thought for a moment. Was it good or bad to exchange the loss of possibilities for a body that could barely be considered "healthy"?

"Regret it? Eevee is of no use to you as a trainer because it can't battle or train."

Su Qing's words were sharp, showing no mercy even to her beloved son.

She knew perfectly well that her son was a good boy.

But she had to make sure that Su Hao wouldn't abandon Eevee just because it couldn't battle or evolve.

This is because it's for Ibrahimovic's sake, and also for Su Hao's sake.

"No."

Su Hao shook his head, his bright golden eyes sparkling like planets in the night sky.

His tone was devoid of any confusion; he said earnestly, word by word, "I can't."

"It doesn't matter if we can't fight, we have Diancie and the others."

Su Qing crossed her arms and nodded, full of confidence that her son would one day reach the top of the trainer world.

"Besides, it's just that it can't fight or evolve. Aren't there plenty of ways to solve this kind of problem?"

Su Hao believed that with the power of the legendary Pokémon, there must be a way to cure Eevee.

For gene-related issues, you can go to the outskirts of Ordron to find Mew, or you can seek out Ho-Oh to help Eevee be reborn.

If that doesn't work, then I'll participate in scientific research to find a way to treat gene deletion.

Su Hao felt that since he had encountered Eevee, who was on the verge of death, and saved him, wasn't that a kind of fate?

He declared firmly, "I will subdue Ibrahimovic, and I will also completely cure his illness!"

Su Hao felt that he was just that kind of greedy person, wanting both goals.

Ye Yibu.

Chapter 304 Pokémon Acquired? daze

Eevee is the only surviving Pokémon rescued from the R Laboratory, and has received widespread attention.

Ibrahimovic would never have adopted a dog.

In order to prevent him from being persecuted a second time, the R Institute, which came upon hearing the news, is very likely to take action against Ibrahimovic and his adoptive parents.

Su Qing went to great lengths, using a lot of connections, and with Su Hao's own exceptional talent, she finally managed to complete the adoption procedures for Eevee.

However, if Su Hao were to abandon Eevee in the future because it is unable to battle, it would undoubtedly cast a shadow over his career as a trainer.

Hearing Su Hao's promise, Su Qing nodded with relief: "Okay, then go ahead."

Su Hao nodded and walked toward Eevee, who was still intently admiring the flowers in the flowerbed.

Ibrahimovic seemed unusually relaxed around him, and for a moment he didn’t even notice the footsteps approaching him from afar.

Ibu only noticed Su Hao when he walked into the flowerbed and slowly squatted down.

His small black nose sniffed the air, and a scent that Eevee knew all too well filled the air.

It's that person!

Su Hao pulled himself back from the abyss of death!
