Pokémon: Just won the championship, the newbie growth system is here!

"Tianci, the Jewel Pokémon, is hailed as the most beautiful in the world for its shimmering pink body."

"It's so beautiful."

Xiaozhi exclaimed in admiration as she looked at the sleeping Pokémon in the petri dish. It was the first time she had ever seen such a sparkling Pokémon.

But why are Diancie and Scrambler in Team Rocket's abandoned base? You can't rely on rookie trainers.

Ye Luo rummaged through the computer in the research lab, searching for any possible clues.

"Tsk, a password is required."

The sudden bottleneck he encountered left him speechless. These Team Rocket members were quite clever; they had encrypted the most important intelligence.

"Roughly estimated, the three Pokémon in the petri dish have been dormant at Team Rocket's base for at least ten years."

Releasing them rashly would be too hasty, so Ye Luo decided to gather more information before making a decision.

However, the Rockets' computers were locked with a six-digit password that needed to be cracked.

Ye Luo entered the password on the screen.

[123456]

[Error! You can enter 3 more times.]

Ye Luo couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement once more; there was a limit to the number of times it could be used.

"We've already searched the house, but there's no clue about the password at all. This is a problem."

There are still three chances to guess blindly. Do you want to take a gamble?

Rockets, Rockets.

[Rocket]

[Error! You can enter 2 more times.]

"That's not right either."

Ye Luo had already entered the most likely words she could think of, but still couldn't guess correctly.

There are other methods you can try.

"Little Ori, can you summon the Gastly you just caught?"

"Yes, of course, no problem. Come out, Gastly."

Xiaozhi threw out a Poké Ball, and the Gastly that was summoned looked completely bewildered, even trying to escape through the wall.

How could it possibly escape? A terrifying gaze rendered Gastly immobile, and Umbreon's "Black Gaze" prevented it from making any escape attempt.

Ye Luo, wearing the Friendship Earring, asked Gastly.

"Don't be so scared. I just want to ask if you know the password for this computer?"

It's unlikely that a Pokémon would remember this, but even if there's only a small chance, Ye Luo intends to ask.

"Eee~Eee~ (I don't know)."

Gastly shook its head vigorously, and Leaf Fall sighed.

"It's normal not to know, Umbreon."

Hearing Ye Luo's call, Umbreon closed its bright eyes, and Gastly regained its mobility and tried to escape through the wall.

"Don't run away! You're my Pokémon now!"

Xiaozhi was in a hurry to catch the Gastly that was trying to escape, and she needed time to communicate with the Pokémon that had been forcibly captured.

Ye Luo seemed to have run out of options and stood up from beside the computer.

"Xiao Zhi, could you please keep watch outside?"

"Okay, but why?"

Ye Luo smiled gently at her and said.

"It's better not to ask about some things; it's embarrassing."

"....."

When Xiaozhi saw that smile, she felt her brain freeze. She didn't hear what Ye Luo said for a moment, and was half-pushed and blasted away.

Umbreon also came out; it would disturb the environment inside, and also keep an eye on Little Kiki.

Adults all have their own secrets, and Ye Luo is right, he really is a little embarrassed.

The lab had been emptied of everyone except him, who took out a harmonica from his pocket.

"Having exhausted all other options, this is the only method we can use. Is Meloetta ready?"

[Hmm~.]

Meloeta nodded happily, preparing to sing the prelude.

As mentioned before, Meloetta and Primarina are both music-type Pokémon. During their journey, Leaf collected many sheet music scores, some of which were quite special.

It is called an "ancient melody" and has magical effects.

Ye Luo gently played the starting note on the harmonica, following the melody of Meloetta.

Ethereal music echoed throughout the research institute, with the instruments and Pokémon's voices resonating in harmony.

Meloeta gracefully sang a wondrous melody, as if turning time and space back to an old chapter of the past.

【Ancient Melody, Spiritual Melody, Narrative of Time and Space】, the melody of Meloetta transforms into an understandable tune as the leaves fall and the ears resonate.

The past, present, and future are intertwined, yet we can only stand in one place.

The past will be paved into roads, and transformed into poems of the present.

Only the spirit can carry us through the past.

As the melody of Meloeta plays, the surrounding scenery begins to change, as if time is flowing rapidly in the opposite direction.

The speed of change is so fast that it cannot be grasped by human eyes alone; it can only be experienced through the spirit of the performer and Meloetta.

To put it simply, it's like seeing fragments of past events in this space in your mind, and then knowing exactly what happened.

The rewind time can be controlled to a specific point in the past. Once the point is selected, playback will begin to move forward. In a short period of time, Ye Luo and Meloetta will see illusions of the past as if they were physical images.

What Ye Luo is seeing now is what happened ten years ago.

...

A researcher dressed in white, with disheveled hair, was writing a report in front of a computer, his smile revealing a hint of madness.

It is possible to artificially control and force the awakening of Pokémon's power.

The experimental equipment originated from the Unova region and was invented by the mad scientist Acroma. It was then modified by Team Rocket's advanced scientists in an attempt to test the effectiveness of the experiment.

The samples currently being used are small diamond fragments captured during excavation at the foot of Mount Tsukimi.

Using a power awakening device and human intervention, we attempted to awaken greater power in ordinary small diamonds.

Imagine if even small diamonds can become powerful combatants, then Rattata, Pidgey, and those ubiquitous but weak Pokémon would be the same.

Then our ambition to conquer the world is within reach, and we have already achieved initial results.

Under the influence of the Wedge of Change, the potential of the small diamonds was unleashed. Although it was only for a moment, what was delightful was that, perhaps due to an element of luck, the genetic molecules of one of the individuals underwent a permanent change.

The researchers wore maniacal smiles as they wrote down the data, as if they were plotting some kind of major upheaval.

If headquarters gives me a little more time, I'm sure I can produce great results. I won't leave this lab until those results are complete.

...

The leaves fell, the music stopped, and Meloeta's song came to an end. He had glimpsed a glimpse of the past, which made one smile bitterly.

"Whatever this researcher intended to study, unfortunately, he will never see the light of day again."

As a result, this mad scientist, who wouldn't leave the lab until the research was complete, ignored Team Rocket's order to evacuate and continued his research in the lab until the very last moment.

It's hard to say what will happen in the end. There's a rumor that Ghost-type Pokémon are formed from souls.

Ye Luo felt perhaps somewhat fortunate; it was better not to tell anyone about such important research data.

He took a chocolate chip cookie out of his backpack to reward Meloeta for her hard work and gave instructions.

"Umbreon, destroy that computer."

Luna Eevee opened its mouth and condensed a black Shadow Ball.

"Aww~!"

Several Shadow Balls hurtled towards the computer, destroying the last remnants of Team Rocket's base and damaging three petri dishes in the process.

The glass shattered, and Little Diamond and Diancie fell out of the solution. They were only able to open their eyes groggily and look at their surroundings after being hit.

Diancie: "Chirp~ (Where is this?)"

"This Diancie can't communicate telepathically? No wonder, since it was originally just a small diamond. You're all safe now, so don't worry."

But it doesn't matter now, Ye Luo has a translator earring.

Diancie looked somewhat frightened when she saw the human shadow in front of her.

Ye Luo called on Xiao Zhi to rescue the three Pokémon from the Team Rocket ruins.
