I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

Page 81

Ash and Pikachu were both surprised, not expecting Pikachu's base stats to be higher than a regular Pikachu's.

"Whether it's high or not, we can find out with a simple test. We have Pikachu's basic data here, would you like to give it a try?" Blaine suggested.

"Okay, then Pikachu, let's test it out." Ash seemed quite interested.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu didn't mind testing it out.

"Then come in with me."

Blaine led everyone into the room where the three Eevee were.

"Bah!"

"Bah!"

"Bah!"

When the three Eevee saw someone come in, they all curiously gathered around. They usually stayed in the research institute, and they were very curious to see people coming from outside.

"Bue-ee." An Eevee approached Pikachu, as if asking who Pikachu was.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu answered Eevee's question as if introducing itself, and then Pikachu and Eevee huddled together to chat.

Xiao Mao took everything in. As expected of an elf succubus, she had attracted the attention of an Eevee as soon as she entered the room.

"Bah!"

As Shigeru was watching Ash's situation, he heard a cry from below. Looking down, he saw an Eevee at his feet.

【LV30 Eevee♂/Near Legendary】

This is a near-legendary Eevee, and Gary really wants to take it with him, but Blaine definitely knows the value of these three Eevees and won't give them away easily.

After all, Blaine is also a trainer. Eevee can evolve into Flareon, so Blaine will most likely evolve the strongest of his three Eevee into Flareon.

"Hello, Ibuk."

Shigeru crouched down and stroked Eevee's fluffy body. Having raised Eevee before, Shigeru knew the best way to groom Eevee's fur.

Chapter 114: The Special Eevee

“Buyi”.

Ibrahimovic had a look of pure enjoyment on his face.

Because they needed to test Ash's Pikachu's base stats, Blaine had the other researchers show them around the Pokémon in the lab.

“Ash, why don’t you take the others to see the elves in the research institute?” Blaine said.

"Okay, everyone, please follow me." Ashi led the group out.

Xiao Mao also planned to go and see the other Pokémon in the research institute, but the next second, the Eevee that was following Xiao Mao jumped up from Xiao Mao's thigh and onto his shoulder.

"What? Do you want to come along?" Xiao Mao asked.

"Bah!"

Ibu nodded obediently.

"Can Eevee come along for the tour?" Shigeru asked Shigeru when he saw that Eevee wanted to come along.

“Of course, this Eevee seems to really like you,” Ash said. He was in charge of taking care of the Pokémon in the research institute and knew the three Eevee personalities well.

"Is that so?" Shigeru patted Eevee's head on his shoulder. Although the little guy liked him a lot, it was no use; he couldn't take it with him.

"Come on, let me show you around."

Shiki led Shigeru and the others on a tour of the research institute's Pokémon collection. The institute had a large number of Pokémon, with over thirty different species, mostly Fire and Ground type Pokémon.

These elves have all undergone genetic modification, which was done when they were still elf eggs, or even when their parents were born.

Xiao Shigeru didn't know what method the Crimson Lotus Research Institute used, but the Pokémon born in the institute all had high potential, with the worst being at least Gym Leader level.

While some master breeders can achieve this, for a master breeder to breed a high-potential Pokémon, the Pokémon's parents must be of exceptional quality.

The Pokémon born at the Crimson Lab all had parents with mediocre potential, at most elite or gym leader potential, none of them possessing more than gym leader potential.

Shigeru also learned from Shigeru that Blaine's wish was for there to be no weak Pokémon in the world, and for every weak Pokémon to have the potential to become stronger. Therefore, Blaine did not care about the strength of Pokémon, but wanted all Pokémon to have the opportunity to become stronger.

It must be said that Chaper's wish was great.

Other researchers all want to study powerful Pokémon. Researchers like Blaine who can treat everyone equally (CIEC) are rare. Most researchers, in the later stages, will aspire to study legendary Pokémon.

Legendary spirits were considered equivalent to gods in ancient times, and those who conducted scientific research would ultimately focus on legendary spirits. Even Blaine was no exception, and he participated in the data theory of artificial spirits.

Later, Dr. Fuji took all the artificial Pokémon technology documents from the Crimson Labs with him; otherwise, Dr. Fuji alone might not have been able to create Mewtwo.

"Alright, we can go back now." There weren't many Pokémon in the research institute, and the tour was completed in half an hour. Ash was ready to lead everyone back.

"Mr. Shigeru, do the Pokémon at the Crimson Lotus Research Institute sell to the public?" Shigeru asked.

In Xiao Shi's opinion, the Crimson Lab has too few Pokémon. The main reason is that the Crimson Lab has existed for so many years, so it must have some profitable projects. Otherwise, without funding, it can't generate electricity just by relying on passion.

"Of course we sell them, but they're very expensive. Which Pokémon has Mr. Shigeru taken a fancy to?" Shigeru asked enthusiastically.

Xiao Mao was just asking casually, but he didn't expect A Shi to be so enthusiastic. It's clear that the Red Lotus Research Institute is short of money right now. After all, Xia Bo was forced to open a bed and breakfast to make money, so he must be short of research funds.

"How much is this Eevee?" Shigeru pointed to the Eevee on his shoulder. The little guy had been lying there the whole way without complaining about the discomfort.

“This Eevee is not for sale; it’s defective,” Ash said.

"What! It's a defective product?"

"No way, he looks very healthy."

"That part is defective."

Xiao Mao and the others couldn't see anything wrong with this Ibu; it looked perfectly healthy.

“This Eevee has higher base stats than its kind, but it can’t evolve,” Ash said.

"Unable to evolve?"

"real or fake?"

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were both incredulous; this was the first time they'd encountered something like this.

Even Sabrina was very curious about Eevee's condition.

"Boohoo! Boohoo!" Eevee complained loudly when Ashi pointed out its shortcomings.

"Quiet down. So what if you can't evolve? It doesn't mean you can't become stronger," Xiao Mao reassured him.

"Eee!" Only after hearing Shigeru speak up for him did Eevee calm down.

Shigeru then asked, "Mr. Shigeru, could you explain in detail why Eevee can't evolve?"

“The genes in the enhanced Eevee are relatively more stable, and evolution stones cannot stimulate Eevee’s cells. Even Espeon and Umbreon, which do not require evolution stones, have not evolved yet. The specific situation is not clear and is under investigation,” Ash said.

"Can Eevee be sold? I'd like to try breeding it," said Gary.

Even if this Eevee can't evolve, with its near-legendary potential, as long as it reaches the near-legendary level, it can still defeat champion-level Pokémon, making it still worth raising.

“I can’t make that decision. Mr. Xiao Mao, you should ask your teacher yourself,” said A Shi.

After all, the Crimson Lotus Research Institute never sells defective Pokémon to the public; that would ruin their reputation.

"Okay, let's go back then."

Shigeru and the others quickened their pace and returned to Ibu's laboratory.

Blaine has finished testing Ash's Pikachu.

"You're back." Ash's face was beaming with joy when he saw Gary and the others, which showed that Pikachu's test results must have been very good.

"Tell me, what were the test results for Pikachu?" Shigeru asked directly.

"Fantastic! It's completely beyond the normal Pikachu species, and this Pikachu's capacitance is also very wide, its body's energy storage is almost comparable to Electabuzz." Before Ash could answer, Blaine answered for him.

"That's right, that's it. My Pikachu is really amazing," Ash said proudly.

"Ash, did you catch your Pikachu in the wild?" Blaine asked.

"No, Pikachu is a Pokémon I got from Professor Oak; it's my first Pokémon," Gary said.

"Received from Professor Oak... Could it be that Professor Oak has also started researching Pokémon genes?" Blaine said, then looked at Gary.

"That shouldn't be the case. This Pikachu was also caught in the forest near Pallet Town, and the tests at the time showed nothing abnormal. It must have had some kind of adventure on its own," said Gary.

Chapter 115: Buying Ibrahimovic

"A serendipitous encounter?" Ash stroked his chin, looked at Pikachu beside him, and asked, "Pikachu, have you had any serendipitous encounters?"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu shook its head decisively. It originally lived in the forest, and after evolving into Pikachu, it was captured by Professor Oak and became Ash's Pikachu.

“A normal Pikachu would never have such a high battery capacity. Professor Oak should be able to detect it.” Blaine shook his head. He didn’t believe that Professor Oak would make a mistake in his test.

If there were errors in the physical fitness data, Blair could still believe it, but the battery capacity couldn't lie; a simple test could tell you the approximate battery level.

"I suspect it's related to the lightning strike," Xiao Mao said.

"Thunder!"

"Xiao Mao, do you know?"

Everyone was startled and turned to look at Xiao Mao.

"I didn't know that at first, but I encountered an Electabuzz in Azure City. It was still an Electabuzz at the time and was absorbing lightning strikes. It was too greedy. One lightning strike wasn't enough, so it absorbed three at once. But its body couldn't handle it. It only survived by evolving into an Electabuzz at the last moment."

"After that, I captured that Electabuzz. My tests showed that its electrical capacity was almost half again as much as a normal Electabuzz."

Shigeru personally tested Electabuzz's electricity, and it definitely exceeded the average value for Electabuzz.

"So, Pikachu was indeed struck by lightning," Ash said.

"Is that so? It seems that when Electric-type Pokémon are struck by lightning with massive energy, both their species and capacitance are enhanced," Blaine pondered.

"Although this method is feasible, it is very dangerous. It will put the Pokémon into a state of suspended animation, and if it does not receive timely treatment, it may die," Xiao Shi warned.

"Yes, Pikachu was seriously injured at the time," Ash said.

"It seems there are risks involved, but it's alright, we can test it slowly." Blair didn't care about that; every experiment comes with risks, as long as the risks are minimized.
