Chapter 12: The Balding Eevee With Dubious Iq
As a Pokémon fan who doesn’t miss out on any games, anime, or manga, Li Wei is unusually sensitive to certain keywords.
Both are evil organizations, both are laboratories, the previous Eevee that was experimented on can already bloom in three types in the Orange Islands arc.
Team Rocket, laboratory, Eevee that can freely evolve and devolve, blooming in water, fire, and electric types.
‘Anti-Matter’ organization, laboratory, large quantities of Eevee, missing Attribute Gems······
Li Wei isn’t very clear on the specific effects of Gems in this world, but the fact that only nine out of eighteen Gems have returned is quite thought-provoking.
Eevee has a total of eight evolution forms, plus the normal Eevee before evolution, which is exactly nine attributes.
Is it such a coincidence?
Based on the basic setting that Gems can enhance attribute abilities, this world’s Life Orb definitely isn’t something as simple as ordinary HP recovery; it might strengthen life force recovery, make life force more vigorous, and such things are definitely included.
Thinking about it this way, is there some exaggeration in this doctor’s evaluation of Eevee?
After all······
No one understands Eevee’s condition at that time better than him!!
Holding a lump of flesh in his hands that could fall apart at any moment—what kind of experience is that? Li Wei feels that no one in his Moments right now has more say than him.
Although he doesn’t have Moments now.
As a modern young man who doesn’t even dare to gut a fish on the cutting board, and screams in panic when watching his great-grandpa slaughter a chicken back home for New Year, Li Wei feels that the peak of his life was the moment in high school boarding school when he slapped a cockroach with a slipper.
As for saving Eevee this time, it was purely lard blinding his heart, as if aided by gods, blinded by anger, infected by emotion.
Picking up the blood-soaked Eevee and still thinking of ways to physically stop the bleeding, acting with clear thinking······
Wow, isn’t this the kind of genius in fantasy novels who is born with superior combat instinct?
Calming down now and recalling the scene, Li Wei can’t help but feel some lingering fear—how did he charge forward head-on??
Maybe it’s been too long since he’s had a girlfriend; he could even risk his life for a female Eevee.
At this point, Li Wei has gone so frenzied that he’s even teasing himself.
After a brief rant, Li Wei took a few deep breaths to calm his frantically pounding little heart.
To be honest, he really is scared.
He finally arrived in a new world, what if he had been split in two by a Ninjask’s clamp back then?
“Sigh.”
Li Wei sighed and began to continue thinking about things related to Eevee.
Following his earlier guess about the Life Orb, Li Wei recalled his father saying that the officials seized a large number of Life Orbs in that laboratory.
If it wasn’t for experimental needs, why would that laboratory have so many Life Orbs?
This stuff isn’t cheap on the market!
Even a low-grade one costs 100,000 bucks, and these high-grade Orbs are just casually placed like that?
Treating them like buying cabbages by the jin in winter and leaving them outside to freeze!
The more Li Wei thought about it, the more he felt there was something fishy, but considering this is a public place and speaking out might bring unwarranted disaster to this Eevee, he held back.
No matter what, the best thing now is that this Eevee survived.
What if he spoke too much and this Eevee gets locked back in a laboratory?
Perhaps the official and League’s formal laboratories won’t do anything cruel to her, but before the official researchers figure something out, this Eevee might just die in the laboratory.
If that’s really the case, it would’ve been better not to save her in the first place.
There’s a saying that goes right: without hope, there is no despair.
He doesn’t want Eevee to experience a huge ups and downs in her Pokémon life and respawn in place; that would be too awful.
Li Wei thinks simply and purely; with his lifetime of experience from countless films, he just wants Eevee to have a good family and a good place to go, or even return to nature and live freely, away from laboratories, living the life a normal Pokémon should.
So he’s prepared to keep this matter rotting in his stomach.
Destructive cells—this point is also very sensational.
Although he’s not very clear on its connection to Eevee, in the Pokémon World, related to cells, his mind is full of Z and Mewtwo.
And with ‘destructive cells’, Li Wei feels it’s definitely Mewtwo, no doubt.
Mewtwo is a Pokémon created by humans based on Mew’s genes.
Same villain organization, same Destruction Gene, same research violating Pokémon League rules.
This······ is the precursor to Mewtwo?
Li Wei is a bit confused.
But he can’t say this out loud either; he can only keep it in his heart like a secret for Eevee.
After all··· he doesn’t even know what he could say!
Tell his father, ‘I had a dream, dreamed that the ‘Anti-Matter’ organization is using Mew’s genes to research a Pokémon called ‘Mewtwo’! Hurry and lead the righteous League army to judge them!’
······
‘Get outta here.’
Li Wei couldn’t help but mock such an idea in his mind.
All he can do is push the waves when there’s related public opinion or events; as a Trainer with only a ‘Temporary’ license, Li Wei thinks clearly: the top priority is to go home, prepare for the exam, train Pokémon, and strive for the Trainer assessment.
As for anything else like world-saving heroes······
Save that for when he’s dreaming.
So Li Wei, who dreams of Pokémon, didn’t continue chatting with his father.
He picked up his mobile phone, opened the browser, and started searching for various things.
‘Anti-Matter organization’, ‘Attribute Gem effects’, ‘Life Orb specific usage methods’, and most importantly ‘how Temporary Trainers can legally adopt a second Pokémon’.
Saying on his mouth to return to freedom, Li Wei’s body is unusually honest.
After all, they’ve been through life and death together, so it’s inevitable to have emotions.
And coincidingly, the last search item by Li Wei was seen straight-on by his father, who was sitting beside trying to communicate with his own son but didn’t know what to say as an opening.
After pondering, Li Yuan Sheng made a decision.
“Son, I’m going out to make a few calls and handle some things; you stay here obediently. Once this IV drip is done, you can be discharged.”
Right before getting up to leave, he suddenly thought of something and added.
“That Eevee is said to be able to leave observation soon too. This Mime Jr. is one your mom Tian Lan specially contacted her grandmother’s connections for, airlifted over urgently for support—very skilled; as long as it participates in treatment, nothing can’t be cured on the same day.”
“Huh??”
Li Wei was a bit stunned, not reacting to the situation for a moment.
“Uh··· it’s like this, I forgot to tell you. Your mom didn’t hear clearly what happened at the time, only heard others say that both of us were taken in an ambulance, so she panicked, called home, the elders from both families got involved, and thus this Mime Jr. on standby in the central area was brought over.”
Li Yuan Sheng’s tone had some helplessness, but······ he still somewhat enjoyed the concern from his wife Tian Lan.
People are just like that.
Saying no on the mouth, but the body is extra honest.
Some people outwardly complain about their wife’s clumsiness, but when showing off affection, they don’t even spare their own son.
Grabbing a handful of cold dog food and stuffing it hard into others’ mouths.
“Uh······”
Clearly, Li Wei got shown off to.
He was rendered speechless by Li Yuan Sheng’s showing off, opened his mouth to say something, then closed it again.
Except for a ‘grass’, he had no idea what to say.
Li Yuan Sheng apparently showed off enough too, looking at his son dumb as a wooden chicken with a sense of satisfaction, preparing to go out for his fatherly behavior.
“Then I’ll head out first; you play with your phone for a bit.”
“Okay.”
‘Hurry and get lost, hurry and get lost!’
The moment Li Yuan Sheng left, Li Wei felt that as a single dog, the scent of this pure land was much nicer—no more sour stench, only the fresh disinfectant smell left.
If an ordinary commoner Trainer, whose immediate three generations of family have no Professional Level or above Trainers, and no Pokémon League ‘status’, wants to handle procedures to buy or adopt a second Pokémon just after getting ‘Temporary Trainer’ qualification, it’s undoubtedly very difficult.
The money involved might not be considered, but just the procedures, connections, appraisals, and such would take two months.
With that time, better to take the unified Trainee Trainer exam.
After all, once you get the Trainee Trainer qualification certificate, Trainers can legally hold three Pokémon, no need for such trouble.
And League laws are very strict; before getting the Trainee Pokémon qualification certificate, Trainers holding and raising unregistered Pokémon is equivalent to illegal.
Once reported or discovered, even if it’s just skirting the edge, you’ll get a warning; severe cases even lose Trainer qualification.
The strict legal regulations have their reasons.
The fundamental purpose is to stop impulsive spending by newcomers just entering the Trainer ranks.
After all, a Pokémon’s talent and potential might be innate, but powerful Pokémon mostly depend on post-natal education and nurturing.
To prevent immature Trainers just entering society from buying lots of Pokémon, then abandoning them if dissatisfied, causing a surge in stray Pokémon numbers and increased urban security pressure, the Pokémon League formulated related laws at its founding.
After a long time of washing······ compliance, this rule has long been ingrained.
When there’s no special need, people won’t buy lots of Pokémon without the Trainee qualification certificate; even Trainers with special situations prioritize adjustment or having Professional Trainers adopt on their behalf.
After all, unless your family has mines or connections hard enough to find someone willing to trouble themselves to report your application in the afternoon, most people don’t want to pay that nearly million over-limit rearing fine.
But obviously, Li Wei’s family······
Indeed has money when needed, power when needed.
Worried about how to soothe his son’s little heart and not knowing what to do, Li Yuan Sheng, who had just seen a Zhihu post and was preparing to buy a doll online to send to his son, finally found a way.
Just that Eevee.
Perfectly, that Eevee also got a physical examination during treatment.
Body healthy and safe, even blood samples and various body indicators are top-notch.
Far exceeding average Eevee indicators; keeping it for his son is not a loss at all.
Most importantly, it can also please his wife a wave, multi-nice yo.
They’ve been arguing for a month over whether their son should go Trainer or Coordinator path.
Already a month without sleeping with his wife; perfect, an Eevee came!!
With this cute thing Eevee, isn’t the Beginner Grand Festival a piece of cake?
His son now has a Pokémon suspected of participating in Grand Festival; his wife won’t be mad at him anymore, right?
Sigh, handsome people are favored by the heavens~
Sleepy and a pillow is delivered yo.
Saying that, Li Yuan Sheng walked to the hospital corridor, looked around, took out his mobile phone, and dialed a number.
“Hello? I have something I want to trouble you with·····”
￥￥￥￥￥￥
When Li Yuan Sheng returned, he found his son had nearly pressed his face against the glass.
At this time, Li Wei had finished his IV drip; even the plaster cast on his arm was removed. He was completely like a healthy person, able to move freely.
Inside the glass, Eevee had also woken up and was currently undergoing the final physical examination.
Following behind Li Yuan Sheng was the hospital director, holding documents in hand, checking while saying something to Li Yuan Sheng.
“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll go confirm her physical condition with them; if no issues, you can handle discharge soon.”
After the director finished, he hurriedly put on a mask and disposable gloves, disinfected himself at the door, then personally took over Eevee’s physical examination.
Finally ending with Mime Jr.’s Heal Pulse, Eevee was pushed out sitting on a small hospital bed.
“Bu Yi!!”
Once finally pushed out, Eevee pounced onto Li Wei, letting out a joyful cry while frantically wagging her nearly half-bald tail.
“Pack up and take your Eevee home together.”
Li Yuan Sheng looked at the embracing Eevee and Li Wei with a headache, coughed lightly twice to attract his son’s attention, then said to Li Wei.
“Huh??”
Go home together? My Eevee??
“Huh what huh? Can’t understand human speech? Go home together.”
!!!!!!
“Thanks, Dad!!!”
“Mm, knowing to thank me is good. Study well, don’t fail the written exam at the end; I can’t afford to lose face.”
Seemingly Li Wei’s silly dog-like gaze contained too piercing sincerity, Li Yuan Sheng directly pressed his silly son’s head, greeted the director, took the pre-prepared documents and certificate from him, grabbed Li Wei by the scruff of the neck, and left.
To be honest, in this world, humans have extra Grass Resistance.
Bruises and injuries aren’t an issue; just ordinary IV drip, get a number, find a pink technician for a set of Heal Pulse, Prayer, and such skills, done.
Li Wei’s pure Aura overuse fatigue, excessive fright, and right arm fracture—sleep it off, plaster cast to fix, then any Chansey can cure it; not worth attention.
Eevee’s condition looked terrifying, but because of ‘timely rescue’ and Pokémon skills sustaining, after escaping death’s danger, even the nearly fallen flesh was re-‘stuck’ in follow-up auxiliary treatment.
Very fantastical, very Pokémon.
In the back seat, Li Wei couldn’t control his two hands at all.
Scratch Eevee’s chin, stroke her back fur—so reluctant to let go.
Riolu’s Egg was just bought and not yet played with when big trouble hit; so now properly rua Eevee a bit to recoup, not too much, right?
Now in the aftermath of a disaster, Li Wei can confidently ‘criticize’ and tease Eevee’s appearance.
Nearly unrecognizable heart-shaped tail, fur on body shaved bald in varying scales for wound disinfection and suturing, looking like chewed by a dog, patchy bald spots quite comical.
If not for the few bandages still on Eevee, Li Wei would really unhesitatingly mock her.
Buy a small piece of clothes for her to wear when home; otherwise, taking her out······ too embarrassing, hahahaha.
Even just imagining in his mind taking the patchy bald Eevee out, Li Wei finds it hilarious.
Of course, Eevee has no idea of his ‘disdain’ in his heart; being with Li Wei, she’s simply very happy.
After the hospital’s full examination, the doctor estimated Eevee is about 35 days post-birth, approximate birth date February 25.
Perhaps due to staying in the black-hearted laboratory, poor nutrition and oppressive environment led to innate small size, but as an Eevee, she still has room for secondary growth; follow-up nutrition will be fine.
Without Li Yuan Sheng watching, Eevee is practically a live treasure.
Completely without the previous timidity in the hospital monitoring room; now she’s climbing up Li Wei’s clothes.
After a segment of climbing, Eevee finally locked her target on Li Wei’s shoulder.
Head on Li Wei’s left shoulder, butt skewed on the right shoulder, sprawled out long there showing a very enjoying expression.
The fluffy sensation on his neck felt great to Li Wei; in early spring, an extra scarf is indeed warm.
But······ he thinks this scarf is ugly!
So when getting out of the car, upholding the principle of not losing face, Li Wei still picked Eevee down and held her in his arms.
And poor Eevee doesn’t understand Li Wei’s thoughts.
She just thinks it’s a friendly gesture, frantically rubbing against Li Wei, even rolling in his arms.
Seeing Eevee like this, Li Wei always feels this Eevee’s future is worrying.
What unlimited potential, what far exceeding normal Eevee level.
Forget it.
Abandon the laboratory guesses, whatever nine types blooming free evolution.
With this Eevee’s intelligence, probably a fool, the kind embarrassing in matches.
Thus Li Wei decides to continue observing later if this Eevee can be nurtured.
During recovery period······
At least before Eevee is away from patchy bald, Li Wei isn’t planning to ‘train’ this Eevee as combat power.
His nowhere-to-place strength from a world top Trainer should manifest on his Riolu worth a Magic City property set!
Indeed, men shouldn’t put all eggs in one basket.
Cast a wide net, that’s true romance.
Back home, after a warm hug from Mom and a knuckle rap, Li Wei finally ate his first meal since transmigrating here.
To be honest, Mime Jr.’s cooking is so fragrant!
Similar to Li Wei’s wolfing down was the intelligence-worrying patchy bald little Eevee.
Li Wei and Eevee, in nearly matching style, buried heads in rice bowls, chomping away with rice grains on faces without wiping.
And coincidingly, this scene was perfectly captured by the spectating Mime Jr. nearby.
Immediately after, this photo went to Mom’s Moments.
Soon it spread in the aunts and relatives’ group chats.
‘Sigh~ Tian Lan, your son eats so plainly! So easy to feed! I’m even envious!’
Attached image: a Snorlax frenziedly eating.
owo, wuwah, accidentally a bit much.
That’s it then.
