Chapter 18: She Can Grow Up To Be A Beauty Like Gardevoir?
Li Wei roughly understood the current situation with Eevee’s body.
The organs inside a Pokémon’s body are distributed differently from humans, so there are ‘eight pieces of meat’ corresponding to ‘eight evolved attributes’, and the main hub is the Normal Type, like a system of trunk and branches.
Regarding this content, Li Wei finally understood thanks to his foundation from countless films.
But······
Looking at it this way, Eevee wasn’t the ‘exceptional talent’ the doctor mentioned.
There’s no such coincidental thing in this world.
The nine attributes corresponding to the nine parts inside the body perfectly combined in the optimal way—what are the odds of that?
And based on the premise that a normal Eevee wouldn’t have nine attributes at the same time, that probability needs to be reduced countless times.
Some Eevee might only have Normal Type talent, and any other attribute talents later need to be nurtured by the trainer, while some Eevee might have two or three attributes inside, from 0 to 9, which is another permutation and combination and multiplication problem.
Besides that, the most important point is ‘nine-type balance’ with no ‘weak subjects’ at all, a perfect nine-way split—what kind of outrageous low probability is that?
At this moment, he finally figured out why that laboratory was piled with so many corpses, why Eevee was lying bloodied and mangled on the experiment table.
This was a successful experiment product accumulated on thousands of corpses, a ‘talent’ shaped by piling up top resources snatched from the Magic City highway explosion.
Thinking of this, Li Wei couldn’t help sucking in a cold breath.
He didn’t dare to imagine further.
Why did they choose Eevee as the Pokémon for the experiment—had they tried other Pokémon before?
And what was that green light?
Could it be the same as Eevee? A research result piled up with lives in that bloody laboratory like a human inferno?
In this instant, Li Wei felt a bit regretful.
He regretted not stopping Gallade from letting those devil experimenters die so easily.
They should all be put on the experiment table, let them feel what retribution in this life is, feel what pain is.
The one who pulled him out of the Tsukuyomi world where he was tormenting the deceased experimenter was the doctor.
“Your Eevee is perfect in every way, but precisely because it’s too perfect, improper nurturing led to this problem.”
He walked to the window, stroking Dragonite’s chubby otaku head while continuing to talk to Li Wei about Eevee’s issues.
“What? Improper nurturing???”
Li Wei, who had just snapped back and almost blurted out ‘little bro, are you okay?’, barely swallowed the words, twitched his mouth, and his inner indignation was instantly replaced by this inexplicable blame.
“Yes! Calling it improper nurturing is already a compliment! A mere Eevee, why bother giving her essential oil treatments? Why feed her so many nutritional supplements? Does she think she can grow into a beauty like Gardevoir? Instead of wasting time on that, why not train her? With that talent, doing useless stuff!”
······
“That’s because she likes it······”, Li Wei subconsciously retorted.
“That’s because you’re a fool with too much money.”
But before Li Wei could finish retorting, the doctor shut him up speechless with one sentence.
“Such great talent, but instead of training, it’s all eating, drinking, and playing! Ending up spoiled leading to energy disorder inside—is that what a trainer should do?”
The doctor’s words cut to the heart, but Li Wei didn’t know how to refute.
Eevee was spoiled by his mother, but there was indeed some indulgence from him too.
After all······ he just thought this Eevee was pretty dumb, no future even with training, so he let her have a happy childhood······ nine-type flowering was just a pipe dream, he never expected this Eevee to actually make his fantasies real.
But from the doctor’s tone, her talent was top-notch, super impressive, seemed like not training wasn’t an option?
Staring at Eevee still sleeping soundly on the ground, Li Wei contemplated for a bit, then weakly asked the doctor,
“Um, what exactly is energy disorder?”
??
“I suggest you review properly, the knowledge in Chapter 3, Section 2 of Pokémon Abnormal Statuses, otherwise your written exam might be tough.”
······
“I’m one of the question setters.”
······
“Okay.”
After Li Wei silently swallowed, the doctor finally got back on topic and explained to Li Wei ‘what Pokémon energy disorder is’.
“This condition generally doesn’t appear in ordinary Pokémon. Energy disorder is more common in Pokémon like water-storing Charizard or electricity-storing Gyarados. It only happens when extremely conflicting energies appear in a Pokémon at the same time.”
“So my Eevee also······?”
“No.” The doctor rejected Li Wei’s question without thinking.
“In your Eevee, all energies are perfectly isolated by that green energy, each evenly distributed throughout the body, theoretically impossible to have energy disorder.”
“Then why the problem??”
“She passively absorbed too much energy, two types’ abilities far exceeding the other attribute energies, seriously disrupting the internal energy balance. The green mysterious energy in her body caused this ‘disorder phenomenon’ symptom to regulate the energy conflict.”
“So… strictly speaking, it’s a special symptom similar to ‘energy disorder’, caused by the green mysterious energy regulating the energy imbalance in Eevee’s body?”
“Yes.”
Li Wei had great reading comprehension and quickly understood the situation.
“Uh······ so which two energies were passively absorbed a lot?” Li Wei curiously asked next.
“Fire Type and Psychic Type.”
After the doctor named these two types’ energies, Li Wei sucked in a cold breath.
“Hiss······”
Ah this······
He got it, he understood, he figured it out!!
The thing that made Eevee passively absorb these two attribute energies—he was all too familiar.
Eevee’s favorite thing TOP1.
Sleeping in the sun.
Sunlight, which has both Psychic Attribute and Fire Attribute.
one one day, just know eat, eat after sleep, sleep after eat.
That’s it!
How could it not be a lot!!
As for why no Dark-type attribute energy was absorbed, that’s because he drew the curtains at night, otherwise the rioting disordered energy would have one more!
“So as long as her energy is balanced, this symptom can be avoided?”
“Yes, just make her train more every day instead of being lazy and gluttonous,” the doctor replied.
······
Li Wei kind of wanted to laugh.
This might be the legendary pitiful Pokémon—lazy and it has to spray water gun every day, too funny （ hilarious ）.
“But actually, there are other solutions.”
After thinking for a bit, the doctor continued to Li Wei.
“Hm??”
“Pick a nurturing direction and just evolve her.”
?!
“But doctor, isn’t that too early for Eevee? She’s still just a kid after all.”
It felt hasty to evolve an Eevee only two months old directly—at least reach ‘energy saturation’ first? And could his Eevee really evolve safely?
Hearing Li Wei’s words, the doctor scoffed disdainfully.
“I’ve never seen a young Pokémon with such strong attribute energies inside!” While answering, the doctor emphasized the word ‘young’.
“With her current internal energy trend, leave her be and in a few days she’ll evolve into a Sun Eevee for you.”
“Huh??”
A super cool Sun Eevee in a few days??
Honestly, Li Wei’s focus was always a bit odd.
“Her internal energy is already enough to support evolution, just touch a stone, or sunbathe a few more days, wait for a full moon, and she can evolve.”
The doctor’s tone was quite subtle, full of sourness and a bit of anger.
After analysis by super-smart Li Wei, the sourness was aimed at this Eevee, and the slight anger at him, the ‘irresponsible’ trainer.
But······ anger···· the doctor might also be angry that he didn’t have such good luck.
“Energy already meets evolution requirements······” After briefly zoning out, Li Wei suddenly realized.
Those nine attribute gems were top resources that could significantly boost Elite Four level Pokémon’s strength—no way they couldn’t support a Growth Period Eevee’s evolution.
“But during last week’s final physical examination, the doctor didn’t mention this!”
If he’d known this good news earlier, he wouldn’t have indulged Eevee!
Try early if eight-type evolution flowering is possible, if initial form can dominate—doesn’t that sound great??
Unfortunately, his focus then was only on ‘pitiful Eevee’, completely forgetting the extra benefits from the top resources in her body!!
Not letting this Eevee be an overlord in the arena—wouldn’t that be a waste?
Hate!
After hearing Li Wei’s question, the doctor disdainfully raised an eyebrow.
“Can those quack doctors compare to a doctor of my level?”
Awesome!
As a Purity possessor, this doctor indeed had the right to say that.
But with this logic shift, Li Wei thought, ‘Eevee got sick from happy otaku life, how is that his fault?’
“So it’s not this trainer’s fault!” Enlightened, Li Wei said confidently to the doctor.
Honestly, call him noob if you want, but don’t make stuff up!
After a reasoned review, Li Wei proved his innocence.
“Mm, not your fault.”
The doctor nodded, affirming his statement, but it felt somewhat perfunctory for some reason.
After brushing off Li Wei, he added, “So next time, definitely come to me for your Eevee’s regular checkups! I’m way more reliable than those quacks!”
·······
“Oh.”
“Definitely next time.”
This sudden turn left Li Wei with nothing to say but ‘oh’.
Felt like this uncle could recruit a lot of downlines if he did recommendations.
The doctor didn’t mind Li Wei’s perfunctory response.
He came today mainly entrusted by Li Yuan Sheng, and Li Yuan Sheng had hinted on the phone about this special Eevee.
Though not explicitly said what the problem was, after observing her condition and scanning her special energy divisions with Purity, he understood.
This was Anti-Matter organization’s handiwork.
Similar Pokémon had been found in other bases they wiped out before.
Unlike the surviving ‘defective products’ back then that had inverted attributes or inexplicably extra attribute abilities, this Eevee was a finished product.
Whether energy division or the organs occupied by corresponding energies, all perfectly matched this Pokémon.
But what was the Anti-Matter organization’s real purpose, using Pokémon abuse as a cover for this experiment?
Researching Pokémon attributes, making one Pokémon have multiple attributes—what benefit does that give their organization?
He didn’t know. Now, he needed to go back, record this Eevee’s info and follow-up observations, and notify the special agency’s upper levels, in case his friend’s son ran into big trouble.
“Anyway, if your Eevee has any issues, feel free to come find me.” Thinking this, the doctor instructed Li Wei.
Seeing Li Wei frowning, thinking he was worried, he pondered and added, “The League registration document states clearly in black and white: she’s just a malnourished Eevee rescued from a suspected ‘Anti-Matter Organization’ den. No need to worry.”
“Oh.”
Li Wei nodded, indicating he got the hint.
Honestly, the person his father recommended, no reason not to trust, and after his father saw Eevee’s weird state, no reason not to suspect that laboratory had issues.
Even if he said nothing, given the organization’s long black history plus his father’s imagination, guessing something wasn’t hard.
He didn’t know his father’s plans or purpose.
But a real dad might scam his son, but never harm him.
So after a moment of silence, Li Wei replied to the doctor, “I have a not-so-certain guess, but wait······ I’ll contact you then.”
“Good, contact me anytime if you need help.”
The doctor didn’t pry what Li Wei’s guess was, just reached into his clothes pocket, pulled out his mobile phone.
“WeChat scan to add friend.”
······
After adding friends, this Liu doctor put on his helmet and goggles again, was grabbed by Dragonite, and flew off.
Exit as strangely as entry.
Eevee’s issue temporarily had a solution, and for future evolution, Li Wei had his own ideas.
Continuing to send Dragonair to spar with Riolu, Li Wei woke Eevee and informed her of her grim future schedule.
“Yo, Eevee, congrats on waking up, surgery successful.”
“Bu Yi??”
“Good news: from today, no rest time, at least until your internal energy balances—no rest for you.”
Looking at Eevee still emitting green light, Li Wei tsked pityingly at her.
“Bu Yi?!!!”
“Let’s go, gym training!”
Without giving Eevee any choice, he grabbed her scruff, carried the little Eevee downstairs to the gym.
“Bu Yi!!!”
【I won’t move!!!】
At this moment, standing on the treadmill, Eevee made her final resistance.
“No choice then, no dinner today.”
“Bu Yi!”
【Not eating then!】
Seeing Eevee’s attitude, Li Wei fell silent, then two seconds later covered his face with both hands.
“Fine······· no training then.”
Tone very pained, voice seeming choked.
“Bu Yi??”
Σ(⊙▽⊙“
“You’re so disobedient, I can’t control you······”
“Maybe I don’t qualify as your trainer······ indeed, when bringing you home, didn’t ask your opinion, maybe you have someone else in your heart······”
Eevee had never seen this scene.
Though Li Wei covered his face tightly, sobbing and choking while speaking, every word came clearly to Eevee’s ears.
Eevee twitched her ears, her big eyes full of guilt.
She lowered her head, lifted her left front paw to look at her paw pad.
She wondered if she’d been too willful.
She hadn’t forgotten that day, but this sudden happiness made her selectively forget what once made her tremble.
Had she······ gone too far?
Pure as she was, she only learned ‘fear’ from the laboratory, ‘beauty’ and ‘friendship’ of this world from Li Wei’s comics.
Looking up at Li Wei covering his face, emanating sad aura, Eevee felt her chest hurt, like being cut open again.
Li Wei clearly saw Eevee’s every move through his fingers, seeing her actually reflecting, decided to add fuel.
“If you really don’t like me······ I can let you go to the one you like······”
“Bu Yi Bu Yi!”
【I’m not leaving!!】
Saying this, Eevee jumped up, pawed the treadmill switch on, using action to show her resolve.
“Good! Today’s goal: control your Normal Type power inside! Try to Quick Attack today~”
Li Wei instantly dropped his hands from his face, silently sped up Eevee’s treadmill, sat down nearby with back to her.
???
Watching Li Wei, Eevee felt something off, but whenever turning, his back shoulders trembled, the clear sad scent giving her guilt again.
【I did make him sad······】
【Am I too bad······ even thinking he’s faking······】
Thinking this, Eevee felt very guilty, decided to learn her lesson, be obedient from now on, strive to be a good Eevee Li Wei would like.
Though she wouldn’t say it outright, from the moment Li Wei carried her off the experiment table, she decided—she likes this person, wants to be with him, repay him!
Thinking this, Eevee madly pedaled her four short legs, ran hard, instinctively tried to mobilize and use Normal Type energy.
Reading ‘effort’ ‘guilt’ from Eevee’s aura, Li Wei covered his mouth laughing harder.
>ω<
Recalling high school desperate homework cramming, trying to make his aura look sadder, Li Wei claimed no one in the world understood training Pokémon better than him.
Model of teaching to the student’s aptitude—Li Wei Pokémon Nurturing Master!
