: Jealous Eevee and the Unhatched Pokémon Egg

Then I go?

The old man in front of me was wearing the same white coat as Wei Xin. His hair was gray, and his face was covered with wrinkles like the clothes a college student had dried, with age spots all over it. He was hunched over and was using a cane.

Wei Xin speculated that he was probably an old professor at the research center.

The old professor raised his cane, tapped the ground twice, and turned around shakily.

"My name is Li Yunyi, and I'm the head of this research base. Just call me Professor Li. Since you're here, come and help out. One of your senior students made a mistake and released all the Pokémon the school provided for the students. They're running rampant all over the mountains and forests now. Sigh, you college students..."

As he walked, Li Yunyi sighed.

"We still haven't figured out anything about the Pokémon eggs that came in last time, and there's the research on the Energy Cubes, and those students at the research center who are good for nothing, eat everything, know nothing, and can only go 'ahhhhh!' ahhhhh!"

The thought of the group of students the school had left him made Li Yunyi stomp his feet in anger.

Startled, Wei Xin silently hugged Ibu tightly in his arms.

Whose lazy monkey has evolved into a fiery monkey?

Li Yunyi suddenly turned around, pointing his cane at Wei Xin's face.

"I'm warning you, once you're in my research institute, you're my student. You have to work hard, do research, and write papers. Don't even think about slacking off, getting a degree and leaving. Even if your parents and the college have all the same idea, it won't work."

Huh? I'm an orphan? There's only one page on my household registration book.

Did they appear to you in your dreams?

They suddenly started loving me after they died?

That's utter nonsense.

Wei Xin remembers being abandoned by his parents at an orphanage. In other words, he was abandoned. Now that his life is about to start to improve, the two of them are trying to make their presence known.

Could it be that they're short of money down there? Are they expecting me to burn some paper money for them every year during Qingming Festival?

That's impossible. I wouldn't even bother putting a little sand on their graves.

Hmm, something seems off.

Wei Xin held Eevee in his arms, scratched his head, and Eevee stretched out its paw and tugged at his sleeve. Wei Xin suddenly realized what was going on.

It seems Professor Li has confused me with the students who came to register today.

"Hmm? Is there anything you want to say?" Li Yunyi asked.

"The Pokémon egg won't hatch. Teacher, have you tried using a Talonflame to hatch it?" Wei Xin asked.

The professor was furious. To prevent the other person from being so ashamed after learning the truth that he would dig a pyramid with his feet and bury himself, turning from a fiery monkey into a reclusive monkey, Wei Xin decided to wait until the professor calmed down and find a suitable opportunity to tell him the truth.

"Flame Body trait, huh? You think I didn't think of that? I've already tried it, it's useless." Li Yunyi said disdainfully, turned around, and continued forward with Wei Xin.

"Could it be the egg of some rare Pokémon, like Riolu? Some Riolus only hatch when there is an Aura Maker nearby."

Aura users are trainers who can sense and control the power called aura. Ash Ketchum in the original series is an aura user.

"A waveguide messenger? Like Chen Shixing, the master of the Wudang Mountain psychic-type dojo? That's definitely an idea."

Wudang Mountain, Chen Shixing? That master who made us believe in science and then flew away? He actually became the head of a superpowered dojo?

Has even Master Chen finally decided to stop being human?

Wei Xin added, "There are also some special, legendary Pokémon that can only hatch in specific locations after fulfilling specific rituals."

"Legendary Pokémon is another approach," the old professor nodded, agreeing with Wei Xin's view.

Perhaps he should go to the library to find some ancient books, or find some experts who specialize in Pokémon legends. He suddenly remembered that the foreign teacher that Magic University planned to invite seemed to be a Pokémon legend enthusiast.

"As expected of someone from the Aether Foundation, you are very knowledgeable. In that case, I will have someone take you to the incubation room later to see that Pokémon egg. You can try to figure it out."

"Huh?" Wei Xin was a little reluctant. He just wanted to meet his starter Pokémon as soon as possible. He looked at the Eevee in his arms.

Sensing her gaze, Eevee raised its head and affectionately rubbed against Wei Xin's neck, its fluffy tail wagging excitedly from side to side. What had just happened made it completely fond of the trainer in front of it.

The research institute is scary, the other Pokémon are scary, but there are trainers there, so it's not scary.

Trainers are the best.

"Why is your Eevee still sucking on people? Be gentle, it's almost leaving marks." Wei Xin pinched the face of the Eevee that was pressed against his arm.

Ibu is so cute, why not just kidnap him/her?

"I won't let you work for nothing. I'll give you some extra credits, and if you can solve the problem, I'll apply for some scholarships for you... It seems you don't lack the money, and I have two graduate student spots under my supervision..."

"A scholarship will do," Wei Xin agreed without hesitation.

He originally wanted to refuse, but the professor offered too much, since raising a child in the future would require a lot of money.

Every little bit helps.

As for graduate students, he plans to become a trainer, so he intends to focus his main energy on his Pokémon.

Before long, the two finally reached the top of the mountain, where they happened to meet a senior student in a white coat, dragging a large bag of Pokémon Balls, with a Mimikyu following at her feet.

"Huang Ya-xuan, have you caught all the escaped Pokémon?" the professor asked as he stepped forward.

Upon hearing the voice, the senior student named Huang Yaxuan turned around, saw who it was, took a step back, and said respectfully, "They've all been caught, Teacher Li, thanks to Mimiqiu."

"Well done, little thing. No wonder it's a Pokémon trained by our research center."

Huang Ya-xuan: "..."

Actually, Mimikyu was a very insecure child at first, but her personality changed drastically after she returned to the research institute after participating in the exam battle.

It has little to do with our research center.

And because it lacks research value, you always say it's useless.

Thinking of the professor's temper, she could only force a helpless smile.

"You're right."

Mimikyu ignored the old professor. Sensing a familiar presence, as if by telepathy, Mimikyu turned its head and met Wei Xin's eyes, who was carrying Eevee.

"Long time no see, little one."

Wei Xin recognized the Mimikyu at a glance; he never expected to meet it again in the lab. He could only say that fate was truly wondrous. He smiled and waved.

Why don't we just kidnap Mimichiu too?

Mimikyu's two small black eyes curved into crescent moons. After excitedly jumping around twice, it leaped and pounced on him.

"mound!"

"Eevee!"

Someone wants to compete with me for my affections? Ibrahimovic's face darkened.

"Hey wait a minute, Eevee, it's one of us."

Feeling the force coming from his shoulder, Wei Xin quickly called out to stop it and even tried to grab Ibrahimovic's tail, but it was too late.

"Eevee!!!"

Eevee roared and used Quick Attack, transforming into a streak of brown light. The fluffy hair on its tail slipped from Wei Xin's fingertips, and it rammed the unsuspecting Mimikyu away. Then, its body spun in the air and landed steadily on Wei Xin's shoulder.

The movements were extremely elegant, even nine-tenths so.

Mimikyu flew five meters away. Because of Wei Xin's words, Ibu's jealousy intensified, and he rammed into it with even greater force.

"Bu lue lue~"

Eevee stuck out its tongue at Mimikyu, who was slowly getting up.

They're attacking their own people.

She and her trainer are the best of friends in the world.

Other Pokémon are all scheming little devils, unlike her, she only cares about her trainers.

"No, Ibu, it's wrong to do something you know you're doing."

Wei Xin put Ibrahimovic on the ground and sternly reprimanded him.

Although he likes Pokémon very much and can tolerate some of their behaviors, it doesn't mean he will spoil them endlessly.

Right is right, and wrong is wrong. Right and wrong should not be distorted by personal feelings.

"Booboo~" Booboo sat on the grass, looking at Wei Xin with teary eyes.

Ibrahimovic used the "feel pitiful" act.

"Go apologize to Mimikyu."

Wei Xin's defining characteristic is his impartiality and impartiality, making him immune to Ibrahimovic's feigned pitifulness.

"Boo~"

You actually yelled at me because of a Pokémon I just met.

Is it possible that you are the one who came later?

That trainer is such a big idiot.

Ibrahimovic stomped his hind legs hard on the ground and ran back to the research center without looking back.

"Mimi?" Mimikyu moved to Wei Xin's feet and stretched out its little black paws to tug at Wei Xin's trouser leg.

Because it was a Ghost-type Pokémon, Eevee's Quick Attack did not harm it.

Did I do something wrong again?

Mimiqiu felt somewhat guilty.

"Of course it's not your fault!" Wei Xin patted Mimiqiu's head.

Although Mimikyu's rampage in the battle exam fostered its confidence, its tendency to reflect on its own actions before facing problems is not conducive to the growth of a well-behaved child like Mimikyu.

It is easy to fall into serious mental exhaustion, which can even lead to depression.

A good child is not necessarily good for the child.

It needs to be corrected.

Thinking of this, Wei Xin picked up the Mimi Qiu.

"Today I'll tell you another principle: when you encounter a problem, first consider whether someone else has made a mistake. Rather than making things difficult for yourself, it's better to make things difficult for others, understand?"

Trainers are also educators. Teaching according to aptitude, identifying and filling gaps in knowledge, and maximizing strengths while minimizing weaknesses are essential skills. Although this principle is very simple, many parents who have raised children and teachers who have taught students do not understand it.

Hearing Wei Xin whispering his plans into Mimiqiu's ear, the professors and female students watching had three question marks above their heads, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears.

Mimikyu isn't some rascal panda, how can you raise a child like this?

"Qiu!" Mimi Qiu gave Wei Xin a thumbs up.

Got it. I'll find some time to go to the research institute and beat up all the Pokémon that don't listen to me.

The other two were startled.

Oh no, the obedient blonde princess is about to turn into a blond delinquent.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Wei Xin turned to look at the other two, his face innocent.

"It's nothing."

The old professor did not refute Wei Xin. Most of the people at the research center were clerical staff who were only good at researching Pokémon, organizing data, and conducting experiments.

They only know how to raise Pokémon by following the prescribed procedures; without the instruction manual, they are completely clueless.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have accidentally scared all the baby Pokémon into fleeing from the research center.

They are not trainers, and their knowledge of Pokémon education and training is at least superficial.

I strike hard in academia, but I'm ignorant in the field of education.

"Lunch probably isn't ready yet. You guys should settle the Pokémon in first."

As he spoke, the old professor rubbed his aching lower back, which was sore from old age.

"Professor, is your back hurting again?" The senior student quickly stepped forward to help him. "I'll go get the jelly egg."

"It's alright, some painkillers will do. After you're settled, take Lillie to the incubation room and wait for me."

After saying that, the old professor shook off the female student's hand, supported his waist, and left.

"You're Lillie? Judging from your name, I thought you were a girl?"

After the professor left, the senior student turned around and asked.

Lillie? That name sounds familiar.

Wei Xin couldn't recall where he had heard of it before.

"My name isn't Lillie, it's Wei Xin. Professor Li invited me to help," Wei Xin chuckled, covering his mouth. "The professor is probably too busy to think straight."
