Chapter 171
Elena, who was currently calibrating the instruments, couldn't help but admire Lorze.
According to him, Lorze had drawn inspiration from Gyarados's rage-fueled evolution to
deduce the evolution method for Feebas.
Setting aside whether anyone else could have deduced this, the concept of evolving
through a "Beauty" condition sounded like an absolute joke. Who would ever look in that
direction?
But Lorze had thought of it. Not only did he think of it, but he also had the audacity to
claim Feebas as his third Pokémon just to put it into practice.
If he failed, he would have wasted a precious team slot for nothing.
Of course, he could apply to release Feebas to free up the slot— such requests were
generally approved.
But she still had to admit that this man possessed incredible boldness. The more she
looked at him, the more she wanted to possess him!
Oh wait, she had already possessed him. Never mind then~
. She would just go find him
for another orgy tonight; she was already missing the feeling of being fucked half to
death by him.
"Congratulations on your evolution, Feebas. Or perhaps I should call you Milotic now,
"
Lorze said, looking at the Pokémon in his arms that had suddenly grown massively larger
and thicker. While feeling gratified, he couldn't help but marvel at what miraculous
creatures Pokémon truly were.
How exactly did you transform from a giant yellow fish into a massive serpent?
The entire biological species changed, alright!
After evolving, Milotic's body length reached around 7 meters. A serpent this colossal
could effortlessly coil herself around him.
And in fact, that was exactly what Milotic did. After crossing the threshold, she didn't
even have the patience to inspect her own changes. Her exploding love drove her to
desperately pin her Trainer to the ground.
Without a single word, Milotic suddenly coiled around Lorze' s entire body, slamming him
hard onto the dirt, rubbing against his cheeks with absolute adoration.
Her long serpentine tail even forced its way between the inner sides of his thighs, rubbing
rhythmically in a passionate display that looked like a literal courtship ritual!
Just how intense did a Pokémon's emotional energy have to be to make it disregard
species barriers and court a human?
It was fine for Kirlia to court a human, since her Egg Group was explicitly classified under
the Human-Like category, making an attraction to a humanoid normal.
But between the two of you, one is a serpent and the other is a human— do you not
understand the concept of reproductive isolation?
"Muuu~!"
Milotic let out an exquisitely melodious cry, sounding impossibly ethereal. If she hadn't
pinned Lorze down like a total female pervert, she might have looked like an incredibly
elegant Pokémon, wouldn't she?
"Alright, alright. I' ll give you a proper, intimate session once we get back. Our top priorityright now is to run a full diagnostic scan on your body stats so I can design your new
training blueprint,
" Lorze said, fondling Milotic with genuine delight.
The skin on Milotic's upper body felt incredibly soft and luxurious to the touch,
surprisingly carrying a velvet-like texture.
Meanwhile, her lower half was blanketed in beautiful iridescent scales. Judging by the
vibrant radiance of these scales, it was guaranteed to be the Marvel Scale Ability.
Speaking of which, wild populations of Milotic were staggeringly rare, scarcely captured
in sporadic snapshots, meaning no Trainer had ever had the opportunity to capture one.
Did this mean he was officially the only Trainer on the planet to possess a Milotic?
Coupled with his even rarer Pure White Kirlia, the moment he debuted on the competitive
stage, he would drive countless people green with envy. His prestige and media
engagement would be completely maxed out, wouldn't they?
"Muuu~
"
.
Milotic remained tightly coiled around Lorze' s body, kissing his skin, completely refusing
to let him go. She couldn't stop rubbing against him; anyone with eyes could see just
how desperately she wanted Lorze.
Who the hell claimed Milotic was a universally compassionate, elegant, and peaceful
Pokémon?
Where did this sex-starved nympho behavior align with elegance?
Lorze could only helplessly cup her face, pressing a firm kiss against her lips. That should
temporarily satisfy her, right?
But Lorze never dreamed that to Milotic, his kiss was the equivalent of accepting her
courtship, which only triggered an even more violent surge of lust within her.
Driven to the edge by this overwhelming wave of emotion, Milotic could no longer
constrain her love. Pushed by primal instincts, she aggressively reverse-kissed Lorze,
parting her colored scales to expose a hidden, soaking-wet slit, grinding it heavily against
her lover.
And after that... Lorze paid the ultimate carnal price for his smooth-talking manipulation!
Yes, even Lorze never expected that he would one day be forcefully ravished outdoors
by a Milotic. Did this make him the first human in recorded history to be thoroughly
dominated and raped by a Pokémon?
This Milotic behaved exactly like a wild animal trapped in peak estrus, humping anything
in sight, and ruthlessly grinding into him until she completely conquered him.
It was a literal case of his cum being squeezed completely out of him, the hot, cloudy
white fluid jetting directly into the serpent's depths... this mind-melting, erotic scene left
any onlookers completely frozen in absolute shock.
Did humans engaging in sexual relations with Pokémon really carry zero moral
complications???
But Lorze was actually fine with it. As long as he threw away his morals, zero moral
issues could exist!
Cough, cough.
Well, it was mostly because he was already fucking Kirlia nearly every single day. Ever
since Kirlia was able to completely swallow his massive plug into her body, she couldn't
get enough of the carnal pleasure of sex. Not a single day went by where she didn'tdemand her master pump her full of hot loads, until her womb reeked entirely of her
master's seed.
Heck, Lorze had even bedded Big Sis Azumarill before. He was truly accustomed to
engaging in sexual relations with Pokémon, so as long as the partner's visual design
didn't break his baseline kinks, he harbored no real psychological aversion anymore.
Perhaps this was a textbook case of habit becoming second nature?
He was actually eager to proactively track down and experiment with a Lopunny, a
Meowscarada, a Hatterene, or a Gardevoir in the near future~
.
As for a non-humanoid aesthetic beauty like Milotic, while Lorze wouldn't have gone out
of his way to find one for sex, she was his bound partner after all. If she desperately
wanted to express her devotion to him like this, Lorze had no reason to reject his own
Pokémon.
Who didn't treat their female Pokémon like literal wives?
Some degenerates even spent all day praying for their female Eevee to transform into a
human girl for them.
Speaking of transforming... he might actually be able to make his partners do exactly that!
If he had Kirlia copy a Ditto's Imposter Ability, wouldn't she be able to reshape her form
at will just like a Ditto?
Then he could have Kirlia use Skill Swap on Mawile and Milotic, transferring the Imposter
Ability onto them as well, allowing the entire harem to transform into gorgeous women
right before their Master's eyes!
This kind of transformation wouldn't be a mere illusion, but a genuine alteration of their
physical forms, perfectly capable of satisfying all of their Master's desires and carnal
needs~
.
The more Lorze thought about it, the more he felt he needed to try it. Who wouldn't want
a harem of waifu-fied Pokémon?
Though... a Gardevoir didn't even require any modifications to begin with.
Cough, cough.
In any case, those were future considerations. Currently, Lorze needed to rapidly train
Milotic to prepare for the looming Metropolitan Battle, saving the transformation
experiments for after the tournament concluded.
Over the hours that followed, Lorze spent two dedicated hours thoroughly accompanying
Milotic. It wasn't until the sky turned completely dark that, under Lorze's persuasion,
Milotic finally halted her carnal demands and obediently followed him for a full body scan.
While she was undergoing the diagnostics, Kirlia and Mawile had already taken the
initiative to claim the most comfortable spots in their Master's embrace, causing Milotic
to grit her teeth in pure jealousy.
Thus, the moment the scan concluded, Milotic eagerly lunged right back onto him, her
frantic movements making it clear she desperately wanted to resume their session,
letting Lorze know he was in for a very busy night.
How did that old saying go?
"Like Trainer, like Pokémon.
" A thoroughly depraved pervert like Lorze was destined to
raise partners whose raw sluttiness and carnal capacity were prioritized and maxed out
from the very start.Chapter 172
Lorze fucked around with his Pokémon all night long, letting Milotic truly experience the
blissful taste of sleeping with her Trainer every night.
She wrapped her long serpentine tail around her lover coil by coil, exactly like a beautiful
girl locking her arms and legs tightly around her lover's body, sleeping with an
indescribable level of comfort.
Because of this, Milotic felt incredibly thankful that she had chosen to evolve; otherwise,
she never would have known that nightlife could be this wonderful.
After tasting the ecstasy of an orgy, forcing her to sleep all alone curled up in a freezing
rock crevice would be pure torture.
Milotic affectionately rubbed against Lorze's cheek, expressing her deep love. Perhaps
now she no longer viewed Lorze purely as a Trainer, but rather as her own lover.
But then again, which of Lorze's Pokémon didn't treat him like a lover?
The only thing Lorze hadn't anticipated was that someone else's Pokémon had
apparently taken him for a lover too?
When Lorze woke up, he felt the number of Pokémon in his arms was somewhat off.
Throwing back the duvet, he discovered an extra Pokémon actually sprawled across his
chest.
Holy shit, wasn't this Xue Yi's Umbreon?
Why are you in my bed instead of staying by Xue Yi's side?
I don't even have a Dark-type aura. As a Dark-type Pokémon, do you really need to be
this clingy with me?
You're making it look like I'm a bad guy!
How am I a bad guy? Haven't you seen how much better all those MILFs' lives have
become after surrendering to me?
I am literally sacrificing myself for the greater good!
Alright, I can't keep bullshitting, but could you please clean off the thick, cloudy cum
covering your fur first? If Xue Yi finds out, our relationship is going to be impossible to
explain!
As the saying goes, speak of the devil and he shall appear. Before Lorze even finished his
sentence, Xue Yi—who had been looking for her missing Eevee since morning—walked
in. She originally just intended to take a casual look, only to stare in absolute disbelief at
the scene on her husband's bed.
Her Umbreon was lounging contentedly inside her man's chest, lazily licking away the
sticky white cum staining her fur, looking exactly like she was basking in the afterglow of
being thoroughly plowed.
Xue Yi's face turned pitch-black instantly.
Lorze's face followed suit, turning dark with dread.
Uh... honey, let's talk this out like civilized adults. What are you doing with that chair?
Wait a minute! Stay back! NO, PLEASE—!!!
Her expression twisting into a borderline yandere frenzy, a gloomy Xue Yi pinned her man
down onto the mattress, brutally committing domestic violence against him while
manually milking his cock. She ruthlessly squeezed several thick loads of cum out of himbefore letting out a cold snort, gathering her Umbreon to take a bath and leaving a
broken Lorze covered in slaps, lipstick smudges, and bite marks to mutter about how
terrifying yanderes truly were.
At least she didn't actually hit me with the chair. She still loves me!
...
Lorze thus concluded his painful yet blissful orgy time, transitioning right into his
specialized "private custom" schedule.
And it truly was a custom layout.
Before he could even get out of bed, a mature, seductive MILF silhouette stepped into
the room, causing even Umbreon to poke her head out to steal a glance.
The figure projected a natural, heavy Dark-type aura that sent a shiver down the spine of
anyone who met her gaze; who else could this lethal, breathtaking noblewoman be but
his beloved Auntie Xue?
Lorze ' s eyes flared with hunger; tonight's Auntie Xue was wearing an elegant black
evening dress, her enticing long legs encased in translucent black silk stockings, looking
so impossibly sexy that a man couldn't resist the urge to pounce on her and ravish her
body.
"Auntie Xue! Why are you here?" Lorze said with excitement.
"Since you haven't come to see me in ages, your Auntie missed you and decided to drop
in herself~
.
" Xue Xu looked at his horny expression, her lips curling into a subtle, knowing
smile.
Excellent; the boy was just as gluttonous for her flesh as always, making her deliberate
effort to dress this provocatively worthwhile— she usually never wore something this
explicitly designed to seduce a male.
The reason she went out of her way to put it on, aside from them basically living as
husband and wife in the shadows, was to ensure the boy's mind remained permanently
anchored to her flesh.
It couldn't be helped; every time they spent a brief period apart, the boy would suddenly
drop a batch of world-shattering research papers on her.
Things like Mega Evolution and the 18th type were terrifying just to think about, to the
extent that even Elena—the ultimate sapiosexual who spent her life obsessing over her
late husband's mind— couldn't stop herself from surrendering her body to him, which
spoke volumes.
She truly couldn't fathom how this guy operated, generating massive headlines like
clockwork, and every single reveal completely scrambled her corporate development
roadmap.
Do you have any idea how many Friendship-detecting monitors the Xue family had to
build after your Emotional Energy theory went live?
Do you know how much capital the Xue family burned to restructure our entire assembly
line and supply networks once the Pokéblock machine dropped?
She had just finalized a long-term corporate expansion plan built entirely around those
two breakthroughs, yet before she could even begin implementing it, the boy handed her
a fresh mountain of "trouble.
"
And wasn't it a huge trouble?Engineering the agricultural pipeline to breed and harvest 18th-type Berries, while
deploying global assets to acquire and corner the market on Mega Stones and Key
Stones...
The former was an industry the Xue family had never even touched, while the latter was
an asset hunt that would drain an immeasurable volume of time and energy to fulfill.
Can we please slow down your pacing? At least let me execute one corporate layout
before you propose the next milestone! You ' re putting your Auntie in a bind; if she
doesn't rewrite her corporate goals it's a loss, but if she does... how is she supposed to
resist a temptation like the 18th type?
He was truly a child who refused to let her rest, meaning she had to discipline him
thoroughly~
.
Xue Xu greedily licked her lips; she hadn't properly tasted a man in a month, and to
ensure this precious brat wasn't poached by some wild high-society harlots, she had to
drop in regularly to let him sleep with her~
.
Ignoring her best friend Elena, who had followed her into the room and was watching,
she kicked off her high heels and climbed right onto the mattress. Right in front of her
best friend's face, she guided his rigid, hard cock straight into her depths, violently
straddling the teenager to launch into a wild session of long-overdue lovemaking.
It was a severe disappointment that their snow-mountain expedition hadn't resulted in a
pregnancy, so Xue Xu had specifically calculated her peak fertility window for this visit,
determined to let him successfully sow his seed!
Naturally, she also had official business to execute on the side.
Remember how the Xue family had originally planned to unveil Umbreon's visual
template and evolution pathway during the standard Provincial Tournament? Now that
Lorze and Xue Yi had jumped ship to join Shanghai's Metropolitan Battle, the local
provincial tournament directors who wanted to farm that media hype were literally crying
themselves to sleep.
Xue Xu had to come over to negotiate a corporate alliance with the Metropolitan Battle
operations committee.
For instance, arranging for Xue Yi to be the opening starter, while hand-picking
opponents who possessed decent stats but presented zero structural threat, allowing
Umbreon to flawlessly flex her full capabilities and stunning visual design.
To put it bluntly, they were selecting a prime target to function as a punching-bag
background prop for Umbreon.
While performing these modifications in a sanctioned league was a literal case of
match-fixing...
...did anyone honestly assume any tournament was completely clean?
At the end of the day, the Metropolitan Battle remained a rookie-tier bracket; while the
media engagement was solid, it still sat miles below the National Championships.
And now that they were delivering exclusive, high-impact assets like Umbreon and
Milotic to freely drive up the viewership metrics, the committee would have to hate
money to decline a corporate alliance.
Once the operational schedules for Umbreon and Milotic were secured, they could drop
the pre-heat teaser clips straight onto the Pokédex app.Once that wave of hype exploded across the web, the Xue family's trajectory would
skyrocket, firmly cementing their Pokédex platform as the absolute, undisputed
monopoly across the nation—no competitor would ever stand a chance against them
again!
Chapter 173
That night, Lorze held Auntie Xue and Elena in his arms, deeply and passionately making
love with them for the entire night.
When morning arrived, Elena threw herself right back into the exhilarating scientific
research as usual, while Auntie Xue went to negotiate a corporate alliance with the
Metropolitan Battle operations committee, a process that dragged on for over three
days.
Only after the contract was fully finalized did Auntie Xue return to his side, physically
merging with him once again.
"Auntie Xue, I' m a bit worried about one thing. If we reveal Umbreon's evolution pathway
during the match, won't we have to make the existence of Emotional Energy public too?"
Lorze asked through telepathy while locked in a heated, passionate kiss with her.
Telepathic communication was normally an ability exclusive to Psychic-type Pokémon or
high-tier Psychics, but after his deep mental fusion with Goddess Xue Tong, he had
acquired a similar technique.
Although he couldn't transmit messages across vast distances like Goddess Xue Tong
yet, he could easily communicate his thoughts through their fused spirits during the peak
of carnal pleasure.
This finally eliminated the annoyance of trying to speak while kissing; they could just
grind their lips together however felt best, swirling their tongues in total chaos without a
care. Absolutely delightful~
.
Furthermore, there was the anxiety Lorze had just mentioned. If Auntie Xue wanted to
anchor the Pokédex app's foundation around Pokéblocks and Emotional Energy
detection, they couldn't let competitors know about the existence of Emotional Energy.
Otherwise, rival companies would eventually build their own scanning hardware, which
would compromise the Xue family's market dominance, wouldn't it?
"There's no need to worry about that. By the time they catch on, the Xue family will have
already cornered the entire market. Forcing their way in won't be that easy, and don't
forget we still have the Pokéblocks, right?" Xue Xu wasn't concerned about this risk;
exchanging the free release of Umbreon's evolution pathway for a tidal wave of public
loyalty was far more lucrative.
If rival companies wanted to imitate them and build tracking software, let them try.
Xue Xu understood intimately how much time it took for a project to go from initial R&D
investment to the perfection of its supporting infrastructure; that window was more than
enough to cultivate a generation of fanatical Xue family users.
Once a user became hardwired into a specific application, they would be too lazy to
switch, no matter how optimized a competitor's new app claimed to be.
Besides, Xue Xu didn't believe a piece of software could ever surface that would leave
their Pokédex app in the dust. Even if one did, they still held the unreleased Pokéblocksin reserve, didn't they?
The second Pokéblocks went global, they would be the sole supplier on the planet; users
would have a hard time not choosing them.
"Then I can rest easy,
" Lorze nodded. He didn't want his scientific milestones to become
weapons for rivals to suppress them.
Furthermore, Lorze desperately needed these research breakthroughs to generate
capital. Although he looked like he wasn't lacking funds right now, his current wealth was
nowhere near enough to finance his grand future blueprints.
Lorze had been a poor man in his past life, and though he had flipped his fortune in this
life, he had still started from the bottom as a commoner.
Therefore, he understood perfectly how miserable a poor person's existence could be,
and he knew they didn't just have spare luxury apartments sitting around to rent out for
passive income.
So, he intended to launch a completely "revolutionary Trainer model" in the future,
tailored specifically for the lower-income demographics. That project was destined to be
an absolute money-sink in its initial phase, so he had to hoard as much cash as possible
right now.
Naturally, he also needed to amass a titanic level of social prestige; otherwise, who
would support his radical new system?
To this end, publishing Emotional Energy worked entirely to his advantage, as it meant
his identity as a Researcher would be officially announced to the world.
...
During the days that followed, Lorze remained continuously locked in a carnal embrace
with Auntie Xue.
Yes, right up until the Metropolitan Battle officially launched, they were continuously
fucking, never separating except to use the bathroom. Even their meals were fed to them
by Xue Yi while they stayed tightly joined together.
This made it glaringly obvious just how desperate Xue Xu was to get pregnant with his
child, didn't it?
Two weeks later, the Xue family Pokédex app rolled out a massive new update. Aside
from standard data optimization and a fresh database detailing which moves perfectly
suited each Pokémon species, it forced two massive pop-up banners onto every screen.
The move-suitability database was an update Lorze had demanded, engineered
specifically to prevent everyday Trainers from wasting their hard-earned money and
energy blindly buying useless tutorial videos for moves their partners couldn't realistically
learn.
This user-centric update left the public absolutely delighted, but what truly drove them
into a frenzy of excitement were the two pop-up banners flashing a three-day
countdown.
The silhouettes on the banners clearly belonged to undiscovered Pokémon. One was
unmistakably the Umbreon form the Xue family had promised to reveal; judging by the
outline, it looked incredibly sleek and cute.
As for the other coiled, serpentine silhouette, it was difficult for the public to identify.
Countless users began guessing its identity, and a few analytical content creatorslaunched detailed breakdown videos, successfully deducing the identity of Milotic based
on the twin antennae and elegant tail-fans in the silhouette.
This deduction instantly set the internet on fire, dragging the Pokédex platform and the
"Genius Researcher Lorze" straight to the top of the trending headlines once again.
If Eevee was the universally adored national pet, then Milotic was undeniably the
supreme National Goddess of the Pokémon world.
This species had always been blanketed in absolute mystery, inspiring endless fantasies
across human history.
Unlike Gardevoir, who was mostly worshipped as a goddess by the male demographic,
Milotic was universally adored by both men and women alike, every single one of them
dreaming of claiming one.
Why else do you think the scientific craze surrounding Feebas had gone viral back then?
It was because everyone was completely lusting after Milotic's beautiful body!
If the silhouette published by the Xue family was truly a Milotic, did it mean the mystery of
her evolution pathway had been thoroughly unraveled, and humanity finally possessed a
viable path to owning a Milotic?
Holy shit! Is this for real?!
How did this leak out without a single drop of pre-heat gossip, suddenly dropping a
massive heart attack on the community?!
Compared to this bombshell, the premium Eevee Eggs they had hoarded in anticipation
of the new evolution suddenly didn't look so alluring anymore.
Who could have predicted this?
Umbreon, who was supposed to be the absolute protagonist of this update, had
essentially been transformed into a background prop for someone else's debut.
To be bundled into the same update as Milotic... their poor Umbreon was far too
miserable!
Simultaneously, a massive wave of curiosity erupted across the web regarding the true
identity of this so-called "Genius Researcher Lorze.
" How could a single human
repeatedly smash through research barriers that the world had failed to dent for
decades?
What about that guy?
"User Q,
" right?
Was he getting ready to do another livestream of himself doing a handstand while
washing his hair with shit?
What? You say it's supposed to be a livestream of him eating shit?
Heh~
, considering that fraudulent clown never actually had the balls to swallow it, the
community had kindly lowered the difficulty metrics for him lately, hadn't they?
Unfortunately, User Q was already a dead man, his profile completely silent no matter
how many times the community tagged him. He had likely abandoned the account
entirely, but that didn't stop the internet from dragging him out to "eat some shit" every
single time Lorze dropped a fresh breakthrough~
.
Just like how every Faker highlight reel is incomplete without Ryu getting clowned on, he
had become the classic textbook background prop.
And so, amidst this boiling tide of agonizing public anticipation, the three-day countdownon the banners finally neared its end.
With only one hour left on the clock, a catastrophic surge of users began flooding into the
Pokédex app frantically.
One hundred million... two hundred million... three hundred million...
Watching the active concurrent metrics skyrocket, the Xue family executives were
laughing all the way to the bank, while their corporate competitors' faces turned
completely black with despair.
They had been working overtime behind closed doors for months trying to crack
Umbreon's evolution, but still had absolutely nothing to show for it.
They had originally hoped to see the Xue family stumble and fail over Umbreon as well,
but instead of failing, their rivals had casually pulled a Milotic out of thin air.
Goddammit! How the fuck are we supposed to compete with this! They now seriously
suspected the Xue family had a literal hacker running their backend operations!
Who the hell was this Researcher Lorze?
When did China breed a freak of nature like this!
The moment the countdown on the silhouettes hit zero, signaling the start of the
Metropolitan Battle, a hyperlink to the sanctioned official livestream room popped up.
The visual designs and data profiles of both Pokémon would be systematically unveiled
during the course of the live matches. This drew a colossal influx of traffic to the stream,
instantly crashing the broadcast servers.
This mind-boggling level of hype left the tournament officials with darkened faces from
the technical difficulties, yet they were grinning so hard they couldn't stop. This time,
they were truly going to make a fortune while lying down!
Chapter 174
The Metropolitan Battle was a provincial-level high school league jointly hosted by
China's major metropolises, direct-administered municipalities, and special
administrative regions.
Encompassing the elite schools from the capitals of the top ten GDP-ranking provinces
in the country, it was a literal gathering place for geniuses. It was the fountain of China's
young blood, and there was a massive probability that future Elite Four members and
Champions would be born from among them.
Therefore, the public attention on the Metropolitan Battle had never been low. The higher
up someone was in society, the more they paid attention to this tournament. Who
wouldn't want to unearth potential talents early on? Perhaps the genius they invested in
would become an Elite Four Champion in the future.
As a result, every competitor was giving it their absolute all. No one wanted to make a
fool of themselves at such a grand event, and everyone lusted after the throne of first
place.
If one could snatch the crown in a place swarming with heaven's chosen ones, they
could essentially be recognized as the absolute strongest among their peers, right?
No one could resist the temptation of this "Rookie King" title, unless... there was an even
greater temptation.
To be honest, after fighting inter-school scrimmages for so long, everyone had a roughidea of what level they were at.
Those qualified to fight for first place were nothing more than a select few; for the rest,
fighting their way into the Top 8 would be considered a massive success.
But this year, I'm afraid that battle for the top spot was going to incur two sudden rogue
variables.
No one expected that the two most viral Pokémon on the Pokédex app would be
officially unveiled during the Metropolitan Battle. Furthermore, the Pokémon suspected
to be Milotic was being personally fielded by the "Genius Researcher Lorze" highly
endorsed by the Xue family.
Didn't this explicitly spell out that Researcher Lorze's age was the same as theirs, that he
was just a high schooler?
Are you fucking kidding me? The mysterious researcher who rapidly rose to fame over
the past six months was actually a minor? Were these achievements truly something an
underage kid could accomplish?
Where were those aging, professional researchers who hadn't achieved anything
supposed to hide their faces?
The vast majority of people simply couldn't believe that the long-revered Researcher
Lorze was just a high school student. He might even be younger than them. Could it be
that the Xue family intentionally forged his age?
Or perhaps, as a special guest act for the Metropolitan Battle's opening ceremony, he
wasn't here to officially compete, so his age didn't matter?
God fucking dammit, why hasn't the match started yet? The tournament organizers
better hurry the fuck up and get the show on the road. Do they not know what people
actually want to see?
Amidst this chorus of urging, the host, feeling quite helpless, quickly blitzed through the
introductions of the competing teams and the various guest representatives, then
hurriedly announced the start of the tournament.
Having been the Metropolitan Battle host for so many years, it was his first time seeing a
rookie tournament generate such massive traffic. It genuinely made even a professional
like him nervous.
"And with that, the guest introductions come to a close. I imagine you all aren't here
entirely just to watch the matches. Many of you must have heard the news on the
Pokédex app, and are dying to see the true forms of the rumored Umbreon and the other
mysterious Pokémon, right?"
"I am just as curious as all of you, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Let us
welcome the opening combatants for the Metropolitan Battle's Individual bracket with a
thunderous round of applause! They are Trainer Li Ning from the Jiangsu Province school
team, and the boy affectionately known by netizens across the web as the Genius
Researcher... Captain Lorze!"
The moment the name Lorze was spoken, the countless netizens watching the livestream
instantly exploded into a frenzy.
It wasn't because the name Lorze carried that much innate influence, but purely because
quite a few people had already speculated about the Genius Researcher's true identity.
Among them, there was no shortage of theories pointing to Lorze, the Trainer of the purewhite Ralts from the Torchic Challenger Tournament. It was just that whenever anyone
thought about Lorze's age, even the theorists themselves felt it was too absurd, which
was why it hadn't triggered a massive response.
But now, watching that familiar teenager walk onto the battlefield with a headset and a
confident smile, everyone fell silent.
It really is fucking you!!!
The livestream's chat instantly boiled over. Many people were asking who this guy was,
and were then swarmed with recommendations to watch the finals video of the Torchic
Challenger Tournament.
Watching the footage of a pure white Ralts ignoring type disadvantages to relentlessly
beat a Frogadier into submission... made Shi Fan's face turn pitch-black as he watched
the same tournament livestream.
God-fucking-dammit! Lorze had already transferred schools, so why the hell was he still
being dragged out to be publicly executed like this? His name wasn't Ryu either!
Did this mean that in the future, every single time Lorze published a new research paper,
the video of him getting brutally clowned on was going to be circulated all over again?
Please, no... he didn't want to live under that bastard's shadow for the rest of his life!
What if he was walking down the street in the future and got recognized? Wouldn't he be
approached by people saying,
'Hey, aren't you that Frogadier Trainer who got
systematically annihilated by Researcher Lorze?'
Frogadier Trainer my ass! You bastards only remember me getting beaten up, you
completely forgot my actual name, didn't you!
Only Tang Ming offered a sympathetic, somewhat envious pat on Shi Fan's shoulder.
"At least you can ride the Boss's coattails to farm some fame. Even infamy is still fame,
and this isn't even that bad. Unlike a complete nobody like me; I couldn't go viral even if I
wanted to.
"
...
While some wept and others rejoiced, under the gaze of millions, Lorze officially stepped
onto the stage of history inside Shanghai's national-grade stadium.
As for Lorze's opponent, the Jiangsu Trainer named Li Ning, he didn't even know
whether he should be weeping or laughing.
The second he heard his opponent was the legendary Researcher Lorze, he somewhat
guessed that he had been manually selected by the officials to function as a background
prop for the star.
He never dreamed he would meet the scientist he deeply revered in a setting like this...
"Researcher Lorze, I wonder if you still remember me,
" Li Ning looked at Lorze with a
complex expression, his voice echoing through the massive stadium via his microphone.
"And you are...?" Lorze studied the distant Li Ning seriously, completely unable to find a
trace of this guy in his memory.
"Come out, Totodile.
" Li Ning didn't say much else, simply summoning a massive
Feraligatr.
"You have the nerve to call that a Totodile?" Lorze stared with bulging eyes.
"I can't help it, it's a habit from when he was small, isn't it?"
"True. When my Ralts first evolved, I wasn't used to changing her name either... wait, areyou that specific Totodile user who asked questions on the Pokédex forum back then?"
"Yes! Thanks to your personal guidance, I finally unlocked my Totodile's Ability
mechanics. I never expected to encounter you in this manner today.
"
"Then I'm truly sorry, brother. I'm afraid I'm going to have to eliminate you in the very
first round today.
" Lorze hadn't expected to stumble into such a coincidence.
He had a solid memory of this Totodile user; it was the specific fan who had defended
him against User Q's initial skepticism back then.
To force someone who had helped him to act as a background prop, and through official
match-fixing no less, actually gave him a rare sliver of guilt.
It was strange; he didn't feel a drop of guilt when acting like an absolute fuckboy, yet he
felt guilty about this.
"It's fine, a match is decided by raw strength anyway, and my Totodile only recently
evolved into a Feraligatr. I'm very aware that I lack the power to fight for first place. I
mainly came here to participate in the Team battles; the Individual bracket is just for fun.
"
Li Ning shook his head. With Lorze standing right here, what the hell was the point of
fighting for #1?
In his eyes, the Ralts ' performance in that old tournament was absolutely broken,
chasing down and beating opponents despite type disadvantages. The elite prodigies of
Shanghai and Beijing were likely getting massive headaches just looking at him.
"How can you say it's fine? Tell you what, as compensation, I' ll teach you how to
Dual-Wield Abilities. Consider it an expression of my apology,
" Lorze said.
"Uh... while I don't feel any apology is necessary, what exactly is a Dual-Wielding
Ability?" Li Ning asked, dumbfounded.
"It' s my latest research breakthrough. I can grant a Pokémon the probability to
simultaneously hold two Abilities. You should grasp what that implies, right?"
"Hold two Abilities? Is such a thing genuinely possible?"
"Of course it is, and it's actually incredibly simple.
"
"And... you can really teach this to me?" Li Ning's mind went blank. How could such a
good thing fall into his lap?
"Why not? I' ve already taught it to several people anyway. It' s no big deal, just treat it as
a fan benefit~
,
" Lorze shrugged, acting as if he couldn't care less about this minor cheat
code. Every single person in his inner circle had already unlocked Dual-Wielding Abilities,
after all.
Li Ning: "???"
The Host: "???"
The competitors and viewers watching their screens: "???"
The second Lorze ' s casual words faded, the entire crowd fell into a dead silence,
absolutely unable to believe what they had just heard.
What the actual fuck do you mean it's "no big deal"? Can you even hear the absolute
insanity coming out of your mouth right now?
Since when could a Pokémon hold two Abilities? That was a blatant cheat code!
And calling it a "fan benefit"
...
Ten-year veteran fans are checking in uninvited! Just tell us if we get a share too!
Many of the top-tier elites attending as special guest dignitaries could no longer sit still. IfLorze ' s sudden announcement wasn't a joke, it was unimaginable how massive an
impact this would have on the future competitive meta.
And if this was a technique that only he personally could execute for others, they were
going to lose their minds even more!
Who wouldn't want to recruit a genius wielding that caliber of technology into their own
faction?
"Just what kind of monster did the Xue family unearth?"
Sitting as one of the guests, the Chief President of the China Pokémon Trainer
Association shook her head in disbelief.
This Chief President was undeniably one of the most powerful authority figures in the
entire country. Generally speaking, individuals of her status rarely made public
appearances, and it was impossible for her to have the free time to spectate a rookie
tournament.
Even if this rookie tournament was the premier venue for scouting domestic prodigies,
such tasks were usually delegated to the provincial Trainer Associations.
The true reason she had come to watch the matches was that she had heard the name
Lorze more than a few times recently.
The Li Province Trainer Association was aggressively endorsing him, the Principal of
SMU High had personally applied for exclusive Secret Realm quotas for him, and the
internet was currently going crazy over news about him; his prestige had grown to an
absurdly outrageous level.
What surprised her even more was that even Goddess Xue Tong—the prime candidate
for the next Champion throne—frequently spoke his name, making it impossible for the
Chief President to ignore him.
However, while she recognized his researcher talents were genuinely elite, the problem
remained that she was the President of the Trainer Association. Researcher affairs didn't
fall under her jurisdiction. What good was her interest? It was the people at the Academy
of Sciences who should care, right?
But word had it that the Academy of Sciences wasn't ignoring him either; how could that
pack of starving academic wolves ever let a talent like this slip away?
It was just that the Xue family aggressively shielded Lorze, forbidding anyone from taking
him away. No matter how much the Academy of Sciences wanted to recruit him, their
hands were tied. After all, Xue Tong's current status was highly unique, and everyone
had to afford the Xue family a certain degree of respect.
But this time was different. The moment the Chief President heard that Lorze was
actually participating in the Metropolitan Battle, it signaled that he was expanding into
the Trainer domain. This time, he should definitively fall under her jurisdiction, right?
"President Murong, Madam Xue Xu requests an audience with you.
"
"Let her in. It just so happens I have a few matters I'd like to discuss thoroughly with her
as well.
"
Chapter 175
The moment Dual-Wielding Abilities were brought up, the audience went into a collective
frenzy. Every single person wished they could instantly become a ten-year veteran fan ofLorze and beg for some fan benefits.
Li Ning couldn't even close his mouth from smiling so hard. If his Totodile could
simultaneously hold both the Torrent and Sheer Force Abilities, he couldn't even imagine
how broken that power level would be!
"Researcher Lorze, I'm absolutely committed to being your background prop today. Just
tell me what you need me to do!" Li Ning was very straightforward, completely ignoring
the risk of being flamed for throwing the match, and publicly announced his willingness
to serve as Lorze's willing pawn.
"You don't really need to do anything specific. Just fighting normally is enough.
" Lorze
shook his head. If his opponent was just humoring him, how was he supposed to
showcase Milotic's true strength?
"That's easy then. Let me see the Pokémon you've prepared, Researcher Lorze. I'm also
incredibly curious to know if that Pokémon really is a Milotic,
" Li Ning said with
anticipation.
"Alright, it's time to reveal the answer.
" Lorze smiled slightly, then gently tossed out his
Poké Ball.
"Come out, Milotic! It's time to show the world your charm!"
This time, there was no need for anyone to guess; Lorze directly called out Milotic's
name.
As the Poké Ball opened, a mysterious creature enveloped in red light was released.
Accompanying her appearance were waves of white mist. The ethereal fog swirled
around the mysterious Pokémon, making her graceful figure faintly visible, inadvertently
adding a touch of fairy-like mystique to her presence.
It was incredibly beautiful, just a little hard to see clearly...
The officials were very savvy at this moment, quickly maneuvering the high-speed Rotom
cameras into position. Every lens instantly locked onto the elegant Pokémon within the
white mist, frantically capturing shots of her partially obscured figure. This finally allowed
the audience to see her true appearance clearly.
And unlike the blurry photos online, this time they captured Milotic's entire body with
crystal clarity from every angle, thoroughly unveiling this incredibly rare Pokémon to the
world.
Her graceful posture completely lived up to everyone's expectations; her elegant form
was even more noble than they had fantasized. In just one face-to-face encounter, she
captured the hearts of countless men and women. They all acted as if they were in love,
cupping their faces and fantasizing about owning a Milotic of their own.
What a beautiful Pokémon! She truly lives up to the title of the world's most beautiful
Pokémon!
At a loss for words, they could only use phrases like "as elegant as a startled swan, as
graceful as a swimming dragon" to describe her; they couldn't find any other words to
express their feelings.
If one had to summarize it in a simple sentence: even though Milotic wasn't humanoid,
their sexual desires were actually awakened!
"So beautiful...
" The girls were intoxicated by the sight.
"It's so wonderful that Researcher Lorze discovered Milotic's evolution conditions. From
today on, I am his ten-year veteran fan! Nobody try to stop me!" The guys also sighedwith emotion. Without his discovery, how long would it have taken for them to own a
Pokémon like this?
"What ten-year veteran fan? You're just thirsting after Researcher Lorze's Dual-Wielding
Ability benefits!"
Whether it was the live audience or the livestream chat, everyone was mesmerized by the
beauty of this Pokémon.
Especially with the wisps of white mist shrouding her, that hazy beauty made it
absolutely impossible to pull their eyes away.
Goddammit, what is the host doing? Hurry up and ask Researcher Lorze about the
evolution conditions and the pre-evolution Pokémon! Who cares about the match?
What's the point of watching the match? They were unilaterally declaring Lorze the
winner!
Fortunately, the host didn't have to worry about this. Li Ning, acting as the background
prop, very cooperatively asked these questions, because he was dying to know too.
"Researcher Lorze, is this really a Milotic?" Li Ning's eyes were shining as he stared
intently at the fairy-like Pokémon.
"That's right, this is Milotic. I have already fully researched this Pokémon's evolution
conditions and its pre-evolution form. Do you want to know?" Lorze said with a smile.
"Of course I do! If conditions allowed, who wouldn't want to own one?!" Li Ning said with
anticipation.
"Heh! You guys are dreaming. This is something I researched with all my effort; how
could I just tell you so casually? If you want to know the answer, come and defeat me.
Whenever someone manages to beat me, that's when I'll tell you~
.
" Lorze spread his
hands, flat out refusing to tell them.
This left the audience completely dumbfounded. Many of them had rushed to the
stadium early in the morning just to find out Milotic's evolution method. How could you
leave us hanging like this, Researcher Lorze? You can't play with people's feelings like
this!
"Do you really have to play it like this? You'll become a public enemy, Researcher Lorze,
"
Li Ning was also taken aback. So Researcher Lorze actually had such a 'bitchy'
personality?
"After all, this is a battlefield, and a battlefield must follow battlefield rules. Or is there no
one confident enough to beat me?" Lorze simply smiled.
"If you're going to put it like that, then I can't hold back. Take this, Researcher Lorze!"
"Struggle hard, and try not to bore me too much~
"
.
Lorze was acting just like a villain, his arrogance leaving many clicking their tongues.
Especially those who were considered top contenders for the championship, such as the
captains of the major school teams. Who among them wasn't confident to the point of
arrogance? How could they stand watching Lorze steal all the spotlight by himself?
That guy better pray he doesn't run into them; otherwise, they would definitely show him
who was the one struggling!
"Coil.
"
As soon as the match began, Lorze ordered Milotic to use a stat-boosting move right
where she was."Interrupt her, Hydro Pump.
"
Feraligatr opened its massive jaws, and Water-type energy began gathering in its mouth,
quickly forming a powerful column of water that blasted toward Milotic.
Feraligatr wasn't a special-attacking Pokémon, so this move was merely meant as a
ranged interruption to stop the opponent's stat boost.
"Substitute.
"
Milotic showed no intention of dodging. She simply expended some stamina to create a
mysterious clone. The clone possessed the exact same appearance and strength as
Milotic, only its colors looked slightly dimmer.
The moment the Substitute appeared, it blocked the Hydro Pump for Milotic. Within two
seconds, a powerful aura surged from her true body; this was the sign of a successful
stat boost.
"Continue using Coil,
" Lorze commanded again.
"Not good. Abandon Hydro Pump, interrupt her in close combat!" Li Ning's heart
tightened, and he quickly changed tactics.
Feraligatr also understood that it couldn't let its opponent boost her stats so easily. Even
between evenly matched opponents, a single stat boost could grant a distinct advantage.
If she boosted twice, the match would essentially be decided.
Feraligatr didn't dare be careless. It rapidly closed the distance using Aqua Jet, intending
to bypass the Substitute and manually interrupt her.
But what surprised everyone was that before Feraligatr could even bypass the Substitute,
the clone actively charged forward, using Aqua Tail to shatter Feraligatr's Aqua Jet.
Li Ning's eyes widened in disbelief. A Substitute moving wasn't strange; many people
could achieve that.
But a Substitute using moves was taking it too far, wasn't it?!
If the true body finished boosting and charged forward alongside the Substitute, wouldn't
it turn into a tag-team match?
Isn't this a 1v1 match?
How can you call for backup?!
For a time, Feraligatr was delayed by the reckless Substitute and suffered miserably,
forced to watch helplessly as Milotic easily boosted her stats.
With no other choice, Feraligatr had to destroy the Substitute first. But Milotic simply
activated Aqua Ring, continuously regenerating her health.
Every time Feraligatr destroyed a Substitute, she would create another one as if her
health cost nothing.
As a result, Feraligatr was constantly entangled and couldn't get close to Milotic. Only
after Milotic had maxed out her stat boosts right in front of it was Feraligatr finally allowed
to approach.
But at this point, it was no longer a question of whether Feraligatr could get close, but
whether it could run away fast enough.
Facing a Milotic with +6 stat boosts across the board, even though Feraligatr was a
Water-type Pokémon with high physical defense, it was still beaten by Milotic until it
howled in pain.
Especially since Milotic was dual-wielding the Adaptability Ability.You read that right. The second Ability Milotic was dual-wielding was Adaptability, which
she developed back when she was a Feebas; it wasn't her own natural Ability.
Her own Ability was Marvel Scale, which boosted defense when triggered.
And Adaptability boosted damage.
Combining the two, a Pokémon that was incredibly tanky and dealt massive damage was
born.
A single Aqua Tail from Milotic knocked out more than half of Feraligatr's health bar;
another hit would take it out completely, no questions asked.
Li Ning was completely stunned throughout the entire process. It was his first time
encountering a situation where he was utterly powerless while watching an opponent
boost their stats.
No one had anticipated that a Substitute could also use moves, and they certainly didn't
expect that the genius who shone so brightly in the research field could also train a
Pokémon to simultaneously control a Substitute while maintaining stat boosts. This was
stepping into the realm of multitasking, right?
For a moment, the captains of the major school teams fell silent after watching this. They
had originally planned to teach Lorze a lesson when they met him, but now it seemed
that if they couldn't deal with that move-using Substitute either, their final outcome
wouldn't be much better than Li Ning's, would it?
No, they had to hold a meeting when they got back tonight. This guy wasn't just normally
strong; they had to find a way to break his strategy.
And apparently, this was only his third Pokémon?
Then just how terrifyingly strong must his starter Pokémon be?
