A summer afternoon. The scorching sun relentlessly burned the earth; as far as the eye could see, even the air seemed to twist from the heat. The temperature was visibly high.
The Krabby flock, unable to endure the heat, hid in the pond, unwilling to show even a bit of their bodies. Otherwise, they would turn into roasted crabs. The Mareep flock had lost its morning excitement, each one huddled in a cool spot, quietly napping. The small Poochyena stayed in the large doghouse in the yard to escape the heat, all of them having fallen into sweet dreams, occasionally smacking their lips as if savoring their recent lunch.
Leafeon lay at the doorway of the house, enjoying a sunbath. Unlike other Pokémon, Leafeon loved this sunny weather. As Synthesis proceeded, the leaves on its body slowly released a fresh scent, gradually filling the courtyard.
There were several fresh holes in the ground next to the farmland. These were the burrows the Sentret had just dug. They slept inside, warm in winter and cool in summer, quite comfortable.
The lake in front of the villa was calm. Psyduck floated on the surface, facing the sky; it would stop occasionally, then slide again, and drift. "Ga~ The sky is so blue, the lake water is so cool, I'm so hungry…"
In the refreshingly cool room, Kaito lay on the soft, large bed, with Gardevoir beside him. Napping in an air-conditioned room on a hot summer day—what a wonderful thing that is.
Kaito's Rising Stardom
After his nap, Kaito leaned against the headboard and scrolled through his phone. Unexpectedly, he scrolled through several videos, all related to him.
Some were replicating his Minimize Serene Grace tactic, using this strategy to battle others. Unlike the previous Level One Brute Force Strategy, which had more limitations in real-world application, the Minimize Serene Grace tactic was a strategy that could truly be applied in reality, and its effect was excellent.
If the first tactic allowed some top-tier entities to initially learn about Master but didn't particularly impress them, then the second tactic was enough to make them take notice and treat that entity seriously! They calculated carefully, and most people realized that if they encountered this tactic for the first time without prior knowledge, they would very likely suffer a crushing defeat!
Therefore, many top Trainers and scholars successively posted videos of praise, elevating the name of Master to a new level. Besides that, some were interpreting his videos, or analyzing how powerful Master's true identity was—it became more and more exaggerated.
Now, on PokéTube, it was generally believed that Master was a great expert over fifty, a recluse living in plain sight, unwilling to seek attention. There were even so-called "experts" who commented that Master's true strength was comparable to a Champion. Kaito himself didn't even know he had Champion-level strength.
One thing was certain: he was truly famous online now, even gaining considerable renown on foreign networks, with countless top Trainers praising him.
Kaito made no comment on this. The internet is a double-edged sword; it can create gods and destroy them. He was famous now, but if he stopped updating tactics, he might be exploited by malicious individuals. So he never took these fleeting names too seriously. He posted videos for only two reasons: first, to gain Fame Value, and second, to earn money. If condensed further, the second point could even be omitted, because he wasn't short on money.
Unlocking Researcher Identity
After scrolling through videos for a while, Kaito put down his phone and went to his desk to open his computer. Today, he planned to try to unlock the Researcher identity.
He opened the website Pokémon Home. This was the only official academic paper platform in Dragon Country, superior in fame, scale, and all other aspects. Whether it was someone not involved in research or a world-renowned Doctor, anyone could publish papers here, provided the content was valid.
Kaito thought to himself. "I want to become a Researcher."
The system notified: Intention detected, new identity unlocked: Researcher. Unlocking related tasks... Identity Task: Publish a paper. Task Content: As a Researcher, you need to have your own topic. Choose one and then publish a paper. Task Reward: Random special ability.
Indeed. Researcher also counted as an identity. Kaito's heart settled, and he immediately prepared to write a paper.
After briefly browsing a few top papers, he found that their format and other requirements were largely similar to those of his previous life.
"Name?" "Hmm…" "Let's call it 'i am not a doctor'."
After entering his name, Kaito clicked on a blank document and started typing. His first paper was "Eevee's New Evolutionary Form – Leafeon!"
Originally, he hadn't planned to write the Eevee evolution paper first. After all, it would seem unreasonable for him to write such a paper without an Eevee. But after catching two Eevee, and then having Leafeon join him, this problem was easily solved. Additionally, people generally believed that Eevee had other evolutionary forms, so his presentation of this result wouldn't be hard to believe.
He began typing: "Eevee's genetic composition is extremely unstable. It is affected by the surrounding environment and energy changes, which can lead to different types of evolutions. Among them, Water, Electric, and Fire Types are more obvious, so they are directly influenced by the three types of evolutionary stones."
"However, there are also some genetic components that exist recessively and are not so easily affected by the stones. And to activate Eevee's recessive genes, the conditions required are even more stringent…"
Kaito is about to drop a massive scientific bombshell on the Pokémon world! Will this be enough to complete his first Researcher task and gain a new special ability?
