Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 29 A Noblewoman with Extraordinary Powers

Li Shuwen and Yongzao returned to the research lab, where the three researchers were painstakingly measuring data on Torchic, Treecko, and Mudkip when they used their skills.

Upon learning that Yuzo had commanded Infernape, Empoleon, Torterra, and Primeape in battles, and all had been defeated, the three of them showed expressions of shock.

"Are Shuwen and Hot Monkey that powerful?!"

Yongzao shrugged. "They'll probably battle Infernape again tomorrow. You'll each get a turn and see how powerful Infernape is."

The three of them immediately became excited and threw themselves into their work.

"Shuwen, have you decided which one you want?"

Without hesitation, Li Shuwen shouted, "Turkey!"

The female researcher asked excitedly, "Is the doctor finally planning to distribute them to trainers for further development?"

Yuzao nodded. "Shuwen is the first one. The other two should also be assigned to trainers that the professor knows well."

The two male researchers were also very excited. "This is great! We do experiments every day, and we also have to find time to train these three. The workload is so heavy that it's exhausting."

The female researcher raised her hand. "Let's make something nice to celebrate tonight. What would you like to eat?"

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "If you don't mind, I think I'm a decent cook, so I'll make dinner."

The female researcher raised her hand. "I agree! I want omelet rice!"

Yuzo frowned. "How can we let guests help with the cooking!"

Li Shuwen waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll cook for everyone. That way, when I encounter any Pokémon problems, I can confidently ask everyone for help."

Two male researchers flanked Yongzao. "Shuwen, we're leaving dinner to you. Feel free to ask us any questions!"

Researchers working at the Yamanashi Research Institute are all elites, so it's essential to cultivate good relationships with them.

Li Shuwen squatted down in front of the Torchic and patted its head.

"Torchic, hello, I'll be your trainer from now on."

The turkey jumped up excitedly, "Gamo!"

Torchic happily ran around Li Shuwen once, clearly enjoying its new trainer.

They are far better than the four lifeless researchers.

Li Shuwen went to the kitchen and found that there were plenty of ingredients in the refrigerator, which would make it easy for him to show off his cooking skills.

The four researchers took a deep breath as they smelled the delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen.

"It's been a long time since I've smelled the aroma of food at this time of day."

……

At the dinner table, Dr. Yamanashi praised Li Shuwen's choice.

"Blazing Chicken, the final evolution of Torchic, has amazing jumping ability and its leg techniques are no less than Hitmonlee's. It will be of great help to you when you take over the Veilgate Gym."

Li Shuwen nodded. "Doctor, what kind of experiment are the turkeys conducting?"

The four researchers were engrossed in their food, while only Dr. Yamanashi and Li Shuwen were chatting.

Dr. Yamanashi explained, "I'm researching the evolution of the same Pokémon in different regions and what regional differences exist. According to my research, each region has a different energy field."

"Even the same Pokémon can have different skills and abilities depending on where it lives."

"Therefore, I collaborated with Dr. Odamaki, who studies environmental ecology, on this project."

After dinner, Dr. Yamanashi and his team went to conduct other research, while Li Shuwen obtained the turkey's availability and began to build a relationship with it.

Li Shuwen took Torchic directly to the backyard meadow where the Primeape had just battled.

"Torchbear, let me see the skills you can use."

Although the research institute has comprehensive records, Li Shuwen's demonstration of the turkey was actually a process of building a bond.

The turkey nodded and first opened its mouth to spew out a burst of brilliant sparks.

Meanwhile, a very influential noblewoman called Dr. Yamanashi's private phone. Dr. Yamanashi took it out and was somewhat surprised.

"Dr. Mustard Green, what brings you to call me?"

Dr. Mustard said, "I heard from Cynthia that you have a study on fiery monkeys and need her help to collect data on some deceased monkeys in the Padia region?"

"I know perfectly well that Cynthia has no idea about Forsaken Monkeys. I can tell from her expression that it was that kid who told her, right?"

Although they spent relatively little time together, Dr. Yamanashi could tell that Li Shuwen was an outstanding young man. "Shuwen is a good young man, and it's normal for friends to help each other."

Dr. Mustard smiled. "I'm not complaining about that kid; I'm planning to have you give me a push."

"Add fuel to the fire?" Dr. Yamanashi raised an eyebrow.

Dr. Mustard smiled and said, "Cynthia isn't even willing to reveal her true identity right now. If things continue like this, when will I ever see Cynthia get married?"

"So, I hope you can find a way to include that kid in this data collection operation for the abandoned monkeys, so that the two of you can spend more time together."

"That way we can spark a connection as quickly as possible."

Dr. Yamanashi frowned slightly. "I think young people should let things take their natural course. If we elders interfere rashly, it might backfire."

"Kai Zi Lan, don't worry."

Dr. Mustard's tone was somewhat anxious, "How can I not be anxious? Look at Kikuko, after becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings, she has been pursuing becoming the Four Heavenly Kings champion."

"As a result, Kikuko never got married in her life, and now Cynthia has become one of the Elite Four. I'm afraid she'll also never get married in order to become the Elite Four champion!"

"No matter what, you have to arrange for both of them to go on the mission together."

Since Dr. Mustard has put it this way, Dr. Yamanashi naturally can't refuse.

"Okay, I'll try to arrange it."

"Thanks, Yamanashi. Whether the two young people get together or not, I'll buy you a drink."

Dr. Mustard was at his wits' end; even choosing an ice cream flavor for his granddaughter took him more than an hour.

If you let her choose a man, I don't know how many years it would take.

However, when it comes to Pokémon battles, he is incredibly decisive in giving commands.

Dr. Yamanashi's eyes darted around, and he actually came up with a pretty good idea.

Now we are just waiting for the researchers and students in the Padiya region to send the information about the abandoned monkeys to the Yamanashi Research Institute.

At that time, Dr. Yamanashi will be able to make the arrangements.

Perhaps if Shuwen and Cynthia went on an adventure in the Padia region together, they might actually spark a romance.

Li Shuwen also let the Scaly Dragon, Bad Frog, Fire Monkey and Torchick get to know each other on the grass, which led to nighttime training.

Li Shuwen never expected that coming to the Yamanashi Research Institute to find ways to improve the Primal Torchic would lead to the unexpected discovery of such an enthusiastic and lively Torchic.

After evolving, Kommo-o is no longer as docile and cute as it was when it was Heartscale. Its aggressive side begins to show, and its vigorous vitality makes it difficult for Kommo-o to stay quietly in one place.

Back in his room, lying on his single bed, Li Shuwen began his second Pokémon simulation.

[System, begin simulation!]

[Random attributes have been initiated...]

The random result is: Insect attribute!

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "Insect-type?"

It's said that the Bug type is the weakest, but the Bug type might actually be more likely to achieve good results.
