Pokémon: I have a game menu

In the following days, Naoki spent most of his time every day in the Pokémon Research Institute.

The first is the research on Xerneas. Naoki learned the difference between legendary Pokémon and ordinary Pokémon from Xerneas. Normally, in reality, it is the same as in the game. The racial value of legendary Pokémon is higher than that of ordinary Pokémon, and there is no completely overwhelming power gap.

However, the Legendary Beasts have a special ability to extract power from the outside world. They can store energy in their bodies and use it in battle. This kind of strong energy accumulated over a long period of time is basically impossible for ordinary Pokémon to match with their own strength. The only possibility that the Legendary Beast will run out of this energy is to encounter another hostile Legendary Beast, and both sides use this energy to fight.

Xerneas and Yveltal had almost used up most of their energy.

The only way to restore this energy is to start over again and rely on the accumulation of time.

Xerneas seems to have discovered a new method these days, which is to obtain some energy from Naoki. In Xerneas's view, the process of mega evolution is actually the process of Pokémon obtaining energy from the trainer. The Mega Evolution Bracelet and Mega Evolution Stone are the medium of this process, and Xerneas, as a legendary beast, does not need this medium.

The most important thing is that Naoki took Arceus Transformation Potion Type B, which gave him almost endless energy. As long as he stayed by Naoki's side, Xerneas could accumulate energy faster than usual. And there was no need to worry about having a bad impact on Naoki during this process.

Although it was not a convenient method, it was a good thing after all. At least the next time they met Yveltal, Xerneas would have an almost absolute advantage.

After talking about Xerneas, Naoki's main task was to help Professor Blatano research Mega Evolution. After all, Naoki was the first person in Kalos who could use Mega Evolution with multiple Pokémon. Professor Blatano unceremoniously pulled Naoki over to use him as a tool.

As for why Dr. Blatano knew this, it was simply because he had used it when challenging Yingxue Gym before and was seen by Doraba, who then told Dr. Blatano.

Naoki didn't know what Dr. Blatano had researched, but he thought Mega Evolution was a bit mysterious. Besides the Mega Evolution Bracelet and Mega Evolution Stone, he couldn't say what other necessary conditions there were. It was probably just the bond between the trainer and the Pokémon.

The super evolution battle system was just getting started at that time, and even the top people in the alliance had not yet fully popularized it. When Naoki challenged the gym, only Korne and Defu had super evolution bracelets and super evolution stones. Naoki didn't know about the Four Heavenly Kings, at least they didn't have them in the game.

Because it was just getting started, even Naoki's vague statement was considered very important experience by Dr. Bratano. Naoki could even get a signature position in Dr. Bratano's newly published paper.

In addition to these, Naoki himself also published his first paper as a research assistant, "The Influence of Personality on Pokémon Abilities and Tastes". This paper became famous under the joint promotion of Sato Toru and Dr. Blatano, and many Pokémon trainers, especially Pokémon breeders, knew the name of Sato Naoki.

In fact, this paper can be regarded as something that game players more or less know. Personality will affect the abilities of Pokémon. For example, a stubborn Pokémon has a higher physical attack and a lower special attack than normal. It is easier to obtain physical attack effort values, but it is more difficult to obtain special attack effort values.

As for the influence of personality on taste, only those who have tried the Grand Tournament game may understand it. Generally speaking, attack corresponds to spicy taste, defense corresponds to sour taste, special attack corresponds to astringent taste, special defense corresponds to bitter taste, and speed corresponds to sweet taste. Taking the stubborn personality as an example, stubborn Pokémon usually prefer spicy taste and dislike astringent taste. Of course, this is not absolute. For example, Naoki's Tutu has a cheerful personality, but it does not particularly like sweet things, but it does not like astringent taste.

As time went by, Sato Toru's research paper on Xerneas was published. This was the first research paper in the Pokémon world to focus on a legendary Pokémon, and its impact on the research community can be imagined.

But this also brings some potential threats closer. Legendary Pokémon... There will always be some people who can't hold back. Like some brainless Pokémon collectors, profit-seeking Pokémon hunters, and those underground organizations that attempt to use legendary Pokémon to do something big.

Naoki didn't care about it. He hadn't slacked off in training during this period, and his Pokémon's level had also improved. With Xerneas as his backup, Naoki didn't think he had anything to worry about. The most reassuring thing was that after taking Arceus Transformation Potion Type B, his physical strength had improved. Naoki was now comparable to Satoshi in the anime version, and even better. He was still alive and kicking after being hit by moves like Flamethrower and 100,000 Volts. So Naoki didn't have to worry about anyone letting Pokémon attack him.

After Toru Sato's paper is published, Naoki plans to go out for special training for a while. There is still some time before the league competition, and Naoki does not expect to get first place, but he must make it to the top eight or top sixteen anyway.

......

"Hey, Mom! When are you going to send Tutu Dog back to me? Your trip over there should be over by now!"

"Don't worry, I'll help you train Tutu Dog and return it to you before this year's league competition!"

"..."

"By the way, Xiaozhi, do you want to come to the Hoenn region? Watch mom's game live?"

"Forget it. It's too far from Kalos to Hoenn. Besides, it's too hot in the summer. I don't want to go."

"Haha, the beach in Shuijing City is full of beautiful bikini ladies!"

"...If I say I won't go, I won't go."

"It is said that Devon Company has produced a new type of Poké Ball!"

"Not interested. If it's for Poké Balls, wouldn't it be better for me to go to the Johto region and buy special handmade Poké Balls?"

"Xiaozhi, you are becoming more and more boring."

"If you have nothing else, I'll hang up now. Remember to teleport Tutu Dog back as soon as possible!"
