Chapter 25 Concealment
Cynthia ran out of the room, and after she calmed down, she took out her phone and called Dr. Yamanashi.
"Cynthia, it's been a long time since you called me. How have you been? When are you planning to challenge for the Elite Four title?"
Cynthia smiled. "I plan to officially begin my quest for the Elite Four title at this year's Champion League tournament. I'm confident I can take the championship title in one fell swoop!"
Dr. Yamanashi smiled slightly, his serious face breaking into a smile. "Then I wish you success in advance."
Cynthia shook her head. "Doctor, I called to ask if you know the Primalnade evolution from the Padia region."
"The key to Abandoned Monkey and its evolution, the Fist of Fury skill?"
Professor Yamanashi raised an eyebrow. "I have indeed heard of the Pokémon Forsaken, but there is very little information available. I have several students from the Padilla region."
"After they returned to their hometown, they tried to collect data on the deceased monkeys, but the number of deceased monkeys was very small, and they only lived in some dangerous areas of the Padiya region."
"They were just ordinary researchers and did not have the ability to go deep into dangerous areas to explore the movements of the abandoned monkeys."
Cynthia's eyes shone brightly. "I'll go! Just like when I helped the Doctor collect data on Electivire, Magmortar, and Mega Tyrannosaurus."
"The doctor provides the intelligence, and I'm responsible for bringing them back to the research institute."
Dr. Yamanashi nodded. "If we have an abandoned monkey as a reference, I am confident that I can master a way to harmlessly evolve a Primal Flame into an abandoned monkey within a year."
Dr. Yamanashi was not referring to allowing talented Primeapes to evolve with a certain probability through this method.
Rather, all the Fire Monkeys can evolve by meeting the conditions through the methods he developed.
Most importantly, it's harmless!
There are always some people on the market who claim to have a family heirloom evolution formula. They say that as long as you use this formula, you can evolve your Pokémon and greatly increase its strength.
Professor Yamanashi's daily work involves going to various television stations to educate the public and ordinary trainers about the extent of damage these so-called secret formulas can cause to Pokémon's bodies.
Some secret recipes not only fail to evolve Pokémon, but can also cause lifelong disabilities or even death.
Some secret formulas can indeed lead to evolution, but at the cost of draining the Pokémon's life force.
After evolving, Pokémon die from physical exhaustion within a year and a half, or even three to five months.
If Professor Yamanashi says that this kind of Pokémon evolution doesn't require any conditions.
Evolution can be achieved simply by increasing energy intensity through training and aligning with one's inner self.
And your Pokémon hasn't evolved, no doubt about it!
It's not that Professor Yamanashi is wrong, it's that you, the trainer, are too foggy.
Some Pokémon level up and evolve in a predictable, step-by-step manner.
Some Pokémon are unique, and due to individual differences, some implicit evolutionary conditions have emerged.
The job of a trainer is to detect individual differences and meet these implicit evolutionary conditions.
If you can't do it, you should change careers as soon as possible.
Dr. Yamanashi asked curiously, "Cynthia, how do you know about the Forsaken Monkey, which is now only known in the Padia region?"
"Even I didn't know that Forsaken was an evolution of Primal Monk through training in the Fist of Fury."
Cynthia was also somewhat surprised. "A friend of mine caught a Primeape, and his Primeape seems to have grasped a rudimentary form of the Rage Punch. He hopes to refine it."
"He told me that Primeape can evolve by training in Rage Punch, but it seems to only exist in the Padia region, and asked me if I had any training materials for Rage Punch."
Right, even Professor Yamanashi didn't know about the Primeape evolution information. Li Shuwen has been staying in Veil City, how could he know?
Professor Yamanashi raised an eyebrow. "Your friend seems to possess some secret knowledge, and judging from his thinking, he's very interested in understanding the evolution of Pokémon."
"It's not just about evolving Primeape into Outcast; it's about understanding the causes and consequences of evolution. He has the potential to become a researcher."
"Why don't you ask him if he'd be interested in coming to my research institute as an assistant?"
Cynthia smiled. "He's been busy taking over his family's Veiled Gym lately, so he probably won't have time to be your research assistant, Doctor. Let me ask him."
Dr. Yamanashi nodded. "It's okay if you don't have time, but at least let me collect his data on the Primeape. I want to see how it differs from the Primeape data currently available at the Yamanashi Research Institute."
"I'll have my students collect information on areas in the Padiya region where the abducted monkeys are suspected to be active. Once the information is compiled, I'll send it to you, and then you can head to the Padiya region."
"Capture at least one Forsaken Monkey, and capture as many Inferno Monkeys as you can from the vicinity. The research value of Inferno Monkeys is no less than that of Forsaken Monkeys."
Cynthia calculated the time: "The Champions League tournament starts in four months. Doctor, you'd better collect the data and send it to me as soon as possible."
Dr. Yamanashi assured him, "Don't worry, I'll send you the information within a month."
"As for my friend's Incineroar, I'll give him the phone number of the Yamanashi Research Institute. You can contact him directly, Doctor."
Dr. Yamanashi nodded. "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Cynthia sent a message to Li Shuwen.
[Shark Warrior: After hearing the information you gave me, the Doctor plans to send people to the Padia region to capture the Forsaken Monkey and the Fiery Monkey and bring them back for research.]
[Shark Warrior: The doctor also said you have a researcher's mindset and asked if you wanted to go to the Yamanashi Research Institute to be his assistant.]
Upon receiving the message, Li Shuwen was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Dr. Yamanashi would invite him to be his assistant.
[Dancing Armored Dragon: Thank you for your kind offer, Doctor, but I still prefer the Trainer profession.]
[Dancing Armored Dragon: But if I have the chance, I still hope to go to the Yamanashi Research Institute and study under Dr. Yamanashi for a period of time to enrich my knowledge.]
and many more!
Cynthia suddenly realized a problem: if Li Shuwen went to the Yamanashi Research Institute and talked to Dr. Yamanashi, wouldn't that expose the fact that the Shark Warrior is Cynthia?
Cynthia immediately called Dr. Yamanashi again.
"Cynthia, is there anything else?"
Cynthia pursed her lips. "Actually... my friend doesn't know my true identity yet. When he goes to the Yamanashi Research Institute to learn the Fist of Wrath, I hope the Doctor can help me keep it a secret for a while."
"If he asks about me, just say I'm a trainer sent to you by the Sinnoh League to assist in research."
Dr. Yamanashi frowned slightly. "Alright."
I just don't understand what young people are thinking these days.
But Dr. Yamanashi respected Cynthia's choice.
Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief. She had concealed her identity because she didn't want to disrupt their harmonious and tacit conversation.
[Shark Warrior: By the way, the doctor wants to collect data on your Incineroar. I'll give you the Yamanashi Research Institute's phone number.]
[Dancing Kommo-o: No problem, I'll contact the professor at the Pokémon Center and then teleport Primeape over there.]
Upon receiving the call from Cynthia, Li Shuwen rushed to the Pokémon Center and dialed the number back.
"Hello Professor Yamanashi, I am the Infernape trainer introduced by Shark Warrior. My name is Li Shuwen."
Dr. Yamanashi was momentarily stunned. "Oh, it's you. Hello."
Li Shuwen asked, "Doctor, should I teleport the Infernape over there now?"
Professor Yamanashi waved his hand, "Are you free lately? It's best to have a trainer with you when taking measurements, so that the Pokémon can perform at its best."
