A person abandoned by the Pokémon world

Both the vine snake and the baby duck are standing on Dr. Yew's instrument.

She thought that the problem of the vine snake with abnormally developed hands might be more serious than that of the duckling, so she paid less attention to the duckling which looked ordinary.

She was also staring at the data of the Vine Snake on the feedback instrument. The data was so much beyond what she had ever seen in her life that it made her speechless.

She had never seen a Pokémon with statistics comparable to Snakehead's.

"A very perfect vine snake, perhaps even too perfect."

This is the final conclusion drawn by Dr. Yew. Logically speaking, the vine snake itself does not resist evolution.

Judging from the situation of the vine snake, it has already completed its evolution at this moment, and is no longer maintaining the appearance of a vine snake.

"What went wrong?" Yew murmured as he stared at the data on the display.

"Doctor, do you think it's because there are too many mixed energies in the body of the vine snake?"

Seeing that Dr. Yew looked embarrassed, Li An also expressed his own guess.

"The energy of the system is too complex?"

Dr. Yew repeated the new term, which touched upon her blind spot in knowledge, as it was the first time she had heard of it.

"It's like this. Because of an accident, Fujin Snake temporarily learned the Arm Hammer and Sky Dragon Meteor."

"Because of this, there are Fighting and Dragon-type energies remaining in his body, so I wonder if it is because of these two types of energy that are hindering the evolution of the Vine Snake?"

"Is this your own guess?"

"Yeah!" Li An nodded.

"I didn't expect you to have the qualifications to be a researcher. Are you interested in learning from me and becoming a doctor in the future?" Dr. Yew invited with a smile.

"So my guess is..."

"That's totally wrong!" Li An's smile froze on his face.

"However, wild speculation is indeed a prerequisite for becoming an excellent doctor, just like our Dr. Zhengumo."

"Monarch Snake can learn the Fighting-type Rock Crushing skill and the Dragon-type Dragon Tail skill, so the presence of these two energies in Vine Snake's body will not affect his evolution."

"On the contrary, it will enable him to master these two energies more skillfully after his evolution."

"Let's get back to the topic." Dr. Yew raised three fingers.

"There are three reasons why Pokémon cannot evolve."

"First, the Pokémon itself doesn't want to."

"Second, the Pokémon is carrying or has accidentally eaten an item called the Stone of Unchanging."

"Third, Pokémon have physical defects. Dr. Yew seemed to feel that what he said was a bit too full and not rigorous, and added:

"So far, including in other regions, the Pokémon that cannot evolve all fall into these three reasons."

"Then the Ivy Snake is considered to have a physical defect?!"

Li An was shocked because he was sure that the first type of vine snake did not meet the requirements.

As for the second one, it is even more impossible. The Stone of Unchanging, a rare item, can only be dug up at Mount Ross in the Unova region. It is very rare, so it is possible that it has not been shipped for years.

The predecessor had just reached Qibao City, still far away from Mount Ross, so it was impossible for him to touch the Stone of Unchange.

"That's not the case. Everything about Vine Snake's body is normal. To be more precise, everything about it is abnormal."

"Then isn't what you said just nonsense?" Li An forced himself not to say this. After all, he was asking for help, and this sentence was a bit impolite.

"How old is your vine snake?"

"Huh?" The topic jumped so quickly that Li An didn't react for a moment.

"I asked you how old this vine snake is. How old is it?" Dr. Yew repeated, this time asking more details.

"I don't know either, but this is the one I took away from you, Doctor. You should know it, right?" Li An answered weakly.

"Uh-huh?"

"Are you sure this is the vine snake you took from me!?"

Now it was Dr. Yew's turn to be shocked, although she did use some of her privileges to transfer the three best qualified ones in the alliance at that time.

But even so, there is still a world of difference compared to the vine snake in front of her. If she is told that the two vine snakes are one, she will not want to believe it.

"Something happened in the meantime, so he became what he is now, but he is indeed the vine snake that was taken away from here."

"If that's the case, then I know."

Dr. Yew stood up and stretched, then picked up the Ivy Snake in the transparent instrument. Seeing that the Ivy Snake did not reject him, Dr. Yew believed it.

The instrument was sound-blocked, so Teng Teng Snake did not hear the conversation between Li Ang and Dr. Yew, but he could still tell something from Li Ang's expression.

Li Ang's expression was not very good, and Teng Teng Snake's heart sank.

"Don't worry, the child is still young. In about four months, he will evolve naturally." Dr. Yew said after thinking for a while.

"Doctor, evolution is also related to age?"

This was the first time that Lee Ang had heard of this statement. After all, in his previous life, all he had known about Pokémon were games and animations. In the game, Pokémon would naturally evolve when a certain level was reached.

In anime, there are battles to protect stupid things, to win a game, for love, and even for the foot of evolution, but there is no aspect related to age.

"Of course! The evolution of Pokémon is a growth. Every time they evolve, they become more mature."

"Although they are growing fast, it doesn't mean they can achieve success overnight."

"For example, it takes about one and a half years for vine snakes to evolve into green vine snakes, and about two years for monarch snakes."

"Of course, it's not enough to just be old enough. The energy in their bodies must be enough to support their evolution, otherwise it will take longer."

"But judging by your vine snake, he will evolve naturally in due time."

"So, the reason why Vine Snake doesn't evolve is simply because he's too small, and there's nothing wrong with his body?"

"Yes, this is a very healthy child. It can be seen that you take good care of him." Dr. Yew gave an affirmative answer and praised Li Ang.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Such a voice came from behind Dr. Yew. It was the baby duck in another device. Seeing that the vine snake had gone out, he could no longer stay there.

He began to hit the device with his wings, but luckily he knew his limits and didn't use too much force, so it only made a noise.

"What about the duckling, Doc? What's his situation? He should be old enough, right?"

What Li An said was a bit vague, and he was not sure how old the baby duck was.

"Oh, there are also baby ducks. I forgot about them." Dr. Yew slapped his head and turned to look at the data of the baby ducks.

However, she was shooting at Snake's head. Snake couldn't stand it and struggled away to find Li Ang.

Compared to the Vine Snake, the Baby Duck's qualifications are particularly mediocre.

It was not until Dr. Yew saw the instrument showing that there was a foreign object in the duckling's throat that her expression became extremely solemn.

"Bai An, go and bring the baby duck over here."

Yew's tone was particularly serious, which made Li An feel uneasy.

"Open your mouth."

When I brought the baby over, I saw Dr. Yew squatting down and speaking.

The baby duck did not cooperate. After Li Ang repeated it, the baby duck finally opened its mouth.

Dr. Yew had taken the flashlight in his hand at some point. With the help of the light, he was able to see the foreign object clearly. It was a red piece of meat that looked like a pocket.

This is an organ that only certain fire-type Pokémon grow, a fire sac used to store flames.

In addition, the red crosses on the body data are even more shocking. The feathers and skin are dry and lack water nourishment.

The wings are too weak to support long-term flight.

If a duck's feet are too strong, it may not be able to float in the water.

Data from the baby duck's body showed that it lacked more than a dozen trace elements. Compared with the vine snake, this baby duck seemed like it was raised by a stepmother.

"Doc, what's up with the baby duck?"

"This is terrible! This is terrible! Any Pokémon pulled from the wild will have better results than this duckling."

Although Li An was prepared, he couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart: "Doctor, do you have any way to remedy this?"

"Of course there is, but he may need surgery before he can remedy the situation."

"He has an organ in his throat that usually only grows on fire-type Pokémon. It would be a good thing to get this organ on any Pokémon that can learn fire-type skills."

"But for the duckling who can't learn fire skills and has no fire energy in his body, it's more harmful than beneficial, so..."

"Wait a minute, Doctor, what if the baby duck has fire energy in its body?" Li Ang interrupted Dr. Yew before he finished speaking.

"There is fire energy, how..."

Before he could even utter the word "maybe", Dr. Yew stopped talking abruptly.

Because she was shocked to discover that the data showed that the baby duck did have fire energy in its body.

Very little. If I have to describe it, it's like the water stains left on a cup after the water is poured out of it.

This pitifully small amount of fire energy is mixed among the four energies of water, flying, general, and ice.

It's not very obvious, but it's undeniably present inside the duckling.

Perhaps the existence of fire-type energy was too shocking, causing Professor Yew to overlook the fact that the existence of these types of energy was different from that of other Pokémon.

"He has fire skills?" Dr. Yew felt that he had experienced a year's worth of shocks today.

"A few days ago."

Li An was a little embarrassed. This was also his own fault. Li An explained the situation of the baby duck in detail.

However, Li An had some reservations and hesitated about learning the skills.

Fortunately, Dr. Yew did not ask any further questions and was fooled by Ang Lee, so his prepared remarks were not used.

In order to justify the skills he modified, he thought of many excuses, such as the special abilities that were awakened unexpectedly, like the Red Fighter.

It’s not too much to be a teacher and help Pokémon learn skills, right?

Of course there are other explanations but they are not perfect, such as encountering a divine beast and learning it with the help of the divine beast. It's a pity that none of them were used.

Ang Lee did not mention the child's fear of heights and inability to swim. He still had to give his child some face in front of outsiders.

Dr. Yew is indeed a professional. When Li Ang mentioned that he was born with only general energy, Dr. Yew knew what was going on.

This belongs to the third situation, internal energy deficit due to physical defects.

"After learning the skills, I gained certain energy in my body, although there is no precedent."

"But from what I can judge, the duckling's situation is the same as these Pokémon right now." Yew Hiro said as he pulled up several sets of pictures.

Lily root doll and Miss Skirt, kapok ball and wind fairy, Dream Eater and Dream Eclipse.

The moment Lee Ang saw these pictures, he immediately thought of the common point between them: they are all Pokémon that can only evolve using Evolution Stones.

"Doctor, you mean that the duckling needs evolution stones to evolve now? But what kind of evolution stones does the duckling need to evolve?"

"Oh? You have a good knowledge reserve."

"Then let me test you. Do you know what role the Evolution Stone plays in the evolution of these Pokémon?"

"This...I don't know."

"It's a stimulating effect. Most Pokémon like Snakehead can evolve without any external elements."

"Every time they become stronger, the energy in their bodies becomes more active, and it will not calm down until the moment of evolution."

"As for the Pokémon that have evolved with the Evolution Stone, the energy of their type will remain in a very peaceful state until they come into contact with the Evolution Stone."

"The energy of the evolution stone is violent. When it flows into the Pokémon's body, it will drive the energy of those inactive types."

"And they will complete their evolution. This is the case with the baby duck right now. The energy in his body is too peaceful, so he needs external energy to intervene and stimulate it. Once it becomes active, the baby duck will naturally complete its evolution."

"However, I don't recommend that the current ducklings evolve!"
