"I wonder what attribute I will awaken, Rotom," eventually, only Rotom was left.
Before eating the Awakening Fruit, Rotom began to speculate.
Theoretically speaking, since its primary attribute is Electric and its secondary attribute can freely switch between six types, there's a great chance for it to awaken any of these seven attributes.
However, Rotom shared the same thought as Fang Yuan, still thinking that it would be best to awaken the Psychic Type.
This way, its spiritual power would see some enhancement, albeit more or less, which would improve its computational ability and reaction speed. In turn, whether conducting research or playing games with Eevee, both could be strengthened...
After experiencing the events with Milotic, Glutton, and Dragonite, all the Pokemon turned their attention to Rotom.
Eevee was secretly hopeful, while Monferno, after a moment of surprise, also began to look forward in anticipation.
Please let it awaken superpower so that good brother Rotom can help it figure out how not to get banned when activating Thunder Flame Mode.
"Go ahead and eat," Fang Yuan said, holding the phone in his hand, and Rotom's true form emerged from it.
Comparing its mouth size to the size of the Awakening Fruit, it eventually fell silent and went straight into the fruit.
Subsequently, the Awakening Fruit slowly turned from fresh to rotten...
After a while, Rotom flew out of the Awakening Fruit.
"What is it?!" As Rotom flew out of the fruit, Fang Yuan and several Pokemon asked curiously.
"This..." Rotom was puzzled and quite disappointed.
As a formless Ghost-type Pokemon, incredibly, it actually awakened...
Rotom extended an ionized blue translucent electrical arm, which in the next second, was shrouded in a layer of silvery luster, appearing more substantiated.
The effect resembled when some Pokemon use moves like Iron Tail, Steel Wing, or Metal Claw.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan and other Pokemon like Eevee's eyes switched from anticipation to disillusioned small dots...
Rotom, awakening steel, what kind of move was that?
"Ah!!!!" At the same time, Monferno hollered internally like a prairie dog, what the hell, why did Rotom awaken an attribute that's weak to fire and fighting? It's supposed to research the Thunder Flame Mode for me! It's not like it will ever battle with Rotom, dang it!! Clearly, the Awakening Fruit is targeting me!!
"This." Fang Yuan coughed dryly, forget it, if it's steel then it's steel. Maybe it will be able to develop some decent abilities in the future, like transforming into a Gundam robot or fusing with Self-detonating Magnetic Monster or something.
"Alright, break's over, we should head out now," Fang Yuan changed the topic, recalling the despondent Monferno and Milotic, who had just enjoyed the show, and decided to embark once again.
Having increased their strength considerably, it was time to provide support to the others.
..............
Due to Fang Yuan's presence, the exploration of the secret location became extremely efficient.
Merely four days later.
The primary dangers of the small secret location in White Fish Village were almost entirely eliminated.
Seven Professional Trainers, including one Master Level Trainer leading the team, encountered almost no difficulties while exploring Bulbasaur Forest in peace.
After all, Fang Yuan could also be considered a Master Level Trainer, which made for a combination of two Masters and five Professional Trainers.
And the leaders of the Carnivorous Flower and Venusaur Community were only ordinary Master-strength, much weaker than the Giant Venusaur, and did not take much effort to handle.
The only minor problem they encountered was that, even after regaining consciousness, Carnivorous Flowers and Venusaur remained very aggressive.
Next, Bulbasaur Forest could become a protected area, but the aggressive Pokemon like Carnivorous Flower would probably need to be restrained by ranger defense lines, sealed off, marked as strictly no-go areas due to the danger in the wild.
During this time, as the Professional Trainers explored, they also discovered the exceptional richness in Pokemon resources within this small secret location. It had various kinds of rare plants, medicinal herbs, two Grass Stone mines, and, apart from that, numerous rare tree fruits of Bulbasaur Forest.
Among them, the Awakening Fruits were the most valuable.
In response to the Awakening Fruit, Fang Yuan even found time to write a simple paper, and without surprise, the credit for discovering a new kind of Tree Fruit fell to Fang Yuan.
This paper was quite sophisticated, and Fang Yuan even incorporated the theories of the deceased Chen Shengcong. Although Chen Shengcong, the bastard, was good for nothing, his theory on Eevee evolution that he proposed while impersonating Professor Xu Qingmu made a lot of sense.
Using Awakened power to determine the most suitable evolutionary direction for Eevee.
After Fang Yuan published this paper, it was estimated to help many Trainers who were raising Eevee.
Now, Fang Yuan's team could be described as having average Awakened power, and compared to Super Ability Masters and Fire Masters, perhaps calling Fang Yuan an 'Awakening Master' would be more appropriate...
Outside White Fish Village, using the rare free half-day, Fang Yuan pondered.
In the World Championships, as he swept through the competitors from various countries, his Pokémon's Awakening Power Moves were bound to be revealed. At that time, a trend for pursuing these techniques was sure to be stirred up. Awakening Fruit might even become a resource as valuable as Evolutionary Stones.
And he would be the Awakening King!
With wealth, fame, and strength, the man who had it all, "Awakening King" Fang Yuan, made a statement after becoming the World Champion that made all Trainers worldwide covet Awakened power. "Do you want my strength? If you want it, go buy Awakening Fruit. All the secrets are contained within." And thus, the world welcomed the dawn of the "Great Awakening Era"!
In the times of the "Great Awakening Era," countless Trainers began saving money, scrimping and saving in search of the grand treasure "Awakening Secret Manual" left by the legendary Awakening King, Fang Yuan...
"ojbk! If the Awakening Fruit is confirmed to be cultivable in large quantities, I'll just endorse an advertisement, a few billion for the advertising fee would do," Fang Yuan chuckled, having even thought of the copy for the advertisement.
...
Meanwhile, although most of the hazards in the Secret location had been eliminated, Fang Yuan's Practicum Professional Trainer assessment task had yet to come to an end.
The end would come only when the Secret location was fully integrated with Earth, and during this period, Fang Yuan was required to stay in White Fish Village.
After eliminating the hazards, the Professional Trainer's tasks had actually become quite scarce.
This time, Fang Yuan had earned nearly millions in merits, meaning he could directly take resources of this value from the Secret location.
The resources weren't the main thing; the main thing was merit, a Professional Trainer's exclusive achievement and contribution. It was essential for promotion to One-Star Professional Trainer, Two-Star Professional Trainer, Three-Star Professional Trainer, and even key to holding important positions within the Trainer Associations, tied to authority, its value not measurable in money.
With fewer tasks, Fang Yuan wasn't idle but spent his time training Pokémon and writing papers for fun.
With so many Ugly Fish in White Fish Village, apart from the paper on Awakened power, Fang Yuan also refined the paper on the evolution methods of Ugly Fish.
During this period, if one were to say whether anything significant had happened, there indeed was something: Rotom, after becoming a Steel Attribute Spirit, suddenly came up with a bold concept.
"Rotom!!!" "Rotom!!"
Rotom called Fang Yuan and the recently downcast Monferno together to share its idea.
"If we say the core of the Thunder Flame Mode is the turbo mode, perhaps we could reference the previous Inferno Shock Microwave, as well as Monferno's physical condition, to create a battle accessory exclusive to it as an aid, Rotom."
"The function of this accessory is to assist Monferno in mastering the Thunder Flame Mode Rotom~~ This could be the key step for Monferno to finally control the Thunder Flame Mode, much like the Bone Staff of Fury from before."
In front of Fang Yuan and Monferno, Rotom projected the Inferno Shock Microwave modified from the battle microwave, labeled 1.0.
Labeled 2.0 behind it was a set of golden and red interwoven Steel Armor, noted by Rotom as the Inferno Shock Turbo Armor.
As for the last labeled 3.0 final product, a prototype that resembled wrist guards, Rotom noted it as Inferno Shock Turbo Guards.
"If we can research this guard, we can use it to reduce the burden on Monferno when it enters Thunder Flame Mode Rotom," said Rotom solemnly. After awakening as Steel, Rotom had been thinking about how to develop this Awakened attribute, asking Fang Yuan for advice during the process. Fang Yuan proposed the idea of transforming into a robot… This gave Rotom a great epiphany. While transforming into a robot might not be possible… steel properties can be researched, and if not a robot, then a robot can be built!
From today on, it would not only be Research Assistant Rotom but also Great Scientist, Great Inventor Rotom.
"Inferno Shock Turbo Guards? Creating a custom Elf Tool?" Fang Yuan stroked his chin, considering that indeed, many Elf Tools were developed by Researchers, so why couldn't they do the same?
In the Pokémon World, scientists were able to research Mechanical legendary sprites, so by leveraging the power cores of Zekrom and Zekrom, combined with Rotom's electric and fire attributes, the development of the Inferno Shock Turbo Guards wasn't an impossible dream!
"We can give it a try, I can provide 10 million as research funds for now, if that's not enough, I'll figure something out. Go for it boldly," Fang Yuan said.
As Fang Yuan and Rotom talked, Monferno, standing to the side, had already become stunned. After all the suffering… Fang Yuan and his good brother Rotom didn't forget about it.
