However, even for the current Su Shu, he might only know that the Certificate of Kingship can cause Slowpoke to evolve, but the actual reason why Slowpoke evolved into Dumb King is a more important topic of research.
Fang Yuan had some guesses, but he dared not be sure.
If he could thoroughly research it, even without the Certificate of Kingship, human Trainers could evolve Slowpoke into Dumb King through other similar methods.
What Fang Yuan needed to do now was not just to present an evolutionary item like the Beautiful Scales such as Beauty God Perfume, but to propose a new concept accompanied by a published paper. Only in this way would he have a chance to obtain a special award, just like the researcher who created the Lava Amplifier and Electricity Amplifier.
Drip…
"Confirmed Beauty Degree at 165, 164, 167, 164, 163, 167."
Rotom took a break from the Fossil Resuscitation Device research to help Fang Yuan check and offered a set of data.
By now, Fang Yuan had discerned that the essence of Beauty Degree was a manifestation of the Mental Energy field.
With this idea, combined with the nutritional substances of the Blue Energy Block and previous research on Emotional Energy, as well as his own Power of the Heart, Fang Yuan had already helped Rotom master a technique to quantify the Beauty Degree values through radio waves.
At the moment, a simple device based on this technology had been made, which Fang Yuan called the Beauty Value Detection Device.
This device, which would also be showcased along with the Beauty God Perfume at the upcoming event, had a value to the academic community that was even higher than that of the perfume.
"All pink, perfectly consistent," Fang Yuan said, holding the mobile phone-like Beauty Value Detection Device. He nodded; due to time constraints and immature technology, the device was only a simplified version that could roughly determine the range of Beauty Degree values through a few colors and was not as detailed as Rotom's readings, but it was sufficient nonetheless.
The evolutionary condition for Ugly Fish was the strength of the Mental Energy field reaching a certain level. These six Ugly Fish were very close, needing just an external stimulus. Beauty God Perfume was a great enhancer; however, it was not yet time for the Ugly Fish to evolve.
Gurulu~~~~ Gurulu~~~~ Gurulu~~~~
Looking at the expectant Ugly Fish swimming in the tank, Fang Yuan smiled gently and said, "Don't be anxious. In just one more day, you'll evolve into the most beautiful Elf Meinas in front of a huge audience."
Meanwhile, a special tool called the Elf Fossil Revival Device was also gradually being perfected by Fang Yuan and Rotom.
Fang Yuan had reason to believe that after solving some problems, his next visit to Nightmare Island, with the help of Darkrai's power, would increase the chances of Fossil Resurgence to over sixty percent.
As for the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, with the improvement of the Elf Fossil Revival Device, Fang Yuan also assigned it a new mission…
But during this time, the most tired one was definitely Rotom. As a human, Fang Yuan had limited energy and research abilities, but the mobile phone Rotom, with its computing power surpassing that of computers, could entirely take the place of a whole research team. Therefore, most research tasks were carried out by it.
Beauty God Perfume, the Beauty Value Detection Device, Inferno Shock Turbo Guards, analysis of new types of Energy Blocks—although all these were proposed by Fang Yuan, Rotom contributed greatly to their execution. Without the theories grounding them, Fang Yuan alone could not have turned them into achievements.
The execution power of the mobile phone Rotom perfectly complemented Fang Yuan's novel theoretical knowledge, forming a synergistic relationship. For Fang Yuan and his current team, Rotom had indeed become an indispensable member.
Despite the busy research work, Rotom found joy in its tasks. Rotoms that graduated from Rotom Academy all had one ultimate goal—to surpass the Rotom at Xie Qingyi's side and become the strongest Rotom.
With Fang Yuan, the mobile phone Rotom saw great hope. The presence of Fang Yuan not only allowed it to surpass Qingyi's Rotom, but even gave it the potential to become the most special existence in the history of Pokémon. Most importantly, by Fang Yuan's side, Rotom had witnessed many miracles and desired to keep witnessing more.
On Nightmare Island, when Rotom was dragged into the Nightmare World by Darkrai without meeting Fang Yuan, its experiences were nowhere near as exciting as they are now.

Fang Yuan had already donned his Researcher's white lab coat, ready to go.

At this moment, the parking lot outside the Tokyo International Conference Center was incredibly crowded, with representatives from 101 companies across 19 Asian countries, all set to showcase their products today and tomorrow at the conference center.
For Fang Yuan, this was his first time attending such a grand event, and unlike Pokémon battles, this conference evoked a particularly special feeling in him.
Not long after, Chinese enterprises led by Dawn Group and Blue Moon Company entered the venue, accompanied by the almost invisible boss of Glamour Contest Company, Fang Yuan.
"This edition of the Asian Regional Pokémon World Expo judging panel consists of experts and professors from various associations under The Pokémon Alliance. As usual, they are all Westerners."
"The order of product demonstrations follows the sequence of countries. As this conference is being held in Tokyo, Japanese corporations will present first, followed by those from Hua Nation..."
With Professor Ye's reminders in mind, Fang Yuan's expression remained calm. According to the schedule, he should be able to present this morning, which meant he wouldn't have to endure any unnecessary waiting.
Inside the venue, corporate teams from Japan, Korea, India, Singapore, Turkey, Iran, and other countries were also making their entrance.
Every company had its designated seating area with a clear view of the central stage.
The seats for the several companies from Hua Nation were naturally adjacent to each other. Since the teams had different numbers of participants, the size of their seating areas differed as well. Fang Yuan sat next to Blue Moon Company's team, with Dawn Group's team beside them.
"Professor Ye... and..."
Upon arrival, the head Breeder from Dawn Group came over to greet and converse with Professor Ye. For this event, Dawn Group was showcasing new achievements in the field of breeding, which was why a Breeder was leading their team. To some extent, the products Fang Yuan was showing—Energy Blocks and Beauty God Perfume—were also more closely aligned with the field of breeding than with research.
However, products like Energy Block manufacturing machines, Fossil Resuscitation Devices, and Beauty Value Detection Devices leaned more towards the research field.
After greeting Professor Ye and others, the surnamed Zhang Breeder politely acknowledged Fang Yuan, who at a young age and seemingly accompanying an elder for experience, was a legendary figure in the competition. As a Breeder from Dawn Group, Zhang Hongwen would inevitably recognize Fang Yuan... Dawn Group's heiress also participated in the world championship as an alternate, having secured the spot, and the young man before him was the strongest contender of that selection, even labelled as "The Fifth King."
At the mere age of nineteen, he was already considered a prime candidate for the true Four Heavenly Kings over the next decade.
"Dr. Zhang," said Professor Ye with a smile, greeting him. Dr. Zhang Hongwen, with a Ph.D. in Pokémon Breeding from Imperial City University, was an old acquaintance of his.
"Hello, Dr. Zhang," Fang Yuan greeted as well.
As the participants from various enterprises interacted with each other, the judging panel had largely taken their seats. They were led by America's top Breeder, Dr. Aidan, and England's top Researcher, Dr. Oddjob, as part of a five-member judging team.
In that venue, professional Breeders and Official Researchers were common, with plenty of senior researchers as well, and doctorate holders were quite ordinary, all holding prestigious degrees from well-known universities.
Catching the gaze of Fang Yuan's group, the Japanese Yuanyue Group and Suzuki Group were also looking over. The speech from yesterday's exchange had evidently attracted attention to Fang Yuan.
However, by now, both corporations were also aware of Fang Yuan's deeper identity...
"It's about to start," said Professor Ye as he glanced at his watch and looked up.
This time, the method of product presentation remained traditional, with each enterprise taking turns on stage. Now, as the host took to the central stage, and with his opening words, the entire venue instantly fell silent.
Fang Yuan's gaze turned to the main presentation stage, his heart pounding with anticipation... He wondered how this first participation in such a grand conference as a researcher would change his status and identity.
