Company?
New Pokémon food?
When Fang Yuan mentioned this, Yoko Suzuki, Ikeda Ryoko, Mikaze Zenji, and Master Chef Ogawa all became curious.
In Yoko Suzuki's mind, Fang Yuan was just a Pokémon Trainer; she had no idea that he also held the identity of a corporate heir!
Could it be that he was here to represent his family's company in the competition?
Mikaze Zenji was also curious about the Hua Nation enterprise that could cultivate such a young person with temperament, speculating which company it might be.
"May I ask..."
Master Chef Ogawa was more direct and immediately inquired about the name of the enterprise behind Fang Yuan.
"Glamour Contest Company..."
There was no point in hiding the company's name; anyone could easily find it by checking the participant list of the Pokémon World Expo, so Fang Yuan just said it outright.
Glamour Contest Company...
Upon Fang Yuan's words, the corners of the four people's mouths twitched.
What kind of ghostly enterprise name was that?
From the sound of it, it seemed to be an enterprise that organized Pokémon competitions?
After Fang Yuan revealed the company name, the four recalled for a long time but had no impression of this company in their minds.
Was it their own ignorance, or was the enterprise truly obscure and unknown?
All four planned to do some thorough investigation once they returned...
"It's just a small company, don't worry too much about it."
Fang Yuan smiled without saying a word, letting them search all they wanted; after all, they would probably only find that it was just a shell company he had registered a few months ago...
............
The exchange cocktail party lasted a whole day, but Fang Yuan left after half a day.
As for gains, he had obtained the business cards of Yoko Suzuki and Mikaze Zenji.
From his interactions with Yoko Suzuki, Fang Yuan vaguely sensed that this rich and beautiful woman seemed to intend to give him some gifts after the conference.
Fang Yuan guessed that it was some form of repayment.
However, with his current wealth, he was no longer so concerned about it; if she could repay him sooner, that would be better...
Sending charcoal in snowy weather is always better than adding flowers to brocade, isn't it...
For the next day and a half, Fang Yuan did not go out again, except for having a meal with Professor Ye and his group, focusing on preparing for the competition.
In the room, Fang Yuan faced a water tank and took out six Special Fairy Balls he carried with him, as usual, released the six Ugly Fish inside and checked their physical condition.
These six Ugly Fish had all been applied for by Fang Yuan from the breeding institutions under the China Trainer Association, meant to coordinate with the product display for this event.
All along, the major breeding and research institutions in Hua Nation had never ceased exploring the natural evolution conditions of Ugly Fish, so it was not difficult for Fang Yuan to apply for a few that met the criteria.
For this showcase, Fang Yuan had three products to exhibit, but they were actually all serving one concept.
The three products were all in service of this concept.
That is, the concept of Beauty Degree.
The reason why countless researchers, breeders, and trainers had been unclear about the evolution principle of Ugly Fish was exactly because of the absence of the concept of Beauty Degree.
The evolution principles of other Pokémon had been basically explored clearly, for instance, Charmander, just naturally train its basic qualities and allow it to grow naturally to meet the evolution condition.
Using most of the nutritional products and Pokémon food on the market, one could breed and evolve a Charmander with no difficulty.
Take Six Tails, for example; natural growth alone could no longer meet its evolution requirements. According to research, Six Tails needed a massive external trigger of special Fire Series Energy to unlock its life's potential.
This external trigger is the Fire Stone, but besides that, some research institutions have successfully simulated special environments that allow these types of Pokémon to evolve without an Evolutionary Stone.
But the requirements are pretty much the same—it's about external stimulation.
This kind of Pokémon, due to their species specificity, can no longer hope to meet the evolution condition through gradual natural growth with regular food or nutritional products, no matter how long they are bred.
However, with a Fire Stone, even a newly born Six Tails could evolve into Nine Tails.
Once the evolution principle of Six Tails was clarified, even without the Fire Stone, humans could use technological means to simulate an evolution site or create evolution devices similar to the Fire Stone.
Magmar to Magmar's evolution method was once a mystery, but after researchers discovered wild Magmar living in magma areas, they immediately surmised that Magmar's evolution condition might not be as simple as Fire Series Energy, but rather the more advanced energy of magma.
Consequently, a researcher developed an evolution device containing massive magma energy, the Lava Amplifier. Its function is similar to an Evolutionary Stone; currently, the Lava Amplifier has become a standard tool for evolving Magmar.
This is the benefit of exploring evolution principles—allowing humans to artificially control whether or not a Pokémon evolves.
As his own horizons and status improved, Fang Yuan also learned many secrets, such as the evolution method of Dumb Hippo. It appeared mystical to ordinary people, but to Four Heavenly Kings Su Shu, this wasn't really a secret. The bug-like ability of Psychic types to communicate with Psychic System Elves effortlessly allowed Psychics to know that Dumb Hippo evolves through Fusion with Slowpoke and another Pokémon.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan was a step ahead, holding the knowledge of Dumb King's evolution method, so he didn't embarrass himself in front of Su Shu by assuming that the absence of a public announcement meant nobody knew the evolution method of Dumb Hippo.
