章 151: Chapter 150 Dr. Chen_1

```

Fang Yuan and Eevee visited the Qingmu Research Institute for the second time.

Invited by Professor Xu Qingmu, they had come to assist with a new research topic related to Dangerous Premonition abilities.

Fang Yuan too was puzzled by the visit.

After all, he couldn't figure out what more there was to research about Dangerous Premonition abilities.

Could it be similar to the Disaster Beast Absol, which could sense natural disasters? That would be impressive.

However, Absol's ability to sense natural disasters was due to the horn on its head that could sensitively detect changes in the sky and the earth, which was different from the Dangerous Premonition abilities...

"Speaking of which, here on Earth, superstitions are rampant, and there's a lot of resistance towards Pokémon like Absol that are believed to 'bring disaster'..."

"What would you like to drink?"

Upon entering the institute, Professor Xu Qingmu first poured a glass of water for Fang Yuan, then handed a red beverage to Eevee.

"This is also a nutritional drink formulated for Normal type Pokémon, and you can't buy it outside."

Professor Xu Qingmu chuckled and said, yesterday it was a vegetable juice-like green beverage, and today it was a watermelon juice-like red beverage. Eevee reluctantly accepted and began to taste it.

Hmm... it still had no flavor.

"Professor Xu Qingmu, what is the important topic you mentioned? How do you want us to cooperate?" Fang Yuan asked.

"No need to hurry, before that, let me tell you a story," replied Professor Xu Qingmu.

Fang Yuan was taken aback, but nodded.

"Once there was a Trainer who, from his childhood, was very fond of Bug Type Pokemon. This passion supported him to become a Professional Trainer who specialized in Bug Type Pokemon."

"However, during an exploration of a Secret location, to protect the Trainer, his Beautifly suffered a severe injury. This Beautifly, which the Trainer had carefully raised and taught Superpower, died because of its frail vitality. The injury, which would not have been fatal to other Pokémon, easily took away its life force."

Fang Yuan and Eevee's expressions slightly changed; this indeed was a defect of some Bug Type Pokemon.

"From then on, the Trainer made up his mind; he wanted to change this situation. He stepped back from the front lines and became a Researcher, beginning to study Pokémon genetics in the hope that it would be the entry point to change the fragile vitality of Bug Type Pokemon."

"However, the difficulty of this task exceeded his imagination. He began to despair, until another exploration of a Secret location, where he obtained a Fossil that still retained activity and carried a large number of Pokémon genetics. He saw hope again."

"He was very clear about what that Fossil represented. This Fossil, despite the passage of time, still possessed an active life force and contained a large number of Pokémon genetics; it could potentially be the key to enhancing the life order of Pokémon, including powering up not just Bug Type Pokemon but all types of Pokémon. Developing a Panacea became his dream."

"Did he succeed?" Fang Yuan asked.

```

"No," Professor Xu Qingmu shook his head.

"Throughout the research process, he experienced numerous setbacks, and the results he obtained weren't the miracle drug he had imagined."

"What he developed was an immature drug named 'R,' which is a substance that can alter genes and drive Pokemon into a frenzy. Upon absorbing a certain amount of 'R,' the drug not only changes the Pokemon's genes but also generates a new gene within their bodies."

"Pokemon possessing this gene, theoretically, could gain powers beyond what they had before. However, this gene is not something every Pokemon can control. In almost all cases, after generating this gene, the Pokemon's eyes would turn red, they would become highly aggressive, refuse to obey Trainer's commands, and become untreatable, dying of exhaustion, a symptom a hundred times more horrifying than the 'Foreign Syndrome' found in the Pokemon of the Secret Location."

"And then?"

"He needed more suitable subjects for his experiments. After further research, he found that Ditto, which can reorganize all the cells in its body, and Eevee with its unstable genes, had the strongest adaptability to this new gene. In subsequent experiments, Ditto, which has no ability to evolve—that is, an inability to elevate its life form—was quickly ruled out, leaving Eevee as the only choice."

"However, by this point, his research and experiments were no longer accepted by the public. He was arrested, but on the eve of his capture, he sensed it and went into hiding. Being caught would have meant at best jail time and no further research. Do you think he would give up?"

"Probably not..."

"Right, of course he wouldn't. Without the research institute and subjects, all he could do was take some of his Pokemon, cross provinces, or even go abroad to restart his research. However, by then, he remembered a paper about the discovery of the Dangerous Premonition trait. The researcher who was verifying this paper in his institute should have a large number of Eevee suitable as subjects, right? And Eevee with the Dangerous Premonition trait was something he hadn't yet encountered."

Fang Yuan and Eevee felt a thud in their hearts, a bad premonition.

Professor Xu Qingmu continued, "Unfortunately, even after his study, the five Eevee at this research institute still didn't meet the requirements. Eevee cells were still excessively rejecting 'R.' It was at this moment that a New Trainer visited the institute. Conveniently, this New Trainer's Pokemon was also an Eevee. Thinking that an extra subject was better than none, he fed this Eevee some of the 'R' drug and tested fur it had shed. Surprisingly, this Eevee's genes exhibited low resistance to 'R.' Although he didn't know why, it suggested that this Eevee might become the perfect subject. He could base a new round of research on this Eevee, perfecting the drug 'R'..."

"'R' is a substance with almost no taste. The liquid state of 'R' comes in red and green, with green being slightly weaker and taking a few days for the latent period, while red is stronger. When combined, the reaction is much more intense. There are less than three minutes remaining before it takes effect," Professor Xu Qingmu glanced at his watch, smiled towards Fang Yuan.

That smile sent chills down Fang Yuan and Eevee's spines.

Fang Yuan felt like Professor Xu Qingmu was telling him a suspenseful story, but his uncontrollable body told him that they might be in big trouble.

He and Eevee were suddenly immobilized on the sofa by a force!

"Professor Xu?"

"Professor Xu? Are you referring to that researcher? He died several days ago. You may call me Dr. Chen."

"Xu Qingmu," smiling, shook his head, and said, "Well, as soon as it's confirmed that your Eevee can become the perfect subject, I should be leaving here."

At the same time, next to him appeared a Pokemon resembling a bipedal gray fox. This Pokemon had deep red fur crowning its head and covering its back, and its red claws and toes allowed Fang Yuan to recognize its identity.

The Illusion Fox Pokemon with extremely horrifying illusion abilities, Zoroark.

Fang Yuan fell into deep despair, really hoping that Professor Xu Qingmu was just joking with him...

Just at that moment... the doorbell rang.
