On the farm, Kaito watched the distant black dot disappear. Liu Xuan's style of doing things was very decisive and swift. Just as she came quickly, she returned after confirming the truth of the paper.
This time, she recorded some characteristics of Leafeon, the features of the Moss Rock, and the conditions required for evolution. Next, Kaito needed to write another paper on Leafeon's evolution and submit it. Then Liu Xuan could logically submit both the original paper and the new data, and hand over the due rewards to him.
"Then I'll leave it to you all."
"Niiii-keh, niiii-keh." Machamp nodded and walked out of the yard with Gardevoir. They were going to collect wood to reinforce structures like the cattle and sheep pens, in preparation for the upcoming typhoon.
Kaito walked into the house, sat at the table, and began typing. He also disliked procrastination and planned to write the Leafeon evolution paper first.
Logging into Pokémon Home, he could see that his paper had already garnered extremely high click-through rates, even making it to the homepage. However, due to lingering doubts about its accuracy, this paper could not yet be classified as a top-tier paper. All that was missing was the data Liu Xuan brought back, and this second paper of his.
Kaito glanced at the task on his panel: Identity Task: Join the National Research Institute. Task Content: As a Researcher, joining the National Research Institute is the goal. Task Reward: Random Z-Crystal.
Becoming a Doctor might not be certain, but the National Research Institute would definitely extend an olive branch to me; joining would certainly not be a problem...
After a long while, Kaito typed the final key. This also signified the successful completion of his paper. Looking at the voluminous text he had written, Kaito showed a satisfied expression. He clicked upload.
Exercise and Evolution
Kaito got up and went out for a walk, and happened to see Machamp and other Pokémon processing wood. Machamp, with its four sturdy arms, effortlessly lifted several thick tree trunks onto her shoulders. Gardevoir's method was even more impressive; she directly used Psychic to levitate and move the logs one by one.
Besides them, there was also a Mareep flock pulling logs. Below were simply made tools, with logs placed on the transport device, and ropes connecting to the Mareep.
"Lili, what is this?"
"Niiii-keh, niiii-keh." Machamp pointed to the wood, then to the Mareep. It turned out that the Mareep flock usually had abundant energy, either bumping into each other in the sheep pen or playing jumping games. Machamp thought that taking this opportunity, the Mareep flock could both exercise and expend their energy. Killing two birds with one stone.
"Mareep Mareep"
Kaito watched the Mareep, pulling ropes and excitedly moving forward, and thought Lili's idea was quite good. Regular exercise for the Mareep flock might even help them grow faster.
The next moment, a Mareep diligently moving forward glowed, its body enveloped in a dense white light.
"Mareep~ Mareep?!" Frightened, its fellow sheep companions around it retreated a few steps.
Kaito exclaimed in surprise: "Oh? It actually evolved?" He had just been thinking about how it would help the Mareep exercise, and unexpectedly, it came true the next second.
Then, as if by mutual agreement, several more Mareep began to evolve. For a moment, white light erupted throughout the flock. His Mareep slowly changed their body shapes in this white light.
A few breaths later, the evolved Flaaffy appeared before Kaito.
"Mareep-ko~" Flaaffy had pink skin, with only a circle of white wool remaining on its head and around its neck. Its ears and tail had black circular stripes, and the light bulb-shaped sphere at the end of its tail had turned sky blue. Compared to before evolution, Flaaffy's hind legs had become much stronger, giving them the ability to walk upright.

He originally had only three Flaaffy; now the number had increased to seven. Although the evolved Flaaffy seemed to have lost more than half of their wool, the quality of their fur had greatly improved. As an animal fiber, the quality of wool is closely related to its fineness. After Flaaffy evolved, the nature of its body hair changed, and the amount of electricity that could be stored in its fur increased. The fur from Flaaffy's chest to its head became particularly fine and elastic.
"Mareep Mareep" The Mareep, seeing their pink companions, bleated one after another, seemingly all very surprised.
"Mareep-ko! Mareep-ko!" The Flaaffy, with their hands on their hips and chests puffed out, proudly showed off their evolution to their companions. They evolved one step earlier than their companions. They were more powerful.
Gardevoir retracted her gaze and said to Kaito: "We also brought a new partner back!"
A new partner? Kaito looked behind Gardevoir.
A light green Pokémon was playing with Leafeon. It looked a bit like a cartoon dinosaur, with a tiny tail and a circle of spores around its neck. It had a deep green leaf on its head, which was quite large relative to its body, looking at first glance like green bangs. The leaf gently undulated, and a sweet scent emanated from it.
It was Chikorita!
Kaito has secured his research future, evolved his Mareep flock, and now has a Chikorita on the farm! What role will the Grass-type starter play in his growing estate?
