Chapter 123 Bai Si

After pushing Lu An into the door, Bai Ling turned and left.

According to her estimate, it would take Lu An some time to get out of the door.

During this time, she planned to look for Naz.

Even though that woman became a Heavenly King before her, her inherent pride led her to decide to challenge her, even if the outcome of the battle might not be as she wished.

Inside the door, directly in front of Lu An, stood an old man.

His name is Bai Si.

"Old man, why did you suddenly call me back?"

Lu An looked around and, finding that Bai Si was the only person in the room, pulled out a chair, plopped down on it, and casually put his feet on the table.

Seeing Lu An's rather rude behavior, the old man didn't say much, but slowly opened his mouth:

"I heard that both of your Eevee dogs have recovered from their illness?"

"It was alright. I went to Hoenn to find Emperor Yan. Although some things happened, it wasn't a waste of time."

As he spoke, Lu An opened the two Poké Balls, and Sun and Moon Eevee jumped out of them one after the other.

“Buyi”.

“Eebu”.

Looking at the two Eevee dogs obediently following Lu An, Bai Si's gaze softened slightly:

"Judging from their aura, they must be champion-level now that they've recovered from their illness, right?"

Lu An had his hands behind his neck, and the two legs of the chair were dangling in the air, swaying back and forth.

"Yes, the iron chains that bound their potential have finally been broken. They are still young, and they should still have room for improvement."

“You have indeed taken good care of them. It seems that my decision to go against everyone’s advice and make them your companions was the right one.”

After hearing Bai Si's words, Lu An did not look directly at him, but there was a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

He quickly displayed remarkable talent after becoming an investigator, and since his personality had not yet fully developed, he was soon regarded by the higher-ups in the investigation department as a rising superstar.

In order to steadily elevate his strength to a higher level, each of his Pokémon undergoes a rigorous selection process within the organization.

While he won't follow the organization's arrangements exactly, generally speaking, his Pokémon must be courageous, resolute, loyal, possess remarkable talent, and have unique roles.

The so-called "non-overlapping roles" means that each Pokémon in Lu An's team should have its own role and fulfill its specific responsibilities.

Swampert is responsible for helping Lu An travel through various bodies of water when necessary, and it is also a powerful melee fighter on land.

The "Solar Incarnation" Volcarona can compensate for Swampert's weakness to Grass in both its type and provide a decent ranged energy attack.

Unfortunately, neither of the two Ibrahimovic players met the standards of the Lu'an team in many aspects.

Although both Eevee were out of danger after a period of treatment, Espeon was extremely sensitive and introverted due to long-term inhuman experiments.

Umbreon, on the other hand, showed a strong tendency to attack everyone.

Pokémon with these two personalities are almost impossible to be included in the investigator team, let alone Lu An, a highly regarded investigator.

Furthermore, the genetic diseases they carry mean that their potential is lower than that of ordinary Pokémon.

Their trainers need to spend more resources to get them to the level that other Pokémon can easily reach through training.

Therefore, when Lu An proposed to the organization that he wanted to include two Eevee Pokémon in his team, he was immediately met with strong opposition.

It's important to know that at that time, Lu An's Pokémon team was not yet fully formed, and their strength was only at the level of ordinary investigators.

If two sick Eevee were added to the team, Lu An's energy would inevitably be diverted to treating them.

At that point, not only will it be impossible to train the two Eevee Pokémon to the level of ordinary investigator Pokémon, but the progress of Lu An's other Pokémon will also be slowed down by the two Eevee Pokémon.

Just when everyone else rejected Lu An's application, only Bai Si, a high-ranking investigator, spoke up to plead for Lu An.

Bai Si proposed the condition that Lu An provide a convincing reason within three months, in exchange for the investigation team's temporary tacit approval of Lu An's actions.

Therefore, during those three months, everyone, including Bai Si, saw a side of Lu An that they had never seen before.

He has to carry out his duties as an investigator, train his other Pokémon, treat the two Eevee's illnesses, build a strong friendship with them, and improve their strength.

In just three months, Lu An and his Pokémon team underwent a dramatic transformation.

In the "test" three months later, he defeated all the "challengers" with a perfect record of ten wins, proving that even with two Eevee dogs, his strength was still the undisputed number one among the rookie investigators.

And indeed, the two Eevee dogs did change gradually over the course of three months. Their illnesses were brought under control, their strength improved, and Lu An's relationship with them became closer.

Even Espeon completed its evolution during those three months.

It's important to know that at that time, Lu An's team didn't have a single Psychic-type Pokémon.

The practicality of superpowers in reality is beyond question.

The presence of Espeon perfectly filled a gap in Lu An's team at the time, meaning that its role was appropriate.

So, with Bai Si leading the way, everyone tacitly approved of Lu An's decision to keep the two Eevee dogs by his side.

“Old man, if it weren’t for you speaking up for me back then, Umbreon and the others might still be lying in the hospital, or they might have already died of illness in the Pokémon shelter.”

Lu An looked at Bai Si with gratitude in his eyes.

He owed this old man, who liked to wear reading glasses, a very important favor.

Because of the Ibrahimovic incident, among the senior investigators, Lu An and Bai Si had the most harmonious relationship.

Sometimes Lu An would ignore the other old men, but he would give Bai Si face, which made Qing Yuan and other old men wish they could pluck out all the beards they had left.

Bai Si smiled gently:

"At the time, I just felt that although you had performed very well, you always seemed to be very easily satisfied, and you still had a lot of potential that had not been tapped."

"Therefore, I think you might need an opportunity, an opportunity that can prompt your potential to be fully realized."

"And the appearance of these two Eevee pigs gave me this opportunity."

"As it turns out, my judgment was correct. Your brilliance only became more dazzling after you met the two Eevee."

"From this perspective, perhaps you are not only their benefactor, but they are also your destiny."
