Elf, a genius scientist who traveled from one piece

The next day, Itsuki arrived at the Cerulean City Pokémon Center.

His Pokémon weren't seriously injured; he mainly wanted to ask Nurse Joy about what had happened to his Exeggcute.

Oh, maybe he couldn't call it "Exeggcute" anymore.

"I'm sorry, Itsuki, we only handle treatment here, not research. I don't know why your Pokémon changed like this," Nurse Joy Saori explained, looking at the Pokémon beside Itsuki, which had three oval faces and a body resembling a coconut tree stump with grass leaves on its head. Curiosity was evident in her eyes.

Following Su Sheng's Umbreon a few months ago, this was the second time she had seen an unknown Pokémon recently.

Other trainers at the Pokémon Center also cast curious glances.

But this wasn't too rare.

The Pokémon Encyclopedia hadn't been fully developed yet.

Professor Oak's lectures often educated the public about new Pokémon they hadn't seen before.

For example, the Dark type was only recently discovered by Professor Oak.

Many Dark-type Pokémon had frequently appeared in the news lately.

Nurse Joy Saori then analyzed, "However, after conducting a physical examination, we found it to be very healthy. If you want to learn more about this new species of Pokémon, I recommend you go to Kanto and ask Professor Oak."

Currently, the highest and only authority in the Pokémon academic world was Professor Oak.

"Okay."

Confirming that his partner was okay, Itsuki felt relieved.

Without any surprises, this should be evolution.

"So, what should I call you now?"

Itsuki rubbed his chin, looking troubled.

Exeggcute's evolved form… was he the first in the world to witness this?

He didn't even know what to call it.

"Hey~ little bro, your Pokémon… I've never seen it before."

Just then, a young man curiously approached.

"Huh? Is there something you need?"

Itsuki turned to look at him.

This person was the trainer of the Tauros that had undergone surgery at Su Sheng's place yesterday.

"Nothing, I was just passing by and saw that Nurse Joy couldn't answer your question," the Tauros trainer said, arms crossed, complaining, "The League's standards are really bad. They charge a lot but aren't very good…"

"I'm leaving if there's nothing else."

Itsuki wasn't interested in listening to his complaints.

"Wait, wait, wait, I'll tell you, I know a very skilled doctor, he's at the beach, you can go see him…"

Ever since his Tauros had narrowly escaped death, he had become a supporter of Su Sheng.

"Huh?"

Itsuki blinked.

There was nothing wrong with his Pokémon's body, and his only problem was what to call it.

There was no need to find another doctor.

Moreover, Itsuki didn't think there were any doctors better than the Joy family.

Besides, this wasn't something a doctor could solve, right?

If he were to look for someone, it should be a researcher like Professor Oak.

However, seeing the way this person's eyes lit up when mentioning that doctor, Itsuki decided to go take a look.

Anyway, he had come to Cerulean City to try his luck.

...

Before long, Itsuki followed the man's advice and arrived at a detached house by the sea in Cerulean City.

"Is this the place… Hmm!?"

Itsuki was about to knock on the door when his expression suddenly changed.

Because through the window, he saw a black Eevee leaning against the curtain and snoring at the table inside.

"Is it… the same one?"

Itsuki muttered to himself after regaining his senses.

When he looked again,

he found that the Umbreon, which had been snoring with its eyes closed, had suddenly stood up and was staring at him warily with its scarlet eyes.

Itsuki was so scared that he fell on his butt.

Just then, the door opened.

"What's going on here?" Su Sheng asked, raising an eyebrow.

Itsuki quickly got up, dusted off his butt, and said, "Um… I heard there's a skilled doctor here…"

"Oh? Is your Pokémon injured?"

"Uh… it can't be said to be injured, but it suddenly changed its appearance."

Although he already knew from Nurse Joy Saori that there was nothing wrong with his Pokémon's body,

Itsuki still released his Exeggcute evolution to avoid the other party's suspicion.

"Oh? Isn't this an Exeggutor?"

Su Sheng's eyes lit up. This was the first time he had seen an Exeggutor since he traveled here.

"Exeggutor? Is that its name?"

Itsuki asked curiously.

"You just said it suddenly changed its appearance? What exactly happened?"

Su Sheng didn't answer Itsuki's question but instead asked him.

Compared to the era when Ash set off on his adventure,

many things were still in the development stage in the current Pokémon world.

This included many unknown Pokémon.

The Dark type had only recently been discovered and officially announced by Professor Oak.

The Fairy type didn't seem to have been discovered yet, and even Jigglypuff's trainer thought Jigglypuff was a pure Normal type.

"Uh…"

Itsuki frowned and recalled, "I was camping in the Mysterious Forest. At that time, I released all my Pokémon to prepare for camping, including Exeggcute. I was setting up the tent, and when I finished, I turned around and found that my Exeggcute was gone. In its place was this Exeggutor you mentioned."

"I was shocked and thought my Exeggcute had been eaten by some creature. It was only after Natu and the others kept explaining that I realized it was my Exeggcute."

Itsuki explained with exaggerated gestures.

Su Sheng narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and then asked, "Was there anything nearby at that time?"

Exeggcute needed the item "Leaf Stone" to evolve into Exeggutor.

But currently, only Water Stone, Fire Stone, and Thunder Stone were sold online.

After Su Sheng had been researching the data for some time, the Leaf Stone had not yet been discovered.

This Exeggutor probably accidentally touched a wild Leaf Stone before evolving.

Itsuki thought for a while after hearing this. "There wasn't anything, I specifically chose an open space to camp. Except for a large rock covered in moss, there was nothing else around…"

Hearing this, Su Sheng immediately guessed what that rock was.

Moss Rock!

In the game, it had the same effect as the Leaf Stone and could allow Eevee to evolve into Leafeon.

"Don't worry, this is just a normal evolution. Your Exeggutor is very healthy."

As Su Sheng spoke, he went back to the house, packed up a bit, and prepared to go out with a backpack.

"Huh? Are you going out?"

Itsuki was stunned. Why was he suddenly leaving?

"I'm very interested in that rock you mentioned."

Evolution stones were also one of Su Sheng's main research directions, otherwise, he wouldn't have bought Water, Fire, and Thunder Stones in large quantities online.

Now that he knew the news about the Leaf Stone material, there was no reason to let it go.

Watching Su Sheng's back as he prepared to leave, Itsuki suddenly said,

"Um… if you don't mind, I can lead the way for you. I have nothing else to do anyway."

Although he said so, Itsuki actually had his own agenda.

Rare black Eevee, and this guy's age and figure… completely matched Joker!
