People in the Elf: God rewards hard work and I become stronger at the speed of light Chapter 263

“After Magmar fell into a bottleneck period, I made many efforts, but there always seemed to be a shackles limiting it. Later, as I delved into the genetic level, I discovered that Magmar’s genes were not completely locked into a stable form! Do you know what this means?”

On the elevator platform, which was three to five meters square, Natsume sat on one side of the circular sofa, looking at Bai Ze opposite him.

“The stability of a Pokémon’s genes represents the end of its evolution.” Bai Ze was not flustered at all, and spoke eloquently, “If the genes are not completely locked into a stable form, it naturally means…”

“Magmar is not the final evolutionary form!”

Natsume couldn’t help but blurt out the answer.

“Coming to this conclusion made me ecstatic. This is not only an opportunity for my old partner to take another step forward, but also a major discovery in the evolutionary system!”

Rubbing the special high-temperature ball in his hand, Natsume’s expression gradually calmed down, and a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes: “Unfortunately, although I came to this conclusion and made preliminary assumptions and verifications, without exception, they all ended in failure.”

“Normal evolutionary methods failed, so I changed my thinking.”

“Perhaps Magmar’s genetic characteristics are inert? Is it something that requires specific conditions, or a specific item to stimulate gene activity to trigger evolution?”

Hearing this, Bai Ze nodded secretly.

Natsume’s direction was correct.

However,

Unlike ordinary inert gene Pokémon that require special environmental items or evolution stones to directly stimulate evolution,

Magmar is a type that requires both items and artificial intervention to evolve.

Moreover,

The items it needs also require artificial synthesis to be produced.

With so many prerequisites, plus the uncertainty of artificial intervention methods, without enough experimental attempts and a little bit of accidental addition, it would probably be impossible to find the correct method even if one racked their brains.

Even Professor Elm, an authority on Pokémon evolution,

It was a coincidence of a mistaken operation.

Only then did he discover the special evolutionary method of Link Trade from Electivire…

And Natsume’s subsequent words did not surprise Bai Ze.

“Pokémon with inert genes need specific evolution stones to stimulate their inactive evolution genes, thereby evolving. Magmar is a pure Fire-type Pokémon, but Fire Stones have no effect on it.”

“But I was not disappointed.”

“Because Pokémon evolution often brings about changes in attributes, and some also require specific environments.”

“Trial and error, this is a process that every researcher must go through!”

Natsume’s expression was calm.

This kind of willpower, constantly falling and getting up again, yet still being able to maintain a calm mind and continue moving forward, made Bai Ze greatly admire him.

Although Natsume failed to reach the top in both the trainer and scientific researcher paths,

But he managed to reach a level second only to the top in both.

Indeed, it was not something ordinary people could achieve.

Click—

With a crisp sound, the platform stopped in a cabin, and then the cabin door opened.

Under Natsume’s lead, several people walked into a brightly lit laboratory hall.

Pure white color scheme.

The ground was entirely paved with alloy flooring.

Rows of experimental machines made this not-so-small laboratory somewhat crowded.

“Evolutionary stones of different attributes, various items, oddities, I tried them all one by one… Finally, hard work paid off, and I actually found an item in the volcanic eruptions of my hometown, Cinnabar Island, that caused Magmar’s evolutionary genes to react!”

Natsume had an emotional expression of ‘mountains and rivers seem to end, but a new village appears after the willows and flowers’.

“That was a lava fire ore with a very complex composition. After numerous repetitions, decompositions, combinations, and refinements, I finally created this thing…”

As he spoke, Natsume came to the main control platform and operated it.

Hiss—

A meter-high cylinder rose from one side of the platform, accompanied by a burst of mist, a shoe-box-sized red square box with a circular vacuum inside, glowing with a lava luster, appeared before everyone’s eyes.

[Magmarizer: A box accumulating vast lava energy]

Bai Ze glanced at it and confirmed that this thing was indeed a Magmarizer, no wonder Magmar would react to it.

“Magmar’s reaction to this thing was quite intense, but I don’t know why, no matter how intense the reaction was, or how strong the activity of its evolutionary genes was, Magmar just couldn’t complete its evolution…”

Natsume sighed softly, took down the Magmarizer and handed it to Bai Ze, his eyes filled with anticipation.

He wasn’t sure how much Bai Ze knew about Magmar’s evolution.

But with Gardevoir’s evolution in the past,

And Bai Ze actively bringing up this topic afterward, Natsume, being an old fox, naturally understood that Bai Ze had a purpose.

And since there was a purpose,

Then…

Facing Natsume’s eager gaze, Bai Ze said nothing more. There was a Pokémon exchange device on one side of the laboratory, and he decided to let Natsume see for himself.

Bai Ze first asked Natsume to release Magmar, and then had it hold the Magmarizer before recalling it into its Poké Ball.

Next,

He placed the high-temperature ball containing Magmar into the right entrance/exit of the Pokémon exchange device, then took out a new empty Luxury Ball and placed it into the other entrance/exit, and then directly pulled down the switch of the exchange device.

Buzz—

As the sound of the machine running began,

Suddenly, white light bloomed on the two floating Poké Balls.

After a moment, the white light receded, and the Poké Balls fell back down.

Bai Ze immediately got up, reached out and took out the Luxury Ball on the left, and handed it back to Natsume: “Gym Leader Natsume, come and see the brand new Magmar, no, it should be called Magmortar!”

“Magmortar…”

Natsume muttered the name to himself. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down a bit, and then, with slightly trembling hands, pressed the switch button on the Luxury Ball in his hand.

White light flashed.

A large, stout, red bipedal Pokémon with huge cannon-like ends on its arms appeared…

“Wooao~!”
