Greatest Pokémon Trainer

The first 3D Dragon to successfully digest the Awakening Fruit and awaken the Awakening Power Technique was of the Electric attribute.

At this moment, this hideous 3D Dragon, with golden electricity swirling around its body, stood out remarkably among the group of 3D Dragons.

Fang Yuan, Professor Zhao, and Xia student all looked over and began to observe carefully.

"It really can awaken," Fang Yuan thought with a start.

Before feeding the Awakening Fruit to the 3D Dragons, Fang Yuan had his doubts about whether the fruit would actually have any effect on this type of Pokemon.

Now, Fang Yuan no longer had such doubts.

He admitted that it was a gamble... but he had won the bet.

He was truly a Trainer chosen by Victini.

The Electric attribute was within Fang Yuan's expectations; as Pokemon living in the digital world, it was only normal that they would awaken to something like Electric power.

"That one has awakened too."

Suddenly, Xia Xiaowei unexpectedly noticed a 3D Dragon start to exude a faint blue glow and called attention to it.

"That's a Mental Fluctuation, it seems to have awakened the Psychic attribute," Fang Yuan said.

The talents of this batch of 3D Dragons were unexpectedly decent, either Electric or Superpower, all quite suitable for research.

"There's another one," Professor Zhao said.

Before long, ten minutes later, a few more out of the thirteen 3D Dragons had successively awakened to attributes.

The awakened attributes still did not stray from the Electric and Superpower categories.

Three awakened to Electricity, three to Superpower, quite evenly distributed...

However, even though the awakened attributes were the same, each individual exhibited varying strengths of power upon awakening, and their ability to control that power during the awakening also differed.

This was a very good reference standard.

As for the remaining seven 3D Dragons, after another five minutes without any change, it seemed they had no talent for awakening.

"A total of six, huh." Professor Zhao was both impressed by Fang Yuan's extravagant method of using the Awakening Fruit to easily categorize the talents of these 3D Dragons and curious about which Pokemon Fang Yuan would take with him.

He should take all six, right?

After all, Fang Yuan never said he would pick just one.

Having invested Awakening Fruits, taking six would be normal.

Of course, even if Fang Yuan took away all the 3D Dragons present, Professor Zhao wouldn't mind, because Fang Yuan was certainly going to do great things with them!

He would definitely maximize the value of the 3D Dragons.

At this moment, Fang Yuan indeed was considering how many to take with him...

For the research of the Elf Transmission System, one would suffice, or several wouldn't matter.

But at present, what troubled Fang Yuan was that even though they had awakened to attributes and shown decent talents, these six 3D Dragons still didn't give him that sense of awe.

None of these could make him, a Wave-guide Messenger, feel moved.

Although it was just for an additional research assistant and not a main force in the team, Fang Yuan still believed in the thrill of "love at first sight."

If he could find a Pokemon that both sides favored, why settle for just any selection?

Just like when he first encountered Magnemite, Chimchar, Ghostss, Ugly Fish, Dragonite, Fang Yuan was full of anticipation, hoping for a resonance of "soul" between them.

But now, these 3D Dragons didn't give him that feeling.

Is it because these 3D Dragons are too dull... not feeling any emotion at all.

It's like an emperor ready to choose a concubine only to find a line of inflatable dolls.

However, there was no helping it... that's just how the 3D Dragon species is, leaving no room for Fang Yuan to be picky.

"Bwoo!!!" Just as Fang Yuan was pondering whether to pick one of the Psychic-attribute awakened 3D Dragons to take back and cultivate, hoping for "familiarity breeds fondness" over time, Eevee suddenly called out.

"Bwoo bwoo~~"

It pointed at a 3D Dragon sitting in front of a computer with a blank expression, indicating Fang Yuan had forgotten one.

The 3D Dragon it had played chess with earlier hadn't eaten the Awakening Fruit yet.

"That seems to be the case," Fang Yuan looked over.

This 3D Dragon, because it had entered the computer to play chess with Eevee and had not eaten the Awakening Fruit with the other 3D Dragons, was forgotten... but now it was no longer important.

Because the 3D Dragon species was pretty much set like this, awakening to Electric or Psychic would probably be the best one could expect.

But since Eevee had brought it up, out of fairness, Fang Yuan took out another Awakening Fruit and threw it to Eevee, telling it to go and feed the chess-playing 3D Dragon.

It was simply a gesture; Fang Yuan had already decided on picking the strongest of the Psychic-attribute awakened 3D Dragons and had no plans to wait another two hours to check the awakening results of this 3D Dragon.

"Then, I will pick this..." Fang Yuan finally used his Wave Motion to check a few 3D Dragons, slowly raising his hand to point towards one of them, but suddenly, another unexpected change occurred elsewhere.

Zzzap! Crackle! Whoosh!!

The chess-playing 3D Dragon, which had just come from the computer and was slowly swallowing the Awakening Fruit Fang Yuan gave it, reacted almost immediately, showing a reaction in an extremely short time.

The sudden surge of electricity, flames, and frosty aura from its body gave the Eevee nearby quite a scare.

Eevee: (•̀⌓•́)シ

"Bwoo!!!" Eevee stepped back, gazing bewilderedly at the creature who had just been playing chess with it.

What's going on?

It wasn't just Eevee who was baffled; Fang Yuan, Professor Zhao, and Xia student also looked on in confusion.

Is this...

How could this Porygon digest things so quickly?

Other Porygons need 2 hours to digest an Awakening Fruit, and this one did it instantly?

And furthermore,

what's the deal with these awakened attributes?

"Can Awakening Power awaken three attributes at the same time??" Fang Yuan, with a question mark above his head, muttered to himself as he looked at the Porygon that had mysteriously mastered a special Triangle Attack and the powers of Thunder and Lightning, Flame, and Frost.

"Probably..." Professor Zhao murmured unsure of what was happening.

The Porygon's digestive system was notoriously poor, and these Porygons had just been born recently.

"Does this Porygon have anything special about it..." Xia Xiaowei was also staring blankly at the one surrounded by three kinds of attribute energies, quite puzzled.

It's true that a Porygon could master these three types of power, but it would require loading complex data programs to do so.

But now, it seemed to achieve this instantly just with a fruit... unbelievable.

"Did this Porygon get taken over by a virus or trojan when it entered the computer, or did Eevee cause a BUG to induce a genetic breakthrough just now?" Fang Yuan muttered.

It looks quite special, but what's the use of you awakening Fire, Electricity, and Ice when you're a research-type Pokemon?

Crack!!

However, while Fang Yuan was making his snide remarks, the Porygon suddenly turned its head to look at him.

The once dull gaze now held a trace of liveliness.

Even for a moment, Fang Yuan felt an illusion that he had successfully sensed the other's emotions with the Power of the Heart!

Those emotions seemed to say: MMP, you're the one with the genetic mutation.

That moment felt like an illusion, but also not quite like an illusion...

He looked at Eevee, who scratched its head with its paw pad, indicating it had no idea either.

"Is it possible for the Porygon to exhibit actions and abilities not present in the program?" Fang Yuan continued to stare at the Porygon and asked.

"Well, there's no precedent for that, generally only 3D Dragons that have downloaded artificial intelligence programs, those fitted with AI, might evolve to have autonomy," Professor Zhao answered truthfully.

"The in-depth Go learning system is just an immature learning program, not substantive enough to grant a Porygon self-awareness," added Xia Xiaowei.

Neither noticed the fleeting change that had just occurred in the Porygon.

No... it should be possible for a Porygon to develop consciousness.

For example, if there was a program error, leading to aberrant growth, and it was then stimulated by external forces... perhaps it could possess a hint of autonomy even before evolving.

Fang Yuan was certain of his speculation because this Porygon that had just played chess with the Eevee, which had triggered a BUG and caused data confusion with Future Sight, indeed seemed to have developed its own emotions.

He was convinced his perception was correct.

This excited Fang Yuan.

He liked such problematic Pokemon.

This Pokemon must have been triggered by the sequence of Go moves that Eevee played, causing data errors, which must have enkindled its intelligence.

Using a simple Go learning system to produce reactions comparable to those of an evolved 3D Dragon II, that's possess high-grade AI, this Porygon was truly rare in talent.

You're not normal!

"I'll take this one."

Originally, Fang Yuan had intended to choose a Porygon that had awakened the Superpower attribute, but ultimately, he changed his mind because of this newly born Pokemon that had developed a hint of Autonomy.

Having autonomy, that's what makes it like a living being, right? Starting with a talent that can multitask with a single heart, and also an analytical trait, its research capability will definitely not be inferior to that of Porygons awakened with the Superpower attribute.

I'm not normal either.

So we're a good match.

"You want this one??" Professor Lin asked in surprise.

Indeed, even he was puzzled by the unique characteristics that this Porygon had shown, despite not knowing what had happened.

It made sense for Fang Yuan, the genius researcher, to take an interest in this Porygon.

"Yes," Fang Yuan nodded, looking at the Porygon that had once again returned to a dull expression, and said, "This one is perfect."

"I feel like it really likes me and Eevee."
