Chapter 158 I, the Bird-Scratcher, the Collector

"Oh! It's Miss Takeran. What a coincidence. I actually met you here." Dr. Yamanashi was a little surprised, but his face was still serious.

"If I remember correctly, this is the current champion of the Sinnoh region. It's nice to meet you." Dr. Oak greeted cheerfully.

"Hello, Dr. Yamanashi, Dr. Oak, I've heard of you for a long time." Takeran responded politely.

"This Pokémon, I remember it's called Garchomp. I heard it can fly like a jet plane. I really want to know how it does it."

Dr. Oak was immediately attracted by a tall gray-blue dragon-shaped Pokémon next to Takeran.

"Gaaa?!" Garchomp took a step back and looked at Dr. Oak who suddenly came over in a bit of a daze.

"Hahaha, because I saw a rare Pokémon, I couldn't help but..." Dr. Oak scratched his head and laughed.

"It doesn't matter." Takeran touched Garchomp.

"Then this Pokémon is..." Takeran set his eyes on the equally tall Scratching Bird.

The Scratching Bird also looked at the Garchomp with some curiosity.

"This is not my Pokémon, but one of my collaborators. It is the latest Pokémon discovered. It has never been recorded in the entire league before." Professor Oak patted the Scratching Bird and said.

The Scratching Bird turned its head, called out, and stretched out its claws in front of Professor Oak.

Professor Oak was stunned, then smiled helplessly: "I know, I'll give it to you right away."

As he said that, Professor Oak took out three crystal clear golden energy cubes from a small box and put them in the claws of the Scratching Bird.

"Gaa!" The Scratching Bird happily threw the three small energy cubes into its mouth.

In an instant, the unique taste of eggs spread in its mouth, leaving the Scratching Bird with an endless aftertaste, and its stomach immediately felt full.

"Gaa~" The Scratching Bird squinted its eyes comfortably, and the feathers on its head swayed gently.

"Haha, what an interesting Pokémon." Zhulan smiled.

It is obviously a tall Pokémon, but it looks lively and naughty.

"Ms. Takeran, why are you here?" Dr. Yamanashi asked.

"It's like this, come out, Eevee." Takeran released a cute Eevee.

"Eeee~" Eevee fell into Takeran's arms, shaking its big tail.

"I want this child to evolve. I heard that there is a moss stone in the Baidai Forest that can make Eevee evolve, so I came to see it curiously." Takeran said, touching Eevee's soft fur.

"Oh? It seems that our goals are the same." Dr. Oak said unexpectedly.

"We are studying the evolution of Leaf Eevee and Glaceon." Dr. Yamanashi explained.

"That's a coincidence." Takeran was surprised.

"And the target seems to be just ahead." Dr. Oak pointed to the green open space in the distance and said.

In the clearing in the forest not far away, in the middle of the dense grass, a moss-covered boulder stood in the middle.

"Next, I'll trouble you, Scratching Bird, use the materials on the spot." Dr. Oak patted Scratching Bird and said.

"Does this Pokémon have any special abilities?" Zhulan looked over curiously.

"Gaa~" I saw the Scratching Bird run to the moss stone and dig quickly with both hands.

Suddenly, green energy was extracted from the ground and attached to an energy rock.

"Sure enough, this feature allows the Scratching Bird to extract the attribute power contained in the material." Professor Oak said in surprise.

"Next, let's test whether this energy is the key to Eevee's evolution into Leafeon."

Professor Oak threw the Poké Ball and released an Eevee, which was a volunteer who wanted to evolve into Leafeon.

"Go touch that stone." Professor Oak said.

"Eevee~" Eevee ran over curiously and stretched out its little claws to touch the energy rock.

Buzz!

Eevee's whole body suddenly lit up with the light of evolution.

"It actually evolved?" Zhulan said in surprise.

"It really works!" Professor Oak said in surprise.

Bang!

The light faded, and a green Pokémon appeared on the grass.

"Eevee~" Leafeon cried out in joy.

"Gah?!" Scratching Bird was surprised at the sudden change of the little guy in front of him.

"In other words, the grass-attribute energy contained in this moss stone and the nearby land is the key to evolution?" Dr. Yamanashi thought.

"What is the difference between the energy in it and the energy contained in the grass-attribute moves used by Pokémon?"

"Why can't the energy released by the moves make Eevee evolve?" Dr. Oak immediately thought of many questions.

"These are all worth studying." Dr. Yamanashi nodded after hearing this.

The two doctors were discussing and proposing various hypotheses, and Zhulan squatted down and observed Leafeon carefully.

Scratching Bird looked at the grass-attribute Hard Stone Smash in his hand, first dispersed it, and then pecked the ground with his beak, constantly testing something.

"Ms. Zhulan, if you want your Eevee to evolve into Leafeon, you can let Scratching Bird help you."

"The energy it extracts can immediately evolve Eevee into Leafeon." Dr. Yamanashi said after discussing with Dr. Oak.

"I'm not sure. I've also found other evolution stones that can evolve Eevee."

Zhulan reached out and took out three evolution stones, one for fire, one for water, and one for thunder.

"Actually, I'm still thinking about what kind of Eevee I should evolve it into." Zhulan pinched her chin and thought.

Zhulan's Eevee ran to Leafeon and looked at it curiously. Soon, the two little guys started playing carefree.

"Eeeeee..." At this time, several small figures in the bushes not far away looked over.

"It's Leafeon and Eevee!" Dr. Oak said in surprise.

Leafeon called out and walked over carefully with several Eevees, but his eyes were looking to the other side.

"Ga?"

Scratching Bird paused in digging the soil and dug out a dark green stone with leaf patterns. At the same time, there were several other similar stones placed beside it.

"It's Leaf Stone. Is it formed by the energy concentrated here?" Dr. Oak said.

"Wait, could it be that Leaf Stone can make Eevee evolve into Leafeon?" Dr. Yamanashi suddenly guessed.

"Eeeeee?" Little Eevee looked at Leaf Stone, then looked at Scratching Bird, a little hesitant.

"Ga!" Scratching Bird looked at Leaf Stone in his arms, then hugged it tightly and twisted it to the side.

Scratching Bird: I dug it up, it's mine!

"Eeeeee~" An Eevee held a piece of orange-red stone shaped like the sun and placed it in front of Scratching Bird, then pointed at the stone and then the Leaf Stone.

"It's the Sun Stone, do you want to exchange it?" Professor Oak watched this scene with interest.

"Gah!?" Scratching Bird looked at the Sun Stone and seemed very interested. It looked at the Leaf Stones and decisively exchanged one for it.

Scratching Bird held up the remaining two Leaf Stones and the Sun Stone and looked at them happily.

I, Scratching Bird, am a collector.

...

In Chenghua City, Su Yi sat on a bench by the roadside and put the Libra badge into the badge box.

"Well! One more for the collection!" Su Yi said happily.

My mother was sick and was in the hospital during the day. After dinner at night, I took a bath and went to bed to browse my phone for a while. I fell asleep unknowingly. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I finished coding this chapter and rested first. I will make up for the rest later.
