It turned out to be a project invested in by the Sinnoh League, no wonder he was allowed to board an unlimited number of Pokémon for three years after catching a wild Hoenn starter.
The Pokémon food at Yamabuki Research Institute, whether in terms of ingredient quality or preparation methods, was of top-tier Breeder standards.
Kebi took out Treecko's Poké Ball, "Dr. Shanli, I'll transfer it now."
Dr. Shanli nodded, "Alright, I'm ready to receive it on my end."
As a white light landed on the Poké Ball, the Poké Ball vanished from Kebi's sight.
"I've received Treecko on my end. Wait for me to collect the data. Besides Treecko, how many other Pokémon have you caught?"
Fearow and Tyranitar were not suitable to mention for now.
At least not in the Hoenn region.
Aron was just a Pokémon Hunter and not within the scope of international police attention.
Once they reached the Sinnoh region, Fearow and Tyranitar would be law-abiding citizens.
"I also caught a Seedot. Compared to the number of Pokémon, I value the quality of Pokémon more."
Looking at the data for Treecko appearing on the computer, Dr. Shanli was very surprised.
"This Treecko of yours has strong talent. Born just fifteen days ago, it already has its current body data. Cultivate it well, and it can accompany you all the way to Victory Road."
"Perhaps our Sandgem Town is about to produce a Sinnoh Grass Elite."
Dr. Shanli's evaluation was so high that Kebi was a little overwhelmed.
After collecting the data, Dr. Shanli transferred Treecko back.
"You still need to catch more Pokémon. Only by interacting with various Pokémon can your understanding of Pokémon become deep enough."
"Don't be afraid of not being able to afford them. Yamabuki Research Institute is your eternal backing. Sandgem Town has been quiet for too long and needs a genius like you to restore its glory."
"That guy Oak often boasts to me about an excellent Trainer from his Pallet Town. You should also perform well and strive to defeat him, giving Oak a good slap in the face."
The excellent Trainer from Pallet Town, could it be Ash?
Kebi nodded, "Don't worry, Doctor, I will do my best to let more people know that there's a Trainer named Kebi in Sandgem Town!"
Dr. Shanli nodded with satisfaction, "Cultivate Treecko well. In a week, I hope to see even better and more outstanding data."
"But remember, raising Pokémon is a gradual process; don't be too eager for quick results."
Kebi understood that Dr. Shanli wanted to see his progress as a Trainer.
"Yes, Doctor!"
The Electricity Cup competition was still three days away, and Kebi didn't want to spend these three days solely on training.
Compared to training, Piplup and the others needed more actual combat.
Why not challenge the Zǐjǐn Gym? Tie Xuan was an excellent whetstone.
As an electrical engineer for the bankrupt Violet City Corporation, Tie Xuan had a high passion for Electric attribute Pokémon and possessed excellent electrical machinery manufacturing capabilities.
And the most practical Psychic ability in the world: money.
Compared to other Gym Leaders who came from a Trainer background, Tie Xuan might be lacking in commanding and raising Pokémon.
But the electrical machinery he manufactured compensated for his lack of training talent.
It could completely test the abilities of Trainers who came to obtain badges.
Even due to his rigorous engineering style, he set up different challenge lineups based on the number of badges obtained in training, from one to eight badges.
According to rumors, Tie Xuan's ace Pokémon was a Magnezone, fitting his identity as an electrical engineer.
Having Piplup battle an Electric Gym was indeed a bit of a challenge.
But the training effect would also be more outstanding.
Kebi arrived at the Zǐjǐn Gym and registered for a challenge at the front desk, only to find that many Trainers who came for the Electricity Cup had the same idea as him.
Everyone wanted to challenge the Zǐjǐn Gym, so everyone couldn't play.
"Sorry, because Mr. Tie Xuan is the initiator of the Electricity Cup, he has a lot of work to handle, so the Zǐjǐn Gym will not be open for challenges until after the Electricity Cup ends."
"If you need to battle other Trainers, the park next door has an open area, where many contestants attending the Electricity Cup are sparring with each other."
The receptionist's words were very standard and official.
Kebi had nothing to say and could only turn and go to the park next door.
Shroomish versus Poochyena, Ruriri versus Zigzagoon, Beautifly versus Dustox.
Only the battle on the last field was somewhat interesting.
Are the Trainers participating in the Electricity Cup only at this level?
What kind of training effect can this achieve?
Forget it, since I'm already here, I might as well go up and have a couple of battles.
Just then, Shroomish sprayed Stun Spore, paralyzing Poochyena, and a Tackle sent Poochyena flying.
With a pathetic yelp, Poochyena rolled a few times and already had swirly eyes.
Poochyena's Trainer recalled Poochyena and left the field. Kebi seized the opportunity, stepping ahead to the Trainer area on the field.
"Piplup, it's up to you!"
"【Piplup】"
"【lv70 Lv15】"
"【Ability: Torrent】"
"【Aptitude: Purple (14/100)】"
Strict training and food made from rare ingredients allowed Piplup to quickly reach Level 15, and its aptitude also improved a bit.
Seeing this blue penguin, the surrounding Trainers were somewhat bewildered.
"What kind of Pokémon is this?"
"I've never seen it before."
Kebi looked at his opponent, "Aren't you going to switch out a Pokémon?"
The boy in the hat opposite rubbed his nose with his index finger, "I believe Shroomish can still continue to fight!"
Finally, one Trainer excitedly clapped his hands.
"I remember now, this is a Pokémon from the Sinnoh region, called Piplup, Water attribute!"
A Trainer next to him sneered, "Using a Water attribute against Shroomish? He doesn't even know the type effectiveness chart by heart and dares to come out and battle."
Kebi had already given up hope on the quality of the Trainers watching.
"You go first, after all, Shroomish just had a battle."
Starting with a priority move makes it easier to gain an advantage in battle.
The boy in the hat chuckled, "Then I won't be polite. Shroomish, use Absorb!"
"Water Gun!"
Green energy extended towards Piplup, but a stream of water shot out first from Piplup's mouth.
It directly sent Shroomish flying, instantly incapacitating it.
"Shr... Shroomish."
The boy in the hat looked disbelieving. His Shroomish was actually knocked out by a single Water Gun.
Piplup also couldn't believe it. He hadn't even used much strength, and the opponent fell with just one Water Gun.
The boy in the hat recalled Shroomish and took out another Poké Ball.
"Poochyena, go!"
Kebi waved his hand, "You still go first."
The boy in the hat thought for a moment. Since this Pokémon was good at long-range moves like Water Gun, it probably wasn't good at close combat.
"Poochyena, use Double Team, and rush up with Bite!"
"Water Gun sweep, take out all the Double Teams."
Piplup sprayed a stream of water, dispersing all the Double Teams.
But Poochyena also had some skill, hiding behind the Double Teams, avoiding the Water Gun spray, and pouncing forward.
"Pound."
Kebi calmly gave the order.
Piplup's wings glowed white, striking Poochyena hard in the face.
Owooo~
Do you know how much damage a big slap can do to a young Poochyena?
Poochyena was knocked out cold directly.
Whoa!
The entire audience was in an uproar. A Pokémon from the Sinnoh region actually knocked out its opponent with one move, and twice at that.
Either this blue penguin was amazing, or this Trainer was amazing.
For a moment, no one dared to step onto the field to battle Kebi.
"Is there anyone else who wants to come up?"
"Since no one is coming up, then let Roselia and I have a go with you."
A green-haired youth holding a red rose walked through the crowd, followed by a vividly flowered Roselia, appearing before Kebi.
