Chapter 152 Twelve Branches_1

```

Time, February 2017.

Incident, S-class wanted criminal Chen Shengcong was exposed by Magic City University Trainer Xie Qingyi, who recognized and arrested him.

Besides, Chen Shengcong secretly contacted external forces and was even suspected of treason.

Jinling City General Hospital.

Fang Yuan lay in a coma on the hospital bed.

He had a very long dream, in which Eevee was controlled by Drug R and its life hung in the balance...

"Cough—"

Fang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and then he saw a face.

"You're in the hospital, calm down, you're still injured."

Confusion was evident in Fang Yuan's pupils as he looked at the person in front of him, recalling what had happened before.

Xie Qingyi fought Chen Shengcong...

Eevee went berserk again, and he... had passed out while trying to help Eevee.

"Where's Eevee?" Fang Yuan asked urgently.

The damn Eevee... dared to attack him, but that was no longer what Fang Yuan was concerned about.

He was now only worried about Eevee's safety.

"Eevee? It's encountered a bit of a problem, but its life is not in danger. It's currently on the bed next to you, rest assured," the doctor said as he drew back the curtain.

Fang Yuan immediately saw Eevee, also asleep, on the bed above, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Eevee?"

"About that..." the doctor said, "I can't really say, I'm not the doctor responsible for Pokémon."

Fang Yuan's heart sank, but just at that moment, someone suddenly visited.

With the doctor's permission, this bespectacled girl with tea-colored short hair entered the ward.

"You're awake."

"You are Xie..."

Fang Yuan looked towards her, this person was Xie Qingyi, who had abruptly burst into the Qingmu Research Institute and saved him and Eevee.

Xie Qingyi glanced at both Fang Yuan and Eevee and apologized, "It was my lack of consideration that put you and Eevee in danger, I apologize to you both first."

"No..." Fang Yuan shook his head, "Even before this incident, that person had already made Eevee drink another drug. If it weren't for your help, we might really have been in danger. Now I just want to know, how is Eevee?"

Xie Qingyi pondered briefly and then said, "Rotom, tell him the copy of the medical report."

As she spoke, a Pokémon resembling a smartphone flew out from her pocket, and an electronic voice started, "Beep... beep... beep... Loading complete, after examination, new genes have appeared in Eevee's body, while the other genes are gradually solidifying from their original irregular nature. Besides that, its brain has suffered serious damage, spiritual power has surged unexpectedly, and since we don't know when it might wake up, it's hard to judge whether the situation is good or bad, Rotom."

The smartphone Rotom, like an artificial intelligence, informed Fang Yuan of Eevee's medical report.

"Is there any hidden danger?" Fang Yuan asked, not quite understanding.

"Unclear, we haven't discovered a similar case so far, so the risks are unknown. Eevee's genes are almost all irregular, and the solidification and emergence of new genes is unprecedented. I can only suggest that you refrain from letting Eevee come into contact with radioactive objects, such as Evolutionary Stones. As for the changes in spiritual power, it might be due to Eevee using some method to stimulate its spiritual power to suppress the negative effects brought about by the drug it consumed, Rotom."

"That's about it; Rotom's analysis shouldn't be wrong," Xie Qingyi said.

Fang Yuan fell into deep thought, new genes? Gene solidification? He couldn't understand at all.

The sudden increase in spiritual power, could it be that Eevee had used the Retribution Training Method at that time to tap into its brain's potential to counteract the side effects of Drug R?

"By the way, don't worry about the cost of treatment or the examination, I will arrange it for you."

"As for Eevee's issue, my teacher, Dr. Li Qing from Demon Capital University, has done extensive research in this area. You rest assured and recover; when the time comes, I will ask her to visit," Xie Qingyi said.

"Also, don't worry about your academic issues. With that thesis on the Dangerous Premonition trait, even if you don't take the college entrance exam, I can assure you admission into Mo Da. So you and Eevee, just focus on getting checked and rest here."

"Thank you..."

```

Fang Yuan looked at Eevee with mixed feelings.

Feeling slightly guilty for involving Fang Yuan, Xie Qingyi left the hospital ward, only to discover a group of people in the corridor.

They were researchers, clad in lab coats, likely from the Jinling Trainer Association.

At the moment, they were presenting documents and arguing with the hospital leadership.

"That's the situation, according to the latest intelligence, the patient's Eevee has ingested forbidden medication and possesses dangerous elements, so it would be best if we took over."

"For you to take over?"

Xie Qingyi stepped forward, interrupting their conversation.

"Who are you?" The leading researcher frowned and asked Xie Qingyi.

"And what if dangerous elements are discovered?" she asked.

"In that case, such a Pokemon is no longer suitable as a beginner elf for new trainers. For safety reasons, we will reclaim the Pokemon and provide the trainer with certain compensation."

After the statement, Xie Qingyi calmly uttered one word: "Scram."

She didn't need to think to know that these researchers were eyeing Eevee, whose successful adaptation to the R drug made it highly valuable for research, something that could drive Chen Shengcong mad and be coveted by other researchers.

Despite being a valid excuse, from a trainer's perspective, Xie Qingyi strongly disliked such behavior.

Even if Eevee did pose a danger, it was not for these people to handle.

"You..." The leading researcher's brow furrowed, and he turned to the hospital leadership accompanying him, "Please give us an explanation, we are representing the Jinling Trainer Association."

The hospital leadership was sweating profusely, unable to properly express their difficulty.

"The young lady is right, scram as far as you can. I'll deal with this newbie trainer's affairs."

Suddenly, laughter echoed as an old man dressed like a vagabond appeared in the hospital, seemingly out of nowhere.

If Fang Yuan saw him, he would recognize the man immediately as the one who had given him a Pretentious moves cheat book in the alley.

"You are..." The leading researcher began to speak, but as he saw the old man's face, he quickly adopted a flattering smile, "So it turns out to be Elder Mr. Kong. We've heard of your arrival in Jinling, and since you are handling this matter, we believe there will be no mistakes. With that, we will take our leave."

After the old man appeared, the researchers retreated in defeat, leaving the hospital leadership breathing a sigh of relief, as the key figure was now involved.

Even Xie Qingyi respectfully turned her attention to the old man.

A representative of the "Pig" among the Twelve Branches of the Trainer Association Headquarters, Kong Hai was not only a core senior member of the Trainer Association Headquarters but also one of the top trainers in Hua Nation, as well as a top psychic.

"Elder Mr. Kong..." Xie Qingyi greeted respectfully.

"The young fellow is all right, isn't he?" Kong Hai asked.

"There shouldn't be any major problems."

"Good, it would be a shame otherwise."

Xie Qingyi hesitated slightly, then asked, "Do you know him?"

The same day Xie Qingyi fought with Chen Shengcong, foreign trainers contacted by Chen to scout the situation were instantly suppressed; there were no survivors, all thanks to this Elder Mr. Kong Hai.

In addition, because professional trainers from the Jinling Trainer Association arrived on time, Chen Shengcong ultimately failed to turn the tide. Even though he had contacted foreign powers in advance, he couldn't escape the province, let alone cross national borders.

The Pig among the Twelve Branches was said to be laid-back and carefree, appearing casual and scattered, with a fondness for wandering all over the country. This demeanor concealed his considerable strength, and his favorite pastime was to mentor seemingly talented new generation trainers he encountered.

"Oh, that kid, I have a bit of an impression," he said, digging at his ear.

"Let's not talk about him. Young lady, you were actually able to suppress that fugitive; that's really remarkable. That man's capabilities, aren't they said to be quite strong even among professional trainers? What do you think, are you interested in becoming my apprentice?" Kong Hai asked with a smile.

"Don't you already have an apprentice like Su Shu? Isn't he enough for you?" Xie Qingyi replied with a slight smile.

Su Shu, a psychic and professional trainer under thirty. Ranking among the Four Heavenly Kings in the Hua Nation King's Tournament, he was a representative figure among Hua Nation's new generation of trainers and a national-level star trainer.

"You're not inferior to him."

"Thank you for your offer, but I don't need a teacher..."
