"Okay, Lu Chen, you can just go with Xiaoxue and the others later. Also... remember one thing: when you get close to the Ice Lake, don't be reckless. The environment there is even colder than here, so make sure you keep warm!"

"Understood." Lu Chen nodded.

soon.

Qiao Kexin and Wu Xue led Lu Chen to the Ice and Snow Lake.

This lake is rumored to be exceptionally magical.

It appears to be only a few hundred square meters in size, and you can see the entire panorama at a glance.

Around the lake, there were a dozen or so trainers and researchers wearing cold-weather gear.

Looking at the three people who had arrived.

The trainer standing guard nearby immediately raised his arm to signal, but upon closer inspection of Qiao Kexin and Wu Xue's appearance and the medical kits they were carrying, he realized that...

They all lowered their guard. (Excellent!)

After all, they were quite satisfied with the two students that Teacher Li Qing had introduced to them recently.

The opponent's Pokémon had an excellent grasp of healing moves. In the wild, where there were no healing facilities, the healing abilities of both of their Pokémon greatly helped them explore the bottom of the lake, proving more effective than any healing items.

"this……"

When the guard looked at Lu Chen.

Suddenly even my breathing became heavier!

"You...you are Lu Chen!?"

"Uh...it's me, but you don't need to be so polite." Lu Chen didn't expect that everyone here could recognize him.

"I've always wanted to thank you! Back then at Shengjing Shopping Center, if it weren't for your help, my family would probably... be in trouble."

what?

So that's what it was about.

Lu Chen smiled helplessly.

The two started chatting right away.

Qiao Kexin and Wu Xue, who were standing nearby, exchanged a glance and then fell silent after listening to the conversation between the two.

This trainer named Lu Chen...

They actually did something like that?!

After putting on your winter clothes.

Lu Chen, Qiao Kexin, and Wu Xue were escorted to the lakeside by the security personnel with smiles.

This caused a great stir in the hearts of the two of them.

God knows...

When the two of them arrived here earlier.

But he was stared at coldly by the guard for quite a while.

If they hadn't demonstrated their medical capabilities, they probably wouldn't even be able to get in now.

How could they possibly be sent to the lakeside with such a smile?

The three of them arrived at the lakeside.

In the lake, some water-type spirits are still swimming around.

Some people also occasionally draw water from the lake and put it into different test tubes.

After arriving at the lake.

After giving Lu Chen and his group a few instructions, the security guard left.

After all, this is a special situation, and he cannot leave his post for too long.

Simultaneously.

Looking at the three newcomers, not far away...

A researcher wearing a thick winter coat walked over.

"Lu Chen".

"Hmm? That voice...you're Dr. Chen?!"

Hearing the voice of the researcher who was heavily wrapped up in front of him, Lu Chen asked a question.

"Yes, it's me. Long time no see!"

Chen Anping smiled as he removed the mask from his winter coat, revealing a weathered, masculine face.

"Dr. Chen, you're also researching the icy lake here!?"

Looking at the other person's soaked winter clothes, Lu Chen roughly understood the Pokémon Association's arrangements.

After all, Chen Anping is a genius scholar with exceptional research capabilities.

It's impossible to just leave it at the medical school of the Northern Associated University and not use it.

"Hmm, I must say this icy lake is truly a masterpiece of nature; its origins are completely unfathomable..." Chen Anping exclaimed before continuing:

"Are you here to train the giant tongue clam? Be careful not to disturb the staff over there. They haven't slept for almost four or five days in order to produce results as soon as possible, so they're probably not in a good mood."

“No problem,” Lu Chen said, indicating that he understood.

Everyone else is working, so he naturally won't cause trouble.

Moreover.

His purpose was simple: he wanted to see what was so magical about the icy lake.

After obtaining Chen Anping's permission.

Lu Chen immediately released two Poké Balls, sending Beedrill and Shellder towards the lake.

Pfft!

A flash of red light.

Upon entering the lake, the giant tongue clam felt as if its entire body had been cleansed; the icy cold lake water was like cool well water on a sweltering summer day.

It constantly nourishes and cleanses its body from every part.

And Beedrill.

It stopped above the lake surface, touched the surface slightly with its needle arm, and then immediately turned to look at Lu Chen.

"Hiss~!"

"Ah? I knew it..."

Sensing Beedrill's feelings, Lu Chen turned to Chen Anping and said:

"Dr. Chen, the water of the Ice Lake should have a certain advantage against Poison-type Pokémon. Have you figured this out yet?"

"Forehead……"

Chen Anping looked at Lu Chen in surprise.

The conclusion Lu Chen mentioned has indeed been discovered.

but……

Is Lu Chen's research intuition really that sharp?

How long has he been at the lake?

Chen Anping admired him. Just this research intuition alone made Lu Chen fully worthy of the researcher title that the Pokémon Association had exceptionally granted him.

It’s really awesome!

They actually had Beedrill verify their hypothesis right off the bat. They're unfathomable!

“That’s true,” Chen Anping said in a deep voice.

Also.

Chen Anping also discovered something.

Lu Chen's Beedrill... how come its stinger has grown so much larger since we last met?!

However, compared to Chen Anping's surprise.

Lu Chen released the Beedrill so that it could see whether there was any life energy in this icy lake.

After all, it is said that the water of the icy lake can heal injuries.

Just looking at it now.

Whether the lake water possesses life energy is another matter, but upon contact with this water, the emotions transmitted back by the Beedrill told Lu Chen…

It is very unaccustomed to the lake water here, and can even be described as rejecting it.

The root cause of their mutual repulsion should be their inherent toxicity and the lake's purifying ability.

"The water from the Frozen Lake can be used as a weakened version of the antidote, so Poison-type Pokémon probably won't like it..."

Qiao Kexin put down the medical kit and spoke.

at this time.

Qiao Kexin and Wu Xue's gazes also turned to Beedrill... such a huge Beedrill...

It was the first time they had ever seen it either.

I just don't understand why Lu Chen, who is supposed to be quite powerful in other people's eyes, would tame such a common elf?

The other trainers present, upon seeing the Beedrill queen, all stood up in surprise, looking like they wanted to come over but hesitated...

It seems that it was this bee, which was different from its own kind, that recognized Lu Chen's identity.

The giant tongue clam that Lu Chen sent out was completely ignored by them...

It's a Shellder that hasn't fully evolved yet. It's probably a new Pokémon that Lu Chen just caught, and it hasn't grown to the strength of Beedrill yet.
