Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

Chapter 106: Evolution through Food?

"Meow?"

Meow Meow, who was busy grooming herself, obviously didn't expect that even after she had already given one classmate a hard time, someone would still dare to choose her.

High skill breeds daring?

Or is the brain entangled with the cerebellum?

Facing the meow's gentle yet highly warning gaze, Lu An smiled slightly and gently pushed the sky-blue energy cube in front of it:

"Meow, you're gathering energy to evolve, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, from the warning-looking Meow Meow, the students watching the show, the nervous Keiko, to Natsume who was looking forward to how things would develop.

Only Nagata Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

However, the tear troughs on both sides of his nose became a bit deeper.

"Meow!"

When Lu An pointed out that Meow Meow was preparing to evolve, Meow Meow, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground with an elegant expression, became restless.

Its limbs were taut, its sharp claws gripped the ground tightly, its back was slightly arched, and its soft fur stood on end due to its excitement.

Clearly, Meow Meow is very nervous right now.

Most Pokémon in the world go through three stages: baby, adult, and ultimate.

As their body energy gradually increases until it is completely full, they will enter the next stage.

In Pokémon studies, this is called evolution.

Lu An was right; this cat was indeed accumulating energy, preparing to complete the most important life leap of its existence.

It is precisely to complete this crucial moment that it remains vigilant at all times and shows no interest in the energy blocks offered to it, casually knocking them away.

Because it will not allow its body to experience any recent abnormalities.

That black energy cube clearly exuded an ominous aura.

If Meow Meow accidentally takes a bite, she's not sure if her body, which is now almost at its optimal state, will experience any changes.

But what it didn't expect was that the man in front of it would expose the truth it had carefully hidden at a glance.

This threat to its life forced it to become tense.

Huizi looked at Lu An with surprise: "Lu An, how did you know this cat was going to evolve?"

"experience."

It wasn't Lu An who answered Keiko, but Nagata Yu, who had a serious expression:

"There are many theories in academia about the conditions for Pokémon evolution, such as age, strength, and energy, but none of these can accurately describe the state of all Pokémon."

"However, Dr. Elm, a renowned Pokémon evolutionary biologist who studied at Celadon University and apprenticed under Professor Oak, the foremost expert in Pokémon studies, once said:"

'Pokémon evolution is a very mysterious moment; it's almost irreversible, a moment that propels a Pokémon into a new life. However, Pokémon evolution is not unobservable. If a trainer or researcher carefully observes a Pokémon's physical condition, grasps its life energy, and is familiar with its habits, it's possible to accurately predict this moment before it evolves.'

"In other words, if someone is familiar enough with Pokémon, they can tell whether it has the conditions to evolve."

If the fact that Lu An's Energy Cubes were popular with Pokémon before was just a difference between proficiency level 1 and 99, then...

Keiko was certain that even if the other thirty students in the class were given a lifetime, they still wouldn't be able to determine whether a Pokémon was about to evolve.

"Is this really something that can be seen with the naked eye?"

Huizi had no longer cared about the proper teacher-student relationship at this moment, and her tone became a little harsher.

Not only Keiko, but even Natsume-sensei was embarrassed:

"Professor You, although I've heard of renowned professors like Professor Oak and Professor Elm who can spot a Pokémon about to evolve at a glance, isn't it a bit too far-fetched that Lu An could tell Meowth was about to evolve at a glance?"

"Do other advanced, no, top-tier breeders have this ability?"

Nagata Yu's gaze deepened:

"As far as I know, the top breeders in Kanto do have this ability, but unfortunately, I have never seen it with my own eyes."

"Before Lu An pointed it out, even as a senior breeder, I could only vaguely sense that something was wrong with this cat's condition."

One student couldn't help but speak up:

"Teacher You, aren't you overestimating Lu An? Didn't you say that even you don't have this kind of ability? Lu An is still a student, how could he possibly be more proficient than you?"

Nagata Yu slowly shook his head:

"We'll find out soon enough whether his assessment is accurate."

You mean...?

Nagata Yu turned his gaze back to Lu An:

"If I'm not mistaken, he intends to use the energy contained within the energy cube to help Meow Meow break the last shackle of life leap and thus complete its evolution."

Use the energy within the energy cube to help Meow Meow evolve?

Everyone was stunned when they heard Chang Tianyou's conjecture.

Although Lu An had already surprised them enough today, when they heard this conjecture, the thought of denial still flashed through their minds.

As students majoring in nurturing, they knew that the energy cube contained a portion of energy.

This energy can help Pokémon enhance certain abilities, such as strength or speed.

It can also help Pokémon change their appearance, such as becoming more handsome or more beautiful.

But they'd never even heard of using Power Cubes to evolve Pokémon, let alone seen it with their own eyes!

"That can't be, right?"

A murmur arose from the crowd, which was met with nods of agreement from most of the people.

This is no longer just a sophistry born of envy; they genuinely believe that using Power Cubes to help Pokémon evolve sounds utterly absurd.

This is the Pokémon world, do you think this is Food Wars!

However, when their gaze fell upon Nagata Yu, they were speechless.

If these words had come from someone else, even Natsume-sensei, they would have elicited a chorus of low laughter.

However, since these words came from the mouth of Tian You, a highly respected senior mentor, they could not refute them.

Could it be that Professor Nagata Yu's deduction is true?

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lu An simply pushed the energy cube a little closer to Meow Meow with a calm expression:

"Nya-san, no, Nya-chan, I think my energy cubes are pretty good. If you trust me, why don't you give them a try?"

"Let's see if it can help you achieve a leap in life, evolving from a meow into an elegant and powerful cat boss."
