The product that Professor Charles and his students had spent over thirty years developing was, in fact, a new type of Pokémon Incubation Fluid. As everyone knew, incubation fluid was mainly used for hatching Pokémon eggs. Pokémon eggs could hatch naturally, but the time required for natural incubation ranged from as little as a week to as long as half a year or even a full year. Using incubation fluid, however, could greatly shorten the hatching time, and it had no negative side effects on the newborn Pokémon. In fact, the nutritional components in the solution were absorbed by the egg, resulting in a healthier hatchling. On the market, the price of incubation fluid varied based on its nutritional content, generally ranging from 10,000 to 100,000, with a few premium solutions costing over a million. Currently, three major companies in Drakoria produced most of the incubation fluid available on the market—one of them being the Walker Group. Almost every trainer who had a Pokémon egg would choose to use incubation fluid, and nearly all breeding companies used it for hatching. Whether a Pokémon was hatched using incubation fluid also affected its market price to a certain degree. Thus, the demand for incubation fluid was extremely high across the entire Pokémon market. For breeding companies in particular, it was practically indispensable. Its importance went without saying—it was the equivalent of baby formula for humans. High-quality formula allowed infants to grow faster, healthier, and smarter. The new incubation fluid developed by Professor Charles further enhanced these basic functions: for instance, Pokémon hatched with this solution would be even healthier and hatch even faster. However, these improvements were actually secondary. If that had been the only improvement, Professor Charles wouldn’t have spent over thirty years on this research. The most significant effect of this new incubation fluid was that it had a certain probability of improving a Pokémon’s potential. Over 99% of Pokémon in the world had Green-grade or lower potential, and those with Green-grade potential could only reach a maximum of pseudo–Elite tier. To become an Elite, a Pokémon's potential had to be atleast Cyan-grade. This was why the vast majority of trainers could never reach the Elite tier in their lifetime. At the same time, the majority of Pokémon with Cyan-grade potential were controlled by major families and top breeding companies. For ordinary people, obtaining a Cyan-grade Pokémon was practically impossible. And for a Green-grade Pokémon, the resources required to improve their potential to Cyan were beyond what most trainers could afford. But now, with Professor Charles’s newly developed incubation fluid, there was a chance—however small—for a Pokémon egg’s potential to improve. Even if the success rate was only one in ten thousand, the number of Cyan-grade Pokémon born in Drakoria each year would still see an explosive increase. With more Cyan-grade Pokémon available, more trainers would have the opportunity to own one, which meant the number of future Elite–level trainers would also grow. For any nation, Elite-level trainers were the backbone of its strength. Once their numbers rose, the country’s power would naturally increase as well. Although Drakoria had a population of over two billion, with approximately 500 million registered professional trainers—but among them, there were only a little over 600 Elite-level trainers. This highlighted just how low the proportion truly was. Moreover, the majority of these 600+ Elite trainers came from major clans. One could say that the clans had monopolized Cyan-grade potential Pokémon, and thus monopolized the nation’s Elite trainers. Of course, this was not unique to Drakoria—it was the same everywhere in the world. This situation only deepened the rift between the clans and the common people. If this new incubation fluid were to be put into use, it would be an incredibly uplifting news for grassroots trainers. Although, undoubtedly, the price of the fluid wouldn’t be cheap. But regardless of whether it resulted in more Elite trainers from the major families or from ordinary citizens, as long as the number of Elites increased, the biggest winner would still be Drakoria. After all, both the families and the ordinary citizens were Drakorians. "From this moment on, no one here is allowed to leave. I hope everyone can understand," Professor Charles said, looking around at the people in the lab. "Professor, we understand," his students nodded in agreement. This incubation fluid, capable of improving Drakoria’s national strength, could be considered a national treasure. Now that it had been successfully developed, to prevent information leakage, it was natural that no one here could leave. Furthermore, the laboratory itself was isolated from external signals. Professor Charles opened the laboratory door, where two guards stood watch. And they were no ordinary guards—both were fully-fledged late-stage Elite trainers. As a state-level key laboratory, having two late-stage Elite trainers guarding it was normal. Not only that, there were also several early-stage Elite trainers and dozens of pseudo–Elite trainers stationed outside. Because the experiment had reached its most critical stage, Professor Charles had called in both late-stage Elite trainers in advance. Normally, only one would have been present, with the other stationed elsewhere. "Professor Charles," one of the Elite trainers saluted him. Both of these Elite trainers were from the military. "Captain Zane, the incubation fluid has been successfully developed. I need to report this to the higher-ups immediately." As the captain, Zane had some understanding of what was being researched in the lab, having guarded it for over ten years. Hearing that the incubation fluid had finally been successfully developed, even his usually stern face couldn’t help but show a trace of excitement. He understood perfectly the significance of this achievement for the entire nation and immediately responded, "I'll make the preparations right away." "Max, you stay here." Zane instructed his companion, implying that he should keep an eye on all the researchers. Although they were all great contributors, this matter was far too critical for Drakoria. Only after all the materials were handed over and the confidentiality protocols fully implemented would the state provide them with compensation and substantial rewards. Max nodded. At his side, stood his Vileplume, emitting faint waves of a peculiar fragrance. "Max, your Vileplume’s in heat again." Catching the scent, Zane couldn’t help but comment. It was currently the mating season for Vileplume. In the wild, male Vileplume released a subtle fragrance to attract females. Exceptionally well-trained Vileplume could control the scent they emitted during this season, but clearly, Max’s Vileplume hadn’t quite mastered that yet. Having partnered with Max for many years, Zane encountered this scent annually and was long accustomed to it. "Captain, my Vileplume took a liking to a female Vileplume a while back. By the way, Professor Charles, do you have all the documents ready?" Max added. "Everything’s right here," Professor Charles said, pointing to the briefcase in his hand. There were electronic copies in the lab as well, but without the password he provided, they couldn’t be accessed. "Good, that’s fine then," Max nodded. "…My head feels a bit dizzy," someone in the lab said. Upto 30 chapters ahead on :- The most update n0vels are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
