Lu Ze was dragged into the laboratory by Lu Ba and very cooperatively shared some of his ideas.
His reward was a vigorous series of shoulder pats from Lu Ba.
"Haha, good boy! Why become a Breeder? Wouldn't it be better to do research with me? You definitely inherited your dad's intelligence!"
Lu Ze wryly pulled Lu Ba's hand away. Lu Ma must not hear that, since she had always believed her son inherited her intelligence.
"Dad, go do your research first. I'm going to check on Milotic."
Having gotten the answer he wanted, Lu Ba no longer paid him any mind. He waved Lu Ze off, then turned around to study the Energy Cubes.
Lu Ze had given Lu Ba a box of Energy Cubes for research.
He had also shared some of his own thoughts with Lu Ba.
For example, perhaps it could evolve because it had become beautiful.
Perhaps because of Lu Ma's praise.
Perhaps it evolved because being praised had put it in a good mood, and so on.
Lu Ba said that although it made no sense, it also made a lot of sense. Then he began looking through materials and studying the Energy Cubes.
It was not as though there had never been cases of domesticated Feebas evolving into Milotic before.
But whenever such a case appeared, it always sparked a wave of research.
The problem was that nothing ever came of it. As a result, although people were still enthusiastic about Milotic, Researchers were no longer quite as passionate.
But that was Lu Ba's business. Lu Ze only needed to wait for the results.
Lu Ze came out and looked at Milotic, who was showing off her body in the pool.
