After news spread that Yong had demonstrated Mega Evolution, the Hoenn League announced that Shiyan Yong had become a Pokémon Junior Researcher!
This title was awarded only to those who made outstanding scientific contributions to the Pokémon League!
When Yong put down the phone at the Pokémon Center in Mokutō Town, he... was completely stunned!
He had only meant to ask his family to send all the upcoming supplies to Mokutō Town, but his mother had dropped this news on him instead!
So many factions are supporting me?
But I've never even met Clair from Blackthorn City!
Marshal of the Fighting type? One of the "Seventeen Families"... why?
This doesn't make sense!

The boy scratched his head, his face full of doubt.

Clearly, Yong had his doubts about the importance of Mega Evolution... wouldn't Dynamax, Terastallization, and Z-Moves be even more outrageous in the future?
Wouldn't Ultra Beasts be even more frightening?
Yong sighed helplessly. Although he did want to become a Junior Researcher, he hadn't wanted to enter the public eye in such a high-profile way.
This uproar might cause some people to back off and stop targeting him, but he could foresee even fiercer schemes coming his way in the future!
What's done is done. What else can I do?
Then I'll get stronger as quickly as possible!
Only with enough strength can I keep those scoundrels in check!
Determination filled the boy's eyes as he clenched his fists, then
