Chapter 092

"Alex. Come in" said Professor Oak when he heard knocks on the door.

"Did you ask to see me Professor?" asked Alex as he entered the Professor's office.

"Yes. I wanted to talk to you about a few things. First, the King's Rock and its profits are slowly trickling on. But I can't unload the whole batch of them immediately, so it will tale some time for you to get all your share of the profits" said the Professor.

"Yes sir. I understand that" replied Alex

"Good. The second thing I wanted to tell was regarding the royalties from the copyright of your discoveries. There is no fixed reward for the discovery of a new type, as no one at the Alliance thought of it happening. Because every book and documentary in the future must have Fairy type, as it is one of the basic types in it, if royalties are paid for each mention of Fairy types like the for procedure for evolution......." he said, then changed the topic, "The point is its highly unlikely the copyright will be awarded for the discovery of Fairy type. Of course, the Alliance will definitely send give some form of rewards or benefits, but I agreed to let Augustine enjoy the bulk of it" said the Professor.

"I understand Professor. He was the first one to propose the Fairy type. And he was also leading Project Fairy" replied Alex.

"I am glad you do. Augustine desperately needs research funds and connections. The discovery of Fairy type could give confidence to many potential investors. The lab he established in Lumious City of Kalos is still very underwhelming. He desperately needs some upgrades" said Professor Oak.

"On the other hand, the discovery of the evolution methods of Sylveon definitely belong to you, along with the 4 others you have discovered" continued Professor Oak. "And the copyright for 50 years applies to this case. And unlike the evolution methods of Politoed and Slowking you discovered, this copyright is worth a lot due to the popularity of Eevee and its evolutions. Hence, I decided to negotiate something for you as a reward for all the things you have done so far."

"What reward Professor?" asked Alex excitedly.

"Do you know of PokePublishers?" asked the Professor.

"Yes. PokePublishers are the number one book publishing house in the world. It is partially owned by the Pokemon Allaince. Many popular reference books and most of the accepted textbooks in academies are published by them. They also paid me royalties for the inclusion of Slowking and Politoed in their 'Branched Evolutions' book" said Alex. "Are they going to make a major feature on the 5 Eevee evolutions I have discovered and pay me royalties?" asked Alex exitedly.

"That was their initial plan. But I know some people in the publishing house and decided to get them to give a better offer" said Professor Oak.

"What is it Professor?" asked Alex impatiently.

Professor Oak pulled out a sheet of paper from underneath his files and handed it to Alex and said, "This is an agreement letter by PokePublishers, commissioning Researcher Burns to write a book on all the evolutions of Eevee. According to the agreement, they will publish the book you write and give you 20% of the profits to you" revealed Professor Oak.

Alex turned giddy with joy. PokePublishers had a market in all 6 regions of the world. There were millions of people who would buy books from them. Even if this book on Eeveelutions was a smaller and thus a lower priced book, with the number of people who would buy it, 20% of the profits were going to be an enormous sum.

"Thank you so much Professor!" said Alex happily.

"You are welcome. This is what you deserve. You can take a look at this agreement and sign it if you feel it is acceptable. After you sign this agreement of intent, the formal contact signing will take place soon after. You should take 3 months off from any research project and duties at Oak Corall, and concentrate writing this book as best as you can" said Professor Oak.

Alex went back to his house and looked over the agreement. It was as Professor Oak said. 20% of the profits for a book, which would be published with the author's name as Researcher Burns. He could select the title, format and content as he wishes, providing he gets the approval of the people from the publishing house. Also, Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon were discovered way moree than a hundred years ago, so they were in the public domain and he shoud include them too, to write about the eight evolutions of Eevee. There was even a paragraph that said the book could be republised if any new evolution of Eevee was discovered, but a part of his profits would be reduced and awarded to the discoverer if it was not him.

"I know exactly what to title this book!" thought Alex. "Its name shall be Eeveelution!"
