Chapter 93 Defect or Talent_1

Eevee's abnormal behavior made Fang Yuan tense.

He glanced at the destroyed smartphone, his head pounding painfully.

This was Eevee's second life... How should he soothe Eevee now?

"Eevee, calm down for a moment."

Fang Yuan pulled Eevee away from Magnemite, fearing they might start fighting.

"Bwoo! Bwoo? Bwoo! Eevee—"

Eevee vented its frustrations towards the exploded smartphone, then angrily looked at Magnemite, blaming it for being the main culprit.

"Magnemite..." Magnemite still looked innocent, constantly shaking its body to show it was unaware.

Dad Fang and Mom Fang looked on blankly, unclear about what had happened.

But Fang Yuan had probably figured out the cause and effect.

Cause of the incident: He asked Eevee to play with Magnemite.

Course of the incident: After the two Pokemon communicated for a while, Eevee had a bright idea to play games with Magnemite.

Outcome of the incident: For some reason, upon contact with the smartphone, it exploded.

A rather easy-to-understand event...

As for Eevee... It was precisely because its beloved phone had been destroyed that it was able to tap into Emotional Energy in its agitated state.

Fang Yuan really hadn't expected that Eevee, with its Soothing Bell, would be the first to master Rage Energy, which it wasn't supposed to be particularly good at...

Learning how to redirect anger... For the adorable Eevee, the concept seemed a bit strange.

But the concern now wasn't about the redirection of anger, it was about Eevee's feelings and the cause of the smartphone explosion.

After Fang Yuan's earnest persuasion, promising to buy a new phone as compensation, Eevee finally calmed down.

"Bwoo..."

However, seeing the shattered phone case at its feet, Eevee still felt somewhat heartbroken.

...

"Well... That's pretty much what happened."

After Eevee, still fuming, dragged another phone back to Fang Yuan's bedroom, Fang Yuan explained everything to Dad Fang and Mom Fang.

Beside them, Magnemite looked dejected, worried that it might be kicked out because of this incident.

"It shouldn't be as our son said, there are many Magnemites and Thunderballs raised in power plants, and staff have used smartphones in front of them without any such incidents," Dad Fang said.

"Moreover, if Magnemite could cause smartphone explosions, our case definitely wouldn't be the first, there should have been reports about it long ago."

Dad Fang couldn't make sense of it.

Smartphone explosions, in fact, the real root cause of smartphone explosions is the battery exploding.

However, Fang Yuan bought his phone from a legitimate store, which theoretically should not have any internal defects in the batteries.

Eevee by itself had no issues, but strangely enough, the phone exploded instantly upon Magnemite's contact, so it's no wonder Fang Yuan was overthinking it.

"Magnemite, did you emit any electricity or absorb any power before the phone exploded?" Dad Fang asked.

Magnemite shook its head to deny it.

"Have you ever released an electromagnetic wave?" Fang Yuan asked.

The Little Magnetic Monster still shook its head in denial.

"Nowadays, electronic devices have protective materials on the outside, so unless Electric Elves directly attack, even if there's a higher concentration of them, at most it would only interfere with communication signals," Father Fang said.

"Then what on earth is going on..." Fang Yuan was troubled. If the Little Magnetic Monster couldn't even release the electromagnetic waves that block gravity and enable flying, how could it suddenly emit an electromagnetic wave powerful enough to blow up a cellphone?

As if the Little Magnetic Monster was some sort of portable Electromagnetic Pulse Weapon!

...

After discussing for a long time, Dad Fang and Mom Fang couldn't come to any conclusion. In the end, Mother Fang suggested sending the Little Magnetic Monster back to the power plant. After some contemplation, Father Fang did not argue; who could have thought that just after two days of its arrival, the Little Magnetic Monster would bring danger to their home!

Fortunately, it was only a small cellphone, and no one was hurt.

But what if next time it's the TV or the computer that explodes?

Clearly, the Little Magnetic Monster was now seen as a dangerous creature by the Fang Family. If it was the phone's own fault, that would have been fine, but if it was caused by the Little Magnetic Monster, even Father Fang wouldn't dare to casually keep it as a pet anymore.

"Magnemite..." As Father Fang hesitated, the Little Magnetic Monster's mood became increasingly gloomy.

It truly didn't know what was going on!

But, under the current circumstances, the Little Magnetic Monster simply couldn't explain itself clearly.

"I think..."

Fang Yuan looked at the Little Magnetic Monster and suddenly spoke up, "Even if it really was the Little Magnetic Monster's fault, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing."

After hearing so much discussion from Dad Fang and Mom Fang about sending the Little Magnetic Monster back to the power plant, and observing its increasingly depressed expression, Fang Yuan suddenly felt a pang of empathy.

In fact, from the moment Dad Fang and Mom Fang started discussing the Little Magnetic Monster, Fang Yuan's thoughts were quite different from theirs.

As ordinary people, Dad Fang and Mom Fang first thought of the potential safety hazards the Little Magnetic Monster might bring to their home, which was indeed a valid concern.

However, Fang Yuan, as a Trainer, first thought about why a Little Magnetic Monster that could not even block gravity was causing such a commotion. He wondered if it might have some special talent.

Firstly, this particular Little Magnetic Monster couldn't fly, which meant it was definitely different from the others.

The Elf Doctor said it was a congenital defect, but that was just one perspective, not the absolute truth.

The exact reason wasn't even clear to the Elf Doctor.

After this incident, Fang Yuan had reason to suspect that the Little Magnetic Monster was not as simple as the doctor had described as a physical defect.

"Since the Elf Doctor can't find the reason, I'll take the Little Magnetic Monster to school tomorrow to see what's going on. I'll ask Teacher Li; perhaps he can give some advice from a Breeder's perspective."

Dad Fang and Mom Fang looked at each other, then turned to Fang Yuan, saying, "Can we do that?"

Fang Yuan nodded and said, "It should be fine."

Then, he looked at the Little Magnetic Monster and said, "Little Magnetic Monster, would you like to come with me to school tomorrow?"

"Maybe we can solve the problem of why your components can't emit electromagnetic waves together, and after that, you'd be able to fly."

"Magnemite...?" Noticing the chance for things to change, the Little Magnetic Monster showed a joyful expression and nodded at Fang Yuan.

However, although they had tentatively decided to take the Little Magnetic Monster to a professional Breeder for a check-up, they still had to return it to the Poké Ball.

With what had happened just before, even if Fang Yuan was relaxed about the situation, he had to admit his parents were right; the Little Magnetic Monster still posed some safety risks. Although it wouldn't explode like a Thunderball, it was capable of causing devices to explode, which was on par in terms of danger.

Father Fang found the Little Magnetic Monster's Poké Ball and placed it on the table. The Little Magnetic Monster, looking at the familiar Poké Ball, felt its mood continue to drop...

Just as the Little Magnetic Monster was about to enter the Poké Ball, an unexpected event occurred. Under its gaze, the Poké Ball moved slightly on the table... Had Fang Yuan not been so observant, this subtle change would have gone unnoticed.
