Now reading: Chapter 84 84: Genius or Hack? from Taboo Pokémon Trainer: The Pure White Ralts and the MILF Harem [R18], a Mature novel by puq.

In the ga, Compound Eyes is simple: it boosts the accuracy of moves by 30%. It's a straightforward, one-sentence description.

But if it's that simple, why did Mother Xue fall into a brooding silence?

Because in the real world, Ability Science has several "Abominations" that torture researchers. Butterfree is the poster child for the Compound Eyes dilemma. As a common, early-ga Bug-type with a short growth cycle, it's a favorite for commoner Trainers. Consequently, thousands of researchers have tried to crack its code.

And they all failed. They were all driven insane. To this day, no one can 100% confirm how the Ability works.

We know Butterfree has two potential Abilities: Tinted Lens and Compound Eyes.

Leaving the controversial Tinted Lens aside, let's look at Compound Eyes. To prove it boosts accuracy, you have to asure its impact, right? So, you take 100 Butterfrees and test a low-accuracy move. Probability dictates the ones with Compound Eyes should hit more often.

Bullshit.

In reality, accuracy isn't just an Ability stat. It's tied to the Pokémon's innate talent, its proficiency with the move, and its learning speed.

A Butterfree with Compound Eyes might just be naturally shitty at using that specific move. Even with the 30% boost, its hit rate might still be average. anwhile, a Butterfree without the Ability might be a combat prodigy who mastered the move in a day, giving it a higher hit rate than the "buffed" one.

You can never truly know the "base" talent of those 100 test subjects. You can't separate the Ability's boost from pure skill. There are too many variables.

If you try to publish a definitive number, rival companies like Penguin Corp will tear you apart with "Peer Review." They'll point out every variable you didn't control, and unless you have a testing thod that ignores talent and proficiency, you're just guessing.

That was why the departnt head was in despair. They usually just ignored submissions for Abilities like Compound Eyes. But Lorze was an insider with a direct line to the CEO; they couldn't just trash his work.

"I understand. Organize his submissions and forward them to . I'll make the final call," Mother Xue said, taking the burden upon herself.

The departnt head let out a breath of relief and imdiately hit 'Send.' There wasn't just Compound Eyes in that file; there were so truly absurd things in there. He just hoped the Chairman wouldn't have a heart attack.

Mother Xue wasn't expecting much. She sipped her coffee with a sense of disappointnt. No matter how well "researched" Compound Eyes was, the rivals would find a way to poke holes in it. It was low-value data.

She had expected so much more from Lorze. She was waiting for another world-shaking miracle. Instead, he was "word-padding" his research with hard-to-prove Abilities just to win a petty bet.

How is this different from a commoner hack? I'd rather he just forfeit than win like this. This isn't how a genius behaves.

Maybe I was too optimistic. At the end of the day, he's just a high schooler. He's at that age where pride and ego drive him to do stupid things without thinking.

But... is that all he is?

She opened the faxed docunts with a grimace, expecting a disaster...

"PFFFT!!!"

Mother Xue sprayed a mouthful of coffee across her desk. As her eyes scanned the dense, text-heavy pages, she realized she had been "lied" to by her departnt head!

Well, not lied to—Compound Eyes was in there. But it was just the tip of a massive iceberg. The departnt head had picked the most controversial one and ignored the rest!

Holy shit... Lorze... you really do know how to slap in the face when I least expect it.

She realized then that you should never try to view a genius through a "normal" lens. She began to laugh. This is the man I want to possess, no matter the cost!

She dove into the data, and the more she read, the more her heart hamred against her ribs.

The first entry was indeed Compound Eyes. The boy hadn't just made a claim; he had detailed the exact thodology. He even pinned the accuracy boost at precisely 30%.

Lorze's thod was ingeniously simple: use a Ralts to Trace the Ability, then have the sa Pokémon test moves with and without the Ability active.

Xue Tong's Gardevoir had tried this before, but she was too powerful and too skilled. Her base proficiency was so high that she hit everything 100% of the ti anyway, making the 30% boost invisible.

But Lorze's Ralts was a baby. Her talent was still raw, her proficiency low. She was the perfect control variable. By testing on a single subject, Lorze had effectively eliminated the "Individual Talent" variable that had haunted researchers for half a century.

The巴大蝶 (Butterfree) Demon... has it actually been slain by a high schooler?!

And it wasn't just one Demon. Lorze had submitted data on over 30 different Abilities! Many were previously "unverifiable" quirks, while others were entirely new, undiscovered traits!

If Snowhide published this all at once, the academic world wouldn't just be shaken—it would be leveled. Add this to the Umbreon/Espeon research? Snowhide wouldn't just be a market leader; they would be the undisputed gods of Pokémon Science.

She wanted to publish it right now. She was dying to see the chaos it would cause!

But first, they had to verify the "low-hanging fruit" to ensure the whole batch wasn't a fluke.

One Ability stood out: Sheer Force.

This was a brand-new discovery. Lorze had even provided a list of species that possessed it.

Sheer Force: Secondary effects of moves are nullified, but raw power is boosted by 30%.

Mother Xue wondered how the hell he even noticed this. Normally, if a secondary effect doesn't proc, you just assu you're unlucky. Who would deduce a 30% power boost from pure observation? The numbers were too specific.

But this was incredibly easy to test. Just have a Pokémon spam a move with a 100% secondary effect (like Fake Out or a stat-drop move). If the effect consistently fails but the damage is higher than expected, the Ability is real.

"Incredible. I'm arranging the tests imdiately." Mother Xue's eyes glowed with a predatory light. "I can't wait to announce the birth of a new god!"
