After the gym battle, the atmosphere in the Vermilion City Gym gradually settled. My mind was still immersed in thoughts about the Electric Terrain used in the battle. While contemplating its effects, I instructed Rotomdex, "Note the diffusion of electric energy from the field."

Lt. Surge, having completed his numerous daily challenges and tasks, finally had some time to spare. I then shifted my focus to the goal of the day.

As I pondered different approaches to convince Surge to assist with the Electirizer project, ranging from sharing the patent to employing some old-fashioned persistence, the gym leader approached me with a military ration bar in hand. "I must say, Archer, you are quite the talented one. I only started looking for news about you, after the gym battle with Flint. And not just me, you've left quite an impression on many people," Surge remarked, offering a nod of acknowledgment.

"Thank you," I replied with a modest smile, recognizing the impact of recent events. "Sir, I would like your help in something."

Seizing the moment, I retrieved both the Electirizer and Electabuzz from their respective Poké Balls. Rotomdex projected the data of both my Pokémon and the innovative evolutionary prototype I had crafted. "This converter changes the frequency of electricity given to it into Electabuzz's frequency, and then the regulator is fixed to change with the rapidly increasing limits in the evolution process," I explained, showcasing the intricate workings of the device.

Surge scratched his head, studying the simulation displayed on Rotomdex. His keen eyes observed the detailed process from Electirizer to Electabuzz's evolution. After a moment of silence, he began to comment on the changes, his words coming in rapid sequences. "The converter is incredible. You essentially made a custom charging point for Electabuzz. I would like to order some for myself because the ones I have are plain wasteful in terms of efficiency ," he declared, expressing genuine interest and admiration.

Proudly acknowledging the recognition of my invention, I nodded in agreement. "Now, the regulator, while it's incredible that you managed to get it to adjust with the evolution process," Surge continued, his tone turning thoughtful. He shook his head and delivered a surprising suggestion. "I regret to waste your work, but just get rid of it."

His words caught me off guard, and I looked at him in surprise. Surge elaborated on his reasoning, "While the regulator you made essentially ensures a safe evolution, it has two downsides. First, the regulator passively increases the limit, adjusting to them as evolution goes on. But it's nowhere near as active as the increase a Pokémon endures during the charge. Second, you don't know how long the evolution will go on for. Each second makes it valuable."

I contemplated his words, recognizing his reasons behind the advice.

Surge continued to offer valuable insights, "While the frequency is solved by you, I mostly advise you to use the most powerful kickstarter for Electirizer as you can. The more electricity you can charge in the bolt, the better. Just use Charge+Thunderbolt. Trust me on this; it will be a lot helpful to you. Your Electirizer essentially allows your Electabuzz to skip the years of strenuous training required to increase the power of electricity."

Taking in Surge's advice, I acknowledged, "It is the law of evolution; the tougher the evolution conditions, the greater the power gain." Surge nodded in agreement, "A quote from Professor Rowan. I must say, with the previous two discoveries and this, the old guys will have no choice but to give you a professor's license to study Evolution items."

Smirking in response, I stated, "I am sure they will, not to mention they still haven't finalized the dates for the announcements of previous ones. Now with this," I gestured to express my impatience,

"No need to worry, little guy. While the previous ones just require items in the wild, which the petty officials must be collecting to pocket some profits. So they will delay for as long as they can citing reasons like your are lucky or coincidences.

But with this Electirizer, they have no chance but to fast-track the procedure."

I laughed at that, no matter the place, the politicians always bend the rules to profit. The good ones have limits they won't cross and as for the bad ones, I pity the miserable citizens under them.

I bid farewell to Surge, his words echoing in the air, "Do call if you succeed." Nodding in acknowledgment, I replied with a quick "Sure."

As I made my way towards the exit of the gym, Surge called after me, curiosity evident in his voice, "Hey Archer, have you decided on the name in case of success?"

I glanced back at him, a smile playing on my lips, and responded while walking out into the bright daylight, "I will send a pic of Electivire. Stay tuned,"
