Pokémon Breeder

Professor Oak tilted his head to look at Akimoto, and then spoke.

"You mentioned in your paper that the evolution of Pokémon requires a large amount of elemental power to be guided by the evolution factor, so as to transform the life level, right?"

"Yes." Akimoto nodded.

"That's right, do you think this Onix has any tendency to evolve?" Professor Oak took out an image of the super evolution of Steelix and handed it to Akimoto.

Then he added: "This Onix is ​​much stronger than Onix of the same size and talent level, both in strength and defense."

After listening to what Professor Oak said, Akimoto thoughtfully compared the super evolution of Steelix in the image with the Onix in front of him.

It seems that Onix looks a bit like Super Steelix.

Could it be...

Before Akimoto finished thinking, Professor Oak spoke out his guess first.

"Well, you guessed it, right? The peculiarity of this Rock Snake."

"Well, I have some clues."

"This Rock Snake belongs to Dr. Odamaki. He found it in a forest and subdued it. When Odamaki found it, it was absorbing a kind of light brown energy."

"Elemental power? Does it already have elemental power with color expression?"

"Yes, but your paper was not published at that time. We guessed that it was mutated by an unknown virus, but this explanation is obviously far-fetched."

"So it is possible that this Rock Snake has mastered the method of absorbing elemental power and has undergone unconventional evolution?"

Akimoto continued to talk along with Dr. Oak's meaning.

Dr. Oak just nodded and was about to say something, but the door was opened again, and a middle-aged man with a short middle-parted hair walked in.

"Dr. Odamaki, you've come just in time. This is Akimoto, and this girl should be Nellis, right?"

When Dr. Oak introduced Akimoto and the others to the newcomers, he mentioned Nellis and tilted his head to confirm with Nellis.

Nellis gave a proper greeting to Dr. Oak and Dr. Odamaki.

When she and Akimoto came in, before they had time to introduce themselves, Akimoto was called over by Dr. Oak.

Since everyone was a researcher, they didn't take these things very seriously, and Nellis didn't feel any strange emotions.

After that, everyone got to know each other. Akimoto was also quite familiar with this middle-aged man with a middle-parted hair, but the other party was not familiar with him.

"Just now we were discussing the problem of Onix, that... where were we talking about?"

Dr. Oak was talking, and suddenly forgot where the discussion had just gone, so he looked at Akimoto.

Akimoto added in time: "Onix may have mastered a special method to absorb a large amount of elemental power to achieve the effect of unconventional evolution."

"Yes, that's it." Dr. Oak nodded.

After Dr. Odamaki sat down, they talked about this topic for a while, and even Nairis and Xiaomao joined in.

The final conclusion was that Onix had undergone some unconventional evolution, but it may not have achieved a complete evolutionary effect due to insufficient elemental power, so there were only some slight changes.

However, Xiaomao was a die-hard fan of Akimoto, and his understanding of Akimoto's thesis was the deepest among those present except Akimoto himself.

He even discovered the points that Dr. Oak didn't notice.

Xiaomao suddenly spoke up and put forward a point that was worth discussing when the discussion was about to end.

"Didn't Akimoto's thesis mention that evolution stones are all elemental power in solid form?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Akimoto nodded, not knowing what Xiaomao was going to say.

"And you mentioned in your paper that the Mega Evolution Stone is a special form of Evolution Stone, a medium Evolution Stone among Evolution Stones, which can be used to guide the elemental power sufficient for Pokémon to Mega Evolve, right?"

"Is there? I don't seem to have seen this, ahaha, am I blurry-eyed, am I seeing it wrong?"

Dr. Oak listened to his grandson's speech and tried to recall it, and found that he really didn't notice that there was this point in Akimoto's paper.

The main reason is that Akimoto proposed too many theoretical directions in the argument of elemental power, which made him unable to remember it for a while.

If Xiaomao hadn't mentioned this, it would probably take a few days for Dr. Oak to find time to sort out the content of Akimoto's paper before he found it.

And Dr. Odamaki didn't pay much attention to such a theoretical point of view that Akimoto mentioned in one sentence in his paper, and only remembered it after trying hard to recall it.

It seems that Akimoto did mention the Mega Evolution Stone after explaining the formation of Evolution Stone.

"But what do you want to say?"

Akimoto followed Xiaomao's direction and asked this question, letting Xiaomao continue.

"I mean, in addition to the existing Mega Evolution Stones, are there other Mega Evolution Stones that have not been discovered?"

"That's for sure. There are still many areas that have not been discovered, and there are countless Pokémon that have not been discovered, so the Mega Evolution Stones will be the same."

Professor Oak said so.

But he obviously didn't understand what Xiaomao meant, but Nairis heard a hint of it.

"Xiaomao should be talking about the Mega Evolution Stone that belongs to Onix, right?"

"Yes! That's what I think!"

Xiao Mao looked at Nairis in agreement: "I think Onix's unconventional evolution may be that we haven't discovered the super evolution that he can do? Maybe this is his unfinished super evolution form?"

However, maybe Professor Oak has eaten too much cup noodles recently and has a little indigestion, and the reaction of the elderly has also appeared in him.

Fortunately, he didn't continue to speak, otherwise he would be slapped in the face by Akimoto who spoke later.

It's better not to argue, the elderly are thin-skinned and can't stand being hit.

Professor Oak silently lowered his head and looked at the photo drawing of Onix.

What a handsome Onix.

"It's not impossible. The super evolution state can indeed be maintained by absorbing elemental power quantitatively and in large quantities for a long time."

"If you look at it from your perspective, it is not difficult to guess that the elemental power he absorbed should not be enough to support the full super evolution form, but it is enough to maintain this form."

Nelise added in time: "So to verify this guess, you only need to drive away the rock attribute elemental power around him, right?"

"That's the truth, but I didn't bring the Pokémon with this ability with me..."

The test method has been proposed, but the problem now is that there is no way to verify it, which is very uncomfortable.

"Since there is a way, it will be the same to test it later." Dr. Oak looked at the time. Several people discussed here for a long time, and time passed quickly.

It was almost noon. Although he didn't have any important tasks, he was also one of the award presenters, including Dr. Odama.

And it seems that his original intention of calling Akimoto here was not to discuss the problem of Onix?

So Akimoto felt a chill rising from his back.

"What, what are you doing... Don't scare me, do you want to eat me with that look?"

"Where's my cup noodles?"

Dr. Oak's lips moved up and down, spitting out these few words, and then looked at Akimoto with a sharp gaze.

"You scared me to death, I thought it was something else, I didn't bring it with me, I left it in the hotel room, I'll give it to you later."

"Did you really bring it with you? Didn't forget? Isn't it an excuse? Young people can't lie to me, an old man!"

"...I really brought it with me, didn't forget, it's not an excuse. I won't lie to you..."

Akimoto smiled awkwardly, pulled the corners of his mouth, and then winked at Dr. Oak.

Although Dr. Oak's reaction to research is a bit slow at the moment, once he returns to the cup noodles, he is like a teenager.

Instantly understood what Akimoto meant.

"I carry it with me, if you want, I can give it to you first."

After that, Dr. Oak took out a red square machine the size of an adult male's palm from his pocket, which looks a bit like a pager.

"Is this the national illustrated book? It's no different from an ordinary illustrated book."

Akimoto took the illustrated book, looked at it carefully for a few times, and then saw the camera behind him and put his face close to the camera.

However, he was stopped by Professor Oak before he finished tinkering.

"If you use the camera to take a picture of yourself now, the illustrated book will be bound to your own information, and no one else can bind it."

Professor Oak naturally knew what Akimoto wanted the illustrated book for, so he quickly stopped Akimoto's childish behavior.

The national illustrated book uses face recognition binding, and it cannot be opened at will after it is produced.

Once it is activated for the first time, it will automatically collect the face information within the camera's field of view, and then enter the alliance database to obtain the person's various identity information for binding.

After binding, it is basically equivalent to another ID card of that person, and the preferential policies enjoyed by the alliance agencies in various places are also several levels higher.

It is basically equivalent to the preferential services that a master trainer can enjoy in the alliance.

Akimoto smiled and put the illustrated book in his pocket.

When we go back, we will spray Serena's favorite pink paint on it, which will be her exclusive birthday gift.

"Oh, I forgot to inform you about something!" Just when everyone got up and prepared to go to the Quartz Alliance cafeteria for dinner under the leadership of Dr. Oak, Odamaki suddenly called Akimoto.

"What's wrong, Dr. Odamaki?"

"I just went to a meeting, but I didn't expect to meet you when I came back. I just happened to tell you that the meeting was about you."

Odamaki sorted out his thoughts and finished talking to Akimoto as concisely as possible so as not to delay their time to eat.

As for him, he was going to eat with his wife and children.

"Basically, the Alliance has set up a research group for your elemental power topic, specializing in the various major theoretical directions of elemental power."

"Of course, you are also needed to contribute, and you are the leader of this group."

When Akimoto heard Odamaki say that the Alliance had set up a research group, he thought it was quite normal.

After all, after he published the elemental power, he knew that it was impossible for him to study and organize such a large theoretical system alone.

So Akimoto had no objection to letting the Alliance participate.

But what the hell is this team leader?

"I have no objection to the research group, and I will do my best if you need my help, but this team leader thing...can I..."

"Don't worry, it's just a nominal team leader for you to facilitate the distribution of credit after the research is completed. After all, you don't even have a doctorate, so it will be difficult to satisfy you in terms of credit distribution."

Since Akimoto is just a newcomer in the academic world, even though many people have called him a big shot, it still cannot change the fact that he is a newbie.

If a newcomer is asked to share the greatest credit in a group of many doctors, many people will definitely be dissatisfied.

Although those doctors are also the most ordinary doctors, they are still doctors after all.

Even if the theoretical basis of the project comes from Akimoto, this is the way of the world, and no one can avoid it.

Fortunately, the top leaders of the alliance take good care of him. In order to take into account his interests, they specially arranged the position of team leader for him.

In this way, no one dares to say anything about his identity.

Society is actually like this, even in the alliance that people think is fair.

No matter how much effort you have made, you must have a prerequisite of identity to reward your merits.

No one will care about you without an identity.

Dr. Odamaki cannot openly tell the twists and turns in this way, so he can only convey it to Akimoto in an obscure way.

However, Akimoto is not the kind of person who studies himself into a fool, so he can still see through this little bit of human relations.

He thanked Dr. Odamaki repeatedly, and he also had a little more favorable impression on the alliance's top leaders who made this decision.

"That's it, you don't have to worry about someone leaking secrets. All researchers except you are in the research institute arranged by the alliance for 24 hours."

"Thank you, Dr. Odamaki. We won't delay your time and family lunch. We'll go to the cafeteria."

"Well, you're welcome. See you in the afternoon?"

"Goodbye!"

After parting with Dr. Odamaki, Akimoto and his team headed for the cafeteria.

In fact, Akimoto was also worried about the leak of secrets just mentioned.

After all, it's not just one or two people, but also an entire research team.

At that time, Akimoto will definitely need to provide a lot of unpublished things. If it is leaked by someone, it will be over, and even the alliance will not be able to do it through formal channels.

Of course, this behavior can be cracked down on through informal channels.

But now Akimoto doesn't have to worry so much.

After all, the so-called 24-hour stay in the research institute arranged by the alliance is basically equivalent to closed-door all-day supervision.

Thinking about it this way, the PhDs in those research groups are really miserable.

Not all PhDs have a high status in the alliance like Dr. Oki and Dr. Odamaki.

Even if they spend most of their lives polishing a paper certified by the alliance, researchers with mediocre qualifications like them cannot get a very important position.

They just become researchers with higher authority and access to more things.

Only PhDs who have achieved outstanding achievements in a large field are qualified to be valued by the alliance.
