Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 461 That's not my research result

Because of concerns that Cynthia might be influenced by Yoko.

He did not let the golden retriever sleep with the aunt that night.

Although the little girl Laura seemed to like him and wanted to sleep on his stomach, he still refused her out of consideration for Cynthia's mental well-being.

Talk about it.

He suspected that Laura was influenced by her mother.

It might become a Furui control in the future.

Who knows, she might find a Fire-type Pokémon to marry in the future.

The next day.

Under the guidance of Professor Yoko, a Pokémon expert.

They arrived at a research institute located in the fields outside Miare.

This is the real research institute in Bratano.

As for the one in Miare City...

That's just a place to give Pokémon to new trainers.

"Brataño~"

Yangzi walked into the research institute with ease, heading straight to the innermost laboratory.

"Hmm? Yangzi-jie, you're here again."

A researcher who was fiddling with stones in front of the lab bench turned around.

in the game.

This doctor was described as a tall, middle-aged man with a distinctive stubble on his chin. He was about thirty years old, the same age as Dr. Yew from the Unova region, and considered quite young among the doctor representatives from various regions.

But now.

This doctor was naturally much younger.

He looked to be only in his early twenties, with a blank expression on his face.

But Wu Ge would not underestimate this person because of his age.

On the contrary, they will value him more because of this.

After all, you need some strength and a bit of madness to back it up.

Wu Ge doesn't believe that anyone can become a new PhD at an age when they should be 'fresh out of school'.

A new PhD in a region.

That's not some unknown PhD student like Yangzi.

Just look at the new doctors appearing in the anime in other regions.

Oki Yukinari from the Kanto region.

Odamaki from the Hoenn region.

Yamanashi from the Sinnoh region.

Oki, the protagonist of the Alola region.

They are all characters who are in their forties or fifties or older.

Slightly younger ones, like Kuki from the Johto region, Yew from the Unova region, and Kukui from the Alola region, all became new professors in their thirties, either after getting married or having children.

Like Bratano...
This is the first case in history.

No wonder he's known as the "Dr. Heartthrob".

It's normal for someone who is handsome and accomplished at a young age to be respected and liked by others.

Just don't know.

How does it compare to Bratalia?

Wu Ge pursed her lips as she thought of that friend from the past.

Bratalia is a woman whose very being is filled with madness.

They can stay in the lab for two or three months without going out.

They spend all day doing some rather dangerous genetic research.

They would even follow them deep into the World Tree to encounter those ancient Pokémon, and even fainted more than ten times without giving up.

I wonder what her descendants are like.

"Hey, why are you making that disgusted face? You want to get punched, don't you?"

With a stiff smile on her face, Yoko walked over, reached out and grabbed Blatano by the neck, whispering something under her breath.
"I have two juniors watching over me here, so give me some face, you know?"

"."

Bratano was speechless, and waved his hand to indicate that he had given in.

He had had enough of this senior from the same school.

After arriving in the Carlos region.

I would go to his research institute every few days.

They used his research resources and tools for their own research and even asked him for help.

hateful.

His research topic isn't hatching eggs!

Who wants to study such boring stuff!

Bratano clenched his fists and muttered to himself, but his fighting skills were insufficient, so he could only submit to his senior sister's oppression.

“Lucario, Cynthia, this is Blatano, the professor you're looking for, my junior at Rainbow University.”

"Hello, my research topic is 'the evolution limit of Pokémon'. Hmm... I know you guys, that group that's been quite famous in recent years."

Blatano nodded to Wu Ge and the others, then scratched his head.

"Yes, I remember you guys seemed to use some unexpected moves quite often."

Wu Ge and Cynthia exchanged a glance.

Not surprising.

I won't go into detail about Ice Z [Crazy Earth, Ten Thousand Miles of Ice].

Wu Ge and Cynthia were not the first to use it, but they were the first combination to bring Z-Moves to the world stage.

When people talk about Z-Moves now, they all think of Wu Ge and Cynthia.

Besides.

'The afterimage that can't be hit,' 'the incomprehensible water cannon,' and 'the flame that blooms with rainbow light' are all Wu Ge's trademarks.

"Dr. Blatano, I apologize for disturbing you."

Cynthia stepped forward and bowed.

"It's alright, I've gotten used to being bothered by this woman so many times anyway."

"You guy."

Yoko's fist hardened again.

"You've come to me because of Xerneas?"

Blatano deliberately ignored her. "Yes, how did you know?"

“The people who have been coming to me lately are mostly because of Him, but I’m sorry, the rumors you’ve heard are false.”

Bratano shook his head and reached for a stone on the table behind him.

Wu Ge glanced at him.

The pupils shrank.

Mega stone.

However, he couldn't tell which Pokémon it was.

"what is this?"

Cynthia glanced at it curiously.

I just thought the stone was very beautiful, with dazzling seven-colored light shimmering inside.

“A stone containing amazing energy, which I suspect is related to Xerneas, and perhaps the rumors you’ve heard are also related to this thing.”

Bratano looked at the stone in his hand, his eyes shining with an amazing light.

His listless demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by a thirst for knowledge that surpassed even that of Cynthia.

"By the way, your research topic is on Pokémon evolution, right? Is it related to this?"

Yangzi glanced at it, but showed no interest.

Something unrelated to hatching eggs.

She wasn't very enthusiastic.

Talk about it.

The world of egg incubation is far more complex than anyone imagines.

There are still many things she doesn't understand, so she doesn't have time to study stones.

Talk about it.

She was able to meet Bratano.

This is because her past research topics were also related to Pokémon evolution.

Nothing more.

Yoko's research focuses on maintaining the current stage of a Pokémon and its self-control in evolution.

This is the opposite of what Bratano's research has done.

"That's why we need to investigate, because we don't know if it's related to anything."

"Have you communicated with Dr. Yamanashi yet?"

"Even Senior Yamanashi had no clue. This kind of stone is extremely rare in other regions."

Bratano shook his head, then turned and walked to a screen, turning it on.

on the screen.

It is a full-view photo of a totem.

The totem has some colorful paintings on it.

Wu Ge turned his head and raised an eyebrow.

The painting on this totem depicts Xerneas, specifically Xerneas in his active state.

In his relaxed mode, Xerneas appears completely somber, his entire body a bluish-black color.

In its active mode, its antlers emit a dazzling seven-colored light.

“I found this in a tribe that worships Xerneas, and this stone was also collected from there.”

"Is this stone related to Xerneas?"

Cynthia's eyes lit up, and her interest in Mega Stones increased dramatically.

“I think so, not only because of the color, but also because of the legend. In the legend of that tribe, this stone was a mineral that was born in their territory after the great battle between Xerneas and Yveltal.”

Bratano gripped the stone in his hand tightly, and then said,

"Based on the discoveries left by my grandmother, Pokémon should still be able to evolve. It's just that something is missing. I think it might be related to Xerneas, so I'm researching whether I can find its existence through this kind of stone."

"It's related to genes."

Everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came, and their gazes settled on the Lucario.

"Lucario?"

Cynthia looked puzzled.

What earth-shattering secret is my dog ​​about to reveal this time?

to be frank.

Cynthia is already getting used to it.

There must be some secret hidden in my Lucario that ordinary people cannot understand.

But he didn't say.

Cynthia didn't ask any further questions.

Anyway, Lucario wouldn't harm her, and he might not say anything just because things would get more complicated.

"Gene?"

Bratano frowned.

"The genes of Pokémon living in ancient times are different from those of modern Pokémon. Compared to the past, the genes of modern Pokémon have degenerated countless times and have lost the ability to continue to evolve."

"To allow Pokémon to continue evolving, we need to return them to their most primitive state. The goal is not to increase their level, but to try to replenish or activate the ancient genes that have disappeared or are dormant within them."

"Xerneas's power should theoretically be able to temporarily activate the ancient genes within a Pokémon, allowing it to temporarily evolve. We call that state Mega Evolution."

Wu Ge's last words were not too definitive.

After all, he wasn't a professional researcher in this field; he only knew the general idea.

Furthermore, considering the personal safety of Bratano and the security of the entire Carlos region.

He only mentioned Xerneas, who was gentle and difficult to find, but not the ultimate weapon or Yveltal.

otherwise.

To put it more precisely: the energy crystal produced by perfectly fusing the powers of Xerneas and Yveltal using the ultimate weapon can temporarily activate the ancient genes within a Pokémon, allowing them to undergo 'Ancient Regression,' which is also known as Mega Evolution.

As for completely completing the ancient genes of a modern Pokémon.

forget it.

Without encountering Mew or Mewtwo, it's impossible.

Even if they've been in contact, it's not certain.

After all, even gods like Kyogre and Groudon couldn't do that.

Can human power overcome nature itself?

"Genes? That's a great idea! Are you also studying evolution? Are those your research findings?"

“That’s not my research result, it’s Bratali’s research result.”
