Pokémon: Legendary Pokémon Simulator, Starting with Arceus

The Team Rocket headquarters, located on an unnamed island in the Kanto region, has been completed. The research institute behind the mountain is not visible from the outside, except for the high-tech gate, which symbolizes that it is not ordinary.

Xiong Meng also saw two people who were going to work at the door: the old man Fuji and Xia Bo.

"Long time no see, you two! You look even younger lately...?"

He was puzzled by their haggard appearance and dark circles under their eyes.

What have you done? At your age, you don't even pay attention to your appearance. Your mental state is terrible.

"Oh ho ho, isn't this Dr. Satoshi Ishida, the person in charge? Looks like you've finally finished dealing with things outside."

"Guess who inspected the site and checked the equipment while I was away."

He felt embarrassed by their resentful looks. Sure enough, the law of conservation was in effect: in the company, some people did less work while others did more.

"Ahem, I've been busy with my own mission lately and haven't been able to find the time."

"Don't worry, gentlemen. The preliminary research project is ready. Let's go in and have a chat."

Old Man Fuji and Uncle Blaine knew that there must be a mission going out, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to get out. So they put that question aside for now.

Just as they were about to go in, Zhenniao hurriedly came over with his laptop, taking three steps at a time to stand in front of them.

"Phew, Dr. Ishida Satoshi has arrived. Luckily, he hasn't gone in yet; I was just looking for you."

"Secretary Zhenniao, don't be in such a hurry. What can I do for you?"

"That's right, Boss Sakaki sent me to retrieve Nido, since this place doesn't need protection anymore."

The bird's words silenced the two people beside him, especially Blaine, who was thinking even more after seeing the Poké Ball handed to him.

Unlike the old man Fuji, he was also very strong, and he knew how powerful Giovanni's main Pokémon were.

Having taken him out and brought him back safely, Xiong Meng's evaluation of Xia Bo improved considerably.

"There's one more thing. You will be fully responsible for everything related to the research project going forward, including all matters such as rest and funding. You only need to report back once every one to three months; the specific dates will be announced in advance."

"For anything you need to say, just text me or Apollo. There's a phone in the office; it's available 24/7."

"Mr. Fuji and Mr. Chaper, I hope you will continue to work together."

After finishing her sentence, Makoto hurriedly left, as many things awaited her.

Old Man Fuji and Blaine were truly silent this time. They initially thought they had already gained Sakaki's approval, but they had underestimated him.

What did this guy do to make Giovanni entrust the entire project to him?

"Gentlemen, let's go in and discuss the initial research content first, and then talk about the specific general direction."

Xiong Meng smiled and said that the two of them did not say much and took the initiative to lead the way, without exchanging a word the whole way.

He walked through the high-tech corridor to the conference room, plopped down in the head seat, and waved for the two to sit down.

The old man Fuji and Uncle Xia were taken aback for a moment, then smiled and sat down.

"Let me first talk about my initial task. I've learned a lot during this time, and I've also come to realize that researching genes can't be rushed."

"It's a mistake for others to start by researching the deepest parts of the problem. This approach only leads to missing out on a lot of future opportunities in the pursuit of speed, and most of the results obtained this way are also problematic."

"Genes are like a ladder; only by going down layer by layer can we ensure the best results. So we will start with this model."

"I've already thought about the first one. Let's start by researching genetically modified meat and genetically modified vegetables, fruits, and the like."

Fuji the Elder, Uncle Xia: ?

The two were completely dumbfounded. What was going on, bro? They were highly skilled professionals, and they were personally invited by Sakaki.

What the hell are they feeding them? They're probably just making fun of the two of them!

"Dr. Satoshi Ishida, we are studying a miracle, a miracle of the world and the century."

"If you have any opinions about us, you can say them directly. After all, we did not do well at the beginning, but there is no need to disgust us with this kind of thing."

The old man Fuji and Xia Bo looked grim, both believing that the other was retaliating for their previous attitude.

Xiong Meng had anticipated this situation and calmly said, "I think you two have misunderstood."

Their expressions remained unchanged.

Misunderstanding? Let them study meat and tree fruits, haha, they're not stupid!

"You two have indeed misunderstood. First, this isn't something you're researching; rather, it's the general direction going forward, and I'll be researching it as well."

"Secondly, our goal is to create artificial Pokémon, that is, artificial life."

"In my opinion, artificial life needs to meet several standards: the physical body must be normal and perfect, and the life formed from genes also needs to be perfect."

"Genes are too insignificant, so insignificant that they can be easily influenced and interfered with, so insignificant that we need to be fully prepared before we can even begin."

"Imagine if we can't even understand ordinary dead flesh and plant life, how can we possibly study perfect life?"

"Do we deserve it?"

The old man Fuji and Uncle Xia were greatly shocked. So that's how the other party thought, and how carefully he thought it through.

No wonder he's so highly regarded by Giovanni, no wonder he has his main Pokémon protecting him when he goes out.

The two acted as if they were meeting for the first time, and the faint, strange feeling had been completely forgotten.

"Sigh, is this what young people think? We old folks really can't compete."

"Yes, we were overthinking it. I will follow instructions from now on."

Seeing that the two men who had been tricked into sticking out of their legs remained expressionless, Xiong Meng felt both amused and a little regretful.

Well, that's fine then, even though I didn't say anything more that I had prepared.

"Please don't rush to express your feelings yet; let's talk about research funding next."

"Yes, this is something we should definitely discuss."

"That's right, that's right."

The moment money was mentioned, the two instantly sobered up. What they were researching wasn't important; what mattered was how the money was allocated and how much was allocated.

"Our next research findings are quite diverse. I plan to consider each finding as a project and then allocate funding based on its effectiveness and comparisons."

"Minimum one million Alliance Coins, maximum ten million. We'll check once the research is complete, and then we'll pay you."

The two didn't care about the inspection; they'd just throw it over for a quick check, and if it was good, they'd take it seriously, if not, they wouldn't.

Blaine was more worried about this model, as it would be very expensive to study.

"That's not bad, but won't this method cost too much? We won't be able to explain it to Sakaki later."

"It's alright. That's how research funding is used. Besides, you'll be responsible for the costs after the first research project. How much you save is up to you."

"By the way, I want to mention something here: revenue sharing requires my approval."

Xiong Meng smiled as he looked at the two of them. He didn't care how much money they made, as long as they made a profit.

But there are certain behaviors that cannot be done, otherwise he will find an opportunity to hang on the streetlights.

"Then let's each lead our own groups for now, and then summarize and combine our findings when we get to the final aspects of the research."

"Initially, each group will have 30 million Alliance Coins. I look forward to the results from the two seniors. By the way, I don't need any members for the time being."

He can figure it out by himself. Don't underestimate his own strength and the strength of Porygon2!

Besides, it's so much more comfortable to be alone; you should avoid having people around if you don't have to.

After agreeing on their terms, they parted ways. Old Man Fuji and Uncle Xia went to select their men, while Xiong Meng leisurely wandered around.

I looked at the machines, learned about the layout of the research institute, and found my own place: an 80-square-meter one-bedroom apartment with a bathroom, kitchen, and study.

He lives more comfortably here than outside because he has a chef who is in charge of his meals. The chef not only delivers the food on time but also checks whether he has eaten, ensuring that his body gets the energy it needs.

There's one downside: you'll be restricted from eating late-night snacks and other treats, and if you eat too much, you'll be forced to exercise!

Everyone except their personal chef is treated this way. This is to ensure that everyone can work stably on their research. Team Rocket is really too ruthless!

Time passed quickly, and the old man Fuji and Blair had already formed a team, which they called Fuji A for easy identification.

Team A, and Team B.

A week later, the old man from Fuji was the first to submit his successful research. The new ordinary tree fruit had a better yield but a slightly inferior taste.

Looking at the detailed and comparative data, as well as the DNA research, Xiong Meng tearfully told Polygonal 2...

Copy and save.

They also wrote down the advantages and disadvantages of various aspects, and divided them into three groups: Fuji the Elder 2, below 3, research 5, and if there were not enough, they would make up the difference and divide the rest equally.

He was very satisfied with the result and returned the written message along with the one million.

Reassured, the elderly Fuji casually showed the information to the members and distributed the money as well.

Everyone in Group A felt relieved. They were reasonable, had evidence, kept their word, and were capable and trustworthy.

Most importantly, he doesn't cause trouble. This person in charge is quite good.

"Team Leader Fuji, since it went well on the first try, let's begin the next phase of our research."

"Sure, let's upload a few more during this period. If it's still like this, then we can do more in-depth research."

Group A started working in full swing. Even with such ordinary results, each person could get tens of thousands. If a few big ones came along, wouldn't they become rich?

Bob from Group B also quickly submitted a report. It was also tree fruit, but the taste was better and the yield was lower. The division was the same as Group A's, which was probably discussed beforehand.

"At first, everyone chose the simplest and easiest option, and the submission time was right after Group A. Were they testing me? Well, I can't let you down."

Those who agreed had valid reasons, and with the same amount of money, Group B also started working on it.

Following this, various research findings were submitted one after another. Xiong Meng kept checking and copying them, accepting them and, incidentally, paying money with justification.

After several attempts, Fuji and Xia Bo confirmed that Ishida Satoshi was serious and meant what he said.

Now that the biggest worry was gone, both groups started to ramp up their efforts, and various better projects began.

Xiong Meng watched the two groups' hard work with tears in his eyes. It was so awesome! He didn't have to pay for the research.

The research was a resounding success.

I wish this could always stay this way!

"Ring ring~" Two weeks later, at noon, the phone rang in Xiong Meng's office.

"Hello, this is the director's office at the research institute."

Apollo's voice came from inside: "Dr. Ishida, come quickly to the work area where the machines are placed!"

Group A and Group B are at each other's throats!

"What? They've started fighting? Where are Fuji and Blaine?"

"It was the two team leaders who led the charge. The reason is hard to explain right now, so let's hurry up and get there."

Xiong Meng hung up the phone, feeling confused by what Apollo had just said, and hurried to the location mentioned.

Apollo and Cyrano were standing at the entrance of the hall, openly peeking inside and muttering something to themselves.

"Oh, hitting the bottom, tsk, what a pity."

"Yes, that's it! This group hit so fast, give them a powerful kick!"

"Oh, what a pity, we didn't hit it."

Apollo and Sirius were watching intently, their hands unconsciously waving. Xiong Meng, standing to the side, didn't even notice the head of the Four Heavenly Kings, who was watching so intently. He raised his hand to his mouth and coughed.

Um! !

The two turned around and saw Xiong Meng. They were surprised at when he had arrived, and tried their best to adjust their expressions.

"Dr. Satoshi Ishida, you're always here. We've only been inside for about ten minutes, let's go in quickly."

"Do Apollo executives and Dr. Silvera know what's going on? Why didn't you go in and stop it?"

He'll ask if he can find out the reason, so it'll be easier to talk to later.

"I don't know either. I only came after someone called me. As for stopping them..."

Apollo pointed to the two eyes, both clearly bruised: "Fuji on the left, Chapman on the right."

Sirana also had two black eyes. The meaning between the two was clear: it wasn't that they didn't want to stop it, but that they hadn't succeeded.

Apollo said with a pained expression, "I came right away after the monitoring room called. When I got here, the two groups were still arguing. I knew this wouldn't do, so I found the two oldest people here."

"But the two of them completely ignored me. I called Dr. Siranain to come over, but it was no use trying to dissuade them."

"After arguing for five minutes, we finally couldn't hold back anymore and started fighting. We thought we'd try to block the middle, maybe that would stop it."

"I didn't expect it to be completely useless. They punched me directly, and then they called me. That's it."

The two of them took turns stating the results, especially Xilanu, who looked very aggrieved. He was stunned for a while before he came to his senses.

How could the Rockets' top poker player get beaten up, especially with the top four players from the team being attacked as well? It's incredibly humiliating.

Want to get angry but have to face the key project manager in front of you...? ::. Choose to go to the door, call the main person in charge, and watch the show while you're at it.

"Ah, well, I'll go in and take a look." What else could Xiong Meng say? He went in first to stop them.

As for the apology later, we'll talk about that later.

Once inside, a dozen or so people were huddled together, showing they knew better than to stay near the machine and chose the open space in the middle.

"What are you all doing! Stop it now!" Xiong Meng shouted as he entered.

He doesn't usually go out much, but he wanders around aimlessly, so he knows almost everyone. Plus, he's the main person in charge and he's generous with money.

Most people stopped when they heard the sound and stood apart on both sides.

Hmm... Besides the majority, there are also a small number.

Xiong Meng watched as the old man Fuji and Xia Bo were falling over and walked over to squeeze in the middle and forcibly separate them.

"Gentlemen, let's talk this out calmly. Don't hurt yourselves. Let's talk this out properly."

"Ishida Satoshi is here; let him be the judge!"

"Fine! You think I'm afraid of you? Let him be the judge!"

After making those harsh remarks, they started explaining the situation, one sentence at a time, which gave Apollo and Sirach a headache. They were wondering what the two of them were talking about.

I can't understand a single word. I bet Dr. Satoshi Ishida is in the same boat...

Xiong Meng clapped his hands: "I think I understand now. It means Group A needs to use the machine, but Group B is using it."

So Group A borrowed it, and Group B agreed.

"But Group B also needs to use the machine, so they sometimes share it. Today, both groups were in a hurry, and during a chat, Group A suddenly discovered that some of Group B's results were the same as Group A's."

"Group A went to ask, and Group B said it was impossible for them to be the same, adding that maybe one person was looking at the other, and then they started arguing."

"Then Mr. Fuji and Mr. Chapman arrived, but neither could convince the other. They got more and more agitated as they talked, and that's how it ended, right?"

Am I right?
