The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

Chapter 167 Dr. Oki's New Research Findings

After leaving the Cerulean City Gym, Lorelei and Jiang Yan continued to stroll around Cerulean City.

The sea breeze, carrying a faint salty and damp scent, blew slowly in from the coastline on the edge of the city.

Jiang Yan and Kona chatted casually, from Ice-type Pokémon training techniques to ecological changes in the Kanto region, in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Lorelei would occasionally stop and look at the shops selling Pokémon plush toys on the street.

Just as the two reached a plaza, they suddenly saw Officer Jenny leading some police officers hurriedly heading towards the Cerulean Gym.

But before Miss Officer Jenny could arrive with her people, three figures that Jiang Yan found somewhat familiar streaked across the sky.

Clearly, the Rockets' trio was blasted away again.

However, apart from the trouble caused by the Rockets trio, the overall atmosphere in Cerulean City is still very good.

As the sun gradually sank below the horizon, night began to envelop the city.

At this moment, Jiang Yan and Kona received a message from Professor Oak.

According to Dr. Oki, he has made some progress in his research on gem meat and pufferfish whales, so he needs to communicate with them.

Upon receiving this news, Jiang Yan and Kona naturally lost their leisure time and immediately rushed back to the research institute.

Riding a flying Pokémon, the two quickly returned to Oak's lab, located on the edge of Pallet Town.

Inside the brightly lit research institute, Professor Oak paced back and forth in the lobby, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Upon seeing Jiang Yan and Kona enter, Professor Oak immediately rushed to greet them.

"Jiang Yan, Kona, you're finally back!"

Seeing Professor Oak's excitement, Jiang Yan was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much of it and asked directly.

"Professor Oak, thank you for your hard work these past few days. I wonder what kind of results you've achieved with the Gem Meat and the Pufferfish Whale?"

Lorelei then looked at Professor Oak, awaiting his answer.

After witnessing the effects of BB corn, Kona also developed a great interest in gem meat and pufferfish whale meat.

Professor Oak took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and slowly began to speak.

"The effects of these two ingredients are far more amazing than I expected!"

"Some of the effects are similar, all of which can comprehensively enhance a Pokémon's constitution, whether it's strength, speed, or defense, they can all be steadily improved."

"But the difference between the two is more crucial. The pufferfish whale has an extremely strong recovery effect. It can not only quickly restore stamina, but also slowly repair and heal the hidden injuries accumulated in the Pokémon's body."

"This is very important for many Pokémon!"

At this point, Professor Oak's expression became somewhat complicated, as he had encountered many Pokémon whose strength could not be improved due to injuries sustained in their early years.

Once the hidden injuries are healed, the strength will undergo a tremendous change.

Bringing his thoughts back, Professor Oak continued.

"In addition, the venom sacs inside the pufferfish whale are also excellent poison-type materials. They can not only be used to enhance the toxicity of poison-type Pokémon, making poison-type moves more powerful, but also be used to refine Poison Orbs."

"The Poison Orb made with it is far more effective than any similar item currently available on the market, providing a significant boost to Poison-type Pokémon!"

Upon hearing this, Kona's face showed a thoughtful expression.

"In that case, it seems that King Kikuko and King Shiba will soon be coming to visit us in person."

Although Agatha is the Ghost Elite Four member of the Kanto region, the vast majority of the Pokémon under her command are of the Poison type.

For Kikuko, the venom sac of the pufferfish whale is undoubtedly a treasure that can greatly enhance her combat power.

Shiba is a fighting king, and the jewel meat and the pufferfish whale's ability to enhance his physique are exactly what he needs most.

Once these two learn the news, they will definitely rush to Oak's lab immediately.

Professor Oak, upon hearing this, awkwardly touched his nose and said helplessly.

"Shiba might come, but Kikuko—I'm afraid not."

Because of some things that happened in his early years, Kikuko still harbors resentment towards him and is unlikely to take the initiative to visit him.

However, this little incident did not affect Professor Oak's mood. He quickly suppressed his distracting thoughts and said with some excitement.

"Compared to Whalefury, the effect of Sapphire Meat is truly revolutionary—it seems to be able to boost a Pokémon's base stats."

After those words were spoken, the hall fell into complete silence.

Kona's eyes widened suddenly, her face showing undisguised shock.

A Pokémon's base stats are innate and cannot be changed by any known means other than evolution. This is an ironclad rule recognized throughout the Pokémon world!

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are called pseudo-legendary because their evolved forms have a base stat total of 600.

If Ruby Meat can really increase a Pokémon's base stats, wouldn't that mean that even ordinary Pokémon could gain base stats comparable to pseudo-legendary Pokémons through Ruby Meat?

Once this discovery is made public, it will be enough to shake the entire Pokémon world!

Does it really have this effect?

Lorelei looked at Professor Oak in disbelief, her voice trembling slightly.

Professor Oak nodded emphatically and added.

"These are just preliminary conclusions from the experiment. The data is not yet complete. The specific improvement and the conditions for improvement need to be determined through more in-depth and detailed research."

At this point, Professor Oak looked intently at Jiang Yan, his expression filled with anticipation.

"Jiang Yan, I still have some pufferfish whales on hand, but all the gem meat has been used up."

"That's why I was so eager to contact you to come back. To verify this, we need more gemstone material as research material."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan's face showed a knowing expression.

No wonder Professor Oak was waiting for them in the lobby and was so excited when he saw him.

I was a little confused at first, but now it seems that it's just because I'm out of materials, so I want to trade with him for some more.

However, the amount of gemstone material in stock is extremely limited; once one piece is used, there is one less left.

Professor Oak's research was like a bottomless pit, and no one knew how much more gem flesh would be needed, which made Jiang Yan hesitate.

At the same time, Jiang Yan was extremely curious about the effect of Gem Meat on increasing racial stats.

If Gemstone Meat is truly effective, it will be of immeasurable help to his Pokémon training.

After careful consideration and with Professor Oak making numerous promises, Jiang Yan finally gritted his teeth and took out one kilogram of gem meat.

"Doctor, please take these for your research, but this is already most of my stock."

Of course, Jiang Yan didn't have a lot of gem meat, but he didn't have too little either. The reason he said that was entirely because he hoped Professor Oak could save some.

Professor Oak was overjoyed and carefully accepted the gem meat.

Just then, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered something, raised his hand and took out another piece of bright red meat, handing it to Professor Oak.

"By the way, Professor Oak, this is wyvern meat from the dungeon world. Let's study it too."

"I feel that this thing should be quite effective against Dragon-type Pokémon."

The green dragon has been taken away by Arceus, and the fire dragon has merged into the egg of the little fire dragon. Now, Jiang Yan only has the two-legged wyvern left.

Although the wyvern is far less powerful than the green dragon and the fire dragon, it is still a dragon.

There is a relatively large amount of wyvern meat in stock, so giving a piece to the doctor for research is not a loss for Jiang Yan.

"Wyvern meat?!"

Professor Oak quickly took the wyvern meat.

Jiang Yan did mention dragons when he was describing that labyrinthine world.

I never expected Jiang Yan to have dragon meat in his possession.

Moreover, it's an ingredient from a different world than Gem Meat, so it will definitely be of great use in his research.

Satisfied, Professor Oak hugged the Gem Meat and the Wyvern Meat, then turned and rushed off to the laboratory.

As the laboratory door slammed shut, the faint sounds of experimental equipment colliding could soon be heard.

Jiang Yan glanced at the laboratory door and smiled helplessly.

He had just turned around when he met Kona's gaze, who was looking at him with a strange expression.

Jiang Yan touched his cheek and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong, Kona? Is there something on my face?"

Kona shook her head, then spoke.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking that if A-Du gets this news, he'll probably drop everything and rush here without stopping."

"The Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto are likely to gather here because of you."

Jiang Yan was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening and couldn't help but smile.

That's quite possible.

Speaking of which, as the Dragon King, A-Du naturally has a great need for items that can enhance the Dragon attribute.

In Jiang Yan's opinion, most of the Pokémon in Adu's possession are Flying-type, while Dragon-type Pokémon are relatively few. Calling him the Flying Elite Four would be more accurate.

Of course, this kind of thing is actually not important.

The key point is that Adu is from the Dragon Taming Clan, so he should have a lot of good stuff.
