I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

Standing at the door, Dr. Kongmu, wearing a pair of frameless glasses, looked at Jin and Yin standing outside with a smile and said, "Thanks to you for bringing Ai..."

As he spoke, he looked at Aisha who was standing behind Ajin and Yin, and paused for a moment, as if he didn't know how to address Aisha.

After all, the two had never met before, nor had any online interactions, so Dr. Kongmu was not familiar with Aisha.

"what."

Dr. Kong Mu showed an annoyed expression on his face.

It was not until this moment that he realized that he and Aisha were just strangers who had never crossed paths before.

It might be a bit inappropriate to rashly let Ajin and Yin invite Aisha to come to their place.

"Doctor, just call me by my name."

Seeing Dr. Chuan Kongmu's embarrassment and what he was thinking, Aisha smiled gently and came to his rescue.

"good good good good!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Kongmu was also unambiguous.

"Aixia-kun, thank you for making this special trip."

As he spoke, he moved aside to allow the people outside to enter the research institute.

"No trouble."

Aisha followed Ajin and Yin into the room. While responding to Dr. Kongmu's words, she glanced around and observed the interior of the research institute.

Dr. Soraki's research institute is much smaller than Dr. Oki's.

This is not surprising. After all, in addition to the research institute where Dr. Oak conducts various research on a daily basis, he also has a huge backyard.

Professor Soramu obviously couldn't build a backyard in Wakaba Town like Professor Oak could to raise all kinds of Pokémon, so his research institute was just a relatively large house, and it was located in the town, so its area was greatly limited.

and......

Although Professor Soramu looks young, he also has the common problem of Pokémon professors - to put it nicely, he is careless, and to put it bluntly, he is sloppy.

Although there is nothing wrong with his clothes, the institute is really a mess!

Special devices of various sizes were placed in a disorderly manner on and under the tables, and various documents and papers were scattered around the hall of the institute.

Aixia looked around, but for a moment she couldn't find a place where people could stay.

"Ha ha......"

Noticing Aisha's gaze, Dr. Kongmu also looked embarrassed.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Ai Xiajun. The child's mother has returned to her parents' home with her child these days, and I've sent my assistants out to work. There's no one to take care of the institute."

"It's okay."

Aisha shook her head.

It turns out they are married...

Suddenly I remembered that Dr. Kongmu is actually a successful person who is married and has children.

"You have a successful career, a harmonious relationship with your spouse, children, and a research institute right downstairs from your home... Dr. Kongmu, you are a winner in life too."

Counting Dr. Kongmu's configuration, Aixia looked at him and said quietly.

"what?"

Dr. Kongmu was stunned when he heard this, and then an embarrassed smile appeared on the face of the middle-aged man.

He scratched his head, not embarrassed at all, and said with a very pleased look, "Thank you, thank you, haha..."

"I'm really sorry to have asked Jin and Yin to invite Aixia-kun over."

But in the end, Dr. Kongmu still apologized to Aisha.

"It's really okay, Doctor." Aixia shook her head and said, "I wanted to come visit you myself, so even if you didn't let Jin and Yin find me, I would still come."

"I see......"

Dr. Kongmu nodded thoughtfully, and the tension and embarrassment on his face finally dissipated a lot because of Aisha's words.

"So, Doctor, what do you want to say when you call us here?"

Ajin interrupted at this moment and asked anxiously.

"Yeah, I just heard the doctor say he has something good to show us."

Aisha also showed a curious expression.

Although Professor Soramu has a very low presence among all the Pokémon professors.

But he is still a doctor after all, enjoying a high reputation in the scientific research community and a high status, not inferior to Dr. Odamaki of Hoenn.

Such a person would never shoot without a purpose.

Something that he could call a "good thing"...

Aisha is also really looking forward to it!

"Doctor, please stop keeping me in suspense~"

Ajin walked over directly and said this, almost stepping on the device that Professor Kongmu placed next to him.

"Okay, okay, I'll take it out and show you. Ah Jin, just stand there and don't move!"

Dr. Kongmu was frightened by Ajin's recklessness and his heart started beating fast. He hurried to the direction of the experimental table, picked up something and showed it to the three people.

"What I mean by good stuff...that's it."

"Uh?"

Ajin stretched his head and took a look, and immediately showed a strange expression.

What Dr. Kongmu took out was a stone slab.

"Ok?"

Aixia instinctively felt something was wrong, so she stepped forward and stared at the stone slab that Dr. Kongmu brought out, examining it carefully.

A palm-sized gray stone slab looks like it has a long history, and its surface has gradually weathered and cracked.

But what caught Aisha's attention was not the quality of the stone slab, but the inscriptions on it... I don't know whether they should be called words or patterns.

On the gray stone slabs, strange symbols the size of tadpoles crowded together, forming a very weird pattern.

"Doctor, is this the good stuff you're talking about?"

Ajin obviously didn't realize the peculiarity of this stone slab.

This young man just thought that Dr. Kongmu said there was something good, but after making him look forward to it for a long time, he took out a broken stone. This was very abstract.

"Shut up, idiot."

Yin elbowed Ajin in the kidney, making him shut up.

"Didn't you see Coach Ai's expression? This isn't an ordinary stone."

Although Yin didn't understand, he had been paying attention to Aisha's reaction. As soon as he saw the serious expression on Aisha's face, he realized the problem.

"hiss......"

Ah Jin clutched his waist, his face filled with pain, and said, "You kid...you're definitely going to be banned from playing basketball!"

"What's this about?"

Yin was confused.

"When you become the leader of the Rainbow Rocket Team, remember to let me fly the plane for you, hehe..."

silver:"......"

Ignoring the bickering between the two lovers, Aixia stared at the slate that Dr. Kongmu had taken out, then raised her head and said, "Doctor, where did you get this slate?"

"what."

Seeing Aixia's reaction, Dr. Kongmu was delighted and naturally did not hide anything from him. He said, "This stone slab was actually excavated from the Alufu ruins by an archaeological team a few days ago."

"Arufu Ruins..."

Hearing this name, Aisha's eyes narrowed and his expression suddenly became quite serious.

The Arufu Ruins are a huge ruin located in the central part of the Johto region, southwest of Kikyo City.

The Alliance has been exploring and developing this relic for many years.

Although today, the ruins of Alufu are now open to the public.

But there are still many places in this ruins that have not been explored by people.

Many archaeological teams work here every year, and people often dig up new things from the Alufu ruins.

Now, the stone tablet that Dr. Kongmu took out is one of them.

"Ah."

Dr. Kong Mu nodded.

"After the archaeological team unearthed this slab, they handed it to me." Professor Kongmu spread his hands helplessly, revealing a look of helplessness. "But you know, Aixia-kun, even though I'm a doctor, my research focuses solely on Pokémon breeding and Pokémon eggs. As for archaeology... I know absolutely nothing about it, so it's completely useless to me."

"Originally, I was planning to contact Dr. Yamanashi in the Sinnoh region and give him this stone tablet for research. After all, the Sinnoh region has always been famous for its archaeology and mythology. Dr. Yamanashi is definitely more knowledgeable in this area than I am. He might be able to figure out the secret of this stone tablet."

"Um......"

Hearing this, Aixia nodded and did not think there was anything wrong with Dr. Kongmu's idea.

Although Dr. Yamanashi's research topic is the evolution of Pokémon, he also usually dabbles in some archaeological fields.

Takeran once told him that Dr. Yamanashi was even her predecessor in archaeology.

Giving this slate to Dr. Yamanashi for research is indeed the best option.

"but."

Changing the subject, Dr. Kongmu looked at Aisha, scratched his temples, and said, "However, I heard from Jin and Yin yesterday that you, Aisha-kun, are also in Johto."

"I've also heard from Professor Oak that you, Aisha-kun, have made considerable achievements in the field of archaeology. Plus, you're also a Pokémon researcher. So, before you leave Johto, could you please take a look at this slab and see if you can spot any issues?"

"I see."

Aisha nodded.

"I understand."

Although she said this, Aixia felt a little complicated in her heart.

I swear to God, he really has no interest in archaeology.

The reason why he appears to have a strong interest in ancient myths and legends is simply because he has set his sights on those legendary Pokémon.

I didn't expect that Professor Oak and Professor Sora would think I was an expert in archaeology...

"So..." Dr. Kongmu looked at Aixia with anticipation and said, "Mr. Aixia, have you seen anything?"

"I have some ideas."

Aisha did not disappoint Dr. Kongmu.

He reached out and took the stone tablet from Dr. Kongmu's hand very naturally.

After weighing the slate and stroking its surface with her fingertips, Aisha looked at Dr. Kongmu with a smile and said, "How about we sit down and talk?"

"Good good!"

Dr. Kongmu really values ​​Aisha.

He was flattered that a doctor treated Aisha like a VIP.

Jin spent a few minutes clearing out a clean area in the institute with his two-tailed monster, Teo Taro.

Then Aisha and Dr. Kongmu sat down, put the slate on the table, turned on the chandelier, and focused the light on the slate.

"Um......"

Leaning against the table, Aisha tapped her fingers on the surface.

"Doctor, do you think these words on the stone tablet look like some kind of Pokémon?"

"Pokémon?"

Aisha's words startled Dr. Kongmu like a bolt of thunder.
