After bidding farewell to Orange City, Xiaozhi and his friends headed for Inyu City and visited Professor Odamaki along the way.
"Hahaha!"
The living room was filled with laughter. Dr. Odamaki said with satisfaction, "Dr. Oak is really enviable. When the fairy research asked me to assist, I was shocked!"
"I hope Xiaoyao can be as successful as me in the future."
Xiao Yao, who was suddenly called upon, puffed up her cheeks and said in a naive and dissatisfied tone, "Doctor!"
"Hahaha, sorry sorry."
Dr. Odamaki realized that he had spoken too quickly and scratched the back of his head.
"But Xiaozhi, if you have a good research project next time, you must call me, I will definitely cooperate with you with all my strength!"
Dr. Odamaki, who had witnessed the success of the Eevee evolution theory and the fairy attribute theory, knew that Satoshi had now become a hot commodity in the eyes of the doctors within the League.
With Xiaozhi's rise, future research projects will probably be sought after by those experienced guys.
Naturally, he had to strive for it in advance. After all, if he couldn't participate in those unknown explorations, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
"Don't worry, Dr. Odamaki."
Xiaozhi smiled and said, "Even if I didn't invite you, Xiaoyao would definitely come to me to communicate when the time comes."
Dr. Odamaki heard something and laughed, "Then I really owe it to Xiaoyao!"
"Ah~" The girl puffed out her chest proudly, but her ears were a little red.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Xiaosheng stood up and walked over, saying, "I'll go open the door!"
Ever since Xiaozhi received the honorary doctorate, he has been more diligent in his daily work.
Mainly, he was afraid that his parents would leave him at home, and he would not be able to continue traveling with Xiaozhi and the others.
"Is the assistant back?" Xiaogang asked.
When he came, Xiaozhi had already introduced the members of the research institute to him in advance.
But Dr. Odamaki shook his head and said with a smile, "After the research is finished, I will let him take a good two days off. This time, it is estimated that..."
Halfway through the conversation, everyone's attention was drawn to Xiaosheng's exclamation at the door.
After a while, an old man with gray hair and a dignified face followed Xiaosheng in.
Xiaozhi looked at the person coming and was slightly surprised.
Dr. Odamaki introduced everyone, "This is Dr. Yamanashi from the Sinnoh region, my senior."
"These are Xiaozhi, Xiaoyao, Xiaosheng and Xiaogang."
As soon as the words fell.
Xiao Sheng was the first to speak excitedly, "I know, I know, Dr. Yamanashi is a pioneer in carrying evolution."
"You are the one who dug up the Electric Monster and the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus!"
Listening to the little boy's detailed description, Dr. Yamanashi couldn't help but smile a kind smile that was not quite gentle.
"I didn't expect you to know so much, little brother."
"It seems that those who follow Xiaozhi are all people who love Pokémon."
Xiaosheng, who received great praise, smiled foolishly, but Xiaozhi was the first to respond.
"Hello, Dr. Yamanashi. I heard a lot about you from Dr. Oak."
"Buey~"
Little Eevee curiously poked its head out of Xiaozhi's arms, tilting its cute little head.
"Oh, the little guy has hatched." Dr. Yamanashi's smile faded a little.
After everyone's confusion, they learned from the old man that this Eevee Pokémon Egg of Xiaozhi was provided by him to the Alliance.
"I see. Thank you so much, Dr. Yamanashi." Xiaozhi expressed his gratitude sincerely.
The little guy was just born, but he was very well-behaved and he loved him very much.
"You're welcome. I have to thank you for your contribution to Pokémon research."
Dr. Yamanashi gave him a deep look and said, "From now on, it may be you young people who will rule the world, Dr. Xiaozhi."
Even though he knew the other party was joking, Xiaozhi still couldn't help but feel panic.
He smiled bitterly and said, "You should just call me Xiaozhi, Dr. Yamanashi."
"Hahaha, I'd better not use your ability to liven up the atmosphere, Dr. Yamanashi."
Dr. Odamaki's laughter made Dr. Yamanashi look serious. He was not angry, but a little embarrassed. "Is that so..."
"Hahaha!"
This is also a very cute old man.
Xiaozhi found out during the conversation.
Originally, Dr. Odamaki had invited Dr. Oak and Dr. Yamanashi to come as guests these days.
Unexpectedly, Professor Oak was delayed because of the interview.
"By the way, Xiaozhi, what are your plans after traveling in the Fengyuan area?" asked Dr. Yamanashi.
Xiaozhi expressed his thoughts, "I should train in the Kanto region for a while, and then go to the Sinnoh region to take a look."
He paused, then added, "As for research matters, they are still secondary to me, but I will communicate with Professor Oak when I have an idea."
For example, new research.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Dr. Yamanashi's eyes.
But he immediately recovered his spirits and said, "Really? It's a good thing to have your own dreams. It's a pity that such a good talent like you is wasted."
Xiaosheng and Xiaoyao, who were standing by, were confused.
The experienced Xiaogang understood what he meant.
It seems that because of Xiaozhi's contribution, the alliance attaches great importance to Xiaozhi.
Dr. Yamanashi's words actually meant to ask Xiaozhi whether he would consider developing in this direction in the future.
"Hahaha, alright, Dr. Yamanashi, Satoshi is going to be a Pokémon Master!"
Dr. Odamaki came to the rescue, using the conversation he had just had with Satoshi.
"I see, if it's Satoshi, then it's possible." Dr. Yamanashi did not hide his admiration for Satoshi and suddenly remembered something.
He took out a crystal with water splashing through the middle from his backpack.
Then he looked at Xiaozhi and said, "As for the gift, this is what's left over from the last research. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you."
"If Eevee wants to evolve into a Water Spirit later, it can be used."
Xiaozhi wanted to refuse, but Dr. Odamaki winked at him and he accepted it with gratitude.
As for Ibrahimovic, he is considering going in the direction of a fairy elf.
However, Xiaogang's Lotus Leaf Boy has evolved into Lotus Leaf Little Boy in the past few days.
It will be useful when you evolve into Lotte Kappa in the future.
"Well, if you need any help in the future, you can contact me. For research or anything like that, I have more manpower than Damu."
It is true that one should be grateful for what one has received and should be grateful for what one has received.
Xiaozhi smiled helplessly. He now suspected that Professor Odamaki and Professor Yamanashi were teaming up to trick him.
However, the subsequent research cannot be done by Professor Oak alone, and cooperation from other regions is still necessary.
So it's harmless.
Xiaozhi thought about it and agreed.
After reminiscing about the past with Dr. Odamaki, they set off on their journey again.
