At this time, Dr. Kongmu set his sights on Xia You again.
"Did you say your name is Xia You?" He pushed up his glasses and said in a slightly excited tone, "I know your name!"
Know my name?
Xia You was not surprised by this.
With the popularity of the World Pokémon Competition, news about him has been broadcast more than once on TV, short videos, and major websites. Even in schools, workplaces, or shopping malls, people are talking about it. Word of mouth spread about his undefeated record.
And since Kanto and Johto are both on the same continent, with frequent exchanges, and the popularity of the Quartz Conference has not completely faded away, Xia You's name is not a household name here, but at least most people should have heard of it.
But just when he thought that Dr. Kongmu had also watched his game, Dr. Kongmu smiled and said: "Are you the young man who published a paper with Dr. Ohmu and Dr. Uchimu some time ago? I have seen it. That paper, especially your theory on the butterfly effect, was really good!”
So that’s how I learned my name...
Sure enough, these Pokémon doctors are obviously more concerned with academic matters than competitions!
Knowing how good he was, Xia You smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm really ashamed. In fact, I have no experience in scientific research and no relevant academic qualifications. At that time, I just benefited from the favor of two doctors, but I just said it casually. But I didn’t expect it to be included in their paper.”
"You are too humble." Dr. Kongmu laughed. "If you are just an ordinary person, you won't be valued by two heavyweight doctors at the same time. Anyway, that point of view is really eye-catching!"
Because he helped him regain the Poké Ball, Dr. Kongmu was very friendly to them and warmly invited them to the reception room for tea.
Through chatting, Xia You also learned that Dr. Kongmu once studied at Yuhong University and was an outstanding student of Dr. Omu. He also regarded Dr. Omu as a great teacher and the most respectable rival!
Putting down the tea cup, Dr. Kongmu smiled and said, "By the way, I also heard that you are Sakuragi's assistant?"
"I'm not an assistant." Xia You smiled bitterly again, "I'm just an investigator from the institute, just helping out with errands. What? Does the doctor also know Dr. Sakuragi?"
"Of course!" Dr. Kong Mu spoke with a nostalgic look on his face, "Actually, our circle is both big and small. Although we work in different regions, we and I Dr. Sakuragi and Dr. Uchigi have had many academic exchanges!"
Xia You nodded clearly.
Speaking of which, the names of these four doctors, Omu, Sakuragi, Neimu and Kongmu, although they are in different areas, are unexpectedly related to the word "wood"!
He took a sip of tea, and because he didn't know much about tea, he could only tell that it was a type of green tea.
At this time, the handsome guy on the side suddenly asked: "So Dr. Kongmu, what kind of research are you engaged in?"
When he mentioned his major, Dr. Kongmu became obviously interested. He sat upright and said with bright eyes, "It's about Pokémon eggs!"
"Pokémon eggs?"
What is there to study about this?
Without waiting for Xia You and the others to be surprised, Dr. Kongmu continued: "Yes, according to my observation, all Pokémon are hatched from eggs! And the shells of those Pokémon eggs usually have unique patterns. , people can guess the type of Pokémon inside based on these patterns.”
"They're all born from eggs!?" Xia You was shocked. This was the first time he heard it, and it really gave him new knowledge!
"Unexpected?" Dr. Kongmu had obviously expected that they would be so surprised. "Although some Pokémon appear to be mammals, they are actually all egg-laying! And the amazing thing is that the Pokémon in the egg, Before it hatches, you can already see the outside world!"
When talking about eggs, Dr. Kongmu looked very energetic. It seems that these doctors will talk endlessly as long as they talk about their own fields!
"That's right!" At this point, Dr. Kongmu's eyes lit up and he said to Xia You, "Since you helped me get the Pokémon back, do you want to choose a starter Pokémon from the Johto region from me? Unlike Kanto, the starting Pokémon in the Johto area are the grass-type Chrysanthemum, the water-type Crocodile, and the fire-type Fireball, and all of them are excellent!"
Xia You didn't hesitate and refused politely.
"Forget it, this kind of opportunity should be left to the new trainers. I already have the three imperial families in Kanto. There are some overlaps in their positions. If there are too many, I will definitely not be able to take care of them."
"Yu Sanjia, an interesting name."
Dr. Kongmu didn't care about Xia You's rejection.
The fact that he could refuse Pokémon that he got for free also made him realize that Xia You was fundamentally different from those trainers who only knew how to conquer Pokémon.
The few people sat in the research institute for a while, and saw that assistants always came to Dr. Kongmu to report on their work. Knowing that he was too busy, they did not disturb him too much and took the initiative to leave.
Dr. Kongmu insisted on sending them to the gate, and then turned back to the research institute.
Looking at his back, the handsome guy said to Xia You: "Dr. Kongmu has a very good impression of you, and I can see that your refusal to receive the initial Pokémon just made him have a good impression of you. Big increase!”
"Really..." Xia You touched her nose, "Why didn't I feel it?"
Patting Xia You on the shoulder, the handsome guy whispered in his ear: "Actually, it will definitely be of great benefit for you to be friendly with him. I heard our internal staff said that Dr. Kongmu seems to have a master ball in his hand. , I think this should be very precious to you trainers, right?"
Dr. Kongmu also has a master ball?
Xia You's eyes widened in disbelief. She didn't expect that the gentle Pokémon Doctor actually had the Master Ball that trainers dream of!
However, although he also wanted it very much, he was not familiar with Dr. Kongmu after all, so he didn't have much hope for it.
Xia You sighed, and Xia You shook his head: "The Master Ball, which can capture Pokémon 100%, is not only attractive to us trainers, but it is also a huge temptation to anyone. Who else would it be? They will all be very greedy!”
The two chatted for a while, and then the handsome boy looked at the time and said goodbye to Xia You.
"Okay, it's time for me to leave. Let Xiao Yin escape this time. I can only say that he was very lucky and met Suicune by chance. But next time, Team Rocket will not be so lucky! We plan to escape in ten days. , launch an attack on the Rockets base in Kaji Town, and I hope you two can participate when the time comes!"
