"Well, that's it." Dr. Buratano muttered to himself as he looked thoughtfully at the letter in his hand.
Raising his head, he looked at Xia Chen's young face, "So, are you going to start a trip in the Carlos area that will last about half a year?"
Xia Chen replied: "Yes, doctor, I am very interested in the Kalos region, which is the birthplace of the fairy attribute."
The doctor seemed to have thought of something and hesitated for a while before saying, "If that's the case, I have something important to ask you."
Xia Chen guessed: "It's not the same as last year. Is it related to the outbreak of the fairy aura the year before?"
Bratano nodded, "Yes, this is the direction I have been researching recently. Although Xerneas is the God of Life, it is said that the breath of elves, no matter how gentle it is, is extremely aggressive to ordinary elves. sex."
"These energies are like alien species, which react violently with the energy in the elves' original bodies. Some elves are more compatible with this energy, and after being eroded, they gain a new attribute, which is now known as the elf attribute. "
The doctor raised a question: "But... what about the elves whose attributes have not changed?"
Xia Chen was stunned. Based on his knowledge from games and anime in his previous life, Xerneas has the ability to share eternal life.
As for the harm of escaping energy, this question was beyond the scope of his knowledge.
Xia Chen hypothesized: "Maybe there is no harm in it?"
The doctor said with emotion: "There is no harm in being afraid."
…………
Buratano suddenly asked: "Do you know the elf protection organizations that were active in various regions decades ago?"
Xia Chen subconsciously thought of the classic evil organization in the Hezhong region, Team Plasma, which advocated rescuing all elves from humans.
But this was somewhat inconsistent with the active regions mentioned by the doctor, so he replied instead: "I don't understand."
The doctor said: "That organization not only advocates harmonious coexistence between humans and elves, but also proposes harmonious coexistence between elves and elves. Do you think this is ridiculous? The law of the jungle is a normal phenomenon in nature."
"This organization later forcibly conducted an experiment to create an elven ecosystem with no disputes, no killing, and no food chain. The final result was that within a year, the number of elves overflowed, the ecosystem's resources were scarce, and the entire system directly collapse."
Xia Chen finally understood what the doctor meant. He was not worried about the energy emitted by Xerneas destroying the lives of elves.
Rather, they are worried that the pseudo "eternal life" created by too much life energy will make the entire Kalos region become like the experimental ecosystem, facing the risk of collapse.
"Balance exists among all things." He whispered softly.
The doctor's eyes lit up, "Well, that's a very philosophical sentence. It seems you understand what I mean."
Xia Chen shrugged, "But I don't understand what you want me to do."
Buratano patted Xia Chen's shoulder solemnly, "The world has its own way out. Maybe if there is a problem with the ecological balance, nature or some legendary elves will come out to solve it. But at that time, we spent several It took thousands of years to build a society where humans and elves coexist harmoniously, but we don’t know what it will look like.”
"In the final analysis, the existence of human beings on this planet we live on is only measured in units of ten thousand years. In the eyes of those immortal legendary elves, they may be like a few insignificant guests at home."
"The fate of mankind still has to be in our own hands, and what we scholars can do is to predict possible risks in advance, and then notify the alliance so that they can find ways to avoid them. That's all."
…………
Xia Chen suddenly felt that Dr. Bratano's verbal skills were also quite strong. No wonder he became close friends with Team Flare's boss, Thanos Fradari of the Pokémon world.
If I were really a sixteen-year-old boy, I would probably be immersed in the mission of saving Carlos at this moment.
It's a pity that under the skin of the high-spirited and passionate young man, there is a social soul eager to paddle out and fish.
Xia Chen said calmly: "Doctor, you tell me, I will try my best."
Bratano suddenly felt a little frustrated. He was as hot as fire, but the other side was as silent as the ocean.
He touched his head awkwardly and said with a wry smile: "It's not a big deal. I would like to ask you to try to catch some elves in various areas when traveling. I want to study whether there is any difference in the life energy in the elves in different places."
"In return, in addition to the monthly salary from the Bratano Institute, I will also apply to the alliance for reimbursement of your entire travel expenses, as well as some rare elf resources, or things you need."
It turned out to be a simple and convenient thing like catching elves.
Moreover, after accepting this task, this trip not only cost nothing, but also made money. No matter how you think about it, you won’t lose money.
Xia Chen, who was very calculating, simply agreed, "No problem, doctor."
After negotiating the salary, Xia Chen said goodbye to Dr. Buratano.
There is a seven-hour time difference between Carlos and Donghuang. Now he just wants to lie on a soft bed with Ibrahimovic and Lalulas in his arms and have a good sleep to regain his energy and prepare to officially start his trip to Carlos.
After stopping a passing taxi, Xia Chen left the institute.
What he didn't notice was that in a cafe opposite the research institute, a man wearing an orange shirt and orange trousers and a pair of orange sunglasses quietly pressed the communicator in his ear.
"The target person has boarded a taxi with license plate number xxx, please continue to pay attention."
…………
I slept until I woke up naturally, and it was already eight o'clock.
But in Miare, a city that never sleeps, the moment when the neon lights begin to wake up is when the real excitement of life begins.
As the human being with the worst physique, Xia Chen spent the longest time adjusting his work and rest time.
In front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows that offer an unobstructed view of the night view of Miare, Menas in the aquarium is admiring the night view of this unfamiliar area.
On the soft and luxurious carpet, Ibrahimovic and Lalu Lasi practiced physical skills to pass the time while waiting for Xia Chen to get up.
Xia Chen yawned, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and sat on a chair, looking out the window in a daze at the very close prism tower shining with soft lights.
Of course, the price of the hotel next to the famous coordinate building in Miare is not cheap, but Dr. Buratano said that the travel expenses were reimbursed, and the Carlos Alliance's money was not wasted.
Before you officially start traveling, you should enjoy a little more of the sugar-coated bullets of human civilization.
After a few days, I guess I spent most of the time sleeping in the open with the sky and quilt as my bed.
After admiring the night view full of money, Xia Chen stood up.
After taking back Menas in the aquarium, picking up Eevee and Menas on the carpet with one hand, Xia Chen walked out of the room.
"Let's go and eat."
…………
Although the name of the hotel Xia Chen stayed in was very funny, it was called Regent Hotel.
But whether it's facilities, services, or catering, this is the best hotel Xia Chen has ever experienced.
Although he had only lived in a three-digit apartment before.
Xia Chen was enjoying the special delicacies of the Kalos region with his three elves in the hotel restaurant, but Ibrahimovic calmly scratched his thigh with a small flesh pad.
Xia Chen understood immediately and glanced at the surrounding environment with his peripheral vision.
When he spotted the conspicuous orange figure in the corner, he understood everything.
He is being targeted by Team Flare!
Tsk.
Xia Chen smacked his tongue slightly. He was targeted by the local evil organization when he first came to Carlos. What kind of protagonist treatment is this?
As for why he was targeted so quickly, Xia Chen had some idea.
The boss of Team Flare, Fralida, has a close relationship with Dr. Bratano, and in the game, he shows great interest in the trainer entrusted by the doctor, that is, the protagonist.
So now you start monitoring yourself?
Why does this little Thanos look a bit like a yandere?
Xia Chen scratched Ibrahimovic to indicate that he had discovered the monitor, and then thought about countermeasures while eating.
No matter what Frillida's purpose was, Xia Chen didn't like the feeling of being monitored.
I took the elves out of the city, looked at the scenery, and sang a song, and suddenly I was followed by Team Flare!
Thinking about this kind of thing makes you feel bad.
Therefore, a trip without Team Flare is a good trip.
Xia Chen decided to find a way to get rid of these flies before setting off.
But how to catch up seems to be a question worth pondering.
I want to compete with an evil organization that can infiltrate an entire regional alliance. Do I have the strength?
…………
"Buyi!"
Ibrahimovic's alert voice woke up Xia Chen, who was deep in thought. He looked up and saw a tall man with a fiery red lion's head walking towards him.
Xia Chen was shocked, it was Vladali!
Although before setting off, he had imagined that he might encounter this person on this trip, he did not expect that the two would meet on just the first day.
This is a bit unusual. Perhaps it is the task that the doctor entrusted to you.
If I had known better, I wouldn't have come to see Dr. Buratano.
Xia Chen complained silently.
However, when the situation is still calm, Fradali's superficial identity is still a famous scientist and philanthropist who has developed a "holographic image communicator", and he cannot let his superficial skills show off.
"Can I sit here?" Vladali stopped next to the table where Xia Chen was sitting and asked with a smile.
"Of course, Mr. Fradali." Xia Chen did not hide the fact that he knew him.
As expected, the boss of Team Flare showed surprise, "Do you know me?"
Xia Chen shrugged, "The holographic image communicator you released last year became popular all over the world. How could I not know about it?"
To a certain extent, it’s okay to say that he is the Steve Jobs of the Pokémon world.
Hmm. Thanos and Jobs in the Pokémon world are really a wonderful combination.
Fradali laughed and said: "I'm glad that you like the products developed by our research institute so much. Mr. Xia Chen, the second evolutionary path of Menas that you discovered not long ago has also made a great contribution to the world!"
"With young people like you, the world will become better and better."
It’s started! It’s started!
Xia Chen didn't care about his business bragging, but was sensitive to the words "contribution" and "beauty".
Is he trying to win over himself?
…………
The reason why Xia Chen keeps calling him Thanos of the Pokémon world is because this guy's purpose is to create a beautiful world.
Of course, if he were to use normal means to create, he would be a saint rather than a villain.
The way he wants to achieve this goal is to eliminate those "people who only want endless demands, quarrels, greed, and worthlessness" in this world.
It feels a bit like being sympathetic to Thanos.
Xia Chen wasn't surprised that he attracted her. You can't just rely on one person to destroy the world, right?
Even the villain would be moved by a handsome young man with unlimited potential who has cultivated two talents like him.
Hey, wait a minute, Fradali wants to win over him
If he takes advantage of the situation and joins Team Flare, will he not have to endure their tracking and surveillance?
Thinking further, Xia Chen found that being an undercover member of Team Flare had many benefits.
First of all, if you want to get rid of Team Flare's surveillance, you must conflict with them.
With my current strength, I basically can't do it if the other party randomly sends cadres to me.
On the contrary, if Team Flare is undercover, not only will he not be targeted, Team Flare can also become his protective umbrella!
As an evil organization, Team Flare is not like the gangsters like the Skeleton Team in Alola who are notorious for their evil deeds.
It won't hinder your travel plans to Carlos at all.
The most important thing is that as an undercover agent, he has no loyalties at all.
This ensures your absolute safety and there is no tail for others to catch!
Wait until you return to Donghuang in half a year, Team Flare?
Who are you sending it to?
Of course, as a thoughtful and meticulous Gou Sheng, Xia Chen also considered the worst case scenario——
Unfortunately, he was involved in the final weapons battle. As a villain, he was the protagonist who was not punished by justice.
It’s simple, just learn from Ai Lan!
I am just a lost little lamb who was influenced by bad people and went astray. As long as you talk a few words, I will find my way back!
In short, no matter how you look at it, Undercover Flare Team is a strategy that has all the benefits and no harm, with extremely low risks and extremely high returns.
Just add it and you’re done!
Of course, how to add it is also a technical job.
It would be best to convince Fradali that you were attracted by his powerful personal charm.
…………
"Mr. Xia Chen?" Fradali's voice woke up Xia Chen who was in deep thought.
"Ah, I'm sorry." Xia Chen looked embarrassed and shy.
"Because Mr. Fradali, you have always been my idol, and I was a little embarrassed to be praised by you just now."
The boy's tone was natural and there was no trace of acting, but it couldn't be hidden from the eyes of a certain little Eevee.
Deliberately lowering her presence, she nestled in Xia Chen's arms, her big black eyes rolling around, as if she was thinking about how to cooperate with her trainer's mischief.
Over there, Fradali raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Really?"
Xia Chen nodded and said: "Whether it's your philanthropic character or your achievements in inventing the holographic image communicator, they all deserve my respect. I heard that you also use a large part of the profits of the institute for charity, right? "
After listening to Xia Chen recounting his deeds in detail, most of Fradali's suspicions were gone.
"Buyi!"
The voice coming from Xia Chen's arms attracted Fradali's attention again.
He looked down and saw this adorable little guy struggling to get out of Xia Chen's arms, walking to his side on its soft little feet, and rubbing against him affectionately.
The long ears that are as smart as a rabbit move from side to side, making it look really cute.
Vladali is a kind and loving person, but he just chooses to vent his evil on the humans who have let him down.
This child is so affectionate to a stranger, so her trainer must always talk about her, right?
A tough guy can also have tenderness. Vladali was immediately enchanted by the cute Ibrahimovic's actions, but there was still a trace of doubt in his heart.
Such a sincere young man, such a lovely Ibrahimovic.
If you could lie to me, I would eat the ultimate weapon on the spot!
He looked at Xia Chen who was smiling shyly. He said, "Such a good young man, such a great young talent, our team, Team Flare, must not miss it!"
What happened next was a matter of course. Fradali and Xia Chen met late at night and talked long and late at night in the restaurant.
In the end, with Fradali's strong personal charm and impassioned speech, Xia Chen agreed to join the Flare Team as a civilian employee with the goal of "making the world a better place."
Of course, Fradali has not revealed to Xia Chen that their plan is to find the ultimate weapon to eliminate some humans.
As a newcomer, you still have to take things step by step. When he gets deeper and deeper into Team Flare and cannot escape, you can coerce him into joining the plan.
Fradali was feeling complacent in his heart because of the information gap between himself and Xia Chen, but given the brains of the two Metagross, he could not have imagined that Xia Chen and Ibrahimovic had already seen through his underwear.
The most amazing thing is that the sources of information for one person and one elf are through time travel and rebirth respectively.
It’s the last day, friends
Recommend a new book from a great guy, a new work from the guy who wrote "Pokémon Modifier"
"My Father, the Martial Arts Bear Master"
In order to write a travel article, I took a look at Pokémon Modifier for a while. The writing is really good.
The new book probably has the same opening as the movie version of Salud picking up a human baby, which is very interesting.
