The three of them were heading towards the Sakuragi Research Institute. The distance was not close and they still had to walk for dozens of minutes.
Being idle and bored, Xiaozhi couldn't help itching and took out the illustrated book again.
"By the way, I am already at level 2H. How can I upgrade to level 10H?"
Xiaozhi thought for a while and shouted loudly, "I can beat ten Rockets!"
It's obviously much higher quality than "I can play two Rockets".
"Didi. 10H trainer requirements: Conquer 12 Pokémon and obtain 8 badges."
Illustrated replied promptly.
"Eight pieces..."
Xiaozhi frowned, now he only has 3 badges, and the journey is very long.
But he has already conquered 7 Pokémon, and it seems that he should be able to achieve it faster this time.
Maybe if you go to Sakuragi Research Institute, you can get an extra new Pokémon?
As we all know, the Research Institute is a place where Pokémon can be purchased for free.
Bored on the road, the three of them curiously adjusted the picture book interface to unlock achievements, which still showed that 3 achievements had been unlocked.
[Road to the Movie King], [Food Chain], and [Longevity Bond].
The top one is [Pokémon King]. According to its meaning, it is estimated that after unlocking all the achievements below, he can become the so-called "Pokémon King".
Damn it, he obviously wants to become a Pokémon Master!
However, it may be because Xiaozhi's level has been upgraded to the 2H level. This time, there are several new achievement prompts below.
"[Renaissance] Achievement: Obtain a fossil Pokémon."
"[Egg-laying Rooster] Achievement: Obtain a Pokémon egg and hatch it successfully."
"[The Great Onmyoji] Achievements: Conquered a monster (specified gender: female), subdued a Gardevoir (specified gender: male), subdued..."
There were a few Pokémon behind that Ash had never heard of before, and they looked like riddles.
"It's all very troublesome..."
Xiaogang's eyes were deeply wrinkled.
Xiaoxia also came up and took a closer look. Although the illustrated book gave several achievement information, there were almost none that could be completed in a short time.
"It seems like this is the only last one."
She dragged the screen to the end, and Xiaozhi quickly took a closer look.
"[Once a teacher, always a father (Level 1)]: Teach a newcomer how to catch Pokémon correctly."
"Teach a newbie how to catch Pokémon?"
Xiaozhi thought for a moment and frowned. He was a newcomer who didn't know anything a few weeks ago.
But he is now a man who owns 7 Pokémon. Although excluding non-combat captures, it seems that only Toolbird and Bulbasaur are left...
It's not a big problem, he knows how to conquer it.
"I've decided, I'll go to Sakuragi Research Institute and see if there's anything newbies can teach me. I want to become a teacher for one day!"
Xiaozhi waved his finger and led Xiaogang and Xiaoxia in that direction...
...
...
Sakuragi Research Institute is located in a fringe area of Kuye City, where housing prices are neither high nor low.
In front of this place is a unique small villa, which serves as the main building of the institute and is used for daily office operations and communication with outsiders.
Behind the villa is a large man-made green park, which is used for the Pokémon in the research institute to rest and live.
Although the area is large, it is far from comparable to the backyard of Damu Research Institute in Zhenxin Town.
After all, the latter is located in the countryside, and the housing prices are not high, but the area is still very vast, and it will not feel crowded even if it contains hundreds of Pokémon.
The door was not closed, so the three of them walked in without thinking and came to a room similar to a public living room.
They had already said hello in advance.
At this moment, three people are sitting in this hall, all wearing academic white coats and looking like scholars.
The leader is a middle-aged uncle with brown hair and a Chinese character face, but he looks very kind and friendly.
It was the person they were handing over this time, the director of the Sakuragi Research Institute.
Dr. Sakuragi.
It is said that he was half a student of Dr. Ohmu in his early years, and his academic research was highly recognized by Dr. Ohmu.
In autumn, Dr. Oki and Masahiro were in the backyard, setting up a shelf to eat plump crabs from the Kanto region.
In the summer, Dr. Oki spends most of his time with Dr. Sakuragi, eating meaty lobster from the Hoenki region in the backyard.
After all, they are all caught with red shells.
We are also old friends.
"Finally, you are here! Let me introduce you. These are my two assistants, Pokémon graduate students, Jurai, and Renji. And I am Dr. Sakuragi. I can be regarded as Teacher Ohgi's fan and half disciple."
Dr. Sakuragi smiled and extended his palm.
Xiaozhi didn't dare to neglect, and quickly extended his palm to shake hands.
"My name is Xiaozhi, and I am currently practicing with my Pikachu to become a Pokémon Master."
"I'm Xiaogang, the trainer of Nibi Gym."
"I am Xiaoxia, the trainer of Hualan Gym."
Everyone said hello, and Jurai, a gentle woman with long blue hair next to them, and Renji, a male science major with glasses and messy yellow hair, also came up to them out of curiosity.
According to Dr. Ohki, the person who came this time was the best trainer in their village.
But no matter how you look at it now... he looks like a novice trainer?
You must know that Dr. Oki is a great person, and he will not be aimless.
"Haha, Teacher Omu has been praising you to me. I wonder how long Xiaozhi has been a trainer?"
Sakuragi asked tentatively.
"Three weeks..."
Xiaozhi answered subconsciously, but quickly added:
"It's the third anniversary. Today is exactly the third anniversary, haha."
He suddenly realized that he now represented the face of Zhenxin Town. Xiaozhi quickly opened his eyes and said dirty words to improve his work experience.
Three weeks is almost equal to one month, one month is equal to half a year, half a year is almost equal to one year, there is not much difference between one year and three years...
So 3 weeks = 3 years, which makes sense logically.
After all, ability is the most important thing!
Dr. Sakuragi did not doubt that he was there. After all, Dr. Ohki would not lie to him. Then he smiled slowly and said:
"It's been three years, you look very young..."
Is it true that everyone in New Town became trainers three years in advance?
Or will this boy grow up?
I really want to see if he will still look this young in 20 years...
...
After a while of pleasantries, everyone finally got to the main topic.
"I mentioned it on the phone before. There seems to be a certain wild Pokémon that cannot be seen through living in our research institute. It likes to cause trouble every day. It's okay. It's not a serious problem."
Dr. Sakuragi scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly:
"Maybe it's just lonely and wants to attract people's attention. I quite like this feeling."
"It's just that recently our Sakuragi Research Institute will be officially opened to the outside world... This is a port city with noisy crowds. It doesn't matter to us. After all, we are used to it, but those guests who come here may not like this environment. Once these people are offended, they will be in trouble.”
"And we also have the most outrageous news media in Kuye City. Once they smell something strange here, pick up rumors and magnify small things, then the problem will be big..."
After all, food still needs to be eaten and life needs to go on. The institute cannot close down because of such a trivial matter.
Hearing this, Xiaozhi and the other three nodded cautiously.
They have only been here for less than a day, and they have already deeply experienced the horror of Kuye City's news media.
"So our mission is to find this Pokémon? I understand."
Xiaozhi's expression lifted, and another interpretation was that he was asked to subdue this troublemaker.
Earn blood.
"Then I'll leave it to you... The three of us will have to go out later for something else, so I'll leave it all to you, Xiaozhi-san."
Sakuragi showed a helpless smile and patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder.
They are researchers and their combat capabilities are not high, so they can only entrust outsiders rather embarrassingly.
"Of course I won't trouble you in vain. If you can really solve this supernatural incident, I will give you three tickets for the St. Ann's cruise ship that will sail the day after tomorrow."
Dr. Sakuragi added something before leaving.
After hearing this, the three people's eyes lit up, they were waiting for your words!
...
...
...
Soon after, Dr. Sakuragi and the other three left.
At the Sakuragi Research Institute of Nuo University, only Xiaozhi and three others were left.
They were formulating strategies on how to lure the troublesome Pokémon out.
"If another novice appears at this time, I can conquer the troublemakers and at the same time complete the illustrated achievement..."
Xiaozhi suddenly sighed.
Not only did he say this sentence, he saw a voice coming from the door.
"Hey, hey, is Xiaochun here? I came to play with you!"
The voice sounds a bit childish, and he shouldn't be very old.
When the visitor walked into the door, the three of them took a closer look.
I saw that this person was a young man with short black hair, a few curly hairs, and a dark complexion that even rivaled Xiaogang's. When he saw the three of them, their expressions became confused.
Judging by his age, he should be about the same age as Xiaozhi.
"You are...?"
"Let me ask first, are you a trainer?"
Xiaozhi's eyes were as wide as bells, and he asked first.
"Well, I have to wait a year before I can receive Pokémon..."
The dark-skinned boy replied subconsciously.
Hearing this, Xiaozhi's eyes suddenly became brighter than ever before, and his tone became serious.
"It's up to you. I want to be your dad...I want to teach you how to catch Pokémon!"
