Opening the door and stepping into the villa-like research institute, I saw no one in the empty hall.
Yurika was not surprised at all. She walked directly into a room on the side of the hall.
"Doctor! Someone is looking for you!"
"Eh!? Ah!? Oh oh oh!"
Yurika's shout came together with a man's voice.
Not long after, Yurika walked out of the room with her chin raised, and with her came a middle-aged man in a white coat, with a tall figure and a beard, who looked lazy but very tasteful.
He yawned and looked sleepy.
Bratano, the Pokémon doctor in the Kalos region, specializes in studying Mega evolution. By the way, he is also known as the public lover in the Kalos region because of his charming appearance.
"Who is looking for..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Xu Qiansu and Ma Li. His lazy expressions were instantly gone. He walked forward quickly and said with a smile, "Xu Qiansu? Ma Li?"
He knew Xu Qiansu and Ma Li.
"PhD."
"PhD."
The two nodded.
"I have heard about you from doctors in other regions..." As he said that, Buratano moved his gaze to Chirulian, with a hint of inquiry as a researcher in his eyes.
Chilulian frowned and flew into Xu Qiansu's arms.
Bratano smiled upon seeing this, "I'm sorry, but I'm actually very interested in all three of your Pokémon, especially Kirulian... As a Pokémon that can evolve into Mega, I also The impact of heterochromia on the evolution of MEGA has not been studied.”
"I'm sorry, I don't have the idea of letting Qilulian participate in any research at the moment, please forgive me." Xu Qiansu smiled gently, but refused.
Xu Qiansu has a physical rejection of Pokémon research. Even if Dr. Buratano cannot harm Pokémon's body, he is not willing to do so.
"It doesn't matter." Buratano waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are here to receive the croaking frog."
With that said, he immediately walked towards the backyard, motioning for the two of them to follow.
But Yurika was left alone.
"Hmph!" Yurika snorted dissatisfiedly, and then followed her with her short legs.
It seems that the backyard of every research institute is similar. It is a very large natural area.
Rivers, forests, lakes and grasslands are scattered throughout.
Various Pokémon live among them.
Two female assistants from the research institute were holding documents and observing the ecology of Pokémon.
Seeing everyone, he nodded slightly and said hello, then looked away and continued working.
Everyone walked towards a small lake.
Eevee lay in Mali's arms, raising his face and curiously looking at the various Pokémon around him.
Ma Li pinched her little face and put her down, indicating that she could go play around.
"Boo~" Ibrahimovic's fluffy and cute big tail rubbed happily on Mali's calf, and then he walked toward Miaomiao with a graceful cat walk, wanting to make friends with this cute Pokémon.
Immediately he fell down.
Miaomiao was startled and flew over cautiously.
Ibrahimovic sniffed, his big eyes so watery that he was about to cry.
She worked hard day and night to imitate the elegant catwalks of Pickpocket Cat and Vulpix, but why couldn't she learn it?
The pickpocket cat's eyes twitched and he followed helplessly.
Morubeko and Dongdongshu, two newly made friends, also went to play together.
Xu Qiansu looked away, only to find Qilulian staring blankly in one direction.
He turned his head and looked a little surprised.
"Gardevoir?"
This was the first time Xu Qiansu saw Gardevoir.
Bratano explained: "I have watched this Gardevoir grow up since the time of Lalulas, and it is now twenty years old... Thanks to her, my MEGA research on the Gardevoir group has been able to progress. .”
Gardevoir has short green hair, big red eyes, facial features similar to that of a human girl, and a tall figure. She has a floor-length white skirt that is split at the thighs, revealing her slender legs.
Every move reveals an elegant and noble charm.
Gardevoir noticed Kirulian's gaze, tilted his head, jumped slightly, and the hem of his skirt flew over.
She looked at Kirulian in Xu Qiansu's arms for a while, then reached out and touched Kirulian's blue hair and amber hair ornament-like horns.
"Shanaisha~" She looked at Xu Qiansu and spoke softly.
"Your dear Chirulian, she is very beautiful... Only Chirulian who often senses the trainer's positive emotions can become so cute..."
An intermittent, but very gentle and soft female voice suddenly appeared in Xu Qiansu's mind.
The characteristic of this Gardevoir is telepathy?
As he said that, Gardevoir stretched out his hand and touched Xu Qiansu's eyebrows softly, "But... you always frown... maybe... she becomes so cute because she likes you so much... …But…don’t, don’t frown, but…be happy.”
Gardevoir's hands were soft and warm.
Xu Qiansu pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern."
"Lian?" Kirulian was shocked. She didn't know what Gardevoir was talking to her Xu Qiansu... She just thought why in this world, wild Pokémon don't even look at the rightful owner and just take advantage of it?
Moreover, isn't this Gardevoir a million times cuter than me... When I evolve, I will definitely be much cuter and more elegant than her!
She flew up from Xu Qiansu's arms and stared at Gardevoir dissatisfied with her big amber eyes, "Lian! (He is me!)".
Gardevoir looked at her for a while, then stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, caressing Kirulian's back, "Gardevoir... Gardevoir~ (I didn't sense the aura of other Gardevoir in you... you You must have had a hard time when you were a kid~)”
Kirulian was slightly startled and stopped talking.
Bratano's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up his phone and opened the memo to record. The process of getting along with Gardevoir and Kirulian, the first time he met, was also extremely rare in the Pokémon ecosystem.
Ma Li glanced at Xu Qiansu, then passed him and came to the lake, looking at the many croaking frogs swimming in the lake and lying on the lake shore.
Youlijia looked at the two of them for a few times, then trotted to catch up with Mali, "Mali Mali, what kind of croaking frog do you like~"
"Be independent and don't follow the crowd, live strong." Ma Li looked past the crowd of lazy or playing croaking frogs, with a bit of disappointment in her eyes.
Although this kind of croaking frog prepared for new trainers cannot be too strong, but... it is also too weak. It is no match for Pickpocket Cat or Morubeko, even if it is still an adult. Long-term Ibrahimovic can touch them.
But it doesn't matter if they are weak. Ma Li has the confidence to cultivate them to be strong. The key is that every one of these croaking frogs is one, and none of them meet Ma Li's expectations, which is to be independent and strong.
At least that's what it looks like at first glance.
Maybe I have to stay here for a little longer... Just when Ma Li thought about it, she heard Yuli say.
"Huh? A strange request..." Yurika knocked her little head in distress, then her eyes lit up and she laughed:
"Yurika, Yurika knows! There is a croaking frog who admires Xiaozhi's Koga ninja frog very much. He is always a Pokémon, always exercises alone, and often sneaks outside the research institute to simulate the wild. As for Survival... he is a child with a lot of personality!"
Ma Li nodded her chin, pondered for a moment, and looked at Xu Qiansu who was watching Qilulian. She found that he was not paying attention to her side. There was something inexplicable in his eyes, and then he was slightly startled. Why did he become so dependent on her? What about Xu Qiansu's choice?
Ever since she met Xu Qiansu, it was Xu Qiansu's idea for almost anything, and Ma Li just followed him silently...
My requirement for Pokémon is to be independent and not follow the crowd, but I seem to have lost this...
Ma Li shook her head and looked at Yulijia, "Please, I want to see that croaking frog."
"Okay!" Youlijia grinned, picked up a branch from the ground and waved it, excitedly like an adventure: "The croaking frog exploration team composed of Youlijia and Mali, set off~"
It was said to be an exploration team, but Yurika directly chose a direction and walked away. She must have known the location of the croaking frog.
Gardevoir put down Kirulian and turned around slightly. As the hem of her skirt flew up, a wall of emerald green light appeared in front of her.
She said softly to Chirulian: "I know you like your trainer very much... I teach you a move called 'Guard'. This move may not be able to protect you every time, but as you become more familiar with it, His love is getting deeper and deeper, and he will definitely be able to protect him at the critical moment..."
Seeing that Gardevoir seemed to be teaching Kirulian's moves, Xu Qiansu looked away and noticed Ma Li's retreating back. She couldn't help but be startled, and immediately stepped to follow.
The reason is simple. There are no Pokémon around Miss Marli, although the Pokémon in the study are very kind to humans.
But he was always worried.
