Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

Chapter 161: What We Observed at the Research Institute

"This is the ecological zone in the research institute. It was bought and built by Professor Yamanashi in order to better observe the evolution of Pokémon." Long Li pointed to a tall mountain and introduced, "There are more than 130 species of Pokémon living in this mountain and the surrounding grove."

"How amazing." Mary's eyes were filled with amazement, but she was not too surprised in her heart. After all, the entire Crown Forest currently belonged to Eslo. It was a large forest in the Sinnoh region that was only slightly smaller than the Pathé Forest. It contained more than two small mountain ranges and was much larger than this ecological zone.

Again, say thank you to Daigo quickly.

"Mmm!"

Just then, Mukle, whom the two had met earlier, flew over, flapping his wings happily and greeting the boy and girl.

Mukher: Hi~See you again! ξ( ?>??)

"Hello, Mukle!" Aislo was very cooperative.

"Hello, Mukher!" Mary echoed.

"Uh, um? Hello, Mukle!" Long Li was stunned for a moment, but still imitated the two of them and greeted them.

Mukher:?

The black bird tilted its head, looking at Long Li in confusion, who usually brought it food. It didn't quite understand why he followed and said hello.

"Ahem..." Long Li coughed awkwardly a few times, then called the two of them to go to the next place together.

"By the way, Brother Long Li, are you the only one left in this entire institute?" Aislo asked while looking around. After all, since he came to the institute, he had not seen any other staff members except Long Li.

"Oh, actually there is one more, but that guy should be dozing off now." When he mentioned this, a hint of resentment appeared in Long Li's eyes. Dr. Yamanashi has only three assistants in total, and the rest are staff members of the institute. After Dr. Yamanashi left with an assistant a few days ago, the entire institute went on holiday, leaving only the two assistants to guard the institute.

“Why wasn’t I the one being taken away…” Long Li shouted in his heart. Guarding a research institute was the most annoying thing.

At this moment, Aislo's voice came, attracting Long Li's attention, "Hey? What is this?"

Aislo looked at the strange-looking machine in front of him in confusion. Although he had seen many various machines of unknown purpose in the research institute before, this was the first time he had seen one that looked so strange.

The boy did not take the initiative to touch it. After all, in many places, especially in laboratories or research institutes, touching things randomly can easily get into trouble.

The size of this machine is not too big. The main body is like a jar about three meters high, and there are many display screens connected around the jar. The most important thing is that the paint color of this machine is red and green.

"Well, we haven't named it yet." Long Li thought for a moment before speaking, "Its general purpose is to detect the physical condition and strength of Pokémon. It is similar to the functions of the instruments currently on the market, but relatively speaking, it is more detailed. It should be ready for replacement soon."

"I see..." Mary nodded slightly, "So why is the color so strange?"

"This..." Long Li was silent for a moment, as he saw the color that was a bit offensive to his eyes. "This was done by the other two assistants. They were arguing about which color was the best-looking, red or green... They were just like little kids, arguing about it every day. Obviously, the best-looking color is blue."

"..."

"Oh, by the way, do you want to try it? Or can you help us?" Long Li continued, "Currently, this machine has only scanned Pokémon in the ecological zone, but the strength of those Pokémon is relatively weak. The only strong Pokémon scanned is the champion-level Mook-Hawk in the hands of Professor Yamazato. We need more data to confirm whether it is accurate."

Aislo and Mary looked at each other, then nodded in agreement.

"No problem, how do I do it?" Aislo asked.

"Just let the elf stand in that jar." Long Li said, and clicked a few times on the display screen of the machine, and the jar opened.

"Maybe it would be better to adjust this machine and convert this jar into a form that can hold Poké Balls." Mary complained. After all, this jar could hardly hold some oversized Pokémon.

"Well, we have thought about this problem too. It is easy to solve. Just make some minor modifications." Long Li nodded. After all, they already had this technology. All they had to do was make modifications based on this "Unit-01".

"You go first?" Aislo looked at Mary.

"No problem." Mary agreed, then released her elves and asked them to line up and prepare to enter the jar one by one.

First up is the hairy troll.

[Elf: Long-haired Troll]

Age: 16 (years old)

[Strength: Champion]

[Physical condition: excellent, very healthy, no hidden injuries]

[Suggestion: None]

"No hidden injuries..." There was a hint of amazement in Long Li's eyes. Even with the continuous development of technology and the medical level far superior to before, there are still many Pokémon's hidden injuries that cannot be effectively or promptly cured. After all, there are too many types of Pokémon and their injuries are complicated. Their body structures and treatment methods also have certain differences. The lack of hidden injuries is enough to show the trainer's emphasis on and excellent training of his Pokémon.

"Haha..." The hairy troll glanced at Marie, then returned to the Poké Ball after confirming with the girl.

Later, the Pokémons came on the field one by one, the king-level Morbek, the quasi-king-level Kotaku and Turbaned Gangster, the gym-level Cool Leopard and Poison Skull Frog. The Pokémons had different strengths, but they all had one thing in common - no hidden damage.

"Hmm?" Long Li felt something was wrong. After all, for an elf that often fought, the possibility of leaving hidden injuries was very high. In addition, there had been no effective technology to find the location of the hidden injuries, so it was very difficult to treat them. It was almost impossible for six elves in a row to have no hidden injuries left.

Next came Esiro's Pokémon, and the process was similar, including the champion-level Ma and Absol, the queen-level Umbreon, Croaking, and Zoroark, the quasi-queen-level Molbek and Magellar, and the gym-level Shakiras.

The elves all have the same thing in common: no hidden injuries remain.

"Maybe it's because of the influence of God?" Long Li was a little unsure, but this was what he thought was the most reasonable guess.

After registering the data, Long Li took the two on a tour. After about another hour, Aislo and Mary said goodbye and left Dr. Yamanashi's research institute.
