Pokémon: The Bold Rat

Zhao Yiyuan, who only had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, was filled with helplessness. In the end, he went back to his workstation according to his memory.

"Oh, it's rare, Kimura-kun, you actually came on time."

As soon as I arrived at the B2 experimental area, a bald, middle-aged man in a white research coat looked surprised.

He is the director of this area and is also an associate professor.

I have a deep impression of Takuya Kimura. After all, this guy is the youngest and most hardworking under me.

I usually arrive an hour early.

Looking at the middle-aged man who greeted him, Zhao Yiyuan was stunned for a moment, quickly searched through the received memory, and soon found the memory of this person.

"Professor Hong, I am a little exhausted. Slow down, slowly."

As he spoke, he pointed to the dark circles under his eyes.

"Well, you finally know how to take care of your body.

I've advised you so many times before, not to work so hard, not to work so hard, but you never listened.

Now you know how painful it is.”

After taking a close look at Kimura Takuya's face, Professor Hong replied with a look of disappointment.

"How about this, I'll grant you a day off today, and you can go back to your room and rest for a day.

Your body is your capital!"

These words made Zhao Yiyuan have an idea. He didn't know what he wanted to do in the first place, and his scientific research level was not up to the level of the original owner. Was he worried about this?

Unexpectedly, I felt sleepy and someone brought me a pillow.

But you can't escape the first grade of junior high school, but you can't escape the fifteenth grade.

Just one day off wouldn't make much difference, so after thinking about it, he shook his head.

“Professor Hong, thank you for your kindness, but since I’m here, I’d better stay in the laboratory.

See if there is anyone who can help colleagues.”

"Haha~ That's fine, then you can look around today and help if you can."

"it is good."

After dealing with Professor Hong, Zhao Yiyuan went to the area he was responsible for according to the photos on the wall.

I saw that his own laboratory table was filled with various bottles and jars of medicines, as well as various messy paper materials.

He picked one up at random and took a look. Fortunately, his level had reached that of a beginner scholar, so he was able to understand it.

"Elite elemental power, detailed explanation of water attribute energy."

But I only understood the general idea and realized that it was a document that studied the power of the water element.

He muttered to himself, then put it down again and started looking for someone to help him.

"I need help, Fumino-kun!"

"Okay, please record the data."

"Mr. Zhigao, did you just research this reagent? What is it used for?"

"This is the refined elemental essence. It will be sent to Area A later."

……

He asked questions and helped out throughout the whole day, and finally got a general understanding of the B-level area where he was staying.

Their main research subjects are elite and gym-level Pokémon.

Refining elemental power and extracting elemental essence are the main tasks.

The power of elements, as the power of laws that can only be touched by elites and above, is of much higher quality than the extraordinary energy below the elites. With it, the elites can achieve qualitative changes.

The extracted elemental essence eliminates the original owner's consciousness and removes the power of the magazine's higher-level laws.

According to Professor Hong, a low-quality elemental essence is the source of energy for the entire body of an ordinary elite.

Because of the scarcity of elite-level elves, the research institute did not exhaust the resources and indiscriminately kill these elite, gym-level elves.

However, if all the energy in the body is forcibly extracted, the corresponding elf will be seriously injured and will need to rest for about ten days to half a month.

If the energy is extracted for a long time, there will be a risk of falling back to a lower realm or even losing one's life.

At this time, Team Rocket would naturally not be so kind as to release these captured Pokémon, but would directly extract them along with their life energy.

This way you can also get an elemental essence of higher quality.

As for the use of this elemental essence, it is no secret to the researchers in their core areas.

This thing is equivalent to an energy crystal multiplied countless times. Its quality and the energy it contains are incomparable to energy crystals.

It can be directly absorbed by the elves without any side effects, and can also quickly increase energy.

This made Zhao Yiyuan feel moved and he sighed secretly.

[As expected, the Elf Realm, as the origin of the elves, has a different background. 】

He is no longer a small-town test-taker (trainer) with little knowledge. He already knows that the resources provided to the Pokémon by the elite trainers on Blue Planet are either high-quality energy crystals, evolution stones of corresponding attributes, or low-level items of corresponding attributes.

For example, miracle seeds of grass attribute and dragon fangs of dragon attribute can both be absorbed as resources.

In addition, there are the limited supply energy blocks that she mentioned when communicating with King Liu Ran before.

I have also asked, since there are energy crystals for use below the elites, why are there no energy crystals for use above the elites?

The answer is that no mineral veins of sufficient quality have been found in nature.

Now that I think about it, there probably isn’t any in the elf world either, but they have found another way and can make it themselves.

This technology is definitely far ahead of the Blue Star Human Alliance.

With this technology, more top powerhouses will emerge in the human alliance.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yiyuan studied more seriously.

In the following few days, although he used the excuse of being ill and did not do experiments alone, he was not idle. Instead, he worked harder than usual and kept helping out.

He looks like a hardworking apprentice in this experimental area.

Many colleagues were deeply moved, and Professor Hong even talked to him privately.

"Takuya-kun, I know you want to make up for the regret of not being able to do scientific research, but your health is the most important!

You will wear your body out by doing this, so why not take a long vacation and have some rest.

No matter how good your scientific research is, you still need to be alive.”

This made Zhao Yiyuan, who was misunderstood, laugh and cry. He was still worrying about how to explain it.

Now that Professor Hong had imagined it himself, he replied:

“Professor Hong, my dream since childhood has been to become a great professor of elf studies.

Now that I can’t conduct the experiment independently due to my health problems, are you going to extinguish my hope as well?”

As he spoke, his eyes dimmed and his expression was lost, as if he had lost all his energy.

"No, no, no, Takuya-kun, I'm just worried about your health."

Seeing this scene, combined with his previous impression of Kimura Takuya as a scientific maniac, Associate Professor Hong did not doubt him and quickly changed his explanation.

This made Zhao Yiyuan's eyes light up again.

"Don't worry, Professor Hong, I know my own body well. I'm just helping other colleagues. It's much easier than doing the extraction experiment independently.

I will pay attention!"

"Oh~Okay, okay, then it's up to you."

Having said this, Professor Hong adjusted his single-frame glasses and gave up the idea of ​​persuasion.

Fortunately, with Mewtwo about to be born, the flow of time has returned to normal. Although it still feels a bit fast, it is different from before when several months passed in a flash.

This time, Zhao Yiyuan truly felt the passage of time and learned a lot.

After playing for more than ten days, I have to try it myself no matter how long I put it off.

Otherwise, no matter how glorious his past experience was, the core experimental area would not be able to keep a person who only eats for free.

During the period when he is recuperating, can his tasks be shared by others?

It was fine if it was like this for ten days or so, but some people started to complain even though they were helping out the whole time.

After all, even if these extra tasks are completed, they will not be given a raise or an increase in contribution.

So, after realizing this and having learned the general idea, he took the initiative to find Professor Hong and proposed to conduct another independent experiment.

Professor Hong, who was having a headache about this matter, naturally agreed.

In front of a huge culture chamber, Zhao Yiyuan, dressed in a white coat, was operating the instrument in an expert manner.

What he extracted today was the elemental power of an elite-level Blastoise.

As the league's mortal enemy, the Rockets have captured the most of these three major teams.

There are elite and gym levels!

[Elf]: Blastoise

[Level]: LV47

[Moves]: Mastery: Water Cannon

Skilled: rocket nose cone, shell retraction, water gun, foam ray...

Looking at the elite boss who was forced into a deep sleep with tubes inserted all over his body, he did not hesitate.

With a "click", the extract button was pressed.

"Drip drop~"

All indicator lights lit up and the computer began to perform its functions according to the instructions entered by Zhao Yiyuan.

Soon, the tubes began to move as if they had life.

Visible to the naked eye, a teardrop-shaped elemental mark appeared on the Blastoise's forehead.

"Kamei~Kamei!"

As if he had seen something terrifying, he unleashed the elemental force as if it were free.

However, the elemental explosion outside that could easily shatter a small earth slope could only cause the incubator to shake slightly.

"Buzz~"

The blue nutrient solution shook slightly, and then there was no sound.

You have to know that Team Rocket has even controlled legendary beasts before, so how difficult is it to control an elite Pokémon?

If the elven world had not suffered a major change in nature, there would be no need for other forces to intervene.

The Rockets alone in their heyday were able to sweep the Human Alliance on Blue Planet.

Whether it is technology or the level of strength of the elves!

Just like that, he watched the water droplet element mark on the arrow turtle's forehead shake seven or eight times. After it gradually calmed down, Zhao Yiyuan collected a test tube of blue liquid.

It's not quite right to call it liquid; it's more like mist floating in the test tube.

Under the white light, it sparkles like a miniature galaxy and looks very beautiful.

The step of extracting elemental power is a success.

But the difficult part is actually extraction!

There are complete sets of machines and applicable formulas to extract elemental power from elves. As long as you don't make any operating mistakes, you will succeed.

However, the extracted elemental power still contains Blastoise's information, so other Pokémon cannot use it at all.

What they need to do is remove this information and compress it into crystals that can be preserved.

This step is the most difficult.

Taking the small tube outside, he continued to extract.

"Tick-tick~Diebu~"

In the hourglass-like instrument, the blue mist really turned into liquid and became even bluer, dripping down drop by drop.

Zhao Yiyuan's face lit up with joy. He didn't expect it to be so smooth. He succeeded in the extraction on his first personal experiment.

But just as he turned around to prepare for the third step.

"boom!"

There was an explosion from the hourglass.

Looking back, I saw a large amount of blue energy dissipating into the air.

"Damn it, how could I fail?"

After complaining in frustration, he still started cleaning and checking honestly.

Finally, we found out that it was because the instrument was not cleaned properly and there was dust inside.

Speechless for a while...

There is no other choice but to start over again.

In this way, throughout the day, the sound of "bang bang bang" explosions could be heard every few days.

Fortunately, the Rockets provided them with a lot of Pokémons, which was more than enough.

So, in the end, he got a fingernail-sized, ice-blue, crystal-clear water element crystal.

"It's so beautiful! I finally made it. I think I have mastered this technique!"

He carefully put away the elemental crystal and did not put it in the confiscation task bar.

These small fragments are not considered finished products at all. A real finished product should be the size of an adult's palm.

After failing many times, he started to produce in small quantities in order to be safe.

In this way, the number of operations will be doubled, and you will gradually become proficient.

Unfortunately, even if you do this, you will only get a small fragment after a day's hard work.

Of course, it is worth one hundred thousand. Converted into contribution points, it is worth about three hundred contribution points, which can be regarded as a potential benefit for their scientific researchers.

Occasionally, some small fragments would be picked up, and Professor Hong, who was checking them, would turn a blind eye and let them go.

As for the amount of work today, Zhao Yiyuan is not in a hurry at all. It is due once every 7 days and it is only the second day.

He returned to his room and closed the door like a thief.

"quack!"

"Kuja~Kuja!"

"Pulada!"

The three little ones who had been stuck in the room and could only train came over immediately, and they all deliberately lowered their voices.

Although there are already many suspicious points about him, it would be good if he could be exposed for one less day.

So the three little ones are usually kept in the room by him for training.

Bitter~

When he possessed Qing Teng Mu Yi before, he was also a combatant, so it was reasonable for him to borrow the training room and the training ground.

But now he's Takuya Kimura, and his only Pokémon is the pet-type Rattata, so how can he possibly use the training room?

Even energy crystals and elf food cannot be changed casually, and you can only eat the leftovers from the past.

But all this will soon be over after he masters the elemental essence technology!

The research institute asks laboratories in each region to submit their results every week.

Professor Hong did this job in shifts. After all, for most scientific researchers, delivering goods was a complete waste of time.

The amount of work to be delivered this week will not be reduced just because you spend half a day delivering goods.

So, no one likes to deliver goods.

Zhao Yiyuan could have gone to Area A earlier in the name of delivering goods, but he didn't, just to master the technology of extracting the essence of the elements.

Even Xiao Huang Buxi's reminder to spend energy again was temporarily put on hold by him.

This technology can bring great benefits to the Blue Star Alliance. At the very least, it can double the number of elite and professional-level experts within ten years.

In comparison, Mewtwo, which is still more than two months away from being born, can definitely wait a little longer.
