Chapter 546
Teacher Yu has done all the bad things!
Due to the black technology blessing of the Pokémon world, Xiang Qingyu's main forces and other cloned Pokémon were all thoroughly checked, and their energy was quickly restored through treatment with special equipment.
However, the problems with Mewtwo and the "Abu" in Red's hands were not so easy to solve and required further examination.
And while waiting for the Pokémon to recover their strength, Xiang Qingyu soon learned some information from Red and Green.
For example, they had only just embarked on their journey this year, but currently, their badges had basically been collected; they were just waiting to clear the Viridian Gym to each possess the qualification to challenge the Champion Road.
It's just a pity...
When they arrived in Viridian City, the Viridian Gym had already been surrounded by the International Police, so naturally, they couldn't challenge it either.
As a result, he didn't expect Red to keenly discover this Eevee while passing by a sewer, and discovered that it was seriously injured and in danger of life at any time.
That was why he rushed to the nearby Pokémon Center in one breath regardless of everything, and happened to meet Xiang Qingyu here.
"..."
Xiang Qingyu also felt a bit emotional for a moment.
Sure enough, was this the bond of fate? Even if the sequence of events was a bit wrong, he could still encounter this Pokémon that seemed destined to belong to Red in an outrageous way.
"Speaking of which, the two cultivation notes that Teacher Yu gave us at that time really helped a lot!"
Compared to Red, who had a worried face, looked at the inside of the Pokémon Center from time to time, and seemed a bit absent-minded, Green was obviously much more talkative.
"I feel like the content above is like it was tailor-made for me; every Pokémon captured on the road has detailed cultivation methods and goals recorded, as if it had predicted the future."
Regarding this, Xiang Qingyu only smiled faintly.
If it couldn't reach this level, wouldn't it be strange instead?
After all, this note was very likely from Green, who had already grown into a mature Gym Leader in the future; could it not be suitable?
As for why the future Green wasn't a mature Champion...
Don't ask; asking means he didn't want to be one anymore!
Just as Xiang Qingyu and Green were chatting, Nurse Joy, who was guarding Viridian City, soon opened the door and walked out.
"Thank you for your hard work, Nurse Joy."
Seeing Nurse Joy appear, Red finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Nurse Joy had a solemn expression and shook her head.
She first looked at Xiang Qingyu.
"Teacher Yu, I have never seen the Pokémon you brought either, but there should be no problems with its body."
"However, even though the individual looks very mature, judging from the data collected... it should still be in the juvenile stage of rapid growth, right?"
After Nurse Joy finished half of her words, she deliberated for a while before speaking again.
"So, it's better to let it participate in fewer battles during this period."
Xiang Qingyu nodded helplessly.
Although the words were spoken relatively tactfully, it could also be clearly heard that Nurse Joy was complaining that Mewtwo had participated in too many battles.
This was not his pot; it was all Boss Sakaki's problem!
And even if it was entrusted by Mew and lived in the Sunshine Gym, Xiang Qingyu couldn't possibly let Mewtwo go on stage to fight with newcomers.
What kind of newcomer could withstand the combat power of a legendary beast...
Nurse Joy soon turned her head again and looked at Red, who had a worried face.
"This Eevee's injuries are very serious; although it was treated in time, it still needs to rest for a considerable period of time, and..."
"Compared to the physical injuries, its genes are almost more chaotic than ordinary Eevee, and I don't know how to solve this point either."
"Perhaps you should go to the nearby Pallet Town; Professor Oak is an authority on Pokémon research, and he might have a way to deal with Eevee's genetic chaos."
"..."
Red didn't seem surprised by this, and after sighing silently, he tried hard to squeeze out a smile and looked at Nurse Joy.
"I understand; I'm really sorry to trouble you, Nurse Joy."
"Sigh..."
Green behind him couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and soon patted Red on the shoulder.
The two were indeed rivals, but rivals also meant cherishing each other, so Green felt the same way about Red's mood at this time.
"It's okay, Red; let's go find Grandpa right now!"
"And Teacher Yu too; since you've come to the Guandou region, do you want to go back to Pallet Town with us?"
Green turned around and looked at Xiang Qingyu with an expectant face.
"Before I set off on my journey, Grandpa often talked about Teacher Yu to me; if he could see Teacher Yu again, Grandpa would probably be very happy."
"..."
Xiang Qingyu's mouth twitched, and he nodded.
In a sense, Professor Oak was really his old fan.
Starting from the time he used the bug relay tactic in that battle with Adu, Professor Oak had been active in his video comment section from time to time.
During the Dragon-type Master Tournament held in Mesagoza, he also brought Red and Green to the scene to watch the competition and witnessed his outstanding performance in the "Master Group."
Even Cynthia and Adu had been influenced by his tactical ideas...
Recalling this, Xiang Qingyu couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart:
Why does it feel like no matter which region he goes to, he can meet a large group of fans?
Pallet Town, an ordinary small town located in the south of Viridian City.
Logically speaking, a town located on the edge of the map like this shouldn't have much presence in the Guandou region.
However, because batch after batch of elite trainers set sail from here, Pallet Town was therefore filled with a thick legendary color in the eyes of players.
After all, Pokémon stories all had to start from here.
And as Professor Oak, who currently held one of the world's only two "Battle Legend" titles, he also chose to return to his hometown after retiring and established the Oak Laboratory, which was regarded as "Jerusalem" by many Pokémon scholars.
After following Green and Red to Pallet Town, Xiang Qingyu immediately noticed a huge landmark building.
Isolated from the residents' houses, it occupied about a quarter of the entire town's area, covered a small hill within it, and was divided into many natural places arranged in imitation of the wild environment, specifically provided for Pokémon of different attributes to live and inhabit here.
It could be said that this building was a natural ecological park.
Obviously, this was the Oak Laboratory.
"This place is really big..."
Xiang Qingyu spoke subconsciously.
It seems that there is usually no research base of such a large scale, right? Perhaps this is also Professor Oak's consideration for building the laboratory in Pallet Town?
But then again, if it weren't for such a large scale, the hundreds of Pokémon from various regions that Ash sent over one after another in the anime probably wouldn't be able to be placed...
Just those thirty Tauros alone would need enough space for them to run.
"Because Grandpa doesn't just cultivate Pokémon from the Guandou region here; Pokémon exchanged from other regions generally grow up here too."
Speaking of the topic of Grandpa, Green couldn't help but show a bit of pride.
Because of Green, who was Professor Oak's capable assistant and grandson, they didn't even need to open their mouths; the researchers nearby took the initiative to open the gate for them.
At the same time, this researcher also quickly typed a line of text in the group chat—
"No spies, Teacher Yu seems to have come to our Oak Laboratory!"
"Making a fuss, haven't seen... ah? Wait? Who???"
"Oh my god, why did Teacher Yu come? Hurry up and notify Professor Oak!"
"The Professor at this time... should be eating instant noodles near the nursery, right? Is anyone nearby?"
The chat group, which was originally silent during working hours, was instantly blown up, and countless staff members immediately received the news of Xiang Qingyu's arrival.
And Green also walked into the laboratory with ease, and soon led Xiang Qingyu to a building that seemed to be a nursery.
"At this point in time, Grandpa should most likely be squatting inside eating instant noodles..."
Walking here, Green suddenly felt a bit regretful.
Letting others know that his own Grandpa was actually a research fanatic who didn't even have time to cook and often just made do with a cup of noodles, would it have some impact on his image?
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Professor Oak was not only an expert and authority in the academic field but also a Master-level trainer who had already been invincible in the world many years ago; who could have thought that he was actually such a person who didn't care about details...
Seemingly hearing the movement outside, the door of the nursery was soon opened by someone.
An old man with gray hair who looked full of energy appeared, and he was stunned the moment he saw the visitor.
"Xiang Qingyu?"
Seemingly a bit unbelievable, Professor Oak even rubbed his eyes before finally confirming.
But soon, his gaze was attracted by the two Pokémon behind Xiang Qingyu.
Professor Oak did not recognize one of the Pokémon whose body was closer to human form, which undoubtedly immediately aroused his curiosity.
As for the other one, it was even more outrageous...
"Isn't this Mew???"
Professor Oak was immediately dumbfounded, looking very surprised.
Professor Oak, who was knowledgeable and had absolute authority in the field of Pokémon research, recognized this legendary "Phantom Pokémon" at a glance.
In the Guandou region, Dratini was already rare enough, which was why it was once also called a Phantom Pokémon.
However, compared to Mew, which might not have a single sighting report in decades, it was still too far behind.
And yet, such an individual, whose existence Professor Oak couldn't even be sure of, had inexplicably appeared in the Oak Laboratory?
Very magical.
However, it looked like these two Pokémon should both have something to do with Xiang Qingyu?
If possible, he really wanted to discuss with him whether he could let him measure Mew's various data...
Professor Oak couldn't help but think so.
It was said that Mew was the origin of Pokémon, and all the genes carried by all Pokémon were just a part of its body.
If he could have a certain understanding of Mew, he believed that new progress could be made in the theoretical research of Pokémon.
"Mew?"
Mew, who was still leaning on the top of Mewtwo's head, heard someone calling its name, immediately raised its head curiously, and looked at Professor Oak in front.
Looking closely, Mew soon discovered the difference in this old man.
On him, it seemed there was the unique aura of time and life of one of its old friends...
This person was also not an ordinary person.
It was just that the expression he looked at it with was a bit strange?
To use human words, it seemed to be...
Perverted?
"Ahem—Grandpa!"
Green also discovered this point, and immediately spoke in a low voice helplessly, reminding his Grandpa to pay attention to his image.
Every time he encountered a very rare Pokémon, his own Grandpa always seemed to show this expression, which in a sense was also very pure...
After being reminded by Green, Professor Oak finally came back to his senses.
"Long time no see, Professor Oak."
Xiang Qingyu took the initiative to greet him.
"For you, it is indeed a long time no see, but..."
