Chapter 419 Is he really a genius?
May 14th, a not-so-crazy Thursday.
Thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of Dr. Mustard's team, the medical examination, which was far too brief for them, has finally come to an end.
The doctor's promise to "return it to you tomorrow" has been delayed for four days.
During this time, Qingyu thoroughly experienced the life of a "Sinnoh son-in-law" and gradually understood why he chose to return to Sinnoh after his gym closed down.
Living off a rich woman is so tempting!
Of course, as an ambitious and simple young man, Qingyu never thought, "This seems like a good thing?" when faced with such bad temptations!
So, at Dr. Mustard's urging, he reluctantly entered the research institute.
"Your Pokémon are all very healthy, no—you should say they're a bit too healthy. Their physical abilities have almost surpassed the Pokédex records."
When Professor Iris returned the Poké Ball to Blue Feather, a hint of emotion appeared on his face.
According to the original plan, it was indeed impossible to drag it out for so long, but the data of the Pokémon that Qingyu raised did not match the Pokédex at all, so everything had to start from scratch.
Sylveon has learned many moves that theoretically Eevee cannot learn: Lucario, who is skilled in hand-to-hand combat and has amazing strength; Salamence, which can always Mega Evolve as long as it has enough energy and can also revert to its original form at any time; plus an Assassin who has somehow learned all sorts of strange psychic abilities.
Each one is extraordinary.
Of course, if it were just these few, it wouldn't be too bad.
What troubled Dr. Iris and her assistants even more were the other three Pokémon that were not recorded in the Pokédex at all.
For the past three days, they have spent most of their time conducting various ability tests on Milton, Urgot, and Mewtwo, and finally determined their initial attributes, characteristics, and some moves.
Aoba was carrying three of these brand-new Pokémon with him, even though they were usually hard to find.
Is it just good luck, or does this kid really have some special physique?
"Thank you for your hard work."
Under Dr. Mustard's scrutinizing gaze, Qingyu suddenly felt inexplicably guilty.
Pokémon's overpowered abilities are causing this kind of trouble?
wrong!
My partners and I are where we are today because of everyone's hard work and dedication. How can you say we've cheated?
"Was it hard? I felt the time was too short to get detailed data from them."
Dr. Mustard smiled, his eyes sparkling.
"Besides, you probably understand, Qingyu. For us researchers, it's much more interesting to be busy with brand new and unknown Pokémon than to worry about data that has already been thoroughly studied, right?"
Her words resonated with many of the newcomers at the research institute.
To them, Qingyu, who delivered the brand-new thesis topic, was absolutely a god-like figure.
Such a promising talent, why wasn't he kept in Sinnoh back then?
Although this kid's talent as a trainer is indeed extraordinary, being a trainer and being a mythologist are not mutually exclusive roles.
Isn't your own cabbage a perfect example? You need to have some other hobbies to be more likely to become a champion!
However, there should be other opportunities in the future.
Even if he has new bonds with Padia and has no plans to return to Sinnoh to settle down for the time being, it doesn't matter.
If all else fails, you can always create a new account.
By then, I'll be retired long ago, with plenty of time to enjoy life, and I can also help him and Zhulan.
Dr. Mustard's thoughts came to an abrupt halt.
Qingyu and Zhulan are only eighteen years old; it's too early for them to be thinking about these things.
and----
What if I keep thinking about this and lose all motivation to work in the future?
"By the way, I've decided to log the data of those three Pokémon into the Pokédex first."
Dr. Mustard Blue spoke again soon after.
"Although this is only the most basic data, your name will be permanently recorded in the encyclopedia database as the discoverer."
Qingyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then immediately took out the special illustration from her pocket.
Thanks to the Pokédex's real-time update feature, when he searched for Milerton, a rather reluctant-looking photo of his own Milerton's face popped up.
Milton (?? Pokémon, genderless)
[Type: Electric + Dragon]
【Characteristic: Unnamed (Actively deploys an electric field and enhances its special attack capabilities)】
[Movement: No data available]
[A somewhat timid personality]
[Discovered & Named by: Qingyu]
Just as Dr. Mustard said, Milton has now appeared in the Pokédex information, which was not there before.
Next, he searched for information on Urgot and Mewtwo, which were indeed as brief as Milton's, but overall almost identical to his "Mental Compendium".
The scholars in the Pokémon world are truly amazing for measuring accurate data within just three days.
In addition, even the aluminum-steel bridge dragon also appeared on a new page, and it was discovered that the name of the person who named it was also his own.
It must have been done by President Ye Ci, right?
As Qingyu sighed, she didn't notice the surprised look on Dr. Jiezilan's face beside her.
Red — Special Illustration?
No wonder Oki seems to have a good relationship with Aoba; it turns out that Oki is a Pokédex holder who has already gained his approval?
However, that makes sense.
If it were him, a young man who could have multiple encounters with legendary Pokémon would surely be able to fulfill his wish of completing his Pokédex!
That's probably what Daiki was thinking.
After all, he was a little guy he had watched grow up. He was an even more outrageous little genius than Zhu Lan from a young age. It would be strange if Da Mu hadn't noticed his special qualities.
Dr. Mustard was very pleased, but he still kept a straight face.
"If there's nothing else, go back. Zhu Lan seems to be saying she wants to take you to Wise Lake to see if we can find any clues about the gods of the lake."
"While you're on your way, fill in the missing parts of the Pokédex. As the Pokédex holder, you have the authority to fill in the Pokédex content, and only you, as the discoverer, have this right."
"OK."
Just fill in the information according to the original encyclopedia; it doesn't require any brainpower.
Qingyu nodded and then quickly left the research institute.
Go home and find some adorable cabbages!
Now that the Pokémon have returned to the team, it's time to get down to business!
Lake of Ambition, Lake of Unity, and Lake of Wisdom are known as the three great lakes of the Sinnoh region.
"It is said that when mist rises from the lake, lucky people can vaguely see the figures of the lake gods, who will guide them away from here."
Sitting in the passenger seat, Qingyu held a collection of legends she had taken from Zhulan's house, reading aloud the contents as she did so.
"It feels like Sinnoh is full of myths and legends like this."
After closing the book, Qingyu couldn't help but sigh.
And, ironically, all of these are true.
In the world of Pokémon, most myths and legends correspond to historical events that have actually occurred. This is why archaeologists like Cynthia are called "mythologists" rather than historians.
Therefore, in a sense, mythology is part of history, rather than the various outlandish legends of past lives.
As for the existence of the Lake Gods, it is not a secret to the Sinnoh people.
-
"After all, this is Sinnoh, a place that has lived with the gods since ancient times, so it's normal to have more legendary Pokémon, right?"
Zhu Lan, who was focused on driving, smiled and replied.
Their destination today is Lake Wisdom in the northern Sinnoh Mountains, a journey that will take them quite a while, even from the town of Shohoku in the far north.
"The lake gods who dwell in the Lake of Wisdom are the Uxie, who brought wisdom to mankind. It is said that he is the most rational of the lake gods, and perhaps he would be willing to meet us."
"If we can gain the approval of one of the Lake Gods first, finding the other two will be much easier."
Hearing Zhu Lan's words, Qing Yu nodded in agreement.
While helping Zhu Lan translate ancient texts these past few days, he also saw the special device deep within the Spear Pillar ruins that Zhu Lan had photographed.
Besides the missing keyhole in the center, other things are missing from the corners of the six-pointed star-shaped stone slab, and finally, there are eighteen square gaps at the bottom.
It's easy to understand that a lot of preparation is needed to turn this thing on.
Aside from the stone tablets corresponding to the eighteen attributes and the three gems corresponding to the three Sinnoh gods, the last inverted triangle likely corresponds to the Lake Gods.
Although they have never been very prominent, they are, after all, one of Arceus’s original creations, and they had more opportunities to interact with him than the other three. As a result, their names have been widely circulated in Sinnoh folklore.
Time flew by as we chatted along the way.
"We've arrived."
As soon as Qingyu and Zhulan got out of the car, a huge lake that stretched as far as the eye could see immediately came into view.
"This is a wildlife reserve, so the rest of the way can only be reached on foot."
Zhu Lan brushed aside her golden hair, which was being blown by the wind, and looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her.
In mid-May, even Sinnoh, the northernmost region, was already lush and green, and the warm breeze made one's face feel slightly warm.
Perhaps for this reason, she didn't choose her signature black trench coat today, but instead wore a more casual outfit, with a long gray coat swaying slightly with her movements.
(This set? It's actually a bit too childish.)
"The weather is really nice today. If we don't find any trace of Yuuki, we'll just consider this a simple outing to relax~"
"What do you say, Qingyu?"
Just as Qingyu was secretly admiring Zhulan's back, she saw Zhulan suddenly turn around and look at her with a gentle smile.
He nodded, and at the same time subconsciously turned his head away.
She only changed her clothes, so why does Zhu Lan seem more charming today?
However, it's absolutely true that Zhu Lan looks great in anything!
Seeing his movements and subtle facial expressions, Zhu Lan, who had originally wanted to say something, blinked and then smiled even more broadly.
"Let's go, we have serious work to do today, so let's get going!"
As they spoke, Zhu Lan reached out and grasped Qing Yu's larger hand, then pulled him along as they strolled toward Wisdom Lake.
My hands are so soft————
This was Qingyu's immediate reaction.
But he quickly came to his senses and shook his head violently.
No, now is not the time to think about that.
Zhu Lan is right, work is the priority!
Qingyu immediately resumed her serious expression, but instead of letting go of Zhulan's hand, she took the initiative to grip it slightly tighter and quickly followed her steps.
Lake Wisdom is home to legendary Pokémon, so it's safer to walk hand in hand.
That's right, it's all for work!
Sensing Qingyu's response, Zhulan's expression remained unchanged, but the smile in her eyes seemed to deepen.
Her steps became lighter as a result.
The unfathomable and boundless Lake Wisdom is right before our eyes.
Qingyu subconsciously looked around and realized that there seemed to be no Pokémon around.
Since it's a protected area, there should be a large number of Pokémon living there, right?
Could it be—an anomaly!
Seemingly noticing his confusion, Cynthia shook her head and explained with a smile, "Pokémon are much more sensitive to auras than we humans are, so they can sense powerful auras."
"The gods of the lake dwell here, and most Pokémon will not easily venture into the vicinity, only occasionally appearing in the grass on the edge."
"However—there are some exceptions."
Zhu Lan was speaking when she suddenly pointed to the water in front of her.
After Qingyu glanced down into the water, she immediately understood what she meant.
A group of Magikarp with clear eyes and swaying bodies swam by underwater, followed closely by a Psyduck that had somehow joined the group of Magikarp.
These two Pokémon have one thing in common: they are both quite naive, so they probably didn't even notice that a powerful creature was inhabiting the area.
Nature is truly amazing!
Qingyu couldn't help but sigh.
Who would have thought that the seemingly ordinary and somewhat silly Magikarp would not only thrive in waters all over the world, but also have an extremely long lifespan?
Moreover, after evolving, it turned into a "fierce and ruthless" creature with a fiery temper.
"Yes, that's why Grandma always says that we should have a sense of awe for nature and Pokémon."
Zhu Lan also seemed slightly moved, and after responding with a comment, she looked up.
"The weather is so nice today, it looks like there won't be any fog. We might have come at a bad time."
According to past records, it seems that only in foggy weather can one encounter the lake gods of the three lakes, who will guide the lost.
Just as Zhu Lan was thinking that she should just stop working for the day and let Qing Yu accompany her to take a nice stroll around the neighborhood, Qing Yu suddenly spoke up.
"No, wait—"
Qingyu looked straight ahead.
He vaguely sensed that a gaze was staring intently at him from the bottomless pool beneath the lake's surface.
Although it could very well be an illusion, or simply a Magikarp or Psyduck.
But after a brief moment of thought, Qingyu decided to give it a try, so he immediately put his hands together to block in front of him.
"Come out, Yuuki!!!"
I see you!
Qingyu shouted loudly.
However—nothing happened.
—
Seeing that he seemed to want to wake up Yukshi with his voice, Zhulan chuckled and then spoke softly after laughing for a while.
"This lake may be hundreds of meters deep, and it's impossible for Yukshi to hear us just by shouting."
"But she's so cute, Aoba~"
Zhu Lan's words made Qing Yu's face turn slightly red.
After all, he had acted on impulse just now, feeling that Yukishi was watching him, which is why he made a slightly childish move.
However, before he could explain, his gaze suddenly froze for a moment as he looked at the lake, then he immediately looked up, becoming even more confident.
"Don't laugh yet, this trick of mine is actually quite effective!"
"You won't believe me, just look."
Just like Zhu Lan before, Qing Yu pointed to the lake.
His knowing expression aroused Zhu Lan's curiosity, so she turned to look at the lake.
Then, Zhu Lan was also stunned.
Not far from the lake, which was originally perfectly calm with only occasional ripples from a gentle breeze, countless bubbles formed from air began to rise and surge upwards.
Then, under the different gazes of Qingyu and Zhulan, a yellow and blue figure suddenly leaped out of the water and quickly floated in front of the two of them.
