Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

Jingle bell bell~

Jingle bell bell~

The two of them rang the video doorbell together.

Click! Someone quickly picked up the doorbell.

"It's rare to have guests at this time..."

Wang Yao felt a familiar voice coming from the other end of the microphone.

"Oh? Are you?"

A middle-aged square face that was kind yet a little old-fashioned appeared in the picture, but the expression on his face was a little confused.

"Professor Oak! I've heard a lot about you... I'm Baka, the master of the Dark Gray Gym!"

After all, Xiaogang's identity is somewhat related to the official alliance...so it is most appropriate for him to speak.

"This is Yao, our Pokémon was injured in the battle... I hope you can help us!"

"Dr. Oak! Please help us!"

When Professor Oak heard that the two came to him because their Pokémon were injured, his attitude was very earnest.

"In that case... then come in quickly!"

With a click, the electronic door lock was unlocked, and the two walked along the trail to the research institute above.

……

"Fortunately, you handled it in time... The big-billed gull is not in any danger of life at the moment."

After Professor Oak checked the vital signs of the gull, he temporarily placed it in the Pokémon hibernation chamber in the research institute.

"But when the burns on its body were being treated, the burnt feathers were shaved off... It has to wait until the feathers have grown back before it can fly again."

"I think it will take at least one or two months..."

Professor Oak assessed with a frown.

Professor Oak performed basic physical examinations on Wang Yao and Xiaogang's Pokémon. Although the treatment was not as efficient as the Pokémon Center's Chansey, the institute had a complete range of relevant equipment and treatment potions.

"It doesn't matter. As long as the big-billed gull is okay, I'm glad."

Wang Yao watched the toucan's breathing gradually stabilize and thanked Professor Oak with great gratitude.

"Thank you so much!"

"Nothing... As a Pokémon researcher, it's my duty to help injured Pokémon."

Professor Oak waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"By the way... I found your big steel snake, Ayao, very interesting. The alloy composition on its body surface seems to be different."

"Could it be that guy is..."

Professor Oak is always very enthusiastic about researching special types of Pokémon.

"That's right - this is the Steelix I captured in the wild. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a natural evolution!"

Wang Yao did not hide this.

In fact, he and Brock released all the Pokémon injured in the battle and healed them.

However, regarding the situation of Lava Steelix, the two of them kept it a secret tacitly...

As for the wild evolved Steelix... although it is rare, records of its capture can still be found.

"Oh! That's really rare!"

Professor Oak looked surprised. He was just guessing. After all, there are many ways to make Steelix's alloy body look different.

The simplest way is [氪金]!

By feeding it a large amount of rare minerals, it is actually possible to slowly strengthen Steelix's metal surface, but considering Steelix's size... this is definitely not something an ordinary person can do.

And Wang Yao's giant steel snake is almost twice the size of an ordinary giant steel snake... and the cost required is astronomical!

In addition, you can also use additional [plating] to strengthen the surface alloy of Steel Snake! By using technological means to plate a layer of high-strength alloy on the surface of Steel Snake, you can also strengthen the defense of Steel Snake.

However, this kind of plating is easy to fall off in battle and requires regular maintenance. Moreover, if you blindly pursue strengthening, too thick a plating will make Steelix inconvenient to move, and the construction requires very professional operating techniques.

"If only I could study it! Oh - Ayao! What do you think?"

Dr. Oak suddenly came over with a smile, put his arm around Wang Yao's shoulders, and spoke in a very earnest tone.

"Please lend me your Steelix for some research! "A study on the differences between Steelix evolved in the wild and Steelix evolved by technology" - this report will surely shock the academic community when it is written!"

Seeing the serious Professor Oak suddenly turn into a shameless old naughty boy, Xiaogang's jaw almost dropped to the ground!

"Um...this..."

A drop of cold sweat dripped down Wang Yao's forehead.

How would you describe his current mood?

Good news: Professor Oak’s image and personality really match those in the animation!

Bad news: the degree of restoration is a bit too high!

"If it's just for the time being... I'm not..."

Wang Yao hesitated before speaking. After all, the other party had just helped treat the toucan, so he still had to repay the favor.

"Ah! That's great! I'll go find someone to borrow another Steelix!"

"Hello! I'm Oki, please help me contact the Asagi Gym..."

After getting the approval of the trainer, Professor Oak quickly let go of Wang Yao, and then flashed to appear next to the phone.

"This... this is Professor Oak? The authority in Pokémon research in the Kanto region?"

Xiaogang felt that he had suffered too much shocking news today.

“Not only that!”

Wang Yao raised a finger and shook his head at Xiaogang.

"He is also the master of the Pokémon Kawayu world."

Wang Yao reminded.

“No need to add more to this!”

Xiaogang often sees Professor Oak using the Pokémon Senryu as his closing remarks on TV.

"Where did the so-called master of this kind of doggerel come from..."

Senryu is actually a simple rhyming sentence with very free subject matter and sentence structure, which is at the level that even a three-year-old child can do.

"——I think I heard you guys talking about Senryu!?"

After finishing the call, Dr. Oak reappeared in front of Wang Yao and Xiao Gang.

"That's great. Then I'll also give you some ideas for Steelix's differentiation research!"

"Hmm... 'All made of steel - a giant steel snake as hard as steel!'"

Professor Oak thought for a few seconds and demonstrated on the spot how to become Kawaseong in zero steps!

"How is it? Very good, right?"

Professor Oak narrowed his eyes, obviously very satisfied with this work.

"very good!"

Wang Yao cheered enthusiastically.

"Uh... hehe! I think it's pretty good!"

Xiaogang echoed with some embarrassment.

"Come to think of it - your giant Onix is ​​also worth studying!"

Professor Oak had been concentrating on Wang Yao's wild Steelix and hadn't thought about Brock's Pokémon for a while.

"Doctor... I just..."

Xiaogang's Onix is ​​a birthday present for Jiro, so it must be delivered on time.

"...I'll wait until I finish my research on Steelix before I work on your project on making Onix gigantic."

Fortunately, Professor Oak’s energy is limited, so he lets Xiaogang go for the time being.

"Phew! That's good."

Xiao Gang breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Jiro's eighth birthday would be in half a month...

After sending Onix away, if Professor Oak still remembers this matter... let Jiro worry about it then.

Anyway, as long as I can send Onix off on my birthday, my mission as a brother... will be accomplished!
