"The beach, the sea breeze...oh yeah!"

After ending the boring and frustrating life on the sea, Link, who stepped on land again, felt refreshed. He was so excited that people on the beach once suspected that Link was taking drugs.

Without time to enjoy a hot spring package on Honglian Island to wash off the dust of these days, Link directly found the Honglian Research Institute located halfway up the mountain on Honglian Island according to the instructions in advance.

Honglian Island is a volcanic island, so the island has rich geothermal resources, which has derived hot spring hotels for martial artists, and is also the most famous hot spring travel destination in the entire Kanto.

Of course, Honglian Island has not erupted for a hundred years. Although it is a rare active volcano in Kanto, it has been stable for a long time, so experts even assert that there will be no volcanic activity in the next fifty years. The vigorous development of hot spring tourism has driven the economy of the entire Honglian Island and also changed the overall atmosphere on the island.

What is Honglian Island like?

Link can fully imagine it from the records on the Pokémon Research Network. Not to mention fifty years ago, even just twenty years ago, because there was no hot spring development, let alone tourism, the most famous thing about the entire Honglian Island was the volcanic rock bath mud on the island.

"……"

Looking at the former Red Lotus Research Institute, which was almost like a haunted house, Link wondered for a moment whether he had come to the wrong place.

After finally finding a place, Link was dumbfounded when he asked about it.

"Red Lotus Research Institute? Oh, you mean the haunted building halfway up the mountain? No way! As early as 7 years ago, it seemed that people kept leaving due to lack of research funds, and then 3 years ago, this place completely became a haunted building!"

"What? You said this is a research institute funded by the Pokémon League? Alas, who told you that a research institute funded by the Pokémon League will not go bankrupt? These guys in the research institute are just thinking of something. Even if they have 10 times the funding, it is still not enough for them to spend.……"

"Hmm? You're asking...

Xia Bo? The owner of the Red Lotus Gym? He stopped running a gym a long time ago.

I heard that he and the research institute closed down almost at the same time.

It seems that few people can see him now...

Hot spring hotels? I remember there are a lot of them.

The places close to the crater have the best hot springs.

But now is not the peak tourist season, so it shouldn't be difficult to find them!

"Unable to find the Red Lotus Research Institute, Link could only find Xia Bo by all means.

After all, he was once an important person in charge of the Red Lotus Research Institute.

Most of the hot spring hotels on

Red Lotus Island are run as family-run B&Bs. Link didn't beat around the bush and asked Xia Bo directly when he entered one. It's not known whether Xia Bo is talking to everyone, or whether Xia Bo is really notorious on Red Lotus Island. After asking along the way, everyone was hesitant and said a lot of useless things. The main topic was not mentioned at all.

Until Link visited the 37th one, he finally found the boss who wore an orange wig and liked to tell riddles behind the counter.

"……I said Xia Bo, I came to play guessing game with you! Hello, I am X-man, I originally wanted to borrow the fossil resurrection device from the island research institute... Xia Bo, you should be able to help me!"

Xia Bo, who was originally dressed as a fancy uncle, heard Link's address to him and realized that his disguise had been exposed. He immediately took off his wig and put on his iconic sunglasses.

"Doctor X? No, he is so young and promising... What a pity, you came to the wrong place. The Red Lotus Research Institute you are looking for was completely disbanded three years ago!"

Xia Bo sighed and looked up at the research institute that had become a ghost building."No matter how enthusiastic the research enthusiasm is, it can't resist the power of capital.……"

Listening to Xia Bo's ambiguous tone, Link felt that the dissolution of the former Red Lotus Research Institute might hide some secrets unknown to ordinary people.

"Xia Bo, I would like to hear the details!"

"Hehe... It's better not to mention such things, it's better not to mention them!" Perhaps because it was not a very pleasant experience, Xia Bo did not want to bring up the past and deliberately passed it over.

Link was not the kind of person who would press on step by step. Since Xia Bo was unwilling to mention it, Link naturally did not want to force him.

Because of Link's arrival, Xia Bo seemed to be in a good mood. He warmly invited Link to enjoy the hot springs in his home and even prepared a rather sumptuous table of food and wine.

At the banquet, Xia Bo and Link had a very cordial and enthusiastic discussion on many academic issues about Pokémon.

Xia Bo was an expert in Pokémon genetics, and although Link did not specialize in Pokémon genetics, he had a wide range of knowledge and his research on Pokémon was even better than Xia Bo's. Therefore, Link was able to interject a few words on every topic Xia Bo talked about.

"I see...research on artificial Pokémon? This does touch upon some ethical issues, and the rules of the Pokémon League are indeed not suitable for such research...but this is definitely an innovation!"

Link did not directly deny the potential of artificial Pokémon.

On the contrary, he knew better than anyone that artificial creation did not mean losing to naturally evolved Pokémon.

"How many species of Pokémon are there in the world now? 200? 30? No, the number is far more than that.

Countless new Pokémon have been witnessed and summarized by humans.

As far as I know, there are more than 800 known species of Pokémon, and they are still increasing at a very alarming rate!

In this regard, artificial Pokémon is another way to enrich the diversity of Pokémon.

Artificial Pokémon such as 3D Dragon comes from the laboratory.

……"

Xia Bo seemed to have found resonance with Link. The two had a great conversation at dinner, and it was already midnight when Link returned to the room.

Link, who was lying in the bedroom, suddenly seemed to feel something, and suddenly stood by the window and looked downstairs.

With the help of the street lights, a bald man walked out. It was the owner of the hotel - Xia Bo.

"Are you still going out so late?"

Xia Bo's unusual behavior naturally aroused Link's curiosity. He didn't think that Xia Bo wanted to go out for a night walk. His eyes swept over Xia Bo's hand and saw a heavy bag, which was obviously filled with a lot of things.

Curious Link used Shadow Escape to follow Xia Bo.

After going around a few streets, Link found that Xia Bo came to the abandoned Red Lotus Research Institute.
