He knows Pokémon better than me.

The same applies to other regional Pokémon forms.

For example, to evolve into Alolan Raichu, you must frequently take it to a tropical beach to practice surfing while it is still a Pikachu.

To evolve into the Emerald-like Decidueye, it needs to practice various fighting techniques from the Winged Wing stage.

Especially during evolution, it is best to provide an energy source with the corresponding attribute to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Regional differences in morphology have not yet been fully realized in all regions, so this is considered cutting-edge information.

"I see."

The two newcomers nodded repeatedly, amazed; this was knowledge completely absent from textbooks.

Just then, Ash returned from delivering Serperior and stood next to Mimi, explaining his Pokémon:
"As for my Serpent Lord, its trait is 'Contrarian,' not the mainstream 'Rampage.'"

"It's lush."

Mingyi raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but correct her earnestly.

Xiao Zhi pursed his lips, "A small problem."
There are various translations from other places, but in their Zhenxin Town, they all uniformly refer to it as "fierce fire, fierce water, fierce *"!
"The Contrarian trait can reverse one's own abilities, and when combined with specific moves, it can become extremely powerful."

Mingyi added:
"However, the starter Pokémon provided by our research institute are basically all of the first ability. If you want to change them to hidden abilities, you will need to find ability patches to change them yourself later."

It's not just the Yew Research Institute; all research institutes around the world are the same. The initial three starter Pokémon all have basic characteristics.

As for the special ointment, it is a rare and valuable item even in the Galar region, let alone in other places, so it is quite difficult to obtain.

After clarifying both matters, Mingyi, supporting her slender waist, smiled and said:

"Choose your starter Pokémon!"

Sometime during the night, she had put her white coat back on, and Ash, watching from the side, really looked like a Pokémon professor.

The two Unova newcomers sized up the two Pokémon with very different styles in front of them.

Achieving the same level of success as Ash and Nami is no easy feat.
However, as a united group, their pioneering and exploration abilities are undeniable, and both have chosen to face the challenges head-on.

Of course, Mega Emboar is also quite difficult!
Obtaining the "Key Stone" and the "Emperor of Flame" is undoubtedly much more difficult than the previous two things!
Ultimately, the blue-haired boy chose the otter, perhaps because of the similar hair color?

"Then I'll choose Snivy~"

Kayla, the girl in the short skirt, chose the aloof Snivy, but seeing the scrutinizing look in the latter's eyes, she felt uneasy.

They should be able to get along well, right? I think I've heard news that Snivy will abandon its trainer and run away.
After expressing their gratitude, the newlyweds left with their respective Pokémon.

One of them planned to follow the classic path of "challenging gyms - league tournament".

The other person simply pulled out their phone and started searching for nearby World Championship opponents.

Even outside of Galar, the World Championships are still incredibly popular.

The research institute quickly fell silent, leaving only Xiaozhi and Mingyi in the entire hall.

Mingyi couldn't help but let out a long sigh:

"Finally solved!"

She took off her white coat and casually draped it over the chair next to her, then stretched out her arms and legs.

She's currently the only one in the research institute. Besides her daily work, she also has to organize her research materials for her upcoming doctoral studies. She's incredibly busy!
I wonder if Dr. Yew's open course will be postponed and I hope he can come back soon!

Ash originally only planned to visit his old friend briefly before returning to the Galar region.

After all this trouble—

Ash had been delayed for several hours this morning by Magearna, and had just finished a battle. Looking at Pikachu and Victini playing around nearby, Ash pouted, then simply sat down on the sofa and leaned back.

After thinking for a moment, he simply waved his hand:

"Never mind, I'll go back tomorrow then."

His tone was casual, but Mingyi was standing right next to him, and upon hearing this, the corners of her mouth immediately curved slightly.

"Then why don't you stay at our research institute tonight? There are plenty of empty rooms here."

She hummed a little tune, and her tone became more "casual".

During their casual conversation, the two naturally started talking about the World Championship that Ash was currently participating in.

"Besides Alice, our Unova side also has Mr. Takeshi and Ms. Cattleya participating this year!"

Mingyi suddenly remembered something and reminded her.

"Oh, are these the two people?"

When Xiao Zhi heard the name, he sat up a little straighter.

Lian Wu is a top-tier player in the league specializing in combat, with an exceptionally robust and muscular physique, much like a master craftsman.

Caldelia is an Elite Four member who excels in psychic abilities and can use her unique psychic powers to assist in battle.

He is also currently the most powerful Elite Four member in the Unova region!
"Now everyone is pinning their hopes on her."

Mingyi held up her finger and explained.

After all, he's a long-established superstar with special abilities to aid him; his strength and achievements speak for themselves.
Back then, she even went toe-to-toe with Cynthia, the Sinnoh champion!

In contrast, Alice had only recently taken over as champion, and the news hadn't even fully spread yet.

They haven't shown any amazing achievements in front of the public, and for the time being, no one cares about them.

"Miss Catharia"

Xiao Zhi sighed, and an elegant and beautiful woman, but often expressionless, immediately came to mind.

They're old acquaintances.

Ash stroked his chin. He knew that Iris's strength was still improving rapidly, and no one knew what kind of performance she would show in the future.

In addition, there are Mr. Lian Wu and Miss Cattleya who are there to cover the losses.

"So, it seems your Unova side's lineup is just as strong~"

Mingyi smiled and agreed. If she didn't have to prepare for the upcoming study tour, she would have rolled up her sleeves and joined in to see how well she could play.

Ash silently calculated in his mind that he would likely encounter these people one after another in his upcoming Advanced Ball-level matches.

However, the two did not chat for very long.

After all, a research institute is not a coffee shop. Mingyi glanced at the clock on the wall and had no choice but to get up and put her work clothes back on.

"Sorry, Ash, I have to go do some work. Feeding the Pokémon, watering the herbs in the greenhouse, and all that~"

She's currently the only one at the research institute, and her schedule is packed.

I also need to organize the research papers, so I don't have time to go explore Deer Town with Ash tonight!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi also stood up and immediately said:

"You want to feed Pokémon? Then leave that job to me." (End of Chapter)
