Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 440 Ancient Pokémon Research Institute (35)

"You two, I know you are very happy now. My question may be a bit disappointing, but may I ask a question?"

After the two researchers calmed down a bit, they changed rooms, and Lai asked them about his hidden worries.

Neither the funds nor the strength are sufficient for these two passionate researchers.

The two people who once enjoyed extremely high salaries in Devon were almost in a state of emptiness after leaving their jobs. Even this research institute was built with help from friends. Most laboratories cannot afford to purchase it. new device.

In terms of strength, Zhuxing is considered to be acceptable. He has a gym-level Dou Li Mushroom and a Mongoose Slash that is close to the gym level, but that's about it.

Anu is a pure scholar, and several Pokémon have almost no fighting power.

Listening to Lai's question after question, the joy in their hearts was also diluted by the lingering worries.

To be fair, this island's only barrier to powerful Pokémon hunters and evil organizations is the powerful natural magnetic field, but it can only be controlled for a while. If you get closer, you can still find it.

Feeling the anxiety of the two people who regarded them as parents, Tentacle Lily ran back and forth anxiously, waving its tentacles repeatedly to show that she was very powerful and could protect them.

After sitting for a while, the restless Anu realized it, got up and went out to make coffee. Tentacle Lily also went with her. Only Lai, Naki, Zhuxing, and those who didn't want to go back to the Poké Ball were left in the room. Natural bird.

Zhu Xing spoke sincerely: "Lai, Naqi, let me call you two directly. Although I rarely fight, I can see at a glance that you are both outstanding trainers. Do you have any suggestions?"

"To be honest, I just thought about this problem. I don't have any particularly mature ideas. I can only say a few ideas." Lai pondered for a moment and listed his thoughts one by one.

It is true that Wilds Island is located away from the main waterway, but it is not far from Izabe Island, which is an important town on the waterway between Green Ridge and Liuli.

Under normal circumstances, ships will not come here unless they are people who know in advance that such an island exists, such as Lai.But even if Lai was able to cross the magnetic field and come here, there was some element of luck.

But the problem is that it is definitely not the Zhuxing couple who know this place. Their friends and some experienced explorers have more or less impressions of it.

It was not important here before because apart from the ecology, there was almost nothing worth noting. The natural magnetic field was almost useless for the training of people and Pokémon and could only block some information.

If it is known by evil organizations such as the Water Fleet and the Lava Fleet, it is not ruled out that they will use it as a secret base.

If it comes to that, with the strength of the Zhuxing couple, it will be difficult to resist potential Pokémon hunters with only fossil Pokémon such as Tentacle Lily and Ancient Featherworm, even if their evolved forms are taken into account.There must be no resistance, and he may even lose his life because of it.

Focusing on these issues, Lai’s suggestions can only be developed from several aspects:

The first point is of course to find ways to strengthen the natural magnetic field here and enhance the island's concealment.In this regard, natural birds may be able to help, but this objective condition will only be the icing on the cake, and it is difficult to provide help in times of need.

The second and third points are naturally to improve defense capabilities and increase funding sources.For such a research institution with a remote location, weak strength, and lack of profit-making means, these two points may be almost impossible.

The research and resurrection of fossil Pokémon is a gold-swallowing beast. Just to resurrect an ancient feather insect, the investment before and after is no less than 300 million alliance coins. This is why Devin is eager to cash in and is unwilling to invest in projects with insufficient vitality. of fossils.

It is precisely because of this that these two talented researchers have been in a relatively difficult situation. Just raising a group of fossil Pokémon is already stretched.

From his words, Zhuxing could also feel Lai's entanglement. He had seen this state in many of his friends.At this time, Anu returned with the brewed coffee and handed it to the three of them.Zhuhoshi, who knew that he could not force anything, took the coffee and spoke to Lai to save him:
"If natural birds can help us find the source of the magnetic field here and strengthen it, that would be great. As for the others, we will find a way."

"Strengthening the magnetic field must be done, Natural Bird. Go take a look and check it tomorrow." Lai glanced at Natural Bird who was a little absent-minded next to him and ordered.

[I know, listen. 】It was still a little impatient and glanced sideways.

"As for defense and funds," Lai's voice hesitated, "I have an immature idea, I wonder if the two of you are interested?"

"But it doesn't matter. The two of us have been working here for a while, and we have already thought about many things." Zhu Xing put down his coffee cup and spoke calmly.

"How about using Wilds Island as an overseas study and research base for our trainer school, as well as a nature reserve?"

When these words came out, not only Zhuxing and Anu were a little surprised, but Naqi was also quite surprised.

This was a solution that suddenly came to Len during the conversation.

Although it is not close to the South China Sea Islands, if you start from Tianshui Island, take a flight to Liuli City and then transfer to a boat, you can reach Izabe Island within three days.

Ancient ecology and fossil Pokémon are also very useful for students to increase their knowledge.

Thinking of this, he slowly explained to the three of them:
"We have a trainer school in the South China Sea Islands. If you agree, we can cooperate to conduct research and study here. In the battle academy in the battle development zone, trainers will be arranged to study and be on duty here to provide support for the research institute and Weiwei. Erz Island provides security.”

Naqi asked: "You mean, the resident trainer of the Battle Academy comes here for a shift?"

"Not only Yusaku and the others from the Battle Academy, but also the teachers and students of the school. This is a God-given treasure land. There may not be an area with such a unique natural ecology in the entire Fengyuan. Dr. Zhuxing, what do you think?" Lai nodded and looked at Zhu Xing and Anu.

Zhuxing said in a serious tone: "You have helped us. With your strength, our little possessions are not worth much, so I can trust you, but I have a few requirements."

"Please speak." Lai nodded slightly, motioning for the other party to continue.

"First, our research is autonomous and non-utilitarian. This is why my husband and I resigned from Devon. Of course, funding is okay, and status is okay, but we need to be fully independent, whether it is you, the school, or elsewhere. , cannot interfere with our research, and cannot forcefully assign scientific research tasks."

"That's no problem. But if there are good talents in the school who are suitable for this field, we need you two to train them for us, how about that?"

"Yes. Secondly, whether students or others, when they come to Wilds Island, they must not damage the ecology here, and they must cooperate with us in maintaining the environment here."

"I agree. But if students or other trainers like the Pokémon here, they should be allowed to conquer them."

"Agree. Third, this is a question. Our research expenditure here may be relatively high. I wonder how much your funds can provide?"

"What are your approximate expenses?"

"The monthly average is 400 million alliance coins. This is the expenditure for the two of us. As the scale expands and new people join, it may be higher, and much higher. After all, several floors of this research institute are still empty."

"We need to discuss this expenditure, but I think there is no problem. I will discuss it with the chairman of the school later. After the magnetic field is perfected tomorrow, we can discuss it again, how about it?"

"Okay, then the two of you will stay here tonight?"

"Thank you very much, sorry for bothering you two."
