Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 636 Galar's Treasure: The Scottish Girl with the Green Hat

Following the riot of Dynamax Pokémon and the end of the "live broadcast failure" incident broadcast by Royal Club.

The most prosperous cities in the Galar region have all come to a standstill, and people have gathered in places without energy points. Meanwhile, the Galar League has dispatched elite countermeasure teams and summoned powerful trainers to suppress the giant Pokémon rioting in various places.

Led by Leon, the trainers won one victory after another, and the gigantic Pokémon were gradually defeated. Although the energy points in the north were still very active, the energy points in the central and southern regions had calmed down.

"The activity of the Galerite has become extremely high, from an energy development perspective. The Galerite has indeed been given a new lease on life."

In Mugan Town, Dr. Mulan was reviewing investigation reports from various cities and wilderness areas, while the institute's detection machine was constantly monitoring the changes in the particles.

Similar machines and institutions exist in various regions. In the Hoenn region, there is the Weather Institute, and in the Unova region, there is the Season Institute. The Galar Particle Detection Instrument uses monitoring technology similar to these institutions.

"The light of the snowfield was once taken away by the alien god, but it was quickly returned. Therefore, after losing the surging [Particle Beams], the number of Dynamax Pokémon will decrease, which is consistent with previous investigations."

"Those are the dens, Grandma? The entrances to Pokémon dens that appear in various regions. Some are on flat ground, some are in hills, and some are hidden on mountain walls and under lakes. These dens are scattered throughout Galar. Throwing a Wishing Star into one will cause a Dynamax Pokémon to appear. Before it appears, there will be a beam of light."

At Dr. Mulan's research institute, everyone gathered. Before heading to the energy plant, Soni was to summarize all the findings of her investigation and send them to Dr. Mulan.

Dr. Mulan nodded as she listened to Sonia's report:
"That's right. In the past, these wild Dynamax Pokémon, especially those that appeared in dens, were very strong. It would take at least four trainers of considerable skill working together to defeat them; four was the minimum requirement for a battle."

Dr. Mulan rubbed her temples behind her glasses:

"In other words, for the next period of time, there will be Dynamax Raids happening all over Galar."

Cai Dou: "This will definitely have an impact on people's lives and travel. Therefore, cities without energy points will probably see a wave of revival. There will also be more people who are afraid of becoming gigantic, and urban migration will become more frequent."

"However, what changes will occur in the cities where the arena is located? Without the support of large ticket sales from local audiences, the cost of maintaining the venue will increase for the company, and people may also become less inclined to use Dynamax as a result."

Marie: "Regardless, normal Pokémon battles will definitely come into people's view, and there will probably be more regular tournaments in the future."

"Young heroes who have made great strides on the snowy plains, brave warriors who have been knighted."

Dr. Mulan smiled: "Don't worry, the Galar people will not be easily defeated. The legend of the King of Men proves this point. This land is an ideal place. Most of the legends have been explained. The true monarchs and knights of the Crown Snowfield are on the other side of the mountains. Isn't that romantic?"

"It stirred my blood, an old man, to feel the passion for dedicating myself to the future of Galar, like the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the snow."

"Sonia, you did a great job this time."

Sonia: "Actually, aside from what I got from Mr. Lightmoy, the analysis was also largely thanks to the information transmitted by Dr. Barnet, and also because she invited me."

Sonia paused mid-sentence, glancing at Lightmoth sitting at the research institute's table: "Oh, right, I haven't asked you yet! You're actually the deputy director of the Space Research Institute?!"

"But you said you clearly don't have a doctoral degree!"

Guangtai: "Well, that just means I'm not a professional."

Sonia: "If you're not professional, then there's really no one who's professional."

“No, that’s how people of ancient times were.” Dr. Mulan chuckled. “Such peoples exist in different places, and they know all sorts of legends and stories. In fact, we don’t need to place too much importance on things like doctoral degrees.”

"Human history in modern times, with Galar as the origin of industry, is only about 200 years old. In the far past, there were magicians, sorcerers, people who used magical arts, Pokémon trainers, authorities on mysterious science, and alchemists."

"And who will issue certificates or anything like that to these people?"

"People who inherit ancient myths will appear when the world faces intractable problems. There are such people in Carlos across the sea, such as the race that guards the Tower of Refinement."

"That's why I say that mythology studies are the most valuable, yet also the least valuable. To understand mythology and history, one needs extensive in-depth research and investigation, and even to confront celestial calamities."

"Sonia, have you realized where the problem lay in the past research not going well?"

"Ugh, I got criticized again." Sonia shrugged, giving everyone a helpless look.

Dr. Mulan then looked at Hop: "...Dan Di's brother, this incident happened by chance for you, but you also played a significant role."

"Although it still lacks strength, its future is indeed promising."

Hep covered his head with his hands, a little embarrassed: "Oh, I'm really feeling excited, and I've already... cough cough... anyway, I'm planning to ask my older brother for a letter of recommendation."

"I want to become a gym challenger! These things will be the starting point of my legendary history!"

"Ahem. That's right, a witness to legend! Mr. Lightmoth also said that there are witnesses among the legendary knights. In any case, the Lady Crown King has knighted me."

Hop's words were meant to lighten the mood. Of course, young people who had witnessed great things were indeed prone to the urge to go out. Especially Hop, after he realized how to use Woolbraids and experienced high-level combat, the petty squash of Circular Bump was no longer worth his attention.

Ugh, seeing newbie kids battling on the roadside is so boring. It makes me think about how I used to be on the same level as those kids, bumping into each other every day and laughing like an idiot. Even if it was just a way of not forgetting my original intention, you can't be so straightforward when you're bumping into each other!
Crashing also requires a lot of skill and timing!

Dr. Mulan: "Speaking of which, I also saw this part in your resume."

"You're still the deputy director of the Dream Research Institute. The director is an assistant at the Makomo Yew Research Institute, a field investigator at the Yamanashi Research Institute in Masago Town, and the deputy director of the Zero Zone Research Institute? And, you're a high-ranking executive at Devon Corporation, and you also have employment records at Blueberry Academy and Padia University?"

"Well, Blueberry Academy is just a higher education institution under construction, but Padia Academy is a premier university with an 800-year history."

Guangtai coughed lightly: "Well, to be honest, although I have a resume as a teacher at Orange Academy, that's probably just something our guild leader put in my file. As for what I've taught, I only eliminated a dozen or so candidates in the annual alliance assessment."

"That shouldn't be considered teaching. The school offers practical training courses, but those aren't my responsibility."

"However, I have indeed been working diligently at the Dream Research Institute."

By the way, Dr. Yew has given himself a formal assistant position, and Dr. Yamanashi has also given him the title of researcher.
What is the deputy director of the Zero Zone Research Institute? What does Aolin AI do?

"How did these people end up giving me so many titles without my knowledge? Ah, is it because of that joint publication thing we talked about before?"

"It seems that Zhu Lan is nominally a researcher under Dr. Yamanashi, and she used to be his assistant. Although she is now an independent mythologist, she does not have her own research institute. She conducts her research in her hometown and at Cattleya's villa."

In terms of the scale of the research institutes, Professor Yew's institute is inherited from the old Professor Yew, while Professor Yamanashi's institute, although it was not long ago re-established in the Sinnoh region, is a very prestigious institute because Professor Yamanashi is a super senior researcher. Therefore, it is a great achievement to become a researcher in his institute.

At the Space Research Institute and the Dream Research Institute, although my position is deputy director, then again, these two institutes, including the doctoral students and myself...
For example, Makomo's research institute currently only has three people: she is the director, and she and Matsuru are the two deputy directors.

There isn't a single employee!

Director Makomo sleeps and dreams all day, while the deputy director himself runs around aimlessly. Only Matsuru is working overtime, but Matsuru is not even 9 years old. She's practically a newborn who's been working overtime, making her even worse off than Aoki.

Dr. Barnett's side, even if they have assigned researchers, apart from the novices recruited on the street, the rest are probably all Ether's people. So, does your research institute really have its own people?
The same goes for Zone Zero Research Institute; only Orin AI exists there, everyone else has either run away or died. The remaining researchers are all in Ye Ci's hands; you can't exactly say that Pipa is also a researcher, can you?

Lightmoss pondered this.

Dr. Mulan: "As a trainer, my qualities go without saying, and as an educator, I also have remarkable abilities. Although the assessment is not a formal course, practical teaching is still teaching, so you're mistaken."

"If you go to this conference, no matter what, if you can publish an important paper, a doctoral degree will be within your grasp. As a descendant of an ancient people and a high-ranking member of both alliances, if you have such thoughts, it will also benefit the two alliances you belong to."

“The region’s research strength determines its development. As an independent researcher, if you have made significant academic achievements, you will become a highly sought-after figure, just like the space research institute where you work.”

"Therefore, this incident relates to the authorship of the paper."

“Yes, yes! Dr. Barnett also said we can co-author our names!” Sonia raised her hands excitedly. “You probably don’t have any plans yet, so let’s co-author our names! We can stay in Galar for a few more days, and then we can go to the Sinnoh region together!”

"That..." Guangtai paused for a moment, and Sonia's heart skipped a beat: "This reaction... could it really be a date?"

"Oh dear, traveling between various research institutes must be quite tiring," Dr. Mulan chuckled. "With this reaction, I'm actually looking forward to this meeting."

"It would be interesting if we saw your name listed as an author on every academic paper published."

"Should we also research Dynamax? Sonia isn't interested in that stuff, even though I've always hoped she'd take over my job, but..."

"Grandma! I didn't say I wouldn't do research! Don't just give away your research topic!" Sonia was speechless. "You have to let me do some research, right?"

"Speaking of which, now that the Galar mythology has been fully explained, there's nothing left to study. I'm thinking of writing a book, but what should I do after I finish it? I can't just use the knights selected every year to fill space."

“Studying humans, huh?” Dr. Mulan’s eyes suddenly sharpened. “According to rumors, there seems to be such an argument this year. You should keep an eye out for it.”

"Because it's so hyped up, I'm actually quite looking forward to it."

Sonia was stunned.

what?
Dr. Mulan added in passing:

"Regarding Dr. Barnett, although it's a new research institution, would you like to give it a try?"

Dr. Mulan: "So, at this conference, I'll take the opportunity to suggest that you go there for further studies in a while. The experience of working as an assistant in different research institutes will be beneficial for your future development in the research community and when you establish your own institute."

"A young PhD who can be hired by a giant corporation is no ordinary person. Regarding research on [space], Dr. Barnett seems to be the number one in the industry."

"If you want to research topics, I can give you some more, about Max Raid Battles, Mysterious Barriers, and Dens."

"In any case, Galar also has dangerous areas related to space, and we must be vigilant about that. After studying at the Space Research Institute, there are still many unsolved mysteries about the snowfields and even the [Nests] in Galar itself."

"Is the area that the nest leads to underground in Galar, or another space? You said that there is a huge cavity under the snowy mountains. From a geological point of view, that kind of structure is beyond imagination. If it can accommodate dozens of Dynamax Pokémon to fight, it can no longer be considered a completely underground cave."

Dr. Mulan sensed a shift in the future winds, but even so...
In the past, Dynamax Pokémon would occasionally spawn randomly, but people had never witnessed such a massive disaster.

However, this has allowed trainers who can control Dynamax and those with formidable strength to emerge, so from the perspective of a bloodthirsty viewer, Galar society will likely become more complex in the future.

Enjoying watching giant Pokémon battle in the arena doesn't conflict with disliking giant wild monsters; in fact, it might even inspire more people to become Pokémon trainers.

However, some people, even more frightened, will leave Galar altogether and head to other, safer lands.
"A true scholar must endure all sorts of dangers to gather invaluable firsthand data. Based solely on this experience and the written findings, she has unraveled all the legends of the Dark Night, the Slumbering Forest, the King of Men, and the King of the Snowfield. Sonia."

"After the academic conference, you will be able to become the real Dr. Sonia."

It only paused for a moment.

What followed was an excited, incoherent voice!
"Really?! I can become a PhD?! Thank you, Grandma!"

Sonia was so excited that she burst into tears!

Dr. Mulan sighed, "Oh, alright, alright, I know you're very excited. Don't cry!"

She glanced out the window; many people were leaving Mugan Town.

Dr. Mulan: "People are going back. Those who came here from Hualang Town to take refuge, and those who came back from outside but couldn't go home, are starting to go back one after another."

Marie: "Because the remote control of the Forest of Slumber was destroyed, and there were no original energy points or nests in the forest to begin with, after Hisoka and his partner disappeared and the remote control was completely destroyed, no Pokémon have ever come out from beyond the forest."

Dr. Mulan nodded: "Little girl from Spiketown, you also have to thank yourself. Together with Rainbow Bean, Hop, Lightmoy, and Sonia, you thwarted the remote control and maintained peace in the hero's hometown."

"However, this commotion really frightened the residents of Hualang Town and Mugan Town. Fortunately, that kind taxi driver helped them."

"Beyond the mountains lies the Crown Temple, the town of Hualang and the town of Mugan. They might actually see an increase in population there in the future. By the way, some families were planning to move there, but due to traffic congestion and other well-known reasons, it's been delayed until now."

"The Steelraven taxis are back in operation, and the Hooligan Moving Company has reopened. Those two families should be moving there soon."

"I saw it here just a few days ago."

Dr. Mulan, recalling something from the past, suddenly said to Guangtai:
"In your work resume, I saw the section on the investigation and analysis of egg groups. I think it was written by your chairman. Although you don't have any work experience at the Elf Labs, you seem to have extraordinary insights and research on Pokémon eggs, just like Professor Elf."

"Is it because eggs are of great significance to Pokémon in remote regions? I've heard that some ancient cultures cultivated eggs for specific Pokémon, and modern egg research initially drew inspiration from their methods."

"The tower in the Carlos region is still the same one, the one specifically for breeding Lucario."

Lightmoy: "So, the study of the egg population in the Galar region hasn't been going on for very long?"

Professor Mulan smiled: "Of course, after all, some Pokémon can only be bred on a large scale after the egg groups are deciphered. Eggs are truly amazing things; it's said that no one has ever seen the moment an egg is hatched." "Isn't it the same in other regions, not just Galar?"

"Catching wild Pokémon and becoming their companions is a completely different thing from raising Pokémon from eggs."

"In the past, people suffered greatly from the harassment of wild Dynamax Pokémon. Although the history of industrialization and coexisting with Pokémon began 200 years ago, there are still people who cannot adapt and leave this place, and suffer from the disasters caused by wild Pokémon."

"Although Chairman Rose voluntarily went to prison, isn't it all thanks to him that the people of the Galar region can live in such harmony with Pokémon?"

The president's starter Pokémon was Bronze, which he caught with his younger brother Peony near a mine.

The development history of the Poké Ball is not as long as the Industrial Revolution in Galar. Even in the original spin-off novel, Dr. Nishimorino developed the Poké Ball in 1925. Dr. Laben, on the other hand, developed it 150 years ago.
Of course, similar devices to Poké Balls seem to have existed in much earlier times. Ultimately, using a "ball" to store Pokémon is simply for portability, and modern Poké Balls, which can change size, are even more convenient.

If it's simply about storing Pokémon, then the staff of the Aura Hero from 1000 years ago might also be a type of Poké Ball.

It's not just a ball; it can also keep the Pokémon inside the cane in peak physical condition without eating or drinking, maintaining its vitality until the next time it's unsealed. The cane itself is also said to last for a thousand years without breaking, which is much more powerful than modern Poké Balls.

Lightmoss: "However, I heard that the initial partners for the Galar region should have been decided by now, which will allow newcomers to grow quickly and also... Hmm? By the way, were the initial partners for the Galar region Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle before?"

Leon's initial partner is Charmander. After completing the first playthrough of Sword and Shield, the protagonist will be left with a very rare Charmander with the potential to Gigantamax. This shows that the "breeding" and "discovery" of Gigantamax Charmander was only in its early stages, even during the Sword and Shield era.

In other words, Master Ma's Max Soup is still a rare item on the Isle of Armor. Perhaps it's because Leon went to the Isle of Armor and trained there, so he and Raihan and the others know that Master Ma has the special skill of switching Pokémon between Max and Gigantamax.

Because the origin of Max Soup is actually quite a farce. It was made by Chef Ma's wife, Honey Leaf.

Moreover, it was initially done to save money.

She used mushrooms from the forest as ingredients for soup, and the Pokémon that drank it underwent Gigantamax transformation. Only then did she realize that the soup made from those mushrooms could switch to Gigantamax form. Thus, she developed an ambition to turn Gigantamax soup into an instant food and sell it all over the world.

However, this wish was far from being fulfilled during the Sword and Shield era, and since Violet was no longer a Dynamax version, it was naturally impossible for any storyline involving her to appear.

Furthermore, on the Isle of Armor, Master Ma will give the protagonist another choice between the other two starter Pokémon from Kanto, Squirtle and Bulbasaur, excluding Charmander.

Furthermore, the initial companion in the Galar region wasn't obtained from the research institute, but was given by Leon. The subsequent dialogue also seems to have nothing to do with Professor Magnolia. Hmm, that's strange. Could it be from Professor Ma's side?
After the first training session, Mr. Ma will specifically mention the relationship between Dynamax and Gigantamax, and then naturally lead into the second training session. Perhaps the potential of the Galar starter Pokémon and some other Pokémon to Gigantamax, as well as which Pokémon can Gigantamax, was actually researched by Mr. Ma, the DLC character.

As Lightmoss pondered, Dr. Mulan, noticing her confusion, offered an explanation:
"The new partners have been identified. Perhaps because the Galar region is relatively lucky, the three Pokémon selected not only have excellent compatibility but can also breed with each other. Therefore, with the research of the Maroccomon Group, the second and third batches of initial partners have been successfully bred."

"The ones you know are probably the three: Scorbunny, Grookey, and Sobble."

"Furthermore, some individuals with special powers were discovered among them, known as Gigantamax. Not only do their appearances change, but their attacks of certain types also transform into Gigantamax moves, possessing additional effects different from regular Dynamax moves."

"Leon's Charizard is one of the Pokémon with the potential to Gigantamax. It is indeed the only Charizard with the potential to Gigantamax that has appeared naturally in the past. It seems to be the only one."

Lightmoss: "I see. After all, the three starter Pokémon in the Kanto region share the same egg groups, so they can be said to be the first Pokémon that can reproduce on their own, making them a powerful Pokémon suitable for beginners."

"And the three Galar Pokémon are also rare, with three egg groups that are completely interconnected. It's really not easy to find this type."

"Flame Rabbit, on land and among people; Knocking Monkey, on land and among plants; Tearful Lizard, on land and in water, in one group."

Upon hearing this, Guangtai remembered.

The breeding house of the Marocomón Group, isn't that the big house in the open space between the bridges?

There's a newly opened small shop on Galler's No. 5 street, while the larger one is in the open space between the bridges, with employees of the Marocomón Group standing nearby. It's quite obvious who owns it.

Furthermore, all the businesses in the Galar region can be found in [Pokémon Helper], which is truly all-encompassing, with the Marocmon Group accounting for a large portion of them, after all, Chairman Rose's company name comes from "macrocosm".

In this respect, it also echoes the "ether" of the Ether Foundation.

Professor Mulan: "The reason I'm asking you this question is because I heard you say that among the rewards given by the King of the Crown Temple after selecting knights are Pokémon eggs and unique Pokémon with colors different from the norm."

“That’s a very special thing, so I’m not saying I want to directly obtain the egg that represents the king of the snowfield.”

"I've simply discovered some exceptional talent, so I'd like to entrust these two children with the task of investigating this part of the content—it's my personal recommendation? Through gym challenges, and then reaching the top. Although, given their age and strength, they shouldn't be participating in such high-intensity battles, but..."

"I don't think it's necessary to be so strict. Therefore, I not only plan to recommend them to participate in the gym challenge, but also to participate in the Snowfield Trial."

"The other day, I saw some kids who moved from other cities to the outskirts of Mugan Town. They showed amazing strength with the help of borrowed Pokémon. I think they have a bright future."

"Especially that girl wearing the green hat. She'll definitely be able to complete my request."

"A girl who moved from another city and was wearing a green hat?" Guangtai caught the key words.

Yes, because of the power outage, some people have to move!
However, it seems as if they had been planning to move here for a long time. Could it be that the combination of planning and reality led to this new event?
The treasure of Galar, the invincible Scottish girl wearing a green hat is coming?

Dr. Mulan: "Yes, that's why we need to let them gain some experience. Before entrusting anything valuable to us, I also want to clarify some things."

“Long ago, special individuals capable of Gigantamaxing appeared within [Dwellings]. Around these powerful dwellings, there often appeared Pokémon with immense power and an aura of light.”

"These Pokémon often possess many Pokémon, and even if they rack their brains, they find it difficult to learn unique moves. Sometimes I wonder if there is any connection between these three."

Lightmoy: "I see. I know what you wanted to ask."

"First, there's the issue of genetics. Pokémon from the same egg group may inherit their parents' appearance, moves, individual values, personality, and abilities, just like humans, only more obviously in Pokémon."

"As for how to artificially raise Pokémon with the potential to Gigantamax, I think that requires something called a Dynamax Crystal."

"After using a Dynamax Crystal, there is a possibility that a Pokémon with a rare ability and the potential to Gigantamax may appear in a special giant den. I think it's not that the crystal attracts such Pokémon, but rather that the crystal gives them the power to change forms."

"This thing probably has a similar effect to the Dynamax Fungus from the Isle of Armor."

Dynamax Crystals are items that cannot be obtained through any in-game means in Generation VIII. They can only be obtained through events. There are 300 types of these items, and their names all begin with a ★ followed by the abbreviations of constellations designated by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
"The light beams emitted from Pokémon dens come in two colors: red and purple. You should have observed this in Galar before, right? Professor Mulan, you and the Marocmon Group should have discovered Butterfree undergoing Gigantamax due to the purple light beam during your past research."

"One of the earliest places where the purple beam of light appeared was the present-day Lords Tower."

"In other words, Pokémon dens with red beams of light have a chance to glow, while Pokémon dens with purple beams of light will definitely glow. Glowing Pokémon dens are more likely to contain Pokémon with Hidden Abilities, Egg Moves, high Individual Values, and Gigantamax forms."

"Egg moves are innate, high IVs are the result of people quantifying a Pokémon's abilities, that is, talent. And Gigantamax is the potential that is stimulated by Galar particles."

"Pokémon dens that emit red beams of light have a chance to emit a golden glow."

"A Pokémon den with a purple beam of light will definitely emit a golden glow."

Dr. Mulan's hand trembled slightly: "Golden light?! So, that light really was..."

A part of the puzzle I've been struggling with for years has been solved here!
Lightmoss: "That's right, that golden light is also known as [aura]."

"The region that generally possesses this aura is Alola, which is very far from Galar. The most powerful Pokémon with this aura are called Totem."

"However, Galar is a place born of darkness, so the aura of light here cannot produce Totem Pokémon like it does over there."

"In the neighboring Kalos region, there are also legendary 'Aura Pokémon'. In the Padilla region, Pokémon that have eaten special legendary seasonings will also exhibit 'Gigantification' and 'Radiant Aura' status changes."

"It is too early to draw any conclusions about the connection between the light aura of Alola and the golden aura on the Pokémon of Galar."

"However, among Pokémon with extremely high potential and talent, there are also [Bosses] with extremely strong vitality and ferocity. These are leader-type Pokémon that originated from the influence of ancient customs and environments, and they may appear in modern regions in the future."

"Whether the combination of light and Galar particles can bring out the inner potential of Pokémon is uncertain and can only be considered a conjecture. What is certain at present is that dream energy can affect the characteristics of Pokémon, which is the definite answer I can provide as a member of the Dream Research Institute."

Dr. Mulan: "It seems that the issues related to egg colonies and breeding are still very complex. Now I understand even more the enormous contributions that Dr. Oak's student, Elf, has made."

"Aura and energy both influence Pokémon training and unleash their potential. Is this what you're preparing to present as your 'Terrain Theory'?"

"I've heard about this from the elders on the Isle of Armor. It seems the Pokémon of the Galar region could become strong evidence for the theory of native habitats. This is truly a theory with enormous potential; it might influence future research on Pokémon behavior, evolution, and breeding throughout the entire Pokémon world, once confirmed."

"Perhaps it will change the world."

"Huh? That theory of local customs that he often mentions, is it something that amazing? It can change the Pokémon world?" Sonia was the most surprised. She immediately realized something: "Wait, wasn't he just talking about an amazing research topic? Red beams and purple beams, that's Dynamax, right!"

"This is supposed to be my area of ​​research, but now they're starting to explain it. What am I supposed to do?"

Mulan: "Then add another item to your research: study Pokémon that start with Gigantamax and rare abilities."

"Moreover, this is also related to dens and raid battles, involving the training of local Pokémon and their natural state, so going to the Space Research Institute for further studies is a must."

Lightmoss: "Actually, there was another doctor who studied terroir before, including research on regional morphology, about 150 years ago. And the origins are in Galar and Alora, but that doctor's research results..."

"Disappeared."

Dr. Mulan: "The lost research content? However, research from 150 years ago and the content preserved by ancient peoples over thousands of years are definitely very different. It is really a pity that the previous research content has been lost."

"Of course, this argument has been reiterated now. I have high hopes for you, Dr. Lightmoss."

"Well, there's one last thing: the issue of the unusual color."

Lightmoss: "It's also related to aura. The more Pokémon with golden light you defeat, the more likely you are to encounter Pokémon with rare colors. I think there's probably some kind of power attracting them."

"Just like the Shining Charm that was developed in the Unova region. This thing, well, the results haven't been published yet, but it should be soon."

The determination of shiny Pokémon is not as mechanical as in the game, but it definitely refers to Pokémon that have a special status in the species or that have undergone changes.

Just like the "Intrusion Battles" in Alola, where a Pokémon being beaten up might call for help, and among these helpers or natural enemies, there is a higher chance of a shiny Pokémon appearing as the number of chain battles increases.

In other words, the appearance of shiny Pokémon must be related to battles.

Furthermore, there is no definitive answer as to how to hatch shiny Pokémon more efficiently from eggs. However, there was something called the "Strange Egg" in Generation II. This was not Togepi's Miracle Egg. This Strange Egg could only hatch seven specific types of Pokémon, and there was a 50% chance that it would be a shiny Pokémon.

"A Shining Amulet?" Dr. Mulan was very interested when she heard about how this thing was made.

"Is there some special mechanical device involved? Is it related to radio waves, or some natural stimulus? By the way, there were rumors in the Johto region that Team Rocket created a red Gyarados."

"I see. You were originally connected to the Dream Lab and the Yew Lab. Shiny and shiny are related to the origins of Pokémon. Oh, what a pity."

Dr. Mulan shook her head and looked at Sonia: "It seems that Dr. Yew's research results are more amazing. Your research results are far inferior."

Sonia stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered:
"So I can't represent this side. Uh-huh."

"What's going on? We're all young researchers, but I...I'm just too incompetent."

"Alright, don't be sad. Go get the stuff from the lab." Dr. Mulan urged Sonia, who hurriedly ran into the back lab, followed by a gasp:

"What is this? A Pokémon egg?!"

“That’s right.” Dr. Mulan looked at everyone: “I plan to entrust the egg to the children I’ve chosen to move here.”

"According to research in the Johto region, it seems that if the egg walks with the trainer, it will hatch faster. The previous question was whether it was possible to hatch a special individual with Gigantamax potential and even higher Gigantamax power."

"Now that the mystery has been solved, let these children take the eggs they were entrusted with and investigate the nest of the purple pillar of light!"

"They will eventually head to the snowfield to see who arrives first."

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rang at just the right moment.

Sonia opened the door, and to everyone's surprise, a lovely girl wearing a grey cotton coat and a standard Scottish green hat appeared at the end of the radiant light and walked in from outside.
