Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 467 Pokémon Academic Summit

"So, is your speech ready?"

Cynthia sat in the chair, reached out and pinched one of the cat ears that Lucario was holding, popped it into her mouth and crunched it, then asked.

Fang Yan was lying on the bed at that moment. Upon hearing Cynthia's words, he asked Miss Goth to bring over his manuscript and place it next to the camera. "Look, we've prepared so much. I've been preparing for this for a week."

"Thanks a lot."

Cynthia put the last bit of cat ears into her mouth and said, "By the way, the meeting starts tomorrow morning. Is it really okay for you to still be at the nursery today?"

"Don't worry, as long as the academic conference is held in the Sinnoh region, I can get there in no time."

Cynthia realized, "That's true."

"See you tomorrow then."

Cynthia yawned, then stood up, and the Rotom phone moved with her.

"Will you come tomorrow too?"

Dialects are full of anticipation.

Cynthia stopped and looked at the screen with a puzzled expression. "Didn't you see the list Professor Oak sent you?" she asked.

"No, why? I only checked my number and then stopped."

The reply was given in dialect as a matter of course.

Cynthia shook her head helplessly; she knew it would turn out this way.

"Have you forgotten that I am also a Pokémon scholar?"

Cynthia continued, "My grandmother and I will also be sharing our research tomorrow."

"You and your grandmother shared your research? Have you been doing research lately?"

"What else? I'm running around every day, and besides handling business, I'm doing field research and investigations."

"I thought you were just being lazy—"

"Um?

"What topic did you share with your grandma this time?"

"The connection and authenticity between the legends of the Sinnoh region and legendary Pokémon."

"Legendary Pokémon? Palkia and the like?"

"That's right, thanks to your help, I've collected a lot of theories this time."

"Should I bring your Giratina over tomorrow to add credibility to your research?"

"—Isn't that unnecessary? It would cause panic."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Fang Yan nodded, then yawned, "I can't take it anymore, the air conditioning is so comfortable, I'm going to sleep now. See you tomorrow, Miss Zhu Lan."

Cynthia hummed in agreement. "See you tomorrow, my dialect shopkeeper."

"!"

"That doesn't count, you launched a sneak attack!"

Fang Yan couldn't take it when Cynthia suddenly flirted with him and immediately protested.

"I'm not listening. Goodnight."

Cynthia hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

Seeing the phone call being hung up, Fang Yan flipped over like a salted fish, sending Miss Goth, who was sitting on the bed reading a book, flying.

Lying at the foot of the bed, Fang Yan saw Miss Goth looking at him, spread his hands, and said, "Goth's mother, please carry me back to the head of the bed."

Upon hearing Fang Yan's unreasonable request, Miss Goethe closed her book, then used her mental power to pull Fang Yan from the foot of the bed back to the head of the bed, covered him with a blanket, and turned off the room lights.

"Goethe".

good night.

Goodnight, Miss Goth, goodnight everyone.

Gengar, who was playing on its tablet while hiding on the ceiling, put the tablet back on the table and covered it with the small blanket that Fangyan had specially prepared for it after the lights were turned off.

"口桀一"

Goodnight! The remaining Pokémon also stopped what they were doing and drifted off to sleep peacefully to the sound of Fang Yan's soft snores.

Sinnoh region, Random Town.

"I never expected that this year's Pokémon Academic Conference would be held in Random Town."

Dr. Birch, carrying a backpack, looked at the buildings in Random Town and said, "I thought it would be held in God Town."

His assistant, upon hearing his words, said, "It's said that it was held in God and Town last time, so this time it's being held in Casual Town."

Oda nods. "Random Town is quite nice. Compared to the ancient and serious atmosphere of God Town, I prefer the relaxed feel of Random Town. Let's go in. I wonder if this meeting will produce any groundbreaking research."

"If nothing unexpected happens, there should be. Hasn't the topic of Pokémon food therapy caused a lot of controversy recently?"

Hearing his assistant's words, Dr. Oda stroked his beard and nodded. "That paper? I've read it. It's very well written. It covers many research topics. If you were to study them individually, you could probably write many papers."

"I wonder if the author of this paper will come. This is the first time I've ever seen a Pokémon scholar who can get Professor Oak and Professor Yamanashi to act as his assistants."

Oda-tom said.

He is the youngest person in the entire Pokémon academic community to receive a doctoral degree, and he is also a genius in Pokémon research.

However, he seems to have some social anxiety.

"The thought of having to greet so many people makes me want to run away. Can't we just listen to the research and discuss the topic properly instead of having to exchange pleasantries?"

Oda Scroll looked at the entrance to the venue and seemed about to turn away, but it was only after his assistant persuaded and pulled him that he was finally pushed into the venue.

Many renowned professors in the field of Pokémon studies were present at this time.

For example, Professor Juniper in the Unova region studies the origins of Pokémon, Professor Kukui in the Alola region studies Pokémon moves, Professor Elm in the Johto region studies Pokémon breeding habits, and Professor Magnolia in the Galar region studies the phenomenon of Pokémon Dynamax, etc.

Many scholars and doctors came over to greet Dr. Odamaki after they met him.

Dr. Odamaki is forced to work.

At this moment, Sonia, who was following Dr. Mulan, saw Cynthia who was following Dr. Mustard, and her eyes lit up. She let go of Dr. Mulan's arm and ran over to greet Cynthia.

"Hello, Champion Cynthia, I didn't expect you to attend this summit as well."

Cynthia recognized Sonia and greeted her with a smile.

"Because I also have a research project that I need to present on stage this time."

Sonia suddenly realized, "So that's how it is?"

After chatting for a while, Cynthia and Sonia introduced Dr. Magnolia and Dr. Mustard to each other.

Taking advantage of a break, Sonia noticed that Fang Yan wasn't following behind Shirona and asked curiously, "Isn't Fang Yan, the shop manager, attending this summit? His paper on 'food therapy' is excellent."

As a Pokémon researcher, she had read papers on dialects, but she never expected that Professor Oak and Professor Yamanashi would be her assistants.

No wonder he's a shop manager who speaks in dialect!

too strong.

"He'll probably be here a while; anyway, his report will be the last one."

Cynthia knows Fang Yan's character very well, and as the last one to give his report, she'll probably arrive right on time.

After chatting with Dr. Magnolia for a while, Dr. Magnolia saw Dr. Oak and Dr. Yamanashi appear in the center of the venue. She then said goodbye to Dr. Magnolia and left, heading towards Dr. Oak.

"Sorry, we'll talk later. Goodbye."

After Sonia finished speaking, she caught up with Dr. Mulan.

"That kid with the dialect, why isn't he here yet? Why make so many people wait for him?"

Dr. Mustard, unable to find the dialect, tapped his cane on the floor, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Cynthia could only laugh at this.

She dared not speak, lest Dr. Mustard Blue drag her into it as well.

"Has that guy with the dialect prepared his presentation yet?"

Despite her scolding, Dr. Mustard was still very concerned about dialects, so she looked up and asked Cynthia, who had returned to her side.

"He told me last night that he was ready. I saw that he had prepared quite a lot of materials. It took him a whole week to prepare them."

""

"Hmph! Making a phone call so late at night! You never call me, your grandma, at night. A week to prepare—couldn't he have prepared in advance? How can such a serious matter as a report and research be done perfectly in just a week? What can you accomplish in a week? I just hope he doesn't embarrass himself on stage and make things awkward for you and me!"

After Dr. Mustard Blue finished speaking, he tapped the floor again.

"Hasn't that guy arrived yet?"

Professor Oak scanned everyone present, but not finding Fang Yan, and asked.

Dr. Yamanashi's expression remained as serious as ever. "It seems so."

"Is he too scared to come over?"

Professor Oak was a little scared.

Dr. Yamanashi shook his head. "Probably not, he's not that kind of person."

"They're here."

Professor Oak smiled as he watched the figure emerge from the alley ahead.

"Why did you choose this spot next to the trash can?"

Fang Yan lowered his head and straightened his clothes. This formal outfit was specially made for him by the Yuan family after they learned that he was coming to attend the Pokémon Academic Summit. It was extremely expensive.

However, he didn't pay.

"Goblin!"

You opened this channel yourself, so what's the use of asking me for it?!

Gengar looked resentful. How could anyone have opened the exit of the Reverse Tunnel next to a trash can? It stinks so badly, it's killing that fat Gengar.

"Fortunately, we didn't run into them."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Professor Oak and Professor Yamanashi standing at the door, and he quickly ran over to them.

"Professor Oak, Professor Yamanashi, who are you waiting for? You're not waiting for me, are you?"

Professor Oak nodded. "We were just worried you wouldn't come, so we were about to go to the nursery ourselves, knock you out, and tie you up."

Hearing Professor Oak's joke, Fang Yan shook his head. "How could I not come? I've been preparing for this day for a whole week. If I didn't come, you and Professor Yamanashi wouldn't even need to come and tie me up; Miss Gothic would have already done it."

Miss Gothic would absolutely not allow her hard work to be wasted.

So if Fangyan dares to back out, it will dare to knock Fangyan unconscious with Gengar's sack, stuff it inside, and then send it over.

"Is everything ready?"

Dr. Yamanashi looked at Fang Yan with a smile.

Fang Yan nodded, "I'll do my best."

"That's good. It'll start soon, let's go in."

After Professor Yamanashi finished speaking, he looked at Professor Oak, who patted Fang Yan on the shoulder, and then walked into the venue with Professor Yamanashi.

Fang Yan searched the venue but couldn't find Cynthia. Finally, he spotted her accompanying Professor Mustard and another professor he didn't recognize to the venue. Before he could even go over and say hello, Professor Oak announced the start of the summit.

Everyone found their seats and sat down, but unfortunately, Fang Yan's seat was far away from Cynthia's.

Fang Yan found his seat and had just sat down when he noticed a familiar face walking over.

Looking at that familiar face, Fang Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He knew that face all too well.

An indispensable character in GBA works, a man who is chased around in circles by a coyote every day.

A doctor who studies Pokémon habitats.

He is also the youngest doctor in the Pokémon world.

Dr. Oda Birch.

"What's wrong?"

Oda Scroll looked at Fang Yan, who had burst out laughing, and asked with some confusion.

Fang Yan quickly shook his head, "It's nothing, I just thought of a joke and couldn't help but laugh out loud."

Odamaru sat down next to Fang Yan, looking at the young man beside her with curiosity, and asked, "Can I know what the joke is?"

Fang Yan paused for a moment, then said, "I once went to a family's house to help treat the psychological problems of their Pokémon. They also had a Squirtle, which I thought was quite cute, so I asked it if it could lend me some money."

"Do you know how Squirtle answered?"

"What was your answer?"

"It shook its head and kept saying 'Jenny, Jenny,' 'Jenny.'"

Classic Pokémon jokes.

To everyone's surprise, after hearing this, Oda Scroll paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, laughing until tears streamed down her face.

dialect:?

Huh? Is this joke really that funny? Isn't this a lame joke?

Is Dr. Oda Tomaki's threshold for laughter really that low?

After laughing, Oda Scroll wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Fang Yan, "No wonder you were laughing so happily just now."

Embarrassed by the dialect, he replied, "Yes."

Looking at the young man in front of him, who wasn't much older than him, Oda Scroll felt that the man had a reassuring aura about him, like the scent of Chinese herbal medicine, which made it easy for him to relax. He didn't feel as awkward in front of him as he did in front of others.

So he spoke first: "Hello, my name is Otto Scroll."

Of course I know you! You're very famous.

"Hello, Professor Birch, I've heard so much about you. My name is Fang Yan, and I'm the owner of a petting zoo."

He introduced himself in dialect.

"Fangyan—what a familiar name—"

Oda Birch seemed to remember hearing the name somewhere before, but couldn't recall where.

On the field, Professor Oak was saying what he should say at the opening ceremony. He didn't say much and finished quickly. After finishing his opening remarks, Professor Oak announced that today's Pokémon Summit had officially begun.

The first speaker was a female PhD student whose topic was: "The Significance of Pokémon Dreams".

"Pokémon Dreamland? Darkrai and Cresselia?"

Fang Yan pinched his chin, listening carefully to the doctor's report on the stage.

Suddenly, a voice came from beside Fang Yan, startling her.

"I remember now! That name!"

Fang Yan quickly turned to look at Odamaru, only to see Odamaru looking at him with a look of sudden realization.

"You're the breeder who wrote that paper about Pokémon nutrition, right?"

Fang Yan nodded. "If there aren't any other topics related to food therapy, then it should be me."

"I was wondering why your name sounded so familiar. Well, your paper was excellent, especially since it touched on some issues related to Pokémon habitats. Have you ever researched Pokémon habitats?"

Fang Yan hesitated for a moment. If dividing his breeding house into different areas based on different Pokémon also counts as a Pokémon habitat, then it should be, right?

"A little bit?"

Fang Yan stretched out his index finger and thumb and gestured.

"Great! I also research Pokémon habitats. Can we exchange ideas?"

"But isn't the higher-ups reporting this right now—"

"Well, generally speaking, many famous PhDs don't listen carefully to reports that are unrelated to their own research topics, except for Dr. Oki and Dr. Yamanashi. They need to listen carefully and then give a score."

"Is that so?"

Oda nods repeatedly.

So, from the start of the summit until he went up to give his report, Fang Yan was pulled aside by Professor Birch to discuss the issue of Pokémon habitats.
