What should I do if my pet loves watching anime?

"I believe the key to victory in this battle lies in 'rhythm control,'" Gu Beiri said, his words setting him apart from others. "It's not simply about speed, but about who controls the rhythm of energy release."

He drew two waveforms on the blackboard.

"Raichu's strength lies in its explosive power, but its ability to sustain combat is weak."

The video shows that its 100,000-volt attack is very powerful, but it requires about three seconds to recharge after each release. These three seconds are its weakness.

"Pikachu, on the other hand, has a smaller single attack power, but it is used frequently with almost no recharge interval."

The Pikachu trainer's strategy is simple: use Agility to avoid Raichu's power spikes and attack during the charging intervals.

He paused, then continued, "But here's a problem—what if Raichu could accumulate charge beforehand, shortening the charging time?"

Professor Li's eyes lit up: "Go on."

"I noticed in the video that Raichu's tail trembles before releasing 100,000 volts, which is a sign of charge accumulation."

But Raichu's trainer didn't take full advantage of this. He only charged up temporarily each time, resulting in a three-second interval.

Gu Beiri added a line to the waveform graph.

"If Raichu keeps some charge accumulating on its tail during battle, then when releasing 100,000 volts, it only needs to replenish the remaining charge."

This could potentially reduce charging time to one second or even less.

The classroom fell silent.

This idea is novel, and... it sounds feasible.

"But this requires extremely high energy control," one student questioned. "Won't being distracted by energy accumulation during combat affect other operations?"

"Yes," Gu Beiri admitted. "That's why training is necessary. And it doesn't necessarily have to be Raichu's doing—the trainer can create opportunities for it to build up energy through commands."

He looked at Professor Li: "Professor, I remember there is a tactic called 'pre-charge,' which was created by the former Elite Four member when he was young. It involves letting Electric-type Pokémon store charge in advance when they are not in battle, and then releasing it directly during battle."

Theoretically, Raichu could do the same.

Professor Li nodded slowly: "The 'pre-charging' tactic does exist, but it is usually used for Pokémon with energy storage characteristics."

This is difficult for ordinary Electric-type Pokémon to do because the charge would dissipate naturally.

"But what if we combine it with an electrical field?" Gu Beiri put forward the core point: "An electrical field can stabilize the electric field and slow down the dissipation of charge."

If Raichu masters an Electric Field, he can pre-charge within the field and use it at any time during battle.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

This idea... is too bold.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

Professor Li remained silent for a long time, then applauded.

"A brilliant analysis," he said. "You not only saw the surface but also unearthed deeper tactical possibilities. Gu Beiri, your thinking is very broad."

Zhou Mingxuan's face turned ashen.

He was outdone again.

…………

After class, Professor Li called Gu Beiri to his office.

"Sit down." He gestured to a chair. "Your speech this morning reminded me of someone."

"Who?"

"My senior, Xia Ri." Professor Li's gaze was distant. "Thirty years ago, when he proposed the theory of 'resonance evolution,' he was just like that. His ideas were wildly imaginative, but his logic was impeccable."

Gu Beiri felt a chill run down his spine.

Summer?

The legendary researcher who proposed the theory of resonance evolution, which was later questioned by the academic community?

"Although his theory was not accepted by the mainstream later, he taught me one thing: true innovation often arises from questioning common sense."

He took a folder out of the drawer.

"These are some notes I took when I was doing research with Summer back then, about the synergy of Electric-type Pokémon's energy fields. They might be helpful to you."

Gu Beiri took the folder, his fingers trembling slightly.

Summer research notes? Leaving aside their specific material value, their commemorative significance alone is immeasurable.

"Professor, this is so precious..."

"Knowledge should be passed on to those who can understand it." Professor Li waved his hand. "I can see that you and Xia Ri are the same kind of people—not bound by existing frameworks, and daring to imagine."

These notes are just old papers to me, but in your hands, they might be given new life.

He paused for a moment: "However, I must remind you. The reason why Xia's theory is questioned is because of the lack of experimental evidence."

You can learn from the ideas, but don't accept them wholesale.

The most important thing in scientific research is to be realistic and truthful.

"I understand, thank you, Professor."

Over the next few days, Gu Beiri attended classes during the day and studied Xia Ri's notes and Professor Chen's book at night.

Those yellowed pages were filled with summer thoughts from back then:

[Experimental Log: Electric Field Resonance Test of Pikachu and Raichu... When the electric fields of the two Pokémon are superimposed, the charge transfer efficiency increases by 37%...]

[Hypothesis: There is some kind of "electric grid"-like energy connection between Electric-type Pokémon, and the closer they are, the stronger the connection becomes...]

[Inference: If trainers could integrate into this "electric grid," they might be able to command more precisely...]

The more I read, the more alarmed I became.

Xia Ri's research was more advanced and daring than Gu Beiri had imagined.

He even proposed the concept of a "human-spirit energy interface"—trainers can directly sense the energy state of Pokémon through special equipment, achieving a kind of "mind-to-mind" command.

"Brain-computer interface? Cyber ​​ascension?" Gu Beiri murmured.

Really amazing!

But the notes stopped there.

There were no experimental results, no published papers, only a line of hastily written text:

[The alliance halted the experiment, citing ethical risks. Perhaps I'm wrong?]

Gu Beiri closed his notebook, his feelings complicated.

Summer is way ahead of its time.

The technology from thirty years ago simply couldn't support his vision.

But what about today?

The technology in this world seems to be more advanced than that of his previous life on Earth.

At least the Poké Ball technology, healing potion recipes, and energy detection equipment are all very mature.

If the summer theory is actually feasible...

Shaking his head, Gu Beiri dismissed those unrealistic ideas from his mind.

There are many types of sprites, so this method is feasible, but it is not universally applicable.

"Ding-dong."

Just then, my phone rang. It was a message from Su Wenya.

"I heard your classroom analysis today was excellent. Professor Li rarely praises people like that."

"Good luck."

"No need to be modest."

By the way, are you free this weekend?

The research institute organized a small Pokémon observation activity at the Electric Plains on the outskirts of Linhai City, where participants could bring their own Pokémon.

Director Wang asked me to ask you if you wanted to participate.

Electric Plain?

Gu Beiri knew that place—it was the largest habitat for wild Electric-type Pokémon near Linhai City because of the power generation system.

"Okay. What do I need to prepare?"

"Standard outdoor gear is fine."

Meet at the research institute entrance at 8:00 AM on Saturday. Remember to bring your Mareep; it's beneficial for Electric-type Pokémon there.
