What should I do if my pet loves watching anime?

The morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting warm dappled patterns on the floor.

Gu Beiri sat at his desk with his notebook open in front of him, filled with observational data, theoretical derivations, and conjectures to be verified about electrical sites.

"well……"

Gu Beiri took off his glasses, rubbed his throbbing temples, and looked quite tired.

Time is running out.

The freshman challenge was imminent, and his research paper couldn't be delayed either; the youth competition was also waiting for him.

He hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time, and last night he stayed up all night.

The fluffy sheep was lying at his feet, fast asleep, its tail occasionally swaying unconsciously.

While Gu Beiri was busy with his research, it was incredibly leisurely.

After completing the tasks assigned by Gu Beiri each day, aside from occasionally guiding the training of Scyther, he either watches anime or lies down and sleeps.

The mantis was doing its morning basic training in the living room, and it was unusually excited ever since its initial victory.

"Site-related characteristics..."

Gu Beiri tapped the table lightly with his pen, his brows furrowed slightly.

After his discussion with Dr. Dongfang, he became even more convinced that his conjecture was correct.

The reason why Munchlax was able to master and enhance Electric Terrain in such a short time is not only due to the influence of Zapdos, but also because the deeper reason may be that Pokémon with the Terrain ability have a special talent in constructing Energy Channel.

Therefore, the research paper with the help of Dongfang Weixi can be further divided into another aspect: the energy aspect of terrain-type characteristic Pokémon.

In this way, the research task previously promised to the Linhai Research Institute can be completed ahead of schedule.

Just then, my phone vibrated.

It was a message from Su Wenya: "Director Wang contacted me, saying that the research institute is available this afternoon and asking when we can go over."

Gu Beiri perked up and immediately replied, "It can be done this afternoon. I'll finalize the experimental design this morning."

"Okay, then I'll confirm the time with Professor Wang."

By the way, I've already taken care of your competition registration and collected some materials. I'll send them to you at noon.

Thanks.

"There's no need for this between us, you go ahead with your work."

Putting down his phone, Gu Beiri sped up the process of organizing the information.

He needs to design a systematic comparative experiment plan that is both theoretically sound and practically feasible.

More importantly, he had to convince Director Wang to support this research direction.

After all, borrowing Pokémon from other research institutes for research requires considerable connections and resources.

Pokémon with terrain-based abilities are already rare, and among the four major terrain types, Fairy Terrain has not yet been discovered.

Around noon, Su Wenya arrived on time with lunch and a folder.

"This is the information we've collected on the new recruits so far." She handed the folder to Gu Beiri. "There are a few people who need special attention; their Pokémon and training styles are quite unique."

Gu Beiri flipped through the book while eating.

The information is quite detailed, including Pokémon species, known moves, past battle records, and even some personality analysis and tactical preferences.

It is clear that Su Wenya used her resources and connections as a research assistant.

"This is so comprehensive, it's been a huge help." Gu Beiri expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

"It's no trouble at all." Su Wenya smiled, then said seriously, "However, it might take some persuasion from Professor Wang."

Although he admires you, borrowing Pokémon from other research institutes for research is still somewhat complicated in terms of procedures.

Gu Beiri nodded: "I understand, so this afternoon's meeting is very important. I need to come up with a sufficiently convincing proposal."

After lunch, Gu Beiri gave the experiment design a final check, and then put the two Pokémon back into their Poké Balls.

"Let's go."

…………

The Seaside Elf Research Institute is located in the eastern suburbs of the city. It is a modern white building complex surrounded by a meticulously designed ecological park that simulates a variety of different natural environments.

After registering at the entrance of the research institute, Gu Beiri was guided inside by a research assistant.

Walking through the bright corridor, you see displays of the institute's important achievements over the years hanging on the walls on both sides.

"Professor Wang has been waiting for you for a long time." The assistant stopped in front of a door and knocked gently.

"Come in."

Pushing open the door reveals a spacious office and research room.

Director Wang Zhenhua was standing in front of a whiteboard, which was covered with formulas and data.

"Hello, Director Wang," Gu Beiri greeted politely.

Wang Zhenhua turned around, a kind smile on his face: "Little Gu is here. Sit down, don't be shy."

He pointed to the sofa in the office, then walked to the water dispenser and poured himself a glass of water.

"I heard from Xiao Su that you have new ideas about the characteristics of the venue?" Wang Zhenhua asked directly, handing a water glass to Gu Beiri.

"Yes." Gu Beiri took the water glass and took out the prepared materials from his bag. "Under the guidance of Dr. Dongfang, I observed that Rongrong Sheep has shown a speed and depth far exceeding the norm in mastering and enhancing the electric field."

He unfolded the data analysis charts: "Look, this is a record of energy fluctuations when the velvet sheep unfolded the electrical field."

Compared to traditional records, it has a 37% faster field setup speed, 42% higher energy density, and—”

Gu Beiri pointed to another image: "This is a real-time monitoring image of the energy channels. As you can see, during the deployment of the field, the energy transfer efficiency within the velvet sheep is exceptionally high, almost instantaneous."

Wang Zhenhua leaned closer to observe, and the eyes behind the glasses became increasingly bright.

"Interesting...very interesting," he murmured. "This efficiency does exceed the normal range for releasing Electric Terrain Pokémon, but it's still within the time limit for Electric Creator to deploy."

"That's right." Gu Beiri nodded in agreement, and then continued.

"So I suspect that the reason why Terrain-type Pokémon can quickly deploy and maintain the Terrain may not be for the reasons currently believed in academia—that they store more Terrain energy."

Rather, it's because they possess a special talent for constructing energy channels.

He turned to the next page: "In other words, site characteristics may not just be a characteristic, but an inherent advantage in energy architecture."

This advantage allows them to construct energy channels that resonate with the site's energy more quickly and efficiently.

Wang Zhenhua fell silent, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.

The only sound in the office was the soft hum of the air conditioner.

After a long silence, Wang Zhenhua raised his head: "It's a very bold conjecture. But it's very difficult to verify."

Of course, I'm referring to the experimental subjects.

"That's why I need the research institute's help." Gu Beiri had anticipated this.

"If my conjecture is correct, it could overturn current academic theories and allow me to build a new field."

"You are more ambitious than I imagined," Wang Zhenhua said, his tone ambiguous, neither praising nor criticizing.

"I just want to explore possibilities as much as possible," Gu Beiri said frankly. "You said that the most important things in scientific research are curiosity and bold hypotheses."

Wang Zhenhua smiled.

"Very good. I like young people with ideas." He walked back to his desk, picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Xiao Li, contact Lao Chen for me. Tell him I have a project that requires the use of Ai Guan Shi and Qiao Yin Hou, and ask him when it would be convenient for him."

The assistant responded on the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhenhua said to Gu Beiri, "The process will take time, but it should be manageable."

"If this experiment proves successful, your research results will already be comparable to those of many outstanding researchers."

If they found out, you've only been in academia for less than six months; I wonder what they'd think.

Wang Zhenhua spoke with a half-smile.

"Who cares what they think? I just want to do my research, be a researcher, and follow my trainer path."

Gu Beiri smiled, stood up and took his leave.

Watching Gu Beiri's figure disappear into the office, Wang Zhenhua sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Heroes emerge from among the young."
