Long Gong's words fell into his ears.

Nan Xian was also stunned, feeling incredible.

"This really is...it really far exceeded my expectations."

……

The hotel where Nanxian and Longgong are currently staying is a hotel called Rendu Rosse. As one of the few five-star hotels in Gongmen City, Rendu Rosse will also provide accommodation services for the players of the championship.

Apart from the annual championship period, the Rondo Rosse is also open to the public on weekdays, and during some special periods, it will even take on the responsibility of entertaining important guests.

During this period of the championship invitational tournament, every contestant and the alliance delegation members from each region will stay in Rendurosse. Although Nanxian and Longgong arrived a few days early, the hotel front desk was already prepared and assigned rooms to the girls.

While Nan Xian was driving Milton around Gongmen City for sightseeing, Ryugu arrived at the hotel first. After settling her luggage in the room, she followed the usual practice of discussing tactics with her Pokémon in the room to prepare for the subsequent competitions.

But he never expected that, because Nan Xian had given Long Gong a black stone not long ago, and considering that the sharp stone was difficult to put away, Long Gong put the black stone out first, but it was accidentally touched by Scyther.

At that instant, the light of evolution lit up Scyther's body, and then it turned into a appearance that Ryugu did not recognize at all!

Seeing that the competition was just around the corner, Long Gong almost cried out. If she hadn't thought that Nan Xian would be back at the hotel soon, she would probably have burst into tears on the spot.

"Nan Xian, you better think of a solution!"

After hearing Long Gong's description, Nan Xian couldn't hold back any more and almost couldn't keep his calm expression.

As we all know, Scyther usually has only one evolved form, namely the Giant Mantis.

By carrying a special artificial metal film that is both flexible and hard, and then connecting and exchanging stimulation, the Sly Mantis, which has the combined attributes of insect and flying, can evolve into the Giant Mantis, which has the combined attributes of insect and steel.

Due to its excellent combination of attributes and extremely strong qualities, although the evolutionary route to Giganotosaurus is not discovered long ago, any trainer who has done some research on the insect attribute knows how to breed Scyther into Giganotosaurus.

Since Ryugu has subdued Scyther, this part of the homework will naturally not be neglected.

But he never expected that Scyther would evolve into a completely unfamiliar Pokémon because of the black stone. Ryugu felt that all his preparations were ineffective. When he looked at the Pokémon beside him who were still not used to the two sharp stone axes, he felt like the sky was falling.

But at this moment, Nan Xian's expression became more and more strange. He looked at the Pokémon beside Ryugu and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.

"Bah..."

Familiar voice, familiar appearance, two familiar rock axes...

If this isn't an axe-splitting mantis, what else could it be?

"...Anyway, don't be in a hurry."

Nan Xian first comforted Long Gong while quickly thinking.

The Axe Mantis would actually be connected to the Scyther, which was something Nan Xian had never thought of before.

Although the two look somewhat similar, Pokémon research cannot be concluded by just guessing. Even if Nan Xian has some vague guesses, he will have to wait until he gives some information to familiar scholars for research.

I never thought that the strange black stone I brought back from Xicui would actually play a role.

——Using the Black Stone, Scyther can evolve into Axe Mantis.

The result of this coincidence made Nan Xian laugh and cry. When the situation was confirmed, she no longer thought too much about the cause and effect, but seriously thought about what she should do after the Scythe of Dragon Palace evolved into the Axe Mantis.

Most Pokémon will become more powerful after evolving, but some Pokémon have special situations.

Scyther is a special case of this kind. When Scyther evolves into Giant Mantis, except for the changes in racial values ​​and characteristics, the racial values ​​do not actually change much.

Occasionally, there will be a very small number of Sly Mantises that are accustomed to light flight and cannot adapt to the metal body of the Giant Mantis, and their actual combat capabilities are therefore weakened.

After Ryugu's Scyther evolves into Axe Mantis, its combat effectiveness may also decrease.

For trainers, their Pokémon is almost equivalent to a brand new Pokémon after evolution. Not only do they need to adapt to the Pokémon's abilities, but they also have to rethink their tactical arrangements.

Even though Ryugu is determined to become a trainer specializing in dragon attributes, Scyther does occupy a special position in her team. Scyther, who is self-reliant and has a strong fighting will, has brought Ryugu many victories so far.

Because of this, when faced with such an unexpected situation just before the game was about to begin, Longgong felt like the sky was about to fall.

but.

Nan Xian didn't think this was a completely bad thing.

Scyther's original ability was indeed outstanding, but in comparison, Axe Mantis left a deeper impression on Nan Xian.

Even though he had defeated the Forest King of Xicui before, the Axe Mantis was still unable to defeat the Ground Wing even with the Jade Bug Slate, and was eventually subdued by Nanxian.

You can think about it from a different perspective.

The Axe Mantis was able to withstand the continuous battle and fought with Nanxian for three hundred rounds in a row, before finally losing to the Crawling Wing who performed exceptionally well in the synchronous mode!

With a Pokémon of this strength, who can say it has no potential?

Ryugu was just worried that his Scyther had turned into a strange Pokémon, and he didn't know its potential abilities and characteristics. He was afraid that he would suffer an accident before the game and his combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

"...Let me take a picture of it first."

Nan Xian calmed himself down and tried to comfort Long Gong first.

"You know, I have a wide network of contacts. I will take a picture of it and transmit it to Professor Oak. Maybe Professor Oak will know some of the information."

How could Ryugu not know about Professor Oak's reputation?

When she heard that Nan Xian knew Professor Oak, the blue-haired girl's nervousness was relieved a little. She sat obediently on the chair in the room, watching Nan Xian raise his mobile phone to take pictures of the equally helpless Axe Mantis, and then transmitted the photos to Professor Oak.

then.

Drop drop drop-

In less than a minute, Nan Xian's cell phone suddenly rang urgently, as if symbolizing the caller's impatience, when the white-haired girl picked up the call.

"Nanxian! Where did you get the photo of this Pokémon?!"

Professor Oak's tone was full of urgency. Not only that, the old man also kept requesting video calls.

Because Ryugong was right next to him, the two of them were in Ryugong's hotel room. He saw that Ryugong looked indifferent to his request for a video call.

"Doctor, wait a moment, I'll get the tablet."

It is still rather troublesome to make a video call using a mobile phone. Nan Xian first turned out the tablet and placed it on the table before re-initiating the video call.

Professor Oak was already impatient, and when he saw the screen light up, he wanted to stick his eyeballs directly to the camera. When he saw the Axe Mantis farther away from the two girls, his eyes widened immediately.

"This... this is indeed the Pokémon from the Chrysanthemum Records, Axeman!"

really.

Nan Xian also said this in his heart.

Considering that many historians in Sinnoh have recently unearthed a lot of records from the Qingcui period, this part of the work involves cooperation among multiple parties. The most Nanxian can get is some information synchronization from Professor Oak because of the Feiyuqiu matter.

It was normal that other information did not reach him. Nan Xian sent the photos because he thought that Professor Oak might know some of the information.

When the girl heard Professor Oak say the name of the Axe Mantis in an extremely confident tone, her mood had calmed down a lot.

"Oh? Is this the Axe Mantis?"

When Professor Oak wanted to stick himself to the camera, the old man's aged face occupied most of the screen. Outside the screen, Qinglu also made comments with interest.

"It's a very majestic form. Just looking at the literature, I really can't imagine that the axe-splitting mantis would look like this."

It has been quite a while since the research work on Beishang Township. After Qinglu returned to the Zhenxin Town Research Institute, he has been summarizing the legendary exploration work in Beishang Township and analyzing the data shared by Orange Academy.

As a new researcher who has just entered the academic world, Qinglu is very dedicated to his work. Just after the New Year, he was ready to publish a new paper, but he was just waiting for his grandfather to review the manuscript to ensure that there would be no accidents.

Unexpectedly, I could see Professor Oak communicating with Nan Xian in the Pallet Town Laboratory, and Nan Xian had found some incredible Pokémon.

Axe Mantis!

In addition to being a researcher, Green is also a top-level trainer. Just by looking at the demeanor and axe of Axeman, he can feel that this Pokémon has considerable combat potential.

"The thing is like this..."

Nan Xian didn’t care about what Professor Oak and the green Axe Mantis thought about the Pallet Town Research Institute.

Since all the acquaintances were there, she simply explained the whole story first, including how Scyther evolved into Axe Mantis after touching the black stone, the nature of the black stone, and Daigo's conclusion after seeing the photo of the black stone.

Among these words, the cause and effect of Scyther touching the black stone and evolving into Axe Mantis is indeed astonishing, but Professor Oak still noticed the most critical problem.

"Nan Xian, I have a question."

Professor Oak recovered from the joy and shock he felt when he first saw Axe Mantis. His face turned away from the camera, but he still looked at Axe Mantis from time to time and kept his eyes on Nan Xian while raising sharp questions.

"Where did this stone, which you named Black Strange Stone, come from?"

——Is it coming after all?

Nan Xian certainly knew it.

It is natural that the sudden appearance of the strange black stone would make people curious and wonder about its origin.

What's more, academic experts like Dr. Oak are even more meticulous and need to understand all the reasons clearly so that they can make a more comprehensive analysis of the Axe Mantis.

Fortunately, Nan Xian had already made some preparations, so even if she was suddenly asked a question, she could still answer it in a vague tone.

"I found them in the oak forest... Doctor, you should understand, right?"

"oh oh!"

Professor Oak suddenly showed an epiphany in the face of Qinglu's curious eyes, and his face was beaming with joy, as if he had exchanged a secret signal with Nanxian, and he looked as if he understood everything.

"Grandpa, what on earth are you talking about?"

"Oh, I'll tell you about this later!"

Professor Oak immediately understood the answer that the girl wanted to give when Nan Xian mentioned the oak forest. Considering that there was also an unfamiliar young trainer, Ryugu, in the video call, Professor Oak did not directly answer Qinglu's question.

——But I didn’t expect that the forest god in the oak forest would favor Nan Xian so much.

Professor Oak sighed secretly.

There is a Celebi active in the oak forest. Ever since Nan Xian reported this matter, the Quartz Alliance has taken it seriously and even sent people to renovate the ancestral hall in the oak forest.

Unfortunately, apart from Nan Xian’s report, no one else has seen Celebi so far.

Only the precious ball and the Millerton in Nan Xian's hands, as well as the sky blue jade that she took out from somewhere, can prove that this talented young craftsman does have a connection with the time-traveling Pokémon Celebi, and that she can receive gifts from Celebi from time to time.

The current black stone must be a gift from Celebi to Nan Xian.

Since it concerns Celebi, there is no need to worry about the origin of the black stone. Professor Oak made up his mind in an instant.

"This Pokémon is actually a Pokémon recorded during the Qingui period. Its name is Axeman. I didn't expect it to be related to Scyther!"

Professor Oak told Nan Xian the result that he had already known, and during the call, Ryugu could only nod in ignorance.

"Your name is Ryugu, right? This discovery is very shocking, and it's normal for you to be worried, but it doesn't matter, we will answer your questions!"

"Qinglu, go buy two tickets to Galar. We're going to Galar today!"

"Ok."

Qinglu also nodded happily.

It is naturally a happy thing to be able to see Pokémon recorded in history, not to mention being able to study them personally.

Green himself prefers Pokémon that can obviously demonstrate combat power. Most of the results of his research on Pokémon will be reflected in the breeding of Pokémon.

Maybe, I can also study the axe mantis and then breed one of my own.

Qinglu was lost in thought as she walked aside, took out her cell phone, and prepared to choose a plane ticket.

Meanwhile, during the call here, Professor Oak was still chattering about Ryugu.

"In the next few days, we may conduct a series of follow-up studies on the axe-splitting mantis and collect its data for analysis!"

"If your Pokémon training is affected by this, we will be responsible for giving you some compensation, and professionals will help you train Pokémon better!"

The professional that Professor Oak mentioned is naturally his grandson Qinglu.

It’s a pity that Long Gong is still confused and can’t figure out the situation.

Professor Oak is a big shot who even his boss and big sister need to receive with respect. Ryugu didn't know how he received Professor Oak's warm care and could only respond in a humphing manner.

"Yes... I will follow your arrangements..."

Chapter 195: Contact from Peony

Nan Xian silently watched the conversation between Ryugu and Professor Oak. Seeing that their topic shifted from Axe Mantis to the performance of Scyther before its evolution, he knew that there would not be much for him to do next.
