After signing the contract, Izumi directly transferred the first payment of ten million alliance coins to the institute's account, not at all worried that the Dr. would run away with the money.
It was as if ten million was just an insignificant small sum to her.
Kebi even felt that five hundred million alliance coins was merely a necessary initial investment for Izumi.
Even if Dr. Suo Lan Si used it all, as long as there were results, they would choose to continue increasing their investment.
"Dr., ten million isn't a lot, but if you can't produce new results, we won't keep throwing money into the project for nothing."
"I hope you'll put your full effort into your research!"
"No problem!" As soon as the money was in hand, Dr. Suo Lan Si immediately felt ambitious.
Indeed, money gives courage; the Dr. Suo Lan Si, who had been somewhat timid, was now radiant and full of energy.
"I will definitely create a Meteorite with higher energy purity and larger volume!"
And not the current Meteorite fragments!
After giving the money, Izumi left directly with her people.
"Kebi, let's go to Rustboro City now to order materials, then come back to research Meteorite synthesis."
It's fine to challenge the Kanaz Gym first, but I don't know if there will be time to challenge Battle Island.
Kebi now had to care about Dr. Suo Lan Si's research project.
Kebi had not forgotten certain worlds in background stories, ruled by Kyogre manipulated by Archie, or Groudon manipulated by Maxie.
Those worlds might not have been without Ash; after all, just a tiny error could lead the world to two completely different endings.
Who knew if Pikachu, or Maxie, or he, Kebi, would get the blue orb?
That's right!
Instead of worrying about the world being destroyed by the Meteorite created by Dr. Suo Lan Si.
He might as well use Psychic to directly snatch the blue orb!
With Kebi's Psychic cultivation, he believed he could resist the erosion of the orb.
Instead of saying it's the erosion of the orb, it's more like fighting against the will of the ancient divine beasts contained within the orb.
And it's also unknown what specific methods the ancients used to create the orb.
On the contrary, Kebi read ancient secret texts, and some of the methods for creating tools mentioned in them were a tiny bit evil.
And wanting to control Groudon and Kyogre might be even more evil.
For example, a certain ancient emperor who wanted to control Ho-Oh was trapped in a Poké Ball he created, leaving only a mass of evil thoughts in the end.
Was the emperor himself so evil, or was his mind twisted by the Poké Ball created with evil methods?
Kebi guessed that the Dusk Ball used by Iron-Masked Marauder in the Johto region to control Celebi might have partly come from this ancient emperor.
Kebi never denied the powerful Psychic? Magic? Technology? Or alchemy? possessed by the ancients?
But it is undeniable that the ancients in the Pokémon world often had slightly lower bottom lines than modern people.
Kebi decided to work hard to improve himself before the century war between Team Aqua and Team Magma, striving to enable him to resist the evil power contained in the blue orb.
At the same time, Diancie's training could not stop; if he himself failed, perhaps Diancie would need to come to the rescue.
Time was running out for Diancie, but Kebi believed in Diancie's potential.
Since Red could go from a normal person starting from scratch to Elite Four Champion in one year.
Then there's no reason why Diancie couldn't quickly increase her lv70 and ability values in a short time and complete Mega Evolution!
Dr. Suo Lan Si had a car, and it only took one day to drive from Fallarbor Town to Rustboro City.
Even though he received ten million in investment, Dr. Suo Lan Si did not choose to stay in a luxurious hotel, but instead, with his usual simplicity, chose… the Pokémon Center!
Kebi shrugged, "Why do you researchers all like Pokémon Centers?"
Dr. Suo Lan Si said as a matter of course: "Staying at the Pokémon Center is free, and you can also get first-hand information about Pokémon, and by the way, watch young Trainer battles."
"Feel the gentleness of Joy, and relax your tired mind."
Kebi shook his head, "You're getting on in years, shouldn't you find a girlfriend? I see you like Joy so much, why don't you try pursuing the Joy in Fallarbor Town?"
Facing Kebi's words, Dr. Suo Lan Si rarely blushed.
"Did I? Was I that obvious?"
No, are your researchers' tastes all so uniform?
Do you all like Joy?
Kebi glanced at the Joy who was currently receiving Trainers. Well, he had to admit, although the Joys all looked similar, they were indeed all great beauties.
Beautiful in appearance and beautiful in heart, no one dislikes such beings.
"Help me book a room too, I'm going to make an appointment to challenge the Kanaz Gym."
Just as Kebi was about to leave, a young female teacher walked into the Pokémon Center.
"Joy, I hope you can help me send out a notice. I need to go to Sandgem Town in the Sinnoh region to meet Dr. Shanli, and I might not be able to accept Trainer challenges recently."
"Tell them not to go to Rustboro City anymore, and to choose other Gyms to challenge as much as possible."
Joy nodded, sending the message to her Sisters.
"Why are you going to see Dr. Shanli? Is there some Pokémon evolution problem you need to understand?"
Du Juan nodded and said, "Dr. Shanli's research has always been a key focus of everyone's attention. He recently proposed a conjecture about Nosepass with the Magnet Pull ability independently developing their ability to evolve."
"And he believes that this conjecture has a very high possibility of being realized. The latest released data shows that the Dr. is conducting corresponding attempts."
"But Dr. Shanli also said that perhaps this Nosepass is just a special individual and does not necessarily have universality, but a Nosepass that undergoes independent evolution through ability development will have a more probable future."
"This makes me have to go and see."
Not only Nosepass with the Magnet Pull ability, but also Nosepass with the Sturdy ability and Sand Force ability, Du Juan has raised many.
Perhaps most people would find Nosepass ugly, but Du Juan could recognize the unique beauty of Nosepass.
A Nosepass that develops its Magnet Pull ability to evolve independently has a broader future.
Du Juan would not think that her Probopass, which she raised from a young age, was inferior; she even firmly believed that her Probopass would be the best in the world.
She just wanted to appreciate this Nosepass that had developed a method of independent evolution.
As a Nosepass lover, Du Juan could not possibly not go and see such a unique Nosepass.
Kebi happened to hear it, so he walked up.
"Hello, Du Juan, I am the Trainer of the Nosepass you just mentioned."
Du Juan looked Kebi up and down, and seeing that Kebi's eyes did not change under her scrutiny, she believed him somewhat.
"If you just want to see Nosepass, there's no need to make a trip to Sandgem Town. I can call Dr. Shanli and have him teleport Nosepass over."
Du Juan was a little excited, "Really?!"
"Of course."
Kebi immediately made the call. After Dr. Shanli answered the phone, he said excitedly:
"Kebi, I have good news to tell you. Guess what it is?"
