Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 436 Shijana passing by (45)

After some haggling and non-acknowledgment, at ten o'clock in the morning, Lai, Naqi and Jirachi appeared in front of the gate of Green Ridge Universe Center on time.

Sitting on Lai's shoulder, Jirachi seemed to have won a great battle, full of pride, swinging his little feet up and down, and poking Lai's cheek from time to time.

"Dawu, long wait, we just had a morning exercise."

Facing Dawu who had been waiting for a while, Lai hurried forward to greet him.

"I just arrived too. It seems like the morning exercise went well? You two seem to be in good spirits today."

The sharp-eyed Daigo accurately detected the subtle changes in Naqi, but chose a tactful way.

"It's really good. Thank you for your concern, Dawu."

Holding Lai's arm, Naqi nodded reservedly.

"Well, please come in. Mr. Keen is not here, but there are still a few people in charge. We can communicate with them."

Daiwu turned sideways and guided the two of them into this building that was particularly majestic in Green Ridge City.

A middle-aged man dressed as a researcher was waiting at the door. When he saw the three of them and Jirachi on Lai's shoulder, he immediately stepped forward.

"Mr. Daigo, good morning. These two are Mr. Lai and Miss Naqi you told us about, right? Nice to meet you. I am the head of the Meteorite Research Institute, Zhuo Ye."

"Dr. Zhuo Ye, good morning, thank you very much for your research on the Millennium Comet. If there is anything we can help with, please let us know."

Lai politely stretched out his hand and shook it with Dr. Zhuo Ye.

The four of them walked together to the upper floors of the building, to the work area of ​​the institute.

The establishment of the Green Ridge Universe Center is the result of the cooperation between Keen and Devon. As the future leader of Devon, Dawu is also quite respected here. Along the way, whether they are clerks or researchers, they will nod and say hello when they see him. .

Take the elevator to the fifteenth floor, where the entire floor is the laboratory of the Meteorite Research Institute, conducting various research, including but not limited to the giant meteorite fragments of Meteor Falls, which contain the whereabouts of various cosmic energies Object fragments, as well as the recent hot spot, Millennium Comet fragments.

Dozens of researchers were busily passing through, and the entire space was quiet and orderly.

The four unknowingly lowered their volume and walked towards the area where the Millennium Comet was located. Kiraqi also quieted down obediently, leaning next to Lai, looking left and right with big curious eyes.

······
"The Millennium Comet definitely contains some kind of energy from outer space. We judge that it provides energy by echoing the energy in Jirachi's body, rather than simply replenishing energy."

In the laboratory, standing in front of the extracted trace energy, Dr. Zhuo Ye explained it to the three of them as plainly as possible.

Lai discovered the crux of the problem: "Dr. Zhuoye, you just mentioned echo, do you mean that the main body is still the energy in Jirachi's body, not the energy in the comet?"

"That's the thing. In fact, it's easy to understand. The Millennium Comet almost never enters the orbit of our planet. Only occasionally fragments may fall by chance. How does the energy inside it continue to decay? Down, across space, and injected into Jirachi’s body?”

After speaking, Dr. Zhuo Ye picked up the transparent container on the table where the comet energy was extracted, pointed at the dots of light inside, and added: "The fragment obtained by Mr. Daigo weighs about 300 grams, and the energy here is already in it. Half of it.”

"So, what's the reason why Jirachi has been sleeping for many years?"

Lai already had the answer in his mind, but he wasn't completely sure yet.

Dr. Zhuo Ye nodded and shook his head.

"We are just a guess and have not yet confirmed it. The energy of the Millennium Comet, or something else, will awaken Jirachi's instinct and give it the power to make wishes, but it will also consume huge amounts of energy. It would probably be much better if we didn't have this power, or if we could replenish it regularly."

"How to confirm?" Naqi asked softly.

"If we only rely on energy analysis and theoretical demonstration, it will take a long time. There is also a simple and direct way, which is to let Jirachi receive a trace amount of comet energy stimulation, but it is also possible to make it fall asleep early."

As a researcher, Dr. Zhuo Ye does not intend to lie to the people in front of him.

【Don't sleep! 】

Kiraqi pulled Lai's ear, yelled, and then fluttered behind Lai.

"We can't take such a risk, and now we have the ability to keep it awake. I'm very sorry. If you need help with anything else, you can come to us, but we won't do Jirachi's personal experiment. accept."

Lai stood up and decisively rejected Dr. Zhuoye's proposal.

"Then can we take a little bit of Kiraqi's blood as research material? I think this can also be used for preliminary experiments as evidence for research."

Lai's reaction was not what Dr. Zhuoye expected. Apart from the overwhelming momentum that appeared and disappeared in that moment, his purpose was not to leave Jirachi to conduct experiments, but a simple word.

[No, it hurts! 】

After listening to his words, Jirachi grabbed Rai's hair and refused to let go.

Lai asked in a deep voice: "If you want to draw blood, how much do you want?"

【Don’t draw blood! 】

"You don't need too much, about ten milliliters is enough. The experimental materials we can provide are also very limited." Taking out the experimental plan that had been prepared, Dr. Zhuo Ye reported a number.

"Ten Milliliter" held Jirachi in front of him, and Rai looked at it carefully. "It's acceptable, but you need to make sure that the blood will not flow to other places. The importance of this, Daigo, you should know better."

Dai Wu solemnly expressed his position: "I understand that Devon Company will send a specialist, that is, me, to supervise the whole process. I will completely destroy the remaining blood myself."

【You are all bad people!No toys!Need to draw blood! 】Knowing that it was irreversible, Jirachi sat in Lai's arms, pouting and sulking.

"How come there are no toys? Little Jirachi, how about we buy you some of the latest dolls when we go out?"

Naqi leaned down skillfully and coaxed Jirachi.

【I am angry! 】

"I know you're angry, so how about we ignore those two bad guys and I'll take you to buy toys?" Naqi's tone was soft and persuasive.

【.Should I choose it myself? 】

"You choose! I promise."

【OK then】

······
【Wow! ——】

Holding Jirachi who was crying loudly, Rai gently stroked the little guy's back:

"Little Jirachi, you are the strongest, shall we go buy toys?"

Even powerful fantasy Pokémon cannot escape the fear of injections, the natural enemy of all children.

A small wound that was insignificant compared to the battle, but made little Kiraqi's tears flow uncontrollably.

【Wow! ——Toys. Toys! 】

Still crying, Jirachi remembered the toys promised by the two people in front of him.

After trying all his best in the morning, he found that he still needed to get an injection. Thinking of this, Jirachi felt even more aggrieved.

"Dr. Zhuoye, Daigo, let's go back first. Please take care of the experiment. If you need me to do anything, just ask." Lai turned around and nodded to the two of them.

"The results will be available within a week. Are you waiting in Green Ridge?"

After Daigo and Dr. Zhuoya whispered, they gave a time.

"Please call the illustrated book. Naqi and I are going to the south for special training."

"Okay. When will we leave?"

"There's no need to see us off this afternoon or tomorrow, see you Aiyou."

"Okay, Ayumi. This is a temporary ID card. Just swipe it when you go out."

"Well, thank you."

······
When they went downstairs, little Jirachi finally stopped crying, but a small hand kept tugging on Rai's ear, threatening to throw a tantrum if he didn't fulfill his promise.

For this always sensible little cutie, Lai also held it in the palm of his hand, held it in his mouth to avoid melting, and pampered him so much that he accepted all the conditions he proposed, which made Naqi laugh.

The elevator door opened, and a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old dressed as a clerk walked in silently after the two of them went out.

Logically speaking, working as a clerk at this age is not surprising in the precocious Pokémon world, and there are many 14-year-olds.

However, as he passed by, Lai had a strange feeling, and the power of his heart fluctuated slightly.

On Naqi's waist, the Sonic Dragon also suddenly moved, causing the Poké Ball to vibrate.

Seeing this, Naqi quickly walked to the corner of the hall, an inconspicuous place, and released the sonic dragon.

After some gestures, she took back the sonic dragon, walked to Lai's side, and whispered softly:

"Sonic Dragon means the person who just came from Meteor."

Keane, outer space research, German, meteorites, inheritors.

Crack empty seat.

A series of information is put together, and the answer is ready to come out.

Hijana.

A name suddenly appeared in front of Lai's eyes.

The elevator has quietly stopped at the thirteenth floor, which is the daily office area of ​​the Meteorite Research Institute.

"Leave in no hurry."

After whispering an instruction, Lai closed his eyes and held his breath, releasing the power of his heart without reservation, instantly spreading to all parts of the building, not sparing every corner.

"I found it. It is indeed the Meteorite Research Institute."

After a while, Rai opened his eyes and said to himself.
