At home.
Li Wei gave his cousin, Vera, the Jaw Fossil.
He fabricated the Jaw Fossil's origin, claiming it was given to him by a mountaineer he met while traveling.
Although a bit far-fetched, considering Li Wei's consistent luck, they didn't doubt it too much.
Because people who give gifts like that do exist.
As for Rui Xi, who could be a great detective, she stated that although she saw through Li Wei's lie, she felt there was no need to expose him.
Under everyone's gaze, Li Wei took out the heavy ancient stone statue.
This statue was not small, about 50 centimeters tall, a bust of a crowned female.
When Vera, Li Wei's cousin, saw this ancient stone statue, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Although she couldn't immediately determine its origin, Vera could tell that this ancient stone statue was definitely not a replica.
Vera examined it carefully for a long time, finally shaking her head, "I don't know the origin of this statue yet; I'll have to ask my teacher or Grandma Akebono."
"I'll ask for you when I go back."
Since Vera didn't know either, Li Wei decided to temporarily use it as a decoration, placing it in a prominent position.
The system didn't have any special markings, so perhaps this ancient stone statue was simply a decoration.
Or perhaps it was a collectible.
For example, a very valuable collectible.
...
September 1st.
It was the day children started school.
The Breeding Center became much quieter because all the children had gone to school, and no one came to play there anymore.
But as soon as dusk, when school let out, it would once again be full of life.
Li Wei had packed early this morning, preparing to drive to Sandgem Town with his cousin, Diancie, and Lucario.
His grandfather and father fully supported Li Wei's help with Professor Oak and Professor Rowan's research this time.
It wasn't to curry favor with Professor Oak.
Given his grandfather's relationship with Professor Oak... it was more like the food-loving Professor Oak currying favor with his grandfather.
They simply believed that understanding more about the relationships between Pokemon and thoroughly investigating them was something a Breeder should do.
Breeders also need to Charge, after all.
A deeper understanding of Pokemon and their relationships would be of immense Helping Hand to a Breeder's work.
"Let's go!"
"Arcanine, you can run by yourself."
Sandgem Town is not far from Jubilife City; it can even be considered a suburb of Jubilife City, similar to Floaroma Town in the north.
This distance was nothing for Arcanine.
"Woof!" (ー_ー)!!
To systematically research the relationship between Carbink and Diancie, Li Wei had transmitted thirty Carbink to Professor Rowan early this morning.
Professor Rowan had already received them by now and was probably still suffering from headaches due to the noisy Carbink.
Those Carbink, except for a few older ones, were all terrifyingly energetic.
All day long, they either played or caused mischief.
It was a good thing they were digging their own homes.
Incidentally, they really did dig into a mineral vein.
Li Wei wasn't surprised by this.
Because there was a mineral vein in Wuyin Mountain further east.
Jubilife City had another name:
The mountain city built on a mineral vein.
Jubilee City also developed because of the mineral vein,
But now it has become a tourist and commercial city.
Sandgem Town is a coastal town famous for its coastline, sea views, and beaches,
But the most famous thing here is undoubtedly the Shanli Research Institute, where Professor Rowan is located.
Today, the people of Sandgem Town subtly felt a different atmosphere.
Professor Oak, Qinglv, and even Dr. Platanus from the Kalos region gathered at the Shanli Research Institute.
They speculated, "Perhaps some news that will shake the Pokemon research world is about to be released?"
After all, this was a topic jointly researched by Professor Oak, Professor Rowan, and Dr. Platanus.
At this moment, at the Shanli Research Institute.
Professor Oak, Professor Rowan, and Dr. Platanus were panting and sweating profusely...
Because they had just finished catching Carbink.
These Carbink were simply too fast.
If it weren't for the experienced and steady Carbink speaking up, Professor Rowan and the others wouldn't have caught them.
Professor Oak laughed heartily, "We're all getting old! Haha."
Dr. Platanus also shook his head,
"Even I am no longer young."
Professor Rowan laughed so hard his beard trembled, "I, the oldest one here, haven't even spoken yet."
"...."
Qinglv couldn't get a word in.
Among these four, he was the only one who wasn't a Doctor.
But this was normal; the youngest of the three Doctors, Dr. Platanus, was also over forty years old this year.
In the Pokemon research world, those who can become Doctors before the age of thirty are few and far between.
Especially today, when most research results, such as Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, and Dynamax, have already appeared and are being used in competitions.
It is very difficult for researchers to shock the world.
But it's not entirely impossible.
The world is vast, and there are many unknown Pokemon.
Even Dr. Platanus cannot guarantee
that there are only a few dozen Mega Evolution Pokemon.
In the future, more Pokemon capable of Mega Evolution will be discovered.
Just like Professor Oak, who has already apologized to the entire nation, he is still constantly researching Pokemon.
The world is vast, and there are still many Pokemon waiting to be discovered.
They gathered here today to research the relationship between Carbink and Diancie.
They learned about the relationship between Carbink and Diancie from an ancient text.
To summarize, there were two keywords:
A place rich in Fairy aura.
Among the Carbink population in underground mineral veins.
The ancient text only recorded the relationship between Carbink and Diancie but did not explain how Diancie was born.
This was the problem Professor Oak, Professor Rowan, and Dr. Platanus jointly wanted to solve.
After Li Wei caught Diancie and sent the Pokedex data to Professor Rowan, Professor Rowan planned today's meeting.
He immediately invited Professor Oak, a leading figure in Pokemon research and his academic junior.
Then he invited Dr. Platanus from the Kalos region, who had the most Carbink and researched Mega Evolution.
As for who had the greatest contribution to this topic?
They didn't care.
As long as they could successfully research the relationship between Carbink and Diancie, they would be satisfied.
"This is by no means a simple evolution or regional form."
"I believe the keyword is 'among the Carbink group,' which might be called group evolution or group birth."
Professor Rowan's first thought was,
"A sufficient number of Carbink combine to become Diancie, just like Magnemite and Magneton."
While Professor Oak didn't completely deny it, he didn't agree with this idea.
"Whether it's Magneton, or Dugtrio and Vanilluxe, they all retain their original characteristics after combining..."
"But Diancie and Carbink..."
While they were discussing,
Li Wei and Diancie arrived.
