"Oh, by the way, Uncle Oda, I recently observed a phenomenon and wrote a paper about it. Could you help me recommend it?" Qing Wu handed the revised paper to Dr. Oda.
"Let me see." Dr. Oda didn't decline. Instead, he took the thick stack of paper from Qing Wu's hand.
The Evolution of Diglett: A Hypothesis, and the Origin of Dugtrio
The title of this paper was related to the evolution experiment Dr. Oda had just wanted to conduct recently. Dr. Oda spent two hours just looking at it. Dr. Oda carefully read the paper written by Qing Wu, and drew and wrote notes on it.
"Creak, creak." Dr. Oda moved his stiff neck.
"Qing Wu, the viewpoints in your paper are very novel. However, it would be better if you had a recording when the Pokémon evolved. That way, there would be more evidentiary material." "It's easier to pass in the journals of the Pokémon Alliance.
The SCI score of your paper could reach even higher. I think at least a 3." Dr. Oda felt it was a pity. {SCI is the weighting for paper ratings; higher weighting means a more valuable paper.}
Dr. Oda only found some grammatical errors and improperly written proper nouns in Qing Wu's paper. Other than that, there were no major flaws.
"I have a recording, a high-definition version." Qing Wu handed a video to Dr. Oda. Dr. Oda inserted it into the computer and opened the 783 screen, seeing the scene of Diglett's evolution.
"Indeed, Qing Wu, according to this video, your hypothesis is very correct. We just need to find a group of Diglett ready to evolve and verify the reproducibility of your paper." Dr. Oda said excitedly.
"Won't that be very cruel? Dugtrio can only be born after a large number of Diglett die," Qing Wu asked. Would Dr. Oda feel cruel when he made the recording?
"Diglett are very serious about harming trees, like parasitic worms. If we don't suppress the growth of parasitic worms, the entire forest might be destroyed by parasitic worms.
If too many Diglett survive, let alone Flying-type Pokémon taking action, even forest rangers will be unable to resist taking action, so don't feel too burdened in your heart."
"It's good that you have a compassionate heart, but you also have to differentiate between targets," Dr. Oda lectured. "Survival of the fittest is the rule of this Pokémon world.
Since you made a recording, you should have caught a Steelix and a Dugtrio, right?" Dr. Oda glanced at Qing Wu. Qing Wu directly pulled out four Poké Balls from his pocket.
"Uncle Oda, there's one Steelix and three Dugtrio inside," Qing Wu explained.
"Good, good, good!" Dr. Oda repeated three "goods."
"Your mother must be smiling in heaven. You have perfectly inherited your mother's research talent. You should still be a breeder, right? I smell a faint herbal fragrance from you." "This is a scent that can only be produced from long-term contact with medicinal ingredients,"
Dr. Oda said, pointing to his nose. "Of course, it's also because I've lived in the wild for a long time that I have such a sensitive sense of smell. Everyone has their own little secrets, so I won't pry."
"When do you plan to publish this paper?" Dr. Oda handed the revised paper to Qing Wu.
After carefully reading it, Qing Wu couldn't help but admire Dr. Oda's profound knowledge. The paper, revised by Dr. Oda, was easy to understand.
"I want Uncle Oda to be a co-author on this paper," Qing Wu stated his purpose.
"You're afraid of being too prominent, so you're trying to hide yourself, right? Alright, I'll be your big tree to protect you. When your wings are full and you no longer need me, I'll specially explain it." Dr. Oda saw through Qing Wu's little trick.
"Oh, by the way, Kilian will be here soon. Why don't you have lunch here and get to know him? After all, he's your father's senior apprentice," Dr. Oda suggested.
"Then I'll bother Uncle Oda a bit more here," Qing Wu said politely.
"Qing Wu, do you want to take the path of a researcher or a trainer?" Dr. Oda asked. After all, a person's energy is limited, and it's easy to overexert oneself by pursuing both paths.
"In the early stage, I want to focus on being a trainer, with research as a supplement. After I accumulate enough experience as a trainer, I'll become a researcher specializing in Pokémon evolution," Qing Wu stated his thoughts.
With the identity of a researcher, Qing Wu could then publish his already known knowledge of Pokémon evolution in the form of a paper, which would directly benefit him.
"Alright, as long as you go out and see more of the world, your research path will broaden, and you'll also be able to observe many unknown phenomena in the wild." "If you publish this paper and your SCI score reaches 3,
you can be directly appointed as an Assistant Researcher." "If your SCI score reaches 5, you can be appointed as a Researcher. After being appointed as a Researcher, you can be affiliated with my research institute." Dr. Oda said to Qing Wu.
"Do you want to give yourself a codename? This is like your pen name, which is very common in researcher circles because some people simply don't want others to know their identity as a researcher," Dr. Oda explained.
Qing Wu had originally wanted to give himself another alias. Where could there be any objection? Qing Wu lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"My codename will be 'Dawn'." Dawn is the morning sun, the first ray of dawn, which also means Qing Wu's new life. Qing Wu wanted to bid farewell to the darkness of his past life and release his own light.
"Dawn, a good name," Dr. Oda knew Qing Wu wanted to say goodbye to the past after hearing this name.
Outside Dr. Oda's laboratory, a person in a red uniform was looking through binoculars at the Pokémon in Dr. Oda's laboratory. "As expected of Dr. Oda. There are so many Pokémon in his laboratory." This person chewed on a bubblegum. Occasionally, he blew a bubble or two.
"If our team can get a rare Pokémon from Dr. Oda's research institute, wouldn't that mean a promotion and a new position as captain? Haha," the man laughed.
"Do you think so, big wolf dog?" The big wolf dog, also jumping on the ground, responded with a bark.
"Earth Wolf Dog, use Bite!" Qing Wu suddenly heard a childish voice as he passed a room. He pushed open the door and saw Ruby practicing Bite.
He saw the Earth Wolf Dog run a short distance, leap high, and bite a frisbee in its mouth. Sapphire was cheering Ruby on by patting her little hands.
"Big brother, did you just get your Pokémon today? Can you have a battle with me?" Ruby's eyes lit up when she saw Qing Wu walk in. Especially when he saw the Treecko following Qing Wu, holding its head and looking sour, he became even more excited. Even Ruby's Earth Wolf Dog's eyes glowed.
"Alright, Treecko, let me see your strength." Qing Wu's heart stirred, and he also wanted to see how strong this Ruby, who would have the title of "strongest battle intuition" in the future, was now.
"Let's go to the courtyard. If we fight here, it's easy to break the furniture. How about we ask Sapphire to be our referee?" Qing Wu said to Sapphire.
"Okay," Sapphire cutely showed two small tiger teeth and laughed loudly, making a silver bell-like sound.
