Chapter 208 - Chapter 208: Stubbornness

Do you know what you're saying, Champion? You're the Champion of the Kanto region; others can only dream of that, yet you want to step down!

I think your brain has been addled by thinking about ramen and research!

After a while of fuming, Charles Goodshow looked at the wilted Professor Oak and sighed.

Alright, once everything is stable, I'll give you time for your research.

Upon hearing Charles Goodshow speak, Professor Oak's eyes immediately lit up. He suddenly pulled out a voice recorder from his hand and laughed heartily:

That's great, I've recorded it.

Charles Goodshow's head was buzzing from Professor Oak's antics, and he'd pulled out several clumps of his beard.

You!!! You're truly infuriating this old man!

After quite a while, they finally returned to the main topic.

Charles Goodshow re-examined Giovanni's previous articles and videos.

This kid, it's only been a year since his last article was published, and he's already made a new discovery. I really don't know how much more he has yet to release.

Compared to Charles Goodshow's concerns, Professor Oak was dismissive, "Why worry so much? In the end, it's all for the Pokémon World and the Pokémon research community."

Charles Goodshow sighed helplessly, "Don't you understand? If he continues like this, his achievements might surpass yours and reach Dr. Westwood's level."

Professor Oak scratched his head, "Isn't that great?"

Charles Goodshow found it a bit difficult to talk to Professor Oak, so he turned to look at the documents that had already been investigated on the computer.

Giovanni? Fifteen, almost sixteen years old, an orphan previously, adopted a few years ago by Madame Boss, a major magnate from Viridian City?

No wonder. Without a large amount of capital, he wouldn't be able to participate in research.

But who is this 'Great Love Research'? There's no information at all.

As he was looking, Professor Oak's head also leaned over. He looked at Giovanni's information and stroked his chin, "He's also a Trainer. He previously challenged the Fighting-type Gym in Saffron City and won. Interesting."

At his mention, Charles Goodshow also noticed and instructed Professor Oak, "Go call Yuichiro and ask if he still remembers him."

"Okay." Professor Oak immediately turned to make the call.

Only Charles Goodshow was left there analyzing, "He was already a high-level Trainer a year ago. During his training, he could still conduct such research. Like Oak, he's a rare genius."

Then he looked at Madame Boss's information, "Oh, he even specifically asked his adoptive mother to buy a few mines? After all, he's a Researcher, and he's smart. And indeed, a large amount of capital is needed, so this isn't a problem."

However, when he saw the time Madame Boss purchased the mines, his eyes lit up again.

He prepared a year ago, which means a year ago, when he published the Yanmega article, he already had results. So the other Evolution Stone he mentioned also exist.

He also smelled a huge business opportunity from this, "No, the League also needs to acquire some mines."

After a while, Professor Oak returned, excitedly telling Charles Goodshow, "Guess what?"

If he hadn't smelled a business opportunity, Charles Goodshow would definitely be fuming again. "Don't beat around the bush, tell me."

Professor Oak then said, "Yuichiro remembers him and says that kid's Pokémon are incredibly strong, and he's very interested in participating in the League Conference."

It just so happens that the League Conference badge collection has just begun recently, plus he also promised me that he would participate in the Researcher Exchange Conference two months later.

If he departs from Viridian City, two months will be just enough time to reach Cerulean City.

Charles Goodshow heard the other meaning in his words, but then again, Professor Oak has a dual identity.

Alright, I understand what you mean. You can go participate in the Researcher Forum Exchange Conference. After all, as the Champion attending such an event, it's beneficial for the League.

You can also take the opportunity to meet this young man.

Professor Oak, who had been worried that Charles Goodshow would refuse, almost jumped for joy, "That's great."

Charles Goodshow thought of this and had another good idea, "Speaking of which, you can tell outsiders that you are his teacher, and that you also participated in his research."

Professor Oak immediately shook his head and refused, "No, I won't do it. He achieved this by his own ability. I won't do such a thing."

You! Charles Goodshow was almost infuriated by Professor Oak, but then he thought, since Professor Oak is publishing on his behalf, isn't he his student?

At least, that's what outsiders would think.

His mouth relaxed slightly, "Alright, then you don't need to worry about it. That's how it is."

Who knew his hidden agenda? Professor Oak was well aware of it. He planned to clarify this issue directly at the exchange conference.

Professor Oak never relied on others, because he himself possessed the strength.

Giovanni's appearance not only didn't make him feel pressured, but instead pushed him to advance even faster.

"Get out, there's nothing for you here." Charles Goodshow felt inexplicably frustrated and waved Professor Oak away, telling him to leave first.

Then he murmured:

If his strength is truly good, then it's not impossible for him to serve as this Gym Leader. Although he's a commoner, with the Researcher's bonus, becoming a Gym Leader can also promote the League.

At the same time, after Giovanni's article and video were published and heavily promoted by the League.

The entire Kanto region was in an uproar.

After all, it was an article published by someone recommended by the Champion, which signified absolute recognition.

This gave Trainers who owned Nidorino and Nidorina renewed hope for improving their strength.

Nidoking, Nidoqueen, not to mention their obviously powerful appearance, even their names were impressive!

Of course, even those with Pokémon of other types were incredibly excited. As long as their Pokémon hadn't evolved twice already, they eagerly awaited Giovanni's next article.

After all, it was only a month!

When the Pokémon truly evolved, in their eyes, this Researcher was simply a god-like existence.

This flame will be buried until the day Giovanni reveals his true identity.

At the same time, Madame Boss's Evolution Stone shop also opened with great fanfare.

Although even the most common quality Evolution Stone cost hundreds of thousands of Poké dollars.

But for those Trainers who had waited many years, whose strength had been stuck for many years, and whose main Pokémon were Nidorino and the like.

This was small change! To reach a higher level, this was just a drop in the bucket!

Trainers of their strength were still very wealthy!
