After hanging up the phone, Shauna sat between Jenny and Nina.
She happily asked Nina if she had come to play with her.
Nina pinched her nose and said, "Of course."
This made Shauna incredibly happy, and she immediately ran to the kitchen with Mime Jr. to make lunch.
Lilligant walked over and sat beside them.
They ate the snacks Shauna had given them first.
Nina took a bite and then said, "It seems someone is truly not at ease at all."
Lilligant covered her mouth and chuckled.
Nina remembered sending him a message today, saying she was on vacation and wanted to rest for a few days, asking him to make more delicious food because she was coming over to eat.
The next second, he told her to come and help Shauna watch the shop.
This guy.
"But Shauna has really changed so much."
Nina secretly glanced at the kitchen behind the counter and whispered in a low voice.
Jenny felt this most deeply.
Lilligant did too.
Meanwhile, Lucas, who had just hung up the phone, was in a very good mood.
Unbeknownst to him, Shauna was already able to help him.
My lovely little Shauna.
Lucas was filled with emotion, then sighed with relief and clamped his legs.
Rapidash sped up.
Soon, they arrived at Professor Rowan's Research Institute.
As soon as he entered the Research Institute, Lucas saw the Starter Pokemon in a free-for-all.
The Researchers nearby were trying to break up the fight, some even getting caught in the crossfire.
Just then, a Bubble Beam flew towards Lucas.
Gothorita's eyes lit up, and a Light Screen appeared in front of him, blocking the Bubble Beam.
"Gengar."
Lucas called out Gengar's name.
As Gengar came above them, he spread his hands and pressed downwards.
All the Starter Pokemon lay on the ground, unable to move.
"Lucas— — — —Shopkeeper Lucas— — — —"
∑(AQ|II)
"Gengar!"
Lucas quickly told Gengar to stop.
Gengar also opened his mouth wide.
"gengar sound— — — —"
Sorry!
The Researcher got up from the ground, straightened his clothes, and waved his hand at the constantly apologizing Gengar, indicating it was fine.
Then, just as he was about to speak, he noticed a Chimchar's tail flame suddenly flared up, and it used Flame Wheel towards Lucas.
Blaze?
Lucas watched the Flame Wheel coming towards him.
Dash stood in front of Lucas, blocking it, then lowered his waist.
He took a deep breath.
Seeing this movement, Lucas immediately felt that something bad was about to happen.
"Da— — — —li"
Boom!
Dash unleashed a Focus Punch.
The Chimchar flew out like a kite with a broken string.
The wall behind it was also punched through.
Looking at the wall with a large hole.
Researcher: — — — —
Lucas: — — — —
Dash: "Nika!"
He bared his teeth and gave a thumbs-up.
Lucas clutched his forehead in pain.
His wallet had shrunk again.
Researcher: Maybe we should tell Professor Rowan to let Shopkeeper Lucas go back— — — —
Other Starter Pokemon: — — — —
Lucas looked over, and they were all sitting obediently on the ground, heads down.
They didn't dare to move.
Just then, Professor Rowan walked over, looking at the large hole in the wall, the unconscious Chimchar, and the remaining Starter Pokemon sitting honestly on the ground.
He was full of questions.
After listening to his assistant's explanation, Professor Rowan understood the whole story.
He waved his hand, telling Lucas not to worry about the compensation.
Lucas looked at Dash, who knew he had done something wrong and was reflecting with his head down.
He gently shook his head.
After all, they were his Breeding House's Pokémon, so he, as the owner of the Breeding House, should be the one to pay.
Professor Rowan no longer refused.
Lucas walked over to Dash and squeezed the muscles on his arm.
"You're getting stronger and stronger, Dash."
"Nika?"
Dash raised his head.
He knew that after living in the Breeding House for so long, he had somewhat forgotten his previous wandering life, which made him a little complacent now.
Lucas smiled, "It's okay, it's okay. We have money to compensate, and getting stronger is a good thing."
"Don't worry, you are family in the Breeding House. As the head of the family, I am responsible for anything you do."
After comforting Dash, Dash's mood improved.
"Nika!"
Next time, I won't be so complacent! I will control my strength!
Professor Rowan nodded repeatedly at this scene.
Lucas's feelings towards Pokémon were truly consistent.
Then he looked at the Gothorita beside him.
If it weren't for Lucas, this excellent Gothorita might have been an assistant at his Research Institute.
Putting these thoughts aside, Professor Rowan looked at Lucas and said, "A few Starter Pokemon have run away from the Research Institute. If possible, I hope you can help me find them, because a group of Trainers will come tomorrow to pick up these Starter Pokemon."
Lucas nodded after hearing this.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Lucas."
Professor Rowan said seriously, "The number of Starter Pokemon and Trainers corresponds, so I'm entrusting this to you. The Research Institute staff will cooperate with you."
"After finding these Starter Pokemon, you might also need to help take care of them. I see they seem very obedient in front of you."
Starter Pokemon: — — — —
How could they not be obedient? One punch and they're out cold.
Lucas and Gengar exchanged glances, the reasons for which were inconvenient to elaborate on.
After hearing Professor Rowan's request, Lucas took Gengar and the others out of the Breeding House.
"Doctor, why does it have to be him to help search? Haven't we found them ourselves before?"
Listening to his assistant's words, Professor Rowan looked at the figures of Lucas and Gengar walking and bickering.
"I want the Trainers who come tomorrow to learn from Lucas."
The assistant looked puzzled, but then saw Professor Rowan, who had already left.
He hesitated for a moment, then followed Lucas.
He wanted to see what there was to learn from Lucas.
Leaving the Research Institute, Lucas asked Staraptor to fly in the sky to help search.
According to the assistant's introduction, all the Research Institute's Starter Pokemon would have the Research Institute's mark.
That made things easier.
Lucas told Staraptor to circle in the sky for a while if it saw a Starter Pokemon, and he would rush over on Rapidash immediately.
Under Lucas's "persuasion," all the Starter Pokemon safely returned to the Research Institute.
After counting the number with the assistant, Lucas, led by the assistant, began to deal with their daily needs.
Including the collection conditions to be aware of another day.
Wearing a white lab coat, Lucas, with the decorative glasses Gengar handed him, looked quite like a teacher.
After understanding his general tasks, Lucas found time to call the Breeding House.
Shauna's face appeared in the center of the screen, and Lucas saw Nina and Jenny behind the screen.
He informed them about his stay at the Research Institute today.
Nina said she would take good care of Shauna, and Shauna also reassured Lucas that she would watch over the Breeding House.
Lucas encouraged Shauna, specifically praising her performance today.
Shauna happily held her little head high.
She looked incredibly proud.
This brought joyous laughter from everyone and all the Pokémon.
Among them, Lucas was the most gratified.
Nothing was more surprising than seeing Shauna's transformation.
Even if the style seemed a bit off.
But it was better than the initial state of self-isolation.
After chatting for a while, Lucas hung up the phone and took Gengar and the others to tour Professor Rowan's Research Institute.
His Breeding House was already quite large, but it still couldn't compare to Professor Rowan's Research Institute.
Looking at it this way, is Professor Oak's Research Institute backyard even bigger?!
