When someone asked him a question, Professor Sycamore didn't refuse and gave a friendly smile.
"Classmate, if you ask, I'll definitely tell you if I know the answer."
"I'm wondering if it's possible for Pokémon has already completed its final evolution to evolve again through some kind of medium?"
Roy asked the question with a look of curiosity.
Just as Cynthia, who was working as Professor Rowan's assistant, was about to refute Roy, saying that it had already evolved to its final form, so how could it evolve again? The question itself was flawed.
Before she could refute him, she found that Professor Sycamore beside her was stunned.
"Certainly...
He clenched his hands tightly, trying to answer but finding that he couldn't make a sound no matter what he did.
Even Professor Rowan was taken aback when he heard Roy's question.
Roy had asked the same question when he first took over as manager of Professor Sycamore.
This is also why he chose to coach Professor Sycamore temporarily.
The others also turned their gazes to Professor Sycamore, following Professor Rowan's.
After a moment's thought, Professor Sycamore glanced at the many eyes on him from below the stage, slowly loosened his clenched hands, and finally gave his answer:
Regarding the realm of Pokémon Evolutions, I would say that Pokémon are a species with infinite possibilities. The idea of a certain medium isn't necessarily accurate; as long as the Pokémon Trainer and their Pokémon can trust each other, however, regarding the issue of evolution...
The subsequent lengthy theoretical discussion was essentially meaningless; when academics engage in evasive maneuvering, it's simply impossible to find a solution.
Roy didn't press the matter further; since the other party didn't want to talk about it, asking would be pointless.
He smiled and said "I understand" before stepping back.
Since he already knows the answer, why should he care so much?
After Roy left, the others turned their attention back to Professor Rowan and continued asking the same questions.
Cynthia noticed that Professor Sycamore, standing behind the stage, looked inexplicably dejected. Had she asked the wrong question?
After the exchange meeting ends
Professor Sycamore, looking dejected, approached Professor Rowan, who was organizing documents, and hesitated before saying:
"Teacher...
"Um?"
"I want to go to the Kalos Region."
Have you finally made a decision?
Professor Rowan paused, not looking at Professor Sycamore, but continuing to organize his research report.
"Um."
This was actually the last time he accompanied Professor Rowan on an outing; the question that boy had just asked had touched on his own heart.
What he really wanted to tell Roy was that it was possible! It definitely was possible!
However, he currently lacks evidence to prove his claims, which is also a unique area of his future research.
He had previously searched through some ancient books and found some information about Pokémon Evolutions, but the source of the ancient books was the Kalos Region, which is opposite Sinnoh.
Furthermore, an elderly man has recently been building Tower of Mastery in Shalour City in the Kalos Region, claiming that he knows the secret to allowing Pokémon to evolve again.
However, the old man was considered a fraud by the Pokémon League officials and many others, so there were very few related reports. It was thanks to him that he kept asking people to find out more information.
But all signs indicate that a final answer awaits them there.
So he decided to go to the Kalos Region.
Perhaps... somewhere he might actually find an answer?
Even if it's fake, I should at least go and see it for myself.
Professor Rowan did not stop his student. Professor Sycamore appeared calm, but in reality, his inner self was far from what he seemed.
Constantly forcing someone to follow your theories will only mold them into your own shape; it's better to let them try things out for themselves.
Even if we fail, so what? Youth is their greatest asset.
Moreover, he can also cover for the other party; otherwise, what's the point of having a teacher like him?
"There are indeed rumors in the Kalos Region about the possibility of Pokémon evolving again, but these have been blocked by the Kalos League. As for their accuracy, we don't know. That's all I can tell you."
Also, I'll leave after the exchange meeting between the two regions is completed.
Is the Kalos League blocking the news?
"I understand, teacher."
Just as Professor Rowan was about to give his students a few more words of advice, Professor Birch arrived at the preparation room behind the auditorium.
"Professor Rowan, come quick, I have something good to show you."
Before Professor Rowan could speak, Professor Rowan Professor Birch him to the back of the Rustboro Academy to see Roy's overweight Dusclops.
Professor Rowan didn't think much of it at first, but when Dusclops fell from its Poké Ball to the ground, causing the ground to tremble...
Professor Rowan's expression turned serious.
Professor Birch was standing nearby, even encouraged Professor Rowan to try Roy's training methods.
As it turned out, Professor Rowan Detect his plan immediately and said that he would only go if Professor Birch put the rope on.
Professor Birch had just been wriggling his back a couple of days ago, repeatedly refused.
Realizing his behavior was too childish, Professor Rowan stopped arguing with Professor Birch and instead asked Roy:
"Roy, did your Dusclops experience any special circumstances during its evolution?"
There definitely is, but neither the Plate nor his own Ghost Power is easy to explain.
But he doesn't need to explain anymore.
Professor Birch, whose main research focuses on the impact of Pokémon ecology on Pokémon, immediately retorted:
Professor Birch: "What evolution? It must be because of the ecology around the Dusclops that he's so heavy now!"
Professor Rowan: "Ecology? Tell me about ecology. How does it change? Don't drag ecology into everything."
Professor Birch: "I... I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out after a while of research."
"Cut..."
The two PhD students were arguing about why the Dusclops was so heavy.
Cynthia found it amusing to watch the two regional professors arguing like children, so she took out her Communicator and snapped a picture.
Upon learning that Roy was a Ghost type Pokémon Pokémon Trainer and that he welcomed anyone to study his Ghost type Pokémon, Professor Rowan immediately decided to move from the Academy's reception area to Roy's villa.
Like Professor Rowan Professor Birch Yamanashi has done relatively little research on Ghost type Pokémon, and there aren't even any areas in Sinnoh where Ghost type Pokémon congregate.
The Mediterranean Director was on the verge of tears when he saw Professor Rowan move into Roy's villa, but fortunately he was already used to it, so he just let him move.
As long as you're still in the Academy, that's fine.
This exchange will likely last about two weeks, meaning he'll have two weeks to study Roy's Ghost type Pokémon.
Seeing that his teacher had moved into Roy's villa, Professor Sycamore shamelessly followed suit and moved in as well. After his teacher's encouragement, he solemnly addressed Roy:
"Excuse me, Roy, I will definitely give you an answer to your question later."
Seeing that the entire Sinnoh research team was moving to Roy's place, and realizing that it wasn't quite right for her to be the only female assistant, Cynthia chose to stay in the villa hosted by the Academy.
Roy's villa instantly became lively.
After Professor Rowan moved in, Roy revealed his true form, saying that research was fine, he could do whatever he wanted, but he also had to come and be a guest on Dr. Yamanashi's live stream.
After thinking it over, Professor Rowan agreed. It was no different from a press conference, which he was used to. Besides, Professor Birch had already agreed, so he had nothing to worry about.
It was definitely not because those two High-level Elite Four level Gengar and Arbok were constantly watching him.
After studying it all night, neither of them could figure out why the Dusclops was so heavy, and they remained at their own conclusions.
