When Agatha arrived at Oak Research Lab, the Oak Research Lab outside was still peaceful. No one dared to cause trouble in Pallet Town unless they experienced the power of the original Super Rookie.
Agatha skillfully pushed open the door and entered the research institute. The first thing she saw was a large clock on the table, next to which were a Golden spoon and a strangely shaped cone.
What is this thing?
Don't touch it!
Just as Agatha was about to touch the large clock that looked very old, she heard a voice coming from behind a pile of research reports.
At this moment, a huge stack of research reports was taller than Professor Oak, who was sitting down, completely blocking his view.
Professor Oak quickly stood up when he saw that it was Agatha. He said that the two items should be related to some kind of seal, and he was now trying to find a way to reseal them.
Seal?
Although Agatha didn't understand, seeing Professor Oak's serious expression, she silently lowered her hand.
Agatha quickly noticed something was wrong. She felt that Professor Oak's hair seemed to have thinned a bit in just one month, and he had big dark circles under his eyes.
The other person didn't look like this the last time I saw them.
Professor Oak touched his hair, indicating that his hair had indeed thinned, but that was a question for his apprentice.
Roy?
During this month, Professor Oak has been experiencing a mix of pain and joy. He has already started several unusual research projects based on Roy's Pokémon, including how Primeape learns Rage Fist, the feasibility of Bond Evolution, and why Dusclops isn't hollow...
He's even considering taking a couple of days off now.
Oak Yukinari needs a rest????
Agatha couldn't understand what Roy had done to make Professor Oak, a research fanatic, want to take a vacation.
Looking at the stack of research reports that was as tall as a person, Agatha casually pulled out two of them.
<On whether the Dusclops is hollow or solid inside.>
Experimental subject: Roy's Dusclops
How to absorb Ghost-type energy in Primeape.
Experimental subjects: Roy's Annihilape and the Primeape Leader on the outskirts of Pallet Town.
Unwilling to give up, Agatha continued to flip through several more research reports, most of which focused on Roy's Pokémon.
It can be said that, apart from Snorunt, almost every Pokémon Roy has become Professor Oak's research subject, and each one can be said to be of great research value.
What... what is this?
<On the differences between the Ancient Gengar from 3000+ years ago and the modern Gengar.>
Subject of study: Roy's Ancient Gengar.
Agatha looked at the research report that was at the very bottom of her hand.
What is the Ancient Gengar?
This was the first time that Agatha Christie, the Ghost type Elite Four Agatha, had ever heard the term "Ancient Gengar."
Agatha looked at Professor Oak with the research report in her hand. Professor Oak replied, "Go ask your cheap apprentice and you'll find out what it is."
Roy?
She's only been gone for a little over a month. What exactly happened in that time?
Professor Oak explained to Agatha as he led Agatha toward the backyard of the research institute.
As soon as Agatha stepped outside, she saw Professor Oak's Dragonite, which was still lazily lying on the grass in the backyard.
However, unlike before, Roy's Drakloak perched on Dragonite's head, and the two looked surprisingly harmonious.
"Drolong!"*2
Drakloak and Dreepy, who were on top of him, also greeted Agatha together.
"Abandoned!"
"Extremely popular!"
On the other side, Roy's Annihilape was gathering Ghostly Purple energy in its hand, teaching the Primeape leader how to use Rage Fist. However, the Primeape's Ghost-type energy dissipated before it could even solidify into its fist.
Roy's Annihilape's eyes were filled with murderous intent; its calm and gentle demeanor was only displayed between Roy and Roy's Pokémon.
The glare of the Annihilape's scarlet eyes terrified the Primeape leader, who quickly gathered Ghost-type energy in his fist once more, and this time he succeeded.
However, being able to condense Ghost-type energy in his hand does not mean that Primeape has learned Rage Fist.
The punch that the leader of the Primeape is throwing now is just an ordinary punch carrying Ghost-type energy, and it has nothing to do with the Rage Fist.
Just as Agatha was leisurely strolling with Professor Oak in the backyard of the research institute, Gengar suddenly emerged from Agatha's shadow.
He planned to scare Roy; he hadn't seen Roy in so long and was starting to miss his delicious Ghost Power.
Gengar followed Roy's scent to the Wetland Marsh Zone and saw Roy looking after the children attending summer camp.
Roy is training Snorunt to improve the accuracy of Ice Slam.
Snorunt conjured a small Icicle Spear in each of her hands and Fling at the target Roy had drawn for her in the tree.
Compared to square and spherical ice blocks, Icicle Spear are obviously more damaging, piercing directly into the bullseye of the target on the tree.
Ash and Serena cheered for Snorunt, while Gary held a book of Pokémon Analytic, searching for the Analytic of the move Snorunt.
Ever since Roy told him he should go find something he enjoys, he suddenly felt like he had been quite naive before.
To compare myself to someone as brainless as Ash... I wonder if I've caught Ash.
Seeing that Roy was focused on Analytic the power of the Icicle Spear and hadn't noticed him, Gengar covered his mouth and chuckled. He could already imagine the scene of Roy being startled by him later.
"Ghost!"
Gengar burrowed into the shadows of the trees, moving closer and closer to Roy's shadow.
Just as Gengar was about to slip into Roy's shadow and give him a good scare when Roy turned around, it keenly Frisk that there seemed to be something inside Roy's shadow.
Gengar's first thought was that Roy might be possessed by some ghost or Ghost type that had escaped from the Spirit World. These things like to hide in people's shadows and slowly devour their life force, making them very difficult to detect.
Hey!
How dare they mess with the people he protects?
Gengar, under the shade of the tree, reached its large, purple hand into Roy's shadow. Just as it was about to pull out what was inside Roy's shadow, a large, purple, tattooed hand grabbed its hand.
Then a Gengar, much taller and fatter than him Gengar, with green tattoos, emerged from Roy's shadow and appeared in front of him.
"Ghost~"
Gengar emerged from the shadows of the tree, looking at the much taller Ancient Gengar in front of him, making him look like a Little Fatty.
