Unable to lay a hand on the Orbs, the researchers' faces were filled with regret.
Heiduo, however, felt that coming up here had been an extremely wise decision.
Down below, he had repeatedly told these people not to touch anything, but even so, someone had still reached out.
Why?
Simple. It was not merely itchy fingers—it was curiosity toward the unknown.
The thirst for knowledge.
Among the seven or eight researchers present, quite a few possessed astonishing knowledge and ability. The source of the honor and fame they had earned was precisely that curiosity that never faded.
Because they remained curious at all times, they could keep improving, keep discovering new things, and apply them to every field, contributing to humanity.
The Pokémon world had so much black technology partly because of the wonders only Pokémon could create, and partly because of the existence of these researchers.
No matter what world they were in, people like them were a major driving force behind societal progress.
So, expecting a few empty words to make them give up on studying the Orbs—their enthusiasm for uncovering the Orbs' secrets—was undoubtedly unrealistic.
In short, they were all mad scientists.
In fact, most scientists in the Pokémon world had a little of the crazy scientist in them, much like Blaine, Old Man Fuji, and so on.
They would stop at nothing to gain new knowledge.
Like Professor Mai earlier. Perhaps Heiduo had pressured her into it, but when she saw a Marshtomp with strange Gastro Acid, had she not also become curious and competitive? She had forgotten entirely where she was and that fighting was still going on outside.
Heiduo had specifically come to the top because he feared they would not heed the warning and that Yujian would not take it seriously enough.
"Haha!
