At the New Core Research Institute, inside the Rotom cultivation room.
"Doctor Chen!"
Mu Yun swiped the access card Chen He had prepared for him and made his way into the laboratory without a hitch.
He soon spotted Chen He in front of the equipment.
Gong Hong had wanted to come take a look too, but something had come up, leaving just the two of them.
"Xiao Yun, you're here!"
Chen He greeted him with a smile.
The prospect of exploring the Data World and Life Data seemed to have him in high spirits.
"This is the new nutrient tank. Have your Rotom get ready."
The new tank was noticeably larger than the previous cultivation vessel, and it had twice as many energy transmission lines.
Clearly, Chen He wanted to avoid another overload.
"Xiao Wu, it's up to you now."
Mu Yun patted the phone at his waist, and Xiao Wu flew out of it.
The supercomputer took up too much space, so Mu Yun usually had Xiao Wu stay in his phone.
"Roto~~"
Xiao Wu darted into a line and followed it straight into the pale blue nutrient solution inside the tank.
Once Xiao Wu was in position, Chen He directed his Pokémon through the final preparations.
Early in his career, Chen He had not specialized in the Psychic Type. He had been a powerful Steel Type Trainer.
Only later had he raised several Psychic Type Pokémon for his experiments.
After more than twenty years of training, backed by the resources he had gained after making a name for himself, even the Pokémon he kept as research assistants were high-level.
The lowest-level one was a Rotom at Peak Gym Leader Level.
The rest were all at Elite Four Level.
One was even a Metagross at Peak Elite Four Level.
