Our children? Responsibility!

Fossil research had faced many bottlenecks: deciphering the genetic code, getting the reverse translation process right, and introducing and synthesizing micromolecular substances.

Even the final cultivation of embryos and the survival of mature specimens posed countless problems that were difficult to overcome.

What ultimately solved all of these was Professor Fennel's research into a universal energy source—the energy of "dreams."

Dream energy directly resolved the series of problems that followed deciphering the genetic code. This universal energy could produce the most suitable combinations of trace components and even growth environments, finally perfecting fossil revival.

Of course, all of this depended on deciphering the genetic code first. Without that, even dream energy could not bring ancient Pokémon back into the world.

It was precisely this almost epoch-making research into dream energy that had allowed Fennel to become a professor in the field of Pokémon research at such a young age.

Professor Morohoshi led everyone into a sealed research room equipped entirely with the latest cutting-edge technology.

This was the pinnacle of current fossil research: a complete Fossil Revival Device.

The most conspicuous feature was the enormous display at the front, covered in densely packed, mysterious symbols.

"Is this a genetic code? Anorith's?"

Professor Fennel excitedly studied the string of numbers. "Dian, look! This is what the ancient Pokémon Anorith looks like!"

"Professor... I'm sorry, but my knowledge hasn't reached that level yet."

Dian gave a wry smile. He knew she was not exaggerating; she meant it literally.

Professor-level specialists in fossil research could even reconstruct the likely appearance of ancient Pokémon from their genetic codes and fossil analyses, with extremely high accuracy.

Fennel was so excited because she had already worked backward from this genetic code to piece together the appearance of its owner, Anorith.

That also meant they were
