November 25.
"This year's Research Forum Summit was a great success."
It wasn't just the summit that had been successful. This had been a successful year for Cynthia, too.
Cynthia's research report had won the Silver Award.
Although it wasn't the Gold Award, she was already more than happy.
This was a research report Cynthia had completed entirely on her own, without her grandmother's help.
It had nothing to do with Li Wei, either. The contents of the Plates she later asked him to translate weren't part of this report.
After all, the summit's participants included leading figures in the field like Professor Oak, Professor Rowan, Professor Sycamore, and her grandmother, Professor Carolina.
Professor Sycamore only looked young. In reality, he was already over forty.
In the field of Mega Evolution, Professor Sycamore was unquestionably the leading expert. No one else was even close.
Unfortunately, he was so handsome that most people only noticed his looks, calling him things like the most handsome professor.
In reality, he was an extremely authoritative figure in research.
There were also people like Professor Elm, Professor Birch, Bill, and Professor Oak's cousin, Samson Oak...
And there was only one Gold Award each year.
All in all, the competition at the Research Forum Summit was no less fierce than the competition to become a regional Champion. It might even have been tougher.
Because just as Red stood at the pinnacle of Trainers,
there was also a towering peak in the field of research.
Professor Oak-Samuel Oak.
He wasn't the longest river just yet, though...
Because Professor Rowan was a little older.
As a researcher, she had to be precise.
Other professors and researchers spent most of their time on research. As for Champions like her who also pursued research...
There was only Blue from Kanto.
