Behind the building lay a cliff, with surging waves constantly crashing against the rocks.
"Hello? Is anyone here?"
Ye Qing stood at the entrance and called out. It was better not to enter a research institute like this without its owner's permission.
Otherwise, if you happened to stumble across something confidential, you would probably be taken in for questioning.
"Who are you?"
A young woman in her early twenties with a ponytail walked out of the institute.
Ye Qing replied, "My name is Ye Qing. Professor Qian sent me."
"Ah-cha!"
Infernape chimed in too.
Realization dawned on the girl, and she smiled as she invited him in. "Ye Qing? Please come in.
I'm the doctor's assistant. Just call me Xiao Ruan."
"Squirtle, Squirtle!"
A Squirtle poked its head out of the pond, cautiously studying Ye Qing and Infernape.
Xiao Ruan led Ye Qing inside. "By the way, you're here to revive an Ancient Pokémon, right? Did you bring everything?"
Ye Qing nodded and took a palm-sized piece of amber from his bag.
"Oh, it's amber. That should be fine, then."
He followed Xiao Ruan into a laboratory filled with all kinds of instruments.
A woman in her forties was looking through information at a computer.
Xiao Ruan walked over to her side and reminded her softly, "Doctor, Ye Qing is here."
"Ye Qing?"
Jin Yan turned and adjusted her glasses. When she saw Ye Qing, she stood up with a smile. "Meeting you in person is better than hearing about you. Professor Qian often mentioned you before.
His recent research has been progressing in leaps and bounds thanks to your help, hasn't it?"
Ye Qing rubbed his nose and replied, "I only provided some information. Professor Qian did most of it on his own."
Jin Yan interrupted with a chuckle.
