The stir Yong had caused was far from over.
When two research reports bearing his name were uploaded to the Pokémon League, they immediately caused an enormous sensation in academic circles and drew the attention of almost every professor. After more than a year, the name Shiyan Yong was once again firmly etched into certain people's minds!

Would they have a single type or two types?
Would it be their primary type or
