When Fang Yan rode Latias to Sandgem Town, he found many children gathered in front of Professor Rowan's research institute, and Professor Rowan was standing in the middle of the crowd saying something.
Fang Yan got off Ninetales's back and walked forward with Ninetales. When the group of children saw the tall Ninetales, they unconsciously got out of the way. Fang Yan took advantage of the situation and rescued Professor Rowan.
Professor Rowan cast a grateful look at Fang Yan, then walked out of the crowd and quickly walked into the research institute.
Fang Yan and Ninetales follow closely behind.
Only a few staff members from the Professor Rowan Institute were left at the scene to maintain order.
Fang Yan and Professor Rowan walked on the road leading to the backyard of the institute and asked curiously, "Professor Rowan, are those children the ones who came to take the Starter Pokémon assessment?"
"Partly yes, partially no." Professor Rowan replied.
Partly yes? Partly no? What do you mean?
From Frisk to Fang Yan, Professor Rowan explained, "The process for selecting suitable children in our institute is to register online, or come to our institute in person to register, and wait until the registration deadline. After that, we will first make a preliminary judgment based on the information submitted by their relatives and friends, first have a rough idea in our hearts, and then conduct online conversations or home visits in the following time to gain a deeper understanding of the psychological and physical conditions of some of the registered children."
"Traveling is a very hard and dangerous thing. We must make sure that the children who come to collect are able to adapt to some basic challenges on the road so that they can go further on this road."
"If you think about it carefully, there are children who are about to go on a trip. A child who is in good mental condition and has strong endurance, or a child who is afraid of nights and whose reaction speed is not fast, which one is more suitable for traveling?"
"The latter."
Professor Rowan nodded, "So, we researchers must make all preparations for these children before they go out."
After saying that, Professor Rowan shook his head and continued, "Of course, there is another reason why Starter Pokémon from our institute is not enough."
"Every year, a large number of children sign up, but the number of our Starter Pokémon is far from enough, so we can only select more suitable children and let them come to receive Starter Pokémon."
"Travel is not just a matter for these children alone. Even children with quick reactions, good mental state, and excellent physical fitness will not be able to set foot on Pokémon Journeys if their Pokémon does not listen to themselves."
"Pokémon is just like us humans, with our own emotions and personalities. Some are gentle, but some are extremely violent; some are bold, and some are extremely timid and dare not meet others; some are cautious, but some are extremely reckless."
"So in this process we not only need to select the right child, but also the right Starter Pokémon."
"The Starter Pokémons selected for this group of children are all Pokémons that have just been hatched. At this time, the Starter Pokémons do not have much emotional bias. Their minds are still like a blank piece of paper, so the Starter Pokémons at this time are the most suitable for children."
Professor Rowan led Fang Yan around a corner and continued, "But we can't confirm their personalities before Starter Pokémon hatches, so after they hatch, we need to carefully select some Starter Pokémons with more suitable personalities and teach them some common sense about travel.
"As for the moves - since the time they were born was not very close to the time they were taken away, we can only teach them how to fight."
Having said this, Professor Rowan smiled, and then continued, "The reason why we chose their incubation time shortly before receiving Starter Pokémon is to prevent them from coming into contact with some Pokémon who have experienced the outside environment, which will lead to their emotional bias."
Fang Yan listened carefully to Professor Rowan's words and learned a lot.
He originally thought that the step to receive Starter Pokémon was to go directly to the doctoral research institute to receive it, but it turned out that there were so many things that needed to be dealt with before receiving it.
"After this series of preparations, you can understand why there are so few Starter Pokémons that can be received every year. This is because we need to be responsible for the safety of the group of children who are about to travel. We are also responsible for the group of Starter Pokémon Pokémons. We need to choose a suitable trainer for them, and then live happily together."
"As for the Starter Pokémon that are not suitable for collection, you don't have to worry. They will stay at the research institute. We will teach them how to survive in the wild. Once they master it, we will release them back into the wild and let them return to wild life. We will also welcome the Starter Pokémon who choose to stay."
Seeing Fang Yan listening very seriously, Professor Rowan couldn't help but say a few more words.
He and Professor Oak are very optimistic about Fang Yan, because his attitude towards Pokémon can be seen as a person, not to mention his innate scientific research ability of "discovering problems and asking questions".
His thesis has so far been studied and excavated in depth by countless Pokémon scholars.
Although the main content of the paper was written by him and Professor Oak, "finding problems and asking questions" is always more difficult than "solving problems".
"I understand, Doctor."
Fang Yan nodded slightly towards Professor Rowan, indicating that he had learned.
When we came to the yard, there was a table in the yard with several boxes filled with Poké Ball.
Professor Rowan walked over and motioned to Fang Yan, "These are the most suitable Starter Pokémon we have selected."
Fang Yan Jr. After counting, there are only 29 Poké Ball.
So few?
"Pokémon laying eggs is difficult in itself, especially if the offspring are talented and suitable. From last winter to this summer, the Starter Pokémons in our institute have laid a lot of eggs, 56, and then we can have 29 suitable Starter Pokémons, which is already half of the eggs.
"Then what do we need to do now? Is it to go outside to select suitable children?" Fang Yan asked.
Professor Rowan nodded, "Yes, after talking to them, we will also visit some children's homes. If there are children from far away calling during the process, we will also need to conduct online interviews."
Professor Rowan rubbed his forehead. "It's still very tiring after all this work, so I thought if you could come over and help me."
"No problem. Doctor, just tell me what you need me to do. Just like last autumn, I will still be your assistant?"
Fang Yan said with a smile.
Professor Rowan suddenly remembered that when Fang Yan came to his institute to act as an assistant last year, a smile appeared on his stern face.
"Yes, then I'll leave it to you, Assistant Fang Yan."
"Yes, promise to complete the task, doctor."
After confirming the preparations, Fang Yan followed Professor Rowan and several other assistants to an area of the institute. There were three rooms in the area. Professor Rowan and the other two assistants were sitting on chairs in the room.
Then other assistants will bring in the children waiting outside, divide them into three teams, have them line up neatly at the door of the room, and go in one by one to chat.
Fang Yan was wearing a white coat, standing next to Professor Rowan, listening carefully to the chat between Professor Rowan and the little boy in front of him.
"Which Starter Pokémon is your favorite?"
"Piplup!"
"Oh? Piplup? Penguin Pokémon? It's a very cute Pokémon. Can you tell me why you prefer Piplup?"
"Because I want to be the Water-type master and the Water-type king of Sinnoh Region."
"Oh? You want to be the king of Water-type, our Sinnoh Region? This is a trainer. If you get Piplup, what are you going to do after traveling?"
"Go to the gym and join League Conference!"
"In danger?"
"Run!"
"What happens after losing to someone else?"
"I will come back with Piplup to continue practicing, become stronger, and then defeat him!"
Fang Yan listened to the three rooms and found that the questions asked were not fixed, but were freely used, mainly to confirm whether the mentality of this group of children was suitable for traveling.
The children's health reports will also be checked.
It turns out that Pokémon Professor also studies psychology knowledge.
After a child went out, Professor Rowan looked back at Fang Yan and asked him, "Have you learned it?"
Fang Yan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Maybe."
"Then you try?"
Hearing Professor Rowan's words, Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise:
"Ah? Me? Doctor, are you kidding? This is my first time coming here to study."
"Don't worry, am I still unclear about your vision? If you are really worried, I can stand next to you and check it for you?"
When Fang Yan heard Professor Rowan's words, he hesitated for a moment, and nodded with a learning attitude.
So Professor Rowan stood up and handed the seat to Fang Yan.
The next person who came in was a little girl. She looked at Fang Yan sitting behind the table curiously and blinked her bright eyes.
It seems that he is wondering why it is not Professor Rowan, but a young man.
Fang Yan motioned the little girl to sit down, and after she sat down, Fang Yan started chatting.
Perhaps there is an example of Shauna, and Fang Yan raised a completely opposite question to Professor Rowan.
"Do you like Pokémon?"
"Will you set off with Pokémon?"
"If your beloved Pokémon were by your side, would you feel confident that you could realize your dreams with them?"
After the last question was raised, Fang Yan nodded and looked at Professor Rowan. Professor Rowan did not speak, so Fang Yan asked the little girl to leave.
After the little girl left, Fang Yan stood up and looked at Professor Rowan, feeling a little uneasy and asked, "Doctor, how am I doing?"
Professor Rowan didn't speak, just patted him on the shoulder.
"You have more experience than me in this aspect."
He heard clearly the conversation between Fang Yan and the little girl just now. In the chat with the little girl, Fang Yan allowed the little girl to fully express her heart.
This is a little girl with a very good heart.
"How did you come up with those questions?"
Professor Rowan asked.
Fang Yan answered naturally, "Maybe it's because of Little Shauna.
17
Professor Rowan thought of the little girl from Pokémon Day Care, and then laughed.
"So that's it." Professor Rowan sighed, and then said, "Fang Yan, can I leave the online chat to you?"
Fang Yan was full of confidence at this time, "Of course!"
"Then it's up to you."
"It is my responsibility as your assistant, Doctor."
"Hahahaha."
They were busy until noon. After Gothitelle and Lilligant cooked lunch, they pushed the dining cart in and gave each child a delicious rice bowl. Then they came to Fang Yan, Professor Rowan and others and took out the lunches prepared for them.
Professor Rowan finished lunch and took a short break. He looked at Gothitelle who was clearing away the tableware and couldn't help but said, "I already regret entrusting Gothitelle to you."
Fang Yan laughed when he heard this, poured Professor Rowan a cup of hot tea that Gothitelle had brewed, then picked up his own cup, took a sip, and said, "Then it's too late for you to regret it now, Pokémon Day Care can't lose Gothitelle, just like Sinnoh Region can't lose Lucian--
Same."
Professor Rowan didn't react at first. After carefully considering Fang Yan's words, he couldn't help laughing.
"What you said really makes sense. Sinnoh Region cannot lose the King of Lucian."
After the two chatted for a while, Professor Rowan stood up and said, "We will prepare for a home visit in the afternoon."
Fang Yan was actually quite confused as to why they were not called together to test together. When he asked this question, Professor Rowan's answer caught him off guard.
"Because almost all the children who came today have not signed up."
Looking at Fang Yan's widened eyes, Professor Rowan continued, "But they need this opportunity and they should have this opportunity."
That's it----
Perhaps this is why Professor Oak and Professor Rowan can be respected by all trainers.
Thinking of this, Fang Yan stood up, twisted his neck, and said, "Then let's go now?"
The children who needed home visits all lived in Sandgem Town, but since Professor Rowan chose to walk on foot, Fang Yan was too embarrassed to ride on Ninetales, so he took Ninetales back to Poké Ball, and then walked together to visit Poké Ball.
After visiting half of the children at home, Fang Yan felt like he was dead for a while while walking on the road.
This is probably the day that Ninetales has exercised the most since he evolved.
Usually I am too lazy to walk when I go out, so I either ride Ninetales or Fang Yan who rides Latias. At this time, I was severely hit by the physical fitness of Professor Rowan.
Looking at Professor Rowan's fast pace, Fang Yan couldn't help shouting in his heart: Who is the old man?----
Fang Yan looked up at the sun above his head and swore in a low voice that after going back today, he would definitely exercise well and never lie on the old man's chair fishing all day again. He would definitely walk on his own when he went out!
After finishing speaking, Fang Yan quickly followed Professor Rowan.
The Poké Ball on his waist shook calmly when he heard these words.
Then Latias, who was following invisibly, looked at Fang Yan's leaving figure, thinking about how credible Fang Yan's words were.
How do I feel that what Fang Yan said can be dismissed as fart?
Or is he really hit and will he change?
