After spending an afternoon and an evening visiting all the children at home, Fang Yan went back to Pokémon Day Care to take a bath, eat dinner and then fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Fang Yan rode Ninetales from Pokémon Day Care after breakfast, and the destination was Professor Rowan Research Institute of Sandgem Town.
"Didn't you say you were going to walk from today on?"
Latias saw Fang Yan riding Ninetales and asked curiously.
"What? Who said that?"
"You."
"When did I say that?"
"Yesterday, didn't you say yesterday that you would start exercising today?"
"Ninetales, did I say it?"
Ninetales ignored Fang Yan.
Fang Yan could only scratch the back of his head when he saw this, "How can the words you said yesterday count for today? People have to look forward."
Latias:???
Ha, I knew it.
Latias rolled his eyes, and then hid his figure.
Ninetales began to accelerate slowly, running on Day Care Road leading to Sandgem Town.
"Good morning, doctor."
Fang Yan got off Ninetales's back, took Ninetales back to Poké Ball, and said hello to Professor Rowan who was standing at the door.
"Good morning, Fang Yan, you came just in time." Professor Rowan also said hello to Fang Yan, and then said, "We are just about to confirm the list of people who will receive Starter Pokémon."
Fang Yan was a little surprised and asked, "Is it so fast?"
"It's not fast. Next week is the day to receive Starter Pokémon. We must hurry up."
Fang Yan nodded and followed Professor Rowan into the research institute.
Arriving at the office area, Professor Rowan handed a folder to Fang Yan.
"These are the number of people we have initially counted, but they are still a few more than the number of Starter Pokémon. Now we need to discuss which children among them should be given this batch of Starter Pokémon."
Professor Rowan said, "We will let them come and collect the rest after the next batch of Starter Pokémon are hatched and the suitable Starter Pokémon are selected."
One of the assistants said, "The most difficult decision every time is this. Although the next batch of Starter Pokémon will be taken away after they are hatched, who doesn't want to get their own Starter Pokémon early?"
17
"Who says it's not the case? Every time I look at their expectant eyes, I can't bear to reject them.
In fact, every month, Professor Rowan's research institute will hatch some Starter Pokémons. They will select suitable Starter Pokémons from the Starter Pokémons hatched later, and then let the first batch of children who have not received Starter Pokémons but meet the travel standards come and take them away.
Although these selected children will all receive Pokémon as expected, even the eliminated children will also have the opportunity to receive Starter Pokémon after being trained.
But who doesn't want to get it early? Every extra day of waiting is just one more day of torture for these children who can't wait to travel.
Children are most likely to be competitive with each other, especially those who live in the same place.
We obviously qualified together, but you went on a trip one step ahead of me. This is the greatest torture in the world for another child.
"There are only so many Starter Pokémons, what can we do?"
Professor Rowan shook his head, and then said, "Okay, let's start your selection. In half an hour, we will unify the data and select the children with the most votes, and let them come to receive Pokémon next week."
Fang Yan nodded, and then began to select a suitable child according to Professor Rowan's requirements.
Half an hour later, everyone handed in the results, and then Professor Rowan began to count the votes. Unexpectedly, there were no last few with the same number of votes, so the first batch of people to receive Starter Pokémon were quickly determined.
"Fang Yan, let's go and announce the list together."
Professor Rowan stood up with the bill and said to Fang Yan, "It's probably best for us to come forward in this kind of thing."
Fang Yan nodded, followed Professor Rowan, and walked out.
Looking at the expectant children sitting in the hall, Professor Rowan sighed, and then read out his name.
The children whose names were not read gathered around Fang Yan and Professor Rowan, asking why they were not chosen.
Professor Rowan patiently explained it to them, and then continued to promise that if there was the next batch of hatched Starter Pokémon, they would come and collect it.
After hearing Professor Rowan's answer, some children chose to leave, but some children still stayed in the institute.
Among them is the little girl Fang Yan asked yesterday.
Fang Yan walked up to her and was about to assure her that she would receive the next batch of Starter Pokémon. Before she could say anything, she heard the little girl's voice.
"Why----"
The little girl's voice was so small that Fang Yan couldn't hear it clearly for a while.
"What?"
"Why? Why didn't you choose me? I obviously passed the test."
The little girl raised her head stubbornly and stared at Fang Yan, her eyes filled with tears, "Obviously I am also very good----obviously I also want to go on a trip with Pokémon----"
"Obviously I also want to be like the Cynthia champion----become----an excellent trainer----"
After finishing speaking, the little girl lowered her head, and her tears fell on the floor, making a large area wet.
Fang Yan fell into silence upon seeing this.
After a long time, he squatted down, handed out a tissue to the little girl in front of him, let her wipe her tears, and then said, "I promise you, after the next batch of Starter Pokémon is hatched, you will be the first to receive it, okay?"
"But----but grandma already----can't wait any longer----"
When the little girl said this, she started crying again.
"Grandma likes me the most. She has been waiting for me to become a trainer and receive her favorite Pokémon----I----
Although my parents haven't told me, I know that grandma--she can't wait that long--"
Fang Yan Hearing these words, his heart seemed to be suddenly hit, and he fell into a sluggish state.
By the time he came to his senses, the little girl had lowered her head, turned around and was about to leave the institute.
"Is it okay if it's not Starter Pokémon?"
The little girl turned her body back and looked at Fang Yan, as if she was wondering if he was talking just now.
Seeing the little girl looking at him, Fang Yan showed a gentle smile and said softly, "I mean, if the Pokémon you can receive is not Starter Pokémon, is that okay?"
"What?" When the little girl heard Fang Yan's words, her face was full of doubts. She stared at Fang Yan with red eyes and asked what Fang Yan meant.
"I am the boss of Pokémon Day Care. If you really want a Pokémon now, I can choose a suitable Pokémon for you, but it is not Starter Pokémon. Is that okay?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and then shook her head.
"I----I have no money----"
After speaking, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"It doesn't cost any money."
The girl raised her head and looked at Fang Yan who was still squatting half-crouched, her eyes filled with confusion.
Fang Yan smiled, pointed at himself, and then pointed at Professor Rowan beside him.
"Do you know? Professor Rowan is Pokémon Professor, and I am also Pokémon Professor, so he can let you receive Starter Pokémon for free, and I can also let you receive Pokémon for free, but it is not Starter Pokémon.
"C--is it okay?"
"Wait a moment."
After Fang Yan finished speaking, he stood up, walked to Professor Rowan, and explained the details to him. After listening to Fang Yan's thoughts, Professor Rowan glanced at the little girl and nodded. He asked Fang Yan: "Which Pokémon are you going to choose for her?"
"How about Shinx? It has similar racial value to Starter Pokémon. It also has two stages of evolution, and it is also a Pokémon that protects the weak."
"Shinx------the final form is Luxray, is it your Pokémon Day Care Luxray?"
Fang Yan nodded, "Yes, it and its tribe laid a lot of eggs in Pokémon Day Care, but it entrusted its own offspring to me and asked me to help them find some suitable humans, so I thought--"
"If possible, I can select the suitable ones from the Shinxs that are about to hatch, and then let her take them away."
"You also know that the Luxray of Pokémon Day Care has always been jealous of evil and hates bullying the weak Pokémon. Moreover, it is the Pokémon that has lived with our Pokémon Day Care for a long time. Its strength and character are trustworthy, and its offspring should not be too bad."
"If it's its descendant----that's fine." Professor Rowan thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Actually, the trainer's Starter Pokémon is not necessarily Starter Pokémon. They can choose their favorite Pokémon, if there is a way to capture it."
"The reason why our doctors in each region choose to receive Starter Pokémon is because Starter Pokémon's character is generally docile, and its strength will be relatively strong after it finally evolves. It is very suitable for the training of novice trainers."
"The reason why it's free----" Professor Rowan smiled, the answer is self-evident.
"These are all done voluntarily by us doctors. We are worried about the safety of these children, so we repeatedly select among Starter Pokémon to select the most suitable individuals."
"You are the boss of Pokémon Day Care. If you want to do this, you don't need to ask me. You are Pokémon Professor, and so am I. We are the same at this level."
Fang Yan nodded.
He knew that Professor Rowan could provide a sufficient amount of Starter Pokémon if he wanted to, but he needed to be responsible for the safety of these Covet children traveling.
Not just him, Pokémon Professor is the same in all regions.
Children are the future League.
"I know Doctor, don't worry, I will also select the most suitable individuals and let them take them away."
"Them?"
Professor Rowan looked at Fang Yan in confusion and found that Fang Yan had turned around and went back to talk to the little girl.
Looking at his back, Professor Rowan couldn't help laughing.
As expected of you----Fang Yan.
"Then I'm going to tell the remaining children? If you can't wait, you can go to Pokémon Day Care to get your own Starter Pokémon, not Starter Pokémon from Starter Pokémon."
"Excuse me, Doctor."
"Hahaha, call Yukinari later, we Sinnoh Region have two Pokémon Professor who can provide free Starter Pokémon, make him envious."
After Professor Rowan finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the outside of the research institute.
"By the way, I just heard you say that you regard the Cynthia champion as your idol, right?"
"Well, I also want to become a trainer as powerful as the Cynthia champion."
The girl clenched her fists and her eyes were full of faith.
Fang Yan chuckled, then took out his mobile phone in front of the girl, and dialed a number skillfully. In the girl's confused eyes, the call was connected.
A familiar voice sounded to the girl. After she saw the man in front of her whispering a few words to the screen, a voice of "Okay" came from the other end of the screen.
So the man in front of him handed the phone to him.
The man raised his eyebrows at her, and the girl lowered her head curiously and looked at the phone.
i
"Hope----Cynthia Champion?!"
The girl felt like she couldn't breathe.
"Hello."
"You----no,----you----hello."
The girl suddenly felt that the words in her mouth were starting to burn.
Cynthia on the screen chuckled, and the sound was like the sound of a wind chime shaking, sweet and refreshing.
"I heard that you regard me as your target?"
"Yes----yes."
The girl's voice dropped.
"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you at Victory Road. Don't let me down."
The girl opened her mouth, looked at the screen, and nodded heavily.
"Hmm!
"So she chose to receive Shinx?"
A familiar voice came from the screen, and Fang Yan nodded slightly.
"Shinx is actually quite good. He is very talented and very strong. He is not inferior to Starter Pokémon."
"That's true. It's really thanks to our hard work, Dr. Fang Yan."
Cynthia clapped his hands gently and said with a smile.
She knew that what Fang Yan said was a bit modest, but she knew very well the strength of the Luxray of Pokémon Day Care. The Luxray trained by Volkner, known as the "Fifth King of Sinnoh", was not as strong as the Pokémon Day Care.
Are its offspring just good in talent?
Don't make you laugh Luxray.
"So a total of six Shinx were collected?"
"Well, actually there should be more than one, but for their safety, we finally decided to select the most suitable six.
"The fourth Starter Pokémon of Sinnoh Region?"
", This statement is not bad, it seems that it can really be said?"
Under the sunset.
The girl held Poké Ball with Shinx in her arms and ran towards the hospital.
She rushed into the hospital, then quickly shuttled through the hospital corridors, and came to the door of a ward. She stopped, put Poké Ball on her chest, took a few deep breaths, and then opened the door.
Her parents, uncles and aunts were all there. She walked through the crowd and came to the hospital bed. She looked at her grandma lying on the bed. She raised the Poké Ball in her hand to the unconscious grandma and said softly, "Grandma, look, I have become a trainer."
The unconscious grandma's eyelids trembled, then she opened a crack, looked at her granddaughter in front of her, and moved her mouth with the oxygen mask on.
"Good----good boy----grandma----grandma is proud of you----"
A very long green straight line was drawn on the display screen.
The girl ignored the crying in the ward and held Poké Ball tightly to her chest.
Grandma, I will definitely become the champion!
Definitely!
