Sandgem Town.
Located in the east of Sinnoh Region, not far from Jubilife City, it is a quiet seaside town.
Uxie also came with Yushu, saying he was here to visit relatives.
When Yushu got off the Tailwind car, he immediately saw Cynthia standing at the entrance of the town.
Well, she is still so beautiful, her appearance is indeed the ceiling.
Yushu sighed silently in his heart, and then walked over quickly.
"Long wait."
"It's okay, I just arrived."
Cynthia smiled slightly, "Let's go, the teacher is waiting for you in the research institute."
The two walked out of the station side by side, Uxie floating quietly behind Yushu.
Cynthia seemed to feel something and glanced in the direction of Uxie, but didn't ask any more questions.
She knows that Yushu has some secrets, and she is not the kind of person who likes to get to the bottom of things.
The two walked for more than ten minutes and finally stopped in front of a building.
This is a three-story white building with a simple and elegant appearance.
Rowan Research Institute.
Standing in front of the entrance of the institute, Yushu was a little nervous for no reason.
"Are you nervous?" Cynthia tilted her head and looked at him.
"A little."
Yushu Honestly admit it.
Why do you feel like you are seeing your parents?
"Don't be nervous, the teacher is very nice."
Cynthia comforted, "And he has already read your paper and has a very good impression of you."
"I hope so."
After Yushu calmed down a little, he followed Cynthia into the research institute.
The inside of the institute is much more spacious than it looks from the outside.
There are various laboratories on both sides of the corridor, and through the glass windows you can see various sophisticated instruments and equipment inside.
There were several researchers in white coats who were busy working. When they saw Cynthia passing by, they all nodded in greeting.
The two walked to the end of the corridor and stopped in front of a research room.
Cynthia lightly knocked on the door. "Teacher, Yushu is here."
"Come in." A steady voice came from inside the door.
Cynthia opened the door and turned sideways to let Yushu go in first.
Yushu walked into the office and saw a middle-aged uncle with slightly white hair in the laboratory.
Professor Rowan.
He is older than Yushu remembers, his hair is half gray, he has a thick mustache, and his eyebrows are sharp. His whole person exudes a calm temperament unique to a scholar.
"Are you Yushu?"
Professor Rowan raised his head and looked at him.
"Yes, hello Professor Rowan!" Yushu bowed quickly and respectfully.
"No need to be polite, just sit down."
Professor Rowan pointed to the chair opposite.
Yushu sat down with his back straight.
Cynthia sat down next to him, his posture was much calmer.
Professor Rowan's eyes fell on Yushu and he said straight to the point:
"I have read your paper and it is very well written."
"Thank you for the compliment, Doctor."
Yushu quickly thanked him.
"I'm not complimenting you, I'm stating the facts."
Professor Rowan waved his hand. "Sylveon's discovery is indeed very valuable. Even Kalos, no one can completely list the conditions for evolution."
"The logic of your paper is clear and the process is very rigorous. It is not easy for someone who has not received systematic academic training to achieve this step."
Yushu said modestly, "Actually... there are many places that belong to Cynthia Coaching."
"Oh?"
Professor Rowan glanced at Cynthia.
Cynthia The tips of his ears moved slightly but he said nothing.
Did she... help?
Professor Rowan turned his head and his eyes fell on Yushu again. "Even if Cynthia has you, Coaching, but you wrote the paper yourself. You don't have to be modest. The credit that should be yours is yours."
He paused and continued, "I called you here today mainly because I want to ask you a few questions."
"Doctor, please speak." Yushu sat upright.
Professor Rowan crossed his hands on the table and looked deeply. "I'm curious, how did you come up with the idea of studying this direction?"
Yushu thought for a while and decided to tell the truth:
"Actually, at first, I just wanted to be a Intermediate Stage breeder, but Intermediate Stage breeder needs to publish a paper, and I didn't know what to study."
"Later I saw the ranch employee's Eevee, and suddenly I thought that there are many unknown evolutionary forms of Eevee, so I tried to research it."
Professor Rowan nodded. "The motivation is very simple, but the results are very good. Many great discoveries start from 'try it'."
"Second question, what difficulties did you encounter during the research process?"
Yushu thought about it seriously:
"The difficulty... should be to determine the conditions for evolution. In order to create this situation, I also set up a situation and asked my employee to face a Ursaring... She was so frightened that she lost her temper with me afterwards."
Professor Rowan heard this and said curiously:
"Elaborate?"
Yushu had no choice but to tell the whole story of "fishing law enforcement".
"Hahaha... you, a young man, are quite courageous."
Professor Rowan nodded slightly. "However, although this method is risky, it is indeed effective. Scientific research sometimes requires some unconventional methods."
Yushu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"The third question."
Professor Rowan looked at him solemnly:
"What are your plans for future research?"
Yushu was stunned for a moment, and then said honestly:
"To be honest, I haven't thought too far ahead. I just want to get the Intermediate Stage breeder first, and then run the ranch well."
"As for research... if there is a chance, I would like to continue doing some other topics."
"For example?"
Yushu thought for a while, "I think the direction of evolution is very good. The evolutionary differences of Pokémon in different regions are also very interesting. I also think it is worth studying whether the existing Pokémon will evolve again."
The main reason is that we don't know how to do other things, we can't do research, and we can't learn.
The only thing we can do is to deal with the information gap and take shortcuts.
After hearing this, Professor Rowan looked at Yushu and said slowly:
"Yushu, are you willing to be my student?"
Yushu was stunned.
Now, are you accepting disciples?
Obviously this is not a university class. As long as you are my student, you can call me teacher.
This is the kind of person who has the status of master and apprentice.
Yushu even thought he heard it wrong and turned around to look at Cynthia.
Cynthia smiled and nodded at him, indicating that he heard correctly.
"Bo, doctor... you mean..."
"What I mean is, I want to take you on as my disciple."
Professor Rowan walked back to his seat and sat down again:
"Your thinking is very flexible. Your only shortcoming is that you have not received systematic academic training Coaching. If you are willing, I can teach you and help you make up for this shortcoming."
Yushu's breathing was stagnant.
Professor Rowan student? This is an opportunity that countless people dream of!
With this level of identity, he Yushu is also a person with a background.
"Of course I do!"
Yushu quickly stood up and bowed 90 degrees to Professor Rowan seriously. "Thank you, doctor! No, thank you, teacher, I will definitely work hard!"
Professor Rowan smiled and nodded, "Okay, then you will stay here during this period. If you don't know how to ask, senior sister Cynthia will do."
"Cynthia... senior sister?"
Yushu was dumbfounded.
How come the seniority has dropped?
Cynthia blinked at him, with a sly smile on his lips, "Welcome to consult, Yushu junior brother~"
Yushu felt that his heart skipped a beat.
Hiss!
Hello, Senior Sister. It's not bad to listen to Senior Sister's lectures when you have something to do. It's also good to learn knowledge from Senior Sister when you have nothing to do...
In the following days, Yushu began his study life at Rowan Research Institute.
He transferred Sylveon from the ranch, and under Coaching of Professor Rowan, Yushu made the final revisions and improvements to the paper.
Professor Rowan personally helped him adjust the structure of the paper, added some professional terms, and also made suggestions for improving the presentation of experimental data.
After three days of polishing, the paper finally reached a publishable level.
The paper is officially published.
"The discovery and evolutionary conditions of another new evolutionary type of Eevee"
Once the paper was published, it immediately caused an uproar.
This topic is being discussed everywhere on forums, social media, and academic exchange groups.
"What the hell? Eevee has a new evolved type?"
"Sylveon? Why does this name sound so girly?"
"Wait a minute, who is this publisher? Yushu? I've never heard of it."
"After checking, he is a Beginner Stage breeder who runs a ranch."
"A rancher??? A rancher discovered a new evolutionary form???"
"I don't believe it, this must be a fake!"
"Calm down upstairs and don't rush to conclusions. Didn't you see who is written in the column of teacher Coaching?"
"What's wrong with teacher Coaching? Teacher Coaching can still... wait, let's see... fuck!"
"Professor Rowan!!!"
"Which Professor Rowan?"
"Is there a second Professor Rowan in Sinnoh?! It's the authority who studies the evolution of Pokémon!"
"Professor Rowan personally Coaching's paper? That must be no problem."
"The guy upstairs, didn't you just say it was fake?"
"I was wrong. Things certified by Professor Rowan cannot be fake."
The questioning voice disappeared instantly after seeing the column of teacher Coaching.
If the name Yushu has no reputation in the breeding industry, then the name Professor Rowan is a golden sign. Any research certified by him cannot be faked.
Suddenly, the direction of public opinion completely changed.
"Eevee Do you need to collect 18 attributes?"
"If I don't evolve now, there will definitely be more later."
"If you don't evolve, I won't evolve either."
"Tch, what do trainers know about Sylveon? This is simply tailor-made for us coordinators."
"Times have really changed. The coordinator of Zhan Wu Zha can also come up and comment, right?"
"That's right, the coordinator and Growlithe sit at the same table."
"I am Wallace, who said that just now."
"No, I slipped away..."
