Chapter 2 Sakuragi Research Institute and Koharu
After leaving the Pokémon Center, Xia You did not go to Zhenxin Town to find Dr. Oak, but went directly to the Sakuragi Research Institute in Kuye City.
The Sakuragi Research Institute is located in the suburbs of Kuye City. It covers a large area. There is a large courtyard at the main entrance. The main building is a three-story building with an attic. It is said that this place was originally built by a noble. The manor was not bought by Dr. Sakuragi at a high price until half a year ago and was converted into a research institute.
Ascending the steps of the research institute, Xia You was about to ring the doorbell when he suddenly heard light footsteps coming from behind.
He looked back and saw a young girl, wearing a white dress that looked like a student uniform, standing not far behind him, watching him curiously.
The girl has a delicate and beautiful appearance. She has long burgundy hair, which is tied into a single ponytail and combed casually on the back of her head. Her big, clear eyes make her look clean and cute.
For this girl, Xia You recognized her identity at a glance. She was the childhood sweetheart of Xiaohao, the other male protagonist in the seventh Pokémon anime, and also Sakuragi. The doctor's daughter - Haru Sakuragi!
Yingmuchun tilted his head, looked at Xia You, and asked softly: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
"Hello." Xia You showed a friendly smile Smiling, "I have something to ask Dr. Sakuragi for help. Is he in the research institute now?"
"Looking for my dad?" Sakuragi Haru hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "He is. Inside, come in with me.”
Opening the door of Sakuragi Research Institute, Xia You followed Sakuragi Haru through the foyer and came to a place similar to a living room.
He looked around, and only now did he realize that this house was really huge, like a small castle, and judging from the layout, decoration style and furniture, it was still in the style of an English manor!
I have to say, Dr. Sakuragi does have great taste!
Pointing to the sofa in the living room, Sakuragi Haru said: "Please wait here for a moment. My father is still at work. I will tell you."
"Excuse me. ”
Xia You nodded, and when Sakuramuchun left, she didn't sit on the sofa, but walked slowly to the window.
Out the window is a dense forest full of spring. Looking a little further away is the bustling Kuye City. If you calm down and listen carefully, you can still vaguely hear the sound of the waves.
Even after arriving here, Xia You still feels a bit unreal!
Not long after, when Sakuragi Haru came back here again, there was a middle-aged man with the same hair color as her following behind her.
This middle-aged man is about thirty-seven or eight years old. He wears thick-framed glasses, a kind smile on his face, and a white work robe. Just from the way he dresses, he is... It can be seen that this is a very bookish researcher.
In Xia You's memory, Dr. Sakuragi was not only a descendant of Dr. Oak, but also one of the Pokémon doctors in the Kanto region. He was already known as a genius when he was young and had a bright future.
And despite his young age, he is also entrusted by the Pokémon League and is also qualified to provide initial Pokémon and Pokémon illustrated guides for new trainers. This is the entire Kanto region. One of the few authorities!
Seeing Xia You, Dr. Sakuragi was about to speak, but his eyes were attracted by the Lalu Lasi at his feet.
"It's actually Lalulas!? What a rare sight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a low Pokémon ran in from the door, and it saw Xiaochun, rubbed her trouser leg affectionately.
Xia You looked down and saw that this Pokémon looked like a short puppy. It was camel in color, with a large ball of soft yellow fluff on its neck, a pair of big shining eyes and a small lightning-shaped tail. , looking full of energy!
It turned out to be the caller Wang...
The caller Wang saw Lalu Lasi, his big eyes full of doubts, and wanted to come closer, but saw Lalu Lasi's hand suddenly glowing with light , and it was so frightened that it quickly retreated to Dr. Sakuragi. Dr. Sakuragi knelt down and touched its forehead.
"This is my Pokémon. It has always been a little too lively. Did it just scare you?"
"It doesn't matter." Xia You shook his head gently, "A Pokémon like Callous is very energetic, so it's really hard to calm it down."
"Oh?" Dr. Sakuragi was stunned and pushed. Glasses, "You know it?"
"I know the name, but I don't know much about it." Xia You pondered for a moment, "I only know that it is an electric Pokémon in the Galar region. The fur on its neck is where it stores the electricity in its body, so you can often see them snapping. He was running around while the electricity was on.”
I don’t know much about this! ? He clearly understands it very well!
"He is well-informed. He seems to be no ordinary trainer!" Dr. Sakuragi was surprised by Xia You's knowledge. He did not be too polite and went straight to the point, "I heard Xiaochun say, Do you have something to ask me for help? ”
"I'm sorry, doctor, for interrupting your work." Xia You took out his Pokédex, "My name is Xia You, from the Kalos region. When I first arrived here today, I wanted to ask you to help me upgrade its data. It will become a Pokémon Pokédex that can be used in all regions of the world!”
Taking the Pokémon Pokédex, Dr. Sakuragi opened it and looked at it.
"Well, it is indeed different from the Pokémon Pokédex style in the Kanto region, but no problem, it's just a small thing, come inside with me."
Follow Dr. Sakuragi, Xia You walked out of the living room and came to the work area of the research institute. In addition to Dr. Sakuragi, there were two assistants, a man and a woman, assisting him in his work.
Among them, the female assistant is Kikuna, who has a pretty face and long dark blue curly hair, while the male assistant is Renji who wears glasses and has disheveled hair. Although he looks inconspicuous, he is very talented. .
Both Kikuna and Renji are very easy to get along with. After being introduced by Dr. Sakuragi, both of them behaved very friendly.
"Hello, I am Dr. Sakuragi's assistant, my name is Renji!"
"Hello, I am Kikuna!"
Xia You and the two of them Shake hands and greet them.
“Hello, I’m Xia You. I’m really sorry for causing you trouble.”
Jucai waved her hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. The institute has not been officially listed yet, and our work is not too busy. It is still very leisurely."
"That's right." Lian Si also nodded in agreement, "There are only a few of us in the research institute now. It’s very lonely. You can come here today, which can be regarded as adding some life to the research institute!”
While a few people were talking, Dr. Sakuragi held a Pokémon illustrated book and placed it on the table. After operating the machine a few times, he handed it back to Xia You after a few minutes.
"Okay, the information has been upgraded. Are you going to start challenging the Quartz Alliance next?"
"Yes." Xia You nodded, "But I Currently, there is only this Lalulas. If you want to challenge the gym, you need to conquer a few more Pokémon to expand the lineup!”
Hearing the topic about Pokémon, Renji immediately became energetic. He asked excitedly: "There are a lot of Pokémon in the Kanto area. How about it? Do you have a target you want to conquer?"
“Of course I’ve thought about it!” There was no hesitation Yu, Xia You said directly, "Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur, I will definitely conquer these three families. As for the other Pokémon, it just depends on fate!"
