Knights of the Elf World

"Is this the Mega Evolution Stone of Garchomp? It's so beautiful." In the Bratano Research Institute, Bratano looked at the Mega Evolution Stone in Sirona's hand and said enviously. You know, he also has a Garchomp.

"But speaking of which, Xichen, are you really okay? I heard that you fainted because you were too tired."

Regarding Xichen's coma, Shirona and Naz did not tell Bratano the real reason. They only said that Xichen fainted due to overwork. If they told Bratano that Xichen almost died in the Mirror Cave, he probably would never dare to let Xichen go out again. The same was true for Mustard Orchid. Shirona did not plan to tell Mustard Orchid either.

"It's okay now." Xichen nodded. On the day he woke up, Xichen went through the discharge procedures under the doctors' weird looks. After all, who would like to lie in a hospital filled with the smell of disinfectant for no reason?

"That's it, but what you are doing..." Bratano looked at Xichen and Sirona's interlocked hands, raised his eyebrows, and then gave Xichen a meaningful smile.

"Uh, hehe." Xichen and Sirona blushed slightly, but did not loosen their clenched hands.

Naz on the side looked at the two of them with a complicated expression. Ever since Xichen and Sirona came back from the hospital, she had noticed a change in their relationship, and they were closer than usual. This made Naz feel a little sour, but as she was not very sensitive to emotions, she didn't know why.

"Doctor, I have a question I've wanted to ask you for a long time." Xi Chen coughed and brought the topic back on track: "If you want to explore the mega evolution of Pokémon, why don't you go to the Sala Gym in Sala City and visit the gym trainer there, Mr. Kokobull? And the Refining Tower there also records information about mega evolution, right?"

"I didn't expect that you, Xichen, already knew all this even though you haven't been in Carlos for long."

"I also discovered it from the legend of the Wave Hero that Sirona told me." Xi Chen looked at Sirona. In fact, this was also what Sirona told her. She has always been very interested in these legendary stories: "Sirona told me in advance that the Pokémon passed down from generation to generation by the trainers of the Salo Gym in Kalos is also Lucario, which is very similar to the Wave Hero, so I looked up some information about it."

"It seems that our Dr. Xichen can remember clearly what Miss Sirona said." Bratano joked, "But Xichen, scientific research and the inheritance of experience are not exactly the same. I believe you and I share the same view. It is true that gym trainers can achieve the possibility of mega evolution through the training experience passed down from generation to generation and their own honed combat practice, but their experience is not universal. I want to study mega evolution because I want to know the secret of mega evolution, why Pokémon can mega evolve, and why mega evolved Pokémon can change their own attributes, characteristics, and even personality in addition to improving their strength. This kind of diverse uncertainty and the differences between each Pokémon are what I want to study!"

"That's right! It is because of this uncertainty that every Pokémon is unique and worth cultivating and studying!" Xichen nodded in approval, and then his eyes lit up: "As long as you have this curiosity and keep discovering and studying new things, you can see a broader sky. This is also one of the reasons why I became a researcher!"

"This is the romance that only belongs to scientists. Both of them are great doctors~" Shirona looked at the two of them with a smile.

"No, Xichen is really amazing." Blatano sighed, "I started studying mega evolution because Kalos is considered the holy land of mega evolution. The earliest evolution key and mega evolution appeared here. I saw the cases of mega evolution, so I wanted to study them in detail and invested so much enthusiasm. But Xichen is different. Just because he heard that I was studying mega evolution, he rushed from Sinnoh to Kalos to accompany me to study the controversial mega evolution at the time. Moreover, his bond evolution theory is basically a theory created from scratch. With this achievement alone, he may become a top researcher who is not inferior to Professor Oak. No, Xichen already is, starting from the fairy-related paper he published."

"Hmm~ Top researchers~ have surpassed grandma." Shirona looked at Xichen teasingly, and Xichen just scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Moreover, the demonstration of mega evolution has come to an end. When the report is released in the industry, the scientific community will usher in another earthquake. I also plan to write Xichen's name on the report." Bratano said with a smile: "Without your help, the research on mega evolution will not be so smooth, so Xichen, you can't refuse!"

"Then I would like to thank you, Doctor." Xichen did not intend to refuse at first. After all, more achievements would not be a burden.

A few days later, Miare Airport.

Since their goal had been achieved, Xichen and the others decided not to stay in Kalos any longer and prepared to return to Sinnoh.

"I'm sorry Xichen, you helped me so much, but I didn't give you much help with your bond evolution theory." At the airport, Bratano said to Xichen with an apologetic look on his face, but Xichen didn't care at all.

"It's okay. Research is hard. When Garchomp and I truly complete our bond evolution, it will all be worth it."

"Then... I'll give this to you as my farewell gift." Bratano handed Xichen a gift, which was an exquisite box.

"What is this?" Xichen took it in his hand puzzledly. After opening it, he found that it was an exquisite black wristband with an evolution key stone inlaid on it.

"Evolution Keystone, Doctor, don't you only have one? Isn't this a bit valuable?" Xichen looked at Bratano in disbelief.

"It's nothing. Although evolution key stones are rare, they are not as hard to find as mega evolution stones." Bratano waved his hand.

"Doctor... Thank you. And thank you for your care during this time. I actually have a gift for you. It's in the drawer of your desk."

"Oh, really? Then I'll look forward to it, hahahaha." Then, Bratano came to Naz, leaned close to Naz's ear and whispered stealthily, "Since you like her, then go for it. Otherwise, there will be more and more women around Xichen."

Nancy tilted her head, somewhat confused.

An announcement came from the airport that Xichen and others were finally leaving.

"Well, goodbye, everyone. I look forward to seeing you next time." Bratano waved and said to the three people, and the figures of the three people disappeared at the boarding gate.

Afterwards, Bratano returned to the institute, opened the drawer of his desk, and his pupils suddenly contracted when he saw the things inside.

I saw two familiar crystal clear gems lying quietly inside. They were the mega evolution stones of Slowpoke and Kairos, and there was a note underneath.

Bratano picked them all up and unfolded the note.

"Doctor, these two mega evolution stones are for you. After all, I can't use them. But if you find other mega evolution stones, please contact me!"

"Xichen, you really are..." After closing the note, Bratano leaned back in his office chair with a smile from the heart on his face.
