Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"Teacher Steel Crow, after our institute opened the apprentice and researcher assessments on the official website and academic website, thousands of people made appointments in just two days..."

Bai Tu said this with no lack of excitement.

Thousands of people have signed up, which is a huge number.

In Hoenn, all the researchers combined may not even number a thousand.

What's more, a normal doctoral research institute only needs about one or two hundred researchers and assistants.

So far, the institute with the largest number of people is the Soragi Institute in Johto. The number of people registered at the level is only 279, which is just under 300 people.

There are only two or three doctors in a region at most. The Kanto Alliance, which is composed of Kanto and Johto, is a research holy land and the place with the largest number of researchers, but it only has more than 3,000 researchers.

The main reason is that it is too difficult for ordinary people to become a researcher. Just to go to school normally and graduate from an academic university, one needs at least two people working full-time.

Not to mention formal internships, jobs, and entering graduate school... In addition to having enough Alliance Coins to ensure that you have food and clothing, every step requires connections and talent.

Therefore, the threshold to become a researcher is too high. It is better to just buy a Poké Ball and catch a Bug-attribute Pokémon to become a trainer in one step.

"I guess there aren't that many unemployed researchers. Most of these thousands of people are probably already working as researchers in some doctoral research institutes." Bai Tu flipped through the documents and said, "The institute plans to recruit 150 people first, 100 apprentices and assistants, and 50 registered researchers."

Those who were already working as researchers in some doctoral research institutes were ready to switch jobs after seeing Wang Jin's research institute open...

After all, everyone becomes a researcher mainly to contribute to their own future, and the future of the elf world is just a by-product.

Isn't the next step for researchers to get a doctorate? Which researcher is not working towards the goal of getting a doctorate?

Although most researchers will only reach the top in their lifetime, there are still many who have dreams.

When Wang Jin's Hoenn Research Institute just started recruiting, there were thousands of people signing up, which was quite lively... In the eyes of many researchers, following Wang Jin, a new talented researcher, is definitely better than following some old doctors who like to live off their savings.

In short, at Wang Jin's Hoenn Research Institute, the chances of producing more research results and entering the Academic Association are greater.

"No matter what their purpose is, we will treat them equally. Let them pass the test first..." Wang Jin sat on the sofa in the hall and said slowly, "First, their ability, then their purpose."

"Purpose?" Bai Tu still didn't quite understand.

Wang Jin flipped over a page of documents and pointed to a column. “For example, some researchers come to our institute to borrow funds from the institute to research their own projects… People like these should be given lower priority and we should try to eliminate them.”

"Our institute does not welcome and does not recruit researchers who bring projects into the institute."

"Those who can unconditionally obey the institute's arrangements will be given priority."

"Of course, for those whose attitudes are unclear, just ask them indirectly during the interview, but don't be too direct."

If Bai Tu was a researcher who did not belong to a certain research institute, or was one of the job-hopping people, he would naturally be dissatisfied with Wang Jin's decision...

But Bai Tu is the most loyal executor in this institute and will only support Wang Jin's decision.

His ideas are also very simple and he can convince himself easily.

Is there anyone in the world who is more talented than Mr. Steel Crow? If those guys who changed jobs were talented, they would have already made a name for themselves in their original research institutes. Why would they need to change jobs?

In today's elf world, there should be... no doctor who would deliberately suppress or snatch the research ideas of certain researchers, right?

Thinking this, Bai Tu recorded the key points of Wang Jin's instructions as usual.

What happens to the other researchers has nothing to do with him, the future doctoral assistant and main manager of the institute.

"Kashiwazu, when facing those who want to join the institute, try to be critical. There is no need to flatter them, nor is there any need to build good relationships with them... Remember, in Hoenn Institute, your status is higher than theirs."

Wang Jin took a sip of tea, emphasized the matter to Bai Tu, and then stood up to leave.

Bai Tu nodded repeatedly and followed behind to see him off.

"As for the content of the assessment and test, you can arrange it yourself." Wang Jin suddenly remembered and said, then waved his hand: "As for the other unimportant matters, you can decide on your own. If you have any research ideas, just tell me."

After saying this, Wang Jin walked towards the breeding garden without looking back.

Bai Tu hurriedly agreed and ran back to the institute with a happy face. He was very busy now. In addition to some daily observations and research, he also had a lot of affairs for the institute.

But this also makes him feel very satisfied and full of enthusiasm every day.

...

Similar to Bai Tu, Wang Jin was also in a good mood at the moment.

After arriving at the training ground, he carefully studied the physical conditions of the elves that were infused with life energy that Bai Tu had handed over... Without exception, these elves were very energetic.

"Moreover, through the comparison of multiple data, it is shown that the overall talents of these elves have improved a lot after being injected with energy. Has the physical state been changed by the life energy? It seems that the potential and talent of the elves are more related to the quality of the acquired training they receive after birth."

Wang Jin pondered over it carefully, wondering if there was any way to maximize their utilization.

Also, after confirming that there is no problem with the method of injecting life energy, we can conduct experiments on the handheld elves today.

After a moment, Wang Jin released all the elves.

Steeljaw, Gengar, Doronyx, Bear-wearing...

His eyes roamed over all the elves, assessing them constantly, until he saw one that kept dozing off, and then he nodded with certainty.

"The decision is yours, Ultrasonic Larva!"

The ultrasonic larvae had not yet woken up, their emerald green eyelids drooped in confusion, and their bodies were pulled to the front by their super powers.

"Little A!"

Wang Jin called out, and the symbol A floated above the ultrasonic larvae.

The three Poké Balls that Wang Jin had prepared long ago also floated up and hung in a triangle, with the Glazed Stone in the center.

All of the three Poké Balls contain King-level Pokémon, and one of them even achieved a breakthrough in a short period of time after a previous experiment.

Under the curious or eager gazes of many elves, strands of life energy continued to flow into the body of the ultrasonic larva.
