Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"I want to see it, too." Symbol A was also itching to do so.

It was very curious, if it was a spirit created by humans, could Dream become the other party? And could the unknown totem become the other party?

“It’s not too late to try it then.” Wang Jin said.

......

evening.

It seemed as if a leaping orange-red sunset was floating beside the slanting setting sun, slowly sinking over the forest of Yinyu City.

The Hoenn Research Institute has a rule of leaving get off work at a certain time. After the clear bell rings, every researcher will consciously put down their work and research and choose to go to the central restaurant.

Yinyu City is too remote compared to big cities. Not only do many residents live in trees, but it is also difficult to find a store that sells daily necessities.

Most research institutes are located in such relatively quiet places, which has both advantages and disadvantages for researchers. At least their minds will not be immersed in the bright lights and night life.

Fortunately, Devon Company and the Alliance will deliver supplies to the research institute regardless of weather conditions, so there will be no shortage of anything.

On the stairs on the second floor of the Mechanical Research Institute.

Huoyan was holding a stack of documents and walking down slowly as if no one was around, still thinking about some mechanical structures in his mind.

The other researchers passed by her in twos and threes, chatting and laughing as they followed the flow of people to the central restaurant area of ​​the institute.

The central restaurant is located right in the middle of the two research branches and is a newly built public facility.

Following the crowd, Huoyan arrived quite late, but the restaurant still looked quite spacious. Compared to an area that could accommodate thousands of people dining at the same time, hundreds of researchers were still too few.

"Dear residents of Kanto, today's Pokémon Appreciation ends here... If you are interested, please pay attention to this channel produced by the Oak Research Institute. We will be waiting for you on time from 3 to 5 every day..."

Two large screens on either side flashed the same image so that researchers on both sides could see it clearly.

The TV can connect to elf-related channels from all over the world, but after everyone's voting, a few channels are more popular and appear on the screen more frequently.

Although every researcher has a computer and other items that are standard in the institute, watching TV during leisure gatherings is also a good choice.

Huoyan glanced at the smiling Professor Oak who flashed across the screen, his brows instantly frowned, and he turned his eyes away with an uneasy expression.

Professor Oak doesn't care how hard the research process is, he only cares about getting the results within the specified time. For example, measuring the physical data of dozens of grumpy and naughty thunder bombs within three days, or measuring the physical data of some fighting attribute Pokémon...

The researchers had no elves to help them, so they had to find a way to make their own equipment.

I am lucky to be able to complete the mission alive.

Huoyan felt sick as soon as he saw the hypocritical and arrogant face of Damu Xuechenari. He could still vividly remember the days when he was treated like a livestock in the Damu Research Institute and was forced to make various machines every day to deal with the attacks of the elves.

She lowered her head and walked quickly to an empty corner, where she ate alone in silence.

However, in this way, Huoyan's position is also particularly conspicuous. After all, a purple mushroom with its head shrunk is not common. Even among the elves in the world with many hair colors, it is rare.

When Wei Li saw her, she walked over without hesitation and called out with a smile, "Dean Huoyan?"

The fire goose raised its head slightly and saw a tall, thin, white wooden pole standing beside it. But before it could see the end of the pole, it bent down of its own accord, revealing a long, beautiful face.

"..."

Huoyan paused for a long time, and the question "Is there anything wrong?" kept lingering in his mind for a long time, but he didn't say it out loud.

"Is there no one here? I'll sit here." Willy seemed to be talking to herself and put the plate aside.

At the same time, two female researchers came running over from behind and sat down at a table in a proper manner.

Huoyan was squeezed for a moment, and then he said, "...It's too close."

Wei Li moved her butt and glanced at the documents in Huo Yan's arms: "Dean, why do you always hold a dozen documents?"

Huoyan turned his head and answered slowly: "This is what the doctor gave me. The next work..."

"Oh?" Willy came closer. "Can I take a look?"

"No." Huoyan said concisely.

"Ah..." Willy looked helpless, "So disappointed."

Another female researcher also said: "Come to think of it, Dean Huoyan seems to have known Dr. Wang for a long time."

The remaining one also said, "It seems that he met him in Professor Oak's laboratory during the academic conference? I heard that Steel Crow teacher personally admitted that he saw that the dean had outstanding abilities, so he took the trouble to recruit him."

Willy couldn't help but recall: "The Oak Research Institute is indeed large and cold. No matter how talented a researcher is, if he doesn't serve Dr. Oak well, he won't get any resources."

"Serving Professor Oak?" someone asked.

"Professor Oak is super sloppy, always talking to himself, and most of the time he doesn't do anything serious..." Willy started to list them one by one.

"That's good, it feels approachable." asked another.

"Tsk, he's a doctor. If you can't complete an order, you're doomed." Willy was also very disgusted. "He gives random orders all day long. Some dangerous tasks that normal people can't complete are required to be delivered within the specified time. A conceited guy like Professor Oak is not good at scolding people. He says all kinds of nasty things. If you can't bear it, you can only do what he says and get out of the institute."

"He's simply a tyrant..." one person commented.

Another one asked, "Dean Huoyan, how long have you been there?"

"Five years." Huoyan replied without hesitation.

"Five years?" Willy held her chin in surprise. "You actually persisted in this kind of hell for five years... I left in less than two months."

"Maybe that's where the shadow was left." Another person said with some heartache.

Huoyan remained silent, unwilling to say more or recall what had happened before.

"By the way, Huoyan, how old are you this year?" Weili asked with great interest.

"Twenty-five." Huoyan answered without hesitation.

But just after she finished speaking, she froze in place, and a cold electric light seemed to flash through her body.

"How could that be? She looks about sixteen or seventeen!" Willy was surprised.

Several female researchers also exclaimed.

"Yeah, I can't tell at all..."

“It still feels a little juvenile.”

"Hehe, she's like a little sister at home."

Huoyan looked at them in a daze, then looked at the plate in front of him.
