Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

In the garden of the Oak Research Institute, researchers who were resigning lined up with their luggage to register and leave.

When they actually walked out of the iron gate of the Oak Laboratory, they all took a deep breath of fresh air and then took out their tickets to Hoenn.

Now, the Hoenn Research Institute in the Hoenn region, led by Dr. Wang Jinwang, is the most worthwhile place to work. I heard that there are not only many projects and they are reliable, but also there is no overtime and there are holidays.

But I heard that the requirements of Hoenn Research Institute are gradually increasing... If you really can't get in, you can also choose Metz Research Institute. I heard that the standards are not lower than those of doctoral research institutes, and based on Metz's current research results, you will definitely be able to become a doctor at the next academic general meeting.

At worst, you can take a detour and go to Kalos or Unova. The technology in these two regions is more advanced than that in traditional regions such as Kanto...

In short, once I thought about quitting my job, I suddenly felt the world was wide open.

One by one, the researchers walked down the tightly-fitting bluestone steps of the Oak Research Institute with smiles they could not conceal, came to the slightly narrow dirt road in Zhenxin Town, and left in the direction of the port.

At the iron gate of the institute, Hanako sighed deeply with fatigue: "Ah..."

She is now responsible for registering the researchers who have left, and her hands are so sore that she can hardly write anymore.

Why not let psychic Pokémon do this time-consuming and laborious task?

But Hanako still didn't say her thoughts and just buried her head in her hard work.

At this time, a middle-aged researcher with untidy beard and messy hair handed over his ID from the Oak Research Institute, looked at Hanako's situation, and couldn't help asking:

"Why not get a psychic Pokémon to help?"

"Uh..." Hanako found it difficult to explain the reason, but in any case, Professor Oak disagreed.

"It's Professor Oak's disagreement again, right?"

The middle-aged man in front of him showed a hint of contemptuous smile, took out a cigarette from his arms, and took out a lighter from somewhere, lighting the cigarette twice in succession.

In the Oak Laboratory, smoking is definitely not allowed, not only because it may affect the experimental equipment and Pokémon, but also because it is dangerous, etc.

The most important thing is that Professor Oak does not allow anyone to do non-work activities during working hours.

As for Oki himself, he has always been a heavy smoker.

Hanako wanted to say something but stopped herself from responding or stopping him. After all, the person in front of her was no longer a member of the Oak Research Institute, and now had one foot standing outside the institute's door. Whatever he did had nothing to do with the institute's business.

She then looked at the ID and found that the person in front of her was one of Dr. Oak's three most capable research assistants, named Yuan Jing.

Hanako looked up at Yuan Cheng with confusion in her eyes. After registering her name and information, she put the certificate away.

Yuan Cheng was carrying two boxes, spitting his cigarette butt onto the bluestone steps outside, and stomping it out:

"After I resigned, I realized that leaving the Oak Research Institute was the wisest decision I've ever made in my life. After that, I'll go to Hoenn first... Little girl, you're still young. There's no need to be ordered around by an old man just because of a little sense of responsibility."

Hanako stared at his departing back for a while.

The person behind him immediately stepped forward, took out his ID and urged, "Hurry up! Don't be in a daze! When Professor Oak comes over, he will scold you!"

"..."

Amid the gloating smile of the person in front of her, Hanako took the certificate and continued to work.

Two hours later.

All the researchers who resigned today have registered their departure, and there are two hundred people today alone.

This month, more than 1,000 researchers have left the Ohki Institute, which originally had nearly 1,500 researchers.

Moreover, the rate of departure showed a clear positive correlation with the time when Hoenn Research Institute published its results. Whenever Wang Jin's Hoenn Research Institute published a research result, a large number of people from Ohki Research Institute would leave.

Not to mention the treatment, just the comparison of work results is unbearable.

These days, the Oak Research Institute has been distributing Pokémon encyclopedias. It sends them to novice trainers in the Kanto region every day. Not only is it tiring and troublesome, but some people are so stupid that they can't even use the encyclopedia, and the researchers have to explain it to them.

For a researcher who cares about the development of the elf world, this is obviously a waste of time. He can't even accumulate research experience. He can just pull a passerby over to do the job.

Who would write in their resume that they had participated in the task of distributing Pokémon encyclopedias at the Oak Research Institute?

Compared to the Hoenn Research Institute next door, which was producing results one after another, many acquaintances with little research experience had their names on the official academic website. Many large research institutes could not bear such a life and chose to run away as soon as possible.

Even many core researchers who participated in the research and development of the Pokémon Encyclopedia and were responsible for mass production chose to leave.

"So many people have left, but they don't have any sense of dedication or responsibility..."

On the first floor of the research institute, Oki Yukinari passed by many empty rooms, muttering to himself.

Although he was a little unhappy, he had already been mentally prepared for these situations and was not surprised.

Apart from the fact that life is not as convenient as before, he doesn't care about anything else. Those people can just leave, and the institute can finally have some peace and quiet.

After all, there is basically no major research plan for the follow-up research institute. At most, we will improve the elf encyclopedia and enter the data. Then we will publish the encyclopedia and share the production process with various regions.

The Oki Research Institute was originally the place where Oki Yukinari planned to retire.

For those who can stay here peacefully, regardless of whether they have similar ideas or not, their future life trajectory will definitely be inclined towards retirement.

When Oki Yukinari thought about the easy life of retirement, his steps became brisk, and he even smiled a lot. He looked at the quiet research institute and walked all the way to the iron gate of the institute.

Hanako rubbed her fingers together, still stretching.

"Hanako..." Professor Oak smiled.

"Bo, doctor!"

Hanako stood up suddenly and explained hurriedly:

"I, I'm not lazy, everyone has registered."

Da Mu Xuecheng was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "It's okay, go and have a rest."

After saying that, he took the registration form and watched Hanako run away.

Oki Yukinari glanced at it briefly, walked back to the laboratory, and threw it into the trash can.

"Boom boom..."

There was a knock on the door outside.

Oki Yukinari called out, and the researcher outside came in with a stack of documents:

"Professor Oak, the alliance has added some restrictive policies. I'm afraid these projects can no longer be carried out."
