It was already past ten o'clock in the morning. Su Yuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and climbed out of bed with difficulty.
This villa has been unoccupied and maintained for some time, and there are obvious signs of dust everywhere.
In order to live a normal life, Su Yuan and Lillie worked until early in the morning last night before choosing to go to bed.
Of course, Lan Manhua, Gardevoir, and Admiral Tengcu also put in a lot of effort in helping with the cleaning.
For example, in some high places that are difficult to clean normally, Gardevoir floated up and used his own mind power to clean them.
It was also thanks to the help of the three of them, otherwise it would have been impossible for Su Yuan and Lillie alone to clean the entire house so clean in just one night.
After observing the sleeping Orchid Mantis for a while, Su Yuan revealed a slightly doting smile on his lips.
Why haven't I noticed before that when Orchid Mantis sleeps, the leaves and wings behind it move around, which is a bit cute.
Within the laboratory itself, there are many small nests for various Pokémon to rest.
Last night, Su Yuan picked three more suitable ones and placed them in his room.
Su Yuan was thinking.
Young general Tengcu turned over dishonestly.
The small quilt covering him also fell to the floor.
Picking up the quilt softly, Su Yuan covered it again without disturbing her.
Anyway, there's nothing I need their help with for the time being, so it's good to sleep in every once in a while.
After changing clothes and washing up, Su Yuan picked up the red and white Poke Ball he found in the hall yesterday and left the bedroom.
This Poké Ball is empty.
But Su Yuan recognized it.
That is the Poké Ball belonging to the Blazing Roaring Tiger.
Rubbing the smooth surface of the elf ball, Su Yuan's memory drifted back to his childhood.
At that time, Su Yuan was still young, and the Blazing Roaring Tiger was still just a fire-spotted cat.
Maybe it's just the child's temperament.
Not long after Su Yuan became friends with Fire-spotted Cat, he found a black oil-based pen and drew a "Fire-spotted Cat" on its Poke Ball.
Euphemistically called "a symbol of friendship"!
After finishing the painting, he was disliked by Huobanmao for a long time.
"It's not without reason to be disliked."
Su Yuan took one look at his childhood masterpiece and couldn't help hiding his face.
It's too abstract!
I'm afraid that Master Picasso in his previous life would call him "teacher" after seeing it.
Especially the expression on Lillie's face after she understood who the author of this "painting" was.
"No...it's okay Ayuan, I will try my best to control my emotions..."
The way you want it but can't help it is really hurtful.
"Pfft...hahaha~"
What's more, Lillie said she was in control on the surface, but in fact she was not in complete control.
Black history plus one.
"I have to find an opportunity in the future to find a way to copy Tutu Dog's 'sketch'!"
...
Su Yuan followed the stairs and came to the basement.
From the objects displayed in the basement, it is easy to see that this is where Su Yuan's parents did their research and work.
On several bookshelves against the wall, various books related to Pokémon academics are neatly placed.
The historical development of the Alola region and related Pokémon legends are placed aside separately.
"If you want to find out the whereabouts of your parents, you must first know what they were studying before."
Su Yuan thought.
Depending on the research objects, the areas for fieldwork are also different.
For example, if you want to study water-type Pokémon, you wouldn't choose to go to a desert or near a volcano to investigate and research, right?
What's more, Su Yuan's parents' research direction is the ecology of Pokémon.
Even if the same type of Pokémon lives in different areas, the ecology it has evolved is even more different.
Regional morphology is an intuitive evolution.
Moreover, even if the environment is roughly the same, different ecological habits will be derived from other Pokémon in that environment.
How difficult is it to study Pokémon ecology?
As far as Su Yuan knew, his parents' research included the origin, evolution, breeding habits, habitat selection and move acquisition of Pokémon.
To put it simply, it covers the research fields of Dr. Soragi, Dr. Odamaki, Dr. Yamanashi, Dr. Yewsugi, and Dr. Kukui.
And the regional alliances that these doctors belong to... they have also been to.
This is also the main reason why they travel around major areas all year round.
Therefore, Su Yuan felt that if he wanted to find out the whereabouts of his parents, he had to start with their recent research.
Su Yuan pulled up the office chair and opened the computer in the laboratory with familiarity.
"As expected, a password is required..." Su Yuan frowned slightly and tried to enter the "universal password" commonly used by his parents.
0515.
It's his birthday.
"It actually opened." Su Yuan raised his eyebrows and got to the point without saying anything.
However......
Looking at the extremely large number of folders and documents, Su Yuan couldn't help but have a headache.
"If there was a Porygon beside me at this time, things would be much easier to handle."
Su Yuan wanted to eat it, "Digimons are fine too!"
Half-jokingly, Su Yuan dove into the huge file data.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
It wasn't until the sound of "ta-da" footsteps came to his ears that Su Yuan stopped moving, rubbed his eyebrows with one hand, and looked away from the screen.
I glanced at the time on the clock.
It's already past one-twenty.
"Is it already this point?" Su Yuan said blankly.
If Lillie hadn't come in, it would have been evening, and he wouldn't have known.
After all, this is a basement, there is no sunlight, and the concept of time will become blurred.
Lillie wore an off-white summer short-sleeved home dress.
The design of the lace lapel and the woven pattern of the child doll bear, combined with a light brown stripe, completely bring out the cute charm of the girl.
He handed a box of already heated instant curry rice to Su Yuan. For Lillie, who had no knowledge of cooking, this was already the most advanced food she could make.
The air was filled with the aroma of curry, and Su Yuan swallowed.
I was fascinated by searching for information just now. Now that I have come to my senses, I am really a little hungry.
"Are you looking for Aunt Liu's research information?" Lillie glanced at the screen and said in surprise.
"Um."
After taking a few quick bites of the rice mixed with curry, Su Yuan nodded and replied: "The most important clue at the moment is what my parents are researching in the end."
Regarding Lillie, Su Yuan had no need to hide anything.
She is also one of the insiders.
Suddenly, Su Yuan's eyes fell on Lillie.
"Lilia."
"Um?"
"I remember you said before that before going to the Magic City, you should be my parents' assistant, right?"
"That's right." Lillie nodded slightly.
"Then you know more or less...the content of their research, right?"
"Oh~ this...this..." For some reason, Lillie's expression suddenly became strange.
Two green-white fingers were tangled together.
I...I can't tell Ayuan that her previous job was just to sort out and clean the institute, right?
"Ah, no!"
Lillie gently hammered her palm, "Before departure, I accidentally overheard Aunt Liu's conversation."
Lillie can no longer remember the specific content.
But I can still vaguely recall a few key words.
"Aunt Liu and the others... seem to be talking about the ultimate... ultimate cave?"
The ultimate hole!?
Su Yuan was startled.
Then his eyes burst into an astonishing light!
The ultimate hole...
So, is the source of everything still the ultimate alien beast?
