Without stopping at this long and narrow stream valley road, Xiaozhi and the others continued northward.
According to the map's guidance, Yinyu City, where the sixth gym is located, is not far away.
But in the middle, there is a special institution - the Weather Research Institute.
At the end of this canyon area, on a flat highland, a rather luxurious building also appeared in front of Xiaozhi and others.
This is a two-story small villa, with a weather institute sign hanging above the door.
"Didi Weather Research Institute, this is a place that specializes in studying weather changes in the Fangyuan area. It is said that it is secretly developing black technology and trying to artificially control the weather..."
When I came to a new place, Xiaozhi's illustrated guide automatically introduced it.
This made Xiaolan next to him couldn't help but knock on his illustrated book.
Why doesn’t her illustrated book have such fancy functions?!
However, before the illustrations could be finished, an angry voice suddenly came from the side.
"Where is this strange information? Our Weather Research Institute is a very good citizen!"
A middle-aged man wearing a researcher's white coat walked over. He had a serious face with a somewhat strange expression.
The tone of this illustrated book is outrageous, almost describing their weather research institute as some kind of evil organization.
But literally...he couldn't refute anything.
Seeing Xiaozhi and the others looking at each other with "Who are you?", the researcher coughed dryly and introduced himself:
"Well, I'm the director of the Weather Research Institute!"
Having said that, he did not forget to establish a positive external image for his research institute.
"The mission of our institute is to actively develop weather forecasts and broadcasts, and disaster and climate warnings for the public... As for man-made weather manipulation, this kind of thing will only be carried out when extreme weather occurs in a certain place, such as droughts and floods.
.”
It is a positive energy organization that is completely convenient and beneficial to the people!
Xiaozhi also noticed a gray-white Pokémon floating on the leader's shoulder.
"Wu~"
Like a bubble, a bunch of curly hairs like hair stick out from the big head.
"Tip. Floating Bubble, a weather Pokémon, has the special ability to change the appearance of its body as the weather changes."
This time, it was Xiaolan’s illustrated book that made the first announcement.
"Changes appearance based on weather?"
Xiaozhi looked surprised. This was the first time he heard this statement.
When they noticed that the director's uncle was still looking at them, the three of them quickly sat upright and said hello.
"I am Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town..."
"I am Xiaolan from Zhenxin Town..."
"I..."
“What a new town?!”
However, after hearing the word Zhenxin Town, the director's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Then you should know Xiaomao from Zhenxin Town, right?"
"Xiao Mao?"
"Mature."
Xiaozhi and Xiaolan looked at each other and answered casually.
To put it this way, when he and Xiaomao parted ways, the latter came to the Fangyuan area.
It seems that the destination is the Weather Research Institute?!
Xiaozhi subconsciously looked at the building in front of him. Does that mean that guy is inside now?
I haven’t seen Xiaomao for so long, although Xiaozhi almost forgot about this person along the way...
But now that he was mentioned again, there was a slight feeling of eagerness to meet him in my heart.
"Oh, Xiaomao is no longer here."
The director saw Xiaozhi's actions and said with a smile.
Seeing that several people were tired from work, he immediately led a few people towards the research institute.
"Wu~!"
The light floating bubbles follow up and down, and their brisk appearance attracts the eye.
"Xiao Mao, he is definitely the smartest young man I have ever seen. His future is limitless!"
Along the way, the director did not hesitate to praise Xiaomao.
"I can only say that he is worthy of being the grandson of Dr. Ohmu. No matter in terms of vision, knowledge reserve, or even courage, let alone his peers, even researchers in their thirties and forties may not be at his level..."
The three people following behind, listening to these words of praise, the corners of Xiaozhi and Xiaolan's mouths also slightly raised without any trace.
I don't know why, but just thinking about this guy's appearance in my mind makes me quite irritable.
But now when I hear outsiders praising Xiaomao, it feels like...
As if you are praising yourself?
...
Entering the interior of the Weather Research Institute, you will find the lobby rest area on the first floor.
The front desk staff gave Xiaozhi and others a cup of hot tea. After all, the environment in this area is quite humid and cold, and there is nothing more comfortable than a cup of hot tea.
"call...!"
After drinking half the cup, they sat on the soft sofa and all three of them took a long breath.
Xiaozhi then continued to ask:
"So where is Xiaomao's...my best friend now?"
Now that we are all here, we should meet each other.
Just let this guy see how powerful he is now!
It seems that Xiaomao's career as a researcher has been in full swing during the past few days...
But Xiaozhi is more concerned about the latter's Pokémon combat level.
I don’t know if I can still compete with myself now...?
Better to have a fight right then and there!
"Xiao Mao has gone with the team to the Hezhong area."
The director also held a cup of hot tea in his hand and explained:
"I guess you all know that our Weather Research Institute recently launched an emergency event..."
"Oh, I know this. It's a plan to seduce Groudon back to the Fangyuan area, right?"
Xiaogang replied quickly.
Hearing this, the director raised his eyebrows. The word "seduce" was somewhat inappropriate...
But that’s probably what it means.
He nodded, his originally smiling expression condensing into a look of helplessness.
"You must have felt that there is a problem with the weather in the eastern area of Fangyuan District along the way, right?"
The three of them nodded. They just experienced the weird sea area yesterday.
On rainy days and sunny days, they are immediately cut into pieces.
For weather institutes that specialize in weather research, this phenomenon has undoubtedly become their most important research topic.
"However, this level is only the beginning... If this matter is not resolved, this phenomenon of rapid weather changes is expected to cover the entire Fangyuan region, and even increase in frequency and intensity."
The current quick switching is just inconvenient, not a disaster.
In the eyes of many people, they even think it is some interesting special phenomenon.
But if it is a huge thunderstorm, followed by a drought and scorching sun... just thinking about it, the director of the Weather Research Institute feels a little numb.
"And there is only one reason for all this..."
"Groudon."
Xiaozhi answered quickly.
Groudon, like his Coal Ghost, has the characteristic of having a sunny day when it appears.
But the former is an existence at the level of an ancient god, and his own abilities are enough to change the weather changes in the entire region.
