Hearing the noise outside, the door to the room opened, and Dr. Ohmu walked out with dark circles under his eyes.
Although he looked tired, his expression looked very excited:
"Oh~ Isn't this Xiaozhi? You came just in time. I have the latest illustrated book just in time. Hey, why did Pikachu get a tattoo?"
As soon as I came out, I saw Pikachu covered in purple stripes, which looked quite intimidating.
Xiaozhi also noticed that Dr. Oak was holding an iPad-sized tablet in his hand at the moment, which looked like the so-called Rotom illustrated book.
But the focus now is not on the new illustrations.
"Dr. Oak! Look at Pikachu's body, it's been like this since it woke up early in the morning!"
Xiaozhi quickly lifted Pikachu to Dr. Oak.
“So it’s not a tattoo?”
Dr. Oak also temporarily put down the illustrated book and looked at Pikachu carefully.
"Are there no other symptoms? Is it painful or is the strength weakened?"
"Pickup."
Pikachu shook his head, not feeling anything strange about his body.
With the appearance of this tattoo, if you go out in the future, you may be regarded as a bad Pokémon.
"Strange patterns, sudden phenomena, no symptoms."
Dr. Ohki touched his chin, kept mumbling, and fell into deep thought.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and his face was serious. Could this be that thing?
He seemed to have seen it once before.?
"Anyway, I'm going to check Pikachu's body first. Xiaojian, you go and turn on the switch in the laboratory."
Dr. Oak quickly took Pikachu and did not come to a conclusion easily.
But seeing Xiaozhi looking anxious, after all, Pikachu is his first and most precious companion.
So Dr. Omu comforted him and said:
"Don't worry, Xiaozhi, this may not be a bad thing, maybe it's a good thing for Pikachu.?"
After saying that, he carried Pikachu into the laboratory.
This made Xiaozhi wait anxiously outside, wondering in his heart what good thing could this weird purple pattern be?
Half an hour passed.
"Xiao Zhi, there's nothing important for Pikachu. You can come in first."
The closed door of the laboratory opened, and Xiaojian came out and said.
Hearing this, Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly inside.
But he saw that Pikachu was sitting on the testing instrument and had not yet come down, and the screen in front was on, as if Dr. Oak was having a video call with someone.
"Oh, Xiaozhi, you're here. There's nothing big going on with Pikachu. Instead, he won a prize~!"
Dr. Oki's expression was a little excited, and then he pointed at the picture on the screen.
"And this one, let me introduce to you, this is the young and promising Pokémon Doctor in the Hezhong region, Doctor Yew!"
Xiaozhi looked at the screen, which showed a young and beautiful female doctor.
With his curly brown hair permed, fashionable earrings, and light makeup, he is very different from the stereotyped Pokémon Doctor he always had in mind.
"Hello! I'm Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town!"
Xiaozhi quickly bowed seriously. Are these two doctors teaming up to treat Pikachu?
But what happened to winning the lottery?
"Because Pikachu is infected with the Pokémon virus!"
Finally, Dr. Omu gave a conclusion in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Xiaozhi was surprised at first. Although he had never heard of this at all, viruses should be bad things, right?
Is there any connection with the highly toxic state?
Dr. Oak signaled Xiaozhi to be calm and began to explain:
"First of all, this Pokémon virus has nothing to do with your poisoned state during the battle. It is an extremely special phenomenon, caused by a tiny life form attached to Pokémon."
"It will not cause any harm to Pokémon. On the contrary, it is a great good thing!"
Although the names of viruses are deceiving, not all viruses are harmful to living organisms.
"Yes, this Pokémon virus, according to current research, can probably increase the efficiency of infecting Pokémon's ability. It also has a considerable increase in physical recovery speed and even endurance."
On the screen, Dr. Yew interrupted and added.
This is a completely positive virus!
Nature is full of surprises, and this miraculous virus was born!
"Is it so powerful?"
Xiaozhi's mouth opened wide when he heard it, as if he was opening up his world view.
Does this mean that Pikachu has become stronger now?
"Don't you understand? Pikachu has not become stronger now, but the time it takes to become stronger has been shortened, which means the efficiency of training has been improved."
Dr. Ohki concluded.
This is not an RPG game. There is no concept of full level or full effort value for Pokémon.
As long as the Pokémon continues to train, although it will become more difficult to improve in the later stages, it can eventually become stronger.
The Pokémon virus makes Pokémon seem to turn on an accelerator, making it faster!
"As for these weird purple lines, don't worry, because we are still in the infection period. In two days, we will probably enter the immunity period, and these purple lines will disappear accordingly."
Of course, the immunity period does not mean that the accelerator buff disappears, but it will accompany it until old age.
However, only Pokémon in the infection stage can infect other Pokémon with the Pokémon virus through physical contact and other behaviors, and spread this good buff to others.
“So that’s how it is”
Even his only worry was dispelled, and Xiaozhi was completely relieved.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a good thing!
However, Pikachu is extremely powerful now, and general training to improve it is actually of little significance.
The effect of this Pokémon virus is greater on some new Pokémon.
"In the Sinnoh region, even if I train with all my strength, Flame Monkey and Lucario can only reach the level of the Alliance King at best."
Xiaozhi suddenly thought of something, and his expression became ecstatic.
You must know that this virus can be transmitted to other Pokémon!
If we use this Pokémon virus, maybe new companions in the future can be improved enough to rival the league champion after just training in one region!
Or even a stronger existence?!
Then here comes the problem.
"So Xiaozhi, where does the source of this Pokémon virus come from?"
Dr. Oak suddenly looked at Xiaozhi and asked curiously.
Dr. Yew on the screen also looked over in confusion.
The reason why Yew is connected is that this phenomenon of Pokémon virus is extremely rare. Dr. Oak has only seen it once many years ago, by chance at Dr. Yew's father.
Then a message was sent to the research institute.
However, now that the research institute has been inherited by Yew, the object of collaborative research has become the latter.
