It was near evening that Xi Zhu returned to the hotel.
As soon as she entered the hotel lobby, she immediately saw Shijana hugging herself in a bear attire near the rest area.
After being stunned for a moment, Xizhu led the team over.
"Did you subdue them?" Xizhu asked.
Luther nodded and asked, "You haven't eaten yet. Just in time, Shijana and I went shopping and bought a lot of snacks in the afternoon. I also prepared some for you. Can we eat some together?"
Looking at the various Alola snacks placed on the table, the researcher who had been hungry for a day began to make "gurgling" sounds in his stomach.
Not caring about etiquette, he put down his equipment, sat on the sofa, said thank you to Luther, and started.
Luther handed Xizhu a fruit plate: "I thought these guys wouldn't even dare to move without your permission."
"That's not the case. Professor Xizhu is very indulgent towards us. This is something that many professors would never dare to imagine."
Before Xizhu could speak, his disciples raised their heads and helped explain.
Xizhu picked up a piece of fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, observing with interest the energetic dressed bear beside him.
After subduing the Dressed Bear, Luther did not continue to look for other elves to subdue. Instead, he returned to the city to examine the Dressed Bear and let Shijana and the Dressed Bear develop a relationship.
Things went much smoother than Luther thought. As soon as the bear came out of the elf ball, he met Shijana's eyes.
After hugging Shijana, he also gave Shijana a high lift, although Luther wanted to complain that these actions seemed to treat Shijana like a baby.
But being able to do this also means that the wearing bear accepts Shijana.
"It seems that you and Xijana had a lot of fun in the afternoon." Xizhu smiled.
"Is it okay? How's the progress over there?" Luther asked.
Xizhu smiled bitterly and said: "What else can I do? I still can't connect with Lusamine in person. The members of the Ether Foundation who came to contact me were very perfunctory."
"But it's not without good news. Probably because the Alola Alliance is being established, Lusamine did not refuse to let us track and capture the ultimate beast this time. However, they are still unwilling to share relevant information."
Although it is said to be good news, there are actually no substantial changes.
Let Xizhu track and capture the ultimate alien beast, but Alola is so big. As an outsider with no information channels, how can Xizhu possibly compete with the Ether Foundation operating in Alola.
When Xi Zhu got the news of the appearance of the ultimate beast and rushed over, the Ether Foundation might have completed data collection and started to send the ultimate beast home, or perhaps transferred it.
"This is already a great gain. In the past, when I came here, I was not welcomed, received no answers, and was rejected." Knowing Luther's thoughts, Xizhu smiled and talked about the past experience.
"But it's normal for Lusamine not to welcome us. Her behavior is beyond reproach."
Everyone rested for two days, and Xizhu decided where the entire team would go to camp out for the ultimate beast before setting off.
In fact, Xizhu had already made his decision. On the plane to Alola, Luther saw Xizhu drawing circles on the map of Alola and listing the destination.
It's no wonder that Xizhu's apprentices said that she indulged them very much, and even gave them some time to relax and have fun before the busy work began.
I sent the photos I took today to Mai, and by the way I got a photo of Sweet Bamboo surrounded by chrysanthemum leaves and lily root dolls.
It seems that Sweet Bamboo Bamboo is very popular among the elves on the island.
A rare visitor in the message list suddenly lit up, and Luther was stunned for a moment before clicking on the message sent by Xiaozhi.
"I plan to set off from Zhenxin Town to visit your island in a while."
Luther immediately replied: "Of course, but I'm not on Qidao now, so you can just find Mai."
"Where are you?"
"Alola region, Melemele Island, is completing a commission."
After a while, the phone rang, and Xiaozhi actually initiated a video call request.
After the call was connected, what Luther saw was Dr. Oak's face, while Xiaozhi and Pikachu looked at the screen behind Dr. Oak and waved to themselves.
"Long time no see, Luther."
Shocked, Luther quickly returned the gift: "You too, is there anything you want me to help you with?"
"That's right. In fact, my cousins in the Alola region happen to have some information about the shape of the Alola region that they want to hand over to me. They haven't finished sorting it out at this stage, and it will probably take two months to complete it.
"
"Can you see if the time is suitable? If not, we will let him take express flight. If it is suitable, I hope you can do me a favor and bring Zhenxin Town with you when you return. It just so happens that Xiaozhi has always wanted to invite you to Zhenxin Town.
Be a guest."
Xiaozhi squeezed in front of the screen: "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to see the elves I have conquered over the years? Now is the chance!"
That was what Luther and Xiaozhi said after the Lily of the Valley Conference.
The scene where elves are raised in Dr. Oak's research institute has fascinated so many people, and the idea of seeing it for themselves has always been lingering in Luther's mind.
Now that both Xiaozhi and Dr. Oak have sent out invitations, the opportunity is rare, so how could Luther refuse.
"In that case, I will contact Cheng Ye. He happens to be teaching at the elf school on Melemele Island. You might as well pay a visit tomorrow to see how his progress is."
"By the way." Dr. Omu stopped Luther, "You should be with Xizhu now, right?"
Luther did not expect that Dr. Ohki actually knew about this, and asked: "Are you also concerned about the ultimate beast?"
"I just heard a little bit about it. Recently, the academic circles are discussing that Xi Zhu found a reliable helper and finally went to the Alola area again. I didn't think it was you before. I found you in Alola and said you wanted to complete the commission. I immediately
Reminds me of it."
Luther hesitated for a moment and said seriously: "Could it be that if someone like you asked Lusamine for the information in person, she would refuse?"
"I have a different view than others. Maybe we think that data can be selflessly dedicated and we can study and make progress together."
"But we cannot say that those who are unwilling to share are wrong. In terms of ethics, she did not do anything wrong." Dr. Ohmu said, "They funded their own research and research. How to deal with the data and information they obtained is up to them.
rights.”
"The academic community believes that Lusamine is selfish and controlling. Maybe she is right to be controlling, but selfishness is out of the question. No one has the right to ask her to share selflessly. We cannot put a label on her and then judge her."
