Really An Ordinary Day

"Professor Rope is different..."

After listening to Yutsuki's words, Eri shook her head slightly, and then said softly: "Professor Rope not only obtained theoretical results, but also verified the results."

Yutsuki tilted his head cutely. "Verify? Verify like this? Can he find a legendary Pokémon to verify it?"

Yutsuki thinks this is actually quite funny. People in the research community know that almost all the theories given by mythologists are so-called "conjectures" rather than facts. Because few people have seen the legendary Pokémon, those ancient myths and materials cannot be verified at all. You say it is false, but there is no evidence to refute it. You say it is true, but there is no strong evidence. Therefore, mythologists are quite controversial in the alliance. However, mythologists are very useful in studying the origin of Pokémon and humans, and exploring ancient secrets and ruins. Therefore, mythologists have always been a powerful faction among researchers.

That's why Yutsuki found it funny when he heard Eri say that Rope verified the theoretical results.

It was true that Rope was tall and handsome, but did you think that Rope would be able to find those legendary Pokémon who had never been seen or heard of?

But Eri nodded.

Eri nodded seriously.

The smile on Yutsuki's face froze for a moment before she asked, "You're kidding, right, he really found Legendary Pokémon????"

It was a good thing that her sanity hadn't completely crumbled, so she just whispered, otherwise it would have been really rude.

"My uncle said that at that time on the stage, when Professor Rope brought out the picture of himself with the Nightmare God-Darkrai and Mew, the scholars at the bottom, the Professor, also looked shocked, and I think it was something similar to the look on your face right now."

Eri looked at Yutsuki's stiff smile and couldn't help but cover her mouth as she laughed softly.

Yutsuki, on the other hand, didn't even care about her best friend's teasing, but turned her head to Rope with a shocked look on her face.

Rope, on the other hand, sensed her gaze, and although she didn't know why she was looking at her, Rope still waved at her as a greeting.

Yutsuki subconsciously said hello as well, then instantly turned back to her and said, "I'll go with you to ask questions then!"

Yutsuki wasn't going to be stupid and say something about what if this person's evidence was all fake...

With so many experts and doctors present, is it possible to fake it? Aren't you afraid of being killed on the spot by the doctors?

You know that the doctors in this world are not purely unarmed scholars. Otherwise, what the hell kind of field practice class would these research students take?

Doctoral research can be done more than just indoors. Observations of Pokémon in the wild and sampling of body samples are all mandatory classes for researchers. It can be said that the fellows may indeed not have much talent in commanding, nor are they very interested in trainers and whatnot. But one by one, they have no problem defending themselves in the wild.

Even because of their own and Pokémon's weaker strength, their ability to survive in the wild and their common sense was even above some trainers who were not from the science class.

It's kind of like being both literate and martial in a sense. So this was a world where it was a real possibility to get punched in the face for cheating someone out of academic falsification. It was said that the all-martial combat at the research summit wasn't one or two times.

After all, this world was still essentially martial. The reason why the Alliance strongly supported the researchers wasn't because they knew the disadvantages of martial arts for all...

It was precisely for this reason that Rope had always wondered if Professor Oak's reputation as the number one in the research world was supported by Professor Oak's strong force.

Often times, disagreements and fights were the best way to explain things...

"Didn't you say that you weren't interested in myths and legends~ Didn't you say that you wanted to go and learn about hyper-evolution with Professor Sycamore, or go and learn about research in the field of stances with Professor Kukui?"

Eri also teased nonchalantly.

Yutsuki tossed her hair then said with a haughty face, "Professor Kukui is handsome, and Professor Sycamore is even more handsome! But!!! None of them are as handsome as Professor Rope!!!"

"…You are too obsessed with appearance!" Eri was also quite helpless.

Though what Yutsuki said was true.

And she could kind of understand why Yutsuki, this guy, could do some relatively in-depth knowledge and research in all areas even though she didn't have a clear direction for her research...

But Eri wasn't kidding about studying under Professor Sycamore or Professor Kukui. With Yutsuki's family background, it would be no problem for her to be placed in the institutes of these two doctors.

And with Yutsuki's talent, as long as she really determines her research direction, then the speed of progress is probably unimaginable.

Of course, they were only freshmen, and a lot of them hadn't settled on their research direction.

Even Eri is wavering between the three perspectives of mythology scholar, egg group study, and Pokémon and human relationship study, and has not really determined her own research direction.

But there's no excuse for that. It's better to have a clear plan for your life than to think about it later.

People make choices when they are young, and as they get older, they always regret most of them until they get used to them and stop talking about them.

But after meeting Rope this time, Eri had already made her initial choice.

Eri's fists clenched slightly. Like he was making up his mind for himself.

"Watch out! There's a Pokémon attack!!!"

The students were startled by the sudden roar, and then Eri came to his senses and shouted loudly: "Everyone calm down! Students with Pokémon stand outside, and students without Pokémon form a circle. Be prepared for defense. Seiko quickly identify the type of Pokémon that is attacking and be prepared to deal with it!!!"

The students quickly became busy and unorganized from their initial panic after having Eri's command. It was obvious that Eri's authority in this class was truly extraordinary.

Yutsuki and Eri both stood on the perimeter, each clutching a Pokéball in their hands in a defensive stance.

Rope and Whitley hung back, watching the students' movements and Eri's command, and Rope couldn't help but marvel, "Really just a very capable little girl!"

"You're not two years older than her..." said Whitley helplessly.

She always felt that this Rope guy saw himself as just too old. In reality, Rope was only a twenty-one year old youth. That is, a junior in college...

Rope didn't say anything either, just silently watched the students methodically shoo away an incoming toucan, which was actually the formation of a team of researchers in the wild without the protection of a trainer...
