Research Log Entry

In Scott's office, Jacob stood aside. Scott sat on a chair, looking at the paper title on the computer with a smile on his face. He did not expect that Jacob could write a new paper so quickly.

Young people are really energetic. They have just completed a big project and are now making new big moves.

"Exclusive Z-Crystal, a stronger Z-Crystal different from the attribute Z-Crystal"

Exclusive Z-Crystal. This was the first time that Scott had heard of this term. It was very novel. Scott began to read the paper under the expectant gaze of his grandson.

Exclusive Z-Crystal: A special Z-Crystal that can transform a specific Pokémon's specific moves into Z-Moves.

Interesting.

As Scott read the paper, the smile on his face gradually faded, his fingers on the mouse gripped the mouse tightly, and veins bulged on his old and frail hands.

As the inventor of the Z-Ring in China, Scott can be said to be the person in China who knows the Z-Moves best. He can certainly see the value of this paper.

If Jacob's previous paper made him famous in the academic circle, then this paper, if published, can directly make Jacob a leader in Z-Moves research.

There is no doubt that the exclusive Z-Crystal and the attribute Z-Crystal together are the real Z-Crystal.

At present, all countries in the world have only researched and developed the Z-Crystal, which is only equivalent to conquering half of the country. For the time being, no one has been able to discover the secret of the exclusive Z-Crystal.

Jacob's paper is equivalent to unveiling the veil of the exclusive Z-Crystal. The publication of this paper will definitely allow China to overtake others in the field of Z-Crystal research and become the leader.

"Did you write this paper?" Scott looked at Jacob seriously and asked, "Have you shown it to anyone else?"

"No." Jacob was also shocked by Scott's serious attitude. He expected that the appearance of this paper would definitely cause an uproar, but he didn't expect that an old hand like Scott would be so excited after reading it.

Scott sat in a chair in deep thought, his eyes flickering. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "How sure are you?"

"No one can tell for sure about experiments, but I am 99% sure about the exclusive Z-Crystal. As for whether it cannot be activated due to lack of energy, I am only fifty percent sure about that."

"Fifty percent?" Scott had a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He thought for a moment before making up his mind: "Maximus is here, I will discuss this with him. Let Nina come over. You can concentrate on designing the corresponding movements of Z-Moves for the next few days. I will have someone build a Z-Power Ring according to what you wrote in your paper."

"Ah."

"Don't make this public in advance, keep it secret for now."

Jacob and Scott discussed for a while about the details of the exclusive Z-Crystal, the characteristics of the Z-Power Ring, and so on. Jacob talked for an hour or two before leaving the office.

"Fifty percent?"

Scott sat on the sofa for a long time, then slowly took out his mobile phone and dialed a number that he hadn't called for a long time.

"Beep."

The call was quickly picked up, and a dignified middle-aged voice came from the other end of the line.

"Scott, you haven't called me on this number for a long time. What good news do you have this time? The last time you called me out of the blue was when you developed the Z-Move."

"Champion," Scott said in a hoarse voice, "I have something to report to you."

"Scott, you are joking. You are a man of high moral character and prestige. There is no need for you to report to me."

...

At night, Jacob was lying on the bed with dozens of missed calls on his phone. He first called his family back.

"Hey."

"You little brat, you still remember to answer the phone?" As soon as the phone was picked up, his father's voice came. It seemed that he was still upset that Jacob did not answer his call today.

"Dad, I was a bit busy in the afternoon and I'm free now." Faced with his father's teachings, he could only explain honestly.

"It seems like you're having a great time in the capital, and you've even published a paper." Father Rory said sourly, "Your brother's wedding is in half a month, remember to come back early and be your brother's best man."

"Okay." Jacob responded. Of course he remembered his brother's wedding day, which was October 1st.

"Don't just promise verbally. You have to come back earlier. You need to rehearse, okay?"

"Yeah." Jacob responded. Today is September 9th, and he has to rush back by September 18th at the latest. It takes 9 days to design the Z-Moves here, so he has enough time: "Dad, grandpa and the others should come too."

"I know, just come. By the way, your mother misses you, talk to her more." Rory said and handed the phone to Zoe.

The mother and son chatted. Compared with her father, Zoe was more concerned about Jacob's living habits, eating habits, and other trivial matters.

As for Jacob's paper publication, Zoe actually didn't care too much about how much Jacob had achieved. She was just happy that Jacob could take this path and inherit the Lin family's legacy. Her future would also be safer, as she wouldn't have to travel all year round like a trainer, fighting and killing, and putting her life in danger.

Jacob chatted with his mother for nearly ten minutes before finally handing the phone to his brother.

"Brother, how have you been lately? Are you excited about getting married?" Jacob asked.

"What's there to be excited about? It's just a marriage, isn't it? It's a piece of cake for your brother." Asher boasted, "I've been traveling around the country for so many years, how can a small matter like marriage be difficult for me?"

"By the way, brother, have you invited Ryan and your friends? The Kricketune Man and the Ladyba Man." Jacob thought of his brother's friends. Except for the eldest brother Ryan who was a serious person, the second and third ones seemed to have big problems.

"Of course I'll come. I'll take you to meet them." Asher smiled as he thought of his friends. "Don't learn bad things from Ladyba Man, okay? I might even have to make arrangements for him."

Jacob was also helpless about the topic going off track.

"Oh, right." Asher suddenly remembered something, and quickly picked up the phone and walked to the balcony. With a lewd smile on his face, he whispered, "I've taken care of your little lover for you. She's working part-time in the gym now. Our parents like her very much. Dad wants to take her in as the gym's last disciple recently. And her father's illness has been cured. He just had surgery today, and the doctor said he's recovering well."

Jacob was still wondering who the little lover was when he heard the first half of the story, and only realized it was Amelia when he heard the latter part. He recalled the scene of him and Amelia having a barbecue that night.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense. Who is my little lover?" Jacob retorted, and then quickly changed the subject and asked, "She doesn't even have an initial spirit. Why did Dad want to take her in as his last disciple?"

"Your little sweetheart is very hardworking and ambitious. She has good grades and is beautiful. Of course, mom likes her very much. Moreover, she is really talented in breeding Pokémon. She does a very good job in breeding Pokémon and judging Pokémon's qualifications." When Asher mentioned Amelia, he praised her highly. It has to be said that apart from her poor family background, there is almost nothing wrong with Amelia.

In fact, sometimes having a poor family background is not necessarily a bad thing. Without all the troubles in a big family, a clean family is actually better.

"By the way, brother, did you get the Bulbasaur that I told you about?" Jacob thought of the Bulbasaur and asked quickly.
