Dr. Ohki's research institute is built on a hill on the outskirts of Shinshin Town.

According to Dr. Ohgi himself, he needed a huge space for the elves who were housed here. The place to build a research institute in the mountains of this kind of place is big enough, and it will not let the voices of the elves disturb the neighbors, so he chose this location.

"Dr. Ohki, are you there?"

Watari knocked on Dr. Oki's research institute, and as the door of the institute was pushed open, an old man who looked to be in his 50s slowly walked out.

With short white hair, a white research coat, and a gentle smile on his face, he looks like an honest person who has spent his whole life researching a technology in the research institute and finally had his research results stolen.

However, the first time Karp saw him, he was basically sure that he couldn't be that kind of person.

Because in the system's display, Dr. Ohki, who looks like a good old man, has a rather protruding point display: 490 points.

"Oh, it's Wataru, who is this one next to you?"

As Karp pondered, Dr. Oki was already talking to Wataru. With Dr. Ohki's question, Watariya took a look and let Karp walk in front of Ohki.

"This is a Karp, Austin college student, and he's a good trainer."

Hearing Wataru's statement, Dr. Oki laughed as well.

"The word 'good' from your mouth makes me want to see his elves."

Hearing Dr. Ohki say this, Karp's heart moved.

"In that case, Dr. Ohki, do you want to fight me?"

Listening to Karp's voice, Dr. Oki shook his head with a smile.

"If it's a normal day, it's okay to meet your elves, but for now, forget it.

After all, I'm also having a lot of trouble. ”

Following Dr. Oki's voice, Karp nodded—he had only tried at first, and the other party's rejection was also in his thoughts.

I was stunned for a moment without transitioning.

"Is there anything wrong with you here? Originally, I thought that if it was really a lightning bird this time, I would let you help me. ”

Hearing Wataru's words, Oki was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Karp.

Wataru sensed Dr. Ohki's expression and spoke slowly.

"If I count by strength, I can deal with the Lightning Bird myself, and Karp is still in school, but he is also a good trainer, and he will definitely not cause me any problems. But ......"

Originally, Dr. Oki thought that Wataru's problem was on Karp, but hearing him say this surprised Dr. Oki a little, both to Wataru and Karp.

"However, if I fight the Lightning Bird, I can't do anything about it if it gets out with all its might."

In an instant, Dr. Ohki's newly raised surprise escalated into pure surprise.

"You want to catch the lightning bird!?"

Listening to Dr. Ohki's inquiry, Watari nodded solemnly, and then smiled bitterly.

"But I'm a dragon messenger, so I don't have the idea of subduing the lightning bird. Just hopefully, sometime in the future, the lightning bird will come to my aid once. ”

Hearing him say this, Damu also reacted.

"You want to challenge for the championship?"

"Yes."

Wataru nodded, he became the Heavenly King at the age of sixteen, and now he is in his twenties. Having achieved this level at such a young age, it would be impossible to say that he didn't want to challenge for the title.

At present, the league has indeed set up two positions, the king and the champion, but the king has not been completely filled, and the champion is not one. Wataru has grown to the point where he is now, and it's not surprising that he wants to be the first champion in the league.

And it is understandable that he wants to use the power of the lightning bird.

After all, if you want to become the champion of the league, you must first defeat the Four Heavenly Kings.

At present, the kings of the alliance have not completed it.,So you can only find someone from the older generation to fill in the blanks for the time being.、The current king of Kanto is only Kikuko and himself.。

If he himself is the Heavenly King, he only needs to defeat the other three Heavenly Kings, and he can directly become the champion without a champion. Then if you want to find the older generation to fill in the blanks, you estimate that you will be pulled into coolies, and then if you want to find the next one, in addition to the plank that seemed to have disappeared a few days ago, you can only find other old guys who have retired and have the strength of the king.

There are not many old guys who have retired from the alliance, and the only one who has retired from the front-line position of researcher and trainer after so many years is Austin. So the person who came to fill in the blank must be a heavenly king of his ice system.

And Austin ...... Although he didn't see him subdued at the beginning, if he had to go all out to fight against another Heavenly King, the frozen bird he saved back then would definitely come to help him.

This should also be clear, so at this time, I thought of using the power of the three divine birds.

Wataru's first choice should have been the Flame Bird, but the Flame Bird hadn't appeared for a long time, and there was no news. So now that the lightning bird has appeared, there is nothing to give him a choice.

Thinking of this, Dr. Ohki did not immediately say whether he agreed or disagreed.

"The lightning bird hasn't moved for half a month, and it's likely that it's gone now. What should you do if you can't catch a lightning bird? ”

Listening to Dr. Ohki's question, Wataru didn't have the slightest doubt.

"If I can't catch it, I'll improve my personal ability and continue to push towards the championship, that's all."

As he spoke, he laughed.

"After all, catching the lightning bird is just a temporary idea of mine, and the time of this mission is only about ten days, if you feel troublesome, forget it.

If I don't find it on this mission, I'll send Karp back first, and then I'll be involved in the mission to deal with Team Rocket.

It doesn't matter if I don't catch the lightning bird when the time comes, I'll improve some of my strength and then challenge for the championship. ”

Damu listened to Wataru's voice and nodded slowly.

"If you have such thoughts, it means that you still have a road to the end of your future - if it is usual, I will definitely help you, after all, I also want to study the legendary elves.

However, now it is really impossible to get out. ”

With that, Dr. Oki stood up and pressed a switch with one hand, opening the door to the interior of his lab.

"In that case, you may not understand what the situation is, so I'll let you see my problem.

It seems that your alliance special investigators have some big operation in Kanto, and I finally found two special investigators to help with the investigation, but nothing was found.

I really can't get out of my way - so if you have time, help me take two to three days to see how I'm doing, and once that's out of the way, I'll be able to help you catch the lightning bird.

It's been a long time since I've fought anyone, but it's okay to just stop it and keep it from getting out. ”

As he spoke, under the guidance of Dr. Ohki, Wataru and Karp glanced at each other and walked in with him.

- Along the main gate is a staircase that descends to about fifty meters underground, revealing a huge space.

The place where the three of them walked was a bridge built in mid-air, and below the bridge were countless pipes, lines, and machines.

"This is the heart of my institute.

Because I had fully automated technology before, and I liked to get a lot of elves to raise, so I asked someone to help build a fully automated technology device.

Feed the elves, report the situation of the elves, monitor the status of the elves, heal injuries, prevent accidents...... This set of equipment has a lot of functions and saves a lot of labor. That's why I'm the only one in my institute who can support it. ”

With Dr. Ohki's words, Karp and Wataru vaguely understood what Dr. Ohki's problem was.

Because the answer is obvious.

- The machines under the floating bridge all ceased.

In other words, in other words, Dr. Oki, the research institute that raised countless elves, was paralyzed.

......
