"Yo Xi, it's okay to send it here, it's a lot of trouble during this time, thank you so much."

Under the Oki Research Institute, a bearded uncle in a brown short-sleeved shirt and a young man in white Uesugi brown shorts waved at the driver of the white sedan that picked them up. Odamaki watched his car go away, and then he crossed his hands on his hips and turned to look at the research institute.

"Hey, it's been a long time since I've come to take a look, the institute is still the same."

"It's not a good thing to say, but doctor, research institutes don't usually change in a short period of time, right..."

His assistant Qiao Xiu complained silently.

"Don't worry about these details, anyway, I finally found time to visit, and I don't know if Dr. Ohki is okay."

"I just saw Dr. Oki a few days ago, he's very energetic and feeding Pokémon..."

"Ahem, okay, okay, let's go."

Xiao Tianmaki touched his head helplessly, then flipped the shoulder bag on his shoulder, lifted his sun hat, and thought about walking towards the gate of the institute. Qiao Xiu hurriedly followed, and the two stopped in front of the gate.

Odamaki clicked on the phone next to the pillar, and then a message from Dr. Oki's familiar voice came from the phone:

"This is the Oki Research Institute, and I'm the Pokémon researcher at the Research Institute, Yukinari Oki. If you need to leave a message if you need to leave a message, if you want to use the doorbell..."

"Hmm... What's the password? Think about it..."

The uncle didn't press 1, but reached out and clicked on 7. The voice of only listening to the message changed to an emotionless robot phonograph:

"Please enter your password."

"Huh?"

Qiao Xiu looked at Dr. Odamaki, who was directly doing it, and was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Dr. Odamaki had left a message with Dr. Oki before, and he left the password for the gate directly. Does Dr. Ohki have something to do so he goes out?

No, it doesn't seem like that's the point, the point is when will Dr. Odamaki be able to remember the password and that kind of thing?

Qiao Xiu turned his head, but he already knew the near future in his heart.

“750...A843？”

"Please re-enter your password."

After pressing the wrong password, the uncle's brows were almost wrinkled. I simply didn't want to think about it directly, and stretched out my hand and lit the doorbell next to it.

After a while, the door of the research institute was pushed open, and a humanoid Pokémon in a white coat stood in the doorway, glanced at them slightly, and silently walked down the stairs towards the door.

Qiao Xiu was stunned for a moment, and Dr. Xiao Tianjuan beside him touched his beard, and said with some hesitation:

"It's... No... Lucario? How..."

Because the stairs at the entrance of the research institute were only a few steps away, Sika had already reached the door when they were in a daze. Glancing at the two of them slightly, remembering what Dr. Oki had instructed before, he stretched out his hand and lightly clicked the "Open" button at the door.

The iron lock hidden in the stone pillar "clicked" to untie, and then it pulled the door and bowed its head slightly:

[Welcome to the Oki Research Institute, Dr. Odamaki, assistant to Qiao Xiu.] 】

The voice sounded in his head crisp and clear, making the two of them come back to their senses slightly, although Qiao Xiu was a little more confused, but four words flashed in Dr. Odamaki's mind: telepathy.

Is it Lucario who is proficient in superpowers, or his own waveguide abilities?

[My name is Sika, and Dr. Oki instructed me to entertain you before leaving.] Dr. Oki is vaccinating Pokémon in the backyard, so if you don't mind, you can come in and wait for a while, and the doctor will probably be back soon. 】

Sika, whose mind is full of "why do I want to do these things", is constantly doubting the cause of self-existence, but his face does not show the slightest expression. Although it is also possible that the fur is vigorous, and the expression is completely hidden underneath.

“... Uh, okay. ”

Anyway, the two followed Sika into the research institute. Surprised, Odamaki felt that the research institute was still kept a certain amount of cleanliness.

"I heard from Da Mu that his assistant was temporarily on leave for some personal matters, and I thought there would be chaos in the institute."

Xiao Tianmaki took a sip of the tea that Sika brewed casually, sat on the sofa, watched Sika put the prepared refreshments on the table, and said with a smile:

"It turns out that I have already decided on a temporary assistant."

[It's just just a good help.] 】

"It's a bit presumptuous..."

Qiao Xiu, who was sitting next to the doctor, asked:

"Your ability to speak..."

[It is the use of the power of the unique waveguide.] 】

"So, isn't it mental power..."

"In a sense, the waveguide is actually a kind of spiritual energy, although the two cannot replace each other, but there are many things that can be done by the spiritual power, and the power of the waveguide can also be done. Building spiritual connections is an example of this. ”

Odamaki explained for his assistant, then looked up and asked:

"I wonder when Dr. Ohki will be able to return?"

"Of course we're not in a hurry, we just want to know about it."

[I'm sorry, but I don't know. 】

Sika shook his head, he was only the first day he was caught by Damu. Looking at Dr. Odamaki, who still had a little impression in his distant memory, he asked:

[I don't know if there is anything important to visit the doctor during this visit?] 】

"Actually, it doesn't really matter, it's just that some ideas have come up in some daily Pokémon research that I want to discuss with the doctor... Of course, more of them just come and sit casually, and there is nothing important to do. ”

Xiao Tianmaki took two or three refreshments and stuffed them into his stomach, straightened up and stretched.

"I'm back."

Qiao Xiu saw Sika's eyes looking out of the window at this time, and when he looked back, a sturdy fast dragon was flapping its wings and slowly landing in the courtyard, and a white-haired old man wearing the same style as Sika climbed down from Kuailong's body and was gently slapping Kuailong's forehead.

Naturally, Xiao Tianmaki and Qiao Xiu were no strangers to Dr. Ohki, and they all stood up and walked towards the door.

"Dr. Ohki, long time no see."

"Dr. Ohki."

"Hey, it's Odamaki, it's really a long time since I saw you."

Dr. Oki took the dragon back, turned his head and saw Dr. Kotamaki walking towards him, and said with a smile:

"I thought you'd come a little later, but you're already there."

"Well, because I met a friend I knew before on the way, I was sent here because I was passing by."
