After a simple treatment, the mosquito coil frog was retrieved by Dr. Oki Pokéball, and in a clearing in the forest, Sika casually found a tree and sat down and leaned straight on it, exhaling deeply.

"Are you alright?"

Looking at Sika, who had some scratches on his clothes, Dr. Oki walked over, and the medicine that helped the mosquito frog treat the wound had not yet been withdrawn.

"Road."

Sika glanced at the fading abrasion on his arm that was hidden under the hair, and wanted to shake his head, but Dr. Oki's eyes were still very sharp in the realm of ordinary people, and he didn't say much, and sprayed wound medicine on his arm.

The skin is cool and whizzy. There's also a slight paralyzing feeling of something burrowing into the skin. Whether it is a wound medicine or a tree fruit, it is treated with the active energy in it, which is faster and more effective than various special medicines in the previous life.

"Looks like today's experiment is going to end early..."

[Nothing to gain? 】

"Actually, I originally wanted to take in a sea thorn dragon and go back to do research, but you should have seen what happened later, the evolved sea thorn dragon seems to be a little too irritable, I just got close, and I was attacked by almost all of their sea thorn dragons."

Looking at the fast dragon that was gnawing on the tree fruit not far away, Dr. Oki scratched his head.

"My fast dragon has a gentle temperament and kindness, which is originally a good thing, but because it is unwilling to harm other Pokémon, it is often not very keen on fighting, and it is mostly passive defense against the attacks of the sea thorn dragon..."

In this world, there are still a lot of Pokémon who are not keen on fighting. The fast dragon is not an exception, but because he is not keen on fighting, the Pokémon whose combat power has greatly decreased, Sika still finds it very unusual.

However, Dr. Oki himself is a non-combatant, and it is enough to have a Pokémon that can protect himself, at least the fast dragon is still very reliable when Dr. Oki receives an attack.

[So, do you want to catch them all?] Or just catch a few for experimentation? 】

"And it's likely that all the sea thorns in the lake have completed their evolution, even if it is calculated according to the 50% probability, there are fifty sea thorns, and it may be difficult to catch them all... It's probably enough to catch a few, right? ”

"Capturing only a few sea thorns will make it much less difficult and less likely to fail, and if you can quickly catch and take them away without them noticing, you may be able to avoid a direct confrontation with them. After all, 50% is just a guess, and if it's 100% evolution, it's not easy to capture them all."

Dr. Oki muttered, but under Sika's gaze, he quickly scratched the back of his head and gave up.

"Sure enough, things about fighting don't suit me very well... If a researcher like me were to study something, would it be true that such a thing as combat should be left to someone who specializes in combat? ”

"And they can evolve from the ink seahorse to the sea thorn dragon, and it is probably possible that they will evolve from the sea thorn dragon to the thorn dragon king collectively, in order to prevent mutations, it is better to act as soon as possible."

…

Oki Research Institute.

"The anomalous evolution of the ink seahorse?"

"The evolved Sea Thorn Dragon is very aggressive, and you know about my fast dragon."

Sika took the new research gown from Dr. Ohki's hand, but instead of changing into it, he was still wearing the torn research gown, after all, he would probably have to accompany Crimson who was talking to Dr. Ohki to the small lake for a while. If the new research gown he just got was scrapped there, Sika would probably be mad.

The new research coat was carefully folded and quietly placed in the laboratory. When he came out, Dr. Ohki was placing a Poké Ball in Crimson's hand, but if you look closely at Dr. Ohki's brow, you will see that his current mood does not seem to be so beautiful.

He asked:

"Are you sure you want to take it with you? You know, it's very aggressive towards people, and..."

"It's fine. After all these years, I can't deal with this little trouble, and I can't talk about it, can I? ”

Crimson shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't care, and then the Poké Ball was thrown lightly, and white light flashed, and Eevee, who was still semi-anesthetized, appeared in front of the two...

It seemed to know its situation, and instead of trying to continue to escape, it sat there with gloomy eyes and decadence. Silently watched as Crimson reached out to him and touched its head.

"I don't know what you've encountered before, but please advise me next."

Looking at Crimson, who was "ravaged" in his arms with Eevee, Daki wanted to say something, but he choked in his throat and couldn't say it, so he shook his head and let him go.

"That being said... Eevee's paralysis can be lifted with a yellow fruit, but I don't think this Eevee is capable enough to match your thoughts, so you should at least bring Pikachu with you. ”

"Uh, Pikachu's words... In the morning, I sent him back to Tokiwa Forest to play..."

“... What about the cat boss? Where's your Lucario? Big needle bee? How many Pokémon do you have on you now? ”

“... Not a single one is left. I mean, except for this Eevee..."
