Chapter 2: Sakuragi Research Institute and Koharu
Coming out of the Pokémon Center, Xia Yu did not go to find Dr. Ohki, but went directly to the Sakuragi Research Institute in Withered Leaf City.
Located on the outskirts of Withered Leaf City, the Sakuragi Research Institute covers a large area, with a large courtyard at the main entrance, and the main building is a three-story grand building with an attic.
Ascending the steps of the research institute, Xia You was just about to ring the doorbell, but suddenly heard light footsteps behind him.
He looked back and saw a young girl, wearing a white dress that resembled a student outfit, standing not far behind him, looking at him curiously.
The girl has a delicate and beautiful appearance, with long burgundy hair, which she tied into a single ponytail and combed it at will, and a pair of big eyes that are very clear, making the whole person look clean and cute.
For this girl, Xia You recognized her identity at a glance, it was the childhood sweetheart of another male protagonist, One-Ball Superman Xiaohao, who was also the daughter of Dr. Sakuragi in the seventh Pokémon anime journey!
Sakuragi Haru tilted his head and asked softly, "Excuse me, is there something wrong with you?" ”
Xia You hurriedly said, "Hello, I have something I want to ask Dr. Sakuragi for help, is he in the research institute now?" ”
"Looking for my dad?" Sakuragi Haru's eyes looked Xia You up and down, and nodded, "He's inside, come in with me." ”
Opening the door of the Sakuragi Research Institute, Natsuyu followed Sakuragi Haru through the foyer and came to a place similar to a meeting room.
He looked around, and only now did he realize that the house was really amazingly large, like a small castle, and that the layout, decoration and furnishings were still in the style of an English manor.
Pointing to the sofa in the living room, Sakuragi Haru said to Xia You: "You wait here first, my father is still working, I'll go and tell you something." ”
"I'm sorry for you."
Xia Yu nodded, and waited for Sakuragi Haru to leave, but instead of sitting on the sofa, he slowly walked to the window.
Outside the window is a dense forest, full of spring, and a little further away, there is a bustling dead leaf market, and if you listen carefully, you can faintly hear the sound of the waves.
It didn't take long for Sakuragi Haru to return here, behind her, followed by a middle-aged man with the same hair color as her.
The middle-aged man, who was about thirty-seven or eight years old, wore thick-rimmed glasses, a kind smile on his face, and a white overall.
In Xia Yu's impression, Dr. Sakuragi is not only a descendant of Dr. Ohki, but also one of the Pokémon doctors in the Kanto region, when he was young, he was already called a genius, and he has a bright future.
Seeing Natsuyu, Dr. Sakuragi was about to speak, but was attracted by the Larulasi at his feet.
"It's Larus!? It's a rare sight! ”
At this time, a low Pokémon ran in from outside the door, and when it saw Koharu, it rubbed her trouser leg affectionately.
This Pokémon resembles a short puppy, with a camel-colored color and a large lump of fluffy yellow fluff around its neck, a pair of big shiny eyes and a small tail in the shape of lightning, which looks full of vitality.
Then it saw Larulath again, and its big eyes were full of doubts, and it wanted to lean in, but it saw that Larulath's hand suddenly glowed, and it was so frightened that it quickly retreated to Dr. Sakuragi's side.
Dr. Sakuragi crouched down and touched the Pokémon's forehead.
"This is my family's Pokémon, sorry to scare you, right?"
"It's okay." Xia You shook his head slightly, "This kind of Pokémon is full of energy, and it is really difficult to make it quiet." ”
"Oh?" Dr. Sakuragi was stunned, "You know it? ”
Xia You said slowly: "Call Wang, the electric attribute Pokémon in the Galar region, there is electricity stored in the fur on their necks, so you can often see them running around while putting electricity on their heads. ”
"Well-informed, it doesn't seem like an ordinary trainer." Dr. Sakuragi didn't be too polite, but went straight to the point, "Listen to Koharu, do you have something to ask me for help?" ”
"Excuse me, Doctor, for interrupting your work." Xia You took out his Pokémon Illustrated Book, "My name is Xia You, I am from the Carlos region, I am here for the first time today, and I would like to ask you to help me upgrade its data and turn it into a Pokémon Illustrated Book for all regions of the world." ”
Taking the Pokémon Illustrated Book, Dr. Sakuragi opened it and looked at it.
"No problem, it's just a small thing, come inside with me."
Following Dr. Sakuragi, Xia Yu walked out of the living room and came to the work area of the institute, where in addition to Dr. Sakuragi, there were two assistants, a man and a woman, to assist him in his work, among which the female assistant was a chrysanthemum with a beautiful face and long dark blue curly hair, and the male assistant was a lotus who wore glasses and had unkempt hair, and looked inconspicuous but very talented.
Chrysanthemum and Renji are very good people, and under Dr. Sakuragi's introduction, both of them are very friendly.
"Hello, I'm Dr. Sakuragi's assistant, and my name is Renji!"
"Hello, I'm Chrysanthemum!"
Xia You shook hands with the two and greeted them: "Hello, I'm Xia You, I'm sorry to cause you trouble." ”
Ju Cai waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, the institute has not been officially listed yet, and our work is not too busy, so we are still very idle." ”
"That's right." Renji also agreed, "There are only a few of us in the research institute, and you can come here today to add some vitality to the research institute!" ”
At this time, Dr. Sakuragi took the Pokémon Illustrated Book, put it on the machine and operated it a few times, and after a few minutes, he handed it back to Natsuyu.
"Okay, the data has been upgraded, and now you're going to start challenging the Quartz Alliance?"
"yes." Xia You nodded, and said, "But I only have this one at present, and if I want to challenge the gym, I still need a few Pokémon." ”
Hearing the Pokémon, Renji became interested and asked, "There are so many Pokémon in Guandu, do you have any targets that you want to subdue?" ”
Xia You replied: "The three royal families, the little fire dragon, the Jenny turtle and the wonderful frog seed, I will definitely accept them, as for the other Pokémon, everything depends on fate." ”
