Bai Zhou... What a good child...

Chapter 86 Bai Zhou... What a good child...

Professor Oak's eyes suddenly lit up!

This line of thinking coincided with his inner suspicion!

However, due to a lack of direct evidence, it is impossible to transform conjectures into theories.

The fact that Bai Zhou could bring this up shows that his breadth of knowledge far exceeded his expectations.

"A brilliant insight!"

Professor Oak exclaimed in admiration, then fell into deep thought.

"However, without actual cases of Pokémon with divine authority to support it, the idea of ​​'authority driving form change' will ultimately remain a hypothesis."

"Doctor, I have a way to prove it."

Bai Zhou chuckled and, under Professor Oak's puzzled gaze, lightly tapped the black dragon ring that was pretending to be dead on his collar.

"Rayquaza, say hello to the Doctor."

"Hmph, boring."

A disdainful thought came through.

The next moment, the miniature black dragon stretched out its body and spiraled up from the collar.

It raised its head, its small size barely diminishing its majesty, its golden vertical pupils displaying an air of superiority over all things, scrutinizing the old man before it who was utterly shocked.

"This—this is—Rathalos?!"

Professor Oak suddenly sprang up from his seat, gripping the table tightly with both hands, leaning forward dramatically, his eyes wide open.

The vast knowledge base in his mind was instantly activated, and all the literature and ancient legends about Rayquaza rushed out. Except for its color and size, the characteristics of the Pokémon in front of him matched the information perfectly!

In an instant, he had no more doubts.

It's hard to describe the infatuation in his eyes.

Professor Oak knew that Bai Zhou was no ordinary person, but he never expected that Bai Zhou was this extraordinary!

Rayquaza!

Legend has it that when the battle between the god of the earth and the god of the sea triggers a world crisis, the god of the sky will descend from the heavens to quell the disaster.

And it turns out that Bai Zhou is Rayquaza's trainer!

Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!

Because Professor Oak was so familiar with these legends, he found them even more incredible at this moment, and the shock was like a tidal wave crashing against his mind.

"snort!

Rayquaza frowned as he sensed Professor Oak's inquisitive gaze.

Yu Yi's overwhelming pressure suddenly surged forth, causing the research institute to tremble abruptly, and the vortex formed by the shockwave instantly turned the office into a mess.

"Lycoon, stop!"

Bai Zhou grabbed the mini Rayquaza, forcibly interrupting its display, and quickly stuffed it back into his coat pocket.

Professor Oak paid no attention to his hair, which was being blown around by the strong wind.

He excitedly circled around the table, gripping Bai Zhou's shoulders tightly with both hands. His eyes burned with fervor, and his voice trembled with extreme excitement.

"Bai Zhou! You absolutely must! You absolutely must hand over Rayquaza to me for observation and recording for a period of time! I swear! I guarantee with my entire life's research reputation! I will not allow it to suffer even the slightest damage!"

"I'm sorry, Doctor, you'll have to ask him about this yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, a small dragon head peeked out from the edge of the pocket. Rayquaza returned to White Boat's collar and looked at Ōki Hiroto with him. "Boring."

The idea remains simple.

Upon being explicitly rejected, the light in Professor Oak's eyes dimmed instantly, and he visibly slumped down, his disappointment evident.

He respected the Pokémon's wishes and did not force it.

Bai Zhou looked at Professor Oak, who seemed utterly hopeless, and almost laughed. Controlling his expression, he said with a smile:

"Doctor, what are your thoughts on the research topic?"

Professor Oak paused, his previously depressed mood instantly brightening.

Knowing that I had been stuck in this research for many years, they proactively proposed a collaborative research project.

He even went so far as to have Rayquaza appear to prove the feasibility of the theory. He also deliberately handed over the reins to me. He was completely fulfilling this old man's dream!

Thinking of this, he felt a lump in his throat.

Bai Zhou...what a wonderful child!

The next day, Bai Zhou, unusually, did not sleep in and got up very early.

The reason is simple: Professor Oak has come to visit, and his condition is visibly terrible.

His hair was a mess, his eyes were bloodshot, and his scholar's gown was wrinkled and stained with some unknown dirt.

"Professor Oak, what's wrong? Has Team Rocket attacked?"

Seeing Professor Oak's appearance, Bai Zhou was speechless for a moment, then quickly got up and poured a cup of refreshing tea for him.

"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing."

Professor Oak took the teacup and gulped down a large mouthful.

"I barely slept after talking to you yesterday."

As he spoke, he took out a document from his pocket and placed it on the table, then took out a file from his coat and handed it to Bai Zhou, continuing:

"After we talked yesterday, I looked up a lot of information, and it's basically the same as what you said. This is a paper I wrote overnight. Please take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be added or revised."

"Me? Me?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhou froze, then opened his mouth and subconsciously pointed to himself.

It looked somewhat drool-worthy.

"Well, I only know this information from the data. You are different; you should know more about this."

Professor Oak scratched his messy hair, but his eyes kept drifting towards Shirafuji's collar.

Bai Zhou took the forty-page paper and fell into deep thought.

I am correcting Dr. Oki's thesis.

real or fake?

Am I crazy, or is the world crazy?

Out of respect for Dr. Oki, Shirashu carefully read through the stack of papers.

Honestly, even though he used to deal with Pokémon that wielded divine power every day, he couldn't help but admire Professor Oak immensely at this moment.

In summary, apart from a few minor typos, Bai Zhou couldn't find a single thing that needed to be added or modified.

On the contrary, he himself learned a lot of knowledge from this paper that he had never paid attention to before.

Bai Zhou sincerely praised it.

"Perfect! Professor Oak, your paper is the most beautiful chapter I have ever read in my life."

"Hmm, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Dr. Big Wood's eyes were fixed on the scene with anticipation.

Bai Zhou gritted his teeth, quickly flipping through the fragments of memory in his mind, and after a moment's hesitation, he said:

"Perhaps we could add some minor tidbits of information? Like, the shell that Little Meteor sheds is actually one of Rayquaza's favorite snacks or something —.—"

"Little A's Assistant reminds you: Enter academia! Publish an academic paper and gain recognition and attention. As a savior, how can you succeed without knowledge?"

"Reward: The amount will be determined based on the level of recognition and attention received after the paper is published."

Cheese Snow Leopard, shut up!

Open your eyes and look at me. Do I look like someone who can make it in academia?

Despite the pop-up notification from the system, Bai Zhou's smile remained unchanged, and he continued in a relaxed tone:

"Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry. I've only just chosen my research topic, and Rayquaza isn't going to suddenly disappear. You can come and chat with it anytime you have time. I'd be more than happy to oblige."
