Chapter 464 Dr. Bratano
Chapter 464 Dr. Bratano
"Nephew, there are quite a few talented young men here to fight against the fortress this time."
Vladali sat opposite Li Luochen and laughed loudly, "It can be said that the most representative young people from all the major regions have been invited."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Li Luochen was quite curious.
He was quite curious to know just how far the four sisters of Battle City had spread their net.
Fradiley stretched out his hand and slowly began to count on the table: "In Kanto, Professor Oak's two grandsons, Green and Blue. In Johto, there's Gin, the egg-hatching boy from Wakaba Town."
"In Hoenn, both Steven and Wallace, the champions, have also received invitations. Sinnoh..."
Vladali glanced at Cattleya. "My niece-in-law is from over there, so she should know more than I do."
Li Luochen put down his cup and leaned back in his chair.
Blue, Gary, Gold, Daigo, plus myself and Cattleya.
This lineup is probably even more exciting than the exhibition match at the Quartz Convention.
The battle against the four sisters of the fortress was indeed quite a grand affair.
"Oh, by the way, Hua Yi will be going this time too. Ever since you left, that girl has been talking about you."
"Why are you nagging me?"
Li Luochen scratched his head, somewhat confused.
Vladali shrugged and said, "Heh, I wouldn't know."
The atmosphere turned slightly cold as soon as he finished speaking.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Lysad quickly changed the subject: "Nephew, I'll take you to meet someone later. It's a friend of mine, Professor Sycamore from the Kalos region."
"Oh? Dr. Blatano."
Li Luochen's eyes lit up slightly. He had heard of this authoritative scholar from the Carlos region before, but had never had the chance to meet him: "I would also like to meet him. I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Qi, later."
Vladali waved his hand: "No trouble at all."
After drinking her coffee for a while, Cattleya checked the time, put down her cup, and nodded to Li Luochen: "I'll take them shopping."
"Yay! We're going shopping!"
An Xin'er jumped down from the window, ran to Jia Deliya's side, took her hand, and looked up to ask, "Sister, can we go buy macarons?"
"Okay," Gadriya replied, and led Anxin'er, Lillie, and Acerola out the door.
An Xin'er walked at the front, taking quick little steps.
Vladali stood up, changed his clothes, and nodded to Li Luochen: "Let's go, the research institute in Bratano isn't far from here."
Li Luochen followed behind him, and the two walked out of the coffee shop one after the other.
......
......
The Bratano Institute in the city of Miare.
Unlike most research institutes, this one is located in the most bustling area of Lucerne City, where land is extremely valuable, and its scale is far smaller than Professor Oak's expansive research institute.
The building is sandwiched between two tall buildings, with a narrow facade and dark glass curtain walls. If you don't look closely, you can easily mistake it for an ordinary shop.
A small sign stands at the entrance, white with black lettering, simple to the point of being plain—Bratanot Pokémon Lab.
Vladali pushed open the door and led Li Luochen through the corridor on the first floor, which displayed various research materials, and onto the elevator leading to the second floor.
Upon arriving on the second floor, the scene before him made Li Luochen pause in his tracks.
And just then, a scene that could never be more classic unfolded.
A tall, handsome man was standing behind a long table, on which three Poké Balls were neatly arranged.
Before him stood three young rookie trainers, two men and one woman, who were gazing expectantly at the three balls on the table.
"The three of you are Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur."
Dr. Blatano's gaze swept across the three faces in turn. "Please choose your favorite Pokémon."
If this were in the Kanto region, it would be a heartwarming and classic scene.
New trainers take over the starter Pokémon from the professor and begin their own journey.
but!
This is the Carlos region!
Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur are the starter Pokémon of the Kanto region. They are the symbols of Kanto and the starting point of every trainer's memories in Kanto.
You are a Pokémon professor from the Kalos region, and you distribute the Kanto starter Pokémon to new trainers in the area.
Is this reasonable?
Li Luochen's lips twitched slightly as he glanced at Vladali.
Vladali saw through Li Luochen's thoughts, shrugged, and gave him an expression that said, "I don't really understand either."
"It's such a tough choice."
A chubby little boy wearing a mini ice-black short-sleeved shirt stood in front of the table, arms crossed, brows furrowed, staring at the starter Pokémon in front of Blatano for a long time.
Charmander is great, Squirtle is pretty good too, and Bulbasaur is also very cute!
These Pokémon are all great, but it's precisely because they're all great that he doesn't know which one to choose as his starting partner.
"Well, never mind!"
Tierno suddenly slapped his forehead, his troubled expression vanishing, replaced by a carefree and reckless attitude.
"I'm Tierno, and my dream is to become the world's greatest dancer! Does anyone want to be my Pokémon?"
After saying that, Tierno took two steps back, flicked his hands, and bounced up as if he had been sprung up by a spring, and began an impromptu dance on the spot.
Despite being overweight, she was remarkably agile when she danced, her steps light as if she were walking on clouds, her body smoothly flipping and twisting to the rhythm, and she even pulled off a beautiful Thomas Flair.
He braced himself on his hands, his legs tracing clean, crisp arcs in the air, his movements swift and decisive, without a trace of hesitation.
Li Luochen subconsciously clapped his hands.
Perhaps, he really can teach Garchomp Dragon Dance (×)
"Jenny!"
Squirtle was immediately captivated.
Those dark, shiny eyes were fixed on Tierno's spinning figure. Tierno shook his head to the rhythm, his short little legs stomped on the ground, and he started spinning around too.
Although the spin was crooked and wobbly, the dedication was no less than that.
"Alright! Then you're my partner!"
Tierno's eyes lit up. He squatted down, picked up Squirtle, and held it up to his eyes. The two looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction.
There are two Pokémon left on the table.
"Sana, you choose first." The orange-haired boy, Doroba, put his hands in his pockets and tilted his head toward the wheat-skinned girl next to him.
"Then I won't be polite."
Shana stepped forward, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then reached out and picked up Bulbasaur, rubbing it against her face. "Hmm~ I choose this one!"
"Seed~"
Wow, it's a Bulbasaur born in the Eastern Region.
Doroba then walked towards the little fire dragon.
The flames on the little dragon's tail flickered, it looked up at him, and gave a small yawn.
At this point, the three had each chosen their partners.
Tierno held Squirtle, Shana cuddled Bulbasaur, and Dorothy let Charmander perch steadily on her shoulder.
The three rookie trainers looked at each other, their smiles barely concealed.
Then, they finally noticed the two uninvited guests next to them.
Vladali leaned against the wall with his arms crossed.
Standing beside him was a tall, handsome young man with his hands casually in his pockets, his expression indifferent yet captivating.
The three of them were stunned.
"Excuse me...excuse me! Are you Mr. Li Luochen?!"
