“Xiao Kai, what happened to you?” After Dong Gang left, only Chen Kai and his uncle were left in the living room. His uncle looked at Chen Kai with a worried expression, his brows tightly furrowed into a ‘Chuan’ character, and his tone was filled with confusion and anxiety:
“Such a valuable Plume Fossil, you just exchanged it? Didn't you just say you were short on money? Why are you making such a decision now? This… Sigh…”
The uncle became more agitated as he spoke, gesturing with his hands in the air: “How much is that Plume Fossil worth? I’ve heard of that fish head fossil. What use could you possibly have for exchanging for that fossil? Don’t be foolish.”
Chen Kai looked at his uncle’s anxious expression and couldn't help but smile, comforting him: “Uncle, don’t worry, I have my reasons for doing this. Last night I was still worried, but now I won’t be short on money anymore.”
After speaking, Chen Kai turned and went back to his room.
A moment later, he came out holding a large bag, walked up to his uncle, and handed him the bag with a mysterious smile on his face.
His uncle took the bag doubtfully and slowly opened it.
Upon seeing what was inside the bag, he gasped, his eyes wide like copper bells, his face filled with shock.
The bag was full of mega evolution stones emitting a mysterious glow, of all kinds, and in astonishingly large quantities.
His uncle stammered, “Xiao… Xiao Kai, where… where did all these come from?”
Chen Kai continued to smile and explained: “Uncle, I went to France for a trip before and accidentally stumbled into a mine. I didn’t expect it to be full of mega evolution stones, so I picked them all up!”
Chen Kai added: “And Grandma Ju knows about this too.”
He thought to himself, since Grandma Ju accepted Sableye’s mega evolution stone, she would definitely be able to “testify” for him on this matter.
His uncle was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while. After a long moment, he recovered, took a deep breath, patted Chen Kai’s shoulder, and said solemnly: “Xiao Kai, your luck is too good.
But these mega evolution stones are no small matter. Your uncle will definitely help you handle this properly, so don't worry.”
Chen Kai looked at his uncle gratefully: “Then I’ll trouble you, Uncle. I also want to handle these well. The road ahead is long, and this way I can have more resources to train my Pokemon.”
His uncle nodded, his eyes filled with relief: “It’s very good that you think that way.”
At this moment, Chen Kai clapped his hands and suddenly said: “Oh! By the way, Uncle, I remember your recent research topic is about resurrecting broken Pokemon fossils, right?”
His uncle’s gaze and thoughts were on the bag of mega evolution stones in his hand. Hearing Chen Kai mention it, he turned his head to him curiously: “Yes, why are you suddenly asking about this?”
Chen Kai leaned closer and asked with a sly expression: “Hehe, Uncle, how’s your research coming along?”
His uncle pushed Chen Kai aside: “Why are you concerned about this?”
However, since his nephew asked, he opened up and poured out his grievances: “Speaking of this, it’s a headache for me too.
This topic was originally intended to combine some overly broken but identical species of fossils, so that fossil Pokemon that couldn't be revived could be resurrected.
As a result, I tried dozens of times, for example, combining fragmented Omanyte fossils, but there was no way to revive them.”
As he spoke, his uncle scratched his increasingly sparse scalp: “It’s a headache. On the contrary, Zhao Mingzhu has made great progress in her research. I estimate she will be promoted to section chief soon, and she will even establish a completely new department on her own.”
Chen Kai grinned and took out the tail fossil he had hidden last night: “Hehe, Uncle, why don’t you help me try combining this fossil with the fish head fossil later to see if it can be revived?”
His uncle asked in confusion: “Huh? Why? Xiao Kai, even fossils of the same species don’t work, let alone these two completely unrelated fossils.
You spent a great deal to get this; it’s not child’s play, don’t mess around!”
“Sigh, Uncle, you can’t say that.” Chen Kai raised his index finger and gently shook it twice, “Sometimes, combining different things can produce wonderful chemical reactions, achieving a 1 + 1 greater than 2 effect. I think this fish head fossil and this tail fossil can produce a wonderful reaction!”
His uncle almost choked on Chen Kai’s words. He wanted to kick his nephew and said helplessly: “Stop being so glib. Your uncle is from a science background, and I’m a section chief at the Capital Academy of Sciences. I can prove what 1 + 1 equals myself!
And I know more about chemical reactions than a high school student like you, alright!”
Chen Kai scratched his head. He wasn't sure if these two fossils could revive a Dracovish, but they did look very similar to the patterns in the game.
So, Chen Kai softened his tone and pleaded: “Uncle, just give it a try! I think it will work.”
Since his nephew said so, his uncle had no choice, and this was also part of his research topic: “Sigh, alright, but let me make it clear beforehand, it’s almost impossible to succeed.
If the two fossils are ruined, don’t be sad.”
Chen Kai quickly said: “No, no, it’s fine even if it doesn’t work, and I have confidence in you, Uncle!”
His uncle shook his head helplessly. How did his nephew become more and more troublesome in the past few months?
And Dong Gang quickly returned with the fish head fossil, after all, his Gym was very close to Chen Kai’s home.
Subsequently, Dong Gang excitedly took a photo with the Plume Fossil, and then handed the Plume Fossil back to Bai Zhaoxing.
After all, Dong Gang couldn't revive fossils; such matters had to be entrusted to professionals.
For the next two days, Chen Kai was free, but his uncle seemed incredibly busy; Chen Kai hadn't seen him again.
During this time, Chen Kai saw Zhao Mingzhu once; she was also very busy and just greeted him before going off to another meeting.
The strangest thing was that his grandparents had been looking at Chen Kai with a strange gaze these past few days, as if they had something to say but were hesitant.
Chen Kai planned to book a flight back to Sichuan Province, but his grandfather even told him not to book it.
This left Chen Kai completely confused.
During this period, Teacher Ye Gai was also nowhere to be seen, Senior Lu Yang and Bai Yuchun had classes, and his two good friends were also busy with their studies.
Chen Kai became a “lone wolf,” only able to wander the streets of the Capital alone.
However, he couldn't stay idle. He first went to the park to spar with old men in Pokemon battles.
But for the old men, raising Pokemon was just a hobby to pass the time, similar in nature to his grandfather raising Swablu.
They couldn't withstand the onslaught of Xiao Mei, Big Boss, and Grovyle under Chen Kai’s command, and soon cried out in misery.
Chen Kai then went to a more distant place.
He actually found a battleground where Pokemon enthusiasts spontaneously gathered.
Although they were not professional Pokemon trainers, they had been raising Pokemon for a long time, and their levels were similar to those of the Pokemon under Chen Kai’s command.
Chen Kai felt much more comfortable battling here.
