Chapter 26 First Visit to Yamanashi Research Institute
Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. Since Dr. Yamanashi required his personal presence, he would go.
"No problem, Doctor, but I need two days to take care of things at home, and then I'll take the fastest bus to Masago Town."
Dr. Yamanashi nodded. "No rush, you take care of things at home first."
After hanging up the phone, Li Shuwen felt that Dr. Yamanashi's expression was a bit strange when he heard that he was introduced by Shark God of War, as if he wasn't familiar with his good brother.
Judging from his friend's tone, he and Dr. Yamanashi must be old acquaintances.
It's possible that his good friend contacted Dr. Yamanashi specifically to help him, but then lied to him, saying that he and Dr. Yamanashi were acquaintances and that he had simply made a phone call to get things sorted out.
Forget it, let's not think about it for now.
Li Shuwen planned to subtly inquire about Dr. Yamanashi's situation once he arrived at the Yamanashi Research Institute.
Go home first and make the local specialty I promised my good brother.
Since he didn't know what his good brother's tastes were last time, Li Shuwen prepared a variety of snacks, pastries, smoked dried goods, and massage oil for Pokémon.
Given his close relationship with his best friend, since his best friend hadn't said anything, everything he prepared was to his liking.
Then there's no need to change the product category; just prepare more and send them over this time.
Since it's vacuum-packed, even pastries and snacks can have a shelf life extended to one month, and if frozen, they can last for half a year.
However, it will affect the taste, so it's best to finish it within a month, or even half a month.
On Li Shuwen's way home, the little man who was preparing to report the Veil Dojo also went to the Veil Dojo to challenge it, wanting to collect evidence that the Veil Dojo had changed its leader without authorization.
When he entered, he was surprised to find that the gym leader who was accepting the trainer's challenge had turned out to be the middle-aged fighting uncle registered on the Sinnoh League's official website.
The sky is falling!
How is he supposed to collect evidence now?
He wasn't even focused on the fight, and was easily defeated by Lung Mist Old Man.
As A-Yuan stepped out of the curtained dojo, his expression turned somewhat fierce.
He refused to believe that he couldn't find a loophole in the Curtain Dojo.
Halfway there, Li Shuwen ran into A Yuan.
Li Shuwen frowned slightly, but still smiled and went forward to greet him.
"Ah Yuan, you're challenging the Veiled Dojo again?"
A-Yuan forced a smile. "Yeah, I didn't expect the gym leader to be a different person today. It caught me off guard."
Li Shuwen smiled and said, "The Veil Dojo is currently jointly managed by my father and me, but it will soon be managed by me alone. You are welcome to come and challenge me again then."
A Yuan was somewhat surprised and uncertain. Had his little trick been discovered?
"I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Watching A Yuan's retreating figure, Li Shuwen narrowed his eyes. This kind of treacherous villain must be killed once and for all to prevent future troubles.
Li Shuwen returned to the dojo and told his little sister and Lung Mist Dad the good news about Heartscale's evolution.
Both of them looked very excited; the younger sister jumped up, shouting, "Yay!"
The old man with lung fog stared wide-eyed. "So, does that mean once you submit the change request, I can go back to the arcade and focus on playing games?"
Li Shuwen shook his head. "You must stay at the gym until the league approves your application."
After the review is approved, Li Shuwen will be given a period of internship.
At this point, he can handle all the challenges at the Veil Dojo.
Through the internship, applicants can understand whether they have the potential to become a gym leader and whether they can adapt to the work and life of a gym leader.
If possible, then conduct the assessment.
This is a two-way process: the league selects suitable gym leaders, and the gym leaders select suitable jobs.
I spent two days buying local specialties from Veil City and making them into pastries, snacks, and dried goods.
Depending on the storage time, labels are attached suggesting the order in which to consume the food.
While Li Shuwen was making the food, Li Meining often sneaked snacks from the side, enjoying the cookies, candies, and pastries.
When the two siblings went to the post office, Li Shuwen pushed a small cart while Li Meining ate a box of freshly baked mung bean cakes.
"It's so delicious! Next time Sister Cabbage comes, can you make some for her to take home? These sweet pastries are much better than the incense you gave me last time, right?"
The incense has a sophisticated style, is small in size, and is easy to take with you.
We can't exactly ask him to pack a whole box of cabbages and take them home, can we?
Upon arriving at the post office, the courier greeted Li Shuwen warmly.
"Shuwen, sending something to a friend again?"
"Still Suzuran City, same address as last time, but this time there are more items."
Looking at the three large boxes on the cart, the deliveryman was somewhat surprised. "Shuwen, you've really gone all out!"
Li Shuwen waved his hand, "They were all made by myself, they're not worth much."
"Come and weigh yourself."
The three boxes together weighed over 200 kilograms.
The express delivery fee alone cost Li Shuwen 5,000 Alliance Coins.
Back home, Li Shuwen began packing his bags.
"Little sister, train Riolu well, keep an eye on Dad, and don't let him spend all his time at the arcade. I'll bring you a present when I get back."
"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"
As soon as Li Shuwen boarded the bus and watched it head towards Zhensha Town, Lung Fog Old Man wanted to head straight to the game city.
"Dad, where do you want to go?"
Lung Mist Old Man chuckled, "Little Ning, you're ten years old now, a qualified trainer. How about we put the Veil Gym under your management for a while?"
"Prove your abilities, and it'll give your dad a break too."
I limit my gaming time each day, and I have to go home when I'm really enjoying myself.
It's really hard.
After less than five days, the old man with lung ulcers couldn't hold back any longer.
Li Shuwen submitted another change request, and this time he couldn't take it anymore.
Li Meining chuckled. "Li Meining, the owner of the Curtain Dojo, seems pretty good too."
"Alright, I'll leave it to you!"
Li Shuwen never expected that his private, Ning, would be persuaded to defect so easily.
I took a nap on the bus and woke up to find that we had arrived in Masa Town.
After getting off the bus, I went straight to the Yamanashi Research Institute.
Upon entering the research institute, I saw two researchers with serious expressions, looking at the documents in their hands and discussing something.
"Hello, I'm Li Shuwen, here to record the data for Hot Monkey."
Upon hearing Li Shuwen's voice, they finally noticed who had arrived, and their expressions suddenly relaxed.
"We'll take you to see the doctor!"
Inside, Dr. Yamanashi was sternly reprimanding a researcher.
It seems to be due to an error in the data statistics.
"Doctor, Li Shuwen, whom you've been waiting for, has arrived."
Upon seeing Li Shuwen, Dr. Yamanashi finally smiled.
"That's all for now. Take Shuwen to a room to stay in, and then we'll conduct the first data measurement of the Fire Monkey."
The three men stood at attention with serious expressions. "Yes, Doctor!"
Dr. Yamanashi returned to his office to continue working, and the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Has Dr. Yamanashi always been like this?"
The three nodded. "The professor is very serious about his research and cannot tolerate any mistakes. I accidentally included the Treecko data in the Torchic's table just now."
"Such a basic mistake naturally enraged the doctor."
Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "The Yamanashi Research Institute still has starter Pokémon from the Hoenn region?"
