He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4231 Pokémon Legends: Galar

Soon, led by Sonia, Ash and his companion officially entered the research institute.

"This is Xiaoyou, a friend of mine."

Xiao Zhi then introduced them, and the two nodded and greeted each other.

Xiaoyou was also curiously observing Sonia. The "self" in her dream seemed to be very familiar with this young and beautiful Pokémon professor, and they often made contact.

But her peripheral vision was soon drawn to the interior furnishings of the research institute.

This place is less of a research institute and more like a private library.

In the double-height space, huge bookshelves are embedded in the walls on both sides and connected by a spiral staircase.

Sunlight streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and a faint scent of paper and ink filled the air, creating a classical and tranquil atmosphere.

Xiao You looked around and couldn't help but sigh:

"This feels like the perfect place to have afternoon tea and read a book!"

Ash looked at Sonia with considerable surprise:

"I didn't expect your research institute to be like this?"

The art style seems a bit mismatched with Sonia's outgoing and carefree personality.

Sonia gave a dry laugh, then accepted it as a matter of course:

"Hehe, don't look at me like that~"

Of course, this place was actually built by her grandmother, and the decoration and layout style naturally reflects her grandmother's preferences.

According to her aesthetic sense, she would have switched to a minimalist modern style long ago.

"Let's go, my grandma is already waiting for you inside."

Sonia quickly changed the subject and led the two inside.

He began to have doubts.

Strangely, her grandmother had already retired and handed over the entire research institute to her, so she rarely came here anymore.

I actually arranged to meet Xiaozhi and the others here today?

Pushing open the door to the inner room of the research institute, the furnishings here are more like those of an ordinary residence.

However, there were also many sophisticated instruments and various display whiteboards inside the room.

The uprights are covered with dense text descriptions, or interspersed with some complex sketches.

Dr. Mulan was sitting at the table, clearly having been waiting for some time.

She still wore those triangular-framed glasses on her nose, and her hair was neatly tied up with a hairband.

Today, quite unusually, she wore a white coat, a symbol of her researcher status, over her light yellow dress, making her look very serious.

"Dr. Mulan, it's been a long time!"

Xiao Zhi quickly went to greet them politely.

"Hello, my name is Xiaoyou, and I'm Xiaozhi's friend!"

Xiaoyou nodded quickly, slightly reserved, as this person was an academic authority in the Galar region.

"Hehe, no need to be so serious, I'm just a retired old lady now~"

Dr. Mulan waved her hand lightly, her tone casual.

Then he turned his gaze and looked at Ash:

"By the way, Ash, how's your Meltan doing now?"

Xiao Zhi paused for a moment, then quickly remembered.

It was Dr. Mulan who told him about Meltan's evolutionary process.

"Following your advice and after consuming a lot of Meltan Experience Candies, I have successfully evolved!"

Xiao Zhi answered with a smile.

He then looked around the room; it wasn't too cramped. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the Poké Ball out.

boom!

As the red light fell, a metallic giant landed heavily on the ground.

"Meta—!!"

Upon entering the scene, Melmetah, as if by muscle memory, raised his metal arm and let out a high-pitched and extremely oppressive roar.

Dr. Mulan narrowed her eyes slightly, a satisfied smile curving her lips: "Not bad. It seems your strength is indeed quite formidable."

Sonia, standing next to her, was also looking around curiously, her eyes full of wonder.

A Pokémon I've never seen before.

However, she had seen it in her grandmother's research notes; it seemed to be a rare mythical Pokémon?

Ash has a lot of good stuff!

"Come back first~"

After a brief demonstration, Ash patted Melmet's arm and put it back.

Indoor residences cannot withstand the ravages of the Mero Meta.

The group then took their seats.

The researcher's assistant who had just opened the door brought in tea, arranged the teacups neatly, and then quietly left the room.

Dr. Mulan picked up her teacup, but instead of drinking it, she turned her gaze to her granddaughter.

“Sonia.” Her tone was calm, but her expression became noticeably more serious.

"Listen to what happened today too."

Sonia blinked her beautiful eyes, then looked at the two people at the opposite table with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Zhi and Xiao You exchanged a glance, and the former gave a knowing look.

Xiao You nodded solemnly, sat up straight, and began to slowly recount her story—

"I work at Watt's shop, and I heard this from a senior member of the Watt business. It may not be true."

She did not give a complete and truthful account of the "other self"; it was too fantastical and beyond the comprehension of normal people.

Of course, Ash isn't considered a normal person yet.

So she used the Watt merchant as a cover, a half-truth and half-falsehood.

Xiao You paused for a moment, then lowered her voice:

"It is said that two months from now, on the day of the Alliance Conference, President Loz will summon a... well, an extremely large dragon!"

"Then, they attempted to rule the Galar region!"

This was the version of events she and Xiaozhi had agreed upon beforehand.

Ash can trust Sonia 100%.

But Dr. Mulan only met him once in total.

Although she is indeed a kind and reliable senior, no one knows what Dr. Mulan will do after this is revealed.

Anyway, all we need to do is direct the blame at Chairman Rose!

"."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Mulan, sitting opposite him, indeed became much more serious, her expression becoming quite solemn.

Before she could even speak, Sonia, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but speak up first.

"How is this possible?!"

She suddenly stood up and slammed her hand heavily on the table, making the teacup shake.

"How could Chairman Loz possibly do such a thing?!"

She recently wrote a paper outlining the true history and mythology of Galar, and gave it a cool title: "Pokémon Legends: Galar".

He handed it over to Chairman Loz.

The other party not only read it carefully, but also gave her high praise afterwards, and even promised to help promote it after the paper was published.

They might even cooperate to help investigate who was secretly altering historical evidence behind the scenes.

Therefore, her favorability towards President Lorz has greatly increased!

Sonia bit her lip, retorting repeatedly, her speech unconsciously quickening:

"Besides, the idea of ​​ruling the Galar region doesn't make any sense at all!"

With Chairman Loz's current wealth, status, and influence, he has already "ruled" the Galar region; there's absolutely no need for him to do anything else superfluous! (End of Chapter)
