Chapter 562: Oda's Academic Research
Sorin hurriedly said, "Sorry, sorry, I'll just... Odaki? What are you still doing sitting there?"
Dr. Odamaki sighed, looking like a newly sentenced criminal.
But he still got up and went upstairs, taking Wang Jin to a room at the corner of the second floor.
"This is the guest room, it will be cleaned regularly." Odamaki said, and picked up a key from the key rack in the corridor next to it, "Here is the key."
"Okay, thank you."
Wang Jin took the key and went into the room to check.
The room is not big and you can see the bed as soon as you enter the room, but there is a toilet and bathroom nearby with all basic facilities.
Odamaki outside has already left.
Downstairs, you can vaguely hear the two of them arguing again.
"Oh!"
The door closed and Wang Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
After a simple wash, he fell asleep.
...
The next day.
As usual, Wang Jin got up at six o'clock and washed up.
After that comes daily meditation training and elf training.
About two hours later, at eight o'clock in the morning, Odamaki and his wife got up one after another and prepared breakfast.
Even with the presence of Wang Jin, the atmosphere at the table was still tense and cold, and no one wanted to say anything. Safiya just ate the pie with a blank expression and left the table to go upstairs.
After Wang Jin finished eating and thanked politely, he was about to continue training the elves, but was stopped by Odaki:
"Didn't we agree on this yesterday? We still have to study it today!"
Dr. Odamaki's face was serious.
Wang Jin rubbed his forehead, and thinking that he was indeed the one who said it, he had no choice but to agree.
After simply picking up their backpacks and tools, the two of them walked north out of Weibai Town along the path in front of the door and arrived at Route 101 planned by the alliance.
This Route 101 is located between Weibai Town and Gumei Town, in the middle of a small forest with many bushes and grass. Some weaker Pokémon, such as Thornier and Bugbo, live in large numbers in these bushes and grass.
Since the roads planned by the Alliance are official routes specifically provided to novice trainers of the Alliance, in order to take care of the novice trainers, some Pokémon that may bring danger are expelled or hunted.
"In the past, there were snake-like bears and coyote dogs living in these areas, but now they are gone."
In the middle of the road, Dr. Odamaki said this, bending down slightly to pick up a piece of green grass with dew on it.
"The nearest small river is several hundred meters away from here. With the movement speed of Bug-type Pokémon, it is difficult to complete a round trip in a short time."
"They mostly live by absorbing moisture from the trees... and also from the plants themselves."
As he spoke, he simply sat down in the grass, took off his backpack from behind, and took out a small folding table and two chairs.
Wang Jin didn't understand what Xiao Tianjuan meant, but he sat down anyway.
Odamaki took out a pen and paper, put on his glasses, and explained slowly, "I want to study the relationship between Pokémon and habitats... so that I can determine the possible Pokémon species in all terrains."
"Wang Jin, you should be very familiar with Galar's elves, right?"
"I heard that you guys in Galar also travel, and you go around Galar's cities to challenge gyms... Tell me about it."
He took off the pen cap and stared at Wang Jin seriously.
Odamaki is thirsty for Galar's elf knowledge.
Studying the distribution and habitat of Pokémon requires walking, seeing, and traveling more, but as a professor at Hoenn, he can only do some research in Hoenn at most.
Hoenn is his hometown, and he has studied it thoroughly. He knows what is abnormal in which area, and how the Pokémon in which area are different from Pokémon in similar terrains... Odamaki knows it all by heart.
He is very adventurous and dares to go anywhere.
But after getting married and having children, he rarely left Weibai Town.
So I am very curious about other places.
"Dr. Odamaki..." Wang Jin was also very serious, "You should know that this is against the rules."
The Pokémon knowledge of a region is a valuable resource for that region. It is not legally allowed to record and spread it, let alone inform people in other regions of the specific situation.
Of course, for the Pokémon academic community, this rule is meaningless.
But even though most researchers and almost all PhDs can easily obtain Pokémon information from various regions, they are not allowed to disseminate it to the outside world, especially publicly.
The main reason is that Wang Jin has never handed over the elf data of the Galar region, and Professor Oak has never talked about this matter... Logically speaking, it should be Ross who asked Olivia to sort it out and hand it over to the Oak Research Institute.
Without knowing the purpose, it was difficult for Wang Jin to cooperate with Dr. Odamaki.
On the other hand, Dr. Odamaki seems really unreliable.
"Uh..." Odamaki hesitated, "Then..."
Wang Jin quickly changed the subject: "Regarding what you said before, wanting to summarize the laws of elves' habitats through research, I think it is unlikely to be realized."
Odamaki immediately became alert: "Pokémon of each attribute will tend to live in an environment that suits its attribute... Fire-attribute Pokémon cannot live in the ocean, and Grass-attribute Pokémon cannot live in volcanoes and magma..."
"But that's all!" Wang Jin interrupted, "Many Pokémon have complex attributes. Moreover, Pokémon of different species will even change their attributes to adapt to the environment after migration."
"It's possible to see fire-type Pokémon in the snow, or Pokémon from the same group as some fire-type Pokémon."
Odamaki fell into thought.
He stayed in Hoenn all year round, and apart from the Academic Association, he did not have much communication and opportunities with other regions.
So I haven't seen any different kinds of Pokémon...
Odamaki asked cautiously, "Like, what spirit?"
"Do you know Alola?" Wang Jin took a pen and simply drew a nine-tailed fox on the draft paper.
"Alola..." Dr. Odamaki seemed to have some impression of it, but he couldn't remember it.
I seem to have heard someone say this, but I only heard it once or twice and didn't take it seriously.
"Is Alola a region or city in Galar?" Odamaki was confused. "Is this the Nine-Tailed Fox you drew?"
Wang Jin paused, shook his head and responded: "Alola is a region that has not yet joined the alliance. The environment there is very different from the native place of the Nine-Tailed Fox, so there is the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox."
"Ice Nine-Tailed Fox?"
Odamaki exclaimed, and asked impatiently:
"The ice-attributed Nine-Tailed Fox... do you have any information on it?"
