Frankly speaking, there is not much difference between Dr. Odamaki's research institute and the Yamanashi and Ohki research institutes.

After all, the room filled with messy books, experimental materials, and various instruments as soon as you enter the door is really too familiar.

If there was really any place where I could still rest, it was probably the sofa.

But even so, you can still see the thin blanket on the sofa and the faint marks left by time.

It is easy to imagine that some doctor went there late at night and left these things over the years.

As for the coffee table in front of the sofa, there were no instant noodle boxes scattered around as Lin Jing had imagined. It must have been cleaned up by the assistant.

but...

Lin Jing glanced at the pile of unopened instant noodles under the coffee table.

"...Dr. Odamaki, is this brand of instant noodles really that delicious?"

Lin Jing pointed to the instant noodle box with the image of Slowpoke printed on it.

There was no doubt that it was the same person he had seen at the Yamanashi Research Institute and the Ohki Research Institute.

"Well, after all, when I'm doing research I don't have much time to cook.

Even if I ask an assistant to help prepare, those meals are still very troublesome.

By the way, this brand was recommended to me by Dr. Oak.

Not only does it only take one minute to soak, but it also gives you a strong sense of fullness, as if tree fruits were added after the production process. So don’t think of it as just instant noodles, it is actually very nutritious.

It can be said that this is the most suitable food for researchers like us who often have to work. "

Perhaps because he had encountered the same question too many times, Dr. Odamaki even rushed to answer it.

...It was really recommended by Professor Oak.

Lin Jing's face was filled with black lines.

"Would you like to try it?"

Odamaki entertained politely.

"No need. In fact, Dr. Yamanashi also eats this kind of food."

Lin Jing quickly shook his head. He really didn't want to eat this instant noodles anymore.

"Doctor... not everyone can accept eating three meals a day like you.

And I've told you several times before, even if you go out, you should at least bring your Pokémon with you.

It would have been dangerous if I hadn’t met Lin Jing this time.”

A thin research assistant came over with three cups of tea and gently placed them in front of the three people.

He did not forget to give Dr. Yamanashi some instructions.

He is obviously a man, but he has the attributes of an old woman.

I guess this was arranged by the Alliance specifically for Dr. Odamaki.

If I remember correctly, Lin Jing had heard about it when he was chatting with Dr. Yamanashi before.

In the entire alliance, only Dr. Odamaki has this special treatment.

After all, this guy's habits and research route require him to run outside frequently.

The alliance even sent a reliable person to arrange his daily life.

In addition, the function in the Pokémon Encyclopedia that spreads emergency distress signals within a certain range was specially developed by people in the scientific research field because of Professor Odamaki's problem that often puts him in danger.

In a sense, Professor Odamaki alone has promoted the safety of new trainers in the wild...

Thinking back to some of the functions in his atlas, Lin Jing couldn't help but admire Dr. Odamaki.

After all, in the Pokémon world, because of the electric-attribute Pokémon in the wild and a certain green caterpillar that likes to coil in the ozone layer, the range of radio basically cannot extend beyond towns, and satellite technology cannot be activated.

In this case, they were able to find a way to communicate with the outside world, and God knows how many brain cells of those scientific researchers were killed.

Dr. Odamaki laughed at his assistant and was about to sit down to talk to Lin Jing when he heard a strange sound of "chamochamo" in his ears.

Several people in the room also subconsciously wanted to find the source of the sound.

Then I saw a free-range chicken coming out from the crack in the door.

The two small chicken claws were digging the ground quickly. There were two small wings on its small body that seemed to have not yet grown. There were also three orange feathers on the top of its head that were half the length of its head and were swaying gently.

The starter Pokémon of the Hoenn region, Fire Chinchilla.

As soon as the little guy came in, he saw four pairs of eyes staring at him. He was frightened and was about to leave quickly.

However, the voice from behind telling the little guy not to run made him rush in in panic.

Finally, its panicked eyes quickly locked onto the human among the four who made it feel most at ease, and jumped into his arms. The little guy had already squeezed into the arms of the confused Lin Jing, and then swayed his little butt, which had barely grown a tail yet, just like an ostrich trying to cover its ears and steal the bell.

"Doc! I'm sorry, I accidentally let this little guy escape."

The cracked wooden door opened, and a young-looking researcher apologized hastily.

"Nothing. I just brought this little guy here. He probably hasn't adapted to the new environment yet."

Odamaki smiled and looked at the turkey that was peeking out from Lin Jing's arms.

Lin Jing simply rubbed it twice and quickly handed the Fire Chicken over.

Although feathers feel nice and fluffy, they are still not as rubbing as the fur of Windy Dog. It is a good choice to change the taste occasionally.

But Fire Chicken looks clingy.

When he saw Lin Jing was about to send it away, his eyes immediately filled with tears, with a look of pity as if he was being abandoned.

"Haha~ Lin Jing, it seems this fire chicken likes you very much.

In that case, could you please take care of it for the time being?"

Odamaki was also happy to see this scene.

But Lin Jing’s expression was not so good.

To be honest, it’s not impossible to carry a small fluffy heater in your arms.

The issue is...

Lin Jing covered the two shaking Poké Balls on his waist and wanted to tell them that it was not his initiative this time.

Although the Fire Chicken is also fluffy, it is not that attractive to him.

Perhaps noticing Lin Jing's embarrassment and guessing that Lin Jing might not be good at dealing with such young Pokémon, Odaki stopped joking.

With his rich experience, he gently took the fire chicken and coughed.

"Well---Okay, now let's get to the point.

In fact, I invited you here for other reasons besides entertaining you."

Hearing this, Lin Jing's face became serious and he sat upright with a serious look.

It was the fiery chick flapping its two chicken claws in Odamaki's arms that really ruined the atmosphere and attracted a lot of attention.
