Chapter 314 The Birth of R! The Battle Begins!
"By the way, where did you catch the 3D Dragon? This artificial Pokémon should be very rare, right?"
Seeing that the doctor was debugging the system, Wang Yao, who was bored, asked.
"Dr. Akihabara, who created the 3D dragon, was a former student of mine. After receiving my letter, he immediately prepared two 3D dragons."
"However, due to the abnormal weather in the Seven Islands area recently, the communication of the Pokémon Transmitter has been blocked. We can only arrange for a separate team to retrieve it from Guandu."
Dr. Lumba explained.
"Abnormal climate? I see the weather has been pretty good lately?"
Wang Yao scratched his cheek and asked with some confusion.
He and Shizuka had just returned from the beach in the southern part of the island...
The sun has been shining brightly these past few days, and the sea has been calm, without the strange weather the doctor had described.
"That's because you didn't see the dark storm on the south beach a few days ago..."
"Look - three of my magnetic field measuring instruments have exploded in a row! You call this normal?"
Dr. Nabo stopped what he was doing and said unhappily, pointing at a pile of scrap metal in the corner.
"A few days ago...a dark cloud storm..."
Wang Yao immediately recalled what happened.
"Um...Shizuka-chan, do you have any clues about this?"
At some point, Wang Yao's face was already on Shizuka's little head. "... This... Well, maybe it's affected by the ocean current..."
Shizuka's head was covered with beads of sweat, and she spoke haltingly, "The abnormal ocean currents causing the magnetic field changes? This idea does make sense..."
Dr. Luo Ba did not notice the two people's little movements, but instead agreed with Shizuka's point of view.
"There was indeed an unusual current near the island shortly before the storm appeared."
"A Pokémon trainer who happened to be out at sea for training described to me how it felt at the time... It was like a giant hand descended from the sky and stirred up the sea."
Dr. Lang Bi recalled.
"So that's how it is - Ayao, what clues do you have about this?!"
This time it was Shizuka's turn to hit Wang Yao's cheek.
"Ahem... well..."
Wang Yao's brain began to overclock, and its computing power had already surpassed the supercomputer in front of him [R].
"I heard that there is an organization in the Hoenn region that wants to control the sea..."
"Yes - this must be the work of the evil water fleet!"
The righteous and wise Sheriff A Yao immediately identified the suspect.
"Water Fleet? I seem to have heard about this organization..."
"The Seven Islands are sandwiched between Kanto and Hoenn... Could this be a move by them to expand their influence?"
As a scientist of Team Rocket, although Dr. Lunbo's daily work does not involve external power struggles, he has some understanding of the situation of these peer organizations.
After all, competition among peers is often the most intense...
Especially Team Rocket, whose goal is to conquer the world... they are naturally the enemy of all external forces.
In addition, this news came from the mouth of "Black Rhino", so maybe the other party has discovered some solid evidence.
It's just that due to the presence of outsiders, it's not convenient to say it clearly.
(The Seven Islands Sea Area is a bridgehead for conquering other areas. Perhaps it’s time to send a reminder to the headquarters…)
Dr. Lubu glanced at Wang Yao secretly and thought to himself.
……
"Musashi, did you see that... that guy's head is smoking?"
Kojiro, who was doing nothing in the corner, elbowed Musashi.
"For lunch I want to go to a restaurant and have some fancy sushi, but fried noodles would be good too... huh? What did you say?"
Musashi wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and asked with a confused look on his face.
"Emmmm... It's nothing. After hearing what you said, I feel a little hungry too."
Kojiro rubbed his stomach dejectedly.
They came to hand in the task as soon as they landed, and they haven't even had breakfast yet.
"Meow, I'm hungry too..."
Hunger is contagious. Meow Meow, who originally just felt a little cold in the control room, suddenly curled up into a ball.
……
"Okay, the 3D dragon has been implanted successfully. Now [R] has the ability to think for itself."
"With the top-level computing power of this processor, it is enough to take over all the electronic equipment in the battle tower - including matching Pokémon with corresponding strength for the challengers."
After a while, Dr. Ruba finally completed the program setting of [R].
The eyes on the huge central control computer in the room slowly opened, and its gaze curiously moved back and forth between the people in front of it. "Self-examination is over - please allow me to salute you, Dr. Nanbo."
An electronic sound compiled by a computer sounded, greeting the doctor while also announcing its arrival to the world.
"Well, from now on all the work in the battle tower will be handed over to you."
Dr. Nabe nodded and gave him instructions.
"Received the order: Take over all work in the battle tower - program written successfully!"
A series of data streams flashed across R's screen. The lights in the control room flickered for less than half a second and then returned to calm.
"Well, we just need to observe for a while. If nothing unexpected happens, my job is done."
Dr. Ramba was very satisfied with R's performance.
"Okay, Ayao, if you want to participate in the battle tower challenge, now is a good time."
The main control program has been upgraded, and now a challenger is needed to test it.
"No problem. I have already made an appointment for the fight in advance. Let's go down first."
A Yao stretched himself, he was already impatient of waiting.
"Yeah! It's finally over!"
"Hooray - Okay, okay, let's go have a feast~"
"Meow, I want to eat the best cat food!"
The trio who had been waiting for a long time cheered in unison.
Fortunately, Chakra had left the control room early because of the awkward atmosphere before, otherwise he would have been angered to death again by their embarrassing remarks.
……
"Identification in progress - confirmed, Mr. A Yao and Ms. Joy!"
The staff on the first floor of the battle tower have been laid off.
Instead, R does not have to pay any extra salary.
"Your match type is a double challenge - you will be matched with a doubles opponent."
"Please register the Pokémon you want to use in advance. The team lineup cannot be changed during the challenge."
"The following are the rules for the challenge in the battle tower..."
R's program is very rigorous and the task guidance is very comprehensive.
"Hmm... do you want six per person? I have a giant crab and an Arbok..."
Wang Yao immediately began to configure the team.
"Then I have no choice... I only brought six Pokémon?"
Shizuka looked speechlessly at her boyfriend who had forced her to participate in the competition.
Then put the Poké Balls on your waist into the registration slot one by one.
Unlike Wang Yao, who always breaks the rules and has a pocket full of Poké Balls, Shizuka strictly follows the league's recommendations for trainers...
Jigglypuff, Psyduck, Sleeping Shroom, Rhinoceros, Swamp King... and the Sun Coral that Wang Yao gave her a few days ago.
There were also Picosi and Toucan that could be used...
However, because the team was full, these two senior "Pokémon caregivers" were temporarily sent by Shizuka to help Aunt Maya.
