The Research Institute is a small piece of land that Hiroshi newly designated on a high slope adjacent to the Ecological Zone's entrance two days ago.
After going uphill, the terrain here flattens into a platform, and the view is wide.
You can overlook Mt. Aocang and the mist-shrouded Jueyun Karst.
It also overlooks the lower Ecological Zone forest area.
Therefore, after enclosing the land, when Hiroshi and Ningguang were discussing various measures for the Liyue Pokémon League, he asked Ningguang to do a favor and find a construction team to repair and expand the abandoned ruins here into the main building of the Research Institute as soon as possible.
It has to be said that in prosperous Liyue Harbor, as long as the Mora is in place, the construction efficiency is really fast.
Hiroshi brought the unconscious Lurantis here.
One main duplex building has been repaired and furnished.
However, the construction team did not completely withdraw yet and was still building some functional buildings on the periphery according to Hiroshi's design drawings.
Based on Hiroshi's idea...
Just like Professor Oak's Research Laboratory in Pallet Town.
This "030" Base must at least have the functions of researching, cultivating, and caring for Trainer Pokémon.
The direction of the research is still focused on "Localizing Pokémon in Teyvat."
In other words...
To observe if the Pokémon's habits will change due to the geographical environment, elemental energy differences, and diet of Teyvat after the Ecological Zone arrived.
There is also a lot of content in cultivating this area!
One of the commissions Hiroshi received was to breed as many Growlithe babies as possible for Ningguang.
Ningguang wants to form a Pokémon unit similar to the "Officer Jenny Family" within the Millelith.
The standard equipment for elite personnel is the Growlithe.
As for the function of taking care of the Trainer's Pokémon, it can be understood as foster care or a Day Care Center.
There are too many Pokémon to carry in a team of six.
Or you are too busy with adventurer work and have no time to cultivate all your Pokémon.
All can be sent to this Research Institute for care.
However, this business content has not yet been made public.
Therefore, the first Pokémon fostered and living in this Institute was undoubtedly the Wild Overlord Lurantis brought back by Hiroshi.
The theme building built based on Hiroshi's design is three stories high.
On the first floor, there is the reception desk after entering the door, but now there is only a gorgeous long wooden table, and the nearby seating area is also fully equipped.
Hiroshi brought Lurantis to the medical room on the first floor.
He took out various healing medicines (Potions) from his inventory. Before spraying the medicine, he took warm water, a towel, and alcohol to treat the wounds of Lurantis, which was covered with scars, carefully cleaning the dirt and dried sap.
Psst!
The Spray Potion works quickly.
Some bleeding wounds quickly scabbed over.
"Pity."
"There is only one advanced Healing Machine in the main store (Nurse Joy's machine), and the Branch Store format can be replicated by the System."
"But this Research Institute, which is independent from the Store System, cannot make clones of various cutting-edge equipment yet."
Hiroshi didn't plan to take Lurantis into a Poké Ball; otherwise, he could take the ball to the main store's treatment device and heal it instantly.
However, Lurantis, as an Overlord-level Grass Pokémon, has ridiculously strong recovery power on its own.
Synthesis (Photosynthesis) can allow it to restore its vitality by absorbing light.
That's why there are scenes of Lurantis challenging Chesnaught several times despite losing.
Looking at Lurantis breathing smoothly on the treatment table, Hiroshi thought for a while, then picked up his Pokédex and took a picture.
[Group Chat Message]
Hiroshi: @Beidou @Yoimiya @Kazuha @Xingqiu @Chongyun. It has been rescued, and the Lurantis will wake up soon. You are welcome to come to the Institute to take a look at it.
The Group Chat was just talking about this one Lurantis.
They learned that the Beidou team met the airborne Manager Hiroshi.
Everyone discussed with great interest that Manager Hiroshi was like a firefighter who would also be specially dispatched to save the Pokémon.
Xiangling: Hey! Manager Hiroshi! Howling in the mud!! Hu Tao and I will come out of the Ecological Zone in a while. We don't plan to stay overnight for fear that the Overlord Gengar will come out and cause trouble for us. Where is the Institute? I want to come and see!
Hu Tao: Raise hands! Me too! We need to see the Number One Fairy in this group!
Hiroshi: [Location Attachment]
Keqing: Hiroshi, is this Research Institute open so soon? It was built at the speed of Liyue... Although it was built very quickly, various Pokémon facilities are missing. I thought it would take at least a month or two before it can be activated!
Hiroshi: Thanks also to the Yuheng and Lady Ningguang for their full cooperation and support. I am very satisfied with your Liyue speed.
Ningguang: Now that it is activated... what do you say about the thing I mentioned last time?
Hiroshi: You can bring the Beldum here.
Ningguang: OK!!
Hiroshi turned off the Group Chat interface. On the treatment table next to him, Lurantis's body suddenly trembled, and she slowly opened her light red eyes.
"Lura—!!"
The Lurantis jumped up quickly and gracefully and let out an angry cry.
Its posture was elegant and sharp.
The forelimbs looked like kimono furisode sleeves, but were actually thin and sharp flower-shaped sickle blades.
Shing——
The flower sickle cut through the air and "cut off" Hiroshi's waist with one knife...
However...
Lurantis blinked her eyes and saw the shadow of "Hiroshi" shatter into blue sparkles. She felt confused as if she had lost her target in an instant.
"Hey, are you so angry when getting up?"
At the door of the medical room, Hiroshi stood with his hands in his trouser pockets with a calm expression. He had teleported instantly.
He seemed not to be afraid of a Level 60 Overlord Pokémon getting angry.
"Little one."
"Think about what happened before you fell into a coma."
"It was I who rescued you."
Hiroshi projected the Power of Aura.
Although this ability is not like the Viridian Forest Power (healing/communication), it can directly convey emotions and intent. It can basically force a connection.
Its essence is idealism and spiritual energy.
It can be understood clearly, passing on Hiroshi's voice, emotions, and kindness to Lurantis directly to her mind.
"Lura?"
Lurantis tilted her head and lowered her sickle-like forelimbs slightly.
"Come on, you're hungry. Let's eat."
Hiroshi calmly took out a box of high-end Energy Cubes and poured them into a food bowl.
These Energy Cubes are green, light in taste, bitter, and astringent.
And this is exactly the perfect taste profile for this specific Lurantis (Dry/Bitter preference).
Clatter.
Hiroshi put down the food bowl and glanced at the detailed data in his System interface.
"There are personalities, tastes, and even various cultivation methods listed."
"If we bring this System to the Pokémon world, wouldn't we just crush everyone in the Coordinators' Contests and Breeder competitions?"
Lurantis turned her head a little arrogantly, ignoring the food initially.
However, when Hiroshi waved his hand and left, half-closing the door...
Smelling the fragrance of the fruit and nutrients that filled the room...
Lurantis swallowed her saliva carefully and unsatisfactorily.
"Lura..."
With doubt and curiosity.
Lurantis tasted the Energy Cube for the first time and chewed the first one gracefully.
Crunch.
Suddenly, Lurantis's light red eyes shone brightly, full of enjoyment and surprise.
"Lura!!"
The semi-enclosed medical room that no one cared about turned into a dining hall.
Lurantis transformed into a hungry foodie.
Rice man, rice soul! The foodie has to use a basin to eat!
In the corridor outside.
Hiroshi double-monitored and observed with Psychic Power and Aura Power. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"No one can resist delicious food!"
"Including Pokémon!"
