Chapter 863: Science's Last Wish!

The group followed Brickalon and came to a dilapidated factory building in the wilderness.

Xitron changed his tired attitude and looked around with great interest, "Does this have anything to do with that robot?"

Brickalon stood quietly outside. A group of people slowly walked in. There was no one inside, only silence.

Xitron's eyes were sharp, and he immediately found the parts related to the robot. "This is indeed related to the robot!"

"It seems like there are plants being cultivated there!" Serena's eyes were attracted by some abandoned petri dishes, as if someone had conducted experiments here.

And the robot did say that it was cultivating seeds, like a hardworking gardener, silently guarding the land.

"Look!"

Yulijia found a photo on the wall. In the photo, Brikaron and the robot looked like close friends. Next to them was a white-haired old man wearing a white coat from the research institute. His eyes revealed wisdom and kindness. He should be the owner of this factory.

The old man had a kind and amiable smile, and he and Bricaron beside him also smiled particularly happily. I believe the relationship between them must be very deep.

It seems that the robot was made by this old man, but seeing that no one is maintaining it, I wonder what the old man’s current situation is.

"Brother, what are you doing here?" A boy with glasses who was about the same age as Yulika appeared at the door.

There was Brickalon guarding outside, but the child was able to come in, which meant he must be acquainted with Brickalon. And since he asked this question, he must have a close relationship with the old man.

The group introduced themselves, and Xiaozhi raised his lips and asked with a smile, "Is the old man in this photo related to you?"

"My name is Hiro, and that's my grandpa!" As expected by Xiaozhi, Hiro immediately asked, "Why did you come to Ichigaya Research Institute?"

"Because we are very curious about the robot outside!" Hitlon replied with a smile.

Hiro came to the table and pressed the space bar on the computer. "If you want to know what happened to Luo Ben, you will understand after reading this!"

The computer had a recording of Mr. Ichigaya's last words, which was set to play on the spacebar. "My name is Ichigaya, and I'm a scientist who is dedicated to researching ways to create a happy living environment for Pokémon!"

"This beautiful forest is like a dazzling emerald, shining with the light of life. It has a very rich natural ecology and is home to many wild Pokémon!"

In this video, Mr. Ichigaya carefully edited the original appearance of this wilderness, which were all photos he took when he was here before.

This wilderness used to be full of lush forests, gurgling waters, and full of vitality, like a colorful painting. In the painting, you can see many kinds of Pokémon living freely here.

"But one day, the forest began to wither. I had planned to explore the cause of the forest's withering, but I didn't expect to have an incurable disease!"

It turns out that old man Ichigaya has left this world.

"I used up the last of my energy to develop the robot Loben that can regenerate the forest, and my life has come to an end!"

"The forest has withered. Pokémon and humans have all left. The only ones we can rely on are this Loben and Brickalon!"

"If they encounter any difficulties, please help them as much as possible. This is my last bitter wish in life!"

The video ends here, but the wish revealed by Mr. Ichigaya is like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of Xiaozhi and his friends hard, and moving them deeply.

Until the end of his life, the old man hoped to restore the vitality of the forest.

Hiro continued, "Even though Grandpa has passed away, Loben continues to sow seeds. As long as Brikaron is still here, he will always protect Loben!"

At this moment, the Loben robot returned to the charging station to charge like a loyal soldier.

Citron exclaimed, "It turns out it can charge itself."

This research institute has its own solar power generation device, which is like an inexhaustible source of energy under the scorching sun in this wilderness. It is believed that it can provide electricity for Luoben for a long time.

Hiro nodded, "But lately it's been taking longer and longer to charge. It must be because Luo Ben keeps pushing himself and it's about to break down!"

Hearing this, Xiaozhi patted Xitron's shoulder. Now was indeed the time for him to show his skills.

"We can say that we came here by chance, and happened to see Mr. Ichigaya's wish, and were begged by the old man like this, so we have no reason not to help!" Xiaozhi smiled.

Serena and Yurika also smiled and agreed!

"Let me see!" Hitlon skillfully removed the cover of Loben. The motor inside was actually sparking, but he smiled, as he had found the problem.

"My brother is an inventor, so you can leave all the mechanical issues to him." Yulijia stood next to the little brother and introduced him proudly.

But unexpectedly, A Guangda shouted, "Stop it!"

"I hope that Loben and Brikalon can stop doing these jobs. I have always hoped so!" He gently stroked Loben, who was shaking all over because of charging, with his eyes full of heartache, "Because they have been working hard enough!"

Xitron made some simple repairs and put the cover back on before he slowly said, "Loben's goal is to revive the beautiful forest. Instead of stopping them, why not find a way to help them? Isn't it better to revive the forest?"

"But, they have tried so hard and still have nothing to show for it. There is nothing they can do..." The young A Guang sees no hope for this forest.

Xitron stood in front of him and placed his hand on his shoulder. "If you choose to give up, science will stop progressing at that moment. Never give up hope and continue to challenge yourself, so that science can continue to progress!"

This is Hitlon’s awareness as an inventor!

After hearing this, Guang was so excited that ripples appeared on the surface of a calm lake. Xitron's awareness and strength were like a beam of dazzling light, which made him see hope again. "I want to help too, so that grandpa's wish can come true!"

Xiaozhi gently patted Xitron's shoulder and said, "Then put more effort into renovating and maintaining it! It would be best if it could be made to look brand new!"

Citron agreed without hesitation. Xiaozhi looked at Serena and Yurika, "Yurika, you and Hiro stay here with your brother. Serena, let's go out with Brikalon to investigate the reason why this forest is withering!"

Mr. Ichigaya died of illness during the investigation, leaving only the robots Loben and Bricaron who kept trying to plant, but they were never able to cultivate any plants.

This also makes the reason why this place became deserted a mystery, like a mystery shrouded in fog. If the reason is not investigated, everything that Loben and Brikalon have done will of course be in vain.

Xiaozhi has used the power of nature to bring life back to the desert more than once, but this time he knows that all previous attempts were due to insufficient nutrients in the soil to support plant growth.

But this time is different. What is lacking this time is water. Simply using the power of nature to summon a heavy rain is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. We must find the root cause of the water depletion.

Serena looked at Xiaozhi in confusion, "How are we going to find water?"

"Of course leave it to me!" Xiaozhi smiled confidently, and used all his strength to activate the wave power in his body, and began to explore downwards like a radar.

Not long after, he finally found the location of the underground river.

Just then, Hitron and his team came over with their brand new robot Loben. Upon learning that Xiaozhi had discovered the location of the water source, he immediately threw out a Poké Ball, "Please, Digger!"

The Digger Rabbit used his special skill of digging holes and soon dug a big hole, but soon stopped because it hit the wall.

There was actually a huge rock underground. After Xiaozhi's investigation, he found that it was a big rock with a diameter of 10 meters. It seemed that it was blocking the water source!

"There's an obstacle here!"

After discovering the big rock, Loben, which had been renovated by Hitron, began to emit a series of mechanical prompt sounds, and two beams of light shot out from his eyes to scan the huge rock, first to confirm the exact position and shape of the rock.

"Rock removal system, activate!"

"Start removing the rocks!"

Its body deformed again, and three giant gears were arranged in parallel to form the shape of a stone crusher. A thruster appeared behind it, and it slammed into the boulder with a slam.

"So Loben has this kind of tool?" Hitron was also shocked. He had repaired Loben himself, but he still didn't understand Loben's entire design.

It is obvious that the inventions and designs of this old man Ichigaya are even better than those of Hitlon.

This robot, Loben, also has artificial intelligence. Although it has a body of steel, it has a gentle and warm heart.

Xitron's eyes lit up and he was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, "Loben is so reliable!"

"Come on!" Serena and Yurika also cheered for Luo Ben.

After a while, the huge rock broke into pieces, and the underground spring water gushed out as if it had been suppressed for a long time, throwing Luo Bendu out, as if celebrating its victory.

"There's water!" Luo Ben also cheered.

Xiaozhi smiled, waved his hand, swept up the water, and splashed it over the entire wilderness. With the nourishment of the water, he believed that the wilderness would soon recover its vitality.

"Grandpa's dream can finally come true!" A Guang was confident. After seeing Loben's true power, he believed that this beautiful forest would be restored with the efforts of Loben and Brikalon.

Xitron looked at the water column in front of him and said, "When I was repairing Loben, I found that every part of it was assembled with full love!"

"One day, I want to be an inventor with ambitious goals like Dr. Ichigaya!"

Xitron was very active today, which also affected A Guang's heart. "I also want to move towards the path of science like Brother Xitron. If Luo Ben breaks down in the future, I can fix it myself!"

The bond between Mr. Ichigaya and this forest will be continued by Hiro.

To be continued…
