Chapter 53 Yuanquanhe Laboratory

Yuanquanhe Laboratory.

It was taken from one character in Lin Shuyuan's and Qin Quanyun's names, and then added with the character "合", implying a long-lasting marriage. This might be the romantic sentiment in the bones of the literati, Xia Yu thought.

Yuanquanhe Laboratory has been established for more than 40 years. It is the most famous Pokémon laboratory in the imperial capital and even in the whole country. The reason is simple: Yuanquanhe is the first laboratory in the whole of China to successfully develop the Z bracelet and Z moves.

After the Z bracelet was developed, the main developers, Mr. Lin and Mrs. Qin, also retired to the second line and handed over the laboratory to their eldest son Lin Xueyun. However, the two elders would go to the laboratory two or three times a week.

…………

"Mr. Lin."

When Mr. Lin took Xia Yu through layers of security checks and entered the laboratory, the researchers in white lab coats who were walking around various areas of the laboratory greeted Mr. Lin one after another. At the same time, they looked at the young man following behind him, secretly curious about who this young man was.

Some people who have some connections have naturally guessed Xia Yu's identity a long time ago. Recently, many people have heard that Lin Lao's most beloved second daughter brought Lin Lao's little grandson to the imperial capital. It is said that she wanted the little grandson to participate in the training camp in the Dragon Secret Realm.

King Long Tianwang personally made an exception and added a place for the training class, which made many people unhappy.

"Mr. Lin, Xia Yu, Director Lin asked me to pick you up."

Director Lin is naturally Xia Yu's uncle Lin Xueyun, the current director of the laboratory. Originally, Lin Xueyun said he would come to pick them up in person, but he had an emergency and couldn't come, so he specially called his assistant to pick up Lin and Xia Yu.

"Our laboratory is very large and divided into many areas. We have Pokémon of all attributes, and according to different environments, we divide them into mountains, lakes, deserts, plains and other terrains. We raise Pokémon of all kinds, such as the Sakura Pokémon from Sakura Country, the Flare Ace from Europe and America, and even the extremely rare Tan-sama. These are all the life's work of Mr. Lin."

The assistant introduced Xia Yu as they walked, acting as a tour guide. Hearing about his own laboratory, Mr. Lin was very proud. He had devoted all his efforts to this laboratory. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was his child: "It's all the past. Young people should still look to the future."

Old Lin took Xia Yu to the main laboratory door and said to Xia Yu, "This is the main laboratory. Your grandpa used to do experiments here. He would stay here every two or three days to do experiments instead of going home. And there would be explosions every two or three days. Because of this, many of my students secretly bought insurance for themselves. I heard them complain to me later that the first thing they did when they received their salary was to use half of it to pay for the insurance premium for that month."

Recalling the past, a smile appeared on Mr. Lin’s old face. Although this laboratory has been renovated countless times, it carries his lifelong memories.

"boom."

At this moment, a violent explosion was heard in the laboratory. Although the sound was loud, it did not cause any harm to the three people outside the laboratory.

After countless reconstructions, the laboratory's safety factor has reached an extremely high level.

"Dr. Xueyun is researching a new topic on Z-pure crystal." The assistant standing next to Elder Lin and Xia Yu explained to them with a smile, then after double verification by palm print and pupil, he led the two into the laboratory.

As soon as he entered the door, Xia Yu saw a middle-aged man in his fifties, who looked 80% similar to his mother. This man was his uncle Lin Xueyun, whom Xia Yu had met once or twice during the Chinese New Year.

Xia Yu knew one of the other two people. She was the beautiful teacher of the training class, Long Yanning. Standing next to her was her ace Pokémon, Scaled Armored Dragon. At this time, Long Yanning was obviously in a bad mood and had a sad face. The other one was a tall, middle-aged handsome man in his fifties, with slightly gray temples, but an upright posture and a strong body. He looked a bit like Long Yanning.

"Long Tianwang. Yan Ning, are you here?" Elder Lin greeted the two with a smile, and then introduced the identity of the middle-aged man to Xia Yu: "You must know Yan Ning, so I don't need to introduce you. This is Yan Ning's father, Long Fan, the king of dragons in North China, and you can enter the training class thanks to Uncle Long."

"Thank you, Uncle Long."

"Mr. Lin." Long Yanning and Long Fan greeted Mr. Lin at the same time: "It's all trivial matters. It's my honor to help Mr. Lin."

"Dad, you're here?" Lin Xueyun was fat and had a big belly. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and looked worried. It was obvious that the experiment was not going well, but when he saw Elder Lin and Xia Yu coming in, he still forced a smile: "Long time no see, Xia Yu."

"Uncle."

"You can't rush an experiment." The experienced Mr. Lin saw the disappointment on Lin Xueyun's face at a glance. It was obvious that the experiment had failed again. "Is it that Z-pure crystal again?"

"Yeah." Long Yanning nodded. The Long family had two purest crystals. One was a dragon-type purest crystal in his father's hand, and the other was the purest crystal in her hand.

This Z-pure crystal was found by Long Fan in the territory of the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon tribe. Because one person can only use one Z-move, he gave this Z-pure crystal to his daughter Long Yanning. However, Long Yanning could not activate this Z-pure crystal no matter what, even though she had let Xiao Lin (Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon) try various moves of various attributes, but it still didn't work.

Long Yan Ning was quite frustrated about this.

Xia Yu's uncle Lin Xueyun was also very frustrated. This was the second Z-pure crystal they had encountered that had no effect. Judging from the appearance, these two Z-pure crystals did not belong to any of the eighteen properties, but the instruments could detect the huge energy in these Z-pure crystals, which made them quite distressed.

Xia Yu took a look at this Z-pure crystal, and the system immediately gave a prompt.

[Staff-Tailed Scaled Dragon Z]: After carrying the Staff-Tailed Scaled Dragon, the exclusive move Scale Noise can be transformed into a special Z-move: Fiery Soul Dance Sonic Boom.

[Fiery Soul Dance Sonic Boom]: It is extremely powerful and will definitely hit. After using it, all your abilities will be increased by one level (attack, defense, special defense, special attack, speed). (Requires a powerful Z bracelet)

…………

Xia Yu saw the problem at a glance. First of all, this Z-pure crystal was different from ordinary Z-pure crystals. It was a rarer and exclusive Z-pure crystal.

Just like this Z-Crystal of Ankylosaurus, it will have no effect on any Pokémon except Ankylosaurus, and the Z-Bracelet must be upgraded to a Powerful Z-Bracelet, and Ankylosaurus must also use the skill Scale Noise.

All three conditions are indispensable.

Long Yan Ning has not yet activated this Z-pure crystal because she lacks the important condition of a Z-powerful bracelet.

In the game and animation, Ash's Z-Band was directly upgraded to a Z-PowerBand by the four guardians of Alola. From this, we can infer that the key to upgrading the Z-Band to a Z-PowerBand is energy.

What should I do?

Xia Yu was thoughtful. Since the Z bracelet had already been developed in this world, it was only a matter of time before a powerful Z bracelet would be developed. He could fully utilize his prophecy to seize the initiative, thereby gaining enough benefits for himself and establishing the Lin family's position in Pokémon research and academia, killing two birds with one stone.
