Chapter 11: Encounter

---

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Just as Gary Oak arrived at the door of Professor Rowan's research institute and was about to knock, a strange voice came from behind him, interrupting his action.

After hearing the question, Gary immediately put down his right hand, turned around, and looked behind him to see who it was.

Gary turned around and saw a tall middle-aged man wearing a blue shirt and a white lab coat, typical of research institutes.

Although there was some stubble on his chin, it only added to his rugged handsomeness.

Upon seeing the man in front of him, Gary recognized his identity immediately.

"You are Professor Sycamore from the Kalos region."

Professor Sycamore was slightly surprised to see that someone in the Sinnoh region knew him, and then asked in a slightly surprised tone, "Young man, do you know me?"

After hearing Professor Sycamore's words, Gary smiled softly. "I think, with Professor Sycamore's reputation in Pokémon research, few people wouldn't know you."

After hearing what Gary said, Professor Sycamore smiled and modestly replied, "You are too kind."

Although Gary's words were very flattering, who doesn't like to hear others praise them?

"No, Professor Sycamore's research results on Mega Evolution are praised even by my grandfather."

After hearing Professor Sycamore's modest words, Gary shook his head and mentioned his grandfather.

"Your grandfather?" Professor Sycamore, being a Pokémon professor, quickly caught the reference in Gary's words. "Excuse me, who is your grandfather?"

After hearing Professor Sycamore ask about his grandfather, Gary's mouth corners slightly raised, achieving his main purpose.

"My grandfather is Professor Oak."

"Your grandfather is Professor Oak!" After hearing what Gary said, Professor Sycamore instantly recognized the name and a figure quickly appeared in his mind, so he looked at Gary in surprise.

"That's right. My name is Gary, and Professor Oak is my grandfather," Gary smiled and nodded.

Sometimes, Gary had to admit that Professor Oak's name was really a panacea. No matter where he went, he could use his grandfather's reputation to bring people closer. It was truly a good idea!

Thinking of this, Gary also had to sigh that his grandfather was really world-famous!

If Professor Oak knew that Gary was now using his name to "swindle" outside like this, would he give him a good beating? It's hard to say.

"Grandpa once said that the Pokémon Mega Evolution you studied is a major discovery."

Then Gary used the name of Professor Oak to praise Professor Sycamore in front of him.

"Gary, do you know about Pokémon Mega Evolution?" After hearing Gary mention the Mega Evolution he studied, Professor Sycamore was a little surprised.

"Yes, I have some superficial understanding of Mega Evolution."

Then Gary told Professor Sycamore some of the things he knew about Pokémon Mega Evolution.

"I didn't expect that Gary, you actually know so much about Mega Evolution."

After listening to Gary's explanation, even Professor Sycamore was a little surprised.

"After accidentally getting a Blastoise Mega Stone, I went to learn some things about Mega Evolution."

Although Gary's Mega Stone was given by the system and the knowledge was learned from the anime in his previous life, these still belonged to Gary, so he didn't lie.

"Gary, you actually have a Mega Stone for Blastoise!"

After hearing this, Professor Sycamore's tone suddenly became louder.

Then he said to Gary anxiously, "Then can you let me see the Mega Evolution of Blastoise?"

When it comes to Mega Evolution, Professor Sycamore changed his previous cool look and turned into the fanatical mode that all Pokémon professors have now.

"Although I really want to help you, Professor Sycamore, I only have a Mega Stone for Blastoise. I don't have a Key Stone, so I can't help you."

After saying that, Gary also began to think that it seems he really needs to ask his grandfather to find the trace of the Key Stone. After all, with Mega Evolution in his hands, how could Gary not want to try it?

After listening to Gary's words, Professor Sycamore did not give up. Instead, he continued to ask Gary, "It doesn't matter if you don't have the Key Stone, I have it!"

"It just so happens that I have the Key Stone in my hand. Let's hurry up and experiment with Mega Evolution!"

Professor Sycamore was now crazy about the research on Pokémon Mega Evolution.

"This..."

However, just when Gary was about to agree and say it, a cough interrupted the conversation between Gary and Professor Sycamore.

In front of them, the door of the institute, which was originally closed, had opened at some point, and an old man with a serious face appeared in front of Gary and the others.

"Professor Rowan!"

"Teacher!"

That's right, the one who appeared at the door of Professor Rowan's institute was, of course, Professor Rowan himself.

Seeing Professor Rowan suddenly appear, Gary and Professor Sycamore also shouted in surprise.

"Can't it be me?" Professor Rowan said with a serious face. "I heard you talking inside the research institute. If I don't open the door, you won't come in?"

"No way, teacher."

Facing his teacher, Professor Sycamore's momentum suddenly weakened a bit.

"I'm not interested in the topic of Pokémon Mega Evolution."

"If you want to study, it's not a problem. You have to come into the research institute first."

Professor Rowan still had that serious expression. "Standing outside and talking all the time, what's this like!"

If Gary didn't know that Professor Rowan was an old man with a stern face but a kind heart, he might have been scared by Professor Rowan's serious face and dared not speak.

"I know, I'll come in now."

Professor Sycamore, who was originally quite enthusiastic, suddenly became quiet due to the pressure from his teacher.

"By the way, you are Gary, the grandson of Oak. Your grandfather has told me about you a long time ago."

After subduing Professor Sycamore, Professor Rowan looked at Gary who was standing aside.

"Yes, Professor Rowan, I came here to get the information at the order of my grandfather."

Although Professor Rowan's serious expression was a little scary, Gary still answered calmly.

"I know," Professor Rowan nodded, and then continued, "You come in too!"

After that, Professor Rowan turned around and walked into the research institute.

Gary and Professor Sycamore looked at each other quietly, and then followed together.
