Chapter 659 Dodo's Identity

...

"Mr. Sakuragi."

Seeing the caller ID on the phone, Natsu's scalp went numb.

Looks like he forgot something?

He touch the answer button.

"Mr. Sakuragi."

"Natsu, I tried my best to stop you, but last time you said it so fast." Sakuragi's slightly tired voice came from the phone.

He said, of course, the paper on Milotic evolution.

Before leaving for Hearthome City, Natsu promises to publish it as soon as possible.

But he also didn't expect to spend so long in Rayquaza's space.

After he came back, he was too busy with many things, and he didn't think about this problem.

"cough cough, I understand, due to some delays, I promise to finish this paper today." Natsu said a little regretfully.

Sakuragi always helped him stop many things from the Alliance.

It was easy to talk to other people, but to Sakuragi, Natsu was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

After a moment of silence, Sakuragi spoke again and said solemnly:

"Natsu, are you really not ready to announce your identity? I know you are a Gym Leader now, and you are also more than a Trainer, you also have an innate talent for research."

Natsu knew that Sakuragi was doing it for his own good.

He also considered this.

Originally, he had wanted to prepare to hide it as long as possible, but after the last time Hoshino sent someone to intercept him, Natsu had made certain preparations.

Slowly exhale.

The decision has been made in my heart.

"I'm ready to announce."

It's better to take the initiative to come down than to wait for others to announce it.

A short silence.

"Are you sure?" Sakuragi's voice on the phone was loud, and he could hear his excitement.

"en."

"When?" Sakuragi asked.

"Eh, I haven't thought about this. Is it okay to change my nickname on the forum to my own name?"

"How does it work!?"

But Sakuragi firmly rejected Natsu's choice.

Sakuragi continued: "I called you today, on the one hand, to help the above speed up the paper, and on the other hand to tell you about something."

"What? "

"My ceremony was moved up, it's three days from now."

Hearing this, Natsu frowned.

"Moved up? Why?"

"Yes, because there happened to be an academic event, and many big players in the Pokemon research community were coming, so the above was discussed with me. It's ahead of schedule." Sakuragi explained.

The "Devon Little Cup" was too popular, but Sakuragi's ceremony was ahead of schedule.

Doesn't that mean.

"Does Kikuya know about it?"

"Because it was a temporary progress, Kikuya just found out about it, and it is estimated that she will come to you later. "

Natsu pursed his lips.

"Sorry, Mr. Sakuragi, because of my business."

"Don't be so polite, Kikuya told me that she also learned a lot from you and gained a lot of experience, you can definitely help me look after the Laboratory in the future.

Although I don't have time to go back and arrange the layout of the Laboratory for me, but since it was proposed by the Alliance before, they are responsible for this time, don't worry about the layout of the place."

"That's good," Natsu relaxed a little.

"When the time comes there are so many people, you can announce it then and there." Sakuragi suggested.

"That's not good, after all, this is your title ceremony, Mr. Sakuragi."

"Natsu." Sakuragi suddenly called his name, interrupting him. .

"en?" Natsu was shocked.

"Even though we are both ages apart, I always think of you as a friend, is that okay?"

"Neither teachers nor friends." Natsu said his own views on Sakuragi.

For him, Sakuragi could truly be considered a teacher and a friend.

Give him help and support without asking for anything in return.

Natsu admires the spirit of contributing purely to Pokémon research.

"Yes, both teacher and friend, good words, and you also inspired me a lot in research." Sakuragi said with a smile.

Although Sakuragi didn't really want to admit it, he also had to agree that "fame" was a thing. There really is help to do research.

At least, if you are famous, you can get more support and material support from the Alliance.

Sakuragi opens the way for Natsu!

In this world, how many people can treat you unconditionally?

To do this, nothing more than parents, teachers and close friends.

Natsu fell silent.

Sakuragi's words made him unable to refuse.

After thinking for a moment, Natsu said again: "Mr. Sakuragi, I have another very bold topic. I wonder if you would be interested?

"Bold topic?" Sakuragi laughed and continued.

"Then I'm definitely interested. But I'm afraid I don't have time to participate, and I have piled up a lot of projects here because of the topic of 'intimacy' before. But I want you to take this topic to the end."

He says.

That's half true half false.

It's true that many topics have piled up.

But not participating was actually to prevent herself from stealing Natsu's limelight again.

When the previous "Intimacy" paper was published.

There were some envious people who said sour words like 'Dodo' is just taking advantage of Mr. Sakuragi.

Natsu usually didn't notice this.

But Sakuragi has someone reporting the situation to him every day, and he also insists on taking time every day to look at other people's research results on the Internet, so he still sees it more or less.

In his opinion.

If there is no "intimacy" topic proposed by Natsu, and the use of "Return" as a lever to raise the entire experimental content.

He feared these important results would not be published for years.

He didn't know how long Eevee's evolution would take to be known.

And he?

Just doing something that an ordinary researcher can do.

Test some results and calculate some data.

This can be done by any researcher.

He was the one who got Natsu's light, but Natsu was the one who ended up being seen as ugly.

Even though Natsu didn't care, it made him uncomfortable, even a little guilty.

Natsu didn't hear the true meaning of Sakuragi's words, only said: "I believe you won't refuse after knowing it."

"Really? Hehe—— Then I'm looking forward to it."

After some chatting, the two ended the call.

Natsu operates the computer.

Published a paper on Milotic.

This paper primarily involves the evolution of Feebas' use of the "Prisma Scale" Item.

And there is no mention of evolving in a way that increases "beauty" without using this Item.

This is the act of wool picking to the extreme.

Topic.

Peel twice.

There was no one there either.

As soon as the paper was published, its popularity immediately soared.

Because Natsu's paper this time not only contains theoretical knowledge, but also a lot of measured data, pictures and even videos of the entire process of Feebas' evolution into Milotic.

It completely confirmed previous speculations, and slapped down a lot of people who made sour comments.

Natsu also got a lot of attention again.

Its popularity skyrocketed.

Moreover.

Who wouldn't want to own Milotic, known as "the most beautiful Pokémon"?

And the people who notice it are no longer just those who like Eevee or pay attention to Eevee.

Someone with a heart suddenly found it.

"Mr. 'Dodo' has never published papers that cannot be verified so far, and has never used them to attract people's attention!"

"Truly!"

Conducting research, proposing topics and directions, requires bold assumptions and guesses.

Some can be proven.

But most of them cannot be verified.

Therefore, topics attracting people's attention were brought up, and the number of people absorbing attention to the heat was countless.

But Natsu has never published a "fake" paper so far.

Even the previous papers on Eevee's four evolutionary Characteristic Traits, moves, and training conditions have been confirmed one after another.

So many people consciously add a word when they call "Dodo", and it becomes "True Dodo".

Natsu didn't care anymore after the paper was published.

For him, the bottom line was how much he could get from the Alliance before the paper was published.

Even if the subject is closed after publication, there will be no significant benefit.

He was now staring at two folders on his computer, lost in thought.

One is "Beauty" and the other is "Fairy Type"!

And what Natsu didn't know was...

After closing the forum, Sakuragi commented and announced something at the bottom of his paper.

"'Dodo' will announce its identity in three days."

It was always easiest to touch people's hearts when revealing mysterious mysteries.

Sakuragi's comment exploded in an instant.

Many people guessed below what the "Dodo" looked like.

Gray haired old man? Fat middle-aged people? Or a fat woman?

Myriad has everything.

This time, even if Natsu doesn't want to take off his vest, I'm afraid he will have to.

Sakuragi's move is called "drawing from the bottom of the pot" to prevent Natsu from regretting it.

Natsu didn't regret it.

After all, with his current strength, identity, and abilities, he could be considered capable of bearing the influence of that identity.

He suddenly thought of something.

Identify the "Dodo" researchers.

The focus is still on this nickname.

He didn't know what kind of attitude he would use to treat himself?

emmmm... looks like he has to make a "free war card" first.
