20 CHAPTER 19: PREPARATION OF THE INCUBATION FLUID

As soon as he reached the living room of the apartment, Alec began to have a headache, with everything that had happened in these 2 days, he had completely forgotten about the "survival" of Professor Aurea, and although he had only been out for 2 days, the place was a mess.

"*sigh* Aurea neesan, was it only 2 days for you to leave the place like this?"

Food packaging on one side, beer cans on the other, pages of reports lying everywhere, even Alec would swear he thought he saw some clothes in that mess.

"If the living room is already like this, I don't want to think about how his room will be."

Thinking this far, Alec could only lament Professor Aurea's "talent" for messing things up.

"Forget it, before I clean up this mess, I have to prepare the hatching liquid for the alolan vulpix."

Because Alec had already thought about what pokemon he wanted to have in his team and get in Alola, Alec during his week before the trip had "bought" some materials and resources from Professor Aurea's laboratory inventory, but he did not prepare them in liquids. incubation, one because he didn't know if he would get a certain pokemon egg, and the other was that he could return the materials if they weren't useful in the end (advantages of being the pokemon professor's assistant).

Professor Kukui was quite considerate in that each apartment where the different scientists from the different regions stayed had a mini lab, and although it was obviously not at the level Alec was used to, with his experience and the help of the rotomdex, I didn't think I would have a problem preparing it.

So, without knowing if the professor was awake or not, Alec went to the mini lab, where he gave the rotomdex some of the data on the preparation of the incubation liquid so that it can help him in the process.

It should be noted that the elaboration process was quite similar to the laboratory experiments that he had done in his previous life at the university, in addition to the fact that several of the studies that Professor Aurea carried out were also in the laboratory, so Alec learned quite quickly, all in order to be able to prepare any incubation or classification liquid for the moment of evolution at any time.

Soon, Alec placed all the materials on the table, because some of them were quite rare, it could be said that Alec only had one chance, so he adjusted his mental state and concentrated on performing the process correctly.

"For the alolan vulpix incubation liquid, I would ideally use both ice and fairy power material, but since the latter hasn't been discovered yet, I'll have to use only ice type."

Given this, Alec couldn't do much, although there might be materials with fairy-type power, Alec wouldn't know, since its power hadn't manifested itself in the world yet.

"This will make my alolan vulpix stand out with great power with ice, which won't hurt it at the moment, but if I want it to evolve to ninetales, I'll have to brew a rating increase potion with high concentration of the fairy power, to make up for the loss this time."

Making a future plan in his mind, Alec took the different natural materials such as a 1000 year old rock found in a totally cold environment, the dew from an ice flower that only grows in frigid places, etc, but there was one material in particular. that Alec had found and although it cost him some money, it was not as expensive as the other materials.

In his hands, he played with a not very large piece of light blue ice, but he handled it with special gloves, due to how cold it was to the touch, it was also quite special, because it was proven that only a very high temperature could melt it, but in addition to this, this piece of ice had nothing abnormal about it anymore.

But Alec found something quite interesting, when he looked at the material, he noticed that it had a color, as if it were a pokemon, which left him quite dumbfounded at the time.

After thinking about this, he came to a conclusion, and that was that this piece of ice was a part of some pokemon, and that, if he found it, most likely he could put it back into his body.

"The only pokemon that comes to mind that could do that is Regice."

Although Alec was not 100% sure of this, the deep indigo, almost violet color that this piece of ice had made Alec quite sure of his guess, and this is why he decided to use this material as part of the cooling liquid. incubation.

Thus, Alec put on protective glasses and began to distill and mix the different materials and reagents, devoting all his concentration to what he was doing, with the rotomdex indicating if there was any minor error in the process, quickly correcting it.

It was because of this that Alec did not realize that Professor Aurea was watching the whole scene carefully.

"It seems that these two days have been very fruitful for him... forget it, as long as he cleans up the place, I won't blame him for not coming back to the apartment yesterday."

The professor didn't leave immediately, but instead concentrated on observing Alec's process of creating the incubation fluid, an area in which she obviously had expertise.

"*sigh*, Alec really has a talent for research, not only his ideas are novel, but he even has the mindset to stay in the lab and stay focused with his young age, there are even times when I feel like I don't speak with a child, but with a colleague my age."

While Professor Aurea was lost in her thoughts, Alec had entered the most critical part of the preparation of the liquid, by then, he had already added some of the ice from the Regice into the mixture.

"Last step, I must stabilize the mixture before the liquid cools down, otherwise all my efforts will be wasted."

Thus, taking her concentration to the limit, she carefully watched for any adverse reaction in the mixture, since any slight change or response could be the warning before all else fails.

Fortunately for Alec, although there were occasional shocks, it did not go too far, culminating successfully in the incubation liquid, which was blue like the sky.

After making sure there was no mistake, Alec breathed a sigh of relief, and that was when a weariness hit him suddenly, almost falling on the precious liquid he had just created.

Luckily for him, Professor Aurea was already expecting this, so she caught him before all his efforts were wasted.

Thus, although quite exhausted, Alec managed to recover some clarity when he noticed that Professor Aurea was already placing the liquid in the incubator with the snow-white egg inside.

Seeing this, Alec breathed a sigh of relief, before telling Professor Aurea:

"Aurea neesan, although I don't know when you arrived, thank you for the final help, otherwise all my effort would be wasted."

Hearing this, Professor Aurea just smiled gently and replied:

"Don't worry about it, for now, go and rest."

Alec didn't refuse at this and went along with the rotomdex to his room, also, unlike before, he now had 2 pokemon eggs in his hands.

Once there, Alec carefully placed both incubators on a table in front of his bed, before going to sleep exhausted.

A couple of hours later, with the sun entering its last hours of the day, Alec woke up, stretched a bit and asked the rotomdex to take care of both eggs, although he did more of this for the dragon egg, since I didn't know when it would open.

After this, he washed his face and then proceeded to tidy up and clean the entire apartment, which he only finished when it was already dark.

Not long after, Professor Aurea from the conference arrived, but before Alec could say anything, she led him into the living room and asked him to tell her what had happened during these 2 days.

So, with a helpless smile on her face, she told him about how she got lost on the beach, she found Professor Kukui and helped him in the creation of the rotomdex.

So far, the professor gave Alec a thumbs up, before saying:

"Professor Kukui spoke about this topic in today's conference, and the truth is that all the researchers present were interested in the idea, although the professor did not give many details, what you called rotomdex must be that strange pokemon that was next to you side in the morning right?"

Alec nodded when he heard this, and told him how it could not only be helpful for the trainers, but also when doing laboratory experiments like the one he did today.

At this, the professor nodded, but then a serious look appeared on her face before asking Alec how she got the pokemon egg she brought home.

Hearing this, Alec lowered her head for a moment, then raised her head to stare off into space as she recounted her experience with the wounded ninetales.

Because of this, Alec didn't notice the professor's frown deepening, deep in thought of her.

"It is not normal for Alec to have been able to feel the emotions of the ninetales at such a distant distance, besides those images he saw, he would understand if it were some psychic pokemon, but Alola ninetales is not this case..., *sigh*, Professor Nirio, what is what you did with Alec?"

Thinking of this, the professor just hugged Alec for a moment, which Alec didn't object to thinking it was her way of comforting him for what he had experienced.

After a while, Professor Aurea seemed to remember something about her, so she told Alec:

"Oh right, now that I remember, do you remember Professor Oak's cousin? It seems he founded a pokemon school recently, and since I mentioned you today at the meeting as my great assistant, he is very interested in meeting you."

Professor Aurea's words caught Alec off guard, and he almost fell off the couch because of it.
