The Genius Scientist Who Crosses Over Twice

"What on earth is that guy here for?" 

Staring blankly at the window where Umbreon had just left, Will couldn't shake off the confusion lingering in his mind.

If it were me... could I win?

No! 

I can win!

I'm Will, a genius after all!

Back in my hometown, even the adults couldn't defeat me.

"Not so sure, kiddo." 

Chuck, who could read Will's thoughts, teased him, "If that new Eevee has an owner and they team up, you won't stand a chance."

"What a joke! I've never lost since I started my adventures!" 

Fuming, Will shouted as he stormed out of the Cianwood Gym.

"By the way, that Eevee's battle style is unique. I wonder what its trainer is like. If he participates in this year's Indigo Conference and encounters Will, it would be interesting." 

Tap, tap—

Debris fell onto Chuck's head.

He looked up to see the hole where Umbreon had just blasted out.

"Uh... guess I should apply to the League for repair funds." 

...

Meanwhile, outside, Victor smoothly reunites with Giovanni and starts the Black Friday shopping spree with him.

In the end, he had bought so many things that he couldn't carry them all home and had to arrange for delivery.

"I bought everything I could find. The rest will depend on you, Uncle Giovanni." 

Victor glanced at his shopping list.

Iodine, test tubes, beakers, microscopes...

These basic medical supplies can generally be found in professional stores.

But specialized equipment is another story; it's mostly controlled by the Joy family.

Constant temperature incubators, medical centrifuges, clinical analysis machines, and so on...

Buying those not only requires professional certificates.

Approval from the Joy family is also necessary.

Victor cannot afford to waste time on this.

He can only rely on Giovanni's connections now.

Giovanni took a look at the list and saw some items he didn't even know the use for, feeling increasingly perplexed by this kid.

"Ha, the price of these items, along with that house, already exceeds the value of a Dratini." 

Giovanni jested.

He had initially thought of using a Dratini to ask a favor from Victor.

Seeing he didn't want it, Giovanni thought he could save some money.

After all, Team Rocket, though somewhat notorious in Johto, isn't a heavyweight that could shake the entire region.

Otherwise, his son wouldn't have mysteriously disappeared.

The results, however, proved otherwise.

The things Victor wanted together already exceeded the value of a Dratini.

"Spending less on a Dratini? Come on, it's just a Dratini. You'll receive far more rewards in return down the line." 

Victor suggested that Giovanni should broaden his horizons. "Ha, sounds like you don't think much of Dratini. But you should know, it's the Pokémon of countless trainers' dreams." 

Giovanni raised an eyebrow.

"That's not the case, but its situation is a bit awkward." 

Victor's statement left Giovanni slightly puzzled.

What does he mean by that?

Emmm... mainly because in this era, concepts like Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, and Dynamax haven't been researched yet.

In the eyes of Victor, who is a traveler from another world, Dragonite, as a pseudo-legendary Pokémon from the first generation, indeed had a hard time.

No Mega form, no exclusive Z-Move, no Dynamax... none of those.

Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp… any of these popular pseudo-legendaries received some sort of buff.

Even Goodra has an ancient form.

And Dratini is just lamentably left with nothing.

Compared to Charizard, which gets teased as the "real father," Dragonite is like the daughter raised by a stepmother.

"Though I don't know what you're trying to express, just make sure the new Elite Four from the Indigo League doesn't hear this." 

Giovanni joked.

He was referring to the newly promoted Dragon Elite who dominated last year's competition to become the new member of the Indigo League.

Even though Giovanni hasn't officially met him yet.

But he had heard how obsessed that Elite was with Dragon-type Pokémon.

It's said that in his team, two of the six Pokémon are Dragonair and Dragonite.

Giovanni was stunned for a while when he first heard of this.

Is team composition really that way?

"The Flying Elite, huh? Ha-ha, got it." 

Victor also wore a smile that said, "I don't want to laugh, but I can't help it."

Basic information is easily accessed over the internet nowadays.

Currently, the champion of the Indigo League is still Kikuko.

But it won't be long before he is replaced by Lance.

...

"I've already had someone look for those things you need, but it will take about a week for them to arrive." 

As they approached the seaside cottage, Giovanni put down his phone.

"No problem, these will be enough for me to research for a while." 

Victor replied and then shouted at the delivery company staff, "The office desk goes here, and the experimental setup goes by the window, thank you for your hard work..."

The staff nodded and commanded their Machoke to start delivering.

Victor suddenly remembered playing the game "Emerald" in his past life when the protagonist's house was moved by a Machoke, right?

Or no, that was Vigoroth?

Can't quite recall.

Victor glanced at the name on the delivery truck—Machoke Moving Company.

Hmm, looks like Pokémon have completely integrated into people's lives in this world.

"Mr. Giovanni, here's the housing contract. If you're sure it's okay, you can sign here." 

At this moment, another group arrived.

At the forefront was a middle-aged man in a tailored suit, similar in age to Giovanni.

However, compared to Giovanni's sturdy build, the man was taller and leaner, with gray hair, exuding a charming gentleman aura.

Victor took notice of the nameplate on the man's tailored suit—

[President·Nashizuki]

"Long time no see, President Nashizuki." 

Giovanni greeted the man with a handshake, accepting the contract.

"The homeowner can be this kid, right?" 

Giovanni pointed his thumb at Victor.

"In the case of a minor... normally, according to League law, it's not allowed, but if it's Mr. Giovanni's request, I can make a small exception." 

The man named Nashizuki smiled, his gaze also filled with curiosity, "I just don't know who this little master is..." 

"Uh, he is..." 

Recalling this, Giovanni hesitated.

Damn it, he forgot to think of a reason.

"Full of aspirations for half a lifetime, only regretting not meeting a master; if the public does not abandon me..." 

"Uh... that, this kid is my nephew." 

Giovanni casually made up an excuse.

He couldn't shake the feeling that if Victor were to finish that sentence, he would be in big trouble.
