Lumiose City, Professor Sycamore's Lab.
Looking at the data he had spent the entire morning compiling, Dr. Platanus was astonished.
If Lucario's physical attack boost was slightly above average, then his special attack boost was terrifying!
"Flash Cannon and Aura Sphere's boosts after Mega Evolution are 111.3% and 111.6% respectively!"
Chloe's voice was filled with surprise, "They both exceeded the quantified expectation by 11%!"
Dr. Platanus looked at Li Wei with a serious expression, "If the data is correct, then Lucario's boost after Mega Evolution is the highest I have ever seen among Pokemon."
"To make the experimental data more accurate, we may need to conduct at least two more data tests."
"If possible, I hope to test five times, which will further reduce errors."
Li Wei nodded, "I have no problem with that."
Li Wei guessed that this might be due to the special bonus dishes Lucario had eaten.
These dishes already provided a bonus to Lucario, making his base stats higher than other Lucario, and when he Mega Evolved, there would be another increase, and the Overlay of these might have led to this situation.
Just then, Steven, who was standing nearby, suddenly said, "Dr. Platanus, I have a suggestion."
Dr. Platanus nodded, "Go ahead."
Steven suggested, "Let's conduct detailed tests on my Metagross and Li Wei's Metagross as well."
Dr. Platanus asked in confusion, "May I ask why?"
Steven mused, "I think I can only tell you the answer after the tests; perhaps you will know during the tests themselves."
This was Steven's guess.
Because he vaguely felt that Metagross had improved after attending the Breeding Center's Summer Camp.
But Steven had not conducted any precise tests.
This test, for Steven, was also to verify his own idea.
However, according to Steven's suggestion, they might need to work day and night, thoroughly testing for three to five days.
Li Wei leaned on his knees and looked at Diancie, "We might have to stay here for a few days, is that okay?"
(I'm fine, it's very beautiful here!)
Professor Sycamore's Lab is located in the city center; although its area is not as large as Professor Oak's backyard, it has all the necessary ecological features.
Li Wei raised a question, "There's also another issue, what about the Miare Gym?"
Dr. Platanus looked at Li Wei curiously, wondering what this had to do with the Miare Gym.
After Li Wei explained that he had promised Eureka, Dr. Platanus smiled, "Simple, I will invite Citron and Eureka. Limoné and I are friends after all."
"Anyway, Eureka just wants to see you and be with Pokemon, so it's the same no matter where she is."
"Then I'll trouble you, Doctor."
"It's nothing, I should be the one troubling you."
...
Dr. Platanus invited them at noon, and Limoné brought Eureka in the afternoon.
"Citron still has to serve as the Gym Leader, so I brought Eureka. I'll entrust Eureka to you all."
Limoné had to look after the electronics store and also impersonate Blaziken Mask, so he wouldn't stay here all the time.
"Eureka, be obedient while you're here, don't break any instruments."
"Got it!"
Dr. Platanus smiled, "Don't worry, it's very safe in the lab. I'll have Garchomp safely take Eureka home tonight."
"That's too much trouble for you, I'll pick her up myself."
Anyway, their home wasn't far from Professor Sycamore's Lab, and Limoné had that much time.
Limoné then looked at Li Wei, "Li Wei, thank you so much. You didn't forget your promise to Eureka even at a time like this."
Li Wei shook his head, "Since I promised, I have to fulfill it. That's the most basic thing."
Although Li Wei invited Eureka, he really didn't have much time to play with her.
When collecting data, he had to be on the side performing Mega Evolution, so he couldn't get away.
Fortunately, Eureka was also very interested in Pokemon.
So, Li Wei looked at Arcanine, Shaymin, Diancie, Farfetch'd, and other Pokemon that didn't require research.
"The task of playing with Eureka is entrusted to you all."
"Shaymin!" ❛ ‿ ˂ ̵ ✧ (Let's play hide-and-seek!)
"Quack!" | • ' - ' • ) و ✧ (Leave it to me!)
Accompanying children and making them happy is also a knight's virtue!
"Grumble ~" (Leave it to me with peace of mind.)
Li Wei raised an eyebrow, "You want to help too? That's really great."
Dragapult's mother was very good at taking care of children.
Excluding the Dragon Darts shooting Dreepy...
Diancie watched this scene and showed a heartfelt smile; she loved sparkling things the most.
...
Hearing Shaymin's suggestion, Eureka blinked, "Hide-and-seek? Okay! Eureka likes hide-and-seek!"
Professor Sycamore's Lab was completely enclosed, and the backyard wasn't big, so it was indeed very suitable for playing hide-and-seek.
Eureka leaned against the wall, covering her eyes with the back of her hand, "1, 2, 3..."
(You have to shout louder!)
Shaymin was very strict about hide-and-seek.
"Okay! 4, 5, 6..."
Li Wei, Steven, and Dr. Platanus watched for a while, then went back to continue researching Lucario and their data.
Evening, Professor Sycamore's Lab.
Cynthia: [Did you leave Lumiose City?]
Cynthia had found a housekeeping company and sent an aunt to clean the villa.
But she found that Li Wei was not there, and neither was his luggage.
Li Wei had always informed her before leaving.
[I haven't left Lumiose City yet, I'm helping Dr. Platanus collect data, it might take four or five days.]
Cynthia: [So that's it. If it's just Lucario, how would it take four or five days?]
Cynthia was aware that Li Wei was going to help Dr. Platanus collect Lucario's data.
Li Wei: [Dr. Platanus said Lucario's data was higher than the quantified expectation, so they need to do it a few more times to avoid errors, and then Steven...]
In the afternoon, they simultaneously conducted research on Mega Metagross, and Li Wei also learned the weight of Mega Metagross.
It was measured using a weighbridge.
Li Wei could only say that Heavy Slam was invincible.
Because after Mega Evolution, Li Wei's Mega Metagross weighed over 1.5 tons, while the Pokedex stated 942.9 kg.
In addition, as Steven expected, Steven's Mega Metagross also showed a greater increase, changing from 5.4% to 8.9% compared to before.
This also proved that Steven's guess was correct.
To verify that the testing machine was accurate, Dr. Platanus also conducted a Blastoise Mega test in the evening.
There was definitely no problem with the machine.
Cynthia: [Actually, I also had that feeling, but I didn't go to specially test it.]
Garchomp and Metagross had both eaten Li Wei's special dishes; they had eaten everything Li Wei knew how to make.
The testing time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day.
