Regarding the Evolution Stone issue, Madame Boss also stated, "Mt. Moon and Evolution Stone. Matt previously told me you had the identity of a Researcher, and I still didn't quite believe it. Now it seems I truly misjudged."
She seemed to have thought of something, and her silver bell-like laughter came from the other side.
"The League has a Champion also known for his prodigious talents in the field of science. I didn't expect that someone like you also has such talents. It's quite interesting to think about."
Giovanni shook his head helplessly, but with all the future research he had in mind, it was only a matter of time before his name stood shoulder to shoulder with Professor Oak.
Being happy was fine, but Madame Boss would not casually let Team Rocket do things with uncertain returns.
So she said to Giovanni:
"However, since it will consume a considerable amount of energy and pokemon dollars, I need to see your results first before I issue the order. Is that alright?"
Giovanni understood this point and replied, "No problem. I will leave a video of my results on the next plane returning to Viridian Base."
Madame Boss saw Giovanni's certainty and had already written the order to buy Mt. Moon.
"Good, I always feel like you, little rascal, still have a lot up your sleeve. I'm truly looking forward to it."
She finally added, "However, as long as it benefits the organization, then it's a good thing. I look forward to your results."
Giovanni respectfully replied, "Yes, Mother, it will be soon."
Dudu…
The call had ended. Giovanni put down the phone and slowly walked out.
Outside, Matt was watching the busy Team Rocket members, having them pack their things, preparing to head to the new base's chosen site, without any sign of prying inside.
However, after Giovanni came out, he suddenly said, "How is it? Boss Giovanni, did the Boss agree? Do you need me to do anything for you?"
Giovanni glanced at Matt, shaking his head self-deprecatingly, "It seems I'm still very naive."
Matt, however, showed no unusual emotions; instead, he praised Giovanni:
"Compared to your peers, and even those Chiefs, your mind is quite mature. So don't overthink it."
He continued, "One must always be wary of others. This point, whether it's you or me, we put it to heart the moment we joined Team Rocket."
Giovanni was even more helpless, "You saying that just makes me feel even more embarrassed."
Matt smiled at Giovanni: "If the Boss Giovanni truly feels bad, how about next time we do research, I'm still the second author?"
Giovanni took two steps forward, aligning himself with Matt, then said, "You sure know how to pick. I've already thought of my next research project, and it's several projects linked together at once."
"Really?" This made Matt surprised; he hadn't expected Giovanni to have an idea so quickly.
Giovanni smiled slightly, "I don't really need to lie to you, do I? It's just a few projects."
Matt looked at Giovanni in shock, realizing he had been outdone.
He could rack his brain and might not even come up with one project, but for Giovanni, it was like common cabbage.
Matt curiously asked Giovanni, "What aspect is it about?"
Giovanni said, "It's still about Pokémon evolution, but this time it requires some external force, and this external force can also become a source of income."
"External force?" Matt had never heard of this before, but was it about Pokémon evolution again?
Giovanni nodded, "That's right, just a little bit of external force, and unlike Yanmega, it's not unstable. Basically, once you get this external force, you can evolve."
Matt looked at Giovanni with a complex expression, "You could truly be called a Doctor of Pokémon Evolution."
Matt also guessed that what Giovanni had been hiding before must be about this, "So what you've been hiding from me is this external force, right?"
Giovanni nodded, pulled out one of the Moon Stones, and handed it to Matt. Since Madame Boss had already given her approval, Giovanni had nothing to hide.
"It's this. I found it in the Haunter of a thousand years cave."
Matt held the Moon Stone in his hand, curiously playing with it, "This stone can make Pokémon evolve?"
Giovanni chuckled, "Hmm, I call this type of stone 'Evolution Stone' in general. This one is called a Moon Stone."
"Moon Stone?" Matt murmured the words twice, then said, "You mean there's more than just this one type of Evolution Stone?"
As he thought about it, he understood, "No wonder. This involves a lot. It was indeed right for you to hide it from me before."
He placed the Moon Stone back into Giovanni's hand.
Giovanni put the Moon Stone away and explained to Matt:
"Currently, I only have Moon Stones. For other Evolution Stones, I still need Mother to help me collect them first."
Matt eagerly asked Giovanni, "When are you doing this research?"
Giovanni explained his idea, "I want to wait until the Yanmega research is out before preparing for this."
Matt immediately said, "The Yanmega project takes time, didn't you say this one is quick? Let's do this first."
Giovanni shook his head, telling him to calm down, "Don't rush. This project will still take some time to be released. We need to collect enough Evolution Stone first."
Matt replied to Giovanni, "That's not important. I just yearn to witness miracles. That's what a Researcher aspires to."
Giovanni originally wanted to refuse him, but the Poké Ball containing Nidorino on his waist shook a few times. This little guy was also very eager.
Giovanni could only say, "Alright then, let's get ready."
Matt asked with concern, "Do you have suitable Pokémon? Are you sure they can evolve?"
If it weren't for the Yanmega, without any concrete evidence from Giovanni, a normal person wouldn't believe he could be so talented.
But there was no helping it, it was truly the case.
Giovanni patted the Poké Ball, "Of course, it was my Pokémon that helped me confirm this possibility, which is why I have this confidence."
Matt was completely impatient, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Giovanni smiled helplessly and walked with him to the research project area.
There were a few Team Rocket members recording videos of Yanmega teaching Yanmega.
Upon seeing Giovanni and Matt arrive, they quickly saluted them: "Boss Giovanni, Lord Matt."
Giovanni asked them, "How is it? Any progress?"
They immediately replied, "Three Yanmega are about to learn Ancient Power. We will prepare suitable energy liquid to help them raise their levels."
Giovanni's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his lips, "Very good."
It seems many good things are happening lately.
