Nibi City, the institute where Nero Fellow works.

Tingshu arrived here before Ash and the others, but soon, Ash and his party also arrived in a hurry.

According to the coordinates given by Tingshu, Xiao Gang, a native of Nibi City, led the way, and Xiao Zhi and the three of them quickly found the research institute.

"This is it......" Xiao Gang checked the map, exhaled, and then said to Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xia.

"So what are you waiting for, let's get in quickly." Ash quickly stepped forward and couldn't wait to press the doorbell.

"Ding Dong~"

As the bell rang, the door was opened shortly after, and Researcher Nero, who had a messy exploding head but looked energetic, walked out with a smile: "You should be the guest invited by Researcher Tingshu, right?" Come in. ”

After greeting Ash and the three of them, Researcher Nero looked at Xiao Gang, one of the three, and suddenly let out a "huh".

"You're not ......"

"Hello, I'm Xiao Gang, the former gym trainer of the Nibi Gym, and I'm traveling with them right now."

Xiao Gang said with a smile, as a gym trainer, he used to often attend some activities in Nibi City, although he was not as famous as Tingshu in Akiba Town, but it was normal for some people who lived in Nibi City to feel familiar when they saw him.

"It turned out to be the gym trainer of the Nibi Gym, I said." Researcher Nero suddenly realized, patted his forehead and continued to greet warmly, not noticing that there was a little sister from the Hualan Dao Hall among the three...

In the research institute, Tingshu saw the few people led in by Researcher Nero, and greeted him with a slight smile: "Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, you are finally here." ”

After seeing Tingshu, Ash was obviously stunned, but he quickly remembered the electric ball, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Tingshu, when will the challenge you said start?" ”

"Children, don't be in a hurry."

At this time, Researcher Nero brought tea, and he looked at the three of Ash with a smile, especially Ash.

When he saw Ash and the Pikachu on his shoulder, he knew that Ash was the hero of this experiment, and based on the experience of Nero researcher in studying the electric elves, the Pikachu on Ash's shoulder was indeed well cultivated.

However, even if it was well bred, Researcher Nero still didn't know what was special about this Pikachu compared to other Pikachus, and didn't understand where Tingshu's confidence came from.

"Thank you."

Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, and Xiaozhi took the tea and thanked them.

After taking the tea, the three of them sat down and rested for a while, after which Tingshu slowly spoke: "Ash, before I start, I will tell you a few precautions. ”

"Okay." Ash nodded.

"Pikachu, listen carefully, too." Tingshu continued.

"Pickup!" Pikachu nodded as well.

"The electric ball is a special prop that I accidentally got in the Carlos area, and its essence is a bead full of special electricity, as for the mechanism of becoming stronger, it is different from the charging process of ordinary electric elves."

"Your Pikachu may have experience using charging to increase the power of electric moves, but electric balls are much more advanced than charging."

Tingshu spoke, and both Ash and Gang listened carefully.

"The special electricity contained in the electric ball has the nature of fusion, and can be fused with Pikachu's electrical energy to form a new electrical energy, this new electrical energy has a special effect, which can form a violent thunder and lightning power that stimulates the vitality of the body, that is to say, if Pikachu masters this thunder and lightning power, then it can stimulate the vitality through thunder and lightning, and directly improve the physical fitness in the battle, this enhancement mechanism is far more comprehensive than charging and improving, and the strength of the improvement is greater!"

Tingshu spoke very popularly, and Pikachu, Xiaogang, and Xiaoxia all understood this mechanism.

As for Ash, looking at his vague face, Tingshu didn't know if the other party understood or not......

"Anyway, it would be nice to be stronger." Ash said suddenly.

"Okay, then I'll explain why this is a challenge, because in the process of fusing the electric ball, the violent thunder and lightning power generated will cause a very large physical burden on Pikachu, and if Pikachu can't control this thunder and lightning power, and the willpower can't work, then the fusion will fail."

"Don't worry, Pikachu will do it." Ash stood up and clenched his fists confidently, but the next moment, he was punched by Xiaoxia.

"Mr. Tingshu, ignore this idiot for now, may I ask, will it hurt Pikachu if the fusion fails?" Xiaoxia asked.

"If the safety measures are in place, there is no danger." Tingshu shook his head.

At this point, Tingshu has explained everything.

"Pikapi!"

At the same time, Pikachu glanced at Ash, both the trainer and the elf were full of confidence, although they knew that the process of fusing the electric ball was very difficult, but neither of them showed worried expressions.

"Good spirits, so when are we going to start?" Nero said.

Tingshu looked at Ash and Pikachu, saw their high-spirited appearances, and said with a smile: "You look at the state of the two of them, I can't wait for a long time, I think it's now." ”

"Yes, we can start anytime!!" Ash said.

After Ash made sure that he was ready, Tingshu and Researcher Nero discussed it with each other again.

Finally, Ting Shu said: "Okay, let's go to the laboratory first, everyone can come together." ”

In the laboratory of the research institute, all the equipment needed to fuse the electric ball has been prepared, and Tingshu not only called Ash and Pikachu, but also sent invitations to Xiaogang and Xiaoxia.

"Is it okay?" Xiao Gang asked.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a simple fusion, and success and failure shouldn't make much difference." Researcher Nero himself had experimented many times, so he was reassured.

In the laboratory, Tingshu took out the electric ball that had been prepared, and then ordered the Lotom Illustrated Book to record all the data.

This time the fusion process, whether it failed or succeeded, the Lotom Illustrated Book took on the heavy responsibility of connecting with the fusion device.

During this time, in order to successfully fuse the electric ball, researcher Nero developed a complex device, which can play a role in stabilizing the power of thunder and lightning, but unfortunately, even with this, his Pikachu still can't successfully fuse.

The installation is like a giant barbecue box...

There is a tray underneath, and inside the box, there is something like a telescopic palm that can grip Pikachu's cheek and stabilize the power of thunder and lightning.

Secondly, there is also a hole in the tray for inlay, which is used to fix the electric ball, and Tingshu can see that this set of devices has taken a lot of effort from researcher Nero, and now the other party can generously take it out for Ash and Pikachu to use, Tingshu is very grateful.

"Pikachu, are you ready?" Tingshu asked.

"Pikachu, come on!!" Ash picked up Pikachu and tried his best to cheer it up, since there would be no danger, of course Ash still hoped that Pikachu could successfully harness the power of the electric ball.

"Pickup!!" Pikachu clenched his fists and nodded earnestly, then looked at Ash, Kasumi, Gang, Tingshu, and Researcher Nero in turn, and finally, under the guidance of Researcher Nero, entered the device that looked like a barbecue box.
