Dr. Ohki's research institute.

Wataru, Oki, and Karp were sitting together at the moment - after the Institute's machinery was back up and running, Dr. Oki's work was clearly a lot more leisurely. The machine itself is geared towards lazy people, so in times like this, you won't have much trouble doing nothing.

However, Dr. Oki has a love for elves, and he spent a day checking on the elves after Wataru and Karp spent a day restoring power.

Finally—in the early morning of Wataru and Karp's third day here, Dr. Ohki was ready. The three of them finally began to put together questions about the lightning bird.

"I've had people look for it in the last few days."

The first to speak was Wataru, after all, he was talking about the Lightning Bird, and what you asked Karp and Oki to say, and there really wasn't much information to say. After all, Karp has been busy counting money and subduing electric shock monsters for the past few days. After the subduation, he came over, and he didn't even have time to use the Thor's armor for the electric shock monster, let alone to find information about the lightning bird.

Dr. Oki is similar, he has been sitting in front of his computer for the past few days, paying attention to his elven ecosystem, and naturally he has not looked for information about the lightning bird.

Wataru、It looks like he's just sitting there and pretending to sleep.,But in fact, he's mobilized all the men he can so far to help find the lightning bird.。

The Special Investigator needs to prepare for the operation against Team Rocket recently, and there is basically no big move. But he's still a member of the Dragonbringer's clan, and he can always find a few people to work with. And the Dragon Messenger clan is famous for training dragon elves, so there is naturally no shortage of powerful trainers in the clan.

The search for the Lightning Bird is related to Wataru competing for the championship, and if he really becomes the first champion in the alliance, it will be of great benefit to the Dragonbringer clan and even the Dragon Clan.

So this time, the trainers who came out to search for the lightning bird were all good at the dragon messenger clan and the dragon land, but the result was very disappointing.

"I sent out the manpower on the first day, and now I've been looking for it for two days, but the results are not satisfactory.

Because the thunderclouds have been in the sky, I didn't let them detect the inside of the thunderclouds, and for the sky, I just set up a monitor for lightning birds around the thunderclouds. But it's almost certain that the lightning bird has never been out of range of the thunderclouds, nor is it on the ground in this area—at least under the cover of the thunderclouds, there is no sign of the lightning bird on the ground, and there are no reports of the lightning bird flying out of the thunderclouds.

If there is any place where it is hiding, it is probably hiding in this huge thundercloud. ”

Listening to Wataru's words, Karp nodded.

Wataru is so sure that he can basically confirm the correctness of the information.

Since there is no figure on the ground, and the other party has not been found, the most likely thing is indeed the thundercloud in the sky that has always stayed here.

But......

As Karp pondered, Dr. Oki spoke first.

"Wataru, there's something I still have to make clear to you before we get over.

Although this incident can basically be determined to be done by the lightning bird, and there is indeed a large area of dark clouds in the sky at present, this does not necessarily mean that the lightning bird is really here, can you understand? ”

Listening to Dr. Oki's words, Wataru smiled and nodded.

"I can understand that if I find it in the sky, it is my chance. If you can't find it, it doesn't matter. ”

Daki watched Wataru maintain such a mentality before finally nodding.

Although he is a person who is afraid of trouble, he will not go back on promising good things. As a being who can be regarded as a senior in both life and on the path of a trainer, Dr. Oki just doesn't want to expect too much - because the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment in the end.

Finding the legendary elf is a matter of complete luck, and it can be said that it is normal not to find it. So he didn't want Wataru to have too high expectations at the beginning, be disappointed in the end, and even be affected by his mentality.

- After all, he himself said that there is still important work to be done afterwards.

Watari knows this, and although he feels that Dr. Oki is too worried, he still knows that the other party has good intentions.

And Karp looked at this situation, and he didn't have a good impression of the profession of special search officer.

Although it seems that being a special investigator enjoys the treatment of a civil servant, and he has a certain amount of authority to use wherever he goes, so that he can better complete his tasks, being a special investigator is extremely unfree.

Even if Wataru wants to find the lightning bird for his championship path, he must do it when there is no special search officer mission.

As for the encirclement and suppression mission of Team Rocket, basically the alliance issued an order that he, the special search officer, should arrive at the designated location at the specified time.

For this kind of profession that is called around by the big guys in the league, Karp doesn't like it at all.

Sure enough, it's better to be a bounty hunter, at least you can choose when you want to do the quest and the type of quest you accept. Moreover, the income of bounty hunters is not comparable to that of civil servants with fixed salaries, such as special search officers.

Whether it's out of the need for money or out of the consideration of the future, Karp feels that being a special search officer is not a good thing. So Wataru is basically going to be disappointed this time.

After making a decision in his heart, Karp put this issue aside for the time being, after all, he said that he would make a decision after the end of this mission, so what he had to do now was to do the task at hand first.

"Since your mentality is okay, then we can find a way to disperse the thunderclouds first.

If we encounter the lightning bird inside the thundercloud, it will be too bad for us, so it is better to disperse the thundercloud first. ”

Karp thought for a moment.

"If it's really hiding in a thundercloud, then if we disperse it, it will definitely come out.

I don't think I need to worry about whether it will make it angrier. Anyway, it was ready to fight it head-on from the beginning, so its anger has nothing to do with us - because, in the end, as long as we get the approval of the lightning bird with fair combat, then there is a way to remedy it. ”

Listening to Karp's words, Wataru and Oki looked at each other, thought for a while, and then nodded.

Karp was right, as long as the victory was won in the end, then the anger of the lightning bird would also be appeased, so there was still a chance to make amends.

After confirming the plan, Dr. Oki nodded.

"Leave it to me if you don't let it get out of it, and to dispel the weather. When the time comes, you will be in a complete state to face the lightning bird. ”

Wataru nodded, and Karp laughed too.

"I'll be with Dr. Ohki, you don't have to worry about me, I'm not arrogant enough to think I can compete with the legendary elves, so you just give it your all."

Listening to Karp's words, Wataru also sorted out his state and stood up first.

"I know, I'll fight the lightning bird with all my might, and I'll leave the rest to you."

As he spoke, Wataru slowly put on his gas mask, and his voice turned into a synthesized sound.

"Alright, let's go."
