Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

Chapter 118 Resurrecting the Ice and Snow Dragon

The Devon Corporation is located in the very center of Kanaz City, and is far more luxurious than it appears in the game.

The building's exterior features a deep blue glass curtain wall that refracts brilliant light under the sun.

The top features the prominent Devon Corporation logo, a sophisticated metal sculpture combining a gear and a Poké Ball, showcasing the concept of a perfect fusion of technology and Pokémon.

The building has a streamlined design and a total of thirty floors, resembling a blue giant standing in the city center.

The Kanaz Gym is just across the street.

Devon's core business focuses on high-tech research and development.

Its star product, "Pokémon Navigator," is highly regarded among battle enthusiasts. It can automatically record battle data, providing valuable information for trainers to face off again in the future.

In addition, the company continues to innovate in Poké Ball technology, with advanced products such as the Great Ball continuously improving the efficiency of Pokémon capture.

So it's hard to imagine that the young master of this company is so addicted to mining all day long.

Perhaps it was Daigo's hobby that led Devon Corporation to invest heavily in developing a fossil revival device.

This business is clearly a losing proposition.

Fossils aren't as plentiful as Pikachu, which are as common as stray dogs on the roadside; some people never see one in their entire lives.

This business is so unpredictable that it might not even be used by a single person in a year, so it's destined to lose money.

But there's nothing we can do; the young master likes it.

Upon entering the company, you'll see a beautiful carpet with a small fist-shaped pattern on the floor.

"Hello, what kind of service do you need?" The twin ladies standing at the front desk asked enthusiastically.

The first floor of Devon Company is for customer consultation projects, the second floor is the research and development work area, and the third floor and above are office areas.

"I made an appointment with Daigo to come see him."

"Oh, so you're Mr. Daigo's friend. Please come with me."

It was obvious that Daigo had already spoken to the receptionist, who led him to the elevator and pressed the button for the fourth floor.

Ding!

After getting off the elevator, Fang Zhou was stunned by what he saw.

Before me were display cases, each containing exquisite handicrafts or historical artifacts.

Instead, they were stones of various shapes!

Well, rich people have really unique interests; displaying stones in a showcase?

Boom boom boom!

The moment the knocking ended, the door opened, revealing Daigo's smiling face behind it.

"I've been waiting for you, Ark! Quick, let me see the fossil! I've been researching all day, guess what Pokémon it is?"

"Ice and Snow Dragon," Ark replied.

A look of surprise flashed in Daigo's eyes. He patted Ark's shoulder forcefully, as if he had found a long-lost friend:

"As expected! I knew we were kindred spirits! That's right, this is the Ice Dragon, which was thought to be extinct! If it can be successfully resurrected, it will definitely shock the entire fossil research community!"

Daigo was very excited and led Ark toward the research room on the second floor, where the fossil revival device was located.

"Wait a moment, the researcher is out on fieldwork. I've told him to hurry back." Daigo smiled. "Before he gets here, I'll take a few pictures of Ishida as a memento."

Okay, take pictures all you want.

Fangzhou thought Daigo was going to take pictures with his phone or camera, but he clearly underestimated Daigo's level of expertise.

He carefully placed the fossil into a transparent glass container, then gently pushed it into an instrument with a large display screen above it.

After Daigo performed a series of operations, the image of the fossil appeared on the screen.

It is extremely fine, so fine that you can see every single line on it.

Click, click!

Daigo controlled the machine to slowly rotate, taking a large number of photos, truly a 360-degree view without any blind spots.

"Alright, with these photos, I can find someone to help me make a model of the fin fossil and put it in the exhibition hall. This kind of thing is really rare in the Hoenn region."

Just then, the researcher in charge arrived, drenched in sweat, clearly having run all the way up.

"Let's go, let's revive the fossils."

The fossil resurrection device consists of a main culture chamber and dozens of energy tubes that flash blue light. The inner walls of the chamber are covered with sophisticated sensors.

As the researchers started the device, the entire machine hummed, and fine bubbles began to rise in the culture medium, as if injecting new life energy into the dormant fossil.

"Alright, it will take thirty days for the fossil to be revived. You can come and take a look after thirty days."

Daigo kindly reminded him, "The Ice Dragon Pokémon has very high environmental requirements, so you'll need to prepare an ice cellar for it at the manor."

Fangzhou nodded. He had already arranged with Robin to start construction today, so he declined Daigo's invitation to sit and chat about life and stones and rushed back to the manor.

Just as they entered the manor, Robin arrived in her big truck. However, unlike before, this time she brought not only the Mighty Legion, but also several Digletts and a little earth dragon.

"We're starting to excavate the ice cellar today!" Robin said excitedly to the Ark. "It'll take three whole days to excavate, a huge project."

Fangzhou nodded to indicate that he understood; Robin had already told him about it yesterday.

The excavation of an ice cellar is not as simple as letting Pokémon go in and use the Dig skill. You also need to set up protective devices to make the ice cellar completely stable so that it will not collapse and can even remain stable during an earthquake.

"The ice cellars I dug and built will remain unharmed even in the event of an 8-magnitude earthquake."

Robin spoke with great pride about his profession.

After the other Pokémon finished their work, they all gathered around to watch Robin begin.

The three gophers took the lead, venturing out neat tunnels in the designated area according to the blueprints.

The strongmen were responsible for moving the excavated soil and rocks. Their four strong arms easily lifted huge rocks and piled them outside, waiting to be shoveled away all at once when the work was finished.

The younger earth dragons, on the other hand, focused on conquering the hard rock layers, using their hard heads to violently ram the particularly stubborn rock formations. Each impact was accompanied by a dull thud and a spray of rubble, steadily pushing the cave deeper into the cave.

The ice cellar project began to proceed in an orderly manner.

……

Meanwhile, inside the groundhog's burrow, the blue cotton bird, hiding under its invisibility cloak, watched the scene unfold before it, trembling with fear, and recorded it with its phone.

It now strongly suspects that the Wind Fairy has been misled into a pyramid scheme!

Inside a large hall in Diglett's Cave, several Pokémon were chanting slogans, led by a Chatot.

"Work hard!"

"May you smile all the way!"

"I will absolutely not run away!"

What reputable organization's motto is "Never run away"?
