The cobalt-blue body with diamond-like patterns, the four-legged dinosaur-shaped Temporal God, Dialga.

The pearl-white torso with lavender patterns, the bipedal Spatial God, Palkia.

In the holographic projection, a spacetime distortion appeared above White Poplar Town. The two Legendary Pokémon roared at each other, eclipsing the heavens and earth.

The scholars present fell into complete silence.

In mere moments, the footage ended.

Cynthia stood with her golden hair cascading, hands tucked in her lab coat pockets, smiling wordlessly.

"That's it? It's already over?"

"I was just getting into it!"

"Don't tell me the rest is paywalled content?" Lu Ye chimed in.

Professor Oak cleared his throat, his heart equally turbulent.

He had long heard of Lu Ye's legendary feat in White Poplar Town.

The subsequent events were unrelated to the academic report—omitting them would avoid unnecessary complications...

From this precious footage, data like the height and weight of the Temporal-Spatial Twin Dragons could be deduced.

The Sinnoh Pokédex would undoubtedly undergo another update.

Judging by the barely suppressed exclamations from behind,

Professor Oak could imagine the profound impact this research presentation had made.

Not to mention these successive shocks left even him slightly breathless.

"Holy shit!" Professor Kukui blurted out first, his goggles reflecting the light.

Straightforward by nature and with his "Royal Mask" alter ego, he had no filter for such exclamations.

Other researchers turned to look, making the tanned professor blush.

Only then did he remember he was attending as a respected professor at a scientific summit.

"Maybe that wasn't very professional..." Kukui scratched his cheek.

But the Temporal-Spatial Twin Dragons of Sinnoh had stirred indescribable emotions within him.

Not fear, but the thrill of facing the unknown as a researcher.

And as a trainer, seeing these legendary embodiments of time and space made his blood boil.

"This is one of the most Gold Award-worthy discoveries in years!" Kukui thought.

Professor Birch stared at the hologram, unconsciously murmuring, "Holy shit..."

"Huh?" Kukui's eyes widened as he turned to Birch.

The two professors locked eyes, both flushing before falling silent.

*Ahem!* They coughed simultaneously. "Let's continue watching," Birch suggested.

"Right you are," Professor Kukui nodded.

On stage, Cynthia's presentation continued.

"Thus, Sinnoh's mythological legends aren't baseless..."

"And in the Sinnoh Pokédex, they'll finally have their rightful entries."

Cynthia glanced at Professors Rowan and Oak in the audience. The two academic giants smiled approvingly.

"Today marks their official documentation in the Pokédex," Cynthia said warmly. "Sinnoh's mythological research turns a new page."

Thunderous applause erupted, lasting endlessly.

Ritchie wore the numb expression of someone overwhelmed by knowledge, muttering, "I'm stunned... completely stunned..."

"Teacher Lu" rubbed the cheeks of the Haunter peeking from his shadow, mimicking dramatically: "Stunned... completely stunned!"

"Gengarrr~~" Haunter's stretched cheeks produced muffled laughter.

"I know you're excited," Professor Mustardseed said mildly, eyeing Lu Ye. "But stay humble."

"After all, these achievements stem from your and Bamboo Lan's tireless efforts."

She patted Lu Ye's shoulder warmly. "You've earned this."

Lu Ye: "Ha... haha!"

"Look, Teacher Lu's so moved he's speechless," Ritchie joked.

Lu Ye took a sharp breath, gazing at the stage.

Spotlights illuminated Cynthia's exquisite features as all eyes rested on her. Their gazes met, and she smiled softly.

Through team comms, Lu Ye guessed her message:

『Cynthia: Did I meet your expectations?』

『Lu Ye: Ecstatic! Absolutely ecstatic today!』

The scholars remained immersed in the successive revelations.

Next was Cynthia's Q&
A session, where any researcher could pose questions.

Yet before this monumental evidence, the hall stayed silent—

Meaning Professor Mustardseed's team had virtually unanimous approval.

On the judges' panel, Professor Oak crossed his arms, reflecting on today's events.

Actually, the summit awarded two Gold Awards.

Beyond that was the even more prestigious "Most Valuable" distinction.

Lu Ye's team easily qualified for Gold, possibly even the top honor.

"This kid never disappoints," Professor Oak thought cheerfully.

Other professors had already mentally tagged Lu Ye with labels like "erudite" and "accomplished."

"Is this genius...?" Professor Sycamore murmured.

Dr. Show repeatedly reviewed translated documents on his tablet, sighing in admiration:

"Some are born with gifts beyond ordinary reach."

"Perhaps this is where Arceus shows no fairness..."

Hearing these whispers, "Teacher Lu" sighed deeply, remaining silent.

Ritchie scratched his head, not disturbing him, whispering to a colleague:

"There are multiple Gold Awards... we still have a chance..."

Lu Ye's ears perked up instantly, voice trembling: "Multiple Gold Awards?"

"Right. Teams like yours and Professor Mustardseed's usually receive Gold notifications same-day," the colleague explained.

Lu Ye: "..."

Professor Mustardseed's lips curved slightly. "Stay humble."

Perhaps feeling the Q&
A silence was awkward,

a young woman with purple hair stood, adjusting her glasses. "I-I'm Fennel, a Unova researcher studying dream energy."

"Since the theme is Sinnoh's Legendary Pokémon," she said shyly, "I've heard of Darkrai and Cresselia's legends... they're also connected to dreams. May I ask about..."

Cynthia offered an apologetic smile. "Truthfully, our research hasn't covered all Sinnoh's legendaries..."

Suddenly, cheerful electronic chirps broke the silence.

"Beep... Roger that, Rotom!"

All eyes turned to Lu Ye as a Rotom Pokédex floated up.

Blue beams projected images of Cresselia and Darkrai on stage, even footage of Lunar Dance...

"Captured precious photos, Rotom!" Rotom waved its arms proudly.

"Wow!" Fennel's pupils dilated, applauding softly. "Amazing..."

Did they omit these legendaries for being less prestigious?

Lu Ye and Cynthia were one team anyway.

Using Rotom for data collection was perfectly reasonable.

The crowd stared at Lu Ye, realization dawning.

Could yesterday's insomnia incident have been resolved by...?

"Right, Lu Ye's also an elite trainer."

"Both champions pursuing research... Hmm... I approve!"

"Approve what? Explain yourself..."

Cynthia smiled tenderly toward Lu Ye.

Professor Mustardseed remarked, "You held back another surprise."

Lu Ye: "..."

Well played, Little Rotom!
