This Mr. Satake's research topic was the ancient history of Pokémon.
Moreover, he proposed a theory of the origin of marine Pokémon. He believed that all life originated in the sea.
"Your great discovery, could it be a new marine Pokémon?" Upon hearing Mr. Satake introduce his research, Misty suddenly rushed over, her eyes sparkling!
As an absolute enthusiast of Water-type Pokémon, how could she not be excited to hear such a theory?
The group chatted and arrived at an iron gate with a red 'X' drawn on it.
"Now, I will lead you all to the world of two million years ago!"
Satake pressed his fingerprint scanner. The iron door opened, and a cool breeze wafted out.
Rare trees, rare grass. Then a Pterodactyl suddenly jumped out. Ash really liked Pterodactyl. It was cool. If he had the chance, he definitely wanted to catch one!
However, the one before them was not real!
"This is an Aerodactyl made using the latest data on ancient Pokémon and the most advanced anime electronic technology!" Satake introduced.
It sounded very high-tech.
But since it wasn't alive, Ash remained uninterested, while Xiaomei was overjoyed.
This was an amusement park!
And an amusement park that hadn't even opened yet!
"This is the Ancient Pokémon Park, an entertainment and academic space that recreates the living environment of ancient Pokémon. Due to the system adjustments taking a lot of time, it hasn't been opened to the public yet!"
Xiaomei hugged Ash's leg. "So amazing, Big Brother Ash, this place is so much fun! Oh, and there's a volcano!"
As she was speaking, a virtual volcano erupted in front of them.
Satake proudly introduced, "I said I'd recreate that environment! In ancient times, the continent was affected by frequent volcanic activity. The land would sometimes sink into or emerge from the sea!"
"Due to such changes, it also brought a huge impact on the evolution of life!" Ash continued.
After speaking, he felt Professor Oak pat his shoulder, acknowledging him with a nod.
Xiaomei then ran to Mr. Satake. "Uncle Satake, besides Aerodactyl, are there any other ancient Pokémon here?"
Just one Aerodactyl wasn't enough to satisfy Xiaomei's boundless curiosity.
Looking at her delicate face, Mr. Satake squatted down. "Xiaomei, don't be impatient! Just stand here, and the great discovery will appear by itself!"
"Is that so?" Xiaomei turned around and ran to Ash's side, staring blankly at the water.
"Hmm?"
Ash's Aura power seemed to detect something. Then, he showed a look of sudden realization. So it's them!
Soon, everyone noticed something approaching the water.
"Everyone, this is a place that completely simulates the coast from two million years ago." Just as the silhouettes of raindrops were about to surface, Satake seemed to be narrating and announcing the arrival of something. "You must look carefully!"
No sooner had Satake finished speaking than the figures at the bottom of the water finally emerged!
Pokémon resembling large snails, with giant spiral shells on their backs, extended blue tentacles from within.
Omanyte's big eyes looked cute. But the evolved Omastar was different. Its eyes looked somewhat terrifying, and its mouth formed a cross shape, appearing exceptionally ferocious.
"They're Omanyte and Omastar!" Professor Oak called out their names.
"They look so real!" Misty, of course, recognized them. She was stunned.
"Big Brother Ash, Omanyte is so cute!" Xiaomei happily ran over. At this moment, the Omanyte had already come ashore. Professor Oak suddenly felt something was wrong!
"Ash, quick, stop Xiaomei! These Omanyte are..." Professor Oak suddenly exclaimed. If the little girl rashly goes forward and is attacked, it would be no small matter!
But it was too late. Xiaomei had already squatted in front of an Omanyte. She reached out her pink little finger, wanting to touch Omanyte's tentacles.
A wet sensation. Xiaomei suddenly understood. These were alive!
"Ah, Big Brother Ash, they're alive!" Xiaomei, like a startled little rabbit, instantly darted back to Ash's side, hugging Ash's leg and hiding behind him.
"Xiaomei, don't be afraid. Aren't Omanyte very cute?" Ash said, comforting her with a smile.
Looking at the Omanyte in front of him, Professor Oak slowly walked forward and reached out to touch their tentacles, feeling a deep sense of nostalgia.
"I'm so moved. I never thought I'd get to touch real ancient Pokémon."
"The reason I started researching Pokémon was because I saw an Omanyte fossil. The shell I saw in the museum had a very beautiful spiral pattern. Seeing them is like meeting old friends!"
"Mr. Satake, where did you find these Omanyte and Omastar?" Professor Oak also realized the seriousness of the matter. These truly living fossils, in the eyes of some greedy people, were walking gold.
But even Satake himself didn't know. Before he noticed them, they had already appeared here.
Ash's body flashed with light. He looked at Satake and said seriously, "Mr. Satake, underground here, there exists a world preserved for two million years. I suggest immediately sealing this artificial pond and taking measures for the source of this water!"
"Ash?" Misty had never heard Ash speak so solemnly about anything, nor had she ever seen Ash look so serious!
Just as Ash was speaking, everyone, without noticing, found that several Omanyte had appeared beside them. At this point, Satake also believed Ash's words.
Under this artificial lake and deep within the mountains, an Omanyte tribe had lived and multiplied for two million years!
"Ash, you've really grown up!" Professor Oak looked at Ash with pride.
These things, let them researchers handle it!
Since they wanted to protect these Omanyte, Misty, as a Water-type Pokémon trainer, didn't even think about catching one.
But she didn't care. Keeping it a secret was the best way to handle these Omanyte.
