Derrick Research Institute.
Compared to the bustling Grand Arena, the research institute was quite desolate.
Scholar Derrick was looking at the Pokémon in front of him with a face full of curiosity.
It was a strange Pokémon with a gray body, a single eye located in the center of its spherical torso, and a horseshoe-shaped Magnet on both its left and right sides.
Magnemite, an Electric-type Pokémon.
According to Derrick's research, Pokémon of this type possessed a very peculiar power within their bodies, which he called: electricity.
As a researcher, a new idea suddenly popped into Derrick's head.
Since the flames used by Fire-type Pokémon could be used as energy, what about the electricity of Electric-type Pokémon?
An image flashed through Derrick's mind.
On a rainy day, lightning falls from the sky, striking a tree and igniting a raging fire.
And while electric energy appears, it emits light.
If this electricity could be collected and stored, could it replace kerosene lamps and become the new lighting tool for Nimbasa City?
Derrick felt as if a brand-new world was slowly unfolding before him.

[Your subject Derrick has become interested in the electricity of Electric-type Pokémon; Derrick has begun researching electricity.]
Inside the castle.
Draconis, who had just exchanged for electrical technologies such as the [generator] and [electric light], was preparing to hand them over to the Artisans of the Royal Workshop for research. He hadn't expected to suddenly see such a notification on the territory panel.
Derrick? Interested in electricity?
Draconis looked at the notification with great interest.
Interesting.
He suddenly remembered something. If he didn't use his cheat to unlock technology, would the humans of this era, relying solely on their own strength, create a series of electrical technologies like electric lights themselves?
The answer was yes.
It was only a matter of time.
In that case, let him add more fuel to this fire!
Draconis summoned Alfred and told him to give these blueprints and technologies to the Artisans of the Royal Workshop for research.
"By your command, Your Majesty."
Alfred was already accustomed to all this. He took the blueprints and prepared to turn and leave.
"Wait a moment!"
"What is it, Your Majesty?" Alfred paused slightly and looked back at Draconis.
"I heard that Derrick has been researching Electric-type Pokémon lately. Have him go to the Royal Workshop to research together with the Artisans," Draconis said. Perhaps Derrick would bring him some new surprises.
After a brief daze, Alfred nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
*
In the research institute, when Derrick heard this news, he was momentarily stunned.
"His Majesty has invited me to visit the Royal Workshop?" he asked in disbelief.
What does His Majesty mean by this?
"His Majesty said you'll know once you get there," Alfred said with a smile.
"Alright then." Derrick nodded, then put down his research and followed Alfred to the Royal Workshop located in the central area of Nimbasa City.
As soon as he entered, he was captivated by the scene.
On a huge table, many miniature objects were placed, including a scaled-down version of the steam train he was familiar with, a miniature model of the entire Nimbasa City, and even the original machinery of the steam engine was there.
At this moment, a group of Artisans and Scholars were gathered around a table, researching something together.
Many Electric-type Pokémon were also gathered around, including Mareep, Magnemite, and Joltik.
Derrick walked closer and heard the Artisans say: "Pokémon bio-generator—a power source completely different from the steam engine? Using the electricity of Electric-type Pokémon as a drive, what an incredible idea!"
"light bulb—a tool for lighting, using tungsten filament—"
"I remember the smelter recently acquired a new batch of wolframite, right? In that case, let them give it a try!"
With an order from the Workshop President, the entire Royal Workshop immediately became busy, like a giant machine starting to operate.
Derrick watched this scene, watching the Artisans walk back and forth. Although he didn't understand His Majesty Draconis's intention, he still stayed there obediently to observe.
On the first day, the Artisans used glass to create a glass cover similar to a hood.
On the third day, the smelter sent over the processed wolframite, and the Artisans made it into tungsten filaments.
On the seventh day, under the research of the Artisans, the world's first bio-generator was officially born.
Derrick watched as the Artisans assembled these things and then had the Electric-type Pokémon help start it up.
Immediately after, a magical scene appeared.
In that small glass cover, after the electricity was connected, an incredibly bright light actually lit up!
That's—!
"The electric light, the research is a success!" an Artisan murmured in disbelief.
"A miracle! His Majesty Draconis has created another miracle!" someone said with an excited tone.
Traditional kerosene lamps have a huge demand for kerosene; by contrast, this appliance called an electric light can easily provide lighting with just the power of Pokémon.
And the electricity consumed by one Pokémon might only need one berry to be replenished.
More importantly, from now on, the nights in Nimbasa City will no longer have darkness!
At this moment, everyone realized the importance of this appliance called the 'electric light.'
And Derrick finally realized His Majesty Draconis's purpose for sending him here.
The power within Electric-type Pokémon could indeed be used as an energy source!
Then—what about Pokémon of other types?
Fire-type Pokémon help with daily life, Grass-type Pokémon can help look after crops, Ground-type Pokémon can help with plowing, Water-type Pokémon can help with watering, and the more powerful ones can even change the weather in a short time.
And now, Electric-type Pokémon can also help generate electricity.
There are still so many Pokémon and types in this world that haven't been discovered by humans; what kind of power do they possess?
Derrick's heart suddenly became incredibly excited.
He bid farewell to everyone in the Royal Workshop, turned and ran back to the research institute in excitement, and began a new round of research.
Meanwhile, inside the castle.
Draconis was looking at the small light bulb on the table with great interest.
"Come, Dragonite, help generate some electricity?"
"Awoo~"
Dragonite happily stepped forward and took the electric light in its hand. As a surge of electricity came, this small light bulb magically lit up.
"Awoo!" Dragonite's gaze couldn't help but be drawn to it.
"Your Majesty Draconis, the generator and light bulb have been successfully completed. Currently, our Artisans are carrying out large-scale production of them. It won't be long before they can be promoted to the entire city," Alfred reported.
Draconis nodded slightly.
This was just the beginning.
Next, they would spread electricity across the entire Unova, so that subjects in every place could use electric lights. In this way, humans would no longer fear the dark night.
However, just like laying tracks, this was also a massive project!
Time—they needed enough time to complete it.
