Devon Corporation headquarters.
Although this place is where Devon conducts various business and scientific research, there's also a private room for Diantha.
Inside the room, the most abundant pieces of furniture are cabinets, which are covered with oddly shaped stones.
There are Evolutionary Stones, meteorites, fossils, crystals, gemstones... all kinds of rare stones are collected in this room.
The Champion of the Area of Fragrant Fate, Diantha, sat on a stone chair with a helpless expression, looking at a pile of documents on the table.
"This title of Champion... is so boring..." Dahu sighed, "I need to find an opportunity to pass it to someone else soon."
Being a Champion wasn't easy.
If it weren't for the need for Devon's growth to have him as a Champion, Diantha would prefer traveling around to collect rare stones rather than being a Champion and taking over the family business.
Therefore, with this mindset, even after becoming a Champion, apart from matters concerning the safety of the Hoenn region, Diantha would slack off as much as possible, typically dealing only with major issues and ignoring the trivial ones.
However, in a sense, though somewhat unorthodox, Diantha was still a qualified Champion because he was always at the forefront of matters concerning the security of Hoenn.
Diantha glanced at his watch, remembering that today was the day Fang Yuan had arranged to meet with him.
Diantha had thought that Fang Yuan was going to discuss with him, the Champion, the matters of the Twin Deities of Fang Yuan, but what he didn't expect was that Fang Yuan said his intention of coming today was "collaboration."
Collaboration in the field of technology...
Although somewhat puzzled, considering that Groudon and Kyogre had both eagerly requested Fang Yuan to be their Trainer, Diantha didn't dare to treat Fang Yuan negligently.
He wanted to probe the depths of this mysterious Fang Yuan from this exchange—he was too curious about him.
"Has he arrived?"
While waiting, Diantha suddenly received a notification from the company's reception and immediately went down to greet him personally.
......
Devon Corporation first floor lobby.
While waiting for Diantha, the receptionist energetically introduced the achievements of Devon Corporation in various fields to Fang Yuan.
As the esteemed guest of the young president, it was natural to host him well, and Duanjuan, waiting with Fang Yuan, also waited boredly alongside.
As for the main technologies of Devon, Fang Yuan actually didn't need an introduction to be quite comprehensive in his understanding of them.
Like magma energy technology, Fossil Revival Technology, Special Poke Ball Technology...
And inventions such as the detection mirror, Dive equipment, and multifunctional navigators are even more numerous.
However, what truly propelled Devon to rise, rivaling Silph Co, was Devon's research into the application of ∞ Energy,
∞ Energy is a special energy converted from the Life Energy of Pokemon, also known as Vital Energy. Devon's inspiration for studying it came from the ultimate weapon of the Kalos region.
In the past ten years, Devon created special rockets and submarines powered by ∞ Energy, with a very aggressive momentum; it can be said that, currently, Devon's aerospace and diving technologies can be claimed to be the best in the Pokemon World. It's precisely the energy exploration in the ocean and universe that catapulted Devon Corporation into becoming one of the foremost giant corporations in the Pokémon World.
Allegedly, utilizing ∞ Energy, Devon is also researching a Dimensional Transmission Device, unlike the short-range space transmission technology developed by Silph Co, Devon's device is said to be capable of traversing time and space, similar to Celebi's ability.
And these technologies, the knowledge-seeking Dr. Fang Yuan, was quite interested in understanding more about.
Everything for science...
"Mr. Fang Yuan, sorry to have kept you waiting... Eh, Miss Duanjuan is here too??"
After rushing down, Diantha immediately found Fang Yuan, but to his surprise, he also found that Duanjuan had just come to visit him.
Diantha slapped his forehead, then remembered that he had told Duanjuan that he would be free these days at Devon Corporation and that she could come to consult with him about Beldum's cultivation.
Ah, Duanjuan came at an inconvenient time.
"Emmm." Diantha's eyes flickered, giving Duanjuan a bad feeling.
Fang Yuan, Eevee: (´◔‸◔`)
A few minutes later.
Fang Yuan went upstairs alone with Diantha, while Duanjuan's consultation on Pokemon cultivation was postponed by Diantha until tomorrow.
Watching the backs of Diantha and Fang Yuan as they left, Duanjuan felt a rush of frustration, wasn't it said that he would be available at Devon these days?
Faced with a choice between a beautiful girl and a handsome guy, Diantha actually chose the handsome guy. She had reason to suspect something was wrong with Diantha—
Darn it.
......
Within the room filled with stones.
Fang Yuan sat on a stone chair with slight discomfort.
Diantha's home in Green Ridge City wasn't so strange, so why was this room so weird...
"Uh, Mr. Fang Yuan, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
After making a cup of tea for Fang Yuan with a stone cup, Diantha asked.
"It's fine... I just didn't expect Mr. Diantha to have such a fondness for rocks..."
"Haha... The layout and style here are indeed quite special, but after getting used to it, it's actually pretty nice."
Diantha also sat down, looking at Fang Yuan with a warm smile: "These are all part of my proud collection. Even what looks like a very ordinary Evolutionary Stone is actually quite extraordinary."
"Mr. Fang Yuan, feel free to look around. If you see anything you like, you can choose it as a gift from me to the hero who saved Hoenn..."
Fang Yuan: ⚆_⚆ Alert.
Don't think you can dismiss me with a few stones—
At this moment, Eevee was already waddling around the room, exploring.
Diantha didn't rush to discuss official business with Fang Yuan, instead, he started to casually chat about his collection first.
