Ash was amazed as he was driving down the road to Professor Elm lab he had with him Pikachu and Meowth and of course Porygon within his tablet. He was trying to spot any Pokemon he could see he knew he couldn't catch him because no Poké Ball would work for him until the Johto journey was to start. They finally pulled up to the lab and Ash was disappointed he didn't see any new Pokemon on the way here.
They walked into the lab and Professor Elm was waiting and he seemed surprised to see Ash "I didn't think you would be so young." Ash laughed Elm held out his hand "anyways I am Professor Elm."
Ash held out his hand "Ash Ketchum junior researcher, Inventor, Honorary Officer, Trainer and winner of the Orange League."
Elm seemed impressed "that is the resume I have read a lot about you and I am looking forward to working with you."
"I read a lot about you Professor and this should be a privilege and we should get a lot done."
The League leader cleared his throat Ash had forgotten all about him "seeing as you two are going to be talking shop I will take my leave." With that he stepped back out the door they came in.
"Let me show you where you will be staying for now." Ash was shown his room he set down his pack and then took him outside this is where he saw a whole bunch of strange and new Pokemon he was in Heaven. "Since I am sure you would like to know all about them and see them you can help me feed them."
"That sounds good to me but for now we have time until dinner about we get started." Ash heard the groans for his Pokemon "Professor Elm do you mind if my Pokemon go play in the field."
"Sure I don't have a problem with that." So they hopped off his shoulder and Ash and Elm headed inside into the lab. "So what do you want to work on first Ash?"
"Well I think we should compile a list of all Pokemon that may have baby forms for my region and see if any of the items here would induce a younger form. We then can gain permission to send those items and or Pokemon to various breeders and see what we can get."
Professor Elm nodded his head "you do realize though once they hatch we will be tasked with naming the Pokemon."
"We shall worry about that later. Now what items don't induce evolution in Pokemon and that you have found no use for."
Professor elm walked and began to dig through drawers and pulled something out "this is called Normal Incense. It doesn't do anything nor does it smell good when burned."
Ash went over and looked at it seemed normal to him "do you have an analyzer so we check the radiation."
Professor Elm walked over to a machine and placed it in and they waited. It took a while so Ash turned to Elm "so do you mind if I synch to your computer so I can download the information I have to your computer."
"Sure while you are in there go ahead and download and synch up your tablet so you can get the Pokedex and just in case want to send me Pokemon."
He plugged in his tablet "Ok Porygon. Start the download."
Professor Elm had a strange look on his face "Ash is Porygon the name of your program or a Pokemon." He asked confused.
Ash turned to face him "it is a Pokemon human created it lives inside of computers. But I was tasked with making it official a Pokemon by making so it could be caught. But unknown to me instead of staying in the Poké Ball it downloaded to my tablet which all balls are connected so I could technical call it out but I chose to leave it inside of there."
Elm was amazed "But you talk to it as if it understands you."
"It does it has taken on a personality and a voice all of its own."
There was a ding the analysis was complete "sir I am also done you may unplug me." Porygon said.
"Thanks Porygon." He unplugged it and took the tablet and went over to the computer the analysis was on.
Elm stepped aside "go around and download so you can look at it later."
Ash plugged in the tablet and when it was done he unplugged. He went to look at it on his tablet but Porygon was running something "Porygon what are you doing?"
"Sir I am running the results and comparing them to your data and see what I can come up with."
"Ok Porygon once that is complete let me know."
"Well do sir."
Ash turned to Elm "so what can we do in the meantime."
Elm looked at his watch "well it is almost feeding time and the workers should be taking the food out to the fields so if you want we can go out there and see some of them."
Ash almost broke his neck he was nodding it so fast "I would love to that would be awesome."
So they headed outside and Ash saw of the coolest Pokemon Elm told them the names and Ash made a list in his mind when his journey started he would try and catch some of them. They headed back inside for their own dinner. It was leftovers but they were still good. As they cleaned up from dinner Porygon spoke "sir I have that list if you want it."
"Ok one second Porygon let us get back to the lab." They got back to the lab and they both sat down on separate stools. "Ok Porygon. Give us the names of the Pokemon and say through the tablet so we can both hear you."
"As you wish sir" Porygon said in his ear. Then Porygon switched over and spoke through the tablet "Normal Incense will result in a pre-evolved form for Clefairy, Jigglypuff, Pikachu, Jynx, Electabuzz, Magmar, Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan."
Ash was stunned by the last one he pulled out his tablet and brought up Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee. He began to analyze everything and break down everything he didn't hear Professor Elm trying to get his attention. Ash awoke to someone shacking he opened eyes to see Professor Elm "Ash it is morning what time do you fall asleep."
Ash shrugged "I don't know but I did find something out interesting."
"What is it what did you find out."
"Before I came here I was given permission to download breeding records. So I went through the breeding records for Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan and I found something interesting." Elm's eyes and his hand movements where telling him to get on with it. "Well I couldn't find out a key piece of the puzzle until I pulled up the move set of the Pokemon. Doing this also solved an age old question as to why a Hitmonlee breed with a Ditto would produce a Hitmonchan or a Hitmonlee would produce with Ditto would get a Hitmonchan."
Professor Elm was shocked "we have Ditto here I think this is the one Pokemon all regions have but doesn't make since for a Hitmonchan to produce a Hitmonlee or a Hitmonlee to produce a Hitmonchan."
"It does Hitmonlee will be born if it the parents knows more attack moves a Hitmonchan will be born if the parent knows more defense moves."
Elm jumped in "so wait if they have a baby if you teach it more attack moves it will evolve into Hitmonlee but if you teach it defense moves it will evolve into Hitmonchan."
Ash grinned at him "Yes but I thought of something last night what if the baby moves where equal parts defense and attack what would it evolve into."
Elm's eyes went wide "It would have to be a whole new evolution we would have a whole new Pokemon on are hands."
Ash nodded his head "that is my theory."
Elm sat down a bench "this is simple amazing we have thought of this on the first day what will we think of next."
Ash laughed "Professor we have a whole lot of naming to do don't forgot that either."
