Meanwhile.
Under the lens of numerous media outlets, Fang Yuan's figure emerged on televisions around the world.
Although he might be forgotten soon, at this moment the vast majority of people were paying attention to this young researcher.
Morleen briefly stepped back after the interview, and the formal demonstration segment began.
Fang Yuan walked onto the stage, with his smartphone Rotom also floating beside him, enjoying the treatment once reserved for Eevee.
As a Trainer during interviews, Eevee always followed beside Fang Yuan, but as a researcher now, Rotom had successfully taken Eevee's place.
A bunch of big shots from the academic world were all waiting for Fang Yuan's next move.
In the crowd, Kong Hai looked nonchalantly at the stage, admitting that the lineup was very strong this time. Several of those academic big shots had international status and prestige that far exceeded his own, and Kong Hai was now curious to see just what Fang Yuan was up to.
"Rotom, start the projection," Fang Yuan said.
"Received, Rotom!"
Under the watchful eyes of many, Fang Yuan had Rotom cast a virtual image.
In the picture was an unfamiliar environment, populated with never-before-seen vegetation, filled with the wildness of nature, wilder than even dangerous secret locations.
Seeing the projection, many people showed puzzled expressions.
However, the next moment, a deafening roar erupted from the image.
In the sky above, a grey-bodied Fossil Pterosaur with the semblance of a pteranodon, with four sharp claws, was tearing apart its prey, using its serrated teeth to eat unabashedly, displaying the true nature of a sky dominator.
In the jungle, a Bastiodon with a massive body, red bloody pupils, white spikes growing on the side of its head and feet, and blue war patterns was brutally attacking its prey.
On the grasslands, several Bastognosaurs, very similar to Triceratops and with faces that resembled a hard stone shield, lined up side by side. Relying on their hard facial bones for defense, they protected their offspring that way, with no Pokémon able to break through their defenses.
And as the ancient king, the Dark Red Violent Dragon Monster Jaws Dragon was also using the power of its massive jaws to easily Crunch challengers to pieces...
Besides these... there were also the Ice-type Regice in the cold lands... in the deep sea...
The virtual environment created by Rotom's projection seemed to pull everyone into the ancient world.
"This is…"
Seeing one ancient Pokémon after another clearly, many researchers wore incredulous expressions.
The appearance of the Multi-Spined Flower Stone Beast, Scyther, and Fossil Pterosaur in the image was understandable, but the Bastiodon, Weird Jaw Dragon, Ice-type Regice, and others were only known by fossils and vague concept restoration images so far.
And now, through Rotom, had Fang Yuan not only made their forms clearer but even simulated their evolutionary paths, their habits, environments, and fighting styles?
"Researcher Fang Yuan, have you mastered a new technology for studying Fossil Pokémon?" one archaeologist asked excitedly.
"But, why do all these Pokémon have Rock attribute characteristics??"
Another researcher expressed their confusion.
"Yes, this differs from the ancient Pokémon World scenarios inferred by Dr. Tino."
"I remember that the restored image of the Weird Jaw Dragon should be covered in fur, but in this image, it only has a ring of white fur around the neck and body junction…"
Some researchers familiar with ancient Pokémon questioned.
"Everyone, no need to rush; I don't intend to overturn the research results of some of our predecessors," Fang Yuan said with a smile.
Of course, these Pokémon in the images were not their true forms from ancient times.
Rather...
At this moment, Dr. Lucci looked at Fang Yuan in silence, noting the considerable shift from the realm of Beauty Degree to the domain of Pokémon Fossils.
What did Fang Yuan intend to do now?
Propose a new concept for researching Pokémon fossils? Display a new device for studying fossils?
If that was the case, if it was a valuable research achievement, then the level of sensation it might cause could rival the proposal of the Beauty Degree concept.
"Just as everyone is expecting, the theme that Glamour Contest Company is revealing this time is 'Exploration'."
"'Exploring the essence of Secret Locations,' 'Exploring the origin of Pokémon'!"
As Fang Yuan finished speaking, the room first fell into a hush, then erupted into an uproar.
What?
After carefully pondering the twelve words that came out of Fang Yuan's mouth, many researchers wore confused expressions, then slowly widened their eyes.
Did Fang Yuan understand what he was talking about?!
"Researcher Fang Yuan, please explain in more detail!"
"Yes, what kind of research findings do you have? Have you really developed a new method for researching Pokémon fossils?"
Fang Yuan ignored the chaotic questions. At that moment, a staff member came forward, holding a container with a Jaw Fossil inside.
Taking the fossil out of the container and holding it in front of him, Fang Yuan said, "This is a fossil of a Weird Jaw Dragon. If you're not familiar with this Pokémon, you can equate it with a T-rex."
Fang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "From Pokémon fossils, we can study the conditions of the Pokémon and their environment at that time, providing important clues for humans to understand the history and ecological changes of Pokémon and Secret Locations."
"For example, if we could clearly understand the Ancestor Big Bird, the ancestor of bird Pokémon, then we would have a deeper understanding of all bird Pokémon..."
"However, up to now, this clue has been too vague for humans, too difficult to grasp."
As Fang Yuan's words ended, many nodded in silence. Indeed, although there were studies on fossils, there were very few research outcomes, and most fossils were merely stored in museums.
"Through the study of fossils, we can gain a deeper understanding of the living environment, lifestyle, and the rules and mechanisms of evolution of ancient Pokémon. It allows us to explore the origins of Pokémon, their evolution, and the essence of the world. I believe such important research should not stop."
Not only the audience on site but also those watching the London World Expo on camera after screen, began to ponder Fang Yuan's words thoroughly.
"Could he possibly solve the research progress problem in the field of fossils?"
In England, at a Fossil Research Institute, an old man and a young man were watching the live broadcast on TV. The young man smiled as he watched Fang Yuan on the screen, incredulous!
His grandfather had worked in the field of fossils for so many years without any results, and now, it was going to be a young man younger than him, someone not even twenty, who would conquer the academic challenge? That seemed impossible...
Yet, while he could hardly believe it, the young man also felt some anticipation. After all, this was the field they loved, and if there was a new path for research, naturally, it would be better.
"Do you actually have a way?"
In the crowd, a researcher voiced the doubts they all had.
If Fang Yuan nodded...
The aged Dr. Lucci also slightly widened his deep-set eyes, watching Fang Yuan attentively.
Fang Yuan did not answer immediately. Following that, a large, silver-colored machine... was slowly brought up by a few staff members.
Seeing this machine, many became puzzled again... This...was this the new research facility for fossils?
Fang Yuan... had he really developed something like this?
"Next, please join me in witnessing another miracle," Fang Yuan invited.
Standing before the device, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Fang Yuan slowly spoke. The last time, the miracle was the simultaneous evolution of six Ugly Fish, and this time... it would be the revival of a fossil!
