A few days later, the base had been largely repaired.
Shadow Members were also dispatched by Giovanni to temporarily take over the positions of those Squadron Leader and squad leaders.
However, Giovanni also gave them an extra instruction: they should first follow the organization's rules and hand over the spoils of war.
He would change the rules later.
After dealing with the matters at the Viridian Base, Giovanni also communicated with Matt.
"Are you going to publish it?"
Matt's voice came from the phone in front of Giovanni.
Giovanni replied, "Yes, we are preparing to publish the results. It's time for the Evolution Stone to come out. Currently, the organization's funds are not enough to acquire other mountain ranges."
"However, after the Evolution Stone comes out, the opening of the Evolution Stone store will bring in a lot of funds, and then we can continue to buy mines."
Giovanni's eyes narrowed. Not only the Evolution Stone, but also the Mega Stones?!
If the Kanto region doesn't produce these, when Kanto and Hoenn regions connect, that will be a new business opportunity.
Matt asked about the issue he was concerned about. "Good, are you going to get Alliance certification this time?"
Last time, the Yanmega research did not cause much of a stir because it wasn't certified, and the Pokémon was relatively niche, with very strict evolution conditions.
But this time, the Evolution Stone is different; it directly evolves Pokémon without error, and the evolution conditions are very easy.
Coupled with the large number of Pokémon that can evolve, this means that this research will cause a stir in the Pokémon World.
Giovanni remained very steady. "No hurry, this is just the usage of the Moon Stone. There are also Fire Stone, Water Stone, Thunder Stone, and so on."
Because he acquired many mines, Giovanni now basically has every type of Evolution Stone in his hands.
This also means that he has almost completed the research of all Evolution Stones in the past year.
They are just hidden in his hands and have not been published yet.
Matt said to Giovanni, "Then let Professor Oak help you publish it again? At least he won't monopolize your results."
"Of course, who made our Champion so warm-hearted?" Giovanni smiled slightly, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.
Matt, who was still on the island, clapped his hands excitedly.
"Then let's begin, I can't wait."
Giovanni was also amused by Matt. "What are you so anxious about? Has anyone passed the Shadow Member trial recently? After a while, I will send more new recruits over."
Matt replied with a bit of a headache, "My Boss Giovanni, please don't give me more work. I just want to rest."
Giovanni wouldn't listen to his nonsense. After the base was established, he was very idle.
As for the head of Shadow Member, only Matt is suitable now.
As for Ashin, although he will be the future Viper instructor, for now, he can only lead a new recruit training camp. The Shadow Member's standard is still a bit too high for him.
However, Hanzo and the others, after a few more years, could try it, as they came from Shadow Member and are most familiar with it.
Giovanni spoke impolitely:
"I won't talk to you so much. When I return from my journey, I want to see a hundred new Shadow Members. Of course, the more the better."
Matt was helpless and could only reply:
"Alright, it seems I won't be able to rest until I can't work anymore. I want credit for all the research projects."
Giovanni was quite helpless about this point with Matt. He was clearly a bad guy, yet so enthusiastic about research.
"Don't worry, you won't be left out of this."
Thus, Matt did not continue to complain to Giovanni.
After hanging up the phone with Matt, Giovanni logged onto the online forum using a transferred computer.
Then, with a few clicks, he uploaded all the information about the Moon Stone's effects and experimental videos of several Pokémon.
Of course, Giovanni's face was either pixelated or he was facing away from the camera.
He still had to travel and couldn't be that conspicuous yet.
As for Researchers being able to remove pixelation, Giovanni didn't care. If they knew, they knew, as long as it wasn't spread in the public eye.
"Evolution Stone – What is Evolution Stone, basic introduction to Evolution Stone and its contained energy."
"Moon Stone – The uses and methods of the Moon Stone, and the special evolution of corresponding Pokémon."
When Giovanni's article was published on the forum, which had only a few articles recently, it immediately caused a huge uproar!
Blaine, on Cinnabar Island, widened his eyes when he saw the title, "Evolution Stone! Can help specific Pokémon evolve!!!"
He tremblingly clicked on the article, read it carefully, and then opened the attached video.
"I call this Pokémon Nidoking, the Pokémon evolved from Nidorina I call Nidoqueen… Clefable… Wigglytuff."
"The next Evolution Stone article will be published in a month."
When Blaine heard Giovanni's voice and saw Nidorino, Nidorina, Clefairy, and Jigglypuff evolve again, his eyes widened.
"It's true! It really evolved!"
Especially when Giovanni said that he would gradually release other elemental Evolution Stones and corresponding Pokémon later, the eagerness in Blaine's eyes was incredibly intense.
He eagerly left a comment below, "Begging for Fire-type Pokémon! If it's fire, will it be called Fire Stone?"
"Pfft!" Dr. Westwood, the Doctor, spat out the tea in his mouth when he saw this article.
Then he hurriedly wiped the tea clean and carefully examined Giovanni's article and documents.
Then he patted his slightly balding head, "Evolution Stone! This is simply a milestone in the Pokémon World!"
Although it couldn't catch up to Dr. Westwood I's Poké Ball research, it surpassed the research of all current Researchers.
In the eyes of Trainers who owned Nidorino, Nidorina, Clefairy, and Jigglypuff, he was the one true god.
Giovanni also knew that the value of Nidoran♂, Nidoran♀, and Jigglypuff would increase.
So he had already had Madame Boss acquire a large number of Pokémon, and Team Rocket also captured a bunch, which could also be bundled for sale.
Giovanni had clearly mastered this business.
Dr. Westwood commented below: "Please update faster!"
He seemed to have forgotten that it had only been a year, and Giovanni had thrown out another bombshell.
Actually, if there was a group of people most affected by the Evolution Stone research, there truly was.
The Officer Jenny Family, who each owned a Growlithe!
In addition, all the Researchers who also saw this article and video were boiling with excitement.
"This is simply a milestone!"
"Evolution Stone, I'm going to look for it!"
"Don't bother looking, didn't you see? He has already prepared everything and completed the research; he just hasn't released it yet. No matter what we do, it's all in vain."
"Who are this 'cat-loving Researcher' and 'great research enthusiast'?"
"I don't know, they look too young."
