Chapter 268 Torito and the Characteristic Capsule
After being single for so many years, a sane human finally invited me to ride the Ferris wheel together!
Hearing the voice inviting me to ride the Ferris wheel together, Zhou You subconsciously looked at the green-haired figure not far away:
White uniform, gloomy temperament, messy green hair and pigtails tied casually, and a young face.
Why is it a man?
Zhou You took back the "sane" evaluation in his previous sentence.
"Really? Thank you, big brother with pigtails!"
Eden didn't think about it, thanked him and jumped into the cabin directly, and then Leafeon also walked in slowly.
"Thank you." Zhou You smiled and nodded.
In addition to weirdos, there are also kind and enthusiastic people in Unova.
Zhou You and the green-haired young man entered the cabin one after another.
The Ferris wheel rose slowly.
The elves leaned against the window with flashing eyes to observe the scenery outside.
The boy and the young man sat opposite each other, looking at each other awkwardly in silence.
Weird, too weird, Zhou You began to regret accepting the other party's invitation.
Is the characteristic of the Unova region to ride the Ferris wheel with a green-haired big brother?
The last time I rode the Ferris wheel with a man was in the game Black and White and Black and White 2 with N, but N was very handsome, and Zhou You also chose Dou Zi and Ming Yi, so it didn't matter.
But this time it was really... hard to describe.
Noticing that Zhou You's eyes were a little evasive, the green-haired young man's face gradually became hot, his hands tightly grasped his pants, lowered his head and dared not look at the other party, and his brain began to swell in waves.
The young man's name is Torito, a scientific research worker who has just come to Fenglai City. As Zhou You saw, he is timid and socially anxious, and he can't communicate normally with humans in a dense space.
However, Torito is also very friendly and helpful, and he is even more enthusiastic about elves, so he will be brave enough to invite the boy with Zoroya to go with him.
But now he began to regret it. If he had known earlier, he should have given the opportunity to the other party and left directly.

Seemingly noticing that the two were in a bad mood, Leafeon released a refreshing fragrance that relieved people's stress.
"Your Leafeon... is really well-cultivated..." Torito said intermittently in his heart.
Reshiram: "?"
What's the point of saying this in your heart?
After a while, Zhou You gradually calmed down and noticed that he seemed a little rude.
"Hello, I'm Zhou You, you can also call me Qiao Qiao." After a brief self-introduction, he expressed his gratitude seriously: "Thank you for inviting me in just now. Eden and Leafeon both want to have a panoramic view of the entire area in the sky. If you miss today's opportunity, you have to wait until tomorrow."
Then tomorrow, you may have to rush back to Kanto to find Mewtwo to ask about the experimental subjects, which will cause you to miss the opportunity to ride the Ferris wheel. That would be quite a pity.
"Well... I am, Torito, you're welcome... Your Leafeon... is well-cultivated." Torito still lowered his head. Even if the person opposite was just a 10-year-old child, he had no way to communicate with him.
Torito, who devoted all his passion to the research of elves, basically had little experience in dealing with humans.
The titles of genius and weirdo were given to him by others, and those pointing eyes made him feel inferior. Every look and every whisper made Torito worry in his heart whether others were talking about him and hating him.
Then he fell into a vicious cycle of inferiority, self-doubt and self-denial...
This person is quite heavyweight even among social phobia.
Through the exchange of the previous sentence, Zhou You noticed the other party's social phobia, so he simply looked out the window and stopped paying attention to Torito.
But the other party's self-introduction just now always lingered in his mind. Has the name Torito been heard somewhere?
Torito... social phobia.
It's the social phobia researcher with a Jigglypuff in the movie!
The dead memory suddenly began to attack Zhou You!
In the movie, Torito is a researcher at a research institute in Fenglai City. He discovered that there are ingredients in the spores of elves to treat diseases. Together with his companions, he developed a technology to purify the ingredients of elves' characteristics and created a potion that can make the whole city fall into the spore state.
The prevention measures of the institute were quite poor. Team Rocket stole the spore potion and accidentally left it behind, causing most of the city to inhale the spores and shut down. It also caused the failure of the substation equipment and the fire spread to the whole mountain.
I really don't understand whether Torito developed a potion or a weapon!
At the end of the movie, he confided in other people in the institute and learned that others had actually been appreciating his talent and love for elves, but his cowardice caused misunderstandings.
So Torito worked together with everyone and made an emergency potion to cure the abnormal state of the whole city with a cart of wood fruit.

Zhou You was thoughtful.
Although it is difficult for one person to accomplish scientific research alone, and the research of Torito's team cannot be separated from the efforts of others, Torito's talent is still obvious to all. He is indeed a rare talent.
Turn back.
Moreover, his love for elves is the driving force of his research. Social phobia and cowardice cannot cover up his kindness, otherwise how could an elf like Jigglypuff follow him.
Turn back.
The most important thing is that Torito is still very young. He should have just arrived in Fenglai City not long ago, right?
Turn back! Turn back!
The voice in his heart became stronger and stronger, and Zhou You suddenly understood why Yashida was so keen on inviting talented trainers to the battle frontier!
Reshiram: "..."
"You look like a scholar, do you like Pokémon too?"
Zhou You smiled and placed Leafeon next to Torito's seat. The latter made a dissatisfied sound and continued to focus on the scenery outside the window.
"Yes, I like Pokémon very much." Torito looked down at the Leafeon's tail that fell on his legs, and his breathing tightened for no reason, "But I can't be called a scholar, I'm just a... useless newcomer..."
Zhou You completely ignored Torito's inferiority speech, and just persuaded: "If you like it, touch it. My Leafeon also likes others to comb its hair."
To be precise, Leafeon likes the kindness released by humans to herself and is quite sensitive to it, otherwise she will not let people with bad intentions touch her because she is timid.
Hearing this, Torito caressed Leafeon as if he had been pardoned, and relaxed a lot in the fragrance that healed his soul.
"You like elves so much, so your research must be related to them." Zhou You then curiously asked about the other party's research progress.
"Yes, my research direction is the "characteristics" of elves."
In a relaxed state, it was his favorite topic related to elves.
As a socially phobic Torito, he naturally talked about his insights and research on the characteristics of elves, as well as the goal that only existed in his imagination - the characteristic capsule.
