Chapter 189: Weather Institute’s Castforms

In order to find the cause of the strange weather in Hoenn, the meteorite was temporarily handed over to the researchers at the Weather Institute for further study.

To this end, Professor Lucci and several researchers quickly formed a temporary research team, mainly responsible for a series of matters related to the meteorite.

Terrance, why not stay at the Weather Institute for a while? Steven will also assist in the research on the meteorite, Professor Lucci and Terrance discussed after quickly contacting some researchers to explain the situation with the meteorite.

Well Terrance hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, I plan to collect Ribbons this year and participate in the Grand Festival.

Pokmon Contest? Steven turned his head, isnt that the competition Wallace often participates in?

Pokmon Contest, huh! Professor Lucci pondered, I remember that competition is held quite frequently, right?

Terrance nodded, Yes, but I want to collect them as early as possible so that I can have peace of mind.

When is the nearest Pokmon Contest here? Professor Lucci asked.

Umthe Pokmon Contest in Rustboro City just finished, next should be the Lavaridge Conference in half a month and the Lilycove Conference in a month, Terrance replied.

Then just stay for a month! Let us also extend our hospitality, and besides, we would also like to thank you for your help with the meteorite, Professor Lucci said, with Steven chiming in to persuade him to stay.

Just as Terrance was finding it hard to turn down their offer, Professor Lucci spoke again, I noticed since you came in, your eyes have been on Castform. Are you interested in them?

Interested I might as well say I have a Castform too, Terrance said, I wonder what Castform does at the Weather Institute?

I see! Steven said youre also a Breeder. Look, it will be worth your while to stay here for a while. I believe observing the Castform here will definitely help you with training your own Castform, Professor Lucci said.

Terrance paused, pondering for a moment. Indeed, that seemed to be the case. The Weather Institutewasnt it all about studying weather?

To train Castform well, he would have to work on Hail, Sunny Day, Rain Dance, and even Sandstorm. This place should be able to help him to some extent.

Then Ill trouble you for a while, After some thinking, Terrance decided to stay for a while, hoping for some gains.

Alright, let me prepare rooms for you and Steven, Professor Lucci said.

One of Terrances purposes for staying was to observe the Castforms at the Weather Institute.

He found that the Castforms here were not particularly different.

Only one caught Terrances interest slightly.

While watching the researchers conduct weather experiments, only this Castforms speed in changing the weather exceeded the average.

Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Hail, all took about 7 seconds to stabilize the abnormal weather.

In contrast, the others took about 10 seconds.

This Castform has been here the longest, the previous ones were all sent to other weather stations as assistant Pokmon, a researcher explained to Terrance.

Terrances Castform, except for Rain Dance, took around 10 seconds for both Hail and Sunny Day, with Hail less than 10 and Sunny Day more than 10.

Mr. Bart, may I askI noticed that although Castforms change the weather at similar speed, the transformation of their forms is very fast. Why is that? Terrance inquired.

After observing for a while, Terrance unexpectedly discovered that each Castform here transformed into its forms frighteningly quickly, almost without any interval.

Although the speed of completely changing the weather was not fast, the speed of form transformation amazed Terrance.

Some Castforms could even change their forms before the weather completely changed.

Well Bart said, Do you know what Castforms body nature is closest to?

Water molecules, Terrance replied.

Thats right, its water molecules, and the external factors that affect their body shape are not any special energy, but temperature and humidity.

Now do you understand?

You mean because they often come into contact with constantly changing weather, it has trained their ability to sense temperature and humidity quickly? Terrance said.

Smart! But not only that, we at the Weather Institute also have a laboratory that can simulate climates. Every Castform that comes here will undergo some training there.

Bart introduced, Interested? Why not let your Castform experience it too?

Looking down at the Castform peeking out of Terrances backpack, the researcher Bart said.

Is that possible? Terrance asked. If Castform could really achieve the speed of form transformation of these Castforms at the Weather Institute, then it could save 1 to 2 seconds or even more time in battles.

Of course, youre willing to provide the meteorite for our research. If we hide even a small laboratory, wouldnt that be too stingy of us? Bart chuckled.

This laboratory is a facility that simulates local climate changes. Bart took Terrance and Castform here.

After Castform went in alone, Bart and Terrance resumed their conversation.

The energy source for this laboratory is electricity, but in such a small-scale enclosed space, changing the climate is still possible

By calculation, if we want to change the climate of an entire island with electricity, we simply cannot provide the energy needed. Bart sighed.

So this failed laboratory is now left for Castforms to train in. Currentlywe are researching Castforms ability to change the weather.

I hope to get some inspiration and make progress here.

Terrance was silent as he sighed inwardly, realizing that he couldnt help much with this matter. Every researcher here had more expertise in weather than he did.

Here, this is the main control switch for the laboratory.

If youre interested, you can bring Castform here to experience the weather, Bart said.

This laboratory, which can change the weather through electricity, is really convenient. The constantly changing climate inside made Castform enjoy playing inside.

Pay close attention to the experience when changing forms, Terrance advised.

This was a rare opportunity. After leaving the Weather Institute, there wouldnt be many places for Castform to experience different weather.

Although its different from the real weather created by Pokmon, its advantage is that it is stable and fast, Terrance thought to himself.

And so, while learning some weather-related knowledge from researcher Bart, Terrances curiosity was piqued by some things at the Weather Institute, which even proved to be quite helpful for Castform in some aspects.
