235 Chapter 24 Departure (1/2)
Next day,
Inside the Oak Laboratory,
Alex was following behind Samuel as they passed through the many scientific devices which he used for his research purposes.
There were many assistants of his working of them or went through the readings on the computer and did the project assigned to them by the Professor.
These people who served as the assistant here were some of the smartest people in the Pokemon world. If they decide to leave the Laboratory and their apprenticeship come to an end under Professor Oak, the Pokemon league would immediately entitle them with a professor title and a possible doctorate too, if they have their project completed and the thesis has been confirmed.
Professor Oak led Alex towards the interior part of the laboratory. In the innermost parts were the places where Professor Oak did solo research work.
After arriving in his special zone, he called out,” Porygon, open the folders regarding the Alpha ruins which the league sent me a few days ago. Also, project the image in front of us.”
On hearing the command, the Z shaped artificial Pokemon does as he is asked and the image of a medium scale island appeared on the air. It was the aerial shot of the island.
The most characteristic part of this island was the volcano which seemed active if the black gas appeared from the volcano's opening.
While Alex was busy looking at the holographic image of the medium-sized volcanic island.
As for how big a medium sized island is, they range from 60 km² to 300 km².

From the preliminary view, Alex noticed that the island has dense forest covering on the peripheral areas would an occasional opening and two Rivers passing through the island. One was in the east of the volcano and another on the west.
The area around the volcano seemed pretty barren, except for some shrubs and bushes on the areas around it. There are some buildings in the forest area whose top are visible through the hologram.
” What is this, Prof Oak?” Alex asked the pokemon Professor.
Samuel took some papers out of his drawer. He gazes on the papers and speaks out,” This island is called Fire Paradise. This island has a total area of 186 km². Every few decades, the volcano of this island erupts turning at least ⅛ of the island barren and covers it in hot magma.
The mysterious thing is that after every decade the area of effect shifts towards the clockwise direction. And, it is also rumoured that there, Groudon resides there. And he is sleeping at the bottom of the volcano affecting the changes happening in that island every few decades .
Because of this belief the people who resided on that island built many shrines dedicated to the god of lava who decides the fate of the island. You are following me, Alex ” Samuel looked at his young protege.
” Yes professor. But what is my task there?”
” Patience, Alex. As I was saying, because of the unique nature of volcanic eruption, the ecosystem of island is pretty unique. As for how unique, you will know when you visit it.
As for the task, you are going to follow some people of the archaeology survey to check the ruins built in the past and what information they hold regarding the continent creator, Groudon.
This will be good for you because there are some people of your generation who have taken the task of protection on that island. So Alex do you accept it or not?” Samuel inquired Alex.
Alex was in deep thoughts of whether to accept it or not but remembered his reducing bank balance and agreed. After all he needs to stock some cash and meeting people of similar age was a good plus.
” I accept the task. But Professor what types of Pokemon do you recommend me to take with me?” He doesn't know much of the island so the advice of Prof was something which could protect his life in that place.
