Maximus looked at Jacob with interest. It was not difficult to see from Lewis's reaction that Jacob had not discussed what he said with Lewis or Scott. It was his own idea.
"It's a good thing for young people to have ideas." Although Maximus said this politely, he actually didn't believe that Jacob had the ability to solve this problem.
After all, Jacob was still just a student. He didn't believe that an eighteen-year-old boy could solve a problem that even Old Scott and Lewis couldn't solve.
"Jacob, tell me what you think." Compared with Lewis's criticism, Scott encouraged Jacob to speak out his thoughts.
Jacob took a deep breath, glanced at Maximus, organized his words, and slowly spoke: "I just watched Maximus perform Z-Moves, and based on some of my previous research, I found that there are three core elements of Z-Moves: Z-Crystal, Z-Ring, and the resonance between the trainer and Pokémon."
"Oh?"
When Old Scott, Lewis, Maximus, and Nina heard Jacob's words, their faces showed different expressions. In the academic world, it is generally recognized that the key to performing Z-Moves is the Z-Crystal and Z-Ring, and it is the first time they have heard of the resonance between trainers and Pokémon being the key to performing Z-Moves.
"I think that in order to successfully perform a perfect Z-Move, these three conditions are indispensable. The Z-Ring and Z-Crystal are the hard conditions that determine whether a Z-Move can be performed. The resonance between the trainer and the Pokémon is the soft condition that determines whether the Z-Move can be used to its maximum power."
"Are you saying that the bond between me and my Kommo-o is not strong enough?" Maximus asked Jacob with a smile. He and this Kommo-o had been living together for more than ten years, and the bond between the two had reached an extremely deep level. Therefore, he was confident that this could not be the reason Jacob mentioned.
"No." Jacob shook his head and looked at Maximus: "The bond between you and Kommo-o is naturally strong enough, but when Kommo-o uses a move, you are unable to achieve unity of mind and resonance with Kommo-o."
"Unity of mind? This statement is quite interesting." Maximus said with a smile.
"Union of Minds is just a more elegant way of saying it. To put it simply, when performing a Z-Move, the trainer should have the feeling that they are also performing a Z-Move." Jacob continued, "For example, you, Dragon King, can perform the same movements as Kommo-o does when performing a Z-Move. This can effectively increase resonance. And I guess that even if the bond between the trainer and the Pokémon is not strong, or even if it is a Pokémon that has just been captured, as long as they make consistent movements and form resonance, they may be able to use a perfectly powerful Z-Move."
What Jacob said is not without reason, because this is the case in the game. Even if it is a Pokémon that has just been captured, it can perform Z-Moves if it holds a Z-Crystal.
"Let's talk about it later. Your idea is very interesting. You can try it when you have time. But now you can no longer use Z-Moves. I have already used it once. I have to wait for a while before I can use it again." In his heart, Maximus didn't really believe what Jacob said, but on the surface, he treated Jacob well for the sake of Mr. Scott's face.
When Jacob heard what Maximus said, he knew that he would definitely not believe him, but he also knew that he must not miss this opportunity. He must use Maximus's presence to make a name for himself so that he would have the qualifications to enter and exit the laboratory freely, instead of having to rely on Mr. Scott to bring him into the laboratory.
So Jacob struck while the iron was hot and immediately said, "This is actually my guess. Dragon King, you should have heard of Ryan's name. His Lucario is the strongest Pokémon I have ever seen, and it is also the Pokémon with the deepest bond with its trainer. After meeting Ryan, I actually have always had an idea that the bond and resonance between trainers and Pokémon is likely to have an impact on the strength of Pokémon."
It is actually difficult to convince Maximus with Jacob's words alone, but when Maximus heard Jacob mention Ryan, he showed a thoughtful look.
Ryan's deeds have spread all over the country, and now seven regions across the country have offered extremely generous conditions, hoping that Ryan would join them. It is said that Ryan seems to have joined a special department in China, but it is not known whether it is true or not.
"Grandpa, are there other Z-Crystals and Z-Rings in the lab?" Jacob saw that Maximus seemed to be a little intrigued, and immediately said, "I want to experiment with my idea."
"Isn't this nonsense?" Uncle Lewis directly rejected Jacob's request and severely reprimanded him: "Jacob! Doing experiments is not just about relying on wild ideas, you must have data and factual basis to support it."
"Uncle, that's why I want to try it out. The data is obtained through experiments."
"No." Lewis shook his head and refused. "If you borrow Z-Crystals to experiment just because you have an idea, the rules of the entire laboratory will be messed up. Even if you want to experiment, you have to write your conjecture into a paper, and you can only apply for the experiment after the laboratory studies and discusses whether it is feasible."
Watching his eldest son and grandson arguing, Scott stood aside without saying a word. He suddenly felt that Jacob now was very similar to his former self. He would experiment when he had an idea and verify immediately when he thought of it. He didn't care about so many rules and regulations and always put scientific research results first.
On the contrary, his eldest son Lewis lives in a circle of rules. He uses administrative management to do academic work, and it is difficult for him to achieve any substantial scientific research results.
Just like in the past few years since he handed over the laboratory to Lewis, he has not produced any significant scientific research results.
"Jacob, the laboratory has its own rules and we can't mess them up." Although Mr. Scott already had his own ideas in mind, his eldest son Lewis was the actual controller of the laboratory after all. Even if he was dissatisfied with him in his heart, he couldn't lose face in front of outsiders.
Otherwise, the next day, it might be reported that Mr. Scott was dissatisfied with Lewis and would replace the director of the laboratory. Although Mr. Scott was a scientific researcher, he had not lived in vain for decades, and he was well aware of the twists and turns involved.
Lewis was delighted when he heard what Scott said. Just when he was about to put on a stern face and lecture his nephew, he unexpectedly heard Scott's voice again.
"But if you really want to experiment, I have a Z-Crystal and Z-Ring that I can lend you." Mr. Scott was kind as he took off his Z-Ring and Z-Crystal and handed them to Jacob.
"Dad!" Lewis couldn't help but shout out. Elder Scott's preference for Jacob made him feel bitter. As the eldest of the Scott family, he had been strictly required by Elder Scott since he was a child. Others only needed to do 100 points, but he was required to do 120 points. Elder Scott's partiality at this time made him a little unbalanced, but he soon calmed down.
