Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Cinnabar Laboratory
The interior of Cinnabar Laboratory is not very large. There are three floors in total.
The first and second floors are dedicated to research and academic discussions.
The third floor is where Pokémon live in the laboratory, and there is a room dedicated to monitoring Pokémon data.
The backyard is an open space, which is also used for Pokémon activities or battles.
Gary and his friends wanted to see the Pokémon in the laboratory, so Blaine naturally took them to the third floor for a tour.
"Professor Blaine, has Cinnabar Laboratory come into contact with fossil revival technology now?" Gary asked.
"I didn't expect you to know this. Fossil revival technology has been under development. It has been developed, but it has not been announced yet. Some other laboratories have also developed it," Blaine said.
"What is fossil revival technology?" Ash asked in surprise.
"It is the process of restoring fossils into Pokémon through modern technology," Gary explained simply.
"Can this be done?" Misty said in shock.
"Of course it can be done. Rock also has life, and ancient fossils can definitely be restored. The laboratory in my museum has been studying this," Brock said.
"Can fossils really be revived?" Ash was also a little skeptical. Reviving fossils sounds too sci-fi.
"Of course, if you have ancient Pokémon fossils in the future, you can come to me, and I can help you revive them for free," Blaine said.
"Really?" Brock was shocked.
"Yeah, what? Do you have fossils?" Blaine asked in confusion.
"To be honest, I used to be the owner of the Pewter Gym, and I have a lot of fossils in my home," Brock said.
Although Brock in the animation is often portrayed as flirtatious, he is also a stone collector.
Before his parents left home, Brock would go to the Pewter Museum to help when he had nothing to do.
After he had Pokémon, he often went to Mt. Moon to look for stones.
Moreover, his father and grandfather were also fossil collectors, and there were many fossils stored in the gym.
"Pewter Gym, it has been open for decades. If you have fossils, you can come to me," Blaine said.
Although it's free help, Blaine actually wants experimental data. After all, fossil revival technology is still not perfect.
Even if it has been developed, it has not been announced to the public.
At present, there are many companies that have mastered fossil revival technology.
Gary knows that there are Cinnabar Laboratory, Silph Co., Devon Group, and villain organizations such as Team Rocket and Team Plasma also have this technology.
"Thank you very much." Brock was very happy and planned to bring the fossils here to revive after the journey.
Ash and Misty were very envious. That was an ancient Pokémon, a very rare Pokémon.
"Let me show you the latest research of our Laboratory."
Blaine led everyone to a room full of Eevee, with a total of 3 Eevee.
"Eevee!"
"Is there anything wrong with these Eevee?"
"They all look normal."
Ash and the others didn't see any problems with the Eevee. They were all very healthy Eevee.
And Gary saw the extraordinariness of these Eevee through his keen observation.

[LV30 Eevee/Champion]
[LV30 Eevee/Champion]
[LV33 Eevee/Quasi-Legend]
```
Gary was shocked. He didn't expect these three Eevees to have such high potential. One of them was even a Quasi-Legendary Eevee. It was so impressive.
"Professor Blaine, these three Eevees should have high potential," Gary said.
"As expected of Professor Oak's grandson, you can see the key at a glance," Blaine praised.
"These three Eevees not only have high potential, but their base stats are also stronger than other Eevees of the same type."
Misty and Brock's mouths were in an O shape.
Only Gary and Ash looked calm. Gary was genuinely calm, while Ash was calm inexplicably.
"What are base stats?" Ash asked.
When Ash said this, Blaine was momentarily silenced.
"Sorry, Ash doesn't know much about the basics of Pokémon," Gary quickly explained.
"Base stats represent the inherent abilities of a Pokémon, such as physical strength, attack, defense, and speed. These stats are basically innate."
"In most cases, the base stats of Pokémon of the same type are not much different, but some individual Pokémon have higher base stats than others of the same type, which is considered an individual difference. This kind of high base stat Pokémon rarely reproduces."
"I see. I understand," Ash nodded and said. "So these Eevee's base stats are higher than the normal base stats."
"That's right," Gary confirmed.
According to the game classification, the base stats of Pokémon are fixed, but it is different in the animation.
Some Pokémon individuals mutate, and their base stats are higher than their own.
"Ash, your Pikachu's base stats should be higher than the normal Pikachu," Gary said.
"Really?" Ash and Pikachu were very surprised. They didn't expect Pikachu's base stats to be higher than that of ordinary Pikachu.
"We can tell whether it is higher or not by a simple test. We have the basic data of Pikachu here. Why don't we give it a try?" Blaine suggested.
"Okay, then Pikachu, let's test it," Ash was very interested.
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu didn't mind the test.
"Then come in with me."
Blaine led everyone into the room where the three Eevees were.
"Eevee!"
"Eevee!"
"Eevee!"
When the three Eevees saw someone coming in, they all came over curiously.
They usually stayed in the Laboratory and were very curious when they saw people coming in from outside.
"Eevee," an Eevee came up to Pikachu, as if asking who Pikachu was.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu answered Eevee's question as if introducing himself, and then Pikachu and Eevee came together to chat.
Gary took everything in, as expected of a Pokémon charmer, as soon as he entered the room, he attracted the attention of an Eevee.
"Eevee!"
Gary was watching the situation over there with Ash and heard a growl coming from below. Gary looked down and saw an Eevee at his feet.
```
[LV30 Eevee/Quasi-Legend]
```
This is an Eevee with quasi-legendary potential. Gary really wanted to take it away, but Blaine must know the value of these three Eevees and will not give them away easily.
After all, Blaine is also a Trainer. Eevee can evolve into a Fire-type Pokémon, and Blaine will most likely evolve the strongest of his main Eevee into a Fire-type Pokémon.
"Hello, Eevee," Gary squatted down and touched Eevee's furry body. Because he had bred Eevee before, Gary knew how to comb Eevee's fur most comfortably.
