Egg Hatching Enthusiasts: "Tomorrow Professor Rope will have an open class at Celadon University!"
Pokémon Live Map: "???"
Light of Mega Evolution: "???"
Royal Masked Man: "???"
Little Sonia Who Hasn't Become a Professor Yet: "???"
Dream Chaser: "???"
Burnet: "Really? Is there any definite news? Shouldn't something like an open class be announced in advance?"
Egg Hatching Enthusiasts: "Heard it with my own ears, seen it with my own eyes."
Origin: "I can testify that Rope is giving a lecture tomorrow, but it doesn't seem to be an open class."
Origin: "@Dream Chaser, Fennel are you going?"
Dream Chaser: "Are you going Juniper?"
Origin: "I just met him two days ago. Not going to fly another trip to Kanto."
Dream Chaser: "I'll take Amanita with me then. It really has been a long time."
Royal Masked Man: "Burnet and I are planning on going to hear it as well, it's not too late to get tickets."
Little Sonia Who Hasn't Become a Professor Yet: "Wuwuwu~ I'd love to go, but Leon has a showcase tomorrow too..."
Pokémon Live Map: "Leon's showcase happens every month, right?... Rope's a little slacker's open class... if I miss it this time, I don't know when the next one will be."
Light of Mega Evolution: "I'd like to make the trip as well...what would be a good meet and greet gift to bring? After all, this is my first meeting with Professor Rope. It always feels a bit impolite not to bring a meet-and-greet gift. @Origin, Juniper, what's your meet-and-greet gift to Professor Rope?"
Origin: "I gave a little beauty."
Egg Hatching Enthusiasts: "!"
Dream Chaser: "?!!!"
Royal Masked Man: "[Thumbs up]"
Burnet: "[Thumbs up]"
Pokémon Live Map: "..."
Little Sonia Who Hasn't Become a Professor Yet: "!!!"
Light of Mega Evolution: "...Is this really okay? I heard from Diantha that Professor Rope has a girlfriend. It's Sinnoh champion Cynthia."
Origin: "o(^▽^)o, misunderstood you guys, just sent an assistant plus apprentice over..."
Egg Hatching Enthusiasts: "Oh~ That apprentice by Rope's side is the one you sent over. I was wondering where this Rope guy found an apprentice."
Light of Mega Evolution:"^_^", this is even, what's Professor Rope's Pokémon? I'll put a set of Mega Stones on him to get over there."
Origin: "It's Charmeleon, if you're going to bring it bring the Charizard's Mega Evolution."
Light of Mega Evolution:"^_^||||, Charizard x or y????"
Egg Hatching Enthusiasts: "Bring x. I remember Rope was always jealous of Red's Mega Charizard X."
Light of Mega Evolution: "OK!"
Burnet: "Then Kukui and I will just bring our fire Z-crystals and bracelets over there."
Little Sonia Who Hasn't Become a Professor Yet: "I'll bring Dynamax Band over there as well... although Dynamax Band shouldn't be used in Kanto..."
Pokémon Live Map: "I won't need it, I gave it away when we met before. That said, should I bring Sapphire and Ruby along? I think it's necessary for the kids to get acquainted instead."
Egg Hatching Enthusiasts: "(`ω), Professor Birch, you're taking the kids for a meet and greet! Great idea!"
Pokémon Live Map: "Elm! You're slandering! Is that what I am! The main thing is that I want Rope to get to know his juniors, the meet-and-greet and all that is not the point! [Doge]"
Light of Mega Evolution: "( )??"
Royal Masked Man: "( )??"
Little Sonia Who Hasn't Become a Professor Yet: "( )??"
Dream Chaser: "( )??"
Burnet: "( )??"
Origin: "@Egg Hatching Enthusiasts Elm, why don't you find a chance to pull Rope into the group tomorrow. I forgot to pull him last time I went."
Egg Hatching Enthusiasts: "Alright."

Sycamore Institute, Kalos Region
Professor Sycamore took his cell phone back into his pocket and then spoke to the assistant beside him, "Book me a ticket to Kanto Celadon City tomorrow morning."
The assistant nodded and didn't ask why, then backed off and went to book the ticket.
Professor Sycamore glanced at the set of Mega Charizard x's Mega Stone that was sitting on the test bench and nodded, "I hope Professor Rope is pleased with this gift. After all, if I'm hard up for it, I don't have much else to show for it."

Kukui Institute, Alola Region
Kukui is eating at the table with Burnet both of them.
Burnet spoke up, "What did you think of Professor Rope's talk the last time you were there?"
Kukui said without thinking, "Breathtaking, such a young child has already come to such a significant conclusion, really a teenage genius!"
On Professor Kukui's face was an appreciation, or rather admiration, that was hard to hide. It was really hard to imagine that a young man in his early twenties would be able to be on par with them as a professor, or even close to Professor Oak's position in the discipline.
Burnet took a bite of his sandwich then said, "I heard someone say that he might take over Professor Oak's position?"
Professor Kukui nodded with a slightly serious face, "As long as we come up with two more papers of sufficient weight, we can basically be sure that he is the successor. He reached our position with just one paper. If two more papers of about the same weight come out, then we can go up against the old folks like Professor Oak, Professor Rowan."
Burnet let out a "tsk", "Quite the teenage genius!"
Then she looked at her own husband and said, "Don't worry, although you may be weaker than him in terms of research, your trainer strength is definitely stronger than him!"
Hearing his wife talk about this, Kukui was instantly energized, "That's for sure! Your husband isn't weaker than any regional champion!"
Professor Kukui is indeed the most capable fighter among all the professors nowadays. Don't look at Professor Oak when he was young, he was also a powerful man. But now that Professor Oak is old, an old man's reflexes are not as good as they used to be. The current Professor Oak is not weak, but it can only be described as not weak.

Kanto Celadon City
Rope, who is still polishing his lesson plans, doesn't realize what a hole the current Professor Elm has dug for him.
Right now, he's still working with Whitley on the flow of tomorrow's class. Then very helplessly, he went to see Professor Oak for advice.
After a conversation, Professor Oak smiled and said, "Go for it, Rope, I'll bring Blue, and Daisy along to see your speech tomorrow!"
Rope smiled and said, "Senior Elm said he's coming too."
The corner of Professor Oak's mouth twitched for a moment and then said, "Then I guess tomorrow's battle should not be small."
Saying that, as if he suddenly remembered something, he then said, "Alright, I'm helping you contact some people. For your first open class, make it bigger!"
Saying that, Professor Oak hung up the phone.
Rope scratched his head in confusion...
"What I'm going to talk about... isn't it an open class?"
