Strangely enough, I haven’t had the opportunity to work with many of them, if you’ll believe that! The truth is that many of the regional professors (if we limit it to just that) specialize in entirely different fields than my own, and thus, we don’t really have any reason to work together on a project. Professor Oak just happened to be my mentor in college, so I was lucky in that regard.
Out of the ones I have worked with, I must say Dr. Fennel was a delight to work with on the storage system before we mutually agreed that Amanita would be a better fit for an administrative role. Professor Sycamore was also a fascinating man, and his thoughts on mega evolution and pokémon physiology in general have helped me considerably in my work towards studying pokémon behavior. (Incidentally, no, I can’t respond to any of the rumors concerning Professor Sycamore. He’s actually more professional than said rumors would have you believe, not that I had any inclination to believe otherwise, of course.)
Still, I would love to work with Professor Birch someday. He practically wrote the book on pokémon communication, and I feel like working with him would be a fantastic opportunity to learn more about how pokémon live(d), both now and in ancient times. Likewise, although I’ve met and had conversations with Professor Juniper, it would be thrilling to work with her on uncovering where pokémon came from and how new species come to be.
And then! Then of course there’s Professor Burnet. Who can resist the opportunity to discover worlds beyond our own?
Someday, perhaps.
