Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 293 Paradox

"I'm sorry, these are two research interns I've taken on. Please excuse their poor appearance."

As Satake spoke, he beckoned the two of them over:
"Go and print out several hundred copies of these materials and distribute them to the guests."

Ayi and Axin accepted the job and immediately fled as if they were escaping.

"So young, and already mentoring researchers, truly promising."

Natsume marveled.

"Don't you have two too, and it seems like you're about to become a Pokémon Professor?"

Satake glanced at Natsume speechlessly.

"Have you conducted experiments to see if modern Pokémon skeletons can influence each other under the influence of the Key Stone?"

Natsume suddenly asked.

Many researchers around paused, looking over in surprise.

“No, theoretically, fossils are also considered bones.” Satake shook his head and continued:
"We've tried many times, but the Evolution Key Stone can only allow fossils to influence each other, so that the resurrected fossil Pokémon carry some of the other's characteristics."

Satake waved his hand.

If he could influence the skeletons of modern Pokémon, thus allowing the resurrected Pokémon to acquire the characteristics of the other, then what kind of manager would he be!

He has long been known as the "father of the new battle system".

"Ok."

Natsume nodded in disappointment.

He was also wondering if he could make use of the skull of Mugentsuna at the foot of Mount Tsukishima.

"Would placing fossils and modern Pokémon skeletons together, under the influence of the Mega Key Stone, produce a similar effect?"

Jiaozi offered a middle-ground guess.

"this."

Satake frowned slightly.

"Well, we've tried it too."

“But it’s strange.” Satake paused and said:
"The skeletons of modern Pokémon cannot affect fossils, but fossils can affect modern Pokémon."

"But strangely, the modern Pokémon we resurrected don't seem to have changed much."

"For example, this Jigglypuff."

Satake pulled a red and white ball from his waist.

"Sizzle~" A red light flashed, and a chubby creature appeared.

"Poli?"

Jigglypuff curiously observed Natsume and the others.

"We've tried it, and the most effective one is the fossil helmet fossil, probably because it's the oldest one?"

"And this chubby dog ​​comes from my master's wife, the chubby dog ​​that died of natural causes was brought back to life."

Satake gave a brief introduction.

"We placed the Kabuto fossil and the Jigglypuff's left finger bone for two cycles under the influence of the Mega Keystone."

As he spoke, Satake's expression became slightly strange:
"The reaction of the Mega Evolution Key Stone is the same as the previous successful experiments, but strangely, the resurrected Jigglypuff seems to have changed little."

"Polii~"

Jigglypuff happily jumped onto Satake's lap.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Fatty lowered his head in embarrassment.

"It seems so. This is just a regular Jigglypuff, and it doesn't have any features similar to the fossil helmet." Jiaozi said thoughtfully.

"However, this pudding is so young, yet its fur is so thick and long. It's clear that Mr. Satake has taken great care of it."

Xiao Gang praised.

"That's strange, Natsume, why aren't you saying anything?"

Satake noticed that Natsume, who was usually the most talkative, had suddenly fallen silent.

Natsume stared intently at the hairy, chubby creature, remaining silent.

On his system panel, a line of small text was prominently displayed.

[Roaring Tail, LV3]

You little brat.
Natsume looked up at Satake.

"what happened?"

Satake found it strange and wrapped his fingers around the little tuft of hair on Jigglypuff's head.

"Have you done a genetic comparison on it?"

Natsume said strangely.

"I'm quite busy, not yet." Satake shook his head, his two huge dark circles under his eyes were very convincing.

“Okay, maybe not. You’ll see when you’re a little older.” Natsume nodded to himself.

"What did you see?" Satake asked curiously.

As he spoke, he handed Satake a business card.

"It's nothing. I'd like to invite you to my academy to give a lecture on Ancient Pokémon in the future."

Satake found it strange, but Natsume was indeed a strange person, so it was quite normal.

He carefully put the business card away, picked up Fatty, and stood up, saying:
"I need to arrange the commentary for tonight, please excuse me."

"Do you have any other research materials? Let me see them all."

Natsume called out to Satake.

He is now incredibly curious about these Pokémon that might have appeared in the past but never did.

"Just open that folder."

After saying that, Satake turned and left.

Natsume sat at his workstation and began reading with great interest.

Behind him, Xiao Gang approached, but Xia Mu smacked a bunch of business cards at him.

"Prodigy Assistant, Mentor Xiao Gang, the future of the academy is in your hands!"

Natsume pointed to the surveillance camera next to him, which showed the lobby screen, densely packed with researchers.

"Yes, Mr. Natsume!"

Jiaozi walked out without hesitation.

Xiaogang: "."

When did he become a teacher?

Oh well, anyway, without Satake's explanation, he wouldn't understand much of what's on it.

Natsume's reading speed was quite fast, so he only gained a superficial understanding.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Gang also took a large stack of business cards and went to the lobby on the first floor.

At his workstation, Natsume's eyes flashed with a deep blue light. With the aid of his telekinetic powers, he had almost completely imprinted all the information into his mind.

According to Satake's research, almost all other fossil Pokémon that were resurrected by "teaming up" with Kabuto did not change much in appearance.

The only change was that the blood turned the same blue as the fossil helmet, and the regenerative ability increased many times over.

Considering that Kabuto is also the most stable fossil in terms of Pokémon skeletons, Kabuto might be considered the fruit fly of genetics in this research direction.

"I wonder if, when the fossil helmet fossil is placed alongside human bones and under the influence of the Mega Keystone, the resurrected humans will possess formidable regenerative abilities."

As he pondered this, Natsume suddenly shook his head.

This seems a bit unethical.

However, if Ho-Oh really can't be found, perhaps Hoopa's sister could try to revive her in this way.

Although being resurrected requires starting from an embryonic stage, and there are no memories of it.

Natsume flicked the gold ring on his left hand, but the ring remained unmoved, just like any ordinary decoration that could be found at a street stall.

"My strength seems to have increased."

Mewtwo’s voice suddenly rang in Natsume’s mind.

"Your level has increased?"

Natsume was puzzled.

"No, it's that the authority of genes has expanded."

Mewtwo looked strange.

It seems that with Satake's research, the variety of Pokémon in this world has increased.

The higher the genetic diversity index, the stronger the divine power within it.

"Then I misjudged you before. You are more suited to research on genetics or fossil evolution."

Natsume nestled in his seat and spoke lazily.

"No, I still want to explore the relationship between Pokémon and nature, and between Pokémon and humans."

Mewtwo shook its head in denial.

"Then I wasn't wrong. If you like venturing into the wild, then you'll evolve from fossils."

As Natsume was speaking, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Something's wrong, Manager Satake!"

It was Ayi and Axin, both of them rushing around, out of breath.
