Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off

Natsuno didn't even need to look; the loud, boisterous voice was clearly that of his college roommate, Ruri Tomohiko.

He couldn't help but tease, "What happened? Your dad wanted you to inherit the Liuli Breeding Group, and you bankrupted it?"

Tomohiko's voice remained anxious, ignoring Natsuno's jokes.

"Hey Natsuno, no time for jokes. I'm sending you my location, come over right now!"

Fu Yan hung up the phone immediately, and three seconds later sent a location; it was in Shenhui City.

Xia Ye didn't dare to delay and handed his phone to the driver, who quickly changed the destination after understanding the situation.

On the way forward, Xia Ye pondered for a moment, then opened the software and searched for Liuli Breeding Group.

He secretly wondered: The alliance just wiped out all the unscrupulous breeding groups, what big thing could have happened?

Even if something happens, it should be a happy occasion, right? So much market share has been freed up.

However, after the breeding silos were released, the price of eggs dropped, which may have reduced profits?

However, the search results were all positive, with no mention of any negative news.

Natsuno was even more puzzled and shook his head to exit the search page.

The car stopped on another bustling street in the dark gray city.

The building in front was grandly decorated, and flower baskets celebrating the opening were placed on both sides of the entrance.

The ground was covered with a red carpet, and there were some remnants of cannon fire, suggesting that it had just opened.

People went in empty-handed and came out carrying incubation devices.

"A breeding center affiliated with the Ruri Group? They've opened one in Dark Grey City too?"

Natsuno's mutterings were overheard by a passerby, who burst into laughter.

"Yes, young man, and the discount is even greater than other breeding farms, it's truly a rare find!"

"If you want to buy a Pokémon egg, hurry up, or I'm afraid you won't be able to buy one here!"

Xia Ye waved to thank the kind passerby, then carried the two little ones inside.

This breeding house is clearly different from the others.

Customers don't have to stand in line; they can take a number and sit in comfortable chairs while waiting for their number to be called.

Tea and snacks are also provided, so guests can wait comfortably.

The first floor was full, and people coming in later could only go up to the stairs. The introduction said that there were four floors of reception space.

Xia Ye took out his phone and called the other party.

"Xiao Yanzi, I'm here. Where are you?"

"I'm on the fifth floor, just come up. I've already told you."

Stepping upstairs, the layout of the first four floors is almost identical, all for receiving customers to purchase Pokémon eggs.

They were stopped by security personnel in the middle of the staircase leading from the fourth to the fifth floor and questioned.

Upon learning that it was Natsuno, the security personnel looked at him with gratitude and admiration as they saw him off upstairs.

On the fifth floor, a staff member led Natsuno to a room, and the door opened at that moment.

Facing me were several elderly Joeys with wrinkles on their foreheads, clearly the experienced type.

Fuhiko was seeing the old Joeys off when he saw Natsuno, and his expression turned to surprise and delight.

"Natsuno, please come in first. I'll see the senior Joey back first."

Xia Ye, who was holding the two little ones, quickly stepped aside to clear the doorway.

Upon hearing Tomohiko's words, the Joeys all looked at Natsuno: "You're Natsuno? That's amazing."

"Our medical community is organizing gene-related training programs in the hope of helping more people and Pokémon."

Xia Ye took off his sunglasses and mask, nodded respectfully, and still had a good impression of the medical staff.

Joey, who was in the lead, glanced back at the room and shook his head: "Now, you're probably the only one who can help them."

Natsuno was puzzled, but watched the Joeys go downstairs before stepping into the room.

The room was filled with various high-end medical equipment, and on the hospital bed in the middle, a pink figure was curled up.

Natsuno quickly stepped forward; it was Tomohiko's Mini Dragon, or rather, it had now evolved into a Dragonair.

At this moment, the entire pink dragon fell into a deep sleep, but its expression was one of great pain.

Xiao Cai lay by the hospital bedside, looking at her former friend with great heartache, but she didn't say a word.

Natsuno examined the medical equipment in the room and checked various records.

A few minutes later, the door opened and Tomohiko walked in.

"After returning from the Tsukimi-yama crossing from Cerulean yesterday, Pink started acting strangely."

"The dragon became listless and even stopped eating its favorite dragon macarons."

"In the middle of the night, he suddenly cried out in pain. Even after using hypnosis, I could still feel that the little guy was in great pain."

"Joey and the others couldn't find the problem, so they all suggested looking for answers in the genetics."

Natsuno frowned in thought: "Tsukimiyama? First listlessness, then extreme pain?"

How come these symptoms and experiences are so similar to those of Xiaogang's giant onyx?

With a quick "I'm going down to the car to get something, I'll be right back!" Natsuno hurriedly opened the door and left.

A few minutes later, Natsuno returned with his toolbox.

I took out the portable testing device and did a genetic test on Xiaofen.

"The activity of the target gene is abnormally elevated; intervention measures are recommended."

"Just as I thought."

Natsuno's words greatly excited Tomohiko: "Natsuno, have you found the problem? Can it be treated?"

He patted Fuyan on the shoulder, telling him to calm down.

Natsuno nodded: "There was a similar case yesterday, and the patient's treatment will be completed in two more days."

Tomohiko grabbed Natsuno's shoulder: "Great! Let's arrange treatment right away!"

Xia Ye took out an inhibitor pill from his pocket and was about to give it to Xiao Fen when he suddenly stopped.

Just to be on the safe side, he decided to scan the system again.

[Scanning in progress... Due to the influence of a special magnetic field, the target individual's genes are highly activated, indicating a precursor to abnormal evolution.]

Option 1: Enhance magnetic field irradiation to allow the target to evolve. Note: Failure to reach the corresponding evolutionary level will result in unknown risks.

[Option Two: Gene Activity Inhibitor, system price 100 million per dose, relevant formula already redeemed]

Xia Ye nodded. The system's solution was already out, so there was nothing more to say. He just took the drugs!

He continued what he was doing, taking out an inhibitor tablet and giving it to Xiaofen.

"Just wait for Xiaofen to wake up naturally. She may still be a little listless after waking up, which is normal."

"I'll come back tomorrow to check on the situation, no need to rush."

Tomohiko breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Natsuno's accurate answer.

With the matter resolved, Natsuno frowned again, initiating a brainstorming session.

Something's not right. Little Pink wasn't evolved through communication, so why is the evolutionary magnetic field affecting it?

Just then, Xia Ye's phone rang; it was Xiao Gang calling.

The background noise from the other party was extremely loud, a mix of various human voices shouting and Pokémon howls.

"Natsuno-kun, something terrible has happened! A large number of Pokémon anomalies have occurred in Mt. Tsukimi!"

"Their symptoms are exactly the same as Onix's, and many trainers' Pokémon have experienced the same thing!"

"Panther City has joined forces with Cerulean City to block the entrance to Mt. Moon, allowing everyone to leave but not enter."

"However, a large number of Pokémon have shown abnormalities and urgently need treatment!"

After hearing this, Natsuno felt a headache coming on.

"You guys keep things in order for now. Put all the abnormal Pokémon to sleep and calm them down."

"I need to think of a solution regarding the medication. That's all for now!"

After hanging up, Natsuno immediately called Daigo again.

"Daigo, is the inhibitor test done?"
