Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off

Xia Ye carefully checked the account content and found that it was indeed a boring account that only posted boring pea-planting videos. He didn't know why it had dozens of followers before. Netizens really have a lot of free time.

The number of likes and comments on each video is now added online. If you randomly click on one, Xia Ye will see that the comments are all things like "came here to pay homage", which makes him confused.

While casually opening the message list, Xia Ye clicked on the video that tagged him and saw the highly praised comment from a netizen: "Rebuilding the glory of the Earth Dragon."

He couldn't help but give it a thumbs up, and then, remembering what Zhu Lan had said and the tasks in his system taskbar, Xia Ye decided to give his netizens a glimpse of what was to come.

Ten minutes later, netizens who were surfing the internet suddenly received a notification.

"New message: The account you follow, @ResearcherJustWantsToSlackOff, has posted new content. Click to view."

Clicking in, I found it was Xia Ye's newly established column, "Look at this pancake, it's so big and round," which featured a video as its first release.

In the video, Natsuno, wearing a Tutu dog pajama, is holding a mobile phone and talking to the screen.

Good evening everyone, this is Xia Ye. Thank you for your attention.

"I was deeply moved to see the heated discussions among netizens about genetics."

Then Natsuno showed the highly-rated comment about the Earth Dragon Dance, dropping a bombshell.

"Yes, this conjecture is theoretically valid. One of my upcoming projects is genetic research on Garchomp and Dragon Dance. Please look forward to it."

After uploading the video, Xia Ye put down his phone, hugged Xiao Cai, and went to sleep, completely unaware that he had dropped a bombshell online.

The top executives of various technology groups, like megalodon smelling blood, immediately ordered their subordinates to set out to find Natsuno's contact information and to vigorously promote cooperation.

Netizens were ecstatic about it.

You can joke around online, but in real life, who doesn't want their Garchomp to start with Dragon Dance, then follow up with Dragon Claw, Earthquake, and Stone Spike?!

Bug Caterpillar, Bug Caterpillar, and Bug Caterpillar are all saying: Garchomp can learn Dragon Dance, so it's not unreasonable for my Caterpillar to learn Dragon Dance, right? It would be even better if it could evolve into Rayquaza at level 99.

The Charizard trainers, on the other hand, were all fantasizing about their Charizards learning Fire Breath, surging with full health on sunny days, rendering Caterpie's training useless. Then the two sides started arguing.

Unfortunately, no one discussed teaching Groudon to fly. After all, in this world, people have virtually no detailed information about legendary Pokémon; they only have a few words written in historical records, shrouded in mystery.

Of course, a certain giant green caterpillar living in the ozone layer is not included in this category, because since humans launched satellites, they have gradually uncovered its secrets, including the fact that adding the finishing touch to a dragon's eyes is its exclusive move.

This can be seen from the fantasies of insect-catching netizens about their beloved green caterpillars.

In short, Xia Ye's pie-in-the-sky video sparked another online frenzy and excitement.

The next morning, the alarm clock rang on time. Natsuno turned it off and looked at his phone screen.

Today's inspirational quote is: Time is as precious as the gold coins on a cat's head, but no amount of accumulating wealth can buy back a single moment of time. —Anonymous

As usual, I followed my morning routine: after waking up, I hugged my still sleepy Xiao Cai, who had been woken up by the alarm clock, listened to the puppy's whimpers, and started my beautiful day.

Back in the Blue Star days, netizens said that you only understand what it means to have a physical attraction after raising cats and dogs. But Xia Ye is much more mature. Cats and dogs? So-so.

In the Pokémon world, he only learned what physical attraction meant after raising Pokémon. Which Pokémon fan could resist getting close to a living Pokémon?

After washing up and going out, Professor Oak was sitting in the living room waiting for me.

Seeing Xia Ye come out, he came up and patted him on the shoulder: "Xia Ye, you've become a hot commodity now. Technology groups from all over the country are looking for your contact information. They couldn't find it, so they came to me."

Natsuno gave an awkward smile. He was used to minimizing information leaks, but he had troubled Professor Oak.

Professor Oak led him out to the restaurant: "The committee is still discussing your promotion, so don't be impatient."

"In addition, if you have any feasibility study directions like those mentioned in last night's video, make a video about them and release it. This will be very helpful for you right now. Don't hide your projects; just show them off."

Natsuno nodded and made a mental note of it.

The time spent slacking off flew by, and before we knew it, it was evening.

Xia Ye changed out of his white lab coat and into casual clothes, while Xiao Cai still kept the ball in her pocket.

As I stepped out of the suite, a man with blue hair and wearing a white suit approached me: "Hello, you must be Natsuno? I'm Apollo, Sakaki's younger brother. He sent me to pick you up for the banquet."

These two names are completely different styles! Who would believe you two are brothers!

Besides, which fan of the Rockets doesn't know that Apollo is one of the four executives of the Rockets? Who are you trying to fool?

Natsuno's heart was filled with mixed feelings, but he could only feign indifference: "Ah, then I'll trouble you."

They walked in silence. Apollo led Natsuno to the VIP lounge on the top floor of the hotel and opened the door for him, saying, "Have a pleasant evening."

Sakaki, dressed in casual clothes, was waiting at the door. Upon seeing Natsuno, he shook hands with him warmly.

"You've arrived! Please come and take a seat; the dinner party is waiting for you."

Sakaki pulled Natsuno towards the dining table, then turned around and ordered, "Serve the food." Apollo responded and left.

Within five minutes, the banquet was set out, featuring a variety of delicacies.

Everyone left, leaving only Sakaki and Natsuno in the room.

Sakaki gestured for Natsuno to eat as he pleased, but the latter didn't mind, thinking he was just there to eat. He picked up a piece of braised Galar Slowpoke tail meat and put it in his mouth.

The moment your tongue touches it, you first taste the spiciness, then the savory flavor of the meat, and finally, there's even a hint of sweetness.

The flavors were rich yet harmonious, developing gradually, and Xia Ye couldn't help but take another piece.

League law stipulates that only a limited number of Pokémon's regenerable parts can be used as food.

Slowpoke is classified as a slow-witted Pokémon, so slow that it doesn't feel pain when its tail is eaten, and it won't even notice when its tail grows back.

Furthermore, the tails of ordinary Slowpokes have a sweet smell, making them a very delicious ingredient.

Galarian Slowpoke, on the other hand, has a spicy tail because it feeds on Galarian cardamom.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two began to chat.

"Natsuno, genetics is truly groundbreaking research. I understand what's involved behind it."

"Regarding the subsequent research, I actually have some suggestions, or rather, collaborations."

"Recently, a group of Eevee that cannot evolve have appeared in Evergreen Forest. I would like to invite you to take a look."

"We've tried everything, tested all sorts of evolution stones, but nothing works."

"Yesterday I was wondering if it's related to genes?"

"Moreover, I have some very special things on hand."

Sakaki relaxed completely, as if he had slumped into the sofa.
