Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off

Although Daigo didn't know what Natsuno was talking about, he had already begun to trust Natsuno unconditionally.

After passing through multiple security checks, Anthony and Bob were thrilled to see Natsuno in the research lab.

"Natsuno, you've come at the right time! The genes from that fossil have already been extracted."

"I just finished introducing proliferative cells, come quick!"

Xia Ye wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he took out a petri dish from his pocket, picked up the tweezers, held his breath, and began to work.

Seeing his expression, the others didn't bother him, but just looked at the hair inside with curious eyes.

Xia Ye carefully picked up the dreamy eyelashes from inside, put them into the sequencer, and then started the machine to extract the gene sequence.

After Natsuno finished his work, Anthony asked, "What Pokémon's fur is that?"

Natsuno smiled mysteriously: "It's a secret. You'll know once it's extracted and bred."

He then took the three people whose curiosity he had piqued to see the incubation chamber.

The event was nearing its end, and an egg gradually took shape and appeared before them.

The egg is gray in color, with zigzag patterns on both sides, and is purple in color, shaped like a pair of wings.

When the machine finished operating, Natsuno stepped forward, picked up the egg that was fixed in the incubation device, and examined it carefully.

Anthony smiled broadly: "It wasn't easy. We only finished entering the genetic information this morning."

"Natsuno, guess what type of Pokémon cell this Pokémon's genes correspond to?"

Natsuno activated his super brain: Actually, the egg can reflect the information of the Pokémon inside.

There are 5 types of fossil Pokémon in Kanto, 4 of which are water-type, and the color of this egg clearly doesn't seem to be water-type.

That was a pterosaur!

Natsuno recalled the fossil pterosaur's attributes: rock-based flight, and cautiously guessed, "It's a flight attribute?"

Unexpectedly, Anthony shook his head with a smile: "No, no, no, it's dragon attribute."

"You probably already guessed that this contains pterosaur fossil genes, so why don't you guess what kind of dragon it is?"

Xia Ye didn't respond, and looked a little embarrassed.

Just because someone's name contains the character for "dragon" doesn't mean they are a dragon, right, Charizard-sama?

But the past is the past, and the present is the present.

After in-depth research into genes, it's possible that the fire-breathing dragon might not actually be a dragon.

At least Mega Charizard X is indeed a Fire Dragon type.

Before the genetic theory, people knew that Mega Evolution was the ability to unleash a Pokémon's deepest potential and evolve it into an ancient form.

The explanation for the Mega Evolution phenomenon becomes clear after the genetic theory: it is due to the activation of hidden ancient genes.

This actually illustrates two points.

First, Charizard contains Dragon-type genes, but it needs to be deeply activated through Mega Evolution.

Based on genetics, it is highly likely that the ancient Charizard was a Fire/Dragon type, a true Fire Dragon.

Secondly, there is indeed a strong connection between Flying and Dragon types.

The main thing to look at is Charizard, whose dragon attribute has evolved into flight attribute after a long period of evolution.

Despite having thought about it all, Natsuno still didn't know how to answer Dr. Anthony.

I can't say any more, or I'll insult the dragon. I won't say it anymore.

He could only give an awkward laugh: "Just a guess. Maybe pterosaurs were actually dragons that could fly in ancient times?"

The other three nodded slightly after hearing this, seemingly thoughtful: "That is indeed a possibility."

Suddenly, a bright light shone from the table, attracting everyone's attention.

Following the light source, you can see the two eggs that were originally extracted from the amber.

At this moment, both eggs emitted light, and the light flickered rhythmically.

One of the lights was flashing at a noticeably faster pace; it was the one that had been cultivated earlier.

The light on the other one was not as dazzling as the first, and it had not yet begun to flicker.

Natsuno frantically pulled out his phone: "Quick, quick, record this moment!!!"

Daigo frantically ordered people to find the ultra-high-definition camera, but the light on the egg was flashing faster and faster, and there was no time left.

Soon, the light representing new life shone brightly for a moment, then faded away.

It has a spiral-shaped grayish-white shell on its back, a pair of round little eyes, and many blue tentacles below.

"As expected, it's a kiwanomon."

Natsuno used the name from this world instead of the Omanyte beast that was familiar to Earth.

The newly hatched little creatures weren't afraid of strangers at all; they quickly devoured their entire eggshells in a few bites.

Then his little eyes darted around, looking left and right, as if searching for something.

Anthony thought for a moment and then went to find a sink.

The little guy saw the sink, let out a happy shout, climbed in and swam happily.

Natsuno filmed for a few more minutes with her phone and uploaded it directly to Pokémon Audio & Video.

I casually put together a title: "The first fossil-revived Pokémon has been born!!!"

After confirming that the video had been successfully published, I stopped checking my phone.

I quickly went over and touched the little guy's shell; it was hard, it was real.

Xia Ye took his hand out, twirled his fingers, and savored the sensation he had just felt.

He snapped out of his daze, overjoyed: "The fossil resurrection technology has succeeded!"

Everyone applauded loudly, celebrating the little one's birth.

Fossils give birth to new life

Bending shell fabric thread

Resurrection has come true.

Inspired, Natsuno composed a senryu poem again, drawing applause from everyone once more.

The little guy in the sink didn't know what everyone was laughing at, but just chirped happily along with them.

After venting his joy, Anthony picked up the sink.

"Let's go test their attributes and abilities; this is an essential step in discovering a new Pokémon!"

Daigo immediately transformed into a bodyguard, leading the way with complete focus.

They also arranged for Xia Ye and Xia Bo to stand on the left and right sides, protecting the water tank completely.

The group went to another room next door, which was very spacious and filled with the instruments needed for the test.

Daigo breathed a sigh of relief after closing and locking the door.

Natsuno was somewhat amused and exasperated, and went over to search for the tools they needed with Anthony Bob.

First, we measured the height and weight. Since the little guy had just hatched, he was definitely not at the average level.

We can only measure and record the data first, but this is also important data that can be used as a reference for health data in the future.

Seeing that the little guy could walk, move, and had flexible tentacles, Natsuno judged that he should be a healthy individual.

But the four people in the room had just recorded their height and weight when they were unable to proceed to the next step.

The four people's phones rang incessantly, without stopping.

Daigo, Anthony, Natsuno, and even Natsume all took out their phones to check.

Natsuno took out his new cell phone, which he had only turned on when he entered Daigo's office. The caller ID showed "Professor Oki".

Not daring to delay, he ran to the other side to answer the phone.

Oak's voice boomed, "Natsuno! Did you really succeed?! That Pokémon is real, right?"

Xia Ye gave a wry smile: "Doctor, I have neither the intention nor the guts to commit academic fraud."

"It's true, you all saw the video? The internet speed is that fast?"

On the other end, Oki breathed a sigh of relief and let out another hearty laugh.

"Alright, alright! Let's continue the meeting. Hurry up and get the baby's information tested!"

"By the way, you have the right to name any newly discovered Pokémon!"
