Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

Daigo nodded vigorously: "Really, why would I lie to you about something like this!"

Overwhelmed with joy, Xia Ye felt dizzy.

After a moment of stunned silence, he snapped back to reality, called the system, and initiated a scan.

[Scanning... Target instrument functioning normally, ready for individualized deep gene therapy]

Author's Note on Launch [Seeking Initial Subscriptions]

I have absolutely no idea what to say, so let me first thank all the readers for their support.

As is customary, there will be ten updates today, with each chapter typically containing at least two thousand words.

The full details of the introduction will be presented later; Natsuno is certainly not a researcher who only stays in the research lab.

The Mewtwo Project, subsequent encounters with legendary Pokémon, and Cynthia's romantic storyline, among other things.

I'm shamelessly asking for a first subscription. The author can do everything except solve advanced math problems!

Thank you all!

Chapter 137 Gene Therapy! (Seeking first subscription)

The system's scan results flashed into Xia Ye's mind, and he jumped up with joy.

He was extremely excited, looking around, and somewhat incoherent.

"Um, is the machine connected? Let's start it up and get it in use right now!"

Xiao Cai was still confused and could only reach out and gently tug at Xia Ye's clothes.

Natsuno received a questioning look from Aya and picked her up in his arms.

"Xiao Cai, it's a gene therapy device! A device that can restore you to normal!"

The cute, colorful puppy was a little dazed at first, but suddenly its eyes widened and it barked in confusion.

Natsuno nodded vigorously and repeated the sentence three times in a row.

After receiving confirmation, Xiaocai hugged Xiaye tightly and let out an excited shout.

The engineers watched with knowing smiles.

Daigo understood why Natsuno was so agitated at this moment and looked at the engineers.

"Everyone, thank you for your last trip. Your paid leave is coming up!"

After everyone cheered, the person in charge frowned and quickly stepped forward to stop Xia Ye.

“Mr. Natsuno, although I am very happy, I still cannot let you use the machine now.”

"Although we have successfully assembled it, it is best to conduct a preliminary test before it is used on living organisms."

Daigo's expression calmed down at this moment. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Natsuno, I was so happy that I forgot the process wasn't finished."

Natsuno was impatient, but he was stopped by the combined forces and could only shake his head helplessly.

"So have you thought about how to test it?"

The person in charge and Daigo said in unison, "Of course, we should find a Pokémon with a genetic defect to experiment on."

Natsuno nodded: "Hmm, so where are you going to look?"

"To the best of my knowledge, none of the genetic testing data so far have revealed any individuals with defects."

"Or, since sequence analysis has not yet begun, we do not know whether a certain gene is defective."

The other two were speechless: "Uh, it seems so."

Xia Ye picked up Xiao Cai: "Coincidentally, Xiao Cai has been confirmed to have a genetic defect, so she can serve as a test volunteer."

Xiao Cai nodded repeatedly, her expression eager.

Xia Ye was actually worried that the equipment wasn't ready yet, but the system scan gave him immense confidence.

If Brother Tong says it's okay, then it's okay!

"Besides, we've collaborated so many times, I believe in the principles behind the blueprints I provide."

"I also have faith in all of you engineers who have worked diligently and perfectly to complete the research and development."

Xia Ye looked at the group of engineers with bloodshot eyes and bowed deeply.

"Thank you so much! Without you, the blueprints would be useless to me. You are the greatest contributors!"

The engineers exchanged glances, then looked again at the person in charge and Daigo.

Seeing that they couldn't refuse, the two had no choice but to act according to their wishes.

Upon arriving at the exposed machine, Natsuno noticed that everyone had gathered around to watch.

It was strange that no one was operating the central control computer.

Daigo then smiled mysteriously and spoke a sentence towards the central control computer.

"Device 1, open the gene therapy chamber lid!"

Then Natsuno saw the image of a Porygon suddenly projected onto the central control computer.

The polygonal beast program named "Devin 1" responded: "Devin 1 received. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Upon closer listening, the sound was coming from a speaker near the central control computer, and the language pack sounded very familiar.

Natsuno looked at Daigo: "You actually used your own voice to create a voice pack, you shameless Daigo!"

Daigo blushed slightly but didn't reply. He simply pointed at the treatment device and said, "The hatch is open. Let Aya go in!"

Xia Ye carried Xiao Cai into the cabin, where she obediently lay down.

Daigo once again gave the order to Devon 1: the hatch closed and the gene therapy device started.

Natsuno looked at the operating machine and felt very uneasy, pacing back and forth nearby.

His face showed anxiety, and he desperately wanted to go in and accompany Xiao Cai during her treatment.

Devon 1 then reported: "The gene therapy device has been activated and has reviewed and combined a total of 10086 Tutu dog gene data in the database."

"The treatment has officially begun and is expected to take 79 minutes to complete."

Everyone held their breath, watching the treatment device operate.

The waiting time was the longest, so Natsuno decided to shift her focus and started chatting with Daigo.

"Daigo, do you know how things are going at Mt. Tsukimi?"

Daigo shook his head: "I don't know. Because the signal is not working inside Mount Tsukimi, it's difficult for us to contact the search team."

"But the situation at the camp is very stable, and no Pokémon have been harmed."

Natsuno couldn't help but complain, "Didn't they ever consider setting up a signal transmission system for the passageways inside Mount Tsukimi?"

"With the signal constantly down like this, if something really happens in those deeper areas, it won't even be time to call for help!"

Daigo shook his head again, indicating that he didn't know much.

"It seems that the Kanto Alliance did propose a relevant plan, but it appears to have been rejected by a gym leader."

"It seems that Gym Leader Giovanni objected on the grounds that it would affect the Pokémon ecosystem, and the proposal was later shelved."

"Signal waves do have some effect on Pokémon, that's undeniable."

Natsuno exclaimed, "Good heavens! Boss Giovanni, you're worried about hurting Pokémon? Who would believe that?"

Just as they were chatting, Natsuno suddenly saw Professor Oak walk in.

He stood up abruptly, rubbed his eyes, and asked without hesitation, "Professor Oak, didn't you say you were going to Cerulean?"

The latter replied with a serious expression: "I'm quite at ease with Hualan because they have someone in charge there. They need me more here."

Then, when Daiki saw that Natsuno only had Madoka beside him and didn't see Aya, he couldn't help but ask.

"Where's Xiao Cai? I haven't seen the little one."

Natsuno pointed excitedly at the operating machine: "Doctor, gene therapy device!"

Professor Oak instantly understood what Natsuno meant, and quickly ran to the machine to observe it, marveling at it.

Back at the tea table next to Natsuno, Daiki sat down and looked at Madoka in Natsuno's arms.

"This little guy, you mentioned multiple linked gene mutations before, right? Can the treatment device cure it?"

Xia Ye shook his head: "Xiao Yuan's situation is too complicated to be addressed for the time being, and I'm not confident about it."

The three sat around chatting, and time passed quickly.

The central control computer issued a notification from Devon 1: "This treatment has been completed."

Xia Ye leaped three feet high and arrived in front of the cabin in just a few steps, his movements so fast that they left afterimages.

"Hiss~"

The hatch opened, and Xiao Cai's eyes were closed, seemingly asleep.

Natsuno gently poked the little guy's face. The little guy felt ticklish and waved his hand away from Natsuno's hand.

The next moment, Natsuno gently shook Xiaocai awake: "Get up, it's time to eat Galar Slowpoke tail meat!"

Xiao Cai's eyes snapped open, and the dog sat up abruptly, looking around as its nose twitched slightly.

After realizing that Natsuno was lying to her, she slapped Natsuno across the face, but not very hard.

Xia Ye looked Xiao Cai up and down, examining her from all angles, lifting her little arms and big tail to check her from all sides.

"And then? Is it considered cured?"
