Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

The men covered their eyes, unable to look directly at him.

Three seconds later, accompanied by Eevee's wail, a yellow figure appeared in front of Crimson.

Eevee has evolved into Jolteon, and with a few leaps, it arrived among the Crobats.

Intense electric light surged across his body: "Buee~!"

Discharge!

Lightning, even more dazzling than the light of evolution, flickered in the cave, forcing Crimson to cover his eyes and dare not look.

Three seconds later, the lightning went out, and the Crossbats collapsed to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot, turning into circles with eyes.

Seven or eight of the Rockets members who were near the front of the pack lay on the ground, their hair and bodies standing on end, convulsing.

After letting out an even more painful howl, Eevee's body reverted from Jolteon back to its original Eevee form.

Red rushed forward and picked up the weakened Eevee, her heart filled with panic: "Eevee, how are you?!"

No one could answer him. The remaining six or seven henchmen looked at the mess on the ground and swallowed hard.

They kept passing the buck, one saying, "You go," the other, "Why aren't you going?" and the other refusing to talk back.

During the scuffle, the group suddenly felt a wave of heat coming from behind them.

"clap clap"

Then they realized there was no need to argue anymore; everyone was knocked into the stone wall and landed neatly together.

Several Gyrocopters stood there, emitting threatening growls.

The officers advanced quickly: "Don't move! You're surrounded!"

Red quickly put away his three partners, grabbed Eevee, and rushed out: "Everyone, I called the police!"

"It's an emergency! Someone take me to the Pokémon Center, the rest of you clean up the mess!"

Officer Jenny, who was in charge, saw that Crimson was actually directing the police officers and wanted to stop him.

However, seeing Eevee lying unconscious in Crimson's arms, they had no choice but to do as Crimson instructed.

Red sat on the Pidgey and took out his phone to call Natsuno: "Natsuno-ge, it's an emergency!"

Then, in a few words, he told Natsuno about Eevee's performance, including the fact that the little guy was unconscious.

Xia Ye's mind raced: "Go directly to the Devon Building, land on the roof, and I'll have someone meet you!"

After hanging up the crimson phone, Natsuno quickly called Daigo.

The latter thought Natsuno was going to call again to urge him to hurry up with the machine, and his tone was very helpless.

Brother, you've been calling me several times a day to urge me on, I really can't take it anymore!

"Natsuno, we're really working overtime to catch up! The machines are really fast!"

"Daigo, send someone to the rooftop to meet a boy named Crimson. He'll be landing soon!"

"Take him to the lab floor for a gene sequencing test! Prepare some gene inhibitors; they should be useful!"

After giving his instructions, Natsuno hung up the phone and told the air taxi driver to turn towards the Devon Building and land.

Fortunately, he was sharp-eyed and noticed that the air taxi he hailed wasn't a rocket taxi, lest his whereabouts be tracked.

Even with a mask providing double disguise, one should still be as cautious as possible.

Ten minutes later, Natsuno, who had paid in advance, landed on the roof of the Devon Building and quickly headed to the laboratory floor.

In the laboratory, Ibrahimovic lay on the treatment table, convulsing, with tubes inserted all over his body.

Several doctors were conducting various examinations on Eevee, while Red was pacing anxiously.

Upon arrival, Xia Ye immediately initiated a system scan.

[Scanning... The target individual underwent forced evolution without the aid of evolution stones, and its gene activity level has increased again.]

[Only one step away from collapse, the effect of gene inhibitors will weaken again; taking 4 pills can maintain a normal to slightly elevated level for 1 day.]

[WARNING! Four pills are the maximum dosage; do not increase it further! Otherwise, there is a risk of genetic dormancy, and the patient may never wake up again.]

Without thinking about anything else, Natsuno took out two medicines from the medicine box next to him and gave them to Ibu.

As time passed after Ibrahimovic took the pills, the intensity of his trembling gradually decreased.

A few minutes later, Ibrahimovic's eyes trembled slightly, and he was fully awake.

Xia Ye and his group all breathed a sigh of relief.

Red rushed forward and hugged Eevee: "Thank goodness, you're awake!"

"Buy~"

"Yes, thanks to you, we are all saved!"

"Buy~"

Ibu rested its head against the crimson chest and, seeing Natsuno return to his original form, let out a happy cry.

Natsuno responded with a smile, "Oh, that's great! You've found a really good friend, haven't you?"

He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should tell Ibrahimovic the specific details.

Seeing how close Red and Eevee were, Natsuno made a decision.

"Good news or bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

Chapter 152 New Questions Have Arise

Natsuno's words made Akane's heart tremble, and she spoke haltingly, her eyes almost bursting into tears.

"Natsuno-nii, just tell me everything, I can handle it."

Seeing Chi Hong's expression, Xia Ye knew he had misunderstood something and patted him on the shoulder.

Little did Natsuno know that this action only deepened Akane's suspicions, and the latter took several deep breaths.

"Don't worry, the good news is that gene inhibitors are still effective against Ibrahimovic."

"The bad news is that four pills will last for a day, and I estimate the pain will be even more intense."

"After taking 4 pills, the little guy will actually feel some pain, but it's within a tolerable level."

Natsuno gently pointed to Eevee's brow, at which point the little guy suddenly frowned and his body trembled slightly.

Red, who was holding Eevee tightly, naturally noticed and quickly asked, "Can't the effect be increased further?"

Xia Ye slowly shook his head: "No, this is another piece of bad news I have to tell you. Four pills are already the maximum dosage."

"If we add more, there is a risk that the Pokémon's genes will become dormant and they will never wake up again after falling asleep."

"Actually, it's in the drug's instructions, but it hasn't been packaged and released to the market yet, so only Joey and his friends know about it."

Everyone fell into deep thought, and Natsuno continued to add to the discussion.

"In other words, if the little guy undergoes another such autonomous evolution, it might be the last time!"

Natsuno's words struck everyone's hearts like a hammer blow, and the atmosphere became extremely heavy.

Red looked at Eevee in his arms with a serious expression: "Little guy, you can't do that anymore!"

"I'll always find a way. You're just as important to me as my other partners!"

Ibrahimovic's eyes glistened as he listened to Crimson's words, but he did not respond.

Red knew that Eevee probably wouldn't agree, and said helplessly, "Promise me, Eevee!"

However, the little guy just stubbornly shook his head and never responded to Crimson.

Xia Ye waved his hand: "There's probably some kind of tracking device on the little guy. Scan it and take it off!"

Anthony nodded and led Red and Ibrahimovic to begin the X-ray examination.

Natsuno then fell into deep thought: "Why can Eevee undergo autonomous evolution?"

"Is this individual special because it has previously undergone experiments involving the activation of multiple genes?"

Then Natsuno suddenly remembered the scene from the previous battle between Red and Green where the two Pokémon evolved at the same time.

"That's not right either. There have been cases since ancient times of Pokémon evolving in response to their trainers' feelings during battle."

"From the past to the present, it has always been attributed to the deep bond between Pokémon and their trainers."

What does "bond" represent? And what specific role does it play?

"And what about evolution stones? Why do they catalyze the evolution of Pokémon? What is the specific mechanism behind it?"

Just as Natsuno was pondering, the system in his mind popped up a notification again.

[A new branch is triggered in the Miracle Mystery quest chain]

[Branch 2: Autonomous Evolution: How exactly does the bond between the trainer and the Pokémon drive the latter to evolve?]

[Branch 3 Evolution Stone: A special stone that can promote Pokémon evolution. What is the corresponding change mechanism?]

Influence points will continue to be awarded as the research progresses.

The system's task has been activated again, this time on a new branch.

Natsuno shook his head: "The more I study, the more mysteries emerge. Have I really chosen the right research direction?"

Daiki stepped forward and patted Natsuno on the shoulder: "Natsuno, your research will uncover more secrets, and I'm really looking forward to it."

Daigo then stepped forward and began to talk about something else.

"By the way, Natsuno, I know you're definitely going to open the fossil revival to the public. What are the specific details of the opening?"

"Directly copy and breed existing fossil Pokémon gene pools for other people?"

Natsuno shook his head: "No, this is not conducive to the development of genetic diversity. Too many Pokémon with the same genetic sequence are not good."

"Let the public dig up fossils and bring them back to life first, and then bring them back to life at cost price."

"Those without fossils should register first and wait in line to be gradually made available for purchase. Fossil Pokémon must be bred with other Pokémon to produce offspring."

Daigo took careful notes: "In short, the goal is to increase genetic diversity, right? I will make the corresponding adjustments and arrangements."

"The breeding of other common Pokémon will also be adjusted accordingly, and the problem of the lack of starter Pokémon has now been initially resolved."
