Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

After getting on the bus, Natsuno noticed that Naz was still somewhat absent-minded, so he waved to her repeatedly.

"Big sister, are you alright? It's time to snap out of it and stop meditating!"

Naza looked up and saw the two little ones who had been settled by Natsuno in the rearview mirror, and sighed.

"Natsuno, would you like to hear me talk about my childhood?"

Xia Ye shook his head and fastened his seatbelt as well: "I don't want to. I just want you to concentrate on driving. I'm scared!"

Naza laughed in anger again, and stepped on the gas pedal all the way down, slamming Natsuno into the seat.

Hmm, not bad, the acceleration is quite strong!

"Yay! I want to hear it! I want to hear it!"

"Please, Lady Sabrina, tell me! I want to hear about your childhood!"

"Just tell me, and I'll do anything except play against you and solve advanced math problems!"

Chapter 160 Battle Bet

Naz snorted and slowed down: "Since you're so eager to hear it, I'll mercifully tell you."

“My father was very strict with me from a young age. He taught me not to talk while eating or sleeping, and so on. I was not allowed to do anything impolite.”

"Even now, the photo of him kneeling at the entrance of the dojo and begging because he was late for work is still on news websites."

“I’ve had enough of this kind of all-encompassing control. Other classmates get the tolerance of their parents, but I don’t, and I’m powerless to resist.”

"I swear that when I grow up I will do all the things that are forbidden, including joining the Rockets!"

"And then there's going to Hollywood to become an actor. What about showing your face in public and ruining your family's reputation? I'm going to become a household name and a big star!"

Naz spoke through gritted teeth, her anger palpable.

At this moment, Natsuno felt uneasy as he watched cars being overtaken and left behind outside the car window.

All they could do was cling tightly to their seatbelts, pitiful, weak, and helpless.

Naz skillfully overtook one car after another, her mouth never stopping.

"I realized I made a brilliant decision. These things are so much fun, much more fun than inheriting a gym."

"Can you understand? The old man in your family has been instilling all sorts of concepts in you since you were little."

"As the head of a dojo, you must do this and that, and you must not do that and that."

Seeing Sabrina looking at him in the rearview mirror, Natsuno nodded repeatedly: "I understand, the gym leader is just a title."

"Meeting the required standards in terms of ability, attitude, and connections is enough; everything else is an unnecessary shackle!"

Naza nodded slightly, confirming Natsuno's statement.

"What I hate most is the kind of strict rules and regulations he imposes on me."

"I swore when I was a child that I would never do this when I grew up!"

The car gradually slowed down and finally stopped on the side of the road.

Naz's eyes turned sad: "But just now, my reaction after seeing the little guy's actions and behavior."

"What I said was exactly the same sentence he used to say when he disciplined me back then!"

Naza unbuckled her seatbelt and apologized to Xiao Cai again.

"Little one, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to say that!"

"I just..."

Naz's voice trembled with tears as she said, "I've just been too deeply influenced by these bad ideas!"

"How could I have become like this, become the very thing I hate most!"

Naz slumped over the steering wheel and wept uncontrollably.

Natsuno fell silent, unsure how to react.

Xiao Cai unbuckled her seatbelt, took out a tissue from the car pocket, and handed it to Na Zi.

The latter looked up, saw it was Xiao Cai, and said "thank you".

Xia Ye unbuckled his seatbelt, picked up the two little ones, and got out of the car, walking straight ahead along the roadside.

A few minutes later, the car was left far behind until it was completely out of sight.

Natsuno's mind was a jumbled mess, with all sorts of thoughts popping into his head.

I walked and thought, and it took me almost half an hour to walk out.

Natsuno snapped out of his daze and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Helplessly, he turned around and thought, "Is that girl still crying there? When can I get back to base?"

Unexpectedly, the car was just one meter behind him and kept following him.

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that Natsuno didn't hear the engine until now.

After Natsuno and the two children were seated and fastened their seatbelts, Naz laughed.

"I thought Lord Natsuno was going to walk all the way back. You have great stamina!"

Natsuno chuckled awkwardly, "I was thinking about something and didn't notice."

Noticing that Natsuno's emotions had calmed down, Natsuno cautiously asked a question.

"So, is the Rockets a fun team?"

Naz nodded first, then frowned: "It was fun at first, but now, I'm not so sure."

"Uncle Sakaki won't let me challenge you, that's no fun. You're much more interesting than him."

Natsuno raised his hands in surrender: "Lady Sabrina's combat power is unparalleled. How could I, an ordinary researcher, possibly defeat you!"

Sabrina frowned: "Are you saying I'm not smart? I'm unbeatable in combat and you still tricked me twice!"

Xia Ye, with a pained expression, raised his hands even higher: "Big sister, please let me go! I was wrong!"

Naza chuckled: "You're so easy to tease! That was fun, I want to do it again next time!"

Yo-me-lo!

Natsuno inwardly groaned, then decided to divert Naza's attention: "So what kind of tasks do you usually handle?"

"I've done almost every mission except catching Pokémon, including capturing people, battling, escorting, and so on."

"Is it fun?"

"It's all pretty good, definitely more fun than staying cooped up in the dojo."

"There's another question. Now that you're in Hollywood, how will the gym operations be managed? How will Team Rocket squeeze in time for their regular duties?"

Sabrina revealed a sly smile: "Saffron City has two gyms, so why don't we just send the challenger to the one next door?"

"Anyway, I'm a gym leader now, so I'm allowed to go into seclusion for a few days or even a month."

"Moreover, most challengers know that I am not easy to fight, and the fighting gym next door is easier to fight."

"Furthermore, I've set up teleportation mechanisms in the dojo. It's completely random; if you're unlucky, you might not even get to me for a month."

"There are far fewer people challenging my superpower gym than the one next door, so I'm not worried about not being able to accommodate everyone."

Natsuno was completely speechless at this point, and gave Natsumi a gesture of admiration.

Natsuno glanced at Sabrina again: "Hey, what do I have to do to get you to accept my challenge!"

"You're the first person to beat me in a non-gym challenge, and I'm definitely going to get my revenge!"

Natsuno surrendered again: "I surrender to Lady Natsume, I admit defeat, you win, please let me go!"

Seeing that Naz was relentless, Natsuno had no choice but to loosen his grip slightly.

"If we really have to fight, you can't use a level advantage; you can only use Pokémon of the same level."

"Think about it, you're a gym leader, you've been through so many battles, and you can only win by level advantage? People will laugh at you if they find out."

Sabrina had already witnessed Madoka's prowess and refused to agree: "No, this is the most I can do. I'll only be 20 levels below you."

Six hundred and sixty-six, 20 levels below me, and you "only" made it?

"No, suppress it by a maximum of 5 levels!"

"Level 15!"

"Level 10, if you disagree, then forget it!"

"Okay, I agree. A maximum of 10 levels lower! No attribute restrictions! It's settled then!"

"What a joke! The attribute can only be superpowers!"

"Okay, dual attributes including superpower attribute counts too, that's settled!"

"Tch, let's talk about that when you have time. You're practically a big star in Hollywood, you have to run around like crazy to get filming!"

"Hmph, I'll make time to come back. I'm really looking forward to and happy to fight you!"

"If you lose, you have to grant me one request! No cheating! Anyone who cheats is a coward!"

"Okay, I agree, but even if you lose, you have to grant me one request!"

"A word is settled!"

Seeing that Natsuno had taken the bait again, he tried hard to suppress the smile on his lips.

Naza, Naza, Madoka and the others are lower level, they'll definitely level up faster than you.

I'll wait until both of my little ones are level 60 before we fight you. How are you going to suppress us when we're only level 10?

You'd better help me destroy Team Rocket then! Hehehe!

Chapter 161 Field Mission: Lobbying Fuji

Back at the underground base, Natsuno headed straight for Sakaki's office, with Natsume following behind.

"Boss, have you gotten the Dreamy fur yet? It's urgent!"
