Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

Natsuno nodded seriously: "In other words, the genes are the same before and after evolution, but the number of activated gene bases is different."

"From this perspective, evolving into Butterfree will activate more gene fragments."

"This is the secret of evolution, the deep expression of genes!"

Professor Oak was completely stunned, his eyes fixed on the screen.

"So this is what evolution is like, involving changes at the genetic level. Can evolution still be considered a miracle in this light?"

Natsuno nodded vigorously: "Of course it counts. It's all about gene expression, but we humans just don't evolve."

The next moment, Natsuno suddenly felt uneasy, and a feeling of being spied on arose in his heart.

The next second, a telepathic voice resounded in Natsuno's mind: 'Human, cease your research!'

The system began issuing warnings in Natsuno's mind!

[A hidden spy has been detected. The Contractor's Voice Blocking function is activated to detect the spy's identity...]

[Zygard Core Blue (Guardian of Order), level fluctuating, moderate level of malice, teleportation function fully charged, ready to be activated at any time]

After reading the message, Natsuno frowned: Z-God? What are you doing here looking for me?

I'm researching genes, what did I do wrong? What order did I disrupt?

While puzzled, Xia Ye remained outwardly calm: "Gentlemen, I'll be back in a bit."

She then turned to look at the two little ones: "Xiao Cai, you play here with Xiao Yuan for a while, I'm going to the toilet."

Xiao Cai's ears twitched, and her expression was full of confusion.

After Natsuno left, Xiaocai suddenly felt uneasy.

Driven by a strong intuition, Xiao Cai secretly followed Xia Ye, carrying Xiao Yuan in her arms.

On the other side, Natsuno found an empty room, went in, and locked the door immediately.

Feeling the persistent probing sensation still piercing him, Xia Ye slowly spoke: "Who are you? Please reveal your true identity."

The next second, the Zygarde Core, entirely green with a blue gem at its core, revealed its true form.

The other party communicated with Natsuno again using telepathy, but their tone was very unfriendly.

'Human, I am the guardian of order on this planet, and I have been observing you for a long time. Cease your research!'

Natsuno still frowned: "Guardian, has genetic research disrupted the order?"

"The gene breeding chamber allows more people to form a bond with Pokémon from the egg stage."

"I'm also working on planting polyploid berries all over the world, as they are beneficial to both people and Pokémon."

Aren't these the directions for development that will make the world a better place?

Natsuno then remembered that the blue core in front of him was Z2, which had been controlled by Team Flare in the anime.

Z2's expression turned serious: 'This is why I only showed up today to stop you!'

Previous research has yielded excellent results, but the secrets of Pokémon evolution cannot be revealed or made public!

Natsuno was even more confused: "Why?"

'Humans are selfish, greedy, and shameless creatures. The secrets of evolution have been revealed, and the outcome is predictable!'

Knowing that evolution isn't a miracle, humans will try every possible way to accelerate Pokémon's evolution! They'll even go so far as to harm Pokémon!

'To study these methods of premature evolution, they would need to capture Pokémon on a large scale for experiments, destroying the ecosystem!'

"Prematurely evolving Pokémon is a very dangerous thing, you should know that, right? Otherwise, why would you be researching gene inhibitors?"

'I have observed this world for thousands of years and have seen many Pokémon that have evolved prematurely due to special magnetic fields.'

'They ultimately face only one outcome: their entire body's cells disintegrate into dust under extreme pain.'

'Autonomous evolution will only be triggered when the ability level reaches a certain point, because only then can it support the activation of more gene fragments.'

To be honest, Natsuno did fantasize about being approached by a legendary Pokémon, but not in this form.

Although he often thinks about slacking off, it's not like he's forced to interrupt his research and his research work is completely cut off. That's not what slacking off is all about!

Natsuno's mind raced: "What about those that evolved ahead of time because of strong bonds?"

'This type of situation is rare, but it falls within the normal range and does not harm Pokémon.'

'That's precisely what worries me! If it were possible for everyone, why would such cases be so rare in human records?'

'The predictable outcome is that hypocritical humans, in order to show off and compete to see who has deeper ties than others, will force themselves to evolve prematurely!'

'Then it will revert to the development path I just mentioned, conducting numerous extreme experiments and disrupting order!'

Xia Ye shook his head: "What you said is just a prediction. Who can predict the future? Besides, the alliance will strictly control it."

"What about evolution stones? There are no level requirements for using evolution stones, so how do you explain that?"

Z2 kept its eyes fixed on Natsuno: 'The evolution stone is... I can't tell you more, please research it yourself!'

'We're currently in an era of alliance control, but how come underground organizations exist in various regions?'

Natsuno said with some helplessness, "Even Pokémon have more than a dozen types, how can all people have the same thoughts?"

"The League is always looking for ways to combat underground organizations and is working hard to promote harmony between humans and Pokémon."

“If it were a time of war a thousand years ago, I would seriously consider your suggestion.”

"But now we live in an era of alliances, an era dedicated to fostering more connections and bonds, and research must continue!"

Z2's eyes sharpened, and the system in Natsuno's mind began to issue rapid warnings.

[Target's malice level has increased; please exercise caution! Teleportation function can be activated at any time.]

Natsuno was quite helpless: Please, Zygarde's cells are all over the world, so wherever you teleport, the other party can find you.

Seeing that the other party was still stubbornly refusing to give in, Natsuno's thoughts started racing even faster.

"I can't stop my research just because of your pointless speculation, or rather, the same goes for humans."

"Since you keep saying that's how things will develop, why don't we make a bet?"

Chapter 175 Assault Soldier Xiao Cai Arrives to the Rescue!

Z2 tensed: 'What bet?'

"Regarding the future development after the publication of evolutionary theory, I don't think the world will turn out the way you described."

"We will announce the theory of evolution to the world and observe its subsequent development, with a one-month observation period."

"I will make preparations with the league in advance and strictly control the direction of development."

"As for you, Guardian, you are free to guide the underground organization toward destruction during this period."

Z2's voice was filled with anger: 'I am a guardian of order, I would never do such a thing!'

'Why should I agree to this ridiculous bet? Humanity hasn't learned a single lesson in thousands of years!'

'I appeared here to prevent you from publishing your research results; how could I let you have your way?'

Natsuno shook his head again: "As long as humans live, they will never stop exploring. How long can you stop them?"

"Without me, without all the other PhDs, or even all the researchers, would no one do the research?"

"Since you have observed for thousands of years, you should know that humans are a very persistent species."

Xia Ye suddenly curled his lip and pulled up a chair to sit down.

"You say my bet is boring? I think you're even more boring, and your ideas are wishful thinking."

"They are self-righteous, blind to human changes, and impose their own wishful thinking on humanity."

"At the very least, most of us humans, not all of us, would not impose our will on Pokémon."

Natsuno suddenly reached into his pocket to take out his phone, and Z2 tensed up again when he noticed his movement.

'What are you doing? Stop what you're doing!'

Natsuno was completely surprised by Z2's strong reaction, but he didn't stop moving.

I took out my phone, opened Pokémon Audio and Video, searched for a few videos, and clicked play.

He pointed the screen at himself and, after various demonstrations, indicated that the thing posed no threat.

Z2's tense body relaxed slightly at this moment, and Xia Ye raised his phone to indicate that the other party should take a look.

But this movement caused Z2 to tense up again, and he even floated back a few steps: 'Human, stop!'

Seeing Natsuno's puzzled expression, Z2 quickly understood and pretended nothing had happened, then started watching the video.

But Natsuno took in all of the other person's actions and expressions, and began to think.

Why does this Z2 seem like it's never seen a phone before? Didn't they say they'd been observing me for a long time? Is that true?

Could it be that it has been sleeping soundly in some remote corner of a cave or some other place for hundreds of years?

Because Zygarde has two cores, Z1 and Z2, which take turns monitoring the world and sleeping.

Then, during my research, I discovered the secrets of evolution in genes, and Z2 suddenly woke up and ran in front of me?

While Natsuno was thinking, Z2 had already finished watching the video that Natsuno had played for him.

'Humans, this photo booth is very interesting, and its content is novel; it delights me.'

Natsuno smiled. Short videos are addictive, and Pokémon is no exception!

"These videos are a microcosm of how humans treat Pokémon today. The core message is to respect the wishes of Pokémon."

"For those who don't want to evolve, we'll find them an Everstone; for those who prefer planting to battling, we'll plant trees with them, and so on."

Natsuno's smile widened: "Guardian, I understand your concerns about order."

"Can you tell me how many years you've been asleep?"

When Natsuno asked the question, Z2's face instantly became flustered.

'You are spouting nonsense! I am the guardian of world order, and I will not sleep!'

Natsuno gently gestured, "Please don't be nervous, Guardian. I will keep your secret."

"What I have in my hand is called a cell phone. It's something that humans have only made in the last few decades. You don't even know that? I guess you must have gone through a period of slumber."
