Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

His heart was filled with a thirst for the unknown: 'So, pterosaurs were pure dragons in ancient times, right?'

"But I extracted genes from fossils, and after being resurrected, this is what happened. Do you have any clues?"

A minute passed without Z2 responding, but the sensation on my head remained.

Natsuno immediately reached out and touched what appeared to be her belly, teasing her for a while.

'How dare you... haha, let go, hahaha, let go, hahaha~'

Feeling Z2's body twitching, Natsuno continued his actions.

Then Natsuno felt his head being slapped haphazardly by the other's tail.

Natsuno scratched for half a minute before letting go, and mentally noted the location of Z2's ticklish spot.

'Humans, how dare you! How dare you treat me like this!'

Faced with Z2's enraged reaction, Natsuno remained completely unfazed: 'Guardian, this is normal interaction between humans and Pokémon, you see.'

While they were talking in their minds, Natsuno reached out to Aya and gently scratched the little one's belly.

The little guy soon started purring comfortably, like a kitten, as loud as an engine.

The little pink one on the left noticed this and stretched out its tail to wrap around Natsuno's hand.

Natsuno understood and began scratching from both sides, making Little Pink purr contentedly.

Hearing the engines roaring on both sides, Natsuno felt as if he were listening to celestial music, and his ears were instantly cleared. He was very happy.

"Look, this is how people and Pokémon interact these days. Look how comfortable Xiao Cai and the others are."

"Guardian, would you like to try it? My cooking is excellent; I guarantee you'll rave about it after you try it."

Natsuno felt a slight movement on the top of her head; it seemed like Z2 had gotten up, glanced at it, and then lay back down.

"No need, I already understand. I cannot answer your question either."

'But I just realized that the genetic order within the pterosaur is unstable, and there seems to be new possibilities.'

Natsuno shook his head. "I know, it's a Mega Aerodactyl, its ability is Hard Claws."

It's disheartening that none of the powerful Rock-type moves benefited from the ability's boost.

Or rather, Rock-type moves simply don't have many contact moves.

After watching the pterosaurs circle in the sky for a while, the group left Pterosaur Mountain.

Next up is an ammonite, swimming freely along a stream that has been cleared out.

By this time, Z2 already understood that humans had revived some of the extinct Pokémon, and was no longer surprised.

After looking at several, Z2 finally asked, "Strange, why have all these Pokémon gained the Rock type?"

'But the genes within the body exist in a relatively stable order, which is strange.'

Seeing that Z2 refused to say how these Pokémon had become extinct, Natsuno decided to refrain from asking further questions for the time being.

Tomohiko received a phone call, said goodbye to Natsuno, and prepared to go back.

Natsuno stopped Tomohiko, went to the restroom to remove and put away Pink's multi-faceted mask, and then let Tomohiko and the others leave.

After visiting most of the hilltops, Natsuno noticed that the sun was already setting.

I called Daigo and reminded him to pay attention to collecting genetic samples from fossil Pokémon.

Then they took a private car back to Changqing Dojo.

On the way, Natsuno suddenly thought of Team Rocket and quickly had a mental conversation with Z2.

Fortunately, the latter seemed to have also entered the car, otherwise it would have been difficult to explain when Natsuno arrived at the underground base.

"Guardian, I have chosen to infiltrate this evil organization in order to eradicate it from this region. Please refrain from any extreme actions."

"Don't worry, I've seen plenty of infighting among you humans. Unless something harms the ecological order, I won't intervene."

Having received Z2's promise, Natsuno felt much more at ease.

Out of caution, Natsuno also informed Z2 about the Mewtwo Project.

The latter was surprised, but the thought of punishment had already formed in his mind.

'The leader of this organization has such ambitions; I cannot let this go unchecked. He must be punished!'

'I misjudged you. To actually manufacture weapons for such an ambitious person, especially Pokémon weapons! Unforgivable!'

Natsuno was so excited his hands almost jumped up, his mind screaming, "Calm down!"

"Speaking of which, this isn't the first time that Giovanni has wanted to rule the world. Didn't you have a feeling about it?"

'What kind of mechanism do you use to sense disruptors of order? How accurate is it?'

Z2's arrogance suddenly faltered, and his tone became somewhat unnatural: 'It was an intuition, a kind of unseen connection.'

Xia Ye rolled her eyes: 'What?! You're talking in such a confusing way, speak plainly!'

'The future is never easy to predict. Your job is to guide things in a positive direction!'

'Mewtwo might become a weapon for world domination in Giovanni's hands, but what about the reverse?'

'If they were on our side, could they become guardians of order? The more helpers, the better!'

Natsuno's words immediately silenced Z2, who only responded after a long while.

'What you say makes some sense, but no one can guarantee that Mewtwo will go in the direction of protecting order.'

'But I've remembered what you said, and I'll remain on the sidelines.'

Natsuno shook his head: 'What are you waiting for? Why don't you just join in and guide them?'

'Could it be that you, a dignified guardian of order, are incapable of guiding a new life onto the path of upholding order?'

'At the very least, you should be able to prevent the other party from embarking on a path of disrupting order, right? If you can't even do that, I'll start to doubt whether you're a guardian of order.'

The tactic of reverse psychology, though crude, was surprisingly effective on Z2: 'What nonsense are you spouting? I can definitely do it!'

'Now that you've confirmed their objective and obtained the fossil sample, why not just subdue them directly?'

Xia Ye shook his head again, his brows furrowed: 'How could someone like him not have a backup plan?'

'I even suspect that the underground base they've been operating for years isn't their research site at all; I haven't even gotten close to the core operations yet.'

In short, please don't act rashly; we will find a way to handle this.

"We'll need your help when we need to use force to suppress the unrest, in order to maintain order!"

After listening to Natsuno's words, Z2 said "I'll try my best" and then fell silent.

The car stopped in front of Changqing Dojo, and Xia Ye could still hear the apprentices talking when he got out.

"Hey, let's watch Monkey King's 100-win streak challenge tonight!"

"Who do you think will fight Monkey King? Monkey King is really amazing!"

"I saw online that a lot of people have come to Evergreen City, and the Pokémon Center is overcrowded."

Natsuno couldn't help but start guessing in his mind.

Who will be the 100th battle against the Monkey King?

Chapter 179 Who are Monkey King's Hundred Battle Opponents?

Seeing that it was almost seven o'clock, Natsuno decided not to go to the underground base.

After a quick meal, he changed his clothes, went into the room, climbed out the window, and left.

Since the identity of Monkey King had already become somewhat famous a few days ago, Xia Ye first disguised himself as an ordinary passerby.

Once they arrived at the battle arena, they hid in the restroom and changed their appearance again, putting on the Monkey King mask.

Upon arriving at the arena entrance, Natsuno was overwhelmed by the sheer number of people; he couldn't even squeeze through the doorway.

To prevent the comical situation where everyone arrives but the opponent doesn't, Natsuno found a public restroom.

After transforming inside, Monkey King makes a dazzling appearance.

Although it wasn't the first time Z2 had seen the unique transformation function of the Mask of Change, he was still amazed.

'What an amazing device! Humans are truly incredible creatures.'

Natsuno ignored the old man's lament and headed straight for the battle arena.

"Wow, it's Monkey King! Go Monkey King, I support you!"

Natsuno nodded in response to the enthusiastic calls of passersby as he arrived at the entrance of the battle arena.

The audience members closest to the entrance noticed Monkey King's arrival and cheered loudly, "Monkey King!"

"Brother Monkey, can I get your autograph?" "Brother Monkey, I want to have your babies!"

Faced with the uproar, Natsuno was glad that he had anticipated it and managed to put both little guys back into the ball.

Otherwise, they would probably have been squeezed into some corner by now.

Xia Ye placed his hands behind his back and said in a cold, unapproachable tone, "Get out of the way!"

To everyone's surprise, this only elicited more screams from fans: "Ah, Monkey King is so cool, I love it!"

Natsuno was speechless, but no one dared to make a move, so Natsuno could only move in at a snail's pace.

Soon, the crowd in front was suddenly parted, and the staff of the battle arena appeared, turning into a human wall.

With the help of the staff, Natsuno finally managed to squeeze into the battlefield area.

At this moment, opponents were fighting on half of the battle arenas, and several large, makeshift screens were displaying information.

The person in charge, who was grinning from ear to ear, came to Xia Ye's side with a somewhat obsequious expression.

“Mr. Monkey, in order to make the 100th battle more efficient, we have pre-arranged a small competition.”

"The one-on-one arena competition for levels 30-34 will end at 7 o'clock. The last person remaining will compete for the opportunity to challenge Brother Monkey."

"It's already down to 5 to 2, and one more round will determine the final contestant."

Xia Ye nodded, not paying attention to his potential final opponent on the stage, and closed his eyes to rest while holding Xiao Yuan.

After Xiao Cai passed the ball, she started warming up to prepare in advance.
