Chapter 193 Gene-Environment, Genotype and Phenotype

At this moment, Kuaiyong, who was on the shore, had already taken out a red and white ball from his bright red backpack and tossed it to the latter.

The latter reached out and took it, then looked at the Gyarados in front of it again: "I'm serious, let's become partners!"

"call out!"

A red light flashed, sucking Gyarados into the red and white ball.

The Poké Ball landed back in the crimson palm and wobbled from side to side.

One, then two, and Crimson's heart leaped into her throat once more.

After three taps and a "beep" sound, the Poké Ball calmed down.

Red was overjoyed and quickly swam towards the shore with the Poké Ball in his hand: "We have a new companion!"

Then, joy turned to sorrow, and Natsuno on the shore clearly saw the crimson face suddenly change.

The next second he was already struggling: "Quick...glug glug...swim faster, I...glug glug...I'm getting a cramp!"

The fast swimmers on the shore quickly leaped into the water, bringing the crimson liquid ashore.

Crimson, clutching the Poké Ball tightly in her hand, waved to Misty Natsuno: "I'm going to the Pokémon Center now, goodbye!"

Having enjoyed a good show, Natsuno watched Akane leave and couldn't help but sigh, "It wasn't a wasted trip. Aya even sketched quite a few moves."

Xiao Cai nodded vigorously, holding her tail in her hand, eager to show off her talent.

Xia Ye quickly stopped her: "There are too many people here. Show it when we get back. Don't let others see it."

The little guy nodded reluctantly, his face full of regret.

Hua Lan's mermaid bowed to Natsuno and said, "Thank you for your help, Researcher Natsuno."

After that, we'll move on to the follow-up work, since this is just the beginning.

By this time, many volunteers had arrived on the beach to handle the aftermath of the hypnotized Gyarados.

Some were treated on-site with medication, but due to limited space, most were taken to Pokémon Centers for treatment.

Looking at the bustling scene before him, Natsuno began to communicate with Z2 in his mind.

'Guardians, this is the spirit of the League era; they're eager to help even wild Pokémon.'

'It must be quite different from what you saw a thousand years ago, right? This is the result of everyone's joint efforts.'

Z2, remaining invisible, observed all of this: 'Indeed, an unprecedented sight. But it's only a minority.'

Natsuno laughed: "Aren't your cells scattered all over the world? You must be familiar with what the city looks like right now, right?"

Even though I can't see these scenes, I know that people are still constantly rushing here.

'At first, everyone will be scared and run away when attacked, but once they learn the truth, they will definitely come back to help these Gyarados.'

'Is a human who, instead of holding a grudge against the Gyarados for being accidentally injured by them, chooses to help them?'

Z2 remained silent at this point, but Natsuno did not say anything more.

Silence represents reflection, a clash of ideas and thoughts, and is a positive change.

Considering that he was still quite popular and that many people were watching him, Xia Ye quickly made his escape.

They boarded an air taxi bound for the Devon Building; this time, they were in a Pidgeot, which was relatively smaller.

But after her first two Dragonite flying experiences, Xiao Cai has become somewhat accustomed to flying.

When it took off, it was too afraid to look down and kept staring at the Pidgeot's back.

Xia Ye watched the two little ones staring at each other, but didn't reach out to hug Xiao Cai, letting the little one get used to it more.

As we all know, sketching techniques can depict flight; even an ordinary dog ​​can fly.

Moreover, Xiao Cai's sketches are an enhanced version, and Xia Ye is starting to look forward to seeing what it would be like if Xiao Cai's sketches could fly.

The reason is simple: having to walk home after fighting a devastating battle is just too miserable.

The plane landed on top of the Devon Building. At that time, the construction site next to it was still under construction, but the building was already taking shape.

Although Natsuno was wearing sunglasses and a mask, the staff still recognized him because he had been there so many times before.

They went straight to the laboratory floor, only to find that neither of the two PhDs were there.

Puzzled, Natsuno returned to Daigo's office and learned that the two professors were having a meeting at the Kanto Alliance headquarters.

At this moment, Daigo looked at Aya's fluffy tail and suddenly gave Natsuno a mysterious smile.

"Natsuno, you must be Monkey King, right? All the Pokémon you did before were actually Rainbow's transformations, right?"

Natsuno's eyes widened, almost thinking that Daigo had discovered the power of the Shapeshifter, and his voice trembled slightly.

"How did you figure it out? Are our camouflage skills really that bad?"

Daigo shook his head: "On the contrary, it's flawless. Actually, it's because Aya looks too special."

"Although you turned Xiao Cai into a big-tongued person, that illogical digging is too suspicious for me."

"After all, other big-tongued dogs, or even Teddy dogs, of the same level or even 10 levels higher, cannot do this level."

Hearing that Daigo also misunderstood Aya as using a transformation skill rather than a disguise technique, Natsuno felt relieved.

In reality, Natsuno never intended for Aya to transform into a special move during her sketching session.

Reality isn't a game; the power level after transformation still depends on your own abilities and won't copy the other person's power level.

If you want the opponent's moves, then you don't need to. Xiao Cai is a Tutu dog, and you can draw so many moves when sketching.

This means that certain exclusive moves can no longer be sketched, and that's a limitation within the game itself.

Whether it's possible to write in real life is another matter, and besides, Xiao Cai's sketches are an enhanced version.

If Natsuno were to actually encounter Darkrai, he would at least have Aya sketch a Dark Hole to test it out.

Who can resist AOE hypnotic techniques?

While Natsuno was pondering, Daigo continued, "Judging from this, it seems that Aya's corresponding organs are developing exceptionally well, right? Her sketching techniques have become more powerful?"

“This phenomenon is quite common, but no one knew how to explain it before. Natsuno, do you want to investigate it?”

Daigo's words instantly reminded Natsuno, who stroked his chin and fell into deep thought, re-analyzing Aya's situation.

It is known that Xiao Cai's sketching-related genes are no different from those of other Tutu dogs.

Whether it's the genes for special moves, pigment organs, or tail-related features, the genetic structure is the same.

But Xiao Cai's organs are better developed and more powerful, and her tail looks thicker.

In genetic terms, this means that the genotypes are the same, but the phenotypes differ.

Xia Ye suddenly thought of an important concept in genetics: the influence of genes and environmental factors.

Just like the same Pokémon, different individuals will have differences in height and weight.

Therefore, the average level is used as the standard line in the statistics, and it is normal for individual differences to occur.

As long as it's not significantly lower or higher than the average level and falls within the healthy range, it's considered a reasonable situation.

If two parents are both 1.6 meters tall, and their child grows to 1.8 meters tall, it doesn't necessarily mean there's a genetic mutation.

Having completely figured it out, Natsuno clapped his hands: "What a coincidence! I actually thought of that!"

Chapter 194 How could there be no rocks here?

Daigo's eyes widened: "You figured it out so quickly?"

Just as Natsuno was about to speak, the door was suddenly opened, and the two looked over.

At that moment, Professors Anthony and Oki walked in: "What came to mind?"

Xia Ye's eyes lit up: You've come at the perfect time, I can tell you all at once.

He pulled the two of them over to sit down, and while pouring tea, Xia Ye explained the things he had just thought of.

Da Mu took a sip of tea, and he and Anthony simultaneously pulled out their phones to take notes.

"Genes and environment, genotype and phenotype? Phenotype? These are very apt terms."

Daiki patted Natsuno on the shoulder, his research into human thought instantly kicking in: "The case study is Aya?"

"Once you've organized the content, just write a paper and publish it."

Natsuno shook his head: "I don't want the Rockets to know that Xiaocai has recovered."

"If you two have some free time, would you like to complete the experiment?"

He then looked at Anthony and said, "Or perhaps you could ask your eldest disciple? I have so much to research here, I'm really too busy to handle it all."

The latter looked helpless and could only nod in agreement.

Oki then changed the subject: "Whether the theory about the truth of evolution should be published is still under discussion between the committee and the alliance."

"Most of those who agree with your suggestion are discussing how to completely take control of the situation."

Natsuno nodded to indicate that he understood, but his mind was already on something else.

"Daiwu, have you gotten the fossil Pokémon gene samples I asked you to get yet? It's time to explore their mysteries."

Daigo nodded vigorously: "It's already prepared. Yesterday, I had dozens of fossil Pokémon genes entered into the database."

The group got up and returned to the laboratory.

Natsuno looked at Daigo's expectant eyes, puzzled: "Daigo, why are you even more excited than us?"

Daigo coughed and said, "Ah, these Pokémon born from fossils really intrigue me."

Natsuno instantly understood: I get it, love stones and Pokémon.

Upon arriving at the second-generation machine, Natsuno opened the gene database and found the gene of the fossil Pokémon whose information was marked.

Opening a fossil pterosaur sequence, Natsuno flipped the sequence to the fragment section corresponding to the attribute.

Looking at the tens of millions of base pairs contained in this section, Natsuno shook his head.

After finding Bobo's genetic data in the database, Xia Ye immediately started the partition comparison.
