Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

"I made all the masks myself, and they're already booked until next year!"

"My hands are about to break from all this work, I'm quitting!"

"Monkey King is dead! What did you guys do?!"

Chapter 197 Still saying you're not Monkey King?

Despite the stall owner's strong refusal, everyone persisted.

Upon seeing this, the stall owner pulled out a megaphone and began to berate and insult people.

"Don't come here again! A bad player is a bad player! If you're bad, practice more! Stop with this fancy stuff! It's embarrassing!"

"Even if you wear Monkey King masks, you can't hide your utterly terrible fighting skills!"

"Instead of wasting time grabbing masks, you should be figuring out how to fight! A bunch of noobs!"

After the stall owner finished speaking, the crowd fell silent.

Natsuno was worried that the stall owner would be subjected to an indiscriminate octagonal cage attack and wanted to step in to help.

Surprisingly, in Kanto, where the fighting spirit was at its peak, this group of people remained silent.

The next second, a young man timidly spoke up: "Boss, after you're done cursing, can you sell me a Monkey King mask?"

The others quickly followed suit, continuing to surround the stall owner in an attempt to buy the mask.

Defeated by this group, Natsuno went to another stall and bought several different masks.

After packing all the other masks into a bag, Natsuno put on a small fire dragon mask.

"Monkey King is dead, next up is Dragon King! Awoo!"

Xiao Cai chimed in and made a gesture of showing off her muscles.

Since Monkey King's big tongue is a bit too iconic, Xiao Cai transformed into Shaking Spot this time.

Normal type, with a unique characteristic of going their own way, similar height, perfect for disguise.

Passersby were somewhat surprised to see Natsuno wearing a small fire dragon mask.

Several enthusiastic people came up to Xia Ye and greeted him: "Brother, do you also want to imitate Monkey King? Can't you buy a mask?"

Natsuno nodded, and the other person pointed out several hidden stalls where he could buy Infernape masks.

After saying goodbye to the other party, Brother Long took his 'Shaky Spot' to another battle arena.

The battle arena was filled with trainers wearing Infernape masks, making it feel like a monkey cosplay convention.

Spinda was first discovered in the Hoenn region and is still relatively rare in Kanto.

This led to various monkey brothers taking the initiative to greet Xia Ye.

Xia Ye waved his hands repeatedly in refusal and went to the front desk to register.

After registering an account named "Master of a Hundred Transformations," Xia Ye began today's matchmaking battle.

After easily securing three consecutive victories, the audience's gaze towards Natsuno began to change.

With four consecutive wins, people have started taking pictures of Natsuno and calling their friends to join them.

With five consecutive wins, the stands were already full, and people kept pouring into the tunnel.

Seeing everyone comparing themselves to their phones, each one looking quite serious.

Suddenly, someone shouted at Xia Ye, "Monkey King! You're Monkey King, right!"

Xia Ye's heart tightened, and he waved repeatedly to the audience rushing towards him.

"No, I'm just a fan of Monkey King! You've mistaken me for someone else!"

A muscular guy was running at the front, his face was so big that the standard-sized Monkey King mask could only cover a small part of it.

"Impossible! Monkey King fans would only wear Monkey King masks!"

"Only Monkey King himself chose a different mask to avoid us!"

"Even the Pokémon levels and abilities are matched perfectly, there's no mistake!"

Natsuno stared in disbelief: "You guys actually believed such a flimsy reason?"

At the same time, he secretly gestured to Xiao Cai with his hand behind his back: Let's go!

Xiao Cai instantly understood, grabbing the tail in her right hand and holding Xia Ye's hand with her left.

On the other side, the spectators who rushed over nodded vigorously, chasing each other.

"The reasons are perfectly valid and not hasty at all. Monkey King, let me touch your hand and let it absorb some of the battle aura!"

Seeing that the audience was only 5 meters away from him, Natsuno felt a little uneasy.

The next second, Xiao Cai began to draw rapidly with the tail-shaped paintbrush in her hand.

A Gardevoir made of energy quickly formed, its expression incredibly lifelike.

At that moment, an energy Gardevoir suddenly appeared in mid-air above Natsuno's head, attracting everyone's attention.

Gardevoir's body surged with energy, and one second later, the energy completely enveloped Natsuno and the other two.

Goodbye everyone!

Instant teleportation!

A flash of light, and Natsuno and his group were gone from the arena, much to the dismay of the audience.

His body appeared in the bushes outside the battle arena. Natsuno took off his mask and wiped away a cold sweat.

Seeing that no one was around, Natsuno realized his mistake and had Xiaocai transform into an ordinary Tutu dog.

Redirecting to another battle arena, Natsuno changed into a Squirtle mask.

He even bought a pair of sunglasses and wore them over his mask: "From now on, I am Captain Squirtle, Squirtle!"

"Team member TuTu Dog, if anyone asks me for money, just kick them out, understand, Jenny?"

Xiao Cai immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Tulu, Tulu! Tulu (Yes, Captain! Why do you do this?)"

Natsuno looked quite serious, but unfortunately, his face was hidden by his mask, so no one could see it: "Because no matter who asks me, Jenny."

“I’ll always answer him, ‘Jenny (I’ll lend it to you), understand, Jenny!’”

Great, it's an old pun, we're doomed!

Xiao Cai didn't quite understand, but she nodded earnestly.

Upon arriving at the new battle arena, Natsuno began a new round of battles.

The opponent was still a guy wearing a Monkey King mask, and the audience whispered among themselves as they looked at the Squirtle mask on Natsuno's face.

"Could it be him?" "Possibly, it was that guy in the stands who tested us."

Under the watchful eyes of Natsuno and Aya, the opponent released a Gastly.

And it starts with a high-level move: "Strange Light!"

Xia Ye smiled: "You're already a fan of Monkey King, so why aren't you wary of my unconventional personality? You're a fake fan!"

He then immediately gave the command: "Dragon Dance!"

Gastly floated over, while Xiao Cai began sketching an Energy Dragonite, which twisted and turned.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the audience, Gastly condensed a ball of light and flew towards Xiao Cai.

Xiao Cai, having received instructions from Xia Ye, made no attempt to evade him.

The energy dragon in the drawing completes its movement, and all the energy is absorbed by Xiao Cai's body, thus increasing its corresponding ability level.

Under the expectant gazes of the audience, the energy of the strange light touched Xiao Cai's body.

The next second, after realizing that there was no chaos above Xiao Cai's head, everyone stood up.

The opponent exclaimed in surprise, "Monkey King! It really is you!"

"Without wearing the Monkey King mask, and with your Pokémon abilities going their own way, you still say you're not the Monkey King?"

Natsuno's pupils dilated in shock: Not a buddy? So he deliberately used that strange light to check Aya's characteristics?

Your way of thinking is truly amazing!

Looking around, I saw that everyone was extremely excited, whispering and calling to their friends.

If the battle hadn't been ongoing, they would have pounced on them.

Natsuno looked at his opponent helplessly: "Stop talking nonsense, the battle isn't over yet!"

The other party laughed loudly: "Brother Monkey, I will defeat you!"

"Cleansing Smoke!"

Chapter 198 This is infuriating! I must develop a special medicine!

Clear Smoke, a genetic move of the Gastly family, can remove all stat changes of the opponent upon hit.

Natsuno waited for Gastly to start charging before giving the command: "Attack!"

A surprise attack is a preemptive move, and it charges up faster.

The malevolent energy on Xiao Cai's body surface surged and eventually converged in two parts: her feet and the tip of her tail.

With a single step, his movements were as fast as lightning, and he instantly arrived in front of the opponent's Gastly.

Gastly was about to spew out a large plume of purple smoke to cover Xiao Cai, while its pupils dilated uncontrollably.

While still exhaling smoke, Gastly watched helplessly as Xiao Cai plunged the tip of her tail, which was brimming with attack energy, deep into her own stomach.

"laugh!"

The effect is outstanding!

With a sound like a hot knife piercing butter, Gastly showed an expression of extreme pain.

Ghost Pokémon do not mean they have no physical form; Gastly and Haunter are both classified as gaseous Pokémon.

At the same time, Xiao Cai also suffered some damage due to the opponent's move, and her ability level returned to its original state.
