Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

"Abandon the plan? That won't do! It's been so long, didn't we agree on this? Why are you changing your mind?"

In the research lab, Natsuno's research was interrupted by a random phone call from Watari.

It was already afternoon, and Natsuno had spent most of the day in the research lab.

I thought A-Wu had some news, but it turned out to be something that made Natsuno abandon his undercover plan.

A-Du's tone was also somewhat hesitant: "Sakaki submitted some evidence to us around noon."

"Some analysis of the Rockets' movements, covering several recent events."

"Including information about the base's entrances and exits deep in the Evergreen Forest, it's all on there."

Xia Ye was stunned: "What is this old guy trying to do? Destroy himself?"

A-Du on the other end of the phone had a strange look in his eyes: "You were right."

"An emergency meeting was held at noon. Sakaki made a self-criticism, saying that it was right under his nose but he hadn't noticed it."

"And he volunteered to lead a team to the Evergreen Forest to wipe out and completely destroy this organization!"

Xia Ye's eyes widened at first, then his mind started racing.

"No wonder that old bastard told me yesterday to be prepared; it turns out he was going to abandon Changqing's base!"

"Awa, you don't actually think that Sakaki has suddenly changed his ways and given up his ambitions, do you?"

Adu shook his head: "Of course not. I also thought that he was planning to abandon the Evergreen base."

"But I'm worried about your safety. What if Giovanni tries to take this opportunity to get rid of you..."

Xia Ye smiled and said, "No, if the technicians handle it arbitrarily, what will the other researchers think?"

"Without me, his plans will be delayed. As for how to deal with me, it's better to control me than to destroy me."

"Based on the information available, I estimate that this guy has another secret base hidden elsewhere."

"I've already agreed to their full supervision, and I reckon he'll take me to that base to conduct real research!"

Adu's tone turned serious: "We can't gamble with your safety!"

“Adu, I’m not stupid. I’ll run away if things go wrong. I have the ability to escape at any time.”

After some arguing, A-Wu reluctantly agreed to let Natsuno continue his undercover work.

The condition is that you must report your safety status to him regularly, for example, through Multiverse.

Natsuno confidently assured him that he had mastered the technique and was only missing the final step.

At this point, A-Du brought up another matter: "Also, we received an application from the owner of the Maslow Institute, regarding you."

"Strange phenomena have recently occurred at Vermilion Harbor. Some Pokémon that require evolution stones to evolve have inexplicably evolved there."

"He requested that you be invited over for investigation and research, with no time limit."

"Among the pieces of evidence submitted by Giovanni is evidence that Team Rocket conducted experiments on Eevee, which prevented Eevee from evolving."

"So, your official research with Sakaki is now considered complete. What are your thoughts?"

Looking at this somewhat similar application, Natsuno smiled.

Lt. Surge was originally one of Sakaki's men; he probably just had a foothold here with the authorities.

So, does this mean Giovanni's real Mewtwo research base is in Vermilion City?

Just as Natsuno was thinking, another phone suddenly rang, showing that it was Sakaki.

Xia Ye said "wait a moment" to the encrypted phone, put it down, and then connected to the undercover agent's phone.

Sakaki's voice was calm and unhurried: "Natsuno, I have already had Lt. Surge submit an application for you to go to Konoha City to conduct research."

"As you probably guessed, Maslow is also an officer in our organization. If you want to continue your research, you should agree to go to Kuye."

"The choice is still yours. You don't have to come back to Evergreen Dojo now."

The other party hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

Natsuno picked up the encrypted phone again: "Watari, Lt. Surge is one of Sakaki's men. Did I tell you that before?"

A-Du frowned: "No, but they've already told me."

"So, the Rockets' next phase is in Vermilion City?"

Natsuno stroked his chin: "I don't know, I'll find out when I get there. Help me give my reply to Mt. Surge, good luck with your operation!"

"By the way, just like before, I'll head to Kurenai City by myself first to scout it out."

"Sakaki probably pulled this stunt to clear his name and divert attention."

"Adu, you can't give yourself away. Play the long game and wait for my news."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Ye explained the situation in detail to the two doctors.

"You two, the research on gene fragments is up to you. I'll try to create a Polygon first."

Then he brought the two little ones to Daigo's office.

"Daigo, there's been a change on my end. I might not be able to come to Tobun for a while."

"Keep an eye on the machinery, and proceed with the corresponding plans step by step."

"As for me, I'm going to Konoha City."

Chapter 204 The Strange Encounter on the Saint-Tianu

Koroba City is located on a large bay in the Kanto region and is a port city where international cruise ships also stop.

Wearing a straw hat and sunglasses, and after transforming with a multi-faceted mask, Natsuno strolled leisurely along the beach with the two little ones.

The various cool and refreshing outfits on the beach are very eye-catching, and even eating ice cream makes people feel hot inside.

Xiao Cai and Xiao Yuan both wore the same straw hat, but unfortunately Xiao Yuan could only watch enviously as Xia Ye and Xiao Yuan ate ice cream.

The most famous thing in Konoha City is the "Saint-Trannus," one of Maslow's large cargo ships.

Natsuno arrived in Kureha City yesterday, and his first thought was to investigate the ship.

Coincidentally, the ship had just returned to port and docked at Kuba Port today, and Natsuno came over early in the morning to wait for it.

At the port, workers were busy moving goods to the sound of ship horns.

Natsuno pretended to be serious and led the two little ones on a tour of the port, eventually arriving at the Saint-Tianu.

Just as they were getting close, two sailors stopped them: "Excuse me, the Saint-Tianu is a cargo ship and visits are not allowed. Please stop!"

Natsuno shrugged and turned to leave.

Watching the workers unload large quantities of goods onto the ship, Natsuno suddenly had an idea.

Hiding in a toilet stall, Natsuno silently chanted, and the Hundred Transformations Mask instantly transformed his clothes into the attire of a porter.

After using it for so many days, Xia Ye has figured out the Hundred Transformations Mask. It's basically a super illusion that no one can tell the difference.

After temporarily tucking the two little ones into the ball, Xia Ye walked out of the restroom and went to the loading and unloading area.

Having successfully blended into the group of porters, Natsuno lifted a box and headed towards the ship.

When he picked up the box, he suddenly realized that the feel and weight were a bit strange.

Without showing any outward expression, Xia Ye secretly instructed the system to perform a scan.

[Scanning... The box contains 5 Pikachu, all of which are asleep]

Natsuno instantly understood: Sure enough, this was the ship Team Rocket used specifically for transporting cargo!

Carrying boxes, they followed the workers onto the ship and, under the watchful eyes of the sailors, moved their goods into the cargo hold.

Throughout the journey, Natsuno used the corner of his eye to observe the distribution of the sailors.

After making three trips back and forth, Natsuno finally seized his opportunity.

In a blind spot, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Natsuno instantly transformed into the attire of a sailor on a ship.

Gently patting his aching lower back, Natsuno began 'patrolling' the boat.

When they encountered other sailors on the way, Natsuno nodded to them in acknowledgment, thus concealing his identity.

As Natsuno moved around the boat, he suddenly heard a "click".

Looking in the direction of the sound, a hook was tightly wedged into a gap in the railing, and it seemed to be connected to a rope below.

Xia Ye walked in that direction without making a sound.

The next second, Akane, wearing a red hat and climbing up the rope, met Natsuno's eyes.

Both of them stared wide-eyed, but Crimson's fighting instincts were clearly faster.

Just as Natsuno was about to speak, the bright red ball was thrown at his face.

The crimson-red fast swimmer rushed towards Natsuno, and Natsuno's instinctive reaction finally kicked in.

He quickly stepped back, missed his target, and swiftly grabbed the railing.

With a forceful movement, his body landed on the boat, and at the same time, he began to gather strength.

Natsuno didn't know which technique he would use for fast swimming, but he was sure it would make quite a commotion.

He quickly removed the disguise from his face and lowered his voice: "Kuaiyong, it's me!"

Kuaiyong was somewhat surprised to see the sailor's face suddenly transform into Natsuno's.

Meanwhile, Akane climbed up the rope in those few seconds and immediately saw Natsuno's true face.

At this moment, Quickstroke's hypnotic spell was about to be fully charged, and Crimson whispered the command: "Turn around!"

Kuaiyong obeyed and turned his body, releasing hypnotic energy towards the bow of the boat.

It hit a sailor who was on patrol, whose eyes darted around, and he immediately dropped to the ground.

Natsuno stepped forward and helped Akane up. Akane looked surprised and asked, "Natsuno-nii, what are you doing here?"

"A sailor just saw me. Did you take care of him?"

Xia Ye shook his head and quickly ran to the unlucky guy who had just been hypnotized, signaling Akane to lend a hand and carry the unlucky guy away.

In a cramped cabin, the two men stripped off the sailors' clothes and put on the crimson ones.
