Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

“March has not returned yet. I’m sending Naza to protect you. Your feathers cannot be damaged.”

"I'll come see you in a couple of days. Just treat the rest of the time as a vacation."

After saying that, Sakaki hung up the phone.

"Natsuno, although I don't know what you want to do, I can't let you have your way so easily."

"Silver's side is in a stalemate, and perhaps Articuno's feathers can be the key to breaking the deadlock."

"Makoto, call Natsumi and tell her to keep an eye on Natsuno."

Zhenniao nodded and quickly began operating.

On the other side, Natsuno was about to say something to refuse when Sakaki hung up the phone.

An angry Natsuno cursed, "What evil are you up to, old man? You're always trying to exploit my labor."

"What can you do if I just hide? Without the Ice Crystal Feather, you can't create Mewtwo; you'll still have to beg me."

Then he realized that Sakaki had sent Sabrina to follow him, which was clearly to monitor him.

While feeling resentful, an idea suddenly came to mind: "That's right, have Zhu Lan ask Karuni to get the Hollywood director to put pressure on Naz!"

"I forced Nazja to choose between the Rockets and her acting career, and then I gave her a couple more words of advice."

"If Sabrina doesn't give up on the Rockets now, wouldn't that make me happy?"

Without hesitation, Natsuno called Takeran again, but she was in her office dealing with some business.

Upon hearing Natsuno's thoughts, Takeran gave a somewhat resentful look: "Sigh. I didn't expect that."

"Ono contacted me first, and it was about another girl. Why are you so concerned about that?"

Natsuno's expression was serious: "Team Rocket intends to overthrow the world, and the arrangement of Sabrina is to weaken Team Rocket's fighting force."

"For the sake of world peace, we must do this, so that Naz can stay in Hollywood and develop her career in peace!"

Zhu Lan burst out laughing: "Good, good, good, Dr. Natsuno cares about the whole world, he's a savior, so amazing."

After Zhu Lan teased Xia Ye a few more times, the call ended.

Natsuno wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know why, but I always feel that Zhu Lan's gaze is strange. Is it just my imagination?

Never mind, it's not important. Since Sakaki said he wouldn't be here for another two days, let's rest for a while first.

At this moment, A-du, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and came back, as if he remembered that he had something to say.

"Oh right, Natsuno, Professor Oak told you to go to Devon first if you haven't gone back to Team Rocket yet."

"It seems to be about a theory. The committee unanimously believes that it would be more appropriate for you to announce it in person."

Natsuno fell silent, turning his head to look at his right shoulder, where the invisible Z2 was sitting.

To avoid developing uneven shoulders, Natsuno deliberately had Z2 sit on both shoulders alternately, so that everyone could get a fair share.

Z2, who was invisible, noticed Natsuno's gaze and met his eyes, but did not speak.

In the silence, Natsuno noticed that Z2 seemed to turn around.

Natsuno turned around and could vaguely see Joey and the others giving the dragons physical examinations.

Their faces were all beaming with smiles, and you could feel their joy even from a distance.

At that moment, Z2's voice echoed in Natsuno's mind again: 'I'm starting to believe in humanity now.'

Seeing that there was no further news, Natsuno strode out.

"Then let's tell everyone the true secrets of evolution!"

What a melodramatic plot in Chapter 253!

"Adu, please make arrangements to give me a ride!"

As soon as Xia Ye finished speaking, his clothes were tugged a few times. Xiao Cai jumped in front of him and waved vigorously.

"Tulu tulu tulu (I can fly, I want to fly)!"

At this moment, Xiao Cai imitated Xia Ye's usual manner, showing off her arm muscles and pounding her chest with her fist to show 'trust me'!

Seeing the colorful puppy trying so hard to volunteer, it wasn't good to dampen the child's enthusiasm.

He could understand that feeling. Come on, if you've already learned to fly but don't fly out every day, how will anyone know you can fly?

If no one knows you can fly, then all your learning to fly has been for nothing?

Just like how, after getting an electric scooter, people would ride it even to a small shop that's only a dozen meters away.

Xia Ye patted the colorful puppy's head: "Okay, then you can fly over there with it!"

A-Du looked at him with a suspicious gaze: "The fallen leaves are dark gray, and the flight distance is not short."

"Moreover, ordinary people are prohibited from flying in the city and have to go to the suburban airport."

"On another note, Natsuno, I reckon you don't have a pilot's license, right? Flying without a license will get you arrested!"

Xia Ye raised her hand to stop the other person: "You're talking too much. That's enough, you don't need to read anymore."

After comforting the somewhat disappointed Xiaocai, Xia Ye quietly leaned close to Adu's ear after getting up.

"Is there a special channel where people can just show up and get their certificates without having to do anything?"

"If I could just get a pilot's license without having to be present, that would be even better."

A-Du's expression was serious, and the way he looked at Natsuno was as if he were looking at a criminal or a scumbag.

"Putting everything else aside, you're a public figure, everyone's watching you, how could you do something like this?"

"As for safety, you're playing with your own and your Pokémon's safety! Impossible!"

“I’ll have someone keep a close eye on you. The Twin Islands incident was an exception, I didn’t see it, but it won’t be the same after that!”

Natsuno raised his hands high, indicating his surrender.

"Yes, Lord Adu, I understand. I am a law-abiding citizen and I will work hard to get my license."

Xiao Cai nodded earnestly, "Tulu Tulu (I will supervise carefully)!"

In order to gain her own freedom of flight, Xiao Cai has decided to urge Xia Ye to do a practice test for the driving theory test every day.

When we get back, I'll have Xia Ye enroll in flight school so he can get his license as soon as possible!

Seeing Xiaocai's suddenly determined look, Xia Ye felt that something was wrong.

But what's meant to happen will happen, and Natsuno had no choice but to accept it.

Since he couldn't fly there, Natsuno had to take the car arranged by Watari to Dewen.

Putting on the mask and sunglasses provided in the car, Xia Ye got out of the car and headed straight for the office building.

But the employees coming in and out of the building were walking hurriedly, their faces full of worry.

Xia Ye felt somewhat puzzled: Why do all the people from Dewen look so gloomy after not coming for a while?

Upon arriving at Daigo's office floor, I found it to be quite deserted, unlike its usual state.

Natsuno tilted his head: "No, I went to the wrong place?"

I went back to the elevator and checked: "I've been coming to this floor every day before, this is the right place, isn't it?"

If she couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't think about it anymore. Natsuno simply dialed Daigo's number.

The first thing the latter said was, "It's being done, it's being done, don't rush me!"

As if by conditioned reflex, Natsuno found it both funny and absurd.

But Natsuno keenly noticed a hint of anxiety in Daigo's tone, and was somewhat surprised.

"Daigo, aren't you in your office? I can't find you."

The latter was taken aback, looked up and glanced around: "I'm in the office, where are you?"

Then Daigo suddenly remembered that his office had been moved here after the research building was put into use, something Natsuno didn't know.

Following Daigo's instructions, Natsuno arrived at the research building and reached Daigo's office.

Daigo's eyes were bloodshot and his face was etched with exhaustion. He stood up, nodded, and then sat back down in his office chair.

Natsuno felt something was off and couldn't help but ask, "Daigo-san, what's wrong with you guys?"

"When I arrived, I could tell that the people below were in a great hurry and all of them looked worried."

Daigo was taken aback: "You didn't know? It's from the recent news."

He then nodded and said, "That's right. You've been busy with other things lately, so you probably haven't been paying much attention to this."

"You know the Silver Group, right? It's a powerful local conglomerate in Kanto, and it's also top-tier in technology."

"They recently announced a new project, a new concept for Poké Balls."

Daigo operated the computer for a while, remotely projecting the information from the screen onto the wall.

Natsuno was stunned when he saw it: "A Master Ball that can theoretically be caught with absolute certainty?!"

He's talking nonsense. How could a Master Ball really exist in the real world? Is that right?

Xia Ye was puzzled and scratched his head: "Putting aside the question of whether it can be achieved, I'm curious about another aspect."

"Even if Silver really does pull off a Masterball, how could it affect you?"

Daigo gave a wry smile, shook his head, and looked utterly helpless.

"Originally, it wasn't really related to us, since we've assessed the cost of the Masterball and it's definitely extremely high."

"It is highly unlikely that it will impact the status of other Poké Balls. There may be some changes, but not significant ones."

"That's the key point."

Daigo adjusted the search keywords again, and another news item appeared on the displayed page.

"Device's former chief Poké Ball designer, along with his students and followers, has joined Silvercorp?"

"what?"

Natsuno's mouth was agape: Is that right?
