Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

Receiving an angry comment from Z2 made Natsuno feel much better.

"There's no time like the present, let's do it right now, right here, I'll just record a video and say it."

Seeing the two doctors staring at him with serious expressions, Natsuno's voice gradually softened.

"The important thing is to publish the theory. Publishing it online is fine, as everyone can see it."

Seeing that the two doctors still had serious expressions, Natsuno raised his hands in surrender.

"It's not that I don't want to, but the Rockets have sent people to monitor me, and Giovanni is coming in person in a couple of days."

"They said there's something important to arrange, but I'm not sure about the schedule."

"Alright, alright, you two give me an explanation, and I'll try my best to find an opportunity."

Only then did Daiki remove the serious expression from his face and nod.

"That's more like it. Your theory is revolutionary, we must be prepared."

"The committee has already discussed it. The usual place, our alma mater, Yuhong University, we've already notified them."

"As for the timing, that depends on your next steps. The committee members have already begun their journey to Kanto."

"We'll work around your schedule; the academic presentation will start as soon as you arrive."

Xia Ye was extremely flustered and stammered, "This, this, this can't be, can it? Make all the doctors wait for me?"

Oki smiled and patted Natsuno on the shoulder.

"It was a unanimous decision by the committee, so you don't need to feel pressured. Everyone here has their own business to attend to."

"However, since the specific timing is uncertain beforehand, we will not make any announcements."

The two PhDs suddenly adopted a playful, childlike expression: "We've been quietly unleashing a powerful move that will shock netizens for a whole year!"

Xia Ye was dumbfounded: He didn't know if netizens were shocked, but he was definitely shocked.

He shrugged helplessly: "Since everyone has made up their minds, let's leave it at that."

"Hopefully, Giovanni isn't planning anything big next, since Mewtwo hasn't even been released yet."

...

Meanwhile, in her hotel room, Naz answered the phone; it was Giovanni first.

Naz remained expressionless, her tone devoid of any emotion: "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up with Sakaki, Naza got up to leave, but then her phone rang again.

Upon seeing the caller ID, Naz's heart tightened: it was Director Yan. Had anything changed?

When the call connected, Naz asked with a smile, "Director Yan, what's up?"

"Na-Zi, when are you coming back to the set? Everyone's waiting for you."

Hearing that the other person's tone wasn't as gentle as usual, Naz's heart skipped a beat: "This, Director..."

Unexpectedly, the other party spoke first. Although his tone was very calm, Naz was still terrified.

"Naza, the female lead has repeatedly left the production crew, and the investors are putting pressure on me."

"This afternoon, the investors hope to see you on set and continue filming until the end."

"Otherwise, the investors have the right to replace the female lead, and I have no say in it. You'd better watch yourself."

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone, leaving Naz's heart pounding and her frozen in place.

After recently becoming a top influencer, she has gained a deeper understanding of the intricacies of the entertainment industry.

I know perfectly well that Director Yan is the kind of powerful figure who can make all the decisions and who is beyond the reach of investors.

But since the other party had said that, how could Naz dare not take it seriously?

It's obvious that Director Yan also has some issues with him, and he's just using the investor's name as an excuse.

It is foreseeable that if he does not return, Director Yan will be furious, and his Hollywood career will probably be over.

How can someone who offended Director Yan still expect to make it in Hollywood?

Sabrina rubbed her temples: So, the Rockets, or Hollywood?

Just as she was struggling with this decision, Sakaki initiated another communication.

Upon connecting, Sakaki's first words made Naz's pupils shrink: "Naz, you'd be perfect for Hollywood."

"But I want to tell you something first. The schedule that Karuni announced that day did not include your film crew."

"Not to mention why a big star would suddenly go to the remote location where the extras are."

"Among all the extras present that day, were you really the one who best fits Karuni's description?"

With each word Sakaki spoke, Naza's heart trembled a little more.

"Naza, I've known you for several years, and you've done a lot for the organization. This is my last piece of advice to you."

"As for Natsuno, I've never fully trusted him. I wish you all the best in your Hollywood endeavors."

Sakaki hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking, and Natsume was breathing rapidly.

After a long while, as if she had made a decision, Naz got up and went out.

Meanwhile, the two PhDs in the research lab finally turned their attention to other things.

"Hey, this little guy has evolved too, he looks much more energetic now."

Da Mu checked on Xiao Yuan's condition, tapped the little guy's hard outer membrane, and it made a crisp sound.

After evolving to the final stage, Xiaoyuan's arms became somewhat cumbersome.

Because the outer membrane is hard, it can only keep the hands open on both sides of the body, which is inconvenient, not to mention that.

The main problem is that it's tiring; the little guy has to expend more of his superpowers to keep going.

With the repeated infusions of ice, the little guy has now reached level 50, and his energy consumption is even greater.

This means the little guy now needs to stay inside his Poké Ball to conserve energy and can no longer roam freely outside.

Xiao Cai is level 44 and Xiao Huan is level 36. Overall, Xia Ye is still at the level of a dojo apprentice.

However, this is a very difficult position to become a dojo apprentice, the final hurdle before becoming the dojo master.

After all, this unscrupulous researcher had already mastered Ice's method of using mental attacks during combat to disrupt the opponent's mind.

At that moment, Natsuno's phone rang; it was a call from Nazu.

Natsuno was puzzled. Had Tsukirin not reminded Karuni? Had she forgotten?

When the call connected, Naz's voice was completely flat.

"Natsuno, where is he?"

Chapter 256 Sabrina's Choice

"Ah, I'm in Devon, Dark Grey City. What's up?"

Natsuno was a little confused: Didn't Takenori remind Karuni to put pressure on them?

Why didn't Sabrina go back to Hollywood? Did she give up Hollywood for the Rockets? That can't be right.

Naz's tone was devoid of any emotion: "It's best if I protect you for the next couple of days. Should I come to find you or should you come to me?"

Natsuno glanced at the lab, which seemed to be alright for the time being: "Ah, I'll come find you."

After receiving the reply "Kureba Beach," Natsuno hung up the phone.

Why am I destined to be a workaholic?

Once in the car, Xia Ye opened the news and searched for information related to Hollywood.

An urgent headline caught my eye: "Director Yan announces change of female lead in new film; Nazi replaced?"

With the popularity soaring, Natsuno was dumbfounded: "So Naz gave up her Hollywood career?"

Unfortunately, the person in question wasn't there, so no one could answer his question.

As soon as the car arrived at the dead leaf beach and the door was opened, the sweltering sea breeze blew in, and sweat instantly poured out.

At this moment, Xiao Cai's eyes were only on the ice cream truck by the roadside, and she pulled Xia Ye towards it.

After queuing for several minutes, the man and his dog left satisfied, each holding a three-flavor ice cream in one hand and the other in the other.

Following the direction Nazja indicated, Natsuno found Nazja wandering aimlessly on the beach.

The latter was also dressed in sunglasses and a mask; now, gossip reporters all over the world are probably looking for her.

As Natsuno walked over, she didn't forget to use both hands simultaneously, trying to get both ice creams at the same time.

When Naza saw Xiao Cai, who looked like an ordinary Tutu dog under the mask, she was a little uncertain.

Xia Ye simply pulled his mask down, and his sun hat further obscured part of his facial features, so no one recognized him for the time being.

"If any jealous netizens try to beat me up, you'll protect me, right, Lady Sabrina?"

Naza crossed her arms and glanced at him, saying, "Hard to say, I also kind of want to punch you."

Upon hearing this, Natsuno suddenly felt that the ice cream in her hand no longer tasted good.

Seeing that Xiao Cai had just finished eating the last bite of the crispy cone, he quickly handed the one in his hand to the colorful puppy.

The little guy was overjoyed and gave Xia Ye a kiss on the cheek before grabbing Xia Ye's ice cream and devouring it.

Natsuno wiped the ice cream stains off her face and put her mask back on.

I immediately felt safe and confident again.

You could say he dares to go out without underwear now, but he would absolutely not dare to go out without a mask.

The people of Guandu are simple and honest, and their addiction to wild fighting is no joke; they are all full of martial spirit.

As long as they believe that Natsuno has already captured Articuno, their jealousy will not stop.

Natsuno felt uneasy when he saw Natsumi looking at him with the same eyes she would give her prey.

He quickly tried to divert attention: "What's going on in Hollywood? Have you given up your Hollywood career?"

Naza's gaze lingered on Natsuno's eyes for the last time before she turned away and said, "Let's go for a walk."
