Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

Rolling is faster than walking! Little Yuan gave it a thumbs up!

Squirtle crawled out of its shell and stood there staring at Charmander.

Charmander, having rapidly depleted its energy through continuous attacks, is also keeping a close eye on Squirtle.

At this point, both Pokémon on the field were panting heavily, and their bodies showed numerous injuries.

Natsuno speculated that whoever was hit by the other's move would fall to the ground, and the battle would come to a decisive moment.

The atmosphere in the room froze, and Natsuno couldn't help but break out in a sweat.

Soon, Qinglv gave the first order.

"Squirtle, use Water Gun! Charmander, use Ember!"

Yes, you heard right, Blue Green gave commands to both Pokémon directly.

Upon hearing the command, Charmander did not hesitate and immediately condensed fire-attribute energy in its mouth.

Xia Ye's mouth dropped open as she recalled the issue she had discussed with Qing Lü.

Pokémon bred in breeding farms are very friendly to humans and will generally obey anyone's commands from the start, even those of their rivals.

The new trainer was only temporarily assigned these Pokémon by chance, and still needs to spend time developing a rapport with them and establishing a true bond.

Natsuno couldn't help but want to give Aomori a thumbs up.

Okay, okay, is this how you give instructions?

Little Green, I reckon there'll be a free-fighting match later, and Crimson is waiting for you outside the research institute!

At first, Red gave Green very strange commands. Who did you think you were, ordering other people's Pokémon around?

But when he saw Charmander begin to gather fire-attribute energy just a second later, Crimson was stunned.

Both sides had completed their moves and collided directly.

The water gun shattered the sparks, its momentum undiminished, and struck the little fire dragon directly.

"Little Charmander, come on! Get up!"

Crimson's anxious cries were heard by Green, who shook her head.

"You're wasting your energy; Charmander can't withstand the last attack..."

Inside the arena, despite being hit by the final water gun attack, Charmander did not fall down; instead, he lunged forward and knelt on one knee.

Using its claws to support its body, it struggled to stand up, its movements slow yet determined.

Green swallowed her words, staring wide-eyed at the little fire dragon's stubborn gaze.

Crimson then gave the final command: "Charmander, Ancient Power!"

Just as the little dragon was gathering energy, Green came to its senses: "Quick, get out of the way!"

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Charmander already has all his stats boosted and his attack range expanded, but Green Command is a second slower.

"boom!"

After a cloud of dust, Squirtle, unable to dodge in time, fell to the ground, its eyes turning into circles.

"How is this possible?"

Green looked at its Squirtle and the Charmander standing proudly in the arena, its face full of disbelief.

The spectators and referees in the corridor stared wide-eyed, their eyes shining, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

So exciting! So exciting! Twists and turns!

Being able to witness this battle of the strongest is worth the price of admission, even if I die this time!

Suddenly remembering that he was still the referee, Natsuno walked back to the center of the field and announced the verdict.

"Squirtle is down and can't get up. Red has won this battle!"

Professor Oak slowly walked out from the other side of the corridor.

Nothing is impossible!

"Little Green, you've listened to me talk about entanglements with you since you were little, but I never thought you still wouldn't understand."

"You have a long road ahead of you, and I hope you will remember this defeat."

Green put Squirtle into the ball and looked at Red: "You were lucky this time, but I'll definitely win next time!"

(Qinglv used harsh words!)

He then quickly left. Natsuno called for him to get treatment first, but he didn't even turn around and said, "I'm going to the Pokémon Center in town."

"Well done, Charmander! Come back now!"

With a flash of red light, Crimson put away the little fire dragon and asked Natsuno to treat it.

Professor Oak then approached Red and showered him with praise.

"Child, you are very good. Even in battles with the opposite attribute, you can turn the tide with the help of your carried items. You remain calm in the face of danger during battle."

"With boundless trust in Pokémon, perhaps Pallet Town will produce another Champion Trainer."

After finishing the treatment, Natsuno returned Charmander to Red, secretly chuckling to himself: Yes, and both of them are champions, although Green had the shortest reign, haha.

Seeing Professor Oak leave, Natsuno jogged after Red and stuffed the two boxes of Power Cubes from his pocket into his hand.

"This is a special sponsorship. If you only focus on battles and don't provide the necessary nutrition afterward, your Pokémon won't grow. Here you go."

At first, Akane wanted to decline, but then she suddenly remembered that her mother had said that things were often given away for free at the Oak Laboratory (actually, Natsuno used to give out peas), so she shouldn't be polite.

After expressing his gratitude, Crimson accepted the gift, secretly keeping in mind this intermediate researcher who had shown him such inexplicable kindness.

After seeing Red off, Natsuno led his two Pokémon toward the laboratory.

The battle was still lingering in my mind, and I couldn't stop thinking about it.

I glanced through the window and saw that the lights were off and Professor Oak wasn't there.

Natsuno thought: The professor is probably in his office. I should go and discuss with him when it would be better to go to Evergreen to see Sakaki.

He turned and headed towards the office.

"Clang~"

A strange noise suddenly came from the laboratory, and Natsuno stopped in his tracks.

Slowly retreating back to the window, I discovered that there were figures moving around inside.

Xia Ye quickly opened the door and went inside, slamming his hand on the light switch.

The lab lights snapped on, and Natsuno roared, "Don't move!"

"Stealing from Oak's lab? How dare you!"

Chapter 32 A Thief Broke into the Lab, It's Azure

As Xia Ye roared and started to fight, a series of clanging and clattering sounds echoed in the laboratory.

And then a woman's voice cried out in pain: "Ouch!"

The first thing Natsuno noticed when he entered was that the third starter Poké Ball on the table was missing.

Considering the potential danger, Natsuno thought for a moment and then held the small, hard outer membrane in his hand, which was so hard it could crush a stone without being damaged.

He raised Xiaoyuan above his head with his right hand, making a grenade-throwing preparation gesture like in a shooting game, and then had Xiaocai follow behind him on his left.

"Xiaoyuan, after I throw you out, you don't need to worry about anything, just use your telekinesis! Just cover your own body."

"Xiao Cai, sketch Xiao Yuan immediately. You are the main force. Use your telekinesis to control the opponent, no matter who it is."

Within 5 seconds, Xia Ye arranged a simple battle plan and quickly walked towards the location where the commotion had just occurred.

On the other side of the laboratory, there are no low windows, only a skylight that is nearly 2 meters high.

When Natsuno arrived, he found the skylight open and a broken rope hanging there.

Below the skylight, there was a huge pile of clutter, and it seemed that a person was trapped inside.

Seeing the various boxes and planks in the pile of junk, Natsuno made a rough guess.

The other party entered through the skylight from the outside. They were originally using a rope to lower themselves down, but the rope broke, so they could only try to climb up by stacking boxes on top of each other from the inside.

He handed the small circle to Xiao Cai, indicating that she should throw it away if anything went wrong, and then use her mental power to control it.

Natsuno began clearing away the pile of debris, trying to find the thief.

After tidying up, a young girl appeared before him. It was...

Brown hair with a seductive look

The ball was hidden in his chest as a trap.

Quirky and clever

After seeing that the thief was a 1.6-meter-tall girl, Natsuno did not let her guard down: "Hands up! You're under arrest."

The girl sat up, tears welling in her eyes, her nose twitching slightly, her hands supporting her on the ground, looking utterly pitiful.

"I twisted my ankle, kind big brother, please help me up."

Natsuno carefully examined the other person's face, and a warning bell rang in his mind: There's no mistake, it must be Azure!

Thinking of the Bulbasaur ball that had disappeared from the table, and carefully observing the area around Azure, there was no trace of a Poké Ball anywhere.

I also noticed that the other person was wearing a dress, which didn't look like it had pockets.

Even when the Poké Ball is shrunk, it will bulge slightly when placed on your person, but no similar shape was found anywhere on Azure's body.

When Natsuno finally noticed the unusually large size of Bilan's chest, which was clearly beyond her years, she took a big step back, as if facing a formidable enemy.

He remembered Azur Lane's classic moves from the special manga episode he had read before.

Hiding a ball in his chest, he pretends to be harmless and shows weakness to the enemy. When the enemy gets close, he suddenly attacks, releases a Pokémon, and defeats the enemy in one fell swoop!

Seeing Natsuno take a big step back, Bilan's body trembled slightly, tears finally streamed down her face, and she began to sob softly.

"Waaaaah, my ankle hurts so much! Why is no one willing to help me? Brother, how can you be so heartless?"
