Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

As Xia Ye narrated, everyone held their breath, not daring to blink.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the gene sequences in all the above stages are completely identical and have not changed."

Some people frowned at this point: If there's no change, then why is Xia Ye showing these gene sequences?

Xia Ye then clicked, and the two gene segments on the screen were enlarged and displayed.

"Everyone, although the gene sequence has not changed, some content has changed."

"Do you remember what I said before? How do genes reflect individual traits?"

Upon hearing someone answer from the audience, Xia Ye snapped his fingers and nodded approvingly: "That's right, gene expression."

"Everyone, this is the key point. Please look at the gene comparison between the caterpillar and the armored pupa."

"Due to changes in some base pairs, all aspects of the shape, including properties, have been altered."

"The same applies to the evolution from Metapoda to Butterfly."

Natsuno's voice unconsciously rose in pitch: "This is what I'm going to report today, a new theory of evolution."

"Evolution is a deep expression of Pokémon's genes."

Aside from the PhD students in the first row, everyone in the audience fell silent, speechless with astonishment.

Even the continuous stream of comments in the live stream stopped.

Some researchers, realizing what was happening, loudly questioned, "What about evolution stones? What about communicative evolution?"

Some people in the live stream were also awakened by the shouts.

[Right, how do you explain the evolution of intimacy?]

[Has Natsuno gone mad with his genetic research? How is evolution related to genes?]

"So, what about the bond between me and Umbreon? It's just genetic expression, right? The bond is fake?"

Many people looked agitated and stood up to raise their questions loudly.

"What is this bond? Is it just a self-indulgent expression by humans? Does the bond no longer exist?"

Chapter 289 Gene-Environment-Entanglement: The Trinity Theory

At this moment, only the PhD students in the first row remained unmoved, as steady as mountains.

Those familiar with Natsuno, such as Daigo and the others, remained motionless, their expressions expectant.

At this moment, Gadriya glared fiercely at the people around her who stood up and loudly questioned Natsuno, her expression furious.

Zhu Lan gently patted the young lady's arm, signaling her to focus on the stands and not be distracted.

The superpowered young lady was indignant: "I didn't question Xia Ye, so why are they questioning him?"

"You interrupted before Natsuno had even finished speaking. You're so impatient. No wonder you can't compare to Natsuno in scientific research."

The audience demanded an explanation from Xia Ye, and the live stream chat exploded with discussion.

However, many people also noticed the professors in the first row who remained as steady as Mount Tai, with Professor Oak even having a smile on his face.

All the PhDs seemed oblivious to the commotion behind them, waiting quietly.

[Please don't be impatient, everyone. The academic content has definitely been submitted to the committee for review first. Do you think the doctoral students are fools?]

I don't know if the professors are idiots, but I hope we don't treat everyone like idiots. Natsuno, please explain yourself!

Natsuno remained calm on stage. He had expected to be questioned, but he hadn't anticipated that almost the entire venue would be filled with doubts.

If things are like this offline, what's there to say about online? Not to mention that most netizens will just follow the trend. I bet some people are starting to accuse me of academic fraud.

While chuckling to himself, Natsuno immediately switched to the following content.

The screen still displays two gene comparison images, but now it includes some text descriptions.

Natsuno patted the microphone, and the researchers who had been questioning him fell silent.

They're not netizens; they won't cover up someone's mouth to prevent them from defending themselves.

Seeing that the room was quiet, Xia Ye pointed to the gene analysis diagram on the screen and continued his explanation.

"Everyone, this is a comparison chart of genes before and after evolution using evolution stones, taking Growlithe as an example."

"Gene sequencing showed that their gene sequence was unchanged, but the activated bases changed."

At this moment, some researchers shut their mouths and carefully analyzed what Natsuno had said.

Soon, the researchers nodded to Natsuno and sat down again.

The number of comments about evolution stones in the online live stream was decreasing rapidly, until only a few remained in the end.

Natsuno waited another half minute before switching content.

"This is a comparison of genes before and after communication evolution, using Onix and Steelix as examples."

"Similarly, their gene sequences remained unchanged before and after evolution, but the activated bases changed."

This time, another group of researchers sat down, and the number of comments in the live stream decreased again.

However, nearly half of the audience still stood up and remained skeptical.

Xia Ye continued switching content without stopping.

"This is the highlight that everyone is paying attention to: close evolution. Take Eevee and Espeon as examples."

This time, the genetic images were more complex, and Natsuno pointed them out bit by bit.

"The gene sequence structure remains completely unchanged. Look here, at these locations, at the base pairings."

"The same situation remains; the activated base pairs have changed."

Xia Ye had a slight smile on his lips, and his voice remained steady.

"All the above data collection was carried out with the help of various doctoral research institutes, and the entire process was recorded on video."

"Whether it's evolution stones, trade evolution, or friendship evolution, a large number of volunteers were invited to observe them."

"Everyone is free to verify whether it's true or false; a lie can never become the truth."

"I would like to express my special thanks to all the PhDs for their support; without you, there would be no place like today."

Natsuno bowed to the audience, and the professors nodded in acknowledgment and began to applaud.

Those who had been questioning the situation were shocked, but they did not sit down.

Natsuno then continued his narration.

"Ladies and gentlemen, based on the various aspects just discussed, a completely new theory of evolution has been developed."

"The trinity of genes, environment, and entanglement."

"The essence of evolution is the deep expression of genes."

"Genes are the foundation of evolution, while environmental factors and constraints are also influencing factors in evolution."

Natsuno's expression turned serious, and his tone became solemn.

"Everyone, I want to clarify one point: the existence of genes is not to deny bonds. Please don't misunderstand."

"On the contrary, genes exist to demonstrate to the world the power and wonder of bonds."

Natsuno then switched to the following content, this time showing photos of the dead leaf beach and a genetic comparison chart.

"Everyone, the location in this picture is Dead Leaf Beach, which you all know is a magical place."

"Pokémon that need Water, Fire, or Lightning Evolution Stones can train here for a period of time and may even evolve directly without needing the stones."

Natsuno looked around the room again and noticed that Sakaki in the corner also looked somewhat surprised.

"My current guess about this phenomenon is that, due to the incredible nature of bonds, Pokémon have skipped evolution stones and evolved."

"However, this is just speculation, and the specifics still need to be studied. But please remember that genes exist to verify bonds."

"That concludes my report for today. Thank you for listening."

Natsuno bowed to the audience again, and the doctoral students led the applause.

At this moment, everyone present stood up and applauded Natsuno, the sound piercing the sky.

There were even more viewers online, and the live stream kept lagging.

[So it's a theory about the mysteries of evolution! My goodness! How can humans be so amazing!]

[Genetic and environmental ties, a trinity, that's evolution! I understand! Okay, I'll let you off the hook then, Natsuno, I won't use a substitute player anymore.]

[+1, I hereby declare that I will forgive Natsuno for his previous act of eating alone, and I will no longer hire a substitute player.]

[+1, I didn't realize Kanto had such a magical place. I've never heard of this before.]

That's because you're trapped in an information cocoon. The conglomerate that sells evolution stones doesn't like this kind of message being spread.

Natsuno returned to the audience amidst applause. Although he was prepared, his back was still soaked with sweat.

Z2, who had been silent until now, gloated: 'To my surprise, you weren't wrong; the humans suspected you first.'

Natsuno smiled: "Please, everyone here is a researcher; they're very meticulous, okay?"

"I was just a little impatient, but I can understand since it involves important matters."

At this moment, A-Du stood up and walked onto the stage, his expression serious, staring at the camera in the live broadcast room in front of him.

"Everyone, I am Kanto Awatari, and I am here on behalf of the Alliance on behalf of the Academic Committee and the Alliance."

"At this very moment, the laws governing gene research have been promulgated, and the alliance will hunt down any illegal research activities to the ends of the earth!"

"The League does not want any Pokémon to suffer harm because of humans; bonds are the theme between humans and Pokémon!"

After saying these meaningful words, A-du stepped off the stage.

Suddenly, a gust of hot wind swept through the auditorium, and everyone was instantly drenched in sweat.

Police officers suddenly burst in near the entrance: "Something big has come!"

Chapter 290 That despicable Xia Ye, I'll have someone deal with you...

Upon hearing this, the Kanto Kingdom's kings and kings immediately stood up.
