Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

Upon hearing this, Shark immediately became interested.

How can you resist the thrill of combat?

Xiao Cai then looked at Xia Ye and said, "Tulu, Tulu Tulu (Xia Ye, we're going to train!)!"

Natsuno nodded seriously, looking at Gadria, who was scrolling through videos and grinning foolishly on the sofa.

"Xiaoya, you should go too, give Xiaoyuan some special training, so that Xiaoyuan can absorb more superpowers."

"I'll be better able to protect myself if I improve my strength. Sakaki and the old man are really strong in the main force."

Cattleya was initially angry because of Natsuno's way of addressing her, but Takenori gently patted her shoulder.

"Please go, Xiaoya, I'm counting on you."

As the saying goes, one thing subdues another, and as soon as Zhu Lan spoke, Jia Deliya went running off eagerly.

The three little ones on Natsuno's body all followed the young lady and Shark to the next-door battle training room.

After thinking for a moment, Cynthia called over her other Pokémon to serve as training partners and gave them a workout.

Coming back to his senses, Natsuno refocused his attention on the screen, trying to analyze the origins of those scattered base pairs.

The blonde beauty sat down next to Natsuno, and a faint fragrance wafted into his nose.

Turning his head, he saw the blonde beauty propping her head up and smiling at him.

"What's wrong, Ono? Are you always this unfocused when you're doing research?"

Looking at that pretty face, Xia Ye reached out as if possessed and tucked a stray strand of hair from Zhu Lan's forehead behind her ear.

The moment their fingers touched each other's ears, they felt as if they had been electrocuted, and Natsuno quickly withdrew his hand.

My eyes returned to the screen in front of me, as if nothing had just happened.

But they didn't see the blonde beauty's face at that moment, when her ears started to burn and her blush spread across her entire face.

Ah, life is so short, we can't help but appreciate beautiful things for a while longer.

Chapter 297 For the sake of how well we know each other...

Zhu Lan's face was as red as a ripe apple. She lowered her head quietly and did not respond.

Feeling a surge of joy: Well, beautiful things, how wonderful.

This led her to not notice that Natsuno was randomly clicking on the screen, while the latter was completely flustered.

Xia Ye's eyes were glazed over: What's wrong with my hand? What's wrong with my mouth?

Natsuno, you weren't like this before! This isn't right, is it?

While the bamboo orchid is indeed strong and beautiful, and quite capable in research, although it suffers from some decision-making difficulties, its indecisive look is also adorably cute...

Stop, stop!

Xia Ye shook his head repeatedly, refocusing his attention on the gene analysis in front of him.

With a casual glance, he immediately spotted the key point.

"Wait a minute, these scattered base pairs partially overlap with the Dragon Dance gene sequence!"

Xia Ye's eyes widened, and he immediately initiated the segment comparison analysis.

A few seconds later, the results came back: 'All the base sequences of the former were found to have corresponding sequences in the latter.'

Preliminary estimates suggest that the former is a fragmentation result of the latter.

The former consists of those scattered base pairs, while the latter is the complete Dragon Dance gene!

Ignoring everything else, Natsuno tugged at the blonde beauty's hand and pointed at the screen: "Quick, look!"

Zhu Lan's face was still flushed, but seeing Xia Ye's appearance, her attention quickly turned to the screen.

“Look, there are incomplete, unidentified base pairs on Shark’s body, which are highly similar to fragments of Dragon Dance.”

"It can be speculated that this may be the gene of the Dragon Dance, but we don't know what happened that caused the gene to be broken and incomplete."

The system suddenly popped up a notification.

[Quest Chain: Exploring the Hidden Path, content update. What's the deal with the missing base pairs in Garchomp's move set?]

What does the high degree of overlap between the missing base pairs and the Dragon Dance gene fragment indicate? Why does this result occur?

[Please continue to advance; influence points are being continuously distributed.]

The system notification didn't catch Xia Ye's attention; he fell into deep thought.

"Assuming this is the incomplete gene of Dragon Dance, how about we try performing a gene repair directly?"

"Let's use this gene to operate first, repair it, cultivate it, and see what happens."

Without hesitation, Xia Ye got to work.

Unexpectedly, a red notification popped up in the center of the screen.

Warning: Due to unknown factors, modification of the target gene fragment is unavailable. Please try again!

Xia Ye's eyes widened; this was the first time he had ever seen this prompt.

Zhu Lan noticed this situation and frowned slightly.

Natsuno didn't care about any of that and tried to make the changes again.

But after the same pop-up appeared five times in a row, Natsuno gave up.

With a thought, Natsuno slid to other moves and modified them, his goal being to inherit the moves' genes.

Natsuno tentatively modified the gene of one of the moves, but found it to be unusually smooth, without any obstacles at all.

Delete all four of Shark's genetic move genes, then add them all back, and then delete half of them or replace the base pairs.

The whole process was incredibly smooth, without any obstacles whatsoever.

Xia Ye frowned and returned to editing the incomplete fragment, but a prompt immediately popped up saying that it could not be done.

Natsuno looked at the Sandstorm skill gene next to him and clicked to modify it.

To Natsuno's astonishment, the technique gene was successfully deleted without any error message.

Natsuno then manipulated the genes of other techniques as well, and after a few minutes, he came to a conclusion.

"This incomplete technique gene cannot be modified, while other technique genes can be manipulated at will."

"I've never seen anything like this before. What on earth happened to the Garchomp horde?"

At this moment, Zhu Lan was staring at Xia Ye's profile, lost in thought, and didn't hear what Xia Ye was saying at all.

Natsuno noticed this scene when he turned his head, but didn't pay any attention to it.

Since we're so close, I'll let you see more of the handsome face that everyone in the town agrees on.

For some reason, Natsuno suddenly felt a wonderful mood.

I couldn't help but shake my head slightly, and then I noticed a movement coming from above my head. My scalp felt a little tight, as if I was being hugged.

At that moment, Natsuno suddenly remembered that there was a Z2 above his head.

Still using his superpower, he poked his belly: 'Little Blue, tell me what happened to the Garchomps, quick, it's urgent!'

However, Z2 remained enigmatic: 'You'll have to figure it out yourself; I can't tell you.'

Natsuno really wanted to slap Z2, but she was also a little reluctant to bully this big green jelly.

'Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, if you don't want to tell me, then don't. But since we're so close, could you give me a hint?'

Z2 flicked its tail lightly: 'Fine, all I can tell you is that this is something that cannot be observed with the naked eye or even a microscope.'

Such a sophisticated expression immediately made Natsuno think: 'You mean the power of authority?'

However, Z2 remained silent, as if it hadn't said anything at all.

But silence is also an answer, Natsuno tentatively continued to ask, as if coaxing a child.

'If you don't answer, I'll take that as a yes. Guardians of Order can't lie.'

Z2 remained motionless, and its body returned to calm.

Natsuno stared blankly, 'Holy crap, can the power of authority interfere with genes?'

'No wonder Fuji and the others couldn't create Mewtwo; they probably really need the power of authority as a catalyst.'

'Then I'm even less in a hurry. Giovanni has no chance of getting his hands on items that grant him authority. And the old man might not even know anything about authority.'

Although he was secretly pleased, this did not contribute to Shark's research on Dragon Dance.

"So, it seems that even using a gene-editing device wouldn't be able to modify these incomplete genes. This is a problem."

This statement was actually agreed upon by Z2, who then encouraged Natsuno.

Xia Ye felt his fists harden: I'm furious right now.

At this moment, the blonde beauty finally snapped out of her daze, her eyes darting away, unable to look at Natsuno.

Suddenly, Natsuno thought of something and gave a wicked smile.

"Zhu Lan, since we're so close, I'll show you a real treasure!"

The blonde beauty's eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, and she could barely speak.

"Huh? This, this, I, I'm not ready yet, is this inappropriate?"

Seeing that Zhu Lan's face had turned red again, Xia Ye reached out and placed the Guardian directly on his lap.

Xia's Eighteen Massage Techniques Special Attack on Little Blue, now in action!

After a barrage of massages and tickling, Z2 couldn't help but laugh out loud and could no longer maintain its stealth.

At this moment, Zhu Lan lowered her head and turned her body to the side, not daring to look at Xia Ye.

While massaging Z2, Natsuno gestured to the blonde beauty.

"Zhu Lan, come and see! This is a treasure you've never seen before."

"It's also soft and fun."
