Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

I was completely petrified.

The onlookers burst into laughter: "No wonder it's a Gardevoir, too bad it's male. It doesn't need a male mother!"

Someone else chimed in, "We want a male mother! We want one!"

Another group didn't forget to express their disdain: "They came over without even understanding the situation, and now they're blaming Natsuno."

"They've already said it's just speculation, and it hasn't been thoroughly researched to confirm, yet you rushed over here."

"You're blaming Natsuno for not achieving results? Don't you bear any responsibility yourself?"

Amidst the public outcry, the burly man, his face flushed, put away his Gardevoir and left the beach.

Natsuno never expected that a simple boat ride would lead to the birth of such a memorable scene, and he was in a wonderful mood.

They boarded the ship and set sail again; it was still the Saint-Anne, but Maslow's eyes looked a little strange.

At this moment, Natsuno suddenly remembered Athena, whose perception had been altered, and looked at Sabrina with some suspicion.

"Naza, why did you join the Rockets?"

Chapter 304 Leave it to me, you can rest assured.

Sabrina rolled her eyes: 'They sold you to Giovanni, run! You're crazy.'

Hearing this complaint, Natsuno had the system scan him again to confirm that Natsu was normal.

Relieved, Natsuno spoke in his mind about the matter of cognitive modification.

Naza suddenly frowned: 'No wonder I've felt something's off since I came back to base these past few days.'

'Every time I pass by Giovanni's office, I feel that the superpowers around there are strange, so I haven't dared to activate them.'

'He's actually making serious revisions? Looks like he's not afraid of me coming back and causing trouble because he has this.'

Naza scoffed, her expression full of disdain, and glanced sideways at Natsuno.

'Come on, I'm a superpowered person. I can react to superpowered methods in a timely manner, okay?'

Don't treat me like a half-baked amateur. You might need me to protect you when we get back to base.

Natsuno repeatedly cupped his hands in respect.

"Yes, yes, then I'll rely on Lady Sabrina's protection. Thank you."

At that moment, Natsuno suddenly realized something: 'Wait a minute, it seems Sakaki wants to change my perception!'

'If he finds out he can't fix it, I feel like I'm in a bit of danger...'

Natsuno's mind raced as he analyzed the situation.

Even Athena, his right-hand woman, had her perceptions altered, let alone a researcher like himself who was not entirely under her control.

Perhaps Fuji has already been revised and is now wholeheartedly working for Sakaki.

With its own system protection, serious modifications are definitely not going to work. So how will Giovanni deal with it?

Natsuno felt terrified just thinking about it, but a plan immediately came to him.

'I might as well play along and pretend that my perception has been successfully altered.'

Anyway, Giovanni doesn't know I've awakened superpowers; he'll just assume I've been successfully brainwashed.

'If this continues, Sakaki might finally feel completely at ease and tell me more secrets. A good plan!'

It's all about showing unwavering loyalty to Sakaki, right? With masterful acting skills, there's nothing to be afraid of!

After Natsuno revealed his plan, he also gave Naza a detailed analysis.

"In short, you'd better pretend to have been successfully brainwashed, otherwise I'm afraid you won't stay with Sakaki for long."

"Then it's time to test your acting skills. You're not worried that your acting isn't good enough to fool Giovanni, are you?"

Although the tactic of provocation is old, it is still very effective against certain types of people.

Naz immediately got angry and sneered.

'What are you yelling about? Me, a professional Hollywood actress, wouldn't have subpar acting skills?'

"But you're right, I do need to pretend, otherwise how can Giovanni feel at ease?"

'If Sakaki wasn't at ease, how could he have ended up facing destruction?'

Seeing the anger in Naz's eyes as she spoke, Natsuno couldn't help but take a few steps to the side.

Musashi's example teaches us that we should never get close to angry women, remember that!

We transferred from the cruise ship to a small boat to head to the secret island.

This time, the island seemed very lax, with only a few hidden sentries on the perimeter.

There wasn't even a check after the small boat landed on the island; they were just let through.

Natsuno couldn't help but shake his head: 'Even the guards have relaxed their guard; everyone left here must have been brainwashed to behave like this.'

'Naza, you'd better watch out. Who knows what Giovanni might do to you.'

Led by Lou, they arrived directly at Sakaki's office.

As he passed the room next to the door, Natsuno indeed sensed a very strange supernatural energy.

After entering, Sakaki sat in his office chair and nodded with a smile: "Natsuno, you're back. That's great."

Natsuno waved his hand lightly and continued sitting on the sofa eating tree fruits.

He just had the system analyze it and figured out the changes in this long-term brainwashing.

In short, the whole process is gradual, and only some of the cognitive changes are made; the behavioral habits will not change.

In other words, Natsuno only needs to convince Sakaki at the key points.

Seeing this, Naz followed suit, crossing her legs with a very relaxed expression.

Sakaki scoffed inwardly, but maintained a smile on his face.

"You must be tired from your journey, go and rest."

"Natsuno, there's no rush for the research. You can start after you've rested."

"I can't stay here for long either. If you need anything while I'm gone, just ask Apollo. That's all for now."

Seeing that Sakaki was about to leave, Natsuno quickly stood up as well: "I'll see you off, boss."

Naza followed suit, and the two of them went out behind Sakaki.

As they passed the entrance to the adjacent "brainwashing room," Xia Ye deliberately paused for a second before continuing to follow.

Naza realized what Natsuno was thinking, and also paused for a moment before continuing forward.

In the quiet corridor, the changes in their footsteps were all heard by Sakamoto.

With a smile playing on his lips, Sakaki waved to the two people behind him.

"No need to see you off, you can go and rest."

Xia Ye shrugged: "Take care, boss. Don't worry about me here!"

I'll definitely mess it up for you, boss!

Naza thought to herself, 'He didn't even ask me to do any other tasks. Has the old man changed his ways?'

Natsuno gave her a look as if she were an idiot: 'Old Deng would love for you to stay at the base longer so he can finish the brainwashing.'

Judging by appearances, several important rooms are next to brainwashing rooms. That's unbelievable.

Ignoring Natsumi, Natsuno headed straight for the research area.

Inside the room, Fuji was leading a group of people around various pieces of equipment.

Besides various electronic instruments, there were also more than a dozen glass culture jars in the room.

Various pipes are connected, and a strange clump of tissue can be seen inside each culture tank.

Seeing this, Natsuno couldn't help but nod: That's it, finally giving me the feeling that Mewtwo is about to be bred.

Noticing that it was Natsuno who came in, Dr. Fuji nodded to Natsuno and continued his work.

Xia Ye then began to examine the various instruments in the room, trying to understand the current progress.

Each incubation tank employed different extreme methods to stimulate the Dream Gene, resulting in varying conditions.

Fuji walked over to Natsuno and glanced at the report on the screen.

"I've also finished reading your new theory of evolution, and it has inspired me quite a bit."

"This is an extreme condition simulation being conducted at the suggestion of the boss, attempting to promote the adaptive expression of the Dream Gene."

"Mew contains the genes of all Pokémon, which means that this group is likely the ancestor of all Pokémon."

"The boss believes that this can simulate the state of the differentiation of dream genes in ancient times, allowing the dream genes to evolve in the predetermined direction."

Natsuno nodded, but his attention was drawn to how Fuji addressed Sakaki.

He keeps calling himself "boss," so he must have been thoroughly brainwashed.

Fuji smiled as he looked at Natsuno's thoughtful expression.

"Natsuno, do you have a new idea?"

Chapter 305 The orthodox method just doesn't feel right.

Faced with Fuji's expectant gaze, Natsuno shrugged.

"No way, I haven't been in the lab for so many days. The Mewtwo project still needs your help."

"You take the lead, and I'll assist you. Let me get to know the situation for a few more days."

Fuji did not refuse Natsuno's perfectly reasonable request.

For the next half day, Natsuno stayed by Fuji's side, perfectly playing the role of a competent assistant.

Secretly, Natsuno was using his superpowers to try and change Fuji's altered perceptions.

There's no way around it; if Fuji continues to believe that he is absolutely loyal to Sakaki, how is Natsuno supposed to carry out the plan?
