Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

Natsuno's plan was to have Watari stall Sakaki once he believed that his perception had been completely altered.

She then joined forces with Sabrina Fuji to quickly bring Mewtwo to life, eventually breaking free from Team Rocket's control.

Then, taking advantage of Giovanni's absence, they wiped out all of Team Rocket, leaving Giovanni to Lance and the others.

Although the plan was rough, the enemy was in the open while we were in the dark, giving us the advantage!

The daytime was peaceful and quiet, but at night, the much-anticipated plan of "secretly training and stunning everyone" naturally took place.

This time the situation is different; there's an extra sparring partner.

'Oh ho, weren't you quite capable when you were using telepathy attacks? Why don't you have any other dirty tricks this time?'

Naza crossed her arms, looking relaxed and slightly smug.

The three members of Xia Ye's team were struggling to keep up, as their three sparring partners were all of a higher level.

At this point, Sabrina's professionalism as a gym leader was evident, as she always pushed the three Natsuno kids to their limits during training.

For example, Xiao Cai's speed level is 59, while the Dream Eater here is level 60.

When the opponent has a speed advantage, it's impossible to even create distance and use ranged attacks; you can only fight at close range.

Of course, Natsuno already had a solution to this.

'Magic Space!'

Xiao Cai used her left hand to brace herself against a nearby tree trunk, narrowly dodging the opponent's headbutt.

It gripped its tail with its right hand and waved it incessantly, unleashing a strange energy that caused the surrounding space to begin to distort.

Under the influence of the magic space, the situation reversed, and those with lower speed levels became faster.

While it is indeed a powerful combat technique, this move continuously consumes energy, so it's best to finish the fight quickly.

This is also a difference in real-world combat; even the players on the Space Team dare not relax their partners' speed training too much.

Energy doesn't come from nothing. The lower your speed level is compared to your opponent, the more energy you need to consume to maintain the magic space.

Moreover, combat training is almost comprehensive; you can't say that speed is hardly trained when fighting, right?

With the magic space opened, Xia Ye didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief. He had to operate on three fronts at once, leaving no room for distraction.

Unfortunately, with the sudden boost of Sabrina's superpowers, the three little ones were defeated one after another and fainted.

Several portable medical devices were placed in the nearby bushes, so that patients could receive immediate treatment after fainting.

The downside is that as the companions' levels increase, the energy of one portable healing device is only enough to restore the body 3 to 5 times.

Xia Ye quickly treated the three little ones, while inwardly reflecting on his own mistakes.

That wretched Sabrina! She put me under immense pressure, and then suddenly used her superpowers to turn the tide at the crucial moment. How wicked!

Naz leaned against the tree, her expression stern, a stark contrast to her usual frivolous demeanor.

Is this your first time battling me? Did I not use psychic powers to directly buff my Pokémon the first time?

'You missed such important information; you must be feeling smug about your last-minute comeback, right?'

'Are you thinking about how to mock Sabrina now that you're about to achieve your third victory over her?'

Nazi's tone at this moment was even more serious and chilling than that of the school's dean of students.

"And besides, don't you have superpowers? Why don't you use them?"

'I used superpowers to enhance my game, couldn't you at least use yours? At the very least, it would have been a draw, right?'

Natsuno blushed when his thoughts were guessed, but luckily there was no moonlight and he wasn't seen.

"I was wrong, Lady Naza. I apologize. I shouldn't have been so complacent and arrogant after winning twice with my cleverness."

'Speaking of superpower enhancements, I honestly can't think of anything like it. That orthodox way of using it just doesn't feel right to me.'

"By the way, how did you manage to teach the Pokémon the art of blocking out their inner thoughts so quickly? That's amazing."

Upon hearing Natsuno's words, Nazuna laughed in exasperation.

"Don't ever say you have superpowers again, it's too embarrassing!"

"As for mind blocking, bro, don't you know that superpowers can temporarily block mind communication?"

"You really need to practice your half-baked way of using superpowers!"

Natsuno's eyes widened: Is that even possible?

Since he didn't have time to look at the system's superpower training manual, which was estimated to be hundreds of thousands of words long, he learned everything by trial and error.

Naturally, he didn't know there was such a trick, and secretly decided to thoroughly study the system's superpower manual when he had time.

Soon, the evil researcher suddenly discovered the key point: Cattleya must know about this, right?

Why didn't you say so before? And during the mind-to-mind training, I didn't see her block out her mind-to-mind; she was listening to me tell ghost stories the whole time.

Even after I refused to tell him, he persisted, staying in my room all night and insisting that I tell him ghost stories.

She screamed in fright and hid under my blanket, but she wouldn't stop listening; she wanted to keep listening.

Why are ghost stories so appealing? It's truly baffling.

Completely baffled, Natsuno scratched his head: I don't understand, but I respect it.

I fed the three little ones energy cubes after they woke up, comforted them, and encouraged them to fight back.

"Come on, Sabrina! Training can't stop! Our motto is to become stronger with every setback!"

Reloading save files repeatedly is my secret weapon in gaming!

Unfortunately, there's no save/load strategy in the real world, and Natsuno and the three little ones suffered an eight-game losing streak in one night.

However, as training progressed, Natsuno's team was able to hold out for longer and longer in battles, and in the last match, the three little ones lasted for half an hour before finally losing.

Natsuno's superpowers were completely drained, and he only felt a slight headache.

Sabrina waved goodbye and left: 'Let's continue tomorrow night. You're too weak; you have no chance of protecting yourself on the Rockets.'

"Besides, you only have three partners right now. What about the other partners? You should at least have a main team of six."

Natsuno rubbed his head to ease the discomfort: 'Ah, I'll see if I meet someone I'm meant to be with.'

Naza quickly left, saying, "I feel dark clouds are coming; a storm is probably coming soon. You'd better go back quickly."

Xia Ye shook his head, wanting to rest in the woods a little longer before going back.

The three children used him as a backrest, enjoying the quiet time.

But then he heard thunder not far away. Xia Ye gently patted himself and tried to get up, but failed.

At this moment, Z2 above his head suddenly stirred, revealing itself and looking at a large dark cloud on the horizon.

'Natsuno, don't leave yet. It seems like she's come looking for you.'

Chapter 306 Zapdos: Sending You a Bird

Looking for me?

Natsuno scratched his head, also looking in the direction Z2 was staring at.

A large, lightning-streaked dark cloud was rapidly moving towards the island, covering it completely in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

A clap of thunder was followed by a downpour.

Luckily, Madoka reacted quickly and used her superpowers to isolate herself from the surrounding rain, otherwise she would have been soaked to the bone.

Z2 landed back on Natsuno's shoulder and looked up at the sky.

A slightly authoritative female voice echoed in Natsuno's mind: 'Human, are you Natsuno? I've heard so much about you.'

With a deafening roar, a massive bolt of lightning flashed.

A surge of energy suddenly coalesced in front of Xia Ye, transforming into an image that Xia Ye was very familiar with.

"Zetzart?"

The solidified figure in front of him was only 2 meters tall, which was quite different from what Natsuno knew.

"Are you a juvenile of the Zapdos clan?"

The other person gently shook their head: 'This is the application of the power of authority. You can call me Electricity. Shrinking my body makes me easier to hide, doesn't it?'

Natsuno looked thoughtfully at Z2 on his left shoulder.

Dian glanced at Xiao Huan, his eyes filled with surprise.

'Is this the Pokémon called Porygon? That's amazing.'

She glanced at Natsuno again, her eyes filled with curiosity.

'Humans have actually grasped the fundamental code of life and even uncovered the secrets of Pokémon evolution.'

Sometimes I really envy you humans.

Natsuno scratched his head, his expression very modest: "Ah, it was all just luck."

But I was secretly delighted: I love the look of surprise and admiration on the faces of legendary Pokémon, so praise them more!

The next second, the wicked researcher discovered the key point: "Wait a minute, you just mentioned the secrets of evolution?"

"You know I published a new theory of evolution? How did you find out?"

Wait a minute, aren't legendary Pokémon supposed to live in seclusion?

As far as I know, this is the case for all three legendary birds, so why is Zapdos different?

Natsuno scratched his head, his confused expression falling into Dian's eyes.

The latter nodded slightly, revealing a level of refinement completely different from the other two individuals in power.

"Television. I can't help but marvel at human ingenuity; with the arrival of this peaceful era, technology has developed at an astounding pace."

'We Zapdos are not completely isolated from the world; I learn about your human progress by watching television.'

Oh my god, Zapdos is watching TV?

How are these two words combined?
