Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

"Ouch, my head hurts so much. Who are you?"

After a brief short circuit, Akin's memory returned, and he looked around.

"Where did that arrogant guy in the black clothes who stole my bag go?"

By this time, Kūki was almost there, and Natsuno shushed Akin.

"Don't speak. Do you want me to tell Professor Elm that you stole his Cyndaquil?"

Akin's eyes widened: "How did you know?"

Xia Ye shook his head: "Don't speak yet. Whatever I say later is the truth. Don't say anything out of the ordinary, understand?"

As they were talking, Kūki walked to the backyard and saw Natsuno giving Kin a thumbs up.

Upon seeing Kūki arrive, Natsuno turned to look at him and began to recount what had happened.

"Dr. Kongmu, I heard some noise in the backyard when I was moving things, so I came to check."

"It turns out that the Rockets were trying to break in and steal something, but this kind-hearted boy named Arkin discovered them."

"He defeated Team Rocket using the Cyndaquil that had just run out; that was very clever."

"I think that Cyndaquil works well with him and is a good match for him."

At this moment, Kuki saw the two Team Rocket members lying on the ground, then glanced at Natsuno and Gin, who looked somewhat bewildered.

He instantly believed Natsuno's explanation: "So that's how it is, Akin, well done!"

He immediately took out his phone and called the police.

Akin was still confused because he didn't remember seeing either of these two Rockets teams at all.

But he quickly noticed Natsuno's expression and could only nod.

"Ah yes, that's right. Explosion Taro and I work together perfectly, dealing with mere thugs is a piece of cake."

After Kongmu finished reporting the incident, he nodded slightly and walked up to Ajin: "Let me examine that Cyndaquil."

Ajin was a little troubled, but then he saw Xia Ye nod almost imperceptibly at him, his eyes darting around.

In the end, he took out a Poké Ball from his pocket and handed it to Kyouki.

The three of them worked together to tie up the unconscious Team Rocket member and returned to the research lab.

At this moment, Cynthia came in to check the situation. Natsuno carried the last box of starter Poké Balls to be distributed outside and handed them to Nurse Joy and the others to distribute.

He then returned to his research lab, his steps quickening as he feared Ah Jin would give him away.

After checking on Bomb Taro's condition and recording the data, Kuki nodded and placed the ball in Kin's hand.

"Everyone in town says that Gold from the Pokémon House is very good at taking care of Pokémon, and now that I see it, it's true."

"I can feel the trust this Cyndaquil has in you, so I'm entrusting this little guy to you."

Akin held the Poké Ball in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ajin lightly brushed aside his bangs, looking extremely smug.

"That's right, I'm Grandpa Gold, taking care of Pokémon is my instinct!"

He secretly rejoiced: I really am destined to be the champion of Johto; my act of bravery has been rewarded.

And then there are all sorts of strange but ordinary-looking men who come to help me. That's the kind of protagonist you see in novels, hehe!

My Uncle Ajin has the makings of a leading man!

Natsuno chuckled inwardly: Indeed, there will be negative effects; even your Pokémon have learned to smoke, drink, and get perms from you.

At this moment, the group walked back to the front yard, but on the way they heard some arguments.

By this time, most of the loot had been distributed, leaving only one boy glaring angrily at one of the Joeys.

The guy crossed his arms and said in a very unfriendly tone, "Hey, what's going on at your research institute?"

"I made an appointment, and when I arrived, there were so many people, so I patiently waited in line. And what was the result?"

"Everyone before me got their tortoise plushies, but why am I being told they're all gone? Are you targeting me?"

The short-bangs-wearing Joey was so anxious she was almost in tears, looking at the empty box in front of her and checking it repeatedly.

"But there really aren't any other Poké Balls left, only this Chikorita."

"Professor Elm! Have you checked if any Poké Balls have been left in the backyard?"

As soon as the group came out, they roughly understood what had happened, and Kongmu comforted the two of them.

"Don't worry, I'll go back and look again. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, he went back to the backyard and carefully searched the research room, leaving no corner or the top of the cabinet unchecked.

As Kongmu searched, he muttered to himself, "This is really strange. I made sure it was ready, so how come it's gone?"

Natsuno already knew what was going on; it was clearly Gin who had taken it.

Then, he used his telepathic communication to give Ah Jin some instructions.

The latter was surprised that Natsuno, who looked like an ordinary man, actually had superpowers, but quickly came to his senses.

“Professor Elm, I remember now, before those two Team Rocket thugs came in, I saw someone walk out.”

"Could it be that the little saw-tooth stole it from that person?"

Kongmu's eyes widened: "Is that so?"

Akin nodded vigorously and patted his chest: "Don't worry, Doctor, I'll go and bring him back for you right now!"

After saying that, Ajin ran off in a flash. Kuki watched his retreating figure and nodded repeatedly: "What a kind-hearted boy. Entrusting Cyndaquil to him was the right decision."

Natsuno almost burst out laughing: Doctor, please stick to this statement and don't change it!

Chapter 367 Crystal Girl is indispensable!

After saying that, Kuki took out his phone and called the breeding center to ask them to send over a new starter Pokémon.

Natsuno then remembered the Cyndaquil that Akin had taken away: "Professor, if we're going to send one, why don't we have them send a whole set over? Maybe we'll find a use for it?"

Although Kuki was somewhat confused, he still did as Natsuno said.

Sending extra won't be a waste; we can just distribute it later. It's genetically engineered and inexpensive.

I went back to the front yard and told the boy what had happened. He impatiently sat back down on the sofa and waited.

Natsuno was thinking about something else: If that's the case, then without Professor Oak, how will Crystal embark on her adventure?

If Professor Oak was originally going to come, but instead asked me to come instead, doesn't that mean I might have to take Professor Oak's place and lead the way for Crystal?

Thinking of this, Natsuno began to seriously recall the information he had previously possessed.

Soon, a breeding center staff member in uniform delivered three Poké Balls, and the distribution was completed smoothly.

Before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, a boy rushed in.

"Doctor, I want to get a Cyndaquil. I made a reservation!"

Kongmu glanced at the empty desk and the Cyndaquil he had just received from the deliveryman, and scratched his head.

He glanced at Natsuno in surprise again, then handed the Cyndaquil to the unlucky latecomer.

Looking at the last remaining chrysanthemum leaves in his hand, Professor Elm joked, "Is there going to be someone late coming to collect them?"

Unfortunately, after waiting for more than ten minutes, no one came.

Kuki shook his head, took the ball in his hand, and gestured for Natsuno and Takeran to enter.

The two went to the backyard rest area and removed their disguises.

Professor Kuki gripped Natsuno's hand tightly, his expression one of great excitement: "Great, it's Natsuno, you've come."

"I was thinking that it would be good enough to get Mr. Daiki here, but I didn't expect that it would be you, the leader, to come."

Xia Ye subtly withdrew his hand, his face filled with curiosity: "What exactly is the problem?"

Dr. Kuki immediately brought over a laptop and showed it to Natsuno.

"Some time ago..."

"After doing some research, I discovered..."

"It's still like this now..."

Natsuno was initially focused, but as he listened, he found his head starting to buzz.

After listening to a while longer, my eyelids started to feel heavy, and I began to understand Professor Oak's pain.

Natsuno had to interrupt Kūki's narration, which was even more verbose than that of the author of the novel, and he couldn't take it anymore.

"Dr. Kongmu, for the sake of efficiency, let me take a look at the keywords first."

After saying that, Natsuno started checking Kuuki's computer without saying anything else, leaving the latter scratching his head awkwardly.

Natsuno carefully read through it and roughly understood the contents.

"Entrusted by the Dragon Messenger clan, we are researching the reproduction of Dragonite in an attempt to increase its numbers."

"Recent analysis has revealed a special phenomenon in the reproductive genes of the dragon."

Upon seeing this, Xia Ye quickly stood up: "Doctor, let's go take a look at the gene analysis diagram."

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen any Dragonite in the research institute. Where are they?"

Kuki waved his hand: "Dragonite isn't here. It's in the territory of the Dragon Messenger Clan. There's a third-generation machine there too."

"I was doing research over there before, which is why I ended up distributing starter Pokémon all at once over these past few days."

Xia Ye smiled and shook his head. No wonder, he clearly remembered that new trainers would make appointments to come to his door from time to time.

So, it seems like Kongmu is trying to cram all the newlyweds in the town into one place within two or three days?

It was nearing evening when Kuki smiled and looked at Natsuno and the other two.

"You two, I'll be distributing them for another day tomorrow, and then we'll be done. Natsuno, what do you think?"

"Should we go directly to the Dragon Envoy's place tonight, or should I go with you tomorrow afternoon?"

Xia Ye thought for a moment and shook his head: "In that case, we're not in a hurry. We'll just stay here with you tonight."
