Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

"I have no intention of making any moves on him, and neither do you. Neither of you are worth my attention."

"Speaking of which, you're a bit out of touch. Why are you only questioning me about something that happened yesterday?"

"I'm absolutely certain you weren't gathering information about the Rockets, so what were you doing?"

At this moment, Azure began to stammer, and her arrogance instantly diminished.

Silence is an answer. Xia Ye didn't say anything; he had known all along that Bi Lan was unreliable.

"Alright, I'm too lazy to care. After all, you can't help much, and you can't even gather information. Sigh."

"I'd better ask Xiao Huang; he's the more reliable one."

Chapter 373 Team Rocket Officers Hereby Announce

Natsuno hung up on Azure directly, too lazy to bother with the guy.

Looking at Xiao Huang's communication information, Xia Ye hesitated for a moment, but still did not choose to communicate.

He thought of Sakaki, that ruthless guy. Could Xiao Huang have been brainwashed by him too?

I forgot to confirm it last time on Baiyin Mountain, and subconsciously chose to trust her.

Thinking of this, Natsuno slapped his head in frustration, which was seen by Takeran, who had just come out after taking a shower.

The blonde beauty was puzzled, but when she looked closer at Xia Ye's phone screen and saw that the contact name was "Xiao Huang," a thought struck her.

He took Natsuno's phone, untied his shower cap, and glanced at Natsuno.

Having long been familiar with the process, Natsuno had already picked up the hair dryer and started working on her evening task.

After checking everything, the blonde beauty put Natsuno's phone aside.

"Ono, what should we do next?"

Natsuno shrugged: "I have absolutely no clue, I'm completely baffled too."

"But I'm sure they'll be very interested in legendary Pokémon, which is why I sent Crystal to look for them."

"If the three birds hadn't been brainwashed yet, I would have used them as bait, but unfortunately the three powerful figures wouldn't agree."

Natsuno isn't very good at other methods, but he knows a little bit about entrapment.

Cynthia shook her head gently: "But everyone knows that the three legendary birds are legendary Pokémon of Kanto, and last time I saw that you and they had a special relationship."

"If we use the Three Sacred Birds, it will be easy to link it to you, which is not good."

Xia Ye helplessly spread his hands: "Then we can only wait for news. The city is so big, it's not easy to find someone."

...

"It wasn't easy, but we've finally found a clue."

Inside the mysterious building, a man draped in loose clothing gently tapped the white mask on his face with his fingers.

The voice sounded androgynous, as if equipped with a voice changer.

A man and a woman stood in front of the masked man, each wearing a half-face mask, which appeared to be the same mask split in half.

The masked man looked at the two respectful men before him, then first looked at his male subordinate.

"Carter, go to Yuanzhu City and make a big fuss."

Upon hearing the masked man's words, the man immediately nodded and loudly replied, "Yes, leader!"

The masked man then looked at his female subordinate.

"Gam, the rumors about the Rockets have been making waves and causing widespread panic lately, which is perfect for me to use."

"Take those newcomers to Goldenrod City, take over the Broadcast Tower, and announce Team Rocket's manifesto."

"I estimate that quite a few remnants of Team Rocket have fled to Johto. We can make use of them to give them a chance to contribute their remaining strength."

The female subordinate, Gam, nodded in agreement, and the two subordinates then left the room.

The masked man opened his drawer, took out a group photo, and looked at the six figures in it with an ambiguous expression.

After a long while, the masked man put away the group photo, got up, and left.

...

The next day, Natsuno got up and had breakfast with Takeran, but when she went downstairs, she found that Kūki was not there.

Upon checking the message on his phone, he learned that he had been suddenly called away and was told to arrange his own time.

Helpless, Natsuno went to the laboratory to study a temporary solution for breeding Cygnus.

Seeing that there was a radio in the laboratory, Natsuno turned it on and tuned it to a radio station in the Johto area.

You should know that Miss Kurumi from Mankin City is a celebrity announcer with fans all over the world; she's beautiful and has a sweet voice.

"Listening to the radio while working is such a wonderful thing!"

Natsuno's ability to multitask was honed, and he became adept at using both his hands and ears.

Just as Natsuno was steadily advancing his research, the sound from the radio suddenly changed.

"Eevee gently kisses Pikachu... Eh? Who are you? This is the broadcasting studio, please come out, ouch!"

A crackling sound came from the radio, but it quickly disappeared.

Instead, another male voice was heard, and it seemed like there were still three people.

"Listeners in the Johto region, this is Ryo, a member of Team Rocket. I hereby announce!"

"We have captured the Goldenrod City Broadcasting Tower, and once again announced to the world that Team Rocket has reorganized here!"

"To our former teammates and to those who aspire to join Team Rocket in the future, please join us!"

"Listen to this Rockets manifesto!..."

Natsuno was speechless, rubbing his ears and wondering if there was something wrong with them.

He pulled out his phone and glanced at the calendar: "Isn't today April Fool's Day? What's going on on the radio?"

Natsuno was completely bewildered, while fans around the world listening to Walnut Radio were even more confused.

Soon, someone tried to reach the communications and broadcasting tower and discovered that something was wrong.

Natsuno, still in a daze, immediately received a communication request from Aoya.

"Natsuno-nii! Listen to that broadcast right now, something's wrong!"

"Ah, I was just listening to that. Does that mean the Broadcast Tower really has been taken over by Team Rocket?"

"That's right, but it's not just that! Kikyo City sent a message to the Johto Alliance headquarters saying that an earthquake seems to have occurred!"

Xia Ye was even more confused: "Is that so? But I didn't feel any vibration here in Yanmo City."

At that moment, the sound of wind rose from Qinglu's side: "So I suspect it was just a man-made disturbance, not a natural earthquake."

Natsuno immediately fell into thought: "A feint to the east while attacking in the west, it's very similar to the Rockets' tactics before."

“Alright, I’ll go to Kikyo City with Zhu Lan to investigate, and you and the people from the Johto Alliance will go to Goldenrod City first.”

"That side is relatively more important. If we capture them, we can directly find the location of their base!"

Qinglu nodded in agreement and hung up the call.

Natsuno ran out of the research lab, waved away the large, adorable orange creature that tried to surround her, called her friends, and ran towards the ancestral hall.

Zhu Lan was currently examining the non-Clan stone tablets treasured by the Dragon Envoy Clan with a magnifying glass, completely absorbed in the task.

Natsuno came in, grabbed the blonde beauty, and ran off, rattling off a rough account of what had happened.

Although they shouldn't have gone together on the shark from a speed perspective, they did anyway.

It's not that the two are love-struck and insist on being affectionate even in crucial moments to show their intimacy.

It was because a certain researcher surnamed Xia had not yet obtained his pilot's license and could not fly on his own; unlicensed driving must be eliminated!

About half an hour later, the two arrived at the outskirts of Kikyo City.

In order to avoid revealing their identities, they chose to travel by car after landing.

The taxi driver was somewhat surprised when he heard Natsuno say that he wanted to go to the location of the earthquake.

"Young man, there was just an earthquake over there, it was quite loud. You can go to Labrador Reservoir anytime, why go now?"

Xia Ye shook his head and remained silent: "My friend is there, I have to go find him."

And then he used his money, and the driver's eyes lit up instantly.

"Don't worry, you two, hold on tight. I'm known for my speed in this area!"

Chapter 374 Ah Su, I'm a good person

On the other side, in the northern part of Kikyo City, the area around a three-story tower about thirty meters high was in complete disarray.

The surrounding trees were uprooted, large areas of soil were exposed, and there were large craters everywhere, clearly indicating that the area had experienced a major earthquake.

Despite the swaying and rocking of the Bell Sprout Tower, it remained standing firmly in the air.

The open space around the pagoda was littered with monks and unconscious monks lying haphazardly on the ground.

Wearing a half-face mask, Carter is controlling his hairy pig to launch an attack, targeting the bottom of Trumpet Bud Tower.

The road to Bellsprout Tower was blocked by a group of people wearing masks and Team Rocket uniforms.

At this moment, the gym leader Aso, who has blue hair and is wearing blue clothes, is leading the police officers in a raid inside.

Noticing that the people blocking their way were retreating, Carter snorted coldly.

"No wonder they were completely driven out of the Kanto region. These guys called Team Rocket are clearly useless."

"I don't know why the leader would gather such a bunch of disorganized people. He still needs us, his right-hand men, to help him."

As he spoke, Carter ordered the long-haired boars to stop their attack and instead headed to the road to block them, their target being Asu.

"You few go to the back and continue attacking the Bell Sprout Tower. If you can destroy it, everyone involved will be promoted!"

Upon hearing this, the Rockets henchmen who were blocking the way rushed towards the tower, while Carter shook his head.

He then commanded his long-haired boar to shoot down Asu's big-mouthed sparrow with an ice shard.
