Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

Looking at the blue crocodile standing firmly in front of him, a gentle light flashed in Little Silver's eyes.

Ah Jin waved his hand: "What do you take me for? How could I possibly break up someone else's bond?"

"But I'll keep an eye on you and make sure you don't lead Blue Crocodile into doing bad things!"

Xiao Yin was surprised that Ah Jin's purpose was so trivial, and her expression returned to its cold and stern state.

He then opened the Poké Ball, recalled the Blue Crocodile, and turned to continue upstairs: "You can leave now. It's none of your business what I do."

Unfortunately, Master Jin was used to being a scoundrel, so why would he listen to Xiao Yin?

Like a leech, it clung to Xiao Yin. Seeing Xiao Yin searching around, Ah Jin couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking for? Let me help you look."

Xiao Yin didn't respond at this moment, having already decided in her heart that she would treat Ah Jin as if he were invisible no matter what.

After inspecting the top of the charred tower, Xiao Yin went downstairs, while A Jin continued to pester her.

Turning towards the Bell Tower, they saw that Little Silver was heading in the same direction as them, and Ah Jin flashed his big white teeth.

"What a coincidence! I also accepted the quest to go to the Bell Tower. It would be good if we went together and had company!"

Unexpectedly, just as Akin was speaking, a loud bang came from the direction of the bell tower.

Their expressions changed, and they quickened their pace.

Upon arriving at their destination, they found the ground around the Bell Tower churning, the tower tilted, and the first floor almost entirely submerged.

Little Silver moved swiftly, using both hands and feet to climb up to the second level and enter the tower by taking advantage of nearby trees and other structures.

Although Ah Jin had already witnessed Xiao Yin's skills, he was still dumbfounded at this moment.

Then, following Xiao Yin's example, he chose the same route, but at a much slower pace.

Neither of the two people who entered the tower noticed that a man wearing a half-face mask was standing behind the tower.

When Ajin went down to the first floor, he saw Silver supporting a girl, and next to them stood an electric dragon using a glowing move. He couldn't help but shout.

"Let go of that girl!"

Xiao Yin frowned, wondering what Ah Jin was up to this time.

"Little Silver, I misjudged you. You actually hurt Ami. Don't you know that my job is to protect Miss Ami?"

Ah Jin insisted that Xiao Yin was the culprit who caused Ah Mi's injury, leaving Xiao Yin speechless.

At this moment, Ami, the girl being supported by Xiaoyin, quickly raised her head to explain the situation.

Just as they were talking, another violent tremor occurred, the tower shook, and the three of them fell to the ground uncontrollably.

At this moment, one could feel the tower continuing to sink into the ground. Without time to think too much, Ajin rushed forward to help.

With A-Jin and Xiao-Yin supporting A-Mi, the three of them climbed to the top of the tower, with Blue Crocodile and Explosive Taro leading the way, making their journey incredibly fast.

But the speed at which he climbed upwards couldn't keep up with the speed of the collapse. Seeing that he was only a few meters away from the top floor, Ajin looked at Ami's electric dragon.

"Hey, you need to get Miss Ami out of here right now!"

Outside the tower, the half-face masked man, Kaz, was directing his hairy pigs to continuously create sinkholes.

Unlike last time, this time he wore a Rockets uniform and was still surrounded by a bunch of Rockets players.

Just as it was about to be completely finished, an electric dragon carrying Ami burst through the top of the tower and disappeared in a few leaps.

Kaz clicked his tongue and continued to finish the last bit of work.

Just as they were about to turn and leave, they heard an explosion. At that moment, Ajin and Xiaoyin rushed out with their respective companions in their arms.

Upon seeing an old acquaintance, Kaz's lips curled into a smile, and he ordered the long-haired boar to launch an attack.

"This time, no one can save you."

...

"You did a great job, I'm very pleased!"

At this moment, Natsuno was encouraging his hardworking partners and had already developed a dislike for the profession of gym leader.

The battles are so intense they make you want to vomit, and you also have to adapt your combat strength accordingly; you can't just go all out and sweep everyone you see.

"That's not how the dojo master is!"

"Isn't being the gym owner a part-time job? Sabrina can be a member of Team Rocket at the same time and act in movies in Hollywood."

"And needless to say, Giovanni has set up an incredibly secretive underground organization!"

"Why is it that when it comes to me, they've already implemented the 996 work schedule?"

"Great Master, I was wrong. I want to go back to being a researcher. I don't want to slack off anymore!"

Although the 996 work schedule is painful, it's not without its benefits.

The skill mastery levels of each companion are actually improving, and the one who benefits the most is Little K.

Kikyo is a Flying-type Gym, equipped entirely with bird-type Pokémon. After observing many times, Klein finally mastered all the moves he learned by leveling up.

They had even started learning learning machine skills, which almost brought tears to Natsuno's eyes.

Natsuno continued to serve as the temporary curator for several more days.

Mainly, he is kind-hearted and can't bear to see Yishu facing a large group of challengers all day long.

Several days passed, and the crystal rewards were discovered.

Chapter 387 Little Blue Returns

"Natsuno-kun, I've found out the whereabouts of Lugia, the legendary Pokémon of Johto! It's very likely on Whirlpool Island right now!"

Crystal's tone was somewhat jubilant. After so many days of investigation, she had finally made a new discovery, and she felt that her efforts had not been in vain.

"Should I go to Whirlpool Island to investigate and find out more accurate information? Or should I go and search for the whereabouts of other legendary Pokémon first?"

Thinking that fewer and fewer people were challenging the Kikyo Gym these past few days, Natsuno figured that he would be able to handle it on his own in a few more days, so he immediately spoke up.

"Either is fine, I'll be free soon. Whirlpool Island seems very dangerous, right? There are huge whirlpools everywhere."

"If you live nearby, you can take a look, but safety must be the top priority."

After hanging up the call, Natsuno checked the Johto News again.

"With the combined efforts of psychics and Pokémon, the Bell Tower, buried underground by Team Rocket, has finally seen the light of day again?"

"Is Johto also in trouble with Team Rocket? How come there are so many Team Rocket members? Can't they all be arrested?"

"Besides, that old bastard Sakaki is far too arrogant. Instead of lying low in the city, he's causing trouble without any restraint."

Watching Qinglv leading people to put out fires on TV, and how she had been jokingly called "Chengdu Loan Champion" by many Chengdu residents, Xia Ye couldn't help but laugh.

Although he felt that the Rockets' style, as reported in the news, was very different from that of the Guandu team, he didn't think about it too deeply.

The main reason was that Sakaki was hiding in Johto, and Natsuno assumed that the old man had gone mad.

"I wonder where Red went. Has Giovanni not finished brainwashing me yet?"

This is also Natsuno's only point of confusion: Giovanni couldn't possibly leave a champion trainer like Red untouched and not brainwash him.

Could it be because the protagonist always has unusual qualities? Like having a strong will and being unable to be brainwashed?

Xia Ye smiled and shook his head. Xiao Huang had been communicating with him these past few days, but he couldn't be sure if Xiao Huang had been brainwashed and hadn't said anything important.

Furthermore, since he genuinely didn't know Crimson's whereabouts, the situation had taken a completely different turn.

However, Xiao Huang's expression and tone revealed her genuine concern for Chi Hong, and Xia Ye actually believed that she hadn't been brainwashed.

As always, my bedtime routine consists of communicating with my blonde beauty and expressing my fervent longing for her.

The people inside the pillar of spears have still not been rescued, and Natsuno is puzzled as to what they eat.

Zhu Lan said she didn't know, because besides not being able to see inside the ruins, she couldn't hear any sound either, as if it had disappeared.

Natsuno was very curious about this, but he couldn't leave at all.

"Everyone, it's time to rest. We still have to be badge examiners tomorrow, and there are hundreds more challengers. Ah, help!"

After turning off the lights, Natsuno couldn't help but wonder, "Am I not a researcher? What the heck is this temporary curator?"

A few more days passed, and the number of challengers finally decreased.

Natsuno resolutely left, amidst Ichiki's tearful, reluctant gaze, heading towards his beloved research lab.

Over the past few days, the reputation of the Kikyo Gym has continued to rise, almost surpassing the Dragon Gym in Blacksmith City to become the number one gym in Johto.

Although Natsuno was a little tired, he couldn't help but laugh: What will Asu think when he comes back and finds out about this?

But these days, the Alliance has been searching for those who disappeared at the ruins of Aluf, and still haven't found them.

They searched not only the entire Johto region, but also other areas, but still found nothing.

It's as if those people have already left this planet; it's incredible.

Considering the existence of Pokémon, Natsuno was also unable to determine the whereabouts of those people.

At least he was certain he wasn't in another dimension, because the interdimensional communication provided by the system could never establish a connection.

Upon arriving at the Dragon Messenger's territory, Natsuno was greeted by Dr. Kumo. Without turning back, he rushed to the laboratory.

He almost wanted to kiss the research equipment in the laboratory; his eyes were filled with tears.

Kūki already knew about Natsuno's experiences as a badge examiner these past few days, so he didn't say anything else to provoke him and went straight to reporting on the recent progress.

Kūki continued his usual long, extended academic lecture, while Natsuno, unusually, listened with great interest.

Seeing that Natsuno didn't interrupt him, Kuki became more and more excited as he spoke, and the more excited he became, the more he expanded on his story, making it longer and longer.

Finally, when Natsuno was getting sleepy, the wicked research man waved his hand and said, "Doctor, listen for a bit while I look at the keywords."

Kongmu smacked his lips, still wanting more, his face full of regret.

"The superficial solutions of late-blooming talents and the proliferation of their influence are not feasible; the erosion of power is extremely serious."

"Whether it's hundreds of layers of filtration or other isolation methods, even if all the wrong proteins are separated at the beginning, the correct proteins added later will be distorted."

"It's not just Dragonite, the same applies to the genes of other late bloomers."

Natsuno carefully examined the experimental results of Kumoki over this period of time and couldn't help but shake his head.

Kumoki and the other doctors from other regions tried almost every method imaginable, but all were defeated by the power of authority.
