Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

"So, those who achieve great things late in life have broken a cardinal rule? It's so difficult for them to even reproduce. What kind of authority is this?"

Xia Ye walked over and looked at the gene fragments displayed on the third-generation machine's screen. The structure, which he used to be tired of looking at, now looked more and more beautiful.

As he meticulously checked the methods the professors had used, Natsuno quickly became frantic.

"So there's no way to treat the symptoms at all? Please, anyone can teach me how to do it!"

"How do we deal with something as shameless as the power of authority?"

At that moment, Natsuno suddenly felt that there was something in the room.

A shrewd, old-fashioned thought suddenly arose in his mind: 'Since you so sincerely beg me, then I will mercifully answer you.'

'Use authority to counter authority.'

Xia Ye blinked, wondering if he was hallucinating. He touched his head to make sure he didn't have a fever.

Then I suddenly felt a soft, squishy thing on my shoulder.

The evil researcher's eyes widened instantly: that familiar touch, that familiar tone of voice!

"Little Blue, you're back! That's wonderful!"

Natsuno screamed and ran out of the lab, hiding in the office next door.

Kūki, standing still, scratched his head repeatedly: "Kūki? Is someone coming? Superpowered people are really hard to understand."

Natsuno grabbed the large green jelly on his shoulder and buried his face in Z2's belly.

"Little Blue, you're finally back! I missed you so much!"

The other companions on its body also quickly released balls, expressing their joy.

Z2 felt itchy when Natsuno buried his head in it, and could no longer control his stealth mode, bursting into laughter.

As Meng Huan flew through the air, watching Xia Ye and the others' affectionate actions, a hint of envy appeared in her eyes.

After catching up, Natsuno returned to the laboratory.

"Dr. Kongmu, I've got an idea."

Chapter 388: Use authority to counter authority

"Oh?"

Kūki watched as Natsuno returned alone, paying no attention to what Natsuno was saying. He looked around, scratching his head.

"Didn't you just go to pick someone up? What Xiao Lan? Where is she?"

Upon hearing Kuki mention this name, Z2 on Natsuno's shoulder lashed out at Natsuno with its tail once more.

Faced with this long-lost feeling, Natsuno laughed heartily: "That's not important, the experiment is important, Doctor!"

"Didn't we have Mewtwo try to apply the power of authority to Dragonite's scales last time, which caused an explosion instead?"

Upon hearing Natsuno's actions, Z2 couldn't help but retort, "You actually dared to do that? Who gave you the guts?"

'If we hadn't worked together to suppress Xiaomeng last time, the conflict of authority would have caused the entire island to evaporate!'

Hearing Z2's long-awaited吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments), Natsuno was even happier and pulled Kuki to continue explaining.

The latter then quickly pulled out his tools and began recording what Natsuno was saying.

"This shows that there is a conflict between two different authorities, including the case when Mewtwo was created."

"So, could we do this: use Xiaomeng's battle authority to occupy the correct protein's position?"

"Wouldn't this mean that due to the repulsion between powers, the mysterious power would be unable to exert its distorting effect?"

Hearing this analysis, Kūki's eyes lit up: "That's right, it's you who understands power, Natsuno."

"We've been working on this for so long and haven't found a viable solution, but you... sigh, how can there be such a big difference between people?"

After a brief moment of reflection, Kongmu focused his attention on the method.

"There's a problem. Last time, when Mewtwo infused its scales with the power of authority, they exploded. What about this one?"

"Will it provoke a backlash from the mysterious authority, such as gathering all the power of authority to suppress the Mewtwo authority?"

"Just like you said last time, Mewtwo said that the power of authority surged uncontrollably onto the scales, making it almost impossible to shake off."

"If the mysterious powers are attracted by Mewtwo's powers and all rush over, a conflict will eventually occur."

At this moment, Kuki made an explosion gesture, and Natsuno's expression turned thoughtful.

"That's true, we need to think it through. It takes time to repair a machine if it explodes."

At this moment, he remembered the method of guiding psychic powers that Z2 had taught him when he created Mewtwo last time.

"By the way, I have a way to use superpowers to redirect the power of authority away!"

Natsuno immediately explained the principle to Kūki, who nodded repeatedly.

"In that case, perhaps it's possible! Superpowers can be used as a guide to separate the power of authority!"

The two exchanged a glance, their expressions excited, and couldn't wait to begin the experiment.

For safety reasons, Natsuno persuaded Dr. Kuki to stay away and to complete the operation independently.

Of course, Natsuno's control over his superpowers is also improving, and he can perform precise operations from 10 meters away without any problem.

Following Dr. Kuki's instructions, Natsuno activated the machine, and his superpowers were ready to be unleashed.

Multiple filtrations thoroughly clean up erroneous proteins, and Xiaomeng then empowers the correct proteins with her authority before injecting them into the culture medium.

The most crucial step is here. Natsuno took a deep breath and focused intently on sensing the internal situation.

Xiaomeng had her hands ready, prepared to activate her shield at any moment before the explosion to protect Xia Ye's safety.

Three minutes later, Natsuno suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the cultivation progress bar, which had previously been stuck, began to advance at a snail's pace again.

Natsuno felt the mysterious power of authority that was isolated from him by superpowers, a feeling that was both heavy and intense.

However, under the manipulation of superpowers, the mysterious authority could no longer affect the subsequent breeding process.

Natsuno was thinking of withdrawing his superpowers, but before he could make a move, the mysterious authority acted again, trying to take over the embryo that was about to begin breeding.

Natsuno's eyes widened as his superpowers kicked in again, guiding the mysterious authority away.

"This is bad, Doctor! I have to keep a close watch to prevent the mysterious authority from getting back into our clutches!"

At this moment, at Natsuno's prompting, Kuki returned to his side to monitor the entire process of gene cultivation.

Hearing this, Kongmu was startled: "Can you still hold on? If not, let's give up for now and refine our strategy!"

Natsuno waved his hand, then remembered something and his face turned pale with surprise: "It's alright, my superpowers have been honed over time, I can hold on for a bit... Wait a minute!"

"I remember the cultivation process showed as 16 hours last time, right? That's correct, isn't it?"

Kūki nodded with a wry smile, while Natsuno looked like she was about to cry: "I can't last 16 hours, I'm doomed!"

"But it's already like this, there's nothing we can do. Xiaomeng, why don't you come and help out too? Learn a bit, and we can take turns!"

Natsuno never imagined that the power of authority could be so stubborn; he only felt exhausted.

Fortunately, Mewtwo has a strong learning ability and quickly mastered the method after observing from the sidelines.

They worked through the night, alternating between these two methods, before finally getting one egg.

Natsuno stared at his dark circles and the egg on the table, then collapsed to the ground.

Xiaomeng was also in poor condition at this time, feeling drowsy and lethargic.

After instructing Dr. Kuroki to take good care of the egg, Natsuno returned to her room and went straight to sleep.

He didn't wake up until evening and went to the lab to check on the egg.

The three Dragonite guarded the egg, indicating that they were on high alert and the security was at its maximum.

Upon hearing Natsuno's footsteps, the three adorable orange creatures instantly revealed fierce eyes and let out a warning roar.

But once they realized it was Natsuno, the three adorable creatures' eyes instantly cleared, filled with a longing to come up and hug Natsuno.

After glancing at the eggs surrounding them, the Dragonites managed to suppress their impulse.

However, Natsuno took the initiative to walk towards the eggs, and the fat ones were overjoyed. They surrounded Natsuno and started sucking on her, hugging and cuddling her.

Natsuno couldn't resist and could only enjoy it. Only after the fat ones had expressed their emotions enough did Natsuno have time to check on the eggs.

At this moment, Z2 couldn't help but exclaim, "I can't believe you actually did it! Amazing!"

'The influence of the power of authority penetrates deep into genes and is passed down through generations; before this, no non-legendary Pokémon had successfully broken free from its influence.'

"Of course, no one knew about genes before you, not even someone of my legendary authority could see these subtle structures."

Xia Ye couldn't help but raise his head slightly: Lord Order actually praised me for the first time ever! If you're so good at talking, then say more!

Z2 noticed Natsuno's subtle expression, but pretended not to see it.

'In the past, all authorities believed that once powers became entangled, they could never be separated unless the authority itself intervened to reclaim them.'

'This is true of all the authorities I know of; they are powerless to entangle themselves with the authorities of other beings.'

'You may not know what this means, but I'll tell you, this egg is no longer affected by the entanglement of power, not even by its offspring.'

'Human intelligence is truly terrifying.'

Chapter 389 Little Blue: No, how did you know?

Natsuno's lips were practically curled into a smile, and he gave Z2 a thumbs-up in the opposite direction.

"If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known what to do."

"Besides, without Xiaomeng, I probably wouldn't have succeeded this time either; I couldn't have persisted for that long."

"In short, we owe our success to you all. It's so great that you're back, Master Lan!"

At this moment, a notification came from the system in Xia Ye's mind.
