Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

Natsuno shrugged and followed the two doctors into the broadcast tower, which had just been unsealed, where he met Kurumi, who was sweet-looking and had an even sweeter voice.

The corridor outside the broadcasting room was covered with traces of the moves. Xiaoqian tossed her red hair at the interview camera and made a victory sign.

"Having learned from our previous experience, Manjin already has contingency plans in place to resolve incidents as quickly as possible! Please rest assured that we can leave it to the Alliance!"

Natsuno noticed that this person was still using a broadcasting voice, which created a slight contrast with their youthful and cute appearance.

When the interview ended, Xiaoxi's originally energetic movements and expressions instantly collapsed, and she frowned.

"Sigh, it's a pity that that cadre named Liang got away again. He's even more cunning than the Lada in the sewers!"

"If they don't catch him, will they come back next time? Damn it!"

The two PhDs went up to greet them, and at that moment, Hu Tao finished her morning news program and came out.

Upon meeting Professor Oak, Kurumi, with her sweet appearance and even sweeter but not cloying voice, immediately pleaded with him.

"Professor Oak, you're here! Since you're already here, how about another Pokémon trivia lesson? Professor Elm, you should join us too!"

Thus, the two PhDs were unavoidably pulled into the broadcasting studio.

Because of his skillful disguise, Natsuno only said that he was an assistant and escaped a disaster.

As a result, those who listened to this knowledge mini-class that noon felt as if they had truly returned to the school classroom.

Dr. Kuroki's incredibly rambling speech almost made Ms. Kurumi fall asleep.

They expected to receive a lot of negative reviews, but to their surprise, the majority were positive. Viewers suggested that the broadcasting tower invite Dr. Kongmu to host a sleep aid program in the evening, which would be a boon for insomniacs.

Unfortunately, the deeply hurt Kongmu declined.

Just as the three were about to go to the beach, Qinglu called.

"Natsuno-nii, the mysterious magnetic field has disappeared!"

Chapter 406 Searching for Clues

As early as after hanging up Daigo's communication, Natsuno informed Aomine, asking the Johto Alliance to start from this aspect.

Unexpectedly, just a few hours later, just as the Alliance began searching for the source of the magnetic field, they discovered that the magnetic field had disappeared.

Qinglu's tone was somewhat weary: "Recently, there have been numerous cases in various cities, with newcomers being deceived and unwittingly joining peripheral organizations of Team Rocket, and so on."

"Only Yanmo City, due to the existence of the Dragon Envoy clan, is the closest to the City Alliance headquarters and the most stable."

"Saria's investigation into the Rockets has also reached a stalemate. Natsuno-kun, what do you think Giovanni is up to?"

...

"Everything is ready, and then this perfect work of art is added."

"A lot of energy was used to create this ball, and the special magnetic field it generated even attracted people from the Alliance, almost exposing us."

"However, it was all worth it."

Inside the underground base of Glacier Industry, the masked man toyed with a special Poké Ball that was rainbow-colored on the top and silver on the bottom, his eyes full of admiration.

Carter and Gam said respectfully, "Congratulations, Chief, on achieving your wish. We have just shut down the equipment as you instructed."

"This way, those outermost alliance members will have no chance to achieve anything. Boss, what a brilliant plan!"

The masked man waved his hand: "Stop saying flattering things and focus more on improving your own strength."

"Let them turn the device on and off intermittently. We can use the special magnetic field to keep the Alliance members here and prevent them from interfering with our subsequent plans."

"As for us, let's take the final step."

The masked man couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of achieving his goal.

After more than a decade of hard work and perseverance, his wish was about to come true, and even the seasoned veteran could not suppress his excitement.

After leaving with two trusted subordinates, the masked man even forgot to order someone to come in and clean the laboratory and remove any traces of evidence.

About half an hour later, the figure wearing a Team Rocket uniform entered the laboratory again.

"Looking at the equipment here, it looks like a Poké Ball manufacturing workshop?"

The figure glanced around and quickly went to the central control computer to look up information.

She was overwhelmed by the various drawings, but after flipping through them repeatedly, she finally found the most crucial information.

"Rainbow feathers and silver feathers? What kind of feathers are they? What are Poké Balls made of these materials used for?"

The figure pulled a phone from its chest, took a picture of the scene, and sent it to an account labeled "Xiao Yin".

"The only useful information, its specific purpose is unclear. Judging from their previous search for Lugia, perhaps it's to capture the latter?"

The other party quickly replied: "We have begun surveillance, and we will stop them regardless of their purpose."

Just as I was about to reply, I suddenly heard some commotion outside.

The figure was startled, stuffed the phone back into its chest, and looked around for a place to hide itself.

Soon, three people wearing Team Rocket uniforms pushed open the door and entered. Judging from the color and style of their uniforms, these three were not low-ranking officers, but rather more like squad leaders.

A glint of wisdom flashed in the eyes of the man in the middle: "I always feel that the leader and Guandu are different. Something's not right."

"His orders and style of doing things are completely different from before. Most importantly, his secretary, Masahiro, is not even by his side at all!"

"I suspect this guy who claims to be the leader isn't our Boss Sakaki at all! We need to find evidence!"

"Jian, Harry, you two search the left and right sides, I'll search the middle! Go through all the information in this base!"

"If this isn't the real one, then let's take over the Golden Broadcasting Tower again and bring back the real leader to lead us!"

...

"Let's go. The magnetic field has disappeared, and it'll probably be hard to find any useful clues now."

In the southern forest of Manjin, Qinglv looked at the test data on the equipment screen, shook her head, and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, the device in the officer's hand suddenly beeped again.

"Sir, the equipment is responding again; that magnetic field has reappeared!"

Green turned around and watched as the bird Pokémon that had just landed in the forest flew away in fright, and nodded.

"After putting on our protective gear again, we set off to find the source."

...

"The source is unknown, but this situation has not occurred in the waters further west, closer to Azure City."

On the southwest corner of the beach in Manjin City, Natsuno and his two companions were checking the situation. Magikarp were leaping out of the water, looking very agitated.

Other aquatic Pokémon have disappeared here; you can't see any other species at all.

The Magikarp dispersed and fled into the depths of the ocean, showing no interest in the waters near Goldenrod City.

Because the Pokémon have fled, far fewer people are coming to the beach, and everyone who does come here looks worried.

At that moment, several Pied Eagles flew down from the sky, and several police officers landed with magnetic field detection equipment.

After some investigation, Officer Jenny, who was in charge, reported to the two doctors: "A special magnetic field was indeed detected, and the wavelength is consistent with that detected in the suburban forest."

"However, the wavelength of the magnetic field that promotes malignant evolution provided by Kanto is different, and the magnetic field has been present for several days, but we have not seen a large number of Pokémon evolutions."

“We will soon find the true source of the magnetic field along these boundaries.”

As they spoke, the officers moved back and forth along the beach, adjusting their positions to test the direction where the magnetic field was stronger.

Soon, the officers discovered the direction from which the magnetic field was strengthening: "It's in the South District of Manjin City!"

At that moment, several fast dragons flew down from the sky, carrying people dressed in Devon uniforms and holding several boxes.

"Gentlemen, at your request, we are here to deliver the necessary equipment."

After Natsuno and his two companions packed the components the other party had brought, they set off again towards the southern district of Manjin City.

"The South District is where the industrial zone is located, and it certainly has the conditions to realize these magnetic fields on a large scale. Let's go there quickly."

"If the magnetic field disappears again, we won't be able to find it even if we want to."

With the help of the equipment, the three of them moved very fast, mainly because they didn't see any wild Pokémon along the way, and the journey was smooth.

Upon reaching the southern industrial area, the instruments indicated that the magnetic field suddenly disappeared again.

But as the three of them walked, the magnetic field strength increased, and the industrial area in front of them was filled with the roar of machines, clearly their destination.

Xia Ye looked up at the huge sign above: "Glacier Industrial Technology Park? Glacier Industry? Where have I heard that before?"

Kongmu nodded: "This is the largest technology group in the city. This is their headquarters. The entire industrial park belongs to them."

"They use the core area themselves, and rent out the perimeter to other companies."

"Now that the magnetic field is closed, should we investigate each company one by one, or wait for the magnetic field to reappear?"

Chapter 407 Explosion and the Trapped Azure

Before Natsuno and Professor Oak could even think, they heard a huge explosion suddenly erupt from somewhere.

"Boom!"

It was even stronger than a thunderclap from a clear sky, the sound was deafening, and the three of them felt the earth shake violently.

A large number of people rushed out of the surrounding factory buildings to look around and try to find out the location of the explosion, while the park's security guards also looked around.

The outermost companies checked with each other to confirm that the problem wasn't in their own factories, and then collectively looked towards the core area, the Glacier Industrial Zone.

The guards were puzzled: "That's strange, several minutes have passed and no one has reported it yet?"

Xia Ye glanced at the instrument in his hand; the magnetic field had disappeared. He summoned Xiao Ke and flew up to a high place to look around.

The two doctors followed suit and were about to take off when they heard a guard captain leading a group of men to stop them.

"Oh, you two, oh, you're Professor Oak! And Professor Elm! Hello, both of you professors!"

"Gentlemen, there are some special circumstances in the industrial park area recently. It's best not to summon your Pokémon. Keep them in special containment balls."

Daiki frowned: "May I ask what the special circumstances are? We just arrived here today and don't know any of the rules."

The guard captain shook his head: "I don't know, but that's what Glacier Industries said. Anyway, it's better to be careful."

“Previously, Pokémon would become very uncomfortable as soon as they were released, and since no one from above was doing anything about it, we couldn’t say anything.”
