Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

Having said that, the three birds flapped their wings again and disappeared into the horizon.

Lugia also bowed her head to thank Natsuno and Ran, and offered Natsuno two feathers, which were still quickly preserved by Kuki.

Natsuno replied, "Be careful, don't get caught again, it's very embarrassing."

Lugia nodded repeatedly, then plunged into the sea, disappearing completely amidst the whirlpool.

Crimson and Little Yellow headed towards the sea, their purpose unknown. Natsuno ignored them and gave Crystal a thumbs-up as she approached.

"Well done, Crystal! The task was completed very well, and there's no need to search for anything else."

Crystal smiled shyly, but her gaze unconsciously drifted towards the direction where Suicune had disappeared, a determined glint in her eyes.

Crystal then bowed to Natsuno: "Thank you for your trust, Natsuno-ge, and thank you, Champion Cynthia, for your support of the school."

At this moment, Ajin leaned close to Natsuno and joked, "Kind-hearted... Brother Natsuno, could you teach me your disguise skills?"

"Are your disguise skills good enough? Can you make a boy pretend to be a girl? I'll try to sneak into the women's bathhouse. Oh dear, I was wrong, class representative!"

But then Crystal slapped Ah Jin: "You should be thinking about healthy things!"

Ajin shook his head at Crystal repeatedly: "Class representative, I'm telling you, you're meddling too much. This isn't a school."

On the other side, the siblings were looking around, preparing to slip away, when Natsuno called them back.

"Don't rush off yet, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Xia Ye's gaze fall upon her, Bi Lan instantly transformed into a protective mother hen, shielding Xiao Yin behind her.

"Evil Gengar, what are you trying to do? Let me tell you, we're even!"

Xia Ye rolled his eyes: "I didn't mean to talk to you. I just wanted to tell you that your mission is complete and you can leave."

Then he looked at Xiaoyin, and seeing that face that looked so much like Sakaki's, Natsuno actually felt a little uneasy.

Why do I keep feeling like the other person is about to open their mouth and speak in Giovanni's tone?

In fact, after the camera recorded it, some people in the live stream also noticed something interesting.

Wait a minute, this boy's face looks so familiar, what's going on?

I didn't have time to pay attention to this when the battle was getting intense, but now that I look at it, it looks a bit like Giovanni?

At that moment, Natsuno silently said to Gin, "Gin, I know clues about your past."

The latter's pupils contracted sharply, and she gently patted Bilan's shoulder: "Sister, it's okay. If he wanted to harm us, we would have acted already."

Azure muttered a few words: "Evil Gengar is terrifying. Be careful he doesn't bewitch you. Don't believe a word he says!"

Natsuno gently patted Takeran's waist with her left hand: "Takeran-chan, I'm going to say a few words to this boy. I'll be right back. Don't miss me too much."

After saying that, he took Xiao Yin directly into the woods, a place where there was no one.

Looking at Xiaoyin's face, Xia Ye suddenly became speechless, and after speaking, he started talking about unrelated things.

"Um, Silver, what are your thoughts on Team Rocket and Giovanni?"

"Yes, the ambitious man who intends to overturn the relationship between Pokémon and humans and rule the world, and the organization he established."

Will you support it?

Xiao Yin could no longer maintain her cold expression and looked at Xia Ye with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"If I support him, why would I need to help stop Sakaki later?"

"You probably know what my sister and I went through. We were kidnapped and raised by a masked man when we were young, and we lost contact with our relatives."

"I could never agree to someone severing their bond with Pokémon, let alone support them."

Seeing Xiaoyin's serious expression, Xia Ye's eyes darted around several times, but in the end, he didn't choose to tell Xiaoyin directly.

"The clues to your relatives are in the Kanto region, in Evergreen City. You'll have to find the rest yourself."

Xiao Yin's face lit up with joy, and she nodded gently to Xia Ye: "I understand, thank you."

He then returned to Azure's side and whispered a few words to her.

The latter glanced warily at Natsuno frequently: "Can we trust what that guy says?"

"Anyway, let's just treat this as a trip to Guandu to clear our heads. Anyway, there are no clues left now."

At this moment, Akin suddenly sighed: "Actually, I wanted to participate in this Johto Tournament. With your strength, Grandpa would have won the championship in no time, right?"

"Unfortunately, I was busy running around trying to stop the masked man, and I didn't get a single badge. The tournament is about to start, and it's too late."

Xiao Yin thought for a moment, then took out eight badges from his pocket and stuffed them into A Jin's hand.

"Nobody took it from me, so I'm giving it to you."

Chapter 431 The Rockets' Third Declaration

Xiao Yin remained calm and composed, and Xia Ye instantly understood what was going on.

Just look at how Azure steals chickens and dogs everywhere; Silver's "if no one talks to me, I'll assume it's for me" skill is also used to perfection.

A Jin was surprised by the unexpected surprise and took it without hesitation, putting it in his arms and patting Xiao Yin's shoulder hard.

"Little Silver, you're a good guy. If you ever need any help, just call me. Grandpa A-Jin can do anything!"

"I just heard you say you're going to Kanto? Don't rush off yet. Wait until I win the tournament and take the Johto championship before you go."

Seeing that Ah Jin was full of boasting and had even accepted the badge that Xiao Yin had stolen, Crystal immediately wanted to teach Ah Jin a lesson.

Seeing that things were not going well, the latter immediately made a run for it: "I have something to do, I'm leaving now, see you at the conference! Bye-bye!"

Akin sped off, and Crystal waved goodbye to Natsuno Takeran before chasing after him.

Xiao Yin and Bi Lan also left directly. The latter did not forget to turn back and glare fiercely at Xia Ye, who was completely dumbfounded.

Daiki and Kuki waved to Natsuno: "Natsuno, let's go back to Kuki's research institute. It's fully equipped there. Let's collect the genetic information of the three legendary beasts and Lugia first."

After saying that, the two left directly. A-Du looked around, and Natsuno asked curiously, but the latter shook his head.

"Did you see Crimson? He should go back to Kanto and take charge of the affairs that the champion should be in charge of."

Natsuno shrugged, and Awatari looked over again: "Is the matter here settled? What are you going to do next?"

Natsuno shook his head: "Let's watch the Johto Tournament first, and think about the rest later. Let's go."

"Very well, we owe you a lot for the breeding of Dragonite. The Dragon Envoy Clan will owe you a great favor, but please feel free to ask if you need anything."

...

"Give the order to take over all the bases left behind by Uncle Liu."

"This was the agreed-upon compensation from the beginning. We let Liu Bo use the Rockets' name, and now everything is ours."

"I don't trust Uncle Liu. I'll start transferring all the resources from each base immediately."

In a forest in the southern suburbs of Mankin City, Sakaki looked at Masato, who had been hiding there with a number of his subordinates, and gave him orders.

The latter nodded respectfully: "Yes, but...where are we moving to? Are we abandoning all the bases here?"

Behind Masato, the three former company commanders, Ryo, Ken, and Harry, looked at Sakaki with tears in their eyes.

"Boss, it really is you! I'm so happy to see you again!"

"Boss, please lead us forward again! We are willing to go through fire and water for you!"

Sakaki nodded in satisfaction and gave the three of them an encouraging look.

"Go forth, issue our true declaration, and let more like-minded people join our organization."

The three men saluted respectfully: "Yes!"

They then led a group of henchmen toward Manjin City, their target being the long-suffering Broadcast Tower.

After most of the people left, Giovanni looked at Masato again: "Kanto is the root of Team Rocket."

"Let's leave some bases here and let our men deal with them for a while. Then we'll head back to Kanto."

...

"This flavor is unlike anything you've ever tasted! Try it!"

In Hinoki Town, Natsuno and his two companions were enjoying a special dish of Slowpoke tail meat, a specialty of Johto.

This was a farmhouse restaurant, but the generous Gadria booked the entire place and used her superpowers to keep the owner and his family from talking, so as not to reveal the whereabouts of Natsuno and the others.

Seeing that even Xia Ye was being asked for an autograph by the boss's youngest son, Xiao Ya couldn't help but want to make sarcastic remarks, but for some reason, she kept her mouth shut.

At the table next to them, the three's friends were devouring Pokémon-themed treats, their mouths greasy with oil.

Xia Ye and Xiao Ya sat on either side of Zhu Lan. Every time Xia Ye ate a delicious dish, he would feed it to Zhu Lan.

Seeing the two being so affectionate, Gadriya pouted and picked up a piece of meat to feed Zhulan.

As the two of them went back and forth, Zhu Lan's bowl was piled high with food, and her mouth even bulged out, turning her into a hamster, unable to finish eating it all.

In the end, Zhu Lan could only glance at the two of them helplessly, and only then did they stop and eat their own food.

At this moment, Xiao Huan, who had no mouth, walked to the side, turned on the radio, and switched to a music channel that was playing a bitter song.

Coupled with Xiao Huan's current tearful and aggrieved expression as a red duck, it's simply heartbreaking.

Xia Ye sighed and walked over to tune the radio back to the Manjin Broadcasting Channel, then patted Xiao Huan's head.

"It's not that I don't want you to eat, but you're just a cute Porygon2, you can't eat anything."

"It can't even open its mouth, so it probably doesn't have any digestive organs or anything like that inside."

"If we really want to enable the Polygons to eat, I wonder how far human technology will have to develop before that's possible."

Xiao Huan continued to feel wronged, but could only watch everyone eat longingly. Before, Xiao Yuan would drool with her, but now that was gone.

After sitting down again, Natsuno drank some iced soda and couldn't help but shiver.

"Winter is the perfect time to drink iced soda! It's a shame there's no ice cream here, otherwise ice cream would be the perfect match in winter!"

"Eating hot pot while listening to Miss Walnut's radio show, that's what I call comfortable!"

Before Natsuno could finish his exclamation, he heard static coming from the radio again.

Having already heard of this kind of unexpected situation twice, Natsuno almost spat out a mouthful of ice water.

"Not a buddy? Still coming? Is the broadcast tower some cheap thing? You think you can just hack into it like that?"
