Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

"Dive into the underwater cave, retrieve the orb from Mt. Sagami, and stop the two Pokémon!"

Chapter 448 How to Enter Hoenn

In the outer region of Hoenn, a plane is crashing uncontrollably into the sea.

It was only a few kilometers from the land, yet it became an insurmountable barrier.

The hatch opened, and Natsuno and the others summoned their respective flying Pokémon and abandoned the plane.

By this time, they were not far from land, and the storm seemed to have weakened somewhat.

As soon as they stepped out of the cabin, a wave of heat hit them as if it would melt them instantly. Natsuno was covered in sweat and directed Xiao Ke to fly towards the land.

The same was true for everyone else; they flew through the storm, struggling to move forward.

It took the group more than ten minutes to fly more than halfway across the short distance of just a few kilometers.

Xia Ye wiped the increasing sweat from his forehead, and a surprised voice came through the short-range communication headset.

"Look at the sea!"

Natsuno looked down and noticed a color difference on the sea surface: the color turned black from below, and became darker the closer to Hoenn.

All the way to the vicinity of the Hoenn landmass, there appeared a distinct black line, while the seawater further into the Hoenn area was a normal blue.

Upon closer inspection, the black color is due to the accumulation of a large number of aquatic Pokémon, making it appear completely black.

The black waves surged toward the Hoenn landmass, but paused at the moment they reached the boundary line, sliding down the invisible barrier.

Oki was the first to notice something was wrong: "There seems to be a huge energy barrier around Hoenn, isolating it from the outside world!"

As they drew closer, the group lowered their altitude and advanced toward the boundary line.

As they drew closer, a series of muffled, thunderous collisions echoed as the aquatic Pokémon frantically charged at the invisible barrier, only to be blasted away by the reverse impact.

When physical attacks proved ineffective, the aquatic Pokémon changed tactics, launching attacks from a distance towards the invisible energy barrier.

"Zizi~"

Various attacks were launched at the energy barrier, but none of them had any effect.

Xiao Meng leaped out and launched the ball, exclaiming in unison with Xiao Lan on Xia Ye's shoulder: "It's a barrier constructed by the power of authority!"

'Ordinary forms of energy are almost ineffective!'

At that moment, the voices of Daiki and his group came through the communication headset, seemingly contacting people in other regions.

"You've arrived around Hoenn too, right? You've discovered an invisible energy barrier that you can't break through even with all your strength?"

"We're in the same boat here. Let's see if working together will work!"

Xia Ye immediately informed the others about Xiao Meng and Xiao Lan's discovery on the communication channel, and everyone fell silent.

At the same time, the celestial phenomena in the sky changed again.

The rainfall that fell below resumed its momentum, gradually pushing back the previously dominant sunshine.

After a struggle, sunshine and rain once again divided the sky equally, and the temperature seemed to have dropped a bit... just kidding!

Unfortunately, the group was located right on the border. Natsuno's left side was dry, but his right side had been soaked by a few drops of rain.

Natsuno, who had accidentally gotten raindrops on her skin, yelled, "Kei, quickly move to Rizhao's side!"

"I'll beat him to a pulp! Who told you to put him in boiling water?!"

Back in the sunlit area, Natsuno stared wide-eyed at the moisture on her skin that had just been wet with raindrops.

Although saying it was boiling water is an exaggeration, Natsuno felt that the rainwater was at least 40 or 50 degrees Celsius, which was very uncomfortable.

The others reacted quickly and escaped unharmed. Xia Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling so hot that he wished he could take off his short-sleeved shirt and show off his eight-pack abs.

At this moment, the Pokémon in the sea also moved to a different location and then launched another attack on the invisible energy barrier.

Yishu and the others also took out their Poké Balls and released their Pokémon to join the attack, but to little avail.

With a twitch of his shoulder, Natsuno sensed that Xiaolan seemed to leap into the air, sensing something.

Xiao Meng did the same thing, floating in mid-air near the invisible energy wall, trying to sense the power energy contained within it.

Natsuno knew in his heart that only authority could deal with authority, but he did not stop the others from attacking.

After a while, Xiao Meng and Xiao Lan stopped what they were doing and floated back to Xia Ye's side.

Is there any way?

'Maintaining the energy barrier covering the entire Hoenn landmass solely through the power of authority is something even the Primordial Sea and the End cannot achieve; the power of authority contained within it is only a portion.'

'It seems to be an authority derived from the ocean itself. Xiaomeng should be able to open a small opening by using the authority's full power, but the consequences are unknown.'

Xiao Lan returned to Xia Ye's shoulder, her tone serious.

Xiaomeng looked at her fist, nodded in affirmation of the other party's statement, and stared at Xia Ye, waiting for his instructions.

Xia Ye frowned: "I've seen the results of the collision of powers: a massive explosion! Even a trace entangled in the genes can cause a massive explosion!"

"This is no longer a simple matter of minor entanglement; the consequences are unknown. It will definitely blow up everything within a radius of several kilometers, right? Is there any possibility of a more gradual evolution?"

Xiao Lan then revealed herself and shook her head: 'It's just that two completely incompatible things will eventually clash.'

'Do you remember when we accidentally brought Xiaomeng into being? I perfectly balanced the authority of the Three Sacred Birds with my authority of order.'

Xia Ye's eyes lit up: "Then why don't we just use your authority?"

Watching the aquatic Pokémon below frantically crash into the invisible energy barrier, Natsuno pointed to the energy barrier, which was now rippling slightly.

"Isn't this obviously disrupting order? Shouldn't you try to suppress it?"

Xiao Lan turned around and rolled her eyes at Xia Ye: 'It's not like that. You shallow human, I can't explain it to you.'

'The energy barrier has now established a new equilibrium, which I cannot interfere with.'

'But even if the order within the energy barrier itself is broken, I can restore it to its original order.'

Xia Ye scratched his head and waved his hand: "Just tell me directly whether it's feasible, and how risky it is. Don't go off on tangents."

'It means: Xiaomeng will use her combat authority to create an opening first, and my order authority can maintain order and prevent an explosion.'

Natsuno's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand urging, "Then what are we waiting for? Go go go! Saving the world depends on you!"

"Don't rush. We can't maintain this situation for too long, nor can we open the breach too wide. It's estimated that only one person can get through at a time."

"Can't we open an opening from the inside after we get through to let others in?"

Xiao Lan shook her head: 'No, this method can only be implemented when the person in question isn't paying attention. If they find out, there's no possibility of anything other than a fierce confrontation.'

Natsuno kept his head in the same position, having already turned off the communicator beforehand to ensure no one could hear what he was saying.

"What else is there to say? Just go in! Only those of you around me have the authority; anyone else going in won't make a difference."

Xiao Lan glanced at the others and nodded as well.

'Xiao Meng, make your move!'

Chapter 449 Cluster Metamorphosis

'No, let's sneak away to a location where no one can see us before we strike!'

Little K flapped its wings and moved to a different location. Everyone was busy attacking the energy barrier, so no one noticed this scene.

Of course, aside from the two girls, Zhu Lan and Xiao Ya, who occasionally glance at Xia Ye.

Seeing that Natsuno had moved, the two of them had an idea and directed their partner to move closer to Natsuno as well.

Xia Ye took the dreamlike luxury ball out of his pocket and gently touched the sleeping dream in his arms.

"Dream, why don't you go into the luxury sphere and rest first? We'll take care of the problem once you wake up."

A red light flashed, and the dream was captured into the ball, which Natsuno then put into his pocket for safekeeping.

There's another special Poké Ball lying dormant here. Despite such a huge incident, the Celebi inside the GS Ball didn't even flinch.

On the other side were three feathers. Natsuno slapped his forehead: I forgot about these three. They are all birds of power. How could a world crisis not come?

Natsuno pulled out the three feathers of authority and activated his superpower.

A few seconds later, Natsuno frowned: The superpower has disappeared again. What's going on? It vanished at the crucial moment?

However, Natsuno couldn't worry about that now, because the celestial phenomena were fluctuating again.

Sunlight and rainfall began to pull back and forth, eroding each other, causing giant waves to surge at sea and the earth to tremble.

Everyone turned to look at the central area of ​​Hoenn, where a huge energy storm could be vaguely sensed forming.

Xia Ye was startled: judging from the situation, Gu Gai had fully recovered and begun to fight!

'No time to think, Xiaomeng and Xiaolan, it's up to you two! Let's go!'

The moment the mental command was given, Xiaomeng's body disappeared.

At the same time, Xiao Lan's body floated into the air again, and invisible energy threads spread outwards. Green cells from the ground, water, and air continuously converged on Xiao Lan, shining brightly.

Cluster deformation!

A dozen seconds later, Xiao Lan's body transformed into 50% of its original form, standing 5 meters tall, resembling the Yamata no Orochi.

The sudden appearance of such a colossal object instantly drew everyone's attention, even though Natsuno managed to move to a corner.

Xia Ye leaped up and jumped onto Xiao Lan's back, while simultaneously pulling Xiao Ke away with the ball in his right hand, without any hesitation.

At this moment, Xiaomeng's fist had gathered an indescribable, dazzling energy, and she slammed her fist into the energy wall.

An invisible wave spread, and Xiao Lan's body, along with Xia Ye, vanished instantly, reappearing in front of the small opening in the energy barrier, her body surging with power energy.

The opening, only forty or fifty centimeters in diameter, was held in place, while Natsuno's body was launched out.

The two women, who were already approaching Xia Ye, watched very carefully. Xia Ye's body arrived at the breach almost simultaneously with Xiao Lan's authority energy.

Xiao Lan's body began to dissipate, and her cells returned to their original locations, leaving only her core hanging on Xia Ye's back, which instantly entered her through the opening.

Along with Xiaomeng, who was thrown away by the energy barrier, her body turned into red light and entered the Poké Ball on Xia Ye's body, following the latter into the interior.

Boom!

A second later, the loud noise of Xiao Meng attacking the energy barrier was heard, accompanied by the anxious calls of Zhu Lan and the other two girls.
