Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

"Oh dear, my house! What happened? Twilight Water Town has never been flooded like this before!"

An old man was holding a telescope and gazing in a certain direction: "Sigh, I still can't see the island today."

As Xia Ye arrived, everyone looked at him... Xiao Lan, who was beside him, didn't notice Xia Ye's face for a while, belatedly realizing it.

The 1.2-meter-tall Pokémon with the appearance of a hound that I've never seen before in the Pokédex is really eye-catching.

Several police officers were maintaining order when the person in charge found a Officer Jenny and introduced Natsuno to her.

"This is Lord Natsuno. You should know him. He is heading there now, so please take him there."

"Your Excellency, Officer Jenny is currently the most capable person in our Twilight Water Town to complete a sea voyage. Please trust her."

Xia Ye nodded, waved goodbye to the person in charge who kept looking back at Xiao Lan, and nodded to Officer Jenny.

Officer Jenny saluted the person in charge, looking at Natsuno with admiration and respect: "Hello, sir, I am Officer Jenny. I will guide you to your destination safely!"

After saying that, Officer Jenny picked up the whistle hanging around her neck and blew it several times.

The water churned, and a massive creature suddenly emerged, splashing water everywhere. The people on the outskirts retreated several meters away. It turned out to be a roaring whale king.

Looking at this behemoth that was over ten meters long, Natsuno marveled and, at Officer Jenny's invitation, climbed onto the back of the Wailord.

With Officer Jenny's command, the Roaring Whale Dynasty set off towards the distant sea.

The large creature braved the wind and waves, twisting and turning in the waterway, and soon a towering tower appeared in front of Xia Ye.

The massive tower covers a vast area when viewed from the side, and is shrouded in clouds and mist at its top, making it difficult to see its entirety at a glance.

Natsuno waved to Officer Jenny and said, "Thank you for your help. You can go back now."

Officer Jenny waved her hand gently: "Although I don't know what you're planning to do, it would be troublesome to leave afterward, wouldn't it? I'll just wait for you here."

Xia Ye shook his head: "My companion has already memorized the way. You should go back. Mushui Town needs your help more."

After saying that, Xia Ye led Xiao Lan towards the Pillar of Sky. The closer they got, the smaller they seemed. The surroundings were silent, and Xia Ye didn't dare to breathe.

After landing, Xiao Lan looked up at the top of the tower and frowned slightly.

Silently approaching the entrance, Xiao Meng appeared and pushed open the massive stone door a crack.

Natsuno took a deep breath and stepped inside.

He would occasionally recall the nightmare of riding his bicycle up the Sky Pillars when playing the Gem Grab version of the game, including those modified versions based on Gem Grab, where the Sky Pillars were a real headache.

The internal structure is exactly the same as what Natsuno saw in the game, with a large hole in the middle and you can only climb up by going around the edges.

Looking at the void that stretched straight to the sky, Natsuno suddenly had an idea: "Hey! Can't we just fly up there? Why do we have to climb the stairs?"

The game won't let me fly, fine, but in real life I can't fly either? Do you think I'm stupid?

Xia Ye immediately whistled: "Ace pilots, step forward!"

A luxurious ball flew up from his body, flashed red light, and Little K leaped out, flicked his blue bangs, and flew out, intending to circle around once.

Unexpectedly, the outer perimeter was fine, but just as I was about to fly into the central hole area, my body sank uncontrollably and was knocked to the ground in a second.

Xia Ye was shocked and ran over. At this moment, Xiao Ke transformed into a free-range chicken and walked out of the central area step by step.

Xia Ye breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to feel for it, but there was no reaction, so he couldn't help but scratch his head.

Xiao Lan spoke up: "Due to the restrictions on authority, just walk up honestly."

Chapter 453 Progress on the Outer Side of the Energy Barrier

Xia Ye was speechless: "No-fly zone? What does that mean? The Sky Pillar is hundreds of meters high. Wouldn't it be exhausting to climb up there?"

A lightbulb seemed to go off in my head: "Hey! If it won't work inside, I can just fly from the outside, right?"

Xiao Lan shook her head again: "Do you think the other side is stupid? Things are like this inside and no arrangements have been made outside?"

"I bet there's an airflow around the top of the Sky Pillar that no one can fly in; they can only watch from the outside."

Natsuno shrugged and spread his hands: "Then let's do it this way, let's climb the tower."

Just as he was about to put away the hair-shaped bird by taking out Little K's deluxe ball, he suddenly had another idea.

"Wait a minute, the only restrictions are in the middle, right? The surrounding area should be fine, right? Let Little K carry us up the tower at low altitude to speed things up!"

As they spoke, Xiao Ke understood his meaning, flew around the edge of the area, successfully reached the second-floor stairwell, and then turned back.

Xia Ye gave a thumbs up and patted Xiao Ke's head: "Let's go, speed to the top!"

Actually, Natsuno wanted to ride Xiaolan up, but he felt that the other party wouldn't agree.

In dog form, which is 10% of Zygarde, the running speed reaches 100 kilometers per hour. At 1.2 meters tall, it shouldn't be too much of a burden to carry Natsuno.

The idea of ​​riding a dog with ripped pants was out of the question, and since Xiao Lan would never agree, Xia Ye gave up on the idea.

With a flap of its wings, Xiao Ke arrived at the entrance to the second floor in a few moments. Xia Ye couldn't help but take a look at the scene on the second floor.

There's no difference; the floor looks perfectly intact, there's no risk of collapse, and it's fine to walk on.

I climbed the tower in circles, not knowing how many floors I reached, but the decorations all around were exactly the same, very monotonous.

However, after climbing to a certain height, the faint sounds of clashes could be heard from the upper levels, as if someone was fighting.

Xiao Lan paused, and Xia Ye waved his hand: "It's Qianli and Manchong, right? They originally planned to awaken Rayquaza."

Looking up, Xia Ye saw that there were still countless floors to go, and he shook his head and sighed.

The vehicle has changed. Little Kefei got tired and ate a lot of energy cubes, so he went back into the ball to rest. Now it's Little Cai flying.

The energy wings that Xiao Cai sketched for herself looked crystal clear, comparable to works of art, and the line continued to climb upwards.

The higher you go, the clearer the sounds of battle become. After climbing several more floors, you finally see people.

The combat training had temporarily stopped, and Senri and Manchō looked over at the same time.

Flying Smeargles are nothing special, but the green and black hound Pokémon is something they've never seen before.

Natsuno stepped forward and shook hands: "Hello, Master Senri, I am Natsuno."

The middle-aged man shifted his gaze from Xiao Lan and came up to shake hands with Xia Ye: "Greetings, sir. I've long admired your name."

As Xiao Cai gently waved her tail, the energy wings on her back turned into starlight and dissipated, Man Chong's eyes widened.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

The thin boy, Manchū, had such light green hair that Natsuno almost mistook what he was seeing for N.

Turning back, Natsuno initiated a telepathic communication: 'Looks like you're still training him to be a fully charged helper; he hasn't reached the required level yet, has he?'

Qianli's pupils dilated, his mind reeling, and he gently shook his head.

'You haven't told him what to do yet, have you?'

Qianli shook his head again, glancing almost imperceptibly at the sky.

"It's alright, I'm here now. You can leave the matter of waking Rayquaza to me; it's absolutely safe."

"Master Qianli, just lend me a hand. Let's speed things up and minimize the damage as much as possible."

'No need for training after a full charge, let's go straight for the top.'

After saying that, Xia Ye nodded to Qian Li, and Xiao Cai waved her tail again to start sketching. This time, she wasn't drawing wings, but a bird.

She was getting a little tired of flying in circles, climbing the tower-like structure.

The energy eagle gently flapped its wings and landed in front of Xia Ye. Xia Ye picked up Xiao Cai and climbed up, and Xiao Lan jumped onto its back with a push of its four legs.

"Then I'll take my leave first. Please quicken your pace a bit, you two."

Without waiting for a response, Xia Ye gently patted Xiao Cai's arm. The latter understood, and the Energy Pidgeot took off, arriving at the stairwell of the next floor within seconds.

Qianli shook his head, took out two balls from his pocket, released two giant swallows, boarded one of them, and gestured for Manchong to board the other.

"Full charge, let's speed things up."

Man Chong shook his head at this moment: "Mr. Qianli, please tell me, what exactly do I need to do?"

"Disasters are happening all over the Hoenn region, but Mr. Senri brought me here. There must be some way to resolve the crisis, right?"

Seeing the gleam in Manchong's eyes, Chisato couldn't help but admire him.

"Sharp intuition, excellent judgment. Now that Natsuno is here, I'll just tell you directly."

"Let's go up first, we can talk as we walk, so Natsuno won't have to wait."

...

"Haste makes waste; stay calm, handle every detail carefully!"

On the Phantom Island, Adam is commanding his Pokémon to completely overwhelm Ruby and Sapphire's combined attack, constantly pointing out their weaknesses.

Despite being completely suppressed, Ruby still managed to find an opening to ask, "Master, when will we finally stop training?"

"The battle between Groudon and Kyogre is still ongoing. If this continues, the Hoenn land will sink!"

Adam stroked his beard: "Don't rush, the flow of time here is different from the outside world. Just give it your all!"

...

"In other words, Xia Ye broke through the energy barrier and entered by having Xiao Meng activate her authority. Can we replicate his method?"

Outside the Hoenn energy barrier, a temporary camp has been set up at sea, where people from Kanto and Castle who came with Natsuno are discussing countermeasures.

Calling it a camp isn't entirely accurate; it was actually a group of people temporarily landing on the back of a whale king that had been injured and treated and had become friendly with them.

Although Zhu Lan's expression remained relatively calm, Gadriya, who was holding her hand, could sense that the blonde beauty's hand was trembling slightly.

However, Xiaoya couldn't care less about these things; her expression revealed undisguised worry.

Professor Oak shook his head as he looked at the aquatic Pokémon around him relentlessly attacking the energy barrier.

"As everyone has just experimented many times, ordinary energy is completely ineffective unless an authority exists."

"But we don't know where to find these beings, it's a problem."

As they were speaking, three streaks of light suddenly flashed across the sky at high speed, accompanied by the sound of thunder and the whooshing of air.

The group turned around and saw three streaks of light flying straight toward them. Their companions became wary and rushed forward to stop them.

Only when they got closer could the group see what it was: three familiar and tall Pokémon, with people on their backs.

"Everyone, the Ho-Oh Guard has arrived to provide backup!"
