Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

"I've already had someone extract the samples from the Three Sacred Pillars. Shall I send them to you?"

Chapter 483 Where Has All the Power Gone?

Natsuno immediately praised Daigo in the communication: "Daigo is indeed a good comrade. I was right about you!"

"There's no need to send it over, is there? I'm mainly worried that I might forget to take samples. If you send the columns back, it will be difficult to make arrangements. Taking samples is fine."

"Let Professor Birch analyze it in Hoenn. Anyway, we're going to be working on the World Pokédex soon, so it doesn't matter."

...

"The difference is, did you invite us here this time for cooperation, or to expand the Rockets?"

In a secluded underground base somewhere in Kanto, Akame gently pushed up his glasses, leaned back in his chair, and stared intently at Sakaki sitting in front of him.

Sakaki's lips curled up: "The two of you caused quite a stir in Hoenn, but it was all bark and no bite. Now even the organization has been wiped out."

"Whether our relationship is one of cooperation or superior-subordinate depends on you. I am simply explaining my philosophy and actions to you."

Water Archie hated all these convoluted things the most, and immediately wanted to flip the table and give Sakaki a hard time.

But Chi Yansong grabbed his hand, and Shui Wutong glanced at him before angrily letting go.

Red Flame Pine gently spread his hands: "Mr. Sakaki, as far as I know, your activities in Kanto and Johto have failed. You don't seem to be a good collaborator."

"I admit that the double-explosive gas you provided was very useful, allowing us to escape from the legendary siege, but it is ultimately a minor trick."

"Believe it or not, the person you consider your biggest enemy right now, Natsuno, has already suggested that the League start forming a team of wet Pokémon?"

"While I am surprised that you have been able to regain your power in Kanto so quickly, if that's all you've achieved, you'll only suffer another defeat next time."

"If you have nothing else, I'll have to decline."

After saying this, Crimson Flame Pine nodded slightly, glanced at Water Wutong, and was about to get up and leave.

Sakaki clapped his hands lightly, his smile undiminished: "Please don't be in a hurry. Since I've called you here, there must be something that can impress you two."

"Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on Groudon and Kyogre's defeat? Without the control of the Orbs, you actually stopped acting just because of Natsuno's empty talk."

"Why don't we return the world to the era of Warcraft, where Pokémon are subordinate to humans and unconditionally obey our commands?"

A glint of light flashed in Chiyansong's eyes, and he wanted to say something, but Sakaki spoke first.

"As for how I will do it, you two come with me and you'll see."

...

"I understand, class representative. You're such a good class representative! How could I not understand something like this? I'm Grandpa A-Jin!"

The Johto Tournament resumed after a brief hiatus of a few days due to the Hoenn crisis.

Crystal was explaining some important points to Akin, but the latter looked nonchalant and didn't seem to care about his opponents at all.

A Pichu with the same hairstyle as him was perched on his shoulder, and even their expressions were exactly the same—a casual face.

At this moment, Natsuno walked over and patted Akin's empty shoulder hard. Akin was startled and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming it was Natsuno through his sunglasses and mask.

"Brother, what are you doing? You scared me! Believe me or not, I'll yell and everyone will come and see you."

Natsuno reached out and gave Kin's Pichon a light high five, then shook his head repeatedly.

"Ah Jin, how could you do this? I came here to support you, and you treat your fans like this?"

Crystal greeted him earnestly, making Natsuno feel a little uncomfortable, as if she understood Akin's thoughts.

Natsuno patted Akin on the shoulder again and glanced around: "Where are Silver and Azure? Are they off doing some kind of scam selling players' private information again?"

Ajin's eyes widened, completely unexpected, and his eyes darted around.

Seeing his expression, Xia Ye shook his head: "What are you thinking? Do you think these two are surveillance satellites that can monitor other people's situations around the clock and obtain secret information?"

"Go to sleep, Akin. If you can't sweep everyone away with sheer strength, then you can't become a champion."

At this point, Pichu became unhappy, put its hands on its hips and shouted loudly, looking like it was going to kill everyone with cuteness just by standing there.

Although Natsuno couldn't understand Pichu's language, he could guess the other's emotions from its actions, and patted Pichu's head.

"Alright, alright, I know you guys are very good, but underestimating your opponent is a cardinal sin in warfare. Anyway, keep up the good work."

Natsuno returned to the VIP room prepared in Johto and sat next to Professor Oak, who had just put down his phone.

"According to NASA, the global satellite network is now connected, but the Rayquaza has not been detected in the ozone layer."

"No? How could that be?"

"And I just asked Hoenn, and they said they didn't find it in the Sky Pillar either."

Xia Ye frowned, looking puzzled: "So where did Liekong go? How could such a big dragon just disappear?"

He casually poked the giant green jelly with his superpower: 'Your Excellency, the so-called guardian who monitors the entire planet with your own cells, do you have any news?'

The little blue thing on my shoulder rolled over but didn't reply.

He falls silent when faced with difficult questions; that's just how the Guardian of Order is.

Xia Ye ignored him and waved his hand, saying, "The planet is so big that there are even places that satellites can't observe."

Eh?

Natsuno suddenly stopped: Who said that to me again? Oh right, it was Bing!

Daiki watched as Natsuno suddenly pulled out three Feathers of Authority from his pocket and activated his superpowers again.

Half a minute later, Natsuno stopped moving: "Still no response. Strange, what are the three sacred birds doing? Why can't we find any of the authorities?"

"Did they all go on a team-building trip somewhere just to give me a challenge?"

Natsuno chuckled at his own inexplicable thoughts and shook his head: "Who cares? If we can't find it, so be it. Let's just watch the game!"

It is worth mentioning that, seemingly seeing the success of Kanto's previous Quartz Conference, Johto has begun to follow suit.

Previously, only the winners of the tournament were eligible to enter the championship path. Starting this year, all four finalists can enter, learning from Kanto's method of selecting elites.

Perhaps because of the recent global upheaval, this year's Johto Tournament has garnered a lot of attention, with broadcasts from various regions and high viewership ratings.

During a break, Xia Ye took out his phone and checked the online reviews, and immediately couldn't hold back anymore.

Netizens are just here for entertainment.

[Let me make a bold prediction: this time, the Johto Heavenly Kings will follow in the footsteps of Kanto and Wataru, being speedrunned twice in a short period of time!]

[Stop predicting! I'm a time traveler, I came back from a month in the future. This time, a five-minute champion will emerge in the capital!]

Chapter 484 This is all dragon land, why not take care of them?

Who could hold back this? Natsuno tried to close his mouth, but in the end he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

It's no wonder he's in this situation; it's because Adu and the others, as well as Qinglv, are in an unprecedented situation. They'll probably go down in history, achieving cyber immortality or something.

I reckon that once we get to the regional conferences, people will start bringing up the jokes about A-Du and Qing-Lu, and we'll never be able to get over it again.

Professor Oak had to leave, leaving only Natsuno's family in the private room, so he laughed without restraint.

After laughing for a while, he finally calmed down. His teammates just shook their heads helplessly, not caring about his eccentric behavior at all, and focused on watching some of the games on the sidelines.

Da Meng then revealed his true form and flew around the room, teasing and playing with everyone, having a great time.

Natsuno reached out and grabbed the pink kitten, placing it in front of him. The adorable creature stared at Natsuno with its big eyes, looking completely bewildered.

"Da Meng, you were so sick before, and although you've recovered now, don't you plan to go back and see the World Tree?"

Dreamy scratched its head, mimicking everyone else's usual manner, and tilted its little head to think for a few seconds.

'No need, my recovery means the World Tree is recovered too. We're... but... companions, very close!'

"It's a bond, and what you're doing is more like symbiosis or something. Where did you learn this 'sticky relationship' from?"

"It's Xiao Cai. She said you and Zhu Lan are inseparable."

Dream betrayed Xiao Cai without hesitation and felt no remorse whatsoever.

At that moment, the colorful puppy next to Natsuno twitched its ears and suddenly leaned in, letting out a spoiled bark.

(Xiao Cai used her charm! It worked wonders on Natsuno! Natsuno's attack power dropped to zero!)

Seeing Xiao Cai's ingratiating expression, Xia Ye smiled and shook his head: "I wasn't planning on saying anything to you, and what you said is true."

After saying that, Xia Ye hugged Xiao Cai tightly again and pressed his face against hers: "We're also in a close relationship, hehe."

Seeing Xia Ye and Xiao Cai like this, the others immediately became unhappy and all moved their big and small faces closer. Even Xiao Miao quietly moved over a bit.

Natsuno couldn't bring herself to refuse her friends, so she spent her time in her room kissing her whole family to express her sincere feelings.

Xiaoyuan is a water balloon, Xiaohuan is an inflatable duck, and although Xiaoke is a cold-blooded eagle, his bangs don't hurt when they hit Xiaye's face.

The main reason is that Master Natsuno is very experienced and takes good care of the fur. Including Xiaocai and Xiaomiao, everyone's fur is actually very soft and smooth.

Although the proud and aloof Xiao Miao doesn't seem to like being close to others, she actually loves it when Xia Ye touches her nose with hers, just like a cat.

Although Mewtwo is the tallest in the family, he is the youngest and is almost always by Natsuno's side.

Because everyone in the family expresses their emotions quite directly under Natsuno's influence, Mewtwo doesn't seem to realize that it's a legendary figure with authority. It hugs people whenever it's appropriate and never misses any family activities.

After applying all the stickers, big and small, they even covered the large green jelly and dreamy summer field on the shoulders.

Looking around at the vast expanse of space, and realizing that the Lunar New Year was just over ten days away, Xia Ye felt a moment of disorientation.

At this time last year, I only had Xiao Cai by my side, and I hadn't even finished compiling the genetic theory yet.

Now there are all sorts of people, big and small, and each one is quite strong. They can at least beat a Champion... uh... a top-tier Gym Leader... uh... a lower-tier Gym Leader, and they can definitely beat a beginner Gym Leader.

The Hoenn crisis has awakened other regional leagues, and now the champions and gym leaders of all the major leagues are accelerating their power increases.

This has caused Natsuno's current skill level to gradually decline. He used to be among the top gym leaders, but now he can only barely fight against entry-level gym leaders.

You mean Xiaomeng? A level 90 Legendary Rank expert, she can take down anyone in a second.

Holy crap, you're sending Xiaomeng to fight a gym leader? Level 90 is already a level that even champions and ace players can't reach. And you're talking about authority? You're invincible then.

Xia Ye shook his head, pondering his next plans while glancing at the system task list.

"Dragon Dance? I almost forgot about that! Right! Garchomp's Dragon Dance gene was most likely also punished by the legendary authority."

With the examples of late bloomers and fossil pterosaurs before him, Natsuno, though lacking concrete evidence, intuitively pointed to the influence of power.
