Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

"Cattleya, Xiaoya, you're invincible!"

"Dear viewers, since this program has no sponsors, there are no prizes. The first World Family Tree Fruit Balancing Competition has come to a successful conclusion. Thank you for watching!"

Zhu Lan smiled and ended the live stream. Xiao Ya finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then the tree fruit on her head slipped off.

At the same time, because she had been standing for a long time and felt a little dizzy, Xiaoya accidentally stepped on a fallen fruit and fell backward uncontrollably.

"ah!"

Xia Ye was shocked. In order to prevent any breathing from affecting the game, all his teammates had moved several meters away, and he was the closest to Xiao Ya.

In his haste, he even forgot he had superpowers. He ran quickly, using both his hands and feet, and as he ran, he reached out to grab Xiaoya's hand.

Unexpectedly, a fallen tree fruit rolled under his feet, and his speed increased.

thump!

"hiss..."

Chapter 498 New Year's Gift

Xia Ye, who had inexplicably fallen onto Xiao Ya, now met her gaze. He placed his hand behind Xiao Ya's head and gently lifted her up.

"Thank goodness, the back of your head was saved, and the little bit of your brain was saved too. Shouldn't you thank me for that?"

Looking at the superpowered young lady with dilated pupils in front of her, Xia Ye turned her head away, and gently withdrew her hand as she stood up.

And temporarily ignore the inexplicable increase in his heart rate, as well as the phenomenon of feeling Xiaoya's heart rate increase when he was lying on her.

Xia Ye casually shook his hand and looked at Zhu Lan: "It's getting late, I'm going to take a shower first."

She then walked away, while her companions surrounded Xiaoya, offering their concern and greetings. Zhu Lan moved gracefully, squatted down next to Xiaoya, and smiled as she watched her.

The superpowered young lady was still in a daze, her mind a complete mess.

It took her a while to come to her senses amidst her friends' anxious voices. She waved her hand and said, "I'm fine. There was something cushioning my head."

The next second she noticed that Zhu Lan was looking at her with a smile, and she felt inexplicably flustered.

"I didn't, I'm not. Don't overthink it, and don't say anything nonsense. I beg you."

The blonde beauty gently pulled Xiaoya up, tilting her head: "I didn't say anything, and I wasn't thinking anything. What are you talking about, Xiaoya?"

"Did you hit your head? Did Ono not protect your head properly? I'm going to settle the score with him."

Recently, since Xiao Huan finally gained the supreme ability to eat, he has become more talkative and has even passed on his verbal tic to Zhu Lan.

There's no way around it; if you hear phrases ending with "duck duck duck" all day long, you'll unconsciously start imitating them.

At this moment, Xiaoya, whose eyes were flustered by the question, suddenly felt a wrapping sensation on her back and head, as if she were being tightly hugged by something.

But then she saw two strong, muscular arms reaching out from her left and right to touch her head; it was Xiao Yuan.

"Puru puru puru (Little Yuan will pat your head, it'll be fine soon)~"

Although Xiaoyuan has recently mastered telepathic communication, she still prefers to directly blow on the cell fluid to make a watery sound, which is less strenuous.

Feeling the soft, gentle touch from the small round object behind her, Xiaoya instantly relaxed, closed her eyes, and fully enjoyed the sensation.

Who cares if the world ends in the next second, let's enjoy ourselves first.

A few seconds later, she suddenly opened her eyes and saw that the blonde beauty was still smiling at her, even bringing her head close so that they could hear each other's breath.

"Xiaoya, how did it feel just now? Did your heart race?"

The superpowered young lady's eyes widened, completely unexpected that Zhu Lan would ask her this, and her mind went blank for a moment.

"Yes, I think so? No, no, no, that's not right, I don't know, I'm sleepy, I'm going back to sleep!"

At this point, Cattleya fled in panic, without even calling out to her companions.

Her friends looked at each other, wondering what she was doing. Then, at the suggestion of Xiao Cai and the other idea geniuses, they joined in a new round of family games, and the scene was very lively.

As we all know, when taking a shower, people's thoughts tend to wander, making it easy for all sorts of inspirations and ideas to come to mind. It's simpler than dreaming, and the content is also easier to remember.

For some reason, while taking a shower, Xia Ye's mind kept replaying Xiao Ya's thoughts. The more he tried to stop thinking about it, the more he thought about it.

Sometimes Natsuno really wanted to punch his own head: I'm really getting under your control, really, think of something else for me!

After struggling with her brain for quite a while, Natsuno finally managed to complete her bathing task. When she went outside, she saw fireworks going off, and it was almost midnight.

They reached out their hands to each other and walked toward the balcony in perfect unison. After a few steps, their fingers were intertwined as they watched the grand fireworks display.

Zhu Lan suddenly let go of her hand, turned around and stared intently at Xia Ye.

The latter, unaware of what was going on, also turned around and was drawn to the deep light in the blonde beauty's eyes.

"What's wrong, Zhu..."

Just as he was about to ask a question, the next second Natsuno's lips were forcefully sealed by the blonde beauty's lips, causing his pupils to dilate.

Lovers greet the New Year's bells with verbal rituals, silently expressing their simple wish for everyone's dreams to come true year after year.

The group of onlookers exchanged a knowing glance, then quietly left the living room and returned to their respective rooms to rest.

The next day, Natsuno, who was dreaming of his wedding, woke up from a nightmare to find that the bride was actually Cattleya!

His eyes widened as he discovered that Zhu Lan was lying on the edge of the bed, and her mouth was once again covered by his.

A dozen minutes later, Natsuno smacked his lips, savoring the moment, while Zhu Lan blushed and asked, "Good morning, how was your first kiss of the new year?"

Xia Ye's eyes darted around: "The kiss was too fast, I didn't even have time to feel it. Let's have another half hour so I can really experience it properly."

He reached out to hug her, but Zhu Lan gently pushed him away: "Get up quickly, we're going out to play today."

Although he really wanted to sleep in, Natsuno, as the bodyguard, naturally had to obey Takano's instructions.

After changing into the outfit chosen by the blonde beauty, we went to the restaurant for breakfast.

Xiaoya seemed to have returned to normal, and seeing that Xia Ye was still being sarcastic, she said, "Oh, young master is up?"

Why didn't you let Xiao Zhulan bring it to your bedside and feed you herself?

Natsuno opened her mouth to accept the bun that Takeran fed her, looking smug: "It's not that it's not good, but it's still not good enough if Takeran-chan feeds me."

"It would be best if Xiaoya brought it over herself and fed it with bamboo orchid sauce, that would be the treatment of a young master."

Zhu Lan looked at the two bickering and smiled, "The morning should be this lively."

After breakfast, the group boarded their flying companions. Natsuno noticed that the direction they were heading was not quite right, and his eyes showed some confusion.

"I haven't asked yet, where are we going? This direction seems to be on the edge of town? Are we going camping?"

The blonde beauty next to him turned around and smiled mysteriously: "It's a secret for now, you'll find out when we get there."

Natsuno shrugged. Ten minutes later, the group landed at a construction site. There were no people or Pokémon there. The location was on the edge of Godwood Town.

A major highway connects nearby, and there is a river nearby. Various building materials are placed on the construction site.

Holding hands with Zhu Lan, Xia Ye walked around the construction site for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

"This is the place that Zhulanjiang bought? What are they planning to build here? Although it's close to the main road, there aren't many people around. What can they do?"

Zhu Lan remained mysterious: "Xiao Ya and I bought it together. As for what we'll build there, we'll find out in a while."

"This is a gift we're giving you together; consider it a New Year's present for now."

"What's the matter?"

Chapter 499 Pokémon Can Also Operate Excavators

Looking around at the construction site, which stretched as far as the eye could see and probably covered several thousand square meters, Xia Ye was a little bewildered.

Is this what a rich woman is like? Giving gifts so casually?

Xia Ye, whose imagination was limited by his lack of wealth, didn't know what to say. He turned to look and saw that although Zhu Lan was smiling, her eyes held an unyielding determination.

Xiaoya, on the other hand, was much more direct, clenching her fist with a very clear threatening intent.

Natsuno immediately raised her hands in surrender: "Brown Orange! I'll go through fire and water for you, Bamboo Orchid-chan, Xiaoya!"

Seeing that he was willing to accept, the two women finally relaxed. Xiaoya gave him a "you know what's good for you" look, then turned her head away and stopped looking at him.

Natsuno looked around and once again unleashed his limited imagination: "I accept, so tell me what to build, I need to have a plan in mind."

The blonde beauty smiled gently, pointed to his head, and said nothing, leaving Natsuno to guess for himself.

However, his imagination was still somewhat lacking, and he finally looked to Cattleya for help.

The latter ignored him, grabbed Zhu Lan's arm and walked away. The two women walked ahead in hushed tones, pointing and whispering, as if they were planning something.

As a very moral person, Natsuno did not use his superpowers to eavesdrop, but chose to ponder the matter on his own.

Unfortunately, I had no ideas, but instead received a communication request from Dr. Oak.

"Natsuno, Happy New Year! NASA reported a new discovery! Rayquaza is not in the ozone layer at all, and the follow-up search for Porygon in space has yielded results."

"A green energy isolation zone has been discovered in space, and violent energy fluctuations can be heard from inside from time to time."

"Based on the available data, it seems that besides the Polymorphs, only Rayquaza can survive after leaving the planet's oxygen."

"Judging from the feedback from the polygonals, it is very similar to the Authority Energy Isolation Zone."

Natsuno was surprised that Professor Oak had brought up this news, and agreed with the situation.

But then he thought about how many days had passed since the last reminder before the search was completed, and he felt anxious about the efficiency of the space agency.

Of course, he completely forgot that he could have Xiaomeng carry an oxygen tank directly into space to explore, which would have been extremely efficient.

"The problem is that we don't know the specific situation inside the energy isolation zone. What kind of being is Rayquaza fighting? Does it need support?"

"Given the authority and status of the Sky Cleanser, could the other party be some kind of entity that threatens the survival of the planet?"

Professor Oak's tone was serious and worried. Since the Hoenn incident, at least the higher-ups had a clearer understanding of the existence of authority.

The prehistoric events mentioned by Natsuno have gained increased attention, but Natsuno has not yet finished compiling them and releasing them to the public.

Natsuno fell into deep thought: A battle in outer space?

I don't recall there being many Pokémon in outer space, right? Little Meteorite is one, and there's also...

"Deoxys!"

Natsuno blurted out that watching Rayquaza fight the cosmic virus in the movie was quite exciting.
