Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

As for the Mega Evolution side story, the mysterious trainer beats up and captures Deoxys with Mega Rayquaza, which is even more exciting.

Anyone who sees this will surely say: Who secretly took this picture of me, and made me look so handsome?

At this moment, Daiki muttered the name Natsuno had mentioned, somewhat surprised: "What is that? Does authority exist? How do you know?"

Natsuno was startled and decided to pin the blame on Little Blue, who monitors the world.

"Ah, it was something else that told me. It doesn't matter. Deoxys, a mythical Pokémon, was revived after being exposed to a cosmic virus."

"Rayquaza seems to have some kind of duty to protect the planet. If Deoxys tries to enter the planet, Rayquaza will treat it as an intruder."

"Right now, it's very likely that Liekong is the one carrying out the purge, and there's nothing we can do to help. We should just let the space agency keep an eye on things and report back as they come."

"If it's really necessary, I'll have Xiaomeng go up and help. Xiaomeng isn't afraid of anyone when it comes to fighting."

Daiki understood the importance and urgency of the matter, and didn't ask any further questions: "Okay, I'll pass it on to them."

"There's one more thing, Natsuno. What are your plans after the New Year? Are you staying in Sinnoh or...? I've heard about it, Cynthia, hmm."

Just as they were talking about Zhu Lan's name, Da Mu suddenly stopped talking: "Thank goodness, I stopped myself. I almost told you. Just pretend I've never heard of it."

Natsuno was somewhat amused and exasperated: "Alright, I guess it was Takeran-chan who specifically mentioned it, right? Then I'll keep looking forward to it."

"I'll stay in Sinnoh for now. If the professor has any special problems he can't solve, just call me. I'll be there whenever you need me."

After hanging up the call, Xia Ye caught up with the two women and continued to tour the construction site, even though he didn't know what was so interesting about it, since no one was operating the excavators.

Huh? An excavator?

Xia Ye's gaze unconsciously lingered on the excavator next to him, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

A few minutes later, under Xiao Huan's professional guidance, Xia Ye successfully started an excavator on the construction site, cheered, and began to dig soil as he learned on the spot.

At this moment, Xiao Cai, who was sitting on Xia Ye's lap, also issued a battle request. Xia Ye scratched his head: "You want to drive one too? Um... it seems there's no law that says TuTu dogs can't drive excavators, so let's give it a try!"

After saying that, Xia Ye put down the control panel and held Xiao Cai in his arms, letting her operate it.

As a very intelligent colorful dog, Xiao Cai operates the excavator even more smoothly and professionally than Xia Ye.

Because of his height, his legs are a bit short, making it a little troublesome to drive, and he has to rely on his telekinesis.

Wearing a safety helmet, he looked like a seasoned excavator operator to Zhu Lan and the other two girls, and Xia Ye was also stunned.

"Xiao Cai, I never knew you had such a talent for operating excavators. How many more surprises are there that I don't know about?"

Xiao Cai is the eldest sister in her family, and once she tries something, her friends all want to try it too.

Xia Ye began to regret why he had suddenly wanted to operate an excavator; he had set a bad example for everyone.

Of course, due to their physical structure, Xiao Ke and Xiao Miao can't operate them, and can only watch Xiao Yuan and Xiao Huan operate them with envy.

Perhaps because playing games stimulates potential, Madoka, without the ability to control her legs, immediately activated her superpowers and drove very smoothly.

Natsuno shook his head and sighed, "It's only when eating and playing that Madoka can immediately think of using superpowers as an auxiliary means. When fighting, all she knows is to swing her arms. I don't know who she learned that from."

Just as Cynthia's Lucario ran out to try out the excavator, Natsuno received another call, this time from Yellow.

Xia Ye was surprised. After answering the call, he heard Xiao Huang's voice trembling with tears.

"Natsuno-nii, Akane is frozen! It's not just ordinary freezing; even my Evergreen Power has no effect."

"We suspect it might be the energy of authority, come and take a look!"

Chapter 500 Return to Kanto, Crimson Upheaval

The freezing of authority energy? Could it be ice? That doesn't make sense.

Xia Ye's mind raced: "Xiao Huang, don't worry, I'll go take a look right now."

At this moment, Zhu Lan had already taken out her phone to make arrangements, while Xiao Ya clapped her hands to call back Xiao Cai and the other friends who were still playing around.

Natsuno hung up the call, and Takeran did the same: "The plane has been arranged, is it in Kanto?"

"Or I can just take you there with Shark, it'll be faster."

Natsuno shook his head: "You are the Sinnoh champion, Sinnoh affairs should be your priority. You left Sinnoh for a few months before, and many people have been criticizing you online."

"I have a relatively good understanding of the situation regarding the power of authority. I'm just going to take a look, and I estimate I'll be back in a few days."

Zhu Lan looked somewhat reluctant, but she also knew that what Xia Ye said was right.

She could only look at him with pitiful eyes and say, "Fine, at least let me take you to the airport."

After saying that, Zhu Lan climbed onto Shark's back and reached out her hand to Xia Ye.

Natsuno naturally wouldn't refuse, and all his companions went back into the ball and lay down.

Xiaoya had no intention of being a third wheel, so she summoned her symbolic bird and followed.

On Shark's back, Natsuno and Takeran performed another verbal ritual before arriving at their destination.

The blonde beauty carefully straightened Natsuno's collar, then suddenly looked at Xiaoya to the side.

"By the way, Xiaoya is fine. Let Xiaoya come with you. Anyway, she's just bothering me or staying at home here, so it's perfect."

Xiao Ya, who was suddenly brought up for no reason, had a black line appear on her forehead: "Xiao Zhulan, is it really okay for me to say this? So you dislike me that much? I'm going to cry."

Unfortunately, Zhu Lan's acting was so bad that she wasn't buying it at all. The blonde beauty leaned close to her ear and said coquettishly, "If you don't want to go, that's fine. Ono has already boarded the plane."

Xiaoya's heart was racing. She didn't understand what Zhulan meant, but when she turned her head, she saw Xiaye tiptoeing onto the plane.

Seeing Xiaoya looking over, Xia Ye quickened his pace: "I can go by myself, no need to trouble you, Miss. Bye-bye!"

As it turns out, when facing Xia Ye, the 100-pound Xiao Ya suddenly becomes 101 pounds rebellious, glaring at Xia Ye and quickly chasing after him.

"Who do you think you are? I'm going with you anyway, and you'll have to serve me food, drink, and entertainment every day!"

Natsuno was terrified and ran while shouting, "Close the cabin door! Take off! Quickly!"

Unfortunately, this was Zhu Lan's private plane, and Xia Ye said it wouldn't count for the time being, but in the end, Xiao Ya chased after her and got on the plane.

Xiao Ya, who was a head shorter than him, walked up to him and exuded an aura that made Xia Ye feel a little flustered.

The next second, Xiaoya reached into his arms and started touching him, which terrified Xia Ye: "What are you doing! I'm calling the police!"

A second later, Xiaoya took Xiaoyuan's deluxe ball out of Xiaye's pocket and walked away arrogantly.

"Xiaoyuan is being temporarily requisitioned. Enough with the nonsense!"

Xiaoya then went to the other seat and put Xiaoyuan out, using her as a giant pillow.

The team played the ball again. The plane was very spacious, and everyone could lie down or sit.

Natsuno then took out three Feathers of Authority from his pocket and tried to summon his superpowers again.

After leaving Hoenn, Natsuno would take out a feather and call out to her every day, but each time it was like throwing a stone into the sea, with no response.

After several fruitless attempts, Natsuno touched the little blue thing on his shoulder again: "Lord Order, do you have any news about these three?"

"Or you could tell us where our territory is. I want to know where these three went. They could be of help in a critical moment."

Little Blue shook her head: 'The location I knew before I fell asleep is no longer there; it's probably moved. Rayquaza probably only knows it now.'

Natsuno was shocked: "No, they can run away from their territory? Are they that powerful? No wonder humans rarely see the legendary creatures."

"Old Lie is still conducting purges in space, why don't you guys go up and help him?"

Little Blue rolled over, looking at the drifting clouds outside the window: 'No life on this planet can survive outside of the atmosphere, except for the Polygons.'

'The Sky Sit is an exception; it's essentially the airflow itself, so there's no feeling of suffocation, something none of us can do.'

"And what about that 'cosmic virus' you just mentioned? How did you know about it? You're on Earth, how could you know about things in space? I don't know anything about it."

Noticing that Xiao Lan had turned to look at him, Xia Ye felt a little flustered, and then a quick-thinking idea popped into his head.

Natsuno didn't dare to speak directly, so she chose to express her thoughts through her cute little voice.

"It was a revelation from the Great One. Without you noticing, this name suddenly appeared in my mind, along with corresponding images."

One lie leads to more lies to cover it up, a sentiment Natsuno deeply understood at that moment.

Of course, he overlooked one problem: Cattleya's superpowers were stronger than his, and she could hear his telepathic communication.

Xiao Ya, who was comfortably resting with Xiao Yuan in her arms, suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing: "You? The Great Venerable's revelation?"

"Natsuno, when did you start learning all this mystical stuff? Are you going to become a monk at a temple?"

Although Natsuno knew that Cattleya would definitely sabotage him, he was still a little embarrassed.

"While you're asleep, don't worry about it. You definitely wouldn't understand such high-level stuff."

"After all, your brain capacity is not enough. You often fail even when you try to execute a combo in a game. Playing a matching game is more suitable for you."

The two immediately started bickering, and this interruption made Xiao Lan forget what the question she had just asked was.

Of course, it's also possible that Xiao Lan really believed what Xia Ye just said, and in any case, she didn't ask any further questions, so Xia Ye felt relieved.

Sinnoh is not far from Kanto; geographically, it's practically a neighboring region, though it's not connected to Kanto by land, separated by a vast ocean.

Soon, the plane landed at the Kanto Alliance headquarters, where they were met by Qinglu. The group quickly headed to a secret sanatorium.

Ooki and Kojima were both there. Natsuno greeted them briefly and then looked at the key spot.

Lying unconscious on the hospital bed was Crimson, not frozen into a large block of ice; in fact, there were no signs of freezing on the outside.

Natsuno stepped forward, only to find that he began to feel a chill emanating from Akane as he got closer.

At this moment, Xiao Huang's eyes were red as she showed Xia Ye a medical report from senior medical staff, including Dr. Oki's analysis.

"Although the body's mechanisms are still functioning normally, the rate of various life activities has been greatly slowed down. There is no response to external stimuli, similar to a vegetative state."

"Based on various factors, is it suspected that the soul was frozen?"

Chapter 501 Stone Tablet & Authority

Natsuno looked surprised, and after reading the report, he looked back at the sleeping Crimson.

The concept of a soul is too common in the Pokémon world; it's not a rare thing. Ghost Pokémon are everywhere.

There are also claims about the spirit world, and that the Night Demon is a messenger of the spirit world. The key is that there are a very few lucky eyewitnesses, which makes it hard for people not to believe.

At this moment, Qinglu recounted what had happened: "This morning I received a message from Chihong saying that he was coming to wish Grandpa a Happy New Year, so I waited at home."

"I didn't see him for a long time, and I couldn't get through to him by phone for a long time, so I thought I'd go look for him."
