Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

Natsuno nodded, took a few deep breaths to calm his heartbeat, and his superpowers spread rapidly, leading him to a training ground where he saw his friends training hard.

Xia Ye composed himself and focused his attention back on the present: "Just turn on the device and try it! There's no need for Xiao Meng to come over."

After saying that, he started the instrument in his hand. In just one second, the machine beeped and a radar image appeared on the electronic screen, with two dots of different colors clearly visible.

An arrow also appeared pointing directly to Xiaomeng's location.

Xia Ye knew without even looking that the instrument was indeed a success, and gave a thumbs-up to the eagerly awaiting engineers: "Congratulations, you've succeeded!"

These engineers were carefully selected by Daigo, with all aspects, including their interests and the well-being of their families, taken into consideration to minimize the risk of leaks.

Amid cheers, the arrow suddenly changed angle rapidly, and the two points on the radar map were shifting positions at breakneck speed, refreshing at lightning speed.

Natsuno's eyes widened, thinking the machine was broken, and he scratched his head.

The next second, a loud whooshing sound rang out, and Xiaomeng appeared beside Xia Ye, with the arrow on the screen pointing straight at her.

The other companions also rushed over, staring at the instrument in Natsuno's hand with curious expressions.

At the same time, Natsuno noticed a green jelly falling to the ground on his shoulder, and his position on the radar map also coincided with a point of light.

Xia Ye looked at the equipment in his hand and nodded vigorously: "So far, it seems to have a zero failure rate! The authority energy has nowhere to hide, that's great!"

Daigo, who had run back, felt completely relaxed after Natsuno confirmed his return and let out a long sigh of relief.

Xia Ye went up and patted him on the shoulder: "Currently, the applicable distance is about 30 meters. It cannot be detected beyond that range."

At this moment, Xiaomeng disappeared from the room again. The radar chart showed that Xiaomeng's light spot reappeared at a maximum distance of 30 meters, and then disappeared the next second.

Using their superpowers to call Xiaomeng back, Daigo and Daiki were already notifying others, including Lance and other top leaders of the regional leagues, as well as members of the academic committee.

Natsuno couldn't wait to video call Takeran: "Takeran-chan, although we just finished talking this morning, I miss you again, so I'm calling you to ease my longing."

The blonde beauty was sitting in the office, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, her eyes crinkling into crescents.

"I see your engineers cheering. Does that mean the Authority Energy Device has been successfully completed?"

Natsuno's lips instantly fell: "Takeran-chan, you've changed. You don't even say you miss me anymore. Sigh."

The next second it recovered: "That's right, ta-da! This is the Authority Energy Analyzer, which can accurately capture authority energy within 30 meters. It's an essential item for home, travel, adventure, and camping!"

Natsuno proudly showed the instrument in his hand to the camera, his expression exaggerated.

Xiao Ya, who arrived late after receiving the news, couldn't help but scoff: "Tch, what are you showing off for? It wasn't you who did it, are you trying to steal the credit?"

Xia Ye turned around and gave her a look as if she were an idiot: "Hey, I also put in a lot of effort, okay? There's no need to steal credit."

"With this, finding the territory of the Three Sacred Birds, the ruins of the legend of authority, and so on can be much more efficient."

"Daigo, according to the original plan, produce in small batches, add positioning programs and hardware, and the alliance will only supply the highest level. It can only be used with at least one Elite Four member present to supervise."

"The power and energy involved are of great importance. Although I have said this many times, I still want to emphasize it so that everyone will take it seriously."

Natsuno, who personally oversaw the birth of Mewtwo, was very wary of this. The creation of Mewtwo was not unreplicable, and the Authority Energy, as a key core element, absolutely could not be lost.

He didn't want Giovanni to suddenly lead a team of Mewtwos into battle after a while, even if the new ones didn't have authority, they would still be hard to handle!

Daigo shrugged: "It's better to leave the production to the League. We won't feel comfortable leaving it to Devon."

At this moment, Xiaoya suddenly showed her phone to Xia Ye, which displayed a news article.

The evolution boost effect on Dead Leaf Beach is gone!

Chapter 510 Fuji's Call, Ho-Oh's Whereabouts

Xia Ye was somewhat surprised and clicked on the news to see the details.

Daiki and Daigo had already gone to the other side to arrange the follow-up matters of the Power Instrument, while Natsuno sat down on the sofa.

Despite Natsuno and Devon's previous collaboration to create various alternatives to evolution stones, the effect of Vermilion Beach as a substitute for Water, Fire, and Grass-type evolution stones still attracted many people.

However, in the past two months, fewer and fewer Pokémon have been evolving at the Vermilion Beach every day. Until the morning before yesterday, no Pokémon were seen evolving at the beach anymore.

We still don't have a clear understanding of the specific mechanisms, and we've run out of ideas to study further. Will this affect visitor traffic in Kurenai City?

After quickly reading the contents, Natsuno raised an eyebrow: "The magical effect of the Dead Leaf Beach has really disappeared completely. I was thinking of studying the specific mechanism before."

"I was also thinking of getting my pilot's license, but I didn't expect that after finishing my business here, the Dead Leaf Beach would also be closed down for me. It's amazing."

Xiaoya, holding Xiaoyuan and stroking her all over, said with a blissful expression, "No way, you're a distinguished researcher like Natsuno, how can you go out without a pilot? I'm perfect for that."

"Just keep lending me Xiaoyuan. If you find it troublesome to borrow her every few days, you can borrow her for a longer period of time."

Xia Ye was speechless. He went up and shoved Xiao Ya aside, freeing Xiao Yuan from the clutches of evil.

"Why are you always thinking about my Xiaoyuan? There are cells and eggs everywhere in Hezhong, why don't you just go and get one yourself?"

"That's different. No ordinary cell egg can compare to the small round one. Even if they are both heterochromatic cells, they are still inferior to the small round one."

Xia Ye didn't argue with Xiao Ya. He handed the power device, which still hadn't been covered with a casing, back to the engineer and turned to leave the R&D workshop.

"Now that we've got everything sorted out, we don't need to stay cooped up here anymore. Let's go for a stroll on the sea. It's ridiculous that Green and Yellow have been searching for months and still haven't found the territory of the Three Holy Birds."

...

"The absurd thing just happened. Just when the three of us were about to get the three stone tablets, a strong ocean current swept away our diving equipment."

"We don't know how many days we were unconscious, but we woke up near the Capital Waterfall and immediately reported to the organization."

In a forest somewhere, the Team Rocket trio stood at attention and saluted, respectfully reporting to Giovanni on the other end of the communication screen.

In the dim light, Sakaki's expression was obscured, and the atmosphere grew heavy.

The Rocket trio said somewhat nervously, "Boss, we'll return to the Leaf Sea right now and bring back those three stone tablets for you!"

"Yes, yes!" "That's right, meow!"

On the other end of the communication, Sakaki observed the trio's respectful demeanor, his voice neither pleased nor angry.

"I see. You are all outstanding talents in the organization. I believe in you. Go ahead, and I look forward to hearing good news from you."

After hanging up the call, the trio breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the ground in a Y-shape.

"That's what they say, but we've already spent all the money last time. How are we going to get back now?"

"It's all your fault. Why did you use the funds to buy parts without everyone's consent? We had to build so many submersibles before we could complete the underwater exploration."

"Stop arguing, meow, I'm so hungry, I miss the delicious ramen at the training base so much."

Kojiro clenched his fist tightly: "It's okay. When I was homeless, I earned money by doing odd jobs. Why don't we do odd jobs too?"

"Work while raising money for the journey back to Kanto, then use the money you earn to buy parts to build a submersible, get the stone tablet, and get a promotion and a raise!"

Faced with Kojiro's constructive advice, Musashi and Meowth perked up, and the trio headed toward the nearest populated area.

Meanwhile, Natsuno, who was packing his things, suddenly received another call from an unknown number, again from the Johto region.

Xia Ye frowned and answered the call: "Hello, this is Xia Ye, who is this?"

The other person's voice carried a hint of excitement: "It's me, Fuji. Natsuno, I think I've found Ho-Oh's trail!"

Eh?

Natsuno was surprised to learn it was Dr. Fuji, and then stunned by the news from Fuji: "Photography, no, Ho-Oh? Dr., where are you now?"

Last time, Natsuno learned from Kin that Fuji had left the Johto Alliance without saying goodbye, and Natsuno didn't ask him about it.

Natsuno finds it hard to comment on the idea of ​​creating a body through genetic engineering and then adding memories in the Pokémon world.

Now that he's heard news from Fuji, Natsuno really wants to ask if they succeeded.

But then he noticed that Fuji said he had found traces of Ho-Oh, and he seemed to understand.

Perhaps they are dissatisfied with the genetic methods and still hope that a being like Ho-Oh can truly resurrect their daughter?

"I'm in a remote mountain forest near Johto. I didn't expect there to be a signal on the mountaintop. Since you've encountered quite a few legendary Pokémon, I decided to contact you."

"I'll send you my location later. I'll be waiting for you on this mountaintop. I'm begging you for help this time."

"I feel like I have no chance of fulfilling my wish, but with hope right in front of me, I'm not willing to give up without doing something."

Natsuno nodded. He really wanted to meet Ho-Oh, not for any other reason than to get a feather to help Professor Oak complete his Pokédex.

"No problem, Doctor. I also want to see Ho-Oh with my own eyes. I'll get there as soon as possible."

After hanging up the call, he saw that Professor Oak had already walked up to him and was rubbing his hands together. He had heard what had just happened.

"Xia Ye, Feather!"

Natsuno gave an OK sign: "Don't worry, Doctor. Actually, I just wanted to get a feather. I hope I can really find one."

Oki nodded in satisfaction, his tone tinged with regret: "Unfortunately, I haven't finished compiling my World Encyclopedia yet; I have other things to do."

"The Indigo League is coming up soon, and the number of new trainers applying for starter Pokémon is more than ten times that of last year. I need to be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Natsuno immediately took notice: "By the way, Professor, is Ash about to start his journey this time?"

Oak nodded, somewhat surprised that Natsuno was also so concerned about Ash's trip: "Yeah, what's up?"

Xia Ye looked thoughtful: "It's alright. Our university textbooks have just been compiled. I'll come back to help you after I finish reading Ho-Oh."

I felt a surge of excitement: I was there when I was in Red Riding Hood's starter Pokémon, how could I miss out on Pikachu in Ash's starter Pokémon?

Oki nodded and left. Natsuno looked at Aya in the living room: "Aya, I'm going to Johto. What about you? Are you going back to Sinnoh?"

Xiaoya didn't even look up, but her eyes darted around quickly: "Xiaozhulan told me to keep a close eye on you. Wherever you go, I'll go. Don't even think about doing anything bad behind Xiaozhulan's back!"

Natsuno shrugged: "Then what are you standing there for? Go pack your things."

Chapter 511 Marshall, is it really you?

After everything was tidied up, Xia Ye thought for a moment and went back to the R&D workshop to ask for a power device.

Daigo was puzzled, so Natsuno told him that he was going to Johto to find Ho-Oh.

"The Ho-Oh Guard has derived authority, so how could Ho-Oh not have it? Bringing an authority device will make it easier to find."

"By the way, let's prioritize the Kanto Alliance. Crimson is still waiting for Blue and Yellow to find Ice to see if they can save them."

Daigo nodded to indicate that he understood, and then led Natsuno and the other away from the secret research and development base.

For speed reasons, Natsuno Communications' Wataru asked him to send over two Dragonite Dragons.

Because Natsuno allowed Groudon to relinquish its control over all late-blooming Pokémon, the breeding speed of late-blooming Pokémon is now the same as that of ordinary Pokémon species.
