Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

The little guy looked guilty and apologized to Xiaoya again: 'I'm sorry, human, I didn't mean it, please forgive me...'

Xia Ye was surprised that although Xiao Ya looked thin, she was surprisingly strong when she hugged him, and it was not easy to push her away without some effort.

But now the two are on the symbolic bird's back. It's spacious, but not spacious enough to fight. If they move another twenty centimeters outward after standing side by side, they'll be suspended in mid-air.

If he exerted too much force, he might accidentally knock the other person down, which would be bad. Natsuno originally wanted to reach out and exert force, but stopped when he thought of this.

As if possessed, he slowly lowered his raised hand and gently patted Xiaoya's back again to comfort her, his superpower of comforting her activated as well.

With a two-pronged approach, Xiaoya, who was trembling a little, gradually calmed down.

Natsuno felt very strange at this moment: being hugged by the unexpected girl, Takeran, and having to comfort her, he had a strange and indescribable feeling.

Xiaoya, who was nestled in her arms, was also feeling excited. She wasn't surprised that she would subconsciously hug Xia Ye for a sense of security.

She just greedily wanted to breathe in Natsuno's scent a little longer, silently telling herself: 'That bastard Natsuno is already Xiaozhulan's boyfriend, Cattleya, you can't keep doing this!'

But another voice rose in her heart: 'Let me feel his warm embrace a little longer, just like when we were little, when he would comfort Xiaoya no matter how scary the story was.'

In short, two voices were fighting inside her, and while they were fighting, the superpowered young lady... just fell asleep.

Xia Ye was somewhat surprised by the state of the person in his arms, and gently patted her back, calling out, "Xiao Ya? Xiao Ya?"

This time, however, he was truly asleep, not pretending. His breathing was even, and a serene smile graced his lips.

Xia Ye scratched his head, but didn't push Xiao Ya away. There was only so much space on the symbol bird's back, and now that this guy was asleep, it was even more dangerous.

For safety reasons, Xia Ye could only let her continue to sleep in his arms, holding her with one hand to prevent her from slipping away, and struggling to put away his phone with the other.

He used his telepathic abilities again to communicate with Marshadow: 'You should believe me now, right? Let's take us back now; the sooner we get there, the faster Ho-Oh will be healed.'

Marcia nodded her little head slightly, then completely merged into Xia Ye's shadow and began to point the way again.

Fuji, who was not far away, was a little surprised as to why he had suddenly changed direction. Natsuno didn't explain much, but simply told the other party to be quiet and let the matter be clear.

As night fell, the group returned to the sea area near Hinoki Town. Fuji looked confused, and Natsuno shrugged and explained.

"Well, actually, after searching, we confirmed that Ho-Oh was indeed there yesterday. Let's rest for the night and prepare to go tomorrow."

"I'm sorry for taking such a long detour again, Doctor. Are you not in a hurry?"

Fuji didn't object to this: "When we were searching inland before, we went back and forth to the same place five times in a row. It's nothing."

"It's not that I'm anxious, but there's no use being anxious if the information is wrong."

The group landed on the rooftop of the hotel where they had stayed the day before. Xiaoya, who was in their arms, had changed her breathing rhythm earlier, and was obviously pretending to be asleep.

Xia Ye didn't expose her, and gently patted her: "Xiao Ya, we're here, get up."

The latter, with slightly clumsy acting skills, pretended that he was woken up by Xia Ye, stretched out a big yawn, rolled onto his feet, and led the way into the store.

He didn't let Natsuno see the expression on his face at all, demonstrating top-notch defensive skills.

Upon returning to the Champion Suite, Xiaoya fled straight to her room, and Xia Ye brought her meals by knocking on her door.

This time, she even forgot to ask Natsuno to take Aya and the others inside to keep her company that night. Natsuno didn't mind, and after discussing it with Fuji, she returned to her room.

The roommates were feeding Marcia energy cubes, and Little K reluctantly pushed his treasured fighting cubes toward the table.

She didn't forget to have Xiao Cai, with her nimble fingers, open the package first before letting the other person eat it.

Natsuno watched as Masato, surrounded and fed by his companions, ate until his mouth and belly were bulging, looking incredibly cute.

I didn't dwell on how quickly Marcia, who is socially awkward, adapted to Natsuno's enthusiastic friends.

After taking a shower, Natsuno sat on the sofa and gently waved to Marcia, who was watching TV in the shadows.

"Marshad, can you tell me now how Ho-Oh is?"

"I know quite a few humans who are very skilled at treating Pokémon, so knowing the specifics can help me prepare in advance."

Marshall turned away from the news program, stammering, "Um... I don't know how to describe it right now... Perhaps only seeing it with my own eyes can confirm it."

Natsuno was even more confused: "Not an injury? Could it be something more serious?"

Marshado shook his head: 'That's not true. I didn't lie to you. I don't know the situation. You'll know when you get there.'

Natsuno remained silent, pondering the matter before falling into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, the door lock suddenly made a sound.

Chapter 522 Hair Pressing

A thin flow of energy caused the door lock to open instantly, and the next second, a figure covered by a thin blanket rushed in.

Its speed is so fast that it's like a blur; if you don't look closely, you might even think it floated in—definitely a Ghost-type.

The figure immediately pounced on the bed, squeezing between Xiao Cai and Xia Ye, wrapping herself tightly in her blanket, and shivering beside Xia Ye.

The beds in the Champion Suite are also specially made and very spacious. Natsuno sleeps with his friends, all of them, big and small.

Natsuno slept in the middle, and the positions to his left and right were arranged by his companions to be fair, but the positions always changed the next day, and no one could explain it.

Awakened by a series of noises around him, Natsuno looked at the dark room and, half-asleep, felt a trembling body beside him. He instinctively reached out to comfort her.

Based on the feel, he thought it was Xiaoyuan, but Xiaoyuan wasn't this slender.

Judging from the height of the person in contact, I thought it was Xiaomeng, but Xiaomeng doesn't seem to have this kind of fragrance.

"Hmm, were you having a nightmare? I'm here, don't be afraid..."

Exhausted, Natsuno was startled by the faint light that inexplicably shone through the crack in the open door, and he closed his eyes tightly.

There was a small, fluffy thing on the right. Natsuno gently touched it and said, "Go and close the door, okay, Xiaomiao?"

Then he turned back to comfort the trembling guy on his left, and drifted off to sleep again.

The person on the left, whose back he was patting, felt the familiar touch and warmth, and quickly calmed down and fell asleep as well.

However, apart from Natsuno, all the other companions were sleeping soundly, even Xiaocai, who had been pushed out of the room, didn't wake up. She scratched her butt and continued sleeping.

Xiao Miao, who was gently pushed by Xia Ye, didn't even notice. The door was open, and the cold midnight wind blew in all at once.

Almost all of the companions had fur, and those without fur weren't afraid of the cold. Only Natsuno from the hairless, upright group was startled by the wind.

In my sleep, I subconsciously reached out and grabbed the blanket covering my left "partner," intending to cover myself with it.

The person on the left was deep in a dream. Disturbed by the noise, she rolled over and successfully found the blanket to cover herself.

Suddenly, a body appeared on his left, half-lying on top of him. In his drowsy state, Xia Ye instinctively pulled the warm body into his arms and drifted back to sleep.

A cold wind blew, and Natsuno of the hairless upright group hugged the body on her left again. Similarly, the other person also tried to move closer to Natsuno.

In a daze, Natsuno dreamed again, having a wedding in the Temple of Beginning, witnessed by many legends and mythical Pokémon.

The officiant was Alpaca Dazun, and the bride was standing in front of him with her back to Natsuno, waiting.

The bride's back looked very familiar. Amidst the congratulations of relatives and friends, Xia Ye stepped forward, turned his head, and exclaimed, "Holy crap! It's Cattleya?!"

Xia Ye's eyes snapped open. Looking at the decorations on the ceiling of the Champion Suite, he breathed a sigh of relief, his breathing becoming heavier.

Then he smelled a faint fragrance, a familiar scent that made Xia Ye's mind begin to clear.

'I slept with my friends last night, right? Xiao Cai and the others all smell like kittens and puppies, not like this floral scent, right?'

Natsuno was confused when he suddenly felt a strong pressure on his left arm. He realized that he seemed to be holding a "partner".

However, judging from the feel, it is neither Xiao Cai nor Xiao Yuan, nor Xiao Huan, Xiao Miao, Xiao Meng, or Xiao Ke, and even Da Meng is not this tall or this big.

Combined with the scent he smelled, Natsuno's pupils dilated, his body stiffened, his heart pounded like a drum, and he slowly turned his head to the left.

The sight of blonde hair made his heart skip a beat; he thought it was Zhu Lan, and a huge wave of joy instantly washed over him.

However, the next second Natsuno realized something was wrong: the body shape seemed different, and the hair was not the smooth style like that of Yukari, but rather a bit more fluffy!

More like...Cadelia!

Xia Ye jolted awake instantly, waking the person in his arms with a slightly coquettish voice.

However, she did not open her eyes, but simply adjusted her posture slightly, hugging the large "pillow" next to her even tighter.

"Hmm... Is it dawn already? What a pity about that wonderful dream I just had... How wonderful it would be if my dream came true, Natsuno, hee hee!"

As soon as the other person spoke, Natsuno confirmed it again, his pupils dilating in shock: It really is Xiaoya? WTF?

The evil researcher squeezed his eyes shut, desperately hoping he was dreaming.

The next second he opened his eyes, nothing had changed, and his heart raced again. Natsuno was now in a complete panic.

He didn't even have time to find out what kind of dream Xiaoya had; all he wanted to do was get away from this trouble as soon as possible.

However, at this moment, Xiaoya was resting her head on his left arm, with most of her body lying on him, and even her calves were in contact with his engorged areas.

The evil researcher's mind went blank at this moment, and he didn't know if it was because the blood supply to his brain had decreased.

Xiaoya, who was still reminiscing about her sweet dream from last night, finally sensed something was wrong. At that moment, Xia Ye's breathing became heavier, and his hot breath hit her face.

The warmth emanating from her skin, the familiar and comforting scent emanating from Natsuno—all these unusual sensations made her open her eyes instantly.

The next second, their eyes met, their pupils dilated, and their mouths gaped open.

Sensing the danger, Xia Ye quickly reached out and covered Xiao Ya's mouth with his right hand, his expression even more panicked. He activated his telepathic communication: "Don't scream! What if you wake everyone up?"

Xiaoya's mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts. She raised her hand and slapped Xia Ye's hand a few times, glaring at him angrily.

Xia Ye frowned, his eyes flashing frantically, his inner voice growing more anxious: 'Stop yelling, calm down!'

Then she slowly let go. Xiaoya didn't choose to shout loudly, but quickly pulled back the blanket to check her and Xia Ye's clothes.

Although it was a bit messy, it was still a normal situation, and she felt no discomfort. She breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, a sense of regret welled up in her heart.

'What a pity, if only it were really like in my dream.'

This absurd thought startled Xiaoya: "Gardelia, what are you thinking! How could you become like this!"

Xia Ye tried to calm himself, ignoring the sensation on Xiao Ya's leg: 'Calm down, you should run away first!'

He quickly looked around to make sure he was in his room: 'This is my room. How you ended up here can wait, okay?'

Xiaoya nodded hurriedly, trying to lift her head, but the next second it fell onto Xia Ye's arm, which was now somewhat numb.

You stepped on my hair!

Xiaoya subconsciously raised her voice a little, and noises immediately came from the surroundings.
