Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off

Chapter 121 I'm an expert at keeping secrets

Fuji heard Natsuno's words but didn't even look up: "Upgrade Ai's code to improve efficiency."

"You want to learn programming? That's fine, but can you tell me why you suddenly want to learn it?"

Xia Ye remained silent, made up a reason, and pointed to the central control computer screen.

"I want to create something similar to Xiao Ai, but without having to upload memories—an intelligent assistance program."

Fuji finished the last code instruction, turned around, and said, "I have an idea."

"However, this is the culmination of more than ten years of hard work, and I guess it won't be easy to learn in a short time."

"If you really need it, I'll rewrite it for you; it'll be faster than you learning it yourself."

Xia Ye shook his head; this was far from what he had imagined.

Then he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Natsuno looked around but found no place where he could help, and then left the research lab.

They went into the room next door to check on the Eevee.

His body was covered in tubes, and his face, though asleep, still showed signs of pain.

Xia Ye slapped his forehead: Oh right, even though the gene inhibitors have cured me, I forgot to bring back a few!

Now that we have the potion, it's time to start planning Ibu's escape.

Thinking this, Natsuno turned and went out, trying to find Xiao Huang's whereabouts.

After some questioning, it was learned that it was in the treatment room.

Natsuno set off and saw a large group of henchmen queuing up in the treatment room.

Under his sharp gaze, Natsuno noticed that the joints of the henchmen were more or less stiff.

Whether it's on their arms or knees, the way the henchmen walk looks very strange.

The Pokémon they pulled out were all frozen solid.

Xiao Huang had become the de facto head of the treatment room, directing her henchmen everywhere.

After thawing and treating the Pokémon with the equipment, they were treated one last time using the power of evergreen.

Only after ensuring that all potential threats have been completely eliminated are the minions allowed to leave with their healed Pokémon, filled with gratitude.

Natsuno saw a henchman walking out with his head down and was about to make way when he was bumped into.

With a sudden thought, Xia Ye pulled the other person back and smiled.

The other person was initially a little impatient, but when they saw it was Natsuno, their expression turned to surprise and delight.

"Hey bro, where are you guys on your mission?"

"Oh, it's Mr. Natsuno. I didn't go anywhere. I'm very familiar with the organization's confidentiality regulations."

Natsuno looked up, confirmed that there were no surveillance cameras in the treatment room, and pulled the henchmen to a corner.

Without making a sound, he slipped a few energy cubes into the henchman's hand, and the henchman suddenly beamed with joy.

She leaned close to Natsuno's ear and whispered, "Twin Islands are the area outside of Crimson Lotus Island."

"My goodness, it's so cold there. No matter how thick your clothes are, it's not enough to boost your immunity. The cold wind seeps into your bones."

Twin Islands? Upon hearing the somewhat familiar name, Natsuno seemed to be deep in thought.

"Is your mission to capture Pokémon?"

The henchman then put on a serious face again, resuming his solemn expression: "This really can't be said, it's a confidentiality agreement."

But Natsuno noticed that the other person was making a rubbing motion with their fingers placed below.

Natsuno understood and simply stuffed the rest of the box into the other person's hand.

The henchman looked up, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he whispered again.

"None of us have ever seen that bird Pokémon before. It exudes a chilling aura, and can freeze a person into an ice sculpture with just one beak."

"We were sent to scout ahead; the more information we find about that Pokémon, the bigger the reward."

"Even though we were both frozen solid, the rewards were pretty good, so it was definitely worth it!"

After confirming that he had explained everything clearly, the other party shook his head and pretended to be serious.

"Oh dear, I've been talking to myself for so long, I hope no one else heard me!"

Xia Ye watched the other person leave without paying any attention, and found a chair in the corner to sit down.

I started to think based on the information given by the henchmen and my own memory.

The location is Twin Islands, where no one has ever seen a bird-like Pokémon before, whose beak can freeze you solid with a single breath.

Articuno, isn't that you?

Outside the treatment room, the henchman who had just been talking to Natsuno was now walking straight toward Sakaki's office.

After knocking and receiving permission, he went inside, and the henchman ran his hand across his face.

The previously unremarkable face revealed its true nature: a gloomy man with purple hair.

The purple-haired man said respectfully, "Boss, we've already leaked the crucial information to Xia Ye."

Sakaki nodded: "Lambda, well done. Go down now and continue gathering information on the important targets."

Lambda straightened his expression, saluted, and left the room.

In the dim light, Sakaki's face was indistinct.

"Natsuno, what will you do? I'm looking forward to it."

In the treatment room, Natsuno looked at the long queue and decided to leave first.

Back in the lab, Natsuno began checking the gene database.

After these days of hard work, we have collected nearly 10 pieces of material.

Dr. Fuji also told Natsuno that there were still a lot of samples in the freezer that hadn't been tested, and the equipment was practically running non-stop.

Xia Ye carefully examined the data, labeling each one with its corresponding characteristics.

For example, gender, characteristics, type, inherited moves, etc.

Xia Ye looked at the Dream Gene in the incubation chamber and shook his head helplessly, realizing that it would take more than ten hours to develop.

Turning around, Natsuno saw Fuji fiddling with something and went over to take a look.

After watching for a few minutes, Natsuno, still confused, asked directly, "Dr. Fuji, what are you doing?"

Fuji's gaze was unwavering: "Sakaki wants a device that can track Mew, and it must only react to Mew."

Natsuno was startled, but didn't show it on his face: "Will it work?"

Fuji shook his head: "Even with the dreamlike eyelashes from fossils, it's unlikely to work."

Natsuno was relieved. Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to help Fuji out.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was evening.

Natsuno stretched and got up, intending to head to the treatment room, but quickly rejected the idea.

Back in his room, Xia Ye took out his phone and typed to Xiao Huang.

Considering the possibility of surveillance and eavesdropping, Xia Ye persisted in typing and came up with a plan with Xiao Huang.

Everything was ready except for the medicine. With the plan confirmed to be largely feasible, Natsuno felt a little relieved.

Around nine o'clock in the evening, Natsuno, who was playing a game with Aya, suddenly received a call from Professor Oak.

Xiao Cai watched helplessly as the large wolfhound, which was supposed to be controlled by Xia Ye, charged straight into the enemy's group and delivered its head as a sacrifice.

A huge red "Failure" appeared in the center of the screen. Xiao Cai put down her tablet, looking somewhat dejected.

Natsuno answered the phone on one end and used one hand to gently soothe the colorful puppy on the other.

There was some noise on the other end of the phone, and Natsuno noticed many familiar voices.

"Natsuno, have you seen the official announcements? They're on Pokémon audio and video, and on TV."

"Ah, I didn't have time to see. What happened, Doctor?"

"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that all those people from the unscrupulous breeding farm have been caught, which is great news."

"That's great! I don't have to go out in fear anymore, and I can focus on my research."

At that moment, the voice on the other end of the phone changed to Grandma Jiezilan.

"Little Natsuno, when Little Bamboo Orchid heard that you were almost kidnapped, she immediately led a team to participate in the operation."

"She wouldn't let me tell you, but I can tell from Grandma that she cares about you a lot."

"I want to run straight to Kanto every now and then to protect you and vigorously promote the development of the genetic field in Sinnoh."

"Alright, that's enough of that. That's all for now."
