Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off

Author: Meteor Flying

Summary:

[Just got back from the Pokémon world, so I didn't write anything random.]

Natsuno suspected that he had been set up.

Become a trainer? There were unknown issues with the starter Pokémon, so I decided to become a researcher to figure them out. But I still couldn't find the problem and lost my research direction.

The academic community has already published information on everything from mega to titanium crystallization.

At a critical moment, memory awakens and the system binds: Chu Bao has a genetic defect, go and study the genes!

After two years of painstakingly cultivating peas and publishing his theory, Sakaki came knocking on his door.

...

Oak: Dr. Natsuno, pioneering the field of genetics, has achieved a new breakthrough: genetic supplementation allows Garchomp to learn Dragon Dance!

Giovanni: I really regret letting you lead Project Mewtwo. Now even Team Ultimate Rocket has been destroyed because of you. My ideals...

Xia Ye: Boss, when you invited me, you wouldn't let me refuse. I didn't want to either.

Mewtwo: Create my body, guide my soul. I will help Natsuno!

League: Using telepathy to interfere with opposing trainers through singing, chanting, or other means is strictly prohibited in official battles! This is an extremely shameful tactic!

Natsuno: Why can't I use the techniques I learned through my own skill?! Protest!

Also, I'm just a little stronger, have a higher level of research, and know a lot more legendary and mythical Pokémon, so please don't call me a Pokémon Master!

Ash: Natsuno-san? I want to be like him, invincible in battles and research, and become a Pokémon Master!

Chapter 1 This paper does not require any references.

Kanto, Yuhong University, Academic Auditorium.

Today's encouraging message is: "The mandibleed ant ate sand for ten years unnoticed, but one day it evolved into an earthworm and became known to the world."

Standing on the podium, Xia Ye took a deep breath. While adjusting the equipment, he secretly glanced at the audience, his handsome face showing a hint of trepidation.

The first row of seats was occupied by renowned PhDs from various regions, while the back was filled with researchers, some of the museum owners, top players, champions, and teachers and students from Hongda University.

If a legendary Pokémon that makes a comeback every year were to throw a meteorite here, human development would be set back at least thirty years.

Who wouldn't be nervous giving an academic presentation in front of such a lineup? Even Xia Ye, who transmigrated from Earth, was no exception.

Before conducting the final test, Natsuno glanced at the audience one last time.

Professor Oak, sitting on the far left of the first row, smiled and gave Natsuno a thumbs up.

Fourth from the right, Daiki saw the kind-looking Grandma Mustard Seed give Natsuno an approving look, which put Natsuno at ease.

Sitting behind Jie Zilan, Zhu Lan, unlike her usual black trench coat, was wearing a white lab coat and gold-rimmed glasses. Her academic style caught Xia Ye's eye.

When she saw Natsuno looking over, the blonde woman smiled and gently clenched her right fist in encouragement. This was a gesture she had learned from Natsuno when she was eight years old.

The familiar movements made Xia Ye's heart sink, and his nervousness vanished instantly.

With the final preparations complete, Xia Ye opened his file, his voice calm and unhurried.

"Dear seniors, I am Natsuno, a trainee researcher. Today's report is: The investigation into the existence of genetic factors is based on experiments on pea breeding and Pokémon genetic moves."

"Four hundred years ago, our ancestors figured out that the essence of Pokémon moves is a way of using energy."

"For example, the act of being cute doesn't stop working just because the other person closes their eyes. The essence is that the Pokémon uses the act of being cute to mobilize the energy in its body and act on the other person to reduce physical attacks."

"Two years ago, I was wondering why Pokémon are born with moves, while humans aren't?"

At this point, Xia Ye spread his palm and pointed to an elderly man with a receding hairline on the far right of the first row.

"Dr. Anthony determined through cell exploration that the birth of life is caused by each parent giving a part of their offspring, thus creating life."

Dr. Anthony looked at Natsuno with an excited expression and raised his hand in response.

"According to the theory of matter, the apparent characteristics of a move, as well as its nature, gender, and even whether it is different in color, all have a material basis."

"So what is this material basis? I have noticed that during the process of conceiving life, the genetic material given to the offspring by both parents, which I will call hereditary factors for the time being."

"Is there a difference in Pokémon genetic factors between humans and Pokémon? This would allow humans to not have it, but Pokémon to master moves on their own."

"Let's think about inherited moves again. By breeding with other Pokémon, the offspring can learn moves that the original Pokémon couldn't learn at all. Why is that?"

"The genetic hypothesis can perfectly explain the inheritance of techniques. Through reproduction, offspring acquire new genetic factors and thus learn corresponding new techniques."

At this moment, the entire venue was completely silent. As Xia Ye's report progressed, everyone was frantically taking notes on their phones or tablets, and their eyes were filled with shock as they looked up at Xia Ye.

As Xia Ye paused briefly, whether it was the first row, the second row, or the back row, or perhaps it was everyone's unanimous thought, applause erupted and lasted for a long time.

Natsuno could hear the professors in the first row discussing and verifying some of the ideas in their minds.

Five minutes later, the applause gradually subsided.

"We have a hypothesis, but how do we verify it? By direct observation?"

"There is still a lot of room for development in the current field of cell research. We only know about the cell nucleus now, but no one knows what is inside it."

"Whether genetic factors exist or not is still unknown. I can only think of starting from the epigenetic stage and verifying it by observing traits, that is, the corresponding epigenetic state."

"Once, I had lunch with Professor Oak at the research institute. That day, I used my hometown's cooking skills to make an Eastern dish, peas stir-fried with Slowpoke tail meat. Professor Oak praised it highly."

Professor Oak, sitting in the audience, laughed and chatted with the other professors: "Natsuno is a great researcher, and his cooking is superb. I've gained over ten pounds in the last two years."

Natsuno's expression turned into a smile as he continued his report.

"It suddenly occurred to me that plants have short reproductive cycles and some plant traits are very obvious. I found that the flower color, seeds, and plant height of peas are all very easy to distinguish."

"Then I started growing peas in the research institute. When I was bored, I also posted the videos I recorded on the Pokémon app. The juniors at Hongda University should have seen my videos."

"It's that account with the ID 'Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off,' which posted a series of videos titled 'Shocking! Researcher Actually Did That in the Research Institute, It's So Tragic It Makes Men Silent and Women Weep.' Yes, that's my account."

The students from Yuhong University in the back row of the auditorium burst into laughter, and the boys even whistled: "Senior, you tricked me into reading this boring article with clickbait titles, you have to take responsibility!"

Natsuno smiled but didn't reply, continuing his report.

"From day one to yesterday, all the experimental content has been fully recorded in the video. To save time, the following will be a report of the experimental results and analysis of the thought process, using screenshots."

...

"Through the above three experiments, we have ruled out the possibility of low-level Grass-type Pokémon using energy to accelerate the growth of Pea Seeds and the interference of plants on genetic factors. Subsequent experiments will all use the accelerated growth mode."

"Energy activation allows peas to grow from seed to maturity in just 20 days. The following is a summary and analysis of the results of the subsequent 20 experiments."

"The results and conclusions of the 100 experiments on the genetic process of genetic moves conducted on 500 Pokémon during this period will also be reported."

...

"In conclusion, the existence of hereditary factors has been confirmed. I have chosen a more fitting name: gene."

"Genes always exist in pairs in living organisms, but in reproductive cells, genes always exist singly. During the birth of genetic cells, paired genes separate from each other."

"This is the law of segregation of genes."

"The segregation and combination of genes that control different traits do not interfere with each other. During gamete formation, genes of the same trait separate from each other, while genes of different traits combine freely."

"This is the law of independent assortment of genes."

After casually recounting the two fundamental laws that laid the foundation for genetics, Natsuno paused for a moment.

I glanced at the time; it had been almost two hours. No one in the audience had lost focus, and no one had left halfway through.

"This paper does not require any references. That concludes my presentation."

The others were stunned by that last sentence and fell into a daze for a moment.

Professor Oak, who knew this, was the first to stand up and applaud.

Everyone else snapped out of their daze, stood up, and applause resounded throughout the sky.

[System notification: Academic presentation completed, task accomplished!]

Seeing his influence points steadily increasing, Xia Ye breathed a sigh of relief: Xiao Cai's genetic defect could finally be resolved.

It's been two years. Do you know how I've spent these two years?

Plant peas! Plant peas day after day!

Two years ago, one morning, Natsuno's memories awakened, and he discovered that he had stumbled upon the Pokémon world by sheer luck. Natsuno was very happy.

Which Pokémon fan wouldn't want to come to the Pokémon world themselves?

I remember now!

I'm not a corporate slave who's forced to work overtime every day, I'm a Pokémon Master!

However, after learning the situation, Natsuno stopped laughing and seriously suspected that he had been set up.

Ask around, which Pokémon trainer isn't one who travels to the Pokémon world?
