Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

Xiao Cai, who had long since escaped from the ball to become a little helper, also lay down on the ground in the same posture, panting heavily.

Xia Ye tried to sit up straight and did a stretch: "Oh dear, before I knew it, it was already dark."

"You haven't forgotten anything, have you? Then we can go back later."

At that moment, Apollo, far away in the Devon Group parking lot, sneezed.

I started to doubt my existence: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing here?

This Natsuno has been up there for so long today and still hasn't come down. Could he have made some great discovery up there?

Since he arrived, I've been his driver every day. How long has it been since I've led any of the organization's operations?

Apollo was somewhat frustrated and angry, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the right to urge Natsuno, so he could only continue looking at his phone to pass the time.

At the Tsukimiyama campsite, Natsuno glanced towards the entrance of the passage.

A group of people from the alliance's R&D department had already set up some monitoring equipment at the entrance of the passage.

Unfortunately, no corresponding magnetic field reaction was detected at the entrance, so the task had to be handed over to the exploration team.

The exploration team, led by Adu, was fully armed and ready to go.

At this moment, Natsuno saw the person in charge, Joey, go up and discuss something with A-Du. A-Du's expression was serious.

Natsuno got up and walked over there, wanting to hear the whole story.

"Mr. Lance, the affected Pokémon cannot be caught in Poké Balls. There are still a lot of wild Pokémon in Mt. Tsukimi!"

"We have to go in and heal those poor Pokémon, please don't stop us!"

Faced with the stubborn manager Joey, Adu felt somewhat helpless.

"The Pokémon inside the Poké Ball will also be affected, and the situation inside is unclear, so please don't panic!"

"I didn't mean to stop you, I just hope you'll postpone your entry until we've assessed the situation."

"Wild Pokémon are more ferocious and more likely to go berserk when affected. I can't let you take that risk!"

Both sides had their own version of events, and the person in charge, Joey, simply blocked Adu's way, preventing him from leaving.

Natsuno quickly stepped forward and offered advice: "Awata, it would be best if your advance team also focused on treatment first."

"Otherwise, if we get slowed down by the rampaging wild Pokémon, it will take even longer."

"Ideally, each team should be equipped with several Joeys so that treatment and testing can be carried out simultaneously, thus increasing the speed."

Adu fell into thought for a moment, and half a minute later, he slowly nodded amidst the surprised expression of the person in charge, Joey.

The person in charge, Joey, quickly left to gather the medical personnel who were going into the cave.

Natsuno was actually quite eager to go into the cave and couldn't help but volunteer.

"Adu, let me go in with you. Maybe I can find some clues."

Awatari turned her head and looked at Aya, who was holding Madoka next to Natsuno and had an adorable expression on her face.

Shaking his head repeatedly, he said, "Xia Ye, you absolutely cannot go in and take the risk. Your strength is mediocre, it's really not suitable for you!"

Xia Ye's eyes widened, his fingers trembling: "My strength is mediocre?"

A-Du nodded without hesitation: "Yes, he has just reached the level required for the first test of a dojo apprentice."

After saying that, he left, leaving Xia Ye sulking on the spot.

Natsuno was so angry that he couldn't speak, his fists clenched tightly.

An apprentice who barely passed the first test?

Does that mean the first apprentice who enters the school is only there to impart experience?

I'm so angry! I'm the champion of all generations!

Suddenly, the scene of me beating Adu in the game flashed through my mind, and I chuckled to myself.

Then I felt my clothes being tugged, pulling me out of my memories, and I turned to look.

The adorable little Cai was tugging at his clothes. Seeing the two little cuties, Xia Ye's anger suddenly deflated.

He loosened his clenched fist: Okay, I admit my skills are just average right now.

I'm so sad, I've decided to go slack off!

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the direction of the camp.

"Catch that liar!"

Chapter 134 Azure Scams Again, Caught Red-Handed

fraud?

The commotion coming from the camp piqued Natsuno's curiosity, so he ran toward the source of the sound.

Halfway there, I saw a girl in a dark blue dress running ahead of me.

Although it was already dark, Natsuno still recognized the girl running wildly: "Azure?!"

A large group of people were chasing after Azure from behind.

"Scammer, stop right there! Give me my money back!"

"The so-called family heirloom energy cube that can cure all diseases is just a regular version!"

While running, Azure even had time to turn around and provoke, making a face.

"Hehe, I earned this money through my own abilities, why should I pay you back?"

The next second, Azure suddenly felt her neck being grabbed.

His entire body was lifted off the ground, and his legs struggled violently, but he could not move forward even half a step.

Azure slowly turned her head and saw the second thing she feared most in her life.

At this moment, Natsuno was staring at her expressionlessly, one hand holding Bilan by the neck.

Azure screamed instantly: "Ah! Evil Gengar! What are you doing here!"

Natsuno was amused by the nickname given to him by Bilan and let out a cold snort.

Bilan clasped her hands together, tears welling up in her eyes, her little face looking pitiful.

"Yes, it's Lord Natsuno. I was wrong. Please forgive my slip of the tongue and let me go. They will kill me."

Natsuno regained his expression: "Have you forgotten that this trick doesn't work on me anymore?"

By this time, the chasing crowd had caught up with the two of them, panting heavily.

"Thank you, thank you for helping me catch this swindler!"

"Oh, you're Mr. Natsuno!"

Natsuno felt a little tired from carrying her, so she put Bilan down, but kept her hand on Bilan's neck.

Based on the shouts of the chasing crowd ahead, Natsuno roughly understood.

It must be Azur Lane who stole the energy cubes from the research institute and is now committing fraud.

Natsuno's forehead veins bulged: "Professor Oki asked you to help look after the research institute, and this is how you look after it?"

"They misappropriated energy cubes from the research institute and came here to scam people in Dark Grey?"

"You're really well-informed; you got all the way from Pallet Town to Dark Grey so quickly."

When Bilan realized that Xia Ye had seen through her in a second, she remembered that pretending to be pitiful and using her beauty to seduce Xia Ye had no effect.

He simply crossed his arms, remained silent, and gave off an expression that said, "What can you do to me?"

She remained unmoved by the condemnation, intimidation, coercion, and enticement of the deceived crowd.

At this moment, A-Du also came over after hearing the commotion, his face full of authority: "Little girl, is it you who is committing fraud here?"

When Bilan saw that it was Adu, she became somewhat flustered.

She switched to a pitiful mode in an instant, and another tear squeezed out from the corner of her eye.

"I... I didn't mean to, it's just that my family has fallen on hard times..."

Bilan still wants to continue making up her story of "a seriously ill grandfather, gambling parents, a bankrupt family, and an ambitious woman".

But who is A-Du? He's worldly-wise and doesn't bother with Azur Lane at all.

"You can tell your story when you're inside the police station."

"Now, let's return all the money we swindled to the victims."

With a wave of his hand, Adu sent two Officer Jennys stepping forward to restrain the restless Azure.

Several other officers shouted, "Those who have been scammed, gather over here and register your information."

Azure was escorted to a small tent, where Officer Jenny conducted a full-body search, finding her phone and wallet on her chest.

Lights were on inside the tent on the other side, and a long line stretched out at the entrance as police officers registered and recorded cases of people being scammed.

Azure was taken away and made to return the money she had just swindled, comparing it against each payment record.

Every time Officer Jenny returned a sum of money, Azure's expression became more and more pained.

A kind-hearted man surnamed Xia even gave Officer Jenny some advice, suggesting that Azure should even keep her eyes open and watch.

Looking at the dozens of people queuing outside the tent, Xia Ye felt that Bi Lan's scam technique was truly outrageous.

After the money swindled from the camp was paid off, Officer Jenny frowned as she looked at the large balance in Azure's account.

"Ms. Azure, your account still has a large balance. Please inform us whether this income is from a legal source."

At this moment, Bilan's eyes darted around, and she was about to talk about her family's fruit tree business.

Once again, she channeled Lin Daiyu's spirit, her expression sorrowful, tears welling up before she could speak.

Unfortunately, these Officer Jennys were all elite personnel, and with a glance from Azure, they knew something was wrong.

"I'm sure you have a wonderful and touching story to tell. Let's go back to the police station and talk about it!"

Seeing that playing the victim wasn't working, Bilan noticed Xia Ye gloating beside her.
