Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

Shaking off the boring thoughts, Natsuno returned to the testing ground, where Professor Oak also ran over carrying a Luxury Ball.

Cell spheres inherently possess superpower attributes, so their attributes must be altered by immersion in water before the magic powder can be tested.

Originally just a light blue circle, it was first soaked in water, turning its body a deep blue, and then it was hit by a magic powder.

The detector screen displays the current attribute: Water!

"Even the magic powder didn't work! I can't believe it!"

Professor Oak's eyes lit up as he stared at Madoka, as if he had come to the Diamond Smash Village with a bewitching gaze.

Xia Ye's mind quickly flashed through the several genetic mutations in Xiao Yuan's body, and his thoughts were suddenly opened up.

She gestured for Bumriewon to use the magic powder again, while Natsuno leaned closer to carefully observe the changes inside Madoka's body.

Bumriv, who looked like a witch, manipulated her tentacle-shaped hair to release magic powder precisely, covering only a one-centimeter area around Xiao Yuan.

With the keen eyesight that every Pokémon player possesses, Natsuno observed very carefully: the magic powder, glowing with energy, seeped directly into Madoka's body and then disappeared!

Natsuno then gestured for Professor Oak to come and watch, and the two of them witnessed this wondrous process.

Then they repeated the other powder moves, both wearing dust masks made of the same material as the dust goggles, staring intently at Xiao Yuan's face.

All I could see was that the various powders remained on the hard outer surface of the small round membrane, without having any effect.

I looked at the changes in the sandstorm and snow scene again: the energy seeped into the small circle, but it didn't take effect, but it didn't disappear either.

With all the experiments completed, Xia Ye breathed a sigh of relief and gave his conclusions.

"Xiaoyuan's special ability is undoubtedly magical defense. As for dust protection, the principle is as follows."

"Genetic mutations in the outer membrane prevent almost all substances from passing through, but energy can penetrate."

"Energy cubes, nutrient solutions, and the like are all high-energy substances that cannot be absorbed, but they can be absorbed by converting them into attribute energy."

"The powder-based moves mentioned earlier all have a material basis. They use energy to activate the powder on the Pokémon in a specific form to produce special effects."

"However, because the outer membrane of the small circle will block these powders, the energy will directly penetrate in, but without pollen or other powders in the small circle's body as a catalyst, there is only the pure energy effect, so it is ineffective."

"The snow and sand produced by weather effects are mostly in the form of energy and will seep in, but because Madoka's true characteristic is magical defense, it will not deduct stamina."

"Finally, the magic powder also seeped in, but because of another mutation in Madoka, it absorbs superpower energy, so it was ineffective."

"Without that mutation that absorbs superpowers, the magic powder is actually effective."

"That's it, the mystery is solved."

"It's not a gene mutation corresponding to the characteristic, but mutations in two other genes that led to the effect corresponding to another characteristic, which is also a miracle."

As Xia Ye packed up his things, he sighed. Xiao Cai, who had somehow taken out a tablet and turned it into a recorder, also finished filming and helped with the packing.

"Since it's related to genes, why don't you write a paper while you're at it? Anyway, you've already made the video recordings and have a ready-made chain of evidence. You might as well publish the paper."

After treating Xiaoyuan, Xia Ye nodded, "Okay, I have time anyway."

Publishing papers while slacking off is a wonderful thing!

Professor Oak wiped his face, which was covered with marks from various moves, and then said, "Don't rush to write. Let's go to the Kanto League headquarters today. Lance happens to be free at headquarters today."

Natsuno nodded, but when he turned his head, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Green taking a walk with Squirtle in the distance.

After tidying everything up, Xia Ye put away Xiao Cai.

Since the deluxe ball I just ordered online hasn't arrived yet, I'm thinking of using it to build a bond with Xiaoyuan: staring at each other in a game.

Natsuno rode on Dragonite, holding the energy conversion device, and had a staring contest with the little circle fixed on the device. Time flew by.

Half an hour later, at the top landing area of ​​the Quartz Alliance Building, Natsuno dismounted from the back of the Dragonite.

I jotted down the inspiration for my "Pokémon World Flying Ride Experience Record" for the Dragonite series.

Dragonite has a wide back that can accommodate two to three people, providing excellent visibility. Its flexible body makes it comfortable to ride, and it is gentle with people. It will actively open its wind shield. It is extremely fast, but it is also very stable when flying. Overall rating: five stars!

Following Professor Oak to the entrance to the top floor, we passed through strict security measures.

First, they went through a scanning machine, then through a X-ray vision device, and finally, a guard checked all their belongings.

You can only enter after passing through three checkpoints and taking the elevator to other floors.

A minor incident occurred during the security check.

A middle-aged man refused to cooperate with the inspection and made a lot of nonsense: "Do you know who I am? I don't have to be inspected like this anywhere else, even more strictly than the prisoners in prison."

The two guards remained expressionless as they worked together to keep the middle-aged man out of the door: "I'm sorry, it doesn't matter who you are. Even if it were Mr. Adu, he would cooperate quietly with the inspection here. If you don't want to, please leave."

The elevator stopped on the 19th floor, and people were coming and going in the corridor, moving between the various rooms.

Arriving at the room at the end of the corridor, they knocked on the door, and A-Du's calm voice rang out: "Please come in."

A-Wu was engrossed in dealing with a large pile of documents on the table when he saw Natsuno and the other person come in, and he stood up to greet them.

"Professor Oak, Natsuno, you're here. Ah, I remember now, I made arrangements as soon as I got back that day, but I was so busy that I forgot to follow up."

A-Du pressed the speed dial button on the phone and said to the other end, "Come over here."

Then a young man in a shirt came in. Adu pointed to the huge pile of documents on the table without any politeness.

"Go and distribute some to the other three Heavenly Kings. I have confidential business to attend to."

The young man nodded, picked up the stack of documents, and left.

Natsuno looked at A-Du with shining eyes: Yes, yes, that's it! It's perfectly justifiable to delegate tasks to others while you slack off elsewhere. That's the ideal life!

Following A-Du, they arrived at a locked room. A-Du took out a card to unlock it and enter.

Inside was a special elevator; Adu could only press the floor button after his iris was scanned.

"This is the Information Security Department of the Kanto Alliance, a secret department unknown to the outside world."

"What you need is right here."

Chapter 25 Dr. Akihabara? Prototype Code: Polygon

"The department is responsible for the cybersecurity of the entire Kanto region, covering all areas including the Pokémon Drop-off system."

In each room along both sides of the corridor, many people were busy operating a large number of screens.

Arriving at the far end of the room, which was quite spacious, several people stood with their backs to the door, staring at the screen in front of them.

"And he's the person in charge here,"

Adu's voice caught the attention of one of the bespectacled men, who was about forty years old. He turned around and stood up, his head gleaming with a bald head, like a mischievous bomb.

"Dr. Akihabara?"

The three people spoke in unison.

As Watari was introducing the students, Professor Oak and Natsuno recognized each other's faces, their expressions and tones showing great surprise.

It goes without saying that Oki knew him, but Natsuno had looked up information after returning home that day and thus gained the memory.

But both of them remembered Dr. Akihabara's past appearance: a head of thick black hair, completely different from the bald, mischievous Rai-dan he is now, so they were naturally extremely surprised.

Akihabara walked over quickly and took Professor Oak's hand.

"Professor Oak, it's been a long time. Ah, I mean, let's meet in person. I've been following your updates online every day."

Then he looked at Xia Ye and said with great admiration, "Xia Ye, right? You're even more handsome in person than online. You're a promising young man. And I didn't expect you to know me. I'm so glad."

The group went to the next room and sat down, drinking tea and listening to Oki and Akihabara reminisce.

"Akihabara, how are you doing these days?"

"It was very enjoyable. The entire cybersecurity system of the Kanto Alliance was built under my leadership, allowing me to fully utilize my strengths."

“The cybersecurity departments in other regions are also managed by my various apprentices. We protect people from the shadows and can also make contributions.”

"Even though that happened back then, the league still respects me a lot. Although it's unknown to others, it allows me to get things done quietly, which I really appreciate."

Seeing that Akihabara's face was beaming with joy, and that he didn't seem to be faking it, Oki and Natsuno felt a little relieved.

Xia Ye suddenly realized: So he's a coding genius. No wonder his head is so shiny, it's a buff.

My mind is working now, I'm even more powerful!

Natsuno, holding Madoka, explained the purpose of their visit.

Dr. Akihabara inquired about the requirements in detail, while taking out his tablet to record the key points.

She also complained that when Adu came last time, he didn't give a clear answer, and when she sent him a message, he didn't remember to reply, so she didn't know how things were going.

A-Du seemed to have long been used to the other party's straightforward personality, and nodded in apology.

"Infiltrating a secret base might involve comprehensive eavesdropping, including information isolation firewalls. Trying to pass on a message? That would be very difficult."

"However, is this secret base you're talking about located in Changqing City? Or in Yuhong City?"

“I had noticed some anomalies in the network information transmission in these two cities before, but I couldn’t find a pattern.”

Awatari's eyes lit up, and he urged Akihabara to pay close attention to the anomalies and try to find the root cause.

The other party took note of Awatari's words and began to think about the request Natsuno made.

No one else disturbed them; they simply drank their tea quietly.

A dozen minutes later, Akihabara took a deep breath, stood up, and gestured for everyone to follow him.

The group followed them to a private office in Akihabara, where the office quietly locked the door.

Akihabara took a laptop out of the drawer, his expression very serious.

Seeing his seriousness, the three of them sat quietly in their chairs and waited, not daring to disturb him.

After quickly maneuvering a few times, Akihabara looked up at the three of them and asked the question that countless people had asked: "Do you believe that humans can create Pokémon?"

The other three reacted differently.

A-Du shook his head directly. Oki instinctively wanted to shake his head too, but then stopped, turned to look at Natsuno, and remained silent.

Without hesitation, Natsuno replied, "Yes." He already knew this, and there was even the possibility of participating in the Mewtwo Project: "Yes."

Akihabara nodded: "I understand the genetic theory now. Pokémon is indeed full of more possibilities."

He then pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a captivating light.

"But if I were to ask, 'If it were a non-genetic method, do you think humans could create Pokémon?'"
