Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

However, when faced with Fuji's question, Marshadow looked blank: "I don't know. If I knew, why would I hide it from you?"

'All I know is that Lord Ho-Oh has been in the Nirvana Egg form for nearly fifty years.'

Fuji was somewhat angry and unwilling to accept the towering egg in front of him. The next second, he strode towards the Ho-Oh egg.

"Ho-Oh! Wake up now!"

Natsuno tried to stop him, but Xiaolan called out to him, "Don't worry, he can't get through."

Natsuno was somewhat surprised, but noticed that Marcia didn't even make any move, just watching Fuji run towards the egg.

As Fuji drew closer to the egg, it gradually felt the true heat of the Flame of Rebirth, so intense that it could barely open its eyes.

Taking another step forward, his foot suddenly lost its footing, and he uncontrollably plummeted into the shadows and disappeared.

Natsuno was shocked and was about to ask Marshall when a shadow opened up in the void 2 meters in front of him, and Fuji fell out and lay on the ground, still somewhat shaken.

Marshadow merely glared coldly at Fuji: 'Do not offend Lord Ho-Oh's majesty! This is a one-time warning!'

Fuji slammed his fist on the ground in frustration, staring intently at the unchanging Phoenix Egg.

Marshadow turned to look at Natsuno, who asked the crucial question: "So how did Ho-Oh become like this? Was it injured in the battle?"

"Let me guess, did it happen because of the abuse of Nirvana's power? Or did it suffer some incurable injury?"

Marcia stared wide-eyed at Natsuno, 'How did you know...you truly are extraordinary.'

'However, I also do not know. If you possess great supernatural powers, please lend a hand; perhaps you can uncover some clues.'

Marshall looked at Xia Ye with renewed respect, his eyes now filled with anticipation.

Natsuno didn't care about this at all. The name itself revealed too much information, such as "Egg of Nirvana". Wasn't it just stating the truth?

However, Marshall's talk of great supernatural powers did make him secretly pleased.

Xia Ye smiled and said, "Mashado, tell me the whole story, and I'll analyze it."

Chapter 525 Do you know about polyploid tree fruits?

"Fifty years ago, on a certain day, I was searching for someone with rainbow wings to guide them through the Rainbow Trial, when I heard Lord Ho-Oh's call."

'When I arrived here, I saw that Lord Phoenix's life force was slowly fading away. He only said that he wished to transform into an egg of rebirth and ordered me to protect it.'

'I asked the lord why he had come to this, but he only uttered the word "time," and then nothing more, transforming into an egg of nirvana.'

'I used my authority to hide Lord Phoenix here, until recently, when I sensed a faint aura of the rainbow feathers on your body, and couldn't resist going to investigate.'

Natsuno marveled at the flames burning fiercely on the Phoenix Egg.

“You’re right, but this is the power of Nirvana. It can not only revive the Phoenix King’s guards, but also allow one to enter Nirvana and return. No matter how serious the injury, it won’t be a problem.”

"Speaking of which, is Ho-Oh conscious in this state? Or is it in a deep sleep, and will it only be able to communicate with the outside world after it recovers?"

Natsuno stroked his chin, entering a state of deep thought, and the next second his superpowers spread toward the Ho-Oh Egg.

"Hey, Ho-Oh, hello, Ho-Oh, are you there? Wake up!"

Seeing that Natsuno had transformed into an evil person who disturbed his peaceful sleep, Marshado clenched his fist, wanting to knock him away.

Having guarded the Ho-Oh egg for a long time, it is very clear whether the Ho-Oh inside the egg can respond to the outside world; it cannot.

However, considering Natsuno's strange behavior, Marshall temporarily categorized it as preparation for waking up Lord Ho-Oh and suppressed his anger.

Natsuno chattered away with his superpowers for several minutes, but seeing no response, he gave up for the time being.

Little Blue returned to his head after a long absence, carefully sensing the state of the Nirvana Egg.

'With vigorous vitality, the Nirvana Flame continues to absorb surrounding energy, and its estimated overall level is currently 85.'

Natsuno was stunned: "Huh? An 85-level egg? Is that right?"

Then I started a system scan that I no longer used subconsciously.

[The Egg of Nirvana (Ho-Oh's special state), overall level 85, Ho-Oh is expected to retain its original memories and hatch again after reaching LV90]

[Assessment: Hatching is still expected to take 48 years and 310 days; increasing the surrounding energy concentration could accelerate the process.]

Holy crap, is this really an 85-level egg? Wouldn't it be invincible to use it as a shield?

The Flame of Nirvana will continuously help this egg recover its condition; it seems to have endless uses!

Natsuno's mind was full of crazy ideas, like training sandbags, king examiners, and evil-fighting vanguard teams.

The next second, it was interrupted by Xiao Lan's inner voice: 'There's nothing wrong with its condition, but the energy in this space is somewhat depleted. If this continues, it will take Ho-Oh about 50 years to recover.'

Marshado's eyes lit up: "I see, I'm relieved. Although the Shadow Forest borders the real world, its energy flow is slightly slower."

Now that you know the situation, please come back in 50 years. I will continue to wait here.

Fifty years?

Upon hearing this, Fuji lost all his energy: he didn't think he had that much time left to live.

Then he looked at Natsuno with expectant eyes. Natsuno had already made his judgment and nodded slightly.

"It's nothing, it's just energy. Marshall, do you know about polyploid fruit?"

Marcia tilted her little head, pointing to her lips with her tiny hand: 'Tree fruit, delicious! More, more, more tree fruit? I don't know.'

Natsuno was amused by her cute appearance and explained it in a simpler way.

"In short, it's a tree fruit that contains more energy. Now, this tree fruit is planted everywhere in the environment around humans, and everyone's total energy intake is constantly increasing."

"There's actually a restaurant at the hotel, but you wouldn't come out when I asked you to. Don't be so shy next time."

"The current situation with the Nirvana Egg is that as long as we keep replenishing energy, we can accelerate its recovery. Coincidentally, energy is the last thing we lack right now."

Upon hearing Natsuno's words, Fuji and Marcia's eyes shone brightly once again.

"Really, Natsuno?" 'Are you telling the truth?'

Natsuno nodded vigorously: "I sometimes lie, but I never lie to Pokémon."

After saying that, Xia Ye was about to unpack his backpack and take out the energy cubes he had stored away when he noticed that Xiao Ya was still holding his arm. He reached out and patted her to remind her to let go first.

But for some reason, he put his hand down and instead used his superpowers to take it directly from behind.

Xiaoya saw Xia Ye extend his right hand in front of her but then immediately lower it. Her thoughts of a happy life were interrupted, and she looked up at Xia Ye's profile with some confusion.

The latter was trying to use his superpowers to take something out of his backpack, his expression focused, which made Xiaoya glance at him a few more times, somewhat mesmerized.

Soon, twenty boxes of energy cubes of various attributes were taken out. Xia Ye controlled one of the boxes to open and threw it directly at the Phoenix Egg.

The Nirvana Flame attached to the surface quickly swept away the energy cube, and the flames seemed to become even more intense.

Natsuno restarted the system scan and saw that Ho-Oh's recovery time had decreased by nearly two months, which immediately gave him confidence.

After opening all the remaining energy cubes at once, Nirvana Flame launched them without regard to their attributes, and the timer decreased again.

"It works! 20 boxes reduced the time by almost 2 years!"

Hearing Natsuno's words, Fuji breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the ground again, and patted the dirt off his body.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go back and get more Power Cubes, and try to wake up Ho-Oh in just one day!"

Fuji was full of energy again and urged Marshadow, "Hurry up and lead the way back. Don't you want to see Ho-Oh wake up soon?"

Marshall, unfazed by the urging, replied with equal delight, "Let's go!"

Without any hesitation, the two of them left in a hurry.

Xia Ye wanted to shrug, but Xiao Ya's head was still hanging on his left shoulder, and his hand was being held by Xiao Ya, so he couldn't shrug.

In the end, he could only shake his head and pull Xiaoya to catch up with the two in front of him.

Seeing that Xia Ye hadn't shaken her off, Xiao Ya hugged him tighter, savoring the tenderness he showed.

The scenery outside changed and became somewhat frightening. Without the iridescent glow of the phoenix egg, the vibrant world gradually turned gray, as if stepping into the shadows.

Xiaoya was originally clinging to Xia Ye's arm, but the changing scenery around her awakened the fear in her heart, and her heartbeat gradually accelerated.

As they reached a certain corner, she seemed to see some mysterious movement in the gray woods not far away. She cried out in surprise, turned and hid behind Xia Ye, who reached out and hugged her tightly.

She still didn't feel safe hugging him, so she simply jumped onto Xia Ye's back. Xia Ye instinctively held on, and she ended up carrying Xiao Ya on her back.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Chapter 526 You just let go like that?

Xiaoya hugs Natsuno from behind, usually resting her head against Natsuno's back, avoiding looking at the scary things around her.

Now, instead of jumping onto Xia Ye's back, Xia Ye carries her directly on his back, and the feeling is different. At least the area of ​​physical contact has increased, and Xia Ye's heart beats faster for no reason.

At this moment, he could still feel Xiaoya's breath on his neck after she buried her head in her nose; it was ticklish and traveled directly from his neck to the depths of Xia Ye's heart.

While his mind was in turmoil, he heard Xiaoya urging him to leave. Xia Ye mechanically moved his legs and caught up with the two people in front of him.

Little Blue noticed Cattleya's actions first and had already chosen to fly away from Natsuno's body, leaving not even its head behind, choosing to stay far away from humans.

They are great guardians of order, uninterested in and unwilling to interfere with the strange emotions between humans.

At this moment, Xia Ye was like a wind-up toy, his subconscious mind controlling his steps, his thoughts racing through his mind, yet he couldn't think of anything.

In fact, the person on his back was the same. Xiaoya buried her head in Xia Ye's neck, smelling the reassuring scent on Xia Ye's body. After a while, she suddenly came back to her senses.

The superpowered young lady's pupils dilated: Cattleya! What's wrong with you?! Why did you instinctively jump onto that bastard Natsuno's back?! You're not like this!

Just as she was feeling frustrated and at a loss, another voice rang in her heart: What does it matter? It's just memorizing it. Didn't we do it like this when we were kids?

Don't you remember? When we were kids, we'd play until we fell asleep in the wild, and Natsuno would carry us home on his back, wouldn't he? He may look thin, but he's incredibly reliable.

Two voices argued endlessly in her heart, but Xiaoya ignored both of them, simply continuing to breathe in the pleasant scent emanating from Xia Ye, trying to bury her head even deeper.

Gradually, her vision blurred, and finally her consciousness faded into a hazy state. The superpowered young lady was fast asleep again, breathing evenly, her face full of happiness.

At this moment, Xia Ye's mind was like a mess. As he was being hugged around the neck, he also recalled things from his childhood. Because Zhu Lan was not strong enough, and Xiao Cai was small with small arms and legs.

In the end, only the only male creature, Xia Ye, could be called upon to carry Xiao Ya, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion, home.

Hearing her even breathing, Natsuno suddenly laughed out loud: This girl is just like when she was a child. No matter how bumpy the road is, I can carry her without waking her up.

The next second, a strange sensation on his back reminded Xia Ye that he was no longer a child. He was a little stunned and swallowed.

Trying to dispel the strange thoughts in his mind, Xia Ye released his consciousness from the control mechanism, quickened his pace, and followed the path out of the shadowy forest.
