Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

...

"A coincidence? I don't think so. Since the three of them managed to mobilize most of the police force in Kuye City and still managed to escape in the end."

"In the end, they even brought the items back, and even managed to do so while Chi Yan Song Shui Wu Tong and the others were searching for them. Let's call them in."

Sakaki looked at the three stone slabs placed on his desk, feeling the water, fire, and thunder energies contained within them, and looked at Masato with satisfaction before giving him instructions.

True Bird understood, and half a minute later, a knock sounded at the door, and the excited Team Rocket trio walked in.

Meow Meow respectfully saluted Sakaki, but her eyes would unconsciously fall on the big cat next to him.

Looking at the trio, Sakaki's gaze lingered on Kojiro's face for several seconds, comparing him to a news photo of someone offering a large reward for finding a lost child.

Noticing Sakaki's gaze, Kojiro's eyes darted around, his gaze shifted downwards, and he subtly leaned back, hoping to diminish his presence.

This scene was naturally observed by Sakaki, who became even more certain of Kojiro's identity and seemed to understand Kojiro's thoughts.

Sakaki's gaze lingered on Musashi's face for several seconds, his pupils dilating slightly as he recalled that his mother had a managerial assistant.

He had the same hair color and the same posture and expression as Musashi in front of him. Although he respected the leader, he did not lose his composure.

Musashi, of course, noticed Sakaki's gaze at this moment. Recalling her past failures in both love and work, she gently gritted her teeth.

She finally achieved some success with the Rockets this time, and she doesn't want to lose that hope, so she's working even harder to show her attitude.

At this moment, because of Musashi, Giovanni recalled his mother, the true founder of Team Rocket, and a rare tenderness flashed in his eyes.

'Was my mother's capable assistant named Miyamoto? I vaguely remember Aunt Miyamoto mentioning that she had a daughter... Is it a coincidence?'

"Aunt Miyamoto said raising a daughter is expensive, so she followed her mother's instructions to capture Mew, but unfortunately she didn't return. Her daughter had been entrusted to a poor family for adoption."

Several thoughts flashed through Sakaki's mind in a single second, obscure and unclear.

His gaze swept across the room, and then he looked at Meow Meow, who was so excited that she couldn't speak: "Just ordinary. It seems that these two are the key people."

After carefully examining the items, Sakaki nodded in satisfaction to the trio, his words seemingly carrying a hidden meaning.

"The Rockets don't care about anyone's past. Once you join, you're comrades. Fight for the ideals of the organization."

"You have made such a great contribution, you will no longer be the fuel team, but will be promoted to the special operations team."

"From now on, you will only have me as your superior. You will not need to report your work to anyone else. Zhenniao will keep in touch with you."

"That's fine. You can go out now. The real bird will give you the corresponding tasks later."

Masato, standing to the side, gently pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a sharp light.

The trio was overjoyed and saluted again: "Yes, boss! For Team Rocket!"

The three then left the room with great joy, pumping their fists in the hallway: "Yay! Promotion and raise!"

Only Meow Meow looked a little disappointed. After leaving Sakaki's office, he was no longer nervous and was able to speak.

"It's a pity that I couldn't let the boss see my talent, meow meow! I'm going to replace the boss and become the new favorite of boss Sakaki, meow!"

Meow Meow clenched her fist tightly, but the next second the door to Sakaki's office opened again, and the three of them instantly stood at attention with solemn expressions.

A woman in black stockings and a business suit appeared, accompanied by the crisp rhythm of high heels. She walked out carrying a laptop and closed the office door.

After glancing at the trio, Masahiro took the lead and said, "Follow me."

Upon arriving at an empty office, Masato sat down at the desk, searched for information on the computer, and then looked up with an unusually serious expression.

Faced with the sudden drop in air pressure in the room, the trio dared not even breathe.

"During your three missions, you applied for funding from the organization multiple times, and have already received advance payments for a full five years' worth of salaries. Is that true?"

Kojiro and Musashi nodded eagerly: "That's right, in order to better complete the mission, we're applying for funding..."

The divine bird pointed and said, "Shut up! If it's true, then that's correct. The organization won't investigate how you use it, but what's lent out must be returned. That's the basic principle of being a decent human being, isn't it?"

The trio nodded repeatedly, and Makoto's tone softened.

"Your next task is to capture rare Pokémon, the rarer the better, to replenish the organization's funds and pay off your debts, understand?"

The trio nodded frantically, and Masahiro pointed at the door without any politeness: "If you understand, go now, what are you dawdling for!"

The three bowed and left the room. After closing the door, Musashi couldn't help but make a face at the inside and immediately thought of Shin-tori's hairstyle, which looked like it had been made by turning a watermelon rind upside down.

"Tch, you watermelon-rind glasses girl, what are you so smug about!"

"That's right, once we complete more missions and become core cadres, we'll definitely teach you a lesson!"

Meow Meow licked its paws and wiped the gold coins off its forehead.

"Meow, where should we go to catch rare Pokémon, meow?"

goo~

At that moment, the three of them had stomach rumbling at the same time. Kojiro reached into his pocket and pulled out only a few limited edition bottle caps.

"I don't know. Before that, let's go to the base canteen and have a big meal!"

"Great idea, Kojiro! Meow meow, let's go!"

The three of them headed to the base canteen in a large group, only to be told that because they owed the organization a lot of money, they would have to pay to use the canteen.

The three guys, who couldn't even come up with a single penny together, sighed, "We're so hungry."

Meow Meow waved its paws, saying, "Cheer up, meow! It's just about making money, meow! We have to work hard!"

Chapter 529 As expected of the eldest brother!

Meanwhile, after having eaten and drunk their fill, Natsuno and his group set off again, with Kin wearing a mask to cover his face.

Looking at Xia Ye's disguised ordinary face, A Jin was very envious: "Big brother, how did you do that? Can you teach me?"

"Being a champion is really tough. You get recognized everywhere you go, and then all sorts of things pop up. It's a real headache."

"Even when I wear a mask, I still get recognized. It's all because of my stunning presence. But it's really troublesome; I don't even dare to go out anymore."

Natsuno looked at Akin's backwards hat and goggles and shook his head: "Couldn't you have adjusted your headwear? It's so unique, who wouldn't recognize you?"

Xia Ye went up and ripped off A Jin's hat and goggles, revealing his hairstyle.

"If you take it off like that, no one will have ever seen what your hair looks like without your hat. Just put on a mask, and that'll be fine, right?"

After some modifications, the group headed to the beach under Ah Jin's guidance, where several police officers were waiting with a large box on their backs.

Ah Jin walked over, took off his mask, saluted the officers, and waved goodbye.

Natsuno thought for a second: "By the way, there are dojos in Azalea Town, right? Why are they only sending a few police officers to escort them?"

Akin didn't care at all. He opened the huge box, took a look, and nodded after confirming that everything was there.

"Although level 90 Energy Cubes are quite valuable, not all Pokémon can eat them, so there's no need to worry too much."

"Let's go, I can't wait to see Ho-Oh!"

After saying that, Akin took out a Poké Ball and released a Togekiss with a somewhat roguish expression.

Natsuno shook his head and summoned both Kelvin and Meng. The former carried Fuji, while the latter used her superpowers to carry the box.

Xiaoya then summoned the symbolic bird, flipped over and sat directly in the middle, not even glancing at Xia Ye.

Xia Ye, who was still hesitating, suddenly had an idea when he saw her like this. He quickly walked over and squeezed onto the symbol bird's back.

Xiaoya was taken aback by this guy's behavior and was so surprised that Xia Ye managed to squeeze her up to sit next to her on either side.

Xiaoya tried to elbow Xia Ye with her Iron Mountain Lean, but the evil research man remained as steady as Mount Tai and was unmoved.

With a wave of his hand, he declared, "Symbolic Bird, let's go!"

As the symbolic bird took flight and led the way, Xiaoya punched Xia Ye hard: "Damn it, this is my partner, what are you ordering around for!"

Unfortunately, Xia Ye had anticipated this and gently blocked Xiao Ya's hammer blows with his palm, perfectly parrying them without getting hurt.

Seeing this, Xiaoya got even more excited and started hammering wildly with both hands.

Seeing that he couldn't hold out any longer, Natsuno didn't beg for mercy. Instead, he started using underhanded tricks on a whim.

He let out a cry of "Ouch!" and pretended to lose his balance and fall downwards, but his right hand had actually been secretly catching him from behind. It was just a feint.

Unfortunately, Cattleya didn't see through his trick. Seeing that Natsuno was about to fall to the left, she quickly grabbed him with both hands and held him tightly to prevent him from falling.

Feeling the strength from the other person's arm and seeing the concern in Xiaoya's eyes, Xia Ye felt his heart race for some reason.

Once Xiaoya confirmed that she had "rescued" Xia Ye, she suddenly panicked when he stared at her and inexplicably glared at him.

"What are you looking at! Haven't you ever seen someone as beautiful as me? I should have known better than to hold you back and let you fall down. You squeezed your way up anyway and were just taking up space."

Natsuno snapped out of her daze after being glared at like that, and said, "Ah, yes, thank you."

Then, each lost in their own thoughts, the two stopped looking at each other, and a silence fell over the room.

Not far away, Akin, riding on Togekiss, watched the scene of Natsuno and the other two playfully fighting ahead and gave Natsuno a thumbs up.

"As expected of my older brother, he even has this trick up his sleeve! I've learned something new! Speaking of which, wasn't my older brother dating Champion Cynthia? What's going on now..."

Ah Jin scratched his head, deep in thought, and then suddenly realized something with a fist.

"I understand! As expected of our elder brother, you are truly a role model for us all! We will learn from you!"

No one knows what Ah Jin understood, only that Crystal started hitting Ah Jin more and more often after that.

The group quickly returned to the island forest. Xia Ye patted Xiao Meng's arm and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

A-Jin watched as Xiao-Meng carried the huge box all the way here without even breaking a sweat, and felt a pang of envy.

"Big brother, can Mewtwo be created again? I want a Mewtwo as a companion too."

Xia Ye shook his head, ignoring A Jin, and looked at Ma Xiaduo, who was peeking out from his shadow.

Without saying a word, the latter stepped forward to absorb energy again and opened the Shadow Forest.

Ajin stared at Marshadow in front of him, his pupils gleaming: "Another Pokémon I've never seen before, bro, is it a legendary or a mythical one?"

Natsuno waved his hand, his eyes serious: "Marshad is a Mythical Pokémon. Calm down first. The important thing is that we can't see Ho-Oh without us. Don't upset the little guy."

Akin regretfully put the Poké Ball back into his pocket, leaving Natsuno speechless.

"Come on, legendary and mythical creatures have their own temperaments; the usual rules for taming them in the wild don't apply. Do you think this is a game?"

Ah Jin heard his thoughts and sighed deeply.

Marshall quickly opened the entrance to the Shadow Forest, and Akin looked at the surrounding scenery, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
