Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

However, these Pokémon are required to choose two high-power moves and one status move, making the early game extremely difficult. They are basically going to be constantly beaten down by their opponents, which fits their late-blooming nature.

Zhu Lan, following her usual practice, directly selected all random options, which was incredibly arrogant, making Xia Ye raise an eyebrow involuntarily.

[System notification: Player "Just Call You Little Wild" selected all random moves. Her randomly selected Pokémon is: Scyther, with the ability Technician, and the moves Twin Wings, Swords Dance, Grass, and Double Hit.]

Yes, if you choose all random options in this game, it will lock a random result that cannot be changed. Even if you choose to change a skill every 15 minutes in the game, the result will be randomly changed.

Then there will be a system announcement, which is both a declaration of expertise and an extreme provocation: I can crush you even with a completely random match!

Xia Ye was speechless when he saw her random result: "Sister, you're a pro, with Double Wings + Sword Dance + Drafting + Double Strike? You're declared the winner right away, is this how random things are?"

Oh, my sister is my teammate, that's fine then, random is good, sis, I'll play support for you!

Unable to resist, I exclaimed, "Your Champion is so mighty and powerful! I'll be your support!"

But Cattleya beat her to it, choosing the mischievous wind sprite and using it to help the parasitic seed poison powder.

With four variations of moves and no offensive skills, this is a pure support role combination, so Natsuno couldn't really say anything.

But Cynthia spoke up: "Cai, go to the bottom lane. The Pokémon she chose needs more support. I'm going to the mid lane."

Caldelia was sullen, but she couldn't argue back, so she could only agree.

Seeing that only the top lane remained, Natsuno locked onto Electabuzz, using Quick Attack + Charge Beam + Charge + Electric Terrain.

Shinji's ace in the anime. After watching the Sinnoh series, Natsuno fell in love with this cool and handsome guy.

Upon entering the loading screen, Natsuno saw that the enemy top laner was Pichu, and he grinned wickedly: "You dare to come to the top lane? Useless thing."

...

"Useless thing, can't even get a contact number? What about Pokémon audio/video messages?"

"The other party has set a mutual follow setting to allow more messages to be sent. Currently, I can only send one message, and the other party does not reply. There is no response even after following."

"Forget it, you keep looking, try every possible way to find it."

While Xia Ye and his friends were playing games together, tech companies all over the world were simultaneously struggling to get Xia Ye's contact information.

Especially that video of Natsuno making empty promises, it was so tempting! How can people not go crazy when someone tells you something you never dared to imagine is actually possible?

But not everyone is happy.

At a five-star hotel in Carlos, a group of well-dressed, affluent middle-aged people are gathered together discussing something.

They all run a chain of breeding farms, specializing in breeding and selling eggs of Pokémon with perfect genetic traits.

"If it's really possible to change Pokémon's moves through gene editing or similar means, then what's the point of our breeding center? We'll all have to close down and go bankrupt!"

"Can you find Natsuno's contact information? We can cooperate with him to expand the existing Pokémon move pool and then do high-end customization. Only we have multi-movement Pokémon."

"I couldn't get in touch with him. I contacted Yukinari Ohki, but he refused outright. This Natsuno is one of Ohki's researchers, and I'm afraid he's just as old-fashioned as Ohki."

"Ha, this Yukinari Oak is something else too. He doesn't know how to make money, and he even pushed the League to establish some Pokémon Rights Law, causing our past income to shrink drastically. If this Natsuno is the same..."

"Then there's nothing we can do, but let's try our best. Making wild guesses before we even see the person is useless. But if they don't cooperate, I'd rather destroy this theory."

"Just like last time."

Chapter 9 Undercurrents

Just as everyone in the room was agreeing that the plan should be destroyed if it was not approved, an outlier stood up and waved goodbye.

"You all have large and prosperous families, while my family is small and my business is small. I dare not keep you company. I will take my leave now."

The middle-aged man named Liuli Junhao cupped his hands in greeting and then walked away.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the others tried to dissuade him: "President Liuli, everyone knows that your family's breeding farms are all over the world, with a distribution in every region. If they are affected, your family will suffer the greatest loss."

"You actually don't support it?"

Liuli Junhao turned around and looked at the group of people in front of him. They were all dressed in fine clothes, but every penny they had was stained with dirty blood.

“Our family’s breeding farm started with my grandfather’s generation, from a dilapidated cowshed. Step by step, generation after generation, we have gone through countless hardships to reach the scale we are today.”

“Every penny we earn is honest and upright. It was before, it is now, and it will be even more so in the future. Whether it’s gene editing or gene clipping, our family will find its place. You don’t need to worry about it.”

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Farewell."

Ignoring the unpleasant looks on the faces of others, Liuli Junhao strode away.

After returning to his hotel, he took out his phone and called his son.

"Fuyan, you've seen your college roommate's academic presentation, haven't you?"

"I've seen it, it's really Kenjiro, the one who's like Oddish grass, Kenjiro Natsuno!"

"I see you're doing quite well at the branch office. Starting tomorrow, you'll take over the business for the entire Kanto region."

"Oh, really?"

"Okay, arrange the handover in the next few days. Then fly with me to Yuhong City. We'll personally visit Xia Ye to ask about the potential future development of the breeding center. Take that strange egg with you."

"Okay, Dad."

...

Thunder never misses its mark

Electric field and rain at the same time

The person opposite called him "Dad".

"The most thunderous!"

With a delighted heart, Natsuno controlled his Electivire, equipped with special attack gear, and wreaked havoc on the enemy's high ground, securing a quadra kill and an easy victory. Natsuno then began reciting a senryu.

I have to say, whoever knew how to make the game into a MOBA is a genius!

The Pokémon world should be playing MOBA games; turn-based games aren't fun enough.

The key point is that since all known Pokémon moves are included, it also helps Pokémon practice using their moves in real life!

In games, laning requires attention to the timing of skill releases and the order of combos, while real-life combat demands an even higher level of proficiency in moves. Playing games can actually have a similar effect on real-life situations.

Anyway, Xiao Cai's skill mastery level was honed through playing games.

After all, her sketching skills in real life are only for one use, and once they're gone, they're gone. But when she played the game, she became familiar with a large number of skills, and she became very familiar with the trajectory, power, and prediction of various moves.

After securing a decisive victory in the game, Natsuno began arguing with Cattleya, each claiming that they had made the greatest contribution.

MOBA games are like this: if you win, it's all my fault; if you lose, it's all their fault.

Coming to her senses, Natsuno suddenly felt something wet on her left shoulder and turned to look.

He was so engrossed in playing the game that he didn't even notice that Miss Champion's hair was wet.

He took the phone from Zhu Lan's hand and met her puzzled look: "Aren't you going to play anymore?"

Xia Ye shook his head and shouted into the voice channel, "I'll play later, I need to blow-dry my hair."

Xia Ye reached out and pulled Zhu Lan up, leading her to the dressing table. He then took out a hairdryer and began to blow-dry Miss Champion's hair.

While moving quickly, her tone carried a hint of reproach: "Why didn't you dry your hair after washing it?"

Miss Champion's eyes crinkled at the corners, like a cunning little fox who had stolen some food: "Well, I was in such a hurry to find Ono that I forgot."

Staring at the bodyguard's serious expression reflected in the mirror, Miss Champion's tone suddenly carried a hint of resentment: "Ono, when was the last time you styled my hair?"

Xia Ye's hands moved swiftly, showing no sign of unfamiliarity: "Ah, two years, I guess? After all, I haven't been back to Shenhe Town during my holidays for the past two years."

Like Catherine and Gadriya, they grew up alone most of the time because their elders were busy with other things. Although they had housekeepers, they couldn't play together.

Natsuno met them when he was 8 years old, and the three of them have been inseparable ever since.

The house that Natsuno's parents left him was next to the house of Takeran, and the two were neighbors.

When she was a child, Takeran told Natsuno that the maids in her house were too rough and hurt her when they were blow-drying her hair, so she asked Natsuno to blow-dry her hair for her, a practice that continued until she was 18.

That year, Natsuno was admitted to the Biology Department of Yuhong University, and Cynthia also challenged the Sinnoh League and became the champion. During university breaks, Natsuno would blow-dry Cynthia's hair.

Until two years ago, after graduating from university, Natsuno became a trainee researcher under Professor Oak through an interview, and has been growing peas ever since, not even returning to Sinnoh during holidays.

"Well, I thought I'd never see Ono again since he hasn't returned to Sinnoh for so long."

After drying the ends of her hair, Xia Ye packed up her things and replied irritably, "That Sinnoh champion who often skips work used to video call me every night, you know? Where can I find him now?"

"You're so fierce, Ono."

Natsuno didn't reply; he wanted to continue playing the game!

Xia Ye led Zhu Lan to the sofa to wait. He placed two cushions on the left, then had Zhu Lan sit down, put his phone back in her hand, and sat back down in the middle.

Miss Champion took the phone, smiling and nudging closer to Xia Ye.

Natsuno picked up the tablet and clicked start.

Gadriya's provocation, though late, arrived: "You stinky Natsuno, you love to show off. Why do you need to keep blowing those two hairs on your head for so long? In a few years, you'll probably have no hair left."

Xia Ye never indulged her: "No need for you to worry, Miss. Once I become a PhD, I'll focus on slacking off and taking care of my health every day. You'll definitely be the first one to go bald."

"Heh, even if it's a matter for the next life, stop dreaming, Natsuno."

During the selection process, Zhu Lan shifted slightly, seemingly feeling uncomfortable. She kicked off her slippers and placed both feet on Xia Ye's lap, revealing her crystal-clear toes.

Natsuno turned to look at the smiling Miss Champion: What does that mean?

The blonde beauty didn't answer, but leaned back on the sofa and gently twitched her eyebrows: "Ono is amazing, she even chose all random."

Natsuno then noticed that his character selection screen had changed to completely random.

[System notification: The player "Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off" selected all random options. The Pokémon he randomly selected is: Krookodile, with the ability Technician, and the moves Sing, Shout, Taunt, and X-Scissors.]

Hey bro? Want to see what I got randomly?

Natsuno rubbed his eyes, looked at it again, and couldn't believe it.

Xiao Cai, who was standing next to her, covered her mouth and chuckled.

Xia Ye immediately understood what was going on when he saw the little guy's expression and actions.

But seeing the little guy's adorable appearance, Natsuno's mood calmed down.

I feel like getting angry, but I can't seem to get angry. What's wrong with me?

"Alright, I'll build tank and play support this game. Hopefully, the random skill selection won't cause any problems."
