Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

"After all, it was early morning, and the experiment was using the genes from this amber, and the egg was still incubating."

"We've compared all known Pokémon eggs, and none of the patterns match."

"This means it must be an ancient Pokémon that has gone extinct!"

"Congratulations, Natsuno! The ancient Pokémon revival plan has taken a big step forward!"

At this moment, the system in Natsuno's mind popped up again.

[Ding, mission progress updated]

[A key branch of fossil revival technology, amber gene revival cultivation, has been achieved and will continue to reward points.]

Natsuno couldn't care less about the system popping up to make its presence known at this moment.

My heart felt like a spice jar had been overturned, with all sorts of flavors surging together, and my heart was racing.

He pinched his arm, somewhat incredulous: "It really worked?"

All three of them showed congratulatory expressions and applauded Natsuno: "That's right, it's true."

Natsuno's eyes suddenly lit up: "Daigo, did you take any photos? If not, hurry up and add them! It's very important!"

Daigo's answer surprised him: "Yes, but I'm still missing a photo of us together."

At this moment, Anthony took out another incubation device containing the same type of egg from a corner of the laboratory.

Daigo had already asked someone to bring a camera.

The group took a group photo with smiling faces around the two eggs, which unsurprisingly made it into textbooks in the future.

It was only then that Xia Ye remembered to ask Anthony some key questions.

"Didn't the gene fragments inside naturally degrade and break down?"

"Yes, so a lot of gene fragments were entered into the database, which took a long time."

Natsuno nodded: That's right. Even if amber solidifies, it's only the solidification of the most superficial structure.

It is normal for gene fragments, which are ultra-microscopic structures, to break down.

Then Natsuno was confused: "So you guys pieced together the genes in one night? That's amazing?"

Anthony shook his head repeatedly: "That's impossible. Even if the computer has enough computing power, there's a lack of data samples."

"How can you possibly rebuild a completed building in just one night after it has been smashed?"

Anthony gave a sly smile: "So I tried to use a shortcut."

Xia Ye's eyes widened: "Is this some kind of trick?"

Anthony stroked his beard: "It's really just a guess. I guess I got lucky."

"By injecting those gene fragments into enucleated Pokémon breeding cells, the genes were actually activated and began to function."

"However, it requires Pokémon cells that have the same type as the Pokémon corresponding to this gene."

"We tried it and found that this gene reacts with the reproductive cells of Water-type Pokémon."

"But I didn't try the other attributes, I only tried fire, grass and water, and I figured it out on the third try."

Xia Ye nodded, feeling a sense of familiarity with the operation: how come it's somewhat similar to the cloning technology on Earth?

Anthony continued, pulling up several photos of fossils on his computer.

"Based on their attributes, a total of 5 extinct Pokémon fossils can be found in Kanto."

"Apart from the pterosaur, the other four species are presumed to have water attributes based on environmental and other factors."

"So in the end, we still have to wait until it hatches to determine what kind of Pokémon it is."

Anthony patted Xia Ye on the shoulder, who was thinking and suddenly realized what was going on.

"Since this can be done with genes extracted from amber, has it been tried with genes from fossils?"

Chapter 80: How Pokémon Reproduce

Upon hearing Xia Ye's words, Anthony first shook his head to indicate that he did not.

Then his eyes widened suddenly: "You mean there's already a way to extract genes from fossils?"

Xia Ye scratched his head: "Huh? Didn't Uncle Xia tell you?"

At this time, Chapman was already asking the laboratory staff to find the necessary reagents and materials.

Upon hearing Xia Ye's words, Xia Bo's expression became somewhat awkward.

"Ah, I saw them checking the eggs when I first arrived."

"I was so busy analyzing that I forgot to tell them, but it's the same if you tell them now."

After thinking for a moment, Natsuno reintroduced Blaine to Daigo and Anthony.

It also emphasized Chaper's special reagent.

At this point, the staff had already brought the necessary materials, which Bob prepared on the spot and demonstrated.

Daigo and his companion were astonished to see the bones that had been completely removed from the fossil.

After processing the bone fragments obtained from the fossils, Xia Ye put them into a sequencer and started sequencing using computer control.

Anthony spoke up: "This will take some time. Let's do some preliminary preparations first."

Seeing him take out several small boxes from the cabinet, one for each person, Xia Ye took them despite his confusion.

The group went to the next room, which was decorated in a cozy style, and a group of Pokémon were playing happily inside.

Upon seeing the door open, the Pokémon swarmed around, chattering excitedly.

Natsuno asked in confusion, "What are you trying to do, Dr. Anthony?"

The other person's expression was serious: "Obtain Pokémon breeding cells from these little guys."

Xia Ye's eyes widened: "W-how do I get it?"

The high school biology knowledge that Lan Xing died suddenly attacked Natsuno: the hand grip method, the electric stimulation method, or the prop method?

Can I say this? Can it be broadcast?

Just as Natsuno was lost in thought, Anthony patted him on the shoulder a few times, bringing him back to his senses.

Anthony put down the box, squatted down, and gestured for Natsuno to watch and learn attentively.

With smiles on their faces, Anthony and the others started playing with the little ones.

Upon closer inspection, all eighteen were single-type Pokémon, such as Pidgey and Caterpie.

In addition, there aren't many pure Steel-type Pokémon; most Steel-type Pokémon are dual-type.

Natsuno saw a Galarian Meowth, made of pure steel, with very stiff fur to the touch.

After playing for a while, Anthony opened the box, which contained various tools.

Anthony pulled out a few level 30 energy cubes and smiled as he communicated with Popo in front of him.

"Bobo, do you want to eat this energy cube? How about I trade it for your reproductive cells?"

Natsuno's jaw dropped: What?! A direct exchange?! How could this be?

Then, something happened that shocked Natsuno once again.

Bobo tilted its head and looked at the energy cubes in Anthony's left palm, thinking seriously for a moment.

It went straight up, grabbed one, and ate it.

Then his body trembled, and he began to gather energy.

Seeing this, Anthony quickly took a sealed petri dish from the box, opened it, and placed it in front of Bobo.

"Just put it here, it'll be enough in a moment, it won't consume too much energy."

Popovich seemed to understand Anthony's words, but he didn't respond with a shout; he was still focusing his energy.

A minute later, a pale energy floated out from behind Bobo and fell into the petri dish.

Anthony quickly processed and stored the remaining energy cubes, placing them in front of Bobo.

He patted Bobo's head a few more times to express his gratitude.

Natsuno, who had watched the whole thing, was still speechless: "Pokémon are actually made by combining reproductive cells in vitro?"

Anthony nodded: "Although textbooks won't explain it clearly, only saying that it's a combination of energy, it's not wrong."

"It wasn't explained in full, but the two Pokémon from the same egg group, male and female, use energy to guide their reproductive cells to the outside of their bodies."

"Two Pokémon use energy to envelop their reproductive cells, and combine to form an embryo through the guidance of energy in the outside world."

"With further energy catalysis, the embryo will turn into an egg within minutes."

"Previously, people did not have a sufficient understanding of cells, thinking that they were simply a combination of energy and did not pay attention to cell reproduction."

"I only recently discovered this. I was only halfway through writing my thesis when Daigo invited me over."

Natsuno nodded, having learned something new.

Then strange thoughts popped into my head: Why is the Egg Group named the Humanoid Group like that?

I can't not talk about it, I can't even think about it, thinking about it is a sin, doing the right thing is the most important thing.

Natsuno shook his head repeatedly, trying to shake off the strange thoughts in his mind.

Suddenly remembering that the energy had just appeared from behind Bobo, Natsuno humbly asked for clarification again.

"I noticed that the energy is appearing in the Pokémon's excretory channels, right?"

Natsuno already knew that Pokémon need to excrete waste.

In the fifth generation of the game on Earth, the description of the red roly-poly toy in the black and white version is mentioned in the encyclopedia entry for the white version.

The excrement of the fiery red roly-poly toy is hot, and in the past, people from Unova would put it in their clothes to keep warm.

In episode 45 of the original anime, Gary dug up a fossilized Pokémon feces.

Anthony nodded in response to Natsuno's question: "Yes, it did come out of the excretory tract."

Natsuno nodded again; regardless of whether it was useful or not, his knowledge had increased once more.
