Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

Having clarified all their questions and understood the method, the four began collecting and propagating cells.

It took an hour to finally finish collecting the samples.

Back in the lab, the computer showed that the sequencing progress was less than 5%, which was quite slow.

They also assisted Anthony in preserving and culturing the extracted proliferative cells.

After a flurry of activity, as it approached mealtime, Daigo arranged for someone to bring him food, which he ate in his rest room.

The two eggs were kept under close watch, never leaving their eyes.

After dinner, Xia Ye glanced at the progress bar on the computer again; it was 10%. He figured he wouldn't be able to wait for the test to finish.

"Dr. Anthony, Bob, I'll leave this to you. I'll head back to Evergreen first."

The two were unaware of Natsuno's undercover plan and wanted to persuade him to stay and continue his research.

Seeing that Xia Ye was determined and having received a promise that he would come to check on her every few days, she gave up.

The research was put aside for the time being, and Natsuno and Daigo returned to the latter's office to discuss other matters.

Daigo's secretary delivered another patent authorization letter, which Natsuno found incredibly confusing.

"Pokémon Genetic Maker Type 1, what is that? And what does it have to do with me?"

Daigo laughed, his voice carrying a hint of unnatural excitement, which Natsuno didn't notice.

"It's the equipment that breeds Pokémon genes into eggs; they helped you get the registration approved urgently."

"These devices all originated from your ideas, so naturally they're your patents. Sign the contract."

Natsuno shook his head, took the pen, signed his name, and handed it to Daigo.

Daigo took it, glanced at it, breathed a sigh of relief, and handed it to his secretary.

"Then, Devon Group will ramp up its production lines and distribute gene culture instruments all over the world."

Xia Ye asked in confusion, "Is this device a good business opportunity? Will many people need it?"

Daigo was surprised by Natsuno's reaction.

"You can't even see the value of this machine?"

"In fact, the whole world will need it."

The whole world needs it?

Natsuno was stunned.

Daigo didn't explain, but instead asked Natsuno a question first.

“Natsuno, although you embarked on the path of a researcher because of Pokémon, I have a question for you.”

"If your first Pokémon didn't have a genetic defect, would you have become a Pokémon Trainer?"

Xia Ye glanced at Xiao Cai, a hint of hesitation in his eyes: "Probably not, I really can't support it."

Nurturing requires resources and money; Natsuno's parents passed away early, leaving him without support.

Daigo pressed on, "Then using a Bug Pokémon is fine too, right?"

"The story of the cocoonless system is still widely circulated today, and the insect-type system also has great development opportunities."

"The normal path is to capture a Caterpie and then start the challenge, constantly earning resources to grow stronger."

"Not everyone can get their starter Pokémon from the regional professor, since breeding takes time."

"But there are just too many new trainers every year, and the starter Pokémon can't keep up with the numbers. It all depends on luck."

Daigo's secretary turned the computer screen toward Natsuno, who saw a statistical report on it.

"In fact, the league has counted that no less than half of the trainers in each region start their adventures with Bug-type Pokémon."

Daigo sighed and continued.

"When I challenged the league back then, I didn't understand anything at all. Only recently, when I look back, have I gradually come to understand some things."

"In the first half, I will encounter and defeat a large number of Bug-type starter trainers."

"In the latter half, you can hardly see any bug-type starters anymore; they're all people who came from the Doctor's group."

Similarly, only a very small number of people can breed Pokémon that mature late in life; these people's Pokémon grow extremely fast.

Natsuno nodded. He remembered that his textbook stated that Pokémon that mature late in life have a relatively lower chance of reproducing.

Daigo looked around his spacious office.

"Not everyone can give Power Cubes to Pokémon like candy, or rather, people like me are extremely rare."

Xia Ye laughed: The number one noble young master in Pokémon, strong and handsome, how many people like that are there in real life?

However, every gamer counts, since playing against others can actually earn you money.

“Recently, I have reduced the time I spend mining and have begun to gradually take charge of the group’s affairs.”

"I cannot let my hobbies override my responsibilities. I am both a regional champion and a family heir."

"It was my family that gave me the confidence to raise Pokémon at will, but most people don't."

Daigo suddenly looked at Natsuno with excited eyes, pointing to the patent license.

Natsuno was puzzled and waited for what would happen next.

"Natsuno, how long does it take to cultivate an egg using genes? Less than half an hour."

“In the past, it would take several months to lay one egg, but now dozens can be laid every day.”

"If the machines are deployed all over the world, then everyone will be able to obtain the starter Pokémon for their region."

"The problem of a shortage of starter Pokémon will be solved in our hands!"

Natsuno's heart began to race as Daigo's voice grew louder.

But he quickly calmed down: "But just dealing with the starter Pokémon won't help, will it?"

"Trains from average backgrounds are still unable to support the development of a team."

"It's just that they've gone from bug-catching boys to bug-catching boys with the starter Pokémon, there's no difference."

"However, machines are indeed important, as they can quickly help rare Pokémon reproduce and restore the wild ecosystem."

Natsuno's eyes lit up: "It's faster than the breeding center, and it can raise Pokémon from eggs. The first thing a Pokémon sees when it opens its eyes is its trainer."

"Wouldn't it annihilate the current breeding farm model by establishing bonds much faster than breeding farms?"

"If this gets out, won't those people at that shady breeding farm jump to the sky? Okay, release the news now!"

Seeing that Natsuno's train of thought suddenly veered in a direction that Daigo couldn't understand, Daigo was both amused and exasperated.

But he waved to his secretary: "Inform the group to promote the gene culture device with all their might, and remember to highlight Xia Ye's contribution."

After the secretary nodded, she began the operation. Natsuno snapped out of her daze and looked at Daigo.

“It seems there’s nothing else going on here. Arrange ten more sequencing machines for me, and I’ll take them back to Changqing.”

Daigo nodded, instructed his secretary to make the arrangements, and then got up to escort Natsuno downstairs.

Are you coming again tomorrow?

Natsuno opened the car door and got into Apollo's car: "Tomorrow? You should come."

...

"If I'd known I'd be beaten up, I shouldn't have come! Which bastard sent me?"

A chubby boy, with a mournful face, took out a Poké Ball and put away his Rattata, which had been knocked unconscious.

This is the Peak Battle Arena near Evergreen Dojo. There are usually a lot of spectators around the arena, but at this moment it is completely silent.

Everyone looked at the fat boy's opponent, the monster, with awe.

A seemingly ordinary boy with a Pikachu perched on his shoulder and wearing a red hat.

His Charizard defeated the fat boy's Rattata in just two moves within 10 seconds, with swift and decisive action.

Even the referee didn't react in time, only snapping out of his daze when he saw the chubby boy put away the Lada.

"Trainer Red and his Charmeleon emerged victorious in this 1v1 battle!"

"To date, Crimson has achieved a 99-game winning streak at the same level, breaking the gym record again!"

"Is there any other trainer who already has two badges who wants to challenge him?"

The entire arena was completely silent. The audience members looked at each other in bewilderment, and even those who clearly appeared to be trainers dared not speak.

Just then, the leaders of the two groups led by Hu Zi came out, all smiles.

"I'm in charge. Anyone who dares to fight him will receive a generous gift from the Peak Battle Arena!"

"The winner will receive a level 40 training pack, plus an item-based momentum belt!"

As the person in charge finished speaking, everyone present began to breathe heavily, and even Chi Hong raised an eyebrow.

The training package is enough to raise a Pokémon from hatching to level 40, and it is quite valuable.

Props, due to their various special effects, are relatively difficult to manufacture and are considered rare items.

The audience members had already started whispering among themselves, clearly eager to make a move.

Upon seeing this, the person in charge smiled and decided to increase the investment again.

With Red's permission, he posted the battle online these past two days, attracting a large number of fans.

The Kanto people, who have always preferred open-world battles and disliked going to battle arenas, were all drawn in by Crimson, causing the battle arenas to be overcrowded.

As a result, the battle arena gained traffic and various investments, turning a loss into a profit.

Just as the person in charge was about to speak, a green figure stepped into the battlefield and stood opposite the crimson figure.

His voice was directly synchronized with the voice of the person in charge of the battle arena.

"I'll be your opponent, Crimson!"

"In addition, the loser will also receive a level 30 training gift pack!"
