Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

"Brother, are you in B6 or some other group? I came along to collect target information."

Once the other person got closer and saw Natsuno's face clearly, their hostility vanished, and they smiled.

"Reporting to Mr. Natsuno, I'm from Group B8. I didn't expect you to be out collecting information."

Xia Ye smiled and patted the guy on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, coming to feed the mosquitoes so late at night."

"This is my assistant. We cannot afford to fail this time, and I hope to gather as much useful information as possible."

"By the way, I left in a hurry and I don't know what the situation is now. Could you tell me?"

Natsuno took some tree fruits out of his pocket and handed them to the other person: "Have some tree fruits to replenish your energy."

The servant was somewhat flattered by this, and after accepting it, he explained the situation to the two of them while eating.

After spending a few minutes figuring out the setup, Natsuno inquired about other things.

"I heard someone ran away with a target. Have you seen what that person looks like? What are their distinguishing features?"

Lou nodded: "It looks like a boy wearing a red hat, with a Pikachu."

"That guy, I don't know whether to call it lucky or unlucky, said that Pikachu has a lot of electricity."

Upon hearing this, Natsuno had a strong premonition: This person is almost certainly Akane!

Putting aside the fact that the protagonist's Pikachu is vastly different from the Pikachu on the roadside.

It's safe to say that Dream would never just follow some random kid or shorts-wearing insect catcher on the street.

But he soon ran into a problem: Team Rocket basically covered the entire forest, so where would Red be?

Just as he was fretting, he suddenly remembered that his phone had been hacked and was now super encrypted.

Why not just contact Xiao Chi directly? Why overthink it?

Natsuno looked at the guy in front of him and patted him on the shoulder again.

"Thank you, bro. We won't interfere with your work anymore."

Which direction should we go to find Lance?

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Lou pointed in a direction to Xia Ye and the other person: "Go straight north and you'll reach the edge."

Xia Ye took out some more tree fruits and stuffed them into the other man's hand: "Brother, please don't report our situation to your superiors yet."

"Lance told us to go back first, but I really want to see the target with my own eyes, okay?"

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to be grateful," so Na Lou accepted the large handful of tree fruit and nodded in agreement.

Waving goodbye, Xiaohuang continued its journey north.

The two walked forward for several minutes until they could no longer see the flashlight beam when they turned around.

Natsuno took out his phone and called Akane directly.

Half a minute later, the other party answered directly: "Brother Xia Ye, why are you calling me?"

Natsuno cut to the chase: "Aka, you're free to communicate now, right?"

"Are you with Mew? Are you surrounded by Team Rocket?"

Crimson remained silent, quite surprised that Natsuno knew about her current situation.

Then shout for help.

"Natsuno-nii, come save me!"

Chapter 107 The First Dream Operation (Part 5)

Natsuno never imagined that he would one day be regarded as a lifesaver.

His brain raced: "Red, don't you have a Charizard? Why don't you fly away?"

Red lowered his voice: "Team Rocket has a whole bunch of Zubats; they've been monitoring us from all sides in the sky for a long time."

Natsuno understood immediately; that made sense, the Rockets weren't stupid.

"Let's share our location and check each other's location information!"

The two of them used their phones to figure out their respective locations.

Natsuno informed Crimson that Team Rocket had blocked the entire edge of the forest leading to Pyrrhic.

The encirclement below the Rockets is also advancing, and sooner or later it will trap the Red Team inside.

Crimson realized his predicament, and various thoughts surfaced in his mind.

Natsuno's mind worked even faster: "How about this, Akane, let's use a feint attack."

"You head northeast, I'll team up with Xiaohuang to attack the Team Rocket in the southwest corner."

"They'll think that the person with the dream hasn't entered the encirclement, but is actually in the southwest region."

Crimson hesitated: "But, will you be able to escape like this? Won't it expose your identities?"

Natsuno let Akane run away without worry.

"Don't worry, after we make a fuss, we'll go all the way north to find Lance."

Red realized he didn't have any good ideas.

He was good at fighting, but figuring out an escape plan was a real headache for him.

They could only nod and accept Natsuno's proposal.

After hanging up the communication, Crimson adjusted its direction according to the map and headed west.

However, he did not head directly northeast, but instead headed due south first.

Red looked at his Team Rocket outfit and decided to add a little something extra to his plan.

On this side, Natsuno looked at Yellow: "Yellow, Team Rocket knows that Red has a Pikachu on him."

"We'll need your shallow hills for camouflage, let's go."

"It's a pity there are no red hats, otherwise it would be even more perfect. Let's turn off the lights and move on."

The two discussed the details as they walked back.

For example, you might want the other person to see the outline of Pikachu, but not to see it clearly.

And to conserve strength for the other side, so that they can call for support and mobilize personnel in a timely manner.

Soon, a light appeared ahead, and the two adjusted their positions according to the established plan.

2 minute later.

"Zi!"

A flash of light appeared in the dark forest for two seconds, then quickly disappeared.

Xiao Huang put away the shallow hill and headed southwest, making sure the other party could clearly see the location where he disappeared.

After walking a dozen meters, they circled around again and came back to meet up with Xia Ye.

The two hid in the distance behind the unlucky guy, observing his movements.

Two minutes later, the unlucky guy struggled to sit up, pulled out his communicator, and spoke in a shrill voice.

"Report, Captain! Pikachu has been spotted in the southwestern edge of the area! It's heading south!"

The unlucky guy quickly got up and chased after the area where Xiao Huang had disappeared.

As the other's flashlight beams receded into the distance, Natsuno and his companion got up and headed north.

Natsuno took out his phone and sent Akane a "Everything's going well" emoji.

Red is currently hiding in a large tree, keeping its eyes fixed on Team Rocket searching below.

He changed back into his old red hat boy outfit.

Lying beside him were Mosquito Coil and Pikachu, who had been released long ago.

“Pikachu, just jump on his head and head south, then circle around and come back to meet him.”

"Quick Swim, take this opportunity to hypnotize him from behind, but remember not to make it too strong!"

Two minutes later, Crimson suddenly appeared in front of Nalou before he fell asleep.

They ran south again, caught up with the pickup truck, circled around, and returned to the tree behind the dog.

Two minutes later, Nalou gradually woke up, suddenly stopped, remembered what he had seen, and felt somewhat heartbroken.

He pulled out his communicator again: "Report, Captain! I've spotted Pikachu!"

"And that boy in the red hat, there's no mistake!"

After completing the report, he quickly ran south.

Red then changed back into his Team Rocket outfit and headed northwest.

At the edge of the forest, Lance held a communicator in his hand, listening to the second squad leader's report, his brow furrowed in thought.

"First, a Pikachu and a boy were spotted on the southwestern edge."

"Pikachu and the red-hatted boy have been spotted again in the central south area."

"Which one is it? Or are they both? The interval between the two is about 10 minutes, and the other party is extremely fast?"

There are practically no trainers who linger in the forest after dark to feed on mosquitoes.

Although sleeping under the open sky with your Pokémon by your side is a heartwarming and adventurous experience.

But mosquitoes don't care about this or that. Wouldn't it be better to go back to the Pokémon Center and sleep on a soft bed at night?

This is also why the Rockets dared to make such a big show of their operation; there's basically no one in the forest after dark.

After thinking for a long time without any clue, Lance sighed.

"Do not move the northern blockade line. No matter how much trouble the enemy makes, they will still escape from the north."

"The squad in the south can pursue them, but they should do so in pairs, preferably forming an encirclement."

"The opponent is quite strong, so try not to be alone!"

With Lance's order, the squad in the south began to change formation and search in two directions.
