Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off

Chapter 81: 99-Game Winning Streak in the Battle Arena Leads to a Showdown with a Rival

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 'no cocoon' is still widely circulated today, and the Bug-type has great potential for development."

"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 comes down to luck."

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

"In fact, the league has counted that at least 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."

"By the second 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've reduced the time I spend mining and have started 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 scarce number 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 simply dealing with the starter Pokémon won't help, will it?"

Trainers from average backgrounds simply can't afford to raise a team.

"It's just that they've gone from bug-catching boys to bug-catching boys with 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 this allow for the establishment of bonds much faster than breeding farms, completely annihilating the current breeding farm model?"

"If this gets out, won't those heartless people at that 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-editing device with all their might, and remember to highlight Natsuno's contribution."

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

"It looks like there's nothing much 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 clean 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 this level, breaking the gym record once again!"

"Are there any other trainers who already have two badges who want 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 the bearded man came out, all smiles.

"I'm in charge. Whoever dares to fight him next will receive a generous prize from the Peak Battle Arena!"

The winner will receive a Level 40 Training Pack, plus a Power 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.

Because props have various special effects, they 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 video 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 pack!"

The person in charge had barely finished speaking when he noticed Qinglu: "What did you say?"

Green looked up, pulled out a Poké Ball, and pointed it at Red: "I said, I'll be Red's opponent!"

At this moment, most of the audience, including the person in charge, saw Qinglu's face clearly and were once again in uproar.

"It's you? Azure, the trainer who achieved a 90-win streak at the Battle Gym!"

Green stared intently at the crimson face: "I just finished a 99-game winning streak over there, and no one dared to challenge me, so I came over."

The people inside the venue erupted in uproar again upon hearing Qinglu's words.

Red casually adjusted his hat and put his Charmeleon back into the Poké Ball in his hand.

Their gazes met, sparking an invisible flame.

"Let's see who can achieve the 100th consecutive victory."
