Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off

Chapter 28: Subduing the Different Colored Mononuclear Cell Ball

Xia Ye walked to the front door and looked at the uniforms of the deliverymen and Rocket Delivery, which were the same as those of the deliverymen. The large letter R on their chests highlighted their unusual temperament.

After signing to confirm receipt, Xia Ye shook his head: "The Rockets' businesses are that big? They're involved in express delivery, food delivery, and air taxis. They must be making a lot of money."

Back in my dorm, I opened the package. It contained an unopened deluxe ball with some stickers attached.

Qinglu also joined Xiaocai in teasing Xiaoyuan, and when they saw Xiaye return, they chatted about interesting things related to cell spheres.

"Natsuno-kun, how many people in the ancient United States actually drank the liquid inside the cell spheres?"

Natsuno stared at the light blue liquid in the small circle and shook his head: "I bet there's a lot. People who pursue immortality won't care about anything."

The single oocyte sphere and its evolutionary form are named for their resemblance to the embryonic development process. They were first discovered and recorded in the ancient United Kingdom region.

Moreover, the name "cell sphere" is a modern one; it wasn't called that in ancient times. It was called "egg of life," and there's a story behind that.¹

According to the history of the United States, for a long time in the past, nobles believed that consuming the liquid of the cell spheres could bring wisdom and longevity, and thus named it the "Egg of Life," which people flocked to.

Although modern science has long confirmed that the fluid inside cell spheres is highly toxic to other organisms, ancient people were unaware of this and thus hunted cell spheres extensively.

This once led to the near extinction of wild cell spheres on the land of the United States.

Only a small number of them migrated to other regions and were able to reproduce.

In summary, according to the League's major survey, Cellball and its evolved forms are the Pokémon with the fewest existing numbers (excluding Legendary Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon).

Only a small number are kept in major laboratories, and they are extremely rare in the wild.

The reason why these little guys are kept in the lab has a slightly mystical element to it.

Online, a story circulates among trainee researchers: There was once an unlucky trainee researcher who couldn't reproduce a certain experiment.

One time, I touched a single oocyte sphere used for research in the lab and then did an experiment. The experiment, which had always failed, succeeded that time.

The researcher then told his friends about it. Some of his friends tried it to increase the success rate, while others tried it and found it completely useless, thinking that he was lying.

But the idea that "touching a handful of cell pellets before doing experiments will make it easier to succeed" has been deeply ingrained in the minds of the trainee researchers.

Laboratory mysticism has also allowed the cell spheres to expand and multiply. According to records, although the number of cell spheres is still small, it is increasing year by year. Occasionally, when some research institutes have too many, they will be given to new researchers.

However, as far as Natsuno knows, there are no cultured cell spheres in Ooki's laboratory.

"The elusive prospect of immortality always draws people in, but unfortunately it leads to innocent Pokémon suffering this calamity."

Natsuno held the brand-new deluxe ball in his hand and exclaimed in admiration.

At that moment, I suddenly felt a slight impact on my stomach, which was pressed against the edge of the table.

Natsuno looked down and saw that it was Madoka greeting him in a unique way, which Natsuno called the "bumping greeting".

After all, this mutant is the only one who can't use superpowers to float slightly, so it has to rely on rolling to do everything, which is why this form of rolling to greet others came about.

Then Xiaoyuan rolled towards Xiaocai. Xiaocai even deliberately left the table and ran further away, and Xiaoyuan jumped off the table, which was nearly a meter high.

Xia Ye hurriedly reached out to catch it. Although the outer membrane was very hard, jumping from this height would probably hurt a lot.

But the little circle paused briefly before hitting the bottom, and then gently landed.

"The little guy actually knew how to use his superpowers to prop himself up at the last second before landing smoothly? Is he that smart?"

Natsuno thought to himself: "His superpowers are weak, but he can use them wisely. What a good kid."

Then Xiao Cai walked towards the kitchen, and when Xiao Yuan saw her, she rolled over towards Xiao Cai.

Wherever Xiao Cai goes, Xiao Yuan rolls in the same direction, following closely behind Xiao Cai.

Natsuno asked curiously, "When did you two become so close? Sure enough, our Xiaocai is loved by everyone, flowers bloom when she sees her, cars get flat tires when they see her, and even Pokémon come running when they see her."

Then he squatted down, looked into Xiao Cai's eyes, and said, "Xiao Cai, how about we let this guy follow us from now on? Just like you?"

Xiao Cai turned her head to look at the blue ball that was rolling gently against her calf, nodded slightly, and said with delight, "Okay~"

Natsuno's expression turned solemn; this was the most sacred moment. "Madoka, if you want to follow us from now on, go into this ball, understand?"

Pressing the button on the deluxe ball caused a beam of red light to shine out, enveloping and sucking the small ball inside. The ball didn't move; it simply "beeped" once, perfectly capturing the small ball.

Although Pokémon cannot speak, they can understand human language without any difficulty, thus forming bonds!

Heterochromatic monocytosome, get☆daze!

Picking up the deluxe ball containing the small round object, Natsuno took the sticker from the bottom of the delivery box and stuck two blue spherical stickers on the small round object to distinguish it.

Then Xiao Yuan was released, and the latter chased after Xiao Cai, running around happily.

League law prohibits the forced capture of Pokémon, although forcibly capturing them is actually pointless.

In reality, Poké Balls don't have a strong binding effect on Pokémon. It's not difficult for them to break free, and there's no such thing as a Poké Ball that can capture a Pokémon 100% of the time.

The traditional way is to build a bond with Pokémon by spending time together, with the Poké Ball merely serving as a witness or a means of refuge.

Catching Pokémon in the wild is more like a replica of the Pokémon social ecosystem. In the wild, the strong rule. If you can defeat your opponent, the wild Pokémon will acknowledge you as the leader and be willing to follow you.

This is a comprehensive analysis based on Pokémon psychology and ecology, derived from Dr. Oak's thesis.

Moreover, even after catching a wild Pokémon, you still need to build a deeper bond with it; Pokémon are friends and family.

If the Pokémon is given to a new trainer by the research institute, it is one that has lived with humans since birth and is the kind that is closest to humans, making it easier for new trainers to quickly establish a bond.

The Poké Ball is designed to be transparent from the inside out, in order to protect certain socially awkward Pokémon from being overly scrutinized due to its complete transparency.

Of course, if you like, you can also pay to have a Poké Ball with a transparent upper part custom-made.

Natsuno remembers that the Poké Balls in the special manga were all transparent on the top half.

While the same balls look exactly alike, people decorate each ball differently to make them easier to distinguish, which is also a fashion trend.

Furthermore, many people choose decorations like those from the Grand Contest that have dazzling special effects when thrown.

Comparing the special effects of their missed shots online is also a popular activity among netizens.

Picking up his phone, Natsuno began to plan what to do after taming the monster.

Open the Poké Ball app, place your phone close to the chip sensor area on the back of the Poké Ball, and it will be successfully recognized.

Modify the Poké Ball settings: "Pokémon can observe the outside from the inside" and "Can freely enter and exit," then click OK.

Natsuno nodded. All his Pokémon used Luxury Balls, and their settings were all the same!

As Xia Ye tidied up the things on the table, he turned to look at Qing Lü.

"Little Green, are you starting your trip tomorrow or the day after?"
