Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off

Chapter 107 First Dream Operation

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 while now."

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."

Chi Hong 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 aren't any red hats, otherwise it would be 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.

"Sizzle!"

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 henchmen, observing their movements.

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

"Report, Captain! Pikachu spotted in the southwestern edge 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 was currently hiding in a large tree, his eyes fixed on the Team Rocket minions 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, 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 the henchman before he fell asleep.

They ran south again, caught up with Pikachu, circled back to the tree behind the henchmen.

Two minutes later, the henchman gradually woke up, suddenly stopped, remembered what he had seen, and was somewhat heartbroken.

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

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

After the henchman finished reporting, 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 incidents is about 10 minutes, and the other party was extremely fast?"

There are practically no trainers who linger in the forest feeding mosquitoes after dark.

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 work in pairs and ideally form an encirclement."

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

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

Natsuno Koki continued heading north, occasionally checking their positions with Akane.

Natsuno found it strange that Crimson had been lingering in the middle area for so long.

Akane told Natsuno that she had also made arrangements in the middle area to muddy the waters.

Upon learning that Red had also acquired a Team Rocket outfit, Natsuno suddenly had a new plan in mind.

"Little Red, since you didn't head northeast, let's meet up directly!"

"You have a Rockets jersey, that makes things easier!"

Although Akane was puzzled, she still followed Natsuno's instructions and headed in a north-northwest direction.

Xia Ye led Xiao Huang in a direction slightly northeast.

As time went on, the two sides gradually moved closer together.

Meanwhile, the Rockets searched for nearly half an hour but still found nothing.

They all vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and the squad leaders began to report information.

Based on the preceding information, Lance concluded: "The two boys who appeared in different locations are the same person!"

"The enemy simply launched an attack in the southwest and then immediately moved to the due south to launch another attack."

"The purpose is to create a diversion; they are likely heading northwest right now."

Lance made a judgment, but did not change the blockade arrangement in the north.

"Do not move any of the blockades in the north; maintain full surveillance."

"The squad in the south is moving northeast to form an encirclement; they should still avoid acting alone."

After giving the order, Lance pulled out a Pidgeot: "I'm going to the northeast region too, to block them out."

As a result, Lance's location also changed from the center of due north to the northwest corner area.

On the other side, in the area slightly northwest of due north, Natsuno Koyo and Akane successfully reunited.

Natsuno searched around Akane, only to find a Pikachu perched on Akane's shoulder.

"Where's the Dream? Where's it hidden?"

Just as Akane was about to speak, Natsuno noticed that Pikachu on his shoulder suddenly covered its mouth and chuckled.

Natsuno instantly understood and reached out to rub the other person's little face.

"This little guy's transformation is truly flawless."

They were less than 100 meters from the edge of the forest and could see some scattered lights.

Natsuno noticed the lights in front of him getting closer and quickly spoke up.

"Mew, don't turn into Pikachu, turn into a Zubat!"

"Little Red, you guys hide in the woods over there and follow us. We'll see what happens!"
