Chapter 11 The Young Master's Visit
"If we arrest Sakaki directly, what will happen to his subordinates? What if the four executives go into hiding and cause chaos in various cities with their henchmen?"
"We'd better uproot it completely from the very beginning and eradicate it completely."
After finishing his story, Natsuno told Wataru and Oki about the purpose of Sakaki's meeting with him, including the Dream Fossil, explaining everything to them clearly.
Professor Oak's expression changed as he listened: "You mean, Giovanni wants to use your technology to create the ultimate weapon of war using the genes of the Dream?"
Natsuno nodded: "Ah, extracting genes from fossils and even reviving Pokémon represented by fossils is one of my future research directions. I'll tell you all about it when I have time."
At this point, Xia Ye sighed inwardly: I was thinking that after the theory was published, a large number of people would flock to study it, and I could just be a theoretical guide and slack off every day to produce papers. Why did the system give me another task?
"As for the ultimate weapon, that's just my guess, but I believe the other side definitely has that idea. After all, aren't all ambitious people like that, destroying the world without saying a word?"
"At the very least, he's trying to find a way to quickly improve Pokémon's strength through genetic research, so he's definitely not up to any good."
A-Wu nodded, agreeing with Natsuno's words: "So what's your plan?"
"I'm going to go undercover and join his plan, figuring out where his organization is located, stealing his fossils, and figuring out if he has any other plans that I can sabotage."
"When the time is right, we'll cooperate with the league to take down the entire Rockets team in one fell swoop, so we won't have any worries about the future."
After finishing speaking, Xia Ye nodded, inwardly praising his flawless plan.
Professor Oak blurted out, "No! It's too dangerous! You are the hope for the entire field of genetic research; we can't take that risk!"
"Don't be impatient, Doctor. Sakaki needs my technical or theoretical guidance, but he won't hurt me. Besides, it seems he plans to invite me to stay in Evergreen for a while through official channels first."
"He might not include me in the final plan; there might be layers of testing involved. He wouldn't risk exposing himself and harming me, and harming me would only take him further away from his goal."
"After all, I am now the founder of the theory, and I am the most likely to help him achieve his plan. At least until the plan is realized, he would never harm me."
Seeing that Natsuno's analysis was so logical, Wataru was already tempted, but still looked at Professor Oak.
Professor Oak sighed, "Perhaps you're right. You might not be able to gain their trust, and the plan might not go smoothly. Go ahead, but make sure you're safe."
Natsuno then looked at Watari: "So, how should we contact them? If we really get there, we'll definitely be under full surveillance; even messages sent online could be intercepted."
"If the other party really has a secret base or something, then it would definitely be more heavily guarded, and it wouldn't be surprising if they listened to your conversations, even when you go to the toilet or talk in your sleep."
While Natsuno's words were a bit exaggerated, upon closer examination, they were quite plausible. After all, it would be impossible for someone to keep so many things a secret from the League without keeping their mouth shut.
A-Du was also stumped for a moment, unable to think of any useful means of communication.
"Alright, let's set the plan for now. I'll go back to the Alliance headquarters to find a suitable means of communication and give it to you before you go to Evergreen City."
After exchanging contact information with Natsuno, Watari left, leaving only the words, "Vacation over."
Natsuno secretly saved the other person's contact as "Gyarados is also a dragon," and then took Aya back to her room to sleep.
Time flies when you can't slack off, and before you know it, it's the second night.
Natsuno pulled a stack of business cards from his pocket. They were all handed to him by some company representative on his way to the restaurant at noon. Upon closer inspection, they were all from some kind of xxx chain breeding company. Remembering what Professor Oak had said, Natsuno threw the stack into the trash can.
After the afternoon presentation, a large group of self-proclaimed CEOs of XX Technology Company waited outside the auditorium, handing out a bunch of business cards. Xia Ye's impression of this group improved considerably; the CEOs themselves were much more courteous than the company representatives at noon.
But looking at the tech groups from various regions, Natsuno was at a loss. Just then, he noticed someone knocking on the door and got up.
I came in first.
Rich, powerful and handsome
elegant young nobleman
Ah, it's Daigo!
Daigo bowed slightly, his manners impeccable: "Hello, Natsuno Researcher. I apologize for the intrusion. I am Daigo Zuvoki, and I am here on behalf of the Devon Corporation."
Natsuno quickly invited the other person in: "Ah, Champion Daigo, it's an honor to meet you, please come in."
Natsuno went to make tea, and Daigo placed the beautifully packaged box he had brought on the table, his gaze drawn to the unique patterns on Aya's clothes.
"The colors and the shape remind me of the painting 'Sunflower Monster' by the famous artist Tutu Dog, which is in my collection and is full of emotion."
Natsuno poured Daigo a cup of tea: "Ah, it's a pity that Aya's tail can only secrete pure white pigment. That's why I started my research career."
"Good tea. Is it new creativity born from connections? The world is made better by connections."
"This is a small gift I prepared for you. Please accept it."
Steven opened the box, inside which was a Key Stone and a colorful Mega Stone that Natsuno couldn't tell which Pokémon it belonged to.
As expected of a young nobleman, so wealthy and generous! Giving away mega stones so casually, he's outrageously extravagant.
Mega stones are now priced in the seven figures, with some rare specimens being so expensive they are unavailable.
"I appreciate your kind intentions. Please take the gift back; let's consider this a gesture of friendship. There's an old saying in Donghuang: 'A gentleman does not take what others cherish.' This must be one of your treasured possessions, Da Wu, so I cannot accept it."
Seeing that Natsuno's explanation was comprehensive, Daigo stopped insisting, closed the box, and began to discuss serious matters.
"Genetic theory will usher in a new era, and Devon Group hopes to have a foothold in this new era as well. We hope to cooperate with you to create a better future. You can propose any conditions, and we will consider them."
Natsuno stared into the other person's eyes: "Even if it's a waste of money? The equipment needed to observe genes is not something that can be done with just a few high-powered electron microscopes; it's several orders of magnitude less."
Daigo looked relaxed: "Any research and development requires investment, and the Devon Group has no shortage of funds. That's not a condition for discussion. Is there anything else that needs to be discussed?"
What if you encounter someone truly wealthy? Agreed!
Besides, Natsuno guessed that Professor Oak must have acted as a go-between for the other party's arrival today. Considering the professor's words, what else was there to say but to cooperate?
Natsuno's thoughts were immersed in the system store in his mind.
Over the past few days, his influence points have been soaring. Seeing that the target number had been reached, Natsuno told Daigo that he had to excuse himself and returned to his bedroom.
Choosing to spend 18 points to redeem items resulted in an extra USB flash drive.
Back in the living room, I handed the USB drive to Daigo.
"This is the key to a new era, and I'm handing it over to you, Daigo."
