Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off

Chapter 89 Xiao Huang’s Wonderful Adventure

Fortunately, Xiao Huang was used to wrapping her long hair with a headscarf, and her chest was rather flat, so the henchmen all thought she was a boy.

Xiao Huang was startled by the squad leader's loud shout and looked up at the group of people.

The uniforms on their chests all have the letter R, and they specifically walked towards this vehicle passageway; they're definitely from Team Rocket!

Xiao Huang tried to escape, but the squad leader had already given a signal, and the dozen or so enemy soldiers dispersed to form an encirclement.

Sharp-eyed Xiao Huang noticed that there were several other members behind the group, working together to lift a net.

All you can see is a large yellow blob, emitting the mournful cries of a young Pokémon, which evokes pity in most people.

Yellow was initially terrified, but upon seeing the captured Pokémon, his fear turned to anger.

His eyebrows practically stood on end, and he pointed at the squad leader, blurting out the answer without a second thought.

"You're blind! I'm Boss Sakaki's student, a newly promoted high-ranking officer in the organization!"

This one sentence immediately stunned everyone who had surrounded them, who were less than a meter away.

The henchmen were filled with suspicion and looked at the squad leader who was frowning.

The other person's words were respectful, but also somewhat suspicious.

"I am the squad leader of Squad A1. I apologize, but could you please provide proof of identity?"

In dire circumstances, human potential is limitless.

Some information flashed through Xiao Huang's mind quickly, such as the number of compartments inside.

For example, Apollo, Giovanni's "younger brother," used to occasionally appear at the dojo.

"I told them I was a newly promoted cadre, and my identification documents weren't ready yet."

Seeing the suspicious looks on everyone's faces, Xiao Huang took a few steps to the side, making room for the entrance.

"However, an ordinary person could not possibly find such a hidden cave entrance."

"You can easily search the area to see if there are any signs that anyone else has been here."

"Anyway, I came in the carriage. You can send someone in to count if there's an extra carriage."

Xiao Huang spoke with great confidence, after all, that's how she came to be.

Seeing Xiao Huang's confidence, the squad leader gave a signal with his eyes, and two henchmen on either side went into the cave.

Only three or four people remained to keep an eye on Xiao Huang, while the others dispersed to search for any signs of footsteps nearby.

Soon, the henchmen who had been checking inside came out: "Captain, there really is an extra vehicle compartment inside! The wheels are still hot; it just arrived!"

The few who had scattered returned to report: "Captain, there are definitely no other signs of movement!"

Xiao Huang crossed his arms, looking impatient: "Have you confirmed it yet?"

"Your efficiency is truly appalling! No wonder Apollo told me to come and urge you on; you really are inefficient!"

The squad leader's expression shifted from suspicion to obsequiousness: "Your criticism is correct, sir. We will correct our mistakes."

Seeing that even their captain acted this way, the henchmen flattered him even more.

Xiao Huang walked towards the large net: "How's it going? Have you caught all the targets?"

The squad leader followed half a step behind her, leading the way: "They've all been caught, please take a look."

As they drew closer, a wave of panic and unease emanated from the net's location.

Yellow's Evergreen Power is focused on healing and sensing Pokémon's emotions, and at this moment it passively receives that emotion.

Suppressing her other emotions, Xiao Huang continued to maintain her facade.

Upon closer inspection, they were a group of Pichus, all howling and conveying their fear to the surroundings.

Little Yellow circled around the net and noticed a different color within the large mass of yellow.

The squad leader explained to Xiao Huang, "We found our brother who went missing at the branch base a few days ago."

"Thanks to his Zubat automatically launching a ball to fly over and call for help, otherwise we really wouldn't have found him."

"That guy said he was defeated by a boy in a red hat and was tied to a tree to be fed to mosquitoes."

"We found a tree hole there, where the group of Pichus were hiding, and we also had an unexpected bonus."

The squad leader pointed to the grayish-white color that had caught Xiao Huang's attention and shook it a few times through the net.

Soon the grayish-white figure revealed its true form: a light-colored Pikachu.

Little Yellow saw Shallow Hill trying its best to shield Pichu with its body, its cries filled with pleading.

The squad leader pointed at Shallow Hill and laughed smugly: "This guy was an experimental subject from before the branch base."

"She always voluntarily shared her electricity with her companions who had been drained of their energy by us."

"Over time, it has become like this, and it can no longer generate electricity."

"That day I made a bet with the men below on how long she could survive in the wild after being released."

The squad leader pointed triumphantly at the group of henchmen behind him and continued speaking.

"They all say I won't live long, but I say I will. Every day I live, they'll lose an extra hundred dollars to me."

"Then I deliberately opened her cage and let her go."

"I was still upset last month because I lost a lot of money to these guys."

"I didn't expect we'd actually catch him today. He even looks a bit fatter; he's clearly doing quite well."

"These guys are all going to lose ten thousand yuan to me now, hahaha, I never thought I could make use of trash."

Upon hearing the squad leader's words, all the henchmen behind him let out wails and began to curse loudly.

They wouldn't dare to scold the squad leader, but they could insult a useless Pikachu without repeating a single word.

Some even tried to run up and kick the shallow hill, but the squad leader stopped them.

"A bet's a bet, so don't kick my God of Wealth anymore, or I'll get angry!"

The squad leader pretended to squat down and tried to reach out and touch the shallow hill.

But the latter dodged backward, and the squad leader, seeing this, stood up again, revealing a sinister smile.

"However, once we get back, as long as you give me the betting money, you can do whatever you want with this guy!"

"He's just a useless Pikachu anyway; we've dealt with plenty of guys like that at the base!"

Everyone burst into laughter and began talking about the Pokémon that had been dealt with at the base before.

At this moment, Xiao Huang was extremely angry, but her nose suddenly stung and her eyes quickly welled up with tears.

To avoid giving herself away, she covered her eyes with her palms and squinted hard.

"What are you guys doing catching a useless Pokémon?!"

"You're all useless enough, yet you still do these pointless things!"

To suppress her sobs, she deliberately raised her voice, startling everyone.

At this moment, Xiao Huang's action of covering his eyes was seen by them as "unable to bear to look", and then they heard what Xiao Huang said next.

The henchmen all looked panicked, and the squad leader rubbed his hands together, his face once again turning obsequious, trying to plead for his life.

"Sir, you see, we arrested her to ensure the secrecy of our operation and to leave no survivors."

The squad leader glanced behind him, leaned close to Xiao Huang's ear, and continued speaking in a low voice.

"I am willing to donate all of this bet money to the cadres, to contribute to the great cause of the organization!"

Xiao Huang rubbed his eyes frantically, trying to wipe away any tears that might come out.

The squad leader thought that the senior officer was thinking and dared not speak, waiting for further instructions.

After a while, making sure she had wiped away her tears, Xiao Huang put her hand down.

He then turned his back to the squad leader so they could see his eyes.

Two minutes later, Xiao Huang waved his hand behind him.

"Go, go, let that guy out so I can see him."
