Elf, a genius scientist who traveled from one piece

Several days later.

“Hold still, little kitty, just a bit more…”

Inside a seaside cottage, Su Sheng was drawing blood from Giovanni's Persian.

Normally pampered by Giovanni, Persian almost wanted to use 'Cut' to cleave this bastard to death.

As Team Rocket's beloved, it usually struts around the base, afraid to break if held too tightly, afraid to melt if kept in the mouth.

Yet, in just these few days, this kid has almost drained it dry!

“Don't be angry, don't be angry, today should be the last time, barring accidents.”

Su Sheng soothed.

“Have you made any progress, Sheng?”

Giovanni asked, sipping his coffee and glancing sideways.

“It still needs some time, but the research has indeed encountered a bottleneck.”

Su Sheng placed Persian's blood into a test tube, diluted it, and prepared for the next round of research, saying at the same time:

“What can be researched with blood is ultimately just research, and the purpose of research is for practice, but…”

Saying this, Su Sheng glanced at the tourists coming and going on the beach, and the various Pokémon accompanying them.

Hearing the word “practice,” Giovanni knew what Su Sheng was hesitating about.

“Aren't there plenty in the suburbs? Should I have someone catch them for you? Or just buy them from a pet store, though that would cost more, but they're less aggressive.”

Using actual specimens for experiments!

Giovanni, though he didn't understand it himself, was very familiar with this.

The bunch of scientists he kept at the base did just that.

Among them, the most outstanding were two scientists named Blaine and Fuji.

He wondered which was more outstanding, Su Sheng or those two?

“Or… you could also buy them from specific places.”

Giovanni added.

The place he was talking about was the black market!

They sold many things that couldn't be bought on the market, such as the delicious meat of Farfetch'd, crafts made from Cubone skulls that were popular with the wealthy, Slowpoke tails, and so on!

Naturally, this also included various Pokémon.

However, compared to pet stores, it was basically impossible to find excellent Pokémon on the black market.

Those were mostly half-dead from torture.

But the prices were often very low, suitable for use as lab rats.

“Pii-pii~”

Just then, a Pidgey flew to the window of the cottage and knocked.

Su Sheng went up and opened the window. The Pidgey rummaged through the backpack it carried, took out a small package and handed it over, along with a pen.

Then, it took out a receipt and pointed to the signature area.

The meaning was clear—please sign.

Yes, this was something Su Sheng bought online.

Seeing Su Sheng's momentary silence, Giovanni couldn't help but smile.

“In the end, he's just a ten-year-old child, his heart softened?”

After signing, Su Sheng stroked the Pidgey's fluffy head and scratched its chin.

The delivery bird happily made "Pii-pii" sounds, its eyes narrowed into slits with comfort.

“I'm not a good person, but at least I'm still a person.”

Su Sheng calmly walked back to the lab, opened the package, and poured it out.

They were three Evolution stones currently discovered by the Pokémon academic community—

Fire Stone, Water Stone, Thunder Stone!

“That's really surprising, you're telling me you've been doing scientific research for a long time, haven't you ever experimented on Rattata or something before this?”

Well, in Giovanni's worldview, things like Rattata were like “lab rats.”

“I usually use scum for experiments.”

Mentioning this topic, Su Sheng couldn't help but recall the happy times of his previous life.

The “lab rats” in the pirate world were simply inexhaustible.

Those great pirates with bounties of over 100 million were simply his toys.

And Su Sheng's favorite was the Celestial Dragons.

When he saw those pigs who were usually high and mighty lying in the lab, seeing his own 'Okin-kin' cut off and placed on the plate next to them.

That expression… Saikou ni haitetta yatsu da!!!

Alas, it was a pity that he couldn't dissect Momonosuke.

The original plan was to use Ivankov's version of Seraphim to turn him into a woman, then throw him into Impel Down and film it for broadcast worldwide.

Hopefully, there will be another chance in the future.

Moreover, he also wanted to study whether the Kozuki family had some kind of succubus constitution.

Clearly, each and every one of them was useless, but they could bewitch the people of Wano like human aphrodisiacs.

“Scum, huh…”

Giovanni blinked.

Why did he feel like this kid was cursing him?

“Attention, viewers, we interrupt this program for a news bulletin.”

Just then, a female host holding a script suddenly appeared on the TV screen.

“Recently, Alliance A-class wanted criminal, Pokémon Hunter Anders, was sighted near New Bark Town by a Trainer. Citizens of the Johto region, please be vigilant. If you spot this person, please immediately call the police…”

Next to the female host, a wanted poster appeared.

It was a man around 40 years old, with a face full of bristly whiskers.

Giovanni's pupils moved slightly, but his tone remained as calm as ever.

“Anders, an Alliance B-class wanted criminal, often lurks in the outskirts of small towns, waiting for those fledgling Trainers who have just received their starter Pokémon to leave their hometowns, and preys on them as soon as they embark on their adventure, stealing the Pokémon they just obtained…”

“Ho, this guy is quite the businessman.”

Su Sheng couldn't help but laugh.

Honestly, looking at this guy's photo, he looked sneaky and rat-like.

But he unexpectedly had brains.

If he chose large cities like Goldenrod City or Cianwood City, even if he targeted children, he might run into a brick wall.

After all, what if the child being robbed was the nephew of an Elite Four member, or the daughter of a wealthy person, wouldn't he be dead for sure?

On the contrary, it was much better to target small places like New Bark Town and Azalea Town.

There probably weren't any second-generation officials or wealthy people in this kind of place, right?

Hmm, suddenly remembering, this guy's history of getting rich was actually a bit like his own.

When he first transmigrated, wasn't he also bullying children and robbing snacks as food?

Uh… okay, he felt like he wasn't that much of a monster.

After all, how could the value of snacks be compared to the value of Pokémon?

“This guy has been active in Johto for many years, and they only discovered his tracks now. The Alliance has been developing in recent years, but its efficiency doesn't seem to have improved much.”

Giovanni sneered.

He felt like he had forgotten that he was still a Gym Leader under the Alliance on the surface.

“Heh, isn't this lab rat coming?”

Su Sheng suddenly laughed.

Giovanni was stunned, “Oh~ you mean…”

“What's wrong, Uncle? Is there a problem?”

Su Sheng asked back.

Only a hesitation lasting less than half a second flashed in Giovanni's eyes, before he smiled again.

“Of course not, but I'm a little worried about your safety. After all, dealing with this kind of vicious criminal is completely different from the battles between Trainers that stop at the point.”
