The truth comes to light, head to the Kanto Alliance headquarters.

Although they couldn't believe it, their meticulous nature as researchers led them to continue with a comprehensive test of the dustproof properties.

Next up is a level 27 Jumpluff, which uses the shuttlecock on its head to fly around and uses Cotton Spore and the genetic move Rage Powder.

Then it's Paras' turn at level 22, with his amazing sleep skill, Mushroom Spores!

"Poison powder, paralysis powder, sleep powder, anger powder, cotton spores, mushroom spores—none of them are effective."

"The last powder we have left is Magic Powder¹, which will change the opponent's attribute to Psychic. Natsuno, go find a Psyduck that's been soaked in water. I'll borrow a Boomrivin from Galar."

Natsuno found a Psyduck swimming on its back in the river and hired it with an Energy Cube.

I couldn't help but think of Xiaoxia's "Duck God" from the cartoon. It's amazing that it can't swim, but it has superpowers. Maybe it's a genetic mutation.

Shaking off the boring thoughts, Natsuno returned to the testing ground, where Professor Oak also ran over carrying a Luxury Ball.

Cell spheres inherently possess superpower attributes, so their attributes must be altered by immersion in water before the magic powder can be tested.

Originally just a light blue circle, it was first soaked in water, turning its body a deep blue, and then it was hit by a magic powder.

The detector screen displays the current attribute: Water!

"Even the magic powder didn't work! I can't believe it!"

Professor Oak's eyes lit up as he stared at Madoka, as if he had come to the Diamond Smash Village with a bewitching gaze.

Xia Ye's mind quickly flashed through the several genetic mutations in Xiao Yuan's body, and his thoughts were suddenly opened up.

She gestured for Bumriewon to use the magic powder again, while Natsuno leaned closer to carefully observe the changes inside Madoka's body.

Bumriewyn, who looked like a witch, precisely controlled her tentacle-shaped hair, covering only a one-centimeter area around Xiao Yuan with magic powder.

With the keen eyesight that every Pokémon player possesses, Natsuno observed very carefully: the magic powder, glowing with energy, seeped directly into Madoka's body and then disappeared!

Natsuno then gestured for Professor Oak to come and watch, and the two of them witnessed this wondrous process.

Then they repeated the other powder moves, both wearing dust masks made of the same material as the dust goggles, staring intently at Xiao Yuan's face.

All I could see was that the various powders remained on the hard outer surface of the small round membrane, without having any effect.

I looked at the changes in the sandstorm and snow scene again: the energy seeped into the small circle, but it didn't take effect, but it didn't disappear either.

With all the experiments completed, Xia Ye breathed a sigh of relief and gave his conclusions.

"Madoka's special ability is undoubtedly magical defense. As for dust protection, the principle is as follows."

"Genetic mutations in the outer membrane prevent almost all substances from passing through, but energy can penetrate."

"Energy blocks, nutrient solutions, and the like are all high-energy substances that cannot be absorbed, but they can be absorbed when converted into attribute energy."

"The powder-based moves mentioned earlier all have a material basis; they use energy to activate the powder on the Pokémon in a specific form to produce special effects."

"However, because the outer membrane of the small circle isolates these powders, the energy can penetrate directly into it. But without pollen or other powders in the small circle's body as a catalyst, there is only the pure energy effect, so it is ineffective."

"The snow and sand produced by weather effects are mostly in the form of energy and will seep in, but because Madoka's true characteristic is magical defense, it will not deduct stamina."

"Finally, the magic powder also seeped in, but because of another mutation in Madoka, it can absorb superpower energy, so it was ineffective."

"Without that mutation that absorbs superpowers, the magic powder is actually effective."

"That's it, the mystery is solved."

"It's not a gene mutation corresponding to the trait, but rather mutations in two other genes that caused the effect corresponding to another trait, which is also a miracle."

As Xia Ye packed up his things, he sighed. Xiao Cai, who had somehow taken out a tablet and turned it into a recorder, also finished filming and helped with the packing.

"Since it's related to genes, why don't you write a paper while you're at it? Anyway, you've already made the video recordings and have a ready-made chain of evidence. You might as well publish the paper."

After treating Xiaoyuan, Xia Ye nodded, "Okay, I have time anyway."

Publishing papers while slacking off is a wonderful thing!

Professor Oak wiped his face, which was covered with marks from various moves, and then said, "Don't rush to write. Let's go to the Kanto League headquarters today. Lance happens to be free at headquarters."

Natsuno nodded, but when he turned his head, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Green taking a walk with Squirtle in the distance.

After tidying everything up, Xia Ye put away Xiao Cai.

Since the deluxe ball I just ordered online hasn't arrived yet, I'm thinking of using it to build a bond with Xiaoyuan: staring at each other in a game.

Natsuno rode on Dragonite, holding the energy conversion device, and had a staring contest with the little circle fixed on the device. Time flew by.

Half an hour later, at the top landing area of ​​the Quartz Alliance Building, Natsuno dismounted from the back of the Dragonite.

I jotted down the inspiration for my "Pokémon World Flying Ride Experience Record" for the Dragonite series.

Dragonite has a wide back that can accommodate two to three people, providing excellent visibility. Its flexible body makes it comfortable to ride, and it is gentle with people. It will actively open its wind shield. It is extremely fast, but it is also very stable when flying. Overall rating: five stars!

Following Professor Oak to the entrance to the top floor, we passed through strict security measures.

First, they went through a scanning machine, then through a X-ray vision device, and finally, a guard checked all their belongings.

You can only enter after passing through three checkpoints and taking the elevator to other floors.

A minor incident occurred during the security check.

A middle-aged man refused to cooperate with the inspection and made a lot of nonsense: "Do you know who I am? I don't have to be inspected like this anywhere else, even more strictly than prisoners in jail."

The two guards remained expressionless as they worked together to keep the middle-aged man out of the door: "I'm sorry, it doesn't matter who you are. Even if it were Mr. A-du, he would cooperate quietly with the inspection here. If you don't want to, please leave."

The elevator stopped on the 19th floor, and people were coming and going in the corridor, moving between the various rooms.

Arriving at the room at the end of the corridor, they knocked on the door. A-Du's calm voice rang out: "Please come in."

A-Wu was engrossed in dealing with a large pile of documents on the table when he saw Natsuno and the other person come in, and he stood up to greet them.

"Professor Oak, Natsuno, you're here. Ah, I remember now, I made arrangements as soon as I got back that day, but I was so busy that I forgot to follow up."

A-Du pressed the speed dial button on the phone and said to the other end, "Come over here."

Then a young man in a shirt came in. Adu pointed to the huge pile of documents on the table without any politeness.

"Go and distribute some to the other three Heavenly Kings. I have confidential business to attend to."

The young man nodded, picked up the stack of documents, and left.

Natsuno looked at A-Du with shining eyes: Yes, yes, that's it! It's perfectly justifiable to delegate tasks to others while you slack off elsewhere. That's the ideal life!

Following A-Du, they arrived at a locked room. A-Du took out a card to unlock it and enter.

Inside was a special elevator; Adu could only press the floor button after his iris was scanned.

"This is the Kanto Alliance Information Security Department, a secret department unknown to the outside world."

"What you need is right here."
