Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 111 Dam Engineering
Everyone was exhausted and slept until noon.

In the end, it was the middle-parted hair that banged on the rice bowl that woke everyone up.

"Ah~ you don't seem to lack sleep." Natsume yawned at the dining table.

"Hi hi—" The woman with the middle parting covered her mouth and chuckled.

Natsume glared at the other person, and the man with the middle parting immediately covered his head, his whole body bristling.

Spirit Jeep crash!
"Mr. Natsume, where are we going next?" Jiaozi clung tightly to Natsume, separating him from Joey.

"It's rare to see this. Sister Jiaozi is even more anxious than I am." Xiaozhi said with a look of surprise while eating lunch.

"Go to Fuchsia City. It's the closest, and there's also the Fuchsia Gym nearby."

Xiao Gang took out the map, looked at it, and made a suggestion.

"Yay, let's get going!" After finishing their meal, Jiaozi eagerly grabbed Natsume's hand and headed away from the Pokémon Center.

Xiaoxia carried her backpack the whole way, looking very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxia?" Xiaozhi asked, puzzled.

"Hey, don't you guys feel like something's following us?" Xiaoxia said, her body trembling.

"Following our Rockets?" Xiao Gang turned around, looked around, but didn't see anything.

"No, it's just a feeling, a feeling... anyway, my sixth sense is usually very accurate," Xiaoxia said, walking at the front.

"To be honest, since coming to Black Cloud City, it feels like nothing I do is going smoothly," Xiao Gang continued.
"The sky is pitch black, and Miss Joey is acting strangely."

"It's okay, who cares what's behind us? Let's run and leave them far behind!"

As Ash spoke, he took the lead and charged forward with Pikachu.

Everyone sped up as well.

Natsume's eyes gleamed with blue light as he glanced slightly behind him.

Xiaoxia's feeling was right; something was indeed following them, and it wasn't the Rockets.

Primeape, Hypnos, and Zapdos are three Pokémon.

What exactly are they trying to do?
Apart from the Zen-like Hypnotic Baku, Natsume could sense a very strange emotion emanating from the other two Pokémon.

Natsume remained silent, tacitly allowing the three Pokémon to trail behind at a distance, following his group.

After a long while, a vast forest appeared before everyone's eyes.

At the same time, a mountain road has been extended from the original asphalt road.

"Okay, let's go this way!" Ash, who took the lead, chose the mountain path without hesitation.

"Why do we have to take the mountain road?" Xiaoxia pointed to the asphalt road beside them, feeling that Xiaozhi was just making things difficult for himself.

"Haha, because there must be a lot of Pokémon in the mountains that I've never seen before!"

“Pikachu!” Pikachu nodded.

After saying that, the two set off on the mountain path, covered their heads and rushed forward, disappearing from sight in a short while.

"Let me see," Xiao Gang said, glancing at the map. "If we want to save time, the mountain path will be faster."
"This mountain road leads to the Fuchsia Gym, while this asphalt road leads to Fuchsia City."

"What's the difference?" Xiaoxia asked, puzzled.

"Of course there's a difference. The Fuchsia Gym is in the mountains. If we go to Fuchsia City first, we'll have to turn back."

As Natsume spoke, he followed closely behind and embarked on the mountain path.

"Xiaoxia, we just came from Black Cloud City, don't you want to breathe in some fresh air?" Jiaozi smiled and followed behind Xia Mu.

"That makes sense!"

Xiaoxia took a deep breath as she walked.

"It looks like there's construction going on here too?" Xiao Gang's voice came from the side.

Following Xiao Gang's gaze, everyone saw a huge wall made of reinforced concrete in the distant valley.

“That’s the mouth of a valley. Maybe they’re going to build a dam?” Natsume glanced at it and made a judgment.

"Boom!" The ground began to tremble violently.

Behind them, the roar of countless cars filled the air.

Looking back, I saw one heavy truck after another coming from the asphalt road, turning and all of them driving onto the mountain road.

"Ah! Get out of the way!" The mountain road was crowded, barely wide enough for a heavy truck to pass.

A ghostly blue light flashed in Natsume's eyes, and the group floated into the air, thus avoiding the tremor. Many heavy trucks drove by one after another, and the shaking of the earth finally stopped two minutes later.

"Cough cough cough what's going on!" Cars passed by, raising clouds of dust. Xiaoxia covered her mouth and nose, coughing uncontrollably.

"This must be the construction team for that dam project, right?" Xiao Gang guessed.

"Wait a minute, Ash seems to still be ahead." Misty was taken aback.

"Don't worry, it's hard to say who we'll end up with," Natsume's voice rang out.

“That’s true. He may be a bit slow, but he’s not that stupid.” Xia nodded.

There are trees everywhere here, and with Xiaozhi's strength, climbing any one of them would be a piece of cake.

"Boom!"

The sound of a truck overturning rang out, followed by a series of similar overturning sounds.

At the other end of the mountain road, it sounded like thunder, causing countless leaves to tremble and fall in a rustling sound.

"Ash!" everyone exclaimed and rushed forward.

"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough!"

Amidst the dust, the group found Ash.

He stood bewildered amidst a group of overturned heavy trucks, his eyes as innocent as Pikachu perched on his shoulder.

"Pikachu?" Pikachu tilted his head, not knowing what had happened.

"Xiao Zhi, you overturned these cars?" Xiao Xia exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't slander me!" Ash was furious. He quickly stepped on the overturned truck and jumped a few times to reach the crowd.

"What happened here?" Natsume glanced at Satoshi, who was covered in dust but had no injuries whatsoever.

"I don't know, these cars just suddenly flipped over by themselves."

Xiao Zhi gestured wildly, vividly describing the scene.

He was walking in the middle of the road when he heard a sound behind him, and he tried to avoid it.

As a result, a car was suddenly thrown over his shoulder and fell in front of him.

One after another, the cars behind them rolled over on the spot.
"That's how it ends."

Xiao Zhi pointed to the long line of overturned heavy trucks in front of him.

"By the way, Natsume-nii, is this what you call a staged accident?"

"I hope I don't have to pay money back!" Xiao Zhi covered his head.

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone stage a car accident for insurance fraud." Natsume's lips twitched slightly.

"Cough cough, damn gopher!"

The cab of a heavy truck that had overturned was pushed open.

Everyone looked.

A slightly overweight driver, wearing a sweat towel, reddish-brown overalls, and a yellow hard hat, rolled down like a roasted sweet potato.

"Driver, are you alright?" The crowd came forward.

"Cough cough cough, could you please go to the supply station ahead and call the person in charge so he can bring some people to help me?"

The driver seemed to have experienced this many times before, and appeared quite calm.

"A supply depot?" Natsume raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, we are transport drivers for the dam project. There are always groundhogs causing trouble along the way, so the person in charge set up some supply stations along the route."

"It's only a ten-minute walk ahead, thank you for your help."

As he spoke, the fat driver leaned against his car, took out a bottle of blue medicine, and began to apply it to his legs.

Soon after, bruises of all sizes appeared.

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Xiao Zhi asked curiously.

"Shh, this is a work injury, remember to be my witnesses."
