Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 115 The Pokémon That Don't Want to Fight (Bonus Chapter for 400 Monthly Tickets)

"Woooooo~"

Countless honking sounds echoed in the parking lot.

"Car thief, where are you going?"

Teng Yichong was at the forefront, followed by a large group of strong and powerful workers, all holding hoes and shovels, who surrounded the entire parking lot.

"Mr. Natsume, Satoshi and Shigeru, what are you doing here?"

They didn't see the car thief, but Teng Yi did see three familiar faces.

"Xiao Mao's sports car has been stolen. Let's check the situation." Natsume said without batting an eye.

Shigeru turned around and squinted at Natsume.

"Is that so? My car was stolen from my parking lot. I'm so sorry."

A hint of shame appeared on Fujiichi's face.

"Ah, it's alright, Mr. Fujiichi, I have the location, I'll find it soon. I'll be going now." Shigeru said, pushing Natsume away.

"Goodbye, Mr. Fujiichi." Ash waved goodbye.

"Okay, remember to come to the bottom of the dam at 10 o'clock today to participate in the mole-repelling rally!"

From afar, Fujiichi's voice could be heard.

"Fortunately, this time we didn't cause any major trouble."

As they walked further away, Xiao Mao trembled uncontrollably.

He couldn't imagine how they would stop so many heavy trucks if they stood up.

"Fortunately, the fog there is already quite light, only enough for large trucks to turn on their lights."

Xiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, touching his chest as his heart pounded.

"Even if those heavy trucks stand up, they might not attack humans. Your supercar is quite stable."

Natsume's voice carried a hint of regret.

Something resembling a divine artifact appeared on Rotom, but Natsume couldn't detect its specific effects, just like with the initial middle-part hairstyle.

He also wondered if he could glean some insights from the sheer number of motorcycle riders.

Upon arriving at the parking lot.

All that could be heard was the sound of horns, but no Cybertronian accents.

It's a real shame!
Seeing Natsume's disappointed look, Shigeru's eyes twitched slightly.

"Natsume-kun, you remind me of the evil scientist from Pokémon Team."

Xiao Mao blurted it out.

"Huh? You're still watching?" Xiao Zhi peeked out.

"What do you know? Season 5, the brand new Season 5!"

Xiao Mao blushed and muttered something about passion and sentiment.
When the three returned to the workshop, the black fog had mostly dissipated, and the sports car that had been moving had stopped.

"Bang!"

The Autobot lost power and fell to the ground.

Shigeru turned his head and stared intently at Natsume.

“Rotom.” Natsume called out to Rotom.

After a period of rest, Rotom's condition has clearly improved considerably.

Natsume gave a signal with his eyes, and Rotom understood, crawling into the powerless Autobot.

With a sickening sound, the Autobot began to transform, becoming a sports car once again.

"Alright, Shigeru, at least it's still usable, isn't it?" Ash patted him on the shoulder.

After reverting to its original form, Rotom emerged with a massive chip, which fell into Natsume's hands.

"It's getting late, let's go take a look at the dam."

Natsume carefully put the chip into the box and put it away.

Behind him, Xiao Mao was already starting the sports car, but he found that no matter how he turned the key, it didn't work.

"Natsume-nii, why can't it start?" Shigeru looked up at Natsume with a puzzled expression.

Not only could it not start, but the key also felt very loose when inserted.

"Here you go." Natsume handed over a Z-shaped stick.

"What is this?" Xiao Mao asked, completely bewildered.

"Tractor starter lever," Natsume said without turning his head.

Why are you giving me this?

A sense of foreboding arose in Xiao Mao's heart.

Professor Oak would occasionally send him to fetch things for the lab, and Gary was quite familiar with these things.

What Natsume gave him seemed to have been found in the scrap bins of this workshop.

"Well, to save space, I modified some of the existing wiring." Natsume paused for a moment:
"A new hole has been drilled under the steering wheel. Just insert it and twist it."

There was no other way; Xiao Mao's sports car had been equipped with autopilot, and there were many circuits in the steering wheel.

But this is not very useful and only wastes space.

Xiaomao: "."

His "lover" seems to have turned into a "country girl".

After some commotion, the group arrived at the bottom of the dam. Many trainers had already gathered there.

"Mr. Natsume!" From the crowd, Jiaozi waved to Natsume and the others.

As they drew closer, they discovered that Teng Yi was standing on a small earthen mound in the distance, holding a megaphone and loudly announcing:

"Trainers, I presume there's a reason I've invited you all here today—ah!"

A large pit suddenly appeared beneath Fujii's feet, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

"Mr. Fujiichi, are you alright?" Xiaozhi stepped forward and helped him up.

"Damn gophers, it's them!"

Fujii angrily pointed to the open space not far away.

As everyone looked in that direction, they saw that the originally flat ground was gradually rising.

"Beep, beep, beep -"

A cacophony of sounds arose as one groundhog after another poked its head out.

Diglett, my favorite Pokémon! Diglett, my favorite Pokémon!

"Xiao Zhi, why did you transfer back again?" Xiao Xia covered her ears, unable to bear it any longer.

"It's not him, it's Xiao Mao."

Xiao Gang pointed to Xiao Mao, who was at a loss and had nowhere to hide the encyclopedia.

"Oh~ I didn't expect you to be just as classy as me, Gary!" Ash gave Gary a thumbs up.

Xiao Mao blushed and frantically pressed buttons before finally muting the encyclopedia.

"Who has any class with you? I just accidentally touched it and don't know how to undo it."

As he was talking, Shigeru noticed that many trainers were looking in their direction, so he immediately shut his mouth.

"Ahem, everyone, our mission is to drive away the gophers. Go, Wartortle!"

Xiao Mao lost the ball and tried to distract himself.

"Go, Xiao Mao!"

Xiao Mao's cheerleading squad appeared behind him at some point.

The Poké Ball landed on the ground, a red light flashed, but Wartortle did not appear.

"what happened?"

Xiao Mao was astonished.

"Go, Big Bird!"

"Go, Rada!"

Many trainers around him followed suit and threw Poké Balls, but like Gary, not a single Pokémon appeared.

"Beep beep beep!"

A ground squirrel lifted Blue's Poké Ball and came to him, seemingly to return it.

"This is."

Xiao Mao was slightly taken aback.

"Natsume-san, what's wrong with everyone's Pokémon?" Ash asked in surprise, taking his hand off the Poké Ball at his waist.

"Yes, my Wartortle doesn't want to come out."

Xiao Mao also turned his head.

“That’s because the bond between you two isn’t strong enough. Here.” With that, Natsume handed a small piece of paper to Shigeru.

"Just read this out, and Wartortle will come out."

"Oh, it's poetry." Xiao Mao glanced at it and immediately understood.

Professor Oak is very fond of poetry, and under his influence, Gary has also come to know a little about it.

He kissed the Poké Ball and began a heartfelt recitation of poetry.

"Warm-Turtles~ My lover, my dearest companion, through wind and snow."

"Smack." Xia covered her face.

"Isn't he Professor Oak's grandson? How come he looks so much like Ash? He believes everything Natsume says!" Misty couldn't help but complain.

"Could Natsume be the leader of the kids in Shinichi Town?" Xiao Gang speculated.

"Sizzle~" A red light flashed out from Xiao Mao's waist.

A Pokémon that looks very much like Squirrel has appeared, with its tail resembling auspicious cloud patterns.

"It's Squirtle's evolved form, Wartortle." Ash's eyes lit up, and he took out his Pokédex.

"Natsume-nii, it really came out!" Shigeru exclaimed in surprise.

"Kami!" That's so cheesy!
The turtle roared angrily. Seeing that Xiao Mao wanted to continue reading, it couldn't stand it anymore and jumped up to slap him with its tail.

Squirtle snatched the paper from Shigeru's hand, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it twice.

It turned around and hugged one of Natsume's legs.

"Thump thump thump!" Wartortle banged its head against the ground.

After delivering a powerful blow to Natsume, Wartortle pressed the Poké Ball and returned to it.

"Huh? Why are you still unwilling to fight?"

Xiao Mao covered his face, somewhat stunned.
