Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 121 features two Growlithe dogs, one of whom is Brock.
It is understood that the little ground squirrel has a somewhat eccentric personality.

The little ground squirrel is always lost in its own world and easily detaches itself from the group.

Natsume pulled out a device that resembled a mine detector.

The instrument was carried on Natsume's back, with one hand holding a long rod. A huge disc was suspended on the ground, with a green indicator light constantly on.

Jiaozi wanted to help, but Natsume refused.

If the instruments are too close, they will interfere with each other.

"No, I can't find it at all?"

Natsume asked in confusion.

This is a specialized instrument for detecting locations, with a detection range more than ten times that of one's own telekinetic power.

Diglett, being a Pokémon that lives on the surface of the earth, should theoretically be easy to find.

But there seemed to be nothing in front of Natsume.

To avoid disturbing Natsume, all the Diglett swarms stayed far behind, and even Ash and his friends walked very quietly.

The groundhogs' dark eyes held a hopeful look.

That day, it was this researcher who took the lead in stopping the construction of the dam.

The other party must be very reliable!
"Beep beep!"

Suddenly, a piercing red light flashed on the instrument.

"Found it?" Natsume asked suspiciously.

The swarm of ground squirrels instantly gathered around and discovered a small puddle in front of Natsume.

"."

Suddenly realizing that Natsume might not be as reliable as he thought, the three ground squirrels rallied their group, forming teams of three, and began their search as well.

"Huh? Why have the Digletts scattered?" Ash noticed that the Digletts that were following them had all disappeared.

"Of course we have to disperse."

Natsume's voice then rang out:

"They not only need to find the lost ground squirrels, but also to find new habitats."

"Beep beep beep~" The instrument in Natsume's hand emitted a bright red light, and the vibration became even stronger.

"Could there really be ground squirrels in this puddle?" Jiaozi asked, leaning closer.

“I don’t think so.” Looking at the trembling puddle, Natsume turned to look into the distance.

The working principle of this instrument is to emit radio waves for detection, and depending on the adjusted setting, it will bounce back when it touches something.

Sometimes, it's not necessarily something underground.

"Boom!"

The pebbles were bouncing, and the vibrations on the ground were already visible to the naked eye.

"That's it!" Xiao Gang pointed into the distance.

On the horizon, a group of brown Pokémon resembling bulls charged towards them.

"Wow, what is this!"

Ash quickly dodged and pulled out his Pokédex:

Tauros, the Great Bull Pokémon, is full of energy and won't stop running once it starts, until it crashes into something.

"Wow, that looks dangerous."

Xiaoxia retreated even further.

"So many Tauros, have we arrived in the Wild Area?" Xiao Gang seemed to realize something and suddenly exclaimed.

"The Wild Area?" Ash and Misty turned around at the same time and looked at each other.

"It's a pristine, wild Pokémon nature reserve," Xiao Gang explained.

"Generally speaking, the Pokémon living here live in groups."

As soon as Brock finished speaking, another group of ostrich-like Pokémon charged in.

[Dudu, a two-headed Pokémon with well-developed legs, is adept at running and is used by ethnic minorities on the grasslands to transport goods.]

"It's Dodot—ah!" Ash stared at his Pokédex in a daze, and before he could react, he had already been knocked away by a Dodot.

"Hmph, don't you dare block my way. I won't pay for any staged accidents!"

Behind the army of Dodos, on the back of a Dodori, a young man glanced sideways at Ash.

"Hey, who are you? — cough cough!"

Xiaoxia wanted to argue, but the other party drove away in a cloud of dust, urging her to leave.

“This person is so rude. Even wild Tauros are more docile than the Dodos he commands.”

Xiao Gang frowned, watching the other person's departing figure.

Not far away, Natsume thoughtfully put away the instrument.

The commotion just now seemed to be caused by the ground tremors caused by the Tauros and the Dodos herd rushing around.

"Everyone!"

A red and white figure flashed by, and a magnificent horse engulfed in flames came to a stop in front of the crowd.

On the horse, a beautiful young woman held the reins.

"Woof—" Behind the horse followed a Kadearix. [Ponyta, the Ponyta Pokémon, has excellent stamina for long-distance running.]

Ash's Pokédex began to play in rapid succession.

"Hello, my name is Fu Zi, and I am a Lara American living in this area."

Have you seen my Tauren herd?

Tomiko asked the others for help.

"I see, I'll take you there right away." Xiao Gang shoved the Cardigan away with his butt.

"Wang?"

The dog looked at the man strangely.

What does it mean when you suddenly feel like your status is threatened?

"Oh, thank you for your help." Fu Zi smiled faintly, and Xiao Gang's eyes lit up with admiration.

"No trouble, no trouble!"

With that, Xiao Gang mustered all his strength and charged headlong in the direction Kentairo had gone.

"He ran off with a stranger all of a sudden, what was he doing?" Xiaoxia frowned.

"Natsume-san, what is the Lala American tribe?"

Ash turned his head, just as Natsume walked over with the equipment.

"You mean this? I remember it's a minority group that lives in this area, right?"

Natsume tilted his head, searching his mind for information.

"The Lalamo people, a race that is determined to raise Pokémon in nature."

"When the Alliance was carrying out urban and rural planning, it divided this area into the Crimson City and the Wilderness District."

“Some of the Lalamos people stayed and lived a nomadic life here, while others moved to Fuchsia City.”

After Natsume finished speaking, he pointed to the plains behind him and said:

"To be precise, we are in the Lalamove nomadic region; the real wilderness is yet to come."

"I see," Xiao Zhi nodded, looking like he had just learned something new.

The next second, Natsume shoved a device into his hand.

"Don't just stand around, all of you come together."

As he spoke, Natsume gave each of Xiaoxia and Jiaozi a detector.

"Natsume-sensei, didn't you say that traditional ground wave detectors would interfere with each other?"

Jiaozi looked at Natsume with a puzzled expression.

"Could it be that Natsume gave us some kind of advanced equipment?"

Xiaoxia, carrying the device on her back, poked her head out.

"No, it's just that I'm annoyed by how idle you all are."

As Natsume spoke, he placed the device on the ground and leaned against Koki.

"."

"Then let's take turns," Jiaozi suggested.

Everyone nodded, and they took turns searching for the entire afternoon.

As the sun set, several people collapsed on the ground, exhausted.

"Still nothing." Xiaoxia took a sip of water.

"Oh, my detector is vibrating! It's vibrating!" As if he had won the lottery, Xiao Zhi's eyes lit up.

"Nonsense, even the stones on the ground are shaking."

Xiaoxia turned her head and gave Xiaozhi a weak, listless look.

He is truly full of energy.

"It's probably Xiaogang and the others who are back," Jiaozi said, looking into the distance.

A herd of Tauros gallops under the setting sun.

A small fire horse led the way, while two small black dots kept watch around it, maintaining the direction of the Tauros herd.

"What's that?" Xiaoxia pointed to the black dot.

“That one,” Natsume said, pulling out his binoculars.

"Lalamos people usually keep Cardigan dogs to help manage their Kentair or Dodo groups."

“Those two black dots are two Cardigans.” Natsume’s voice suddenly paused:
"No, one of them is Xiao Gang."

His physical attributes were something Natsume envied.

With a "whoosh!", Tomiko led the group of Tauros past the crowd.

"Let's go, everyone." Xiao Gang stopped, panting heavily.

"Miss Tomiko said there's a Latin American party going on over there, and we can go to her house to rest today."

Xiao Gang's excited voice rang out.
