Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 128: Of course, it's time to go to humans for health and wellness.

The next day.

"Oh, young man, thank you!"

The old clan chief, along with a large group of clan members, bid farewell to Natsume and his party.

"Natsume, is it really okay for you to lie to that old man like that?" Kasumi leaned closer.

Each of them was covered with Lara American specialties.

These were all gifts from the old clan chief, and Xiaoxia felt a little reluctant to give them up.

"What lie?" Natsume was taken aback.

"It's what you said, that the alliance will increase its support for this area," Xiao Gang's voice rang out.

"Most likely." Natsume shrugged.

He has already reported the situation of the underground temple.

Once the affairs on Mount Tsukimi and the overseas islands are settled, the Alliance will certainly not let this place go once it has the spare resources.

Although the old clan chief kept emphasizing that life was pretty good now.

But judging from the fact that the other party kept mentioning his younger brother in the city, he also longed for the area to be developed.

The League cannot over-intervene in the wilderness area.

However, it's still possible to develop a scenic spot or ecotourism destination on the outskirts.

"By the way, Natsume-kun, have you found any news about the little groundhog?"

Xiao Zhi suddenly spoke up.

“We went to the core of the wilderness area,” Natsume replied.

While digging his way out of the underground temple, Natsume encountered a pair of ground squirrels who were also searching for a small ground squirrel.

He has already informed the other party, and he estimates that the entire swarm of groundhogs has now headed towards the core of the wilderness area.

If you're lucky, when Natsume arrives at the wilderness area, you'll see the little ground squirrel getting double-teamed.

"The core of the wilderness area? How is the core area different from here?"

Xiao Zhi asked in confusion.

"Of course they're different." Xiao Gang took out a map and pointed to a landmark building on the grassland.

"The core area of ​​the wilderness is guarded by dedicated Alliance personnel."

"Then we can freeload again today... uh, I mean we don't need to stay in a tent in the wild." Xiaoxia paused.

“At this time of day,” Natsume glanced at the map in Tsuyoshi’s hand.

"Going there now will allow you to catch the legal hunting season in the wilderness area."

"Isn't it forbidden to catch Pokémon in the Wild Area?" Ash asked, puzzled.

"Yes, yes, poachers should all be arrested!" Xiaoxia poked her head out.

Natsume didn't explain, but simply glanced at Takako.

The latter immediately understood and explained:
"That's right, the Wild Area was originally intended to protect rare Pokémon populations."

"But in some areas, there are also many ordinary Pokémon populations."

"These Pokémon populations are already huge. Under the protection of the League, the population decline is almost entirely due to natural death. If they are not reduced, they will eventually multiply to a number that the entire ecosystem cannot sustain."

"Therefore, every now and then, the League will send people to register Pokémon whose population exceeds the limit, and develop a period of legal capture and capture."

Jiaozi blinked, uncertainly flipped to a large book, looked at it, and then nodded affirmatively.

"That's it anyway."

"Great!" Ash's eyes suddenly lit up.

He saw many Pokémon as soon as he set foot on the grassland.

However, this is the wilderness area, so he cannot catch it.

"Let's hurry up and go to the building registration office that Xiaogang mentioned!"

Ash took the lead and charged ahead.

Wilderness area, entrance.

The group entered a large green-roofed building.

Pushing open the door, you can see many trainers inside, all queuing up and registering with the staff.

"Let me see, here's the list of Pokémon that can be caught this year." Brock went to the wall next to him, where many Pokémon heads were hanging.

Everyone followed and looked.

"Tauros, Dodo, Oddish, Beedrill, Rhyhorn... Wow, so many!" Ash exclaimed.

This is the Pokémon population that exceeded the limit in the Wild Area this year; after counting, there were a total of eighteen species.

"But what if poachers take advantage of this opportunity to steal our animals?" Xiaoxia asked with some worry.

"Haha, don't worry, we in the Wilderness District have plenty of methods and strength!"

An old man with a mustache, wearing a cowboy hat, and dressed like a Western outlaw suddenly appeared from the side.

"My name is Caesar, and I'm the League Trainer responsible for protecting the wilderness area this year," the old man introduced himself.

"Grandpa Caesar, what kind of method are you talking about?" Ash asked curiously as he approached.

Upon hearing this, Caesar held up one finger and said:

"First, Trainers going to the Wild Area are not allowed to bring Pokémon!"

"Huh? Then how do we capture Pokémon in the Wild Area?" Ash asked in surprise.

Caesar smiled slightly and held up his second finger, saying:

"Second, you can only use Hunting Balls in the Wild Area to catch animals by throwing them directly. Each person is limited to thirty, and you can get them for free by registering your identity information."

As he spoke, Caesar pointed to the long dragon not far away:

"They're all here to collect their hunting balls."

"You can catch it just by throwing a ball? Could it be that the Hunting Ball is some kind of incredibly powerful Poké Ball?" Xiao Gang exclaimed in surprise.

For a moment, Ash and Misty also looked at Caesar with admiration.

“The Hunting Ball is just a painted red and white ball with a League locator added,” Natsume’s voice rang out.

"Ah—" Everyone was somewhat disappointed.

“But while this might deter some poachers, what about our safety?” Xiao Gang suddenly asked.

If you don't allow Pokémon in, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous if you were attacked by wild Pokémon?

"Don't worry, we've already discussed it. Catching Pokémon in the Wild Area is very easy," Caesar patted his chest confidently.

"What did you agree on?" Everyone was curious, seeing Caesar's confidence.

"It cannot be said, it cannot be said!" Caesar shook his head, refusing to say anything.

"Natsume-nii, do you know?" As the group approached, they turned to ask Natsume.

They simply couldn't imagine what methods the League could use to make Pokémon willingly submit to capture.

And there's no need for battles?
Natsume was looking at some photos on the other side of the wall. One of the photos was a picture of Caesar and Dratini together.
Hearing everyone's questions, Natsume turned around:

"Of course, it was discussed with the leaders of the tribe. The old, weak, sick and disabled will go to humans to recuperate."

"."

The atmosphere was somewhat silent.

Even Xiao Zhi, who was initially full of enthusiasm, no longer had the same passion he had when he entered.

He thought he would be able to have a thrilling battle with all sorts of Pokémon in the Wild Area.

As a result, even Pikachu wouldn't let him in.

"But don't worry, some Pokémon populations are just too large. Even if all the old, weak, sick and disabled ones were captured, it wouldn't be enough to control their numbers."

Natsume's voice then rang out.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"Natsume-kun, which Pokémon species have the largest populations?" Ash asked curiously.

"The Kentavious Cavaliers will be the first to be affected."

"Okay, I'm going to capture Tauros!"

Before Natsume could finish speaking, Satoshi rushed out and happened to get his number in line.

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't bring Pikachu in!"

Caesar grabbed Ash by the collar.

"Oh, Pikachu, thank you for your help. And also, keep an eye on the middle-parted hair."

Ash reluctantly placed the two Pikachu in a special temporary Pokémon foster care facility.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu waved, indicating that it was perfectly fine.
