Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 14: Professor Oak, the first author wrote your name
Nibi City, Pokémon Center.

"Rest first, then go to the gym."

"Let's go to the gym first, then rest!"

The sounds of Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia arguing could be heard.

The two of them argued all the way, and Wu Neng was getting overwhelmed.

"Hey, hey, your name is Xiaozhi, right?"

Wu Neng looked at Xiaozhi, and his expression suddenly became extremely serious.

"What's wrong, Uncle Wu Neng?"

Xiaozhi stopped arguing with Xiaoxia and turned to look at Wu Neng.

"In your current state, you will definitely not be able to defeat Brock at the Nibi City gym. I suggest you go to another gym first."

Wu Neng looked at Xiaozhi and spoke bluntly.

"How is that possible? Pikachu and I are both very confident."

"Skin!"

Xiaozhi said, and Pikachu agreed with full energy.

"Idiot, the gyms in Nibee City are known for their Rock and Ground types. There's no way your Pokémon can win."

On the side, Xiaoxia did not forget to finish off the enemy.

Seeing this, Wu Neng also said:

"She's right. The Nibi City Gym isn't suitable for a newbie like you. You should go to the Cerulean City Gym next door first. They're the weakest."

Xiaoxia: "."

Ignoring the sudden silence from Misty, Xiaozhi was still very unconvinced:
"Natsume-san, what are you talking about?"

Xiaozhi wanted to find Natsume's support, but suddenly found that the other party was talking to someone.

When I got closer, I saw it was Professor Oak.

"Dr. Oak, it's you."

"It's Xiaozhi. How's your journey? Did you have a smooth journey?"

"It went smoothly, but why are you at my house again?"

"Ah? Ahem, Natsume, let's get down to business first."

The Rotom mobile phone automatically turned its screen to face Natsume perfectly.

"Dr. Oak, did the article I sent you last night pass?"

"Well, I've already submitted it to you."

As he spoke, Professor Oak on the screen seemed to have received some news, picked up the mouse and clicked something on the computer.

On the side, Xiaoxia and Wu Neng also noticed the movement here and came over out of curiosity.

"Oh my, I didn't realize you're a Pokémon researcher, little brother! Such a young researcher!"

Wu Neng was a little surprised and praised sincerely.

"Natsume, what did you post?"

Misty glanced curiously at the screen of Rotom's phone, and Professor Oak's voice rang out with a hint of laughter:
"Oh? It's the editor over there who sent me a message!"

After a short while, Professor Oak put down his mouse and turned his gaze back to the camera, a look of congratulations on his face.

"Congratulations, Natsume. Your paper has passed the preliminary review of Hualan City's special children's publication. It will be published soon."

"What? That children's publication in Cerulean City?"

On the side, Xiaoxia complained a little, saying that she had not liked watching that thing since she was three years old.

To become a Pokémon doctor, one must publish five special papers, all of which must be of a quality that is included in first-class journals. Natsume has only published one that meets the requirements so far.

"On the Evaluation Indicators of the Fusion of Rotom and Electrical Appliances in Combat Applications" was included in three first-rate journals: the 'Regional Pokémon League Academy of Sciences', the 'Journal of Pokémon Iterations', and the 'Vikipan Morning News', as well as countless second- and third-rate journals.

It was also thanks to this article that he was able to become Professor Oak's disciple.

Although this so-called Kanto Special Children's Magazine has the word "Special" in its name, in Natsume's impression, it seems to be a second-rate magazine specializing in children's publications.

Natsume was not at all flustered, he just blinked his eyes and spoke sincerely:

"Dr. Oak, I wrote your name."

The opponent, Professor Oak, who was laughing heartily, froze, and then a terrified voice came from the opponent:
"What did you say!!??"

"Wait a minute, I think this paper has the potential to be published in a top journal. I'll withdraw it and help you revise it!"

It was as if the sky had fallen, and Professor Oak hurriedly turned off the communication.

"Huh? What happened to Professor Oak?"

Xiaozhi asked curiously.

"I don't know. I don't know much about this either."

Xiaoxia scratched her head.

"Nothing, it's just that Professor Oak is going to start staying up late these days."

Natsume took a sip of water and said.

Well, if Dr. Oak is good, he will need one less thesis to graduate with a doctorate, only three.

Wu Neng, who was watching from the side: "."

"Okay Xiaozhi, what do you want from me?"

Hearing Natsume's voice, Xiaozhi finally came back to his senses. He immediately returned to his previous fighting spirit:

"Natsume-san, do you think I can get the Nibi City Gym?"

"No."

Natsume is simple.

"what--"

Xiaozhi covered his chest with his hands, looking like he was seriously hit.

"Is he going to be okay?"

Xiaoxia looked at Natsume with some concern. "3"

Natsume uttered a number.

"3? What does that mean?"

Xiaoxia looked at Natsume in confusion.

"2"

"1"

"0"

"There's no way I'm giving up!"

As the word "0" popped out of Natsume's mouth, Xiaozhi jumped up again as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and the fighting spirit in his eyes was extremely dazzling.

"Okay, no matter how many times I say it, it's better to take action once. I'm leaving now!"

As he said that, Xiaozhi took the recovered Pikachu and two Poké Balls from the counter and ran towards the Nibe City Gym like flying.

"Ugh!"

Wu Neng wanted to stop him, but Natsume held his shoulders.

"Let him go. That's Xiaozhi's personality. He won't lie down until he falls."

"What if you fall?"

On the side, Xiaoxia said with some disbelief.

"Get up and keep running."

Natsume said as a matter of course.

"Just an idiot like him? Humph, I don't believe it."

Seeing Natsume exaggerating like that, Xiaoxia turned her head to the side.

Natsume shrugged and said nothing.

After all, Misty had only joined the team for a few days, and her impression of Ash was just that of a kind-hearted boy who loved Pokémon.

On the side, Wu Neng seemed to be touched by Natsume's words and fell silent.

Looking at Xiaozhi's back gradually disappearing into the distance, Natsume stretched lazily.

Well, although high fighting spirit is a good thing, Natsume doesn't think Xiaozhi has any chance of winning.

The attribute restraint and level gap are there.

Onix, in particular, is almost immune to electrical properties.

Wait for Xiaozhi to be defeated, and then Wu Neng will help him become stronger.

Thinking of this, Natsume glanced at Wu Neng, who seemed a little sad, and shrugged his shoulders. He found a seat and sat down.

Natsume had no interest in the old father's mood. He only knew that he still had a scratch-off ticket that he hadn't used last time.

Now that you can get a scratch card by fighting every day, Natsume doesn’t cherish it so much anymore.

When Natsume took out the scratch-off ticket from the system space, he was slightly stunned.

The scratch-off lottery ticket in my hand did not have the same red and white ball pattern as before.

Blue cover and white background, super ball.

Natsume raised his eyebrows and scratched the scratch card, revealing a small disc-like object inside.

[Ding! Consume 1 Super Ball Scratch-Off Lottery Ticket to receive 1 Random Skill Machine.]

Skill machine. Feeling an extra CD in the system space, Natsume did not rush to check it, but asked himself in his heart.

"System, why is the pattern on this scratch-off ticket different?"

[Complete different levels of tasks to get scratch cards with different patterns: Poké Ball, Ultra Ball, Advanced Ball, and Master Ball]

After listening to the system's explanation, Natsume nodded in understanding.

After completing the B-level research project, you can get a Super Ball scratch-off lottery ticket, and the guaranteed reward is a Super Ball.

After completing the A-level research project, you can get the advanced ball scratch-off lottery, and the guaranteed reward is the advanced ball.

If you complete S-level or above research, you can get a Master Ball scratch-off lottery ticket, and the guaranteed reward is a Master Ball.

Natsume's eyes lit up. He had a rule-based battle system with ten red and white balls. Didn't that mean he was a lucky guy?
It seems that the "fragrance" of gas bombs is still very strong.

Thinking of this, Natsume turned his attention to the system template in front of him. The guaranteed reward for ABCD-level topics can only be said to be a consolation prize.

But for S-level and above questions, even the consolation prize is a Master Ball.

Natsume's eyes were a little fiery.

In reality, the Master Ball is not very useful.

The Master Ball can capture the monster 100%, but taming it still depends on whether you can be recognized.

Even if you catch a legendary beast with a Master Ball and release it, if it refuses to obey you and doesn't listen to you, it will just turn around and run away.

He might even beat you up before running away.

Otherwise, with the Alliance's technology for making Master Balls, they would have captured all the mythical beasts long ago, and there would be no need for those villain organizations to go to such great lengths.

You know, the ultimate goal of almost all villain organizations is never to "capture" the divine beasts, but to control them.

"System, if I capture a Divine Beast with a Master Ball in a regular venue, does that count as taming it?"

Natsume's eyes lit up. He remembered that the rules of the game venue must be strictly followed. In the game, if you catch someone, you have conquered him. There is no question of recognition or not.

[The host can command the beast under the blessing of the game rules. ]

Hearing this, Natsume pursed his lips.

So this means that even if he used the rules of the game to tame a divine beast, he could only fight it once a day, and the rest of the time, if he dared to release it in reality, he would be doomed.

To be precise, if he dared to take out the Master Ball from the system space, he would be throwing it away.

After all, there are quite a few legendary beasts that have the ability to destroy Poké Balls, especially some with psychic attributes.

However, the Master Ball is still very valuable to Natsume, which involves his other guess about Rotom's form - the Poké Ball form of Rotom.

Even without the system, he had to find a way to get a Master Ball.
