Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 150 Ancient Pokémon
"This area is a forest, and over there, the snowmelt from the mountains flows down to form a small river, at the end of which there is a wetland."

Natsume introduced the terrain around the snow mountain to Jiaozi, as well as the Pokémon population that Oak's lab had deployed in the vicinity.

"Take care, Mr. Natsume."

Jiaozi was carrying a large box on his back, sweating profusely, and holding a small notebook in his hand, where he was quickly taking notes.

"Alright, that's about it. We can go back now."

Natsume checked and found that the avalanche on the snow mountain was stopped in time by Mewtwo, the damage was negligible, and no Pokémon were injured.

As the two walked back, they heard a series of digging sounds coming from one side of the woods.

Natsume frowned, went over to take a look, and found a group of people wearing dark brown uniforms, using large machinery, mining something on the walls on both sides of the stream.

"Mr. Natsume."

Jiaozi turned around and looked at Natsume, wanting to know how to handle this situation.

“Generally speaking, without a certificate from the alliance, this is considered illegal mining.”

"Should we go up and confirm?" Jiaozi was taken aback, but then saw Natsume take out his phone and record for ten minutes.

Close-ups of some people's faces, as well as the models of the equipment, were recorded.

"If you find something, preserve the evidence first, and then confirm it when it is safe to do so."

Natsume stood up as he spoke.

"What if it's not safe?" Jiaozi asked nervously.

"Open the box." Natsume pointed to the black box that Jiaozi was carrying.

Jiaozi was taken aback; she had no idea what the big box was for.

I initially thought it was some kind of necessity, but we've almost finished the journey and Natsume hasn't let him use it.

"So it was originally for special situations."

As she opened the black box, Jiao Zi's face stiffened. She reached in and took out an RPG from inside.

"Mr. Natsume, this isn't quite right."

Jiaozi was a little stunned, and then hoisted the cannon barrel onto his shoulder.

"Great, here's the ammunition."

As he spoke, Natsume pointed to the corner of the box.

Jiaozi then noticed that there were three more red and white balls in the corner.

"This used to be Professor Oak's Pokémon, specifically for dealing with special situations."

With that, Natsume took out three red and white balls.

Hanako, Masaki, and I all had the task of inspecting the research institute for quite some time.

Now that it has fallen into the hands of a prodigy, it can be considered a continuation of the legacy.

"But now, Professor Oak has taken the Pokémon away. These three spherical projectiles are specially made by me and are filled with Pokémon aphrodisiacs."

As he spoke, Natsume reached into the box, pulled out a small blue spray bottle, and introduced it:

"This is a calming potion. Spray it on your Pokémon and it won't be affected by the aphrodisiac for a while."

"When you make your move, you can shout, 'Go ahead, Eevee! Use Attract to make your opponent think their Pokémon has been hit by a move.'"

"Once the opponent's Pokémon is hit and unable to fight back, you can easily deal with the criminals."

"Do you understand?" Natsume asked, looking at Takako.

He spoke in great detail.

There's no way around it; the research institute also has quite a few rare Pokémon, and there will always be some clueless Pokémon hunters who will take notice.

Natsume felt that the Pokémon Professor Oak gave him might not be able to solve the problem, and he had figured out quite a few gadgets over the years.

For example, this custom-made RPG.

"Oh"

Jiaozi nodded blankly.

Fortunately, this time they didn't need to use any special methods.

After talking with the group of miners for a while, I discovered that they had a permit issued by the Alliance.

"Ah, you are Mr. Natsume from the Oki Laboratory? I'm so sorry, I didn't let you know beforehand, it was a misunderstanding."

A pretty girl who looked about the same age as Jiaozi kept apologizing to Natsume and the other girl.

"I don't know your name?" Natsume suddenly felt that the group of people in front of him looked somewhat familiar.

"Ah, my name is White," the pretty girl said somewhat shyly.

"White?" Natsume felt the name sounded familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

He stared intently at the pretty young girl.

The other person was wearing an ivory-white turtleneck adventure suit, with a multi-layered leather tool bag hanging from their waist, containing a magnifying glass and rubbing tools.

Staring at the other person until their face turned red, Natsume still couldn't recall anything.

"Ahem, alright, since there's nothing else, let's go back to the research institute."

Jiaozi, carrying a large black box, stood blocking the way in front of the two.

"Dr. White, we've found what was shaken out by the avalanche!"

Two team members wearing safety helmets jogged over, each carrying a golden spoon.

"Well, let me see."

White walked happily toward the two teammates.

"Dr. White!"

Jiaozi stared at White in shock; the other man looked to be about the same age as him.

"I remembered."

Natsume clapped his hands, finally realizing why he was so familiar with the name White.

During his years studying in Pallet Town, Natsume also thought about finding those three ancient Pokémon.

After all, those three ancient beings were near Pallet Town, and they were definitely carrying out research projects.

During that time, Natsume read many papers on research about ancient Pokémon.

“Miss White should be a PhD in ancient linguistics,” Natsume and Takako explained.

I read a lot of ancient linguistics, mostly articles published by senior university professors.

However, the second author of these papers was almost always a person named White.

White happily placed the golden spoon into a clear glass jar, then carried it into the makeshift tent that had been erected nearby.

Natsume, with his son in tow, curiously followed.

"Mr. Natsume, Ms. White is amazing!"

The proud young man lowered his head, looking somewhat disappointed.

Natsume had originally praised her for being a suitable researcher, but it turns out that people around her age have already earned doctorates.

"Her situation is rather special, as classical Chinese literature is a rather unpopular major."

"The kind of school where every year there are zero applicants, and a dozen or so professors have their books but can't find anyone to study it."

Natsume lowered his voice.

White was able to obtain his doctorate so early.

Besides his own talent, the fact that he was taught by a dozen or so senior professors as a "single-student" teacher is also inextricably linked to this.

Jiaozi nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

White took a magnifying glass and carefully examined the words on the gold spoon.

"What a pity. It's not clear; you need special equipment."

White was a little disappointed that the words on the spoon were too small.

After a long while, she looked at Natsume with hopeful eyes:
"Mr. Natsume, could we borrow the equipment at Professor Oki's lab?"

“Professor Oak locked it. I can’t open it. I’ll have to wait three or four days.” Natsume shook his head.

"That's it"

White pursed his lips, seemingly deep in thought.

“However, I can read the words on it.” Natsume’s voice then rang out.

"Can you see clearly?"

White was surprised, but when he turned around, he saw a faint blue light in Natsume's eyes.

"A psychic. Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Natsume. Just help me copy this piece of paper."

White happily pulled out a pen and paper from his pocket and handed them to Natsume.
