Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 157 The Postman Dragonite, Mewtwo's Letter
Zhenxin Town, beside a road.

"Stop right there! I challenge you!"

Every trainer who passed by was challenged by the boy with two Pikachu perched on his shoulders.

On one side of the road is a hillside.

A picnic with fruit at a long table.

The group sat on stools, drinking tea and watching Ash's battle with the passersby.

A few days ago, Dr. Nishino Mori temporarily took over many matters at the Oki Research Institute.

When everyone had some free time, Xiao Zhi reflected deeply and realized that he couldn't continue down this path of decadence.

At Natsume's suggestion, Ash changed into a short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and a bug net, and went to the road near Pallet Town to challenge everyone he met.

"Natsume-nii, the outfit you recommended is really useful. I've seen a significant increase in trainers agreeing to take on the challenge these past few days!"

Ash walked over, carrying two Pikachu and wiping his sweat.

"Heh, you used to wear eight badges around your neck, it would be a miracle if anyone wanted to fight you, right?" Xiaoxia retorted helplessly.

Instead of arguing as usual, Ash eagerly grabbed a prepared sandwich and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Pikapi!"

"Pica-"

Pikachu and the guy with the middle part couldn't wait to jump down and share a sandwich.

I played matches all morning, and I was exhausted and starving.

Beside him, Natsume held a Master Ball in his hand, his eyes flashing with blue light as he carefully examined its circuitry.

The day after Dr. Nishino opened the laboratory, he created the advanced Rotom ball.

[High-level Rotom, LV56]

【Attributes: Electricity + Super Power. 】

【种族值：600(生命：200、物攻：20、特攻：40、物防：160、特防：160、速度：20)】

[Skills: Curse Ball, Heal Ball, Extinction Ball, Robin Hood Ball, Protect]

[Ability: Great Ball (effectively suppresses Pokémon).]

Its base stats have reached near-legendary level!
While the Ultra Ball Rotom doesn't offer any new skills, its base stats are higher than those of the Great Ball.

At the same time, the damage and healing provided by Cursed Orb and Healing Orb have both increased slightly.

Actually, starting with the Super Ball, the Poké Balls have only been performance upgrades, without providing any new skills, which was within Natsume's expectations.

"Woo~"

A mournful sound came from the sky, and a gust of wind swept in.

The short-sleeved boy, Xiaozhi, who was wolfing down his food, was blown to the ground.

'Hmm—who is it?'

Ash, with a sandwich in his mouth, got up, looking annoyed.

Looking up, I saw a Dragonite.

This dragon head is wearing a mailman's hat and carrying a large satchel, from which you can vaguely see many letters.

"Woo-"

Dragonite glanced at everyone, then pulled a letter from its bag and handed it to Ash.

Ash was taken aback and looked at Natsume, unsure of what to do.

"Dragon Express is the highest-level courier in the express delivery industry. They deliver quickly, but their prices are also relatively high."

"The person who would go to such lengths to send you a letter must have something urgent to say."

Natsume shifted his gaze from the Master Ball to Ash.

"Could it be Mom?!"

Xiao Zhi was a little excited.

Hanako went on vacation to the Carlos region, doing it all very mysteriously.

Every time Xiaozhi makes a video call, the other party hangs up in a hurry.

When Hanako hung up, Ash could still vaguely see a head of brown hair or a beret.

Excitedly, I opened the email, only to find a small card inside.

"what is this?"

Ash looked at the mailman, Dragonite, with a puzzled expression.

"Hmm~"

Dragonite shook its head, indicating that it was just a deliveryman.

It took out a positive review form, pressed it onto Ash's hand to leave a mark, then flapped its wings and soared into the sky, disappearing from sight.

"Natsume-nii".

Ash held up the card and looked helplessly at Natsume.

"It's simple. Just download an app called Guandu Express and you can give it a bad review."

Natsume didn't even look up.

"."

"No, it's this card," Ash said, placing the card on the dining table.

"It looks like an invitation," Xiaoxia said curiously as she leaned closer.

There is a button here.

As Jiaozi spoke, he tried pressing it.

"Thorn-"

The card lit up, and a holographic projection appeared on it.

It was a woman, dressed as a priest, with her hair completely covered.

"Hello, I am the butler of the world's number one trainer."

"We will invite accomplished trainers to visit and exchange ideas."

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

"Great! I didn't expect I'd already caught the attention of the world's number one trainer!"

Dimensional Smart was extremely excited.

"Fool!"

Xiaoxia punched Xiaozhi.

"This looks like a scam no matter how you look at it."

"But is it really necessary for scammers to send physical emails? Especially with the most expensive Express Delivery service."

Xiao Gang carried over a bowl of soup and placed it in front of everyone.

"It seems so."

Xiaoxia tilted her head in distress.

Finally, everyone's eyes were fixed on Natsume.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Natsume was baffled.

"Natsume-nii, do you think I can go?"

Xiao Zhi waved the card in his hand.

"That's a letter from Mewtwo. Do you want to go?"

Natsume raised the Master Ball in his hand, pointed it at the sun, and wiped the dust off its head.

"Ah—that fierce Pokémon!" Xiaoxia shrank back upon hearing this.

"Mewtwo. Isn't it a Pokémon? Why does it call itself the world's number one trainer?"

Xiao Zhi looked on with curiosity.

"It's nothing to worry about, we've fought the Hypnotic Tapir before."

Xiao Gang blurted it out, then thought about it and felt it was a bit strange.

"Of course I care!" Ash exclaimed angrily, his sleeves flaring.
"What makes it think it's the world's number one trainer? I haven't agreed to that!"

"."

"In that case, you're planning to keep your appointment?"

Natsume stretched.

"Of course, I will defeat it!"

Ash is still upset about losing to Mewtwo last time.

He reviewed the situation many times and finally concluded that Natsume-san was right!

Let Pikachu command you in battle, and you might just win.

That's how he beat Infernape last time; it was much faster than his first one-on-one battle with Infernape!
"In that case, let's go back and prepare properly."

Natsume stood up.

He had originally planned to spend these two months working on his thesis.

However, it seems that we need to deal with the situation with Mewtwo first.

With half of Mewtwo's divine power taken away, it's very likely that Mewtwo will approach it soon.

At that time, I can also conveniently collect information about a clergy member.

Each piece of information about a divine position is like a Masterball-level scratch-off lottery prize.

Natsume thought about it and felt it was a good deal.

I can always come back myself and stay up a few more nights.

"But is this really reliable? I received an email out of the blue."

"Then we need to go to Kuye City to catch a boat and go to a remote island overseas."

Xiaoxia still shrank her neck.

"It sounds like the beginning of a horror movie. Wait for me, guys!"

Seeing everyone packing up and leaving, Xiaoxia had no choice but to follow.
