Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 188 The atmosphere has reached this point, why don't we just cry first?
"Alright, come back, Pidgeot, let's continue!"

Having just encountered the legendary Pokémon, Ash was full of confidence and prepared to recall Pidgeot and set off immediately.

However, when the red light hit Pidgeot, it didn't return to its Poké Ball.

"What's wrong, Pidgeot?" Ash stared blankly at the other.

"Pikachu?" Pikachu seemed to notice something, tugged at Ash's sleeve, and pointed to the forest behind Pidgeot.

There, one after another, Pidgey birds slowly peeked out.

Their eyes shone with hope as they watched the Pidgeot's retreating figure.

"It seems that the Finch and the Pidgeot are still not giving up. If the Pidgeot leaves, they will definitely come back with a vengeance."

Xiao Gang spoke in a sullen tone.

"I see, I understand now."

Xiao Zhi lowered his head, his hat brim obscuring his eyes, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.

From his trembling body, it was easy to see that Xiaozhi's feelings were very complicated.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu tugged at Ash's pant leg in a gesture of comfort.

"Pica-"

On the other side, the middle-parted hair climbed onto Pidgeot's body using both hands and feet, displaying its highest etiquette—falling asleep immediately.

"Pidgeon—"

Pidgeot covered its face, and the feathers on its head gently brushed against Ash's face.

"Waaah—Pidgeot is gone. I'll never have a partner to help me read maps again!" Xiao Gang cried.

Throughout the journey, Pidgeot has been a true workhorse, solving many problems for everyone along the way.

Now that we're suddenly parting ways, it's normal to feel reluctant, unlike when we released the Flying Ba album, when we didn't have the mental preparation to do so.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu burst into tears and charged at Pidgeot, who lowered its head, and the two Pokémon bumped heads together.

What are you doing?

Natsume walked over carrying a large bowl of black, cube-shaped Pokémon food. Behind him were several brand-new feeding devices and a huge, unidentified machine.

"If you have nothing better to do, help me set up the feeder."

Natsume rolled his eyes.

"Waaaa~ Natsume-nii, please don't come out and spoil the mood." Ash cried.

"What's such a spoilsport?" Natsume asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Natsume Hidden Dragon intends to stay and protect its people."

Thinking that Natsume didn't know, Kasumi quickly whispered a reminder.

“I know,” Natsume waved his hand.

"It doesn't necessarily mean releasing them."

"Take out your Pokédex," Natsume said, pointing to Pidgeot.

"Oh." Ash took out his Pokédex in a daze.

Pidgeot, the evolved form of Pidgeotto, can fly at Mach 2 in a vacuum!

"Wow, that's fast!" Ash exclaimed in surprise.

"How far is it from our Ooki Laboratory?" Natsume then asked.

"About four kilometers," Xiao Gang replied after looking at the map.

"That settles it then." Natsume clapped his hands.

"What do you mean, 'got'?" Ash didn't understand.

Natsume's lips twitched as he looked at Satoshi:

Give me Pidgeot's Poké Ball.

Ash blankly handed the Poké Ball to Natsume.

Natsume took Pidgeot's Poké Ball, pushed Pikachu aside, and handed the Poké Ball to Pidgeot.

The latter strangely took it with its paw.

"Listen to me, if you fly at full speed, it won't take more than three minutes to get from here to Oak's lab and back. Then you can go into this Poké Ball and teleport to Ash's hands in just a few seconds."

The more Natsume spoke, the brighter everyone's eyes became.

"So, you can even help Ash finish a battle and come back in no more than ten minutes."

"Bi Diao!"

Pidgeot excitedly took the Poké Ball and hid it in its thick feathers.

"Ah? Can this still happen?"

Everyone was stunned. "I also brought this."

Using telekinesis, they pulled the unknown device floating behind them to the front of the group.

"Just what?"

Everyone looked at the instrument with curiosity.

"This thing doesn't look like a feeding device; it looks more like the teleportation device at Oak's lab."

Xiao Gang glanced at it twice and then made a conclusion.

"Yes, it's a Poké Ball transfer device, and it's solar-powered."

As Natsume spoke, he pulled two huge black panels out from behind the instrument.

"Dr. Nishino is old and has difficulty moving around."

"I'm thinking of training a group of Psychic-type Pokémon to do the feeding job."

“Set up these simple Pokémon teleportation devices around here, so they can be teleported directly into the Poké Balls, saving them the journey.”

As he spoke, Natsume looked at Pidgeot.

"To save you the trouble, you don't need to go to Professor Oak's lab anymore. I will regularly post Ash's whereabouts on these machines."

"If you miss everyone, take advantage of Ash being at the Pokémon Center, enter a Poké Ball, and have a Pidgey help you by placing it in this slot, and you'll be able to meet them."

"In this way, we can save time traveling back and forth, meet in a few seconds, and even return from a battle in no more than five minutes."

Natsume's appearance shattered the previous somber atmosphere, leaving everyone wide-eyed and frozen in place.

Can it still be like this?
Sigh, it seems like that really is possible!
In addition, Natsume spoke so fast that even Pikachu's tears didn't have time to dry.

Slowly, it turned its head to look at the Pidgeot.

Pidgeot looked at Pikachu with a bewildered expression, its feathers, soaked by tears, remaining just as wet as before.

The two Pokémon looked at each other in bewilderment.

The atmosphere has reached this point, so why don't we just keep crying?

"Pica-"

The boy with the middle part angrily grabbed his blanket and jumped off the Pidgeot's back.

What? It thought it was going to lose its flying bed forever.

Why make such a fuss?

As the sun set, it took a while for the stunned expressions on everyone's faces to fade.

"Is technology developing this fast these days, Natsume-san?"

Ash stood behind Natsume, his expression complicated.

He now feels like a wild man isolated from the world.

"If you really have nothing better to do, you could help me install these feeding devices," Natsume's soft voice rang out.

Professor Nishino took Jiaozi to the snow-capped mountains to install it, leaving him all alone in this area.

"Okay, no problem, Natsume-nii, leave it to me!"

Natsume overcame the pain of separation, and Satoshi was full of energy.

"I'm coming too, I'm coming too!"

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia exchanged a glance and then started helping out.

After the installation was completed and they said goodbye to Ash and his friends, it was already dark.

Natsume yawned and headed towards the research institute, preparing to go back to rest.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

A soft rustling sound came from the grass in front of him.

spring is coming?

No, that's not right. It's autumn now, but that's also the breeding season for some Pokémon.

As Natsume held up his phone and was about to approach it, a series of Pokémon jumped out from inside.

A fiery monkey, a hypnotic tapir, and a jigglypuff.

"Roar!"

What did you do to Zapdos?!
The fiery monkey clenched its fists and glared at Natsume with hostility.

Zapdos single-handedly stormed the enemy camp, and his spirit is truly admirable!
But as a companion, I should still try to save them.

"Zetzart?" Natsume was slightly taken aback, then took out a red and white ball.

Upon seeing this, the Infernape's pupils suddenly contracted, focusing on the red and white ball in Natsume's hand.

The situation seems to be different from what it expected.

There's a traitor in the organization!
