Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 197 Crystal Rock Snake

"Ah, Mr. Natsume, hello. My name is Agu. I apprentice in the processing of glass art."

The man wearing a headscarf quickly stepped forward and introduced himself.

The other person was about to say something, but Natsume interrupted them beforehand:
"You're looking for me because of the Crystal Onix?"

"Natsume-nii, how did you know!" Ash peeked out from the edge of the screen, looking astonished.

"Glass handicrafts are still found in the southern islands, except for Penggan Island. I've heard about the legends there."

Natsume's voice rang out.

When Natsume first became Professor Oak's student, he sensed that the Crystal Onix could trigger system challenges.

Therefore, he also took advantage of various expeditions to the Orange Islands to inquire about the area, but to no avail.

Perhaps the other party's whereabouts were too mysterious, and they were simply not meant to be.

Of course, it's also possible that I wasn't knowledgeable enough at the time.

For a systemic problem to be triggered, in addition to the Pokémon meeting specific conditions, the Pokémon itself must also possess the knowledge to solve the problem.

Otherwise, even if the Crystal Onix stands in front of you, the system task will not be triggered.

"Mr. Natsume, please help me!"

Agu suddenly pleaded:
"I must see the Crystal Onix with my own eyes. Only then can my skills reach a new level!"

Agu stared intently in this direction.

"You saw it?" Natsume was taken aback.

"That's easy."

The next second, Ash received a message on his Pokédex.

Natsume sent a video.

Xiao Jian curiously clicked on the video.

The video is short, only about one or two minutes long.

The recording location appeared to be a volcano crater, with visible hot air rising and the space seeming distorted.

"Isn't this Blaine's gym?" Ash asked curiously, peeking out.

"That's it!" Xiao Jian exclaimed, pointing to a spot on the lava.

It was sparkling there, and a lithe figure moved back and forth within it.

"Crystal Rock Snake!"

A large rock serpent, its body translucent like crystal, darts through the molten lava, its clear facets refracting a dazzling light.

The crimson liquid, carrying steam, rose and reflected off the crystal scales, making them shimmer and sparkle like molten rubies.

"This!!!" Agu's breathing became rapid.

"Wait a minute, Agu, didn't you say that the Crystal Onix lives in a lake?" Xiaoxia seemed to have remembered something.
"Besides, Natsume, didn't you fail?" Kasumi asked with a strange look.

“Yeah, Natsume-kun, are there other Crystal Onix out there?” Ash added.

"Mr. Natsume, please tell me, it's very important to me!"

Agu's nose tingled, his hands trembled slightly, and his face showed an expression of extreme excitement.

This tough man was trembling with excitement!

"It's special effects, I did it with special effects."

Natsume took the apple that Jiaozi had washed and handed him, took a bite, and said matter-of-factly.

The main reason was that he couldn't find the Crystal Onix at the time, and he was really unwilling to give up.

He wondered if he could transform a regular Onix into a Crystal Onix.

Unfortunately, it failed. In order to fool the league for the time being, this video was created.

Fortunately, Red Lotus Island turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as the blasting created a cluster of hot springs, turning it into a tourist destination.

While organizing the data, he unexpectedly discovered the water-coated cultivation method for Onix, which was something he could at least complete.

"Alright, Mr. Agu, your wish has been fulfilled!"

Natsume clapped his hands, everyone was happy, everyone was happy!
"what?"

Agu stood frozen in place, Xiao Jian's mouth dropped open, and an eerie silence fell over the room.

"I knew it!" Xiaoxia sighed, rubbing her forehead.

"But Natsume-nii, aren't you very interested in special Pokémon?" Ash asked Natsume curiously. "How about this," Natsume thought for a moment and sent a document.

"Once you find the Crystal Onix, see if you can persuade it to test it using my method and provide some data."

"What is this? I can't understand it at all!"

Ash looked at the Pokédex from left to right, and he and Pikachu on his shoulder both looked completely bewildered.

"Ken!" Natsume suddenly raised his voice.

“Mr. Natsume, I’m here!” Ken immediately stood at attention and came in front of Satoshi.

"Would you like to see if you have the potential to become a researcher?"

"Yes!" Xiao Jian answered without hesitation.

"I'll give you a task."

Natsume's expression suddenly turned serious.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Jian gasped for breath and nodded heavily.

"Mr. Natsume, please speak!"

"What I sent you is a research guide. After reading it, I can guarantee that you will be able to independently explore the origins of the Crystal Onix."

"So, are you confident you can complete this independently?"

Natsume's voice suddenly rose an octave.

"Of course, no problem, Mr. Natsume!" Ken was so excited he was trembling all over.

It must be true, absolutely! Mr. Natsume values ​​himself highly!
"Okay, in that case, good luck to you all."

Natsume waved his hand and hung up the call.

Meanwhile, Jian imported the files from Ash's Pokédex into his own Pokédex with great hope.

The first few pages are filled with densely packed data.

These are the experimental data from Natsume's experiments at the Crimson Island crater.

Xiao Jian had read a lot of literature before, and upon seeing this scene, he immediately understood that Natsume himself had done research on the Crystal Onix.

It's almost done.

Now all that's left is to find the real Crystal Onix to verify some of our hypotheses!
Suddenly, Xiao Jian felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

He turned to the next page with great joy.

The items mentioned above are all achievements made by Natsume himself.

Only what comes after that is what he needs to do; Natsume gives him the real guidance!

"With Mr. Natsume's level of expertise, he must be very professional!" Xiao Jian exclaimed happily as he opened the book.

As expected, Natsume's long speech came to an abrupt end, and the text became extremely concise.

only.
"Why are they all websites?" Xiaoxia asked, puzzled.

"Let me see"

Ash popped his head out and read aloud, word by word, the very short passage that Natsume had written:

"You may be my student, Professor Oak's new student, or a student's student."

"No matter who you are, you are in luck. If the project you take on is successful, either a new type of Pokémon will be added to the Kanto region, or a new regional form will be added."

"Your chance to have your name in a textbook is right in front of you!"

An opportunity to be featured in textbooks!?

Xiao Jian's eyes were immediately filled with these words.

Mr. Natsume is indeed a professional; he always gives this opportunity to others!

Xiao Jian excitedly looked at the website below.

You need to understand the regional distribution of Pokémon forms. Click to view the Pokémon Regional Form Distribution - Kanto Edition.

'You need to know all the physical indicators of the Onix, click here.'

'You need to know about extreme cases of Onix, including those recorded in the League of Legends. Click here.'

Looking at the hundreds of websites, all of which were just little classes with old men chanting scriptures, Xiao Jian felt a bit of a headache.

Isn't this a bit too technical?
