Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 202 Deep in the Moonlit Mountains

In the darkness, Natsume continued to dig downwards.

Deep below, the ground was filled with soil mixed with rocks, and Natsume could occasionally sense a few fragments of Mugentsuna's carapace.

But this little bit of stuff is clearly not worth him staying for.

"That's strange, how come it's an underground space with groundwater?"

At this moment, telekinesis became Natsume's eyes, instantly probing the deepest part of the earth.

Unexpectedly, it was a vast space with what appeared to be fluid, likely groundwater.

Was this space created by groundwater erosion?

For a fleeting moment, Natsume felt that he might have gone in the wrong direction.

After all, according to Professor Oak, the direction where Eterna is buried has a high-energy reaction, which he was completely unaware of.

Just as he was about to change direction, Natsume suddenly paused, as if he had made up his mind, and resolutely began to drill into the underground water space.

He suddenly realized that the area beneath the Moon Mountain was composed of solid igneous rock.

How could such a large space be eroded by the water flow?
Natsume immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Kacha!"

The hard stone wall shattered, and Natsume fell freely, stopping in mid-air the instant he hit the water.

The sound of flowing water all around, accompanied by the dripping of water droplets, made Natsume's nerves tense.

With his telekinetic powers fully activated, he explored his surroundings, and in Natsume's mind, the place was as bright as day.

The space here is enormous, with underground water flowing in only a small portion.

What shocked Natsume the most was the overall condition of this underground space.

Its shape is an extremely regular cylinder, and the rock walls are incredibly smooth, as if a cylindrical mold had been used to cut out this underground space, much like cutting tofu.

"It's definitely not naturally formed."

Natsume muttered to himself as he walked upstream towards the end of the water source.

After walking for a while, Natsume felt the temperature suddenly rise, and the surrounding rock walls began to show flowing patterns like lava.

It felt as if a beam of extremely high temperature had pierced through this place long ago.

As Natsume moved around, the surrounding temperature gradually returned to normal.

Finally, Natsume noticed that the surroundings were beginning to come alive, with moss appearing on the cliff walls.

Natsume stared at the small plants that had appeared for a long time before continuing to walk forward.

His steps were slow, and every inch of the land around him was carefully swept over by his telekinetic powers again and again.

Before long, Natsume noticed that some of the small plants on the surrounding rock walls had disappeared, and in their place was the top of his head.

Natsume looked up and his telekinetic powers swept across the dome, revealing that it was inlaid with tens of thousands of black hexagonal prisms.

They resembled black sabers neatly sliced ​​by some kind of shockwave, pointing towards the bottom of the cave at an absolutely precise thirty-degree angle.

A prism was plucked off by telekinesis. Natsume wanted to hold it in his hand to examine it, but it passed through his hand like a dream bubble.

Natsume stared at the falling prism, which silently dropped into the river below.

He felt that it wasn't a stone, but a Ghost-type Pokémon?

As expected, as Natsume continued forward, a swamp appeared in the area where the black prisms were most densely packed.

Black liquid dripped continuously from the prism and disappeared into the river below.

The original river also came to an abrupt end.

"Fire Grass. Ghost. Poison?"

Natsume suddenly realized what was happening.

He quickly walked forward.

After Natsume had walked through a swampy area where the river was filled with water, the vast river reappeared not long afterward.

This time, however, the surrounding temperature became incredibly cold.

"ice?"

Natsume slowly landed, stepping onto the frozen lake surface, somewhat dazed.

He recalled Professor Oak's words; that Eternatus seemed to have suffered attacks from all types. Considering his own findings, it was highly likely that the creature had been destroyed by an attack that combined all types, which in turn pierced through the area, creating the underground space.

Natsume looked up and suddenly stared at the end of the underground water. Without further hesitation, he began to move forward at full speed.

If things go as expected, going against the current, we'll find the other person at the end of the underground space!
Natsume swiftly passed by various strange cave landscapes that reflected different attributes.

The underground river makes a sharp 90-degree turn ahead, where the water flow forms a stable whirlpool with a diameter of 30 meters.

Natsume withdrew his psychic powers, shrinking them to form a psychic barrier around him.

He slowly waded into the water, stepped onto the surface, took out a searchlight, and shone it towards the whirlpool not far away.

The moment the searchlight swept across the center of the vortex, all the beams suddenly twisted into an eerie purple—it was half of a dragon's tail vertebra piercing through the rock strata, its surface covered with boiling, metallic scales.

Looking up along the spine that was nailed into the rock strata, the fractured sternal cavity resembled a blooming flower of death.

Almost all the ribs are deeply embedded in the igneous rock in a radial pattern, and each bone spur extends into a cluster of dark red crystals that is hundreds of meters long, like a waterfall of blood that has been frozen for millions of years.

Not only was he killed by that attack, but he was also pinned to this spot!
Natsume remained expressionless and quickly called out his phone, Rotom.

"Rotom, prepare to record!"

Natsume rubbed his hands excitedly, preparing to touch the corpse.

However, Rotom did not reply to him as usual.

Natsume turned his head in confusion, and to his astonishment, his phone began to transform.

A teeth-grinding crunching sound rang out, and with Natsume's indulgence, the phone eventually transformed into a small, spider-like robot.

At the same time, Rotom was suddenly ejected.

The little spider robot lost its buoyancy and fell into the water with a splash.

The next second, Natsume scooped it up.

"What is this?"

Natsume pinched one of its spider legs and turned to look at Rotom with a puzzled expression.

This is Rotom-2!

"Loto!"

Rotom shook its head. All it knew was that the instant it came out, it felt the phone develop self-awareness and repel it.

"That's it"

Natsume nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

It seems that the thing that caused the drilling rig to move is probably in the vicinity.

Natsume took the lead and walked towards the remains of Mukyuutai.

The skull of Mugentana remains in a roaring posture, its mandible dislocated due to excessive opening, and fluorescent stalactites growing in its hollow eye sockets.

What is most terrifying is the penetrating wound on its chest, five meters in diameter, with the edges of its scales displaying ripples as if they had been melted and recast.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what did they do to deserve this?"

Natsume shook his head, his telekinetic powers scanning the other person over and over again.

Nothing?
Natsume was slightly taken aback.

The priesthood was shattered and fell through the air to various parts of Kanto.

But surely the other half of the stone slab must still be there?

Natsume scratched his head; he suddenly missed his middle-part hairstyle.

If the other person were here, there would definitely be something going on about where they were lying down to sleep.

Natsume landed slowly, finally stepping onto the massive wreckage of Mugenta.

He looked left and right, but found nothing.

"Kacha——"

A crisp sound came from beneath my feet.

"what is this?"

Natsume bent down and picked up a small object.
