Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 203 Half a Stone Slab
This is an instrument.
All the electronic components inside were covered by blood-red crystals, preserved as if sealed in amber.

Moreover, this device looked incredibly familiar to Natsume.

Looking left and right, Natsume was absolutely certain—this was the hand-typed translator he had given to Nyanko!

Could the groundwater here be connected to the city of Amp?
Natsume quickly shook his head in denial.

No, the outer shell of this thing isn't the same two I gave to Meow Meow.

Natsume gave Nyan Nyan two translation machines in total.

The one that was lost was the Meow Meow head shell, and the one that's in Meow Meow's hands now is the Apo Monster shell.

The translator in Natsume's hand, though its outer shell was already white and extremely fragile, was crushed into tiny pieces by Natsume's foot.

However, it's not hard to see that this is likely a translation machine disguised as a Jigglypuff.

With a strange expression, Natsume found a new translator in his system space, which happened to be a cute Jigglypuff shell.

Since Nyanko lost the translation machine last time, Natsume has prepared a lot of them and stored them in the system space.

Break open the Jigglypuff's outer shell to reveal the electronic components inside.

Upon close comparison, the two are almost identical.

These translation machines have a very simple structure; they were all handmade by Natsume using small, unwanted parts.

"Um"

Natsume suddenly fell silent.

He turned around and looked at the gruesome death of Mugentana, then turned back to look at Rotom, who was floating to the side, looking somewhat bewildered.

Surely this Eternatus couldn't have been blasted away by the future Rotom mech, could it?

After a long pause, Natsume shook his head.

He won't do things that are meaningless.

"Kacha!"

The Jigglypuff translator that Natsume had taken out suddenly made a sound.

Natsume was startled and instinctively used his telekinesis to hold down the other party, thus interrupting the latter's transformation.

Suddenly, Natsume had a flash of inspiration and looked excitedly at the two Jigglypuff translators in his hands.

If this broken chubby translation machine could transform, maybe it would know something!
"Don't let the chip break! Don't let the chip break!"

Despite knowing the chances were slim, Natsume continued to pray in his heart.

As long as the chip isn't broken, he just needs to disassemble some parts from his own Pawpack Translator and replace them with the Pawpack Translator!
Having made up his mind, Natsume sat cross-legged, his eyes flashing with a deep blue light.

After checking, Natsume breathed a sigh of relief.

The broken Fat Ding translator didn't actually have a broken chip inside!

Natsume carefully used his telekinesis to scrape away the red crystal bit by bit and removed the chip.

“Nintendo Toys Ltd.” Natsume read aloud the small print on the chip.

He was suddenly stunned.

These translation machines were modified from Pokémon smart toys that Shigeru didn't want.

It seems that even if any company releases...
No way, I really did it?
Natsume glanced at the remains of Mukyuu Tana behind him and raised an eyebrow slightly.

So what happened in the future?
Natsume was unaware of the reason, so he directly removed the chip from the good chubby translator and prepared to replace it with the chip from the bad chubby translator.

Suddenly, Natsume's pupils twitched, and his fingers froze in mid-air.

'Rendang Toys Co., Ltd.'

The names on the two chips are different!
If it wasn't him, then who was it?
The outcome was now uncertain, which made Natsume feel somewhat uneasy.

This similarity, yet also a slight difference, evoked a chilling feeling in Natsume's heart, much like the pseudo-human effect.

"The company names can't be that similar, can they?" Natsume frowned.

Never mind, let's fix it first.

Natsume quickly installed the chip from the bad chubby translator into the good chubby translator.

"Kacha!"

After attaching the Jigglypuff shell, Natsume withdrew all of his psychic powers.

Soon after, the Fat Ding Translator began to deform.

"Click—click-click!"

A sound like a glitch rang out, and Natsume witnessed an incredibly classic head-to-tail swap.

After transforming, the little ears of the Jigglypuff Translator became feet, and its entire body became perfectly round.

It stood there motionless.

"can you hear me?"

Natsume activates his telepathic abilities.

"Jiggling Warrior, let's go!"

A soft, sweet voice suddenly rang out from inside the translator, startling Natsume.

After a long while, Natsume finally realized that it was the toy's built-in voice.

"Can you hear me?" Natsume activated his telepathy again.

Judging from his interactions with the laboratory equipment, these things, once brought to life, could communicate with each other.

"Jiggling Warrior, let's go!"

Jigglypuff repeated the sentence, and Natsume shook his head regretfully.

Unfortunately, the other party didn't have a very powerful chip, or even any at all; it could only accept fixed external commands and repeat that sentence.

After it came back to life, its intelligence level was completely outmatched by the Giant Dragonite.

Natsume suddenly felt a pang of regret; he shouldn't have tricked Gorilla into watching "Sailor Moon" when they were kids.

If the other person is interested in a more advanced intelligent robot or similar toy, then this might be the toy chip that allows communication.

Just as Natsume was filled with regret, the Jigglypuff robot suddenly shrank, its limbs and ears all shrinking into a ball.

"This is."

Seeing that the chubby translator had started rolling, Natsume quickly followed suit.

The former followed the skeleton of Eterna and rolled straight toward the surface of the water.

Natsume was extremely curious about the whereabouts of the Jigglypuff Translator. A faint blue light flashed, and telekinesis paved the way to ensure its unimpeded passage.

"Jiggling Warrior, let's go!"

A sweet voice echoed in the space, mingling with the sound of flowing water, and drifted away into the distance.

Soon, the Fat Ding Translator stopped in front of a cliff.

"here it is?"

Natsume looked at the large hole in the cliff face, which was the end of the water source. A steady stream of underground water flowed out, forming an underground lake.

The shallow underground river outside is supplied by the lake.

"Jiggling Warrior, let's go!"

The Jigglypuff Translator landed on the shallows of the lake and began to bounce around, but each time it was about to touch the water, it was stopped by Natsume's telekinesis.

"Underwater?"

Natsume muttered to himself as he arrived at the shallow water where the Jigglypuff Translator was bouncing around.

He reached out and wiped away the mud and sand at the bottom.

The muddy water receded, and half a stone slab lay quietly at the bottom of the lake.

"This thing doesn't have any functions similar to Rotom's Dark Aura, does it?"

Natsume picked up the half of the stone slab, looking puzzled, and shook off the water droplets.

Below, the chubby translator was already bumping against its own trouser leg, looking rather impatient.

Natsume put the stone slab down, and the latter rolled onto the slab and exploded like a Bakugan.

"Jiggling Warrior, let's go!"

With a sweet voice, the chubby translator shattered with a loud crash, splashing water all over Natsume.

Natsume watched silently as the Jigglypuff translator suddenly shattered.

The next second, a black aura slowly emanated from the shattered chip and surged toward the stone slab.

The moment the black aura touched it, a golden chain appeared on the stone slab.

The black aura merged into the golden chains and disappeared.

Natsume was stunned when he saw the golden chain.

He seemed to have seen those ancient Pokémon when they left.

"Wait a moment!"

As if he had thought of something, Natsume tossed the Mewtwo Ball into the air.

Rotom-2 understood and slipped inside.

"And then, Rotom the Motorbike!"

Natsume called out the name of the missing limbs of the motorcycle, Rotom.

"Unleash black mist toward the Dream Ball Rotom!"

Natsume's expression hardened, and he watched intently as the black mist merged seamlessly into the Mewtwo Ball Rotom.

The next second—

"boom!"

Several golden rays of light burst forth from Rotom the Dream Ball, forming golden chains identical to those on the stone slab.

The chains emerged, taut instantly, and like two strong magnets attracting each other, they sank into Rotom's chest.

The next second, the Dream Ball Rotom suddenly appeared on top of the Motorcycle Rotom.

"boom!"

Golden chains firmly connected the two machines, and the Mega Dream Ball Rotom flattened the original machine head and replaced it!
"Combined?"
