Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 204 Rotom Fusion Technique
Natsume stared in astonishment at the two Rotoms that had merged into one.

Suddenly, joy and another indescribable emotion welled up in my heart.

Good news, it seems that Rotom fusion doesn't require a special method; it can be achieved by using the black mist to unite different Rotom units.

Bad news, does this mean all my previous drawings were for nothing?
Natsume raised an eyebrow slightly, carefully examining the merged Rotom.

Because the Dream Ball Rotom is quite large, it looks ridiculous with the Motorcycle Rotom perched on its neck, resembling a big-headed doll.

The fact that the opponent's arm had been ripped off by the giant Dragonite made the incongruity even more pronounced.

"Rotom, how are you feeling?"

Natsume looked up and asked Rotom about his condition directly.

“Lotom—” Rotom shook his head.

It felt terrible, as if two forces were churning inside it.

"Two forces?"

After pondering for a moment, Natsume examined the Rotom system.

[Electric + Super Fighting]

Rotom's attributes are unpredictable; besides its stable electrical attribute, its secondary attribute constantly switches between fighting and superpowered.

It seems that Rotom's different attributes will conflict when they combine.

Natsume frowned.

Does he intend to create five Rotoms with the same attributes?
That's impossible; that would contradict my own design.

Natsume lowered his head and focused his gaze on the stone slab in his hand.

This thing can even bear the weight of powerful deities, serving as a temporary vessel.

It shouldn't be too difficult to temporarily store the power of one attribute for Rotom, right?

Natsume tried to use his telekinesis to manipulate the half-stone slab, slowly moving it toward Rotom.

"Release a little black mist onto this stone slab," Natsume instructed.

"Loto!"

This time, Rotom released a thin wisp of black mist with great difficulty.

The moment the black mist surged into the stone slab, the gradually dimming golden chains on the slab suddenly lit up, shot out, and pierced the black chest of the motorcycle Rotom.

The next second, the chains pulled, and the stone slab merged into the motorcycle Rotom's body.

On Natsume's panel, Rotom's attributes continued to change.

[Electric + Fighting Super Dragon. Poison. Fighting]

The original two attributes kept changing, but now four attributes keep changing.

"Dragon + Poison?"

Natsume understood; this was the attribute of Mugentana.

Rotom merges with the stone tablet that once housed clergy, and it seems he can temporarily possess the attributes within it!
"Can things stabilize?"

Natsume softened his voice and asked in a low voice.

Rotom nodded blankly, seemingly searching for a solution.

After a while, the system's assessment showed that Rotom's attributes had stabilized.

[Electric + Fighting]

"Can we try changing the attribute?" Natsume's eyes lit up as he looked nervously at Rotom.

Rotom nodded.

The next second, the attributes changed.

[Electricity + Superpower]

Seeing this, Natsume looked excited. Before he could speak, Rotom changed his attribute again.

[Electricity + Poison]

[Electric + Dragon]

"Can we try multiple attributes?"

Natsume asked patiently and persuasively.

“Lotom!” Rotom shook his head.

If that thing inside him were bigger or more numerous, perhaps he could give it a try.

After understanding Rotom's meaning, Natsume nodded slightly.

It seems he'll have to collect stone tablets with different attributes from now on.

Furthermore, we need to find a way to better match these stone slabs with the Rotom locomotive's body.

"In that case, the torso of the Rotom mech might be a good alternative to the Rotom motorcycle."

The torso is large enough to hold more stone slabs. Natsume could then create a monster with maximum offensive and defensive capabilities.

"Rotom, try moving around a bit."

Natsume spoke, but Rotom stood still, without making a move.

"Rotom!"

Rotom shook his head.

You said you felt very clear-headed, but your limbs felt very weak?

Natsume realized that the Rotom's machine was probably too bad.

"I understand."

After recalling the two Pokémon and placing the stone tablet into the system space, Natsume walked out of the lake and stared intently at the remains of Eterna.

After a while, he pulled out a chainsaw.

May the departed rest in peace.

"If fate allows, I will avenge you."

Natsume placed the chainsaw across the wreckage of Mugentana, then pulled out three incense sticks from somewhere, lit them, and stuck them into the protruding cliff face.

"Boom boom boom——"

The chainsaw roared and sparks flew everywhere.

"Boom-"

The chain broke, and the chainsaw was damaged.

"Wow, this black carapace is incredibly hard!"

Natsume looked at the piece of carapace he had cut in astonishment; there wasn't even a white mark on it!

"Hiss—this seems to be a bit troublesome."

Natsume frowned.

He planned to take some of the Void Tina shells back with him as materials for the construction of the "Millerton Rotom".

But now, although the shell is indeed very strong, he can't cut it apart at all!

Even the remains of Mugentana, after being buried for a long time, had become one with the rock layers embedded within it, making it impossible for Natsume to directly store them in his system space.

Helpless, Natsume could only pick up the small fragments that were already there around him.

The more Natsume picked up the items, the worse his mood became.

He felt that the armor that was shattered in that battle must have been the weaker part of Mujita's body.

The good quality ones, the ones that weren't broken, are all on the wreckage!
The duck meat was right in front of him, but he found he couldn't chew it and could only drink some duck soup. Natsume had mixed feelings.

He sat on Wujitai's protruding rib, looking up melancholically at the cave ceiling.

Natsume wondered if he could go up and try to persuade Professor Oak to give up exploring this place.

Otherwise, if the Alliance intervenes, I'll probably have to wait until the Alliance scholars have figured out how to get my hands on any fragments of the Wujitai armor.

That would be a long time coming!
Suddenly, Natsume's pupils contracted, and the red crystal clusters on the cave ceiling were reflected in his eyes.

The clusters of red crystals descended down the rock wall at one end, spreading all the way to the bottom of the lake, and finally quietly climbed up to this end, connecting with the remains of Eterna.

These crystal clusters seem to contain very strong maximal energy.

Natsume waved his hand, and a crystal cluster the size of a fist appeared in his hand.

Inside the crystal cluster, countless blood-like threads were scattered everywhere, shaking as if they were liquid and could even flow.

Natsume was astonished when he probed into it with his telekinetic power.

This thing contains far more Dynamax energy than the Dynamax Agaric Professor Oak found on the mysterious island!

Most importantly, the Dynamax energy inside this thing is sealed quite well.

Natsume used his telekinesis to scan the area several times, but found no sign of Dynamax energy overflowing.

"This thing can probably be used directly as the Dynamax energy supply for the Dynamax wells in the Kanto region."

"Moreover, if you break it and bury it directly in the soil, it can also grow into a lot of giant mushrooms."

In an instant, Natsume understood the strategic value of these red crystal clusters.

"Moreover, the giant Dragonite has a large fragment of Eternatus's divine power inside its body. If it were to come here, it wouldn't need to do anything; just standing here would be enough to make these red crystal clusters grow continuously!"

Natsume keenly noticed that new crystal clusters were slowly growing from the spot where he had broken off the crystal cluster, which appeared to be the residual power of Mugentai.

Renewable resources have even greater strategic value.

Since it is renewable...

Natsume slowly stood up, and hundreds of manuscripts behind him were lifted up by telekinesis and floated in the air.

He won't be polite.
