Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 223 Snorlax

In the days leading up to Loletton's fusion with its shell, Natsume pondered the unknown totem carving on the black rod.

If we consider the 26 letters represented by the unknown totem, can we combine them to form words and discern anything?

Natsume extracted all the unknown totems in order and displayed them on the computer at his workstation.

Unfortunately, even after comparing the arrangement of the unknown totems with the proud son for a long time, no matter how they tried to punctuate them, they could not form a complete sentence.

The fact that a few words can be combined to form meaningful words is also due to chance.

Perhaps this is a summoning item for some mythical beast?

An idea suddenly popped into Natsume's mind.

After all, the birth of the Unknown Totem is inextricably linked to Arceus.

Just as Natsume was pondering, a communication call suddenly popped up on the computer in front of him.

"Mr. Natsume, it's Satoshi!"

"Okay, let me see what good things the Traveling Frog has to do this time."

Natsume opened the communication with great interest.

Is he temporarily taking over Professor Oak's role?

"Natsume-nii—"

As soon as the communication was turned on, Xiao Zhi's panicked face was revealed.

But as if he had thought of something, Ash coughed twice and showed Natsume a white seashell badge.

"I've earned the White Wave Badge!"

"Then keep up the good work," Natsume glanced behind Ash, who clearly didn't seem to be in the gym.

Sure enough, less than three seconds after Ash raised the badge, a small fist appeared out of the camera's view and knocked him to the ground.

"Get to the point, you bastard."

Xiaoxia pulled Xiaozhi away, and the Pokédex ended up in Xiaojian's hands.

"Hello, Mr. Natsume!"

Xiao Jian immediately tensed up.

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

Natsume looked at Ken with a strange expression.

"That's right, Mr. Natsume."

As he spoke, Xiao Jian flipped the picture book over and pointed it behind him.

This is an island, with fruit trees planted all over the mountains and plains.

Every fruit tree in sight was laden with fruit, its branches heavy with weight.

"You got caught stealing pomelos?"

Natsume recognized the type of fruit at a glance and was astonished.

"No, look!"

Xiaoxia suddenly popped her head out and pointed to a spot not far away.

"Kirby—"

The camera started shaking, as if some enormous creature was approaching.

"Kacha——"

Two pomelo trees were roughly pushed aside, and a huge Snorlax emerged.

Snorlax casually swept several clusters of pomelos into its arms, then opened its mouth wide and swallowed them along with the branches and leaves.

"Natsume-san, this Snorlax has almost eaten all the pomelos on the entire island!"

Ash popped his head up again, gesturing wildly.

"Yes, this is the result of the hard work of many fruit farmers!"

Xiaoxia nodded.

"Then stop him."

Natsume waved his hand.

"This won't work. Our attacks are basically ineffective, and besides, this place is teeming with pomelos."

As they were talking, Snorlax turned its head, pushed aside the fruit tree beside it, and began to eat voraciously in Ning's direction.

"Didn't I ask Jiaozi to send you a translation software? Communicate with it."

“We tried it too, and it said that it’s fine once you’re full.”

Xiao Zhi looked helpless.

"What about the middle-parted hairstyle? Should we let it keep fighting with Snorlax?" Natsume suggested.

"Middle parting"

The expressions on everyone's faces turned strange.

"Natsume-nii, see for yourself."

Ash turned the Pokédex around, aimed it at Snorlax, and then suddenly zoomed in.

Natsume then noticed a small yellow figure above Snorlax's head.

It had a middle parting and was lying comfortably on Snorlax's head, happily munching away.

Natsume: "."

"Mr. Natsume, please help us!" A woman wearing a headscarf walked over and looked at Natsume pleadingly.

"Here, this is for you."

Natsume sent a document over.

Upon opening it, I found a template for a lawsuit against a Pokémon protection organization.

"Natsume-nii, what's this for?"

Xiao Zhi stared blankly at the lawsuit template.

"Literally, you can seek compensation from the Pokémon Protection Organization."

"Huh? What does this have to do with the Pokémon Protection Organization?" Misty asked curiously, peeking out.

“It’s okay, you can say that they released this Snorlax into the wild.” Natsume waved his hand.

He has no liking for Pokémon protection organizations.

This so-called non-governmental organization, despite calling itself a Pokémon protection organization, has a penchant for making a mountain out of a molehill.

They even used phrases like "ban on experimenting on Pokémon" in an attempt to protest the League and shut down all research institutes.

This group of people had no idea where all the cheap medicines and medical services available at Pokémon Centers came from.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, most of the members in this organization are minors who have not received much formal education.

In addition, due to a shortage of manpower, the league did not have much energy to manage it.

In recent years, the members of this organization have become increasingly brazen, even going so far as to steal other people's Pokémon and release them back into the wild.

Releasing animals is one thing, but releasing them indiscriminately is another.

What are you doing: planting Bulbasaur in the soil, releasing Caterpie into Beedrill's territory, and dressing up the Snowman in a cotton coat?
In the end, it was the researchers who had to clean up the mess.

But this organization is not entirely useless.

Many personal properties have been damaged by wild Pokémon. If you sue Pokémon protection organizations for this, the League Court will be 100% on your side.

Whether it is true or not, it's all on their shoulders.

Therefore, this cerebral palsy organization had been dormant for a period of time.

However, it seems that Natsume has now seen reports about their activities resuming.

"Natsume-nii, isn't there any other way?"

Xiaozhi sighed.

“Yes,” Natsume said, looking at the woman who had been wearing a headscarf earlier.

"Are you in charge here?" Natsume asked.

"Yes, all the pomelos here are contracted out to my family and distributed to other fruit farmers." The woman's face turned pale.

"Snorlax is eating so heartily, and there's no way to stop it anyway, why don't you start a live stream and get people to film more videos?"

"Let's see if we can recover some of the losses, or we can use this as advertising material for pomelos in the future."

As soon as Natsume finished speaking, a sharp glint appeared in the woman's eyes.

"Natsume-nii, is there really no other way?" Ash asked, still feeling a little reluctant.

"Don't worry, Snorlax will stop eating after finishing this one island at most."

Natsume comforted her.

Snorlax ate with gusto, advancing relentlessly and with unstoppable momentum!
In less than half a day, it ate up all the pomelos on the entire island!

Just as Natsume said, after this Snorlax ate all the pomelos on the island, it sat by the sea and began to contemplate life.

It gazes at the pomelo on the opposite bank from afar, which looks incredibly tempting.

However, many workers have already started harvesting them.

The group arrived behind Snorlax and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew—thank goodness Snorlax can't swim!"

Xiaoxia wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

"Who said that?"

Meanwhile, Natsume was holding a small piece of pomelo, chewing it with relish.

Behind him, Jiaozi gritted his teeth and struggled to tear off the grapefruit peel.

After watching mukbang videos for a while, he started to feel a bit hungry too.

However, Natsume still corrects some of the mistakes he hears.

"Most Snorlax can actually learn to swim with training."

As he spoke, Natsume made a gesture:

"Butterfly stroke, despite Snorlax's fat appearance, it's surprisingly well-suited to it."

Over there, the melancholy Snorlax turned its head and glanced at Natsume on the screen.

It imitated Natsume's pose and struck a pose.

"Wait a minute!"

Everyone was shocked.

The next moment, Snorlax jumped into the sea and swam towards another small island covered with pomelos.

Its speed is astonishing!
"Hmm, this Snorlax has a very high talent."

Natsume sensed something was wrong and abruptly shut down the communication.
