Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 234 Return to Pallet Town

“Gana—”

Zapdos let out a long cry, and its flames receded.

It turned around and looked at the remains of the firebird behind it.

"ga"

Zapdos lowered its head, its heterochromatic eyes flashing with an odd light, its expression complex.

Suddenly, Zapdos shuddered and tried to spread its wings.

However, a feeling of tight restraint came over me.

Its proud expression suddenly froze as it looked down at the eggshell covering it.

"That's strange, why did only your head and feet come out?"

Everyone looked at Zapdos with curiosity. It looked like a little baby with a watermelon on its belly, which was rather comical.

"Gah?"

Zapdos was puzzled. It felt that it had grown feathers, and that's when it tried to spread its wings and fly.

"Gana!"

The Zapdos was furious and kept pecking at the eggshell with its sharp beak.

A sound like steel clashing rang out, the force so great that sparks flew out from the hole under the head with each strike of the Divine Zapdos.

However, the eggshell on its body was like a welded iron suit, and it couldn't be removed no matter what it did.

Natsume watched this scene intently.

"Don't waste any more time, come back quickly. It'll probably take you a while to completely shed that eggshell."

Natsume reminded him, and Zapdos shuddered.

As Zapdos hatched, Natsume noticed that some of the intricate golden feather patterns on its body had disappeared.

The rest are still engraved on the eggshell.

The parts that disappeared were precisely the top and bottom of Zapdos's head, where its feet kicked out.

"Gana?"

Zapdos, its legs bulging like a coconut with legs, comically walked from afar.

It came up to Ash and stared intently at Natsume on the screen.

"When you are able to bear this feather, you will naturally be able to break free from it and soar high."

Natsume gazed thoughtfully at the faded feather patterns on the eggshell.

There are twenty left.
"Gana!"

Zapdos nodded and then began to look around.

What is it trying to do?

Xiao Jian held his sketchbook, his pen never stopping.

Seeing that Zapdos had made a new move, he asked curiously.

"Where is the middle parting?"

Xiao Zhi pointed to a beach not far away.

There was a Pikachu with a middle parting hairstyle, lazily lying on the beach, fast asleep.

Next to it, a large pit was dug out.

"Gana!!!"

Zapdos charged aggressively towards the man with the parted head and began taunting him by throwing sand.

It felt better than ever before, stronger than ever before!

"Pickup!"

He turned around with his middle-parted hair, scratched his butt, and ignored it.

It was utterly disappointed with Zapdos—a legendary Pokémon that could never be summoned by a legendary Pokémon.

"Hey, alright, alright, we should get going."

The group carried the remains of the firebird into the large pit that the man in the middle had dug, and then left the island.

"Natsume-nii, where's Shigeru?"

On the ferry back to Pallet Town, Ash asked curiously.

In fact, he made more than 300 video calls to Natsume in two months.

Professor Nishino Mori and his protégé were often seen.

But he never saw Xiao Mao even once.

"I don't know. He said he was too ashamed to go back to Pallet Town, so he went to cultivate."

"Haha, Xiao Mao is such a loser!"

Ash burst into laughter; it was finally his turn to mock Gary.

"But right now, it seems that Xiao Mao has already gone to the Chengdu area to prepare for the Chengdu Alliance."

Natsume thought for a moment and said.

"what!"

Ash's eyes widened, suddenly realizing he'd fallen far behind. "Let me show you!"

As Natsume spoke, he began searching for Shigeru's identity information on the League's official website.

"Yes, the official website for the Chengdu League Trainer Level Certification shows that Gary has already obtained two badges from the Chengdu region."

"This is his team."

Natsume was slightly taken aback when he saw the gym challenge team of the same level as Shigeru.

Those were six Eevee.

Why is this kid suddenly obsessed with Ibrahimovic?
Speaking of which, Eevee has genes that can activate multiple attributes.

These genes are expressed to varying degrees when stimulated by certain external factors, thus evolving into different evolutionary forms with different attributes.

Among the external stimuli, the most common are various evolution stones.

I wonder if Mewtwo can use its authority to completely figure out Eevee.
Natsume seemed lost in thought.

Only eight evolutionary forms of Eevee have been discovered so far.

But this does not mean that the other party only has eight types.

It is very likely that people have not yet discovered new ways to breed Eevee.

In many research institutes, the exploration of new evolutionary forms of Eevee remains a perennial project.

"Damn it, I'm already two badges behind!" Ash exclaimed in exasperation.

"Don't worry, you'll never be able to stay ahead anyway."

As Xiaoxia comforted him, a red line immediately appeared on Xiaozhi's face.
The following evening, Ash and his friends returned to Pallet Town.

Ash and Misty returned to Ash's house, while Brock went straight to Professor Oak's lab.

Oki Research Institute, living room.

Xiao Jian sat nervously on the stool, rubbing his hands.

"Haha, where did you work before?"

Professor Nishino Mori smiled and handed a cup of hot tea to Ken.

"Uh, I'm currently an observer for the Orange Islands Alliance, and my term ends this month."

Xiao Jian blankly reached out his hands and accepted the tea.

"Oh, observer, it seems you're quite interested in Pokémon classification."

Nishino Mori flipped through Ken's sketchbook, nodding repeatedly.

"Ahem." Professor Nishino suddenly coughed twice:
"I was an observer when I was young, and later the League called me to compile the Pokédex."

"Professor Nishinomori is truly remarkable." Xiao Jian nodded cautiously.

"Sigh, Brother Oak has a wide range of knowledge, unlike me, who is only proficient in Pokémon taxonomy."

"Really!" A light shone in Xiao Jian's eyes.

"Haha, of course it's true!"

Nishino Mori also laughed.

This young man named Xiao Jian can be seen in Natsume's videos from time to time; he has been secretly following him for a long time.

Brother Oki only needed Masaaki, and now that he's old, he's mentored Natsume.

That's enough, that's really enough!
He was worried that if he added any more, his brother Da Mu's body wouldn't be able to handle it!
Nishino Mori looked at Ken with a smile, anticipating what he would say next.

"Hearing you say that, Professor Oak is more knowledgeable than I imagined!"

A look of admiration appeared in Xiao Jian's eyes.

Professor Nishino Mori: "."

"Um, Mr. Natsume, are you still not finished with your work?"

Xiao Jian turned his head in confusion and, through the window, could vaguely see Natsume busy with something outside.

"Squeak~" The living room door was pushed open.

A petite woman with a cold demeanor appeared at the door.

"Hello, Miss Jiaozi."

Xiao Jian immediately recognized the other person as Natsume's assistant, who had appeared in the video.

Jiaozi was wearing work clothes, which were covered with strange red and black stuff.

Xiao Jian had never seen that thing before. At first glance, it looked like a huge water droplet hanging on his body.

But Xiao Jian quickly realized that it was solid, and such a large water droplet could not possibly stay on it.

However, as Jiaozi moved, the "water droplets" began to flow.

“Grandpa Nishino Mori, Mr. Natsume said we can take him to the lab first, and we’ll come over when we’re done.”

"A laboratory!"

A sudden glint of light flashed in Xiao Jian's eyes.

He really didn't expect that they would agree to let him into the lab before he even stepped inside!

This is definitely an affirmation of him!
However, once outside the lab, Xiao Jian had a different opinion.
