Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 242 Ruoye Town, the Proto-Bird
Wakaba Town, Pokémon Center.

A group of people approached from a distance on the road.

The most eye-catching person had a head that looked like a freshly peeled egg, gleaming and radiating a gentle warmth.

"Quick, everyone, make way!"

A group of police officers carried injured Pokémon one after another into the building.

"Miss Officer Jenny, what's wrong?"

Ash stopped Officer Jenny and asked curiously.

"These are the Pokémon of trainers in the vicinity who were attacked by poachers."

Officer Jenny was giving instructions and didn't want to pay attention, but when she saw that it was Natsume and the others, she hesitated for a moment before explaining.

"Huh? There's more than one poacher team!?"

Ash exclaimed in surprise.

"Idiot, judging from the words and actions of those two Team Rocket poachers, there's definitely more than one team involved."

Xiaoxia grabbed Xiaozhi's ear.

"Hey, Natsume-kun, can't you tell Sakaki to stop the other guy from doing bad things?"

Xiao Zhi whispered.

Upon hearing this, Natsume's expression turned strange.

Speaking of which, didn't Giovanni just recently pull off a last-minute comeback and escape death?
How do you still have the time to organize your subordinates to poach?
And this happened at such a crucial moment, just after establishing a relationship with the alliance, and it was done so blatantly.

It's highly likely that someone doesn't want to see Giovanni cooperate with the league.
Things might not be as simple as they seem, so Natsume decided to remain cautious and observe.

"Why don't you talk to Team Rocket?" Natsume waved his hand, passing the question to Team Rocket.

"Meow Meow and the others?"

Xiao Zhi fell into deep thought.

The last time a disaster occurred in the Orange Islands, ships were prohibited from passing through. He was able to reach Zapdos Island by taking Meowth's Magikarp.

After that, no one knows where they went.
"Make way! Make way!"

Anxious shouts came from behind.

Looking back, everyone was stunned.

Among the numerous police officers, three researchers in white coats appeared, and on their cart lay an unconscious bird-like Pokémon.

"Ah, is it Dr. Hollow?"

Officer Jenny looked at the person who was calling out and directed the officers to make way.

"That's Dr. Kongmu, he looks so young!"

Xiaoxia looked at the person leading the way in surprise.

The other person wore glasses, was thin, and had a slightly hunched back when running, showing signs of long hours spent studying at a desk.

"Could it be that the Skywood Research Institute was also attacked?"

Xiao Gang couldn't help but guess.

Seeing Professor Elm and his assistant frantically pushing the cart into the Pokémon Center, the others exchanged glances and followed.

I had originally planned to rest at the Pokémon Center before heading to Elm's Lab to hand over the GS Ball to the other person.

It's convenient to run into each other here now.

"By the way, Natsume-san, what's that Pokémon in your hand? I've never seen it before."

Xiaozhi asked curiously.

“Yes, that bird Pokémon doesn’t seem to be from the Johto region of Kanto,” Brock added.

Dr. Kongmu was in a great hurry, and everyone only caught a fleeting glimpse of his figure.

Natsume, with his superpowers, could see very clearly.

"Archaeopteryx".

Natsume spoke up.

"Archaeopteryx? It's really not a Pokémon from the Johto region of Kanto. I've never heard of it before." Misty looked over curiously.

"Archaeopteryx?"

Ash took out his Pokédex and started searching, only to find that there was no information in it.

"Hmm, if I remember correctly, Archaeopteryx is a Pokémon from the Unova region?"

Jiaozi pondered for a moment.

"Oh"

Ash skillfully switched to the Unova region and quickly found information about Archaeopteryx.

Soon, a picture of Archaeopteryx appeared in the encyclopedia.

Archaeopteryx was about the size of a Pied Eagle, covered in bluish-brown feathers, and its forelimbs, when spread out as wings, had sharp claws.

Its mouth is filled with tiny, sharp teeth, its long tail drags like a lizard's, and when its wings flap, the clear, scaly skin patterns beneath its feathers are visible. At the same time, the voice of the Pokédex sounds:
Archaeopteryx, an ancient bird Pokémon, is a fossil Pokémon resurrected by researchers who extracted genes from fossil feathers.

"Huh? That's strange, why doesn't Archaeopteryx have any racial stats?"

Ash suddenly realized that the Pokédex only contained a simple description, a picture, and a picture of a rock and a flying object.

"Base stats are something that can only be calculated by averaging a very large number of measurements on many identical Pokémon."

Natsume's voice rang out from afar. Turning around, he saw that the other person had already taken their seat in the dining area.

"Huh? What does that mean?" Xiao Zhi didn't understand.

"This means that Pokémon like Archaeopteryx are resurrected, and the population size is not yet sufficient for further testing."

Xiaoxia covered her face and pulled Xiaozhi to the dining table as well.

"This Pokédex is so hard to use! Every time I encounter an unknown Pokémon, I have to switch regions one by one."

After everyone took their seats, Xiaoxia pulled out her encyclopedia and complained.

Since using the League's Pokédex, Misty has been discovering "new" Pokémon every day.

"That's right, Natsume-nii, the Pokédex you had a few years ago is exactly the same as the one I have now!"

Ash seemed to have thought of something and said incredulously.

"this."

Natsume looked up at the sky.

how to say.

The alliance's welfare products are all based on practicality and accuracy.

Regarding the input of new Pokémon data, or other modifications, the Pokédex will automatically update as long as it is connected to the internet, ensuring data accuracy.

Other aspects, such as the operating system and the comfort of the UI, are not within the scope of the alliance's consideration.

This awkward operating system wasn't just a few years ago.

Since the first edition of the Pokédex was published, none of the Pokédex versions that Natsume could find published by the Alliance have been modified.

How about we integrate it ourselves and create a complete regional map in the future?

Natsume thought about it and decided to give up.

Some wealthy young men find the illustrations provided by the Alliance outdated and awkward to use, so many of them seek out custom-made ones.

It's also possible that the league wants to use this to screen out the population covered by welfare policies.

Smoke rose slowly from above, and Natsume remained silent.

"Professor Kongmu is out!"

Suddenly, Xiao Gang pointed to a spot not far away.

Everyone turned around and saw that Dr. Elm was talking to Joey at the platform.

"Hello, Dr. Kongmu!"

As the group approached, they noticed that Dr. Kongmu looked somewhat haggard.

"You are?"

Professor Elm looked at Ash who had spoken, and the next second, his gaze fell on Natsume as if drawn to him.

Staring at Natsume's bald head, Dr. Uraki was slightly dazed. After a while, he came to his senses:
"Natsume? What are you doing here!"

"Delivering something." Natsume touched his nose.

"Oh right, GS Ball, Professor Oak told me you're here to deliver GS Balls!"

Dr. Kumoki muttered to himself.

“Let’s talk at your research institute,” Natsume said.

"Research institute?" Kongmu's expression visibly showed disappointment.

"Natsume-nii, are you blocking people again?"

Xiao Zhi asked curiously.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're all young people. I'm very close to Kuki." Natsume glared at Satoshi.

Elm was a newly appointed Pokémon Professor three years ago. While at Rainbow University, he received instruction from Professor Oak for a period of time because his research interests were the same as Professor Oak's.

Professor Oak is both his mentor and his rival.

Therefore, when he met Natsume, the new student at Oak's lab, Utsuki was naturally overjoyed.
"Didn't you say that my newly built research institute was full of formaldehyde and that you didn't want to go there?"

As if remembering something, a sad expression flashed across Kuki's face before he looked at Natsume strangely.

"Oh, so Natsume has never been to Dr. Utsuki's research institute. No wonder he's different from Mr. Masaki."

Xiaoxia chuckled to herself.

"Zhenghui!"

As if remembering something, Kongmu's face looked even more haggard.
