Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 250 Air Rescue Team, Asu

Violet City, Pokémon Center.

As soon as everyone entered, they saw a huge poster hanging on the wall of the Pokémon Center.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the poster featured many Flying-type Pokémon, all wearing red and white vests.

"Air rescue team, what is this?"

Xiaoxia leaned closer and discovered that these five words were printed on the vests of each Pokémon.

"Miss Joey! I have a lot of questions about this poster!"

Joey was carrying a plate when Xiaogang stopped her.

She was taken aback and noticed the crowd staring at the poster.

“The snow-capped mountains near Kikyo City are frequently visited by mountaineers, and accidents often occur. Therefore, Ms. Officer Jenny organized a special search and rescue team in the community.”

As he spoke, Joy flipped the poster over; the back also had pictures printed on it, all of them of the Pokémon trainers.

She pointed to the side of Officer Jenny, where there was a man who looked very thin.

"This is our Gym Leader of Violet City, Frye, who is also the captain of the Aerial Rescue Team."

"Wow, he's the Gym Leader, Ash! What are you doing here?"

Xiaoxia paused, then scratched her head sheepishly.

Almost forgot, Ash chased Chikorita to the snowy mountains.

"Accidents keep happening? Are snow-capped mountains dangerous?"

Jiaozi frowned slightly and looked at Joey.

"Hmm," Joey thought for a moment and said:

“Our city of Kikyo has specialized snow mountain activities, but there are also some mountaineers who like to challenge themselves and climb unknown routes.”

At this point, Joey paused:

"Also, it's summer now, and with the melting snow from the mountains, the snow in many places isn't stable enough and is very prone to collapse."

"Entry to the snow-capped mountains is completely prohibited during this season."

Joey spoke with a solemn expression:
"Could it be that one of your companions has wandered into the snow-capped mountains?"

Joey's expression was extremely serious.

"Oh no, could something really have happened to Ash?"

Xiaoxia's eyes widened, somewhat uneasy.

"Natsume, how about we go find Satoshi?"

Xiao Gang stroked his chin and made the suggestion.

"Don't worry, I have a backup plan."

Natsume stared at his phone without turning his head, typing away on it.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions relaxed slightly.

"Puch!"

Joey suddenly laughed.

"I was just kidding you guys. Mr. Asu's search and rescue team is monitoring the snow mountain around the clock. I reckon that guy named Ash will be sent to the Pokémon Center soon."

After saying that, Joey picked up the tray, turned around, and left.

That's it.
Everyone felt relieved and began to rest at the Pokémon Center.

However, after waiting all day, Xiao Zhi still hadn't appeared.

"It's completely dark now, is he really okay?"

Xiaoxia said worriedly.

"Let me see."

Natsume took out Ash's locator, and everyone gathered around and discovered that Ash hadn't moved from one place for a long time.

"Could it be that Ash is resting in the cave?" Brock guessed.

"Or perhaps Mr. Natsume's locator has been lost?" Jiaozi asked in confusion.

"No, I think it was buried in the snow," Natsume reasonably speculated.

Ash's newly caught Chikorita has a very competitive and aggressive personality.

So far, the other party has not acknowledged Xiaozhi.

Unlike Charizard, which is equally fierce but accepts defeat easily, this Chikorita gets angry when Ash knocks it away.

It will require a difficult adjustment period.
"Ah—that's very dangerous!" Xiaoxia clutched her head.

"Don't worry, I have a backup plan," Natsume reassured her.

Everyone was taken aback, remembering the Pokémon Ball Natsume had thrown into the sky. The next day, early morning.

Ash did indeed return.

only.
"Hey, hey, hey, open the door!"

The doors to the Pokémon Center creaked.

Everyone woke up relatively early and went to the door with Miss Joy. They almost didn't recognize that it was Ash.

His trouser legs were frozen solid, and ice crystals fell off with every step he took. The several "corpses" strung together with climbing ropes behind him looked bluish in the morning light.

"Pickup!"

"Chirp?"

Ash's chest swelled up, and after two shouts, Pikachu and Chikorita simultaneously poked their little heads out.

They looked tired, as if they had used up a lot of energy in the short night, and their faces were somewhat thin.

The moment I saw the Pokémon Center, I felt a sense of relief.

"Chirp chirp~"

Chikorita rubbed against Ash's chest, but a few seconds later, it was pushed away by a yellow paw.

"Chirp!"

Chikorita glared at Pikachu, only to find the other looking helpless, with a little yellow paw pressing down on his cheek.

It's a middle parting hairstyle.

"Pica-"

It pressed down on the chrysanthemum leaves and the bark, pulling them apart, and sleepily emerged from between them.

"Crack!"

With her hair parted in the middle, she bent over and stepped out from Xiao Zhi's arms, but as expected, she missed her footing and fell straight to the ground.

Along with a small blanket, like a ribbon being unfurled, it was pulled out of Xiao Zhi's arms.

"Pica~"

With her hair parted in the middle, she stood up, clutching a small blanket, as if nothing had happened.

It glanced vaguely at the Pokémon Center, yawned, and walked in with an air of nonchalance.

"Uh"

Joey stepped aside, staring at the other person in surprise.

"Mr. Natsume, I feel like your middle-part hairstyle looks like you've gotten fatter," Jiaozi whispered in Natsume's ear.

Unlike Chikorita and Pikachu, who looked noticeably more haggard, the one with the center parting looked fantastic, with shiny skin as if he had just finished a big meal.

Natsume's expression was strange, and he didn't reply.

"By the way, what happened to Kojiro and the others?"

Xiaoxia pointed in confusion at the large pile of "corpses" behind Xiaozhi.

Kojiro, Musashi, Nyanko-sensei, Apoko.
They were all frozen into a statue, and Ash dragged them to the entrance of the Pokémon Center.

It's worth noting that Kojiro was being strangled by a Gyarados, and his face turned red and purple, far more so than Jessie's.

"Oh, right, Miss Joey, please save them."

Ash belatedly pointed to the Team Rocket trio.

"Those three are so strange. Suddenly they appeared out of nowhere with their middle-parted hair and landed right in front of me."

Ash stood with his hands on his hips, watching Nurse Joy and Chansey lift the Team Rocket members onto a stretcher.

"Where did you get this climbing rope?"

Team Rocket's trio was carried into the Pokémon Center, and Natsume picked up the climbing rope, examining it curiously.

"Oh, this? When I was going down the snowy mountain, I met an uncle who said he was from the search and rescue team. He came."

Xiao Zhi pointed to the distance not far away.

"Ash!"

As everyone looked over, they saw a man dressed in a windbreaker, fully equipped and bundled up tightly, running towards them, carrying a hot drink in his arms.

He handed a cup of hot coffee to Xiaozhi, breathless.

"My God, how can you walk so fast while dragging so many people?"

The man removed his hood, revealing a face that everyone recognized, with a lingering look of shock on his face.

This kid is simply amazing!
"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Asu, the captain of the Kikyo City Rescue Team. He helped me a lot on the snow mountain."

Ash, holding a hot coffee, pointed to Asu beside him.
