Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 252 Sakaki paid all your social security contributions.
"Hey, hey, hey, your Pokémon is really gone! Why aren't you doing anything about it?!"

Xiaoxia was furious. She grabbed Kojiro by the collar and lifted him up.

"What do you mean by James's Pokémon, meow? That Gyarados was released long ago, meow."

A weak, meowing sound came from the other end.

"Release animals? If you released them, why are they here?"

Xiao Zhi asked curiously.

"Also, all beautiful and elegant Water-type Pokémon are good kids!"

Xiaoxia glared angrily, but Kojiro was still clutching his throat and hadn't recovered.

"Young Master Kojiro's friend, why don't you tell me what's going on?"

Natsume turned around and instantly appeared in front of Meow Meow and Musashi.

"I want to eat!"

Musashi murmured, his eyes vacant.

"Yeah, meow, why don't you treat us to a meal, meow? We've been starving for days, meow!"

Meow Meow rubbed her hands together, looking at Joey beside her with a hint of fear.

Natsume understood what they meant.

Although the Rockets are moving closer to the league under Sakaki's intention.

But those are mostly businesses owned by "Rocket Company".

The underground portion is buried even deeper.

When the three of them see Joey and Jenny, they instinctively try to avoid her.
"no problem."

Natsume pointed to the dining table not far away.

In an instant, the trio appeared at the dining table as if they had teleported, even bringing their own bowls and chopsticks.

The medical services at the Pokémon Center are free, and almost anyone can access them unless they are stripped of their rights for life by the League Court.

As for meals and accommodation, as long as you have paid social security, you can enjoy a 90% discount by swiping your card and entering your information.

"Gulp—" Kojiro's face returned to normal, and he frantically swallowed his saliva.

"Meow meow meow, this is the first time I've ever eaten at a Pokémon Center!" Meowth excitedly rubbed its hands together.

"And they're doing it so openly, it seems like Joey here doesn't even know us," Musashi whispered.

The trio's discussion was barely audible, yet Natsume still managed to catch it precisely.

He paused for a moment, then curiously searched for information about the trio on the machine at the Pokémon Center.

Does this mean the Rockets have only so-so influence in the Chengdu area?
He remembered that the underground leaders in the Kanto-Jiwa region were all Team Rocket.

"what--"

Natsume raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

“It’s so delicious, meow!”

"After eating, I'll have the energy to catch Pikachu!"

"Waaaaah—what were we eating before?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, I heard everything!" Ash protested.

At the dining table, a small mountain of plates was piled up in front of the trio.

Instead of slowing down, the eating speed increased.

In the end, the Rockets' trio piled their plates on the next table.

"Hey, how long has it been since you guys ate?" Xia looked at them speechlessly.

"Meow~" Meow Meow, clutching a toothpick, lay sprawled on the seat with her big belly.

"Speaking of which, don't you guys kidnap Kojiro all the time?"

Natsume spoke, his expression full of confusion.

Since discovering the amazing use of James, Team Rocket, while not exactly wealthy, are certainly not short of money.

"It makes me so angry just thinking about it!"

Enraged, Musashi punched Kojiro, who was rubbing his stomach, knocking him and his chair to the ground.

"Yeah, meow, that bastard Kojiro, every time we extort money, he donates it all!"

Meow Meow was equally indignant.

"A donation?" Natsume was taken aback.

Suddenly, he remembered that a long time ago, Jiro had told him that Kojiro's two friends were kind-hearted and did charity work in various ways.

"I've said it several times, I won't use that old man's money!"

Kojiro, feeling indignant, tried to stand up, but found he was too full and had no choice but to lie on the ground, raising his hands in protest.

"Oh~" Natsume nodded slightly.

It's likely that Kojiro realized that the Gyarados was a Pokémon his father had intentionally sent him when he released it.

"You bastard, you don't need to let us use it, meow!"

Musashi flew into a rage, and Meow Meow flashed out its claws.

Seeing that the trio was about to fight, Natsume's eyes flashed with a dark blue light, and he immediately separated the three of them.

"Even so, with the money I withdraw for you, Meow Meow, you shouldn't end up starving, right?"

"I asked Natsume curiously."

"This...meow."

Meowth's eyes searched the Pokémon Center.

Finally, it found the figure with the middle parting in Chansey's pocket.

"It's you, Pikachu, meow! You eat eight meals a day and devoured all the food on our strategic balloons, meow!"

"That's right, it even went to sleep on top of the hot air balloon, causing it to go out of control!"

Kojiro suddenly stood up and rebuked him.

"No wonder you guys fell from the sky with the middle-parted haircut." Ash nodded thoughtfully.

Natsume was stunned.

My appetite has definitely increased these past two days, which is a bit unusual.

The divine fragment, which the other party cherished dearly and would polish three times a day, has disappeared.
"Anyway, thank you, see you next time!" After eating and drinking their fill, the trio instinctively wanted to slip away, but bumped into Officer Jenny at the door.

"Oh no, meow!"

Meow was terrified.

"Don't be afraid. As long as those kids don't say anything, they definitely won't recognize us." Musashi and Kojiro disappeared as if they had vanished.

“Miss Officer Jenny, their names are Musashi, Kojiro, and Meow Meow.”

Natsume's voice suddenly rang out.

"Oh?"

Officer Jenny was taken aback and turned to look at the trio.

"What are you doing, meow!" Meow meow scolded Natsume.

"Kojiro!"

"Musashi!"

The two exchanged a glance and then reached for their waists.

"Musashi, Kojiro, meow meow?"

Officer Jenny was taken aback for a moment, then her face lit up with a smile:
"So it was you guys. You've turned over a new leaf, that's commendable."

As she spoke, Officer Jenny walked straight toward Asu, having come to hand over the few guys who had climbed the mountain without permission.

The trio stood there, stunned.

"What do you mean by turning over a new leaf?" Everyone looked completely bewildered.

"Meow, is she humiliating us?" Musashi looked down at Meow.

"I don't know, it might be encouragement-based education." Kojiro nodded cautiously.

"You little brat, meow!" Meow gave Kojiro two swipes and then jumped onto his head.

"Hmph, it seems Officer Jenny from the Chengdu region has no idea how powerful our Team Rocket Special Operations Group is!"

"In that case, let's make our name known at the Pokémon Center in Violet City, meow!"

Meow Meow announced with great momentum.

"Hey, hey, hey, Natsume-nii just treated you guys to a meal."

Xiao Zhi stepped forward.

"Hahaha, turning your back on someone is a villain's fine quality!" Musashi laughed.

"You're not part of Team Rocket anymore, so what's with the villains and heroes?"

Natsume's voice rang out.

Looking back, I saw him sitting behind a pile of plates, his eyes glued to his phone, casually picking up a leftover apple and chewing it with relish.

"Natsume, what do you mean by this?"

Kojiro frowned.

"Young Master Kojiro, please take a look."

Natsume clapped his hands, and his Rotom phone flew to the trio, displaying its contents.

That's the official website for the Alliance's social welfare and security.

The information displayed was clearly that of Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth.

The trio immediately sensed something was wrong.

Generally speaking, the information they can find on the alliance's official website is usually within the city management or public security system.
"Why am I registered as James's Pokémon, meow!!!"

Meow Meow glanced at it and immediately flew into a rage.

"Get off!"

Kojiro and Musashi each pressed down on Meow Meow, their bewildered eyes fixed on the personal information on the phone.

"I'm a philanthropist? I don't even know myself, wait a minute."

Kojiro remained silent. In recent days, he had donated all the money his father had sent him, which seemed to amount to a little over a hundred million.

"How did I become Kojiro's sister?" Musashi was even more confused.

"I know, meow! It must have been you, Natsume!"

Meow suddenly jumped up and stood on top of Musashi and Kojiro's heads, pointing at Natsume with great conviction.

What are you three doing?

After finishing her business, Officer Jenny looked at the trio with a strange expression and said:
"If someone has difficulty integrating into modern society, our police station has special training courses for those who have reformed."

Officer Jenny said earnestly.

"Hmph, meow, you can't shake my will!" Meow crossed her arms.

What are you talking about?

Natsume's voice echoed softly:
“I checked, and Sakaki fired the three of you a long time ago, about two months ago.”

"Impossible!" came the unanimous exclamation.

"What do you mean it's impossible? Look, Sakaki paid your social security contributions last month."

As Natsume finished speaking, the page displayed on the Rotom phone changed, showing Musashi and Kojiro's social security information.

"Paying Unit: Changpan City Rocket Company"

The trio, dumbfounded, read the words aloud.

"Boss Sakaki...he...he really..." The trio turned their heads stiffly, their faces full of disbelief.

"Wow, congratulations! You'll be able to enjoy the benefits of the Pokémon Center from now on," Ash added, not forgetting to tease them.

"Meowh ...

“Wahahahaha—”

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

The trio broke down in tears, then charged recklessly, smashing the glass of the Pokémon Center without even realizing it, before leaving in tears.

"What happened to them?"

Xiao Zhi tilted his head.

"Pica-"
