Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 256 Lollerton VS Mage Bird

"Don't worry, Mr. Asu, there won't be any problems."

As Natsume spoke, he handed a small notebook to Jiaozi.

That was an observation manual.

"Write this down for me," Natsume instructed.

"Hmm? Natsume, when did you start researching super evolution?"

Xiao Gang glanced at the small notebook and was slightly taken aback.

"Water it."

Natsume yawned.

The League reimburses all expenses for researchers, including tuition, accommodation, travel, and even the cost of training their own Pokémon.

The corresponding obligation is that researchers must complete two "study assistance targets" each year.

Of course, the league won't make things difficult for you.

The indicators cover a wide range of topics.

Academic, public welfare, etc. are all acceptable.

This year's first half-year scholarship quota was secured by the Hualan City children's publications.

The lab won't be completed until next year, and my doctoral application will be approved around that time.

Before that, Natsume still needs to meet the targets for the second half of the year.

Coincidentally, Natsume discovers that the Academy of Sciences in the Carlos region is recruiting volunteers on its official website.

Volunteers participating in drug trials.

This thing is a perfect match for me.

Thinking that Mewtwo would be there to back him up, Natsume applied for over a hundred bottles of gene-suppressing drugs for different Pokémon in one go.

"Are you sure it's okay, Natsume?"

Asu gripped the Mega Evolution Key Stone tightly and brought Pidgeot to Natsume's side.

Seeing that Asu was still worried, Natsume patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Mr. Asu, you must know the Alliance's operating style. They only dare to use something if the success rate is very high."

"I guarantee that before this, absolutely no Pidgeot has ever had any problems after taking this gene-suppressing drug!"

Natsume patted his chest and said confidently.

"Is that so?" Asu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

“But…” came the questioning voice of the proud child.

She tilted her head, looking at the small notebook in her hand with a puzzled expression, and said:
"But Mr. Natsume, there are no experimental records before this—hmm!"

Natsume, expressionless, silenced the proud boy with a kiss.
"So my Pidgeot is the first of its kind!?"

Asu exclaimed in terror.

His heart jumped into his throat.

"Pokeby, remember this: never eat anything Natsume gives you!"

Xiaoxia held Togepi and whispered a lesson to him in a corner.

"Don't worry, Mr. Asu, everything will be fine!"

Xiao Zhi encouraged them.

"hope"

Asu looked at Pidgeot with some concern.

I observed for two hours, but nothing unexpected happened to Pidgeot.

"It seems there are no problems, Mr. Asu. You can try to Mega Evolve Pidgeot."

"Inside the battlefield," Natsume suggested.

"What should I do?"

Asu clutched the Mega Evolution Key Stone, somewhat at a loss.

“Biga—”

Pidgeot came over and rubbed its face against Asut, seemingly to encourage it.

however--

"Whoosh!" The Mega Evolution Key Stone in Asu's hand suddenly shone brightly.

At the same time, the white light of evolution began to appear on Pidgeot's body.

"So easily!" Xiao Gang exclaimed in astonishment.

"That's normal. The deeper the bond with your Pokémon, the easier it is to Mega Evolve."

Natsume nodded slightly.

He had his own reasons for choosing Asu.

Through countless rescue operations, the bond between Asu and Pidgeot has become incredibly strong!

“Biga—”

In the glow of evolution, Pidgeot's body suddenly swelled!

"prick--"

With a flap of its azure wingtips scattering white light, Magia Pidgeot appeared before everyone!
"that is!"

Ash instinctively pulled out his Pokédex.

[Mage Pidge is not currently being promoted. If you cannot obtain it through legitimate means, please call the reporting hotline.]

Xiaozhi: "???"

“Gana—”

The eagle cries out to the sky, flaps its wings gently, and appears in the air as if by teleportation.

Compared to the common Pidgeot, the Mage Pidgeot is not only larger in size, but its most striking feature is its crest, which resembles a long braid that extends all the way to its tail.

[Mega Pidgeot, LV62]

"Success!"

Asu was extremely excited.

Unexpectedly, he was the first among all the gym leaders in the Kanto region to come into contact with the Mega Evolution system.

I've heard that Dynamax might be rolled out in Kanto and Johto in a couple of years!
"In that case, let the battle begin!"

Natsume's voice rang out:
"Lollerton, Zapdos Tablet!"

"Ok."

Loletton responded. Unlike the Pokémon series Rotom and the mobile phone Rotom, the Loletton customized by Natsume has a language module specially implanted in the motorcycle body.

As Lollerton's voice faded, a stone slab popped out of the small box and slammed into the slot.

"Electricity + Flight, learned!"

A cold, electronic voice emanated from Loletton's body.

In an instant, a burst of golden and white light erupted, rippling across Loletton's body like waves.

The originally ferocious skull spikes softened at this moment, eventually transforming into a platinum-gold auspicious cloud shape.

Loreton (Zetzart's Slate Form), LV58

"It can freely change its type? What kind of Pokémon is this?!"

Asu looked at Loletton, who had transformed, in shock.

"Crazy Volt!"

With a wave of his hand, Natsume sent Loletta transforming into a bolt of lightning that swept towards Mega Pidgeotto.

"Tornado, blow him away!"

Astray reacted quickly, and with a gentle flap of its wings, Mega Pidgeot created two storms that enveloped Loreton.

However, they severely underestimated Lollerton's speed.

"Boom boom boom——"

The lightning bolts entered the tornado without causing any obstruction; instead, they created a series of sonic booms!
"Get out of the way!"

Asu's pupils contracted, and the figure of Mega Pidgeot vanished from its spot.

When it reappeared, it was already 10,000 meters in the air.

"Biga?"

The Mega Pidgeot flapped its wings, looking somewhat dazed.

Firstly, it didn't expect its speed to be so fast after its super evolution.

Secondly, what about its competitors?
Where's that platinum-colored motorcycle?
Suddenly, I heard the sound of an engine behind me.

"Bi-ga!"

The tire, crackling with electricity, slammed into the Pidgeot.

Feathers scattered, and disbelief filled the eyes of the Super Pidgeot.

Its current speed is so fast that even it is startling.

Lollerton was even faster than him, and so fast that he couldn't even detect him!

"boom!"

Loreton, carrying Mega Pidgeotto, landed straight down like a bolt of lightning, creating a large crater in the battlefield.

"Super Pidgeotto is unable to battle. The winner this time is challenger Natsume!"

The referee raised the victory flag high.

"Big Bird, you've worked hard."

Pidgeotto reverted to its Mega Evolution form and was retrieved into its Poké Ball by Ash.

"Rotom's new form? Its speed is truly astonishing."

As Asu spoke, he looked at Loletton with a curious expression.

However, before he could take a few more glances, Loletton was taken back by Natsume.

"Sigh, there are still many things that give me a headache."

When it comes to his Pokémon, Natsume has a lot to say but can't express it.

Dragonite needs modification.

A middle part hairstyle is a way to temper one's will.

Masterball Rotom is still under development.

The little groundhog has a split personality.

Zapdos still doesn't know where to find the flame of competition.

Now that Loletton has arrived, Natsume thought things would be a bit easier for him; at most, he'd just have to raise another Porygon.
However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Natsume discovers that after Loletton changes its attributes, it is a complete "blank slate"!
A blank slate with absolutely no skills!

In addition to a good base stat distribution and a suitable ability, other factors to determine whether a Pokémon is suitable for battle are also important.

Skill pool is also an extremely important key factor.

Its impact on Pokémon is even greater than the former two.

As its name suggests, the Tutu dog is a breed found on the roadside.

However, thanks to his skill in sketching, he has developed a comprehensive skill pool, allowing him to maintain a place in various battles.

Mewtwo, as its name suggests, has very high base stats.

However, the opponent is often jokingly referred to as "Mewtwo is still making a comeback!"

Besides its largely useless abilities, Mewtwo's move pool is also a major point of criticism.

The skills it can learn are somewhat lacking, and its special attack and physical attack moves don't match its base stats.

In comparison, the ability to learn all skills and the excellent balance of the game make it much more popular.

As for Lollerton's situation:
Benefit: By changing attributes, Loreton can theoretically learn all skills.

Disadvantage: His future skill machines will probably all end up in the other party's stomach.

"Ah~ Ash, you can take on the challenge, I'll keep a record."

Natsume yawned, casting a shadow over the battlefield.

The original Natsume had lost much of her enthusiasm for rewards below S-rank.

But now that Loletton is a big spender on skill-based machines, Natsume has no choice but to pay attention to the daily scratch card rewards.

After all, even if Natsume activated all twenty-odd TMs he had saved up and gave them all to Loletton, it would still only be a drop in the ocean.

Later on, as the other party acquires more attributes, their needs will only increase.

Although Pokémon can learn some skills through demonstrations.

However, many skills are still very abstract and difficult to learn through verbal instruction and demonstration.

For example, shared fate, magic space, etc.

There are also some skills that Natsume is unsure whether Loletton can learn due to his physiological structure.

For example, spitting out, swallowing, drinking milk, etc.
