Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 275 The Manifestation of Desire
Under Snowden's astonished gaze, Ash pulled out the Golden Rod.

"This is?"

Before Natsume could speak, Snowden darted closer and carefully stroked the golden rod in Natsume's hand.

He keenly noticed that there were also many unknown totems on the golden staff.

"A golden, unknown totem?"

Snowden frowned.

If the truth is as he thinks, and the dormant state of the Unknown Totem is indeed this kind of writing, then he has never seen a golden Unknown Totem.

Natsume noticed the other's confusion, opened the treasure map in the encyclopedia, and handed it to Snowden.

"Huh? When?"

Ash looked left and right and realized that what Natsume was holding was his own Pokédex.

"The King of Light? A Golden Unknown Totem?"

Snowden's face immediately contorted; he was now experiencing a headache.

"Forget it, whatever kind of unknown totem it is, it's all very dangerous anyway, so it's better to put it away."

Snowden looked at the golden rod in Natsume's hand with a hint of lingering fear.

"Not necessarily. The golden rod is very stable, and it can also control the black rod."

As Natsume spoke, he waved his golden staff, and dozens of black staffs that had been taken out floated in the air, circling around him like flying swords.

"Moreover, these black rods can also absorb the power of others."

As Natsume spoke, he instructed Ash to throw a punch at the black stick.

"See, it's all useless. Senior Brother Snowton, there's no need to be so afraid."

Natsume turned around and found that Snowden had already escaped hundreds of meters away, watching him from afar.

"Put it away, put it away first!"

Snowden shouted.

Natsume put away all the black rods, leaving only the golden rod in his hand, before Snowden dared to approach.

He had only studied a few dozen clay shards engraved with unknown totems when dozens of these unknown totems came to life and destroyed his home, almost causing him to be sucked into the black hole.

Natsume has over three hundred black sticks in his hand!
At that moment, Snowden suddenly felt a little fortunate.

Fortunately, under Natsume's influence, Xiaomei became much more cheerful. On the day the Crystal Tower erupted, she ran out to play. Otherwise, even though he could walk, Xiaomei definitely wouldn't have been able to.

When he was five meters away from Natsume, Snowden stopped.

"Come out, Kangaskhan!"

Snodon released his Pokémon.

He placed the baby kangaroo on his head and jumped into the kangaroo's pouch.

"Doctor, what are you doing?" Xiao Gang and the others approached.

"Just in case anything unexpected happens, the Kangaskhan can take me away immediately."

Snowden warned.

He was originally the type to do experiments rather loosely, but after collaborating with the laid-back Natsume a few times, he became extremely meticulous.

"Why is everyone in Professor Oak's lineage like this?"

Xia looked at Natsume and Snowden in front of her, then thought about Masahiro, her expression slightly strange.

She already had a rough idea of ​​what Xiao Jian would become in the future.

"Okay, these black bars and this gold bar are from when we were in the Orange Islands."

Natsume sat down cross-legged and began to give Snowden a brief introduction.

After he finished speaking, Snowden rolled his eyes:
"To put it simply, you know nothing?"

"Nonsense, otherwise why would I come to you?" Natsume said indifferently.

Snowden was silent for a while, then slowly spoke:
"There are many descriptions in academia regarding the power of unknown totems. Some say they can change the weather, some say they can create illusions, and some say they can influence time and space."

Snowden paused for a moment at this point:
"I also tend to believe that unknown totems can influence time and space, since changes in these two things can indirectly affect what was mentioned earlier."

"But this study doesn't seem to be the case."

Snowden's brow furrowed even more as he spoke.

"When I first felt that the unknown totem on the clay would come to life, the ending was probably already predetermined."

"What do you mean?" Ash asked curiously.

"What I mean is that unknown totems will manifest in reality according to what people desire in their hearts, and this manifestation is usually very extreme."

"For example, at the time, I felt that they should come to life and cause changes in space and time."

"And then it really came back to life, and your house became like this?" Natsume continued. "Yes, these crystals indirectly confirmed my idea."

Snowden pointed to the crystal tower and said:

"Those sixty-four unknown totems are still inside the Crystal Tower. Their power influences this place. As long as you get close, you can see what you desire in the reflection of the crystals. What are you doing!"

Snowden was furious. He realized that halfway through his speech, Natsume, Satoshi, and the others had all run towards the Crystal Tower.

"Wow! You're really good at resisting temptation!"

Snowden looked at Xiao Gang with approval.

"Cough cough." Xiao Gang remained silent, only shaking his head repeatedly.

Outside the crystal tower, in front of a huge crystal.

What do I yearn for?

Ash excitedly rubbed his hands together, and his figure slowly emerged from the crystal, seemingly in a competition arena.

Behind him stood Pikachu, Charizard, and many other Pokémon he didn't recognize.

"Yay! I've become a Pokémon Master!"

Xiao Zhi was overjoyed.

"Me? Me? Great! I've become a Water-type Pokémon too! Why is it Gyarados?"

Xiaoxia discovers that she, within the crystal, is standing on the back of a giant Magia.

Everyone noticed the surprising scene, but Natsume's eyes were completely empty.

"The complete framework of the Rotom mech is missing."

"Then all of Rotom Technology? No, not here either."

"If all else fails, tell me how to locate other parallel universes, but there's still no response."

Natsume was deeply disappointed.

"Are you making a wish with this?" Snowton's voice echoed softly behind Natsume.

As Snowdon appeared, his reflection appeared on the crystal in front of Natsume.

Soon, a beautiful woman appeared on the crystal. She was holding Snowton's shoulder, and between them was Little Beauty with a bright smile.

Clearly, this is what Snowden desires.

Natsume turned around, ready to see what Ash, Misty, and the other two were longing for.

Natsume froze on the spot, his pupils trembling, after just one glance at the crystal in front of Ash.

"What's wrong, Natsume-nii?"

Ash turned around and looked at Natsume with a puzzled expression.

Natsume didn't speak, but tremblingly took out his phone and took a picture of the scene on the crystal in front of Ash.

"Kacha!"

The scene freezes, showing Ash holding a huge trophy.

Behind him, the figures of Pokémon appeared one after another.

Pikachu, Charizard, Bulbasaur—that's normal.

But Greninja, Sceptile, Dragonite, and Krookodile.
Everything that hasn't happened yet, every single Pokémon is included!
This is definitely not something that manifests one's inner desires.

Ash longs to become a Pokémon Master, but he has no idea which Pokémon he will catch after that!

"Wait, there's no Gastly." Natsume said in a deep voice.

"Yeah, where's Gastly? Natsume-kun, it seems to have evolved into Gengar."

Ash pointed to a chubby purple figure in the crystal.

"No, that's another Gengar."

Natsume shook his head.

This Gengar was caught by Ash in Alola in the original storyline, while the Gastly that Ash owns now was caught with his own intervention.

They are two different individuals.

Moreover, the Pikachu in the crystal has a normal tail, unlike something that has been trained with steel reagents.

Natsume's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Perhaps the current situation is not as simple as just a manifestation of your inner desires.

This is clearly a manifestation of the version of yourself that you longed to become in a parallel universe and successfully became!
