Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 285 Hupa
"boom!"

In the distance, flames could be seen in the sky, and the sound of the explosion was clearly audible to everyone.

"what happened?"

Natsume emerged from the tent, and immediately received a call from the Alliance.

"What? The plane transporting the Sudoku Tree was attacked?" Natsume exclaimed in shock.

Who would deliberately attack a coalition plane?
Besides, there's just a 'nonsense tree' up there, nothing of value.

The old man was furious when he heard that the plane carrying the Nut Tree had been attacked.

"Who, who is it!"

The old man was furious, his hair standing on end, like an enraged lion, glaring angrily in the direction of the explosion.

"Could it be Team Rocket?" Xiaoxia asked curiously.

After thinking about it, everyone realized that only a trio of young people could pull off something like this – young and fearless.

However, when they arrived at the explosion site and found the escort personnel, they discovered that this was not the case at all.

"One fist, a huge fist, blew the helicopter apart!"

The man was wearing a League uniform, and his face showed deep fear.
"I...I didn't even have time to pack my parachute!"

The escorts were terrified and spoke haltingly.

"But why are you alright?"

Natsume watched the other person without showing any emotion.

"yes."

The escort was trembling and looked down at himself.

"I'm really okay. I don't know why. All six Pokémon are here, but Sudowoodo's Poké Ball was destroyed."

As the escort spoke, the trembling man handed Natsume a broken Poké Ball.

The Poké Ball was destroyed in a very "unique" way; its entire top cover was instantly melted away by an unknown force, leaving only a white background.

There seem to be footprints here.

Ash pointed to the side, where Sudowoodo's footprints were.

"You stay here with this old man while we go find the Nonsense Tree."

Natsume gave instructions to the escorts.

The latter nodded vigorously, watching everyone leave.

"Natsume, could he be lying to us?" Kasumi looked at Natsume.

"Yeah, what kind of punch falls from the sky? Even the cartoons that Gary watches aren't this ridiculous." Ash nodded in agreement.

"But he had no reason to lie to us, did he?" Xiao Gang was clearly thinking more deeply than the other two.

"Yes, he works for the League and this time he was escorting nothing more than a nonsense tree. He had absolutely no motive or reason."

Jiaozi shook his head.

In the end, everyone's attention was focused on Natsume.

He remained silent about whether Natsume was behaving extremely abnormally.

Silence, an endless silence.

Natsume followed in the footsteps of Sudoki, walking forward with his head down.

"Nonsense, nonsense!"

Listen, it sounds like the Nonsense Tree is nearby.

Xiao Gang stopped and pricked up his ears.

Without the slightest hesitation, Natsume activated his telekinesis and began a thorough search of the surrounding area.

"Gah-"

A long cry echoed in the sky.

"Ho-Oh!" Ash exclaimed.

"what?"

Natsume looked up and saw a shooting star streak across the sky, dazzlingly bright in the darkness.

Shiny Ho-Oh, not the Crimson Ho-Oh.
But are there any other Ho-Ohs?

Natsume frowned, initially thinking that the illusion from the Crystal Tower was delayed.

Ho-Oh disappeared, and so did Sudowoodo.

“It seems to be here.”

Not long after, Xiao Gang found the footprints of the Hu Shu tree nearby.

Everyone continued to move forward.

"Nonsense, nonsense—"

"Alright, we're sure we'll find them this time."

Ash stared wide-eyed at the surrounding trees.

The 'Nonsense Tree' can disguise itself as a rock or a tree, so you have to look closely.

"Look!" Jiaozi exclaimed, pointing in a direction.

There, the water shimmered, and a blue figure, like an elf, leaped and tumbled through the woods.

"It's Suicune from the photo album!"

Xiao Zhi pointed at the figure and spoke excitedly.

"It really seems so, huh?"

Water Flood comes quickly and leaves quickly.

The only thing that remained the same was that everyone lost track of the Sudowoodo Tree once again.

"That's strange, where's Natsume-nii?"

Ash looked left and right, but couldn't find Natsume.

Deep in the forest, Natsume held a Poké Ball.

"Ding—ding—ding!"

The Sudowoodo was captured, and the Poké Ball stopped moving.

Natsume didn't leave; he stood still. There was no sound from his surroundings.

Natsume patted the Poké Ball containing Sudowoodo in his hand and walked towards the old man.

"Stab!"

The space in front of him suddenly cracked open, and a golden ring appeared.

The small, purple body nimbly emerged from the floating golden ring, first with two curved horns, then with a pair of beautiful heterochromatic eyes.

"Hupa".

Natsume called out the other person's name.

[Ding! A divine beast has been detected. Recording will begin. Please provide more battle data.]

Unlike the Hoopa I always remembered, who always had a mischievous smile, the Hoopa in front of me was expressionless and stared coldly at Natsume.

Hoopa reached out, the ring on his arm trembling, and pointed to the Poké Ball containing Sudowoodo in Natsume's hand.

"Give me the nonsense tree."

A childlike voice rang out, carrying a cold tone that felt utterly incongruous.

"Natsume-san!"

Behind him, Xiaozhi and others came.

"The nonsense tree is here, you guys go back first."

Natsume tossed the ball to Satoshi.

"Natsume-nii, what is it?"

Ash wanted to ask more questions, but Natsume waved his hand.

"okay, I get it!"

Xiao Zhi nodded and returned the way he came without hesitation.

As the Poké Ball was passed around, Hoopa's indifferent gaze shifted from Natsume and settled on Ash's back.

A golden ring appeared behind Hoopa.

However, before he could leave, he was frozen in place by a strange force.

"Battle field, open!"

Natsume stood in front of Hoopa.

[Hupa, LV28]

[This is a God-level battle; you can freely choose which Pokémon to use.]

Such a low level?
Natsume was quite surprised.

For a divine beast to be at such a low level, it must be wasting its time!

"Hopa!"

Hoopa frantically fiddled with the golden ring, but to no avail.

"Stop messing around. You won't leave here unless you defeat me."

A figure with a middle parting appeared in front of Natsume.

Trainer Natsume has dispatched Pikachu Ramón!

This Hoopa isn't a high-level one; a single person with a middle part should be able to handle it.

"You must stop Hoopa!"

Hupa was stunned for a moment, then his face was filled with anger.

"Stab!"

The golden ring in his hand suddenly grew larger, reaching the height of a dozen stories.

Immediately afterwards, Hoopa's body dissipated into particles.

Inside the golden ring, dark purple particles were condensing.

Little Hoopa's arm disappeared, and at the same time, a thick arm climbed up the golden ring, as if something terrifying was about to crawl out from it.

Soon, the enormous golden ring tore through the air, and a dark purple giant shadow slowly appeared. Six arms tore open a spatial rift, the sound of metal rubbing together was ear-piercing, and the air vibrated and buzzed.

[Hoopa activated her divine skill—Parallelism and Co-position!]

Hoopa has entered its Release Mode!

The system voice sounded.

The liberation form is called parallelism and co-position by the clergy Hopa.

Natsume raised an eyebrow slightly.

This was the first time he had ever wanted to catch a Pokémon.

There's no way around it; Hoopa's divine role sounds like it's related to parallel universes.

Perhaps the other person can take me to other worlds.

This way, we won't be too passive.

"Pipika!"

The middle-parted hair was startled; it trembled as it turned back to look at Natsume.

"What's wrong? You're a divine beast too, level 28 to level 100!"

Natsume's pupils trembled violently.

Hupa's stamina bar instantly multiplied dozens of times!
His level is also skyrocketing, almost reaching level 100!
How can a level be increased so quickly?

Natsume was puzzled. Surely it couldn't be that Hoopa ate 72 magical candies in one go?

[Cleric skills - Parallel and Equal Position, already included.]

Natsume eagerly clicked on the details.

The opponent's level increase occurred after they unleashed a divine skill, so there must be some connection.

Hoopa (Liberation), Superpowers + Evil

[Cleric Trait: ???]

[Celestial Skills: Parallel and Equal Positions]

[Parallel and Parallel: Hoopa (Discipline) will seek out the most powerful version of himself in a parallel universe and enter his liberated form!]
