Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 296 Rescue Operation
"Didn't you ever have any doubts?"

Natsume looked at Nyan and Musashi strangely.

"What do you suspect, meow?" Meow asked curiously.

"Alright, come with me."

Natsume silently brought Meow Meow Musashi back to the teahouse, where the private room with the middle-parted hair came in handy.

In the private room.

"What! A hideout!"

Meow and Musashi exclaimed in unison.

"Damn it, it's always been Team Rocket who bullies others, no one has ever been able to bully Team Rocket, meow!"

Meow Meow rolled up Natsume's sleeves, ready to rescue Kojiro.

"Meow Meow, when did you become so brave?"

Musashi looked at Meow Meow with surprise.

"Ah, didn't Natsume say he still has 200 million yen in savings?"

Meow Meow turned its head, only to find that Natsume had rolled up its sleeves and then smoothed them back down.

"The problem caused by the man with the middle parting should be resolved by himself. You can discuss it with him."

Natsume looked at Meow Meow with a half-smile.

Meowth shrank his neck.

It felt a little uneasy if Natsume didn't go.

"Pickup!"

As they were talking, the door opened, and a figure with a middle parting appeared.

"Pikapi!"

The man with the middle parting gestured to those behind him.

A short while later, a group of deliverymen, each with a wrist brace, carried in many large boxes.

"Pickup!"

The man with the middle parting skillfully scanned the QR code to transfer the money, thus sending the deliveryman and the wrestlers away.

"What did you buy, meow?"

The cat curiously approached.

"Kacha!"

The man with the middle part carefully closed the door to the private room, first went to Natsume, patted his chest heavily, then pushed the cat aside and opened the package.

It was a pile of steel pipes and parts.

The second, third, and fourth packages were opened, and inside were some Pokémon food.

The man with the middle parting didn't even glance at the Pokémon food; he simply took out the small packet of black powder from the food.

"Why would you buy this specifically for breeding fire-breathing camels?"

Musashi looked curiously at the several boxes of Pokémon food.

"Camel, a fire and ground Pokémon, has gunpowder added to its food for seasoning."

Natsume explained, then looked at the man with the middle parting with a strange expression.

The other party has already taken that huge pile of parts and started assembling them.

"Wow, you have the potential to be a member of the Rockets!"

Meow Meow looked at the man with the middle part and felt a surge of admiration for his talent. It then volunteered to join the man's poaching device manufacturing process.

With Meowth joining the team, all the other parts, except for the several large boxes of Pokémon food, were assembled, and the middle-parted hair was fully armed.

"Looks like teaming up with someone with a middle parting isn't so bad, meow!"

Meow was pleasantly surprised.

"In that case, let Kojiro be the one to split his hair in the middle, and then the three of us will devise a battle plan!"

The three of them quickly gathered together.

Natsume held his teacup and watched silently from the side.

As everyone knows, the trio has never succeeded in stealing Pokémon.

The trio has never failed in their fight against organized crime.

"Wait a moment!"

Natsume seemed to have thought of something and looked at the person with the middle parting.

"Pikapi?"

With her head parted in the middle, she tilted her head and looked at Natsume with a puzzled expression.

"Where did you get the money to buy these things?" Natsume narrowed his eyes.

"Pickup truck!" Loan!

He proudly puffed out his chest, his hair parted in the middle.

Natsume: "?"

Meow Meow: "?"

Musashi: "?"

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.

Musashi and Meow Meow even consciously distanced themselves from the middle-part hairstyle.

"Pikapi?"

The boy with the middle parting looked at them, puzzled, and gestured with his two short hands:

"Pikachu, Pikachu, Pikachu—"

Since we're going to take them all down anyway, we might as well take all their funds through loans beforehand.

A middle parting indicates clear thinking.

Natsume: "?"

Meow Meow: "?"

Musashi: "?" "You're a genius, meow!" Meow Meow stood there, stunned.

Musashi excitedly pulled out his phone:

"Quick, tell me how to do it. This is my League ID, and Kojiro's too."

Meanwhile, Natsume dialed Satoshi's number:
"I sent you this link, please have everyone try it out."

At the Pokémon Center, Ash clicked on the link in a daze.

Miare Financial

"Huh?" Xiao Zhi was confused.

"Even Natsume's account got hacked this time?" Xia exclaimed in surprise.

Ultimately, with the help of the man with the middle parting, Natsume opened over a hundred black cards and embezzled nearly a billion yen.

"What a pity, meow, a single card can only borrow a maximum of ten million."

Meow Meow and Musashi looked at Natsume with longing.

"Hey, hey, middle-parted hair bro, can you give me a few tickets too?"

The meow snuggled against the cheek of the person with the middle parting in a fawning manner.

"Pickup!"

The man with the middle parting shook his head seriously.

No, that won't work. Too much of it will definitely raise suspicions.

With his hair parted in the middle, he held a small aluminum can in his hand and walked out of the private room.

To outsiders, it looks like a Pikachu with a small backpack, a hat, and drinks hanging from its waist.

Inside the private room, Natsume held a teacup, his eyes fixed on the street below.

He has already informed Officer Jenny, and she is secretly bringing people over.

I wonder if the guy with the middle parting was able to sneak in on his own before that.

With their hair parted in the middle, Musashi and Meow Meow were at an intersection, seemingly discussing something.

They noticed that among the pedestrians on the street and the figures passing by the office buildings, there were always a few repetitive ones.

Those appeared to be office building employees, disguised as passersby keeping watch around.

"Are you sure you want to just swagger in, meow?"

Meow Meow stared in shock at the middle-parted hair.

"Pika Pika Pika" and so on, like this and that.

As she listened, Meow Meow's eyes widened.

Street No. 112.

"Meow!"

A mournful meow rang out.

Two figures were chasing each other quickly down the street.

At the very front is a Pikachu, dressed up in exquisite detail and even wearing "clothes".

Chasing after it was a cat with rough fur and covered in mud.

It looks like someone's pampered Pikachu has gone missing and is being attacked by stray cats.

This thought popped into everyone's mind.

"Tch, this Pikachu is raised so meticulously, it's not good at all."

"Pfft! He even styled his hair."

At the entrance of the office building, three passersby watched with great interest the chasing cat and the middle-parted hair.

They've been pretending to be passersby patrolling here every day, so it's great that they can finally stop and watch some fun.

"In my opinion, wild ones are definitely stronger."

"Strong? No, look how skinny that cat is—ah!"

As the man was speaking, the cat jumped in his face and started scratching him wildly.

In the chaos, the man with the middle parting ran straight up from the entrance of the office building.

"Go away!"

Meow Meow was kicked away.

"Meow!"

Meow Meow then ran into a side alley.

"That Pikachu was chased inside by Meowth," came the voice of his accomplice.

"Just have someone throw him out. There are events in Yuanzhu City these days, so keep a low profile."

The other man helped his injured accomplice into the office building.

In the elegant tea room, Natsume took in all of this.

They actually managed to sneak in with the middle-part hairstyle.
"Bang!"

The door to the private room opened slightly.

"Enter."

Officer Jenny, dressed in plain clothes, with her hair up and wearing a mask, walked in.

“Mr. Natsume, I have brought the structure of this building. The expert team is discussing the containment method.”

Officer Jenny placed a drawing in front of Natsume.

"Hmm, did you contact Joey?" Natsume asked after a moment of silence.

“Joey, uh, we have two accompanying medical personnel, that should be enough,” Officer Jenny said after thinking for a moment.

"not enough."

Natsume shook his head.

"Ugh?"

Before Officer Jenny could even ask a question, a violent explosion rang out inside the office building!
