Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 299 You Gengar Have Extraordinary Talents
"Come here, let me check the situation."

Natsume waved to Gengar.

Gengar squatted on the ground, and Natsume bent down to examine it.

"So, what style suits my Gengar?"

Songye spoke somewhat nervously:

"I've been so busy these past few days. Tomorrow is the last day to register, and I still need to find someone to register Gengar for the competition."

"No need, I have someone here who can register."

Natsume thought of the prodigies; Satoshi, Kasumi, and Brock had all signed up, but the other party hadn't.

Seeing Natsume nodding frequently during the examination, Matsuha gradually relaxed.
"How is it? Isn't my Gengar a great breed?"

"Open your mouth and let's see your talent."

Natsume spoke, telling Gengar to open its mouth.

Pine Needle, standing to the side, was stunned.

Open your mouth?

Gengar is judged by its roundness, isn't it?

Does opening your mouth make your body rounder?

"Open your mouth as wide as you can."

As Matsuba speculated, Natsume picked up a measuring tool and began seriously measuring Gengar's large mouth.

Gengar's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, but thankfully Natsume finally finished taking the measurements.

"A minimum of 500 sticks! Mr. Pine Leaf, your Gengar is truly gifted. It certainly doesn't fall short of Granny Orange's Gengar!"

Natsume praised him sincerely.

"Oh, really? Thank you for the compliment."

"In that case, this Gengar will be with me for the next couple of days. I guarantee I'll get a new look and get you into the finals."

Natsume promised.

"Gengar, you should listen to Mr. Natsume more often."

Watching Gengar's departing figure, Matsuha nodded with satisfaction.

Natsume looks very reliable and professional.

Of course, Songye still had some doubts in his heart.

For example, is "root" a newly introduced unit of length measurement?
When Natsume returned to the Pokémon Center, Ash and the others immediately surrounded him.

"Gengar! Is Granny Orange nearby?"

Xiaoxia asked curiously.

"It must have been just captured by Natsume-nii!"

Xiao Zhi was certain.

Natsume pushed the two aside and pulled Jiaozi over directly.

"Ugh?"

As Jiaozi was puzzled, she saw Natsume hand Gengar's Poké Ball to her.

"Dudu-"

In an instant, a large amount of steam rose from the top of the proud man's head.

Could it be that this Gengar was specially made by Mr. Natsume?
"This is specifically for registering you for the Pokémon beauty pageant."

Natsume then recounted the story of Matsuba.

"Oh, no wonder when we went to the Yuanzhu City Dojo today, they said they wouldn't be accepting challenges for the next couple of days," Xiaoxia nodded.

"So, this Gengar belongs to the Gym Leader of Orb City!"

Ash looked at Gengar with high spirits.

"Geng Ga!"

Gengar thought for a moment, then curled its tongue out to produce a badge and handed it to Ash.

"Huh?" Xiaozhi was stunned.

“You’ve misunderstood Gengar. Without the badge registered with a Gym Leader, it has no effect,” Brock said.

"Gengga"

Gengar withdrew its tongue in disappointment.

"So, Mr. Natsume, you want me to bring this Gengar to the tournament?"

Jiaozi stared at Natsume.

"Yes, I've already thought of the style for you."

As Natsume spoke, he handed over a reference image.

The picture shows a Gengar wearing sunglasses and a suit, exuding a fierce aura.

"Oh, this style is a bit like the gym owner of Viridian City."

Ash thought for a long time but couldn't remember Giovanni's name, so he gestured and said...

"I wonder if this style is too fierce?"

Xiaoxia came closer and asked in confusion.

"No, Pokémon beauty pageants allow Pokémon to dress up. As long as you have a unique style, it's a plus."

As Xiao Gang spoke, he walked over carrying Liuwei.

Liuwei was wearing a white wedding dress, while he was wearing a master of ceremonies suit.

"Xiao Gang, why are you dressed so formally?" Everyone looked at Xiao Gang.

"Hum hum."

Xiao Gang smiled knowingly;
"As a Pokémon breeder, I've never missed a single Pokémon beauty pageant or breeding contest!"

As he spoke, Xiao Gang pulled out a thick notebook.

"I've written down all the key points, the most important one being that the trainer's outfit on stage must match their Pokémon!"

"Oh no? Then I'm doomed!"

Xiaoxia covered her head.

"Clatter clatter~"

At her feet, Psyduck dressed as a magician bumped into Misty.

He fell to the ground, but the magician's hat remained suspended in the air.

"magician?"

Natsume looked at Psyduck strangely.

"Yeah, where am I supposed to find clothes that match a magician's outfit?"

Xiaoxia said dejectedly.

"Just pretend you're a passerby watching a magic show."

Natsume casually flipped over the floating magic hat and discovered that it was powered by a floating brick.

"Yup!"

Xiaoxia's eyes lit up.

She acted as the audience and clapped during Psyduck's performance. Well, it was fairly coordinated.

"Hey, why aren't you dressing up Pikachu at all? Aren't you worried about it at all?"

Xiaoxia glanced over and spotted Xiaozhi grinning foolishly to the side, and immediately felt a little annoyed.

"Huh? Because my theme is trainers and their partners!"

"Me and Pikachu right now perfectly describe this!"

As Xiao Zhi spoke, he wiped his nose.

"All right."

Xiaoxia's lips twitched slightly.

"But Xiaoxia, are you sure you want Psyduck to show its intelligence and beauty?"

Natsume suspiciously turned the magician's hat in his hand.

To be honest, besides the transparent bell, he was also quite interested in the second Pokémon egg.

According to Matsuba, the Pokémon egg was found next to an AI in a research institute.

There is a certain chance that it will be a Polygon's egg.

I just happen to need to train a Porygon to work with Loreton.

"Alright, Xiao Gang and Jiao Zi, you two keep it up."

Natsume patted Kogoro and Kiyoko on the shoulder.

At present, it seems that only those two are reliable.

While everyone was chatting, there was a Pokémon dining area nearby.

Gengar is handing out delicious snacks to everyone.

"Geng Ga!"

Gengar's tongue stretched out very long, and many beautifully packaged milk sticks rolled out from it.

"Gengga, Gengga!"

Gengar happily tore open a milk stick and chewed it with gusto.

Several Pokémon around them, including Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Togepi, each received one.

When it was Pikachu's turn and the guy with the middle part, both of them were clearly a little resistant.

"Geng Ga!"

Gengar poked the two Pikachu with the milk stick in its hand, indicating that it was very delicious.

“Pipika—” Pikachu shook his head, politely refusing.

It has already had its fill of water on the pasture, and for the next six months, it doesn't want to touch any dairy products.

The boy with the middle parting stared at the milk stick handed to him, tilting his head.

A moment later, the man with the middle parting went into Natsume's backpack, rummaged around inside, and finally handed Gengar a thin, black object.

"Geng Ga?"

Gengar looked at the middle-parted hair with a puzzled expression.

"Pikachu, Pikachu—"

"Geng Ga?"

Gengar looked at the spicy mud in its hand, then at the milk stick in its other hand, somewhat skeptical of the man with the middle part.

Skeptical, Gengar gave it a try.

"Geng Huo~"

His sharp red eyes suddenly widened.
