Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 305 The Battle Between Gigantamax and Mega

At six o'clock in the morning, bathed in the morning light, Natsume and Gary returned to the Pokémon Center.

"Sigh, I'll go prepare now."

Gary tossed the clothes he had prepared for Umbreon into his backpack, then turned and walked out of the Pokémon Center.

Before Natsume could catch up on his sleep, the phone rang. It was Professor Oak calling.

"Dr. Oki?"

Natsume yawned.

"How's the situation at Mount Tsukigami?" Natsume asked.

Professor Magnolia has returned to the Galar region, leaving only the construction of the Dynamax Well to be completed here.

"Everything's settled, there are no technical issues, and I'm planning to head back to Pallet Town now."

Professor Oak's voice was filled with a deep sense of relief.

"So, will the alliance put out a tender?"

Natsume remembered his promise to Jiro and Toyama.

"Probably, I'll ask later. But Natsume, I have a mission for you this time."

Professor Oak paused for a moment before continuing:
"Well, you know about the Super Evolution System, right?"

"know."

Natsume nodded.

"Well, before discovering the Eternatus head at the foot of Mount Luna, the Kanto Johto region planned to learn from the Kalos region and gradually promote the Mega Evolution Battle System over the next two years."

"I know. I also took on a task to promote the gene-suppressing agent for hyper-evolution, which I'm using as this year's performance indicator."

Natsume's voice rang out, and his rival, Professor Oak, gasped.

"What's wrong?"

Natsume asked curiously.

"Hmm," Professor Oak's voice carried a hint of embarrassment.
"The thing is, there is a slight conflict of opinion between the Johto and Kanto regions regarding whether to prioritize the Dynamax or Mega Evolution system."

Upon hearing this, Natsume was slightly taken aback.

"So, Professor Oak, which side are you on?"

"Of course I represent Kanto and prioritize the promotion of Dynamax."

Professor Oak is in power.

"Hmm, the bond between Kanto and the Chengdu region hasn't been strong enough these past few years," Natsume teased.

I never expected that even brother regions could have disagreements.

"There's nothing we can do about it; we originally prepared a lot for super evolution."

"But now there are better battle systems."

Professor Oak's helpless voice rang out, and Natsume nodded in agreement.

Compared to the Mega Evolution system, which is under development, scarce, and expensive, the Dynamax system is much more universal.

"So what was your decision?"

Natsume withdrew the message he sent to Toyama and Jiro.

This is still far from being settled.

"Actually, they're all pretty much the same; everyone's sticking to their own version of events, and nothing gets done in the meeting."

Professor Oak then changed the subject:
"Therefore, we each selected a group of trainers, one group to be exposed to the Dynamax system and the other group to be exposed to the Mega Evolution system."

"Using this Chengdu League as a stage, we'll see which trainers can achieve better results and then promote that system."

"Oh~" Natsume nodded meaningfully and said:
"So, they came to me this time to ask me to speak out for Dynamax?"

"Yes, we need to find three trainers in the Kanto region to get familiar with the Dynamax system, and the same goes for the Johto region, we need to find three to get familiar with the Mega Evolution system."

As Professor Oak spoke, he switched to a video call, his expression very serious.

"Simply put, it's just me, Xiaozhi, and Xiaoshi, exactly the three of us."

Although Ash plans to Mega Evolve Mega Mewtwo, given Pallet Mage's physique, he should be able to withstand Mega Evolution followed by Dynamax.

"I know. I've also contacted Gary and sent you the Dynamax Bracelet."

"There are also some crystal clusters. Placing these crystal clusters in a small Dynamax tower can also create a force field that can Dynamax."

As Professor Oak spoke, he took out a cup-shaped object from behind his back and demonstrated by inserting a crystal cluster into the cup.

In an instant, a red light rose from the cup, enveloping the surrounding area.

"no problem."

Natsume yawned; all he wanted to do was go to sleep.

"You'd better be careful, Du is also a contestant this time."

Professor Oak's expression turned serious.

"Who?" Natsume woke up with a start, all sleepiness gone.

"Dragon-type Elite Four member, Lance," Professor Oak said helplessly.

"Oh, I see. He couldn't win the championship in Guandu, so he's planning to come to Chengdu."

Natsume thought about it and realized that there really was such a thing in the original work.

Of the four Elite Four members in the Kanto region, Lance, the strongest, is no match for Lorelei, the Ice-type Elite Four member, while Lorelei is no match for the other two.
After failing to win a championship for a long time, the Dodo flew to Chengdu in a fit of anger and became a champion trainer there.

Champion-level trainers need to defeat several other Elite Four trainers.

One of the prerequisites is winning the local league tournament, which qualifies you to challenge the local Elite Four trainer.

Du is probably here to go through the formalities.
"Speaking of which, as a Kanto native, can't he represent Dynamax?"

Natsume was puzzled.

Dragonite can also Dynamax, so if Lance were his teammate, things would be much easier for him.

"Du obtained the gene-suppressing agent for Dragonite ahead of time. The top officials in Chengdu petitioned together to get it for him."

Professor Oak said with a serious expression.

"Ok?"

Natsume was taken aback. He had indeed seen Dragonite's complete genome in the gene bank, which meant that this Pokémon was already under development.

I didn't expect it to be so fast!

No wonder.

Natsume nodded thoughtfully.

Perhaps the Dragon-type Elite Four member didn't want to reveal that his trump card was Dragonite, and instead pulled out a Mega Gyarados.
"Oh, right, there are two more contestants, them..."

"Alright, alright, I need to pay the difference now." Natsume yawned.

"Okay, remember to pick up your things. They should arrive in the next couple of days."

Before hanging up, Professor Oak gave some instructions.

Natsume swiped the glass back to his room and ran into Satoshi and his friends who had come down for breakfast.

"Natsume-nii, where did you go all night last night?" Satoshi asked curiously.

Jiaozi then came closer and casually sniffed around Natsume.

Hmm. The smell of earth and gunpowder.
"for you."

Natsume handed a talisman to Satoshi and told him not to be afraid if he saw anything evil, and that he could contact Gary.

The two of them were afraid together.

"what?"

Ash stared blankly at the amulet as Natsume returned to his room.

Inside the room, a man with a middle-parted hairstyle lay sprawled out, still asleep.

"stand up!"

Natsume lifted up the middle-parted hair.

"Pickup?"

With her hair parted in the middle and her eyes still sleepy, she looked at Natsume with a confused expression.

"Try to learn how to apply for company registration."

Natsume realizes that with the League promoting Dynamax, he might be able to get a share of the profits.

Most importantly, he now has a little money in his hands.

I never dared to dream of this before, but now I have the ticket to enter.

Whether you can become a professor with a middle parting hairstyle in the future depends on you.

The arduous task instantly fell on the shoulders of the man with the middle parting.

"Pikachu."

The man with the middle parting scratched his head and skillfully pulled out his battle-damaged small phone.

It had no interest in the professor with the center-parted hair.

But there are many things about humans that the center-part hairstyle is very interesting to them.

When it comes to using technology to "take it easy," who can compare to humans?
After yesterday's battle, the man with the middle part was surprised to find that his phone seemed to be broken; the shattered screen only displayed half of the image.

"Whoosh~"

A cell phone box was tossed in front of the man with the middle parting.

"This is new. Consider it a reward for you."

Natsume was exhausted, and his voice grew softer and softer.
