Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 319 Ooki Yukinari
"If you follow this direction, you'll reach Asagi City."

It was getting late, so Zaiyong pointed everyone in a direction and then led a few Growlithe dogs back the way they came.

As darkness fell, the group set up tents and lit a campfire under the treehouse.

The broth was boiling, and its aroma wafted far and wide.

"Gululu~"

In the distance, on the treetop, Meow Meow held a leaf to its nose and sniffed it with a look of rapt attention.

"The little devils' cooking skills are amazing! I can almost taste the meat in the leaves, meow."

As she spoke, Meow Meow tossed the leaf into her mouth.

"Pooh!"

After chewing twice, Meow Meow's expression twisted as she spat out the bitter leaf.

"Damn it, what are those kids doing in such a remote place? I should have bought more food."

Kojiro was listless and unsettled.

"Aren't there canned goods?"

As Musashi spoke, he handed Kojiro and Nyanko a can of unbranded food each.

"Damn it, seeing these cans reminds me of that wretched old man!"

Kojiro was furious.

"It's alright. This is a no-man's land, so it's understandable that they have difficulty getting supplies and sell at higher prices. After all, we can't beat them."

Musashi chewed on the canned food and waved his hand dismissively.

"The price is okay, meow, but this smell reminds me of rummaging through trash cans in big cities. Ugh! Take it away, meow!"

Meow Meow disdainfully pushed the can of food back to Musashi.

“Is it unpalatable?”

Musashi strangely poured the remaining crumbs from the can into his mouth and savored them carefully.

"It's actually not bad."

Musashi nodded and opened another can:
"If you're not going to eat it, I will."

"Whatever, meow."

"There seems to be a Team Rocket executive active here. Should we take this opportunity to defect to them? If we do something good, they might recommend us so we can join Team Rocket!"

Kojiro excitedly pulled Nyanko to discuss a plan.

The trio's conversation was completely overheard by Natsume, who was a kilometer away.

After learning his mother-in-law's identity, he fully activated his telekinetic abilities, and nothing around him could escape his eyes.

Speaking of which, where will Yukinari Oki appear?
This is a very serious question.

Natsume calmly drank the meat soup.

Besides the Rockets, there is another team in the direction of the Lake of Life.

A Primeape, a Hypnos, a Gyarados, and a Jigglypuff.

In their hands were cans of food that had been "centrally destroyed" by the people with the middle parting.

"Natsume-nii, if we travel at night tonight, do you think we can reach Asagi City in two days?"

Ash, locked in his sleeping bag, excitedly poked his head out and asked Natsume by the campfire.

Natsume summoned Loletta, holding a toolbox in one hand and the unknown Pokémon egg in the other.

The chip was removed, and the Pokémon egg in my hand entered it without any hindrance, turning into a stream of data and disappearing.

It's definitely a Polygon egg.

Natsume breathed a sigh of relief.

After reinstalling the chip, Natsume looked at Satoshi.

"We may have to stay here for a few days."

"Huh?" Ash was taken aback.

"Won't we run out of time?" Xiaoxia poked her head out of her sleeping bag.

"Yeah, yeah, that kid Gary has already got eight badges!" Ash's face showed a hint of urgency.

"I think Natsume is right."

On the other side of the campfire, Xiao Gang added some firewood to the fire.

The flames were so strong that they made his face appear red.

“It’s quite dangerous here right now. If we’re here, it will make things safer for Grandma and the others.”

"Everyone!"

Kumi's voice rang out from the stairs of the treehouse.

She came over carrying a plate that looked like hay.

"At night, there are many mosquitoes. Putting these herbs into the campfire can repel them."

Kumi was still dressed in her shrine maiden attire, her figure appearing hazy and indistinct in the firelight.

Thank you.

Xiao Gang took the vanilla, wanting to say something, but couldn't bring himself to say it.

Fortunately, Natsume spoke up:

"Miss Kumi, could you tell us where your mother-in-law met that child back then?" Kumi paused.

"Well, I'm not too sure. My mother-in-law is old, so she probably doesn't know either."

Kumi thought for a moment, then frowned.

"However, you can ask the forest ranger. Others may not know, but he definitely will!"

Kumi smiled and turned to walk into the treehouse.

"Grandpa Laden, how did he know?" Ash, who was curled up in his sleeping bag, poked his head out again.

"Yes, in the story Grandma told, there were only a few people. Did Grandpa Laden outwit and outmaneuver that poacher when he was young?"

Xiaoxia suddenly remembered that in the story her mother-in-law told, there was a poacher who chased Slugby.

As Natsume stared at the firelight, deep in thought, a buzzing sound came from the Loletta beside him.

Looking back, all the black and red patterns on Loletton's body had dimmed, as if he had been forcibly shut down. His whole body was extinguished, leaving only the reflected light of the campfire.

"Is he alright?"

Xiao Gang instinctively took out the first-aid kit.

"It's nothing, it seems like the Polygon is absorbing energy."

After checking it over, Natsume put Loletton back into the red and white ball.

Multilateral Beasts can be subjected to data flow during their incubation stage.

The larger the data flow, the higher the starting point of the emerging multi-faceted beasts.

Within minutes, this polygonal beast egg withstood almost 100% of the chip's computing power, indicating that its talent is among the top tier.

The downside is that Lollerton will have to sleep for a while.

Natsume frowned and released all the Pokémon in his hand.

"Hmm? Natsume-nii, do you suddenly want to fight?!"

Ash's eyes lit up, and he dressed in a second, then picked up the sleeping Pikachu.

"Pickup?"

"Go straight at four o'clock, and you'll find two powerful Pokémon that should be happy to battle you."

Natsume pointed out the location of the Primal Monk to Ash.

"really?"

Ash's eyes lit up and he ran over there.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's dangerous late at night!"

"Gah!" Zapdos, its eggshell still intact, immediately spotted the middle-parted head.

The man with the middle part thought for a moment, then pulled out a can of food and handed it to the other person.

"What?!" The aggressive Zapdos froze in place.

Natsume stared blankly at the group of Pokémon.

Loreton fell asleep.

We can't count on the little groundhog for now.

All that's left is Rotom the Dream Ball, the Mid-Haired Split, and Zapdos.

"Mr. Natsume, isn't it time for bed?"

Jiaozi walked over with two stickers in her hand.

She smiled at her aunt all year round.

Ever since Natsume's head started steaming again, the act of relieving herself before bed has become the most anticipated moment of her day.

However, when the girl got closer, she was surprised to find that Natsume's head was very dry, without a trace of moisture.

"Stop touching it, it won't happen in the next couple of days."

Natsume pried Jiaozi's hand away.

He called a halt to the Mewtwo experiment.

For the next two days, I will most likely need to maintain my peak condition, without any additional psychic power supply.

The last time Natsume encountered Hoopa, he really taught Natsume a lesson.

Each priest has a very unique ability, and one must be extremely cautious until one has figured it out.

Even a seemingly unremarkable mythical beast like Celebi.

"Natsume-nii, Natsume-nii!"

From afar, Ash's urgent voice rang out, waking everyone up.

"You're so noisy, Ash!"

Xiaoxia peeked out impatiently, but upon seeing who it was, she quickly covered her mouth.

Ash wasn't alone; on his back was a boy who had fainted.

The boy was dressed in travel clothes and had short brown hair.

The other person had a youthful face, with a hint of scholarly air.

The moment Natsume saw the other person's face clearly, his pupils contracted.
