Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 324 Dark Ball

“This…this, I’ve had it since I was born,” Bai Youmu stammered.

"okay, I get it."

Unusually, Natsume did not ask any further questions.

"Natsume-nii, where's the Scizor? Did you chase it away?"

Ash and Yukinari looked around anxiously, very worried about the safety of the Scizor.

"You can go now, I'll handle this."

After saying this, Natsume sat cross-legged inside the huge bird's nest and immersed his mind in the dream world of the man with the middle parting.

On the vast grassland, the giant mantis, which had been running wild and emitting black smoke, was now trapped in a cage, unable to move.

If the other party makes any move, the restraint devices on their body will immediately surge with electricity.

"What is this?"

Natsume appears and finds the middle-parted hair sleeping next to the cage.

"Pika? Pikachu, Pikachu!"

The man with the middle parting opened his eyes and explained to Natsume that these were the homemade traps he had left over from the dream world when he fought Zapdos last time.

Natsume: "."

He had expected a fierce battle to unfold.

It seems that having a middle parting allows you to store more items in the dream world, giving you a significant home-field advantage during battles.

When necessary, you can also bring in friendly Pokémon in advance for a fair one-on-one battle.

Natsume approached and knocked on the iron cage.

"Exactly!"

The mantis struggled violently, bracing itself against the electric current, and slammed into the iron cage.

Its eyes were bloodshot and red. After just a few glances, Natsume understood the condition of this giant mantis.

Very bad.

To be precise, it's exhaustion.

The other person seemed to have been holding on in the tree hole for a long time, without closing their eyes.

Natsume frowned slightly.

In the original story, the poacher's name seems to be Bishad.

A senior executive of the Rockets.

The opponent has a large number of dark orbs.

Pokémon that have been captured by a Dark Ball become numb, obedient, and extremely aggressive.

"Pickup!"

The noise made by the scyther woke up the mantis with the middle part.

Sleeping in the dream world is very comfortable, but there is one downside: unlike sleeping in the real world, you can't be woken up by others.

The man with the middle parting angrily conjured a large hammer and dragged it over.

"Wait a minute," Natsume stopped the other person.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."

Natsume, imitating Ash, used telepathy to communicate with Scizor.

Unexpectedly, the opponent headbutted Natsume's hand.

The palm was pressed against the iron cage and shattered instantly.

Blue particles surged, and telekinesis repaired Natsume's mental body.

He suddenly turned his head:
Give me the hammer.

Under the banyan tree, everyone rested on the spot.

Ash hugged Scizor tightly, using his body as a lock to immobilize it.

"Wow, that's fierce! If it weren't for you, Xiaozhi, I wouldn't dare to apply the medicine."

Xiao Gang abruptly pulled back his hand, which had almost been bitten by the scythe.

Behind Xiaogang, Xuecheng stared blankly at Xiaozhi, wondering how he had managed to do it.

Hyakumoku shifted its intense gaze from Scizor to Ash.

He seems to be even more powerful than this formidable mantis.

"Natsume-nii, is there any way to remove that dark sphere you mentioned?"

Ash's tired voice rang out.

This giant praying mantis seemed to have endless energy, constantly struggling violently.

"There is no solution; this is a ball banned by the league."

Natsume waved his hand.

Pokémon that have been captured by Dark Balls can only escape through their own willpower.

Otherwise, they will maintain high-intensity activity and high aggression until they eventually die from exhaustion.

"what?"

More disappointed than Xiaozhi was Baiyoumu.

He was even thinking of catching this Scizor so that he would have a powerful Pokémon.

“However, there are ways.” Natsume thought for a moment and tossed a book to Hyakuyamo.

One look at the cover—"One Hundred Ways to Awaken a Vegetative State"

"What does this have to do with vegetative state?"

Jiaozi and Xuecheng curiously moved closer.

"Go ahead and shout, maybe you can wake this giant mantis up."

Natsume waved his hand.

Don't ask what the relationship is between the two.

Anyway, Ash woke up Celebi when it went berserk.

"Wake up, Scizor!"

Xiao Zhi roared, his voice deafening.

"Scizor, wake up!"

Bai Youmu was stunned for a moment, then stiffened his neck and roared.

"You guys give it a try, I'm going back to the tree hole to take a look."

Natsume got up, dusted himself off, and flew back towards the tree hole.

The thick tree trunk trembled because of Ash's roar, and Natsume walked straight ahead.

The giant mantis waited in the tree hole for a while.

There must have been traces of Celebi here, or Celebi stayed here. Considering that Celebi might return, they sent Scizor to guard this place.

Upon arriving at the tree hollow, one finds it dilapidated after a fierce battle.

The branches next to the tree hole show obvious signs of human felling.

The telekinetic energy is projected outward, permeating every corner and every texture of the tree hole.

In an inconspicuous corner, a green light flashed by.

"Pickup!"

As if in response to a stress reaction, the person with the middle parting jumped out of the baby ball.

It obsessively went to that corner and sniffed it.

With his hair parted in the middle, he lay prone on the ground, wishing he could inhale all the air in the tree hole into his nostrils.

Natsume didn't disturb it, but just waited quietly to the side.

I don't know how the guy with the middle parting managed to do it; his keen perception of divine authority is something even Natsume would envy.

Soon, it was as if a pair of alluring hands in the air were lifting the chin of the person with the middle parting and luring them out.

"Pikachu."

One of them lost his footing and, in his daze, they fell into the tree hole in opposite directions.

Natsume teleported to the tree, caught the other person, and then put it back on the ground.

"Pikapi"

With his head tilted back and his nose twitching in the air, he walked straight in a certain direction.

"What's up with him?"

Xuecheng pointed to the departing man with the middle parting.

“Follow it, and you will find the ghati.”

"Really? That's great!" Xuecheng's eyes lit up, and she took the lead and followed.

"Natsume-san, we woke up the Scizor!"

Ash's excited voice rang out from behind.

"what?"

Natsume was startled to find the scyther lying quietly on the ground, no longer as ferocious as before.

As expected of Ash Ketchum, amazing things are always happening.

But upon closer inspection, Natsume realized that wasn't the case.

"How is it, Natsume-nii? It's quiet now, isn't it back to normal?"

"No, you were too loud and knocked it out." Natsume tugged at the scythe's hind legs.

"Huh?" Xiao Zhi looked completely bewildered.

"rub!"

The next second, the Scizor suddenly opened its eyes, and black mist completely covered its bright red eyes.

The punch was as swift as lightning, the Bullet Punch arriving in an instant, aimed at the nearest Ash.

Xiao Zhi turned around and instinctively threw a punch.

"Biga!"

Just as they were about to exchange blows, a one-eyed Pidgeot descended from the sky, bringing with it powerful wind pressure that sent the Scizor flying.

"Divine Bird's Valor!"

Everyone was taken aback and turned to look behind them.

The one-eyed Pidgeot stands there, and beside it, a stern old man in military green clothing stares intently at the crowd.

Bin Laden and his Pidgeot saved the Scizor's life.
