Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 326 The Past Seraphim
"That Pikachu?"

Bin Laden's expression was strange.

He was impressed by the Pikachu with its vertically parted hair.

The other party quietly took some small parts from him, which was only discovered by bin Laden when he checked the surveillance footage the next day.

"Okay, but you need to be careful."

Before bin Laden could finish speaking, he was lifted up by telekinesis and floated into the air.

"Since there's no problem, let's go up together."

Natsume waved his hand, leading the group upwards.

This was also a towering tree; after climbing nearly seventy meters, one could finally see the figure with the middle-parted hair.

In front of the Chinese leader, there is a tree hole blocked by stones.

"What are you going to do!"

The man with the middle parting held a wire, preparing to insert it into his electrical clip.

At the other end of the line was a small, clay-like object stuck to the stone.

"How could C4 have this?"

Old Bin Laden tore the thread off the clay and examined it in his hand.

This wasn't taken from him; judging from the fingerprints on it, it was made by this Pikachu himself.

The classic 3:2 rectangular shape is sculpted quite firmly.

"Didn't I tell you to tell me as soon as possible?"

Natsume lifted up the middle-parted hair.

"Pikachu."

He rubbed his hands together, grinning sheepishly at him.

"Be careful!"

Ash pushed the rock down, revealing the scene inside the tree hole.

"Compare"

The tree hollow was very dark, with sunlight slanting in, revealing half of Silavi's body, his transparent wings shimmering in the light.

"Compare!"

As if startled, the shrub huddled deep in the shadows of the trees, panting, its transparent wings fluttering like a spider web in the wind.

Its other side was completely hidden in the shadows, but its eyes were frighteningly bright. It stared intently at the entrance of the cave, its slender claws digging into the cracks in the bark, and a very soft gurgling sound rolled in its throat.

"Great! We've found the Celebi!"

Ash excitedly stepped forward, but was suddenly blasted several meters away by a burst of green light, almost falling off a tree.

Is this called stress?

Yukinari looked at Natsume.

"Call me Natsume-nii." Natsume patted Yukinari on the shoulder.

"Uh, Natsume-kun, is this called stress response?"

“Hmm.” Natsume nodded, and the three of them took a half step back in unison.

With no obstruction, sunlight streamed into the tree hole. With each flicker of light and shadow, the shrine's nape would suddenly split open, resembling a green caterpillar whose tail had been stepped on.

"Natsume-nii, he climbed up by himself."

Ash grabbed onto a tree branch and, after some time, climbed back up, only to find his thighs tightly clung to by Hyakuya.

"What are you doing here?"

Natsume looked at the other person strangely.

"I...I want to see the shrine." Baiyoumu swallowed hard, his gaze constantly drifting towards the cave entrance.

Blood was flowing from Bai Youmu's fingers, with tree bark debris and moss mixed in between his fingernails. It was unclear how he had managed to climb up there.

"Can I go in and take a look?"

Hyakuya looked at Natsume with a trembling expression, his body unconsciously moving closer to the cave entrance.

"No."

Natsume pulled Hyakume back.

“The shrine needs to stay calm right now. No one should approach. We’ll talk to them later.”

Xuecheng explained.

"Then why was it able to get past?"

Asphalt pointed to the hole, puzzled.

Looking back, I saw the man with the middle parting acting suspiciously, lingering at the entrance of the tree hole.

"Hey, you with the middle parting!"

Ash tried to call the guy with the middle parting back, but Natsume pressed down on his shoulder.

"Wait a moment."

Natsume was unaware that Celebi had a negative feeling towards the middle parting hairstyle.

"Perhaps Celebi is less wary of Pokémon?"

After thinking for a moment, Natsume decided to have the man with the middle parting to carry out diplomatic work.

Delay could lead to unforeseen circumstances, so it's best to take the rabbi away as soon as possible.

After Natsume's gestures, the man with the middle parting stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

"Pickup truck. Can I borrow it for a moment?"

It reached out and took bin Laden's accompanying tranquilizer gun.

"Hmm?" Trainer Natsume used Snake Gaze.

"Pikachu."

The man with the middle parting looked dejected as he handed the tranquilizer gun back to old bin Laden.

Damn it, trainers always know how to limit themselves!

"A middle parting hairstyle means you have to be friendly, not like you usually do!"

Xiaozhi reminded.

“Yes, yes, and your tone should be gentle too,” Xuecheng’s voice followed immediately.

"Don't try to add your own little schemes." Natsume said expressionlessly.

"Pickup!"

With his hair parted in the middle, he patted his chest, indicating that everything was under his control.

He arrived at the tree hole with great confidence.

With a "thump," the man with the middle parting knelt down on both knees and slammed his head heavily onto the ground.

"Pikachu pikachu pikachu pikachu pikachu pikachu pikachu."

Please, let me lean against this and take a nap.
Each pickup truck sound was accompanied by a heavy thud.

The sound of kowtowing continued unabated, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Even the usually cautious Celebi froze in place, a hint of fear creeping into its gaze as it looked at the man with the middle parting.

Seeing the branches begin to smoke and the middle-parted hair about to leave a blur, Natsume, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed the other person and lifted him up.

"Ash, let your Pikachu go in."

Natsume turned his gaze to Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu raised his little fist and slowly walked into the tree hole.

"Om~"

A green light emanated, and Pikachu was blasted away.

"Pikachu!"

Ash reached out and pulled the other person into his arms.

"That's strange. So much time has passed; they should have calmed down by now."

Natsume frowned.

"It seems that only those with a middle parting are not rejected."

Xuecheng pointed to the middle-parted hair next to the tree hole, and the thief, still not giving up, wandered back to the entrance of the tree hole.

"Pika pika."

The man with the middle part rubbed his cheeks, wiping away the electric arcs from his hair.

It just wanted to bring some warmth to this poor shrub.

"Forget it, see if you can pull Celebi into the dream world."

With Natsume's permission, the man with the middle parting had his eyes shining.

"Pikapi!"

With his hair parted in the middle, he darted into the tree hole, and swirling patterns appeared out of thin air.

"Clap!"

With his hair parted in the middle, he fell asleep immediately, and Silavi's figure disappeared as well.

Natsume silently picked up the man with the middle parting.

It's better for it to fall into the hands of someone with a middle part than into the hands of a poacher.

"Is it okay?"

Xiaozhi and Xuecheng looked at them with concern.

“Let’s go back to the treehouse first.”

Natsume picked up the man with the middle parting and led everyone back to the base of the tree.

In the distance, among the trees, three telescopes twinkled with light.

"Those little devils went back, meow!"

"There are two more people here, it seems they were brought here by the shrubs."

As Kojiro spoke, he moved the camera to focus on Hyakuya-me.

"The more I look at him, the more he resembles Boss Sakaki when he was a kid!"

Kojiro exclaimed excitedly.

"Really? I really want to, meow!"

Meow's eyes lit up.

"If that's the case, why should we still help Bishado with chores, meow!" Meow said, unable to resist starting to imagine the future:
"As long as I take this opportunity, I can get close to the old Boss Sakaki and leave a deep impression on him."

"Maybe Boss Sakaki just wants to get a cat!"

The more Meow Meow thought about it, the happier she became, and snot bubbles even popped out of her nose.

"Has this guy forgotten about Boss Cat?"

"It shouldn't be its turn no matter how you look at it, right?"

Musashi and Kojiro muttered to themselves.
