Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 327 Bishado

What are you three doing?

A rough voice sounded from behind.

A tall figure appeared.

The other person was dressed in a dark green dustproof cloak that covered a lean frame. A metal spinal support protruded from the collar, like a rusty robot bone, and was driven into the tree trunk, keeping him suspended in mid-air.

The edges of the goggles were stained with machine oil, and a centipede scar was visible where the bandage was wrapped around the left eye. The right glove was fitted with a translucent insect cage, inside which the severed tail of a cloaked dragon was slapping against the cage wall.

The black leather pants were worn white at the knees, but were tied with shiny storage straps, from which hung black baby balls that the trio had never seen before.

"Lord Bishado, Celebi has already been taken away by those brats, meow!"

The meowing cat was the first to react, and it flattered the other cat.

"Little ghost head?"

Bisha turned his head, his gaze fixed intently on Meow Meow behind his black goggles.

"Yes, it's Ash and Natsume."

Before Kojiro could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bishatto.

"Enough. I don't want to hear about irrelevant people. Is there any news about that forest ranger and the two people brought by the Śrābhi?"

There was a hint of urgency in Bishado's tone.

"some."

Musashi was taken aback, then handed over some of the photos he had taken to the other party.

Xuecheng's photo was selected, but without even a glance, it was thrown under the tree.

After a while, Bisha took out a picture of Hyakuya.

He stared intently at the photo in his hand, his face expressionless.

Meanwhile, the trio were overjoyed.

"Lord Bishado, doesn't this child look familiar? Doesn't he look a lot like Boss Sakaki when he was a kid?"

"Just a coincidence."

Bishad grinned, and another metal spinal support extended, piercing the photograph and pulling it back beneath his wide robes.

"The three of you are responsible for keeping an eye on the shrine and waiting for the other side to lose control. I'll go and make preparations."

"Swish swish~"

The tree trunk was pierced, and the metal support carrying Bixiaduo moved at high speed into the distance.

"Strange, why does it feel like the other party isn't very interested in Celebi?"

Kojiro watched the departing figure with a puzzled expression.

They've encountered more people than Xia these past few days.

After explaining their purpose, the other party readily accepted the trio into his team.

So far, they have not seen any of the other team members besides Bishad.

Regarding the operational objective, it was also very vague: to capture the rabbi.

"I know, meow!"

Meow Meow clapped her hands, and the soft cushions collided, making a popping sound.

"This guy must be trying to establish a good image in front of the old Boss Sakaki."

"Think about it, meow. As long as you leave a deep impression on Boss Giovanni when you were a kid, you don't need any Celebi. Promotion and wealth are just around the corner, meow!"

"How hateful! They actually wanted to take it all for themselves!"

The trio exchanged glances, each seeing a certain determination in the other's eyes.

Celebi?
do not care!
Under the treehouse.

Natsume suddenly looked up at the sky.

Strangely, he felt a slight palpitation.

"Are you back?"

Xiao Gang stood up, and behind him was the weakened Mantis.

"You've recovered very well!"

Xuecheng glanced at the scyther and said with some surprise.

Miku was helping out next to Scizor.

She stood up, her gaze fixed on the sleeping woman with a middle parting in Natsume's arms.

Surprisingly, Miku was wearing that shrine maiden outfit.

"Miku-neechan, is this something we have to wear?"

Xiaoxia leaned closer, but she didn't notice that her mother-in-law had been wearing it the whole time.

"Where's my mother-in-law?"

Natsume scanned the treehouse and found no sign of his grandmother.

"Did your mother-in-law run away?"

Bin Laden spoke decisively.

“This morning, Grandma suddenly said she heard the sound of the forest and went to the Lake of Life. She hasn’t returned yet.” Miku shook her head.

"Heh." Bin Laden rolled his eyes.

"Grandpa Laden, do you know Grandma well?" Xiao Zhi asked Laden curiously.

Bin Laden didn't want to reply. He just sat by the campfire, wiping his hunting rifle over and over again until the barrel gleamed.

After noon, there was still no sign of her mother-in-law returning.

The boy with the middle part in Natsume's arms showed no signs of waking up, and for the first time, Natsume was unable to enter the boy's dream world.

It might be related to the Celebi, but Natsume isn't sure. He can only wait for his grandmother, who knows more about the Celebi, to return.

"That's strange. It's been so long. Could Grandma be in danger?"

Xiaoxia was extremely worried.

Just then, Miku's phone rang.

"It's my mother-in-law!"

The crowd instantly gathered around.

Bin Laden, however, remained unmoved. He rolled his eyes and continued wiping his hunting rifle.

"Little Miku!"

On the other end of the video call, the kind and gentle mother-in-law smiled.

Behind her are bustling skyscrapers.

"Um???"

Everyone looked puzzled and couldn't help but turn around to glance at Bin Laden.

"Mother-in-law, what are you doing?" Miku covered her mouth.

"Of course I'm in Asagi City, Grandma!" Grandma said with a smile.

"Grandma, didn't you say you heard the sound of the forest? Why are you going to Asagi City?"

Xiao Zhi looked at his mother-in-law with curiosity.

"Yes, the voice of the forest told Grandma that disaster was coming and she should run away quickly."

As she spoke, the mother-in-law gestured with two fingers in front of the camera, making a running away motion.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Grandma, what about us?"

With a fiery temper, Xia snatched Meijiu's phone away.

"And your granddaughter is here too!"

Xiaoxia pointed at Meijiu angrily.

“I know, but you are young people. It would be really inconvenient to take an old man like me with you when you run away.”

The mother-in-law waved her hand, indicating that you should be grateful to have such an understanding mother-in-law.

Xiaoxia remained silent.

"Don't worry, I called some helpers for you before I left."

The mother-in-law's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Moreover, the forest also told me that you are the ones who will face the calamity."

"What disaster?"

Natsume took the phone and looked at the other person strangely.

Now that the rabbi is in their hands, how could he possibly go berserk again?
"My mother-in-law doesn't know what kind of calamity it is, but the help she called in must be very useful."

With that, the phone call ended.

"What the hell is this?"

Everyone stared silently at the black phone screen.

"Uh, I'm sorry, Mom, you've caused everyone trouble."

Miku bowed to everyone in apology.

The man with the middle part still showed no signs of waking up. Natsume stood up listlessly, his heart palpitations growing stronger.

"Natsume-nii, what's wrong?" Ash noticed that Natsume's expression was off.

"Mr. Natsume, would you like some water?"

Jiaozi handed a bottle of water to Natsume.

Natsume silently took the water and drank it all in one gulp.

His perception is much sharper than that of ordinary people; he can hear the sounds of everything.

From the moment he returned to the treehouse, Natsume's ears felt like they were filled with lead, and the sounds of the forest gradually intensified.

The cracked bark of the old locust tree seemed to weep for the pain of insect infestation, and every growth ring on the roof beam creaked as if recalling the wounds inflicted by an axe.

The parched thirst of drought, the scorching pain of lightning strikes
The sighs of the entire forest wrung out like a wet rope, making him buzz from head to toe.
