Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 342 Flames from the Silver Mountain
"Now that we're back in the present, don't you want to unleash your power and charge in to wipe out those guys?"

Natsume raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Without these experiences, I wouldn't be who I am today. The ending is acceptable, so let's not try to change it."

Sakaki silently gazed in the direction where Hyakuya had left.

A red light suddenly flashed at his waist, and Cat Boss appeared, quietly following behind Bai Youmu.

"Alright then, I'd like to see how Shang Ke's ending came about."

Natsume climbed the tree again, gazing at Yukinari, who was battling wits with the Grass and Tree Dragon, and the green-haired forest witch in the distance.

Compared to the luxurious setup of their time and space, the combined power of Xue Cheng and the Forest Witch was far too weak.

They even struggled to deal with the poacher, let alone defeat the Grass Dragon and rescue Celebi.

Several times, the two found themselves in perilous situations, to the point that Natsume almost had to intervene.

Remembering Sakaki's previous advice, he endured it and patiently became an observer.

"This shouldn't be happening. There's no way we can win." Natsume held a red and white ball in his hand, rubbing it constantly.

From what I've observed so far, the so-called forest witch doesn't seem to be any different from a normal person.

Suddenly, in Natsume's sight, the forest witch took out an amulet from her bosom.

That amulet was the same three-colored amulet that Grandma had left for Kumi, saying it could summon helpers.

"Oh right. My mother-in-law said before that the talisman could only summon a helper once, and she used it up."

Natsume muttered to himself as he pulled out a three-colored amulet from his pocket.

After discovering that this thing was made from a stone slab combining the images of Emperor Yan, Suijun, and Raikou, Natsume asked his grandmother for it.

Shifting my gaze to the direction of the green-haired girl, I saw a tri-colored halo rising into the sky.

"boom!"

A massive, identical golden halo erupted from the rampaging plant dragon.

Clearly, the three-colored amulet, which still has an effect, summons a much stronger golden aura.

The dragon of grass and trees seemed to be imprisoned, frozen in place.

The tri-colored halo fell without hindrance, heading straight for the dragon of grass and trees.

"Could it be... the so-called helper summoned is Ho-Oh?"

Natsume stared at the tri-colored halo with great curiosity.

However, the tri-colored halo merely attached itself to the chest of the Grass Dragon, emitted a beam of light towards the sky, and then made no further move.

"What is this? It looks like a coordinate system."

Natsume's pupils suddenly contracted, and he swallowed the words he was about to say.

The surrounding air seemed to be sucked away instantly, and every muscle in my body seemed to be trembling.

Run, run!

The telekinetic power surged, repeating those three words over and over in Natsume's mind, as if a great danger was about to arrive.

Natsume froze on the spot, completely unable to move.

"boom!"

A thick beam of fire came from the distant horizon, scattering the clouds in the sky, and wherever it passed, rocks and trees vaporized.

When we passed by Natsume's place, the terrifying heat did not arrive as expected.

On the contrary, Natsume felt warm and comfortable all over.

[An unrecorded divine beast has been discovered!]

The system's voice sounded immediately, and Natsume then witnessed a scene he would never forget.

That beam of fire tore through the horizon, leaving behind vacuum ripples stretching for tens of thousands of miles, precisely striking the three-colored light cluster and piercing through the dragon of vegetation without any hindrance.

Without a sound, as if burning willow catkins, the dragon of grass and trees was instantly burned to ashes.

In Natsume's perception, the overwhelming resentment of the forest trembled, each one displaying fear like a living being, and fled from Celebi's body.

Even when Giovanni killed the Grass and Tree Dragon with a single blow, the Forest Resentment never showed such an expression!
"Crack!"

The charred shurabi fell into the Lake of Life, continuously absorbing its immense life force.
The large tree beneath Natsume's crotch was also burned to ashes, and he sat amidst the ashes, staring blankly back at the scene.

If it's not Ho-Oh, then it definitely isn't Ho-Oh.

Behind him lay a blank space; all the trees had been burned, forming a straight line—the path the fire had taken. Natsume paused slightly, then slowly looked up, following the trail, towards the horizon.

That's the direction of Baiyin Mountain.

Natsume slowly raised the amulet made of the three sacred beast stone tablets in his hand.

So, this thing is actually a locator that can summon an attack.
Without needing to descend, a single attack, even from tens of thousands of miles away, can kill Celebi in his berserk state in one blow.

Natsume swallowed hard.

There seem to be many things in this world that he doesn't know.

"You must win the championship and then go deep into the Silver Mountain. Do you understand now?"

Sakaki walked over and followed Natsume's gaze, looking in the direction of Mt. Shirogane.

"I see."

Natsume gripped the amulet in his hand and slowly stood up.

As expected, there's a reason why the alliance can suppress so many forces.

Silver Mountain is the headquarters of the Chengdu Alliance, so the attack originated from there. That unknown divine beast must be closely related to the Alliance.

While he was still in a daze, the bushes not far away stirred, and Hyakuya's figure appeared.

He held the wounded unicorn in his arms, and he himself was just as disheveled, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

A bluish-green light continuously flowed into the unicorn's body, and Hyakuyame excitedly shouted to the two of them:

"I won! I took them down!"

Hyakuya stood in front of the two, and unusually, neither Natsume nor Sakaki responded.

"Kid, we're leaving." Natsume suddenly spoke.

Not far away, Xuecheng had already run over quickly, carrying the departing Shirabi.

"Huh?" Bai Youmu froze on the spot.

"I'll give you something."

Natsume pulled out a bottle of Beedrill gene-inhibiting medicine.

"What is this?" Hyakuya took it blankly.

"Good stuff. There are instructions and this key stone on it. You can take it."

Taking the keystone, Bai Youmu opened the instruction manual, his eyes growing brighter as he read.

"Aren't you going to do something?" Natsume raised an eyebrow and looked at Sakaki.

Hyakuya was taken aback, then looked up and gazed expectantly at Sakaki.

"Here you go." Sakaki handed over a fossil of an ammonite.

"Fossil." Hyakuya took it blankly, and then pulled out an ammonite fossil from his pocket.

"It seems to be the same ammonite fossil that Mr. Natsume gave me."

Natsume silently stared at the ammonite fossil that Sakaki handed over.

Sure enough, the moment he messaged Sakaki, the other party set off for the Lake of Life Reserve.

"Mr. Natsume!"

Xuecheng ran over carrying Shirabi, panting, and said:

"Shrabah! Shhrabah has recovered, but the Lake of Life has been polluted!"

"Don't worry, we'll have your grandson study ecology in the future, and the restoration work will be left to him," Natsume said casually.

"I...I don't have a girl I like." Xuecheng suddenly became shy.

"By the way, are you interested in any girls right now?" Natsume suddenly asked curiously.

To be honest, to this day, he still doesn't know who Xiao Mao's grandmother is.

"This...this ghost-type shrine master is...very beautiful."

"Who is it?" Natsume quietly turned on his phone to record.

"No, no, I'm leaving now!"

Celebi was handed to Natsume.
