Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 351 Steel Badge?

"Congratulations, Natsume."

Ami came over.

Xiao Zhi returned the phone to the man with the middle parting and ran over with stars in his eyes.

"This is a steel badge, please accept it."

In Ami's hand, a regular hexagonal steel badge gleamed.

"Huh? Steel Badge?" Ash was taken aback.

“Miss Ami, isn’t this the Electric-type gym?” Xiaoxia also came over.

"Who said that?" Ami looked at everyone strangely.

"Master is only good at raising electric dragons and has a lot of cooperation with the Lighthouse, so many people get it wrong."

Kexia, wearing a small hat, walked over.

"If you don't believe me, look! These are all Steel-type Pokémon trained by Master!"

"Everyone, come out!"

Several red lights flashed around Xia's waist.

One Magnemite, two Magnemites, three Magnemites.
"."

A palpable silence fell over the crowd.

How about we rename it the Electric Power Gym?

"Oh, Miss Ami, you're not going to use these Magnemite monsters to fight me later, are you?"

Ash was visibly disappointed.

He also wanted to have a thrilling battle with the Mega Electro Dragon!
“No, these Magnemites are in charge of the temple’s electrical system. As I said before, the only one that can be used for battles in the temple is Jasmine,” Ami laughed.

"It really is an Electric-themed gym, isn't it?" Xiaoxia said helplessly.

"Xiaoxia, what are you saying? Don't disturb my battle with Mega Electro Dragon."

Xiao Zhi pushed all the group out.

On the other side, after being sprayed with medicine and resting briefly, Dianlong regained a lot of his physical strength.

This time, without the boost from Berserk and Mega Evolution, Ash's battle was much easier than Natsume's.

Within a few rounds, he obtained the Iron Badge.
"What? Why can't I super evolve? Does Miss Ami think I'm weak?"

On the way to the dock, Ash looked dejected, as if he had failed in his challenge against the gym.

"Ash, Mega Evolution also requires certain physical qualities from the trainer. You can't force Miss Amiya."

Xiao Gang explained.

"Requirements? Besides the bond with Pokémon, there are also physical requirements?"

Ash was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Natsume.

"Yes, the official recommendation for trainers capable of Mega Evolution is no more than three times a day."

Natsume didn't turn his head, staring intently at his phone.

I just received a text message that his translation software has passed the alliance's review and has been added to the Billionaire King Fund's project.

And it will be piloted in the Kanto region in the next few days.

If all goes well, the complete regional encyclopedia will be available in two months.

Natsume narrowed his eyes.

There's a problem: his translation software only supports the more than 100 Pokémon available in the Kanto region; there's no data for other regions.

That's so embarrassing!
With their pre-booked tickets, Natsume led everyone onto a ship bound for Azure City on the other side of the river.

A gentle sea breeze blew, and Natsume yawned.

There's no rush regarding the translation software.

Although Meow Meow has been working sporadically lately and hasn't uploaded many Pokémon language videos.

This phenomenon worsened after Natsume told them that various robot blueprints could be sold to the Alliance.

But that's okay. At worst, we can just catch Meowth, lock it in a dark room, and make it translate all the Pokémon languages ​​from all regions.

"Natsume-san"

Natsume was enjoying the sea breeze on the deck when Satoshi came over.

On his shoulders stood Pikachu on one end and a laurel leaf the size of a calf on the other.

A middle-parted hairstyle was sleeping on top of it.

He worriedly said to Zhongzhong:

"Natsume-nii, what if... what if my physical condition isn't good enough and I can't make the giant chrysanthemum evolve? What should I do then?"

Natsume: "."

Natsume gazed wistfully at the other side of the river, where tall buildings loomed in the distance.

"Shinji, don't fantasize about things you can't have."

"For example, a weak body."

"Oh"

Ash nodded blankly. The distance between Asahi City and Cyan City is quite short.

In less than two hours, the group arrived in Azure City.

"Huh? Why isn't there a beach here? It sounds like a resort."

When everyone arrived at the dock, Xiaoxia looked left and right, feeling very disappointed.

"There's a beach there, you can go play there."

Xiao Zhi pointed to a spot not far away.

There, by the sea, is a small sandy area, only a few dozen square meters in size, surrounded by a dense wire fence. Outside, there is a sign that reads "Children's Beach Playground" in a crooked hand.

"Are you mocking me?!" Xiaoxia roared, spitting all over Xiaozhi's face.

"But there really seems to be someone inside."

Xiao Gang looked at the small beach with a puzzled expression.

"There must be lots of kids at the children's beach park," Xiaoxia said, turning her head to the side.

"No, there's an adult inside."

Natsume yawned and walked toward the children's beach playground.

"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback.

Natsume tends to ignore trivial matters.

This time, the other person actually walked in that direction, and everyone followed behind him with great curiosity.

Near the children's beach playground, the sounds of fighting could be clearly heard.

Judging from the voice, it seemed to be an older man. The sounds of the impacts were muffled and heavy, and you could tell without even looking that every punch landed squarely.

"Could there be some kind of pervert involved?"

Xiaoxia shrank her neck.

"squeak~"

Natsume was the first to push open the rusty iron gate and go inside.

The group exchanged glances and followed.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a striking scene.

A burly man with a full beard and bulging muscles was tightly entangled with a female monster.

The moment Natsume saw the burly man, two words involuntarily came to mind—Zhang Fei.

Thank goodness there's no Romance of the Three Kingdoms in this world, otherwise this person would definitely have become an overnight sensation.

“Very well, use Hell Roll on me like that!” The burly man’s eyes widened like copper bells.

"Roaring power!"

The monstrous strength held the burly man tightly and began to roll around in hell, sending sand and dust flying everywhere.

"Hey, uncle, you're going too far with this!"

Xiaoxia opened her mouth, but sand flew into it, leaving her unsure whether to continue speaking or what to do.

"Oh?"

The two rolling figures suddenly stopped.

The burly man stood up as if nothing had happened, but the moment he saw Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia, tears streamed down his face.

"Great! My children's playground finally has kids willing to come!"

The burly man and the powerful Pokémon exchanged a glance, and tears welled up in their eyes. They rushed forward with their Pokémon, ready to give Ash and Misty a hug each.

"Who's the kid!" Xiaoxia glared defiantly at the strange force that came to hug her.

"Um, sir, are you sure you don't want to treat the wound?"

Ash was being held by the burly man when he suddenly spoke.

"Haha, don't worry, these bruises are nothing. A real man doesn't feel pain!"

The burly man laughed wildly.

"But I bled a lot, and my clothes got all wet."

"Ok?"

The burly man looked down and found a small shard of glass on his stomach, seemingly left behind when he was rolling on the beach.

"I told you, this kind of training is dangerous." Xiaoxia covered her face.

Xiao Gang shook his head slightly and took out the medical kit he always carried with him.

"Haha, not only sweating, but also bleeding is a symbol of a real man!"

The burly man didn't take it seriously at all.

"Natsume-nii, why are we here to see this strange uncle?" Ash asked curiously as he leaned closer.

"Here."

Natsume handed the phone to the other person; it contained information about the Azure City Boxing Dojo.

The photo of the gym leader clearly showed the burly man standing before them.
