Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 356 Lugia Loses Her Cubs
"Prodigy, the positioning is now in your hands."

Jiaozi stood there, stunned, when he saw Natsume throw his phone at him.

"Remember to record Lugia's movement trajectory as well."

Natsume yawned and went back to his room.

The next day.

On the deck, Pickup was searching everywhere.

It didn't miss any room, bathroom, or even trash can.

"Pickup!"

"Pipi" passed under the belly of the man with the parted hair, looking left and right.

"That's strange, where did Ash go?" Misty, carrying Togepi, walked out of the room and onto the deck outside, looking around.

"I didn't see him in the restaurant either." Xiao Gang came out carrying a glass of milk.

"Natsume, do you know where Ash went?"

As Natsume yawned, he walked out of the room and was immediately questioned by Kasumi and Takeshi.

"I went to visit relatives." Natsume yawned and took the phone from Jiaozi.

Based on the tracking device on Ash, the movement trajectory of the Lugia and the location where it stopped were recorded.

"Pikapi!"

Pikachu tugged at Natsume's trouser leg.

"Are you very worried?" Natsume glanced at him.

"Try to see if you can get in touch with them." Natsume handed the phone to Pikachu.

"Pikapi!"

Just as he was about to get up, Natsume noticed that the man with the middle part was also tugging at his trouser leg.

"Are you worried too?" Natsume asked with a strange expression.

"Pika pika pika!" The man with the middle parting shook his head and then took out a banknote.

Can you help it buy insurance for Xiaozhi?
"Pikachu!" Pikachu, holding his phone, glared angrily at the man with the middle parting.

Just then, the phone in its arms contacted Xiao Zhi.

"Hey, hey, hey, Natsume-san!" Ash's angry voice rang out.

"Pikapi!"

Pikachu's surprised voice came from the other end, and Ash was clearly taken aback.

Everyone crouched down beside Pikachu, looking at Pikachu holding his phone. Natsume asked:
"How are things going with your godmother?"

"Not so good"

"Ouch!!!"

"Ah! Natsume-san, it keeps hitting me!" Ash screamed.

“I heard it. It said this is your punishment for going out without permission,” Natsume nodded.

"What?" Ash was dumbfounded.

"But Natsume-nii, what exactly is going on?" Ash's voice followed closely.

There was a loud rumbling sound of rushing water coming from his direction.

"As you can see, that's a Lugia who lost her cubs and has now taken you back as her child."

Natsume explained simply.

"Oh," Xiao Zhi nodded, seemingly understanding.

"Agh!!" Suddenly, Ash's heart-wrenching cry rang out.

"Don't worry, Ash, I've analyzed the movement patterns of this Lugia and the sounds it makes when calling for its young. I'll bring that little Lugia back."

"Wait a minute, it was Lugia that ran away, so why am I the one getting beaten up?!" Ash's wailing voice rang out.

Over there, the sounds of heavy, forceful slapping of buttocks could be heard incessantly.

Hearing Natsume and Satoshi's conversation, everyone's expressions turned strange.

"No, Natsume-nii, it hurts so much! You have to save me first, then we'll go find Lugia!"

Ash wailed.

“But this Lugia is on the verge of collapse right now. If you disappear, it will really go crazy.”

Natsume waved his hand.

Last night, from the moment he discovered the Lugia, he sensed that the other's emotions were extremely unbalanced.

If it weren't for Xiao Zhi being their temporary emotional vessel, they probably would have capsized their ship if they had come over.

On the other end, Ash paused. "Okay."

"Ouch!"

"Ah!!! Natsume-san, hurry up, what if we get caught?" Ash screamed.

"It's nothing, she's just talking to herself, saying you're much more resilient than before."

Natsume finished speaking and hung up the call.

When Natsume stood up, Kasumi and Takeshi exchanged a glance, both seeing deep regret in each other's eyes.

Damn it, I think I missed something really exciting last night.

"Quick, quick, let's go find Lugia!" Xiaoxia's eyes lit up.

It was such a pity that I didn't get to see Lugia when I was in the Orange Islands.

"But how can we find Little Lucia?" Xiao Gang looked out at the vast sea.

"Even if Natsume has summarized Lugia's mother's movement trajectory, that doesn't prove where little Lugia is, does it?"

Jiaozi frowned as well.

“That’s right, these are all places Lugia has searched. We can just go to places he hasn’t searched yet.”

Natsume yawned.

If I remember correctly, it was Team Rocket who kidnapped Lugia.
However, under Giovanni's influence, the current Rockets seem to have stopped doing these things.

Of course, that's not necessarily true, after all, there's still Giovanni in this world.

"Let's go, let's go to the dock first."

The ship docked, and Natsume led everyone away from the pier, heading straight to the boat rental company.

"Meow!"

As the crowd receded into the distance, a cat appeared on the dock, licking its paws.

"Did you hear? Meow, there's Lugia there!"

"The legendary Pokémon Lugia!" Kojiro's eyes lit up.

"Damn it, my dream of becoming an actor!" Musashi was completely out of sorts.

"Never mind whether you're an actor or not, meow. The fact that the director let you play a man already says a lot, meow."

"What do you know with your fist-sized brain!" Musashi roared.

"Alright, alright, the director changed the script at the last minute, there's nothing we can do about it," Kojiro said with a smile as he separated the two.

Soon, both groups managed to rent a boat.

"Mr. Natsume, isn't there a Dragon Concession over there? Why do we need to rent a speedboat?"

"He asked curiously from behind the arrogant one."

Natsume didn't reply, but instead steered the speedboat to a rocky area and hid behind a large rock.

"Yeah, Meow, why do they need to rent a speedboat, Meow? Natsume has a Pokémon that's fast." Meow held up binoculars and hung far behind.

"They're out!" Kojiro suddenly exclaimed.

But soon, the trio fell silent.

The speedboat Natsume was piloting had a bright burgundy "R" painted on its dark hull.

Even everyone was wearing a Rockets uniform.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu, dressed in a custom-made cadre uniform, stood at the bow of the boat, waves crashing against his sides, the gilded "R" on his chest gleaming in the sunlight.

"What?! There really is a Pokémon-themed Team Rocket battle suit, meow? Giovanni said there wasn't one, meow!"

Meow Meow glared angrily at Pikachu's clothes, her teeth practically grinding to dust.

"Wait a minute, they're dressed up as Team Rocket, they're definitely up to no good!"

Kojiro realized what was happening and quickly reminded him.

"No way!"

The trio exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with terror.

"Could it be that"

"Could it be that"

"They're going to impersonate our Rockets!"

"Then go find little Lugia, or do some other good deed!"

"In the end, let's make the Rockets take the blame and be completely disgraced, meow!!!"
