Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 357 I never imagined we'd be infiltrating Team Rocket's base one day, meow!

"Natsume, if we dress up like this, will we really be able to find little Lugia?"

Xia looked at her clothes, which seemed a bit odd.

"I don't know, but if we just wander around like this, we might find Team Rocket's patrol personnel."

Natsume deliberately drove to a place that Lugia had never been before.

The Whirlpool Islands, with their numerous islands, are ideal for building secret bases.

The Rockets have a large base nearby.

In the original story, the little Rocky was kidnapped from that base.

"Speaking of which, didn't Sakaki turn over a new leaf?" Xiao Gang asked strangely.

“Who knows?” Natsume shrugged.

There are quite a few extremists in the Rockets who want to do something earth-shattering.

These people didn't join because of Sakaki's ability to unite people.

With Giovanni now siding with the League, there will definitely be many who are dissatisfied.

Moreover, the timing of this parallel Giovanni's entry into this world is also very clever, coinciding precisely when Giovanni chooses to join forces with the League.

One flag fell, and another flag was raised.
The speedboat roared as it rocked and swayed on the sea.

"Hey, why do you have to run towards the rocky area?!"

Xiaoxia gripped the seat tightly, but was still rocked from side to side by the jolts, nearly falling into the sea several times.

"Generally speaking, these kinds of secluded and awkward places are the easiest to hide in."

Natsume deliberately chose difficult shipping routes, and he would even inch over the islands he encountered along the way.

"What are you doing! Don't you know we're short on funds lately!?"

Another roar suddenly rang out, accompanied by a scolding voice.

Everyone turned around and saw a pure white speedboat with the letter "R" printed on it.

There were two people on the speedboat.

A woman with blond hair tied up in a spiky, explosive style.

A man in the driver's seat, with a middle parting like Kojiro's and dark green hair.

"Yamado, Kosaburo?"

Natsume recognized him at a glance; he was the trio's formidable rival.

"Hmm, you know us?"

Kosaburo stopped the speedboat in front of Natsume, using the rocks on both sides to completely block the way.

"Have you spotted Little Lugia?" Amado stepped onto the front of the speedboat, looking down at Natsume and his group.

Her gaze swept over them one by one, and then her eyes darkened.

"Which department are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Amado frowned, took out his phone, and began to browse through the messages.

"Mr. Natsume, what should we do now?" Jiaozi asked in a low voice.

A flash of golden light passed through Natsume's eyes.

"Huh? Why is the screen black?" Yamado patted his phone, but found no response.

"It suddenly broke down, use yours."

Kosaburo took out his phone, only to find that it wouldn't open either.

"strangeness."

The two men frowned and then looked at Natsume and his group.

"Who is your boss?" Yamado asked as he jumped onto the front of the speedboat.

Unexpectedly, Natsume did not react at all, but instead handed over a brick.

"What are you going to do?"

Yamato took a half step back, reaching for his waist, while Kosaburo behind him gripped the steering wheel, ready at any moment.

"Your boss's on the phone," Natsume said casually.

“I don’t know,” Amado frowned.

"I'm asking you to answer your boss's call."

Natsume impatiently shook the brick in his hand.

The sunlight reflected off it, dazzling the eye, and only then did Yamado realize that it wasn't a plate, but a telephone.

She bent down in a daze, bringing her ear close to Natsume's brick phone. When she heard the voice on the other end, Yamato's pupils contracted.

"Yes, Boss Sakaki!" "Mr. Natsume, please!"

Without saying a word, Kosaburo drove the speedboat ahead to lead the way for Natsume.

“Natsume, they seem to respect Sakaki a lot.” Kogoro frowned slightly.

Could it be that Lugia wasn't kidnapped from Team Rocket's base nearby, as Natsume claimed?

Soon, led by Kosaburo, the group arrived at the back of an island.

The ebb and flow of the seawater constantly washes over the back of the island, eventually forming a cliff face that is concave inward with an angle greater than 90 degrees.

As they drove into the cliff face, they discovered a small tunnel inside.

"Mr. Natsume, please be careful," Kosaburo reminded him, continuing to lead the way.

Soon, the group entered the interior of the island.

After the ship was docked, and with explanations from Yamato and Kosaburo, the first group was allowed to pass, and Natsume and his party entered the base.
"Damn it, meow!"

Outside the island, Meow Meow, Musashi, and Kojiro were thrown out and soaked in the seawater.

"What do you mean by saying we're irrelevant people, meow!" Meow Meow was furious.

"But that guard doesn't even know who he's offended!" Kojiro was equally indignant.

"How about we infiltrate?" Musashi's suggestion caused all three to pause for half a second in surprise.
Soon, three ordinary team members appeared suspiciously inside the Rockets' base.

"Damn it, Meowth! I never thought we'd be wearing Team Rocket uniforms and infiltrating Team Rocket!"

Meow Meow was filled with emotion.

"That's outrageous! Even Natsume managed to sneak in!"

"That's right, that's right. The three of us who are the real deal are the ones who got stopped outside."

As the trio was complaining, a voice suddenly rang out:
"What are you three doing here!"

An official walked towards us.

"Little Lugia has run back again! Aren't you going to go find her?!"

The man scolded.

The trio were taken aback.

Meanwhile, led by Kosaburo, Natsume arrived at a laboratory and met the person in charge there.

"Your name is Natsume, and you're also a researcher?"

In front of the huge screen, an old man in a white coat sat in a swivel chair.

He pressed the button.

"Crunch. Crunch crunch."

The transfer was shaky and extremely slow; it looked like it wouldn't be completed in just a few minutes.

Everyone watched the scene unfold in silence.

The short old man couldn't help but cough twice.

Amado and Kosaburo quickly stepped forward and turned the swivel chair around to face Natsume and his group.

Sitting in the chair was an old man with red hair and a receding hairline.

"Excuse me, this chair has been chewed up. Let me introduce myself."

"I am Professor Nanbo, the technical lead for Team Rocket's legendary Pokémon poaching operations!"

The old man pushed up his glasses and said with considerable pride.

"Alright, so you were the ones who kidnapped Lugia!" A red and white ball appeared in Xiao Gang's hand.

"That's right, give Lugia back right now!"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu stepped forward and stood in front of Misty.

"What are you trying to do? Attacking Alliance staff is illegal!"

Amado and Kosaburo spoke up to stop them.

"A league staff member?"

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were taken aback.

“Sakaki said this is a place that can be absolutely trusted,” Natsume’s voice suddenly rang out.

"A place that is absolutely trustworthy?" The two were taken aback.

This means that Dr. Nanbo, like Sakaki, has sided with the League.

"But what about these things?"

Xiaoxia pointed to the huge screen behind Naniwa, which displayed a massive map with the portraits of many legendary Pokémon.
