Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 378 How about we become sworn brothers?
"Wait, this won't do!"

Lance walked over, firmly refused the Great Dragonite, and picked up Kabuto.

"Ouch?"

The giant dragon looked at the other side strangely.

"No means no, there's no reason why." Watari shook his head, then noticed that Natsume was staring at him with a strange look.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Watari asked Natsume curiously.

He noticed that not only Natsume, but also Ash, Misty, and the others were staring at him with strange looks.

"Is there something on my face?"

Everyone shook their heads. Finally, Xiaoxia spoke:

"Mr. Wataru, can you understand what the Great Dragonite is saying?"

"Sure, is there a problem?" Du asked matter-of-factly.

"Huh?" Everyone was startled.

"Pickup!"

On Ash's shoulder, Pikachu stared at Lance with a look of astonishment.

How did you understand it when it was full of grammatical errors?
"You also have a similar telepathic ability?"

Natsume spoke, his brows furrowed.

He used his telekinesis to scan Watari inside and out several times, but found no special powers.

"telepathy?"

Du scratched his head.

After a while, he took off his cloak:
"Although I don't know what you're talking about, this blessed cloak possesses some magical powers related to Dragon-type Pokémon."

"For example, it can help you perceive the other person's emotions and state of mind more accurately."

Du paused, then paused, saying:

"But I think these are all lies told to me by my elders. If they were really useful, the alliance would have already started an investigation."

"Then how did you understand what Dragonite meant?"

Ash pointed at the Dragonite in a daze.

"Don't underestimate me," Du said with a light smile.

"My synergy with Dragonite is innate. Although this Dragonite isn't my Pokémon, I'm a guy with a natural bond with Dragonite—why are you stealing my cape?"

Before Watari could finish speaking, Natsume snatched the cloak from his hand.

"Why don't you listen to it again and try?"

Natsume pointed at the Great Dragonite.

"Awoooooo!"

The giant dragon patted its belly and stood in front of Lance.

"Ok?"

Du was stunned for a moment.

After a while, he turned around and looked at his Dragonite, and saw the same bewilderment in the other's eyes.

Turning his head, Watari tentatively said to Natsume:
"Was there some kind of code your Dragonite used?"

Du was dumbfounded. He couldn't understand it at all. How were those words strung together?

"No, that's exactly what you heard."

Natsume shook his head, flicked the cloak in his hand, and draped it over the head of the giant dragon.

"Awoo?" What is this?
Almost simultaneously, Natsume, Lance, Dragonite, and Pikachu all had their eyes light up.

Half a second later, the voice of the translation software also sounded in Ash's Pokédex:
"What is this, meow?"

"Ouch?"

"Can I eat this, meow?"

Seeing that the Great Dragon was about to put the cloak into its mouth, Lance quickly reached out and snatched his own cloak back.

"Okay, I admit, this cloak is indeed very useful."

Du nodded and put the cloak back on.

"It seems that this cape allows the wearer to communicate clearly with Dragon-type Pokémon."

"If we just put it on the Great Dragonite, it will solve the problem of him not being able to express himself!"

As they talked, everyone's gaze eventually fell on Du.

"What are you going to do!"

He stepped back half a step.

"Nothing, do you sell this cloak?" Natsume asked Watari curiously.

Although he can communicate telepathically and directly with Dragonite.

But not others.

Moreover, besides him, Dragonite has no one else to talk to or chat with.

This prolonged isolation is definitely not sustainable.

"It can't be sold." Du shook his head.

"So there's room for negotiation?" Natsume asked tentatively. "There's no room for negotiation. You don't need to think about the other Dragon Tamers either. Their Dragon Taming Cloaks will be recycled into the Sanctuary after they pass away."

Upon hearing this, Natsume turned his gaze away from the portraits.

"In that case, may I participate in this year's Dragon Messenger Transition Conference?" Natsume changed his approach.

“No, only members of the Dragon Clan can participate.” Du shook his head.

Suddenly, he froze, turned his head, and found that Natsume's hand was on his shoulder.

"What are you going to do?"

"A-Du, look at our relationship, aren't we like brothers?"

"It's no use saying nice things to me. I can't make the decision. Only someone from the Dragon Clan can." Du's lips twitched slightly.

"What I mean is, since the weather is so beautiful today, why don't we become sworn brothers?"

As Natsume spoke, he took out a statue of a Bangila from somewhere, with the words "Loyalty and Righteousness" engraved on its forehead.

Crossing: “.”

“No, only spouses are considered members of the Imperial Dragon Family.” Du’s lips twitched.

"I can't even take you in as my godson?" Natsume exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course not." Veins bulged on Watari's forehead.

"Spouse? Natsume-kun, is Miss Kojima single?"

As Ash was speaking, he noticed Lance and Pride glaring at him simultaneously, and his voice grew softer and softer.

"Tsk, okay." Natsume thought for a moment and added:

"But tomorrow when you take those people to the Holy Land, will you keep an eye on us?"

"can."

Du nodded; having a few more people wouldn't be a problem.

"You can challenge the gyms yourselves according to the rules; I won't be joining you."

After saying that, Du hurriedly left.

"Young Master Du has some matters to prepare for the succession ceremony, please forgive him," Kabu said with a smile.

"What matter?"

Natsume craned his neck, wanting to ask.

"Uh," Kabu smiled without saying a word.

"Alright." Natsume waved his hand helplessly.

It seems we can only wait until tomorrow to enter the Holy Land and see if there's any chance of a turnaround.

"Natsume-kun, are we really going to challenge the Great Dragonite?"

Xiao Zhi tugged at Natsume's sleeve in a strange way.

Without the dragon-riding cloak, the roaring of the large dragon was incomprehensible to everyone except Natsume.

"Why not? It'll be a good opportunity to see how much she's improved."

Natsume rubbed his wrist.

【Mega Dragonite, LV70】

More than a month later, Dragonite broke through three levels and reached the level 70 mark.

"It looks much stronger now. I wonder how my Charizard is doing!"

Ash stared at the giant Dragonite, his fists clenched.

"Charizard?"

Kabu's voice rang out again.

He fell into reminiscence:
"Come to think of it, I think I saw that Miss Ji Ke brought a Charizard that I've never seen before this time."

"Really?" Ash exclaimed excitedly.

“Yes, that Charizard was much smaller than a regular Charizard.” Kabu nodded affirmatively.

"."

"No matter what, let's start the battle."

Natsume, holding the red and white balls, went to the other side of the battlefield.

"This battle is a gym assessment battle, and the assessment Pokémon is—Dragonite!"

Kabu stood on the referee's platform in the arena, holding a small flag.

"Challenger Natsume, withstand five attacks from Dragonite, and you'll pass the test!"

As Kabu's voice faded, everyone outside the arena was stunned.

"Five attacks? Is it really that terrifying?"

Xiaoxia said blankly.

"Natsume's Dragonite is incredibly powerful, but she's never been able to control it."

Xiao Gang looked serious.

He asked Nurse Joy for treatment plans for the Pokémon that had recently been injured by Dragonite.

Those injuries were terrifying.
