Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 387 Invitation Letter
At the edge of the reservoir, Natsume surveyed his surroundings.

The cement embankment was covered with cracks, and a few clumps of dark green moss clung to the corner of the wall.

Looking up at the water ahead, the surface was wide and gray, with seven or eight islands covered with trees, resembling small mounds, scattered in the distance.

The trees grew haphazardly, one here and one there. In the distance, one could see the dirt road connecting the Dragon Sanctuary to the other side. There were no human buildings or facilities, and the ground was full of potholes and muddy yellow water.

After scanning the area, Natsume's gaze locked onto a small island.

On that island, several trees lay fallen to the ground, and the soil was turned upside down, as if something had just dug it up.

"Pickup!"

The man with the middle parting pointed disappointedly at the island.

Natsume teleported to the top of the island and saw the scratch marks on the trees. He immediately knew that the commotion was caused by the guardian Dragonite.

What did he take away from here?

"That's all. Why don't you sniff it again?"

Natsume lifted his middle-parted hair.

"Pikachu!" The man with the middle parting spread his hands.

That smell, apart from a little bit here, can only be found on the Guardian Dragonite.

After a fruitless search, Natsume returned to Enmo City with his hair parted in the middle.

As soon as he stepped into the Pokémon Center, he saw a fiery red figure.

"Mr. Watari, Natsume-nii is back!"

As Natsume approached, he noticed Watari's strange expression.

He stepped forward, pulled Natsume aside, and asked:

"how did you do it?"

"How did you do that?"

Natsume looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"How did you convince your senior to give it to you?"

Du pulled a rose gold invitation from his pocket.

Natsume accepted the invitation, which featured a valley design with two rounded dragon heads at the bottom.

Right in the center, Natsume's name is written.

"These are specially invited personnel who can also participate in the Dragon Messenger Transition Conference."

As Du explained, he suddenly paused and said:

"However, the senior doesn't like to communicate with people and is very conservative. How did you persuade him?" Du Dao asked, leaving behind his doubts.

"Caring for elderly people living alone."

Chansey was sweeping the floor when Natsume snatched the broom from him and handed it to Wataru.

"Raki!" Chansey stepped forward and angrily snatched the broom back from Wataru's hand.

"Is that so?" Watari frowned.

Perhaps, just as Natsume said, the senior had stayed in the Sanctuary for a long time and was actually very lonely.

Du seemed to understand but wasn't quite sure what was going on, and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Natsume pressed down on the other person's shoulder.

"Tell me first, what is the main content of your so-called Dragon Messenger Transition Conference?"

"I asked Natsume curiously."

He flipped through the invitation in his hand and found that it didn't say anything in detail.

"Main content. I haven't participated in a long time." Du paused and said:

"Anyway, several years ago, when I participated in the last session, there were mainly three parts."

"First, you need to choose a Dragon-type Pokémon as your Dragon Partner, and you can only use this Pokémon in the competition. An elder will assess your training progress."

"Secondly, there is the Dragon Taming Trial, which requires you to establish a good relationship with some Dragon-type Pokémon in the valley within a certain period of time."

"Finally, there will be a special battle assessment."

After speaking, Watari said with some uncertainty, "Maybe that's how it is."

"As I said before, I haven't participated for several years, so I don't know if there have been any changes."

"That sounds amazing!" Ash Blossom appeared in front of Lance like a flash, his eyes shining as he looked at him.

"Mr. Watari, may I participate?"

“No, only members of our clan and specially invited guests are allowed.” Du shook his head.

As he spoke, Watanabe turned and looked at Natsume seriously:

"Special guest is essentially a member of our Dragon Clan, so please make good use of this identity."

"Oh, so I'm considered one of your people now." Natsume pondered for a moment, but then Satoshi's voice suddenly rang out: "In that case, if I dress up as a woman and pretend to be Natsume's girlfriend, can I participate?"

Before Xiaozhi could finish speaking, two steaming bumps appeared on his head at the same time, and he was dragged away by Xiaoxia and Jiaozi.

"Can I register another person as my dragon companion?" Natsume turned around and looked at Wataru.

“No, it has to be a Dragon-type Pokémon,” Lance said, adding:
"The Dragon-type Pokémon registered in the League Pokédex are not eligible for the Rotom series you developed."

There are quite a few rules.

Natsume shook his head slightly, indicating that he had nothing more to ask.

"Come visit anytime you have time!" Natsume saw Wataru to the door.

The latter looked up, glanced at the Pokémon Center's log, and his lips twitched slightly.

As soon as he took a step, Du felt his thighs become incredibly heavy.

Looking down, he saw that it was Xiaozhi who had hugged him.

"Hmm?" Du's expression changed slightly.

Strange, why does he feel like his thighs don't belong to him anymore?

"Mr. Wataru," Ash said, tears streaming down his face.
"Mr. Watari, is there any way you can get me to participate?"

"Hey, Ash, you don't even have a Dragon-type Pokémon!"

Xiaoxia appeared and dragged the other person away by the ear.

Xiao Zhi suddenly woke up.

"Natsume-kun, do you know where I can catch a Dragon-type Pokémon?"

Ash quickly looked at Natsume.

"Didn't you capture a single one in the valley today?"

Natsume looked at Ash with a puzzled expression, even though Ash had clearly defeated many Pokémon.

Those young Dragon-type Pokémon are competitive and admire strong individuals; many of them would probably be willing to leave with Ash.

"Hey, I forgot."

Xiaozhi scratched his head embarrassedly.

He fought his way from the entrance of the valley to the bottom until no dragon dared to challenge him.

Correspondingly, he also put the matter of subjugation out of his mind.

"Then there's no way."

Natsume shrugged.

"I won't say too much, you can bring your friends to watch."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up.

"In that case, have a good rest tonight, Pikachu!"

"Pickup!"

With less than a month to go before the Chengdu League, Xiao Zhi has been training regularly these days.

Unless it's something important, the other person rarely goes to bed early.

One night without words, the next day.

Early in the morning, Natsume led everyone to the waterfall where they had entered the valley earlier.

Unlike before, this time, outside the waterfall, there was a Dragonite on one side and a Charizard on the other.

In front of the waterfall, there was a deck chair with an old man in a black robe and hood, lazily holding up a sign that read "Registration Office".

"Is that a Charizard?"

Ash was taken aback, and couldn't help but think of his Charizard.

"By the way, Charizard isn't exactly a dragon Pokémon, is it?" Misty tilted her head and looked at the Charizard guarding the gate.

“We have a partnership with the Charizard Valley, and this Charizard came from there.”

The elderly man at the registration desk suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse, and he looked at the crowd with some surprise:

"What are you doing here so early, four in the morning?"

"Natsume said that if we had come earlier, we could have gone to the cave and woken up each of the dragons," Ash explained.

"Why wake them up?" the old man asked curiously.

"That way they'll be listless, making the battle assessment easier."

Natsume said earnestly.

Old man: "."
