Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 397 Kid, when you're out in the game, you need connections.

"Aaaaaah! Why does he need so many points?!"

On the cliff face, countless trainers stared at Natsume with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Most of them still had nothing in their hands.

Many others breathed a sigh of relief, glad they had acted quickly and had already obtained a scroll and a penny or two.

Now that Natsume has taken all the scrolls, their ranking will actually be very high!

However, before these people could gloat for long, Natsume's voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"Come on, those who don't have 40 points, hurry up and line up to claim them! We're giving away freebies!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until Natsume's voice was repeated a second time that someone reacted first, scrambling down the cliff and rushing towards Natsume.

"Is this for real?!"

"Never mind, let's go!"

"My goodness, this person is such a kind person!"

Natsume dismissed the Thousand Dragons, and in front of him, nearly a hundred trainers lined up in a long queue.

"Wait a minute, what are you doing!"

The shock in Du's eyes faded, and he quickly stepped forward.

At this moment, Natsume had already set up a small table with the words "Admissions Office" written on it.

Wataru led Takeran and the others over, and they all frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with Natsume's actions.

"Mr. Natsume, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Zhu Lan pointed to the QR code for receiving payments hanging around the neck of the large dragon.

Shaka closed his eyes and remained silent.

Ultimately, these are resources from the Dragon Sanctuary.

Du's face was cold.

Although Natsume and he were friends, this act of profiting from the Dragon Sanctuary's resources reminded him of the Black Clan's Elder.

"Don't worry, everyone. Just give a dollar as a token gesture."

Natsume held up a megaphone, and his voice resounded throughout the venue.

Upon hearing this, everyone froze on the spot.

"What?" Zhu Lan's beautiful eyes widened slightly as she looked at Natsume in disbelief.

Shaka opened her eyes, her gaze filled with curiosity.

"Wait a minute, what did you say?"

Wataru, refusing to believe it, stood beside Natsume.

Is this the Natsume he knows?
Before Natsume took out the admissions office sign, Wataru admitted that he almost changed his opinion of him.

“Mr. Natsume, it seems you’re determined to get my friend’s school?” Shaka said with a smile.

"Of course."

As Natsume spoke, he looked towards the entrance behind him.

There, the figures of Ash and Pride appeared.

"Natsume-nii, we've got the printouts back!"

"Mr. Natsume, I've found an agency to guarantee it!"

The two quickly handed a stack of contracts to Natsume.

Taking advantage of the situation, Natsume took out a large sign and had Jiaozi and Xiaozhi carry it, while he wrote a line of large characters on it in a flamboyant style:
Simply sign the enrollment contract and take home 50 points!

The moment he saw those large characters, Du's expression changed slightly.

The free ones are the most expensive.

He randomly picked up a contract, and sure enough, it was Natsume, whom he knew.

"What kind of nonsense is this, where students are not allowed to drop out of school except for being dismissed?"

Wataru, holding the contract, questioned Natsume.

"Don't worry, everyone. Our academy will be collaborating with research institutes in various regions in the future. Upon entering the academy, you will receive the starter Pokémon that is standard for each region."

As Natsume finished speaking, the people queuing behind him became even more eager.

"Mr. Natsume is such a kind person, Mr. Watari, please don't make things difficult for him, and please don't make things difficult for us either!"

Trainers spoke up for Natsume.

"Yes, yes, fifty points means unlimited access to the Dragon Sanctuary and the ability to train your own Pokémon. I've only ever seen this score on the number one player before!"

"We can't drop out of school, we can just graduate!"

More and more voices rose up, and Du's fingers trembled slightly as he said:

"Don't sign anything or pay any fees carelessly! This one-dollar contract has significant legal implications. Look at the graduation requirements!"

Watari spoke, loudly reading aloud the graduation conditions from Natsume's contract:
"Graduation requirements: win the league championship in any of the eight regions, or make other outstanding contributions."

Upon flipping through the pages, I discovered that all of these outstanding contributions were research-oriented.

What do those kids from the Dragon Clan know about scientific research?
"Mr. Watari, that's not right of you."

Natsume said proudly to the trainers in front of him:
"Don't you believe these kids have the potential to win?"

"Besides, you can learn the other graduation requirements if you don't know them," Natsume said with a smile, glossing over the details.

"Yes, our Dragon Clan also has its own pride!"

"Winning the league championship shouldn't be difficult if I wanted to!"

"At worst, I can study scientific research in the future, as long as the school teaches it."

Most of the trainers in front of me are teenagers.

At an age when people are full of youthful vigor and have a strong sense of self, Natsume's voice is naturally more pleasing to the ear.

Du looked at them helplessly.

Haven't you ever considered that even if all the champions were from Sunshine Academy, only eight would graduate in a year?
"Don't worry, everyone, our tuition is still free, and accommodation is also completely free!"

Natsume's next words completely ignited the emotions of all the trainers.

"My goodness, you're such a kind person! Can you farm at the school?"

“You’re the future botanist!” Natsume gave a thumbs up and handed a contract to the tall man in front of him.

"My mother has never praised me like that before." The man signed the contract without even looking at it and paid one yuan.

More and more people stepped forward, paying their fees and signing their names one by one.
Du stood in the corner, sighing sadly.

Soon, in just over an hour, everyone in line had finished signing.

"Mr. Natsume, a total of 98 contracts have been signed." Jiaozi leaned closer and counted the number.

"Weren't there 120 people?"

Natsume frowned, glancing around, and noticed a group of people watching him coldly from a distance.

These people all have purple hair.

Soon, they became restless.

A three-headed dragon descended from the sky.

Everyone looked up subconsciously.

Seeing that all eyes were on her as expected, Hei Yu snorted and jumped to the ground.

"Young Master Black Jade." A clansman stepped forward, about to greet him, but was glared at by the other party.

Hei Yu held a scroll in his hand.

The scroll was unrolled, revealing a large number 50. This was something he had pleaded with his grandfather for a long time to establish a good relationship with.

The scroll comes from the 6th of the Ten Evil Dragons, the Salamence that lives on the edge of a cliff and has a volatile temperament!

"What is he doing?" Ash tilted his head, looking at the other person strangely.

The expected gasps of surprise did not occur; instead, everyone looked at him with strange expressions.

Seeing this, Hei Yu coughed twice and said coldly:
"Elder of the Assessment, what is my ranking?"

Generally speaking, getting 40 points is enough to rank first in the Dragon Trial.

This time, he directly defeated one of the ten evil dragons and scored 50 points in one fell swoop.

Along the way, there was no need to visit any other dragons!
"Let me see. You're ranked... um, in the eighties."

The red-haired old man did some calculations and replied.

"First of all, what did you say? Over sixty!?"

Black Jade stared at the other person in disbelief.

"Are you lying to me?!" he yelled, only to have a large hand grab his shoulder a second later.

"Show some respect to your elders." Du looked at the other person coldly.

"Hey kid, what's your score?" Shaka casually pulled over a passing trainer.

“52, Mr. Natsume gave me two extra points.”

"Oh dear, Xiao Zhuang, how many points did you get?"

Xiao Zhuang was feeling sad, thinking she didn't need to shave her head, when she heard Xia Ka's question, which immediately cheered her up.

"one hundred!"

The small stakes lifted a 60 and a 40 scroll.

"Impossible!" Black Jade screamed in disbelief.

It's impossible for Xiao Zhuang to get a perfect score, and it's also impossible for just any contestant to score higher than him!

"Humph!"

She lifted the little stake, and was extremely happy.

I've been ridiculed every year, and I've finally gotten my revenge.

"Young Master, come here."

It wasn't until the tribespeople pulled Hei Yu back and muttered something that Hei Yu's pupils trembled slightly.

Immediately, he stormed toward the table, his anger directed at Natsume.

"What are you going to do to my principal?"

A burly man suddenly rammed into Natsume and blocked his way.

"It's alright, let him talk."

Natsume waved his hand, signaling the burly man to leave first.

"You're cheating, interfering with fairness, that's illegal, illegal!"

Kurogane angrily pointed at Natsume.

The next second, a cell phone was handed to him, with a call to Officer Jenny thoughtfully made on it.

“Then report to Officer Jenny and have her come and arrest me.” Natsume looked at the other person with a smile.

"Hello, this is Officer Jenny from Yanmo City," Officer Jenny's voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Making a false police report will result in a fine,” Natsume said.

"you you you!"

Black Jade pointed at Natsume, backing away and almost falling to the ground.

"In that case, I want to join your academy!"

With a quick glance, he noticed that there were many empty scrolls next to Natsume.

"Give me a perfect score!"

As Hei Yu spoke, he reached out to take the scroll.

However, the scroll on the ground seemed to weigh a ton, completely beyond his ability to lift.

Golden light filled Natsume's eyes as he smiled:

"No, our school only admits students with excellent moral character."

“Just like me!” Natsume gestured with his eyes, and the burly man from before stood up again, puffing out his chest.

"You are treating me differently!"

Black Jade's chest rose and fell, and his fingertips trembled.

"Hooooo!!!"

A whooshing sound rang out as a figure streaked across the sky.

Looking back, I saw a Salamence with scarlet wings.

"That one... looks like a Salamence that lives on the edge of a cliff?"

"The scroll in Black Jade's hand, is that what you got from them?"

What is it doing here?

The trainers around them began to whisper among themselves.

A hint of confusion flashed in Black Jade's eyes, but he quickly realized that the Salamence was flying in his direction.

Could it be that Grandpa noticed Natsume's outrageous behavior and specially sent this Salamence to back him up?

Black Jade's eyes gleamed with anticipation. He stood up and glared fiercely at Natsume:

"You opportunist, you're about to be punished!"

"boom!"

Just then, the Salamence landed behind him. It was enormous and its level was as high as lv90!

Kuroko's gaze toward Natsume grew increasingly cold.

"Hmph!" Shaka snorted coldly, about to step forward with the Twin Axe Dragon to support Natsume.

But the next second.

"Roar?"

The Salamence grabbed the Black Jade and took the scroll from its body.

"What are you doing?!" Black Jade, who had been lying to the side, immediately got up.

"Roar! Roar!"

Turning his head, he saw the Flying Dragon eagerly handing the scroll to Natsume, as if it were a treasure.

"You" are flawed and cracked like black jade.

A score of zero in the Dragon Trial means that no dragon in the entire Holy Realm recognizes you.

For the next year, he was unable to enter the Holy Domain for cultivation.

Hei Yu grew angrier the more she thought about it, her chest heaving violently.

"Kid, when you're out in the game, you need connections." Natsume took the scroll and patted the Salamence's head.

A familiar voice rang out, only this time, the roles were reversed.

"puff!"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.
