Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 400 Digging up one's own ancestral graves can be considered inheriting an old skill.
Damn it, Xiao Mao is still the most loyal.

"Why did these two people believe you so immediately after you said the words 'digging up graves'?"

The guardian Dragonite squeezed out from behind the monument, curiously looking at the sky.

"You two only just met recently."

He looked down in confusion at Natsume.

In the human world, things like digging up graves are considered extremely immoral.

"Have you ever done something like this before?"

The guardian Dragonite looked at Natsume curiously.

"Entrusted by the beast." Natsume waved his hand.

The guardian Dragonite tilted its head, not understanding what Natsume was saying.

"You come with me."

With a word of advice, the guardian Dragonite soared into the sky.

Soon, Natsume followed behind the other person and arrived at a small hill covered with tombstones.

"Hiss, senior, I heard that every Dragon-Riding Cloak has to be blessed by you, why don't you just give us one directly?"

Natsume seemed to have thought of something and looked at the other person curiously.

"After returning to my divine office, I could no longer bestow blessings. I only have so many Dragon Cloaks left."

As the guardian Dragonite spoke, it pulled out an extra-large shovel from the bushes not far away.

Even with the opponent's massive size, it doesn't seem light or agile.

"The dragon-riding cloak that is given to the Dragon-Riding Envoy every year?"

"It was dug out from here."

As the guardian Dragonite spoke, it dug open the grave mound with a shovel.

These cloaks originally belonged to him, but these people regarded them as an honor and took them to their graves.

Out of respect for their piety, the guardian Dragonite did not stop them, only coming here to get more capes when they were short of them.

"Wait a moment!"

Natsume stepped forward to stop him.

"what happened?"

“Dig those purple-haired dragon riders.”

Natsume touched his nose.

"Really? That's perfect, this is it right here."

With that, he used his shovel again, and a small coffin appeared in front of Natsume.

"Clap~" The Guardian Dragonite skillfully pushed open the coffin lid, revealing the skeleton inside.

Natsume glanced at the style of the coffin and some other burial objects, and roughly deduced the age of the coffin.

It has been at least a thousand years.

"What do you think of this one?"

The dragon-patterned cloak was folded neatly and, after a thousand years, remained spotless.

The guardian Dragonite took it out, and the large cape in its hand looked like a small bib.

"I'll let Dragonite see for itself."

Natsume's expression suddenly changed.

A flash of red light appeared, revealing not only a giant Dragonite, but also a feather radiating a rainbow of colors.

"This rainbow feather seems to be even brighter than before."

The guardian dragonite approached and looked Rainbow Feather up and down as it floated in mid-air.

"Ouch!?"

The giant Dragonite mimicked the guardian Dragonite, suddenly closing in and making the latter burst into laughter.

"Um"

Natsume reached out and let the rainbow feather fall into his palm.

Strange.

After digging up someone's grave, Hong Zhiyu seemed to be on steroids, and her approval of him increased significantly.

Could it be that Ho-Oh isn't actually a vengeful street thug, but a genuine psychopath?
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Natsume abruptly turned around and looked at the Guardian Dragonite, saying:

"When the Hei clan came to you, wasn't there a person named Hei Yu?"

"Yes, their leader seems to be named Blackwing, and he's from Orb City." The Guardian Dragonite thought for a moment and nodded, adding:

"The other party was unwilling to mention their surname, only saying that they would use the surname Hei from now on, and I don't know why."

“Oh~” Natsume nodded meaningfully.

After all this time, it turns out that the Hei clan here are descendants of the priests who tried to kill the Phoenix King!
"Ahem. Um, it seems that the Rainbow Feather has become brighter because we dug up the Black Clan's ancestral grave."

Natsume coughed twice and held the Rainbow Feather in front of the Guardian Dragonite.

"is it?"

The guardian dragonite no longer hesitated to choose the Dragon Cloak; it dug away a mound of earth nearby with some skepticism.

"rub!"

A powerful burst of seven-colored light illuminated the entire space.

"It's actually true!"

"But why?" The guardian Dragonite stared at Rainbow Feather for a long time, then shook its head and ignored it, instead burying its head in digging up the grave mounds of the Black Clan.

Never mind, the future lives of Phoenix King and his daughter are intertwined, and he cannot be careless.

"Uh, you can go slower. After all, Ho-Oh isn't good enough. You can also help me find Xerneas."

The Guardian Dragonite swung its shovel, leaving afterimages. It seemed not to hear Natsume's voice, and its shovel became more and more powerful with each swing.

"Uh, never mind, let's leave it at that."

Natsume placed the Rainbow Feather aside and walked to the back of a large tree not far away.

After taking a short rest, Natsume heard a heart-wrenching sound in his ear.

"what is that!"

He opened his eyes and found himself facing a pale-faced black jade.

Hmm? The young man recovered so quickly?
Noticing Natsume's gaze, Kurokami suddenly turned his head.

The moment he saw Natsume, his chest heaved violently, and he trembled as he pointed at Natsume, saying:
"What are you doing here!"

Suddenly, Black Jade realized:

"I know, you, it must have been you who ordered it!"

"I'm going to record this and report you!"

"You seem to be a Pokémon professor; you're about to be completely disgraced!"

Seeing Kurogane's reaction, Natsume's expression turned strange.

That's strange. Shouldn't a normal person rush up and fight if they see someone digging up their ancestral grave?
This guy only cares about himself.

Indeed, sometimes being too charming isn't a good thing.

Natsume sighed and walked towards the other person.

"You bastard, look carefully who that is!"

Natsume feigned anger and suddenly slapped him, leaving a bright red handprint on Kurogane's face.

"You...you hit me? You dare hit me!" Black Jade pointed at Natsume in disbelief.

"I hit you for your own good!"

Natsume grabbed the other person's clothes, turned his head, and aimed it at the dusty grave mound.

Beside the grave mound, a large Dragonite lay fast asleep on the ground. It was Natsume's Dragonite, and Kurogane recognized it.

As for the one who's digging up his own ancestral grave...
"Senior, that senior!"

Hei Yu's voice trembled.

"Why, why did you do this, senior!"

Black Jade's legs went weak, as if the sky had fallen, and she collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face. Why such a strong reaction?
Although this guy is extremely annoying, even when he's so angry he's about to vomit blood, I've never seen him cry.

Now you're crying?

Natsume narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seems he greatly underestimated the value of the Guardian Dragonite in the Sanctuary.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Natsume crouched down and patted the other person's back, a sound like Pandora's box opening:

Do you know why that senior did that?

"Why?"

Black Jade's face was streaked with tears, her expression one of terror:
"Could it be...could it be about our Hei family lineage?"

"No, no." Natsume shook his head, his voice alluring:

"Do you know why you, senior, were revered by all the dragons in the Holy Domain, and how I could possibly gain their approval?"

"Because...because of the unparalleled strength of our predecessors, and because of your...your shameless schemes!"

When Natsume was mentioned, Kurogane's expression hardened.

"Wrong, wrong." Natsume shook his head and picked up a shovel with his other hand:
"Because I secretly come here with my seniors every day to cultivate and constantly become stronger!"

"How is this possible? How could this be a form of cultivation? How could it possibly make you stronger!"

Black Jade roared as if it were collapsing.

"Hey, that's not right." Natsume clicked his tongue and shook his head, slamming the shovel into the ground beside him. His devilish voice continued:

Do you know where the elder lived?

"Senior...where do you live?" A hint of confusion flashed in Hei Yu's eyes, followed by a deep fear.

"That...that place that can devour all power!"

Black Jade was so frightened that it kept backing away.

When he was a child, he went inside once and almost died there. It was his seniors who threw him out.

Only then did he realize that there was such a powerful guardian in the Holy Domain, who could freely enter and exit the square tablet!
"That's right!" Natsume's gaze sharpened as he patiently guided her:
"Don't those square tablets look a lot like coffins?"

"That's right, it connects to the legendary underworld!"

"The absorbed power leads to the underworld, and it needs to be released by digging up graves!"

"Moreover, only the burial mound shrouded in seven-colored light has this effect. See, isn't it getting brighter and brighter?"

Natsume's voice was strong and clear. The moment he finished speaking, Kurogane was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

He stared in disbelief, his eyes fixed on the busy figure.

"Never mind, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to follow in the footsteps of my senior."

As Natsume spoke, he reached for the shovel stuck to the side.

"No, I forbid you to follow your predecessor!"

Black Jade suddenly stood up and snatched the shovel.

"Only I am qualified to follow my predecessors, absolutely only me!"

After saying that, he picked up the shovel and ran towards the Hei family cemetery.

"Damn it, don't steal my chance!" Natsume shouted anxiously.

"Hahaha, I am the follower, I am the one recognized by all the dragons of the Holy Land!"

Kurogane laughed wildly, seemingly enjoying the anxious look on Natsume's face, and swung the shovel in his hand even more forcefully!

The smile on Natsume's face vanished abruptly when the piled-up earth obscured Kurogane's view.

"Pfft!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Natsume walked behind the big tree and laughed so hard he almost fell over.

"Huh?"

They can't even hold their phones steady, so they have to call out to the little groundhog to help them record things.

"Dong dong!"

Heavy footsteps sounded behind Natsume.

The guardian Dragonite, carrying a shovel, stood behind Natsume with a bewildered expression.

"Who then?"

The guardian Dragonite pointed strangely at the Black Orb, which was waving its shovel in a blur.

If I'm not mistaken, the child who suddenly jumped down was also a member of the Hei clan.

Could it be that it's mistaken? Isn't digging up ancestral graves a taboo in the human world?
"Look how motivated this child is."

Natsume held up the Shirabi stone tablet, from which a faint blue light emanated, flowing towards the black jade he was digging away with his head down.

Meanwhile, Black Jade's expression grew increasingly frenzied.

He felt it, he really felt it!

With each swing of the shovel, a real, tangible power surged within him!
That bastard didn't lie to me!
Out of the corner of her eye, Black Jade noticed that the Guardian Dragonite had disappeared sometime earlier.

Could it be that the senior has approved of me, and all these grave mounds will be left to him?
Thinking of this, Hei Yu felt even more motivated.

Without even glancing at it, after digging up one, he would immediately leap up, like a digging worm, and knock on the door of another ancestor's room.
The Rainbow Feather shone ever brighter.

In the end, it became a small, colorful sun, illuminating the surroundings.

"Everything's been going wrong lately."

Blackwood carried a large pile of sacrificial items as it walked along the path.

"Hey, don't say that! Let's go to our ancestral home and pay our respects. Maybe that will change our luck!"

The other old men nearby chimed in.

"hope"

A hint of confusion appeared in Kuroki's eyes.

Perhaps he really spoils his grandson too much.

"Hey, look, our ancestral land is shining!"

"The other two lineages don't have this kind of light at all!"

An elder exclaimed in delight.

Kuroki was taken aback. He looked up and, sure enough, there was a seven-colored radiance, an auspicious sign.

"Could it be that... could it be that Heaven has eyes?"

"Let's go and take a look!"

The old men excitedly looked toward the source of the light.

However, as soon as they got closer, their expressions changed drastically.

"Who did this?!"

"Call the police! I want to call the police!"

"There's a sound here!"

"Do you really think I'm someone to be trifled with?!"

They all came to the vicinity, and continued to throw soil out of the dug-up grave mound, extremely arrogant.

Kuroki Tong, furious, led a group of old men closer.

"Hahaha, power! I feel an endless stream of power!"

Upon seeing the black jade inside, Kurokito's vision went black, and he passed out.

"Elder, Elder!"

"Please don't let anything happen to you, Elder!"

"It can be considered as inheriting the skills of our ancestors."

Natsume gave his summary.
