Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 411 The Enchanted Forest and the Lake of Life

"Natsume-nii, my bay leaf evolved into a giant chrysanthemum in today's preliminary round!"

Xiaozhi looked at Natsume excitedly.

"I know, I saved it for you."

As Natsume spoke, he handed a bottle of gene-suppressing medicine to Satoshi.

This trial of the more accessible gene-controlling agent formula includes not only the Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that have been tested in the past.

Natsume has a few of the newly developed Mega Evolution Pokémon, such as Meganium.

"Gene-suppressing agents?"

Xiao Mao immediately came over.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a bottle of Blastoise gene-suppressing medicine.

"Hehe, when I came out of the preliminary round, I saw a green-haired person doing charity work, and I did too."

"However, I don't have the Super Evolution Key."

Before he could finish speaking, Natsume flicked his finger, and a small, translucent glass bead that shimmered with light fell into Shigeru's hand.

"You guys train hard. I'm curious, can Mega Evolved Pokémon go Dynamax again?"

As Natsume spoke, he glanced at Blastoise, who was curiously fiddling with a small Dynamax well not far away.

The latter tightened its shell, and its two shoulder cannons unconsciously aimed at Natsume.

Blastoise, in particular, can Gigantamax, which is a unique Gigantamax move that is different from a regular Gigantamax.

That evening, the middle-parted bird and Zapdos returned, and sure enough, their levels skyrocketed.

[Middle parting hairstyle, lv53]

One level up every day!
Zapdos, Level 48

Natsume's pupils contracted, and Zapdos became even more incredible, instantly increasing its level by 6! Level 6!
"Wait a minute, how can there be such a big difference?"

Muttering to himself, Natsume removed the miniature camera from his neck, which was parted in the middle, with a look of utter confusion in his mind.

Natsume removed the memory card, inserted it into the laptop, and began watching the video recordings inside.

A flash of light appeared beside it, and Mewtwo appeared, staring at the computer screen with great curiosity.

A golden light flashed, and the purple-skinned man was thrown back. Then, the world spun around, and a vast forest appeared in his field of vision.

"Pika pika."

With a wicked grin, the man with the middle parting pushed Zapdos into the bushes beside him.

"Hooo!"

A massive armored Tyrannosaurus Rex stood up.

"Cannes!!!"

Zapdos was taken aback for a moment, then immediately engaged in battle with its opponent with high spirits.

Instead of focusing on the battle, Natsume kept his eyes on his surroundings.

He felt that the forest where the man with the middle parting was located looked very familiar.

For a moment, Natsume couldn't remember where he looked familiar.

Even after Zapdos defeated the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the monster didn't fall but instead vanished into nothingness.

"The Enchanted Forest!?"

Natsume and Mewtwo spoke in unison.

The only place that could create a dreamlike illusion, so real that they couldn't distinguish between reality and fiction, was the Enchanted Forest.

The illusions in the Enchanted Forest are uncontrollable, but the area where the guy with the middle part and Zapdos are located is clearly controllable.

Countless Steelix, Tyranitar, and Aggron surged out from all directions, increasing in number, and launched an attack on the Split-Headed Dragon and Zapdos.

"Why are they all Steel-type and Ground-type Pokémon?" Mewtwo wondered.

"Moreover, it looks like a small-team operation, with standardized training."

Natsume stared at the screen, his eyes gleaming.

After watching for a while, Natsume understood why Zapdos' level was so much higher than Midge's.

Besides having more advantageous attributes, their fighting styles are also completely different.

The dog with the middle parting kept dodging, and when pushed too far, it would just take a nap, completely too lazy to do anything.

In contrast, Zapdos, like a mad bird, is covered in flames and charges in and out of the enemy formation seven times in and seven times in successive formations.

Do you know how much of a promotion opportunity you've wasted?

Natsume turned around and stared intently at the middle-parted hair.

"Pikachu."

After thinking for a moment, the man with the middle parting suggested giving his spot to Loletton.

"Why should we give way? Maybe they'll welcome Loletton too."

"There are seven days left before the competition starts. In these seven days, I need you two to reach LV60!"

Natsume realized that once the illusions in the Enchanted Forest were under control, it would be an excellent place to improve combat experience.

"They were covered in wounds, so why are they completely unharmed now?"

Mewtwo discovered the blind spot.

In the video, Zapdos's head was knocked askew, and apart from its golden feathers, the rest of its feathers had been worn away by repeated charges.

Although the person with the middle parting kept trying to avoid it, things weren't much better for them.

"Cannes!"

Zapdos jumped onto the table and dragged the progress bar to the end.

Soon, a misty lake came into Natsume's view.

"The Lake of Life!?" Mewtwo and Natsume exclaimed in unison.

After Sakaki released the power of Evergreen, the Lake of Life regained its efficacy, and its healing ability was visibly improved.

The wounds on the middle-parted head and the Zapdos begin to heal almost as soon as they get wet.

The two Pokémon soaked comfortably inside for a long time.

"So, are you a female bird?"

As Natsume watched the video, he subconsciously pushed Zapdos's hind legs apart.

He had always assumed that this bird was male.

"Cannes!"

The latter kicked, leaving a bright red mark on Natsume's face, and angrily jumped aside.

"Pikachu."

The man with the middle parting pulled the red and white ball from Natsume's waist and put Zapdos inside.

Under Natsume's puzzled gaze, it jumped off the table, leaped up, and took all of Natsume's Poké Balls, storing them in the dream space.

"What are you going to do?"

Natsume stared at the other person with a puzzled look.

"Pika Pika Pika".

After some explanation, Natsume finally understood the purpose of the middle parting.

The other party wanted to use the dream space to "smuggle" all the other Pokémon in.

This way, you can gain more combat experience before the match.
"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Natsume patted the other's head.

"Pikachu."

The man with the middle parting rolled his eyes.

Do you think it wants to?

Only when there are many people can it be easy to slack off.

This will save Natsume from constantly checking how much it has improved these past few days.

"However, you'd better be careful not to upset your senior." Natsume said, patting his middle-parted head.

The latter nodded, indicating that he understood.

The next day, Natsume nervously sent the middle-parted hairpin and Zapdos into the cave.

As usual, after leaving behind a few bottles of Rage Potions, Natsume returned to the Pokémon Center.

Upon arriving at the rooftop, Natsume was astonished.

"Hahaha, there are actually two idiots here, Natsume-nii, I didn't insult you."

Natsume glanced at him, and Shigeru beside him immediately shrank back, grabbed his breakfast box, and fled as fast as he could.

Natsume shifted his gaze, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

Two more stalls suddenly appeared opposite his!

The stall wasn't big, about the same size as Natsume's.

A small stall was filled with all sorts of souvenirs, badges, and bottle caps.

Natsume raised an eyebrow slightly and picked up a book that was casually placed on the stall.

This is the large book of translations he handed over to Miaomiao.

Upon opening it, I found that the other party had already translated more than half of the Hoenn region, but had not yet uploaded it.

Natsume nodded with satisfaction and uploaded all of Miaomiao's files to his software in one go.

"Natsume? What are you doing here, meow?"

Just as Natsume finished doing all this, a meowing sound rang out from behind him.

"Is selling souvenirs before the match a ritual for your group?"

Natsume smiled and handed the large translation book in his hand to Meow Meow.

"You have no idea how much money you can make, meow! A piece of broken iron can be sold for a thousand or even ten thousand times the price. It's incredibly profitable, meow."

Meow Meow was in a great mood, casually flipping through the book in its hand a few times, but its good mood vanished instantly.

"Why did you upload a cat to me?!"

"Meow worked overtime to finish several days' worth of tasks, just so I could have a chance to make a fortune these few days!"

Meow was terrified.

"Two stalls, one for Musashi and one for Kojiro, and you can sit in the middle like a lucky cat, isn't that great?"

Natsume clapped his hands.

"What? Meow? That stall isn't ours, meow."

Upon hearing this, Natsume turned his head and looked at another stall.

He thought that with his case of zero customer traffic, the only ones who could continue doing this kind of abstract thing were the trio, setting up a small stall on the rooftop.

I didn't expect there to be such a master today.

"Make way, make way!"

Behind them, Musashi and Kojiro rushed up with cleaning kits.

The two walked past Natsume and began cleaning the rooftop.

Natsume watched them in silence.

"Do you think it's stupid for us to set up a stall here, meow?"

"Absolutely not."

"That's right, meow!"

Meow Meow said to herself:
"Actually, the Pokémon Center has a very good location and high visibility. Both the contestants and the audience who come later will definitely pass by here."

"The rooftop looks pretty good now that it's cleaned up, meow!" Meow said, pulling out a stack of newspapers.

"After the publicity, a lot of people will definitely come."

"Are you also setting up a stall, meow? How about we collaborate to increase our brand awareness, meow!"

Meow Meow looked at Natsume with interest.

"You're too late. I've already sold all my things."

Natsume pointed to the stall next to him and said:
"When these people arrive, you can cooperate with them."

"Okay, meow."

Natsume left, but ran into Ghetch and the others in the lobby of the Pokémon Center.

His venomous gaze remained fixed on Natsume, but he ignored him, pretending not to know him, and walked towards the back mountain.

He's only at a level disadvantage, but Ash and Gary are much worse off.

Even if he were there to deal with Du.

But neither N nor Ye Yue are easy to deal with.

We must take Professor Oak's request seriously.

He doesn't just want to be number one, he wants a complete victory!
evening.

"That's awesome! Big Chrysanthemum and I have successfully super-evolved in one go!"

Ash exclaimed excitedly at the entrance of the Pokémon Center.

"Tch, Eevee and I have been able to Gigantamax for ages, and so has Blastoise. Me."

Xiao Mao seemed listless and weak.

"You'd better take care of your health. These two combat systems are very physically demanding for trainers."

Natsume gave his instructions.

Aside from Ash, it's estimated that very few people can consecutively Mega Evolve or Gigantamax their Pokémon.

Upon entering the Pokémon Center, the three of them paused for a moment, slightly taken aback.

The number of people here is much greater than it was a few days ago.

Perhaps because the town had been opened to visitors, many people came from all directions.

Ash's mother and Professor Oak will also be attending the tournament.

"Is your miniature Dynamax well capable of making Pokémon Gigantamax, meow?"

A meowing sound came from Natsume's feet, clearly indicating that it had overheard their conversation.

"What are you going to do?"

Ash looked at Meowth warily.

"Could you lend Meowth the Miniature Dynamax Well for a moment?"

Meow Meow looked at the three of them with hopeful eyes.

"What do you want to do?"

Natsume detained the cat.

An annoyed look immediately appeared on the latter's face.

"Of course, I'm going to teach people a lesson!"

As it spoke, Meow Meow pulled the gold coin off its head and stuffed it into Natsume's hand, pleading:

"Please, meow, lend me the Mini Dynamax Well, meow!"

Natsume looked at the gold coins in his hand and raised an eyebrow slightly.

These gold coins are Meow Meow's lifeline, truly a "hidden energy source".

It will not be taken out to exchange for money or for its own use unless absolutely necessary.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Natsume, carrying Meow Meow, wanted to go to the dining area to talk, but found it was packed with people.

Left with no other choice, Natsume brought it to his room.
