Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 463 Has anyone hacked into the Alliance's aviation system?
Inside the cabin, there was a deathly silence.

With the jammer's protection, the phone became a useless brick.

Everyone held their breath, staring fearfully at the robbers.

Until the arrival of new robbers.

"Oh dear, look, some passengers even have Pikachu and Jigglypuff."

"If one of them sings and the other uses an electric shock, we're doomed!"

Natsume's words only made the atmosphere in business class more awkward.

Why are you so talkative!

One of the robbers glared at Natsume.

I don't know what got into this kid tonight.

He started pointing and gesturing as soon as he came in.

Unfortunately, these "advice" reached the ears of the passengers, and the situation began to deteriorate.

Many trainers are eager to try.
Seeing that his words had achieved their purpose, Natsume glanced calmly at his seat. Cattleya was still asleep!

"Don't move!"

One of the robbers suddenly ripped open his shirt, revealing a bundle of explosives tightly bound inside.

"I'll light it right away, we're 10,000 meters in the air right now!"

Upon hearing this, the passengers who were initially somewhat interested froze, seemingly frightened by the robber's ferocity, and the cabin fell silent.

The robber, strapped with explosives, looked at the group of people he had intimidated with disdain and a hint of smugness.

"Sizzle~" The sound of the fire burning rang out.

"What are you doing?!" He turned around stiffly and looked at Natsume, who was holding a lighter.

"Didn't you order?" Natsume asked back.

"These passengers aren't our target! Have you even read the battle plan?"

The robber extinguished the fuse of the explosive charge, his voice low and filled with anger.

"Just kidding." A subtle glint flashed in Natsume's eyes.

"Listen up! Listen up, everyone!" The bandit leader suddenly walked in.

He raised his voice to make sure everyone could hear him, "We're not killers! We just want money!"

"As long as you cooperate obediently, I guarantee no one will be harmed! The Alliance has plenty of money; they'll pay the ransom willingly! Once we have the money, we'll leave immediately, and you'll land safely! Understand?! Resisting will only lead to your pointless deaths! Think of your families!"

This reassurance was like poison, instantly numbing the tense nerves of many people.

The old police officer, who had been spitting fire in his eyes and trying to stand up, visibly stiffened for a moment, and his clenched fist loosened slightly.

A hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the other passengers who had brought the required Pokémon.

The fear on many people's faces seemed to be replaced by a glimmer of hope.

The mother holding the little girl seemed to loosen her grip on her mouth a little, and her eyes revealed an almost pleading submission.

“Yes, yes. As long as no one is hurt, the money is negotiable,” someone echoed softly and tremblingly.

for money?
Natsume frowned even more as he looked at his boss's feigned sincerity.

If that's the case, why make people criticize the autopilot of airplanes?
Where is the flight path set? Where is the ransom to be delivered?
The atmosphere inside the cabin strangely eased somewhat after the hijacker leader's promise.

The threat of heavy weapons and the guarantee of survival as long as they cooperated led many exhausted passengers to choose the most passive coping mechanism under extreme mental stress—sleeping.

Some people leaned back in their chairs and closed their eyes to rest, while others buried their heads between their knees, seemingly trying to escape this terrifying reality through sleep.

Even the old police officer closed his eyes, but the knuckles of his hand resting on the photo were still somewhat white.

Seeing the passengers' resigned attitude, the robbers seemed to relax their vigilance slightly, and their surveillance gazes were no longer as sharp as before.

Time flowed slowly in the oppressive "calm." Outside the window, at the edge of the boundless, dark sea of ​​clouds, a faint, almost grayish, pale light began to peek through. Dawn was approaching.

Natsume remained alert, his gaze seemingly casually drifting out the porthole.

Although he wanted to do something, the plane was too crowded.

Moreover, all of these robbers were strapped with explosives.
It seems that, as the bandit leader said, waiting for the Alliance to redeem them is the only solution.

As the first real, warm golden rays of dawn pierced the clouds and illuminated the wings, he could see the silhouette of a massive city winding and coiling like a dragon passing below!
The city's style was distinct from other parts of Unova, filled with a blend of classical and modern elements. Huge, temple-like buildings shone brightly in the morning light, and a towering spire in the city center was a landmark.

Ssangyong City!
Natsume's pupils suddenly contracted; they had flown past their destination.

The plane did not land in Shuanglong City at all, nor did it even show any sign of circling or waiting. Instead, it continued to fly forward without stopping.

Natsume suddenly looked toward the cockpit.

The technician's computer screen reflected a cool light in the morning glow, displaying a clear flight path map with the plane's arrow pointing resolutely towards Feiyun City.

"Boss! We're almost at Feiyun City! The Feiyun Bridge is just ahead!" The technician's voice, tinged with barely suppressed excitement, broke the false silence in the cabin.

Behind him, the footsteps were fast and heavy.

Instantly, almost all the hijackers lost interest in the hostages inside the cabin and rushed to the cockpit with fanatical eyes.

"Okay!"

"The first stop to break the silence before the great deity: the Flying Cloud Bridge!"

The robbers lost their composure and stood beside Natsume like fanatical heretics. Natsume was slightly taken aback.

In an instant, it became clear what these guys were up to: they wanted to maneuver the plane into the most iconic building in the most bustling city in the Unova region—the Unova Bridge!
These aren't robbers, they're terrorists!
In that instant, Natsume remembered the information he had found online about terrorists in the Unova region.

These worshippers of the war dragon would never hesitate to sacrifice their lives to shatter peace.
In that instant, many thoughts flashed through Natsume's mind.

He chose the safest option.

Natsume silently closed the cockpit door.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

The robbers noticed Natsume's movements and turned to look at him.

"We must be at the very front to offer ourselves up, so that we may meet the Dragon God after we die!"

Natsume said seriously.

Upon hearing this, the robbers were taken aback.

But before he could speak, he felt weak and powerless all over.

"thump!"

Like melting ice cream, the five robbers collapsed limply to the ground.

Natsume looked at them indifferently.

"What...what did you do to us?"

The bandit leader looked up, his eyes weak as he glanced at Natsume.

The other person walked to a small corner and skillfully pulled out a jet device.

"Just a small amount of the remaining medical gas anesthetic, enough for the dosage of Dinosorb."

As Natsume spoke, he turned off the device.

Because the Great Dragon's size is different from that of a normal dragon, Natsume prepared two bottles for the surgery.

Sure enough, I used one and a half bottles.

The remaining half bottle is more than enough to take down these robbers.

However, as Natsume walked toward the notebook, the robber leader suddenly grabbed his ankle.

"You...you're an Alliance spy!?"

Oh wow? You still have energy!
Helpless, Natsume could only summon his seventh Pokémon, which he always carried with him.

"Go for it, big brick!"

"boom!"

After dealing with the gang leader with a brick, Natsume pulled the laptop over.

After fiddling around for a while, he realized he knew absolutely nothing about it.
Inside the cabin.

Natsume skillfully removed the robbers' clothes and hats, and at the same time threw out the unconscious bodies of the five robbers.

Behind him, the captain also walked out, trembling.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene, unsure of what had happened.

As Natsume and the captain explained, a palpable sense of panic immediately appeared on everyone's faces.

"Quiet!"

Natsume pulled out a giant megaphone, which made everyone's eardrums vibrate:

"Don't panic, we're just probably going to die."

"What do you mean by 'just about to die'!"

"We're going to crash into the Feiyun Bridge in half an hour!"

"Oh God, I don't want to die!"

Under high risk, all kinds of people are revealed.

"Don't panic, everyone!"

With years of experience, the captain managed to persuade everyone to stop what they were doing with a few simple words of advice.

"Mr. Natsume is amazing! He said he has a solution!"

As the captain spoke, he also turned to look at Natsume, placing his hopes on the young man who had rescued him and subdued the kidnappers.

In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on Natsume's calm and composed face.

“Mr. Natsume, do you need our help? I am a doctor!” The man with the gold-rimmed glasses who had been there earlier stood up.

"I'm a submarine mechanic; I can fix some simple tools."

More and more people stood up, and Natsume nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.

Has anyone hacked into the Alliance's aviation system?

Inside the cabin, the silence was deafening, with only Natsume's voice echoing in the air.
