Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Why is it Kyurem in Chapter 481?
"Go! Phantom Master Ball Rotom, use Phantom Ball!"

Natsume gave the order without hesitation. He didn't rush to seal Tyranitar inside, but wanted to test the strength of this new technique first.

"Stab~"

Within the crystal sphere, a myriad of brilliant lights erupted, like a prism that decomposes sunlight. Several colors mixed together to form a beam of light that enveloped the opposing Tyranitar.

[Bangiras has been hit by a Phantom Ball!]

The beam of light passed unimpeded through layers of ice crystal shields, drawing Bangiras into the sphere.

After one round, Tyranitar's health bar hadn't decreased at all; it was still somewhat bewildered when it was released.

However, when it looked in Natsume's direction, its pupils dilated.

Will the cloned Tyranitar's phantom possess the same peculiar power as the original?

If I had one, wouldn't I be able to solve the problem by analyzing the illusions?

Natsume stared intently as the icy blue light condensed within the Phantom Master Ball Rotom.

With a "sizzle," as if printed, a massive figure was replicated.

The air froze the instant the icy blue light burst forth.

A massive white shadow tore through the halo of light, and frost-covered giant wings unfurled with a roar, bringing with them a chilling current.

Its dark gray body was covered with crystalline armor, and at the end of its thick dragon tail, clusters of ice crystals resembled unmelting spearheads.

"That's the legendary Pokémon, Kyurem!"

Two exclamations rang out simultaneously at the entrance of the ice cave.

When the prodigy turned around, he saw Alice holding the dragon-headed gopher, and Langley.

"Come here quickly!"

Jiaozi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled the two of them toward a safe area.

Inside the battlefield.

Bangilas' pupils dilated violently; the moment that enormous figure burst into its field of vision, it froze on the spot.

It forgot to roar, and just stared intently at the outline of the frost.

Natsume's expectant expression instantly froze.

Is this right?
"Hmm, there might be a small problem," Mewtwo's voice sounded slightly embarrassed.

Could it be that the crystal ball it used as a reference, which contained the phantom Kyurem, was not universal and could only replicate Kyurem?
[Bangiras has lost the will to fight.]

A wild Bangali's escaped!

The moment the Kyurem phantom appeared, the rage in the Tyranitar's eyes visibly subsided.

Once the battlefield was cleared, it ran into the ice cave without looking back.

Natsume did not stop him, but stood there, staring at the icicles in the sky, pondering.

He realized that Kyurem's body was very likely hidden inside the ice cave.

As for why that Tyranitar gained some of the other's power, that remains unknown.

But at least there is some good news.

According to the system's broadcast, this Bangila is indeed wild.

How did it get involved with the Pokémon Protection Organization?
After realizing this, Natsume's doubts deepened.

Before he could think about it, Shaka called again.

"Kid, I've taken care of this. Do you need any help?"

"I've mostly sorted things out on my end too," Natsume replied, his gaze subtly glancing at the gradually calming ice-blue pillar of light.

"Really? You met that Bangila?" Shaka asked eagerly.

"No," Natsume replied without hesitation.

"That's good, that's good." Shaka breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily, that Bangalore was quick, otherwise those guys would have really taken advantage of the chaos to escape!"

“Anyway, there’s surveillance, so what’s there to be afraid of? If he escapes, we can put a bounty on his head and use the opportunity to investigate the Pokémon protection organizations in the entire region to see if any of them are taking these people in.” Natsume said casually.

"Come on, once they escape, they'll definitely use this incident to cause trouble."

"I don't even need to think about it, it'll definitely be something like 'The Pokémon protection organization is supported by wild Pokémon, and they even broke into the police station to rescue us'."

On the other end of the phone, Shaka rolled her eyes.

"What about those Dark-type Pokémon?" Natsume suddenly thought of something.

Bangilas rushed back, but his underlings weren't so quick.

“Those are just wild Pokémon. Let’s put them in a shelter. Nobody ordered them to.” Shaka shook his head regretfully. “That’s not necessarily true.” Natsume glanced at the floating platform that Tyranitar had abandoned, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

After hanging up the phone, Natsume picked up the floating platform.

"Hiss~ What is this?"

With his telekinetic powers sweeping across the area, Natsume was horrified to discover that although the floating platform had a mechanical structure, it had no power supply whatsoever.

How does this thing levitate and move such a large weight as Bangiras?

"It feels the same as the Phantom Crystal Ball." Mewtwo's voice suddenly rang in my mind.

"What do you mean?"

"It doesn't seem like a product of this era at all."

As he spoke, Mewtwo's voice grew softer and softer.

"I'm going back to the lab. Your telekinesis is too weak right now."

Natsume stared at the floating platform in his hand for a long time before finally putting it away in silence.

Although the probability is low, if we hand it over to Officer Jenny to investigate, we will definitely be able to find the source of the goods.

If it can't be found, then it must be something from outside the world, like Team Rainbow Rocket.

While I was thinking, someone tugged at my sleeve.

Looking down, I saw it was Alice.

She was holding the dragon-headed ground squirrel, and their relationship seemed to have improved considerably.

Alice and Langley had just crawled out of the ice cave, and they both looked quite disheveled.

Alice still had a few shards of ice clinging to her hair, her little face was a little red from the cold, and her coat was dirty.

Langley wasn't much better off; his trouser legs were soaking wet, and the tip of his nose was red from the cold.

"She bit me."

Alice's lips were swollen and red as she pointed at Langley as if to tattle.

"What do you mean you were bitten? I only gave you CPR because you were unconscious!"

Langley gritted his teeth, furious, and berated Alice for ignoring his good intentions.

After Jiaozi's long explanation, she finally understood that Natsume was not a criminal.

"Unconscious? My telekinesis is useless?"

Natsume looked at Alice with suspicion.

If I remember correctly, I had attached telekinesis to the other person, so it was impossible for them to be knocked unconscious when thrown in.

"It was inside a large block of ice when a beam of light shot into the sky and stunned me."

Alice spoke, gesturing wildly with her hands.

“Is that so?” Natsume stroked his chin.

It sounds like Kyurem's body might be hidden inside a block of ice in an ice cave?

"Do you still remember the route?" Natsume asked Alice curiously.

“It’s too dark, Madam.” Alice shook her head.

"However, I now have this extra on me."

As Alice spoke, she strangely picked up the phantom crystal ball that Natsume had secretly given her.

"I don't know when this magic ball appeared on me. When that beam of light rose, this crystal ball was glowing."

A flicker of memory crossed Alice's eyes.

“Hmm,” Natsume said, taking the crystal ball containing the Kyurem phantom, a hint of certainty flashing in his eyes.

That's right, the one in the ice cave must be Kyurem.

Buying the Academy grants you a free Ice Cave Ecosystem, plus a Kyurem that appears unable to move freely.

From this perspective, it seems like I've gotten a great deal?
However, this Bangila is still a problem.

After thinking for a moment, Natsume got up and called Shaka again.

Where is the shelter?

"What are you going to do?" Shaka asked curiously.

"Give me those Dark-type Pokémon, I have a use for them."
