Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 494 Bangiras Does Not Kill the Old and Young
Natsume held the committee champion's token in his hand, remaining silent for a long time.

After losing the ball, Natsume called out to Lollerton and strode forward, heading straight towards the academy.

Soon, the sandstorm that had disappeared reappeared in Natsume's field of vision.

It's that Bangalore.

Quietly, Lollerton soared through the sky, attracting no attention from the other party.

The previous battle seemed to have taken a toll on Bangalore's stamina. The sandstorm surrounding him was getting smaller and smaller, only maintaining a thin layer around him to cover his body and accelerate.

Natsume looked down from high above, his gaze following the figure moving quickly through the hills and woodlands below.

Bangiras's choice of route caught his attention.

It did not move in a straight line, but deliberately and carefully avoided all areas where there might be people.

However, trouble sometimes comes knocking on your door.

Just as it was trying to quickly cross a depression near a forest road, a young trainer riding a motorcycle, carrying a backpack, and looking quite enthusiastic happened to pass by.

The trainer spotted the enormous figure hurtling through the air and its distinctive, menacing silhouette at a glance, and his eyes instantly lit up with an astonishing light!
"Bangila?! It's huge!!!"

"Go, Cool Leopard, strike at the vitals with a sneak attack!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he threw the Pokémon out and ordered it to launch a swift sneak attack.

"Roar--!!!"

Bangiras, who had been on guard the whole time, was instantly enraged.

The faint sand and dust that was originally just used to cover their bodies suddenly became violent, like a powder keg that had been ignited!

It didn't even turn its head; its massive tail, carrying the destructive power of a sandstorm, swept backward like a terrifying steel whip, shrieking as it tore through the air!

"boom!!"

The young trainer was completely bewildered when his motorcycle flew into the air.

The air currents swirled around him, and he flew higher and higher.

"Hello," Natsume's voice suddenly rang out.

Turning around, the young man was taken aback when he saw Natsume also riding a "motorcycle".

He quickly realized what was happening.

"Aaaaaaah, help me!!!"

Damn it, why can't my motorcycle fly!

Fortunately, at the moment of landing, an invisible blue telekinetic force supported the other party.

After hanging the clueless trainer on the treetop, Natsume's gaze once again locked onto the Tyranitar.

The other person's behavior surprised Natsume.

When it has to cross a path connecting two villages, it will stop in advance, its huge head turning left and right warily to make sure there is no one on the road before letting the levitation device skim quickly across the ground.

On two occasions, Natsume saw it even slow down on its own, its massive body crouching behind the dense bushes, patiently waiting.

One time, I was waiting for an old man carrying firewood to slowly walk along the path;

Another time, they waited for several children chasing and playing to run away and disappear at the village entrance.

Its menacing, scarred carapace head only regained its glimmer of light with a sense of urgency after confirming that the old man and the child had left safely. The previous ferocity was gone from its eyes, replaced by an almost rigid patience, without the slightest hint of impatience.

However, this Tyranitar seemed to ignore all the young trainers, like a speeding truck that couldn't stop, ramming them one by one.

"Beneath its ferocious exterior, does it adhere to some unknown bottom line?" Natsume murmured to himself. This avoidance of the weak stood in stark contrast to its ferocity during its fierce battle with Champion Arderk.

This Tyranitar's principle of not harming the old or the young reminded Natsume of the ice cave that only children could enter before.

Natsume watched silently as the other person slowly moved forward. The massive body carried a sense of weariness yet determination as it flew at low altitude.

According to information obtained from Adek, this Bangira has fought him multiple times.

If you were a member of Team Rainbow Rocket, after first discovering that a champion would be blocking your way, you would definitely choose to avoid the shipping location, Woody Town.

But Team Rainbow Rocket did not do that. Even knowing that Alder was targeting the Tyranitar, they still repeatedly sent items to the hometown of a champion trainer.

It's very obvious that this was intentional.

What's the benefit of letting Alder and this Tyranitar fight?

Natsume stared intently at Tyranitar, whom he had left behind.

He keenly noticed that Bangiras did not have the ice crystal shield on his body, seemingly because he was far away from the ice cave.

When a trainer's Pokémon is injured, it is treated at the Pokémon Center, but Tyranitar can only rely on its own healing abilities.

After being chased by Alderk many times, this Bangiras' body is probably covered with hidden injuries.

Natsume frowned. Based on what Adeker had seen before, the Rainbow Rockets had coveted Kyurem's body many years ago.

It's possible that information from inside the ice cave has already been leaked.

Just then, the enormous figure below seemed to finally succumb to the combined strain of the long journey and its old wounds, and the faint dust enveloping it completely dissipated.

It maneuvered its levitation device to land at the edge of a sparse forest clearing, its massive body leaning heavily against a thick tree, breathing heavily.

Tyranitar pressed his claws against several darker crevices in his carapace on his chest and ribs, his face contorted in pain, clearly indicating that the accumulated internal injuries were beginning to flare up.

"Lollerton, stop for a moment."

In the sky, Natsume suddenly called a halt to the speeding Loletta.

"Stab!"

At the same time, a red light flashed, and a crystal-like spherical figure appeared, gleaming in the sunlight.

"Rotom Crystal Ball, aim at that guy down there." Natsume pointed to Tyranitar, who was leaning against a tree and panting heavily. "Use Heal Ball on him!"

"Loto!"

Rotom nodded, and a soft yet vibrant green beam of light suddenly descended, precisely enveloping the exhausted Bangiras.

"Roar?"

Caught off guard, the latter's pupils contracted sharply, and its body instinctively tensed in preparation for battle. But the beam of light did not contain offensive energy, but rather pure life-healing power, which warmly seeped into its battered carapace and exhausted body.

The next second, the world was spinning.

When it reappeared, Bangalore was still standing in the same spot, staring blankly at its claws.

It subconsciously moved its body, and the heavy, stinging pain that had been like a leech and the difficulty in breathing were greatly reduced!

Although not completely healed, the long-standing hidden injuries seemed to have been soothed, and much of the physical strength had been restored.

"Roar?"

It scratched its head in confusion, its huge eyes filled with bewilderment.

It raised its head and warily scanned the sky, but saw only blue sky and white clouds, nothing else.

Filled with doubt and feeling an unprecedented sense of ease, Bangiras jumped back onto the levitation device and continued running non-stop, only this time, its movements seemed a little lighter.

"Thank you."

Natsume retrieves the Phantom Master Ball Rotom.

Although the Heal Ball couldn't completely heal the Tyranitar, it cleared away most of its injuries.

Although we can only speculate, we don't know the Rainbow Rockets' specific ideas.

But since they want Ardek and this Bangira to both suffer heavy losses, we should do the opposite of what the enemy intends.

Shuanglong City.

Natsume didn't go to the academy immediately, but went to Shaka's office instead.

At the entrance of the city hall, Natsume saw Alice and Langley fighting each other.

"Kids, please don't fight at the entrance, okay? There are Pokémon battlegrounds in the park."

Beside them, two security guards looked at them helplessly.

Seeing this, Natsume raised an eyebrow slightly and walked over slowly.

Alice was almost completely dominating Langley, even snatching his beret and putting it on her own head.

"What are you doing?"

A pair of sneakers, carrying a slightly refreshing scent, stopped beside them. Alice and Langley were slightly taken aback, but immediately reached out to meet them.

"Dean, where's Dragonite? We miss her so much!"

With their faces bruised and swollen, the two blurted out something while their eyes gleamed as they looked at Natsume's waist.

"Wasn't it just this morning that I sent you there?"

Natsume remained silent.

The healthy giant dragon not only has a reassuring size, but its dazed appearance is also very "kind," so it's quite normal that it's popular with children.

"Ow~"

The Great Dragon arrived uninvited, and amidst a flash of red light, she appeared in front of the city hall.

"Yay—ah!"

Before Alice and Langley could rush forward, Natsume grabbed them both by the arms.

Looking at the two men, their faces bruised and swollen, and filled with confusion, Natsume asked them directly:

"Tell me first, why are you fighting?"

In an instant, those words seemed to diminish the two little girls' obsession with Dragonite, and a fighting spirit rose in their eyes.

"She bit me!"

"I'm repaying a favor. Also, she called me a savage girl."

The two started flailing about, kicking each other, and almost started fighting again in Natsume's hands.

"Ouch?"

The giant dragon came closer, staring curiously at Alice and Langrei.

Without a word, Natsume tossed the two to opposite sides, leaving them to the Great Dragonite.

"Well, if you can't beat them, try not to fight them head-on."

Natsume thought about it and felt that Langley might not have the same superhuman physical abilities as Alice, so he tried to dissuade him.

"Who said I can't beat them?"

Langley's eyes widened, then he abruptly turned his head and pointed at the guard beside him:
"It's all their fault for taking sides. Every time I had the upper hand, they pulled me away, but they didn't care that Alice was riding on top of me!"

"I'm so angry," said Langley.

The guard, feeling guilty, turned his head away and glanced to the side.

Natsume: "."

He suddenly felt like he was back a few years ago, when he was mediating between Satoshi and Gary.

But clearly, a little girl is a little girl, and not as easy to mediate as a little boy.

The latter stopped immediately after each person grabbed a brick.

“Take them to the park and let them battle.”

Natsume pointed to the two people being hugged by the giant dragon and said to the security guard beside him.

"I'll remember that. Trainers have their own ways of resolving conflicts."

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

Natsume tapped his head and turned to walk towards Shaka's office on the third floor.
