Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 497 Madam, This is My Seat

In the VIP waiting room on the side of the parliamentary hall, the atmosphere was far less noisy than in the main hall, but just as tense.

Shaka, the burly, resolute-looking former mayor, was calmly sipping his tea.

Several core members of the city hall stood beside him, their expressions all carrying a hint of imperceptible solemnity.

Xia Ka's gaze kept sweeping towards the doorway, with a hint of barely perceptible anxiety in his eyes—didn't that kid Xia Mu say that Adek had given him the championship title?

Where are they?! In such a critical situation, the stance of the alliance representatives is of paramount importance.

Standing opposite him was Rogers.

This entrepreneur, around thirty years old, was impeccably dressed in a suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he wore a perfectly timed, confident, and charming smile.

He was followed by several equally elite-looking assistants.

"Mayor Shaka, Shuanglong City has indeed laid a solid foundation under your governance."

Rogers' voice was gentle and polite, but a hint of sharpness was hidden in his words: "However, times are changing rapidly, and citizens crave more efficient and modern management, as well as broader development prospects. I believe my 'Future Twin Dragons' plan will better meet the expectations of the citizens."

Shaka put down his teacup, his gaze sharp: "Mr. Rogers, development is important, but a solid foundation, the well-being of the citizens, and harmonious coexistence with Pokémon are the keys to the long-term prosperity of Odd Dragon City. Your plan is too ambitious and carries too much risk."

"Risk often comes with opportunity, Mr. Mayor." Rogers' smile remained unchanged, but his tone carried an undeniable air of authority.
"Being too conservative will only cause Shuanglong City to miss opportunities and fall behind in the development wave of the Unova region. I believe that both the citizen representatives and..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping intentionally or unintentionally across the door leading to the main venue. "Representatives of the Alliance Committee tend to favor leaders with vision and decisiveness."

He emphasized the words "representative of the Alliance Committee," a determined glint in his eyes.

His company has a deep partnership with the family behind Cattleya, and he himself has made several attempts to get close to the owner of the Battle Castle.

Although Cattleya maintained a polite distance from him, Rogers believed that, in matters involving city development and family interests, Cattleya would at least not oppose him.

That's his confidence.

Shaka frowned slightly, about to retort, when a faint, unusual commotion came from the direction of the main venue, which quickly subsided.

"It seems the representative has arrived." Rogers straightened his tie, his smile becoming even more confident.

"It's time for us to enter, Mr. Mayor. Hopefully, we can reach a consensus after the meeting."

The two, each with their own team, headed towards the door leading to the main venue.

Caldelia sat on the pure white throne, her powerful spiritual aura enveloping the entire area.

She was preparing to announce the start of the meeting.

at this time--

"Squeak~"

The main doors in front of the auditorium suddenly opened.

At this crucial moment, almost everyone instinctively turned their gaze towards it, including Cattleya.

Is Adek here?
Has it changed to a beat-matching style this time?
However, a young man with a blank expression walked in.

Natsume had to admit that doing several things at once was a very bad habit.

Because once you close your eyes, you don't know when you'll wake up again.

Yawning, Natsume scanned the entire room.

Finally, his gaze settled on Cattleya.

"Who is this person?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a representative from the civic district?"

"That's really something, arriving right on time. Does he think he's a representative of the Alliance Committee?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but Natsume seemed to have skipped over the area designated for citizen representatives.

In an instant, the area of ​​business representatives, which had been discussing the matter most quietly yet most intensely, fell silent.

Could this guy be a representative of entrepreneurs?

Amidst suspicious glances, Natsume swept past the area designated for business representatives.

"Gym Leader?"

Wait a minute, all eight gym leaders we invited have already arrived!

The thought involuntarily popped into everyone's mind.

As expected, Natsume flew straight through the Gym Leader area.

After glancing curiously at the eight gym leaders, Natsume walked straight toward Cattleya without looking back.

Upon seeing this, the hall fell into an unusual silence for a moment.

"What is that guy going to do?"

"Got it, that kid's going to try and chat up Miss Cattleya!"

Someone said it jokingly.

Cattleya tilted her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Natsume.

She didn't understand why, ever since this guy came in, the fertilized egg inside her had been restless.

"It's him?"

The moment she saw Natsume clearly, Gadriya was slightly taken aback, looking even more bewildered.

"Miss, this is my seat."

Out of consideration for Cattleya's feelings, Natsume whispered and showed her a screenshot from before the Alliance's official website had reviewed it.

Gadriya tilted her head and looked for a long time before finally deciding to open the official website herself.

"No."

Cattleya held up her phone, a question mark appearing on her face.

“Then I have this.” Natsume took out a large pile of documents that Alder had given him, as well as the most representative and difficult-to-forge League Committee championship token.

"Well"

After a moment of contemplation, Gadriya still shook her head blankly, looking as if she had already decided on the official website.

"Huh?" Natsume stood there, stunned.

"Miss Cattleya, I'm giving you a lot of face right now." Natsume said with a forced smile. Damn it, he really wanted to take Takeran away right away and give this girl a makeover.

"Never mind, Adek left his contact information, you can ask him yourself."

Natsume thought for a moment, dialed the number, and handed it to Cattleya.

After a brief conversation, Gadriya looked at Natsume, smiled and shook her head, as if she was determined to stay in that position.

"Ouch!!!"

There is no need to endure it anymore.

Natsume was absolutely certain that the woman in front of him was doing it on purpose.

Without hesitation, Natsume turned around and, ignoring that no one was on the stool, plopped down on it.

Natsume sat down without a care, landing solidly on Cattleya's soft lap.

"Hmm," Cattleya let out a short, muffled groan, as if a pause button had been pressed.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Cattleya's crystal eyes, which were always clear, calm, and somewhat aloof, were now completely unfocused.

Her red lips were slightly parted, and her face, as delicate as a doll's, first showed a trace of disbelief and bewilderment. Then, like a lake surface tossed with a pebble, it was quickly overwhelmed by an unprecedented and intense emotion.

It was a mixture of immense shame, instinctive astonishment from the physical impact, and the chaos of some kind of power within him being completely unleashed.

System crash!

Her thoughts completely stopped, and her mind went blank.

Her upper body, maintaining an elegant sitting posture, was stiff as a sculpture. Only her legs, which were being sat on by Natsume, could feel the real weight and temperature, as well as the sensation that made her soul tremble.

And after a brief, suffocating silence, the entire Shuanglong City Council auditorium—

"boom!!!"

Like a powder keg that had been lit, it exploded instantly.

"He...he...he sat down?!"

"Lawless!"

"Security! Where are the security guards?! Arrest this thug!!"

The district of citizen representatives erupted in incredulous exclamations and angry accusations.

The entrepreneurs were collectively stunned, their jaws nearly dropping to the floor. Their proud elite minds were completely unable to process the absurd scene before them.

The dojo master area exploded instantly.

Xiao Ju'er covered her mouth in shock, her beautiful eyes wide open;

Old Master Ju slammed his hand on the armrest and stood up abruptly. The desert dragonfly beside him let out a sharp screech and spread its wings angrily.

The other gym leaders also stood up. The powerful Pokémon sensed their masters' intense emotional fluctuations and instantly entered battle stance, with energy waves surging in the area.

"You bastard!!!" A furious roar exploded like thunder.

Rogers' face was completely contorted with extreme anger. He no longer cared about being a gentleman and rushed out of the business area, his eyes bloodshot as he lunged at the platform.

"Get down here, you damn scoundrel!!"

Shaka: "."

You're the one who always stirs things up.

The scene was completely out of control.

Several security guards who had reacted rushed toward the platform, trying to drag the audacious thug down.

However, just as Rogers was about to step onto the stairs, and the security guard's hand was about to touch Natsume's clothes—

hum! ! !
An invisible yet immense and vast psychic force, like the most solid barrier, erupted without warning, centered on Cattleya.

The pale blue mental ripples instantly spread out, forming a visible spherical force field that completely enveloped the entire small platform.

boom! boom! boom!
Rogers and several security guards who were at the forefront were thrown back as if they had hit an invisible, flexible steel wall. They fell to the ground with a series of cries and thuds.

The others were also forced back by this powerful repulsive force, unable to get any closer.

"It's Miss Cattleya's superpower."

"She's protecting that thug?!"

"No! It's out of control! Her power is out of control!"

The crowd stared in horror at the pale blue mental barrier, feeling the terrifying power it contained, and dared not move forward for a moment.

Natsume, who was protected at the center of the barrier, or rather, trapped at the center by this out-of-control force, also noticed the abnormality at this moment.

Furthermore, Natsume regretted sitting down so abruptly.

The moment he sat down, he felt the immense and pure superpower within Cattleya erupt like a volcano.

But what surprised him even more was that the life doll inside Cattleya seemed to have developed some inexplicable interest in him.

He couldn't get up even if he wanted to. The telekinetic power within the Life Doll was flowing freely through both Natsume and Cattleya, binding the two together.

call out!
The white light doll suddenly burst out of Cattleya's body, like a nimble light fish, and instantly disappeared into Natsume's body.

"Huh?!" Natsume's body stiffened abruptly.

An indescribable, warm, and strange energy flow instantly swept through my body, as if my soul had been gently caressed, bringing an extremely comfortable yet utterly unfamiliar sense of connection.

He subconsciously looked down at Cattleya, whose head was drooping on his shoulder.

Almost the instant the doll entered Natsume's body, Gadriya's pretty face, which had been flushed with shame and indignation, suddenly lost all color and turned deathly pale.

Her unfocused eyes suddenly regained a glimmer of light, but it was filled with extreme terror and a sense of emptiness as if her soul had been ripped away. Her body trembled violently, and she let out a sob that sounded like a cry: "No! No!"

call out!
The white doll seemed to have only curiously looked around Natsume's body before instantly emerging from it and returning to Cattleya's body.

"what!"

Cattleya's body trembled violently as if electrocuted, and her pale cheeks visibly flushed red again, more vibrant and luscious than before, like those of a ripe apple.

The blush even spread to her delicate collarbone and earlobes.
