Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 515 The Kidnapped Cattleya
Under Natsume's shocked gaze, Cattleya actually did as she was told!
She took out a phone with a cute Gardevoir cartoon headband, and with her slender fingers, she tapped the screen and skillfully brought up the stock market interface.

After finishing her task, she didn't act immediately. Instead, she tilted her head and, with a hint of natural curiosity, looked at the red and white Poké Ball hanging from Natsume's waist.

"Middle parting." Jiaozi immediately understood and accurately pressed the button on one of the Poké Balls.

“PihuhuZzzzz”

With a flash of red light, Pikachu's parted head, which had been fast asleep, was released.

With its back to everyone, its small, plump body was curled up, and its fluffy tail was still swaying unconsciously in its sleep, emitting a soft snore.

"Smell it." Gadriya crouched down and gently held the phone screen, which displayed stock market information, below the nose of the man with the middle parting.

"Sniff sniff~"

In his sleep, the tip of his nose twitched instinctively twice.

“Pikachu.” It frowned slightly, seemingly uncomfortable with the unfamiliar electronic presence.

The little head turned to the other side, and it continued to drift off to sleep, even stretching its hind legs and letting out a fart.

The assessment is complete—Ignoring the middle-parted hair.

After doing all this, Cattleya stood up, still holding her phone in a daze.

Her clear eyes were filled with pure confusion. From the time the incident occurred until now, she still didn't understand why Natsume wanted her to do these things.

“Alright, Miss Cattleya,” Natsume clapped his hands, looking relaxed as if he had accomplished his mission.

“You can go back and persuade your family now.” He spoke casually, as if he were seeing a guest off at his own home.

Gardelia was taken aback. She subconsciously looked up at the slogan "Warm, Healing, Service" on the wall of the Pokémon Center, and then looked down at her unresponsive phone screen.

"Ok."

She responded crisply, without asking any further questions. She simply turned around obediently, took a few steps with her delicate little leather shoes, and walked slowly out of the Pokémon Center.

Her long, golden hair swayed gently behind her, leaving a faint scent of tree fruit.

Almost the instant her figure disappeared outside the door, Natsume swiftly pulled his phone out of his pocket.

The screen lights up, displaying a detailed map of Ottoman City, currently focused on the Pokémon Center area.

A bright, constantly flashing red dot is slowly drifting away from the coordinates of the Pokémon Center at a steady pace.

Jiaozi curiously leaned closer and, after just one glance, immediately recognized it—the little red dot represented Cattleya, who had just left.

"Mr. Natsume!" Jiaozi puffed out her cheeks instantly, like an angry Jigglypuff, her voice filled with accusation.

"what?"

Without looking up, Natsume's fingers flew across the screen as he adjusted the parameters and signal strength of the tracking device.

"How could you... um..." Jiao Zi began, but swallowed the words back down her throat.

"Mr. Natsume, are you concerned about Miss Catharia's safety?"

Jiaozi's voice was soft, with a barely perceptible grinding of her teeth.

“You have thirteen.” Natsume replied casually, swiping his finger across the screen to bring up another interface.

Next to the portrait representing the pride of the child, there were thirteen small red dots densely packed around it.

They clustered together, forming a huge red dot that was so prominent that it occupied almost half of the central area of ​​the Pokémon map.

“Ahhh?!”

Jiaozi's eyes widened instantly as she stared at the screen in disbelief. Then, her fair cheeks turned bright red at a visible speed, as if they had been steamed.

She instinctively cupped her burning cheeks in her hands, and it seemed as if steam was rising from the top of her head.

Amidst the swirling moisture, a deeper, almost blood-red hue quickly covered the original crimson.

"Why."

The girl twisted her body, her toes unconsciously scraping the ground, the sound as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

She leaned against Natsume's shoulder without thinking. "Because we've known each other for a long time!" Natsume replied matter-of-factly.

He sticks these location stickers on his clothes. Every time he sees a new piece of clothing, Natsume will habitually stick one on.

Naturally, the longer you know someone and the more you interact with them, the more devices they might carry.

For example, Natsume gets a headache just thinking about Ash's house.

On his tracking software, Xiao Zhi's home location was not visible at all; the entire field of vision was submerged by a dense sea of ​​red dots.

Hmm. Maybe that's a drawback.

"How long have you known each other?"

Jiaozi lowered her head, her ear tips were bright red, and the stray hairs on her forehead covered her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression.

Soon, Natsume's exclamation broke the delicate atmosphere.

Wow! She's practically a superhero!

Like a child who has discovered a new toy, Natsume excitedly turned his phone screen towards the child, which displayed Cattleya's tracking icon and real-time data.

Jiaozi curiously leaned closer and discovered that the software Natsume had created was quite comprehensive, even able to display the movement speed of the marked person in real time.

At this moment, next to the small red dot representing Cattleya, a number is clearly marked: 90km/h.

"Yes, Mr. Natsume,"

A blush, like that of the sunset, still lingered on Jiao Zi's face as she tried to make her voice sound calm.

"I suppose Miss Cattleya has already boarded the train?" she tried to offer a plausible explanation.

"Really?" Natsume blinked belatedly.

Seemingly to ease the tension, Jiao Zi smiled and said:

"Mr. Natsume, why don't you release such an interesting piece of software to the public?"

“I was listed before, but I was handcuffed by Officer Jenny, and Professor Oak bailed me out.” Natsume didn’t hide anything.

Pride: "."

Natsume didn't care, but Takako blushed, feeling that she had made the atmosphere even more awkward.

Jiaozi pursed her lips, forced a smile, and pointed to another small red dot on the screen, not far from the Pokémon Center, almost two blocks away, and asked:
"Mr. Natsume, why is there a little red dot here? It looks like it fell off Miss Cattleya?"

She was referring to that small, stationary dot.

Unexpectedly, Natsume merely glanced at it casually and then shook his head:
"Oh, that one."

“That’s a sticker I put on the car that the butler of the Cattleya family drives. He should still be parked there waiting.”

"Oh," Jiaozi nodded in agreement, but the next second, she and Natsume realized at almost the same time that something was wrong.

The two turned their heads sharply, their eyes meeting in mid-air, both seeing surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.

Natsume's pupils suddenly contracted.

its not right.

The butler and the car were still parked in the same spot.

Who picked up Cattleya, who is now moving at 90 km/h?!

In an instant, Natsume's mind flashed with the image of the telekinetic capsule inside the Eye of the Sky satellite, which was meant to house the life doll.

Rainbow Rocket Team's intention to launch ahead of schedule
The life-giving doll inside Cattleya's body.
Natsume's expression changed slightly.

Whoosh-!
His figure instantly transformed into a blurry golden afterimage, vanishing completely from the spot as if it had disappeared into thin air.

All that remained was a faint, almost imperceptible fluctuation of telekinetic energy in the air and the stunned, proud young man standing there.
