Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 516 Another terrorist?
Whoosh-!
The golden psychic power acted like an invisible propulsion system, carrying Natsume at high speed over the densely packed buildings of Ssou Ryu City.

The wind pressure made his hair stand on end, but he didn't care about his appearance at all. His sharp eyes were fixed on the fast-moving red dot on his phone screen—Cattleya.

"Accelerating from 90km/h to 100km/h. Is this driver in a hurry to die?"

While making sarcastic remarks, Natsume adjusted his direction according to the map.

He moved like a silent golden lightning bolt, weaving through the shadows of skyscrapers at such speed that he was just a blurry afterimage in the eyes of ordinary people.

In just a few breaths, he had caught up with his target.

Below, a white van bearing a striking green Poké Ball logo and the words "Flying Cloud City Pokémon Protection Organization" is driving smoothly along the main road.

The vehicle was clean and tidy, its driving trajectory was stable, and its speed remained at the speed limit. It looked like an ordinary official vehicle.

"A Pokémon protection organization?" Natsume hovered in mid-air, his brows furrowed slightly.

The Pokémon protection organization in Shuanglong City had long been sent to prison by him.

The remaining sites, or property and facilities, were also confiscated by Shaka.

The only way a Pokémon protection organization vehicle could appear in Ottoman City right now is from another city.

Suddenly, Natsume remembered the information he had seen outside the hospital room.

Caitlia, the Elite Four member of the Psychic type, appears to be a nominal advisor to the Pokémon organization.

“That makes sense.” Natsume’s tense nerves relaxed instantly.

He patted his forehead.

"What are you thinking? She's one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Unova, a telekinetic cultivator at the level of the main world. Who could kidnap her?"

Natsume guessed that someone from a Pokémon protection organization was looking for her to talk to, and had picked her up on the way.

Although Natsume was somewhat disgusted by the Pokémon organization, which seemed to be a front for Team Rainbow Rocket, he couldn't be bothered to interfere in other people's affairs.

Thinking about this, Natsume suddenly felt utterly bored.

He changed direction, preparing to return to the Pokémon Center to continue studying the newly hatched golden Rotom.

"It was a false alarm."

He muttered to himself, his body already beginning to float back.

However, in the instant he turned around...

Om-!
A burning sensation suddenly came from his arms.

Natsume instinctively clutched his chest, feeling the war dragon scale he kept close to his body burning intensely even through his clothes.

Natsume took it out with a puzzled look.

This War Dragon Scale, evolved from the Peace Dog, has a gilded and colorful appearance and exudes a peaceful aura.

But at this moment, large plumes of black light emerged from the deepest part.

It frantically conveyed to Natsume a chilling, blood-soaked rhythmic consciousness.

The feeling was one of excitement, like finding a kindred spirit.

wrong,

Natsume's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart felt as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand.

He turned around abruptly, his telekinetic powers instantly focusing in his eyes, piercing through the metal shell of the white van.

The scene inside the car came into clear view of him.

In the back seat, Cattleya quietly tilted her head, her long golden hair scattered messily on the seat, her eyes closed, and her long eyelashes casting faint shadows on her pale cheeks.

Her breathing was weak, and she seemed to have lost all her strength, collapsing limply to the ground.

This is definitely not a sleep; it's a deep coma.

What made Natsume's heart sink even more was...

The delicate Poké Ball belt around her waist was now empty.

All the red and white balls have vanished. "This is truly a close call."

Natsume clapped his hands, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked on with great interest.

"Teleport!"

Without a sound, his figure vanished from the spot like a ghost, and the next second, he was already silently clinging to the roof of the white van like a gecko.

Natsume carefully lowered his body, using his telekinetic senses to quietly probe into the car like a spider web, while listening intently.

There were three people in the driver's seat, all dressed in neat Pokémon Protection Organization uniforms, and they looked like ordinary employees or drivers.

The driver was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance. He held the steering wheel steadily, and his knuckles were slightly large. In particular, the skin on the inside of his index finger and thumb seemed to be darker than the surrounding skin, as if it were a mark left by long-term friction.

He stared intently at the road ahead, his expression calm and unperturbed.

A young man wearing glasses was sitting in the passenger seat, holding a tablet computer, seemingly looking up information.

He would occasionally look up to check the road conditions, his movements natural.

However, Natsume noticed that on the second joint of the index and middle fingers of his left hand, which was resting on his lap, there were very fine, almost invisible calluses.

It didn't look like something left by swiping on a tablet; it looked more like something worn down by holding a hard object of a certain shape for a long time.

Besides the unconscious Cattleya, a middle-aged man who looked like the team leader was also sitting in the back seat.

He closed his eyes, seemingly resting, and his breathing was even.

His hands rested naturally on his knees, his fingers long and clean. But Natsume keenly noticed that when he occasionally adjusted his posture, the cuff of his right sleeve rolled up slightly, revealing a tiny, extremely faint, light-colored mark on the inside of his wrist that almost blended into his skin.

The shape resembled a tiny, rounded triangular scar.

Natsume has seen this scar before.

Among the terrorists who hijacked the plane last time, one of the leaders also had a similar mark on his arm.

This is what Natsume observed when Officer Jenny took him to give a statement and took "ID photos" of those people.

Natsume frowned slightly and glanced at the road conditions.

They are heading away from the city center of Shuanglong.

The car was quiet, with only the hum of the engine and the sound of tires rubbing against the road.

A moment later, the young man in the passenger seat spoke in a low, clear voice:
"The situation is stable, and the estimated arrival time remains unchanged."

The driver simply grunted in response and said nothing more.

The middle-aged man in the back seat kept his eyes closed, as if he hadn't heard anything.

After a while, the driver said casually:

"The weather in Feiyun City is nice, perfect for delivery."

The young man in the passenger seat swiped his finger across the tablet and replied:
"Yes, the recipient has confirmed the venue."

The middle-aged man in the back seat finally opened his eyes slightly, his gaze calmly sweeping over the unconscious Cattleya without any emotional fluctuation. He simply said:
"Keep communication silent until we reach the front area, then we will contact you again."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable calmness.

The car accelerated smoothly, turned onto the highway entrance leading to Feiyun City, merged into the traffic, and sped towards Feiyun City.

Although I couldn't understand the slang these guys were using.

But Natsume knew that the people who kidnapped Cattleya were most likely terrorists from a terrorist organization.

Moreover, they are most likely related to the Eye in the Sky project.

There was no rush to rescue Catharia. Natsume simply lay prone on the roof of the car, using his telekinesis to distort light and shadow and erase his own existence.

He was very curious to know if Cattleya's influence could draw out some key figures from Team Rainbow Rocket.

He concealed all his presence, becoming like an inconspicuous shadow on the roof of the car, letting the speeding vehicle carry him towards Feiyun City.
