Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 517 Gradually Crowded
On the highway, the white van, like a silent fish, smoothly weaves through the traffic.

Like the shadow on the roof of the car, Natsume concealed all his presence, even using his telekinesis to skillfully divert and smooth out the wind pressure brought by the high-speed travel.

The four people inside the car maintained a suffocating silence and a clear division of labor.

The driver focused on driving, the young man in the passenger seat occasionally made notes on his tablet, the team leader in the back seat was in charge of communication, and Cattleya was in charge of remaining unconscious.

Time flows by as the wheels of a car keep turning.

Finally, the car entered the territory of Feiyun City and crossed the iconic Feiyun Bridge.

"Hey, why is this car so fuel-inefficient?"

With a surprised exclamation tinged with doubt from the driver, the truck turned right and entered the side...
The road eventually led to a private hospital.

"Oh~"

Natsume narrowed his eyes. No wonder he protested a while ago about separating hospitals for humans and Pokémon.

Under the original alliance laws, there were very few private hospitals.

The car carrying Cattleya quickly drove into the hospital's underground parking garage.

"Whoosh~" As the wheels came to a stop, the five people in the car once again demonstrated their tacit cooperation.

The driver impatiently walked to the back door, his head partially hidden behind it.

"Give me the key."

"Here you go." Natsume casually tossed out a master key.

"Why is my tablet so laggy? What did you guys do with it?"

Inside the car, the monitor looked down and tapped the stuck tablet with annoyance.

"I think the signal is bad. Here you go." Natsume tossed over a small, unidentified device that looked like a small pot lid.

"Tsk, why aren't they here yet?"

“I think he’s sleeping under our car,” Natsume said confidently.

As they were speaking, the people around them suddenly froze.

The metallic clanging sound of the lock being opened suddenly stopped.

The tapping sound on the tablet suddenly disappeared.

The leader's eyes widened in disbelief.

The thin boy in front of them was wearing a mask, so his face was not clearly visible, but their intuition told them that this person was definitely not a contact.

In an instant, the six people faced each other, their voices rising and falling.

"Depend on!"

"Not allowed to move!"

"Who the hell are you?"

"Who am I?"

"Pika!?"

“Hulu Zzzz”

Almost instantly, three dark gun barrels were pointed at Natsume.

The pervasive smell of gunpowder and the tense atmosphere made the seven people present extremely nervous.

"Awww~"

The giant dragon thumped its chest.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Almost simultaneously, the middle-parted hair moved as fast as lightning.

The three guns were reduced to scrap metal in the blink of an eye. The speed at which the middle-parted gun hit the ground was even faster than the sound of the first piece hitting the ground.

"you."

Bang bang bang!
After three dull thuds, Daikai Ryu used his sword to grab the three terrorists stuck to his hands.

"All right."

Natsume's eyes gleamed with golden light.

Within a few breaths, all the obsidian dragon scale tokens carried by the three terrorists were found.

Unexpectedly, each of the three people had two obsidian dragon scale tokens.

"strangeness."

Natsume didn't delve too deeply into it.

Compared to them instantly drawing their guns, the two obsidian dragon scale tokens for each person seemed perfectly reasonable.

After a series of soft rustling sounds, four unconscious "corpses" lay neatly arranged under the car.

There is another person who should be the contact person.

However, Natsume discovered him beforehand using his telekinesis and knocked him unconscious. The moment the car stopped, he moved the other person under the car.

The flickering lights, the four corpses lying neatly under the car, the faint breathing of a girl, and the indifferent boy holding a golden dragon scale in his hand.

The eerie scene created sent chills down the spines of the eight people present.

"What are you doing? Why are you making such a scary scene!"

A voice sounded behind him. Natsume turned around and found another contact, whose face was hidden under a mask and could not be seen clearly.

"Who are you? Where's Murata?!" the man exclaimed.

Murata might be the unfortunate contact he knocked unconscious with his telekinesis. But none of that matters. What matters is that of the nine people present, everyone except Cattleya and himself must be "invisible"!
"Are you the one delivering this goods? Are you the only one?"

Natsume was about to make his move when, for some reason, another person who looked like a contact suddenly appeared beside him, also covering his face.

Where did this ninth person come from?
Natsume was shocked.

"Yes, I'm the deliveryman."

Natsume went along with it and blurted out whatever came to mind.

"Is that so? Shall I touch your dragon scales?"

As the contact spoke, he took out an obsidian dragon scale.

Natsume glanced at it without making a sound.

Using those few people's obsidian dragon scales, they'll probably be seen through very quickly.

Using those terrorists who hijacked the plane and were previously executed?

The idea of ​​the dead returning seems even more unreliable.

After thinking for a moment, Natsume tentatively picked up the golden dragon scale in his hand and touched it.

Seeing this, the two men's eyes darkened, and they quietly reached for the Poké Balls at their waists.

Where can I find golden dragon scales?

Moreover, this design is entirely accompanied by auspicious clouds, which is so un-"organized and unbalanced" that it's almost too much of a misnomer.

"Ding~"

A clear and melodious sound rang out, ending with a lingering echo of a violent dragon's roar.

The man retrieved his obsidian dragon scale, glanced at it, and froze on the spot.

"what happened?"

His companions curiously crowded around.

"Deputy Deputy Leader!!!"

In an instant, an excited voice rang out, making the eardrums of the ten people present ache.

"What are you yelling about?!"

Suddenly, another person appeared out of nowhere and slapped the startled contact across the face.

Is that some other dimension behind it?
Natsume curiously looked behind the three of them.

As the two contacts explained, a glint suddenly appeared in the eyes of the contact who seemed to be the leader.

"Sir, did you come alone?"

He went to meet him, and when he saw that there was no one behind Natsume, only a lone car, he was stunned.

“You know, Officer Jenny has been keeping a close eye on us. I don’t know why we let the news slip this time.”

Natsume suddenly spoke in a deep voice, mimicking Quixes' tone with his telekinesis.

Upon hearing this, the contact leader was taken aback:
"Then, the three of them?"

"Yes, the league has actually sent out the incredibly powerful, young, and terrifying newly crowned Unova Champion—Natsume—to snipe us!"

Natsume's voice carried a hint of sorrow:
"They...sacrificed themselves!"

Unexpectedly, these words did not frighten the three people in front of them at all.

Instead, they were all in tears, their bodies trembling with emotion.

"What an honor! They actually sacrificed themselves for that lord!"

"Damn it, they went to serve Lord War before me!!"

After listening to their conversation, Natsume almost thought the four people in front of him were all perverts.

"Alright, let's stop here for now, Deputy Chief. They're already urging us on."

The newcomer urged Natsume on.

"Ah."

Natsume then walked towards the people behind them.

Upon closer inspection, he was shocked to discover that there was no door there.

Instead, several obsidian dragon scales were lined up in a row, their black light forming a bubble-like area.

Seeing this, Natsume's heart stirred.

Could it be that this is how the terrorists on the plane obtained their weapons?
Without much hesitation, Natsume took a step forward.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at a pure white corridor.

Natsume turned around and looked at the spot where he had stepped out.

In the center of the corridor, there was a bubble-like area, also formed by those dragon scales.

Teleportation array?

What kind of technology is this?

Natsume suddenly remembered the teleportation circles he would encounter in the maze minigames before certain gym challenges in the Pokémon series.

But that's just a game! It would be terrifying if something like that were made in real life!
