Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 520 Rainbow N
Under the cold operating lights, the strange energy container in the center of the operating room still emitted a faint blue light, with Cattleya floating inside like a sleeping elf.

But Natsume's attention was already elsewhere.

His consciousness was immersed in the newly opened main world.

It remains a fully equipped laboratory.

But when Natsume's gaze pierced through the open door of the laboratory, he saw a much wider space outside.

In the past, that place would have been a void.

This is much more than just a laboratory!

Everywhere you look, there are neatly arranged precision instruments, operating tables gleaming with cold light, and even independent cultivation chambers simulating different ecological environments.

Lush green vines twine around artificial light, the carapace of a pangolin is faintly visible in the sand, and fluorescent fish swim leisurely in the tank. It is a replica of a fully functional and sizable research institute.

Pushing open the laboratory door, Natsume stepped onto the incredibly realistic ground.

What shocked him most was that the area was extremely vast and contained all sorts of ecosystems!
Natsume was stunned.

His original main world laboratory, limited by spatial rules, could only conduct some highly repetitive indoor experiments.

His weakness has always been the need to simulate real ecological environments and conduct long-term observations in planting or ecological experiments, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult to achieve in the main world.

Before he could delve into this astonishing discovery, a soft "snap" sound came from his mind, as if something had broken free from its restraints.

With that soft sound, Natsume returned to reality.

The glaring white surgical lights shone silently.

Immediately afterwards, a small body pressed against his cheek.

A chibi version of Gadria slipped out of the window in the main world and plopped down on his shoulder.

She seemed frightened by the unfamiliar environment, clumsily grabbing the sides of Natsume's head, her small face pressed tightly against his temples, hugging him tightly as if he were her only lifeline.

"Never mind." Natsume sighed resignedly.

He carefully extended his finger and gently flicked the rounded forehead of the chibi version of Cattleya with his fingertip.

"what!"

The chibi version of Gadriya immediately covered the spot where she had been flicked, raised her small face, and looked at Natsume with a pitiful expression through her large, watery blue eyes.

"You're not allowed to call me 'Dad' anymore, understand?" Natsume's lips twitched slightly as he warned in a low voice.

"Dad!" The chibi version of Cattleya not only ignored him, but also called out confidently, her voice particularly clear in the empty operating room.

"."

Natsume's silence seemed to be a form of encouragement.

The chibi version of Cattleya immediately perked up, opening her little mouth and calling out "Daddy" one after another. Her clear voice echoed between the cold metal walls, filling the entire space.

"what are you doing?"

A cool, calm voice, yet carrying a subtle hint of inquiry, suddenly came from the direction of the doorway.

Natsume's body stiffened slightly.

"Huh?" he murmured in disbelief, slowly turning his head.

At the doorway, a figure stood quietly.

The person who arrived was wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a black mask that covered most of their face, making it impossible to see their features.

However, his long, striking green hair, as pure as emerald, cascading from under his hat brim like a firefly in the night, instantly revealed his identity—

N！

Natsume's gaze subtly swept over the other person's right hand hanging at their side.

On her slender fingers was a simple and elegant ring, with the words "Unity" clearly engraved on the face of the ring, exuding a restrained and profound aura.

Rainbow N!

"Ouch!" Natsume suddenly lifted the chibi version of Cattleya high on his shoulder with one hand.

"Hmm?" The chibi version of Gadriya suddenly floated in the air, her little face full of confusion, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Natsume.

Under the latter's questioning gaze, Natsume's face instantly switched to an expression of utter sorrow. Pointing at the chibi version of Cattleya, he said in a tone of utter disappointment:
"He even called out 'Dad' to save his life!"

"Kid, I despise you!"

As he spoke, Natsume's gaze subtly locked onto Rainbow N at the doorway.

We absolutely cannot let this big fish, which has finally managed to surface, get away.

N seemed to have no interest in Natsume's performance.

Without saying a word, he flipped his right hand, and a seemingly ordinary red and white Poké Ball appeared in his palm.

At the same time, his eyes, hidden in the shadow of his hat brim, sharply swept over the three unconscious subordinates lying haphazardly on the ground behind Natsume.

"Hmm," Natsume replied without changing his expression.

"Them? They were overworked and collapsed."

"Heh." A very soft, slightly mocking snort came from under N's ​​mask.

He didn't dwell on Natsume's nonsense. With a flick of his left hand, a crystal ball containing a miniature Zekrom phantom and shimmering with a mysterious aura appeared in his palm.

His gaze first fell on Gadria, who was sleeping in the energy container, and then, as if it were a physical object, his sharp gaze was fixed on the chibi version of Gadria that Natsume was holding up.

"Whoosh~"

With a flick of N's wrist, the crystal ball traced a precise arc as it was tossed toward Natsume.

"Sigh," Natsume sighed inwardly, realizing that this conflict was unavoidable.

His free left hand quickly reached for the Poké Ball belt at his waist, ready to fight.

However, just as his finger was about to touch the Poké Ball...

Rainbow N's cool, calm voice rang out like a command:

"Dark Sphere!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable magic.

Natsume paused, puzzled.

A dark orb? Where did a dark orb come from?
Then, to Natsume's astonishment, the crystal ball tossed into the air, containing the phantom of Zekrom, suddenly changed. "Whoosh!" A flash of light appeared on the surface of the ball, instantly transforming it into a classic red and white color scheme—a red and white ball!

But this change lasted for less than a moment.

The colors of the spheres shifted again, with the orange-yellow Great Ball, the blue-black Ultra Ball, and the noble purple-gold Master Ball. The shapes of the various Poké Balls changed rapidly on the surface of the crystal ball like a carousel.

In less than a second, the magical crystal ball completed a dazzling transformation in mid-air.

Ultimately, it settled on a deep, ominous blackness—the Dark Sphere.

A cold, oppressive atmosphere spread out.

Natsume's telekinetic powers swept across the floating dark sphere like a tidal wave.

Inside and out, in terms of structure, materials, and energy fluctuations, it is absolutely a genuine dark sphere!
"Huh?!" Natsume was completely stunned.

He envisioned integrating different battle systems such as the Mega Key Stone, Dynamax Bracers, and Z-Crystal Bracelets into a single device.

But he never dreamed that someone could integrate all types of Poké Balls into one device.

And it's voice command, instant switching?!

What kind of cutting-edge technology is this?!
"Stab~"

Just as Natsume was stunned and lost in thought, the solidified dark sphere suddenly shot out a dark beam of light.

The beam of light hit the chibi version of Cattleya, who was being held aloft by Natsume, with perfect precision.

"Woo!"

The chibi version of Gadlia only managed to let out a short, painful whimper before her delicate face instantly lost all color, and her large eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

Her small body struggled and twisted violently in the dim beam of light, then turned into a stream of light and was forcibly sucked into the pitch-black sphere.

"Clap!"

The dark ball arced through the air and landed steadily in Rainbow N's outstretched hand.

He didn't even glance at Natsume, simply stuffing the Dark Orb into his pocket, then lowered his hat brim, turned and left, his movements swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

"Stop!" Natsume finally snapped out of his shock.

In a flash, Natsume appeared behind Rainbow N.

However, Rainbow N seems to have eyes in the back of its head.

Without turning his head, he flicked his left hand behind him.

"Leshiram!"

He threw out another crystal ball containing a miniature Reshiram phantom.

boom--! ! !
The moment the crystal ball left my hand, the tiny image of Reshiram inside it seemed to come alive and suddenly expanded.

The blinding white light, like a supernova explosion, instantly engulfed everything around it.

An indescribable, terrifying heatwave, originating from ancient legends, swept across the land like a tangible tsunami.

“Roar——!!!”

A deafening dragon roar echoed through the sky, accompanied by an even more violent release of energy.

The sturdy alloy walls were torn apart like paper.

The ceiling collapsed with a crash, and the supporting steel beams twisted and broke.

The entire underground research institute.

No, it was the entire building, disguised as a rehabilitation and convalescent center, that, faced with this devastating force, was like a block being crushed by a giant, groaning under its unbearable weight, before completely collapsing and disintegrating.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and gravel rained down like a storm.

The moment Reshiram appeared, Natsume was violently thrown away by that terrifying heat wave.

He barely managed to protect himself with his telekinesis, rolling several times in the ruins before regaining his balance.

He suddenly looked up, and golden mental energy instantly dispelled the smoke and dust in front of him.

The site of the former research institute has now been reduced to a huge ruin.

In the center of the ruins, a giant dragon, covered in pure white feathers and with its tail burning with blue flames, stood proudly, as if it had stepped out of a myth.

"The White Dragon again?"

Natsume frowned.

Its golden pupils, like a burning sun, coldly looked down at the tiny Natsume below, the intense heat emanating from its body distorting the air.

【Phantom Reshiram, LV100】

The system assigns a rating.

However, Natsume's gaze only lingered on the stunning phantom Reshiram for a moment before quickly sweeping around.

Rainbow N has vanished without a trace.

Only a few black dragon scales, their edges shimmering with an eerie light, like shattered mirrors, lay quietly on the scorched earth at Reshiram's feet.

Natsume wiped the dust off his face, his eyes cold.

Ran?

It's ok.

He took the chibi version of Cattleya simply because he wanted to use the power of the Life Doll to activate the core of the Sky Eye satellite.

unfortunately
The Eye of the Sky had long since taken his shape.

But now
Natsume slowly stood up, his gaze returning to the white dragon radiating an aura of destruction.

A wave of scorching heat hit us, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

"Roar--!"

The phantom Reshiram let out a roar full of battle intent, and the blue flames at its tail suddenly surged, illuminating the surrounding ruins.

The most urgent task is to solve the immediate problem.
