Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 526 An Unconventional Follower
The Pokémon Center in Osaka City, with its familiar lights and the calls of Pokémon, brings a sense of peace.

Natsume slumped into a white chair in the rest area and let out a long sigh.

With the trip to Flying Cloud City concluded and the Eye of the Sky successfully launched, Rainbow Rocket Team's wingman plan appeared to be a success, but in reality, he had already undermined it.

He should have enjoyed this moment of relaxation.

However, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes held a hint of barely perceptible distress.

The source of his distress was this bill in his hand.

This is the money Adek owed at that hospital.

Natsume was incredibly curious about how the other party had maxed out the Alliance's personal medical credit limit and incurred such a large debt.

Despite the enormous medical benefits offered by various regions within the league, the opposing team is still the champion!

Even if you hire someone to do it, you might not be able to achieve such results!

Just as Natsume was feeling sentimental, his phone rang.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Zheng Hui.

"Huh? Senior brother, you actually called me!?"

Natsume was shocked.

"Hahahahahaha!!!"

On the other end, Zheng Hui's laughter couldn't stop.

The other person laughed for a full three minutes before finally coughing.

After a violent coughing fit, the sound of tables and chairs falling over was heard.

Natsume: "."

After waiting another three minutes, he finally heard some noise from Zheng Hui's end.

"What's making you so happy?" Natsume raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Natsume, do you still remember?" Masaki asked excitedly, his words tumbling out incoherently.

"Remember what?" Natsume asked curiously.

"It's that project of mine before, the one where Psyduck got hit on the head, the one you all didn't think much of, the one I invested all my savings in!"

Zhenghui kept repeating it.

"So?" Natsume was even more puzzled.

That project has long since failed.

Zheng Hui only sold two of his custom-made mini hammers.

One was bought by Professor Oak, and another was bought incorrectly by myself, so now there are three.

Natsume suddenly remembered that after he recommended it to Xiaoxia, she seemed to have also sponsored one as a favor.

"A thousand! Someone ordered a thousand Psyduck head stress-applying hammers from me!!!"

Zheng Hui's loud laughter rang out again, never ceasing.

Natsume: "."

Who's so stupid?

Is it Psyduck himself?

"Oh, right," Zheng Hui suddenly asked.

What are the physical characteristics of a Psyduck that is 160cm tall and weighs 40kg?

Zheng Hui was somewhat troubled:

“My customer said that his Psyduck seems a bit big.”

"So big!?" Natsume exclaimed in shock.

Could it be some special individual?
"I don't know. You can push it yourself and send me a copy of the pictures when you get them."

"Okay, see you later."

The phone hangs up.

"Mr. Natsume! Look at the news!" Jiaozi's excited voice came from the side.

She was holding a tablet computer, on which was a live broadcast of the Feiyun City Satellite Launch Center.

The enormous launch vehicle stands like a pillar supporting the sky on the launch pad.

Countdown to zero.

"boom--!!!"

With a deafening roar, the rocket's tail spewed out dazzling flames, propelling the rocket body into the air and tearing through the sky.

At the top of the rocket, the Sky Eye satellite shimmered with a silvery-white metallic luster in the sunlight, like a bird breaking free from its restraints, piercing straight into the sky.

"Success! The Eye of the Sky has been successfully launched!" the news anchor exclaimed excitedly.

Jiaozi watched with great interest, her little face full of excitement.

"After two days of preparation, it's finally launched!"

Natsume glanced at the screen, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.

"Yeah, it is a bit slow," he replied casually.

"Huh?" Jiaozi tilted his head and looked at Natsume.

She remembered that Mr. Xia didn't seem to care much about this company, so why did he seem less interested now? Was it because she wasn't professional enough?
Jiaozi bit the tip of his pen, lost in thought for a moment.

Two days later.

"Mr. Natsume, I've summarized all the parameters for rocket launches and satellites. Look how fast it is!"

Jiaozi excitedly handed a large stack of blueprints to Natsume.

"It is quite fast." A helpless smile appeared on Natsume's face.

Fast? What's the use of being fast?

It's stopped right now.

Just as Natsume was inwardly complaining.

Om-!
A faint yet extremely clear mental fluctuation, filled with elation and dependence, gently tickled Natsume's consciousness like a mischievous little hand.

"Mr. Natsume! Mr. Natsume! Do you think I'm flying high? Am I pretty?" The chibi version of Cattleya's unique childlike voice rang directly in Natsume's mind.

Natsume: "."

He closed his eyes, and his telekinetic senses swept across the sky like radar.

really!

In low Earth orbit tens of thousands of kilometers above the ground, the Sky Eye satellite, launched two days ago and supposed to be operating in its predetermined orbit, is now hovering steadily in Shuanglong City like an obedient toy.

To be precise, it's directly above the Pokémon Center.

To be more precise, it's right above Natsume's head!
Its massive body remained motionless on the track, like a huge, cold eye staring straight down.

"Too high-profile. Get back on track." Natsume commanded helplessly in his mind.

"No! This place is closer to Mr. Natsume!" The chibi version of Cattleya's voice carried a hint of coquetry.

"I can see you! You're so tiny! Like an ant!"

Natsume's temple twitched.

"Listen to me, or Team Rainbow Rocket will find us!" he emphasized.

"Oh," the chibi version of Cattleya's voice instantly dropped, filled with deep grievance.

"Then I'll go play with Mom."

"Okay, go ahead." Natsume breathed a sigh of relief.

Going to find Gadria, her "trainer," is much more reasonable and safer than having her hanging on your head.

However, a few seconds later.

"Mr. Natsume! I'm here with Mommy!" The cheerful voice of the chibi version of Cattleya rang out again.

Natsume subconsciously sensed the height of the sky once more.

The enormous silver satellite remained motionless above the Pokémon Center.

It didn't move an inch!

"You didn't move at all!" Natsume was a little annoyed.

"I just went to my mom's." The chibi version of Cattleya's voice was full of self-righteousness, even with a hint of smugness.

"Mom is right next to Mr. Natsume!"

Natsume was taken aback and suddenly turned to look at the proud man beside him.

Jiaozi was intently looking at the information she had compiled, biting her pen and agonizing over her own thoughts.

Not a prodigy.

Natsume looked around and saw that there were only a few trainers chatting in the rest area, but no one was there.

"Where is Mom?" Natsume asked, puzzled.

"In Mr. Natsume's heart!"

The chibi version of Cattleya has an innocent and adorable voice.

"Mom and Mr. Natsume are together, so I'm on top of Mr. Natsume's head, which means I'm right next to Mom!"

Natsume: "."

He felt a throbbing sensation in his temples.

"You," Natsume Tsuyoshi wanted to emphasize the command again.

"Ding-dong-"

The electronic doorbell at the entrance of the Pokémon Center rang crisply.

The automatic door slid open silently.

A striking figure appeared at the doorway.

Her long, golden hair, like flowing sunlight, cascaded smoothly over her shoulders.

The elegant dress accentuated her slender figure.

A faint blush graced her fair cheeks, and her clear blue eyes swept across the rest area before finally settling on Natsume.

It was indeed Cattleya.

She appeared to be dressed up carefully and was holding a beautifully wrapped gift box in her hands.

“Mr. Natsume,” she said softly, her voice tinged with nervousness and anticipation.
