Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 527 Please use this to hit my head
"Mr. Natsume."

Cattleya's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible tension, her clear blue eyes focused precisely on Natsume.

She seemed to have dressed up carefully; her long, golden hair flowed smoothly over her shoulders, gleaming with a warm glow under the lights of the Pokémon Center.

The exquisitely tailored dress fit her perfectly, highlighting her snow-white, pristine skin.

Natsume's gaze, as if automatically locked, landed on the other person's chest.

At the chest of Cattleya, she held in both hands a huge gift box that was exceptionally beautifully packaged and almost without a single wrinkle, with the ribbons tied around its edges meticulously.

Before Natsume could get up from his seat, the proud one beside him, like a cat that had sensed an invasion of its territory, rushed forward to Gadria.

"Miss Cattleya, welcome to the Pokémon Center!"

Jiaozi's voice was clear and melodious, and she wore an impeccable smile, but a subtle scrutiny flashed across her cool eyes.

She reached out her hand very naturally, her gesture carrying an unquestionable air, "This box is so heavy, let me help you carry it."

"Ah, thank you."

Caldelia seemed somewhat surprised by the prince's enthusiasm, a hint of confusion flashing in her blue eyes, but she still obediently handed over the substantial gift box.

"Hmm!" The moment Jiaozi took the gift box with both hands, his arms suddenly felt heavy.

Caught off guard, my body was pulled forward slightly, and I stumbled, almost losing my balance.

It wasn't until Natsume lent a hand that she was able to pick it up.

She quickly steadied herself, trying to maintain a smile, but the muscles in her arms were visibly tense, and her knuckles were slightly white from the effort.

Is this box filled with lead blocks?

The proud young man was taken aback and secretly grumbled to himself.

Natsume also noticed the girl's reaction and looked at the huge gift box with some curiosity.

The packaging is so exquisite and sophisticated, yet the quantity is so astonishing? What did Jia Deliya send as a gift?
"Mr. Natsume."

Gadriya seemed oblivious to the proud child's slight embarrassment, her gaze still fixed on Natsume, a faint blush rising on her fair cheeks, her voice as soft as a feather.

I don't know what you like. I hope you'll like this.

As she spoke, her slender fingers unconsciously tightened the delicate ribbon hanging from the gift box, her knuckles turning slightly white, making her appear somewhat uneasy.

Jiaozi exerted a great deal of effort to place the heavy gift box steadily on the table in front of Natsume, and couldn't help but steal a glance at Natsume with a look of inquiry in her eyes.

She was also very curious about what kind of treasure this young lady from the United States had sent so solemnly.
Moreover, the surface of the box seemed to exude a cool aura?
Natsume looked at the substantial gift box, then at Cattleya's pure eyes filled with anticipation and a hint of nervousness, and understood.

It seems that Gardner really didn't know what to give, so she could only pick a gift that she felt was substantial and "practical".

He reached out, carefully untied the perfectly tied ribbon, and gently lifted the lid of the gift box.

"hiss--"

A wave of icy cold air rushed over me instantly, carrying with it a sweet milky aroma!
Inside the gift box, a thick insulating layer and dry ice emitted white mist, neatly stacked with a dozen round scoops of ice cream that exuded an enticing milky aroma.

The ice cream scoop was also topped with tiny chocolate chips and toasted nuts.

Natsume was stunned, a strange expression appearing on his face.

"Ice cream?" He looked up at Cattleya.

"Uh, yes, it's the Tundra Bear Ice Cream from Riyong City."

Cattleya's gaze darted away slightly, her cheeks flushed even more, and her voice carried a hint of uncertain nervousness.

"Tundra Bear Ice Cream?" Natsume was even more surprised. Isn't this the one that Ran loves to eat the most?

Why would Gadriya think of giving this as a gift?
Moreover, this box is so large and uses such professional insulation measures; it's quite substantial, no wonder it's so heavy.

"Yes!" Gadriya nodded vigorously, her blue eyes sparkling, as if she had received some kind of affirmation.

"I heard it's delicious, so I wanted to bring some for Mr. Natsume to try."

She seemed relieved that Natsume recognized the ice cream, and a faint, slightly shy smile finally appeared on her face.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Natsume suppressed his surprise and politely thanked him.

He closed the gift box and casually pushed it to Jiaozi, who was listening intently to the gift.

Jiaozi took the still-cold gift box, pursed her lips, and silently memorized the ice cream brand.

“By the way, Miss Cattleya,” Natsume turned his attention back to Cattleya.

How did you feel afterwards at the hospital that day?

Upon hearing this, Gadriya's fair cheeks instantly flushed even more deeply, like a ripe apple.

She subconsciously raised her hand, her fingertips lightly touching her smooth forehead, her voice barely audible, almost drowned out by the background noise of the Pokémon Center: "It's nothing. I'm recovering very well." Her eyes darted around, as if she were recalling some embarrassing scene.

“Um…” Gadriya suddenly remembered the important matter, her blue eyes refocusing with a hint of urgency:

"Where is my little Liya?" she finally asked, getting to the heart of the matter.

"Little Liya?" Jiaozi pricked up her ears curiously, her hands unconsciously gripping the back of the chair where Natsume was sitting, her toes pointing forward, her small body leaning slightly forward.

“It’s in the sky.” Natsume said succinctly, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible helplessness.

"Hmm?" Cattleya tilted her head in confusion, golden hair slipping down her shoulders, her clear blue eyes filled with bewilderment.

She clearly couldn't understand the answer.

"Well, how should I put it?" Natsume rubbed his temples in frustration, feeling a headache coming on.

On the half-closed laptop screen behind him, a complex circuit diagram was faintly visible.

The Eye of the Sky has indeed taken off.

However, Natsume awkwardly discovered that in order to perfectly integrate Rotom into it and realize the functions of "part of the Rotom transforming mecha" that he envisioned, he still needed to carry out some "small" independent development.

Unless we abandon the complex transformation structure and just create a pure Rotom satellite, allowing some of its functional modules to transform into necessary components of a mech, that might be simpler.

If it were just this one thing, it wouldn't be so bad, but the key issue is that Xiaozhi also called last night.

He said he wanted to be a "squad leader" and insisted that Natsume help him come up with an acceptance speech.

As for Team Rocket, after Giovanni handed the trio over to him, he diligently wrote reports and sent them over every week. Natsume has been accumulating these reports for almost two months without looking at them; the files are piled up like a small mountain.

Most importantly, Adek is still missing, and I still have to pay off his huge medical bills, otherwise he won't be able to enjoy the medical benefits that come with being a champion!
One trouble after another.

"Mr. Natsume?" Catharia tilted her head, curiously observing Natsume who was clearly lost in thought.

"Okay, let's do this." Natsume took a deep breath and decided to deal with the problem at hand first.

"Go to Sunshine Academy this afternoon, and I'll take you to meet your little Liya." He planned to use the simplest and most direct method.

"Oh," Gadriya nodded as if she understood, her long eyelashes fluttering. Although she didn't quite understand, she still chose to believe Natsume.

at this time.

"Young Miss! Mr. Natsume!"

A familiar, slightly breathless voice rang out.

The butler hurried in, carrying a long, heavy-looking metal box.

The box has no markings on its surface, and has a cold, hard metallic sheen, exuding a sense of simplicity unique to science and engineering.

"Butler Uncle?" All three people present turned their attention to him.

"The things have been delivered!" Butler Uncle walked to Cattleya's side and respectfully handed her the metal box.

At the same time, he glanced at Natsume with a complicated look in his eyes, which contained a mixture of helplessness, worry and a hint of resignation.

Caldelia took the box; it was heavy in her hand, and the cold touch made her flinch slightly.

She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and a blush rose on her fair cheeks again.

She turned around and solemnly presented the box to Natsume with both hands.

"Mr. Natsume, this is for you." Her voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly, and she dared not look Natsume in the eye.

Natsume took the box with a puzzled look.

It feels cool and heavy to the touch, with a unique texture.

He opened the box, and inside lay a uniquely shaped hammer.

The hammer handle is made of a warm, dark hardwood, polished smooth and delicate, and comfortable to hold.

The hammerhead is made of a matte black metal with an ergonomic streamlined shape. One end has a smooth, flat striking surface, while the other end has subtle protrusions, like those on a precision instrument probe.

On the side of the hammerhead, a line of clear small print is laser-etched: "Psyduck Head Stress Application Hammer (Custom Version)".

Natsume: “???”

Isn't this the thing that Zheng Hui tinkered with?
Customized version? Why would Jiadeliya customize this?
Is she going to breed Psyduck?

“Mr. Natsume.” Seeing Natsume’s blank expression, Cattleya seemed to have misunderstood his silence.

She mustered immense courage, took a small step forward, lowered her head slightly, and let her golden hair fall, obscuring her blushing cheeks and tightly pursed lips.

Her voice was as soft as a whisper, carrying a resolute determination:
"Please use this to tap my head."
