Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 528 One Trouble After Another

Natsume: "!!!"

The prodigy: "!!!"

Butler Uncle: "!!!"

The rest area fell into a deathly silence, as if even the air itself had frozen.

Natsume, holding that strangely shaped hammer, froze completely on the spot.

He looked at the cold metal hammer in his hand, then at Cattleya's head, which was bowed low, revealing her fair and delicate neck. His mind went blank, and he couldn't understand the request at all.

After a while, he suddenly remembered the giant Psyduck that Zheng Hui had excitedly mentioned on the phone two days ago, which was "160cm tall and weighed 40kg".
Natsume suddenly realized what was happening and belatedly opened his mouth wide.

Jiaozi was so shocked that she gasped, her eyes widened, and her mouth opened slightly, big enough to fit a Poké Ball.

She glanced at the gleaming hammer, then at Cattleya's blushing cheeks and drooping neck, and finally at Natsume's utterly terrified expression.
An inexplicable emotion suddenly surged up!
"Mr. Natsume!" The prodigious boy abruptly pressed down on Natsume's shoulder, stopping his instinctive attempt to stand up. His voice, slightly raised with excitement, carried an incredulous question:
"What kind of mission is it this time?!"

Natsume: "."

Another worry has been added to my list.

It seems I'll have to be extra serious when speaking and acting in front of Cattleya from now on.

This girl really takes things seriously.

It doesn't matter if it's true or not, the most important thing is that the other party's execution ability is extremely strong!
And in low Earth orbit tens of thousands of kilometers high.

Inside the Eye of the Sky satellite.

The chibi version of Gadaria is watching with great interest everything happening in the Pokémon Center rest area below through the satellite's high-precision observation system.

Her tiny body was pressed against the virtual screen, her big eyes wide open, her little mouth agape in an "O" shape, her face filled with excitement and anticipation.

on the ground.

Seeing that Natsume hadn't moved for a while, Gadriya looked up in confusion.

Seeing Natsume's petrified expression, she seemed to realize just how outrageous her request sounded.

She blushed and stammered as she tried to explain, her words coming out in rapid succession:
"No, no. Mr. Natsume, I... I meant to..."

She took a deep breath, trying to make her voice clear, her finger nervously pointing at the hammer in Natsume's hand:

"I wanted to try out that paper, the one about Psyduck."

"The butler said this can stabilize telekinesis. I want to try it and see if it works for me."

Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible, and she lowered her head again, revealing only her red, almost transparent ear tips.

Natsume: "."

He looked down at the "Psyduck Head Stress Applying Hammer" in his hand, then looked up at Cattleya's shy yet slightly stubborn and earnest expression, and then thought of the thousand orders that Masahiro had inexplicably received.
He felt his temples throbbing and throbbing again.

I can't stand it at all!
Natsume suddenly stood up, the movement so large that it knocked over the chair behind him with a loud bang.

"Regarding your question about the stability of your telekinesis," he said urgently, with an undeniable determination:
"It's still the same as what I said before."

"I'm going to Sunshine College this afternoon," he said, striding towards the entrance.

"I'll finish my business there then." He paused at the door, as if remembering something, and turned back to add:
"Of course, this matter is actually somewhat related to you as well, and it might be helpful in solving your problem of stabilizing your telekinesis."

After saying that, he pushed open the glass door of the Pokémon Center without looking back and walked out quickly.

Upon arriving outside the Pokémon Center, Natsume took a deep breath of the cool, city-scented air.

"Phew~ Much better."

The fresh air rushed into my lungs, seemingly taking away some of the pent-up frustration.

He closed his eyes, forced himself to calm down, and began to sort out his thoughts one by one. He felt that he could classify and sort these chaotic matters like experimental data, and then solve them one by one in an orderly manner.

"Pickup!"

Just then, he glanced over and saw the man with the middle parting sneaking out of the Pokémon Center's staff entrance, clutching a crumpled roll of toilet paper in his little paws.

Upon seeing Natsume, it was as if it had seen a savior. It scurried over on its short legs, its two ears standing straight up.

"what?"

Having calmed down a bit, Natsume looked down at the bored-looking man with the middle parting and immediately felt a surge of anger.

The man with the middle parting tugged at his trouser leg, pointed his paw towards the employee passage, and made a "pika pika" sound.

Unlike Hoopa, who spends all day fighting in the back mountains of Sunshine Academy, and unlike his other companions who mostly stay quietly in the ball, Natsume has been busy with many things lately, and his middle-parted hair has been left to his own devices again.

Despite this, it stayed quite "well" near the Pokémon Center.

Although this kind of complacency usually means trouble.

The man with the middle parting pointed in the direction of the staff passage, which led to the internal restrooms of the Pokémon Center.

"Pikachu, Pikachu." Old Deng, I've clogged the toilet again.

He was confident and self-assured with his middle-part hair.

"Hello, Mr. Natsume, here's the ticket." A gentle but somewhat formulaic voice rang out at the right time.

Miss Joy happened to pass by and saw Natsume. As usual, she pulled out a pink ticket from her folder and skillfully slapped it on Natsume's forehead.

A gentle breeze ruffled the pink ticket on Natsume's forehead, causing the edges of the paper to sway slightly.

Natsume stood there, feeling the coolness on his forehead, his expression somewhat bewildered.

He originally planned to first pay off the huge amount of "Championship overdraft medical credit" that Adek owed.

But now, one more worry has been added.

"Pikachu~"

Seeing that the matter seemed to be resolved, the man with the middle parting immediately regained his spirits, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the dining area of ​​the Pokémon Center with an air of nonchalance, as if the trouble just now had nothing to do with him.

"Pikachuo!"

"You stand right there!"

Natsume shouted, and the veins on his forehead throbbed faintly.

"Snapped!"

He ripped the ticket off his forehead and then precisely stuck it on the hairy forehead of the man with the middle parting!

"Pickup?"

The man with the middle parting stood frozen in place, his half-raised foot frozen in mid-air, seemingly not having reacted yet.

"Go and clean it up yourself!" Natsume's voice carried an unquestionable command.

Following closely behind was the whistling sound of the wind.

"Pickup!"

The man with the middle parting exclaimed in surprise, and then realized that the whole world had darkened.

Passersby turned their heads to look, only to see a plunger handle trembling in the air.

Looking down the pole, you see a Pikachu with a plunger smeared all over its face.

As it continued its frantic attempts to tear off the plunger, the lever trembled more and more violently.
