Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 530 Project Rotom Satellite

"Something important?" Hoopa blinked his big eyes, and the golden ring stopped spinning.

"Yes, take me to the sky." Natsume pointed to the sky above.

"Go to that big iron ball."

"In the sky? A giant iron ball?" Hoopa looked up following Natsume's finger, his golden pupils instantly locking onto the silver satellite hovering high in the sky.

“Oh, Hoopa knows, the other day it was whoosh whoosh!” Hoopa imitated the sound of a rocket launching.

"Then that big, shiny thing appeared in the sky. Hoopa, I'll take you there!"

Without the slightest hesitation, it waved its little hand.

"Hula-!"

A giant golden ring instantly unfolded in front of Natsume.

The inside of the ring is not empty, but rather ripples with deep starlight like water.

Without hesitation, Natsume stepped inside.

The space was instantly distorted.

A feeling of weightlessness, a cold vacuum, and a strange, tactile sensation as if passing through a viscous liquid all came at once.

This was the first time Natsume had ever been transported through space by Hoopa.

He felt a blur before his eyes, and the familiar scenery around him vanished in an instant, like a faded painting.

next second!
The biting cold, like countless ice needles, instantly pierced Natsume's skin.

The thin air made it hard for him to breathe.

A vast, silent silence engulfed him like a tangible tide.

He appeared high in the sky, in an absolute void.

Beneath my feet lies a planet that rotates slowly like a giant blue gem, with clouds flowing over it and the outlines of the continents clearly visible.

Above, there is a deep, boundless cosmic abyss, dotted with cold stars.

And in front of him, less than ten meters away!
An unimaginably large, silvery-white man-made object floats in near-Earth orbit like a silent behemoth.

Its cold, metallic shell reflected a blinding light under the starlight, its complex solar panels resembled outstretched wings, and its various sensors and antennas resembled menacing tentacles.

The sheer size of the object created a sense of oppression, making Natsume feel as insignificant as a speck of dust.

This is the Eye in the Sky satellite.

"Wow--!!!"

A scream filled with shock and excitement exploded in Natsume's mind.

The voice of the chibi version of Gadalia came through a telekinetic link, filled with unprecedented excitement:
"Mr. Natsume! Mr. Natsume! You're amazing! You really made it up! It's so tall! So big! So beautiful!"

Natsume could clearly sense that inside the satellite, the chibi version of Cattleya was lying in front of the observation window, her little face almost pressed against the glass.

Its big eyes widened as it stared incredulously at the view outside the window—the deep universe, the huge blue planet, and Natsume so close at hand!

Her small body trembled slightly with excitement, but soon, as if she had thought of something, the chibi version of Cattleya covered her bottom.

At the same time, a faint yet clear fluctuation of consciousness, filled with curiosity and bewilderment, like the babbling of a newborn infant, gently brushed against Natsume's telekinetic perception.

"Buzz?"

It is the core of the Eye of the Sky, which was nurtured by Natsume and began to develop self-awareness.

It seemed to sense Natsume's arrival and greeted him with a mixture of doubt and dependence.

Natsume floated in the cold void, feeling the magnificence of the planet beneath his feet, the vastness of the universe, and the oppressive presence of the steel behemoth before him.

He frowned slightly.

Wait a minute, isn't this height a bit off?

"what happened?"

Hoopa happily circled around Natsume.

"nothing."

Natsume shook his head slightly.

He remembered it as a high-altitude satellite, but now it clearly appears to be a near-Earth satellite.

Could it be that the Rainbow Rockets were holding back?
Concealing one's talents is fine, but that's what stumped Natsume.

He came up here to scan the Eye of the Sky.

Natsume's plan was to determine which parts of the Eye of the Sky could be infiltrated by Rotom-3. Ideally, that part of the machine would possess ground-launching capabilities without affecting the overall Eye of the Sky. Previously, he had been using high-altitude satellites as a reference; for near-Earth satellites...
Never mind, let's get our hands on the data for the Eye of the Sky first.

With his telekinetic powers scanning frantically, Natsume's brain was like a printer, "printing" the internal structure of the fully open Eye of the Sky and memorizing it.

Soon, Natsume disappeared from view, much to the disappointment of the chibi version of Gadriya.

ground.

Natsume stepped out of the golden ring, then closed his eyes tightly and refused to open them again.

"Huh?" Hoopa looked left and right, not understanding what Natsume was doing.

main world.

Natsume's spiritual form slowly pushed open the door of the research institute.

What comes into view is a vast ecosystem of various Pokémon.

As his gaze swept across the landscape, marveling at its realism, Natsume suddenly looked up at the sky.

Ten thousand meters above the ground, there is a huge silver-white sphere, which is none other than the Eye of the Sky!

It's impossible for Natsume to conduct an experiment on the Eye of the Sky high in the real world.

That's too flashy, and my abilities don't allow it.

Fortunately, the upgraded main world also has a corresponding experimental environment at high altitudes!
In a flash, Natsume arrived high in the sky above the main world, next to the one-to-one replica of the Eye of the Sky.

Looking down, Natsume was somewhat shocked.

His main world was vaguely taking on a spherical shape!

How much area has been expanded?
After his initial amazement, Natsume shook his head slightly and turned to look at the enormous Eye of the Sky in front of him.

"bring it on!"

Natsume rubbed his fist, his fingers cracking.

Almost instantly, various tools and instruments constructed from telekinesis appeared around him.

Everything is ready, let's get started!
"Whoosh-"

A long streak of fire, trailing a fiery tail, crashed into the forest.

"boom!"

A violent explosion rang out, and Natsume's lips turned white instantly; he almost fell from the sky.

In the main world, everything is consumed by Natsume's psychic energy.

The structure of the Eye of the Sky, its fall, and the physical changes it undergoes upon impact with the ground are all supported by Natsume's psychic power output!
Every failure is a drain on Natsume's psychic power.

"Stab~"

The enormous form of the Eye of the Sky gradually took shape.

This time, however, it seemed that the telekinetic power was insufficient to support it, and the constructed eye of the sky was only partially visible.

"Phew! No way!"

Natsume sighed and gave up on building the Eye of the Sky.

I need to rest.

"The power of telekinesis is too high."

Natsume muttered to himself.

The Eye of the Sky is too large and its interior is too complex. Most importantly, repairing the impact of each explosion on the main world also requires a lot of telekinetic energy.

This resulted in Natsume being unable to fight again after only two attempts.

"Would it be better to lower it to a higher altitude?"

Natsume stroked his chin.

If he could find a way to lower the Eye of the Sky to a high altitude in the simulation experiment in the main world.

In the real world, the same method should also be possible, which would greatly reduce the risk and increase the success rate.

Unfortunately, he has no telekinetic power left and can't try.

Natsume opened his eyes wearily. The physical feedback of simulating the explosion of the Eye of the Sky in the main world for so long had drained his last bit of psychic power.

My vision was still blurry, and I felt a sharp, stabbing pain deep in my brain—a sign that my mental energy was severely depleted.
