Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 531 The Large Battery of the Cattleya Brand
He instinctively wanted to rub his throbbing temples.

However, the moment his gaze focused!

An enlarged, delicate face, filled with concern and curiosity, suddenly filled the entire field of vision.

Golden strands of hair almost brushed against the tip of his nose, and his clear blue eyes, like two pools of clear spring water, reflected his slightly pale face.

Warm breath, carrying a faint scent of tree fruit, gently brushed against his cheek.

"Who!"

Caught off guard, Natsume's heart skipped a beat, and his body instinctively leaned back.

"boom!"

The back of his head slammed heavily against the tree trunk behind him, making him groan. His already buzzing head was now even more aggravated.

"Hiss—!" He gasped, wincing in pain.

"Ah! Mr. Natsume! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Gardner was also startled by Natsume's reaction. Her fair cheeks flushed red instantly, and she stood there helplessly, her blue eyes filled with apology and panic.

"I saw you sitting here with your eyes closed for a long time without moving. I called you several times but you didn't respond. I... I was worried about you."

Her voice grew softer and softer, her head lowered, and her fingers nervously twisted the hem of her clothes.

Natsume clutched the back of his head, wincing in pain, and it took him a while to recover.

He looked at Cattleya, who was so embarrassed she was practically curling up in a ball, and sighed helplessly.

"It's nothing. I wasn't paying attention. How did you find your way here?"

He remembered telling her to go to Sunshine Academy in the afternoon, but he didn't specify that it was in the back mountain.

“I…I went to the academy,” Cattleya explained softly, her voice tinged with grievance.

"I couldn't find you. I asked so many people before I heard you might be in the back mountain."

She raised her head, her blue eyes carefully observing Natsume's expression.

"Mr. Natsume, you look terrible. Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired." Natsume waved his hand, trying to dispel the dizziness in his head.

He leaned against the tree trunk, trying to stand up, but his legs felt as heavy as lead, and he swayed, almost sitting back down.

The feeling of weakness from the overexertion of psychokinetic energy surged like a tide.

Seeing this, Cattleya quickly stepped forward and instinctively reached out to help him: "Mr. Natsume!"

Just as her fingertips were about to touch Natsume's arm, a sudden idea flashed in Natsume's mind.

Ah, I have an idea!
He suddenly raised his head, his sharp gaze locking onto Cattleya like a searchlight.

Cattleya froze at his sudden, intensely probing gaze. Her outstretched hand froze in mid-air, her cheeks flushed even redder, and she avoided his eyes.

"Yup!"

A startling light flashed in Natsume's eyes, as if he had seen a lighthouse in the darkness.

He muttered to himself, barely containing his excitement, "How could I have forgotten you!"

Gadriya: "???"

She didn't understand what Natsume was saying at all, only that his burning gaze made her feel flustered and confused.

next second.

To Cattleya's astonishment, Natsume suddenly reached out his hand.

He moved with lightning speed, grabbing Cattleya's trembling hands, which were suspended in mid-air.

His hands were large and strong, calloused from training, and the scalding heat of his palms instantly enveloped Cattleya's icy fingers.

"Ah!" Gadriya let out a short gasp, her body jolting as if she had been electrocuted. She instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but Natsume's grip was so tight that she couldn't break free.

A strong emotion, a mixture of shyness and panic, rushed to her head, making her fair cheeks turn as red as ripe tomatoes, and even her small earlobes blush.

Her mind went blank, and she could only stare blankly at Natsume, her blue eyes glistening with tears, as if they were about to spill over at any moment.

However, Natsume's mind was not on Cattleya's shy and bashful reaction at all.

His gaze at that moment was as focused as that of a geologist who had discovered a new mineral vein.

A vast, pure, and powerful psychic force, as boundless as the ocean!

Natsume could clearly sense that the unimaginably vast psychic power within Cattleya was now dormant like a sleeping volcano.

Although there was some restlessness due to the loss of the life doll's regulation, its quantity and quality far exceeded those of ordinary telekinetic cultivators in the main world.

Most importantly, Gadria did not awaken her own main world and did not need to invest a lot of telekinetic energy to maintain the operation of her main world.

In other words, the opponent's telekinetic reserves far exceed his own!
This is simply an inexhaustible super energy reservoir.

"Great!" Natsume was overjoyed.

He hesitated no more.

A gentle yet powerful golden psychic force, like the most intricate energy conduit, instantly surged from his palms, which were tightly gripping Cattleya's hands, and silently probed into Cattleya's mental world.

There was no looting, no harm.

Like a trickle flowing into a dried-up riverbed.

Natsume's telekinetic power acted like the gentlest guide, carefully and precisely drawing upon the vast and pure telekinetic power within Cattleya's body.

Om-!
An indescribable, pure and refreshing energy surged into Natsume's parched mental world through the connected "pipeline."

This energy was so pure and gentle, carrying the unique freshness of Cattleya, like a forest after the rain, that it quickly merged into his depleted psychic core with almost no transformation required.

Natsume felt a sudden surge of energy.

Like rain after a long drought.

The sharp pain and dizziness deep in my brain subsided as quickly as melting snow.

The heavy body became light.

All fatigue vanished!

"Hmm," Gadriya's body trembled slightly.

She felt a strange warm current flowing into her body from Natsume's tightly clenched hands, and then flowing back.
This feeling was subtle and not unpleasant. On the contrary, it soothed the restless energy within her caused by the loss of "Little Liya," making it gentle and calm.

She could even sense that the slightly listless aura emanating from Natsume, caused by exhaustion, was rapidly growing stronger.

This strange connection, exactly like the one she felt on the plane, gradually calmed her shyness and panic, replacing them with an indescribable sense of peace.

She stopped trying to break free and instead lowered her head slightly, letting Natsume hold her hand. Her fair cheeks remained flushed, and her long eyelashes trembled gently like butterfly wings.

After a long while, Natsume fully recovered.

He held only one of Cattleya's hands and said:

"sorry to bother you."

He immediately sat down and once again immersed his will into the main world.

Caldelia's current telekinetic power is about three times that of her own.

Six experiments are possible.

Moreover, his telekinetic abilities could be restored during this period, twice more.

At the same time, the psychic power within Cattleya's body is also recovering.
Natsume calculated that if he could stay with Cattleya all the time, he could almost meet the telekinetic power he needed for his simulation experiment of modifying the Eye of the Sky in a single day!
