Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 535 Ash, you will use a bicycle to fight (previously censored)
[Satellite Rotom - Semi-finished Product]

【Feature: Airlock】

【? ? ? 】

Natsume hovered in the cold space, scanning the enormous mechanical construct before him using the system panel. Golden streams of data rolled across his field of vision, finally settling on the status information of Rotom No. 3.

"Didn't the unfinished product meet the standards of a complete Pokémon?"

He gently stroked the part of his chin covered by the spacecraft mask, muttering to himself.

This situation seems familiar. Just like the "mecha" he pieced together from three electric toys in his early days, it was also a "half-finished product" after being fused with Rotom separately, and it had to be combined to become a complete entity.

The same goes for this "mecha right arm" in front of us. It is only part of the grand blueprint for the future and must wait for the integration of other parts before it can show its true power.

During the tedious debugging work at high altitudes, time seemed to lose its meaning.

If you're thirsty, drink milk; if you're hungry, drink milk.

After finishing the seven-day supply of milk and vitamin pills prepared by Natsume, he knew it was time for him to return to the ground.

Instantly teleporting, Natsume opened his eyes inside a soft, inflatable tent.

Morning light streamed through the tent's transparent vents, casting hazy patches of light on the ground.

He moved his somewhat stiff limbs, his gaze sweeping across the inside of the tent, and was surprised to find some items that didn't belong to him:

A delicate lace sleeping bag was neatly folded, with several teen magazines with flashy covers scattered around it, and a familiar, cool floral scent filled the air—it was something from Cattleya.

She hasn't left yet?

Filled with doubt, Natsume stepped out of the tent.

The fresh air carried the slight dampness of the grass and trees, and the birdsong from the back hill of Sunshine College was crisp and melodious in the early morning.

Soon, he found his target on a picnic mat under the shade of a tree not far away.

Jiaozi and Cattleya sat facing each other, with a huge picnic blanket spread out between them, on which were placed delicate refreshments and steaming black tea.

But the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Jiaozi huddled in a corner of the picnic mat, her body tense, clutching a sandwich tightly in her hand. She lowered her head and took small bites, her eyes darting around, not daring to look at the person opposite her.

Meanwhile, Gadriya held her teacup, sipping it slowly. Her clear blue eyes, filled with curiosity and a hint of barely perceptible grievance, remained fixed on Jiaozi, as if she couldn't understand why she was so far away from her.

"What are you doing?" Natsume walked over, breaking the awkward silence.

“Mr. Natsume! I—”

Jiaozi looked up as if he had seen a savior, and a look of relief appeared on his face!

at this time!

As if receiving a signal, Cattleya suddenly put down her teacup, leaned towards the prince without warning, and pouted her soft lips—

"Come on!"

A loud kiss landed squarely on the proud boy's left cheek.

Time seemed to freeze.

Jiaozi was struck dumb!
She remained frozen in place, her eyes wide open, forgetting to swallow the sandwich in her mouth.

A few seconds later, she reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

She screamed "Ah!!!" and instantly dropped the sandwich in her hand.

Jiaozi sprang up like a small cannonball, scrambling and crawling behind Natsume, revealing only half her head and a pair of terrified eyes as she stared incredulously at the smiling Cattleya.

Her cheeks were burning hot, so red they looked like they were about to bleed, and there was a faint lipstick mark on them.

"Ok?"

Cattleya tilted her head innocently, utterly bewildered by the prince's dramatic reaction, her blue eyes filled with pure incomprehension.

"Wait a minute, I need to take this call."

Before Natsume could ask anything, Satoshi called.

"Natsume-nii?"

On the other end, Ash's cautious voice rang out.

"What's wrong?" Natsume asked curiously.

"Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

Xiao Zhi suddenly whispered:

"Team Magma and Team Aqua are going to destroy the world!"

Ash's voice was filled with shock.

"Otherwise what?" Natsume waved his hand.

Ash was taken aback by Natsume's reaction, thinking that the other person hadn't grasped the seriousness of the situation. Ash added:
"I heard it from some of the higher-ups in the team. It's about two legendary Pokémon from the Hoenn region, Groudon and Kyogre!"

After explaining, Xiaozhi discovered that Natsume still didn't feel any urgency.

"Ash, should we contact Officer Jenny?"

Ash, dressed in Team Magma's uniform, stood like a minion.

At least half of those red gem fragments were brought back by myself!

"Don't be nervous, Ash. I sent you a tool to solve this problem. Did you receive it?"

Natsume comforted her.

"The only problem-solving tool I've received recently is a bicycle that was anonymously mailed to me." Xiao Zhi added, as if he'd just remembered something:
"That bicycle seems to have a lot of power; it looks like Devon's latest product."

"That's right, Satoshi. This is what I mailed to you." Natsume said straightforwardly.

"Huh?" Ash was dumbfounded.

A bicycle?

Why can it solve Groudon and Kyogre?
"Listen to me, you go by bicycle."

After recounting his story, Natsume repeated:
"have you understood?"

"Uh, Natsume-san, do you mean I need to find a tower with many layers and many holes on each layer, based on some information from Team Magma?"

At this point, Ash paused, then continued:

"Then, if you ride your bicycle at breakneck speed and don't fall off and die, you'll receive help from a mysterious Pokémon to thwart Team Magma and Team Aqua's plot?"

Simple words, awkward pronunciation—Xiao Zhi finished speaking with difficulty.

There's no way around it, it's too abstract.

He couldn't understand why this would stop Team Magma and Team Aqua's plot.

"Yes."

Natsume nodded seriously.

"But Natsume-nii, this tower has holes on every floor. Is it really not a dangerous building? Is the Alliance going to demolish it?"

Xiao Zhi shrank back.

"Don't worry about that, just do it this way."

"Go, Ash, the future of Hoenn depends on your driving skills!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone decisively.

It seems that a clash between Team Magma and Team Aqua is about to begin in the Hoenn region.

Whether Little Intelligence found Rayquaza in the Sky Pillar and quelled the battle between Kyogre and Groudon is unknown to Natsume.

Anyway, this battle was bound to start, and besides that, Natsume couldn't imagine what else in the Hoenn region could attract Team Rainbow Rocket.

Natsume looked up at the sky.

"Thorn-"

A red light flashed, and the luminous white sphere responded to him.

"I'm going to the Hoenn region. You guys, get along well."

As Natsume spoke, his figure disappeared.

It's okay that Ash didn't find Rayquaza, he just happens to have a similar one here.

As Natsume left, Jiaozi turned her head slightly, looked at Cattleya, and swallowed hard.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

"You you you you." Jiao Zi felt uneasy under her gaze and involuntarily took a half step back, his back against the tree trunk.

"You wouldn't be...you're that kind of person, would you?!"

She swallowed hard, her voice trembling, her heart filled with regret for having unconsciously pinched him that day.

"What is it?" Cattleya stood up and walked lightly closer, carrying her unique, refreshing floral fragrance.

She leaned slightly forward, her warm breath carrying a hint of curiosity brushing against the still-blushing cheeks of the proud young man.

"Miss Jiaozi seems to be afraid of me?"

The proud child stammered, "You...you always kiss me like this."

“Oh, this,” Cattleya exclaimed, a genuine smile spreading across her face. “This is an effective action! I’m sure of it!”

"Huh?" Jiaozi was dumbfounded.

"It's written very clearly in the love manual that Mr. Natsume gave us,"

With a serious expression, Gadriya carefully took out a book from her small handbag. The book had worn edges and the pages were obviously curled from being turned over.

This is a photocopied hardcover book, yet it has become so weathered and worn, showing that Cattleya often reads it.

"Look, it's mentioned in the dating guide Mr. Natsume gave me:"

"If you're eating out and the guy you like is sitting across from you, you can hug and kiss your best friend or a female friend. If that guy is interested in you, he'll definitely unconsciously put your best friend or female friend in his mind."

Having said that, Cattleya nodded firmly.

Pride: "???"

It feels a bit strange, but it makes a lot of sense.

The prodigy looked at Cattleya in horror. If that was Cattleya's intention, then her progress was astounding.

Dating skills have undergone a transformation from paramecium to Homo sapiens. Not long ago, Cattleya was an autistic little girl who had difficulty communicating with others!
In an instant, Jiaozi felt a sense of urgency.

Here you go.

As if understanding the prodigy's thoughts, Gadriya smiled without saying a word and handed him a brand new copy of "Top Secret! Eight-Year Senior's Painful Efforts".

Jiaozi swallowed hard, and shakily opened the book as if opening Pandora's box.
