Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 542 Forget it, you guys fight it out.

Just as Natsume predicted.

The stalemate didn't last long before Kyogre and Groudon, standing beneath Blaze and Archie, went out of control.

In their hands, the red and blue orbs emitted a bewitching light, and the entire orb even merged into their palms, half of it disappearing into them, with the patterns inside beginning to spread across their entire bodies.

"what happened?"

The Blazing Pine and the Water Sycamore gazed at each other from afar, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Didn't you say you were chosen by the earth/ocean?
Why would it fuse with the completely opposite red/blue orbs?

As their beliefs crumbled, something even more terrifying happened to them.

Kyogre and Groudon beneath them disobeyed commands and began to fight.

The earth cracked, the sea boiled, and two giant beasts collided.

From afar, all the people could see was a sudden burst of red and blue light above the heads of Kyogre and Groudon, followed by a fierce battle to the death.

Natsume saw it clearly.

The Flaming Pine and the Water Sycamore each hold up a red jewel and a blue jewel, respectively.

As Kyogre and Groudon collided beneath him, the light from the two orbs rapidly faded.

It seems to be consuming something?
Natsume stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.

Suddenly, a deafening cheering sound came from beside me:
"Come on, Blazing Pine! You have to win!"

"Destroy Kyogre and make the whole world unhappy with the land!"

That's right, the roar of the water fleet was equally impressive.

The rising steam and surging waves made it difficult for the members of Team Magma and Team Aqua to see clearly.

They assumed that their leader had successfully traded for the legendary Pokémon they each wanted, and the battle began.

As the two enormous creatures fought, the Flaming Pine and Water Sycamore, which were stiff and unable to move, were overturned and fell into the sea.

Natsume lowered his head slightly and, through the distance of dozens of nautical miles, clearly saw the situation of the two people.

Their faces were extremely pale as they bobbed and sank in the surging waves.

His whole body was bound by red and blue stripes, and his fingers writhed desperately, but he couldn't loosen his grip on the precious pearl.

"Mr. Natsume, why are they fighting?"

The sudden sound, like a small hand, descended from the sky and gently caressed Natsume's spiritual world.

It's a chibi version of Cattleya.

Natsume glanced casually at the sky and realized that the chibi version of Gadria had already followed his instructions and used the Eye of the Sky to arrive above the Hoenn Sea.

Seeing that Natsume hadn't replied for a long time, the chibi version of Cattleya's somewhat embarrassed voice came through:

"Is it Pokémon battles? Mr. Natsume mentioned it last time." She belatedly realized that she seemed to have asked a similar question before.

"No, I also want to know why they're fighting."

Natsume looked strange.

Clearly, judging from the behavior of Blaze and Archie, the battle between the two legendary Pokémon at this moment was not their intention.

The only possibility is that the Rainbow Rockets were mobilized from afar.

"That's great! So Mr. Natsume had the same question as me. We're becoming more and more alike!"

The chibi version of Gadria clapped her hands, her voice filled with unprecedented joy.

"Hmph! Hmph!"

While they were chatting, Natsume suddenly looked around strangely.

Where did that pig noise come from?

Looking back, I saw it was Xiao Sheng, mimicking the grunts of a wild boar with uncanny accuracy.

When he saw Natsume looking over, he immediately winked and made faces.

What?
Natsume tilted his head, looking at the other person with a puzzled expression.

Kacchan pointed at Natsume himself, and then at the Magma Team around him, whose faces were filled with fervor.

He then gestured with his mouth, pointing to the battleground where two legendary Pokémon were locked in a fierce and eye-catching battle.

Natsume understood instantly.

She felt that standing there was very awkward and out of place, and was afraid that he would expose his identity.

Thinking of this, Natsume cast a grateful look at Kacchan.

"Great!"

Xiao Sheng clenched his fists, his face full of excitement.

"As expected of Mr. Natsume, he understood immediately. Hmm?"

Xiao Sheng's excited words were on the tip of his tongue when he suddenly choked back.

Natsume didn't sneak off to rescue them; instead, he took out a flag and a whistle and resolutely joined the cheering crowd.

"Hmph, who cares about your pig squeals?" Xiao Yao teased, nudging Xiao Sheng with her elbow.

"Are you suggesting we just yell, 'Hey, Natsume, come save us!'" Kacchan glared at Yao, unconvinced.

"Of course I can take it into consideration."

Natsume's voice suddenly rang out.

“Mr. Natsume!” Kacchan exclaimed in surprise.

Just a moment ago, Natsume was cheering, but the next instant he was standing next to the cage, with a bunch of keys in his hand that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Natsume shook the key in his hand, preparing to quietly release the group.

Suddenly—"Boom!"

A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth, causing eardrums to ache.

"Ouch!"

"Kojiro, you stepped on my tail, meow!"

The group of people in the cage fell to the ground.

Natsume steadied himself and turned to look.

The entire sky darkened—no, it was the ocean waves, towering high enough to block out the sun, that were violently slamming a red figure into the sea.

In an instant, Kyogre gained the upper hand.

"Okay, crush it!"

"Water Wutong is awesome!"

As the scene unfolded, the members of the Aqua Team cheered.

"what?"

As if he had discovered something, Natsume stared intently at the sea surface.

"Um, Natsume-nii, how about we... hmm?"

Kacchan rubbed his head and stood up, only to find that Natsume was nowhere to be seen. "He's over there."

Xiao Yao silently tugged at Xiao Sheng's sleeve.

Go Kyoka!

Looking back, I saw that Natsume had changed into the Team Aqua uniform at some point and joined the cheering crowd to start celebrating.

Xiao Sheng: "."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the surging sea began to boil, and a streak of orange-red light rapidly condensed, growing ever deeper.

"boom!"

Groudon's massive body burst from the seabed and slammed into Kyogre.

In an instant, the situation reversed again.

"Why don't they use any skills?"

Inside the cage, Xiao Gang stroked his chin, looking somewhat puzzled.

"I don't know, but Natsume's disguise skills seem pretty impressive."

As Xiao Yao spoke, she pointed to the area behind a rock not far away.

Natsume stood there, took off his Team Aqua uniform, revealing his Team Magma uniform underneath.

"Great!"

Natsume raised his hands and mingled into the Magma Team, who were cheering because Groudon had the upper hand.

"Sister, are you a pervert? Why are you staring at Mr. Natsume taking off his clothes—ah!"

Before Xiao Sheng could finish speaking, a large bump appeared on his head.

"Kacha~"

Just as Xiao Yao stopped, a soft unlocking sound came from beside her.

The three looked back and saw that it was Team Rocket, each holding a small piece of wire, and there was a loose lock on the ground.

"You guys know how to pick locks?"

Everyone was shocked.

"Hmph, of course! Lock picking is an essential skill for Team Rocket." Kojiro smugly tossed his hair.

"How do you manage to say that with such pride?"

Xiao Yao and the others complained as they walked out of the cage.

Just as she was about to leave quietly, she stopped in her tracks.

"Um, should we call him?"

Xiao Yao felt that Natsume was getting a little carried away with the fun.

"Sister, don't you dislike Natsume-san and say he doesn't resemble a Pokémon professor?" Masaru looked up at Yao as if he had just thought of something.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yao pouted angrily and remained silent.

Her first impression of Natsume was indeed not good, but she liked his assistant, Sister Jiaozi, Xiaoyao quite a bit.

Not only did he selflessly teach her how to become a qualified Pokémon Coordinator, but he also meticulously explained to her how to use multi-type moves and incorporate them into her Pokémon Contest performances.

"You guys go first."

Seeing the three of them standing there in a daze, Natsume suddenly turned his head and activated his mental senses.

"But?"

Seeing that Xiao Yao was still hesitating, the trio beside her became impatient.

"Hey kid, what are you thinking about!"

Musashi scooped up Xiao Yao and ran off.

"That's right, that's right, Natsume would never be at a disadvantage, meow."

As Meow Meow ran, it echoed in agreement.

The group ran to the edge of the island and then stopped.

They have no boats!

From afar, Natsume noticed their predicament and reached out his hand, intending to use his telekinesis to conjure a temporary boat, when suddenly the sea level shifted.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a robust Gyarados with the word "talent" written all over its face emerged.

On the back of this Gyarados is a Hypnotic Tapu carrying a basket, inside which a Jigglypuff is fast asleep.

Where's the fiery monkey?

Upon seeing the familiar group, Natsume was taken aback and looked around, but couldn't find Incineroar.

"Wow, what a huge Gyarados! Is it wild?"

Xiao Yao exclaimed in surprise.

"No, this is the Gyarados that Kojiro abandoned, meow! My goodness, it's so big! It must have great talent. Kojiro, are you regretting it, meow?"

"Meow Meow joked."

"That's called releasing animals!"

Kojiro awkwardly turned his head to one side.

That Magikarp was forced upon him by his father, but he didn't want it.

"Oh, I see."

Xiao Yao felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

In the distance, Natsume frowned, looking at the group locked in a stalemate, feeling that this couldn't go on.

He could tell that the Gyarados had appeared at this time to help, but...
Natsume's gaze fell on Kojiro.

So he proposed:
"How about this, they'll beat up Kojiro for you, and you drag them to a safe place, okay?"

Mixed with telekinesis, Natsume's voice echoed clearly in the ears of the group.

"What?" Kojiro exclaimed in surprise.

"Hoo-hoo-hoo!"

Gyarados seemed quite satisfied with Natsume's suggestion, nodding vigorously as if pounding garlic, its long tentacles swaying, splashing a lot of salty seawater onto Kojiro's face.

Kojiro stood frozen in place, turned his head slightly, and found that everyone was staring straight at him.

"Um... Meow Meow, you can't bring yourself to do it, right?"

"Musashi, we're teammates, right?"

"And the little brats... Fine, you can fight them."
