Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 558 Deep in the Ice Cave
Adek froze on the spot, a sudden tremor running down his unkempt face.

He immediately became visibly excited.

"You mean it, the cave where Kyurem is!"

He grabbed Natsume's shoulder, rambling incoherently.

"Yes, and I even figured out the map of the ice cave."

As Natsume spoke, he took out his phone and opened the map of the ice cave that he had prepared earlier.

However, before Adeke could even observe, a deafening noise erupted outside.

"Boom!"

A powerful beam of icy blue light shot straight into the sky, followed by a heavy snowfall that blanketed the entire Unova region.

Goose feathers drifted down, and ice crystals landed on the hoods and in the hair of passersby.

Almost everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky.

The clear blue sky had vanished, and the sky seemed frozen, forming a huge ice crystal.

Sunlight shone on the ice crystals, refracting into beams that struck the land of the Union Empire.

Natsume and the others also left the Pokémon Center.

"Mr. Natsume, it seems to be heading in the direction of Ssou Ryu City!"

Jiaozi's face turned deathly pale.

"Yes, to be precise, it's the direction of Sunshine Academy."

Natsume nodded.

"Doesn't that mean Team Rainbow Rocket is using a diversionary tactic to take advantage of the situation and attack the ice cave in your academy?!"

Adek realized it instantly.

"What are you all standing there for? Natsume, let's go!"

Aldak was in a hurry and grabbed Natsume's hand, trying to rush towards Shuanglong City.

"Don't worry."

Natsume, on the other hand, pressed down on Adecker with one hand.

"Entering the gates of my academy is not so easy."

As he spoke, golden light flashed around him, and he and Adek disappeared from the spot.

Sunshine College, main gate.

"What the hell is this thing—Aaaaaah!"

The man had barely finished speaking when he was launched into the sky by the rising earth.

When Natsume arrived, he had an expression that said, "I knew it."

"Groudon? Isn't that the legendary Pokémon of the Hoenn region?" Alder stared at the enormous creature blocking the academy entrance with a strange expression.

"Pika pika pika pika!"

Groudon's head, with its parted hair standing upright, held two plungers, which it "popping" onto the other's broad head.

Like piloting a Gundam, the man with the middle parting held a plunger, moving it left and right to control Groudon's attack direction and target.

The latter cooperated surprisingly well.

In front of them lay members of the terrorist organization lying haphazardly, as well as various Pokémon that had fainted.

Clearly, this high-level Groudon, powerful enough to become the vessel of the earth god, is not something these minions can handle.

"They've been stopped!"

Adek wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, only to see Natsume hurrying towards the interior of the academy.

"No, someone must have gone in."

Natsume pointed to an open space behind the trembling terrorists.

Behind these people were several teleportation devices made of obsidian dragon scales, from which people kept breaking through.

Without exception, these people couldn't hold out for long before being overwhelmed by the middle-parted head and Groudon.

The continued senseless sacrifices only demonstrate that they are buying time for the rest of the country.

As Natsume passed by the guy with the middle parting, he glanced at him.

There was a strange discovery.

Pokémon with a middle parting and a large body seem to get along very easily.

Soon, Natsume led Adeker to the cave, the source of the icy blue pillar of light that affected the entire Unova region.

"Roar!!!"

As soon as it appeared, a violent dragon roar resounded.

"that is?"

Adek stared in astonishment at the two enormous creatures blocking the cave entrance.

“Zekhrom and Lehiram!?” Adek was stunned.

"To be precise, these are two imposters." Natsume glanced at the two phantom Pokémon and quickly noticed a gloomy-faced man behind them.

Ahead of the phantom Zekrom and the phantom Reshiram, there was a small figure trying to break through their blockade.

"what!"

However, the gap is simply too large.

Hupa was hit by an attack and flew backward, but Natsume reacted quickly and caught him steadily.

“You can come directly to me.” Natsume frowned as he looked at the wounds on Hoopa’s body.

"Hoopa will protect his friends' things on his own!"

Hoopa seemed very unconvinced and got up, wanting to fight the two Mirage Pokémon again.

"Why don't you go to the door and call out to the guy with the middle part?"

Natsume suddenly spoke up, saying that if Groudon came over, these two phantom Pokémon would definitely not be enough to handle it.

"I don't want to call it." Hoopa awkwardly turned his head to the side.

"."

Clearly, Hoopa still doesn't like the middle part hairstyle.

"I have to rely on myself, Hoopa must rely on myself!" Hoopa said stubbornly.

Natsume was somewhat speechless.

Clearly, after experiencing the helplessness of her sister's incident, Hoopa's personality slid from one extreme of giving up to another.

Hoopa stood up, but was held down by Adek who was standing next to him.

"Leave these two to me. Natsume, you go to the ice cave."

Adeker also noticed that the man in black standing behind the two phantom Pokémon was not the leader of the organization he was investigating.

Their leader has probably already entered the ice cave.

Upon hearing this, Huba was also taken aback, then nodded and said:
"Hupa almost forgot, the boss went into the ice cave with a green-haired guy!"

Boss?

Natsume raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at Hoopa with surprise.

It's clear that it has a good relationship with the guardian, Tyranitar.

"Let's go, let's go rescue your boss."

Natsume patted Hupa's head and led it into the ice cave.

The man in black did not stop him, but focused his gaze on Adek, as if he had expected this.

The once dark ice cave was now shining brightly.

The deepest blue beam of light, refracted through layers of ice crystals, powerfully fills your senses, dazzling you.

Natsume simply closed his eyes and relied solely on his telekinesis to find his way.

Upon reaching the location where the blue light source was emanating, the light dimmed.

Natsume was able to open his eyes.

What came into view was a huge ice crystal, the source of that icy blue light.

In front of the giant ice block, a massive body, as large as a small hill, lay on the ground, with shattered ice crystals scattered everywhere.

"Boss!"

Hoopa rushed forward excitedly, wanting to check on Bangilas's injuries.

"and many more."

Natsume grabbed the other person.

He watched warily where Bangiras lay unconscious.

The ground was shaped like the Chinese character "米" (rice), with Bangiras lying in the very center, his breastplate crackling with lightning.

"Oh, you've come?"

A familiar voice rang out, and Natsume then noticed that in front of the giant ice block, under the light source, there was a figure sitting upright.

A baseball cap, green hair, amber eyes—it's Rainbow N!

So, where is N in his world?
Natsume didn't come, and I suddenly remembered N.

It seems they haven't seen each other since Team Plasma disbanded.

"You've come at a very bad time."

Rainbow N seemed to be talking to itself, or perhaps conversing with Natsume.

"If you had arrived any later, I would have made my move and left."

"If you had arrived a step earlier, I would have turned around and left without hesitation."

As Rainbow N spoke, he slowly stood up, pulled down his baseball cap, and stared intently at Natsume through his eyes hidden beneath his hair.

"But of all times, it's at such a crucial moment!"
