Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 561 Big Brother

"Humph."

Rainbow N grinned, a hint of mockery in his eyes, and snapped his fingers lightly.

"Snapped!"

The sound was faint, yet it resounded like thunder deep within the minds of every controlled Pokémon.

The Dark-type Pokémon, whose minds had just been slightly awakened by Tyranitar's roar, suddenly had their crimson eyes blaze up again, becoming even more frenzied and violent than before!

Reason was completely swallowed up, leaving only the most primal destructive impulses.

They roared wildly, no longer hesitating, and surged towards the Bangiras blocking their way like a tidal wave.

Claws, fangs, and dark energy relentlessly tore at its already battered body!

"Roar—!" Bangiras let out a painful roar, but it still did not retaliate. It simply struggled to support its massive body, standing as still as a rock.

It still tried to let out a low, soothing roar, using its body to withstand the frenzied attacks of its former "little brothers," even as new wounds kept appearing, and the icy blue ground was stained with its blood.

Wake up, wake up quickly.
Natsume watched this almost self-destructive scene with a furrowed brow, unable to comprehend it.

"Why go through all this trouble?" he said calmly, gathering his telekinetic energy once more, preparing to communicate directly with the heavens.

"Wouldn't it be more efficient to subdue them all first, knock them unconscious, and then gradually release them from control?"

No!

Bangiras suddenly turned his head, his pained, crimson eyes looking at Natsume, conveying a strong and anxious message that roared through Natsume's consciousness.

Natsume frowned, and suddenly, the scenery around him changed.

"what happened!?"

Natsume was stunned. He belatedly realized that he had entered the mental world of Bangalore.

The last time this happened was with Hoopa!
I don't remember where I came from.
A deep, steady voice slowly rang out.

At the same time, a dirty Lark appeared in front of Natsume.

His pupils contracted, but he didn't move; he simply observed quietly.

It doesn't remember where it came from.

All I remember is the endless cold and the stinging pain from my frozen forepaw bones.

It huddled in the howling blizzard, its consciousness like a candle flickering in the wind, about to be extinguished.

Then, shadows enveloped it.

It did not bring a deeper chill, but rather a strange tranquility that isolated it from the wind and snow.

It struggled to lift its eyelids and saw a "mountain." A dragon-shaped mountain covered in an icy blue shell, exuding an ancient chill.

The enormous dragon head lowered, its icy eyes silently watching the tiny creature on the verge of freezing to death. There was no pity, no tenderness, just a pure "gaze."

Then, a gentle yet irresistible chill enveloped it, not to steal its remaining heat, but to stabilize its state in a peculiar way, halting the loss of life.

It was picked up by the iceberg.

There is no warmth here, but there is also no biting cold wind.

Kyurem rarely moves, like a true iceberg, mostly standing silently beside its ice core.

However, it will spare a small amount of pure ice energy to sustain the life of this weak Tyranitar.

It began to grow.

In the silent ice cave, they gnawed on the energy-rich icicles, listening to the low howl of the wind and snow outside, now cut off from their surroundings.

Kyurem never communicates with it; only occasionally, when those icy eyes sweep over it, it senses a faint confirmation.
It has been confirmed that it is still alive.

This is its world.

Cold, silent, yet safe.

It knew that this "iceberg" was the place that gave it a place to live.

An awkward, silent dependence was established between the ice dragon and the cub.

Occasionally, it would stare blankly at that tall mountain.

until that day.

The ear-piercing roar shattered the eternal silence of the ice cave.

An unfamiliar, hostile energy erupted.

A dazzling yet dangerous burst of skill light illuminated the ice wall!

It watched in horror as the unmoving "mountain" finally moved.

Kyurem roared in fury, and its power of ice and lightning clashed violently with the intruder!
It tried to rush forward, but was firmly held in place by Kyurem's cold will—it was an order, and also a protection.

The aftershocks of the battle shattered countless ice pillars.

It saw Kyurem endure several heavy blows with his body to prevent the battle from completely destroying the ice cave, and was eventually enveloped by a strange rainbow light.

When everything calmed down, the invaders retreated.

At the heart of the ice cave, only a massive iceberg, radiating an ominous chill, remained.

Kyurem was sealed within, like an ancient creature encased in amber, devoid of all life.

Its world is once again filled with only coldness.

But this time, it was bone-chilling, deathly silent, and devoid of the mountain's icy coldness.

It found a new ice cave and guarded the iceberg day after day.

A low, guttural whimper escaped its throat, an attempt to call out, but received no response.

A gloomy, icy shadow, like that of an ice cave dome, completely enveloped it.

After an unknown amount of time, it cautiously stepped out of the ice cave for the first time and entered the edge of a human city.

It saw many other creatures like itself, hiding in the shadows—a dirty hyena rummaging through the trash, a skinny Derubi baring its teeth at a lamppost, and a timid thief fox darting quickly across the alleyway, avoiding the gaze of passersby.

Their eyes held wariness, hunger, and a familiar sense of bewilderment—a sense of being rejected and having nowhere to go.

Just like it was about to freeze to death in the blizzard back then.

A clumsy idea formed in its simple mind.

It began to learn what the "mountain" in its memory looked like.

It lacks Kyurem's sophisticated ice-type energy; it possesses only brute strength and a frightening appearance.

It walked over and let out a low, trying-not-so-frightening growl at the trembling little creatures. It clumsily pushed the relatively intact tree fruit it had found in front of them with its paws.

Although it often turns out to be jam that I accidentally hand over.

It simply stood silently at the alleyway where they hid, using its massive body to block any potential malicious attempts to drive them away.

Time and time again, it was ridiculously clumsy.

But it didn't give up.

Gradually, one or two bolder coyotes began to carefully snatch the food that it pushed towards them.

Gradually, thieving foxes will hide in its shadow, seeking a moment of peace.

It brought them, one, two, several, back to the ice cave that was no longer completely silent.

It's cold here, but at least there's no malice.

It became their silent "elder brother".

They didn't say anything, but simply fulfilled a promise of protection inherited from that mountain in the most direct way.

"Hooooo!!!"

The agonizing screams tore at Natsume's nerves, and with a shift in his gaze, he returned to reality.

Bangilas crouched on the ground, its shell flying everywhere.

"It's no use. We have that ring, so we have to fight first!" Natsume reminded him.

That must be destroyed.

A simple, unpretentious thought emerged, supporting Bangiras to stand up.

It withstood countless attacks, walking step by step toward Rainbow N.

"Go! Stop those Dark-type Pokémon!"

Xia Qian had just thrown the red and white ball when he saw Bangiras staggering toward Rainbow N.

His eyes went dark.

In Natsume's perception, at this moment, Tyranitar had no stamina left, not even enough to use a skill once.

"sucker Punch."

Rainbow N watched this scene, a cold, mocking smile curling at the corner of her lips.

He casually raised his hand and ordered the war dragon behind him, "Stop it."

however--

The war dragon's enormous, twisted body, black on the left and white on the right, stood frozen in place as if it had crashed.

The three violent and conflicting energies on its body surface were still surging and raging, but its huge body was trembling slightly, as if two completely opposite wills were pulling each other wildly inside.

The icy blue left eye flashed intensely, briefly overpowering the lightning and white flames, and firmly "pinning down" the war dragon's movements!

A faint yet incredibly stubborn, icy will, like the deepest undercurrent, held back the dragon of war.

Bangiras, dragging his broken body, was already close in.

"Boom!"

As it stood up, a huge shadow enveloped Rainbow N, its mountain-like body exuding a strong sense of oppression.

"Roar!!!"

Bangilas threw a powerful punch, putting all his strength into it.

"Heh, you think you're that Kyurem?"

Rainbow N scoffed, not taking it to heart at all.

They're just ignorant natives who, after gaining a little bit of divine power and taking in a few Dark-type Pokémon, actually think they're guardians?

With a casual stroking of the ring, a golden shield suddenly appeared around Rainbow N.

He watched without changing his expression as the enormous creature, tearing through the air with its fist-like force, drew ever closer.

"Stab~"

Suddenly, a thin white light descended from the sky, striking the golden shield before Bangiras could react.

The golden shield rippled, and the remaining white light dissipated along with it.

"What!?"

Rainbow N's expression changed drastically. He turned his head sharply and looked at Natsume in disbelief.

"Hi!"

Natsume nodded and smiled, waved, and said that he was welcome and that it was nothing he should do.

"you!"

Before she could utter another word, the intense air pressure blew up all of Rainbow N's hair.

not good!

Faced with an attack that was within arm's reach, he instinctively raised his hand to block it.

"Kacha!"

The ring shattered the moment it made contact with the blue-light fist.

Upon seeing this, a fierce glint flashed in Bangiras's eyes, and he unleashed all the power within his body without reservation.

It is also a mountain!

"boom!"

The fist accelerated suddenly, and Rainbow N, like a cannonball, embedded itself into the ice wall, its depths unfathomable.

"boom!"

Bangiras fell, his massive body causing the entire ice cave to tremble.
