Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 572 Yew Research Institute
Why are you still feeding them carrots?

After hanging up the call, Natsume's lips twitched, and he silently looked at Alice, who had her hair tied in a topknot, standing to the side.

His hairstyle was weird, with a blue granny bow on top.

“But…” Alice tilted her head, still puzzled.

"But I brought it a lot of dragon-type Pokémon food, and it wasn't very interested."

"On the contrary, at least the radish is edible."

As Alice spoke, she pulled a large radish from her hair and tossed it to the three-headed dragon.

Seeing this, Natsume remained silent.

In a sense, this three-headed dragon might have a pica.

After glancing at the uninterested Hydreigon, Natsume turned and left, rushing to the Pokémon Center in Twin Dragons City as soon as possible.

The Pokémon teleportation device hadn't been installed in the academy yet, so he had to come outside to do anything.

Communication was re-established in front of the transmission device.

"Thank you, Sister Jiaozi. It's you!"

The moment Xiaoyao saw Natsume, her face fell.

"I'm Zapdos's trainer, of course it's me!"

Natsume replied as a matter of course.

During this period, Xiaoyao and Jiaozi have made many attempts to explore the application prospects of multi-attribute fusion moves in Pokémon Contests.

The latter obtained the data, while the former obtained many advanced competition concepts.

Some of them are even unprecedented.

This time, it was an attempt to fuse lightning and fire attributes. Jiaozi asked Natsume to send Zapdos over as a demonstration.

"Stab~"

Xiao Yao took out the red and white ball that Xia Mu had given her, and a burst of red light was accompanied by a loud shout:
"Cannes!!!"

A bird-shaped Pokémon, its body covered in flowing fire and with lightning swirling within like golden glass, spread its wings and appeared.

"My God, it really is a special Zapdos!"

Xiao Sheng excitedly grabbed his camera and started snapping photos of Zapdos from every angle.

The proud Zapdos clearly enjoyed the attention; it raised its neck and stood there like a model, basking in the flashes of light.

"Alright, Xiao Zhi."

Natsume's voice suddenly came from inside the teleportation device.

"what?"

Xiao Zhi, who was eating nearby, looked up with a bewildered expression.

After this stomach upset, he felt he had lost several pounds, so he needed to eat more to make up for it.

"Ugh, Natsume-nii, is there anything else?"

Xiao Zhi was picking at the rice ball, with rice grains still stuck to the corners of his mouth.

"I've applied for your status as a Flamebringer at the Rainbow Fairy Tournament. Remember to take Zapdos with you for a run."

Natsume's words are concise and to the point.

Ash will soon be participating in the Hoenn region's Celadon Conference.

The sacred flame of the Rainbow Fairy Tournament is also the flame of the Moltres.

If we're lucky, a spark of competition might be ignited.

"no problem!"

After hanging up the call, golden light shimmered beside Natsume.

"rub!"

A golden ring suddenly appeared, followed by the emergence of a small bull's horn.

Hupa, supported by the golden ring, floated out, trembling slightly.
"Natsusatsu Natsume."

Hupa's voice trembled as he spoke, and he held a nearly empty roll of toilet paper in his hand.

Through the roundabout, you can vaguely see that the toilet is behind it.

"I feel like I'm about to reach the threshold of liberation."

Hupa's face turned ashen. He finished speaking quickly, as if he had something he wanted to ask Natsume.

"Class of '39, you worked very hard."

Natsume glanced around and noticed that Hoopa's level had increased by nearly twenty levels in just two months.

“However,” Natsume suddenly asked, as if he had thought of something:
"Didn't you say that to achieve the liberated form, one must endure immense suffering?"

Natsume was stunned.

If we compare the Huba to a pot.

The water inside the body is its potential power.

To ignite these dormant forces, the water must be boiled.

The firewood for boiling water represents suffering.

Hoopa's experience of losing its family did not allow it to develop its own liberated form.

Natsume found it hard to imagine what so many parallel Hoopas with their liberated forms had gone through.

"Hupa doesn't know, but Hupa feels extremely painful right now."

Hupa clutched her stomach, looking at Natsume with hopeful eyes.

Natsume immediately understood, and as his lips twitched, he took out the ice-blue Kyurem egg.

"You can touch it."

Hupa touched it, and her face instantly turned ashen. "Aaaaaaah!"

The golden ring closed, and Hoopa disappeared.

Natsume stared in the direction the other person had left, speechless.

Hupa felt that the pain of diarrhea could also prompt the formation of his liberated state.

Although Natsume felt that it would ultimately fail because, no matter how you looked at it, it was related to mental anguish.

"Never mind, let's give it a try first."

Natsume rubbed his brows.

Hoopa has been systematically and gradually seeking out and fighting Tyranitar's underlings according to his own training plan.

It has made remarkable progress, and since the other party is in high spirits, Natsume has no intention of discouraging it.

Natsume gives the Kyurem egg to Nurse Joy and places it in the isolated incubation device before returning to the Pokémon Transfer Device.

This time, his target destination was the Yew Tree Research Institute.

"Stab~"

The notification tone for the communication request sounded, and while waiting for the connection to be established, Natsume habitually straightened his collar.

The screen lit up; the call was connected.

On the other end of the screen appeared a young female researcher with slightly frizzy chestnut hair, casually tied back with a few unruly strands sticking up.

Her once pristine white research gown was stained with unexplained reagent marks on the cuffs and chest. She wore thick-rimmed black glasses, and behind the lenses were two prominent, persistent dark circles under her eyes.

He exudes an aura of someone who has been staying up late for a long time, immersed in research, and neglecting his personal appearance.

She seemed to be engrossed in writing something at the control panel piled with papers and instruments. She only looked up somewhat blankly when she heard the communication prompt. When she saw Natsume on the screen, she subconsciously pushed up her glasses, her eyes still somewhat unfocused and dazed.

"Hello, Yew Research Institute, Pokémon storage service. Please show your Trainer ID."

Her voice was slightly hoarse from staying up all night, and her tone was like reciting a script.

Natsume placed the prepared Poké Ball into the teleportation slot.

"Ah-"

The Poké Ball was transmitted as a data stream.

The female researcher's receiver lit up with a green light, and she skillfully took out the red and white Poké Ball and placed it on the detector.

"The storage service has been received. Please rest assured, the Pokémon stored this time is—hmm?"

The red and white balls were opened, but they were empty inside.

"Sir, did you send this to the wrong person?"

The female archivist looked at the red and white balls in her hand with a puzzled expression and asked, "What are you doing?"

"No mistake." Suddenly, a large hand pressed down on the red and white balls.

Suddenly, Natsume appeared beside her on the other end of the video.

"what!!!"

As if she had seen a ghost, the female researcher suddenly released the red and white balls and fell to the ground.

"You, you, how did you get here?" she asked, pointing at Natsume in a panic.

The news report mentions an organization that can teleport people. It seems to be the terrorist organization that was wiped out.

"That's how we got through it."

As Natsume spoke, he tossed the red and white balls in his hand into the air.

A flash of telekinetic light appeared, and Natsume instantly appeared next to the red and white sphere.

Unfortunately, he couldn't leave a telekinetic mark in places he hadn't been before, so he couldn't teleport there.

This is the only way.

"Telekinesis?" the female researcher realized.

At the same time, she also saw Natsume's face clearly.

"You are...you are you are!"

She pointed at Natsume, so excited she was incoherent.

“That’s right, it’s me.” Natsume stood there and tossed his hair.

"You're that one, that one, that one."

The female researcher hesitated for a long time before finally pressing the alarm.

Natsume: “???”

After pressing the alarm, she became even more trembling.

Natsume looked at the strange female researcher with a puzzled expression.

The female researcher stood up trembling when she saw Natsume looking at her.

I almost forgot, she's the only one at the research institute.

Just as she was about to cry in desperation, Natsume pulled out his ID.

"You're the newly crowned champion?" The female researcher was taken aback.

"When did this happen? Wasn't the champion Mr. Adek?" She frowned, took out her phone, and muttered to herself:

“Mr. Adek just visited our institute last month, it seems like three years have passed.”

At this point, she smiled shyly:
"Hello, Mr. Natsume, is there anything I can do for you at our research institute?"

After checking Natsume's documents and finding no problems, she immediately relaxed.

Natsume stared silently at the disheveled female researcher.

How can someone be so oblivious to worldly affairs?
