Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 576 The Ghost That Attacked the Pokémon

"Okay. I'll take a look at the rest."

Natsume spent some time checking the injuries on the heads of the other Pokémon.

Without exception, these wounds were formed by the impact of the four elements: rock, water, grass, and fire.

Strange.

Natsume was curious.

Good news, his world has Beishang Township and Egui Peng.

Bad news, this monster seems to be a battle maniac.

"So!" Seeing that Natsume had made up his mind, Joey suddenly bowed.

"Please help me, Mr. Champion, catch those Pokémon!"

Upon seeing Nurse Joy's request, Natsume turned to look at the Pokémon in the yard.

He nodded slightly and said:

"Sure, I'm actually a bit interested too."

Natsume originally planned that if he couldn't find any information about Dr. Yew and the others in the town, he would search the entire Kitakami Township.

Perhaps Professor Yew and his team are looking for a legendary Pokémon like Urquid.

"correct."

Natsume suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Joey, asking curiously:
"I'm quite curious, who brought these injured Pokémon here?"

Natsume noticed something suspicious.

Surely it's not that Nurse Joy has some special ability that allows her to sense whether any Pokémon are injured within a certain radius, right?
This is not realistic.

Natsume stared intently at Joey, who understood that he had to explain himself clearly.

"That's right, Mr. Natsume."

Before she could even speak, a small figure burst in.

"Miss Joy, Miss Joy, save it, save it!"

The two looked back and could only see a Snorlax with a stick mark on its head, unconscious, moving through the air.

Looking down, they discovered that beneath Snorlax, a tiny figure was supporting it.

Black chestnut?

Upon seeing the other person's attire, Natsume's mind was immediately filled with an extreme fan of a certain type of supernatural encounter.

"Miss Nurse Joy, I've found another Pokémon that's been knocked unconscious by a ghost!"

The visitor placed Snorlax on the ground.

"Boom!"

The dull thud attracted many Pokémon to look in that direction, and at the same time brought a gust of wind, which completely blew up the other party's thick hair.

No, this isn't a black chestnut.

The other person looked to be only seven or eight years old, with a small but unusually strong build.

He was wearing a dark blue, coarse cloth short-sleeved shirt that was faded from washing and clearly didn't fit him well. The sleeves and trouser legs were too short, revealing his tanned wrists and ankles.

Her hair was thick and black, like a clump of unyielding wild grass, haphazardly tied behind her head, with a few stray strands stuck to her forehead and rosy cheeks by sweat.

Although the child's voice was indistinguishable, Natsume still recognized him.

His gaze fell on the beauty mark at the corner of the other person's eye.

She is Wu Li's older sister, Dan Yu!

This is Danyu as she was when she was a child.

Natsume raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the other person with curiosity.

Xiao Danyu looks about the same size as Wuli. They even wear the same clothes.

Natsume glanced at the other person's exposed ankles.

He had reason to suspect that this outfit might be passed down to Wuli in the future.

"Hmph, Miss Joey, aren't I amazing?"

Danyu wiped her dirty face, and a wooden pendant at her waist swayed.

"Great! As a reward, why don't you stay at the Pokémon Center for lunch today?"

Joey smiled gently, bent down, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the other person's face.

"Okay!" Danyu seemed very happy and readily agreed.

Joey stood up and looked at Natsume with a helpless gaze.

Natsume nodded understandingly.

See? This world is full of superheroes.

Clearly, all the Pokémon injured by Urgot were brought over by Xiao Danyu in front of her.

But Natsume stood still, his gaze sweeping across the backyard.

There are over a hundred of them, including many of the villagers' Pokémon.

Besides these, there are more than sixty others.

Glalie, Weezing, Snorlax, and Apoko—these Pokémon not only share the same habitat, but some are even dozens of miles apart.

Surely Xiao Danyu doesn't have some special ability that allows her to sense where there are injured Pokémon nearby, right?

"Miss Joy, my Pokémon can help relieve your stress for a while."

Natsume suddenly spoke, immediately attracting Danyu's attention.

She turned her head, her bright eyes staring curiously at Natsume.

When he handed her a red and white ball, her eyes lit up immediately. Her gaze shifted downwards, and she saw the five red and white balls on Natsume's waist.

"Sizzle~" Joey released the Phantom Master Ball Rotom.

"What is this?" she asked, looking at Natsume with a puzzled expression.

"It will assist your treatment."

Natsume waved his hand, then turned his gaze to Xiao Danyu, who was staring at him with bright eyes.

Want to battle with Pokémon?

Natsume took out a red and white ball, his gaze casually sweeping over the pendant on Xiaodanyu's waist.

It was a meticulously sculpted humanoid Pokémon.
"miss you!"

Xiao Danyu nodded vigorously.

"Yes, there's a Pokémon battle arena outside."

Joey pointed outside the door.

Natsume led Danyu outside.

Talk while walking.

Where is your younger brother?

"How did you know I wanted a younger brother?" Xiao Danyu asked, her eyes wide.

There are very few Pokémon Trainers in Kitakami Township, and she even kept asking her parents to give her a younger brother to play with.

Unfortunately, they, living far away in a big city, currently have no such plans.

Upon hearing this, Natsume understood.

It seems that Wu Li hasn't been born yet at this point in time.

That makes sense; no wonder this place looks like an undeveloped little village.

It turns out I arrived too early.

"Go, you coyote!"

Danyu lost the ball, and a spirited little gray wolf appeared.

[Coyotes, LV18.]

Seeing this, Natsume looked troubled.

He encountered the same hardship as Lance before—he didn't have any low-level Pokémon with him.

Thinking of this, Natsume frowned.

Even Hupa is not someone Xiao Danyu can handle.

It seems I need to pay more attention to this aspect in the future.

After all, with his champion status, there will definitely be new and passionate trainers challenging him and asking for guidance.

"wait for me a while."

Under Xiao Danyu's puzzled gaze, Natsume returned to the backyard of the Pokémon Center.

"Who wants to team up with me for a match? This box of super delicious berries is yours!"

Soon, Natsume selected a level 19 snake-patterned bear.

"Go, Coyote, use Tackle!"

"Snake-striped bear, get out of the way!"

In the Pokémon world, what's the best way to build relationships?
Ash will tell you without hesitation—Pokémon battles.

Xiao Gang will tell you without hesitation—to comfort a heartbroken girl.

Now Natsume has both.

"Can you please stop crying?"

Natsume looked helplessly at Xiao Danyu, who was squatting on the ground, covering her face and sobbing.

Clearly, she hadn't learned any basic knowledge about Pokémon battles. She lost miserably.

Natsume remained silent, but then he saw Xiao Danyu suddenly raise her head and look at him.

"Am I destined to never become a Pokémon Trainer?"

Xiao Danyu pouted, her eyes full of stubbornness.

Natsume looked at the other person strangely.

Do you really want to become a Pokémon Trainer?

He keenly sensed Xiao Danyu's obsession with this identity.

"I want to see the world, I don't want to stay here forever, and then end up like my parents, always staying in a big city."

Natsume was stunned.

This seems to be the life of most people in Greentown.

As a child, I longed to stay in the countryside, then I went to the city to develop my career, and now I'm back here in my old age.

"In that case, if you want to become a qualified trainer, you can first find a role model."

Natsume stood up and clapped his hands.

He took out his championship certificate and placed it in front of Xiao Danyu.

"this."

Xiao Danyu stared blankly at Natsume's outstretched hand, her tears drying on her cheeks.

She strained to focus on Natsume's championship badge, as if staring at something dazzling.

After a long silence, she slowly said:
"I can't read."

Natsume: "?"
