Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 583 This is outrageous! Help!!!
Natsume fiddled with his middle-parted hair in shock, thinking he had been bitten by some kind of mutated spider.

"Pickup!"

The man with the middle parting, who was squatting on the top of the cave, was still suffering from severe abdominal pain.

Natsume found its current state very strange.

If you squat against gravity at the top of a cave, your excrement will be affected by gravity and fall to the ground.

Ignoring the engrossed middle-parted hair, Natsume carefully examined the scene inside the cave.

Amidst the flowers scattered on the ground, a tattered straw mat seemed somewhat different.

For example, when Natsume lifts the raised straw mat, instead of four masks, there are four huge wooden blocks underneath.

"WTF?"

Natsume turned the four wooden blocks over and examined them for a few moments.

It seems that it can be used to make four masks?
Why would he make four masks? He's not some kind of monster.
Natsume subconsciously raised his hand and touched the top of his head, his fingertips touching a soft and elastic orange-colored fabric.

His heart skipped a beat, and an extremely ominous premonition surged up within him.

He took out a small mirror from the system space and slowly held it up in front of him.

The face reflected in the mirror was still his own—the face of Natsume, the human champion.

but--

On his head, he was wearing a round hood made of bright orange fabric, with a tuft of hair sticking up playfully on top.

Two holes were cut out in the eye area of ​​the hood, revealing his own eyes filled with shock and bewilderment.

The most outrageous thing is that two small white tiger teeth were sewn out with thread at the mouth position of the hood.

He suddenly looked down at his own body.

The familiar inspector's trench coat was gone, replaced by a slightly oversized, crookedly stitched, light green cloak that fit him poorly.

At the collar of his cloak, a childlike bow made of rough pink fabric swayed gently with his movements.

The needlework and the design were exactly the same as the one on the Evil Cloak he had seen before!
He's become a cosplay version of the Evil Spirit?!
"System, what is this thing?"

Natsume is certain that, apart from the system, no one can secretly change his clothes.

There is absolutely no one there.

[The world adapts.]

"adapt?"

Natsume was completely bewildered.

Why do we need to change into the clothes of the evil spirits to adapt?
He was deeply puzzled.

"You stay in the cave, I'll go out and take a look."

Ultimately, curiosity about the reversed world prevailed, and Natsume slowly walked out of the cave.

He was very curious about what was outside the cave.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

The night view of Kitakami Village appeared before Natsume.

Natsume looked around.

There are no trees hanging upside down in the sky, nor is there a moon beneath your feet, and you won't float as if you've lost gravity.

Although he didn't know if it was due to the system's so-called world adaptability, Natsume felt that this place was no different from the real world.

Wearing that comical yet conspicuous Evil Ponco cosplay outfit, Natsume carefully walked along the small road in Kitakami Village in the Reverse World.

The scenery under the moonlight was almost identical to that in the real world—familiar houses, winding paths, and the dark silhouettes of distant mountains.

But an indescribable, chilling silence filled the air, as if all sound had been sucked away by something.

He quickly noticed the "life" here.

Several shuttlecock grasses floated in mid-air, but their figures were more transparent than in reality, like swaying gray dust, without substance, moving silently, leaving only faint, quickly dissipating trails behind them.

When they saw Natsume, they didn't show the curiosity or wariness of real-world Pokémon. Instead, they dispersed like startled fog, merging into the darkness as if they had never existed.

A dream demon peeked out from under the eaves. Its ruby-red eyes were dull, like two dusty glass beads, and its signature eerie smile looked stiff and rigid, like a broken puppet.

It simply watched Natsume pass by quietly and blankly, without any reaction.

Even the cat that had been dozing by the roadside had an unnatural translucent appearance, and its purring was so faint that it was almost inaudible.

The claws twitched occasionally, but not a speck of dust was stirred up.

It's more like a blurry projection of a "sleeping Meowth" than a living Pokémon.

All the Pokémon here seem like faded, ghostly versions, devoid of some of their souls. They exist, yet seem to be separated by a layer of frosted glass, carrying an inescapable sense of alienation and deathly stillness.

"It seems that if Dr. Yew and his group really did wander into this place by mistake, their situation is probably not good."

Natsume frowned, his ominous premonition growing stronger.

Without further hesitation, he took immediate action.

Golden telekinetic energy suddenly surged forth.

Soon, Natsume saw the heart, lungs, and small intestine.
"Ok?"

Natsume was stunned.

What does "endoscopy" mean?
He was stunned for a moment, and after several attempts, he discovered that he couldn't project his telekinesis outwards at all.

Does turning the world upside down mean we have to turn it upside down?
Natsume subconsciously controlled his telekinetic endoscopy.

Soon, Natsume saw the heart, lungs, and small intestine.
It has absolutely no effect.

"system?"

Natsume frowned.

The system did not answer.

Unfortunately, Natsume had no choice but to give up.

Is it because Killer Tinker has ghost properties and dislikes psychic abilities that he can't use telekinesis in the Reverse World?

Natsume wasn't in a hurry, and instead took out a head-mounted thermal imaging device from the system space.

As soon as it was taken out, the thermal imaging camera floated high into the air.

Natsume: "?"

He stood there, stunned, watching the instrument drift away against gravity.

It's okay, he has a second one.

After some effort, he finally put on the thermal imaging device.

Looking left and right, all I could see was gray and white.

There are no warm or cool tones.

"broken?"

Natsume looked at his palm; the thermal image did not show any warm tones.

After several attempts, he found that all thermal imaging was failing.

"what happened?"

Natsume was filled with doubt.

Unfortunately, there's very little research on the Reverse World, and he doesn't understand why.

Not only thermal imaging, but also things like mobile phones and electromagnetic fields are all ineffective.

Left with no other choice, Natsume had to rely on manpower to wander around the area.

"Green Emerald Town?"

Natsume stood at the village entrance and read out the words from above, one by one.

His lips twitched, and he walked straight toward the Pokémon Center.

Yes, there are Pokémon Centers in the Reverse World too!

This was something Natsume hadn't anticipated.

"There's no difference."

Natsume stood outside the Pokémon Center.

Apart from the classic red and orange of the Pokémon Center being changed to ice blue, everything else, including all the details, is the same inside and out.

Even Miss Joey in it looks exactly the same!
Aside from being a little pale and unsteady on his feet?
"Hello, I'd like to ask you something."

As Natsume approached, Joey looked up, but as if she had seen a ghost, she immediately let out a scream:
"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

The next second, Natsume saw Joey running away in fear, clutching his head.

"Help! Someone's there!"

"Help! The Pokémon Center is causing a disturbance!!!"
