Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 585 The Corresponding Existence of the Reversed World

Natsume didn't go straight back to the cave, but instead took a detour around the entire mountain.

To his astonishment, he found no trace of Egui Peng.

Originally, Natsume thought that since the entrance to this place was in Ekipō's house, it should be related to the other party.

For example, is there another Evil Phantom or something like that?
But clearly, reality is not quite what Natsume imagined.

After a fruitless search, Natsume had no choice but to return the way he came.

As soon as he arrived at the cave entrance, he saw the man with the middle parting hanging himself.

"Pikachu Pipi"

The middle-parted hair was stuck in a vine at the entrance of the cave.

Its entire body appeared to be floating towards the sky, but fortunately, its neck was restrained by vines, preventing it from flying into the sky and disappearing into the unknown, like Natsume's thermal imaging.

As the parted-headed creature struggled, its face turned red, and the fur on its neck became wet with sweat, sticking to the vine. It was clear that it had been outwitting and outmaneuvering the vine for quite some time.

"Swinging is not allowed here."

Natsume casually pulled off his swaying middle-parted hair.

"Pickup!"

The man with the middle parting gripped Natsume's sleeve tightly, panting heavily as he breathed in the fresh air.

Pickup truck!
If Natsume had arrived any later, it felt it would have been killed by the vines alone.

Why don't you use your techniques?

Natsume looked at the man with the middle parting with suspicion.

"Pika pika pika!"

At this point, the man with the middle parting got really excited and went on and on about it.

"You said you originally wanted to use the Iron Tail to cut the vines, but the Iron Tail was limp?"

Natsume was stunned.

"Then your dream space with the lighter probably won't be useful either."

Natsume stroked his chin, thinking that based on his previous experiences, it seemed that things from the real world couldn't be used here.

"Alright, stay in the cave if you have nothing else to do, and don't wander around."

Seeing that the middle-parted hair floated up into the sky as soon as he let go, Natsume casually picked up a stone, tore off a vine, tied it up, and tied the other end to the middle-parted hair's waist.

"Did anything happen while I was away?"

Natsume suddenly spoke up.

"Pikachu."

The man with the middle parting pointed to the straw mat.

"Oh?" Natsume became interested, thinking that the four pieces of wood had changed.

When Natsume suddenly lifted the lid, he found nothing there.

In addition to the fact that each piece of wood had an extra rat tooth mark, there was also an extra one on it.

"?"

"Pikachu." I'm hungry.

With her hair parted in the middle, she touched her belly, looking completely self-righteous.

"."

Fortunately, Natsume has a habit of stocking up on food in the system space, so milk and small bread are always available.

After wandering around for most of the day, Natsume was a little tired.

He ate a little something, then lay down on the straw mat and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day.

"people"

"people"

Faintly, Natsume heard strange noises.

Natsume was pulled from his light sleep by that faint yet persistent call.

He opened his eyes, and the faint morning light outside the cave seeped in through the gaps in the vines, giving the cold air a hazy glow.

He followed the sound out of the cave and saw a figure standing on the misty hillside. It was a girl, whose figure was similar to Danyu in reality, but with a translucent quality like the villagers, pale skin, and a ghostly, ethereal quality.

But she was completely different from the terrified villagers of the previous night—she was wearing a dark blue cotton dress that was washed so cleanly that it was almost too stiff.

She wore a small white apron over her hair, which was neatly braided into two braids, and wore a pair of round, slightly old-fashioned glasses.

Clutching a thick book with a blurry cover tightly in her hand, she stood on tiptoe, peering towards the cave with a mixture of fear and curiosity.

When she saw Natsume come out, her eyes behind her glasses lit up suddenly. It wasn't fear, but an almost fanatical excitement, like discovering a new continent.

"Humans really are human!"

She murmured to herself softly and excitedly.

His voice was gentle and scholarly, a stark contrast to the screams of the villagers the night before.

Instead of backing down, she cautiously approached step by step.

His gaze was fixed on Natsume's incredibly clear "human" face, as if he were observing some rare treasure.

"Hello, hello." She mustered her courage to speak, her voice trembling slightly with nervousness, but her tone was exceptionally polite.

"Excuse me, are you the legendary 'person'?"

“I read about it in a book! The book says that you have ‘solid forms, clear faces, and scorching breath,’ and it’s true!”

Natsume: "."

He was momentarily at a loss for words.

Being observed and studied as a legendary creature was a first for me.

Seeing that Natsume didn't immediately show any aggression, the girl seemed to grow bolder. She moved a little closer, adjusted her glasses, and carefully examined Natsume's cosplay outfit:
"You, the clothes you're wearing do indeed resemble those mentioned in the prophecy."

Natsume's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

However, he became somewhat interested in what the girl called language.

He heard similar words from those villagers last night.

"What's your name?" Natsume suddenly asked, taking the initiative to strike up a conversation with the girl.

The other party seemed somewhat flattered, paused for a moment, and then quickly replied:

"My name is Danyu!"

Danyu?!
Natsume was suddenly jolted, staring incredulously at the quiet, bookish, and even somewhat old-fashioned ghost girl before him.

In the real world, she was a wild and unruly troublemaker, full of whimsical ideas, and able to get along with all sorts of strange creatures. But in the reversed world, she's actually a well-behaved girl from a scholarly family!

Natsume was greatly shocked, but when he thought about how this was a reversed world, he felt it made a lot of sense.

Seeing Natsume remain silent, Danyu took the initiative to introduce herself, her tone carrying a scholarly seriousness:
"I live in Green Green Town at the foot of the mountain."

"I have always believed that 'humans' are real beings, not monsters that bring disaster!"

"They're just...just another form of intelligent life, just like us! Everyone in town says I'm crazy, but look, I really found them!"

Her tone was filled with the joy of finding a kindred spirit, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Natsume.

Will prophets bring disaster?

Natsume suddenly thought of the strange and monstrous creatures in the real world.

Some elderly people in the village would also say that ghosts would bring disaster.

It seems that my position in this world is not much different from that of the Egui Peng.

"Hmm." Natsume nodded in agreement, his attention indeed shifting elsewhere.

In the reversed world, there is also Danyu.

In the reversed world, there is also a Joey.
Does this mean that everyone in this world has a corresponding counterpart?

A thought flashed through Natsume's mind like lightning, instantly igniting a fire within him—

In this reversed world, could there be a corresponding "me"?

A ghostly "Natsume" belonging to this world?
No, not necessarily.

Natsume suddenly shook his head.

He first needs to determine some things.

Thinking of this, he looked intently at Danyu.
