Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 6 Rules of the Game
Natsume ran back to his room with the small jar in his arms.

Closing the door, bathing, changing clothes, burning incense, the whole process is smooth and flowing.

Soon, a faint smoke like mist filled the small room.

In the smoke, Natsume took out the ten scratch-off tickets with excitement.

This is the result of his five years in Pallet Town, racking his brains and collaborating with the selfless Pokémon throughout the town to come up with ten entry-level topics, complete them, and finally get the results of his labor!
These ten scratch-off tickets are extremely precious.

Looking at the scratch-off lottery ticket with red and white balls printed on it in his hand, Natsume felt his eyes turn red and tears couldn't stop flowing.

A light smoke filled the air, and Natsume's tears flowed like a fountain.

"Ahem. Very well then, let me see what the extraordinary reward you mentioned is!"

Natsume is not too greedy, just give him ten alpacas.

Immediately, with the right time, place and people, and the ceremony going smoothly, Natsume did not hesitate at all. After taking two deep breaths, he directly scratched off the red and white ball marks on the first scratch-off ticket with his fingernails.

In an instant, a fierce golden light burst out. At the same time, a pleasant voice sounded in Natsume's mind:

[Ding—Congratulations to the host for opening the Red and White Ball Scratch-Off Lottery and winning 1 Pokémon Red and White Ball! ]

"Ok?"

Looking at the red and white ball that appeared out of thin air in front of him, Natsume was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he scratched another scratch-off ticket.

[Ding—Congratulations to the host for scratching the red and white ball lottery and winning 1 Pokémon red and white ball.]

The expression on Natsume's face changed subtly, and he scratched the third one in disbelief.

Red and white balls +1.

The fourth one.

Red and white balls +1.

Until the tenth card, all the balls were red and white.

"Clap!"

A tear fell on the red and white balls on the ground, and Natsume suddenly felt that the bond between him and the Pokémon in Pallet Town might not be as deep as he had imagined.

After scratching the last scratch-off ticket, a sound exactly the same as the previous one rang in his mind. Natsume didn't know if it was because of anger, but he just felt dizzy.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for scratching the red and white ball lottery ticket and winning Pokémon Go.]

"System, is this the extraordinary reward you mentioned?"

Natsume felt his eyes go dark and he fell on the bed beside him.

Silent all night.

The next day, early in the morning.

Natsume woke up to Xiaozhi's worried voice.

"Ms. Joy, Natsume-san is awake!"

His vision was a little blurry, but Natsume could vaguely see Satoshi running out while yelling.

Xiaozhi ran out and the room suddenly became quiet.

Natsume stared at the ceiling, and the scene of last night's Happy Ten Consecutive Days kept flashing through his mind.

Is Natsume really so unlucky?
Five years of hard work only to get ten red and white balls!
Just ten!

Before he set out, things were much smoother at the Oak Research Institute.

Huh? Strange, I don't seem to be in the same room anymore.

Natsume suddenly realized that the ceiling seemed a little different from that in his own room.

Before Natsume could think about it, the door next to him opened again and Miss Joy, dressed as a nurse, walked in.

Looking at Natsume who had just woken up, Joey covered his face with a headache and couldn't help but say:
"Seriously, how did you manage to get gas poisoning in a room at the Pokémon Center?"

This place was attacked by Team Rocket last night, and this morning, someone was found suffering from gas poisoning in a room on the second floor.

On the side, Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia also came over:

"Yeah, Natsume-san, your eyes are swollen from the smoke, didn't you notice?"

Natsume's head was dizzy, but after listening to the conversation between the two, he reacted.

Is he gas poisoned?

Oh?
Natsume raised his eyebrows slightly and opened his system panel. After scrolling down for a while, he finally saw a topic.

[SSS-level project - Research on the physical constitution of an artificial true new superhuman, experimental subject: Natsume.]

Clicking on the topic, Natsume's current state was revealed:
[Strength: 0.05 Intelligence]

Wisdom: 100

[Agility: 0.05 Intelligence]

[Electrical resistance: 0.5 intelligence]

[Fire resistance]

This project was triggered by the system when Natsume came to Pallet Town and met Satoshi for the first time, and the counting unit is Satoshi.

For several consecutive years, although he did not make much progress, he did make some significant discoveries. For example, as Pokémon were constantly attacked from weak to strong, resistance in all aspects could be improved, and resistance below 0.5 would slowly decrease naturally.

In a long list of resistances, Natsume found poison resistance. [Poison resistance: 0.2 intelligence]

Hmm? His poison resistance has been reduced from 0.3 to 0.2.

No wonder he kept wanting to cry last night. It turned out that the gas was smoking him.

Natsume thought that the bond between him and the Pokémon of Pallet Town was deep, and that he was about to awaken some kind of power against his will.

Sure enough, it wasn't because he was unlucky, nor was it because the bond between him and the task Pokémon was bad, it was simply because the "fragrance" was not good!
Natsume thought that he could not use the "incense" made by gas bombs in the future. No, his luck was not good.

I wonder what the coal turtle is like?
Natsume fell into deep thought.

Looking at the dazed Natsume, Xiaozhi covered his face.

"Pickup!"

On Ash's shoulder, Pikachu also imitated him and covered his face at the same time.

At this moment, Xiaozhi, a ten-year-old boy, also fully understood why everyone asked him to keep an eye on Natsume.

If he hadn't discovered it early this morning, Natsume might have died without realizing it.

Turning around, Natsume looked at Pikachu standing on Satoshi's shoulder and nodded slightly.

It seems that after the training with Team Rocket last night, the relationship between Ash and Pikachu has improved a lot.

"that!"

Under Natsume's gaze, Xiaozhi suddenly turned to look at Xiaoxia, who was standing beside him with a shocked face, and said:
"Well, Xiaoxia, you've seen Natsume-san's condition. We might have to rest here for a day. If you're in a hurry to go to Cerulean City...ah!"

Before Xiaozhi could finish his words, Xiaoxia grabbed his collar and lifted him up:

"Why, do you mean you want to send me away so you don't have to compensate me for my bicycle?"

Seeing Natsume and Joey looking at her, Xiaoxia let go of Xiaozhi and snorted coldly:

"Humph, I have plenty of time to waste with you anyway!"

"Well, then, okay, if that's the case, then where are you, Natsume-san?"

Xiaozhi scratched his head and looked at the bed beside him, but was surprised to find that Natsume was gone.

You were clearly here just a second ago!
"Oh, this patient needs to rest and recuperate!"

Seeing this, Miss Joy also expressed her concern.

Really let go and hide.

Fearing that Natsume might have accidentally died in some deserted corner, Xiaozhi ran out in a hurry and began to look for her.

Natsume's original room.

"Loto!"

As Rotom's voice rang out on the phone, a faint light appeared in the room.

"Shh-"

A flash of light passed by, and Natsume's figure emerged.

Using Rotom's teleportation, Natsume returned to his room.

He came to collect the ten red and white balls.

Natsume was already upset, and if he lost even these ten red and white balls, he would feel even worse.

"One, two nines, eh?"

Natsume's hand that was picking up the ball stopped in mid-air.

Strange, what about the tenth one?

Looking left and right, Natsume still couldn't find the tenth red and white ball.

It's impossible that we were robbed. Although Team Rocket came here last night, they were chased away by Ash and Misty.

If you get robbed, it’s impossible to just take one red or white ball.

Could it be that my tenth reward is not a red or white ball?
A sense of hope suddenly arose in Natsume's heart.

He vaguely remembered that he didn't seem to hear what the tenth reward was before he passed out.

With excitement, Natsume opened his system backpack.

红白球X10086、板砖X88、定制特色睡服X12、环卫工人制服X3、火箭队高仿干部制服X3，火箭队普通队员制服X3
Apart from the things he had originally prepared, there were no new items in it.

Is it possible to open the air?
Natsume didn't believe it, so he opened his system panel.

The moment the panel appeared, Natsume was stunned.

In addition to the saved topics, there is also a small module on the originally clean and tidy research institute panel.

【Pokémon Game Battle Arena】

[During the battle, you can choose a venue to start the battle, and pull both parties into the Pokémon game battle field. All battle rules are carried out according to the game! ]

"Oh--"

Seeing this, Natsume narrowed his eyes.

In this case, can't he, Natsume, the King of Medicine, kill the divine beast alone?
