Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 612 What the hell is she learning?

The Egui Pon and its first companion did not belong to Beishang Township.

It seems they were fighting against some force, and by some twist of fate, they ended up in the reversed world of their world.

"Does that guy who's in charge have a ring like that?"

As Natsume spoke, he suddenly took out a rainbow ring with the words "Hoen" printed on it.

"Bonnie!"

Seeing this, Egui Peng nodded vigorously, his eyes blazing with undisguised anger.

"You mean, the characters are different?"

Natsume was stunned.

Since Natsume couldn't read, he took out a small sticker, wrote "Sinnoh" on it, and stuck it on the rainbow ring.

"Is this how it is?"

Natsume naturally assumed that the Reverse World was under the jurisdiction of the Rainbow Rocket Team executives who were responsible for the Sinnoh region.

However, Egui Peng shook his head.

There are indeed such rings, and they do have inscriptions on them, but they are not in this shape.

"Ok?"

Natsume frowned.

It's not Sinnoh!
Based on my previous interactions with the Rainbow Rockets, they have a very distinct style of handling matters with a regional responsibility system.

Basically, different cadres were assigned to different regions.

Natsume, refusing to believe in superstition, wrote down the names Unova, Johto, Kanto, and Carlos on the paper in that order.
Without exception, all of them shook their heads.

All eight regions denied it?

In that moment of stunned silence, a glint suddenly flashed in Natsume's eyes.

With a flourish of his hand, he wrote the three words "Padia".

Almost the instant the paper was pasted on, the Evil Spirit reacted.

"Bonnie!"

This is it!

"That's it"

Evil and her companions are fighting against the Rainbow Rocket executives in charge of the Padia region.

Are they from the world of the little turtle?
Natsume suddenly remembered that the little turtle had mentioned that "the active Rainbow Rocket Team seems to have been driven away for some reason."

"Let's go to the cave."

Natsume patted Ekipon's head and walked into the quiet cave.

Judging from the other party's account, Egui Peng's companions are probably already in grave danger.

Inside the cave, all was silent, save for the low hum of the energy conversion device in the distance and the occasional dripping sound.

The villagers had already returned to their newly built dormitories to rest, leaving only Natsume and the evil spirit beside him in the vast space.

As soon as they stepped into the core area of ​​the cave, a sudden change occurred.

Om-!
The three new masks placed on the corner stone platform were created by Natsume and Talebagos.

The stove, the rock, and the well—as if drawn by an invisible force—suddenly took flight on their own, transforming into three streaks of light that landed precisely and obediently in the outstretched hands of the Egui Peng.

This sudden change startled Ergui Peng. It looked down at the three masks in its hands, which had a peculiar texture and flowed energy in an unusually gentle and stable manner, and then looked up at Natsume in a daze.

Natsume's eyes flickered slightly.

At the heart of these four masks is a close connection to Urgot and its original trainer.

The new mask is just an outer shell; the true master is the "core" inside.

Almost at the same time that the three new masks fell into the hands of the Evil Spirit—

Four black masks that were originally located in the real world suddenly appeared around Egui Peng.

Natsume's pupils contracted slightly, and a golden light shone through them.

Click, click, click.
Spiderweb-like cracks quickly spread across the surfaces of the four old masks, and then, with a soft cracking sound, they shattered completely. A thick, pure, oily-green mist surged forth from the broken masks, but instead of dissipating, it swirled and condensed within the cave!
Natsume watched this scene calmly.

Sure enough, the core material of these black masks is a special substance from the Reverse World, containing Giratina's energy.

The mist swirled and eventually coalesced into a blurry, semi-transparent humanoid silhouette.

It was an image of a young trainer dressed in what looked like adventure gear, with a lithe physique and a gentle yet resolute expression on his face.

His gaze seemed to pierce through time and space, carrying a hint of weariness and relief.

"Bonnie!!!"

The moment Ergui Peng saw the image, it trembled with excitement, let out a cry that sounded like a sob, and lunged forward, wanting to hug its trainer as it used to.

However, its body passed through the image formed by the condensed mist without any hindrance.

Ergui Peng fell to the ground, turned around in disbelief, and looked at the figure that was still clear but untouchable. His big eyes instantly filled with tears, filled with helplessness and sorrow.

Natsume watched in silence.

This appears to be simply a pre-programmed imagery generated using some kind of technology, instantly activated by the energy from the mask's shattering.
At this moment, the trainer's image, formed from condensed mist, slowly spoke, its voice carrying a faint, ethereal echo, yet clearly penetrating the cave:
"Those who come after..."

"If you can see this video, it means you've already met the Evil Spirit and prepared a new 'home' for her, right?"

His gaze seemed to sweep over the three new masks in Ergui's hands.

"I come from a world that is being invaded by Team Rainbow Rocket. Paddia."

The gaze of the images seems to have sharpened.

“Those guys implanted some kind of tracking coordinates into my body, so I have nowhere to escape.”

"In the end, I came into this world by a twist of fate, to this beautiful and peaceful Beishang Township."

"But I cannot stay. I cannot bring disaster to this land and its people because of my selfishness. Isn't this also someone else's hometown?"

"I was probably already gone when I left this message."

The tone of the video carries a deep sense of regret and relief.

Then, his gaze seemed to become more focused, as if piercing through time, and landed on Natsume:

"I spread those rumors in the village, the rumors that 'people' bring disaster."

"Please, teach it so that it can gain the villagers' recognition and acceptance on its own, just like you gained their recognition."

"It is a kind child, and it deserves a true home."

The sound of the image gradually faded, and the figure began to gradually disappear.

"Ergui Peng, from now on, you must be strong."

The final words, along with the images, completely turned into specks of green light and dissipated into the air.

"Bonnie! Bonnie—!" The Evil Phantom stretched out its claws in vain, trying to grasp the dissipating light, but could only let them fall limply, emitting a sorrowful whimper.

Natsume stood there, his expression hidden behind the green grass mask.

He gently touched his nose.

This guy is quite thoughtful.

They even considered the possibility of being ostracized by the Egui Pong, and later, when someone took the postgraduate entrance exam, they simulated the Egui Pong's identity to solve the problem.
The final line of the video, "Teach it to gain recognition and acceptance," left Natsume somewhat speechless.

He recalled the process of gaining the villagers' "recognition"—first, he knocked out and dragged away the young and strong, then he established a "sweatshop" to pay "high salaries," and finally, he relied on the "disease treatment and health care" effects to make the whole village go crazy in the competition.

Natsume: "...Can she learn this?"

This process is clearly not replicable.

Especially in the real world, it simply wouldn't work.

However, it seemed that the first trainer and Natsume had deeply memorized the words of the other trainer.

It wiped away its tears with its paws, got up from the ground, turned around, raised its head, and looked at Natsume with its large, still moist but unusually serious and determined eyes, making a firm and resounding request:

"Bonnie! Bonnie Bonnie!" (I want to learn! Please teach me!)
Its eyes were filled with determination, as if it were about to embark on a difficult but glorious path of spiritual practice.

Natsume looked down at it and remained silent for a few seconds.

What the hell are you learning?
