Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 619 All You Need to Do Is Wear This Outfit

Daigo flew toward one of the sub-arenas, causing quite a commotion.

Even Ash, who had just won, thought that everyone's exclamations were cheers for him.

Looking up, he realized that the person everyone was cheering for was Daigo.

The other person held their phone as if it were an urn, standing on the Metagross, and headed straight for them.

As Xiaozhi got closer, he saw that Natsume's large portrait was printed on the phone.

"Congratulations, Ash, you've made it into the quarterfinals."

The person in the headshot spoke, and Xiao Zhi paused for half a second before realizing it was a video call.

"Natsume-san!"

Ash happily went to greet him, but when he got to Steven, he suddenly stopped.

"Hello, Mr. Daigo."

After greeting him, Ash looked at Natsume with a surprised expression:

"By the way, Natsume-nii, why couldn't I get in touch with you before?"

As Xiaozhi spoke, he took out the satellite communicator that Natsume had customized for him, which looked like a brick.

"Didn't you say that with this thing, we could contact you no matter where we were?"

"Let's wait until technology advances to the point where we can launch satellites." Natsume's lips twitched.

"Wasn't it already possible?" Ash tilted his head, naturally unaware that Natsume was referring to the satellite of the Reverse World.

The Reverse World has something similar to gravity, so it should be possible to create satellite-like objects.

It all depends on whether Xin Yi and his corresponding PhDs can deliver.

"Good luck, I'm going to find Zapdos now."

As Natsume spoke, he gestured for Daigo to help him pat Ash's head.

Daiwu: "."

After doing so, Daigo "carried" Natsume out of the arena and headed straight for the Pokémon Center on the island.

Pokémon Center.

"Cannes!"

With a cheerful cry, Zapdos darted into the red and white ball in Steven's hand.

Following Natsume's instructions, the serial number of the Pokémon transfer device from Sunny Academy was entered, and Zapdos was returned to Natsume.

"Is that all right?"

Daigo was about to hang up when Natsume stopped him.

"Wait, I have another package."

Daigo: “???”

Why did you send your package here?!

Daigo couldn't understand Natsume's thought process at all.

Daigo gave Natsume a look as if she were a lunatic, then got up and quickly went to the post office next door to pick up Natsume's package.

"Open."

When Natsume spoke, Daigo was slightly taken aback.

"You really don't hold back when you call people over."

"I'll show you the crystal turtle later."

Daigo's lips twitched, but he didn't take Natsume's words to heart. He gave the Metagross a wink.

"Zeng la~"

In an instant, everything in the box was taken out intact.

It's a few pieces of clothing.

"What an ugly outfit! Did you buy this for Xiaozhi?"

Daigo disdainfully used the tips of two fingers to carefully pinch the shoulder seam of a garment, as if it were some strange creation that needed to be handled with care.

To his surprise, the feel of the fabric was not cheap or rough, but rather an exceptionally smooth, thick, and resilient high-end feel.

It is obvious that the materials used are extremely high-quality, and it is definitely not an ordinary commercially available product.

However, this superior material was completely ruined by a disastrous aesthetic.

It was a bright, highly saturated golden-yellow coat, so bright it was almost blinding, as if dyed directly by sunlight. The front of the coat was densely covered with various iconic elements of Pokémon battles, printed with a complex yet extremely bold color scheme using a special ink.
In the upper left corner is an evolution key stone pattern with a slightly stiff design, in the lower right corner is a Z-Ring with rigid lines, and in the center of the chest is a Dynamax symbol that attempts to express a dynamic expansion effect but ultimately looks like an irregular patch of light.

On the back, a huge, crystalline crown was printed with a special coating that has a subtle reflective effect, which, while attempting to create a sense of luxury, only appears bulky.

These elements are piled together without any design aesthetics, and the color contrasts are so strong that they are almost clashing, making it dazzling to look at and completely wasting this good fabric.

However, what truly made Daigo's lips twitch was that on top of this already visually striking image, advertising slogans were printed in all sorts of strange fonts, colors, and with absolutely no typographical logic:
"Sponsored by the Billionaire King Foundation! The champion's choice!"

The font was huge and bold, taking up the entire right arm, as if afraid people wouldn't see it.

Sunshine Academy: Make your Pokémon Master dream come true!

The winding, twisted imprint below the Taijing crown on the back ruins the only element that might be somewhat "cool".

Rotom Technology, changing the future of combat!

It was pasted on the left sleeve like a patch, and the text even had a flashing effect.

"Designated Partner of the United Alliance!" The small line, squeezed onto the collar, resembled some kind of washing label.

The most outrageous thing is that there is a line of small print at the hem of the clothes: "Natsume reserves the right to final interpretation of this clothing."

Daigo felt a slight numbness in the corner of his mouth.

Are you sure you want Ash to wear this?

He asked, skeptical.

"Don't worry about it, as long as the advertising is effective."

Natsume is a staunch advocate of coconut tree advertising aesthetics.

“Okay.” Daigo rolled his eyes, but he quickly noticed that there seemed to be another piece of clothing inside.

This outfit is very large; it's clearly not meant for Ash.

Upon comparison, Daigo realized that it was actually quite a good match for him.

"This is the faculty uniform, a custom-made version prepared for you."

Natsume's voice buzzed from the phone.

"When did I say I was your employee?"

Daigo shook his head.

Impossible. A man of his elegance would never wear such a sallow-yellow outfit in his entire life.

"is it?"

Natsume tilted his head, seemingly having expected this, and did not insist.

"correct."

Daigo finally noticed something was wrong with his clothes.

He pointed to the crystal crown and said:
"What is this golden, crystal-like thing?"

"Taijinghua, the combat system that our academy is about to launch."

As Natsume spoke, he held up the little blue turtle that looked completely bewildered and whose four legs were dangling in the air.

Damn it, I shouldn't have gone out for a stroll.
Talebagos looked utterly dejected.

Just a few days ago, it had planned to return directly to its own world.

As a result, Natsume insisted that it help popularize crystallization in this world.

Would it agree to something that doesn't bring it any benefit?
Naturally, it resisted fiercely. Until Natsume took out a dog-head stamp and stamped it on its butt.

It behaved itself.

"This Pokémon?"

Daigo's eyes lit up, and he suddenly leaned closer.

This was the first time it had ever seen a turtle-like Pokémon with a shell that looked like a piece of crystal!
Seeing Daigo's heart flutter for a second, Natsume grinned and unleashed his ultimate move:

"Tai Crystallization, you can think of it as being able to cover all Pokémon with a layer of crystal!"

"Really!!!"

Daigo's voice suddenly rose, startling passersby.

"Yes, if you wear that outfit and help us promote it, you can get it early!"

A seductive voice, like that of a devil, rang out.
