Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 88 The Middle-Part Hairstyle Under Immune Hypnosis
"Middle parting, high-five surprise attack!"

With a "whoosh," the man with the middle parting disappeared from his spot and slapped the stinky flower.

"Hoo-hoo—" Gloomy Flower took two steps back.

"Middle parting, iron tail!" Natsume waved his hand.

"Pikachu—" The silver tail of the man with the middle parting flashed, and he leaped high into the air, slamming hard into the Gloom.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Around them, the children stared at the man with the middle parting with shining eyes.

A small cloud of dust rose from the ground, and after the smoke cleared, Gloomy managed to stand up.

"Very good, hypnotic powder!" Erika gave the order decisively.

A pale yellow smoke rose from the field, enveloping the man with the middle parting.

"Part your hair in the middle, cover your mouth and nose," Natsume's voice came.

Unexpectedly, the man with the middle parting did not follow the instructions at all, but instead took a big breath.

Are you kidding me? Free sleep aids? Why not take them?

The reason why someone can still have a beautiful ending while asleep is quite compelling.

"Pikachu—what are you doing!" Natsume roared.

Ignoring the trainer's death stare, the man with the middle parting fell to the ground.

"Haha, you can replace him, saves us from going to the Pokémon Center."

Erika seemed to realize that the guy with the middle parting wasn't very eager to fight, and persuaded Natsume to switch to another Pokémon.

Want to trade Pokémon?

Off the field, Xiaoxia and Jiaozi looked at Erika with sympathy.

The Dragonite is a very high-level Dragon, and the Super Ball Rotom... well, let's not even mention it.

Among Natsume's Pokémon, the one with the most sunny and cheerful hairstyle is the one with the middle parting.

However, to everyone's surprise, the man with the middle parting who had fallen to the ground stood up again, looking bewildered.

"Pikachu?" He was a little confused. Why wasn't he asleep?

The hair on the man with the center parting trembled, and Natsume's voice echoed in his mind:

"If you can sleep whenever you want, can't you also choose not to sleep whenever you want?"

The man with the middle part hesitated for a moment, then nodded at Natsume.

That seems to be the case; it's not sleepy at all right now.

"One more time, Iron Tail!"

"Pickup!"

Iron Tail fell, and Gloom collapsed to the ground, dizzy.

"In the first battle, Gloom was unable to fight, and Natsume won!"

As Xiao Gang loudly announced the ending, a cheer erupted from the audience; it turned out to be the group of children.

"Did the hypnotic powder miss? Impossible." Erika's gaze darkened, assuming that Natsume had given the middle-parted hair a Zero Fruit.

"Your intelligence work is excellent, but that's enough."

"Go ahead, Koudaihua!"

Erika sent out her second Pokémon, a Pokémon that looked very much like a pitcher plant, with blue spots and a yellow body, which appeared on the field.

"Middle parting, activate ignition!"

Natsume shouted loudly.

"Pikachu!" The man with the middle parting suddenly charged towards the speechless flower.

"Ignition?" Erika was full of questions. What kind of skill was this?

But then the man with the middle parting rushed up to the speechless man and pulled out a lighter.

"Hey, hey, hey, do you even have this kind of combat item?" Xiao Gang glared angrily.

"Natsume, don't corrupt the children!" Xiaoxia stomped her foot from the sidelines.

"Hahaha." Erika didn't react to this at all, but immediately gave the order:
"This distance is perfect, hypnotic powder!"

Yellow smoke enveloped the center-parted hair again, hypnotic powder filled the air, and the flame on the lighter was extinguished instantly.

"Pikachu?" The man with the middle parting took a deep breath, but nothing happened.

"Continuous use of the Iron Tail!"

This Silenced Flower followed in the footsteps of the Stink Flower.

"Come back, you dumbbell flower." Erika withdrew her gaze and stared intently at Natsume:

"Your Pikachu is immune to sleep?"

"I just found it too, I'm planning to test it out later." Natsume's voice sounded from behind, and the man with the middle parting trembled slightly.

No, it will be seriously injured in the next match.

"I see," Erika smiled with relief.

"In that case, go ahead, you dumbflower!"

"Ku-ee!"

A huge Pokémon, somewhat resembling a Bellossom, appeared in the center of the arena. "Quick Attack!" Natsume immediately commanded.

"Pikachu!" The man with the middle parting suddenly charged forward.

"Clang!" The man with the middle parting bumped into a transparent barrier.

"Hold on?" Natsume was taken aback.

"Highly poisonous!" Elijah commanded, and a stream of purple venom spurted from the mouth of the speechless flower, hitting the middle-parted hair.

"?"

Natsume had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the figure of the speechless flower began to slowly disappear.

"Dazed Flower, use a Stand!" Instead, a Stand doll remained on the field.

Natsume: “???”

Is it really okay for you to use this tactic in front of children?
"Pikachu~" She turned around with her middle-parted hair, clutching her chest, looking at Natsume with obvious pain.

Trainer, I'm about to die.
"I just rubbed off a little bit of blood!"

Natsume, who had originally planned to change his middle-part hairstyle, became furious upon seeing the other person's behavior and suddenly decided not to change it anymore.

"Pica-"

With her head parted in the middle and tilted to the side, she wondered why Natsume didn't change it.

Never mind, I'm going to take a nap.

The man with the middle parting glanced at the stunt double in front of him and shook his head.

Natsume would occasionally teach the Pokémon some tactics.

Apart from Dragonite, the other Pokémon have gained a basic understanding of the various tactics developed by their trainers.

The man with the middle parting knew that this speechless flower seemed to be using a substitute poison.

It can't beat them, it simply can't beat them.

He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow with his middle parting.

"Whoo~"

That's right, Erika was completely confused.

Wasn't she using a highly poisonous substance? How come she fell asleep instead?
Erika was suddenly stunned. She realized that as the man with the middle parting fell asleep, the deadly poison on his body disappeared.

"You Pikachu, you know the Sleep move?" Erika exclaimed in astonishment.

"Ultimate Absorption!" Erika commanded.

Suddenly, the figure of the mouth-shaped flower appeared, and countless green energies surged from its parted-headed body.

That was the last time I heard about it.

"Huh?" Erika exclaimed in surprise.

Super Absorption failed, why?
That's right, Natsume also noticed this strange phenomenon.

"Flying Leaf Storm!"

A powerful Grass-type move attacks the middle-parted hair.

With a hiss, the leaf storm mysteriously disappeared.

"What is this?" Natsume asked, full of questions.

“I was about to ask you that too!” Erika frowned.

"One more time, ultimate absorption!"

The battle lasted for nearly an hour, and even though the mouth-blooming flower's butt was completely exhausted, the middle-parted-hair still hadn't woken up.

"I give up!" Erika sighed and put the speechless flower away.

What's up with your Pikachu?

"I don't know." Natsume picked up his middle-parted hair and ran towards the Pokémon Center.

Although the person with the middle parting was not injured, their expression became increasingly grim with each skill the person with the mouth-blowing character used, as if they were having a nightmare.

Even now, as Natsume holds the man with the middle parting in his arms, he can feel that the other person's body is icy cold and he is trembling uncontrollably.

He pried open his eyelids, and his eyes, parted in the middle, moved erratically and unconsciously, as if some great terror was chasing him in his dream.

"Mr. Natsume, your badge!"

"I'll pass this on to my younger sister, Xiaozhizi; she wants to take on the challenge too!"

Natsume's voice drifted from afar.

"Kichiko?"

Xiaoxia looked puzzled from the sidelines.

"Um... cough cough, I want to challenge you!"

Not far away, Ash stood opposite Erika, speaking in a strained voice.

Xiaoxia looked over and burst into laughter.

"Pfft hahaha!"
