Chapter 55 Corrupted Leaf City
Professor Oak and his team took full control of the collaboration with the giant Dragonite.
Currently, Professor Magnolia is in charge of Mt. Tsukimi, and Professor Oak is in charge of Mystery Island.
Communication with the Zheng Hui Lighthouse was restored, and that night, Natsume contacted Grandma Kikuko.
"Oh—you mean Gengar? I'll leave it with you for now; I heard it's Dynamaxed."
On the other end of the screen, a somewhat dignified and old-fashioned woman paused for a moment, then continued:
"Professor Oak said you're going to participate in the League Tournament, right? I'm the Elite Four member who's maintaining order this time. Just bring this kid to me then."
Grandma Kikuko then hung up.
"Hmm," Natsume roughly guessed.
The other party wanted Gengar to experience Gigantamax a few more times with them beforehand.
The idea of Dynamaxing being implemented in the Kanto region was previously just a pipe dream.
However, with the addition of the giant Dragonite, the possibility of implementing Dynamax is now very high.
Grandma Kikuko must have heard the news too.
"Geng Ga!" A chubby little hand reached out to Natsume.
Natsume understood immediately and handed over a spicy jelly stick. Gengar took it and began puffing away.
Natsume remained silent.
This thing is attractive to Poison-type Pokémon, but it doesn't seem to be that strong, does it?
It might not be such a bad thing if Grandma Kiku finds out later.
The next day, Natsume and the others bid farewell to everyone and continued their journey towards Konoha City.
This time, the journey was smooth, and two days later, the group arrived safely at the Pokémon Center in Vermilion City.
"It's really not easy to come to Konoha City. I wish I could go on a luxury cruise ship sometime!"
At the dilapidated dining table, Xia's eyes lit up as she looked at the poster of the St. Anne on the wall.
"But we have to challenge the gyms first." Ash's muffled voice came through as he ate.
"But the boat tickets there seem to be very expensive, we can't afford them." Xiao Gang brought Xiao Xia, who was lost in her daydream, back to reality.
Not far away, Jiaozi was serving food to Xia Mu with a tray. Hearing their conversation, she turned her head, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Mr. Natsume, here's your lunch." Jiaozi put down the food and looked at Natsume curiously.
At this moment, Natsume is holding up a complex blueprint.
This is his concept design for the Rotom mech. Most of the design consists of simple lines, and the designer doesn't seem to have a clear idea yet.
The only part that was lit up was the head area.
There was a picture of a Master Ball player named Rotom there.
The task is arduous and the road ahead is long. Putting aside materials and funding for the time being, he still needs to acquire at least five top-tier Rotoms.
Of course, before that, the Rotom, a transformable motorcycle, needs to be built to verify some of his conjectures.
"Mr. Natsume, what is this?" Jiaozi looked intently at Natsume.
She had always thought Natsume was indifferent to worldly desires, but when the teacher looked at this design just now, he seemed quite eager.
"It's nothing." Natsume yawned, glancing at the Pokémon who were happily feasting beside him.
Unlike previous lunches, this time, a large creature was mixed in with the group of guys with parted hair, Squirtle, and Charmander.
"Hmph!" Blood-red hot air spewed from the Great Dragonite's nose, carrying a faint smell of blood.
Red sweat seeped from its body, and bloodstains flowed in the furrows of its ferocious face, making it look extremely vicious.
Especially the opponent's pair of wings, one large and one small, created a sense of disharmony that frightened the surrounding Pokémon even more.
Everyone kept their distance, fearing that the other party might suddenly attack. Even Pikachu had some awe towards him.
Simply put, it's the offspring of a giant Dragonite. Although its talent is lacking, its level is high—[Dragonite, lv60.]
His fierce expression, coupled with the blood and sweat, caused the other trainers who were eating nearby to unconsciously move away and stay far away.
Except for the middle-parted head that's practically dead—it lies on top of Dragonite's head, fast asleep with its head on its spiky head.
"Woo~" Dragonite felt a little lonely, so it walked towards Natsume.
"Hmph!" Dragonite lifted his leg and stepped onto the dining table in front of Natsume. He sat down on the table, holding his large bowl, and started eating while watching Natsume.
It seems like Natsume's recipe is a dish that goes well with rice.
"Creak—thump!" The dining table made a sound of being unable to bear the weight and collapsed to the ground.
"Mr. Natsume, this is the third set."
Joey came over and added another entry to Natsume's ledger.
Natsume didn't call Dragonite down; if it were useful, Nurse Joy wouldn't have remembered the third set.
Natsume looked at the Dragonite in front of him with mixed feelings.
Good news! He caught a Dragonite, and it's a very high level one at that.
The bad news is that the opponent's talent is one in a million, completely zero.
Even worse news is that this Dragonite's brain is not fully developed and remains at the infant stage.
It seems that all the super-giant energy in his body has been used to grow muscles.
Huge size + extremely low intelligence.
Natsume suddenly had a headache.
"Waaah~" Seeing that Natsume was a little sad, Dragonite reached out and patted him.
"Crack—" The chair under Natsume's bottom shattered, and Joey made another note of it.
"."
Fortunately, the child was kind.
"Pikachu—" The man with the middle parting woke up, patted Dragonite's head, said something, and the other moved away and walked off the broken table.
Seeing that Dragonite had sat down and was quietly eating his lunchbox, Natsume looked thoughtfully at the man with the middle part.
Through his observations over the past few days, he discovered that other Pokémon were very afraid of his Dragonite.
After all, the other party is too strong and difficult to control. Even if the intention is good, it often causes considerable harm to others.
This resulted in few Pokémon being willing to accept Dragonite from the start; even the usually enthusiastic Pikachu was defeated and became somewhat afraid of it.
Dragonite was also disappointed; he hadn't made a single friend in several days.
This situation continued until yesterday, when the person with the middle parting discovered a feng shui treasure spot on the top of the head of the fast-moving dragon, suitable for sleeping.
The current Dragon Balls are very effective against a mid-parted top.
As for Natsume, the trainer?
It's possible that the brain regions responsible for language haven't developed much, so the other person couldn't understand what kind of gibberish Natsume was saying.
Looking at the middle-parted hair covered with a small blanket on top of the head, Natsume fell into deep thought.
This is one of the ways to utilize waste materials, possibly related to a center-parted hairstyle.
"Alright, now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, let's go challenge the gym!"
After everyone finished eating, Xiao Zhi announced loudly.
Seeing this, Natsume put away the Dragonite that had finished eating and was sitting blankly to the side.
Above his head, the middle-parted hair, which he had been sleeping soundly, fell to the ground.
He got up in a daze, looked around, turned over, covered himself with the blanket, and went back to sleep.
"Oh dear, middle-parted hair, time to go!"
"Pikachu!"
Ash skillfully lifted his middle-parted hair, while Pikachu urged him on from the side.
"Wait a minute!" Natsume stopped Satoshi.
"What's wrong, Natsume-nii?" Satoshi stopped in his tracks.
"Give them these two things." As he spoke, Natsume took out two small golden beads, which, upon closer inspection, seemed to contain surging thunder.
"This is called a Light Ball. When Pikachu carries it, it can boost its Attack and Special Attack."
As Natsume spoke, he tossed two light bulbs to Satoshi.
"How do I wear this?" Xiao Zhi asked, somewhat bewildered, touching the round bead.
Should I get a necklace custom-made for Pikachu and put it on?
"The common ones can be swallowed, and besides that," Natsume said, staring at Pikachu's buttocks.
"Skin!"
Piece's chrysanthemum tightened, and he quickly shook his head, took a light bulb, and swallowed it.
"Hey, you eat too, Middle Part Hair." With that, Ash fed another Electric Ball to Middle Part Hair.
"Alright, good luck with your gym challenge!" Natsume clapped his hands, remaining seated in his original position.
"Huh? Natsume, aren't you going?" Tsuyoshi asked, puzzled.
"Ash, you can help me with the challenge, right? Prodigy needs to talk to me about something." Natsume waved to Ash and the others.
"What?! You can even take on challenges for others?" Xiaoxia was speechless.
"No problem, Natsume-nii, I've got this covered!"
"You actually agreed!"
"Huh? Anyway, the middle-part hairstyle is Natsume-san's Pokémon, so what's wrong with it?"
The group walked away noisily.
Natsume turned his head and looked at the proud child:
"You mean, your home is around here? Your father wants to see me?"
"Ah, that." Jiaozi suddenly blushed, and steam rose from her head.
Her gaze drifted aimlessly into the distance:
"Yes, my home is right here."
Seeing this, Natsume narrowed his eyes.
He now understands his assistant somewhat; most of the assistant's stress responses are triggered only when he is embarrassed or lying.
