Pokémon: Who told him to come out of Pallet Town!

Chapter 56 The Saint Anne

Chapter 57 The Saint Anne

The Fallen Leaf Dojo.

"hateful!"

The dojo master, Ma Zhishi, slammed his fist into the ground, looking as if his resolve had been shattered.

"That Pikachu, how could it possibly be stronger than Raichu's Thunderbolt!"

In Lt. Surge's mind, there was an image of a boy with Pikachu perched on his shoulder.

As Raichu, the Gym Leader of the Electric City, he actually lost to a boy who had a Pikachu with him.

"It's not just Thunderbolt, the opponent's Iron Tail is also acting strangely, boss."

"Sigh, if I had known the boss would lose, I wouldn't have gone through the taunting process. Now the boss is so embarrassed."

The underling who was speaking was glared at sharply by Ma Zhishi.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Damn it." Mt. Surge clenched his fists.

"I need to vent, I'm going to open the door!"

Soon, Ash was standing in front of him again.

This time, however, he took off his hat and put on an ill-fitting white coat, and the Pikachu on his shoulder was now parted in the middle.

Lt. Surge: "???"

"I am the challenger Natsume, come and duel with me!" Ash pinched the back of the neck of the man with the middle parting.

"You son of a bitch, do you think I'm stupid?" Ma Xueshi's face turned red as he cursed loudly.

"I told you this won't work, Satoshi." Misty followed in, a gloating expression on her face.

"Why don't we wait here for Natsume to come?" Kogoro suggested.

"Oh dear, Xiao Gang, if you were to impersonate Natsume with your height, you definitely wouldn't be exposed." Xiao Zhi said with some disappointment.

Xiao Gang: "."

This is not a matter of height.

"Hey, your Pikachu is really strong, how about we have another round!"

"That's right," Lt. Surge looked at Ash with high spirits.

"Sigh, let's just go find Natsume-nii." Ash waved his hand, refusing him.

M.S.: "."

He was furious, but couldn't say anything, since the other party had defeated him in his area of ​​expertise.

"No need, I'm here!" Natsume's voice came from outside the dojo.

Under Ma Zhishi's cannibalistic gaze, a fair-skinned young man appeared at the entrance of the dojo.

"Alright, so you're the Natsume they've been talking about, right? I'd like to see what makes you so special!"

Maslow glared at Natsume through gritted teeth.

"Xiao Gang, can I borrow your Onix?"

"Ugh!"

Before Xiaogang could react, Natsume threw the Onix up.

"Roar—" The king, completely immune to electricity, has arrived!

M.S.: "."

Why is everything so awful today?!

Seeing this, Natsume shook his head.

What Lt. Surge didn't know was that if Natsume didn't send out Onix, the lightning rod-like hair on his head would make him even more upset.

Not to mention the other Pokémon that Natsume possesses.

As expected, Ma Xueshi was defeated after a few rounds.

He braced himself on the ground with both hands, looking as if he were questioning the meaning of life.

"Boss, we knew you were going to lose, so we didn't mock you this time!" The underling came over, as if to take credit.

Maslow glared at the other person again, who turned around with a wronged look on his face and went to get the badge for Natsume.

On the other side, Natsume examined the badge in his hand—an orange badge.

From now on, he has three badges and will soon be halfway there.

"This guy's skills are so unconventional! He was even mocking my Pikachu earlier," Ash said, as the group left the Vermilion City Gym.

It was already evening when we got back to the Pokémon Center.

"I really want to go to the St. Anne!" Xiaoxia cupped her cheeks, her eyes shining as she looked at the poster hanging in the Pokémon Center.

"Hey, hey, hey, is she alright? She's been like this ever since she finished eating."

Xiao Zhi pointed at Xiao Xia, not understanding what was so interesting about the St. Anne.

It's just a ship, isn't it?

"I heard there will be a trainer banquet on the St. Anne this year, and many skilled trainers will be there."

"A skilled trainer!" Ash's eyes lit up.

Now, another figure, filled with longing gazes, can be seen beneath the poster.

"Look at me, everyone."

Suddenly, the top student spoke up, waving several exquisite ship tickets in her hand as she spoke.

"Could it be..."

"Could it be..."

Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi's eyes lit up, and they teleported to the front of the top student.

"My dad came to visit, and the organizers gave him a lot of boat tickets."

As he spoke, Jiaozi began distributing boat tickets to everyone.

"Thank you!" the three said in unison.

In the end, Jiaozi only had one card left in his hand.

"Oh dear, Mr. Natsume, we only have one ticket left for two people."

"What kind of ticket?" Natsume, who was engrossed in fiddling with the high-performance ball, looked up.

He looked at the top student, who guiltily looked away, and smoke began to rise from his head.

"The Saint Anne." Natsume suddenly realized, and then pulled out a handful of tickets from his pocket.

I have a lot of this.

"Huh?" Ash and the others were dumbfounded.

"These are all real!" Xiaoxia checked them carefully and found that all of the dozen or so tickets were genuine.

Moreover, judging from the release time, Natsume was available immediately.

"Natsume-nii, how did you do that?!" Ash exclaimed with admiration.

Natsume scratched his head.

Hmm. Ryujiro sent over several sets of family butler's uniforms, which he found in the pockets of the clothes.

Not long ago, Ryujiro even contacted him specifically to give him some instructions.

He said he donated some money to the Rockets, and Sakaki specially prepared a "villain show" for Kojiro.

Besides asking Natsume to take good care of Kojiro, the 5 billion yen was mostly for appearance fees in this villain's show.

Ryujiro told him the general plan.

The "Villain Show" was held on the St. Anne under the name Sakaki, and most of the people on board were actually shills.

At that time, Giovanni will issue a mission to Team Rocket to steal all the Pokémon from everyone on the San Anne.

This was because Ryujiro learned that Kojiro had not been doing well recently, and he took it upon himself to believe that his son's confidence had been shaken, his future was bleak, and he was about to perish.

Especially after Natsume showed him a few pictures of Kojiro dressed as a woman that he had taken on the street, Ryujiro's idea became even more solidified.

Then he donated to Sakaki, asking him to find a way to help Kojiro "regain his confidence".

Natsume carefully put away the high-grade ball, after all, he felt obligated to accept a gift.

He should think about this carefully now.

What role should I play in successfully helping Kojiro "regain his confidence"?

With a 5 billion yen appearance fee, Natsume has to let Kojiro experience what it's like to be a protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel.

Beside him, the top student lowered his head in disappointment.

Damn it, she specifically bought all the recent ferry tickets, but Natsume's ticket is for the first day!

Could it be that Dad gave it to Natsume?

The top student was slightly taken aback. It seemed that only someone of his father's caliber could be given a boat ticket by the organizers on the first day.

"Damn it." The top student stormed to a corner and contacted Fuji.

That evening, Fuji was basking in his success, dreaming of a bright future.

Immediately afterwards, he received a call from his beloved daughter, which made him even happier.

After all, it was his daughter who got him involved with Natsume.

Then, Fuji, completely bewildered, was scolded by his daughter.
