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

Chapter 46: The Giant Dragonite

"Come back, Rotom."

Rotom returned to his phone, and Natsume left the lab.

Once outside, they noticed that everyone looked rather dejected.

Behind the group, a chubby purple creature that Natsume recognized was standing there scratching its head, looking completely bewildered.

Gengar, LV85.

A Gengar of such a high level? Where did it come from?

Natsume was also stunned for a moment.

He remembered that the only high-level Pokémon Zheng Hui had was a level 48 Blastoise.

"Zhenghui, what's going on?"

Natsume ignored Gengar, who seemed very friendly. When Natsume came out, Gengar silently floated onto his shadow.

"Sigh!" Zheng Hui sighed deeply before explaining:

"We contacted Professor Oak, but only Grandma Kikuko was available, but she lives too far away from us."

"Professor Oak discussed it with her and decided to use the Pokémon Teleportation Device to teleport Agatha Christie's main Pokémon over, so that at least they would have some fighting power."

"The result..." Zheng Hui's face showed a hint of anger:

"I don't know which bastard cut all my strings! I just teleported Gengar over, and now it's unusable!"

As he spoke, Zheng Hui's face showed a moment of distraction, and he muttered to himself:

"Oh no, what if that giant Pokémon gets angry and refuses to communicate with me?"

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm being lenient by not giving you a beating, and you still want to have a conversation?" Xiaoxia said from the side, trying to wake Zhenghui from his unrealistic fantasies.

Upon hearing this, fear of the unknown appeared on everyone's faces.

Brock, in particular, was deeply impressed by the Gigantamax Rotom he encountered last time.

Moreover, according to Zheng Hui's research, that giant Pokémon was of a very high level.

That would be even more terrifying.

"Hey everyone, don't be so pessimistic..." On the other side, Natsume had already become familiar with Granny Kikuko's Gengar and was feeding it.

"Look at this Gengar." With that, Natsume patted Gengar's head, and Gengar turned its head, its bright red head staring straight at Natsume.

"She's been trained exceptionally well, her level is extremely high, she should be Granny Kikuko's trump card."

As Natsume spoke, he put on a giant wristband.

"Isn't this thing useless?"

Xiaoxia looked at Natsume strangely, since Dr. Mulan had specifically instructed them on this matter that day.

"It looks good on."

"..."

"By the way, Gengar, where's your Poké Ball?"

Natsume turned his head and looked at Gengar.

"Gengar—" Gengar stuck out its long tongue, curling up a red and white ball in front of Natsume.

The master had told him to stay with the person who seemed the most reliable for the time being.

Gengar carefully observed the surroundings and concluded that the black sludge given to it by the person in front of it was the most delicious.

Natsume took Gengar's Poké Ball and connected it to his Max Band, seemingly doing something.

"By the way, Natsume-kun, have you successfully developed your Great Ball Rotom yet?" Ash suddenly asked.

"This one," Natsume said, and Rotom immediately understood and appeared before everyone in his newest form.

"It's a success!"

Masahiro looked even happier than Natsume.

"How have your Rotom's abilities changed? Can you stop that giant Pokémon?"

"No." Natsume shook his head.

Zheng Hui's hope was dashed once again.

"Hehe—" The chubby guy in purple laughed heartily from the side. He seemed to really enjoy the atmosphere when others were feeling down.

"Waaah—waaah~"

From the top of the lighthouse, a loud, long whistle, like that of a flute, began to sound.

"It's starting, let's go up."

Zhenghui rallied his spirits and adopted a look of resignation to his fate.

Soon, the group helped Zheng Hui carry many instruments to the top of the lighthouse.

After some adjustments, all the instruments that were brought up were now aimed at the fog-shrouded sea ahead.

Ash couldn't understand what these things were; he only knew that there were recordings inside. So he took out his Pokédex, turned on the camera, and pointed it at the ocean in front of him.

"Pikachu!"

A Pikachu appeared in the frame, then quickly disappeared, climbing up Ash's hand onto his shoulder.

"Ah, I really envy your Pokédex having this function." Xiaoxia leaned behind Xiaozhi and felt that the image quality of the other person was clearer than many professional cameras.

If her photo album had this function, she could take ten photos every day.

Beside her, Jiaozi also glanced at Ash's Pokédex, then turned to Natsume with starry eyes:

"Mr. Natsume, I want one too."

"The second book, 'How Researchers Survive in the Wilderness,' has a tutorial on how to do it manually on page 458."

Natsume sat cross-legged on Gengar's head, which was being lifted up, and said without turning its head.

He hadn't prepared anything; he simply stared motionlessly at the horizon.

Suddenly, the waves on the sea began to rise.

"Waaah—"

A faint response seemed to come from the other side of the sea.

"It's coming!"

Zheng Hui was filled with excitement, and everyone held their breath, not daring to breathe too loudly.

"It's coming!"

Inside a cave on a cliff, the three members of Team Rocket also looked excited.

"Hahaha, we've caught that giant Pokémon and are presenting it to Boss Giovanni!" Kojiro exclaimed excitedly.

"Yeah, then Team Rocket will have a monopoly on the Dynamax system in the Kanto region!" Jessie was already envisioning the future.

"Strange, Meow Meow, why aren't you saying anything?"

The two suddenly noticed that Meow Meow was trembling beside them.

"We...we'd better run, meow..."

"Why?" Kojiro and Musashi looked at Meow Meow with a puzzled expression.

"She said...she said she was going to kill us, meow...it's all that stupid researcher's fault, meow!" Meow started rambling incoherently.

"What?" "What are you talking about?"

Musashi and Kojiro's expressions became even stranger.

"This sounds just like Dragonite's language, meow!"

A giant Dragonite!?

Musashi and Kojiro felt a chill run down their spines.

If that's the case, then it seems they have no right to interfere.

"Can't we just follow those kids around and pick up the scraps?"

Kojiro made the suggestion, but to his surprise, Meow Meow covered its head, its expression becoming increasingly terrified.

"She also said she wanted to destroy everything she could see, meow!!!"

"Oh—meow meow, you understood something, didn't you?"

Kojiro suddenly realized.

"Well, we can't just secretly take a picture or something, can we?" Musashi didn't want to give up.

"No, meow, it's this idiot lighthouse researcher, meow!!"

What is the connection between this and the Lighthouse researchers?

Musashi and Kojiro were even more confused.

Before they could explain, a white beam of light struck the sea in front of Miaomiao and the others.

"boom!"

A massive destructive ray of light came from the other side of the mist, striking the sea surface and creating towering waves.

The cave was submerged by seawater, and the trio were swept away by the giant waves and sent flying into the air.

"That is?"

Natsume's eyes lit up, and he patted the chubby purple boy beneath him:

"Gengar, help me save my Meowth."

Gengar nodded, a faint blue light flickering in its crimson eyes.

In the sky, Meow Meow thought that being knocked away like this wasn't so bad.

But soon, he found himself getting closer and closer to the ground, and heading towards the lighthouse.

Meow Meow glanced fearfully into the mist.

"No, meow!"

Meow Meow fell into Natsume's hands and was held by the scruff of its neck.

"It's you, meow meow."

Natsume shook his head slightly, thinking it was some kind of cat that could fly.

However, Team Rocket's Meowth is quite special, for example, it is fluent in almost all Pokémon languages.
