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

Chapter 2: Natsume-kun, where did you get that brick?

An ordinary Pikachu is like a stray dog ​​on the roadside, but Ash's Pikachu is called Pikachu God.

Why?

A deep question lingered in Natsume's mind.

Despite Pikachu's special status and the numerous opportunities he had to be close to Professor Oak at his lab, Natsume had absolutely no interest in Ash's Pikachu.

Ah, because he checked it using the Individual Values ​​(IVs) app on Rotom on his phone, and Pikachu's current IVs are all quite average.

This proves that Pikachu was just an ordinary Pikachu at the beginning.

Ash made Pikachu, not the other way around.

So what Natsume needs to figure out is how Ash made Pikachu.

On the path in the Tokiwa Forest, Natsume sorted out his thoughts and nodded in deep agreement.

"Natsume-nii, have some decency!"

Ahead, came Ash's labored voice.

Natsume looked ahead and saw Ash struggling to pull Pikachu along.

Pikachu is currently going through a rebellious phase; it not only refuses to enter its Poké Ball but also refuses to obey Ash's commands.

Natsume said that a few Fiery Sparrows would cure this symptom.

With no other option, Ash had to wear insulated gloves, "tie" Pikachu to him, and they had to pull and tug at each other as they moved forward.

However, unlike in the anime, Ash is now holding two ropes, pulling two Pokémon.

The one on the left is Pikachu, and the one on the right is also Pikachu.

The other Pikachu was obtained by Natsume from Professor Oak.

Every research project needs a control group.

To distinguish it, Natsume styled her Pikachu's hair into a middle part.

"Pikachu?"

The Pikachu with its middle-parted hair tilted its head and looked at Natsume with a blank expression.

It didn't understand why its owner wanted it to be dragged along by this human.

But the master must have had a deeper meaning in doing this.

The guy with the middle parting thought it was right and followed Pikachu's example, sitting down as well and letting Ash drag him along.

"Ah! Natsume-nii, look at him, look at him!"

Ash pointed at the middle-parted hair, looking at Natsume with a face full of despair, his eyes seeming to say:

"If you don't take it back, it'll be corrupted by my Pikachu."

Unexpectedly, Natsume completely ignored him, instead focusing intently on a patch of grass in front of him.

Xiao Zhi, filled with curiosity, stopped and looked over as well.

The grass rustled, and a Pokémon jumped out.

"It's a Pokémon!"

Ash's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out his Pokédex.

[Spearow, a small bird Pokémon, unlike Pidgey, has a very bad temper...]

"Great! It's a Spearow!"

Ash's eyes gleamed as he looked at Spearow, his heart brimming with fighting spirit.

Natsume watched in amazement as Satoshi instantly got into the zone.

He truly deserves to be called a future battle maniac.

Looking at the Spearow, Natsume's feelings were completely different from Ash's.

This fiery sparrow...

Natsume narrowed his eyes slightly.

The current Pikachu is extremely rebellious and refuses to listen to anyone, so it is naturally impossible for it to cooperate with Natsume in conducting relevant research and testing.

Natsume prepares to advance the original storyline with the Spearow attack, hoping to ease the tension between Ash and Pikachu.

Thinking of this, Natsume walked towards Satoshi.

At this moment, Ash's desire to battle was ignited, but it quickly died down.

His Pikachu simply wouldn't listen to him.

"No, I absolutely have to catch my first Pokémon!"

While thinking about it, Ash pulled out his pajamas from his backpack, preparing to sneak over and catch Spearow.

"Clatter!"

Suddenly, a pair of large hands pressed down on Xiao Zhi.

It was Natsume. Under Ash's puzzled gaze, Natsume handed him a small pebble.

If Natsume remembers correctly, in the original story, Ash threw a small pebble, which angered the Spearow and attracted an attack from the entire Spearow clan.

Finally, in a life-or-death situation, he stepped forward to protect Pikachu, and their relationship quickly warmed up.

Ash stared in disbelief at the "pebbles" that Natsume handed him.

"Natsume-nii, where did you get that brick?"

"Ahem, when you're out and about... anyway, the stronger you are, the more likely you are to knock it unconscious and capture it!"

Natsume coughed twice, a persuasive expression appearing on his fair face.

"Yeah!"

Ash's eyes lit up. He took the brick from Natsume's hand and threw it at Spearow like a Poké Ball.

Although Ash's movements were incredibly clumsy, as if by fate, the brick landed on Spearow's head.

"Bang!"

A huge bulge appeared on the top of the Fiery Sparrow's head.

"Yay! Hit!"

Ash jumped up with joy.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

The Spearow didn't fall down; instead, tears welled up in its eyes, and it turned its head to glare fiercely at Ash.

For some reason, Xiaozhi had a bad feeling.

"Gah—"

The peacock looked up and let out a sharp, long cry.

"Splash!"

In an instant, dozens of dark figures fell from the sky like rain.

They were all Spearow, each staring fiercely at Ash.

Xiao Zhi swallowed hard, seemingly frightened, and spoke in a trembling voice:

"Natsume-nii, I smashed it, but... then what?"

Ash turned around, but Natsume was nowhere to be seen.

Looking down, Ash realized that even on the rope in his hand, only a Pikachu remained, staring at him with a lifeless expression.

Looking back, Natsume had already run off into the distance.

"Nigeludayo—"

In the distance, the sound of Natsume running away could be heard, and Ash froze on the spot.

At that moment, he seemed to understand why everyone had asked him to help take care of Natsume.

"Natsume-nii, you ungrateful bastard... ah—"

......

......

Behind him, a dark, dense flock of Spearows engulfed Ash.

Seeing this, Natsume stopped.

It's not that he's disloyal, it's just that he doesn't have Ash's superhuman abilities.

Ash was ganged up on by Spearow, but he was completely unharmed.

Even after he's done, he can still pedal his bicycle at lightning speed to take Pikachu to the Pokémon Center.

He, Natsume, didn't have that kind of superhuman physique. If he hadn't run away beforehand, he would have been badly injured, if not killed.

"You fool, I'm doing this for your own good."

Natsume took off his hat, placed it in front of his chest, and silently mourned for Satoshi for three seconds.

Immediately, Natsume turned around and headed towards the Pokémon Center, intending to wait for Ash there.

As he hurried along, Natsume took out his Rotom phone.

"Tom!"

"Rotom, locate the nearest Pokémon Center."

"Tom!"

Rotom responded twice and quickly drew up a roadmap.

Natsume glanced at it twice, then nodded in satisfaction.

This Rotom phone was a gift from the system's new user package, and I must say, it's incredibly convenient.

Rotom, an Electric/Ghost type Plasma Pokémon, can infiltrate various electrical appliances.

Although in the game, Rotom only has five combined forms: lawnmower, washing machine, microwave oven, electric fan, and refrigerator.

But games are games, what does that have to do with reality?

In reality, Natsume completed many research projects released by the system by developing Rotom.

They even received a large sum of patent fees related to the project.

What kind of Rotom is this? Air conditioner Rotom, motorcycle Rotom, electric toy Rotom...

He has developed all of them.

As he walked, Natsume was thinking to himself that when he got to the Pokémon Center, he would take a bath, change his clothes, burn incense, and open all ten scratch-off lottery tickets he had saved up over the years!

Suddenly, as if he had seen something, Natsume stopped in his tracks.

Not far away, a girl dressed in a familiar style walked slowly towards them, pushing a bicycle.

"Excuse me, how do I get to the Pokémon Center around here?"

The girl called out to Natsume.

Natsume raised an eyebrow as he watched Kasumi push her bicycle toward him.

By the way, is Xiaoxia's Psyduck considered a special species among ordinary populations?
