Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 16 Natsume MS Bakugo
"Xiaozhi, I don't need to guess. You must have thrown Pikachu up there just now like a fool, right?"

In the stands, Misty came closer and looked at Xiaozhi with a reproachful look on her face.

"Ah? What's the problem?"

"Idiot, did you not hear what I said before? Electrical attacks are ineffective against ground-type attacks!"

Misty crossed her arms and yelled at Xiaozhi fiercely. She was very angry that Xiaozhi ignored her words.

"Hmph, just watch carefully. When Natsume goes to challenge, he will definitely not be as stupid as someone else and send Pikachu."

"Oh, I'll watch carefully."

Seeing that Xiaozhi's attitude became serious, Xiaoxia also withdrew her gaze and looked at Natsume on the battlefield below.

Although Natsume is not very reliable, he is still a Pokémon researcher and has some common sense.

"Go, Pikachu!"

"Pickup?"

Natsume's loud shout came from the audience.

Xiaoxia: "."

What kind of researcher is this!

"Oh? Pikachu again?"

Below, Xiao Gang looked at the yawning middle-parted man on the field and shook his head slightly in disappointment:

"You can't beat me, come on, Onix!"

"Roar!"

Following a low roar, a huge figure composed of countless dark rocks appeared on the field.

"Battle field, open!"

As Natsume shouted, an exciting battle music sounded.
At the same time, a stream of light automatically fell into Xiaogang's mind, introducing him to the rules of the battle field.

"what is that?"

In the stands, Ash and Misty were curious to see [LV.21] and [LV.30] appear on Pikachu and Onix's heads respectively.

"You're a Pokémon researcher, and you actually have such amazing research, that's incredible!"

After receiving the information in his mind, Xiaogang looked at Natsume with deep admiration in his eyes.

Ever since the last battle with Kojiro, Natsume and the system have suggested that they automatically explain the rules of battle to everyone he drags into the battle arena.

Although he didn't know how the system came up with the logic, Xiaogang seemed to think it was his invention.

"Your Onix is ​​also well trained."

That’s right, Xiaogang scratched his head, thinking that this was just Natsume’s courtesy. He was about to respond politely, but unexpectedly the other party began to praise him.

"The Onix you bred is a prime example of a rock-type snake. Judging from the rocks on its body, its main diet should be a high-purity silicate layer, supplemented with fayalite tempered from volcanic lava to activate the metal element precipitation gene in its body."

Xiaogang was startled, and his narrow eyes were filled with a hint of doubt.

Natsume continued to talk:
"The stone inside this rock snake has gradually formed a honeycomb-like buffer structure. Also, judging by the film on its body, you must have soaked it in water for two hours and then immediately exposed it to high temperatures, which has caused a water-resistant crystalline coating to form on its surface."

"how do you know?"

Xiaogang was surprised. What Natsume said was exactly right.

Natsume still didn't reply, but just said to himself:
"This Onix, even though it hasn't evolved, is still a beast of steel."

"Oh, really? It's not as good as you said. It's just according to..."

"Okay, Pikachu, use Grass Knot."

"Roar!"

After a scream, Onix fell to the ground unconscious.

Xiaogang: "???"

You praised me for so long, and then you let me down?

And what skill did Pikachu use just now?
Everything happened so fast. Onix fell to the ground, and the rules of the field were instantly lifted. Xiao Gang didn't even see it clearly. "Send out your other Pokémon."

Natsume turned and looked at Xiaogang.

"No, I give up."

Xiaogang smiled bitterly and shook his head. He originally wanted to experience the magic of this so-called battle system.

It turns out that the opponent's Pikachu actually has the skill to kill Onix instantly.

There was no need for his remaining two Geodudes to play.

"Wow, Natsume-san is amazing, he won in one go!"

In the stands, Xiaozhi seemed to be full of energy, as if he was the winner.

"Okay, since Natsume-san can win, I can't fall behind. I'm going to go for special training. Pikachu, let's go get stronger!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't you understand? My Pikachu has to use some weird, powerful move to win. Wait for me!"

Xiaoxia stomped her feet in anger, turned around and chased after him.

Below, Natsume noticed Satoshi's departure but did not stop him.

It's a good thing that the other party wants to become stronger. If everything goes as expected after leaving the Nibe City Gym, Xiaozhi will meet Wu Neng, and then the other party will take him to "recharge" Pikachu.

"This is your badge."

As Xiaogang spoke, he handed an octagonal, angular badge to Natsume.

"What do you want to ask me?"

Seeing that Xiaogang seemed to want to say something, Natsume simply took the initiative to ask.

"How did you know my breeding method? Also, what did your Pikachu just use?"

Xiaogang didn't ask Natsume what skills his Pikachu used first, but asked about the aspect he was most concerned about.

After all, his dream is to become a top Pokémon breeder.

"Oh, this."

Natsume casually fumbled around and took out a newspaper from somewhere and handed it to Xiaogang.

"Nibi City Pokémon Academy, 32nd term"

Xiaogang was stunned. He did cultivate it according to the instructions, but the method described there was not as detailed as what Natsume said casually.

"you"

Xiao Gang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xia Mu: "I know, look at it again."

Watch it again?
Xiaogang looked at the "Scientific Breeding Guide for Onix" published in the newspaper in his hand, written by Natsume.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Natsume."

When I came to my senses, Natsume had already walked away.

Xiaogang lowered his head and looked at the newspaper in his hand. Since the author asked him to read it once, he read it carefully.

1. Ecological habit adaptation direction
1. Habitat selection: Long-term residence in volcanic ash deposition areas is required.
2. Recipe setting
2. Special training system for combating blows
1. Physical defense enhancement: anti-shock training, allowing it to withstand the continuous punches of Rumble Rock.
2. Attribute resistance specialization: soak in heavy rain for 2 hours, then immediately put it into the rain.
3. Tactical Skill Development

4. Exploring Evolutionary Potential

10. Actual Combat Deployment Warning

Xiaogang watched it until the end and didn't realize what he had missed over the years.

Suddenly, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and noticed two lines of small print at the bottom of the newspaper:
(P.S.: This plan has passed the ethical review of the Nibi City Pokémon Academy. Side effects include, but are not limited to, being infuriated by walking grass until you explode.)
"So, that move is a grass-attribute skill?"

Xiaogang touched his chin, his narrowed eyes full of confusion.

Yes, that's right. The Onix cultivated in this way can be almost immune to water-attribute skills to a large extent, but there is also a side effect - it is more susceptible to grass-attribute moves.

But he was a little confused about what grass-type skills Pikachu had.
