Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 86: Rainbow City Gym (200 monthly tickets plus more)

After cutting off the communication, Natsume walked out of the Pokémon Center.

Rainbow City is too big, and land in the central area is very expensive.

Even the Pokémon Center, an official alliance building that would occupy the central area in other cities, made concessions this time.

Natsume opened the map and found that he was in the third ring of Rainbow City.

Go further out and you will reach the suburbs.

Fortunately, big cities have convenient transportation and are well connected. Even if the Pokémon Center is located in a remote area, it is still convenient to get around.

Soon, Natsume walked out of the subway exit and arrived at the Rainbow City Gym.

"Hmm, this gym is surprisingly wealthy for such a large size."

The Rainbow Gym is a building with a huge transparent dome that resembles an ecological museum.

The gym covers a large area, and you can vaguely see a large area of ​​forest mimicry inside, where many grass-type Pokémon live.

The most important thing is that although this place is not the central area of ​​Rainbow City, it is within the first ring road no matter how you look for it.

"Oh, it would be nice if I could beat the gym owner and get some pocket money, just like in the game."

Natsume tossed the advanced ball in his hand and walked towards the huge gym.

There is a long staircase under the gym, which occupies a considerable area in this valuable location.

Many people were coming and going on the stairs.

Natsume noticed that most of the people here were adults with children, and it was obvious that they were not here to challenge the gym.

'Chlorophyll heartbeat, photosynthesis smiles'

Natsume stared at the sign outside the gym, stunned for a moment.

Looking up, he realized that the gym did not have a plaque with the name of a certain gym hanging on it like the gyms in other cities.

"Urban oasis?"

Natsume read out the gilded words on the Rainbow City Gym word by word.

"Sir, would you like to bring your children to the Urban Oasis Ecology Museum? Nature is the best educator!"

A uniformed employee walked towards Natsume and enthusiastically promoted his product.

"No need, I'm here to challenge the gym." Natsume waved his hand.

He remembered that the last time he came to Rainbow City, about two years ago, there was no such side job here.

"Oh, I see. This way please!"

The staff led Natsume into the room and pointed to a passage.

Natsume nodded and walked into the passage.

As soon as he entered, he saw Xiaozhi walking out dejectedly.

"Xiaozhi?" Natsume waved his hand.

"Brother Natsume! You have to make the decision for me!" Xiaozhi suddenly hugged Natsume's thigh.

"What's wrong?" Natsume lowered his head and looked at him strangely.

"The leader of this gym has blocked me and won't accept my challenge!" Xiaozhi's eyes were filled with tears.

"Why did I block you?" Natsume's face looked even weirder.

"The gym leader of Rainbow City, she...she's Natsume-san, the owner of the perfume shop. You might not know—hmm."

Natsume covered Xiaozhi's mouth.

"I see." Natsume touched his chin, thinking.

This gym has quite a lot of side businesses, no wonder they were able to buy such a large piece of land here.

"Brother Natsume, what should I do now?" Xiaozhi squatted on the ground dejectedly.

"Where are Pikachu and the middle-parted hair?" Natsume discovered that Pikachu and his middle-parted hair were not following Satoshi.

"Oh, Pikachu and Misty are touring inside, with their hair parted in the middle and sleeping on the solar lamp."

"Where to sleep?" Natsume was stunned.

"Bang!" There was a sound of glass breaking from the other end of the passage.

Before the two could react, the door at the end of the passage opened, and a Pikachu with a middle-parted hair was thrown out along with its small quilt.

“Pickup truck?”

The man with the middle-parted hair got up in confusion, rubbed his eyes, yawned, and then lay down again, covering his belly. Small bubbles began to appear at the tip of his nose.

Natsume held his forehead with his hand. Ever since the middle-parted hair merged with the fragment of the priesthood, he had become more and more sleepy.

Xiaozhi stepped forward, picked up the middle-parted girl, and looked at Natsume with a pitiful face: "Natsume brother, what should I do without the rainbow badge?"

"Here, here you go, the rainbow badge."

Natsume said as he handed a colorful badge shaped like a flower petal to Satoshi.

"Hey, Natsume-san, where are you from?" Xiaozhi exclaimed.

"It's fake, where else could it come from?" Natsume said, taking out a black bag from somewhere.

When the bag was opened, it was filled with all kinds of fake badges that looked very realistic.

Xiaozhi: "."

"Natsume-san, why do you carry so many fake things?"

"When you're out in the world, you give yourself an identity," Natsume repeated.

"No, no, I have to defeat the opponent and get the badge based on my strength!" Xiaozhi shook his head, a hint of determination in his eyes.

"In that case, let's break in!" Natsume said, changing into the Rocket Team cadre uniform and handing a smaller Rocket Team member uniform to Satoshi.

"???"

"I'll probably be blocked permanently if I do this." Xiaozhi was speechless, feeling more and more unreliable.

"Bang!" The door opened again and three figures were thrown out again.

"Gentlemen, without a special invitation, please buy a ticket to come in!"

"Damn it, meow!" Meow Meow stood up angrily, then stood there in a daze.

"It's all your fault, Musashi. Who told you to let it slip?"

"It's you, Kojiro. You just went in and stole directly." Musashi suddenly shut his mouth.

"Natsume, and little brat, why are you here?"

Three eyes looked at Xiaozhi and Natsume at the same time.

"Wait a minute, how do you have this dress!"

When they saw what Natsume was wearing, the three of them reacted greatly.

"I found it at the game hall." Natsume made up a lie.

"Game hall?" The trio was stunned, and then a light flashed in their eyes.

"Meow, did you hear that?" Meow Meow hurriedly pulled the two closer.

"I heard it, I heard it, the cadres' uniforms in the game room."

"Who knows, that unknown idiot cadre that Boss Sakaki and the entire organization are looking for might be the one in the game hall, meow!"

"Yes, yes, this place is very close to Jinhuang City. It must have been left behind when they fled in a panic!" Musashi's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he analyzed seriously.

"Also, I heard that the highest jackpot that no one has ever won in the arcade - Dragonite, is actually the Pokémon of that cadre." Kojiro added.

"It's right, meow. It's totally right, meow!"

"But the perfume here..." Musashi's eyes showed a hint of hesitation.

"Hey, who cares about perfume, meow!"

"If we can find that bad apple in Team Rocket, Boss Sakaki will surely be very impressed with us, meow!"

"Get promoted, get a higher rank, and wear your cadre uniform, meow!"

"Okay, let's go right away!"

Afraid that someone else would steal the credit, Kojiro immediately grabbed the two of them and ran out.

"Natsume, don't tell anyone that you found those clothes, meow."

"Just say it's a knockoff, please, meow!"

When passing by Natsume, Meow Meow did not forget to ask him to keep it a secret.

"What are they doing?"

Looking at the three members of Team Rocket who suddenly rushed away, Xiaozhi tilted his head in confusion.

Natsume shook his head. He only knew that Team Rocket's base was in a game hall in Rainbow City.

But he couldn't understand why the trio suddenly became excited.

"I don't know, but I have a good idea. Maybe it can help you get in, Xiaozhi."

Natsume lowered his head and looked at Xiaozhi.
