Chapter 124 Self-examination

Somewhere in the jungle outside Saffron City.

With the surge of blue Psychic.

A person with three Pokémon suddenly appeared here, startling the Wild Pokémon who was active next to him.

But they quickly reacted, and the more daring Spearows attacked first.

Only, before they could touch the very fragile looking human, a Beedrill quickly folded several times in the air, smacking them down one by one.

Appearing here is naturally Natsu and his three Pokémon.

Somewhat unexpectedly looked at the surrounding environment and gained a general understanding of where he was at this time.

"So, is the underground Tunnel where you were just now really leading to Saffron City?" Natsu murmured in a low voice.

Here he remembered, it was halfway from Saffron City to the dark ruins.

Abra apparently couldn't use the Teleport to bring them back to the ruins, but made it through the thick Ground to the point where the nearest Psychic "anchor" was.

This result further confirms what Little Monk Anci said, that the underground Tunnel is connected to the underground of Saffron City.

Stay silently and let Beedrill defeat the nearby Wild Pokémon who are trying to get close.

"Just yay!"

Togepi turned, staring all around.

This is the outside world? Is this the sun?

It seems to come to a brand new world, where it is fun.

Cautiously approaching a bush, plucked a Leafage, hesitated a little and put it in his mouth.

The green, sweet and bitter taste not only did not make it annoying, but instead narrowed his eyes happily.

This is what the food tastes like outside.

It was delicious!

Abra stopped him when he wanted to continue picking a piece to taste.

"Ke so."

There are better food when we go back.

Abra didn't hold any grudges, and didn't take Togepi's naughty seriously, but instead showed a senior attitude.

Although it is younger than Togepi.

"Just Kee" Togepi nods his head again and again.

Exactly!

It also misses the previous Pokéblock that Beedrill distributed it.

"Ke So."

Then you lost the Onion Stick on your shoulder, it's so bad.

But Togepi was holding onto the Onion Stick tightly and was unwilling to let go.

Soon.

Beedrill finished cleaning the nearby Pokémon and returned to Natsu again.

"Let's go, go back."

As he walked, he took out his cell phone and dialed Steven's number.

After a long wait, when Natsu was about to give up, the call finally connected.

"Natsu?" Steven asked hesitantly on the other end of the phone.

"It's me." Natsu said indifferently.

"Very good, you are still alive!"

There was a long exhalation sound, and some subtle movements stopped.

"Alive?"

Shirona's cold voice came over the phone.

"Where are you? We'll pick you up," Steven added.

Natsu looked at the four tables, paused for a while and said, "No, for some special reason, I'm very close to Saffron City."

"Saffron City?"

"Some things can't be explained at once. Come back, I'll go back first, take a break, and meet again after the Elite exhibition game."

".Okay."

Hang up the phone after continuing to ask some questions.

Put away the phone, Natsu lifts the head, looked at the sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves, and put out a long breath.

Although Steven and Shirona were still looking for him, Natsu was a little touched.

But through this exploration, he also understood one thing.

The gap between him and Steven and Shirona is still too big, the same collapse, the two of them are not in trouble, but they need Abra to spend all Psychic, and Beedrill can barely get rescue after being injured.

I thought I would go out with Steven and Shirona, don't worry about safety, there are enough guarantees.

It turns out that when faced with a huge threat, the only ones who can save and protect themselves are themselves and their Pokémon.

Now he and them are people from two worlds.

This is true regardless of its own strength, identity or resources.

He needs to make a dangerous attempt for a Dusk Stone, and the two of them might just need a phone call to get what they want.

"It's still too weak" Natsu silentlyshook the head.

"Kee-"

"Chakko–"

As if feeling Natsu's heavy heart, Abra gently pulled Natsu clothes.

Togepi even came to Natsu, sticking out his tongue and making a face.

Seeing their appearance, Natsu's heavy expression instantly subsided, and a smile appeared.

"Don't worry, I'm not complaining, I'm just stating a fact at the moment."

It's just a fact, and nothing to accept.

Acknowledging your own inadequacies can help you find the direction of progress better and more accurately.

Beedrill silently followed behind him without saying a word.

Among the three Pokémons, Beedrill knows Natsu the most and has been with him the longest. He knows that with Natsu's character, he will never have no desire to improve, and more likely feels pressure.

But pressure, you can always overcome it if you overcome it.

Isn't that how they came here before?

Now they at least have a lot more than before.

Played with Abra and Togepi for a while, Natsu put them away.

Looking back at Beedrill.

The tacit understanding of one person and one Pokémon doesn't need to say much, they laughed each other and moved towards Saffron City.

This harvest is quite fruitful.

Back to Saffron City.

Perhaps because of the negative reaction to the actions of the rangers in the past, or because there was no clue at all, Natsu wasn't checked on the Poké Ball this time.

He originally wanted to use Abra's Teleport to quietly go back.

But he take a taxi to get home.

Along the way, you can see that Saffron City, which has been somewhat depressed, has become lively again.

Vermilion on the road was cleaned up, and there were more pedestrians, with a smile of seems true seems false on their faces.

From the posters on the street, I have seen the promotion and advertisement of the Elite exhibition game many times.

It's getting closer and closer to the exhibition match of two of today's Kanto Region Elite Four, ice attribute Elite Pryce and Ghost Type Elite Agatha.

It should have been a good thing.

But with Natsu's understanding of the underground Tunnel, there is a haze on his cognition of this matter.

I always felt that the Elite exhibition game was just a cover, just to cover up something that might cause panic.

"There are still a few days, not too long, but I should prepare some more things."

Sit at the table and turn on the computer, ready to create a new breed document about Togepi, and to Beedrill's breed and Abra's breed make some minor changes based on this event.

"There is a lot to learn, Beedrill's 'Drilling' and 'Knock Off' moves have to be trained, Abra is mainly training Mental Force, Togepi is now more of a support Character"

"Beedrill is a senior-level strength, and it is not very hopeful that there will be significant progress in a short period of time. It is mainly based on basic mastery."

"Abra has just been born, but I already have the strength of the qualified level, and I should be able to reach the excellent level in a short period of time."

"Togepi is the excellent level close to the senior level, but its foundation is relatively poor. If you want to step beyond this step, you need to accumulate , can't be in a hurry."

"I also have a lot to prepare, and the production of Pokéblock can already be put on the schedule, but a set of basic equipment is needed, which can be purchased in this normal store."

"I need to strike while the iron is still hot to prepare for the next one before the popularity of the previous dissertation has gone down. I will try to get a real bachelor's degree after three dissertations, or at least have a proper title."

"Dusk Stone can be left alone for the time being. Its purpose is too large and it is easy to attract unnecessary attention. The rest can be sold in exchange for some suitable resources or cheats."

"."

I haven't waited for him to write much.

There was a knock on the door.

"Keah." Abra, who was sitting on the ground, shouted as he moved towards Natsu.

Is that the Gastly again?

Although it's good to have someone bring a pillow when I want to rest, it's really not good to feel like being stared at.

Natsu moved towards Abrap nod.

A letter slipped in through the crack of the door.
