Chapter 72 The Problem with the Great Dragonite
Chapter 73 The Problem with the Great Dragonite
Ash and his friends went to train Butterfree, while Natsume, with his prodigy, designed a Rotom Fusion Circuit for a high-level Pokémon at the Ecological Outpost.
Starting with advanced balls, the difficulty increases significantly.
A tiny Poké Ball, yet inside lies a whole space.
Moreover, this space is connected to research institutes in various locations.
The original circuit design of the Advanced Ball is already complex. Natsume is capable of extending it to create a circuit suitable for Rotom fusion and implanting it into the core.
However, the circuit performance would not be ideal in that case.
Unless a specialized research institute has a deconstruction machine to completely flatten and manipulate the internal structure of the advanced sphere, it will be impossible to achieve this.
Otherwise, one can only follow the blueprints downloaded online and, like the first scientist in history to create an advanced ball, manipulate it by hand.
Clearly, Natsume's hand wasn't steady enough.
The higher the level of the Poké Ball, the more stable its internal space. It is extremely difficult to implant your own things into it without reducing its performance.
It's unimaginable how that old doctor could create the first advanced sphere in such a backward era, eight hundred years ago.
Natsume shook his head slightly. Perhaps modern researchers' hands have been spoiled by all sorts of convenient and easy-to-use precision instruments?
However, Natsume had to admit that these sophisticated instruments could lower the entry barrier for researchers and had a huge impact on the advancement of science and technology.
After all, several hundred years ago, to become a researcher, you needed a well-trained Psychic-type Pokémon with psychic abilities to assist you.
"Bang!" A loud noise came from the sky.
When the prodigy looked up, he saw it was Team Rocket, who were using huge nets to capture paired Butterfree.
"Mr. Natsume!" Jiaozi exclaimed, looking up at the sky.
"Your job is to take it honestly." Natsume glared at her.
"Oh," Jiaozi lowered his head, no longer paying attention to what was happening in the sky.
At this moment, she was holding a high-end ball in her two palms.
Natsume felt he had reached a bottleneck, so he asked Jiaozi to come over and act as a human-shaped display stand.
This way, he won't need to hold the advanced ball in one hand and operate it with the other.
Natsume can now use both hands, doubling the level of detail!
"Bang!" The high-grade ball made a slight sound and cracked from the center. Natsume was defeated.
"It seems we failed, Mr. Natsume." Jiaozi looked at Natsume with a reassuring expression.
"Forget it, let's try to find a laboratory in a future city." Natsume picked up the broken high-grade ball.
How to put it... human fingers are still not dexterous enough when faced with some sophisticated instruments.
I wish I could be like Mud, with my hands able to deform as easily as a liquid.
As Natsume pondered, his thoughts began to wander off course again.
"Teacher!" Jiaozi reached out and waved his hand in front of Natsume.
"It seems the Rockets have captured all of Butterfly's. Should we go and check on them?"
Jiaozi said with some worry.
"It's alright, Ash and the others will handle it." Natsume stretched and then looked at Gastly and Dragonite not far away.
"Woo~ woo—" The giant dragon seemed very happy, frantically slashing its claws in front of it.
Its claws gleamed, clearly indicating that it had used the Dragon Claw skill.
The Gastly dared not take the attack head-on, and could only dodge in the air—so the Dragonite swung its arms even faster.
"Stop, stop! Why can't it understand human speech?!" Gastly turned around and shouted at Natsume.
"Oh, you'll have to use telepathy," Natsume reminded him.
Gastly did as instructed, and the giant dragon stopped moving, turning its head to look at Gastly, its fierce face covered in blood and sweat.
How come this silly Gastly can suddenly talk?
"I usually only use telepathy when communicating with humans, like right now." Gastly retreated behind Natsume, looking somewhat shaken.
"How is it? How well does Dragonite control its own power?" Natsume asked.
"In your human terms, it's like a three-year-old child holding a gun." Gastly nodded.
Based on its recent experience, it felt that its analogy was incredibly apt.
"Then you'll have to teach it how to fire it from now on." Natsume smiled and patted the other person, handing over a small white box.
The box was opened, and it was full of spicy paste.
Gastly quickly put it away, its face still showing embarrassment:
"This is a life-threatening job!"
Two boxes a month.
"make a deal!"
"If you teach me well, I'll get you a membership card with unlimited spicy minced meat!"
"Hiss—ha!"
Gastly carefully put away the two boxes of spicy stuff, then transformed into a butler's uniform.
"Dragonite, don't be lazy, come and hit me!"
Natsume yawned as he watched the two Pokémon frolicking together.
Well, before Natsume can modify Dragonite to extend its life, he must find a way to increase its strength.
Especially when it comes to controlling his strength, he doesn't want to be kicked away by a Dragonite on the operating table.
These concerns stemmed from one of the few pieces of good news Natsume discovered about Dragonite—
Perhaps due to the torment of long-term illness, the other party is now almost insensitive to pain, and may even be in various states such as numbness, poisoning, and burns. It's as if the Great Dragonite is not hit at all.
Therefore, anesthetics and the like are completely useless against this giant Dragonite.
In addition to its low intelligence, once it gets stressed, it will still flap its large sinuses as usual, which even Gastly would agree with.
As dusk fell, Natsume recalled Gastly and Dragonite into their Poké Balls.
"Let's go, Ash and the others should be back soon. We can go and see the Butterfree migration."
As Natsume spoke, he walked towards the sea, with Jiaozi following closely behind.
As the sun sets, the sea ripples with golden-red waves, and thousands of giant butterflies flutter their wings as they skim over the crests of the waves.
The sound of flapping wings mingled with the soft rustling of the sea breeze.
"Hmm~ There's a bitter, salty smell in the wind." Natsume stood next to Satoshi.
"Do you regret it, Ash?" Natsume turned to look at Ash.
"This is Butterfree's own choice, and as its trainer, I must respect it."
Ash looked up at the swarm of butterflies in the distance, where there were pairs of Butterfree, one of which was even shiny.
Suddenly, Ash's Butterfree turned around and waved at them from afar.
"Sigh, I don't know when we'll meet again." Xiaoxia waved her hand.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu hung his head, looking somewhat sad.
"It'll be in about a year. I'll take you to find him then, and maybe we'll even meet Butterfree's child." Natsume patted Satoshi's head.
"Really? How did you find it?" Xiaoxia squinted at her, looking incredulous.
"I've installed tracking devices on all of you," Natsume said naturally.
"Huh? When!" Xiaoxia exclaimed in surprise, looking left and right as she began to search.
"Uh," Xiao Gang scratched his head, not really thinking much of it. After all, it was quite convenient for Natsume to have a way to locate him when he was out of contact.
"To be precise, I've installed tracking devices on all of you, on every single Pokémon," Natsume said with an air of seriousness.
"So quiet, so scary." Xiaoxia was speechless.
"Mr. Natsume secretly installed a GPS tracker on me."
Behind them, the proud girl cupped her face as another sunset rose.
"Thud!" Jiaozi fell onto Natsume.
"what?"
Natsume turned around and found that the other person's face was flushed and that he had fainted.
What's wrong?
Natsume was taken aback, only to see Ash and the others yawn in unison.
"Natsume-nii, why am I suddenly so sleepy? Is this the bittersweet feeling of parting you were talking about?"
As he spoke, Xiao Zhi squatted down on the ground and lay down directly on the ground.
"Pikachu~" Ash said, his Pikachu already fast asleep in his arms.
"We're so sleepy too." Xiaoxia and Xiaogang collapsed one after the other.
Natsume's own eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.
"I forgot to tell you, to prevent attacks from predators during migration, the Butterfly species will release sleep powder together."
Just then, a sea breeze blew over.
As he spoke, Natsume fell into a deep sleep.
"Pikachu?"
Behind the crowd, the man with the middle parting felt bewildered.
They're all asleep.
Is it safe to sleep here?
That's so inconsiderate!
