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

Chapter 64: Effect Unknown

Chapter 65: Effect Unknown

"Strange, what did Natsume and the others go to do?"

Although it was dark at the beach, Ash and his friends still waited anxiously for Natsume.

"Pikachu!"

"Spit it out! Spit it out right now!"

When the stinging jellyfish returned, they found Natsume in despair.

He was fast asleep with his hair parted in the middle, and couldn't be woken up no matter how hard he tried.

Natsume didn't think this was some kind of drowsiness that was a side effect of absorbing divine authority.

Because when he takes out the snacks that the person with the middle parting likes to eat, the other person will immediately open their eyes and eat the snacks in one bite.

Then I went back to sleep.

This proves that the other person's sleep is not uncontrollable drowsiness.

However, Natsume, who was well-versed in Pokémon knowledge, knew very well that the man with the middle parting was not pretending to be asleep.

The middle part hairstyle truly achieves the magical state of being able to sleep whenever you want and wake up whenever you want.

When he wanted to sleep, no matter how noisy the outside world was or how much Natsume tossed and turned, the man with the middle parting still slept soundly.

No, such a large fragment of divine authority only gave you this function?

"Hey, Natsume-nii, where are you going?"

See you at the Pokémon Center!

Natsume, refusing to believe it, slid down the tentacles of the stinging jellyfish, only to be instantly taken away by Rotom's teleportation while holding the middle-parted hair in his hand.

A fragment of divine authority that can hold a Pikachu lying down to sleep is quite large.

The fact that such a large fragment of divine authority was completely absorbed by the man with the middle parting, without any abnormalities, is itself an anomaly.

The middle part did not Dynamax, did not change its level, and its stats remained unchanged.

This is very unusual.

Inside a room at the Pokémon Center in Ampu City.

The lights flickered, and a girl's shadow swayed.

The sound of clattering keyboards filled the air at the computer desk, and Jiao Zi wore a headscarf with the words "Struggle" tied around his forehead.

Her eyes were fixed on the computer screen.

Time flies, and a month has almost passed. The time I promised Natsume is just around the corner!

She must concentrate on staying by Mr. Natsume's side!

She remained unmoved by the loud noise outside.

She remained unmoved by the sound of police sirens outside.

She didn't even glance at the bright light outside!

She must stay by Mr. Natsume's side!

Unless someone blows up the Pokémon Center!

"boom!"

Suddenly, the floor of Jiao Zi's room began to crack open.

"Huh?" Jiaozi looked down and saw a giant Pikachu head with a middle parting, which was bursting the floor.

"Boom—" Another loud noise.

The Dynamaxed, parted-headed creature sat blankly amidst the ruins, with atop its head a bewildered alpha sitting in a chair.

What happened?

"Mr. Natsume." From the side, Miss Joy looked at Natsume with a smile that concealed a knife.

"Uh, send the bill to my house." Natsume said, handing a piece of paper with an address written on it to Miss Joey.

As soon as he teleported to the Pokémon Center, the man with the middle parting began to grow larger uncontrollably.

"Sigh!" Miss Joy sighed, not taking the note Natsume handed her.

"Fine, you're a hero who protects the city, I'll apply to the league."

"Is that so?" Natsume took back the note with Professor Oak's address written on it.

"Mr. Natsume!"

A familiar voice came from above the person with the middle-parted hair.

Natsume looked up and saw that it was Jiaozi.

"Mr. Natsume, it seems to be getting smaller." Jiaozi's voice was somewhat frightened.

Natsume looked down at the other person's middle-parted hair, and the other person's enlarged body was gradually shrinking.

What happened?

Natsume found it a bit strange, since the giant Dragonite and the giant Tentacruel were not smaller in size.

The creature with the middle parting suddenly opened its mouth, and as its size shrank, black and red particles kept floating out of its mouth.

At the same time, as if filtering something out, countless white, misty particles began to condense on the top of the middle-parted head.

"Ah—" The top student above was the first to be enveloped by the mist and let out a big yawn.

"I'm so sleepy," she said, and her body slumped down uncontrollably.

Natsume reached out and caught the falling prince.

"What is that?" Natsume muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the top of the man's middle-parted head.

The black and red particles in the mouth of the man with the parted head were continuously filtered, and its size became smaller and smaller, gradually approaching normal.

However, correspondingly, more and more white, mist-like particles are emerging from the top of the middle-parted hair.

In the end, his middle-parted hair resembled a powerful human-shaped humidifier, with mist gradually spreading from the Pokémon Center.

The entire Pokémon Center, the surrounding city, the beaches, and the nearby seas

"Ah—I'm so sleepy." Joy rubbed her eyes, leaned against Chansey, and collapsed uncontrollably.

"Raki~" Chansey had already fallen asleep.

"What's going on?" Natsume was unwilling to accept it, and he also felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

Natsume, holding the proud child in his arms, collapsed into the mist as if completely out of control.

Until his very last glance, he was staring intently at the top of the middle-parted head.

In the instant before losing consciousness, Natsume saw something.

On the top of the head with the middle parting, in the area where the white particles were most concentrated, something was glowing.

Like a crystal.

"Pikachu?" The man with the middle parting looked at the fallen trainer with a strange expression.

Not far away, there were fallen pedestrians. The entire city was asleep. Even the jellyfish population on the beach had all turned belly up and were floating on the water, fast asleep.

"We agreed to catch these agate jellyfish, meow."

"But my eyelids feel so heavy."

"Is today a good day for sleeping? Even the fish in the sea are asleep."

Below sea level, the trio sits in a machine shaped like a Magikarp.

Even with the water as a barrier, it seemed unable to stop the drowsy white mist.

Soon, Magikarp, no longer able to pilot, slowly sank into the sand.

"Pikachu—ha~" The man with the middle part yawned.

It doesn't understand why these people suddenly want to sleep.

But it knew that none of these people would sleep.

"Pikachu." The man with the middle parting shook his head in disappointment at his trainer.

That's not how you sleep.

With her middle-parted hair supporting a small blanket, she found a soft spot on Chansey's body and fell asleep immediately.

As for the unidentified thing emitting steam above its head...

I can't be bothered with my middle-part hairstyle; is it more important than sleeping?

Anpu City was extremely quiet that night.

the next day.

Natsume had a dream.

I dreamt that I was at the seaside, and the sea breeze was salty and fishy.

When Natsume woke up again, he found himself bound by something.

She was a proud child; she hugged herself haphazardly, her legs scissor-like, her head tucked between them.

Memories flooded back, and Natsume abruptly stood up, searching for the figure with the middle-parted hair.

"Mr. Natsume, here's your middle-part hairstyle."

Jiaozi's voice came from behind. Natsume looked over and saw that the man with the middle part was sleeping in Chansey's pocket.

"."

"You're awake." Natsume turned to look at Takako.

"Oh yes, that's right, I just woke up." For some reason, Jiaozi started to react again.

"Ah—that was such a good night's sleep," came Miss Joey's voice.

"Oh no, the equipment at the Pokémon Center!" Nurse Joy suddenly woke up. She nudged Chansey awake, and the two of them, looking like something was seriously wrong, headed towards the Pokémon Center's undamaged backyard.

Upon seeing this, Natsume's expression changed slightly.

Some of the equipment at the Pokémon Center is quite expensive and requires constant monitoring and periodic power outages.

If the problem arises because of the mess caused by the middle-part hairstyle, reporting it to the league probably won't get you a replacement.

Natsume picked up the culprit that Chansey had placed on the ground.

"Pee—" The man with the middle parting looked at Natsume strangely.

"Do you know how much trouble you've caused?" Natsume snapped his finger at the man with the middle parting.

"Whoosh—" Before the finger snapped, the middle-parted hair instantly fell asleep.

That way you won't feel the pain.

Natsume: "."
