Chapter 83 Who is this cadre?
"Is this what you're looking for?" Naz's voice came through.
Natsume looked in that direction and saw a chibi-style Sabrina standing on the other person's shoulder.
The moment their eyes met, the chibi-style Sabrina instinctively hid in Sabrina's hair.
"Huh?" Natsume exclaimed, took out his phone, opened an app, and pointed it at the chibi version of Sabrina.
The encyclopedia is filled with question marks.
At the same time, the system's voice sounded in Natsume's mind.
[A new Pokémon species has been discovered. Should we conduct a system survey?]
New variety?
Natsume was taken aback, then subconsciously agreed.
[Exploring this world, information search 1% in other parallel worlds. Information about this Pokémon has been discovered!]
The next second, a transparent frame appeared in Natsume's eyes:
[A substitute doll, with superpowers and a ghost.]
[Born in the world of superpowered individuals, it enjoys possessing dolls and will exhibit appearances and behaviors similar to its owner.]
Natsume frowned.
Substitute doll?
He thought of the cursed doll.
A poor, abandoned doll can turn into a Pokémon under certain circumstances.
Of course, that situation is very demanding; most of the time, cursed dolls evolve from wrathful dolls.
These so-called substitute dolls sound very similar to cursed dolls that are naturally born under harsh conditions.
"One is resentment, the other is emotion?"
Natsume picked up the chibi-style Sabrina, who was so anxious that she bit Natsume's finger while squealing.
Natsume pushed his finger in, poking it in the throat.
"Cough cough cough!" The substitute doll opened its mouth.
You little brat, you still want to bite him.
Do you know how many Pokémon bite you get at Oak's lab every day?
"That Pokémon is!" Satoru Kokoro leaned closer, a hint of shock in his eyes.
"Uncle, do you know?" Natsume looked at Kokoro Satoru.
"I don't know," Shinzan Satoru shook his head.
"Natsume: "."
"But this is very similar to the telekinetic incarnation described in my ancestral manual."
"A secret manual?" Natsume suddenly leaned closer, looking at Kokoro Satoru with suspicion.
"Uh, well, the main thing is that this is something I can't pass on to outsiders. You... uh, the book I gave you does indeed contain all the superpower cultivation methods except for secret manuals."
Xinshan Wu stammered, seemingly feeling quite guilty.
"Let me see the secret manual." Natsume reached out his hand.
"Um, no, I really won't pass this on to outsiders." Kokoro's face showed a conflicted expression.
He continued, "Even if you learn it, it's useless. To achieve telekinetic avatars, one must reach the pinnacle of the main world."
"Even without a secret manual, once you reach that level, it will automatically condense."
"Is that so?" Natsume glanced at Sabrina.
It's not surprising that the other party could condense a telekinetic avatar after seven or eight years of accumulation.
"Here you go," Natsume suddenly said, handing a small booklet to Natsume.
"What is this?" Natsume asked, taken aback.
"My family's secret recipe." Sabrina smiled at Natsume.
"???" Kokoro Satoru stood to the side, his eyes wide.
"Father, didn't you say that I would give the secret manual to the right person in the future? I think Natsume has a lot of talent."
As Naza spoke, she looked at Kokoro Satoru with a strange expression.
"Little Nazja, what I mean is..." Kokoro Satoru had a bitter pill to swallow.
"Thank you!" Natsume waved to Sabrina, recalled his Dragonite, sat on Gengar's head, and flew away from the gym.
"Natsume-nii, is everything resolved?" Ash greeted him excitedly.
"It's resolved. I'll head back to the Pokémon Center now." Natsume nodded to everyone.
"Alright, in that case, I'll challenge Sabrina again!" Ash said, taking the lead and running towards the Saffron City Gym.
"I want to see what a normal Miss Nazi looks like!" Xiao Gang exclaimed excitedly.
"Hey, wait for me!"
Shaking his head slightly, Natsume led Aya back to the Pokémon Center in Saffron City.
Back in his room, Natsume couldn't wait to start flipping through the so-called family secret manual.
"Psychokinesis"
The manual was very thin, and Natsume had almost finished reading it in less than an hour.
"So humans are a type of Pokémon after all?"
Natsume sat there, lost in thought.
Pokémon born from the human spiritual world. According to classification, Natsume thinks that Substitute Doll should belong to the Mythical Pokémon type.
It's extremely rare!
It seems like Sabrina is the only human in the world with superpowers who can reach the pinnacle of the main world.
Natsume abandoned the idea of casually publishing a paper.
The discovery of a new species of Pokémon must be within a population.
These extremely rare individuals can only be classified as mythical beasts and included in the encyclopedia for collection.
[Ding—The S-rank project "The Curse in the Reverse Direction" has been completed. The host has obtained a Master Ball-level scratch card.]
As Natsume sighed, the system's voice also sounded.
Natsume scratches off the Master Ball scratch-off lottery ticket.
[Ding—Congratulations, host, you have obtained Master Ball x1.]
Another guaranteed minimum?
Well, that's fine, at least he has two Master Balls now. When he researches the Master Ball Rotom in the future, he can discard one of them.
His current research on advanced Rotom balls is causing dozens of them to be scrapped every day.
If it were a Master Ball, which costs an exorbitant amount, Natsume wouldn't even dare to dream of the fortune required.
"I'm exhausted!" Natsume lay sprawled on the bed.
He's been through a lot these past few days, and he needs to rest and process it all.
As for using telekinesis to depict advanced spheres, there's no rush; the road ahead is still very long.
In the evening, Ash and his friends returned to the Pokémon Center.
After finding Natsume fast asleep, no one disturbed them, and they quietly returned to their respective rooms.
Silent all night.
That night, the people of Golden City breathed a sigh of relief.
Because that terrifying gym leader suddenly changed his personality and even held a gym demonstration match in Central Park.
That night, the reporters were all holding their breath.
Damn it, the big news I was hoping for never happened.
Well, I guess I'll have to target the Rockets; that's the only way I can outmaneuver my competitors!
Working overtime, putting in extra hours, rushing to finish!
The following day, at the Rockets' base.
"Phew~" Sakaki sat on the sofa, blowing on the hot coffee in his cup.
"Boss!" The secretary opened the door and handed Sakaki a newspaper.
"What's wrong?" Sakaki wanted to grab the newspaper to see what noteworthy events had recently occurred, but his secretary grabbed it first.
A hint of unease flashed across the secretary's face.
"Uh, Boss Sakaki, I think I just glanced at some offensive content in this newspaper."
"Offensive? Hmph!" Sakaki took a sip of coffee, a hint of disdain on his face.
"I'd like to see what kind of offense this is!"
Thinking someone was trying to stir up trouble for the Rockets by using public opinion, Sakaki suddenly snatched the newspaper from his secretary's hand.
At a glance, there's a striking headline:
"Boss Sakaki raids an octogenarian's home at night; the reason is surprisingly..."
"Pfft—" The coffee stained the newspaper yellow.
The secretary looked up at the sky.
She already said not to look.
This isn't the only one; there are many more above it.
"Rockets executives steal from the Golden Gym at night, suspected of being forced into a corner due to Giovanni's unpaid wages!" - "Let me talk about the league economy."
"Saria's lover is actually a Team Rocket executive!" — "Kanto Gossip".
"The reason why Sakaki prefers male secretaries has been found!" - "Kanto Rich List".
Sakaki: "???"
What is all this?
And isn't his secretary always a woman?
"Insane." Sakaki lowered his gaze, his eyes flashing with a chilling light.
Although he couldn't interfere with several major media outlets, he could still make an example of a few smaller media outlets to deter others.
Suddenly, Sakaki's gaze sharpened and fixed on an accompanying picture.
In the picture, a Team Rocket officer is seen sticking out his buttocks and leaning against the skylight of the Saffron City Gym.
Sakaki frowned slightly.
It seems these media outlets weren't just making baseless accusations.
"Find out which official this is."
"Okay, boss."
The media photos were blurry; Sakaki could only make out the general outline.
