Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 59: St. Ann's Departure

Kojiro: "???"

Meow meow:"???"

Musashi:"???"

Suddenly, Kojiro caught a glimpse of Natsume's clothes and exclaimed:

"Wait a minute, how come you have my housekeeper's uniform!"

This extremely real reaction was not only seen in the onlookers, but even Musashi and Meowth turned around at the same time and looked at Kojiro suspiciously.

"I found out, it turned out to be Master Kojiro of the Ryujiro family, one of the most powerful families in Kanto!"

"Ah! I heard that Boss Natsume worked as a summer intern at the Ryujiro family for a month, and they gave him this luxury cruise ship!"

People around started talking about it.

"What! You are Master Kojiro!"

Not far away, Gong Wan seemed to remember something, and his face suddenly changed. He looked as if the sky was falling in front of him and he was about to die.

He pointed at Kojiro, took a deep breath, and said loudly:
"Could it be that you are the legendary young man who was recognized by Victini at the age of one, defeated Arceus at the age of two, and tore apart Time Papa and Space Papa with his bare hands at the age of three. Now he is working undercover on Team Rocket, preparing to take down Sakaki and take over - Master Kojiro!"

"Don't talk nonsense, you bastard!" Kojiro was furious, feeling as helpless as a eunuch who was being slandered for his obscene behavior.

"Master Xiaojiro, spare my life, spare my life!"

Miyamaru ignored him, and slid down to Kojiro's front on his knees as if there were pulleys tied to his knees, begging for mercy in a servile manner.

"Humph! Bastard!"

Natsume's eyes turned cold, and he slapped Miyamaru so hard that he spun several times in the air before landing on the ground.

"Master Kojiro, please allow me to be the steward of the Ryujiro family for the last time!"

Natsume stood up and took Kojiro's hand.

On the side, two frightened crew members immediately set off.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the looks of the people around me seemed to change immediately.

With three parts of envy, three parts of fear, and three parts of shock
On the deck, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang witnessed everything: "."

"No, what are they doing?" Xiaoxia looked confused.

"Performance art?" Xiaogang scratched his head.

Team Rocket, headquarters, Sakaki's office.

"Boss, the alliance still refuses to give in." The secretary refilled Sakaki's glass.

"I see."

Sakaki's eyes were gloomy. He had already anticipated the league's reaction. It was impossible for the Rockets to get involved in promoting Dynamax.

He touched Cat Boss's head and just shook the red wine glass in his hand without drinking. The atmosphere was very silent.

"How's things going with Kojiro?" Sakaki asked the secretary as if he had thought of something.

"Everyone has boarded the ship as planned. Boss, would you like to take a look?" the secretary said, waving his hand, and a large screen appeared in front of Sakaki.

"Let's see. It was Ryujiro's request after all."

Sakaki rubbed his brows.

The league will implement plans for dynamism in the future, and the Rockets cannot directly participate in it.

But he can use other family companies in the Kanto region as gloves and contact them indirectly.

Ryujiro is a very good choice.

Of course, he had to fulfill the other party's request this time.

It's just a manual addition to Kojiro's performance to boost his self-confidence.

It’s easy enough to weave a villain action story with the trio as the protagonists.

Thinking of this, Sakaki was in a good mood and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Snap--" With a flash of white light, the surveillance footage on the St. Annus appeared.

"Welcome back, Master Kojiro!" A resounding voice came.

"puff--"

"Boss, are you okay?"

The St. Ann has set sail.

Kojiro, Musashi, and Meow Meow were surrounded by a group of people and boarded the boat.

Although they felt it was a bit strange, they had to admit that it felt good to stop thinking about it.

Natsume wasn't worried at all about the three of them feeling strange.

After all, Sakaki's original plan was also full of loopholes, but the trio still firmly believed in it——

If Sakaki has the money to hold a banquet on a luxury cruise ship, he might as well just hire a few Pokémon hunters so that he can catch more Pokémon.

"Hey, hey, hey, Xiaozhi, what were you doing just now?"

At the banquet, Xiaoxia brought a plate of small cakes and curiously pulled Xiaozhi, who came to the banquet after taking a shower.

"Well, Natsume-san called a group of people to perform a play, and I went too. He said he would give me some pocket money after the play was over."

"Pocket money? How much can it be?" Xiaoxia didn't think it was worth doing something embarrassing just for a little pocket money.

"one million."

"Ah!?" Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were a little unbelievable.

Just shouting a few words, one million?

"Shh~ Keep your voice down, others don't have that much!" Xiaozhi quickly covered Xiaoxia's mouth.

"No, Natsume didn't even call us for such a good thing!" Xiaoxia felt angry.

"That's simply too much!" Xiaogang agreed.

"Don't worry, you are the key to luring Master Kojiro aboard. We, the Ijuin family, will not treat you unfairly."

Natsume suddenly appeared and without saying anything, he stuffed a bank card with a Super Ball printed on it into each of their hands.

"Here is 500,000 yuan. Thank you for taking care of my young master outside." Natsume said in an old-fashioned manner with a fake beard.

Behind Natsume, Jiaozi was still wearing a suit and square sunglasses, looking very stylish.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't get too involved."

Xiaoxia looked at Natsume speechlessly.

"Ma'am, don't you notice you've gained a lot of weight?" Natsume suddenly looked at the cake on Xiaoxia's plate. "Ah? Really?"

Xiaoxia was stunned.

"So give it to me." Natsume reached out and threw the cake into his mouth.

"Hey!"

Xiaoxia stomped her feet, but unexpectedly Natsume flashed away.

As he walked, he quietly handed someone his bank card, as if he was paying the bill.

Faintly, Xiaoxia also saw the showy young master named "Gong Wan".

But this time, the other person took off the yellow wig and looked much more normal.

The bank card he received was also the most high-end one that Natsume had given out. There was a high-end ball printed on it. I wonder how much "performance fee" was in it.

"Natsume-san said that Kojiro's father gave him a lot of money, so he will take good care of Kojiro on this trip to the Saint Annun."

The two Pikachus were back on Ash's shoulders, and the three of them were munching on fruit snacks.

"Ah? Kojiro is really the young master?" Xiaoxia looked surprised.

She thought Natsume had suddenly gone crazy, but it turned out that Kojiro really had a rich father.

"That's strange. Why doesn't Kojiro inherit the family business but join Team Rocket?" Xiaogang was very curious.

"Hmm—I was also surprised when I heard about this, but Natsume-san said this: If you choose a path, you must finish it even if you have to crawl on your knees."

Xiaozhi's mouth was full of food and his voice was unclear. He was responsible for pulling the strings for the extras watching the scene, and it was tiring to run around in the crowd.

Xiaoxia's mouth twitched.

On the other side, the St. Ann's Market.

"It's terrifying, it's terrifying!"

On the deck, Kojiro crossed his arms over his chest, feeling completely insecure. He just walked with his head down.

"Hey, young master, can you take a look at the Golden Carp King?"

Kojiro ignored the boss's shouts and walked forward blankly.

Could it be that Dad’s big hand has infiltrated Team Rocket?

As he walked, Kojiro met Natsume.

The latter sprayed some onion water on his face and immediately came forward with red eyes.

"Master Kojiro!"

Kojiro: "."

"Natsume, what's going on? Is my dad looking for you?"

Kojiro asked directly.

"No, because I am really the head steward of the Ijuin family."

Natsume tugged at his butler uniform and looked at Kojiro sincerely.

"Who are you kidding?" Kojiro rolled his eyes.

"Actually, it's like this. The second year after you ran away from home, the head of the family passed away."

"what!!!"

Kojiro exclaimed, a worried look on his face.

"In the third year, my wife also followed."

"Wait a minute, you must be lying to me, otherwise why would you do this?"

"Of course I have to kill you, Master Kojiro, so that all the property will be mine." Natsume said as a Gengar floated up behind him.

"Ahhhh-"

Kojiro turned around and ran, disappearing in a flash.

Watching Kojiro running towards the Magikarp stall in the distance, Natsume straightened his clothes.

When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.

Ryujiro has one more request.

He prepared a Magikarp for Kojiro.

Magikarp is just one step away from evolving into Gyarados.

Let Natsume find a way to transfer it to Kojiro without him suspecting anything.

Natsume has always been a person who doesn't like trouble.

But the other party gave too much.

Kojiro was absent-mindedly standing in front of the Magikarp stall when the owner forced him to eat a Magikarp.

He returned to the room and found that Musashi and Meowth were already waiting for him.

In fact, last time, Kojiro gave them a brief explanation of his origins.

Musashi and Meowth didn't say anything about this.

At most, he would use Kojiro as an emergency fund, and if he ran out of money, he would fake a kidnapping and extort money from his father.

But today is different. Because of Natsume's disturbance, Boss Sakaki's plan has all gone to waste!
"Kojiro, I'm not the one doing the bad this time, meow!"

Meowth tutted and shook his head.

"Wait a minute, meow meow." Musashi pulled Meow meow, and she found that there was something wrong with Kojiro's expression.

"I need to call my dad!"

Kojiro's face was extremely serious. He turned around and walked out of the room and came to the public telephone booth on the deck.

Musashi and Meowth followed behind.

Soon, the video call was connected.

On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man with a mustache and dressed in a gentlemanly manner appeared.

"Hahaha, how about it, are you feeling the pleasure brought by your identity?"

Ryujiro laughed heartily. He was quite satisfied with Natsume's "script". This might awaken the aristocratic genes in Kojiro.

"You're still alive!" Kojiro exclaimed.

Ryujiro: "???"

Kojiro breathed a sigh of relief.
