Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

April, springtime, Hoenn region, deep in the Petalburg Woods.

A camouflage truck bumped along, startling the proud swallows perched on the treetops, making a rustling sound.

Inside the train carriage.

"New Leaf Cat, my life has been full of ups and downs. Do you think I can become the champion this time?"

Hearing someone call her name, Xin Ye Miao, who was huddled in the corner, slowly raised her head, her purple cat eyes flashing with surprise.

In the dimly lit and cramped carriage, a handsome young man with regular features was staring intently at him.

For some reason, even though only a few hours had passed, the hypnotized young man seemed like a completely different person, with a hint of vicissitude in his eyes.

However, this does not prevent it from believing that there is something wrong with the young man's mind.

They've already been captured by bad guys, and they still have time to spout nonsense. What kind of champion are they?

It's hopeless!

It licked the wound on its paw, then closed its eyes again to conserve its energy for a final, desperate fight.

"I was ignored. Well, that makes sense; Neoleafy is known for its changeable temperament."

Origami thought to himself, "It doesn't matter."

Looking around, memories hidden deep within my mind slowly surfaced.

"So I've traveled back in time again?"

That last sentence carried a bit of genuine feeling.

God knows how difficult his life was.

In summary

In his previous life, while playing Pokémon ZA at home, he was struck by a stroke of luck and was directly transported to the Pokémon world.

This should have been something every Pokémon fan dreamed of, but Oreki was unlucky enough to find himself captured!

The reason is that he witnessed the entire process of a Pokémon hunter poaching Shiny Neoleaf...

The ending was naturally tragic.

Xin Ye Miao remained defiant to the death, collapsing in front of him after exhaustion.

Although Oreki was wronged, she was taken to Sinnoh's secret base by Pokémon hunters, where she was beaten to her knees by hunter J and brainwashed into becoming her Star Effort.

Just as Oreki was on the verge of despair, his body completely drained, he found himself inexplicably transported back to another time!

This time, he traveled to a new continent in the Monster Hunter world, joined the research team, and grew into a top hunter after experiencing countless perilous encounters.

however.

Just as he finished defeating Nergigante and was attending the survey team's victory celebration, he suddenly felt dizzy and the world spun around him. When he opened his eyes again, he was back at the starting point.

"The experience in the New World was indeed real."

Oreki muttered to himself. He could feel the muscle memory accumulated in his body from fighting the ancient dragons for a long time, and even his physique after training had been preserved for some unknown reason.

"And this too."

He took out a specially made iron box from his pocket and opened it.

Instantly, the dimly lit carriage was illuminated, and waves of heat emanated from the spherical object inside the box.

"Meow?"

The new leaf cat, which is very sensitive to temperature, opened its eyes and began to rub its front paws together uncontrollably, releasing a sweet fragrance.

"You like this?"

Oreki asked curiously.

Xin Ye Miao immediately turned her head away, with a look of "disdain".

But its front paws didn't stop moving, and the carriage was filled with a sweet scent emanating from it.

Seeing this, Oreki chuckled inwardly, thinking, "So he's still a tsundere after all."

However, it's surprising that the Lavasioth's gem could elicit such a reaction from Newleaf Meow.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a legendary ancient dragon creature.

Click!

Suddenly, a metallic scraping sound rang out, and the vehicle slowly came to a stop.

After a while.

The heavy iron gate was pulled open from the outside, and sunlight streamed in.

Narrowing his eyes, Oreki looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a scar near his eye standing outside the car.

"Kid, you woke up so early? Looks like I underestimated your physical abilities. Huh? Why is it so hot in here? And this fragrance..."

The scarred man looked around warily, but found nothing amiss. Just to be on the safe side, he still threw out two Poké Balls.

"Come out, old buddies."

A flash of red light, and the Great Wolfhound and the Big Mouth Bat appeared one after the other.

As soon as the large wolfhound landed, it let out a low growl, its eyes fixed on its prey inside the carriage.

Even though Shin-Ye-Miao had been keeping calm, her hind paws trembled slightly when she was stared at like that.

"Intimidation trait?"

Oreki understood.

This level of intimidation is nothing to him now; at most, it's comparable to the middle-part guy in the New World.

Although it sounds strange, a Pokémon of that level of training definitely couldn't beat a human like him.

"Rebirth of the Super Green Washer is Actually Myself"?

"If you don't want to suffer any more physical pain, then you'd better obey."

Upon noticing the new leaf cat baring its teeth, the scarred man gave a menacing warning.

He was having a real headache with this odd-colored Newleaf Cat that he had poached from the Little Scroll Lab.

The client explicitly stated that they were not allowed to use Poké Balls to catch Pokémon; they had to catch them themselves the first time.

Isn't this a kind of pure love?

The scarred man wanted to express this sentiment, but in reality, he had to expend a great deal of effort to capture this stubborn new leaf cat without taking any damage.

Fortunately, there was still half an hour until the agreed time. As long as the leader flew over with the customers and finished capturing the Pokémon, he would immediately receive one million PokéCoins, enough for him and his Pokémon to enjoy themselves for a while.

The thought of Leader J sent a chill down the scarred man's spine.

Logically speaking, it would be difficult for a low-level Pokémon hunter like him to encounter the elusive leader.

Unexpectedly, shortly after he uploaded the image of the mission completed, Leader J took over his superior's command and demanded that he bring back the unconscious young man who was lying nearby.

This is why Oreki was found inside the train car.

"Could it be that she's attracted to this kid's looks?"

The scarred man sensed the gossip, but showed no envy at being noticed by an important figure.

He had long heard about the leader's methods of training people.

"Hey, this kid's probably in for a rough time."

"Woof!"

Just then, the howling of the large wolfhound beside them suddenly became louder.

next second.

A small clump of leaves appeared out of nowhere and quickly flew out of the carriage.

"Goblin, Ultrasonic!"

The scarred man remained calm and composed, and after creating some distance, he gave the order.

"Big wolfhound, bark loudly!"

The two Pokémon often face such unexpected situations and react very quickly.

An invisible sound wave emanated from the mouth of the Zubat, and the leaves that Newleaf Cat had managed to release with all its might were shattered into pieces the moment they came into contact with it.

The loud barking of the Great Wolfhound followed closely behind; this sonic attack was even more powerful than the Zubat's ultrasonic wave.

It not only swept away the remaining leaves, but also hit the new leaf cat that had no time to dodge.

boom!

"Meow...meow..."

Xin Ye Miao crashed heavily against the interior wall of the carriage, whimpering in pain.

Can't wait any longer!

The scene, exactly the same as in his memory, made Oreki realize that it was time for him to make his move.

Otherwise, this stubborn little cat would have used its half-baked Falling Petals technique to destroy the scarred man.

【Ding! 】

Just as he was about to take action, a crisp mechanical prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.
