Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

back home.

After a few simple steps, Oreki successfully registered an account on Pikachu, the largest video website, and quickly obtained official certification from the alliance.

This is the benefit of having connections.

Official certifications normally require a review process, but Oreki happened to know Dr. Solans.

Successfully verified directly through the recommendation channel of the Pokémon Professor!

[Mythology Scholar] [Hoenn Kanaz Academy Instructor]

It really does look like that.

It would be perfect if we added [Master Chef], [Champion], [Professor Pokémon], and [Cynthia's Childhood Friend]!

Ugh... never mind the last one.

—Your official verification is excellent; remember to turn off your private messages.

"Alright! Let's set those first three titles as our goals!"

He was very enthusiastic about breaking the wood.

"Meow, meow~"

Good evening, I'm hungry~

Shin-chan had just woken up, and her sweet, childlike meows immediately silenced Oreki.

Well, even future champions can't escape the fate of becoming "poop scoopers".

He was going to cook something simple.

But as soon as he stood up, he suddenly stopped. "Wait a minute, I passed on my cooking skills to you, shouldn't you be the one cooking?"

Meow~

Xin Ye Miao blinked her big purple eyes and stuck out her small cat tongue to lick her pink paw pads.

"Alright, alright, you little kitten, what kind of behavior is this, striking poses like that!"

Oreki decided to indulge Shin-chan this time.

"This is a one-time exception!"

"Meow!"

Next time for sure!

While preparing dinner, Oreki opened the [Hunter's Certificate] in the system interface.

He was still looking forward to the Hunter Certificate and the latest rewards.

After all, judging from the current trend, these are all genuinely good products!

Hunter's Certificate

Quantity: 1

[Rock Certificate: Improved climbing skills and increased speed (Activated)]

"..."

Never mind what I said.

Oreki had a look on his face like an "old man on the subway looking at his phone".

What kind of strange enhancement is this?

But then I thought about it again, and it didn't seem like there was any problem.

There are countless places in the New World where climbing is necessary. In Monster Hunter, falling from a great height doesn't take damage, but in reality, it can cause real injuries and fractures. It's also quite common to accidentally slip and fall off a cliff. Improving your climbing skills is definitely a very useful upgrade.

But I'm in the Pokémon world right now!

and many more…

Could this thing also work on New Leaf Cat?

"New Leaf Meow!"

Oreki turned and called out towards the living room.

"Meow meow!"

You promised to cook this time!

"What were you thinking? I wanted to ask how you're feeling."

Xin Ye Miao walked over with a "paji paji" sound, her cute face full of expressions that said, "If you lie to me, I won't talk to you for five minutes."

"Meow meow ha."

Aside from being a little tired, I don't feel anything else.

After saying that, it used its hind legs to propel itself onto the platform with a "whoosh".

Then I froze.

It glanced at its hind legs and said uncertainly.

"Meow?"

It seems easier than before?

"That's right." Oreki nodded. "Your climbing skills have improved. How's it going? Feeling good, huh?"

"Meow meow meow??"

Not again? Hakim, just how much do you have?!

Xinye Miao suddenly felt utterly hopeless. Was her trainer just a magic treasure chest?

He keeps pulling out something unexpected...

While it feels great to improve my strength, you're making me look so silly and cute!!

No, this cat needs to work even harder!

With a serious expression, Xin Ye Miao jumped straight off the table, then quickly ran to the door, leaped up, opened the door, and rushed out.

"Hey! Are you coming back for dinner?"

Oreki called out from behind.

The cat didn't turn its head, as if it had made up its mind.

Well... a little Pokémon content is never a bad thing.

Letting Shin-chan run out of the house, Oreki opened the system [Backpack] on his own.

"The reward will probably be something good, right?"

[Constitution-Enhancing Potion: Formulated from herbs, immortal insects, and various ancient dragon blood, this potion, when added to water and used for prolonged soaking, can significantly improve physical constitution.]

[Note: Although the medicine is good, please do not ingest it.]

"Oh! This looks pretty good."

Although it's still not the weapon I've been longing for, it should be able to be used by Shin-chan to improve his strength, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Then it's not a loss!

...

into the night.

Oreki joked as he massaged Shin-chan.

"Serves you right for showing off. You trained in the morning, had matches in the afternoon, and then did extra training in the evening. Now you're cramping up, aren't you?"

Xin Ye Miao pouted and remained silent, as if she were sulking.

however.

Oreki knew, however, that this guy was just putting on an act again.

When your cat gets angry, its toes splatter like flowers!

After massaging for a while, Oreki asked, "It shouldn't hurt anymore, right?"

"Meow…"

There's still a bit...

"Don't pretend with me. I used to be so tired that I would get cramps all the time. I've become quite the doctor for my own illness."

"Meow!"

Then why are you even asking?

"It's just a test for you. By the way, I just found something good that should be very helpful to your health."

Oreki picked up Shin-chan.

"Elbow, come with me to take a bath."

w(ﾟДﾟ)w

Upon hearing this, Xin Ye Miao was instantly terrified and made a meme-worthy face, struggling to escape.

Unfortunately, with its small size, it couldn't possibly break free.

"Meow!!"

A tonic!

In the bathroom.

Oreki was wrapped in a bath towel and thoroughly enjoying himself.

In comparison, Shin-Ye-Nyan's condition is rather strange.

Her face was flushed, and her head was steaming.

"Is the water too hot, or did you add too much medicine?" Oreki whispered, "If you can't stand it, you can go outside and cool off."

Xin Ye Miao didn't speak, she just kept her head down and shaking her head.

You big idiot trainer!

I'm a girl!!

Hmm... but this medicinal bath—is that what it's called?

It's actually quite comfortable, meow.

I feel like something is seeping into my body, and my sore limbs feel much lighter.

Meow~

Unable to hold back, Xin Ye Miao let out a comfortable moan.

"Cough... Okay, looks like I was overthinking it."

Oreki coughed once in reply.

Xin Ye Miao was extremely embarrassed and wished she could just plunge headfirst into the water.

I'd rather suffocate!

After their bath, Oreki and Shin-chan tidied up and went to bed.

Putting everything else aside, the cat's recovery ability is truly amazing.

Hmm... I'm talking about mindset.

Just a moment ago, it was so embarrassed it was practically dying, but now it's acting like nothing happened, as if it was the other cats who were just feeling awkward.

Sure enough, he had already turned on the TV and started watching the news as if nothing had happened.

"Hoenn News Flash: Recently, with the help of exemplary citizens, the police successfully arrested a Pokémon hunter from the Sinnoh region in Petalburg Woods. Officer Jenny would like to remind Trainers that if you encounter any suspicious individuals while traveling, please report them to the police immediately..."

Oreki, who had just unlocked his phone, raised an eyebrow upon hearing the news.

You're a model citizen, is he serious?

Just as I was complaining, my phone suddenly vibrated.

Seeing the notification pop up, Oreki subconsciously clicked on it.

There was a loud "thump"

A beautiful girl with long blonde hair suddenly appeared on the screen.

？ ！！
