Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

"Huh? You're serious? You're giving it to me?"

An incredulous voice echoed from the Mineral Research Institute at Kanaz Academy.

Oreki looked at Daigo, who was smiling, with a surprised expression.

This was a rare instance of him experiencing such a strong emotional fluctuation.

Does Daigo even understand the value of the Mega Stone, one of the essential items for Mega Evolution?

Did Dr. Blatano's words go unanswered?

Just now.

Solanz and Bratano had a friendly exchange.

The final conclusion was one that even Blatanano didn't expect—the Hoenn region does indeed have Primal Megastones, which did not come from the Kalos region across the ocean.

This means that the wording in his paper will become less rigorous and will need to be revised immediately.

as well as.

Oreki, the person involved in this discovery, needs to appear in the special acknowledgments section of his paper.

Of course, the latter is not a mandatory requirement, but rather a basic quality of Blatano as a researcher.

Even under these circumstances, Daigo still generously gave himself the Mega Stone?

Although Blatano recognized the Mega Stone as Gardevoir's, it had no effect on Steven.

But it is, after all, the only super stone discovered in the Hoenn region so far, so its collectible value is off the charts!

—Coincidentally, Blatano is currently collaborating with Kalos League Champion Karune and recently found a Mega Stone that can Mega Evolve Gardevoir, so he was very impressed.

However, they only succeeded once.

Currently, Blatano has not yet figured out the underlying logic of Mega Evolution, and it seems that Mega Stones and energy activation devices alone are insufficient to support the stable progress of Mega Evolution.

"Teacher Oreki, please don't be so modest. This thing is of little use to me; it's just for collecting. I might as well give it to you for your research."

Daigo waved his hand dismissively.

"Besides, I've already memorized the unique scent of this type of ore. As long as it's still available in Hoenn, I'm sure I'll be able to find it again in the future."

So, you've secretly evolved your nose in order to mine for ore?

Does this thing have a special smell?

Oreki looked at Shin-chan.

Xin Ye Miao blinked her eyes cutely.

What's wrong, meow?

Why are you looking at me all of a sudden?

This cat can't perform any Mage evolution either!

Look, even Xinye Miao can't smell it.

finally.

As Oreki exclaimed, "Eh, no, no, no!" Gardevoir's Mega Stone ran into his pocket.

Even on the eve of departure.

Daigo also shoved the "new leaf-sized" ore over.

They directly shut down Oreki's excuses by saying, "Oreki-sensei is very knowledgeable and will surely be able to figure out what kind of ore this is again."

To this, Oreki only wants to say—

Please give me plenty!!

After Oreki left, the laboratory fell silent, and Solans quietly packed up his research equipment.

Daigo then opened his phone to deal with the unread messages from the past day and night.

There was nothing we could do about it; the signal was just too bad in the mine.

After leaving the mine in the morning, he immediately rode his armored bird back to the academy to have Solans identify the ore, and didn't have time to check his phone at all.

however.

After he finished reading all the messages, the expression on his smiling face suddenly became quite interesting.

Taking a deep breath, he asked, "Doctor, just who exactly is Oreki-sensei?"

It turns out that Officer Jenny couldn't resist her strong urge to share, and with Oreki's permission, she told her friends Joey and Daigo about her "heroic deeds".

This is not over yet.

What truly made Daigo lose control of his facial expressions was a video sent by his cousin, Du Juan.

It was Oreki's gym challenge yesterday.

As a trainer capable of challenging for the championship, Steven's observation, command, and training abilities are undoubtedly top-notch.

In this seemingly ordinary baby challenge, Oreki-sensei's performance was rather... outrageous?

Whether it's an ability that looks like telepathy, an ingenious idea to cultivate new Leafy's superpower talent, or a unique breeding method that allows Leafy to unleash burning attacks.

Each of these qualities is invaluable.

Not to mention, all of these abilities and achievements are concentrated in one person.

Is he really just an ordinary history teacher?

Daigo couldn't help but ask this question.

Upon hearing this, Solans was first taken aback, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Even Dr. Jiezilan didn't say he was this exaggerated when he recommended him to me..."

"..."

...

come back to the office.

Oreki carefully placed the ore he was carrying.

"I'm clueless... Maybe it's simpler to just smash it?"

"Meow?!"

Xin Ye Miao was startled.

That's not a good idea.

I vaguely remember you just promising "non-destructive research"...

"Ahem...just kidding."

Anyway, Daigo didn't say a timeframe, so let's leave it here and observe for a while.

Having made his decision, Oreki glanced at the time.

11:07

He took out his phone before he even got off work.

As for the lesson plan…

What lesson plan?

I was completely wasting my time in class this afternoon.

Students can row, and so can teachers!

Meow~

However, Shin-Ye-Nyan had a slightly different idea.

Its front paws carefully rubbed against the large ore, its fluffy tail waving back and forth on Oreki's arm, as if hinting at something.

"I really can't do anything with you. It'll only be a little while. I'll take it away after get off work."

Just a heads up, Oreki eventually pulled out the Lava Dragon Jewel.

"Meow meow~"

I knew trainers were the best!

Xin Ye Miao hugged the jade stone and started rubbing against it on the spot.

Oreki then opened "Pikachu Pikachu" to see how many followers he had gained overnight.

result.

Buzz buzz buzz!

In an instant, the phone seemed to be possessed by Rotom and unleashed an "earthquake" attack.

—Wait a minute…Does Rotom know this move?

The prolonged vibration of his phone made Oreki think he was being cyberbullied.

Take a closer look.

Thankfully, it's just notifications and a few private messages.

I glanced at the private messages.

Besides those who have already started pre-ordering cat food, a few people came with questions.

"Let me see what the problems are."

[Fighting King Trumpet Sprout: Mr. Oreki, I'd like to ask you a question. Why doesn't my Oddish like to sunbathe? Trumpet Sprout and Jumping Sprout both seem to enjoy it.]

Walking grass?

Oreki really remembered this Pokémon's habits, because it was one of the few Grass-type Pokémon that hated sunlight.

[Oriki: Does it hide itself in the cool soil during the day?]

[Fighting King Trumpet Sprout: That's right, that's right!]

Wow, that's intense surfing! They replied instantly...

Oreki continued.

[Oriki: Actually, not all Grass-type Pokémon like sunlight. Oddish is one of them; it prefers moonlight to sunlight.]

[Fighting King Trumpet Sprout: Oh, I see?! Come to think of it, it seems like it sneaks out at night a few times.]

[Oriki: That's right. I suggest providing it with fertile soil to help it take root during the day, and taking it out to bask in the moonlight at night.]

[Fighting King Trumpet Sprout: Yes! I understand! Thank you very much!]

[You have received a premium ball reward from user "Fighting King Trumpet Sprout"]

"This works?"

I glanced at the price of the "premium ball" among the gifts.

Goodness, 2000 PokéCoins each.

What a rich kid!

Unexpectedly, replying to private messages yielded a pleasant surprise, which immediately boosted Oreki's motivation.
