Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

Training ended, and Oreki pushed open the door and went out.

At this time, a number of students had gathered in twos and threes in the venue, each with one or two Pokémon behind them.

There are still some ongoing battles in the central arena.

"A battle class?"

Oreki realized what was happening.

In the real world of Pokémon, few trainers choose to travel, because even the most beautiful world has its dangers.

Not everyone is a true newbie.

Pokémon hunters, evil organizations, severe weather, Pokémon that dislike humans, and so on are all real threats to trainers' lives.

Therefore, most trainers choose to become apprentices at gyms to learn about Pokémon before traveling, or they can directly enroll in Pokémon schools to receive systematic training.

therefore.

Similar to the distribution of dojos, there is basically one well-regarded school to choose from in each region.

However, apart from the Orange Academy in Padia, which offers a wide range of courses covering almost all fields, schools in other regions mostly focus on Pokémon battles and breeding research.

Among them, Galar's Palace Academy, Sinnoh's Sky Crown Academy, and Unova's Blueberry Academy are famous for their battles and are known as the three major battle schools, attracting many trainers to apply every year.

In contrast, there is Yokohoku University in the Kanto region.

This school is a top institution in the field of Pokémon breeding and research, and many renowned PhDs are graduates of it.

"Speaking of which, could it be that the students at Tianguan Academy are just too strong, causing her to keep losing, since Cattleya can't control her superpowers?"

Oreki couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the elegant but somewhat arrogant girl in his past life's game who secretly broke down because she always lost battles.

"She's quite cute."

Without disturbing the students who were in class, Oreki prepared to slip out through the side door.

Unexpectedly, a spirited shout suddenly came from behind.

"Oreki-sensei—"

Turn around.

Du Juan was waving at him from not far away, with a red-haired girl dressed as a hot girl standing next to her. Her hairstyle was a bit edgy.

And it looks kind of familiar?

Oreki stopped and waited for Du Juan to come forward with her friend.

"Good afternoon, Oreki-sensei. Let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Aysa. Don't let her appearance fool you; she's actually an acting gym leader just like me!"

"Hey, hey, hey, what am I doing?!"

Yasha was immediately displeased and gave Du Juan an elbow strike.

He then spoke very enthusiastically.

"Hello teacher, my name is Aysa, I'm from LavaCity, and I like Fire-type Pokémon!"

"Hello."

Oreki responded with a smile.

It really is Aysa.

The granddaughter of Mulla, the former Hoenn Elite Four member and current Gym Leader of the Fumaiden City.

In addition, there's Daigo and Cattleya, who will most likely transfer here.

Is Kanaz Academy about to assemble a future champion, Elite Four member, and Gym Leader?

No wonder the fathead fish and the flightless fish are always fighting here.

I would do it too! What a wonderful place with such outstanding people and resources!

"By the way, the teacher is in the training hall now. Could he be the new combat instructor?"

Asha asked casually, her eyes full of curiosity.

If this handsome teacher were to teach her a battle class, she would definitely not slack off in the future!

"No, no, you can't have a new teacher coming in halfway through a class. Oreki-sensei teaches mythology and history."

Du Juan explained on behalf of Oreki, and she had figured out Oreki's background.

"Yes." Oreki nodded. "I'm here to borrow the training room to do some tests for my Pokémon."

"Eh—"

Asha was somewhat disappointed, but then she seemed to remember something and asked again.

"Speaking of which, our next class is Mythology History, a new course the academy just added. Is it Oreki-sensei's class?"

"Are you all in the third grade?" Oreki asked back.

"That's right!"

"That was really taught by me."

"Yay!"

"Actually, history is a rather boring subject, far less interesting than combat subjects."

Oreki was given a small dose of preventative medicine.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Yasha chuckled, startling Du Juan, who quickly pushed her aside.

"That's just how Asha is... she doesn't have bad intentions."

"Cough... I don't mind at all; in fact, it's quite nice to be energetic."

"Du Juan, did you hear that? The teacher praised me for being energetic! Unlike you, you're always holed up in your room... mmm!"

"Sorry, Oreki-sensei, we're leaving now!!"

Du Juan covered Ya Sha's mouth and dragged her away.

I already regretted it; why did I let this guy come over and say hello in such a moment of impulsiveness?

Far away.

Oreki seemed to have overheard Aya's complaints—outrageous remarks like "nerd" and "secretly sexy girl."

His eyebrow twitched involuntarily.

"I always feel that these two characters' personalities are slightly different from those in the game and anime."

Shaking his head, Oreki walked out of the venue. The afternoon sun in spring was bright but not scorching.

Take a deep breath.

The unique scent of the Pokémon world filled my nostrils.

"The weather is really nice."

Oreki released Shin-chan from its Poké Ball and held it in his arms.

The sun is so bright, it should be allowed to bask in its rays.

"Meow~"

The suddenly appearing New Leaf Cat yawned, found a comfortable position, and continued to doze off.

...

...

At 4 p.m., Oreki arrived at the classroom half an hour early.

Currently, Kanaz Academy is emulating Orange Academy's shift towards a more comprehensive teaching approach, but it's just a shift.

The fact that the battle class is scheduled for two hours while the mythology and history class is only one hour is a clear indication of this difference.

So even without any preparation, Oreki remained very relaxed.

Ultimately, it's just a basic, easy science course.

Ultimately, it wasn't even included in the exam scope.

When everyone submits a paper, everything will be fine.

So here's the question.

Can anyone tell me why someone who's been out of school for a year and a half is in a third-year class?!

"Daigo, what are you up to now?"

Daigo remained completely calm and composed, without batting an eye.

"In order to better mine stones, I felt it was necessary to study history, so I came here."

You know what, that actually makes sense.

Oreki couldn't do anything about it, so he let him into the classroom.

As a result, Daigo had just sat down.

A familiar, energetic voice came from the doorway again.

"Hey there! Oreki-senpai—"

"Strange Tree? What are you doing here too..."

Oreki pressed his brow, a sense of foreboding creeping over him.

"Hehe~ Because yesterday's live stream was very well received, everyone was clamoring to see what the former top student looked like in class."

"So, on a whim, I applied to the college's dean of students for a live stream, and to my surprise, it was approved right away!"

"You mean you want to livestream my class?"

Oreki felt like the sky had fallen.

Please!

I'm all set to coast along today!

If this were broadcast live, wouldn't we be utterly humiliated in Padiyah?

"Um... if it's inconvenient for you, senior, I can attend the class alone without the live stream."

Seeing her senior's predicament, Qi Shu, as a junior, showed great understanding.

But Origami was helpless.

The head of the teaching department has agreed, so how can I say "no"?

The most crucial thing is...

The other party was even not far away, walking quickly towards them.

"Director Grand."

Oreki greeted him.

He thought to himself, "Is this because they're afraid I'll disagree?"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Shu turned around in confusion and found the head teacher, with whom he had just spoken, right behind him.

"Ah! Hello, Director! Why did you come in person?"

"Miss Kishiki, please don't misunderstand. I'm not here because of the live stream. The decision to agree to the live stream is in Mr. Oreki's hands. I'm here to talk to him about something else."

After responding with a smile, Grange looked at Oreki with an excited expression.

Ok?

You didn't come because of the live stream?

What could be so urgent?

Oreki was somewhat surprised.

and many more!

Director, your gaze is a bit too intense!

next second.

Grand asked a question he never expected.

"Oreki, do you know the Sinnoh League Champion?"

Holy crap! Has it been opened?!
