Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

"Good morning, noon, and evening, hello Ciao~ Qi Shu's~ Qi Shu's~ Qi Shu's~ Live Stream, it's~time~!"

"Today, we've arrived at the LavaClay Gym in LavaClay Town, Hoenn region."

"As you can see, an exciting gym challenge is about to take place at the Blaze Gym!"

"The challenger is none other than the person everyone's been waiting for—Oreki-senpai!!"

[Oh ho? I didn't expect to see this guy so close to the end of the Hoenn journey]

[You can argue with that. The previous live streams were quite interesting, but they just felt like they were missing something.]

[Wait, isn't there another Pokémon next to him?]

[Holy crap! Isn't that my wife Ralts?!]

[Those in front, people shouldn't, or at least shouldn't, watch out for Officer Jenny coming to their door offering comfort.]

"Look everyone!"

Qishu has become increasingly accustomed to the daily antics of his livestream chat comments and has become more adept at handling them.

"Asa, the Gym Leader of LavaCity, sent out Magmar, one of her ace Pokémon."

As expected, the comments were immediately corrected as soon as these words were spoken.

【What does this mean? Is Oreki-senpai looking for trouble?】

[New Leaf Cat: Huh? I'm fighting a Duckbill Fire Beast?]

"I already found out before the match that this gym battle will be between Meowth and Ralts against Magmar!"

Qishu continued to interact with the comments.

[I just checked, and in the official Hoenn Gym battle records, Aysa's Magmar has appeared seven times so far, winning all seven battles.]

So, it seems like two against one, but it's actually one against two, right? Oreki-sensei's future is completely ruined!

[What? Does this mean my wife/beast is going to be ravaged?! A tonic!! Wait, ravaged...?]

Just as the barrage of negative comments was rapidly filling the screen, Oreki, on the battlefield, confidently turned off Qishu's live stream and put away his phone.

Since he dared to take on the challenge, he must have some confidence.

A full week of medicinal baths and special training has completely transformed New Leaf Cat and Ralts.

In addition, there's the blessing of the system [Rock Certificate] and the special cat food, as well as my own telepathic command.

It can be said that during the period when the cat food is effective, the two little ones' battle strength is in no way inferior to that of a veteran trainer's Pokémon.

"No matter how you look at it, the number of opponents is two against one, so the advantage is on my side!"

The spirit of uprightness and integrity of Oreki soars high.

System, please investigate this for me first!

[Female Duckbill Firebeast]

[Attribute: Fire]

【Characteristic: Body of Flames】

[Mastered moves: Flame Jet, Kick, Smoke, Flame Punch, Lightning Punch, Slam...]

A diligent personality.

[Status: Excellent, but somewhat lacking in motivation.]

[Evaluation: Strong performer in the mid-level niche with high growth potential; appears to have the potential to be unlocked with specialized equipment.]

So he's just a mid-level manager after all.

Oreki nodded to himself. Through these few system evaluations, he had roughly figured out the system's evaluation criteria.

Although Aysa's Magmar is her ace, she hasn't learned her signature move Flamethrower yet, nor has she completed her final evolution.

It is clearly still some distance from being a true Gym Leader level Pokémon, so it can only be in the middle of the ecological niche.

If we're comparing it to creatures from the New World, it's definitely stronger than the Mid-Part Guy, maybe similar to a Tobi-Staminosaurus or a Bone Hammer Dragon?

Thinking about this, Oreki suddenly realized something.

In the real world, there are definitely many elite trainers like Aysa, whose main Pokémon are in the middle of the ecological niche, or even reach the upper level.

If we take into account the entire Pokémon world, that number is absolutely staggering!

"This gym challenge is a special 2-on-1 battle. The other side wins when all of one side's Pokémon are unable to battle."

"Then now... the match begins!!"

With Du Juan's insistence on acting as a referee to allow for a close-up view of the match, this special dojo competition officially began.

Oreki then stopped thinking and looked at Aya.

"Teacher, you go first."

When faced with a challenge from her teacher, Asha behaved very gentlemanly and confidently.

"Then we won't stand on ceremony."

Oreki focused intently on connecting with Shin-chan's mind.

Telepathy, activate!

At the same time, Ralts quietly closed her red eyes and maximized her perception.

In an instant, it detected the subtle connection between the trainer and the new Leafy.

And so.

hum!

It immediately latched onto this seemingly fragile thread, which even its mental strength couldn't budge an inch from.

After a week of intensive training, Ralts, which possesses the "telepathy" ability, has become adept at "intervening" in the telepathic connection between its trainer and Newleaf.

At the same time, it finally figured out what the superpower fluctuations on Oreki that attracted it when they first met were, and why it suddenly felt stronger the night it got beaten up.

For this.

Its first reaction was similar to that of the new leaf cat.

Hey, as expected of the trainer I've chosen!!

Of course, the reason why all of this was able to proceed smoothly was not Ralts's hidden ability, but Oreki's delegation of authority.

Because if Oreki doesn't want to, he can refuse any intervention from supernatural fluctuations.

He had tried to use the academy's superpower device to disrupt the connection between him and Shin-Ye-Nyan.

As a result, even the strongest fluctuations in his superpowers did not affect his communication with Shin-Ye-Nyan.

To put it bluntly, the system's abilities surpass all other superpowers!

However, this super stability also has its drawbacks—it cannot actively connect with other Pokémon besides Neoleafy.

Only like this, after granting permissions, can one's own Pokémon insert itself.

"Meow, this big guy over there doesn't look like he'll be easy to deal with."

The moment the connection between the three was successfully established, Xin Ye Miao's cat language was immediately transmitted.

Ralts rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"You cowardly cat!"

"Meow! Those two stinky guys are eavesdropping on my thoughts again. I only didn't back down because I gave them enough attention!"

"Alright, focus on the battle."

Oreki interrupted the two little ones' bickering.

"Ralts, try using Psychic Beam first. Don't reveal your battle style too early, Newleaf."

The thought arose.

Ralts and Newleaf quickly spread out, forming a pincer movement to surround the nearby Magmar.

"Ralu!"

"Meow!"

Because the two little ones always train together, they are very familiar with each other's moves.

and so--

Ralts used Psychic Beam to wrap around Newleafy's leaves, controlling their rotation as it attacked Magmar.

"It's here! It's Oreki-senpai's telepathy and—a combination attack from Shin-chan and Ralts!"

In the stands, Qishu began his commentary.

The barrage of comments also reached a fever pitch.

Who researched Oreki? He's handsome, knowledgeable, and has superpowers.

[Boo! Witness our high-octane combo attack!]

Judging by the power of this move, it seems like we could fight?
