Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

One hour later.

After changing her clothes, Gadriya arrived at Oreki's office under the guidance of the head of student affairs, Grange.

"Oreki, this is our only exchange student this year, so you'd better mentor him well."

Grange winked at Oreki without making a sound.

He felt that given the other person's character and way of doing things, they would definitely understand the unspoken message in his words.

Although she didn't understand why Gadriya specifically asked Oreki to be her student, after all, he was just a history teacher who didn't understand combat.

But who can blame them when their status in Sinnoh is no less than that of Steven in Hoenn, and both of them were admitted with financial backing.

As long as they don't do anything that harms the college, they can do whatever they want.

What if she's also a girl who's very interested in history and archaeology?

however.

Oreki's first words completely stunned Gorō.

"Oh, is the Superpower Queen here?"

?

Because she went through the official exchange student program, the academy was unaware that Gadriya's main purpose as an exchange student was to learn how to control her superpowers.

Grand was also unaware of what had just happened at the academy gate.

But he could hear the unfriendly tone in Oreki's words.

What kind of teacher starts by making fun of students like that?

He knew that Cattleya's personality wasn't as approachable as Daigo's; on the contrary, she was somewhat arrogant.

The situation became quite awkward.

As his nominal subordinate, Gorō felt he should say something on Oreki's behalf.

However, he didn't know what Oreki meant by "Super Queen," and if it was some new internet meme, his abrupt interruption might backfire.

Secondly, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the girl next to him had raised her right hand at a 45-degree angle, her index finger pointing directly at Oreki across from her.

They are clearly ready to launch an attack.

Well, good luck to you, Oreki.

I hope you can explain yourself clearly.

Ok?

How did you manage to fly?!

He's even crossing his legs!

Instead of explaining, you're trying to be cool? You're something else.

Wait, didn't he just say superpowers?

Grand turned his head.

Cattleya's cold eyes gleamed with purple light, her long golden hair moved without wind, and she exuded a dangerous aura.

What the hell!

She's truly a superpowered queen!

"Don't fight!"

Grand panicked. He had just said he would do anything as long as it didn't harm the academy, and now this had happened.

"That Gadalia, Oreki-sensei must be joking with you, right, Oreki?"

Grand seemed to be blinded by the sandstorm's attack, his eyes blinking rapidly.

Seeing the director's embarrassment, Oreki pretended to speak with difficulty.

"Director Grand, I have a class this afternoon. Daigo is definitely at the academy. Go find him and help me. I need to apologize to Catharia first to calm her down."

"Oh right, right right! I'm going to find Daigo right now."

Grunt belongs to the type of person who is completely unskilled in Pokémon training and battling, and only treats Pokémon as companions and assistants.

So even if he has his own Pokémon, a Growlithe can't do anything at this time!

Compared to Pokémon he didn't train, Steven's ace Metagross is more reliable.

"I'll be right back, you have to hang in there!"

Grand released Growlithe.

"Find Daigo!"

"Woof!"

Growlithe clearly does this often; after a brief sniff, it took off running.

at this time.

In Grunt's blind spot, New Leafy was crouching next to a glass container of ore, holding the Lavasioth Gem, while Ralts had been squatting in a horse stance for half an hour not far away.

The two little ones were unmoved by the fact that their trainer had been "raised" by Cattleya's psychic powers.

After hearing Grand's last words before he left.

Shin-chan couldn't help but open its light purple eyes and blink at Ralts.

That cheeky little expression seemed to say—that guy was just cheering on the girl opposite him, hoping she could use her superpowers to last longer?

Ralts glanced at it and nodded slightly.

"Laru".

Yes.

New Leaf Cat raises its paw, making a flower-like shape.

"Meow~"

I hope she can hold on a little longer.

That way, I can stick to the hot jade more often~

Oreki took in the two little ones' flirtatious glances from mid-air.

You heartless bastards! The Pokémon are worried about their trainers getting into danger or getting hurt.

You two are really something! Not only are you not worried, but you also look like you're hoping I'll be stumped!

With a sigh, Oreki crossed his legs in mid-air and began to ponder.

He certainly wasn't deliberately teasing Cattleya; he just wanted to take the opportunity to see her true capacity for endurance.

Many patients do not truthfully describe their symptoms, always deliberately exaggerating their severity, as if that would make their illness milder.

Now, it seems that's exactly what Cattleya was like.

Is it really true, as she herself said, that "most of the out-of-control situations occurred after losing the battles," that there were two instances of her superpowers going out of control within just one hour?

Oreki was skeptical of this.

And most importantly.

Even if it's just a joke, she'll use superpowers that she hasn't fully mastered on herself.

Even if this was more like a prank, because she knew she was better than the average person, that idea itself was problematic.

After all, she had used her superpowers to travel and avoid the rain that morning. If she hadn't led the way herself today, and other situations had caused her superpowers to go out of control, she might have accidentally hurt other ordinary people.

Using superpowers frequently without fully mastering them, which could potentially lead to loss of control, is a somewhat biased viewpoint.

Oreki is not a professional psychologist, and he doesn't know if his judgment is accurate.

But at least Cattleya is willing to believe him, even going so far as to transfer schools here, so he will definitely try his best to correct her.

Not to mention that the other party is a big fan of Zhu Lan.

We're family, so we don't stand on ceremony. Her fans are my fans too.

I'm definitely going to help you with this!

Why not take this opportunity to let her really lose control and give her some Gu Long treatment?

After thinking for a while, Oreki had an idea and spoke up.

"Look at you, you're in such a hurry."

"?"

Originally, Gadriya thought that Oreki was just teasing her, and that she would use her superpowers to play a prank, and that would even things out.

She wasn't really angry; she could still control this superpower.

Moreover, the fact that the other party was able to catch the aftershock of my superpower with their bare hands is clearly extraordinary, so there is no need to worry about accidentally injuring them.

But he's still provoking us?!

I'm here sincerely to learn how to control superpowers, not to listen to your sarcastic remarks!

Cattleya had never suffered such humiliation in her life.

Unconsciously, the output of superpowers increased.

"Oh? It's about to break through your defenses?"

"It seems you have no self-awareness at all. You can't control your superpowers at all, yet you blame it on losing the battle?"

"That's why I say you can only catch up with Zhu Lan, but can never surpass her."

"With that kind of self-control, you'll never be as good as Zhu Lan!"
