Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

Oreki is gone.

He walked away amidst Lucario's regretful gaze.

It failed to teach Kirlia how to use Aura, so it didn't get Oreki's instruction either—that's fair.

I'll definitely teach it next time we meet!

Lucario's gaze hardened.

Return trip method.

Oreki did not choose to ride Garchomp, nor did he ask Cynthia to arrange for an Elite Four member to escort him.

Knowing Hunter J's cautious nature, he knew the other side would never dare to attack the Alliance aircraft at this critical juncture.

What's the difference between that and walking right into a trap?

So I anticipated your prediction!

On the plane, Oreki found himself next to a Pokémon.

"Just smell it and that's fine, but don't let your curiosity get the better of you and eat it."

Watching Tilley the cat fiddling with its two petals, Oreki reminded her again.

These two petals were plucked from Roserade's left and right hands.

I originally intended to give it to him as a farewell gift, but Tiremy snatched it away.

This further convinced Oreki that the scope of "herbivorous creatures" in the certificate was exactly as he had thought.

Otherwise, Roseradore wouldn't have been so hesitant to offer him flower petals before he boarded the plane.

But then again...

Anyone who's good at giving Pokémon gifts are giving away poisonous things?!

He knew that Roseredo's flower and Kirlia's "high damage" left and right fists were similar.

The flower on the right hand is a fast-acting poison, while the one on the left hand is a slow-acting poison.

Based on the cultivation level of Roselle Bamboo.

Oreki strongly suspected that if Tiremy accidentally ate that petal of the fast-acting poison, she would be "coaxed" to sleep immediately.

Chemical sleep aids are a type of sleep aid.

"Meow."

I know!

Tire Cat was still sulking. After huffing and puffing back, she turned her head to the side.

"Huh? What's that?"

Oreki suddenly looked out the window and said.

"Meow?"

Tire Cat immediately joined the group and turned her head.

As a result, her light green face was pressed against something hard, and she couldn't turn her head at all.

I glanced at it sideways.

The trainer's fingers.

At this moment, Tire Cat realized that she had been tricked again!

"Meow!"

I'm ignoring you!

Seeing Tilley's furious expression, Oreki suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

Like an old friend...

Old friend...?

What the hell!

I forgot about Cattleya!

at the same time.

Sinnoh, outside the meditation room of a coastal villa.

"Miss, your bedroom has been repaired and you can go back now."

Outside the door, Shi Lan respectfully reported.

"I see."

A moment later, a slightly fluctuating voice came from inside the room.

Shi Lan was secretly amazed.

Although I don't know why, the young lady couldn't control her superpowers again last night.

But through years of care, he could clearly feel that the other person was indeed changing.

Regardless of how well she controlled her psychic powers after a week in Hoenn, she at least became more vibrant as a person.

To be precise, I've developed some emotions that I couldn't see before, such as anger, depression, and jealousy...

Sigh, why are all these negative emotions...

wrong.

Doesn't this just prove that the young lady's self-control has improved?!

Shi Lan discovered the key point.

The reason the other person seemed lifeless in the past was because they needed to reduce emotional fluctuations to avoid losing control of their superpowers as much as possible.

Judging from the emotions Miss displayed on the helicopter last night, if it had happened before going to Hoenn, the helicopter would most likely have crashed.

Kanaz Academy is full of hidden talents!

After Shi Lan left, the door to the meditation room suddenly opened.

Cattleya, suspended in mid-air, slowly descended, with her four Pokémon positioned at the four corners of the room.

Metagross, Miss Goth, Artificial Cell Egg, and Dream Erosion.

This is the training plan that Oreki devised for it when it was at the academy.

Although she firmly refused at the time.

After all, the "training program" sounds like she's being raised like a Pokémon!

But after her superpowers went out of control last night, a wave of guilt and regret washed over her, prompting her to give it a try.

The general idea behind this plan is to use the psychic abilities of Pokémon with different psychic attributes to harmonize the single, restless psychic power within her.

Her four main Pokémon are roughly at the Gym Leader level. Although their strength isn't high, they are all skilled at using psychic abilities.

They have a natural advantage in controlling superpowers.

The core of the training program is to help her find a control method that suits her when different superpowers are involved.

"Hmm...it seems to be working a little?"

Cattleya murmured to herself.

"meta".

Metagross calculated and then agreed.

Back in her newly restored bedroom, Gadriya eagerly picked up her new phone.

The message bar is empty.

Taking a deep breath, she subconsciously opened "Pikachu" and saw a post in the "You May Also Like" section.

Shocking! Mythologist is actually a humanoid Pokémon?!

In an instant, a figure flashed into Cattleya's mind.

Click into the post.

"whispering sound."

It really is Oreki.

As she continued climbing, her brows furrowed unconsciously.

How could such a big thing have happened during my training?

She was one of the few people who knew Oreki's strength, but she was still surprised for a moment when she saw his statement that he could stand up to the Hunter Leader Salamence.

In the previous Heatran incident, Oreki was merely in a standoff, and Metagross's calculated probability was only theoretical.

But now, this theory seems to have become a reality.

For some reason, her emotions, which had been fluctuating because she hadn't received any news from Zhu Lan, were suppressed.

Bu-i!

A personalized message notification sounded.

Cattleya quickly clicked on it.

[Cabbage: I didn't see you when I saw Oreki off at the airport. Didn't he tell you?]

What?!

I've been abandoned... oops! Forgotten??

That darn Oreki-sensei! Not only did he steal all the time I had with Ran, but he also left without even telling me!

However, before Gadriya could question Oreki...

Zhu Lan sent another message.

[Cabbage: Image.jpg]

[Cabbage: How was it? Not bad, right?]

The picture Cynthia posted was a photo of her with Pokémon, but…

There was an extra person and two Pokémon that didn't belong to Cynthia.

"!!!"

boom!

The phone screen cracked again, rendering it inoperable.

"You old thief, Oreki, you just wait—!"

...

"Achoo! Achoo!"

Oreki sneezed twice in a row after getting off the plane.

"Strange? Kanaz City is clearly warmer than Baidai City, so how did I catch a cold?"

"Meow."

Someone is insulting you.

Tire Cat was gloating.

"There's clearly someone thinking about me," Oreki stubbornly insisted.

"Meow... Meow (￣▽￣)「"

Yes, that's right, the hunter leader is thinking of you, meow.

Boom!

Tire Nyan was greeted by Oreki's merciless hand chop.

When it was small, Oreki didn't dare to use this move.

Now that it has successfully evolved and reached the "middle level of the ecological niche," it is able to adopt a special training method.

—That's right, it's getting beaten up.

That's why Kirlia has improved so quickly.

With its relentless training method that pushes you to the limit, it's hard not to improve.

After leaving the airport, I hailed a taxi.

Oreki sent messages to both Takeran and Cattleya.

Cynthia quickly replied with an "Eevee understands" emoji, but Gadalia kept it unread.

"This girl, she hasn't bought a new phone yet? Isn't she a rich girl?"

night.

As is customary, Oreki prepared a medicinal bath for Tirey and Kirlia.

But after they both got into the bathtub, Oreki realized a problem.

If they evolve again and reach their final form, will this bathtub still be big enough?

Oreki looked around.

Terrible!

If I catch a few more Pokémon, this tiny detached house might not be big enough!

If you want to take a medicinal bath, you might have to prepare a small swimming pool.

Sigh, what's a quick way to make money?

Oreki walked upstairs, deep in thought.

Open the energy-isolating box that you got from Dr. Solans.

Yes, not bad, the fireball slab is still there.

Take another look at the ore Daigo gave us...

No?

Where is my huge ore?
