Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

Chapter 78 Sakaki's Olive Branch (Seeking First Subscription)

What the heck?

dream?

How many people believe in the existence of dreams these days?

There's no clear information about this in Professor Oak's published Pokédex.

It only briefly introduced the Pokémon as an unknown Pokémon whose genetic material may contain information about other Pokémon.

That being the case.

Oreki used the investigation method.

IP: Unknown. The investigation method is ineffective.

Just to be on the safe side, he first asked the other party why they wanted to learn about this Pokémon.

But the other person asked a different question in return.

[Earth Incarnation: Interested in conducting scientific research here?]

Hey, hey, hey, please don't just talk to yourself!

and also!

Would anyone actually recruit in such an informal setting?

It was just another weird harassing private message!

Oreki decided not to return.

[Earth as a Form: Salary negotiable.]

Ah, salary?

Oreki sneered.

I was someone who had received anti-fraud training in my previous life.

I never imagined that this method of luring people to meet offline under the guise of work and then controlling them would be used in the Pokémon world.

Anyway, there's nothing much to do the day before the holiday, so let's tease each other a bit—

[Oreki: Transfer 50 to me and let's see your strength]

[You have received a Masterball tip from user "Earth Incarnate"] ×5

?

Has it been shipped?

Brother, you're putting me in a difficult position—

Just as Oreki was pondering how to reply, a new message came from the other end.

[Earth Incarnation: 50 is a bit stingy, 50,000 should show my sincerity, right?]

I see their sincerity, but I can't actually go—

After all, it's only 50,000; I'll have to deduct half before I sell it.

There is sincerity, but it doesn't seem quite enough.

[Earth Incarnation: Want to meet at the Viridian Gym in Kanto sometime?]

Ok?

Viridian Dojo in Kanto

If I remember correctly, the current Viridian City Gym Leader is Giovanni?

Ah, this—

No wonder they asked about Fantasy Westward Journey right away.

Oreki understood everything.

Clearly, the other party's real target is probably not Mewtwo, but Mewtwo!

The strongest artificial Pokémon whose genes are almost identical to Mew's, but whose personality is completely different!

So here's the question.

What kind of approach do Giovanni and Team Rocket take in the real world?

Animation or game?

Or a special episode?

In fact, regardless of his worldview, Giovanni is a different person.

His skill level is absolutely top-notch among trainers.

If he had used his full strength, the Kanto and Johto regions probably wouldn't be in such a leaderless state now.

Of course, although there was no champion in those two regions before, Wataru, as the "Dragon's Messenger," was acting as the champion.

Well—Miss Kona has just never really been willing.

same.

Regardless of the worldview, Oreki's impression of Giovanni is slightly better than that of the leaders of evil organizations in other regions.

At least one can see a trace of humanity that has not been extinguished in Sakaki, and the charismatic personality of a ruthless leader.

[Earth Incarnation: You don't want to? That's okay. Whenever you've changed your mind, you can come find me at the Viridian Gym.]

[Earth Incarnation: Getting Back to the Main Topic, How Much Do You Know About Fantasy Westward Journey?]

You have received a donation of 10 from user "大地化身|的Masterball".

[Earth Incarnation: That was just a greeting gift, this is chat credit, please don't misunderstand]

The problem now is no longer that I misunderstood!

Looking at the live stream that had once again climbed to the top of the hourly donation rankings, Oreki felt inexplicably uneasy.

If the truth comes out later, won't the league misunderstand?

wrong.

I'm just a lousy history teacher, how would I know that the legitimate gym leader is the leader of Team Rocket?

You expect me to know things that even your alliance doesn't know?

I'm a Mongolian drummer too!

Having figured this out, Oreki started typing.

Don't easily give up on a wealthy patron who comes knocking on your door.

[Oreki: I don't know much about it, only that it might be the ancestor of all Pokémon. Hmm—if I had to say, its move pool is very rich, and its strength—is unfathomable?]

Let's just say it's a symbolic gesture.

Ten Masterballs wouldn't be enough for him to say much.

[Earth Incarnation: It seems you do know some information after all]

[Earth Incarnation: So, one last question: If there were a Pokémon stronger than Mew, how would you get along with it?]

You're Sakaki, and you're asking me?

Oreki was speechless.

However, what he meant by asking this was—

Mewtwo has already been created?

Oreki fell into deep thought.

According to his understanding, there are actually different versions of Mewtwo.

The Mewtwo that made its comeback in the original movie and the Mewtwo that could autonomously evolve in the Genesect movie are from two different timelines.

Although both were created in the same way, being cloned by the Rockets using the Dream Gene.

But their subsequent experiences were quite different.

The former was bound by his own past and his mind was severely influenced by Giovanni. After serving as Giovanni's henchman for a period of time, he broke free from Giovanni's control and always wanted to take revenge on humanity.

The latter, having escaped Team Rocket's research facility earlier and received help from many Pokémon, is not so hostile towards humans. Instead, it helps Pokémon and humans escape danger.

"How am I supposed to answer that?"

Oreki was at a loss for words.

It's clearly unrealistic to talk about harmonious coexistence.

Giovanni might agree, but Mewtwo might not.

To say that he would forcibly control the other party would not align with his own inner thoughts.

not to mention.

Oreki didn't believe that Sakaki was genuinely asking for his opinion.

His current actions are more like a silent proclamation.

Or perhaps you simply want to find someone to chat with and pass the time—

After all, what I just mentioned was "chat fee" rather than "consultation fee".

[Oreki: First of all, this premise is meaningless to me. I will not change how I interact with Pokémon because of whether they are strong or not.]

After much hesitation, Oreki chose to follow his heart.

Earth Incarnation: Hahaha, quite the boast! No wonder you can fight against a Champion-level Pokémon, I admire you!

】

"Didn't Zhu Lan take down the live stream and related video clips from that day? How did it still reach the ears of the Rockets' leader?"

'

Although somewhat puzzled, Oreki still felt inexplicably pleased.

This is a compliment from Giovanni himself.

next second.

[Earth Incarnation: Then let's wish each other a pleasant collaboration in advance / handshake]

You have received a donation of 10 from user "大地化身|的Masterball".

???

cooperate? !

Who would want to work with you!

Stop talking to yourself, Rockets leader!

He frantically tapped his fingers.

[Oreki: It's not a collaboration; I'm just doing my part to help trainers in need!]

Sakaki did not reply.

Oreki breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, he immediately refuted it.

But can I still withdraw this money?

Looking at the balance of 13.5 Pokémon Coins waiting to be withdrawn, Oreki became conflicted.

The "young master" has arrived, but it also seems like he hasn't?

Before he could make a decision, his phone vibrated again.

Look at the notification bar at the top.

"Hmm? Qishu? Another night owl."

Open the chat software.

[Mom's Amazing Talk: Senior, is Kanaz Academy going to have a Golden Week holiday?]

[Oreki: Yes, starting tomorrow]

[Mom's Amazing Tree: Waaah~ I'm so envious]

You're not envious at all.

They've already graduated!

Yes, Orange Academy doesn't have the concept of a Golden Week.

A school related to Tokyo, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh will have a Golden Week holiday.

[Oreki: So, what's up so late?]

[Mommy's Wonderful Tree: The academy's anniversary celebration is on the 1st of next month, and President Yeci asked me to invite you to attend.]

[Mommy's Wonder Tree: Hehe~ Oreki-senpai, you don't want me to say to President Yaji that you deliberately disrespected her, do you?]

Oreki: ? Who exactly popularized this kind of grammatical structure?!
