Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

Chapter 89 The Bond Between Us

night.

Led by Qishu, Oreki led the three Pokémon to the tallest building in Nimbus City, which was also the hotel where they were staying.

I really got to experience the million-volt night view.

During his years of studying and researching in Padiya, he never actually experienced the "Ten Views of Padiya".

The night view of Nijigasaki City is much more spectacular than in the game.

I imagine the remaining nine scenic spots are just as impressive.

From the observation deck at the top floor, look down to the 24th floor.

Oreki and Kiju bid each other farewell and agreed to go to the Orange Academy in Takata City together at eight o'clock the next morning to attend the anniversary celebration.

Back in the hotel room.

Tire Cat skillfully circled the room, leaving her scent in every corner before running back to Oreki, lying down on the ground, and wagging her tail.

Understanding the other party's meaning, Oreki took out the Lava Dragon Jewel and threw it over.

Knowing that the Lava Dragon Gem will most likely strengthen Tire Meow's body, I'm not too worried about it becoming obsessed with playing with it.

If something is beneficial, then it should be called edutainment.

Maybe—

When instructing Kirulian to be careful of the little blacksmith while he was taking a horse stance, he began to examine the rock slabs.

Just like this morning, it's so ordinary that no one would pick it up if it were thrown outside, except for some people with special fetishes.

In comparison, the Fireball Stone Tablet, which was temporarily entrusted to Dr. Solans for safekeeping, seemed much more restless.

If it weren't stored in an energy-isolated box, an ordinary person would be drenched in sweat after staying around it for only a short time.

Even Tilley the cat, who loves heat, can't lie on the fireball stone slab to sleep for long.

This clearly demonstrates the power of the Fireball Stone Slab.

Therefore, the Chimney Mountain incident was suspicious not only because of the tremor at the beginning of the year, but also because the reason why the Fireball Slab suddenly began to gather lava two years ago was highly suspicious.

Although Oreki always felt that these things were related to Team Magma or Team Aqua, no evidence has been found so far.

They didn't even see a single suspicious person.

"Wait, isn't this a good thing?"

Suddenly realizing this, Oreki looked at the three Pokémon inside the room.

The inactivity of Team Lava and Team Ocean indicates that they still have time to grow.

Having gone through the incident involving Nemo and Sakaki's private messages, he roughly understood the issue of the real-world timeline.

Putting aside any potential version differences, the timelines in different regions should be synchronized.

There is no situation where a major event occurred in the Kanto region first, and then in Padiya.

This means that major events may occur one after another in various regions within the next two to three years.

As for the order of events, he couldn't be sure.

We can only make a judgment based on the level of activity of evil organizations in different regions.

"I still need to train harder."

After making a remark, Oreki calmed down and began to reflect on himself.

After half a day, he could clearly feel the increase in his strength.

And he was very satisfied with the rate of increase.

At this rate, in 24 hours, he should be able to fight Cynthia's Garchomp in close combat with his bare hands.

They might even have the upper hand!

Finally, I can say that line: "Beyond the ancient times, I am invincible!"

Hmm—we can't yet achieve a one-for-one exchange beyond the ancient realm.

For a period of time afterward.

Oreki took out the move learning device he always carried with him.

There happened to be a TV and a projector in the room.

Kirullian and Tirecat each have a pet on one side.

The former continued watching instructional videos on Freeze Fist, while the latter watched Shadow Claw.

It's worth mentioning that Kirlia originally wanted to learn Ice Fist in the same way she learned Lightning Fist.

But to everyone's surprise, after visiting the berry stalls in Kanaz City several times, Tilley couldn't find any berries that could be made into frozen treats.

Left with no other choice, Oreki had to let it proceed step by step.

Currently.

Kirlia can now convert her psychic powers into ice-type abilities within her body.

At this time, the temperature around it will drop by a few degrees.

This seemingly progressing phenomenon appeared somewhat strange to Oreki.

To know.

Whether it's the Flame Fist or the Lightning Fist, the energy is highly concentrated when released, and there is no obvious overflow.

Clearly, Kirlia has chosen the wrong path.

At first, Oreki thought that with her experience in using Fire Fist and Lightning Fist, Kirlia should be able to easily learn Ice Fist.

But the facts now tell him that this is not the case.

Each Pokémon has a different affinity for different types.

For example, Tillie is naturally sensitive to superpowers, but asking it to learn water-based moves is nothing short of a pipe dream.

The same applies to Kirlia.

Perhaps because it was born with magical fire, it is not good at controlling ice energy.

This is a "shortcoming" that even the best move learner cannot make up for.

"Kirlia, try to suppress the ice-type energy back using your psychic powers."

After thinking it over, Oreki spoke up to offer a reminder.

This might have been difficult before, but after taking the potion for several days in a row, Kirlia gradually revealed the charm of her powerful mental strength.

It can control enormous superpowers with minimal mental effort.

This allows for a unique form of "multitasking".

When unleashing other moves, they can use their superpowers to provide maximum support.

Similar to Tire Cat's Quick Attack, it uses superpowers to increase speed, but the effect is stronger.

After all, it's a superpower expert.

Upon hearing this...

Kirlian no longer insists on following the old path of Lightning Fist.

He diverted a sliver of his mind to control his superpowers, suppressing all the overflowing ice-attribute abilities back into his body.

"strange--"

Ice-attribute energy surged into her body, causing Kirlia to shiver violently.

It certainly doesn't like the cold.

Tire Cat, standing to the side, was also shaking with excitement.

Meow, it looks so cold.

Although it is not afraid of the cold, it has a strange illusion of "sense sharing".

Silently pausing the teaching video, it created some distance and hugged the Lava Dragon Jade in its arms even tighter.

After a while.

Kirlia finally managed to suppress all the ice-type energy into its right fist.

"Chiru?"

It turned its head to look at the trainer.

What should we do next?

What should I do?

Oreki paused for a moment.

It wasn't that he was stumped by the question.

At this moment, he truly understood why it is said that a trainer's talent for nurturing can affect the growth potential of a Pokémon.

Every Pokémon has its strengths and weaknesses.

Many trainers can probably do what they do best.

But the ability to overcome weaknesses might be the dividing line between talented and untalented trainers.

Part Six of "Origami Training Notes"

Without much thought, Oreki put down the rock slab and walked up to Kirlia.

"Slowly throw a punch at me, and remember that feeling."

Kirullian nodded, gritted her teeth, and swung her right fist.

Although it can convert ice-attribute energy, at this moment only a small portion of the ice-attribute energy on its right fist originates from within its body.

Most of it is spillover.

This means that it is also suffering from freezing damage.

If it weren't for its unreasonable patience, this half-frozen fist would probably have collapsed by now.

boom.

A fist radiating coldness touched the trainer's palm.

Kirlian closed her eyes and carefully sensed it.

Unlike the night of Thunder Fist, where the electric arcs raged entirely inside the body.

This time, there is ice-attribute energy both inside and outside.

What it needs to do is to convert external ice-attribute energy into its own.

soon.

It retracted its right fist, then slowly swung it out again.

It stopped when it touched the trainer's warm palm.

And so on and on.

Sudden.

Oreki winked at Tilley, who was in the distance.

"Meow—?"

After thinking for a while, Tire Cat realized what was happening and quietly walked closer.

He slowly brought the Lava Dragon Gem in his arms closer to Kirlia's right fist.

At this moment, Oreki spoke again.

"Don't worry about the outside world. For now, you just need to control the ice-attribute energy within your body."

呲!

Under the influence of the thermal energy of the Lava Dragon Gem, Kirlia's right fist, which was covered in ice, gradually melted into water.

Tick, tick.

"Kanon?"

Not far away, the little blacksmith, who had originally planned to secretly knock the bed leg off, heard the noise, hesitated for a moment, and then used his short legs to lift the trash can under Kirlia's fist.

Upon seeing this.

Oreki immediately smiled.

Perhaps this little guy isn't as naughty as I thought?

Then look at their current situation.

One person has two Pokémon, both working hard for Kirlia's Ice Punch.

like--

Even if I couldn't learn the Ice Fist, I gained other things too—
