I'm a Pokémon Master from School City (by mistake)

That's not a good idea.

"Yes," Chiyo nodded and said, "I know."

She was also having a lot of headaches.

This person is different from Kaito Hatsuya. Although both are equally foolish and prone to taking their anger out on others, the difference is that Kaito Hatsuya did too much and left enough evidence, directly solving the core issue of 'how he suddenly became stronger in a short period of time'. This girl, on the other hand, genuinely didn't leave enough evidence.

There were no cameras or witnesses at the scene. Even if you wanted to use footprints as evidence, the place was a concrete road, and footprints made of dust would have disappeared long ago.

More importantly, she didn't hurt anyone; her actions were more like a prank.

In my previous life, at most I would have faced civil liability...

Chiyo glanced at Kuroko and Mikoto again.

"Never mind," Chiyo forced herself to suppress her anger, realizing she had really been careless this time.

Consider it a lesson learned. In the future, I must stay far away from people like this to avoid getting myself splattered with blood.

Hmm, that's a bit much.

Chiyo patted Mikoto on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, the incident will prove everything."

In any case, Mikoto will eventually solve the case with a flash of inspiration.

"Huh?" Mikoto asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to investigate anymore?"

When I was in the medical room just now, Chiyo's face was terribly gloomy, and I had a feeling that she was about to rush out and start a fight at any moment.

She wanted to say a few more words of advice, so why did she give up now?

“Someone will investigate later.” Chiyo shrugged, not wanting to say much, but after thinking for a moment, she reminded him, “I don’t know this girl. If she is indeed the one who attacked me, then certain physical characteristics of me are the reason why she targeted me. She may have been provoked and did this out of some kind of revenge.”

"So once she's done it with me, she'll definitely do it again. The thrill and catharsis of a successful revenge is the greatest succubus, and it will attract her to do it again and again."

"So you think she'll keep doing it?" Mikoto shook her head and said, "According to your logic, physical characteristics and such, then I'll be the next victim?"

If that's the case, it's actually quite good. As a Level 5 Railgun, I'm not afraid of electric shock guns at all, and I can capture this person on the spot.

“No.” Chiyo shook her head and said, “Physical characteristics can be appearance or clothing.”

After saying that, Chiyo glanced at Kuroko and thought for a moment before saying, "Actually, you can go online to watch some serial case investigations. Many YouTubers talk about it. Although it's not as good as looking at the case files directly, if you look closely, you'll find that the victims of these serial cases are not random, but not entirely random. There must be a connection between them. For example, they might be wearing similar clothes at a certain time and place."

"Even in some major, unsolved serial cases, the victims are not entirely isolated; each victim has one connection or another."

Hmm, I think that's enough about that, right?

Is there any way to improve it?

Chiyo said, "Let's get the paperwork done, I have to go back."

She didn't want to stay here any longer; today had been an absolutely terrible day. She planned to go back to the hospital after completing her onboarding procedures and go to the Pokémon world to find something that would make her happy.

For example, tricking Team Rocket into going to fight Ash.

It would be great if I could accidentally catch some other rare Pokémon, or a Pokémon with extraordinary potential.

In any case, Chiyo doesn't plan to join the fun in the Naruto world anytime soon.

Jiraiya may or may not be a good teacher. She remembers that whether he was teaching Naruto or Yahiko, Jiraiya had always done things like leaving people aside and not caring about them.

And this old man is a womanizer; he can be easily seduced and run away.

I must improve my own abilities.

As the saying goes, no one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first, but you must be fully prepared.

If an unexpected event occurs first, then you must have the ability to withstand the risk.

After completing the formalities, Chiyo quickly returned to the hospital.

So many things happened in one day that she was so tired that she fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.

I just fell asleep and entered a dream.

"Ok?"

Chiyo suddenly frowned; today's choice was a little different.

Why has the world of Pokémon turned gray?

Chapter 45 The Reward Turns into a Debt

The options in the Pokémon world have turned gray.

'How is this going? '

Chiyo immediately tensed up.

Is there something wrong with me in the Pokémon world?

'quit!'

Let's not go to the Naruto world yet, let's exit and see what's going on.

Based on past experience, as long as you silently say "exit" in your mind, you will enter a true sleep and then wake up by your own will.

Chiyo kept repeating it to herself for a long time, but there was no response.

'How is this going? '

Chiyo frowned; it seemed there was only one option left.

I've entered the Naruto world.

This has never happened before.

this...

'Enter the Naruto World'

Chiyo made her choice without hesitation.

Instead of making pointless analyses here, let's go into that other world.

A hotel in a small town on the border of the land of fields.

"Ah~"

Chiyo was jolted awake from a nightmare.

[Ding~ Sign-in successful, received sign-in gift pack.]

[Host, do you want to open the gift pack? (N/Y)]

As the rollercoaster feeling subsided, the system's voice appeared in her mind, but Chiyo had no time to pay attention to it.

Today was different from usual; upon waking up, I could feel that I had adapted to the world much better.

Based on experience in the Pokémon world, it takes at least half a month to fully adapt.

But this time, from the time I met Jiraiya until today, it has only been seven days.

Although it's not quite that feeling of being refreshed yet, it's much better than the previous state of being completely out of it.

But now is not the time to care.

Chiyo immediately took out her Poké Ball.

"I choose you! Meow!"

Release your cat as soon as possible.

"Meow?" Meow seems to be sleeping, looking sleepy.

It seemed a little confused when Chiyo called it that directly.

He rubbed his eyes, stretched lazily, and said, "Hey, you're not planning to start special training this early, are you?"

"Special training?"

Chiyo frowned slightly. She had indeed made some plans and started training Team Rocket when she left the Pokémon Dream.

They say it's special training...

Well, at least that's not how Chiyo sees it.

This is daily training, which trains the Pokémon's physical abilities, reflexes, and skills, while also fostering the bond between the trainer and the Pokémon.

Special training, on the other hand, requires an initial assessment, followed by periodic training based on the assessment results.

“This isn’t special training,” Chiyo said, frowning. “It’s just routine training.”

"Meow?!" Upon hearing this, the sleepy-eyed meow was startled and stared wide-eyed at Chiyo, saying, "Then...then you called me here for special training, meow?"

“No.” Chiyo shook her head.

Chiyo originally wanted to ask if something had happened in the Pokémon world, but judging from Meowth's expression, nothing seemed to have happened in the Pokémon world.

Both situations seem somewhat similar: one cannot exit and return to the world of Academy City, and the other cannot.

So, the problem was caused by your own system?

Chiyo scrutinized Meow Meow again. It didn't seem panicked at all, nor did it show any nervousness about having done something wrong. Its eyes and face were full of its original, innocent naivety.

At least for now, the Rockets' squad seems to be fine.

“We need some protection,” Chiyo said, changing the subject. “This isn’t the same place as before; it’s dangerous. We need some Pokémon that can provide early warnings.”

Cat Demon Pokémon, belonging to the cat family.

Theoretically speaking, felines have excellent situational awareness and are very alert, so this should be fine, right?

"Speaking of which," Chiyo asked casually, "has your boss assigned you any tasks lately?"

"Arrangements, meow?" Meow was a little confused again. It crossed its arms and said impatiently, "Nothing's been going on lately, meow? The boss just told us to listen to you."

"How long has it been? I just fell asleep an hour or two ago. Even if there were other plans, they wouldn't give me this much."

Of course, emergency missions are an exception.

But Meow Meow didn't say that it didn't think their team would have any urgent missions given their current situation and level.

"An hour or two?" Chiyo frowned slightly, and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure?"

A whole day has passed in the world of Academy City, while only an hour or two has passed in the world of Pokémon?

"Ah~" Meow Meow yawned and said, "I'm not entirely sure, but I can guarantee it, meow, it'll be at most four hours, meow~ Anyway, there's still a long way to go before dawn, meow~"

Judging from how much the cat was panting, Chiyo was certain that the cat wasn't lying.

Things are different now.

It's not entirely certain how much time has passed in the Pokémon world, but it's certain that the time conversion has changed. Furthermore, based on Meowth's condition, we can infer that the Pokémon world is functioning normally and everything is fine.

Based on the information currently available, it seems the system intentionally brought her into this world.

'Is the system no longer so laid-back?'

Previously, the system's presence was extremely weak; its guidance was practically nonexistent, and its interference with one's actions was essentially nonexistent.

But this time, the system actually started interfering with my choice to enter that dream.

How is this going?

Upgrade? Fix? Or has the system's main functions caught up?

Chiyo quickly offered three hypotheses based on her previous experience reading books.

If the system isn't laid-back.

So, can we expect some rewards for this sign-in event?

'Open!'

Chiyo silently recited this in her heart.

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have obtained an explosive tag *-∞, which will be automatically stored in your dream space.]

"what?!"

Chiyo looked at the reward and was immediately confused.

She recognized the detonator tag, and she also knew what the infinity symbol represented, but the price—that left Chiyo a bit confused.
