That running speed was way too outrageous!?
It was almost impossible to catch her trail with the naked eye!
At first, Hiko thought it was this exceptionally gifted Buneary using Quick Attack.
But after thinking it through—
There was no way Quick Attack could reach that kind of speed.
That was Extre Speed!
Extre Speed!?
An Entry-level beginner Pokémon that was only Level 2 using Extre Speed!?
Hiko froze.
Even she had never seen sothing like this before!
Just how high did her talent and potential have to be
to pull sothing off this incredible!?
My god!
I have to capture this Buneary and make her my partner!
As soone who had returned after being reborn,
Hiko knew sothing from her previous life.
Back then,
soone had once made a world-shaking discovery in so Pokémon Ruins—
ga Stones that could let certain specific Pokémon, believed to already be at their final forms, evolve one more ti through ga Evolution!
A ga-Evolved Pokémon!
So strong that it had already surpassed the category of ordinary Pokémon!
Even a Third-tier Legendary
could be held off for a while!
An absolute king within its species!
And Buneary's evolved form, Lopunny,
was one of the Pokémon capable of ga Evolution!
As for the Ruins that held Lopunny's ga Stone—
she just happened to rember exactly where they were!
That was why
she was so obsessed with this exceptionally gifted Buneary.
Thinking of that,
she couldn't help glancing at Shiko again.
She also knew where the Charizard ga Stone was.
But—
if Shiko kept acting this lazy and slack,
then in this lifeti,
he'd probably never get the chance to use that stone anyway.
Shiko didn't notice Hiko's gaze.
Right now,
his attention had also shifted to Buneary.
Tch!
No wonder she had Elite Four-level potential.
That Extre Speed looked ridiculous.
Shiko held his bowl,
eating Pokéblocks while sighing in amazent.
A Pokémon's dynamic vision was much better than a human's.
But even so,
he was only doing a little better than Hiko—
he could barely track Buneary's silhouette, that was all.
[Ding, special reward triggered…]
[Lucky Day buff triggered! Through careful observation, congratulations to the host for comprehending the new skill: Extre Speed!]
...
The system's electronic tone sounded.
Shiko's hand holding the spoon paused.
Huh?
No way.
He just watched for a bit,
and he learned the move?
This…
So it really is a Lucky Day!
His luck today really wasn't bad!
A surge of information poured into his mind.
Shiko felt his understanding of speed deepen.
His legs swelled slightly,
and the outlines of his muscles looked a bit more defined.
When he raised his head again,
watching Buneary's happily running figure—
he could now precisely capture her movents.
"Shubi, shubi!"
Buneary finally wore herself out,
then ran back to Shiko's side
and called to him affectionately.
"Not bad. Looks like that wound isn't a problem anymore."
Shiko smiled.
He reached out his palm
and patted her fluffy long ears.
"Shubi!"
Buneary's face flushed bright red from Shiko's gentle, intimate gesture. Her heart raced as she let out a shy little cry.
Seeing this scene,
Hiko suddenly understood everything.
This was one hundred percent Buneary falling for Shiko!
No wonder she kept sticking to him!
Shiko's charm really was sothing else.
She'd only been gone for a short while,
and he'd already gained a little fangirl—
and one with such absurd talent, too.
Hiko sighed inwardly.
For so reason, she felt inexplicably sour.
Not just sour that Shiko's charm was that strong—
but also a bit sour that Buneary and Shiko were being so intimate.
"Buneary, are you willing to beco my companion and grow and battle together with ?"
Hiko held a Poké Ball
and walked up to Buneary,
asking softly.
"Shubi…"
Buneary's impression of Hiko was pretty good,
since she was the one who healed her injuries.
But—
whether to be captured,
to beco a Trainer's Pokémon…
Buneary still hesitated.
She wrung her little hands together,
wearing a conflicted, thinking expression.
"Shiko is my Pokémon too, you know. If you're willing to beco my companion, then you can be with him—"
Hiko tried to build the connection.
But before she could finish,
Buneary took the initiative and bumped the Poké Ball's button herself,
turning into a red beam and entering it on her own!
The ball didn't even struggle once.
Eh?
What?
Hiko stared at the Poké Ball in her hand and blinked.
Seriously—
the mont she ntioned Shiko,
Buneary didn't even consider it?
She just dove right in.
Won in love were terrifying!
Off to the side, Shiko watched and nodded slightly.
Buneary being captured by Hiko
was probably the best outco for now.
After all, for a cute little fangirl like Buneary,
Shiko did like her quite a lot.
As for whether he should "date" Buneary…
Honestly,
Shiko had no experience with that.
And he wasn't ntally prepared either.
He'd have to see whether the feelings could really get there later on.
"Great! I finally captured her!"
Hiko let out a breath of relief.
Looking at the Poké Ball in her hand,
her face was full of joy.
She waved it at Shiko,
stuck out her tongue, and made a playful face.
With this Buneary,
passing the Entry-level Trainer Exam would absolutely be no problem!
And she wouldn't need to count on Shiko, that lazy lump, anymore!
"Co out! Buneary!"
Hiko pressed the Poké Ball's button
and released Buneary,
planning to build so rapport first.
"Shubi, shubi!"
But unexpectedly—
after coming out,
Buneary didn't even spare Hiko a glance. She bounced and hopped straight toward Shiko, pouncing on him!
