August 15th, Saturday.
The Public Challenge Tournant had just ended, and the school team had no imdiate plans. Despite being on the verge of owing 7 million Pokémon Coins, Natsu decided that sleeping in was more important. Besides, cuddling with Eevee was just too comfortable.
Taking advantage of the weekend, Natsu indulged in a rare lazy morning, happily holding Eevee.
"Eevee…"
Eevee put up a token struggle before eventually dozing off as well.
"Ding ding ding—"
The alarm rang at noon.
The sun was high, and the day was bright. Natsu threw off the covers.
"Eevee…" Eevee curled up, using its tiny paws to block the sunlight, letting out a small whine of displeasure.
Natsu rubbed Eevee's little head, grinning foolishly, when suddenly his phone vibrated.
"Hey, Kazuya," Natsu yawned. "What's up?"
Kazuya's voice was filled with excitent:
"Have you checked the ORAS backend?! Our data just exploded! We made over a million Pokémon Coins in one go!"
Natsu was stunned.
Lately, Plants vs. Zombies had been receiving great feedback, but the traffic hadn't been keeping up. Making over a million Pokémon Coins ant nearly a hundred thousand purchases...
But without any money for promotion, where did this sudden surge of users co from?
"Calm down, there might be a data error," Natsu said calmly.
Even if it was just a drop in the bucket, making a million Pokémon Coins was still worth celebrating. But first, he needed to verify the authenticity of the news.
Kazuya swallowed hard, trying to steady himself.
As expected of Brother Natsu... a million Pokémon Coins and he acts like it's nothing!
"I guess... I was overreacting."
Kazuya spoke seriously: "While you were competing, soone posted a promotional tweet on Twitter."
Natsu poured himself a cup of coffee, stirring it with a spoon. "Hmm... go on..."
"The person seems to be one of your ga followers, with nearly 20 million followers."
"Their last tweet was a year ago during the Oscars, and now they're promoting us!"
Kazuya's voice grew more excited, his tone rising:
"It's Sinnoh Champion Cynthia! She's promoting Plants vs. Zombies!"
"Pfft—" Natsu coughed, the coffee suddenly burning his tongue. He dropped his phone and hopped around in pain.
Kazuya was impressed.
Even with such big news, Brother Natsu remains unfazed...
No wonder he's close with the vice president of Devon Corp!
Natsu sucked in a breath, his tongue still tingling, as he picked up his phone again. "No way... really?"
Last ti, I was just joking with Cynthia... Did she really promote ?
Wouldn't this cause her any trouble?
"You can see it on Twitter's hopage, several big nas have already retweeted it!"
Kazuya chuckled: "We're going to be rich, Brother Natsu!"
Natsu was montarily stunned.
Getting rich wasn't the goal; paying off the debt was all Natsu wanted.
But now... it seems like he owes Cynthia a huge favor!
After hanging up, Natsu opened Twitter and clicked on the golden-haired beauty's profile.
The first tweet on her page was about the ga.
"Really fun ga, the author asked to promote it. @Natsu-sensei, Are You Serving Dinner Today?"
"Attached: Plants vs. Zombies"
Natsu was lost in thought.
Her last tweet was a year ago, celebrating Diantha's Oscar win.
After such a long silence, her return to social dia was to promote a ga based on a joke...
Natsu clutched his chest, muttering:
"Why is my heart beating so fast?"
The comnts from netizens were hilarious.
"This ga is way too hard! My brain is about to be eaten by Cofagrigus!"
"Crazy Dave is a Grass-type master? His Venusaur doesn't even know Sleep Powder!"
"I thought it was an official announcent, but then I saw the ID... Natsu-sensei!"
"Natsu-sensei, you're killing ! Oh, it's a sponsored post? Never mind then!"
Cynthia's return to Twitter caused quite a stir.
Combined with the high quality of Plants vs. Zombies, the ga's sales on ORAS skyrocketed.
With 20 million followers, converting to 100,000 genuine users in just a few hours was an impressive feat.
Of course, it couldn't compare to the traffic stars of his previous life, where fans would sell their blood to buy albums.
Otherwise, Natsu-sensei's net worth would probably be in the billions by now.
Putting down his phone, Natsu-sensei fell into deep thought.
After a year-long hiatus, her first tweet was about a ga.
Well... that's Cynthia for you!
At this rate, by the end of the month, the ORAS platform could see nearly 3 million in revenue.
Even though he still owes Cynthia 5 million, it's enough to pay off the other debts!
He might even be able to reward himself by getting gifts for Eevee and Squirtle!
Natsu-sensei suddenly let out a long sigh: "I really miss her..."
"Hmm? Maybe I can make another ga and play it with her!"
Natsu-sensei slapped his forehead, deciding that his next ga would be a multiplayer one.
After all, with limited liquid funds, large-scale PC gas were out of the question. Single-player gas were the way to go for quick profits.
Plus, single-player IPs could be adapted into mobile gas, killing two birds with one stone!
Natsu didn't plan to bother Cynthia directly.
Everyone has their own life path.
That's why the monts when their paths cross are so touching.
In the afternoon.
Natsu-sensei called the manager who had delivered the items last ti.
"Huh? Mr. Natsu, are you buying more items?" The manager was overjoyed.
Natsu gritted his teeth: "This is the last ti, absolutely no more after this!"
The manager paused, then laughed: "I understand, I understand!"
In Sabrina's Calm Mind manuals, the quality requirents for Dawn Stones were even higher.
The manager promised to keep an eye out for Natsu and notify him as soon as one was available at auction.
Natsu stroked his chin, his expression changing slightly.
Even though the total value was around 2 million Pokémon Coins...
Rarity drives up prices, and Dawn Stones at auctions weren't sothing that could be solved with just 2 million Pokémon Coins!
Could this be Sabrina's real goal?!
"Whatever."
Natsu comforted himself: "I made so extra money today, so I'll treat myself!"
Dinner was a berry salad and a pan-seared steak.
Haunter, wearing sunglasses, led Squirtle back from the Training Club, looking like a real big brother.
Haunter & Squirtle: ヾ(??■_■)
"Haunter? (￣▽￣)／" (Is dinner ready?)
Natsu glanced at them: "Wash your hands first!"
The pleasant day passed by.
Natsu instinctively opened Pokémon: Battle, staring at the empty friends list.
A beeping sound alerted him to a new ssage, and Natsu's heart skipped a beat.
Gold: Wanna play?
Natsu-sensei: Get lost!
Gold wiped his nose angrily.
Fine, no need to be so rude!
Natsu-sensei zoned out for two hours.
As midnight approached, Natsu yawned, about to log off.
Suddenly, the golden-haired loli's avatar lit up at the bottom of his screen.
Cabbage Ice Cream: Wanna play?
Natsu-sensei: Sure.
Natsu thought, perhaps this was the point where their parallel lines connected.
"The money I owe you might take a while to pay back."
Natsu sighed: "I still have to take care of those three little ones, prepare manuals, buy items, and train Haunter..."
Natsu rambled on like a worried father, feeling a sudden wave of exhaustion.
The golden-haired beauty paused for a mont, then smiled softly.
"Okay."
