The Youth Tournant of the Touran Conference has finally co to an end.
The finals broadcast on Nico Dou sparked waves of astonishnt.
"Can you really sweep the entire team with a baby team?"
"Natsu-sensei is showing off! Let's go after him, bros!"
"This is too brutal, Natsu-sensei is just too inhuman!"
The view count surpassed ten million, and a massive audience was funneled to Natsu-sensei's Nico Dou account.
Invitations from dia and advertisers ca pouring in.
The endorsent offers even made Natsu a bit nervous.
"No wonder Leon hangs so many logos on his cape," Natsu muttered. "Making money is really profitable!"
Despite this, Natsu stuck to his usual style of "not taking endorsents."
If I can endorse myself, why bother with others' offers?
On the dia front, the low-key Natsu-sensei only accepted an interview from his old friend, Tokyo Evening News.
Natsu's exact words were: "Just a normal performance..."
"Everyone showed their style and level..."
That night, Tokyo Evening News headlined with: [Natsu-sensei: At the Level of the Youth Tournant, But Not at My Level]
The subtitle read: [High School Domination, Sweeping the Entire Team, Natsu-sensei's Normal Performance]
Natsu's temple twitched.
I really wanted to keep a low profile...
Has your newspaper always been this good at reading comprehension?
But with the heated discussions ca a lot of BP, which could be exchanged for so delicious Berries.
Natsu wiped his drool and reluctantly nodded.
...
September 18th, Friday.
Before he could even return ho, Natsu first went with Coach Takashi to the Trainer Academy at Tokyo tropolitan University.
They were there to pick up the [Iron Defense] move manual.
"Are you sure... all I have to do is get hit?" Natsu asked uneasily, repeatedly.
"It's endurance," Coach Takashi corrected.
"Of course, pairing it with items like tal Coat or Steel Gem will make the effect more noticeable."
Natsu breathed a sigh of relief.
tal Coat was definitely out of his budget, but Steel Gem could be exchanged.
Training for [Iron Defense] wasn't urgent.
Squirtle was steady as ever; it could just take its ti to practice.
Under Coach Takashi's recomndation, Natsu also t with Forr Principal Hiroshi of Tokyo tropolitan University.
Hiroshi stroked his beard and smiled, advising Natsu to train Squirtle well.
Natsu complained inwardly: Training... isn't sothing I can control!
Every morning, my Pokémon wake up with a new move on their list...
Is that my fault?
"By the way... I have a gift for you," Hiroshi said.
"It's sothing I won from a bet with Principal Kenji from Kyoto—a handwritten manual for [Ice Punch], which is considered a secret technique even at the Gym level."
"Your Squirtle seems to lack an Ice-type move to cover its weaknesses, so this should help."
Natsu was stunned, his expression complex.
Forr Principal, why are you so invested in ?
With Squirtle's steady personality, if it masters [Ice Punch], wouldn't it be like punching out the BGM of Justice Execution?
"I rember Senior Kenji's [Ice Punch] training thod was quite complicated, right?" Coach Takashi said in surprise.
Kenji's Swampert had made a na for itself with [Ice Punch].
Even the manual was swindled by the Forr Principal. He really must think highly of Natsu.
Hiroshi stroked his beard and nodded. "It's complicated, but not that complicated... It just requires a lot of Never-lt Ice and Ice Stone assistance."
Training Pokémon is like cultivating immortality. No matter how great the technique, without rare resources, it's useless.
Natsu's temple twitched, and a sense of unease crept into his heart.
"To train to Principal Kenji's level, a few million Pokémon Coins should cover it," Hiroshi said, stroking his beard.
A few million Pokémon Coins?
Natsu was stunned.
Principal, you can say that, but why are you cursing ?
"Natsu just won 2 million Pokémon Coins," Coach Takashi said with a laugh. "It's just a small amount."
I still owe several million Pokémon Coins.
And you call that a small amount?!
Natsu glanced at the Poké Ball swaying at his waist.
Squirtle seed to be quite excited.
A drop of cold sweat instantly rolled down Natsu's forehead.
Natsu looked at the two kind-faced, eager seniors and felt a shiver in his heart.
The 2 million Pokémon Coins prize money is in danger!!
...
Aside from [Ice Punch] and [Iron Defense], Coach Takashi also generously gifted Natsu a [Double Team] manual as a reward.
"Don't be shy," Coach Takashi said with a big laugh. "You earned this!"
Natsu: "Thank you so much!"
Complaints aside, [Double Team] didn't seem like a move with high expenses; in fact, it seed quite common.
While it boosts evasion, judging from a certain talkative ninja's track record, shadow clones can also be used for offense.
From the ani's portrayal, [Double Team] even seems more useful than [Substitute]...
Natsu rubbed his chin and muttered, "If Haunter learns it... wouldn't household chores beco easier?"
Not only that.
Once Haunter learns it, it can teach Sylveon, and even other Pokémon...
"Brilliant!" Natsu's eyes lit up, and he patted his own shoulder.
"Truly a training genius, Natsu-sensei!"
...
This trip to the Baby Cup turned out to be far more rewarding than Natsu-sensei had expected.
But the subsequent training costs for the moves were another astronomical figure.
As Natsu walked ho, he calculated his inco and expenses, his heart sinking.
"More expenses than inco..."
Although he had two hit gas, they had only been on the market for a month or two.
Being able to repay Steven's debt was already a blessing.
As for Cynthia's 5 million Pokémon Coins, who knows when that will be paid off.
"Whatever... money cos and goes."
Natsu rallied himself, comforting himself.
"As long as I work hard, I'll eventually pay off the debt, one day..."
Before he could finish the word "day," Natsu, walking back to his neighborhood, looked up at his newly moved-in house.
His pupils contracted, his body trembled, and his hands and feet turned cold.
"Hiss—" Natsu sucked in a cold breath.
After just three days of competition.
Damn it, my house got robbed?!
...
Natsu looked at the giant hole in the second-floor wall.
He took a deep breath, repeatedly telling himself to stay calm.
Slowly pushing open the door, Growlithe imdiately ran over, following his scent.
"Growlithe!!"
The plump Growlithe leaped at Natsu, its long tongue flinging drool.
Natsu sidestepped, nervously scanning the room.
Growlithe missed its leap and let out a whine, its eyes full of resentnt.
"Oh, you're back," Misaki-neesan turned around and said. "I saw you weren't ho, so I thought I'd do so redecorating."
Natsu was stunned, looking around.
Although the style was similar to the original, the faint scorch marks on the ceiling and walls seed to reveal sothing...
"Haunter..."
Haunter's eyes welled up with tears as it looked at Misaki-neesan, who was taking the bla for them.
It slowly floated out, poking its fingers together, head lowered, sneaking glances at Natsu.
A look of guilt.
Seeing this, Natsu roughly understood what had happened.
"Thank you for taking care of them," Natsu said helplessly. "I'll cover the redecorating costs."
"It's just a small amount," Misaki-neesan waved her hand, covering her mouth. "But Growlithe learned a new move!"
"Growlithe!" Growlithe sat on the ground, its eyes filled with wisdom.
Natsu was slightly stunned, discreetly glancing at his Pokédex.
Looking at the move list and Haunter's proud face, Natsu's heart trembled.
When Growlithe learned [Fla Wheel]...
The thing I least wanted to happen.
It finally happened!
