October 6th, Sunday.
Natsu was having a rare, sweet dream. He dread he was lying on an Alcremie covered in powdered sugar, ready to feast.
When he opened his eyes, he found Sylveon's ribbon pinned under him, its azure eyes glaring at him with a mix of annoyance and accusation.
"Sylveon! (#｀皿｀)??"
To apologize, Natsu offered his arm, and the little one imdiately rested its head on it, looking much more comfortable.
"Sylveon! o(｀^｀)o"
The chandelier on the ceiling flickered as Gengar swung from it, swaying back and forth.
Natsu's expression shifted slightly as he muttered, "I hope that thing doesn't fall while I'm sleeping..."
Even though Gengar looked like a gas, it still weighed 40.5 kg!
"Gengar?" Gengar woke up, levitating in mid-air before dropping onto the bed, bouncing back up to its feet.
"Gengar!" Gengar stood with its hands on its hips, greeting Natsu with a cheerful good morning.
"Morning," Natsu said, patting its head. "Take Growlithe out for a walk!"
Gengar saluted and headed out with Growlithe, looking every bit like a patrolling security guard.
The old security guard at the door stretched lazily, and upon seeing Gengar, he nodded in approval.
After their walk, Natsu had already prepared a full breakfast.
Fresh orange juice, perfectly poached eggs, and crispy toasted ham sandwiches...
"Gengar! (￣～￣)"
"Rember to sign for the delivery this afternoon," Natsu reminded.
The cards needed for training [Psychic] had already been ordered through Devon Corporation's channels.
Thanks to various transportation Pokémon, logistics had beco much more convenient, especially for the "last mile."
...
In the afternoon, the doorbell rang.
Amid the sound of Sylveon's hamster wheel spinning noisily, Gengar opened the door, curiously eyeing the delivery guy.
The delivery guy wore a dark uniform and a cap, looking eerily similar to a Team Rocket grunt...
"Rocket Delivery," the delivery guy said, handing the package to Gengar. "Don't forget to leave a five-star review!"
"Gengar!" Gengar gave a thumbs-up, grinning widely.
Natsu-sensei's expression turned odd as he watched the delivery guy hurry off.
Are these guys really not Team Rocket mbers moonlighting as delivery personnel?
Opening his phone, Natsu looked up the company and his expression grew subtle.
Opening his phone, Natsu looked up the company and his expression grew微妙.
[Rocket Delivery: Rocket-fast delivery speed. Rocket Delivery, your urgent choice.]
This thing... is actually a legitimate company?!
According to the company's public records, it had a proper business license.
It seed the rumors about Team Rocket having legitimate projects weren't unfounded...
Natsu scratched his head, suddenly realizing:
Does this an I won't have to pay for delivery fees anymore?!
Being a high-ranking Executive in Team Rocket sure has its perks!
But from a long-term perspective, transitioning into the service industry was a good move for Team Rocket's transformation...
Opening the package, Natsu checked the items, his chest tightening with each one: "Psychic Gem, Bright Powder, Dawn Stone..."
The worst part was that these were all one-ti-use items, unlike move manuals that could be reused.
With each item he pulled out, Natsu felt his breathing grow heavier.
"It's fine..." Natsu reassured himself. "Once Gengar learns it, it can teach the move to other Pokémon..."
...
In the afternoon, Natsu decided to accompany Gengar to the Bull Club for training.
Since mastering [Psychic] was a crucial step for Gengar to learn levitation, Natsu-sensei was quite invested in its training.
Gengar's evolution drew gasps of amazent from everyone at the club.
Soon, Nanami and the receptionists surrounded Gengar, patting and petting it from all sides.
Gengar blushed, scratching its head awkwardly. "Gengar! o(////▽////)q"
The training session involved a battle with Nanami, the granddaughter of the old security guard and an Elite-level Trainer.
"Arbok, use Crunch!"
The patterned Arbok reared up, striking with lightning speed, its fangs glinting nacingly.
"Try to levitate," Natsu commanded. "Use Psychic!"
A faint pink aura surrounded Gengar, and Arbok's movents visibly slowed for a mont.
"Binding the target while eroding its mind with Confusion, effectively lowering its Special Defense..." Nanami muttered.
Seemingly unsatisfied with how [Psychic] felt, Gengar landed on the ground, conjured a dark Shadow Ball, and with a grin, tossed it lightly.
BOOM!!!
Nanami stared at her Arbok, now lying in a crater, charred and defeated, her face pale.
How... how is this possible?! Just a few months ago, it was a weak Gastly, and now it's evolved into a Gengar that can one-shot my Arbok?!
Even a Gym Leader's main Pokémon wouldn't be this strong!
Natsu was also a bit stunned.
I brought you here to practice Psychic...
Not to steamroll the competition!
"Gengar!" Gengar scratched its head awkwardly.
Oops, my bad.
"Natsu-sensei," Nanami said, swallowing hard. "Have you considered... participating in next month's regional tournant?"
"Regional tournant?"
Nanami nodded. "Compared to the League Tournant, the Tokaido Region's tournant is the first step toward competing in the Touran League."
"With your strength... advancing to the Touran Conference wouldn't be difficult, right?"
Natsu stroked his chin.
The Touran region was vast, and the regional tournant was one way to select participants for the League Tournant.
But even if he participated, Natsu-sensei would be heading to Kanto next year and wouldn't make it to the Touran Conference.
Besides, Natsu wasn't particularly interested in the event.
"I'll pass," Natsu said with a smile. "I'll leave the opportunity to the younger generation!"
You say that like you've already challenged multiple leagues!
Suddenly, Nanami froze.
Her gaze toward Natsu shifted.
No wonder Gengar grew so strong in such a short ti.
So that's how it is...
Before leaving, Gengar floated over to the vending machine.
Watching Gengar stuff cans of soda into its extra-dinsional stomach, Natsu's expression turned complex.
I feel like evolving into Gengar has only increased the likelihood of criminal behavior...
Strictly speaking, this was Natsu-sensei's third training session.
But judging by Gengar's progress, things were looking promising.
"I guess I'm still sowhat useful..." Natsu muttered, stroking his chin.
...
After dinner, Natsu received a private ssage in the group chat.
Crystal: "Natsu-sensei, would it be alright if I dropped by Tokyo to visit you soti?"
Natsu-sensei: "What's up?"
Crystal smiled. "It's Professor Elm. He wants to entrust you with hatching a Pokémon egg."
"If you're willing, you can even catch the Pokémon as a reward for hatching it."
Natsu's expression shifted.
"By the way, he sent an audio file to pass on to you," Crystal added.
Opening the file, Natsu heard the heartfelt words of the oval-headed Professor Elm.
"Natsu... please allow to call you Natsu-sensei. The truth is, every newly hatched Pokémon is pure and innocent."
"By the side of a high-quality Trainer, they'll have more vitality and grow healthier."
"While Gold is exceptional at hatching, he..." Professor Elm paused, coughing awkwardly.
"If possible, I'd like to entrust you with hatching this Pokémon."
"If you're not interested in catching it, I'll offer a monetary reward. Please consider it carefully."
Natsu-sensei couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.
Honestly, I wouldn't give a Pokémon egg to Gold to hatch either...
As a fellow Egg Hatching Enthusiast, Natsu-sensei felt a sense of camaraderie.
"Fine, it's just a matter of holding it for a while."
With that, Natsu glanced at Gengar's extra-dinsional stomach, deep in thought.
If I put the egg in there... would it still hatch?
After all, it's about being close to the Trainer... and if it's with Gengar...
Maybe the effect would be even better?
After receiving Natsu's reply, Crystal decided to visit Tokyo once her schedule cleared up.
She would personally deliver the Pokémon egg to Natsu-sensei.
At 7 PM, after a three-day hiatus, Natsu-sensei, fresh from his Johto trip, opened his livestream on ti.
Fans flooded in, seeing the title "New Strategy."
"OHHHHH!"
"It's here!"
"Alright, today we're having a Pokémon battle!"
