After calming down, Natsu-sensei carefully examined the manuals.
The manuals from Agatha, the Ghost-type Elite Four mber, contained battle techniques for Double Team and Dream Eater.
In terms of practicality and rarity, they were on par with Koga's Toxic Manuscript—a legendary-quality item.
But... Natsu's mixed emotions.
I really don't need more of this stuff!
Natsu cautiously asked, "So... how much will this cost in total?"
Blue Oak thought for a mont. "Grandma Agatha's Gengar cost around 50 million Pokémon Coins to train. It's not much."
Natsu's expression turned odd.
For an Elite Four-level Gengar... 50 million Pokémon Coins isn't just 'not much,' it's actually quite cheap...
But why... does my chest hurt so much?
Natsu shakily sat back down on the sofa.
He reached out and grabbed Growlithe, who had been running around.
After rubbing Growlithe's head in frustration, Natsu sighed in relief. "That feels better."
"Growlithe (O_o)??"
When you think about it, this is just small change.
Once my career takes off, I'll earn it all back eventually.
Besides, once Gengar learns Double Team, it might even be able to take on a few more part-ti jobs...
Agatha's manuals officially joined Gengar's luxury textbook collection.
Gengar took the textbook, its expression shifting from confusion to surprise, then to excitent.
It opened its mouth wide, its long red tongue licking toward Natsu.
Natsu dodged to the side and coughed lightly. "Make sure to rest... You need to balance work and relaxation."
Gengar nodded, grinning.
In truth, Gengar had been sneaking in so training during work hours.
But since Trainer said to balance work and rest...
Gengar tried to cross its arms, but its short limbs could only manage to rest on each other, like a little student listening attentively.
Gengar rested its hands on each other and nodded thoughtfully.
Then during breaks, I'll go challenge the Tokyo Gyms!
...
October 10th, Thursday.
It was still early in the morning when Natsu was awakened by the sound of a hamster wheel.
Scratching his ssy hair, he walked into the living room to find Sylveon gracefully running on its wheel.
Hmm... The early bird catches the worm.
Natsu yawned. "Let's have breakfast first. No energy to lose weight without food."
"Sylveon..." Sylveon paused.
That... makes sense!
Sylveon jumped down, its sapphire-like eyes looking at Natsu as it tilted its head and pointed a ribbon toward the kitchen.
Then hurry up and cook!
"So I'm just the chef now?"
Natsu complained but still obediently put on an apron.
He turned on the range hood, lit the stove, and as the oil sizzled, the little ones sensed it and obediently sat at the table, waiting for breakfast.
Despite being broke, Natsu's household always had good als...
This might also be why the Engel coefficient never went down.
"Gengar! (￣～￣)"
Gengar chewed on bread while flipping through Grandma Agatha's manuals, completely absorbed.
The scene reminded Natsu of a high school senior preparing for college entrance exams, studying even during breakfast.
Gengar's current schedule included training Psychic in the morning, part-ti work in the afternoon, and practicing Double Team at night...
Study until you drop!
"This is way too hardworking!"
Natsu rubbed his chin, muttering, "Maybe I should prepare so supplents for it..."
Perhaps Gengar's self-discipline inspired the other mbers.
In the afternoon, Squirtle, who rarely went out, followed Gengar to the club for training.
Growlithe, though new to the team, decided to follow the example of its older brothers and started by running a few dozen laps.
The house suddenly beca quiet.
Natsu-sensei, feeling like an empty nester, was about to sigh when his gaze landed on Sylveon, who was taking a nap.
"Hmm?" Natsu rubbed his chin.
No wonder you're getting heavier, Sylveon!
But with Sylveon by his side, Natsu's mood improved.
He quietly approached the dozing Sylveon.
Taking a deep breath, Natsu buried his face in Sylveon's soft, snow-white belly fur.
This feeling!
Natsu's spirits lifted.
So soft! So fragrant!
Before he could enjoy it for long, Natsu looked up to see Sylveon's flushed face.
"Sylveon!! (｀皿｀)??"
"Wait... let explain! Don't use Iron Tail!"
...
Tokyo Gyms.
The apprentices' Pokémon were taken out one by one by Growlithe's Crunch.
Gengar once again stood before Takuya, a sinister grin on its face as it tossed a Poké Ball in its hand.
Beside it stood Squirtle, cautiously adjusting its sunglasses.
Tokyo Gyms.
The apprentices' Pokémon were taken out one by one by Growlithe's Crunch.
Gengar once again stood before Takuya, a sinister grin on its face as it tossed a Poké Ball in its hand.
Beside it stood Squirtle, cautiously adjusting its sunglasses.
Takuya's the mood is quite complicated.
Why does this guy keep coming to challenge ...
Am I weaker than the other Leaders?!
But even Takuya couldn't gauge Gengar's current strength.
Honestly, even if he used his main team, Takuya wasn't confident of winning.
And then there was this Squirtle...
Takuya's expression turned odd.
It doesn't even have a scratch on it, so why is it constantly spraying Potion on its shell?!
Does Potion grow on trees?!
Looking at Gengar's sinister grin, Takuya sighed. "I get it... Make it quick, thanks."
"Gengar!" Gengar shook its finger, indicating that it wasn't the one challenging this ti.
"Then..." Takuya looked at Squirtle.
"Squirtle." Squirtle took half a step back.
This Gym seems to have so strong hidden cards. Better not act rashly...
"Let this Growlithe do it? Ha!"
Takuya rolled up his sleeves. "You're really underestimating !"
"Go, Swoobat!"
"Gengar!" Gengar gave a look.
Growlithe bared its sharp fangs and pounced forward, landing a Crunch on Swoobat's wing.
Thud!
Looking at the fallen Swoobat, Takuya was stunned.
What the... It's already over?
What on earth does Natsu feed his Pokémon?!
Ten minutes later.
After being swept by Growlithe, Takuya nodded calmly.
Well... If I just accept defeat, no one can mock !
Speaking of which... Takuya rubbed his chin.
Even this Growlithe already has the strength to compete in Regional tournants...
If Natsu were to participate... He might actually bring a Regional Champion title back to Tokyo.
"By the way," Takuya casually asked, "Has Natsu already signed up for the Regional Tournant?"
Gengar, who had been coaching Growlithe, suddenly paused.
If Trainer had signed up, he would've told us by now.
But there's been no news about it...
Trainer... Could it be...
Gengar thought for a mont, then had an epiphany.
Is it because he didn't have ti to register?
"He hasn't signed up yet?"
Takuya was slightly surprised. "The deadline is tomorrow!"
"Gengar?! Σ(°△°|||)︴"
Noticing Gengar's expression, Takuya nodded understandingly. "If he doesn't have ti to register in person, I have a Gym Leader's invitation here. He just needs to fill out the registration form..."
"Gengar! （`▽`)" (Thanks a lot!)
As Takuya handed over the pen and paper, he asked, "Aren't you going to take this back to Natsu? What if he doesn't want to participate?"
Gengar shook its head.
No one understands Natsu better than it does.
The desire to beco a Champion burns brighter in Natsu than in anyone else.
Otherwise, why would he have spent last night chatting with the Sinnoh Champion again?
And the Regional Champion title is the first step toward becoming a Legendary Trainer!
Gengar filled out Natsu's na on the registration form and glanced over it.
"Gengar!"
Gengar patted its own shoulder and grinned.
Taking care of Trainer's responsibilities so easily...
That's why you're the best, Gengar!
