October 26th, Monday.
The semifinals of the Tokaido Region ca to an end.
Natsu from Tokyo tropolitan University would face off against the veteran Haruki for the championship title.
Thanks to dia coverage, even viewers unfamiliar with the tournant began to take notice of this young contestant.
A renowned video content creator, Intercollegiate League MVP, Pride of Tokyo tropolitan University...
With so many titles attached to this handso young man, Natsu's popularity continued to soar.
On the night the tournant ended, fans flooded the live stream, spamming Natsu-sensei's famous s.
"Winning the Baby Cup for prize money? Classic Natsu-sensei!"
"This move... Natsu-sensei is playing 4D chess!"
Fans had grown accustod to Natsu-sensei's shalessness.
On the other hand, seeing Sylveon's heroic performance on the battlefield was equally delightful.
Due to his high win rate, Natsu couldn't find a match.
So, he stread so Plants vs. Zombies and began his classic "sick play" antics.
"Ugh, so annoying, how did that Sleep Powder miss?" Natsu exclaid.
The chat was flooded with question marks.
"Is this how Dave taught you to use Grass-type Pokémon?"
"Cold and trembling, when will us non-luckers ever rise up!"
Natsu-sensei's face turned red as he coughed awkwardly. "Just bad luck today... Let's switch things up and give you guys a tour of the house I'm renting!"
The live stream's curiosity was instantly piqued.
With the cara on a stabilizer, Natsu switched the view. "This is the new hamster wheel I bought for Sylveon... It's equipped with a power generator that connects directly to the battery."
The new hamster wheel he promised Sylveon before the match had been delivered to his ho.
Not only could he watch Sylveon run on the wheel, but he could also save on electricity.
Natsu-sensei couldn't help but pat himself on the back for his cleverness.
Fans: "???"
Next was the living room, where Gengar was cleaning.
"Gengar~"
Gengar made a face at the cara, its eyeball popping out and falling to the ground.
"What the?!"
"Is this a horror stream?!"
"Gengar~" Gengar picked up the eyeball and popped it back in, grinning.
Natsu nodded calmly. "Pretty cute."
"???"
"You call that cute?!"
"Sohow, I suddenly feel bad for Natsu-sensei..."
The final stop was Natsu-sensei's music studio, filled with various musical instrunts.
At the fans' urging, Natsu placed Sylveon on his lap and played an impromptu piano piece.
The smooth performance left the fans speechless.
"Amateur level 10, and I feel completely outclassed by Natsu-sensei..."
"Are you the Top Coordinator?"
In Pokémon Contests, so coordinators use dance, costus, and performances to boost their scores.
For example, Wallace is skilled at playing the traditional ocarina of the "People of the Glass," giving off so serious CP vibes with Steven...
Speaking of which, Natsu's expression turned strange.
He still hadn't returned the harmonica he borrowed from Steven...
Natsu's new antics boosted the live stream's popularity even further.
Sylveon lay on Natsu's lap, its little head bobbing as it humd softly in its sleep.
The sight of it dozing off made Natsu smile involuntarily.
To lull the little one to sleep, Natsu stopped the performance. "Alright, that's it for today's stream."
The fans snapped out of their daze, protesting, "That's not enough!"
Before anyone could react, the stream went dark.
"Wow, classic lightning-fast sign-off!"
"I told you, Natsu-sensei was clearly a bar singer before becoming a strear!"
The night was deep.
Even Growlithe lay on the floor, lazily letting out a yawn.
Natsu carried Sylveon to its cat bed, tucking it in before heading to the living room.
There, he found Gengar crouched over the Pokémon egg, looking suspicious.
"What are you doing?"
"Gengar!" Gengar waved its little paw, urging Natsu to co closer and listen.
Natsu glanced over and, mimicking Gengar, pressed his ear against the eggshell. He chuckled, "Huh, pretty lively!"
Natsu did the math. It had been less than half a month since he took over the Pokémon egg.
For it to grow so healthily, he must be doing sothing right by Professor Elm!
As if responding to Natsu, the Pokémon egg wobbled slightly.
"It should hatch soon."
Natsu rubbed his chin. "Looks like I'll have to bring it to the Finals."
"Gengar~~"
At that mont, Gengar tugged on Natsu's sleeve, its eyes glowing blue as it levitated into the air.
This was the "Psychic" ability taught by Sabrina.
By now, Gengar had mastered it, effortlessly manipulating objects and flying around.
Gengar floated in a circle before landing in front of Natsu, hands on hips, grinning confidently.
Natsu had a hunch and asked, "You want to battle in the next match?"
Gengar bared its teeth and nodded.
The regional finals were set for October 28th, just two days away.
By then, the entire Tokaido Region would have its eyes on the Battle Arena in Tokyo.
The prize pool of 6 million Pokémon Coins, including items like Fla Orb and Focus Sash, is a luxurious reward worth fighting for by any Trainer.
But after a mont of thought, Natsu looked into Gengar's eyes and said seriously, "I an it... The opponent is strong..."
"We can always earn more money, but your safety cos first!"
Gengar was stunned.
Its little paws tugged at its eyelids, tears welling up.
"Gengar~??(｀Д｀)"
Even if it's for the Trainer...
I absolutely can't lose this match!
Natsu patted Gengar's back.
Thinking back to past experiences, he couldn't help but wonder.
Sohow, I feel like not winning the prize money might actually give a chance to pay off the debt.
But winning it might just blow up in my face again?
"Whatever... The opponent is a veteran who's competed in multiple tournants."
Natsu murmured, "Gengar still needs to be careful..."
...
The next day.
Early in the morning, Gengar headed to the club for training.
Natsu yawned and answered a call from Mina.
"Boss, I'm almost done!" Mina said, her voice slightly choked up.
After working overti and pushing herself to the limit, Mina had completed over 100 illustrations.
In the video call, Mina had heavy dark circles under her eyes, and her hairline had noticeably receded.
Natsu felt a pang of guilt.
So this is why Oleana's hairline is so high in Sword and Shield...
Could this... be our company culture?!
Natsu said sympathetically, "Don't worry, hair loss counts as a work-related injury!"
Mina, her hair and dress covered in paint, was montarily stunned before tears welled up in her eyes.
The boss... finally did sothing decent!
"The illustrations should be ready by the 30th."
Mina said, "Are you really planning to have Professor Samuel Oak endorse this? He seems so serious..."
Professor Samuel Oak is serious?
Natsu thought about it.
To the outside world, Professor Samuel Oak, as a research leader, might co off as rigid.
But in reality... Professor Samuel Oak is quite a child at heart.
"Don't worry, I'm confident I can convince him."
Natsu nodded.
Honestly, this is my Trainer's way!
