Now reading: Chapter 66 - 066: Becoming an Assistant Coach from Pokémon：Trainer's Gambit, a Action novel by NovelExplorer.

In this world, there are many Pokémon Professors.

Professor Samuel Oak from Kanto, Professor Augustine Sycamore from Kalos, Professor Kukui from Alola...

Thanks to the research of these scholars, ga Evolution, Z-Moves, and even Dynamax have been revealed to the world.

Although the "Researcher shocks the world" trope is missing, Natsu never intended to beco a Researcher anyway.

Besides, it's better to discover these things early. Natsu has always wanted to see a showdown between ga Evolution and Dynamax.

However, based on the current situation...

Due to the energy limitations of Eternatus, Dynamax is still exclusive to the Galar Region...

But who knows what the future holds?

Back in the day, Professor Samuel Oak claid there were only 151 Pokémon, and Professor Augustine Sycamore said ga Evolution could only be used in the Kalos Region.

Didn't they both end up apologizing to the entire nation later?

Maybe in the future, with the construction of an energy transmitter, Dynamax could be used in other regions too!

"Looks like this Master League is going to be quite exciting..." Natsu murmured.

Although he has no intention of becoming a Trainer, the thought of watching the battles of various big shots still excites him.

From the discussions in the group, it seems the next Master League will be held in Tokyo.

"I might as well go and join the fun when the ti cos."

...

The night had grown deep.

The diligent Haunter wiped its sweat, gazing at the sparkling clean room, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Haunter!"

Eevee also yawned, wobbling off the running wheel, rubbing its eyes, and curling up in its cat bed to sleep.

Natsu climbed into bed, reaching out to the cat bed by his side and giving Eevee a good ruffle.

By the ti Eevee realized what had happened, Natsu was already skillfully snoring.

"Eevee! (#｀皿′)"

Haunter neatly folded the corner of Natsu's blanket.

Yawning, Haunter squinted its eyes and floated up to the ceiling like a balloon, gradually drifting off to sleep.

Midnight.

The long howl of a Houndoom at the construction site added a touch of solemnity to the night.

Haunter and Eevee opened their eyes, exchanged a glance, and nodded simultaneously.

Ti to move out under the cover of darkness!

According to the Rattata at the scene: "Raticate!"

Roughly translated, the bell was so terrifying that it completely sapped their will to escape!

The owth and Raticate had already developed the ability to recognize Eevee's footsteps.

But the Soothe Bell numbed their senses, leaving them completely off guard!

Eevee, equipped with its new gear, fought like a war god.

The Anticipation Ability fully enhanced Eevee's sensitivity, making it a walking gank radar!

As dawn broke.

Haunter, carrying a proud Eevee, left the "battlefield" of the construction site and floated back to the sixth floor...

...

July 9th, Thursday.

Natsu yawned, glancing at the two Pokémon still asleep, and couldn't help but smile.

"When they're asleep... they're quite well-behaved!"

He headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the two Pokémon.

As the sizzling sound of the frying pan filled the air, Natsu glanced at the progress bar in his retina.

[Cooking Lv2 (67/100)]

The proficiency wasn't growing too slowly, averaging about one point per day, which was much more convenient than training his cooking skills himself.

Fresh Berry salad, fragrant butter-fried fish, and tender onsen eggs.

Since Eevee didn't like milk, Natsu prepared orange juice for it.

The two little ones rubbed their sleepy eyes, yawning as they made their way to the dining table, quietly enjoying their al.

Eevee & Haunter: (￣～￣) munch!

"Don't grab with your hands, Haunter!"

"Haunter? (*⊙~⊙)"

"Never mind... as long as you're happy."

Early in the morning, Natsu received a call from his father in the countryside.

The news of Natsu's victory in the Piplup Cup had even reached Makoto, prompting him to call and inquire.

"Natsu, if you want to beco a Trainer, I'll be the first to support you!"

"Dad, it's really not necessary..."

"How can that be? A father knows his son best. I've already smoothed things over with your mom, so don't worry!"

After hanging up, Natsu silently raised his milk and chugged half the bottle.

As soon as he hung up, his phone rang again.

Looking at the caller ID, Natsu thought for a mont before answering tentatively, "Coach Takashi?"

"Natsu, first of all, congratulations on your victory."

Takashi smiled, cutting Natsu off.

"Third ti's the charm. Since you don't plan to join the school team, I won't push you... This ti, it's a different invitation."

"What is it?"

"I'd like to invite you to be the assistant coach for the school team."

The Tokyo tropolitan University Pokémon School team has always ranked highly in the national league.

Being selected for the school team is undoubtedly an honor many Battle Departnt students dream of.

The position of assistant coach is usually filled by third-year mbers.

Extending an invitation to Natsu, who is about to enter his second year, is quite rare.

"Let's talk about the compensation first... a monthly stipend of 10,000 Pokémon Coins."

"Though it's not much, if we maintain our league ranking, the stipend will increase."

"Then there's the school team bonus next sester... I believe it's 30,000 Pokémon Coins? Assistant coaches are eligible to apply for it too."

Takashi smiled, "With your resu and insights, as long as you're willing to join, the bonus won't be an issue!"

Takashi watched the entire Piplup Cup finals.

With his experience as a coach, he could clearly see Natsu's exceptional command skills.

Although his Pokémon's strength is still a bit behind that of third-year students.

But with his on-the-spot adaptability and Pokémon contests, Natsu is undoubtedly the best candidate for assistant coach!

"I heard... they even call you Natsu-sensei, right?" Takashi chuckled.

"Think about the assistant coach position carefully?"

Natsu scratched his head, "That's it?"

"Huh?"

"The compensation... just this?"

Takashi coughed forcefully, "Of course... not! At the start of next sester, the school's Pokémon Day Care will receive a new batch of Pokémon. I'll definitely save a spot for you!"

Even the thick-skinned Natsu couldn't help but feel touched.

The Pokémon bred at the Tokyo tropolitan University Pokémon Day Care are definitely worth six figures on the market.

Coach Takashi is clearly going all out, showing his full sincerity.

"I don't need the Pokémon."

Natsu laughed, "Just give the money directly!"

Takashi was slightly stunned.

He doesn't even want the Pokémon from the Tokyo tropolitan University Pokémon Day Care...?

Even as the school team's coach, the number of spots Takashi has is extrely limited!

Even if it's just money, those Pokémon with excellent potential are priceless!

Could it be...

Is he thinking of ?

Thinking this, Takashi felt a warmth in his heart and imdiately laughed heartily:
