Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

Chapter 102 Street Thug Dream is a Glutton

The moon hangs high in the sky, dotted with stars.

Beside the Daguo Lake Waterfall.

Under Altaria's imposing presence, the Pokémon that lived nearby all made way for it.

Oreki successfully set up his camping tent.

have to say.

The system's "Backpack" feature is incredibly convenient after the update.

Aside from things with life force, Oreki has never encountered anything that he couldn't put into his backpack.

It can even capture Poké Balls that don't contain any Pokémon.

As for where the camping tent came from—

All I can say is that the head of the Brewmaster Dojo is still putting in a lot of effort!

Inside Qishu's warehouse, there were at least twenty or thirty sets of similar camping tents and camping tablecloths.

When I left in the morning, Oreki borrowed a set from her.

When confronted with Qi Shu's questioning, his answer was—I have money to use.

This really made the adorable Qishu quite angry.

Thanks to his experience surviving in the New World, Oreki moved swiftly.

They quickly set up the camping tent, laid out a tablecloth, and arranged the portable benches and chairs.

Watching Oreki pull things out of thin air like a magician, Tanabata was a little dumbfounded.

The young man in front of me seems quite extraordinary.

Forget it.

Instead of worrying about these things, think about whether there will be sandwiches with the same flavor later.

I'm a little hungry.

The Qixi Bluebird quietly moved back a little distance.

Looking around, everyone was busy decorating; probably no one noticed me.

"Gurgle—gurgle—"

My stomach rumbled loudly, much to my dismay.

Then--

Besides the blacksmith leisurely hammering away at the metal mold, the man and his two Pokémon simultaneously stopped what they were doing and turned to look over.

???

No, are all your ears this sensitive?

The white cheeks of the Qixi Bluebird instantly turned red, and its white feathers appeared somewhat pink under the moonlight, like the evening glow.

Oreki paused for a moment.

Here's another little-known fact: does the shyness of the Tanabata bird manifest in its feathers?

"Dinner will be ready soon, please be patient a little longer."

"Li—"

The Tanabata Bluebird wanted to explain that it had exhausted itself in the afternoon battle with the Stonebird.

But it suddenly realized that Oreki and the two Pokémon didn't seem to be mocking at all; instead, they seemed unfazed.

The composure?

Kirullian, in particular, seemed to see a kindred spirit in him.

Unconsciously, its initial sense of shame lessened considerably, and it quietly moved back to its original position.

"Alright, Kirlia, light it."

After setting up the campfire stand, Origami directed Kirulian to light the fire.

This is one of the benefits of having a Pokémon that knows Fire-type moves; at least it's less likely to suffer from heatstroke in the wild.

Add another Pokémon with a Water-type move, and the water problem can be solved in the short term.

A must-have for home and travel!

As the surrounding temperature slowly rose, Oreki pulled Tireyon along to start making sandwiches.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Since we're camping in Padiya, we definitely have to make sure to serve sandwiches.

The bread slices and fillings were from Senior Lip in the afternoon.

If you can get something for free, you should never spend money!

High-end ingredients often require only simple stacking!

Knowing that the Tanabata Bluebird has an introverted personality and likes astringent tastes, Oreki added a little bit of his secret bitter seasoning to it.

Bitterness and sweetness go hand in hand, so it should like it too.

The rest are naturally all spicy seasonings.

Oreki himself wasn't a picky eater, but after spending a lot of time with Pokémon, he gradually developed a liking for spicy food.

"Li~~"

Looking at the exquisite sandwich in front of her, the Qixi Bluebird was both happy and somewhat shocked.

It never expected that Oreki's Pokémon would also make sandwiches.

Judging from Tire Cat's skillful food preparation techniques, she's definitely a pro.

Although it's just a simple sandwich, some people make it look unappetizing at first glance.

This trainer is being specifically criticized for not being able to even make a proper sandwich!

"The recipe is similar to before, but I added some good stuff. I hope it suits your taste." Oreki pushed the sandwich forward a bit. "Thank you for your hard work today. Here, have some."

"Li~"

Seeing that Oreki's three Pokémon had started eating, Altaria stopped hesitating and began to eat slowly and carefully.

Elegance is something you should always be mindful of.

but.

After the first bite, it froze on the spot.

This taste?!

It's even more authentic than the bitter melon stew at Bao's cafeteria?!

Yi Bao Canteen is the largest canteen in Jin Hui Town and the second largest restaurant in the entire Padiya region after Hai Dai Chinese Restaurant.

There's no other reason than that you can buy all sorts of crystal fragments there.

It is said that the alliance is controlling it from behind the scenes.

"Li—"

The bluebird took another bite.

After discovering that the sandwiches made by Oreki and Tirae were even tastier than the signature dishes at the Treasure Diner, it couldn't help but eat them faster.

So.

The bonus from Tire Cat's "Intermediate Cooking" ability, combined with the effects of the secret bitter seasoning, gradually took effect within its body.

I always feel like my body is hot?

The Qixi Bluebird stared into thought as it looked at the sandwich that was still half full.

Its strength miraculously recovered by more than half without Miss Joey's help.

Was what I was eating just a regular sandwich from Padiya, or some kind of full-potion concoction?

"Why aren't you eating? Is it not to your liking?"

Noticing the Tanabata's unusual behavior, Oreki asked.

Upon hearing this, Tire Cat also looked over.

There was a hint of warning in his eyes.

That wretched Cotton Bird seduced its own trainer, fine, but if you dare say it doesn't taste good, I'll immediately—immediately call for backup!

Let that land shark come and beat you up!

"Li~"

Although it didn't know why Tirae Meow was looking at it with some hostility, Tanabata still expressed its approval in a friendly manner.

This sandwich is the best I've ever had!

"Meow."

That's more like it, meow.

Tire Cat gave a soft snort, "I'll let you off this time."

"Kanon!"

I want more!

The little blacksmith finished the sandwich in no time and immediately reached out his little hand again.

Without saying a word, Tire Cat ran over with a grin to continue making it for it.

For a chef, a customer asking for another bowl is the highest praise!

Upon seeing this.

Oreki nodded slightly. "If you want to eat it in the future, you can come to Hoenn-Kanaz City to find me, um—provided that Aoki-nii agrees."

"Aoki, I really didn't mean to poach your boyfriend."

"Li"

"6~

The Bluebird of Qixi immediately agreed.

The trainer simply likes the sandwiches others make.

This first camping dinner in the wild was eaten very slowly.

Even Kirlia, who usually punches her way through her food after eating, unusually put aside her plans and chose to lie half-reclined on Oreki's lap and gaze at the starry sky.

The young blacksmith simply ate a lot.

Tire Cat has already started making her a fourth sandwich.

After all, the child is still growing, and Oreki wouldn't want to make things difficult for him.

But just as the fourth sandwich was made and placed in front of the young blacksmith...

A gentle breeze swept by.

The sandwich vanished into thin air in an instant!

"Kanon?!?!"

The young blacksmith made a loud noise, grabbed his small hammer, and stood up, looking around nervously.

But where can you find any trace of sandwiches?

then--

It looked at the trainer with suspicion.

Only a trainer could perform such a magical transformation like a sandwich!

result.

Oreki was also completely bewildered.

Seriously? Pokémon can actually run away with things right under our noses these days??

What is sacred?

He couldn't help but look at the Tanabata Bluebird.

As the ace Pokémon of the Elite Four, it should have a better understanding of Pokémon tactics.

But to everyone's surprise, the Qixi Bluebird also shook its head in confusion, indicating that it did not know.

"hiss!"

A chill rose from the soles of Oreki's feet.

Hopefully we won't encounter anything dirty.

Ghosts do exist in the Pokémon world.

To be honest, even Oreki doesn't know how to deal with Ghost Pokémon.

His attacks are all physical, or if you had to describe them, they would be classified as fighting techniques.

It has absolutely no effect on Ghost Pokémon.

He lacks both courage and cunning.

For some reason, the wind around them seemed to pick up a bit more as one person and four pets were at work.

Oreki's expression gradually turned serious. "Kirlia, use your psychic powers to sense things."

"Chiru".

Kirlia closed her eyes, and her superpowers spread out.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard it searched, it found no trace of it.

The noise from the surrounding wild Pokémon continued unabated.

"Tirey Meow, make another sandwich."

Oreki continued to give instructions.

Tire Cat looked around, feeling a little scared, but still obediently got up and continued making things.

Even if the sky falls, the trainer and the cotton bird will hold it up!

soon.

With the bread slice placed on top, another sandwich is ready.

Tirecat gently placed it on the table, then hid behind the trainer, only peeking out to observe.

Oreki and the other Pokémon stared intently at the sandwich.

one second.

two seconds.

Swish!

The sandwich has disappeared again!

"Chiru!"

Kirlian disappeared simultaneously and reappeared three meters away.

The Flame Fist slammed into the void.

Bang! !

A transparent film appeared under the bombardment of the Flame Fist.

But it merely appeared, without even a ripple, before disappearing back into the void.

Kirullian doesn't believe in superstition.

After closing his eyes and sensing the energy again, he teleported to the top of a large tree and threw another punch.

The ending is the same.

Repeat this process six or seven times.

Whenever Kirullian felt it had lost its target, that aura would always reappear at just the right moment on the edge of its perception.

Oreki, who witnessed all of this, seemed lost in thought.

Why does it feel like something is deliberately guiding Kirlia?

I glanced at the Qixi Bluebird.

After receiving Oreki's gaze, Tanabata understood his meaning and nodded slightly in agreement.

It didn't notice anything when the sandwich disappeared for the first time.

However, after it disappeared a second time, subtle ripples could be detected in the space.

It was obvious that the unknown creature had deliberately revealed a flaw.

In this situation, if it is focused, it can be attacked just like Kirlia.

However, its idea is similar to Oreki's.

This is clearly guiding Kirlia.

Although it didn't know what the other party's purpose was.

Tire Cat glanced at the trainer, then at the Altaria beside her, sensing that the two had just been exchanging glances, but she had no proof.

No, no, no, now is not the time to think about that.

It then looked at Kirlia, which was constantly disappearing and reappearing in the air, twisting and turning.

It stemmed from a cat's sixth sense—it always felt that Little La was about to become stronger again—

air.

Kirlia was gradually losing her pace and slowing down.

But the thought that the other party was making fun of it made it furious.

There was a time when I was the one using Teleport to outmaneuver other Pokémon!

hateful!

Losing face in front of my trainer is absolutely unacceptable!!

It disappeared and reappeared once again, and this time its body was tinged with a faint blue hue. You should know that its superpower has always been purple.

After that, its reaction speed became unusually fast, to the point that it no longer needed to stop and use its superpowers to sense things.

At a certain moment.

The bluebird suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?"

It discovered that it had lost the exact location of the unknown creature, but Kirullian was able to pinpoint it with precision.

Looking at the other person again, they were enveloped in a blue aura, which was particularly noticeable in the night.

Oreki didn't interfere much, but an idea was gradually taking shape in his mind.

Bang! !

It's another collision between a fiery fist and a transparent membrane.

However, this time, the transparent film did not disappear; instead, it shattered upon impact.

From Oreki and the others' perspective, it looked as if Kirlia had smashed the void with her Flame Fist.

next second.

The unknown creature finally revealed its true form.

With its dark green body, red and yellow irises, a string of bright red beads around its neck, and its hair spreading out wildly on both sides of its head, it looks like an enlarged version of a dream demon.

"Winged Launcher??"

Oreki suddenly stood up and looked at the "uninvited guest" in front of him.

If you look closely, you can see crumbs of a sandwich still remaining at the corners of the other person's mouth.

Why is Vibrating Wings outside? And why does it seem to be helping Kirlia awaken her special abilities?

Oreki knew very well that Dr. Orin had set up a barrier in the Padia Giant Pit to protect the entire Padia region and prevent Paradox Pokémon from escaping the pit.

In the later stages of the game's storyline, only the Earthquake Treasure Lord and the Cover God broke through the barrier and emerged.

Almost all of the Paradox Pokémon are extremely fierce and combative.

If Zhenyi had simply launched an attack to fight them, it would have been understandable, but what they're doing now is simply unbelievable!

Seeing the shocked and apprehensive look on Oreki's face, Zhenyi suddenly grinned.

59

"Oreki sat back down, speechless."

So after all that, you're still just a street urchin.

"Dream, stop pretending."

"Misconception?"

Now it was Zhenyi's turn to be shocked; his body even seemed somewhat ethereal.

"Mew~~~"

How could this human still recognize him when he had transformed into an ancient Pokémon that was already extinct in the outside world?

hum!

The flapping wings disappeared.

At the same time, Kirlia followed closely behind.

The two appeared beside Oreki, one after the other.

"Meow Σ(°A°；)"

The cat behind her, Tire, was startled and immediately bristled.

"Chiru!"

Kirlia, who had reappeared, angrily clenched her fist, as if venting her dissatisfaction at being just tricked.

"Mew~~"

However, Zhenyi simply ignored it, his ribbon-like hair swaying slightly.

The direction is exactly where Tiremy made the sandwiches on the desktop.

There are also some side dishes and bread slices on top.

"You've already eaten two," Oreki said.

"Mwah!"

Zhenyi then pointed at Kirulian.

"Chiru!"

Kirlia continued to throw punches, signaling, "Come at me if you dare!"

Is this little girl stupid?

I was just activating your waveguide, how come you haven't noticed?

When Mewtwo was caught off guard, a deep blue aura suddenly emanated from its body. Kirlia, who was opposite it, seemed to be out of control, and its own blue aura expanded in sync.

"Chiru?!"

Kirlia was stunned as she looked at the blue ripples on her body.

This—isn't this the same aura as Lucario's master??

"Mew—"
